Chapter 208 The Hundred Billion Club
Li Pan opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, suddenly unable to remember who he was.
Then the memory penetrated into his skull like a tide with a stinging pain, as if ten thousand chisels were embedded in his skull, making his whole body tremble.
For some reason, traveling to Li Qingyun's side this time gave Li Pan a severe headache.
Unlike the previous seamless connection of opening and closing eyes, this time it really seemed like a remote connection to a different world, like another dream.
It was like watching a movie with great concentration, putting myself into the role of the protagonist, and following Li Qingyun, he experienced an adventure in the world of the Saha Demon.
But when the movie ended, as Li Qingyun flew back to Emei on the deer, Li Pan also woke up from the light curtain falling from the Xuanmen, and suddenly realized.
Regardless of whether he is dreaming or not, for Li Pan, who is standing here and living in this moment in this world, this plane, Li Qingyun's side is actually 'other people's lives', and he is just an audience.
The movie will eventually end and you have to go back to your own life.
It's time to wake up. Then he woke up.
So Li Pan slowly recovered from the tingling pain in his nerves, touched his neck, touched the virtual network link socket on the back of his neck, and looked at the mantis knives in both arms, and then realized that he was using It is the MT380 bionic prosthesis, which is soaked in LCL solution and undergoing a long space voyage.
Maybe the reason why my head hurts so much this time is because the main body is immersed in seclusion and practice, and this bionic body has no talent for practice. It is somewhat difficult to receive information from the world of immortality, such as signal loss, etc. It is a scientific device after all. Well...
From the looks of it, we still need to catch some vampires to make clones...
"Huh... where are we? Why is there no signal on QVN? Hello? Is anyone there? What time is it?"
Li breathed a long sigh of relief. Pan climbed out of the virtual cabin, put on formal clothes and walked into the lounge.
PONY, who was playing a single-player game wearing virtual glasses, jumped over happily,
"Boss, you're finally awake. We had an accident during our last jump and have been drifting in the vacuum for a hundred years."
Li Pan was shocked, " Nah, Nani——!!"
"Of course it's fake. Boss, why don't you usually watch movies?"
Li Pan, "..."
PONY scanned Li Pan's whole body and spat out a bunch of them from his mouth. Nutritional paste, energy body, electrolyte syrup, and then rolled up a small black box with the tentacle of the tool and handed it to Li Pan,
"We are still operating covertly. We must keep silent and cannot directly connect to the public network.
This is a military encrypted signal converter, just a Relay routing, using a prosthetic body to connect directly to the company's internal satellite communication line I built, the signal is disguised as the background noise of cosmic radiation, but the efficiency is relatively low, the network is a bit stuck, don't download movies randomly."
PONY After Duoduoduo finished speaking, he ran to the virtual cabin of the lounge to lie down and play games with the three-headed dogs.
Uh, okay, I slept for too long this time, and I feel like my memory is blank. Let’s take a look at it first.
So Li Pan walked to the lounge, ate an energy bar, and used a private link to connect to the encrypted communicator.
Military equipment must be safe rather than efficient. After waiting for three minutes to establish a link, Li Pan finally passed TheM company's authority authentication, accessed the personal database and prosthetic video backup, and confirmed the recent situation.
His last clear memory was that he went to meet the boss behind Heiyou, and was told by Maeda that it was confidential. Let’s take a quick look at the prosthetic video from then on, where we meet up with HAYABUSA and go to the refinery to get oil.
Naturally, in order to avoid being discovered and intercepted by hostile companies, encrypted communication was used throughout the process and the stealth system was activated to carry out covert operations.
But fortunately, everything went smoothly. Not only did he arrive at the refinery and pick up the goods, but he also jumped to a deep space coordinate to hand over the supply ship sent by the company's fleet and delivered the newly obtained black oil directly.
Now, in order to avoid directly jumping to expose the trading point, HAYABUSA is doing a short-term secret cruise, sailing into random coordinates in the vacuum, and then jumping back to the earth-moon domain.
Yes, when Li Pan woke up, the task was completed.
Ah, ah? Damn it? It's so smooth? Could it be that he hasn't woken up yet...
But it must be true that the money has arrived.
Money, the core rule of this world, the way of money...
Li Pan linked to his account and took a look.
The assets under his name surged by 300 billion.
Hiss...what's going on? When you woke up, 300 billion was credited to your account? Sure enough, I'm not awake yet? ? ?
