Chapter 52 Aristocratic Temperament

The second week after coming to Cardolan, the mine welcomed the first batch of pirates, a total of six mechas, two attack mechas, three assassination mechas, and one long-range mecha. Perhaps because of waiting for too long, the Pili Bee's report was a little trembling. In fact, it was not necessary for him to say more, the electronically focused image has been automatically transmitted to everyone's goggles.

Silent, it seemed that everyone was waiting for instructions.

"What should I do? Give me a word!" Pili Bee had to urge again.

Originally, the leader of the team was Linni, and she should have given orders. However, after Chen Fang joined, the situation changed. Since he came to Cardo Blue Star, whether it was personnel arrangements or communication with the employer, Chen Fang was all in charge. Invisibly, everyone agreed with this change. Who knew that at the critical moment, Chen Fang played a deeper role.

Linni gave Chen a cold look.

"Shoot and kill the long-range mecha." Chen Fang made a quick decision.

With a silent release, Sauron's Eye easily penetrated the long-range mecha, and the cockpit was penetrated, forming a hole with a diameter of two meters. The pirates inside would undoubtedly die. The remaining five mechas were first hidden in all directions, and then with the help of terrain cover, they rushed towards the hiding place of the thunder bee.

"Find a place to hide." After issuing the second order, Chen Fang immediately ended the call.

This is undoubtedly a clever approach. Pirates cannot find the hidden fishman. If they return to the mine, the Pili Bee will continue to shoot. Pirates cannot stay under the deterrence of long-range snipers and quickly retreat with tactfully. In this way, they can not conflict head-on with the pirates and minimize the losses of the mine. However, does employers agree with this way of taking advantage of the trick? Generally speaking, employers prefer to see the commissions spent to be worth the money, and Linni expressed their doubts.

"Please rest assured, this is exactly what my father wants. He doesn't want to have a strong conflict with the pirates. Hiring you is just to maintain the normal operation of the mine." Shen Jun was extremely satisfied, waiting for the pirates to withdraw, and immediately pulled Chen Fang to the study alone.

Although the competition with the Golden Lion ended in failure, Shen Jun was deeply fascinated by the sharpness of the two guns, insisting that the failure was caused by luck, and even suspected that Chen Fang would deliberately let the water go. Over the past week, he has been pestering Chen Fang to learn the skills of using the two guns all day long.

In the middle of the game, the killing was not taught. Chen Fang taught him some of the basics, which also benefited him a lot. The two of them were familiar with each other.

After losing to Chen Fang for two consecutive games, Shen Jun finally broke his silence and said worriedly: "My father intends to give up Kadolan's mine business. I'm asking for my opinion on this. I don't know how to make a decision?"

The hesitant eyes showed that he was unwilling to give up. He needed space to escape from the upper class and give up the mine business. He had to return to his past life. The environment was like hell for him. However, the losses of the mine were indisputable. Chen Fang had to disappoint him. The current situation of Kadolan was not optimistic. It was wise to terminate the business and at least stop mining, which would save the workers' expenses.

"Is there no other way?" Shen Jun asked unwillingly.

"Yes, you can transport the ore out of Kadolan and make a profit from it." Chen Fang said calmly.

"But the transportation line was cut off by the pirates." Shen Jun reminded him with concern.

"If there were no pirates, would it be your turn to do such good things? Don't you think it's difficult to make money when the weather is calm? The channels are available. Big fish swallow small fish, and everyone makes me profits. Only in chaos can they make huge profits. Kadolan is the current opportunity. As long as you see it, there will be money everywhere." Chen Fang's tone at this moment is not like a suggestion, with strong temptation. Anyone with ambition and blood will be excited when they hear it.

"What you mean is that we continue to mine while transporting the ore, which may not work." Shen Jun's head was not stupid, and he immediately saw the flaws in the cost.

Chen Fang was sweating wildly, and a fool almost blurted out, and he forced himself to take into account his identity: "Ore is of course not possible. More than 97% of the ore that has not been purified are stones. This is still high-quality ore, and the proportion of inferior ore is even more terrible. Who would be so stupid that he would risk transporting a ship of stones out? The spacecraft burns high-purity crystal oil."

"First refine the ore into crystal oil, then transport it out by a high-speed spacecraft. Even if it succeeds ten times, we can make a lot of money so that I can continue to stay in Kadolan." Shen Jun calculated initially and his eyes immediately shone.

This prodigal son actually ignored the huge profits of trafficking ore and was just excited to continue to stay in Kadolan. Chen Fang secretly felt heartbroken for his father and corrected: "If you can make a ruthless vote, I will earn some commission, but I have to say first. If you traffic in crystal oil, the commission must be increased."

Shen Jun scratched his head awkwardly and blushed, saying, "This is natural, but our ore is probably not enough to fill a small spacecraft after purification, and it cannot even be installed by one tenth. This operation is not cost-effective. In addition, we do not have the ability to purify ore."

Trafficking ore requires huge capital as a backing, especially when pirates are raging, a mistake may lead to bankruptcy. It is precisely because of this that many people who are eager to try are discouraged.

