Chapter 297 - True Purpose
Everyone gathered around the dragon-slaying pilot at the 911 Air Service Base to pry a corner, and the calmer ones gave some hints, while the more impatient ones directly offered a price with high salary and benefits. However, Chen Fei, who accepted everyone's business cards, refused clearly and directly, leaving no room for ambiguity or reverie.
If you continue to break up, you will be subject to chaos. If you engage in ambiguity at this time, once it reaches the ears of the boss, the guy who is not firm will be waiting for his shoes!
Chen Fei will not do this stupid behavior of looking for trouble and causing trouble for himself.
The crowd surrounding him gradually dispersed, and Chen Fei took the initiative to say hello to Zuo Gengming, who was still waiting not far away.
"Let's go to barbecue and make skewers together!"
We have nothing to do anyway. Since the other party doesn't have much utilitarianism, we just want to make friends by the way.
“Okay!”
Zuo Gengming nodded with understanding and followed.
Since it’s not dinner time yet, there are not many people at the barbecue stall. The charcoal fire is filled with green smoke, and there are all kinds of grilled items on skewers. You can do it yourself or ask a professional chef.
Chen Fei ordered two tomahawk steaks and asked the barbecue chef to do it for him. The old Chen family couldn't afford such expensive food. If he tried to show off himself, he would only waste such good beef.
“Thank you, I don’t want steak.”
Zuo Gengming took the plate and got himself a few chicken wing midsections, prawns, gluten skewers, leek skewers and rice cake skewers. Filling your stomach is secondary, the main thing is to taste it.
A tomahawk steak weighs at least two kilograms, which is obviously too much for him.
“No, both steaks are mine, I have a better appetite.”
Since arriving at the 911 aircrew base, Chen Fei's appetite has been on the rise and he has become quite able to eat. However, his strength has also increased dramatically. He is not surprised. It is normal to be able to eat and exert strength. ?
If you just eat but have no energy, you may have to see a doctor to find out if something is wrong.
The two tomahawk steaks are grilled first, and if there are not enough, more will be added.
“Eh! It’s a blessing to be able to eat!”
Zuo Gengming was indeed a clever boy. He was stunned for a moment and quickly resolved his embarrassment.
"Can you tell me where Springfield Defense is from?"
Chen Fei took out the other party's business card again. It was his first time dealing with him, and he had just received too many business cards. If he didn't review them, he really couldn't remember them. live.
"Haha, it's not a big place. In North America, there are two air service bases in the Rocky Mountains. They belong to local patrols."
Zuo Gengming and Chen Fei found a small barbecue stall. Son, start putting chicken wings and the like on the charcoal fire.
Unlike Chen Fei who prepared two hard goods for himself as soon as he arrived, Zuo Gengming also picked some skewers for Chen Fei. The grill stall had all kinds of seasonings, so he could do it himself and have enough food and clothing.
"Two air service bases, good guys, they are quite powerful!"
Chen Fei found that he had really underestimated the other party. Hana BOSS also spent a lot of effort on the boss and went through a corporate war. , and finally managed to get to the 911 air service base.
Apocalypse Defense Group, which had lost an air support base for nothing, was naturally furious. Even though it had reached an internal deal with Hana Gagel, it still gave the newly established Jiu Defense Company a lot of money. wear.
Zuo Gengming smiled and said modestly: "Haha, I started a partnership with a few college classmates. It is considered a personal business."
The tone of words, expressions and demeanor have been completely Westernized, but the character still retains the Eastern tradition, restrained and not ostentatious.
The corners of Chen Fei's mouth twitched, look, look, it's really annoying to compare people to each other.
As soon as I graduated, I was assigned to fight against the killing dragon in the inhospitable mountainous area of Hindu Kush. I actually contracted more than one air service base in partnership with my classmates.
He asked tentatively: "Is there a mine at home?"
"Yes! Rare earth mine!"
Zuo Gengming nodded seriously.
This is a real mine, and it is a very valuable rare earth mine. The giant gold dragon will drool after hearing it.
"Then what kind of military contracting is there? Isn't mining good?"
It was Chen Fei who also wanted to go mining. Rare earths are expensive. If it can be used for extraction and purification, I'm afraid it will make huge profits.
As an economics undergraduate, you can naturally understand that as a catalyst for the economy, the value and significance of rare earth elements far exceed that of gold and silver, and they are enough to fundamentally promote the economic level of a country.
Only by possessing the sovereignty of rare earth resources can we become a powerful sovereign.
Without rare earths, no matter how vast the territory and how large the population, it is still a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. Once it encounters the black swan phenomenon, it will be knocked back to its original shape sooner or later.
“Since the world is so big, I just want to have a go and start a business with my classmates. Maybe it can become a lifelong career.”
Zuo Gengming quickly baked the tiger skin. Green peppers and leeks were handed to Chen Fei, and now it turned into his Versailles scene, saying the most awesome things in the most ordinary tone.
Chen Fei numbly took the skewers and murmured to himself: "If your business fails, you have to go back and inherit the family business."
Zuo Gengming said seriously: "Indeed That’s right!”
He didn't mean to be pretentious at all, but it was the truth.
Literature and art originate from life, but it is not absolute that it is higher than life. What is written in novels is often more exaggerated in reality.
Rich people have more resources and channels, and can make all kinds of attempts as they like. It doesn’t matter even if they fail, they can just get up from where they fell. For ordinary people, falling once often means that He fell to his death directly, and there was no chance for a second comeback. It came from other sources of help.
"A while ago, you heard about the giant mutant, right?"
Zuo Gengming watched Chen Fei feast on his "work" and opened a new one by the way. topic.
