Chapter 580

Chapter 579: Desire is hard to satisfy

The train moved clatteringly and entered a small station.

Xu Ji looked at the station sign through the curtains.

"Siem Reap!"

The stop sign also has the name of China: "Siem Reap!"

I picked up my phone and looked at the time. It was half past ten in the morning.

Then I looked at the travel guide sent by Southern Offshore Oil Company and turned to the page about Siem Reap.

"It turns out that it is the gateway to the ruins of the Angkor Dynasty!" Xu Ji smiled. He remembered that there was a record of Angkor Wat in the junior high school textbook.

The ruins of that lost ancient dynasty in Asia have been hidden deep in the jungle for hundreds of years.

It was only seen again in modern times.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in the travel guide, Xu Ji was also very interested and planned to visit Angkor if he had time.

"Speaking of which..." Xu Ji looked at the pictures of ancient temple buildings.

“Khmer is a Buddhist country!”

"These temples seem to be different from those in China!"

Xu Ji looked at those pictures and raised his lips slightly.

Those temple ruins in the jungle are not like the common Buddhist temples in the Central Plains.

On the contrary, in some mythical worlds, there are shadows of some temples that Xu Ji saw when he was in the Western Pure Land.

Of course, not much!

However, this still made Xu Ji interested.

"Blue Star seems to have some connection with the mythical world..." He thought of the relationship between himself and the old god: "Everything is possible!"

While he was thinking about it, a uniformed staff member knocked on the door and came in, saying to Xu Ji: "Mr. Xu, you can get off the car now!"

"We have arranged a local hotel for you..."

"In addition, several ministers of relevant departments in the Khmer Kingdom hope to hold talks with you..."

"I wonder if you do?"

Xu Ji was shocked when he heard this.

The Kingdom of Khmer? The relevant ministers will have talks with me?

Do I have such great dignity and pomp?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems so.

The Khmer Kingdom seems to have a total population of just over 10 million, which is only slightly more than the permanent population of Tam City.

As for the economy?

What was the GDP of Tancheng City last year?

It seems to be about 3 trillion, converted into knives, at the current exchange rate of 6:1, it is about 500 billion?

How big is the Khmer Kingdom?

It seems that the travel guide said it was about 50 billion.

The power of one country is only one-tenth of the economic size of Tan City.

So, the heads of relevant Khmer departments are probably equivalent to the division level or section level in Tancheng City?

It seems that Guiling is already at the department level!

Xu Ji's mother seems likely to be promoted in the second half of the year. I heard she might become the chairman of the Women's Federation of the group company?

That's equivalent to deputy director level.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji felt relieved.

So, I said to the other party: "That's not necessary!"

"I personally prefer quietness!"

In the past, Xu Ji would not have let go of such a good opportunity to pretend to be sexy!

After the meeting, take a group photo and post it on WeChat Moments.

Then you can quietly enjoy the admiration of the entire circle of friends.

but now……

Xu Ji just wants to be low-key and low-key!

Before you achieve Nascent Soul, before you can't resist missiles physically.

Must be low-key!

If you install X accidentally, you will be hit by missiles!

If one shot doesn't kill, use ten. If ten doesn't work, shoot a hundred, or a thousand!

The force of force of modern countries is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Just shoot the first bird.

Therefore, Xu Ji is very cautious.

Especially now that we are out of the country, there are real security risks!

Can you be cowardly or a little cowardly?

Hurry up and find the ghost tree, then call it a day and go back to Tan City to hunker down. You won’t be able to make a golden elixir without showing up!

Even if you become a golden elixir, you should keep a low profile.

Practice seriously, be careful in what you do, and be a low-key person.

Don't be showy, don't be arrogant, and don't be as arrogant as when you first gained strength.

These days, the Internet is too developed.

If you are not careful, it will be posted online and you will be killed.

After all, Xu Ji's surname was neither Yi nor Zhou.

Not so thick-skinned!

I just thought about it, if I was too arrogant and someone posted it on the Internet, more than a billion people would discuss it and poke their spines.

I’m afraid I won’t even be able to sleep!

You might even become depressed!

After hearing this, the staff member had no objection and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Xu, we will decline it for you right now!"

Xu Ji suddenly became curious: "Aren't you in the oil business? Why, are you even connected with the top Khmer officials?"

The other party suddenly laughed shyly: "As we do business, of course we pursue peace as the most important thing! Therefore, the relevant local parties still have to give us some thin noodles!"

"Oh..." Xu Ji nodded, he probably understood.

It is said that all crows in the world are as black as black.

The same is naturally true for capital.

Foreign capital will support forces and influence the policies of other countries.

Wouldn’t domestic capital be able to?

joke!

They are all capital, so how can they be superior or inferior?

Just like money.

