He sat down gracefully and noticed that there was already a handful of fine wine on the black stone table.
Biansi said to Su Yun, "This is a genuine fine wine from the old era. The rarest thing is that they have not been contaminated at all. Mr. Zero, please enjoy. We will talk about other things after we have tasted the wine. "
Taking a sip, he felt a sweet fragrance in his mouth without a trace of bitterness. However, after he drank it, his handsome face suddenly turned red and he gradually exhaled the smell of alcohol from his mouth and nostrils. After a moment, he said in surprise, "What wine is this? The aftereffects are so powerful. "
"It's a secret brewing method for the tequila wine. The brewing method has been lost, so these are the only three bottles left in the entire world." Even a normal person wouldn't be able to take a sip. Mr. Zero being able to maintain his consciousness after drinking half a cup of wine in one go is already quite amazing. " Biansi smiled slightly, at the same time, she picked up her memory, and lightly sipped and carefully savored the taste.
Xiao Xiu's face was red again, but this time it was not because of the alcohol, but because he felt embarrassed after hearing Biansi's words. He never expected that the wine Biansi took out to entertain him would be the rarest and most rare wine in the world. Even if he did not know the price of the wine, he knew that every single bottle was worth a lot and never would Biansi casually take them out to receive him.
Looking at Biansi who was trying her best to take a taste of the light quality food, the air that she emitted just now was like drinking wine, it was extremely rude. Zero shook her head secretly, mocking herself for not being worthy of being a noble.
After drinking a small mouthful of the tequila, Biansi immediately flew up with two red clouds. She put down her wine heart and looked at Zero, "Every single Holy Spirit already has the qualification to own private property, I think that you would definitely not be willing to become a warrior who listens to orders and fights. So the next step, company or factory is probably the choice of the gentleman. Although our family is not as wealthy as the Herburn and Pranning families, other than these two families, there are no other families in Asgard that are able to surpass us in terms of wealth, resources, talents or even other things. "
"It's not my boasting, it's the truth." Biansi slowly said: "Therefore, I have a suggestion, Mr. Zero wants to see if it's appropriate."
"Go ahead."
Biansi said: "I can provide you with a set of starting funds, and if Mr. Zero needs it, we can also provide you with resources, talents, and even soldiers or capable people. Of course, there is a limit to the amount of resources we can provide, and as for the amount of resources we can provide, that will depend on the effect that the Mr. Zero can bring out. "
Zero Xiao asked: "Then I wonder what kind of help Miss Biansi would like me to provide."
"A lot." Biansi said indifferently: "For example, the fighting strength of Mr. Zero and your team, although we are in the production and development of food and medicine, but sometimes we will also search and develop some uninhabited areas in the wilderness. Mr. Zero was born in the wilderness, so they should know that there were terrifying beasts lurking in some areas. Secondly, if there is a need, Mr. Zero being able to support some of our family's decisions from our standpoint is also of great use. Furthermore, if the Mr. Zero finds some strange and valuable things, such as living things or ancient civilization items, it would be wise to give them priority. The price that we offer to buy them is definitely more reasonable than the official price. "
"Of the three roles that Miss Biansi has listed, I think I can do the first and third. But for the second thing, I don't think my voice is strong enough to influence the will of those in power, like Mr. Douglas. "
Biansi smiled and said, "Mr. Zero doesn't need to belittle yourself. With your potential, there will be a day when you will become someone at the top of the pyramid.
"Miss is even more confident in me than I am." Then he asked, "Let's talk about the third point. If I can provide you with a ship from an ancient civilization, I wonder how much Miss Biansi is willing to pay for it."
These words were like a bomb that caused Biansi's entire body to tremble. After thinking for a moment, she slowly raised a finger.
"Ten million?" Zero was slightly disappointed.
"No, 100 million!" Biansi corrected.
Chapter 360 - Fury in the Heart
"100 million?" With his calmness, he was also shocked by this number.
What did 100 million mean?
Thinking about the rebirth plan that he had prepared for Lea, he realized that the entire plan needed 4 million gold. And 4 million was already an astronomical figure for the zeros at the time. One had to know that the annual living expenses of every adult male in the wilderness did not exceed 200 dollars in the mainland's currency. If it was 100 million, then it would be enough for a population of 500,000 people to live for a year.
That was an unimaginable number. After all, even if the entire population of the Mainland China were to add up, it would not exceed one million.
The reason why Zero asked this question was because he remembered the Atlan's Six-Winged Ship that he had discovered under the large fissure near the Death Ridge. His original intention was to value the ship, he did not expect Biansi to give him such an astronomical figure.
Ignoring the shocked Su Yun, Biansi said in an excited tone: "Of course, this number is already close to one quarter of our family's property, so even if I agree, I still need to get authorization from the clan elders, so I am unable to pay all of it in cash. However, we can pay Mr. Zero 50 million in cash, and we can use talent or resources to pay for the rest. And this is the initial value. If this ship can bring us technological breakthroughs, then we can add to your next expenses, or you can consider joining our shares. Although we can't get any cash, we can still get a handsome quarterly dividend. The people and objects needed for excavation and transportation can be handed over to us to handle, and Mr. Zero need not spend a single cent on them. So the question now is, Mr. Zero, where is the flying ship that you found? "
Su Yun said somewhat awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Miss Biansi. I just made a hypothesis. "
"Hypothesis?" Biansi was a little disappointed.