I quickly took a few sips of the tasteless glucose electrolyte jelly to calm my shock. Li Pan adjusted the office auxiliary system to accounting mode and started settling accounts.
Well, it turns out that this monthly settlement has been completed, and now Li Pan has gloriously left the low-level stage of making several thousand yuan a month and joined the club of billionaires.
Needless to say, the total assets are 300 billion when one black oil task is completed. Add in the company's various fixed assets and uncollected accounts, and it is almost reaching the 400 billion threshold.
And is it specific to the callable capital flow?
In the personal account, there is no need to calculate the salary of 22,500 yuan from Monster Company and Panlong Construction.
There is no need to worry too much about the operating costs and employee wages of other companies. The fund flow of 703.4 million is transferred to the account every month, which is basically enough to cope with it. At least there is no need to worry about the three-headed dog armed to ask for wages.
And the 4 billion assets given by Yulia are still frozen, so don’t mention them.
Currently, Li Pan's biggest personal assets are rice, black oil and perfume from TheM.
Especially the portion of the perfume that was given to the company last time was worth 60 billion.
After deducting the final payment of 7 billion for subsequent perfumes, the total purchase price of the previous batch of 600 kilograms of black oil is 20 billion, as well as the purchase cost of one ton of black oil for the next batch and the emergency expansion of the factory, a total of 40 billion, paid in advance With a deposit of 20 billion, plus the 3 billion "Panlong Construction Customized Excavator Procurement Contract" signed with the Nimitz Intelligence Research Institute, Li Pan now has about 10 billion funds left in his account. .
As for Heiyou’s huge sum of 300 billion, it’s not cash.
After all, you are blind as a member of the tax bureau! Three hundred billion! Even if the company has great financial skills, it is difficult to clean it all at once. Even if it is cleaned, Li Pan can't afford it. Last month's 60 billion perfume money alone directly drained his account and made him appear on the tax bureau's list of large households. Okay.
So this time the company gave him an acceptance bill.
After all, at the level of a large company, due to the huge amounts involved, there are actually very few individual cash transactions. They usually involve payment and acceptance on account terms, or signing a contract to exchange assets, shares, and bonds.
The amount Li Pan received was the acceptance paid by other large companies to TheM. It was probably the monster purchase fee and patent fees. Looking at the electronic contract, it was signed for a three-month account period plus a six-month acceptance.
That is to say, it will be accepted by you after three months and can be cashed out after six months. Although it takes nine months to withdraw cash, it is also a bank guarantee and a formal and legal bill. 01 has been signed and sealed, and it is regarded as a legal asset in Li Pan's name.
And when I saw the agreement in my hand, it was actually signed two months ago. That is, after one month, you can use this contract to get a bank draft. Although you cannot withdraw cash immediately, it can also be used directly as collateral to pay off debts. Either trade it privately at a discount, or exchange it with the issuing company to purchase assets.
Hmm, so this publishing company is... Cool Baboon Group? Damn it, what can I exchange for Cool Baboon’s money order? A bunch of soda instead? ? How long do you have to drink this? I'll go!
But no matter what, the acceptances of Zhutian major companies still maintain their value. If you are really in urgent need of money, you can cash it out and sell it to a debt collector. Someone will definitely collect it at a 20% discount. So Li Pan is already a truly rich man.
Great!
Then Li Pan turned around and applied for an interest-free loan from the Veterans Fund.
Well, didn’t that guy Maeda send all his personal information? Then Li Pan suddenly discovered that his registered 'parents' turned out to be elite Silver Spike veterans of the Martian Marine Corps. They both died in special operations and received medals.
However, because the mission file was encrypted and not unsealed, Li Pan could only take out the lowest-level soldier's war orphan loan, which was 300,000 yuan. But now that he has the personnel code of the Martian Marine Corps and can also find the unit and confidential mission code, he can apply for a one-time interest-free loan of 20 million for the children of heroes.
No interest, it’s given to you for free, don’t take advantage of it, bastard, after all, 200 billion is not enough to feel real, 20 million is money!
Just as Li Pan was carefully studying his income and tax returns with the help of the office system, the company's encrypted communication application came through again!
Hey, are you good at delivering the goods just now? You’re really going to kill me!
Although he wanted to rebuke so loudly, the other party gave him too much...
So Li Pan answered the phone obediently, "Wai? What are your instructions?"
