Li Banfeng is drawing a map in Xiaoyaowu, drawing a map of Bitch Hill.
Wan Jinxian knew that Li Banfeng had used a unique skill, which meant that he knew that Li Banfeng had nine levels of cultivation.
This matter is a worry for Li Banfeng, and he must find Wan Jinxian and get rid of him.
Wan Jinxian was sent to Daogui Ridge by Li Banfeng, who is currently at Bitch Hill.
In the past, under the influence of the sage's skill of stacking mountains, the entrance to the Bitch Hill was difficult to find, the exit could not be found, the directions were confusing, and the terrain was overlapping. There was no complete map of the Bitch Hill in Puluo Prefecture.
Now that the saint is gone, the influence of the skill of stacking mountains has also disappeared, but Bitch Hill has become the realm of swordsmen and ghosts. Ordinary people dare not step into Bitch Hill, and the map is even more hopeless.
Fortunately, Li Banfeng had visited every village in Jianrengang before. Based on the traveling cultivator's talent in direction and distance, the framework of the map was quickly formed.
There were a few details that needed to be recalled carefully, but Ma Wu suddenly opened the door and walked in: "Old Qi, we have a big deal!"
"What big deal?"
In order to run Qiqiu City and Huangtu Bridge, Ma Wu was so busy during this period that he had no idea what to do. Today, he ran back to Xiaoyaowu in a hurry for some unknown reason.
Ma Wudao: "A businessman named Chen took the initiative to find me and wanted to do business with us. Lao Qi, our business has gone to another state!"
Li Banfeng didn't understand this matter very much. He had heard before that the big family had business dealings with Waizhou, but what kind of business could Waizhou and Puozhou do?
Ma Wu explained: "In other states, cultivation is called dark energy, and magic weapons, spiritual objects and elixirs are called dark energy carriers. The dark energy carriers in other states are all bought from us. This businessman surnamed Chen is the one who makes them.
This is the business."
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Isn't this sending weapons to other states?"
Ma Wu shrugged his eyebrows and said: "Lao Qi, we are businessmen. This matter is not ours to deal with. Besides, we can't. If we don't sell it, other families will sell it to other states."
Li Banfeng put away the map and said: "Tomorrow I will call all the major families. From today on, this business must stop. Anyone who does this again will have trouble with me."
Ma Wu persuaded Li Banfeng and said, "It's useless even if we stop the major families. The Customs and Defense Department is still here. They also have channels to get magic weapons and elixirs. Sometimes they even hire hunters to hunt in new places."
This is the truth, but things are even more wrong.
"The Customs and Defense Department has its own channels, so why does it still do business with us through this businessman named Chen?
Find a second-rate dealer to make a profit on both sides? What good does this do to other states?"
Ma Wu explained: "This businessman is very special. He is not from the Huan Kingdom. He is from the Amican Kingdom.
Huan Guo gave him the business of Puluo State, and the business of Amikan State was also let to Huan Guo. This is the result of the game between several parties."
Game?
In Huan State, very few people knew about Puozhou. Before Li Banfeng came to Puozhou, he had no idea that such a place existed.
Puozhou, dark energy, dark energy users, in the Huan Kingdom, this is the top secret among top secrets. How can you find a foreign businessman to gamble on such an important matter?
Li Banfeng always felt that this thing was too abnormal.
"Lao Wu, this businessman named Chen may be cheating."
Ma Wu nodded and said: "I also suspect fraud, but he has a letter from the Customs and Defense Department in his hand. This letter is true. I asked the internal affairs of the Customs and Defense Department and it is also true. Lao Qi, such an old man
This is a deal, we can’t just miss it.”
While talking, Ma Wu looked around and asked Li Banfeng if there were any hooks in the room.
Li Banfeng shook his head. He had washed this room several times with a woman's technique. There must be no hooks. Ma Wu whispered: "You are from outside the state. You know more about things in the outside state than I do. We need to work together for this business."
talk."
It's not impossible to talk. Li Banfeng doesn't want to do this business, but he needs to know the purpose of this businessman named Chen.
Two days later, Ma Wu held a banquet in Xiaoyaowu to entertain the businessman surnamed Chen.
When the guests arrived, Ma Wu first introduced the two parties: "Lao Qi, this is Mr. Dick Chen from Amican Country."
Judging from the appearance, this man named Dick Chen is a typical Oriental. He seems to be young, in his mid-twenties, with very delicate facial features. He should have had plastic surgery. He always has a slight smile on his face.
A slightly playful smile.
When introducing Li Banfeng, Ma Wu emphasized: "This is the president of our Qiu Qiu Group. This business has to be decided by our president."
President?
Li Banfeng looked at Ma Wu and didn't understand why he had such an extra title.