The discovery and excavation of the sacred sign was not only a project owned by the Hall of Heroic Spirits and the Dark Council. The Three Wealthy Classes of the Asgard, the core members and families of the Yongye City and the other rich and powerful families all knew about the existence of the sacred sign. The cataclysm brought about a devastating disaster to Earth. The environmental changes, the changes of the earth's crust and so on caused all kinds of ancient civilization ruins that had been hidden away in the past to appear.
Through the excavation of the sacred sign, people discovered that the technological civilization of the Atlantis had far surpassed their current level by several generations. Especially in the field of energy utilization, they had already reached the point of zero pollution. This is the technology that people living on Earth need the most, and it is also the technology that they need the most. Reverse inference through pollution-free energy systems can even create technologies that change the climate and environment.
Take the Yongye City for example, their magnetic energy shield system was developed on the basis of the Atlantis's civilization. Although it was still in its early stages, it had already started to gradually change the environment around the Yongye City. At least, the people in that city truly lived on the surface, unlike the Asgard who still used the natural environment to isolate the radiation pollution on the surface.
Thus, one could imagine, if Black Rose Family were to obtain a Atlantis's flying ship, in terms of both technology and economy, it would be sufficient to allow the Black Rose Home to achieve a qualitative leap in power. At that time, wanting to overwhelm the other two Wealthy Classes was not a dream.
It was only a "hypothesis", but it already caused Biansi to fall from
the clouds to the ground, and her disappointment was not something that could be expressed with words. However, Biansi was also a smart person. According to her knowledge, most of the buildings in sacred sign were like bases, she had never heard of flying ships. Since Zero came up with this hypothesis, it meant that even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he must have seen some related records or revelations.
So Biansi said: "Then let's start the cooperation according to our original agreement, but if Mr. Zero really does discover the ship, please seriously consider my suggestion just now."
"Don't worry, Miss Biansi. If I had a ship for sale, the first person I would look for would definitely be you. " Zero Head said.
Biansi finally recovered her smile and said: "Then from now on, we are the most loyal partners. Mr. Zero can call me Lis."
"I'll listen to you, Miss Lisa." Zero smiled.
After that, the two of them chatted for a while more about the details of their cooperation. Before the conversation ended, Biansi handed over a pocket-sized intelligence brain. This intelligence brain had some scientific and technological achievements from the Black Rose Home, such as weapon design, production line diagram, food formula, and so on. Of course, what Biansi gave zero was definitely not the latest results from her family, it was just some common goods.
However, even if it was an ordinary product, it was still considered a high grade commodity to the people in the wilderness. As long as these items were produced and sold through Masters, the wilderness agent, they would be able to earn an initial profit. It was just that the construction of the factory, the recruitment of workers, and the rationing of middle and senior management still needed some time to prepare.
And the other important role of the intelligence brain was to be able to contact either Biansi or Cassero at any time, in order to facilitate the efficiency of their cooperation. When Zero brought the intelligence brain out of the room, the celebration was already over. Most of the people had already left the auditorium, and only a small number of young men and women stayed behind to talk about love in this elegant environment.
At the other end of the city, a black car drove into a manor house. The name of the villa was given, and the car was parked by the fountain in the front yard. The person who alighted from the car was Berrien who was dressed in the uniform of the Hammer of Destruction.
Berrien raised his head and looked at the house in front of him. The windows of the house were pitch black, it was obvious that the people inside had already rested. At one o'clock in the morning, even the servants were resting early. After all, at six o'clock tomorrow they had yet another busy day to prepare for.
Only the lights in the corridor below were still on, illuminating the way home for the late arrivals.
Berrien walked along the small path that led to the house. In front of him was his home, but even though he had already left for the past several months, he didn't feel like going home at all. If not for the fact that there was someone in his family that he cared about, Berrien would probably not even take a step into this house.
He pushed open the door and entered the dark hall. Berrien walked past the hall familiarly, going around the hall to his room.
He could also be considered to be one of the owners of this house, but Berrien's room was right next to the servants. Pushing the door open, the strong smell of alcohol wafted out. Berrien frowned, before he could even turn on the light, something hurtled towards him from the darkness.
Berrien reached his hands out to grab it, and when it was cold to the touch, a few drops of liquid splashed onto his hands. He expressionlessly turned on the light in his room, and without even looking at the room, he shouted towards it: "Arendt, before I make my move, get out of here!"
The room wasn't big, about thirty square meters. To someone like Berrien, this kind of room was not suitable for his identity. The decorations in the room were very simple. The floor was a wooden floor with 'Flower' sharpened, and a punching bag hung in the middle. There was a table in the corner with several photographs on it. There was a single bed by the window, with only a thin blanket on it.
