Chapter 122 Direction* Helping Hand
After leaving the exchange, Lu Chen was a little confused about where to go. Looking at the busy streets and crowded people, although the sky was so high, the sun was so brilliant, and the air was fresher than the forests on the earth, it was still the human world and the secular corner...
I thought it was just an ordinary encounter, but after seeing her true face, I was mentally prepared to face some pressure, but in the end my fate still gave me a big "surprise".
"This is the special benefit of time travel... The first businessman family and the top ten mining families, what's the matter... Oh, why is it so difficult to want a beautiful wife?" Although he refused Salim's help and acted easily, he was two big families after all. No matter how he was in trouble, he couldn't think of a good way, and he gradually became depressed.
Just as Lu Chen walked out of the range that could be seen on the exchange aimlessly, a cheesy businessman patted his shoulder beside him: "Little guy, why are you dejected? Let's go, give me a look and have a drink with me."
I am depressed. Is there many bad uncles here who have to find men when I get a chat? Or is it that the so-called misfortune never happens alone?
The fist was already clenched, and Lu Chen was about to turn around and punch him. The venting bag delivered to the door was not useless, but when he turned around, the fist was caught by the other party. The word "master" immediately jumped out of his head, and then he saw the other party saying depressedly: "It's true that I'm not suitable to wear this kind of clothes. I'll just stay in the nest in the future."
"Thieves~Uncle thief?" Seeing the other party's face, Lu Chen recognized him. This was the person he "driven" out to rely on when he first came to the academy.
"What a thief uncle? I'm a serious businessman now. I'm kind enough to ask you for a drink. I didn't expect you to beat me up. Fortunately, I didn't neglect to practice."
"Haha, I'm wrong. Find a quiet place and I'll treat you to wine that I can't drink outside."
"This is almost the same. I know a tavern that will not be disturbed, right nearby, follow me." As he said that, the thief took the lead and turned into the path next to him.
In an inconspicuous small restaurant, perhaps because it was not yet time and there was no customer, Lu Chen was drinking wine and talking with the thief uncle, mostly about their own development.
The people who went back to trouble Lord Litt spread the news into the army and directly pulled away a group of people, causing Papua City to lose one-third of the elite troops, but almost caused a mutiny in the army. No one among the citizens was willing to join the army anymore, so that Litt, who was originally planning to be robbed of taxes, had to give up all actions temporarily and live a life of tightening his waist.
As for the group of elites who left, the total number was nearly 1,000. Among them, more than 300 people who wanted to live a dull life joined the armed merchant group of the thief uncle. The rest formed the largest thief group near there, and the targets of the attack were caravans that were related to the Lord of Litt. Since they were all elites in Papua City, they were not ambiguous in this regard, which made the guy Litt worse. He sent troops to encircle and suppress them once, but there was no effect. The most funny thing was that some of the soldiers sent to encircle and suppress them, and some of them joined the thief group. Because everyone was familiar with each other, they could not even send a spy to sneak in.
The armed merchant group was even more smooth. It turned out that the thief had dug a mine and had a certain understanding of minerals. The most surprising thing was that the cunning mountain he originally occupied was a large mine. After receiving the funding of Lu Chen, he spent 8 million after returning to buy the deserted area, without even needing to handle some.
Then he familiarized himself with the few no one nearby thief nests, exchanged the collected property for some money and started construction. Moreover, the mine he bought was not a very high-value metal mine, but it was also an indispensable flint mine when building equipment. The most important thing is that the output of the entire mountain is very large.
Just now, at this moment, the nearby area was saturated due to his production, so he personally brought several trucks of flint to the royal city to trade, and by the way, we also came to see Lu Chen, the "little master".
"Little master? Haha, forget it, uncle thief, you all made the grades by yourself. You just owe me money, and you can just pay it back when you make money." Lu Chen said lightly. At first, he did want to establish his own power, but Sharon's affairs made him dare not get in touch with others anymore, because now he is barefoot, and at worst he will really take two beauties to the world, but once he put on his shoes, he can only watch her being pushed into someone else's arms.
"You are really addicted. I have a name, Toxen! When you made a plan for us, it was not like this." After drinking the wine, the thief said again: "I have heard about that little girl Luosha. The Sales family is afraid that others will not know about it, so they "secretly" spread the news in the industry."
Looking at Lu Chen, whose face became darker, Toxen continued: "I didn't expect that little girl is from the Sales family. It's really good to be able to get the No. 1 businessman in the Kingdom, but I offended everyone in the industry for this. I really don't know if the final result will be what they want."
Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately raised his head, as if he had grabbed something, but he could not imagine it for a moment.
Seeing Lu Chen's expression finally changed again, the thief uncle induced him: "Think about it, the first family was to provide arms for the kingdom. Now he has found a mineral supplier as his in-laws. In the past, some small suppliers had nothing to say, but what about those with large shares? If you are about to be abandoned by the old friend, what will you do? Moreover, the kingdom's military backup is not entirely occupied by the Skinner family. It can be said that their current patriarch has already put the entire family on a dead end in order to keep his seat."