Ma Wu is a rich man. For various reasons, he has never been to other states, but he is not ignorant of things in other states. He is communicating in a way that Dick Chen can adapt to.
Dick Chen looked at Li Banfeng and nodded slightly. He didn't mean to shake hands with Li Banfeng, which was appropriate. Li Banfeng didn't have the habit of shaking hands either.
Li Banfeng didn't even nod, he just looked at Dick Chen silently.
Ma Wu said a few polite words and quickly got to the point: "We have already calculated the list of goods proposed by Mr. Chen. In terms of quotation, we have already given a plan. Of course, if the cooperation goes smoothly, we are also willing to negotiate on the price."
Make some concessions.”
Ma Wu is a businessman, but this is not the way he is accustomed to doing business. In order to adapt to Dick Chen, Ma Wu put in a lot of effort.
Dick Chen looked at Ma Wu's plan and put it on the table, still with a contemptuous and joking smile on his face: "This is my first time coming here. What is it called?"
His secretary reminded him: "This is called Puzhou."
The secretary-general is very good, with fair cheeks and a plump face. He has short hair that is close to his ears, and wears rimless glasses. Only one third of his plump peach is touching the seat. He has the unique ability and coolness of a professional woman.
Gorgeous.
"Pro——"-zhou," Dick Chen said with some difficulty: "This name is really a bit confusing.
I’ll just call it Puzhou here. I think everyone has no objections, right?”
Upon hearing this, Ma Wu's cheek twitched.
The last time they met, Dick Chen said he couldn't remember Puozhou's name, and this time he said he couldn't remember it either.
Not only could he not remember it, he also changed his name.
The accountant sitting nearby trembled at the tip of his pen, and even he could hardly bear it anymore.
But Dick Chen didn't think there was anything wrong. He continued: "I know that Puzhou is a very isolated place, but I didn't expect it to be so backward.
Mr. Ma, by listing the price list now, do you want to promote this business through this negotiation?"
Ma Wu indeed thought so, and it was indeed correct to think so. Dick Chen took the initiative to find him, and this is how business should be discussed.
Dick Chen doesn't think so: "Now is the era of information and data. I need to compare different information to judge whether you have the value of cooperation in business."
Ma Wu asked: "If you think I have no value, why did you do business with me in the first place?"
Dick Chen spread his hands and said: "Because there are not many people to choose from in Puzhou. To be precise, no one here has modern business knowledge. I can only find someone who is not so ignorant among a group of ignorant people."
Mr. Ma, if you really want to make a breakthrough in your career and break through the secluded place of Puzhou, I suggest you go out and take a look. You must at least understand the concepts of data and information."
Regarding the concepts of data and information, Ma Wu is very vague, and everyone in Puzhou is also very vague.
But it was these two vague concepts that directly lowered Ma Wu's status, making Ma Wu so angry that his veins jumped and he was speechless.
Li Banfeng was not angry. He asked Dick Chen: "How do you usually obtain data and information?"
Dick Chen Yixiao: "Let's talk about some basics. You may not know the concept of the Internet. On the Internet, I can get most of the information I need."
Li Banfeng said: "We also have our own information channels, we have newspapers."
Dick Chen shook his head and said: "That's so outdated. It was a media carrier from the last century and should have been sent to a museum long ago.
And I have also seen your newspaper, and the information in it is too watery and has too little credibility."
Li Banfeng nodded and said: "The credibility of the newspapers in Puzhou is not very high. Only three out of ten pieces of information may be true. But as you mentioned on the Internet, not one out of a hundred pieces of information may be true. You use it."
Being an information channel, what’s there to be proud of?”
Dick Chen frowned slightly: "What is the basis for you to say that? Have you ever been exposed to the Internet?"
Li Banfeng smiled and said: "In Puzhou, not everyone is qualified to speak in the newspaper.
But when you go out of state, everyone can talk nonsense on the Internet. How trustworthy do you think the Internet is?"
Dick Chen shook his head and said: "You seem to have a certain understanding of the Internet, but your thinking mode shocks me. You actually used newspapers and the Internet to compare, which shows that your thinking is outdated and backward.
The way I speak may be a bit direct, but I don't mean to offend you. I just want to express my true thoughts.
Mr. Li, your Puzhou’s backwardness and isolation determines my attitude towards you. This is a reflection of objective facts, not my subjective discrimination. Can you understand what I mean?”
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Who is that? I still don't understand what you mean."
Dick Chen frowned and said, "I have a name and a surname. Please don't call me that. This is the most basic respect for me."
Li Banfeng asked seriously: "What is your name?"
Dick Chen's cheeks trembled, but he still maintained a shallow smile: "My name is Dick Chen, I hope you can remember it."
"Your last name is Di?"
Dick Chen's cheek moved again: "Mr. Li, maybe you haven't been exposed to other languages. In my language, the surname is customarily placed after the first name."
