Chapter 2486 Friendly negotiation (I like to eat Kung Pao chicken the most)
Fang Zheng went to prepare for his work, and Ling did not put down her greetings and yelled to go out for fun like she did in other places, but locked herself in the room.
Teo and Tida had no choice. Of course they knew why Ling was acting abnormally, but this kind of thing... they said it was not bad? After all, this was someone else's personal family matter, and even if they were Ling's friends, it was hard to say anything.
Especially Teo, after all, she is also a member of the party who ran away from home, so it is impossible for her to slap Ling in the face.
So the three girls started petting their cats happily in the room.
How great is it to pet cats. You can forget your worries, be addicted to pleasure, and forget all worries when you take a breath... It really makes people obsessed with it and can't extricate themselves.
Just when the three girls were addicted to petting cats, Fang Zheng had already arrived at the city hall and met Mayor McDowell.
In fact, it is normal for Mayor McDowell to have questions about Fang Zheng's plan. After all, this is a big project, and the area of Starlight Tower is terrifying. Once the project fails, Close Bell will have big problems. So Mayor McDowell had to find Fang Zheng and ask clearly. Otherwise, he would still feel uneasy.
Fang Zheng is naturally not afraid of this. He thought that when he deceived investors, it was much more troublesome than now.
After all, people were smart in that era, so here... Fang Zheng just turned on the computer and showed Mayor McDowell the real picture of the Starlight Tower to solve all problems.
And in fact, the same is true. When the magnificent starlight tower appeared on the screen, Mayor McDowell's eyes were almost glaring.
"This...is this the Starlight Tower?"
"Yes, this is the star tower we are going to build."
Fang Zheng nodded, then reached out and pointed to the screen to explain. It included the design of each floor, how to use it, how many people are needed, the specific planning and operation process, the number and requirements of the personnel to be hired, and what effect will be brought after completion.
I have to say that listening to Fang Zheng's explanation and looking at the PPT in front of me, Mayor McDowell was also moved. Although Starlight Technology did give a lot of explanations before, it is meaningless to imagine just words from this aspect. For example, regarding the appearance design of Starlight Tower, only sketches and text descriptions were drawn on the design draft. In this case, it is difficult to imagine how it was built.
However, now, on the PPT in front of you, Mayor McDowell finally saw the true appearance of the Starlight Tower.
The entire Starlight Tower is in full astral spirit style. The golden brackets interact with the crystal-like azure walls, soaring straight into the sky, giving people the feeling that they are not even like a simple building, but more like some kind of solemnity and solemnity that exists on a higher level. Mayor McDowell can swear that he has never seen similar buildings anywhere in the continent of Semlia!
Even the highly developed Gusemlia civilization does not have such a building at all!
The entire starlight tower includes two parts: the foundation and the tower. Simply put, the three towers are combined to form a huge behemoth building. There are three entrances in total, corresponding to the different functional characteristics of the three towers. For example, the entrance to the central square is the hotel area, the entrance to Happy Street is the indoor playground area, and the entrance to the last back street is the entrance for staff.
The three towers are integrated and then connected from the hall to form one. The entire tower is equipped with six viewing elevators, six internal elevators, and three freight elevators. There is also a parking lot on the underground floor. Not only that, according to Fang Zheng's introduction, this tall building will be designed and built with the latest technology to ensure safety and will never be damaged by any accidents.
Poor Mayor McDowell is also an old man. Although he is always calm, he is slow to react when he is old. How could he be Fang Zheng's opponent who dares to cheat investment and players with a concept map in the PPT era? In fact, he was stunned when he first saw the pictures on the screen. Then he heard Fang Zheng explain it so professionally, and he poured all kinds of professional terms into his ears. The old man was completely confused and could not say anything except nodding.
Fang Zheng also blew up and said that Crossbeer's geographical location is so good, it is located between the Republic and the Empire, and there are dense personnel exchanges. Once the Starlight Tower is built, it will spread as quickly as possible. At that time, a large number of tourists come to the door, Crossbeer's GDP will definitely double again... The old man nodded repeatedly.
As a result, when Fang Zheng said goodbye and left, the old man was still sitting behind the desk and nodding. Those who didn't know thought he was Alzheimer's disease.
After successfully "persuading" Mayor McDowell, Fang Zheng came to IBC. It was lunch time, so IBC's Dita Kurois invited Fang Zheng to have lunch together. With free lunch, Fang Zheng naturally didn't eat it.
During the meal, the two sides finally had in-depth exchanges on this issue.
"I've heard of everything Starlight has done at Closebell, and I admire your courage very much."
Dita Kurois is a blond man who is almost middle-aged. He always smiles and looks like a successful entrepreneur. In fact, he is indeed a successful entrepreneur. After all, IBC is equivalent to a large bank on earth and has branches in various countries. As the president of IBC, Dita Kurois is the godfather of the financial industry in the mainland of Semlia.
“It has nothing to do with courage.”
While drinking the coffee in front of him, Fang Zheng changed the subject directly.
"Starlight Technology only formulates a plan after reasonable evaluation and thinking, and the most important thing is...we have money."
"But, I think you should understand that long-distance remittance is not an easy task, and it is very prone to all kinds of problems. If possible, I hope IBC can cooperate with Starlight Technology..."
"Oh, President Dita doesn't need to worry about this."
Fang Zheng smiled and took the napkin and wiped his hands.
