Chapter 487 10,000 Tons

Watermelon juice is really not on the table. As a man, he should drink it. If it is placed in other places, this kind of performance is really stupid and scumbag.

However, no matter whether it was Beard or Adam Oliver, no one dared to underestimate it, because the young man who poured the last drop of juice into his mouth was holding a knife in his hand. He planned to cut something from this strong beef cattle of the Star Alliance.

It may be worthless cow hair, or it may be delicious and chewy beef, or it may be other important parts, such as a cow. Whip.

"Four." Having said that, Tang Fang paused, narrowed his eyes, and said slowly, "I want 10,000 tons of zero elements!"

This sentence is like the first spring thunder after the New Year, and like a ladle of cold water thrown into a boiling oil pan.

Beard was silent, and so was Adam. It wasn't that they didn't want to talk, but that they didn't know what to say.

10,000 tons of zero elements? If it is converted into star coins according to the current "Babylon" market price, the amount will be as high as 1.1 trillion.

This is simply a lion opening his mouth and asking for prices.

Adam thought that Captain Tang would kill him mercilessly, but he didn't expect it to be so ruthless, 10,000 tons of zero elements! Fortunately, this kid can speak.

He is the president of the Star Alliance, not the Emperor of the Star Alliance, and his power is limited. Where can he get so many spare parts? It's not worth selling him as president.

"Are you joking?"

After a long time in the past, he just breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tang Fang as if he was looking at an idiot: "You don't know what social system the Star Alliance is, do you? Maybe I can do some small policy moves, but Such a share of Zero Su, I'm sorry...I can't do it."

The expression on Tang Fang's face did not change at all, he still squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "You can't do it. Those people behind you can do it, isn't there such big players as 'Wanderer Technology Consortium' and 'Iga Industry'?" Is it a military industrial enterprise? If a company spends 100 billion yuan, it may cause some bleeding, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones."

Adam was slightly taken aback. He originally thought that Captain Tang would have the idea of ​​making military supplies, but he didn't expect that he would plan on military enterprises such as "Rover Technology Consortium" and "Iga Industry".

But think about it. It is reasonable to have such a development. The suppression and exclusion of "Morning Star Casting" is not limited to the O'Neills and other politicians. In addition to the Blackthorn Shipbuilding Industry, several other large military enterprises and mining companies have also intervened. Captain Tang is now safe and sound. When they come back, they will naturally settle accounts with them.

"The minerals that Marlo Smith gave you...isn't that enough?"

"You also said that those are the minerals that Earl Marlowe gave me. What are you doing to the Star Alliance? If Mr. Adam bargains with such an excuse, then I can only say that you are not a good businessman."

Adam's hands clenched and loosened, then clenched and then let go, and he was clearly nervous.

In fact, the nervousness was secondary, and he was more helpless.

"It is true that I am the president of the Star Alliance, but it does not mean that those military enterprises must obey me. On the contrary, many times I have to act according to their faces. It is still the same sentence, this is the Star Alliance. It is not the Phoenix Empire, but I'm . . . no more than an agent."

Although there is an exaggeration in this sentence, it also explains his relationship with those big capitalists to a certain extent.

The doorbell rang again behind him. Beard got up and walked over, and took a large bowl with a lid from his confidant and put it in front of Tang.

Gently lifted the bowl cover, and a tempting fresh fragrance gushed out immediately.

Tom Yum Kung is the most famous dish in Thai cuisine. Although Tang Fang and Beard are the only diners, the quantity and quality of the dishes are even more sloppy.

Captain Tang didn't have the consciousness of being a guest at all, picked up the silver spoon, lightly scooped up a mouthful of soup, put it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Can I think you are crying poor?"

Adam? Oliver is indeed crying poor, because he is really poor.

The trade between the Star Alliance government and enterprises such as the "Rover Technology Consortium" is generally in the field of weapons research and development and arms procurement. He can indeed benefit individual companies through some not-so-disgraceful means, but he is also extremely measured. Don't dare to go too far, after all, there are still Republicans watching.

Kiloton-level zero element value. It is enough for the sum of the profits of some military enterprises for several years, and there is nothing he can do if a big boss like Hirohiko Iga bites him to death and does not cooperate.

Perhaps it was the hot and sour soup that gave rise to understanding emotions. Tang Fang said: "Since 10,000 tons of zero elements are too much, then I will take a step back, 9,000 tons, it's fine."

After listening to the first half of the sentence, Adam Oliver had a look of anticipation in his eyes, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, that anticipation instantly turned into helplessness. Is there a difference between 10,000 tons and 9,000 tons? Captain Tang is playing tricks, right?

He said: "I can't afford 9,000 tons, because there is no reason to convince those people. You are also a businessman, and you should understand the nature of a businessman better than me."

Tang Fang thought for a while and said, "Do you think I will spare those people? After I bring you down, I will take them to court one by one."

These words were extremely blunt, but Adam Oliver didn't care too much. He smiled helplessly and said, "If I fail, they will not hesitate to put all the charges on the government. Even if you win this lawsuit I'm afraid it's been a long time, as for the compensation... how much do you think there will be?"