Chen Fang felt that there was no need to save money for his poor father, so he said bluntly: "You can ask the family for funds or sell the mines. Of course, you still need to seek the family's consent. Because the pirates cut off the transportation line, a large number of ores could not find sales. Kadolan's ore had long been suppressed to land prices. Instead of hiring people to mine, it would be better to buy ore in other mines. Maybe it would be possible to reduce the cost. It is impossible for someone to transport the ore directly. I believe Kadolan has a place to extract ore."

Shen Jun thought hard and said, "Old William's factory can extract ore, but unfortunately it's stopped working now."

Chen Fang had no choice but to remind him: "It is a forced ban at this time. Who would refuse to make money if you have money? You might as well talk to him."

After some reminder, Shen Jun, who was frowning at first, was full of confidence and immediately picked up the communicator.

The smart people would not lack interest in this plan. After listening to the details in detail, the family accepted Shen Jun's request and appointed him to be responsible for the transaction of trafficking crystal oil. The funds were allocated by the family and the mines were closed first.

For Shen Jun's father, this was not only an attractive deal. The excited voices from the phone could tell the old man's eager expectations for his offspring.

"When will we start?" Shen Jun put down his communicator and was filled with joy.

"This~ It seems that it's your business, I'm just a mercenary." Chen Fang suddenly realized that this transaction was not very wonderful to him, and he was simply asking for trouble.

"That's not possible. You proposed the plan. I can't play with you if I leave you, otherwise I will add your commission." Shen Jun blushed again.

The first step in the plan is to get crystal oil filled with the entire ship. Shen Jun, who received the family funds, was full of confidence, but when he mentioned Old William, his expression quickly faded.

Cardolan produces crystal mines, but in such a large mining area, there is only one refinery, and the background of Old William cannot be questioned.

The hair is covered in silver but the feeling is not old. The bridge of the heroic nose is as if it is cut by a knife and an axe. The cold eyes are sharper than the falcon, giving people the feeling that they are not only smart, but also strong.

"Are you going to send ore to refine? I believe you have heard of it. The refinery stopped working two weeks ago, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get your wish." Old William looked at the two young people who were visiting, one was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a family emblem symbolizing the identity of aristocratic, but he could not see any confidence in his expression. He was timid in his conversation and his eyes were flashing, so he didn't dare to look at him.

Another person was wearing a leather jacket but could not hide his noble temperament. Although there was a faint smile on his face, he could not find anything from it. It was just an expression. Old William had a strange feeling. This person was looking down at everything around him, including himself, just like a nobleman looking at his housekeeper. In the past, Old William often experienced this feeling at his master. Since he came to Cardolan, he had not felt this feeling for a long time.

The fact is that Chen Fang did not look down on anyone. He was born in the prominent Chen family. He was a nobleman himself and a high-ranking nobleman. Old William's feeling was due to his special identity. He worked for the nobles all his life. When he saw a person with a similar temperament to his master, he naturally felt that feeling, but others would not.

The old William, who has seen countless people, never believed in clothes or a metal ring. A person's temperament cannot be deceived. It is because of the education he received since childhood and his status, which is subtly influenced. Chen Fang, wearing a leather jacket, is the real aristocrat. Shen Jun is either his follower or as the family emblem expresses, he is an inconscientious inferior aristocrat.

Chen Fang first used his eyes to signal Shen Jun not to be anxious, and then said, "We are not going to send ore to refine, but to buy crystal oil directly. Your processing plant has strong financial resources and must have a lot of inventory, right?"

How smart is Old William, how can he not hear the hidden meaning? If there is too much crystal oil, it is not worth it. Many inventory means that it cannot be sold. He sneered: "There are some inventory, but there are many. If you make an appointment in advance, I can leave some for you. In terms of price, you might as well follow the previous official price. What do you think?"

In the past, Kadolan's crystal oil was officially acquired and then transported from abroad. The so-called official price is the official purchase price, which should be said to be quite reasonable. However, it was when the transportation was unimpeded. Now that pirates are rampant, crystal oil has no sales. At this time, it is a huge joke to propose an official price.

The plan was frustrated, and Shen Jun immediately lost his opinion and signaled Chen Fang with his eyes. He was the only one who decided the subsequent negotiations.

Chen Fang smiled and said, "The pirates cut off the transportation, and the ore can't be sold at all. Now the Kadolan is full of ore, and the price has plummeted. Why should your crystal oil maintain the official price?"

Old William snorted coldly and stressed: "It is the ore that falls, not crystal oil. So far, I have never sold a gallon of crystal oil at a price lower than the official price."

"I'm afraid I've never sold a gallon of crystal oil. We can't accept this price." Chen Fang smiled faintly, even quit his resignation, walked towards the door, and Shen Jun followed immediately.

Seeing this scene, Old William was even more determined to his previous judgment. After stopping Chen Fang, he laughed and said, "Young people are too angry and too impetuous. If I were not old eyes, you are the son of the Shen family, right? In Kadolan, except for my old William's processing factory, you cannot buy crystal oil elsewhere. The price is not unrelated, but I need to know your intention to buy crystal oil."
