Was Xu Cheng extreme?
A little bit!
But for him, since he was going to do it, he had to be fully prepared. As an agent, he wouldn't act rashly without any favorable information. This was also why he developed the habit of being prepared before doing anything.
In fact, Xu Cheng really needed Hawking. If the day really came and he used force to rule the Land of Mercenaries, he would have to wait for the United Nations to vote on whether or not to establish a country. At that time, no matter how powerful you were, you wouldn't be able to stop a nuclear bomb from warning them. This was a deterrent.
Hawking could actually leave. Seeing how Xu Cheng didn't force him and instead chose to persuade him, he knew he could totally leave if he wanted to.
However, his heart was restless again.
What Xu Cheng said, in fact, from Xu Cheng's point of view, wasn't it also a challenge?
It was just that this challenge was a bit difficult!
It was so difficult that even Hawking himself was scared, but … there was an indescribable anticipation in his heart.
Perhaps this was the power of incitement. At his age, he actually couldn't withstand this kind of provocation, and it was from a young man at that.
Hawking stared at Xu Cheng and said, "I want to see how you will die."
Xu Cheng smiled. He knew that Hawking agreed with this.
"If I die, I will send you back to your country," Xu Cheng said.
Xu Cheng let Li Wei be responsible for settling him down. Li Wei was a special agent trained by the Dragon Division and knew how to disguise himself as Hawking. Now, Hawking could stand up and walk like a normal person, so it wasn't realistic to use the old standards to find him. As long as his face wasn't exposed or he publicly announced that he was the missing Hawking, almost no one would be able to recognize him.
Hawking gave Xu Cheng a preliminary list of prices. Xu Cheng was a self-proclaimed rich person, but after seeing Hawking's list of prices, he didn't feel good at all.
What did it mean to say that dreams were plentiful, but reality was harsh?
Research start-up funds, 5 billion USD!
His current assets were only 15 billion, and the preliminary funds already cost him a third of it.
1 billion for all kinds of basic equipment, 1 billion for supercalculators, and it wasn't difficult to find other like-minded teams around the world willing to research quantum technology together. Let Caesar use the hacker network to slowly find private researchers. 2 billion for building an underground industrial base! The fourth point was the most difficult. First, the location had to be hidden, and second, where would you find the manpower and material resources? The underground industry also had to have quality. If during the quantum experiment, a jerry-built project would only bury all the researchers underground.
Xu Cheng wanted to directly build it in the Land of Mercenaries' territory, but there were no internationally renowned teams working there, and it was a place where wars could break out at any time.
Hawking sneered at Xu Cheng and said, "Do you think you can't do anything? In this information age, it's impossible for you to hide and develop. You'll burn even more money in the future. Do you have that much money? "
Xu Cheng straightforwardly said, "No."
Then he said, "But I know how to make money. I'll make money from the United States to support my soldiers. It's too worth it. I've decided to become a vampire and destroy the United States."
Hawking said, "Let's first arrange for the underground engineering experimental base. Any explosion tests in the later stages will attract the attention of the global media. So, what I mean is to simply put the experimental base in the Land of Mercenaries, which is chaotic and congested with information."
Li Wei awkwardly said, "As big as a small town, about 1 million square meters, which is equivalent to more than 600 acres."
Hawking sneered. "Are there any forts up there that are easy to defend and hard to attack?"
Li Wei became even more embarrassed. "Only a few dilapidated houses left over from the war. But no one lives there, so we are temporarily using them as bases."
Hawking: "Then what's the point of building? If you guys get chased away, does that mean you have to hand over the underground factories too?
Other mercenary groups occupy places with oil fields, but you guys occupy places that are in the middle of nowhere, and you want to rule? Other mercenary groups occupy places with oil fields, but you guys occupy places that are in the middle of nowhere, and you want to rule? Mr. Xu, don't say I didn't help you. Wait until you can get a foothold in the Land of Mercenaries first. "
Li Wei was so embarrassed that he directly stopped talking.
"Old man, in the future, you are not allowed to make sarcastic remarks in front of my people and affect their ideals and fighting spirit," Xu Cheng said, "It's just a territory, what's so hard about it? Also, building a base in a place without oil fields will be less dangerous, and there will be less incentive for people to rob. "
Li Wei looked at Xu Cheng and asked, "Big Brother Cheng, are you planning to enter the Land of Mercenaries?"
Xu Cheng nodded. "Let's go over and occupy our base first. Hawking can't stay here any longer. Those Mexican guys won't be reliable if they encounter a real threat. You think of a way to take him there first, I will catch up later."
Li Wei happily nodded. "I will go back and tell Luo Yi."
Xu Cheng found someone who could help him solve the problem of the construction team, and that person was the local tycoon, Haber.
If money could solve a problem, then it wasn't a problem. He believed that the person Haber found was reliable, or else when he went to assassinate the Mitsubishi Conglomerate, Haber would have spread the news a long time ago. Being able to keep it a secret until now meant that Haber wasn't a blabbermouth and was a reliable person.
After he called Haber, he was very excited.
Ever since the incident with the Mitsubishi Conglomerate, he had been wanting to talk to Xu Cheng about how Xu Cheng did all those things and was still alive and well.
"Come to Dubai, I will take you to experience the most luxurious life here," Haber said passionately over the phone.
After Xu Cheng hung up, he called Lin Chuxue and asked, "Honey, let's go to Dubai for our honeymoon."
"I don't want to go, I'm scared that I'll attract butterflies and bees for you," the sensible Lin Chuxue said.
"It's fine, I'm a big guy. If anyone dares to seduce me, I will beat them to death." Xu Cheng said, "Work and rest must be balanced. Go."
"I will go after you book the yacht hotel. Otherwise, don't come and disturb my studies. I eloped with you before I graduated from college, and I didn't even get my music diploma." Lin Chuxue snorted.
Xu Cheng had no choice. He wanted to take this opportunity to have some fun with Lin Chuxue. He really didn't take Lin Chuxue on a trip, so he wanted to make it up to her. Therefore, he called Haber and asked, "My wife said she will come after I book the yacht hotel."
"Yacht hotel? Is that a problem? " Haber said in a self-assured tone, "In the future, don't make it sound like you're trying to humiliate me. Just tell me, I will reserve the presidential suite for you. Wait, you have a wife? "
Xu Cheng: "I can't have a wife?"
Haber: "I mean, what woman would like a crazy person like you?"