Tang Fang put down the spoon, pushed the bowl in front of Beard, and signaled that he would not eat. It was very impolite, but he didn't have the heart to worry about the feelings of the district chief, because what Adam Oliver said was very reasonable.

For a lawsuit like this that involves a wide range of subjects and the parties have a very high status, it is impossible to close the case within a few years of trial and investigation. He can't afford to wait, let alone wait.

"I won't make any more concessions."

He suddenly said something surprising: "If I'm not mistaken, there shouldn't be a deserted place behind Mr. President."

These words seem to have nothing to do with today's topic, but Adam Oliver's expression changed, and even the projected image trembled violently.

Tang Fang's guess was right, his backside was not deserted at all, on the contrary it was lively.

In a secret conference hall at the basement of the Reinhardt Palace, he sat in the middle with photographic equipment hanging above his head. 2 meters outside is a set of circular desks, enclosing him in the center of the hall.

Swinburne, chairman of World Heavy Industries, Hirohiko Iga, chairman of Iga Industry, Komodo, chairman of Wanderer Technology Consortium, Obadiah, chief director of Eco-Sowopuna Group...

These big capitalists at the top of the Star Alliance pyramid either came to the scene in person, or used projection technology to access the remote video communication system in the hall. Let's take part in this negotiation concerning the current situation of the Star Alliance.

When Adam Oliver was negotiating with Captain Tang, they were also discussing their views on this matter. And summarize the views on the electronic board in front of Mr. President for him to browse.

No one thought that Captain Tang's eyes were so poisonous, no, it was his mind that was so poisonous, he actually explained the surrounding environment of Mr. President. Although he didn't say it clearly, anyone could hear what he wanted to express in those words.

The hall became silent, and the electronic board in front of Adam Oliver seemed to be broken suddenly, and the picture was frozen.

certainly. Tang Fang couldn't see this scene. In fact, he didn't need to see this scene at all. He just needed to make sure that all his enemies were present.

"There is an idiom in China that is called playing hard to get... There is also a proverb that says that a child cannot be caught by a wolf. I don't know if you have heard it, but you must understand the meaning of these two sentences."

"What's the meaning?"

President Adam is a wise man, he understands the literal meaning, but does not understand the meaning behind these words. Although he really wanted to be the roundworm in Captain Tang's belly, but unfortunately he wasn't.

"What do you mean? You might think so."

Tang Fang looked at him and smiled, a little fake. But very brilliant: "What is the purpose of their attachment to you? Presumably Mr. President knows it well, but today, with your current situation, tsk tsk... I'm afraid I can't satisfy their appetite, but I can not only keep Your top-wearing flower feathers can still make them get what they want."

This sentence finished, about 5 seconds later, Adam? Oliver suddenly sat up from the sofa. Staring at him, he said, "You... what did you say?"

Tang Fang ignored him and wiped off the salad dressing from the corner of his mouth with a napkin. Repeat: "9,000 tons of zero elements."

Mr. President said: "I need to think about it."

Tang Fang shook his head: "You don't have time to think about it."

Adam frowned, puzzled. What do you mean by that? Is he even stingy with the time for others to think about it?

Tang Fang looked at Beard and said, "Turn on the TV, please switch the channel to abn."

The poor District Chief has become a full-time servant, but judging from his facial expressions and quick movements, he seems very happy to have such a job.

According to Captain Tang's instructions, he turned on a multimedia monitor facing Mr. President, and then adjusted to the abn channel with voice control mode.

abn is a large-scale media company in the Star Alliance. Its business scope involves various international and domestic political and commercial news consultations. It is a serious and professional media organization.

It is rumored that the boss of abn, Paladin Hegel, has a close relationship with the Republicans, which makes abn almost become the mouthpiece of the Republican forces. All along, a lot of negative news about the Liberal Party has been disclosed by abn.

When Beard turned the channel over, the screen was showing scenes of protesters from all over the country confronting heavily armed riot police on the streets.

Playing up hatred and inciting common people's emotions is a common tactic of Republicans. Beard was not surprised to see such a scene. He turned his head and cast a puzzled look at Tang Fang, feeling puzzled.

At this moment, the parade picture on the TV flashed away and changed to another video image.

Beard looked back and found that when he and Tang Fang walked out of "Venice", many reporters crowded the front hall to conduct interviews.

The reporter from ABN took a close-up shot of Tang Fang holding his right arm to deliberately avoid the crowd, and then played the two sentences that he expressed his helplessness twice in a row, and then the screen flashed and switched back to the anchor room.

After a few words of courtesy from the gentle and demure hostess, she suddenly dropped a blockbuster.

"According to reliable sources, Mr. Tang Fang's assassination at the pier yesterday was hired by Conor Carter, the nephew of Executive Councilor O'Neill.

"For this result, I believe everyone can guess something from the earlier incident of "Member O'Neill submitting his resignation to Congress". However, there is one thing that everyone may not know."