"So your surname is Chen?" Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "This name is not good, it is neither local nor foreign, and it sounds nondescript.
If you want to be a foreigner so much, I’ll give you a nicer foreign name. I’ll call you Thacker Dick. Do you have any objection?”
Dick Chen stopped laughing. Thak Dick was swearing: "Mr. Li, I don't know if what you just said was intentional or unintentional?"
"It's intentional," Li Banfeng said frankly, "I didn't intend to offend you. I was humiliating you. Can't you hear it, Thacker?"
Dick Chen clenched his fists and wanted to pound the table.
Li Banfeng reminded: "If you break the table with a hammer, I will chop off your hand."
Dick Chen's fist became tighter and tighter, and Li Banfeng smiled and said: "If you point your fist at me again, I will cut off your hand. I am not targeting you. Puozhou is so direct in doing things."
Dick Chen released his fist, took his secretary and got up to leave.
Ma Wu opened a private room by himself and drank one cup after another.
He was not upset about business matters, he was annoyed by his performance just now.
"Lao Qi, I really should go to another state to see. I found that I don't know anything outside of Puzhou.
I have heard the names of data, information, and the Internet that Dick talked about today, but I have never seen them in person.
I originally planned to go to another state to study, but my father wouldn't let me. Later I heard that other states only allowed me to marry one wife, and I didn't want to go out either.
Although Dick Chen is venomous, he is right. I have to go out and have a look, and I have to learn some real skills and come back."
Li Banfeng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, nodded and said: "It's right to go to another state to learn some skills, but that Dick is not from another state, he is from Puzhou."
Ma Wuyi Zheng: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Li Banfeng said: "This has to start with you. You are the fifth young master of the Ma family, not an ordinary person. He can disgust you like this because he knows the most painful weakness of the people of Puozhou.
I wanted to cut off his hand, but he immediately gave up, and all the previous arrogance and arrogance disappeared. This is because he is familiar with the methods and processes of doing things in Prozhou."
Ma Wu was stunned for a long time and said: "Then what is the purpose of him looking for us? Isn't it just to do business?"
"This is what we want to investigate," Li Banfeng drank his glass of wine, "and we must investigate thoroughly. In the secret room of the Customs and Defense Department, Dick Chen was looking through Li Qi's information: "Li Qi's real name is Song Zhuowen.
Zhou studied,
He does have some knowledge about other states, and the logic is correct. As for other information, just let Tangyuan investigate."
After speaking, Dick Chen handed the information to Tangyuan.
Tang Yuan, like Light Bulb, is a trainee sent by the Dark Star Bureau. Her main task is to cooperate with Dick Chen's work.
Just now in Xiaoyaowu, she pretended to be Dick Chen's secretary.
Tang Yuan was eager to try the investigation of Li Qi. She had different ideas from Leng Duan. She didn't come to Puozhou just to hang around. She wanted to make some real achievements and learn some skills.
But Liao Zihui didn't intend to give Tangyuan this chance. He told Dick Chen: "People like Xiao Chen and Li Qi are not suitable for You Xuehan to investigate alone."
Dick Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "In my eyes, Li Qi is not a big figure. He is not calm enough, and he does not have enough fortitude and patience.
The first time we met, he wanted to cut off my hand just because of a few verbal conflicts. This kind of person who shows anger easily is really not worth my energy."
Seeing Dick Chen's contempt for Li Qi, Liao Zihui was a little dissatisfied: "You don't know him well enough.
I hope you can spend a little more time·"
"My time cannot be wasted on this kind of person," Dick Chen interrupted Liao Zihui directly, "You have worked in Puzhou for so long, you should understand the concept and value of balancing people.
As a balance person, I need to balance the interests of all parties. There are many things I have to do. A list may be several meters long, but Li Qi is not on this list. He is not worthy."
Liao Zihui left the secret room without saying anything more.
Dick Chen looked at the glutinous rice balls and said, "Ms. You, you don't need to continue to cooperate with my work from now on."
Tangyuanyi: "I am the mission assigned to me by the Commander-in-Chief of Customs Defense. Before receiving the Commander-in-Chief's order, I must—."
"You will receive the order from the general ambassador, maybe today, or tomorrow morning at the latest.
Before that, I give you a holiday, you can do whatever you want to do, go shopping, buy things, these things are very suitable for you."
Tangyuan frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Didn't I say it directly enough? What I mean is that you are not suitable to perform the current task," Dick Chen said. "Your ability is obviously insufficient. Today you showed nervousness and fear at the dinner table. This is easy.
Put me into a bad situation,
I don’t understand the purpose of the Dark Star Bureau and the Customs and Defense Department sending you here. I have no obligation to help you improve your abilities, and I don’t want to be dragged down by you at work.