Generally speaking, this kind of room was alright, but regarding Berrien's position in this family, he felt that it was a little shabby.
Berrien's father was more or less a mid-class aristocrat in the Asgard, and had his own manor. The estate was planted with improved grapes for the purpose of brewing red wine. Berrien's family's main business was red wine, so their income could still be considered good. Only, Berrien's position in the family wasn't very high. His mother was born of a lowly background and was originally a maid. Only when his father got drunk and had sex with him did he officially become his wife due to his slightly attractive appearance.
It was not unusual for a man of nobility to have many wives. It was just that Berrien's mother's birth was not good, so he could not get the respect that he deserved. However, she was very smart. With her help in setting up the winery, the family's income would increase every year, and they would be favored by their father. But after he gave birth to Berrien and his daughter Anna, Berrien's mother passed away from illness.
Although his father still took care of Berrien and Anna, as they were the servants' sons, he received a lot of supercilious looks. The biggest reason why Berrien was still staying in this home was because of his sister.
Right now, the young man who reeked of alcohol lying on his bed was called Arendt and was actually Berrien's younger brother. It's just that this Arendt doted on his father, and always bullied Berrien and Anna both in the open and in the dark. If not for Anna, with his temper, this so-called little brother would have already been killed by him.
At this moment, Arendt ignored Berrien's murderous gaze and lazily spoke from the bed: "Big Brother Berrien, my good brother. You sure are impressive. As soon as you came back, you were invited to the grand banquet in the auditorium. I heard that it was a place only true nobles could visit. Very soon, Big Brother, you will become a great noble very soon, and then you will move out to live, right? "Speaking of which, you two are really thick-skinned. You've lived in my house for many years."
"Your house?" Berrien sneered: "I don't want to argue with you. Since I'm not angry, you'd better get lost!"
"What are you so proud of?"
Berrien's disdainful expression angered Arendt, and the youth jumped down from the bed, walked to Berrien's side and said with a gloomy face: "You two are just wretched people's children, do you really want to be my siblings?"
Berrien's face was cold, he did not say a word.
Arendt felt that it was boring and snorted from his nostrils as he walked towards the door drunkenly. But at the gate he stopped and snapped his fingers and said, "Oh, I forgot. Although he's a slut's child, Sister Anna's place makes me feel really comfortable. I couldn't believe it. So she was so active in bed. It was two different people compared to her usually quiet and gentle appearance. I suppose your mother was like that, and that's why your father liked her. "
Berrien had originally planned to ignore this brother, but after hearing these words, his entire body suddenly tensed up, and then he slowly relaxed. He raised his hand, with a wave of his hand, the door in front of Arendt suddenly opened automatically without any wind. Bang! The sound of the door shutting down startled Arendt, and then he realised that the lights in the room were flickering non-stop, and there were blue electric snakes jumping out of Berrien's body.
Arendt suddenly remembered, although Berrien is the son of a bitch, he is also a stage 7 esper.
Berrien slowly turned around and enunciated each word clearly: "Now that I changed my mind, even if you want to scram, you won't be able to."
His face was calm, but his eyes were dancing with rage!
Chapter 361 - Source
Berrien quietly looked at the blood related brother in front of him. He looked at him very carefully, inch by inch, staring at Arendt from top to bottom. When he went straight to Arendt's division, Berrien slowly asked, "Whe
re is Anna?"
Arendt originally wanted to say "why do I have to tell you", but the moment the words came to his mouth, it became: "She was sent away by father."
"Where to?"
"Wilderness!" Arendt used all of his strength to force these words out of his mouth: "If she continues to stay at home, he will only sully our family. Right now, she's probably begging for mercy from a man whose entire body is covered with mutated organizations. "
Arendt started to become nervous under Berrien's calm but huge pressure. He laughed, but his tears started to flow uncontrollably.
He had never seen Berrien like this.
In this family, Berrien had always been proud and arrogant. Forget about Arendt, the brother, even their father was looked down upon by Berrien. At home, Berrien would only show his gentle side in front of his sister Anna. As for the others, don't expect Berrien to smile at them.
But the current Berrien was different, this bedroom was filled with Berrien's Qi. He was like a calm sea, but under the surface, the waves were rough. The most important thing was that Arendt was not on the surface of the sea, but under the water!
Countless auras surged towards Arendt, but they were not gone. Even Arendt himself admired his willpower.
"Very good."
As Berrien spat out these two words, the enormous pressure in the room disappeared completely. However, Arendt felt like there was a huge blank space there.
This blank space, what does it need to be filled? Otherwise, it would be like now, where Arendt felt extremely miserable.
Berrien stretched out two of his fingers and said: "Arendt, you have misunderstood something."
"First thing, you shouldn't have touched Anna. She's my sister and the only person in the world I care about. More importantly, Anna is my shackle. The shackle of that beast in my heart! "
Berrien said indifferently, but it was as if Arendt saw a pair of eyes looking at him.
The eyes of the fierce beast.
