Yuan Zhengxuan now regards the researchers at the institute as hot potatoes. If he abandons his uneasy conscience, it will be useless in the future. It was at this dilemma that Tang Xiu's proposal greatly satisfied Yuan Zhengxuan. He did not quote a figure on the price, but put forward a condition.
"Uncle Yuan, tell me!"
Tang Xiu looked at Yuan Zhengxuan cautiously and said. He also knows that there is no free lunch in the world. Since Yuan Zhengxuan is not willing to package those researchers and sell them to him, I am afraid that the conditions proposed are not so easy to fulfill.
really.
Yuan Zhengxuan smiled and said: "Tang Xiu, you have the Midas touch, and your vision and ability are unparalleled. I need projects, and I hope to cooperate with you in some fields. As long as you let me use the money in your hand If you invest, my research institute can give it to you for free, and the scientific researchers will also introduce it to you."
Tang Xiu frowned slightly. If he had a good project, he would have invested money in it long ago. Why would he wait until now? This difficult problem raised by Yuan Zhengxuan made him unsure how to deal with it.
Yuan Zhengxuan saw Tang Xiu's embarrassment and smiled lightly: "I know it is unrealistic to ask you to give out the project now. I can hand over the laboratory and the researchers to you in advance. You only need to give me a promise now. "
Tang Xiu thought for a while and then said: "I can't guarantee it 100%, but if I have any business plans in the future and encounter a good project, as long as I need to cooperate with others, the first choice will be you, Uncle Yuan. "
Yuan Zhengxuan clapped his hands and said with a satisfied smile: "Then we have made an agreement. In this way, the experts and professors of the institute will go home for the New Year, and will return to the institute to work after the new year. Let's set a date, and then I’ll take you there myself.”
"good!"
Tang Xiu nodded with a smile.
In fact, he didn't know much about the research on suspended magnetic flying discs. After all, he didn't know much about technological research. The reason why he wanted to study it was because he had seen it before and knew how big a sensation it would cause once it was developed, and what terrifying profits it would make.
"Ring ring ring..."
Tang Xiu's cell phone suddenly rang.
Tang Xiu picked up the phone, looked at the number on the caller ID, and immediately answered the call: "Sister Xiaowan, have you returned to Star City?"
Chen Xiaowan's voice came: "Well, I'm back. Where are you now? Isn't it convenient for us to come out and meet you?"
Tang Xiu smiled and said, "I still have something to do now. I'll treat you to dinner at noon."
"OK!"
Chen Xiaowan readily agreed.
Tang Xiu hung up the phone, looked at Yuan Zhengxuan and said, "Uncle Yuan, remember to call me when those researchers will go to work after the new year. I will be in Star City before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Yuan Zhengxuan smiled and said: "No problem."
Afterwards, Tang Xiu stood up and left. Although Yuan Zhengxuan and Zhao Jing wanted to persuade Tang Xiu to stay for a casual meal, Tang Xiu declined because he had an appointment with Chen Xiaowan. Yuan Chuling did not leave with him. He had just returned from Shanghai and planned to spend time with his parents at home these days. After experiencing so many things, Yuan Chuling is obviously much more mature than before, which makes Yuan Zhengxuan and Zhao Jing very happy.
However.
On the way to see Chen Xiaowan, Tang Xiu received a call from Su Ben and learned about a big event. Therefore, he immediately contacted Chen Xiaowan and told him that he was in an emergency and had to go back to his hometown. So after making the call, he turned the steering wheel and rushed towards his hometown.
Su Ben called him and told him that there had been several murders in Sujia Village and several nearby villages in recent days. According to the investigation of the local public security department, it was discovered that the perpetrators of the murders were not human beings, but very special ones. A terrifying beast.
This situation reminded Tang Xiu of what he heard from Su Ben in the back mountain of Sujia Village, saying that a leopard larger than an ox appeared in the back mountain. Tang Xiu initially judged that the leopard should be a ferocious beast. It's a pity that the leopard was not found at the beginning, so it was not dealt with.