A trace of sternness appeared on the face of the hostess: "The bullet that injured Mr. Tang Fang's gun was made of radioactive materials."

After saying this, she turned her head and looked diagonally at a middle-aged Asian man in his 50s: "Mr. Liu Haizhou, I want to hear your opinion on this matter."

If he is a loyal viewer of abn TV station, he must be no stranger to him. Liu Haizhou, the exclusive political commentator of the Republican Party.

He flipped through the paper folder in his hand, and said: "I believe that some viewers in front of the TV are familiar with the element polonium, yes. It is a highly radioactive metal element. If this element What effect will it have if it is made into a bullet for assassination? I believe you don’t need me to explain it.”

"In yesterday's incident, although the bullet fired by the killer missed Mr. Tang Fang's heart, it injured his right arm. During the period from the pier to 'Venice', he was continuously exposed to high doses of radioactive elements. Alas... ..."

Liu Haizhou sighed, and didn't say the rest, but everyone understood what he wanted to express.

"Judging from the interview video in the lobby of the 'Venice' hotel that was broadcast just now. Mr. Tang Fang's right arm was injured, and combined with his last two sentences expressing helplessness, can we make such an assumption?"

"Mr. Tang Fang knows that his fate is not long, but he is worried about his relatives and friends. In order to ensure their safety, what will he do?"

"I'm afraid I can only choose to compromise in exchange for the living space of my companions. As he said, as the person in charge of a company, you must consider the livelihood of your employees. Sometimes... people can't just live for themselves. "

"..."

Beard found that he could no longer listen to it. The next conversation between Liu Haizhou and the female anchor came in from the left ear and out of the right ear, and he didn't take it to heart at all. He just stared blankly at the straight-backed Captain Tang on the seat behind him, like a badly weathered stone sculpture.

The scene shown on the TV just now was like a long sword of black ice that was threatening to be pierced into the heart, and the flesh and blood of the whole body were frozen.

This man... is really terrifying, he is not human at all!

From the return of "Alkassi" to today's talks, his every move, every word and deed is purposeful. These influences and results are superimposed and become an irreversible trend. Forcing Adam's government to move forward step by step according to his script, making people fall into his trap unknowingly.

Such a guy. It's simply a demon with a piercing head.

Because Adam Oliver was in "Heisenberg", his feelings were not as deep as Beard's. But that doesn't mean he can deal with it calmly.

He is not surprised that the Republican side was able to obtain the fact that "bullets have radiation", but he is surprised why Tang Fang can accurately use every favorable factor. Is this kind of calculation, this thought, really something that a person of his age can have?

"Mr. President, I don't need to say anything more? If I don't come forward to explain and let the impact of this report ferment, do you think your delaying strategy can continue? Maybe the Republicans will launch a fatal blow to you this afternoon. , You understand the reason why soldiers are expensive and fast... That's why I said that you don't have time to think about it."

Adam Oliver took a deep breath and said, "Give me five minutes to convince those people."

"Please."

Tang Fang got up and walked towards the door. Beard didn't know what he was going to do, so he hurried after him.

"Why are you following me...I'm going to pee."

"Then...that one...sprinkle together."

"You kind of stutter like that when you pee."

Beard found this sentence not funny at all, he couldn't laugh anyway.

Five minutes later, the two returned to the meeting room. The government staff had already cleaned up the leftovers on the desk, and turned on the air-conditioning system to inject fresh air into the room.

Beard returned Tang Fang to his original position, and turned on the remote video device again.

A cyan streamer flashed, and the projection of Adam Oliver appeared in front of the two of them.

Tang Fang didn't speak immediately, because he was not in a hurry. It should be Mr. President who was in a hurry.

"How can I be sure you're telling the truth and not a lie?"

Judging from this sentence, Adam should have persuaded those around him to confirm the feasibility of the matter just out of safety considerations.

After all, they are all businessmen, and they are far more cautious than ordinary people when it comes to transactions.

Tang Fang smiled and said, "First, my 'Morning Star Forging' still has a foothold in the Star Alliance. There is no need to completely break up with the Liberal Party. If you ignore the influence and use military power, I will be no match for me."

"Second, 9,000 tons of spare parts were transported to the "Sky Garden" warehouse for storage. If your conditions are not met, is it possible that Beard will let me transport them away?"

Adam Oliver was silent for a moment, and said: "Mobilizing 9,000 tons of zero elements is not an easy task. The zero elements stored by several large military enterprises and well-known mining companies in 'Babylon' add up to only about 5,000 tons. With the Republicans watching and not being able to tap the military stockpile, I'm going to need some time."

"One week, is it enough?"

Adam Oliver said, "Enough."

Tang Fang got up and walked towards the door. Halfway through, he suddenly turned around and said, "Tell the people behind you, don't use any more brains, otherwise, I won't be so easy to talk next time."

Adam froze when he heard the words, and forced a wry smile from the corner of his mouth. Because of the "kidnapping incident", the Star Alliance almost turned him upside down, who would dare to use his brain again.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if I move, I dare not move at this time. (to be continued)