0113007's bald head flashed out, "General Manager, something happened." Li Pan We are all used to it, "Oh, what, my house was ransacked again? Or is another employee kneeling down?"
0113007, "The garden is at war."
"Garden? Oh, the garden..."
The office assistance system provided the key Word search, Le Jardin Garden Group, Zhutian’s top luxury goods group, Zhutian’s designated spice supplier.
Well, there shouldn’t be any need to explain more.
"But didn't they withdraw?"
And Li Pan remembered that the other party was one of the first five companies to withdraw from the bid. After all, it’s just the Holy Grail, where are the spices that are valuable?
0113007, "Yes, obviously the garden was carefully planned. They probably judged and evaluated that the bidding war in 0791 will become long-term, expand, and occupy the main energy of many companies. Therefore, on the other side of the universe, 0674 Earth
, They took the initiative to launch the 24th Spice War in an attempt to expel the power of Zhutian Petrochemical and OFEC. Other stakeholders also began to stand up and prepare to join the war. "
Oh, the Spice War. This is also like thunder.
Needless to say, the importance of spices. Only a very small number of parallel earths with special rules can produce this rare strategic resource that can greatly improve the capabilities of navigators. Whoever can hold the spices in their hands can become the star of the galaxy. overlord.
Today, the largest spice producing area, 067 Earth, is firmly in the hands of Huayuan Group. The spice export market, which accounts for more than 90% of Zhutian, can also use a considerable amount of extra production capacity to produce various perfumes.
The derivative parallel world of 067 also has some spice production capacity because of similar rules, but there is a clear gap in production capacity and quality. Therefore, under the pressure of the committee and the blows of many wars, the Garden still gave up those earths and let Spices mined for other companies and supplied to large companies for their own use will not be circulated to the markets of the heavens.
Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity, a pack of wolves will come to compete for the Garden's assets and the spice earth. The Garden will also use special discounts and rationed supplies to make close and distant friends, and to attract other company groups with non-overlapping businesses to form an offensive and defensive alliance.
Of course, once Huayuan sees an opportunity, he will not hesitate to launch a war to control all the spice sources in his own hands, or at least destroy the other party's spice refining factory and attack the other party's production capacity in order to maintain his absolute monopoly. status.
Wait, 0674? Li Pan suddenly understood, "Could it be..."
0113007 nodded, "General Manager 0674 of our company has made great contributions and convinced the Garden Group to join forces to launch a planetary unification war and open a new battlefield to respond to the actions of 0791. ."
Oh! 0674 That guy is also awesome! After all, the general manager of the company is not necessarily incompetent.
Well, yes, Monsters Inc. has been standing for so many years, there must be someone who can do things, and it is impossible not to have a reliable ally.
Why, you are only allowed to fight five against one, why don't we also find an ally to help us?
And spices are not much more important than the Holy Grail, spices.
Nowadays, the intelligent automation and systematization of ships has become too advanced. It has become so advanced that the power of the spear far exceeds that of the shield. Basically, whoever strikes first wins, and whoever is discovered dies.
A navigator blessed with spices can lead the fleet into the star sea, disappear in the night, and gain absolute battlefield advantage and initiative.
Without spices, the fleet can only rely on intelligent systems to sail on the established star track and become a target for concentrated fire.
Maybe your fleet of trillions and tens of trillions was all taken away by a round of strafing just because of a little difference in spices.
Even if the battle is evenly matched on paper, it is possible for the actual battle loss ratio to be 0 to tens of trillions. I am not kidding you.
Therefore, under the Safety Committee, there is also a special Spices Committee, which is used to allocate the annual spice purchase bidding. In this negotiation bidding, no company will take the initiative to withdraw.
However, Li Pan also saw that the impact of the bidding that started at 0791 was gradually affecting the entire world.
First there were the Holy Grail bids, then the SEC auctions, then the Whisperers, and now even the Spice Wars are back on.
The entire human civilization is falling into chaos and turmoil. Butterflies from other worlds flap their wings and set off storms that may destroy the entire multiverse. An all-out corporate war over the next council reorganization may already be imminent!
Great! beat! Beat these bastards to death!
What? Will ordinary people be affected? Please! Ordinary people’s lives have been ruined to the end, right? I just want to watch the company dog bite the dog! And maybe there will be new opportunities during the fight?
Chaos is the ladder of human progress.
If the company hadn't started fighting, Li Pan would still be living a hard life of punching in and squeezing the subway at work. How would he get this hundreds of billions of net worth?