Who can tell which of the two banknotes in his hand is clean? Which one is unclean?

The inherent driving force of capital will prompt it to do everything that is conducive to its own expansion.



Li Xiaofeng put down the phone and said to his secretary: "Arrange a plane for me to Siem Reap immediately!"

"be quick!"

"I don't have much time!"

He wanted to get in touch with the 'suspected immortal' before stealing everyone else.

Regardless of whether it is true or false.

The current situation forces him to do this!

The secretary nodded and was about to go to work, but was stopped by Li Xiaofeng: "Wait a moment, by the way, notify the Tancheng branch in Zhongyuan to donate another 10 million to the other party's alma mater in my own name!"

"You might as well do this in a big way!"

"Mobilize all our public opinion power in the Central Plains!"

"Focus on our Seven-Star Consortium, focus on building a modern high-tech industrial park in Tancheng City, and strive to develop together with the people of Tancheng and get rich together!"

“Be sure to mention the supplies we have donated before!”

"Outstanding advancement, outstanding donation timely!"

"In addition..." Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and then said: "Contact some entertainment companies in our country and ask their idol groups that are well-known in the Central Plains to go to Tancheng City immediately!"

“Cooperate with our momentum!”

"These things must be implemented before 12 noon today and must be reported!"

"Not only the media and newspapers, but also the Central Plains's Bihu, scarves, prestige, Wandu..."

"All online media must follow suit!"

"I want all the eyes of the Chinese netizens today to cheer for our friendliness and harmony!"

"I want the Seven Star Consortium's love for Tan City to be known to everyone!"

"Go! Start right away!"

"No matter the cost, no matter the cost!"

The secretary was frightened.

This is a big deal! An unprecedented deal!

He wriggled his lips and asked tremblingly: "President, if you do this, the board of directors..."

"The board of directors supports me!" Li Xiaofeng said seriously.

"Whether it is Mr. Kaka or representatives from Citigroup, they will support me!" When he said these words, the age spots on Li Xiaofeng's face turned rosy.

He already knew that Citi Senator and retired Navy Vice Admiral Thomas arrived at Changi Naval Base and took over command of the entire Asia-Pacific.

Starting this morning, all ships and aircraft from Yongshan Base in the north, to Changi Naval Base in the south, and to Honolulu in the west are under the control of Congressman Thomas.

The biggest supporter behind Congressman Thomas is Thackeray, the leader of the Purdue consortium.

Citigroup is one of the largest chaebols in the country.

At the same time, this old gentleman also has the honor of coming from the East: an old friend of the Republic.

This is a rare title!

Especially for the leaders of private consortiums.

Such an honor is difficult to obtain!

That is to say, in recent years, due to some reasons, this rich man has gradually retired from behind the scenes, and his reputation has gradually faded.

However, the fact is: the Purdue consortium controlled by Thackeray is still among the top three lobbying groups in the Citi Senate.

He is also the main financial backer behind dozens of senators.

At least thirty MPs have received Thackeray funding for more than forty years!

Forty years of interest alliance have made it impossible for them to be separated from each other!

Senator Thomas is one of them.

As early as forty years ago, when Thomas retired and started campaigning, Thackeray provided him with large sums of money in the name of individuals and consortiums.

And now, as far as Li Xiaofeng knows, that old Mr. Thackeray is in Tancheng City! He is recuperating under the "holy mountain shaped by the miracles of immortals".

This sent an unmistakable signal to Li Xiaofeng: Citi people are also looking forward to it!

Even looking forward to it!

Rubbing his palms, Li Xiaofeng could understand the changes in Citizen.

Especially the sudden intervention of the Senate.

There is great terror between life and death!

The longer people live, the more afraid they are of death!

Especially when this person has huge power and countless wealth.

As long as there is any possibility, even if there is only a slight chance.

They will also try their best to survive.

What's more...

It’s immortality!

If you could live forever, Citi people would stop being so coy and hesitant as they are now.

Even if he kneels down and kowtows, he is willing to do so.

Don’t today’s senators go to church to pray on time every day?

Are they religious?

wrong!

It was because they had a hunch that the legend might be true.

There really is an eternal God, and there really is an omniscient being.

Therefore, they are scrambling, they can’t wait to show their devotion to God!

Now, the legendary "immortal immortal" appears in the East.

Naturally, some people are moved, some are shaken, some are yearning for it, and some can’t wait!

Lee Hyo Bong can understand these emotions!

Because he is also an old man who is afraid of death.

Looking at the secretary's back as he hurriedly finished the work, Li Xiaofeng sat down, took out a small packet of medicine from his jacket pocket, picked up a piece of white medicine from it, and swallowed it.

This is the best magic medicine he can get now.

It is a cancer killer and can also treat Alzheimer's disease.

