Chapter 470: Laozi

The two of them spoke clearly and succinctly, as if a gentle conversation between gentlemen was indifferent, but Old Corey felt a bit of cold, and there was an uncomfortable feeling in his chest, as if he was in a storm. On the violently bumpy side deck.

Marlowe Smith waved to the modular sofa and said, "Sit down."

Tang Fang was not at all polite, walked to the middle of the three-seater sofa and sat down.

Old Corey smiled unnaturally, and slowly sat on a single sofa, while Marlowe sat opposite him and said, "What to drink?"

Tang Fang said, "Don't bother. The Governor didn't invite me over for tea, but it's important to talk about business."

Marlow didn't expect him to speak so directly, he was taken aback for a while, then smiled and said: "Very well, neither humble nor overbearing, he is the number one."

What system is the Phoenix Empire? In monarchy countries, the nobles are not as approachable as officials in countries like the Star Alliance. They have always been high above, like a mountain overlooking the incompetent ants in the camp. Over time, they naturally form an aura, and ordinary people will inevitably lose their mentality in front of them. , Fearful.

Tang Fang smiled and replied lightly: "Thanks."

What is the title of the Governor? Second Earl! There are as many as two or three Counts like him who died in his hands, Aldridge of Crotan, Roger of Rector, and of course, Lancelot, the heir to the higher duke. .

Not to mention that Marlow Smith was just an earl, even if the Holy Emperor of the Phoenix Empire, Virginia Alexander, could not shake the heart of Master Captain, because there was always someone who had to pay for the tragic fate of Morris slave.

Perhaps it was Tang Fang's coldness and calm that made Marlowe a little unhappy. He frowned and looked at the old Corey opposite: "Are you Corey Christian of the'Wanderer Technology Consortium'?"

"Yes." Old Corey nodded, thinking of something. After pondering, he added: "It used to be."

Maruo looked at Tang Fang, then at him. Suddenly, a sharp light burst into his eyes, and then quickly dimmed. He lay on the back of the sofa, thinking for a long time, and said, "That mysterious battleship is for you."

Tang Fang shrugged, his expression was indifferent, and his tone was equally indifferent, as if this was not the point of the matter at all: "Perhaps, who knows..."

maybe? Who knows? Marlow's fingers on his knees and gently tapping his knees froze in place, frowned and said, "You don't know where it came from?"

Tang Fang said, "I don't know."

Marlowe didn't ask any more. He wants to understand one thing, it doesn't make much sense to entangle on this issue, and since the other party doesn't want to talk, he has no good way. After all, if you want to ask others now, it's better not to entangle these details.

The Tianchao star area has never been very peaceful, and under the turbulent situation, there are turbulent undercurrents, and there are many rats hiding in the dark.

Sorrowful and smiling. He said, "You are lucky."

"Who said no."

Tang Fang still had that stubborn face. Old Corey finally understood why Horace hated him. This was an act of contempt for the authority and the elder. Appears very rude, very rebellious, and very uneducated.

However, this is very relieved, because Marlowe is known as the most promising man in the "Pasqueflower" family. It is definitely difficult to do with money to watch Lord Earl deflate.

Maro is indeed a little angry, the clay figurines still have a three-point anger, not to mention a noble boy like him. It's just that he has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and his qi training is very good. Anger but not obvious, sullen but not dry. Still unhurriedly said: "Unfortunately, Boyle, Horace and the others are not very lucky."

"!"

Tang Fang used 4 in a row, shaking his right index finger like a pendulum. This behavior was still very disrespectful, but his next words caused Maruo's pupils to shrink, and his body was frozen into a piece of profound ice by the sudden cold wind, cold, And hard.

"Their luck is already very good, somehow they keep the whole body, but the ‘staff’ in the warehouse... They... are yours."

When he said this, the captain stopped his movements, his gaze fell on the Lord Earl through his index finger, splitting his not-so-good-looking face in half.

Near noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the hot light shot through the window lattices into the room. It was cut off by the precious tables and chairs in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the stiff body of Lord Earl. The heat of the sun was enough to melt the snow and the glaciers, but it couldn't melt him. The wind and snow in my heart, the cold light in my eyes.

Ma Luo looked at Tang Fang, his eyes widened, his pupils shrunk very small, his body was tight, and his expression was terribly cold. His phrase "Your luck is really good." It was just a casual compliment, rather than luck. He believes more in strength, or mind.

Although he didn't know what happened in the warehouse, he knew very well that the reason why Tang Fang's few people survived was because of the small proportion of luck, even close to zero infinitely.

This guy is really smart!

However, until now, he suddenly realized that he still underestimated his opponent, Captain Tang's intelligence was completely beyond his imagination, and he was already close to a demon.

The information revealed by the above sentence may seem simple, but it actually contains something deeper.

Marlow knows this well, because these so-called "deep things" originate from him.

As early as last night, he had insight into the conspiracy of the "Rover Technology Consortium" and knew that Boyle, Horace and others had set up a set for Captain Tang.