Miss You, go do what you are good at. In the Dark Star Bureau, people who are incompetent tend to get better positions. I think you should be able to find a path that suits you."
Tang Yuan bit his lip and was about to leave the secret room. Dick Chen picked up a stack of information on the table and said, "Take away all Li Qi's things. This will be your job from now on. I don't want to do anything to you or him."
It’s a waste of time.”
Tang Yuan stormed back to the office angrily.
Bang! She threw the information on the table.
Bulb trembled in fright: "What are you doing? Have you taken gunpowder?"
Tangyuan, Datou and Bulb share an office. Datou goes out to work, and Bulb spends his time in the office every day.
Sitting at the desk, Tang Yuan held his forehead and said nothing for a long time.
She couldn't figure out the meaning of coming to Puzhou.
She feels that she is working hard every day, but the results are similar to light bulbs, which is equivalent to dawdling around every day.
"What's going on?" Bulb stepped forward to comfort him.
"Nothing." Tangyuan sighed and began to sort out the information.
Give Li Qi to me. This is a good thing. I have to show it to them.
Bulb was watching the dumplings next to him, looking at them very carefully.
He saw Li Qi's file and also saw a plan, the quotation plan from Ma Wu.
"How come this quotation plan is in her hands?" Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said, "Please describe the appearance of glutinous rice balls."
"No need to describe, I have his photo." Bulb took out a group photo of the team from his wallet.
"Those with round faces and glasses are glutinous rice balls."
Although her makeup had changed, Li Banfeng still recognized it at a glance. This woman was Dick Chen's female secretary.
A senior agent from the Dark Star Bureau was sent to the Customs and Defense Department for further training. Why did he pretend to be a businessman's secretary?
What is the true identity of Dick Chen?
At night, Dick Chen came to Fuwang Restaurant and entered a private room.
Chu Shaoqiang was drinking in the private room. When he saw Dick Chen, Chu Shaoqiang put down his wine glass and lightly tapped the edge of the glass.
This is a warning to Dick Chen.
Dick Chen stood at the door and did not approach Chu Shaoqiang. He knew that there were many magic weapons and spiritual objects in the room aimed at him.
Chu Shaoqiang asked: "Did Neizhou ask you to come to me?"
Dick Chen shook his head and said: "If Neizhou sent me to find you, I would not walk in through this door. I would find a place to ambush you. Brother Chu, you have become a sinner in Neizhou. I am here to help."
your."
Chu Shaoqiang smiled: "How can you help me?"
"Ge Jun's matter should not be borne by you alone, and the matter of Shengxian Peak is not your fault.
You have suffered too many groundless accusations and you need someone to give you justice."
Chu Shaoqiang smiled: "Your fake foreign devil's accent is quite pleasant to my ears. You said you want to give me justice? What do you want to give me?"
"Take something important to help you exchange for a higher status."
"What's important?"
Dick Chen said: "I will tell you the answer when you agree to cooperate with me."
Three days later, Dick Chen came to the soda kiln and bought a bottle of orange-flavored soda from the soda stall. Without drinking it, he opened the bottle cap, carried the bottle, and entered the alley.
He knocked on the door of a house, and the orange-flavored essence floated into the yard along the crack in the door.
The door opened, and the spider threads on the ground were retracted into the house one after another.
Dick Chen crossed the yard and entered the house, smiling and saying: "Da Boyens, my good friend, I came to visit you."
The famous detective Da Boyens took off his top hat and bowed deeply: "My mentor, my guide, I have been waiting here for your arrival."
Dick Chen patted Da Boyens on the shoulder: "We are like-minded comrades now. You don't need to be so polite to me anymore. How is the situation of the former balancer?"
Da Boyens looked at the room inside and lowered his voice: "His mental state has basically recovered, but some memories seem to have been completely lost."
Dick Chen entered the room and saw Xiao Zhenggong chained to the railing.
Xiao Zhenggong showed his coldness and sneered: "Here comes another fake foreign devil. Do you fake foreign devils have any help? What on earth do you want to do?"
Dick Chen squatted on the ground and said: "Let us help you do something, something that you could not finish when you were alive."
Xiao Zhenggong frowned and said, "Do you think I'm dead?"
Dick Chen smiled and said: "You can think that you are alive, and you can continue to live, provided that you tell me some important secrets, secrets about boundaries."
Xiao Zhenggong shook his head and said: "When I was in the Dark Star Bureau, I did research some things about boundaries, but it was hidden too deep in the outer states and the information was hard to find. In the end, I couldn't come up with any results."
Dick Chen explained seriously: "You have researched the results, but you don't know it yourself. You have hidden some important information. You don't need to tell the exact location, you just need to provide some clues."
PS: This chapter is a bit short. Salad coughed and her brain hurt. I really couldn’t hold it in any longer. I apologize to all of you readers.
Chapter completed!