It can also activate body cells, play an anti-aging role and extend life span!

However, this magical medicine, which is made from magical herbs and spiritual herbs produced by demons and ghosts, and extracted using modern pharmaceutical methods, has a fatal flaw - if you eat too much, you will develop drug resistance!

Every drug is!

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng had to change his medicine every three months, and then cycled through twelve different medicines to extend his life.

However, he and his colleagues soon discovered that something called comprehensive drug resistance had surfaced.

Drugs produced by monsters of the same form will have common resistance to each other.

Some cases have even proven that even the drugs produced by different forms of monsters may have universal drug resistance.

These are lessons learned in exchange for human life!

After taking the medicine, the age spots on Li Xiaofeng's face immediately faded a lot, and his mental state improved again.

"Wait for me……"

"Immortal... you must wait for me to arrive!"

He said silently.

Thackeray was able to win the position at the foot of the Holy Mountain because he had great hands and eyes, and also because Thackeray was a big shot in Citigroup.

The people of the Central Plains must give him face!

But not Li Xiaofeng!

Because as the president of the Seven Star Financial Group, he is considered rich and powerful.

But in the face of superpowers, it is not enough.

Neither Citigroup nor Centaline respect him superficially.

so……

Li Xiaofeng knew that he had to and could only save the country through curves.

Go directly to the ‘immortal’.

Before this morning, Li Xiaofeng had not made up his mind.

He was even angry about what happened last night.

But this morning, when Congressman Thomas arrived in the Lion Country, Li Xiaofeng had already made up his mind.

Behind Thomas is Thackeray.

Thackeray was recuperating at the ‘Holy Mountain’ in Tancheng City.

Thackeray and Thomas are both big shots in the Citi Senate.

The logical chain has been completed!

Thackeray, who is recuperating in Tancheng City, must have improved his health!

There was even some miraculous change!

And they are one.

Thackeray would hide nothing from the Senate.

Maybe the Senate has now obtained Thackeray's medical report.

"right!"

"Medical examination report!" Li Xiaofeng muttered to himself: "Why didn't I think of it?"

Long before the era of ghosts, wealthy and powerful people had begun to hire powerful private medical teams to take care of their health.

After the era of demons and ghosts, the private health teams of the rich are growing like snowballs!

For example, Li Xiaofeng has a private medical team of 200 people responsible for his health.

There are also more than a dozen advanced laboratories tracking his blood oxygen changes, cell vitality and internal organ health at any time.

Every year, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on this alone!

After spending so much money, the results are definitely there.

Every day, Li Xiaofeng gets a health report.

There is a weekly health briefing and visceral vascular analysis.

Body relaxation and technological conditioning will be carried out once a month.

Systemic cell diagnostics are performed four times a year.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if a hair falls out in the morning, someone will track it, analyze it, and then give a plan to prevent it from falling out next time.

He can do this, let alone Mr. Thackeray, who is in charge of Citigroup's Purdue conglomerate?

The medical services Thackeray enjoys will only be more advanced and advanced!

"That must be it!"

"There must be a change in Thackeray's recuperation!"

“Only Citigroup’s consortium and powerful people are so united!”

Citi Man was torn apart badly.

The only thing that can unite the Senate is something that involves all of their vital interests!



The outer suburbs of Tancheng City.

The foot of the mountain has been completely surrounded by high-voltage power lines and barbed wire.

Thackeray is doing Tai Chi in his private sanatorium.

He has recently become obsessed with Tai Chi.

He likes this oriental sport so much.

The most important thing is...

He can now stand up and no longer needs to sit in a wheelchair.

He can walk and move around.

Although you still need protection, you still need others to pay attention at all times.

However, compared to a month ago, when I could only sit in a special wheelchair and could only eat certain types of food, this was really a blessing.

The feeling of being alive comes back again!

A wonderful life seems to have begun again.

Thackeray's mood was naturally exciting.

After a round of Tai Chi, someone immediately came up to wipe his sweat.

At the same time, Thackeray's personal advisor also came over with his personal mobile phone.

"gentlemen……"

"Congressman Thomas is on the line!"

Thackeray took it over with a smile and answered the call.

The familiar face of an old friend soon appeared on the phone screen.

"Mr. Thackeray, your mental and physical conditions seem to be recovering well!" Thomas asked with a smile.

"Not bad!" Thackeray laughed.

He raised his fist, which was once shriveled but now showed traces of healthy skin.

No longer shriveled, no longer rough.

The touch is back!

He could feel the warmth, heat, and moisture again.

Live, live like a normal person.

Thackeray has been looking forward to it for more than two decades!

He looked at Thomas and said, "I feel like I can live for at least another twenty years!"

20 years later, he was 123 years old.

"And I feel that as long as I live here, I can live as healthily as you!"

