Chapter 68 Western Development
"Feast?"
Looking at the exquisite invitation in his hand, Zhou Li raised his eyebrows and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"Well, the old king's private invitation said I want to thank you."
Early in the morning, when Zhou Li and Aluma went to the surrounding supermarkets to wander around, an invitation was handed over to Lin Zi by the old king's guards, and after he came back.
“Private invitation?”
Zhou Li weighed the invitation in his hand and said with a little regret: "I thought Tarik had the custom of stuffing a lady card or a stack of banknotes into the invitation. It seems that this is too civilized and not a good thing."
"Your thoughts are so dirty that it makes people want to laugh."
Lin Zi was already used to Zhou Li's crazy words. After complaining, she continued to say to him: "The captain of the guard team also specifically told me that you could bring a few more people to the dinner, just treat it as he welcomes you, and you don't have to be too formal."
"Do you believe this?"
Opening the invitation and roughly scanning the content above, Zhou Li smiled, "Sure enough, this Helining is also an old fox."
"I certainly don't believe it."
Lin Zi shrugged, "The private dinner of Tarik's supreme leader, if it were Magnan or Yingnan, it would probably be serialized in the newspaper for three days and three nights. I guess Helinin designated that he had something to wait for us at the banquet."
"Well, and I probably won't be a little bit of this."
Zhou Li nodded, rubbed his jaw, and after thinking for a while, he said to A Zi, "Are you going?"
"It depends on you."
A Zi spread her hands and looked as if she was obedient. "We sisters and Ivy brothers and sisters are both your current business presence. If you take us there, we will probably be much more convenient for our next business activities. But I feel that this will make this banquet utilitarian and not very good."
"I think it's better for A Zi and I to stay."
At this time, Ain and Kaya, wearing a gothic dress, walked out of the room. Her long golden hair was tied into a ponytail, and her blue eyes under her thin-framed glasses were cold and elegant. Ain sat in front of Zhou Li and analyzed calmly:
"Mr. Zhou Li saved a prince and a princess at the airport. This favor is very important. A Zi is right. If we both appear at the banquet, we will definitely gain a lot of commercial convenience. But in this way, you will lose the initiative. They will spare no effort to help us pay off your favor debt. They will seize this opportunity and keep helping us give the green light in business. But the problem is that this time we came here not entirely for business, and it is not cost-effective to consume the favors they owe."
"Um…"
Zhou Li lowered his head and pondered for a moment when he heard this. After a while, he raised his head and said calmly: "A Zi, Ain, you go with me."
"I think it's not worth it. It would be better if this favor debt could be used on the plan for the black market in the future."
"fine."
Zhou Li smiled and said proudly: "I am thick-skinned. I will use this kind of debt of favors more, it doesn't matter."
It appeared, and the professional ability to speak extremely shameless words without any guilt!
"If that's the case, I'll be ready."
Ain, who was already familiar with Zhou Li's rhythm, nodded, admitted it as expected, and began to prepare.
"See what I do. After everyone else has gone, can I still lie down at home and shout about hunger?"
Looking at Zhou Li's gaze, A Zi spread her hands and said helplessly: "I'm going to prepare too. By the way, can my sister come?"
"The question is, does your sister want to go?"
As the former president of the largest chamber of commerce in the south of England, Lin Ling's ability is unquestionable. If Ain is proficient in calculations, Ai Wei is good at socializing, and A Zi is focused on the situation, Lin Ling is a collection of these three people, and her ability is not simply the effect of one plus one equals two. After all, she is almost from scratch and can achieve such a large size in England, which also proves her strength.
Since she found her sister and found that her sister had relied on the towering tree of the Brave, Lin Ling chose to hand over her resources to her to operate. Apart from her wanting Zhou Li to make greater use of those resources, the most important reason was that Lin Ling was a little tired. Except for Evan, no one knew her identity, and everyone thought she was the ruthless businessman Neil. She spent the whole twenty years in open and secret struggles.
