83: A mysterious organization is visiting?!
Chapter 83: Mysterious Organization Visits?! Take Your Resources From My Home!
Curled up in a corner of the street, the black and white demons felt a hint of chill even in the height of summer.
Parker pulled out their entire net worth from his pocket: a ten-usd bill and a scattering of five-usd and one-usd bills.
Then he said helplessly, “We only have fifty usd left. That’s not enough for us to eat for a few days.”
“Buller, if this continues, we’ll starve to death here sooner or later.”
A single fast-food meal here costs six or seven usd, and even if they only eat the cheapest food and drink the cheapest water, they still need to spend at least twenty-five usd per day.
The jobs available in this slum were pitifully few. Earning ten or twenty usd a day was considered lucky; often, they wouldn't get a single job all day.
In extreme cases where they couldn't find work, this money would only last them three days, so Parker hadn't even bought his favorite cola to drink these past few days.
His meaning was clear: if they really couldn't make a living in this small city, they might as well go to another city to continue struggling.
After all, a living person cannot be suffocated by urine, nor can he be starved to death.
“Just a few more days.” Buller shook his head, “At least wait until that ‘strange uncle’ appears, and we get two thousand usd before leaving. Fifty usd isn’t enough to get out of the Bay Area.”
“Keep reading. You won’t feel hungry when you read.”
After he finished speaking, he picked up a red-covered book and continued reading.
If it really came down to it, Buller planned to sell the last valuable item he owned.
Although it was his mother’s last relic, he was about to starve to death, so he couldn't care about relics. He would just redeem it when he had money again.
A while later.
Parker couldn't calm down to read at all and muttered to himself, “I wish I were the Little Match Girl… How good would that be…”
“It’s not cold now, is it? Are you hallucinating from hunger?” Buller frowned.
“No, you misunderstood.” Parker stared into his eyes and said seriously, “I want everyone to see my deceased grandmother.”
Hearing this, Buller’s face turned black with anger, “Read your book properly.”
What dark fairy tale? Are you the Little Nuke Girl?
Just then.
Suddenly, there was a sound of somewhat messy footsteps from outside the alley.
Hearing the commotion, they knew who it was without a second thought—it was definitely that local gang!
“Looks like we have to move again.”
Buller’s expression was solemn.
This was the most backward and desolate area in the entire Livermore, and if they weren't even spared here, it meant that the entire small city had been divided up by several gangs. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so 'desperate'.
“Damn it, this is their territory too?” Parker stood up, his face full of shock.
Goodness, this was a slum. Usually, even rats would donate two copper coins and leave crying.
Why are you dividing up territory here? Is the economic situation really that bad? Even your gangs are starting to 'inner roll'?
“That strange uncle, no matter what you want us to do…”
“Please appear quickly!” Parker muttered to himself as he ran.
He had never been a proponent of capitalism before, but now he didn't mind becoming a 'socialist warrior.'
Even death would be better than starving to death so indignantly.
While the two 'Texas tough guys' were fleeing in a hurry.
On the other side, the Da Xia Academy of Sciences' top-secret external contact room.
Looking at the reply email displayed on the screen, Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing fell into a long period of stunned silence.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, until the tea on the table had completely cooled.
“Old Zhang, I didn’t hear wrong, did I?”
Zheng Lixing finally came back to his senses, “Does this ‘Mysterious Organization’ mean that they plan to send someone in person to collect the one billion usd after a while?”
“It seems they do mean that.” Zhang Yuli clenched his fist, “This is great.”
The excitement on their faces was already overflowing.
If members of this ‘Mysterious Organization’ came to Da Xia, wouldn't they be able to get in touch with this Mysterious Organization?
Even if it wasn't to investigate the specific origins of this organization, at least they could try to win them over and strengthen the cooperation between the two sides.
Of course, there was also a strong sense of curiosity in their hearts: what would the members of this ‘Mysterious Organization’ look like?
An unknown entity capable of acquiring the complete F35 and F22 fighter jet technology from, and even the B-2 and Japan's national treasure-level industrial machine tool technology.
Even if the members of the ‘Mysterious Organization’ had three heads and six arms, Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing would only say, “Reasonable!”
As long as they didn't fly down on clouds, wouldn't that already be quite reasonable?
After all, they called themselves a ‘Mysterious Organization,’ but the outrageous things they did could only be achieved by a ‘Divine Organization.’
Zheng Lixing pondered, “Since members of this ‘Mysterious Organization’ are coming to Da Xia, we need to prepare well.”
What level of member from the ‘Mysterious Organization’ would be coming?
And what kind of reception specifications should this secret reception follow? Should it be grand or low-key? Should the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of Defense handle the Docking?
All these related questions needed to be handled by their ‘Special Secret Team.’
“You reminded me, we should indeed prepare various contingency plans in advance…”
Zhang Yuli paced back and forth in the room, “And they didn’t say when they would come, which means they might arrive in Da Xia very soon. We might not have much time left.”
“Why are you so nervous?” Zheng Lixing couldn’t help but laugh at his appearance.
