Ding Meng's guess was spot on. Xu Mengqing's trump card was indeed 100 billion star coins. This was the limit given to her by the Starbow Corporation before she left. This was because the higher-ups believed that this batch of stock was worth this much. If the price exceeded this limit, then whoever wanted to buy this batch of goods was free to do so.
Brother Chu must have known this, which was why he had suddenly intercepted the last crate during the competition. He had calculated that Xu Mengqing would no longer be able to follow up.
When he saw that Xu Mengqing had no reaction, Brother Chu revealed a mocking smile. "Miss Xu, thank you for leaving a spoonful of soup for me."
Xu Mengqing sneered. "If Brother Chu likes it, then take it, as long as you can pay enough."
Little Rascal suddenly said, "That's strange."
Ding Meng was puzzled. "What's strange?"
Little Rascal said, "It's like these two people are talking about a business deal."
Ding Meng was puzzled. "They are talking about a business deal. What's so strange about it?"
Little Rascal said, "I'm not talking about a business deal, but a sexual one. Think about it carefully. 'Thank you for leaving a spoonful of soup for me' seems to be saying 'thank you for giving me a chance'. 'If you like it, then take it, as long as you can pay enough' means that if you like me, then give me money. If you can pay enough, then we can talk about anything …"
Ding Meng rolled his eyes. "Little Rascal, you're a genius. You can even make such a connection."
Little Rascal argued, "My analysis makes sense. On the surface, these celebrities are bright and beautiful, pure and charming, but in private, they are debauched, dirty, and chaotic. Idiot Ding Meng, do you think it's easy to survive in the entertainment industry?
It's actually very messy. "
Xiao Ai agreed. "Hmm … That's right!"
Ding Meng: "…"
Just as Ding Meng and the others were discussing, Lu Ming's voice suddenly interrupted the two Chu brothers' conversation: "Young Master Chu, I wonder if Haitian Group is interested in transferring the last container to me? Our corps is willing to pay for it."
As soon as he said this, not only were the other people in the hall shocked, even Ding Meng did not expect this.
But on second thought, there was no problem. Anyone present could buy these boxes, including Lu Ming himself. The premise was that you had to take out real money.
What was even more shocking was that Brother Chu still had a smile on his face as he replied unhurriedly, "Since Captain Lu likes it, then you can use it as long as you can pay enough money."
These words were almost exactly the same as what Xu Mengqing had said. Who would have thought that Brother Chu would actually agree?
Lu Ming was still smiling, and his smile was still polite and gentle. "Brother Chu's breadth of mind is truly admirable. I'll offer 30 billion star coins. What does Brother Chu think?"
Brother Chu clapped his hands and smiled, "Captain Lu's sincerity really makes it impossible for me to refuse."
This meant that it was a deal. Elder Hu, who was sitting in the distance, also laughed happily. "The Star Rainbow Group is in deep trouble this time."
The young man couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
With his experience and experience, he couldn't tell what was going on at all.
On Ding Meng's side, Little Rascal was also very confused. "He didn't make a bid in the beginning, and only made a bid in the last two rounds. He worked so hard to get such a high price, but in the end, he changed hands just like that. Why?
Is he messing around? "
Ding Meng smiled bitterly. "It's because you're right, Little Rascal. They really are talking about sex."
Little Rascal was stunned. "You didn't believe it earlier, but now you believe it?"
Ding Meng sighed. "It's only now that I realize that Lu Ming and Haitian Group's Brother Chu are in cahoots. They knew about Xu Mengqing's trump card a long time ago, so they colluded in secret. First, they used up all of Xu Mengqing's capital to get the box at a low price."
With this explanation, Little Rascal immediately figured out the cause and effect.
As long as this batch of goods was truly unearthed, it would definitely attract the covetous eyes of various forces. Among them, the Starbow Group would definitely pay the most attention. There was no need to even think about this. Most of the boxes would definitely be taken back by the Starbow Group. Even Elder Hu wouldn't be able to stop them. Whoever tried to stop them would die!
However, Lu Ming had heard about the contents of the twelfth box from some unknown source, so he also had the idea of taking it for himself. However, if he wanted to take it, he definitely could not use such a stupid method like embezzling it, because the first to disagree was the Star Rainbow Group, so he had to get it openly. Therefore, there was this trade fair in front of him.
"But why did Brother Chu agree to Lu Ming's request?" Little Rascal still couldn't figure out the reason behind this.
Ding Meng said, "Brother Chu and Lu Ming must have reached an agreement beforehand. Do the math carefully. If all twelve boxes were sold, Lu Ming would have at least 10 billion yuan in his account. If he added half of it to make 30 billion yuan, the box would naturally be his."
Little Rascal nodded. "That's right. It's not a big deal for a group like the Extreme Bandits to take out 10 billion yuan."
Ding Meng continued, "Look at Brother Chu. Maybe he's interested in Xu Mengqing."
Little Rascal immediately replied, "That's right. According to my statistics, since he entered the venue until now, he has observed Xu Mengqing 57 times, intentionally or unintentionally. Among them, 34 times he was secretly glancing at her breasts. The woman's breasts are really … big and white, and she's wearing such a revealing dress. That's why I think there's something wrong with them."