Therefore, after handing over the resources to Zhou Li, Lin Ling began to choose to lie down. In addition to taking care of her sister and assisting her in handling the matters of the Chamber of Commerce, she almost no longer directly interferes in the business market. Therefore, Zhou Li asked not whether she would go or not, but whether she wanted to go.
"If I can, I want to go."
Together with Eluma, he brought the dishes to the table, took off his chef's hat and tidied his short purple hair. Lin Ling, who had a mature charm, smiled and said to Zhou Li: "I will visit in my private name. Evan and I are from the same school and are also old friends. He will not give this face to you."
"All right, come if you want."
Zhou Li didn't care about the number of people, after all, it was a good thing to open his mouth and eat. He looked at Don Quixote, who had just pulled Toreya to finish the morning exercise, and asked them, "Where are you?"
"ah?"
Don Quixote was stunned for a moment. She took off the towel and put it aside, and asked in confusion: "What are we going to do with you?"
"Hiss~"
Zhou Li took a breath and then asked in even more confusion: "Did you forget that you are the commander of my private legion??? If you don't protect me when I go out to attend a banquet, what if I'm beaten by a bad person?"
What bad guy? Are you?
Don Quixote looked at Zhou Li with a look of fear on his face, and felt speechless for a moment, but after getting along with each other over the years, she had also gotten used to Zhou Li's appearance and replied with a little helplessness: "I understand, I will go with you."
"Don't forget to pull the one beside you up."
Next to Don Quixote, a girl wearing a light white sports top spread her long hair like snow frost on her shoulders, and a slight sweat hung on her white neck, making her cheeks look whiter. However, Toreya's eyes were as red as jade, and her lips were rosy, like plum petals.
"Okay, I get it."
Toreya's voice was very cold, and it was hard to hear the feelings, but it was as crisp and pleasant as a silver bell. Since Zhou Li threw it to Don Quixote, the two of them were stupid and unhappy, but they got along very happily, and they all had some different changes. For example, Don Quixote began to get used to a just sneak attack, and Toreya began to become more humane.
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, tsk, why do these Tariks always find such a embarrassing time?"
After complaining about the typical three-point banquet of the Tariks, Zhou Li looked at the seated beside him, looked at his Emluma with a smile, and said to her: "Don't forget to go with me, a private banquet, don't be too formal."
“Okay~”
Like others, Eluma would guess Zhou Li's voiceover. Maybe she believed Zhou Li too much, but it was more likely that she was too lazy to guess at all. Therefore, Zhou Li always talked to her, saying that this banquet would not have to be too formal, and Eluma would never go in a dress.
"You guys are formal and give them the illusion that I want to use favors."
His eyes turned to Ain and his group, and Zhou Li said to them: "Don't refuse them, they give you green light, don't refuse them, you want them all, the more you want, the better. Anyway, in the end I will morally kidnap them with my own hands, and they can't escape."
I'll know.
Hearing this, A Zi said angrily and amusedly: "Are you not afraid of them repent? Is it a threat to you with national justice?"
"They are really a bit too bullying."
Zhou Li slapped the table and said indignantly: "Everyone can punish moral kidnapping. If they dare to do this, I will take revenge together."
"Aren't you good at Tarik's senses?"
Avi picked up the bread and coated it with jam, and asked Zhou Li curiously: "I remember when you came here, don't you even want to issue a fake invoice? Why are you going to... your nature is exposed again?"
Zhou Li, who did not regard nature exposure as a derogatory term, raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smiling smile: "Do you think I am a good person?"
"You think it's a good person or a bad person?"
Aiwei asked vigilantly, he remembered that Zhou Li had several bottles of real medicine in his hand. If he was worried, he would fill two bottles of him, he would not be able to sank the next day and die with the world.
"I'm neither a good person nor a bad person."
Zhou Li looked at everyone and said calmly: "I'm not an individual."
You are quite enlightened.
"Don't forget, I'm a brave man."