Yes, the Skinner family's attempt to privatize suppliers is very beneficial on the surface. After all, monopoly is the most profitable, but they ignore that their products are not technical, and they will definitely be suppressed by joint efforts by the same industry. At that time, as long as someone takes the lead and simply press down the price, the move to make up for the losses will expand the capital gap even larger; and this is still good. If the enemy wants to completely lose money, just find someone to make some false order contracts, then they can be forced to death by compensation.
"Do you just have that time to wait?" Thinking of the destruction of the love rival's family, Lu Chen's mood recovered, but the problem in front of him still gave him a headache.
After discovering that Lu Chen's face had changed a few times, Toxen increased his weight again: "Every family has internal conflicts. We just need to let those who oppose the current patriarch of the Sales family know that what is in front of us is not interests, but a bottomless abyss, then things will be simple, right? But, little master, the Sales family is our business rival!"
Now Lu Chen smiled on his face: "Haha, a good way! Opponent? Humph, just change to an obedient person to be the patriarch. Thank you, come on, uncle thief." After thinking it through, he raised his wine glass and drank it all, and then said to himself: "The first merchant, kingdom military, a big cake. By the way, does anyone of you know how to cast it?"
Toxon was happy that this little master was regaining his spirit. As for "changing a patriarch", he only thought it was a joke, but Lu Chen added another sentence, which didn't sound like a joke, and the wine poured into his mouth immediately spit out.
"You~ You don't want to take this opportunity to replace the Skinner family?"
"Why not? The opportunity is good. The most important thing is that I'm tight recently and lacking money. Oh, by the way, yesterday I used six pots of wine to exchange for eight sets of silk equipment. You can try it, and I'll give it to you if I can wear it." Lu Chen, who was in a better mood, joked, but he really took out the silk equipment. Because it was so ugly, he definitely didn't want to destroy the image of the girls in his heart.
Staring at the silky items on the table in disbelief, Toxon almost crushed the wine glass in his hand, and once again felt that he couldn't see the little master in front of him: "I don't have money~ I got eight sets... Maybe he can really do it."
Lu Chen just asked casually, but in fact he already had a choice in his mind. He still needed a strong background to do such things. Parn's family should be fine. He stayed in his family for a while and cheated away the only doctor. Now it's time for him to do his best.
Then Lu Chen took out a ring from the small pocket he had just bought, and in front of the unknown uncle, he directly removed the contract and handed it over to the other party, asking him to find a magician to sign it again.
But before Toxon closed his chin, Lu Chen seemed to have thought of something again, took out three rings again, and after doing the same, he transferred the equipment left over from his space ring that was picked by the girls, and asked the thief to take it back to him to divide it.
As for the things inside, Lu Chen has checked them, they are all things that are not very valuable. Moreover, the space for these three rings is not very large, and the largest one is about two bedrooms and one living room.
It was not until Lu Chen asked him to try it, that Toxson woke up a little suddenly, and tried it one by one excitedly, without shy away from choosing the biggest one, and then put all the small things on his body in it.
But when he was loading two ores, he found that the little master was suddenly stunned, so he explained with a little embarrassment that the black one was the first flint mined in the mine, which he kept for the souvenir, and the other one was left behind after the burning of a large flint. I don’t know what it is for.
Lu Chen didn't know anything about the ore, but he knew about the "companimental mine". He took the ore from Toxen and asked how many silver metals there were. The answer he got was that he was afraid that this ore with unknown purpose would be considered adulterated, so he stayed, and when he came out, he could already fill the room.
He looked at the things in his hand carefully and even used his left eye. However, Lu Chen, who had no knowledge of minerals, could not see anything. In the end, he could only tell Toxen that he didn't know what it was, but this kind of companion mine was definitely useful. After returning, he collected them and brought them together next time he came. He also specially gave him a space ring, which was specially used for collection and shipment.
After receiving the fifth space ring, Toxon was still a little unacceptable to the fact that this little master could play with the main space ring at will. His eyes were extremely complicated and he looked at Lu Chen who was still checking the nameless ore, but his expression became even more respectful.
Lu Chen, who was observing the ore on the surface, actually took all this into consideration and was satisfied with what he had done.
Before today, he almost forgot these two people, and he deliberately did not want to think about their existence. In his heart, he looked at the world like playing games every day. When he was flirting with his beloved, he was the most comfortable and happy. When he was bored, he would go out to travel around the mountains, play in the water, and fight monsters... But such a simple request was completely destroyed not long ago. The only thing he was glad that they were just engaged but not married.
After saying goodbye to Toxson, Lu Chen walked alone towards home. The same sky and the same sunshine were still the streets with crowds. In different moods, he suddenly felt that this corner of another world was also very good, but the premise was still such a vulgar right and profit.
As noon approached, the college's vice president's office was performing a full martial arts movement. The vice president, Delake, was looking at the two students who were fighting with headaches. It was quite gratifying that the four-star intermediate Parn actually tied with Beaumont, who had grown to the five-star intermediate, with the power of his new learning. However, when he thought of the reason for the matter, he couldn't help but feel that something was stirring in his head.