"That's right."
Ding Meng explained, "Brother Chu wanted to sleep with Xu Mengqing, but he didn't have the chance. But the Extreme Bandits invited Xu Mengqing, so Brother Chu's chance came. Lu Ming wanted the last box, but he didn't have the courage to fight for it. But with the power of the Haitian Group, the box became the Extreme Bandits'. As a result, the Extreme Bandits got the box in the end, and the Haitian Group got 30 billion Star Coins for free. The best part is that the money was paid by the Starbow Group.
Little Rascal smiled. "Of the 30 billion, Brother Chu might only need to spend a few hundred million to sleep with Xu Mengqing. The best part is that Xu Mengqing might want to sleep with Brother Chu. What a star like her likes most is to climb up the branches of the rich. This is called taking Starbow's money, robbing Starbow's materials, and finally seducing Starbow's girl. Tsk, tsk, tsk. This is really a smart move. Ding Meng, you should learn from her."
Ding Meng rolled his eyes when he heard this. "Little Rascal, you really know how to make connections."
Little Rascal smiled even more mischievously. "Ding Meng, in fact, you can transform into Brother Chu's appearance. I found that your figure is actually about the same as his. When you sleep with Xu Mengqing, she might not be able to recognize you.
Then this trip to Cypress Planet will not be in vain. "
Xiao Ai said, "Well … That's right!"
Ding Meng: "…"
They were still discussing when Lu Ming finally began to conclude, "Distinguished guests, this trade fair has finally come to a successful end. Our army has specially prepared a banquet and we invite all distinguished guests to take a seat. We hope that all of you will grace us with your presence …"
This banquet was held on the second floor of Building No. 1. It was also a splendid hall with more than ten exquisite round tables. Good wine and prepared food had already been placed on the tables. The dazzling lineup looked very tempting.
For Cypress Planet, which was located in a remote location and lacked supplies, to be able to hold such a banquet, Lu Ming could not be said to be insincere towards these distinguished guests. Therefore, all the people present came, including Ding Meng.
Of course, the tables and seats were particular. The ones sitting at the head of the table were naturally Lu Ming, Guan Bai, Mr. Hu, Xu Mengqing, and Brother Chu. Everyone was drinking and chatting happily.
Ding Meng sometimes had to admire Little Rascal's accurate judgment in the aspect of "rascal". Look at Xu Mengqing. At this moment, she did not look angry at all after being tricked.
She was beaming with joy, blushing, and frequently raising her glass to everyone. She looked like a typical social butterfly.
Ding Meng's table was the third table. The status of the people sitting at the table was definitely not as high as the first two tables, but it was definitely not low.
At the head of the table was Hu Biao, who was welcoming the guests of the Generation Extreme Pirate Corps. Next were three people that Ding Meng did not know. Then there were Xu Mengqing's female bodyguard, the young man next to Mr. Hu, and Brother Chu's entourage, Jia Mao.
The atmosphere at this table was obviously not as warm as that at the first table. Only Hu Biao was constantly toasting to everyone. Except for Jia Mao and the young man, the other people's reactions were very cold, especially the female bodyguard. She basically did not even touch the table knife, let alone drink.
However, Ding Meng would not waste such an opportunity. He basically cleared a plate of chicken, duck, fish, seafood, vegetables, as well as all kinds of wine and drinks on the table in a minute. This was taking into account the elegant occasion, so he tried his best to slow down. Otherwise, with his usual table manners, he could have cleared all the dishes on the dozens of tables in half an hour.
Seeing Ding Meng engrossed in eating, Hu Biao could not help but show a playful smile. "Brother Wolf, you have a good appetite."
Ding Meng did not raise his head. "People in our line of work are all rough people in the mining area. It's good enough that we can eat. Brother Biao, please don't blame us."
Although he said so, in fact, he had already spread out his Telekinesis vision. All the corners of the four buildings, including the central square, were under his observation. Nothing could escape his perception.
In this hall, the eyes, expressions, and conversations of the people at the first table and his table were the most important things he paid attention to.
His pretentiousness dispelled many people's previous suspicions. After all, he was in the limelight today. Many people were wondering, "Where did this guy named Wild Wolf come from?
Why have I never heard of him? "
But now it seemed that "Wild Wolf" was not a big deal. The bumpkin was indeed a miner. He paid no attention to what was going on in the hall and only focused on eating free meat.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was in the mood to talk, especially Hu Biao. At this table, Jia Mao was the only one who drank with him.
"Brother Jia, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Now that we finally meet, we must have a good drink or two." Hu Biao raised his cup in a forthright manner. "Come, let's have another drink."
Jia Mao could not get drunk with him in this kind of situation. Although Fourth Young Master Chu was drinking happily over there, his entourage did not dare to let down their guard.
Jia Mao could only raise his cup as a gesture. At the same time, he changed the topic. "Old Hu, the thing I asked you to do last time, did it go smoothly?"
"It's nothing."
Hu Biao was obviously a little drunk. His face was slightly red. "Green Arrow's base is just a bunch of chickens and pottery dogs. They don't have any fighting power at all. It'll be over in a few moves."
As soon as he said this, Ding Meng's spirit was suddenly lifted. He quickly turned his attention to the two of them.