Chen Fei finished eating the roasted leeks in one gulp and asked tentatively: "Is that the tall one with long legs? Like a skewer of money?"
If you don't bring "qian skewer", the first half of the sentence will sound like He was referring to a girl with long legs and a model look.
“Yes, yes, this is the big guy who jumped out of nowhere and caused all the air service bases in North America to have their 5% performance bonus deducted for the month. It is an unreasonable disaster.”
When Zuo Gengming mentioned this, he suddenly felt that the kebabs in his hands no longer smelled good.
“So miserable?”
Chen Fei was stunned.
The Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee should not be so stingy!
Is it such a small difference? Not bad!
“It’s so miserable!”
Zuo Gengming nodded vigorously, let alone 5%, even 1% is still a lot of money.
"Damn! You should have known it for me!"
Chen Fei also suddenly felt that the kebabs in his hands no longer tasted good.
He and Xiao Jiu fought to the death and severely injured the giant mutant, creating an opportunity for the North American Federation's Aerial Knight to launch a fatal blow.
And in the end, I didn’t even catch a big buck, and the whole process was in vain.
What is even more annoying is that the North American Federation is not only ungrateful, but also stuck its F-22 "Raptor" and prohibits this outdated jet from leaving the country.
If I had known, I would have just let that big guy kill me with blood for thousands of miles. I am not a dead Taoist friend, but I am not a poor Taoist. I didn't get half a big buck, so I don't care about the hearts of my international friends.
But old David may cry to death. The little money he used to support his old age may be wiped out, all reduced to nothing.
“Speaking of which, you seem to have received training from Old David.”
Old David’s reputation is no stranger in the circle of military contractors. Zuo Gengming is smart. People, there is something behind the words.
“I was there.”
Smart people sometimes only need a hint to speak, and Chen Fei can certainly understand what the other person means.
Zuo Gengming suddenly made a bold guess and said: "It's not actually Old David, is it?"
Chen Fei: "Haha!"
Zuo Gengming Ming: "Haha!"
The two of them have a tacit understanding of each other. They just need to see through it without saying it. They know it in their hearts.
At this moment, two tomahawk steaks were grilled, cut into pieces, added with some side dishes, and delivered.
“It smells so good, Lao Zuo, don’t you try a piece?”
Smelling the smell of roast beef mixed with black pepper, rosemary and green lemon, Chen Fei couldn’t help but swell his index finger It seems that I have made the right choice. The skills of the barbecue chef are also very good. The outside is charred and the inside is tender. The pink meat exposed after being divided has no blood seeping out. The overflowing fat all comes from the fat between the red meat.
“Uh, okay!”
Zuo Gengming picked up a chopstick, chewed it a few times, nodded and said, “The roasting temperature is just right.”
It is difficult to control the heat of a large piece of meat with ribs that starts with two fingers. Most people simply cannot cook a tomahawk steak.
After tasting only one piece, Zuo Gengming stopped and did not respond to Chen Fei’s prompts to pick up a second piece. He knew how to exercise moderation and did not overly pursue his appetite. Not only did his family have mines, but also There is a very good quality education.
After putting down his chopsticks, he said: "Some strange mutants have appeared near the 130 Air Service Base under Springfield Defense. If you are not busy here, can you help me come over and take a look? The labor fee is easy to negotiate. . ”
After going around in circles for a long time, Zuo Gengming finally explained his purpose.
“You have to talk to our boss about borrowing people, and the same goes for labor fees.”
The beef cut by the barbecue chef was of a suitable size. Chen Fei took one bite and it almost melted in his mouth. He ate so much that he turned his head and gave the chef a thumbs up.
"Sir, the craftsmanship is quite good, please give me another six yuan!"
The barbecue chef smiled slightly and responded with an OK gesture. It is fate for a good chef to meet a good diner. blessing.
Otherwise, if a dog chews peonies, such good ingredients will be wasted.
Zuo Gengming said in surprise: "Can we talk?"
He even prepared himself for rejection.
"It's just making money, it's not shabby!"
Chen Fei killed a tomahawk in a blink of an eye, and gnawed the ribs cleanly, eating meat and bones, it's not shabby.
Borrowing people and poaching people are two different things. Hana BOSS, who has been spending money on Jiu Defense and 911 Air Service Base, naturally hopes to see some money back, otherwise the Gagar family’s little wealth There is simply no way to survive the defeat of only going out but not entering.
"By the way, where are your people? Are there none who can fight?"
Chen Fei suddenly stopped wolfing down the food and caught the extraneous information that Zuo Gengming didn't say clearly.
"They are all real rookies. It's okay to suppress them with firepower, but if it's more difficult, they won't be able to do it."
Zuo Gengming had a wry smile on his face.
He founded Springfield Defense with several classmates who had good relationships. Based in the inaccessible Rocky Mountains, two air service bases helped each other and worked together in the field. While training his own team, he relied on two This air support base accumulates more capital and lays the foundation for the expansion of Springfield Defense.
It’s just that the commanders and combatants are really bad at it. They can only use superscalar firepower and smash ammunition. Although the problem can be solved, the cost remains high, and the book profit is almost given to the logistics. Working for suppliers has not been a problem for a long time. At least a few partners can make money, otherwise there would be no point in establishing these two air service bases.
"It's really annoying!"
Chen Fei shook his head.
This is the bad thing about small military contractors. They are small companies and small businesses, so it is difficult to attract real talents to join them.
There is a group of fishermen in the team who paddle around all day long, so no wonder the other party would target Chen Fei.
A thousand troops are easy to gain, but a general is hard to find. The "Zhenxiang" combat squadron at the 911 Air Service Base is also considered one of the few elite combat squadrons in the industry. If one finally escapes, it is natural for him to be targeted.