"The security of the national financial industry is also the issue we consider. In fact, our Starlight Technology has obtained the official permission of the Kingdom of Liber and will also establish a dedicated financial network institution connected to the Kingdom of Liber to serve Liber citizens in Closebell."
“…………………What do you mean?”
Hearing this, President Dita's expression changed slightly, and Fang Zhengze cut a piece of steak indifferently and put it in his mouth.
"It's very simple. At present, our Starlight Technology is assisting the Kingdom of Liber to reform and build a nationwide networked information system, which means that we can transmit information through the network. In other words, any Liber citizen in Closebell can use his account in Liberbell to extract and store Mira."
“……………………………”
Hearing this, President Dita's expression finally changed slightly.
As the president of IBC, he certainly understood Fang Zheng's meaning. In fact, this system IBC is also used. However, as I said before, due to the scope of the guiding network, every place was a regional network. Just like IBC's headquarters in Close Bell, its network can only cover the entire Close Bell and cannot be connected with other countries' branches.
The reason why Close Bell was chosen is naturally because of its characteristic as a transit station. IBC can serve as an intermediary to transfer funds from the Empire and the Republic.
But if they can interact directly with the internal financial networks of other countries...
"Mr. Founder, IBC sincerely hopes to cooperate with Starlight Technology."
President Dita's expression also became serious.
"I know you have mastered this technology, and I think you know it too..."
"Feel sorry."
However, before President Dita finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Zheng.
"This is related to the country's financial security, and I can't make the decision. If you have this need, please discuss with Her Majesty the Queen or the Director of the Makadu Workshop. After all, our Starlight Technology is only cooperating with the system design and maintenance. In terms of network connection lines, it currently needs to be approved by the Kingdom of Liber to build."
The excuse of national security is really useful...
Facing Fang Zheng's answer, President Dita had nothing to say. He also understood that the dominance brought by new technologies was something that everyone wanted to strive for. No matter which country it was, except for a colony like Closebell, any sovereign state would want to control financial information in its own hands. With a network that can connect the whole country, the Kingdom of Liber will naturally not lose the initiative in this regard.
Otherwise, you will be the first one at that time, but it will become...well, everyone understands it.
After getting the news from Founder, President Dita was not in the mood to have a meal and hurriedly said goodbye. The Kingdom of Liber is like this, so the Empire and the Republic must have the same idea. IBC has always been able to become bigger and stronger by finance and banking. If I don’t find a way to face this wave, then IBC will probably not be far from Liangliang.
Looking at the back of President Dita's hurriedly leaving without any appetite, a smug smile flashed in Fang Zheng's eyes. You old boy still want to fool me on the pirate ship? If not... forget it, let your grasshopper jump around for a while after autumn.
Then we will settle the accounts together.
After drinking and eating, Fang Zheng patted his belly, and then went to the Rubacher Chamber of Commerce on the back street, intending to solve the last trouble.
Unfortunately, the meeting with President Malkney of Rubacher was not as pleasant as Mayor McDowell and President Dita.
"You are dreaming, don't even think about it!"
He patted the table in front of him vigorously, and the fat-headed and big-eared Mediterranean President Malkney stared at Fang Zheng sitting on the sofa opposite him.
"I don't care how much money you Starlight Technology has. I want you to know that Crossbeer is not something that a little kid like you can do whatever you want! He actually wants us Rubacher Chamber of Commerce to move away? I think you are impatient!"
“Haah………………”
Listening to President Malkney's roar, Fang Zheng sighed and took out his ears.
"So your answer is still rejected, right?"
"That's right! You don't go out and ask, what kind of existence is our Rubacher Chamber of Commerce in Closebell! You are one of you…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
However, before President Malkney finished speaking, Fang Zheng raised his head and stared at him. The next moment, Malkney immediately closed his mouth, his cheeks flushed and he opened his mouth as if he couldn't breathe.
"What did you do!"
Seeing this scene, the strong man standing behind Malkney roared and rushed towards Fang Zheng. Fang Zhengze didn't even look at him. He raised his right hand and slapped it gently, then the strong man flew backwards and hit the wall not far away without any movement.
Fang Zheng also stood up and walked slowly to Malkney.
"You...what do you want to do...do you know...behind me is..."
"Oh, I don't care about this."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his right hand—and then a moment later, a mollusk that looked like a snail-free back crawled out of his sleeve and landed on Malkney's smooth head with a "click". Feeling the strange and sticky touch, Malkney suddenly widened his eyes, and then he watched the mollusk go down his head and then drilled directly into his nose.
"Woo………………………………………!!”
Shortly after the monster got into his nose, Malkney suddenly began to tremble wildly. He opened his mouth wide and his eyes turned pale.
"What is this? My brain, something is chewing my brain...No, I don't remember, I don't remember..."
Soon, Malkney's voice gradually weakened, and then he fell to the ground with no movement. For a moment, the entire reception room was silent. Only when he pressed his ears on Malkney's smooth forehead could he hear the vague sound of "cracking" coming from inside, as if something was eating.
After a while, Malkney opened his eyes again, stood up respectfully, and lowered his head in front of Fang Zheng.
"dominate."
"You know what to do, I don't need to say more."
"Yes, I guarantee that the Lord will not be disappointed."
"Very good, then I'll leave it to you next."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, then turned around and left the Rubacher Chamber of Commerce leisurely.
Chapter completed!