Thomas's eyes lit up immediately: "This is really great!"

Thomas' brain was in over his head at this moment.

He is almost eighty years old.

Aging and illness have come as expected.

Although the medicine produced by demons and ghosts can prolong life and cure diseases.

But they can't fight nature.

Cellular aging, body failure, and functional degradation.

Once these things happen, they are irreversible.

No matter how many miracle medicines you take, it will be of no use!

But, a miracle seemed to have happened to Thackeray!

"Alas!" Thackeray sighed.

"Why are you sighing?" Thomas didn't quite understand.

"The staff told me that the concentration of 'fairy energy' on the holy mountain is slowly declining!"

"Maybe after three months, the current concentration can no longer be maintained!"

"In five years, the concentration of the fairy spirit breath here may be reduced to the point where it will no longer be effective on the human body!"

"I really hope that something like this won't happen!" Thackeray looked at Thomas's face and said seriously: "But experts say that unless the 'immortals' are willing to take action to protect this place, there is nothing they can do!"

Of course Thomas understood Thackeray's implication.

He smiled and said: "Mr. Thackeray, I believe that with your generosity and kindness, the 'immortal' will definitely agree to come back to protect this place!"

"Oriental people will probably ask the other party to protect this place in the future!"

"You don't need to worry!"

Thackeray laughed, and the skin on his wrinkled face wrinkled together.

"Congressman Thomas, you should know..."

"My friends and I want more than this!"

His cloudy eyes lit up.

Stare at Thomas like a lion.

"We want to be young again!"

"I believe you are the same!"

"So, don't let us down! Mr. Congressman!"

Thomas immediately assured: "Please don't worry, please don't worry, also please your friends!"

"In the name of my parents, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Immortality!

Rejuvenation!

The elixir refined by these Eastern legendary immortals has these effects!

In ancient legends, immortal elixirs even have incredibly exaggerated descriptions.

For example, the flat peach and elixir in "Journey to the West" can make mortals live forever even if they smell it!

If you eat it, a mortal can even become an immortal directly!

Possessing boundless power, like God possessing omniscience and omnipotence!

Incredible, incomprehensible!

The big shots at Citi were admiring, envious, and looking forward to it.

They also want to be like the gods and Buddhas in "Journey to the West".

Everlasting and long-sighted, it is here forever.

Thomas is certainly no exception.

Thackeray nodded and asked: "So, Congressman, what can you do?"

Thomas smiled and replied seriously: "Sir, I have been reading a lot of Eastern fairy tales and novels recently..."

"I found an interesting record!"

"Journey to the West and many mythological stories contain stories of the Buddha chanting sutras and praying for mortals!"

"In these stories, even the almighty Buddha will impose conditions on mortals who request them..."

"Asking for gold as an offering!"

"In Journey to the West, the 'Buddha' personally admitted that his disciples prayed for the souls of the deceased people in the family of 'Elder Zhao of Savatthi State', but they only received three buckets and three liters of rice grains of gold, and the 'Buddha' felt that they received too little.

thing!"

"Sic..."

Thomas recited the dialogue in Journey to the West in Chinese dialect.

Thackeray's eyes lit up as he listened.

"Gold?"

"A grain of gold? How much is three dou and three liters?"

He did not wait for Thomas to answer, and said domineeringly: "If it is possible, I am willing to pay a hundred times or a thousand times the gold in exchange for a pill of elixir!"

gold?

That’s nothing!

The Purdue consortium has no shortage of gold!

Just in the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank, the Purdue Consortium has a hundred tons of gold reserves!

Thomas nodded: "I think so too!"

Any problem that money can solve is not considered a problem by Citi people.

The same is true for Immortal Ruona.

Then everyone at Citigroup would welcome it.

He is even willing to prostrate himself and bend his knees at his feet.

If you want money, it’s easy to do it; if you want money, that’s right!

Since their ancestors were willing to use money to buy indulgences.

Now, I am naturally willing to exchange money for elixir, not only willing, but also very happy!

Even willing to respect the other person as Lord, God, and Father!

"But..." Thomas lowered his head: "'Immortal' is now under the strict protection of the Central Plains..."

"He also seems to refuse to contact us...The analysis report pointed out that he may be biased against us...'

"Of course, it doesn't matter!"

“We are very patient!”

"Now, the key point is... we must first confirm that He is indeed an 'immortal'!"

"It does possess great power that we cannot understand and imagine!"

"It does have the ability to create miracles like the 'Holy Mountain'!"

"So, we will pay close attention to the whole process of 'Immortal' leaving the country this time!"

"Once there is any news, I, your most trustworthy friend, will definitely notify you and your friends as soon as possible!"

Thackeray listened and nodded with a smile.

This is what he wants too.