0113007 interrupted Li Pan's thoughts,
"0791, you must know that the beginning of the Spice War means that the supply of spices and perfumes in the world will be cut off immediately, and the price of spices will soar exponentially. The company needs you to ensure the local supply of spices immediately. , and look for new sources of supply."
Li Pan thought about it. Even if there is a manager of the company in 0674, there are so many jumps from 0674 to 0791, and the spices are transported layer by layer without even a single leaf... But he
can any idea?
It's already past the settlement day, but there's still no news about the remaining twenty boxes of perfume, and Amakusa hasn't responded to his message... Oh?
Result 1 View historical messages.
Shibata Zhongshou said, "It's here, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here..." The
club customer service said, "Share the coordinates."
Li Pan quickly replied to him, "Okay! See you there. " Powder it!" Then he promised 007,
"Okay, no problem! Please rest assured, company! I'll cover the mere spices! But the price..."
0113007, "Of course it's at the market price, now it's more than 7 million per gram. It's gone up again."
Li Pan said, "Oh shit, those seven kilograms of goods are almost 500 billion. I love Free City...
Uh-huh? Wait! Then shouldn't my last batch be worth more? How many days will it take for delivery!?
Damn it’s only been a few days, and I’ve lost another 150 billion. Damn it!”
It felt like another 150 billion had been lost, and Li Pan couldn’t help but feel tired.
0113007, "...Anyway, manager, please make arrangements as soon as possible. If the fleet loses due to lack of spices, it will be useless no matter how much money you make." That's true, the price
fluctuations of spices are quite large, and they are strictly controlled in peacetime. Quantitative distribution, and during the war, there was a shortage of resources, and everything was sold at sky-high prices. That is to say, the sudden announcement of the war by the Garden Group caused the prices to rise instantly.
Moreover, not all local companies in 0791 are participating in the war. Maybe others will see that the current price is good and take out their own inventory to ship. Then the price will definitely fall back.
In short, don't worry about temporary gains and losses. If you have gains, just make as much as you can.
So Li Pan connected to Nana through the intranet and sent her the coordinates shared by the 'club customer service'.
Nana checked, "The coordinates are at Copernicus, and Chengzi has booked a ship slot. Should we sail there secretly or use the transportation system?"
Li Pan looked at the message and said,
"This was given to me four hours ago. If I don't go, I'm afraid it will be too late." Just jump to the coordinates, airdrop me down, you will circle around and become invisible on the track, and ask the three-headed dog to prepare for battle."
Nana, "Understood. Course adjustment, the whole ship is ready to jump..."
Biu got it. , very soon, we arrived at the Earth-Moon Universe Territory.
Copernicus, the largest colonial star city on the moon, is an alloy city with the city center built in the Copernicus impact crater. It is a completely modern high-tech city that extends to the entire moon, like a huge metal starfish adsorbed on the moon's surface.
This is one of the lairs where cosmic people from other worlds gather. It is also the headquarters and base camp of the Citizen Star Fleet, as well as various scientific research institutes and military bases. There are a large number of business offices of companies belonging to SEC and MICC gathered in the city. Those walking on the lunar surface are almost always either space troops or corporate dogs.
Without further ado, Li Pan lay down in the rescue capsule and was thrown directly from HAYABUSA. After receiving the signal from the rescue capsule, the system automatically connected to the lunar surface transportation system, automatically navigated and landed, and was directed to a nearby emergency rescue station. Traction storage.
Space rescue is one of the few citizen services these days that provides rescue first and then pays. After all, if you can go to space and have an independent rescue cabin, then by default you are a rich and powerful legal citizen. Of course, you must vigorously rescue taxpayers. .
Because Li Pan had never been to the moon before, this was the fastest way to go. Although he threw away a first aid cabin worth more than 100,000 yuan, it saved him the trouble of finding a storage location to park the ship and make additional registrations.
Moreover, because there are a lot of military and scientific research institutions on the moon, some restricted weapons are often transported for testing, and there is no strict quarantine policy like the earth. In addition, Li Pan is still an employee of TheM, so he can just find an interface to authenticate his company. With the prosthetic code, you can automatically apply for temporary access rights to the moon mask, which can be regarded as a benefit for company dogs.
Next, all you need to do is pay the emergency space rescue service fee of 200,000 yuan...
Oh! Paradise Group’s medical insurance can provide free space rescue services! LUCKY! It feels so good to have money!