However.
Zhang Yuli glanced at him, “You’re not much better, are you?”
Only to see Zheng Lixing’s entire leg trembling uncontrollably, clearly in an extremely excited state.
Not only him, but Zhang Yuli also felt that his mood at this moment was probably even more nervous than when he got married and had children.
They were about to have their first close contact with this ‘Mysterious Organization.’ If there was a single mistake in this matter, it would push the relationship between the two into an abyss. How could he not be nervous?
For Da Xia, the importance of the Mysterious Organization might far exceed that of any other diplomatic nation. No mistakes could be made.
Furthermore, they could roughly glimpse who these mysterious beings were. Did they only possess immense power in, or did a small number of members also reside in Da Xia?
This was a huge mystery that constantly swirled in his mind.
It wasn’t until a long while later that both of them returned to their usual calm state of mind.
Just then.
Suddenly.
Footsteps came from outside the door. After several unlocking procedures, Liu Zhixue walked in.
“Director, General Zheng, the Persian ambassador has invited you to a diplomatic dinner tonight… saying there are urgent matters to discuss.”
Hearing this, the two exchanged glances, and their calm emotions once again stirred.
They both guessed the main purpose of the Persian ambassador’s dinner invitation.
“It seems we have another order?” Zheng Lixing stroked his beard and said cheerfully.
Since the last purchase of Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, the Persian ambassador had not actively contacted their Xia Academy of Sciences for a long time.
“It’s even faster than I expected. I thought they would contact us half a month later, but I didn’t expect them to come to buy Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles so quickly.” Zhang Yuli wasn't surprised at all.
This contact after several weeks clearly indicated that all the Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the Gaza Strip had been completely expended.
Zheng Lixing said faintly, “It seems we gave too little of the Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle profits to the ‘Mysterious Organization’.”
Since this weapon equipment was so effective, how could Palestine not ask Persia to continue purchasing a large quantity?
By the time the ‘Mysterious Organization’ was truly compensated, the sales of Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles would be far more than ten million usd.
In the evening.
A black vehicle with an embassy license plate stopped at the entrance of the National Guesthouse.
Ambassador Ahmad Hassan, dressed in formal attire, walked in hastily.
Although he was the initiator of the dinner, for the sake of the ‘secrecy’ principle of this discussion, the diplomatic narrative remained that the Persian Consulate General was invited by the Da Xia Ministry of Foreign Affairs to attend a banquet.
Entering the banquet hall, he saw several familiar faces.
“Director Zhang, Academician Zheng, and Factory Director Li, I didn’t expect you to be here too.”
Ahmad Hassan shook hands with them and said politely.
“I am the protagonist of this banquet, how could I not be present?” Li Yunshan, Factory Director put on a smile.
As the factory director of the 732 Military Factory, how could he not participate in something like Persia wanting to buy Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles?
Zhang Yuli led him to his seat, “Ambassador Hassan, the banquet today has many authentic Persian dishes.”
“You must see if it suits your taste and how good the chef’s skills are.”
Ahmad Hassan smiled, “Then I must have a good taste.”
After a few bites of food and some pleasantries.
“I think I’ll just get straight to the point. This time, Persia hopes to purchase a large quantity of the previous Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.”
Ahmad Hassan put down his cutlery and looked at the people in front of him, “The effect of this weapon is very good and is very helpful for the situation in the Middle East.”
“You’ll have to ask Factory Director Li about that. We’re not very clear about the production capacity of the military factory.” Zhang Yuli waved his hand with a smile.
How could he, the Director of the Xia Academy of Sciences, be as good at bluffing as Li Yunshan, Factory Director?
Meeting Ahmad Hassan’s eager gaze.
“May I ask, how many Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles does Persia intend to purchase this time?” Li Yunshan, Factory Director replied, feigning confusion.
“At least one hundred thousand units, and the more, the better!”
“One hundred thousand units, that’s not a problem. It’s just, our military factory… you know.” Li Yunshan, Factory Director sighed, “The production capacity is really insufficient. We can’t produce one hundred thousand Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in a short time.”
He didn’t need hints from Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing to know what he should say.
Don't ask, the answer is insufficient production capacity.
“Then what do you propose?” Ahmad Hassan’s face was very calm; he had already guessed that Da Xia would say this.
“For two thousand five hundred usd per Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, we can produce one hundred thousand units in one month and deliver them to Persia.” Li Yunshan, Factory Director quoted a staggering figure.
If they wanted to expand production capacity, they could only pay more!
Pay more, and ensure the task is completed on time and as required.
Ahmad Hassan gritted his teeth and made up his mind, “Two thousand one hundred usd, and we must receive fifty thousand Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles within one week.”
“Payment will still be made with resources!”
Persia didn’t have usd, but they had plenty of resources.
Hurry up and send your trucks to our Persia, and take your resources from my home.
“Happy cooperation!” Li Yunshan, Factory Director extended his hand with a smile.
This time, they truly made a huge profit. What military weapons was the 732 Military Factory still selling?
Selling military weapons was not as profitable as selling Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles!