With his fingers on the table, Zhou Li felt the warmth of Eluma beside him and said calmly: "I belong to neither Tarik nor Magnan, I do not belong to any country. I may double standards for these countries because of my personal preferences, but in the face of my ultimate goal, I will not let any country or even individual go because of my personal affair."
"Speak simple."
"Tarick can pull too much wool. If I exceed my moral bottom line, I have no morality."
In one sentence, the originally solemn atmosphere broke the defense. Everyone sighed helplessly and then started to have a meal.
"By the way, what's going on with your friend?"
On the dining table, Zhou Li suddenly remembered that there was another Alyosha following his group to Tarik to visit relatives. He looked at Ain and asked curiously: "Have you found her family?"
"Not found, but there is a clue."
Elegantly cutting the beef from the bowl, Ain responded: "With the help of the Personnel Bureau, she found a clue, saying that there was a person in the first volunteer army with the word Morgan in their name. They were investigating the data and saying that the exact target could be found in about three days."
"It's so hard to find someone? Is Tarik's archives also used to store toilet paper?"
Looking at Zhou Li, who was deeply resentful to the Magnan Archives, even affecting Tarik, Avi smiled helplessly, secretly put the blue vegetables in the bowl into Kaya's bowl and said to Zhou Li:
"Alyosha searched for personnel through formal channels. There were many people who had to check information before. She was waiting in line until three days."
"Magnan doesn't have to line up, what's going on with this Tarik?"
"Yes, you will throw the stolen king's mark directly in the guard's face and kick the archives room without having to queue up. The problem is that you can steal Magnan III and you can't steal the mark of Helinin."
Lin Zi finished drinking the porridge in the bowl in a slight manner, and then said to Zhou Li: "You don't have any chance to get in touch with Helining..."
As soon as she finished saying this, she realized something was wrong. Sure enough, Zhou Li's eyes lit up. A Zi almost did not go as she breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Don't make Tarik's idea. Your trick is quite useful in a country like Magnan III where kings are greater than heaven. But Tarik's rules and regulations are very strict, and even if you steal the Helinin mark, it's useless."
"Tsk, who do you think of me?"
Zhou Li curled his lips disdainfully, and his lips turned into a √, "My buddies always pay attention to adapting to local conditions when doing such crimes, formulating differentiated strategies based on different environmental factors, opening up new blue oceans, finding new opportunities, and triggering a new industrial chain on the basis of ensuring the original crime. Never be a lagging criminal. Do you understand?"
Haha, it's true.
A Zi, who chose to give up arguing with Zhou Li to avoid being contaminated, took the buns beside her, and her face was bulging like a bun.
"By the way, Zhou Li, what's going on in Tarik's western part?"
At this time, Lin Zi suddenly remembered all the things she was in the black market. She looked at Zhou Li and asked in confusion: "I didn't know much about it when I was in Magnum. Now I realize why this western region of Tarik is like this..."
"Is it isolated from the world, right?"
Looking at Lin Zi who nodded repeatedly, Zhou Li thought for a long time and said, "In fact, during the Tsarist Empire, the west was never developed. Because there were too many wetlands in the west at that time, and most of the land was not suitable for cultivation due to latitude issues, so that land was not developed during the Tsarist Empire."
"Later during the Tarik period, Tarik began to develop the west because of the existence of the Glory Crystal. The early development stage was very smooth, and some important mineral resources were also discovered one after another, and they could also be cultivated by the frozen soil of the Glory Crystal. But for some reason, suddenly, a strange ore disease began to spread one day. This disease is difficult to treat, and once it leaves Tarik's life array, it is extremely contagious. Therefore, Tarik interrupted the western development plan and built a high wall to isolate the west."
"Oh, so that's it."
A Zi nodded suddenly and realized that she understood why the Tariks avoided the words "Western". She looked at Zhou Li and asked with some concern: "Then why are you going to the West? What should you do if you get infected with ore disease?"
“No.”
At this time, Lin Ling, who was standing beside him, put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Oreal disease will not infect us, because we are not Tariks."
“Whether we are not Tariks or not, we will not be infected with this disease.”