It is true that this is shameless, despicable, and very low-handed, but Lord Earl is not an upright gentleman. He didn't have the mind to care about Tang Fang's life and death. Even if the Phoenix Empire representative was not scammed at the "Somar" auction, Never carry forward the style to save a businessman from the Star Alliance.

Because he needs to use the deaths of certain people to make a fuss, in order to create a "little trouble" for the Star Alliance government. It doesn't make much difference to him whether Tang Fang and others died, or Horace's death. As long as the "staff" in the warehouse accidentally broke this scandal, the Phoenix Empire would have enough reason to pour dirty water on the Star Alliance government and ask for explanations, making the old guys in the parliament anxious and embarrassed.

Actually... it really doesn't matter who lives and lives!

But I didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to be killed halfway, and the mysterious battleship kicked in. Turning the situation into a mess, the carefully arranged "staff" died unexpectedly, and only a group of Tang Fang survived.

Boyle, Horace and others all died. Only Corey Christian is alive, now it seems. This old guy is afraid that he has betrayed the "Rover Technology Consortium" and bought by this kid.

Today, Captain Tang’s seemingly very casual remark, but if it is as if nothing happened to him, how could Marlowe Smith not be surprised, how could he not be shocked!

Wisdom is almost a demon. This term may be applicable to Zhuge Liang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but it is not very realistic to Tang Fang. He is not as terrible as Lord Earl thought. However, relying on the presence of Emma, ​​the instructions sent by the Governor's Mansion to all parts of "Alkasi" through space-based communication equipment could not be hidden from his eyes and ears.

Of course, he wouldn't say this, Marlow Smith naturally has no way of knowing.

"well!"

These two words were spoken almost by biting the tip of the tongue, as cold as a cold wind, and as sharp as a cone of ice.

Lord Earl straightened up, looked at him and said, "I like dealing with smart people because it saves a lot of things."

This is what he said in his heart, but it was half of it. Because the second half sentence is a bit unpleasant, at least it is inappropriate to say it in this scene, because it is: "At the same time. I hate dealing with smart people because it is very troublesome."

Tang Fang smiled, did not answer, looked at Ma Luo, quietly waiting for the words below him.

"Talk about your terms, I know you are a businessman."

Politicians are good at balancing, and businessmen are proficient in trading. This is a society where interests are paramount, and you have to pay if you want to harvest.

Marlowe understood the truth. Therefore, he has no nonsense. There was no detailed explanation, just saying: "What I want. You should be very clear in your heart."

Tang Fang nodded and said, "I know what you want. In the general direction, we have a common enemy, but you are politics, and I am out of anger. Some people or organizations must do what they do today. To pay some price, otherwise, others will think I am a good bully."

Ma Luo smiled, the golden sunlight bloomed behind him, Xuan Bing turned into Wen Yu, and the cold wind and haze were swept away.

He said: "I don't know what other people think. I don't think so anyway."

Tang Fang narrowed his eyes into a slit, looked at the dazzling "Babylon" at the top of the French windows, smiled and said, "How about before?"

Marlow thought for a while, and said: "Provoke the spirit, the ghost is sad."

"Master Earl is really humorous."

"Captain Tang is a good method."

"..."

Old Corey sat opposite Marlow Smith. The temperature in the Governor’s office was neither high nor low, just like the season of peach blossoms. However, he felt that the bottom of his **** was wet and greasy, like a layer of sweat sticking to it, and airtight. , I feel uncomfortable.

He vaguely guessed the content of the two's transaction, and he had a deeper understanding of Captain Tang's character.

This kid is not only cunning, but also a combination of contradictions with long sleeves and good dancers, who refuses to suffer and will repay.

In Marlowe Smith’s cognition, he was probably already bought by Tang Fang, as his eyeliner was placed in the "Rover Technology Consortium", making Boyle and others' plans fall short and tragically died in a foreign land.

He was really wronged. In the whole incident, he did not pass the wind for Captain Tang and reported a letter. He was more like a bystander, watching Boyle, Horace and others act, and finally put himself Acting to death.

Tang Fang seems to have done nothing, but he knows everything. He has always been very cooperative, like a qualified supporting role, watching the protagonists jumping and jumping like monkeys, and they are smiling and jumping most joyfully. When I slapped to death.

Only then did he really see what Captain Tang was and how deeply his strength was hidden. Therefore, he did not hesitate to change his job to become a traitor. This was to save his life and it was also a choice.

In many cases, the rules of the workplace are very similar to those of the officialdom, and they also need to stand in line.

Of course, he will not tell Governor Marlowe these words, because it is not important, what is important is how he submits the certificate next.

1. The "Rover Technology Consortium" came to sell minerals.

2. The transaction location was not selected as the "Sky Garden", instead it was arranged in "Alkasi" under the jurisdiction of the Phoenix Empire.

3. After Tang Fang arrived at "Cui Fanke", "Ihe Industrial", "Eco-Sowopner Group", "Ward Heavy Industries" and several government-backed mineral trading companies sneaked to "Alkasi" Come a lot of minerals.

Four; Depot No. 07 changed, Horace, Benedict, Boyle and a large number of armed personnel died abnormally.

5. Tang Fang accused the "Rover Technology Consortium" and "Iga Industry", "World Heavy Industries" and other Star Alliance military industrial companies for designing and framing him, and throwing out the comments that the Star Alliance Council was behind the manipulation.

6. Corey Christian, the former manager of the "Babylon" branch of the "Rover Technology Consortium", admitted that this was a conspiracy involving numerous military industrial companies in the Star Alliance, and that it was the so-called Star Alliance Standing Councillor O'Neill National events are an excuse. He used the public to report privately, deliberately suppressed "Morning Star Casting", and planned to transfer the charges to the "Alkasi" government.

Seven; Field inspection report of the Phoenix Empire.

Even if there is no direct evidence that the Star Alliance government is involved in this matter. With the above 7 points, the Phoenix Empire also has enough reasons to question the Star Alliance government.

You must know that the social system of the Star Alliance is not like a monarchy. Citizens are bright-eyed and smart, so they naturally want to know what's going on, and what's hidden behind them.

Once such a political scandal emerges, once the incident becomes serious, one can imagine the pressure faced by the high-level government, and even the parliament may face reorganization.

The Star Alliance government regards the "Babylon" convention as nothing and plots to frame foreign investors. Who can afford such a crime?

In particular, the situation in Tianchao is changing, people are disturbed, countries are in danger, and the "Babylonian economy" is frustrated. If such an unconstitutional scandal breaks out, it will have far-reaching impact and deep harm.

These were all thoughts by Old Corey for a moment. He couldn't help himself to dipping his sleeves in the cold sweat from the temples. Looking at the man bathing in a golden patch on the other side, he swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

The temperature in the room is not high, but his heart is getting hotter. It is not eagerness, nor enthusiasm, but hot, stuffy, and irritating heat.

No wonder Marlowe Smith is known as the most promising man in the "Pasqueflower" family. No wonder the reincarnation of the Divine Phoenix, the great sage of heaven, the Holy Emperor, Virginia Alexander, will send him to garrison "Alkesi". This man has a meticulous mind. His eyes are wicked, he is really a terrible guy, smarter than some old foxes in the council.

If Nicole Arnold is the economic ambassador of the Phoenix Empire. That Marlow Smith is the political and military ambassador, a true civil and military.

Marlowe didn't know that just a few words made Old Corey think so much in an instant. Although he noticed that the businessman's expression had become stiff as iron, he had no thoughts about it. Because just dealing with Captain Tang is enough to make him feel bad.

In fact, he also has a "if body" in his heart-if Corey Christian is an old fox, then talk to him, and the guy who doesn't show any timidity is a rejuvenated fox like a thousand years old. It's also tricky, making people headache tight.

He looked at Tang Fang and said for the second time: "Talk about your terms."

Tang Fang stood up from the sofa, walked to the bright French window, and said as he walked: "Don't talk about the conditions, I want to ask the Lord Earl a word."

Marlow turned his head, looked at the back figure that seemed to melt into the sunlight and said, "Ask."

"You probably don't have evidence in your hand. After all, the monitoring equipment in the warehouse has been damaged, and Horace's several people have returned to their hearts. The confession of one person in Old Corey is too thin, and it is easy to be confused by the Star Alliance government's countermeasures. "

Tang Fang looked at the low ridge in the distance, with pines and cypresses on it.

He seemed to be fascinated by the beauty. After a dozen breaths, he said: "I can provide you with direct evidence."

"What!" Marlowe Smith seemed to suddenly loosen the spring after it was tightened. He suddenly stood up from the sofa, looked at the dazzling figure behind the desk, and said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

If the accusation and testimony alone are involved, the Star Alliance government will fall into a quagmire of public opinion, but if the crisis is timely and handled properly, it will not hurt your nerves, but if there is direct evidence that the Star Alliance government is behind the incident , Then everything is different, the Star Alliance must make a positive statement.

This also means that Tang Fang and the Star Alliance government are completely torn apart. This is not what a businessman should do.

The opposite old Corey also got up from the sofa. He didn't think so much, but was very surprised why Tang Fang had direct evidence.

Marlowe might think that he collected them during the process of being a spy in the "Rover Technology Consortium", but he knew that was not the case at all.

Tang Fang retracted his gaze from the distance, turned around and walked back to the original place to sit down, and said calmly, "Do you think it is necessary for me and the Star Alliance government to keep a bit of face?"

"Knowing that I was going to buy minerals, they launched their forces to drive up prices and drew me money from the bottom of the pot. Knowing that I was going to form a'Morning Star Casting', I was very tight, but they did not hesitate to withdraw 40 billion from my account; I, even the only ally, the "Wanderer Technology Consortium", turned against me under the influence of the government."

"Since they treat me like this, why don't you need to give them a face? It's better to tear it apart. Everyone, you come and I have done a game to see who is better at it, and express the resentment and anger that have been accumulated for a long time. , Unrest."

Marlowe stared at his face tightly, and for a full minute, he burst into laughter: "Okay, arrogant and dry, he is a man of great things!"

Captain Tang was right. The Star Alliance government forced him so much, and this time it almost took his life. Since he couldn't bear it, he didn't need to bear it anymore and simply caused the Star Alliance political arena to shake. (To be continued)