Sujia Village, Songlou Town.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, in previous years at this time, the whole village was a joyful scene. Children were running around in laundry, setting off firecrackers, pasting couplets, and playing around. The adults are preparing New Year's goods, or gathering in groups to chat.
However.
When Tang Xiu drove into the village, only a few men came back together from outside. They held shovels and harpoons in their hands and solemn expressions on their faces.
"Crunch..."
The car stopped next to a few people. Tang Xiu faced the eyes of several people who stopped and looked over, and asked with concern: "How is the situation now? How many people in our Sujia Village have been killed?"
Among the men, there was one who had been favored by Tang Xiu. He was Su Xiangjian, who was beaten and sent to Shanghai Hospital last time. When he heard Tang Xiu's inquiry, he squeezed out a wry smile and said, "Two of them, long article." He and Gangzi are both dead. Oh, what a damned beast. Hundreds of people from our villages went into the mountains together, but we couldn’t find any trace of it. We really want to kill it.”
Tang Xiu quickly asked: "Where are the other villages? How many casualties are there?"
Su Xiangjian said: "There are two in our village, and the other villages add up to four. Six people have died now, and several others have been injured. Wang Haiyang from Xiaowangzhuang is seriously injured. I am afraid he will not survive this year."
Tang Xiu asked again: "Where were everyone attacked by wild beasts?"
Su Xiangjian pointed to the north and said bitterly: "A few people from our village were in the orchard at the foot of the mountain, pruning apple trees. Who would have thought of being attacked by that beast. Those who were killed in other villages were also It was near the back mountain. Those who survived said it was the leopard as big as a yak."
Tang Xiu nodded silently, took out cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to a few people, then talked to them for a few more words, and then drove to the gate of his grandma's house.
"Tang Xiu!"
Su Ben and Su Quan had been waiting for a long time, and now they quickly came forward to greet him.
Tang Xiu got off the car and said, "I met Uncle Xiang Jian and the others just after I entered the village and learned about the situation from them. Brother Ben, Su Quan, you guys wait for me outside for a while. I'll go in and say hello to grandma, and then Come with me to the back mountain."
Su Ben quickly said: "Tang Xiu, you can't go."
Tang Xiu took a deep look at him and said seriously: "Brother Ben, there is something you may not be aware of. In the past few years, I have been practicing martial arts with masters. I have a very solid foundation in martial arts. It is impossible for ten or eight masters to be the master of martial arts." My opponent. Moreover, you are following us. As long as we can find the leopard, we can kill it."
Su Ben shook his head and said: "Tang Xiu, please listen to my advice. That leopard is no ordinary beast at all. Now many people are spreading rumors that the leopard has become a spirit. Not to mention the three of us, even thirty people Go in together, if you don’t have weapons, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to come out of the back mountain alive.”
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment and said: "You guys wait for me first, I will tell you later."
Finished.
Tang Xiu stepped into the courtyard gate and saw Su Xiangfei rubbing a javelin in the courtyard. Tang Xiu was slightly startled, and then asked: "When did you come back?"
Su Xiangfei forced a smile and said, "I've been back for more than a week."
Tang Xiu nodded and asked, "Is grandma inside?"
Su Xiangfei said: "Inside, I went to bed after lunch. Grandma has been in good health recently, but because of the deaths in our village, she is a little sad and has been in a bad mood these past few days."
Tang Xiu nodded silently and said, "Since she is asleep, I will go out and do some things first."
Su Xiangfei said quickly: "I just heard your conversation inside, I will go with you."
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "It's enough for me, Brother Ben, and Su Quan to go over there. Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Su Xiangfei shook his head and said: "One more person means more strength. Tang Xiu, I must go together."
Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment, looked at his firm expression, nodded immediately and said, "Then let's go!"
Back outside, Tang Xiu took out a pistol from his pocket, flashed it at a few people, then quickly loaded it, and whispered: "This gun is what I usually use for self-defense. When we get to the back of the mountain, , once I find that leopard, as long as we can’t kill it with force, I will shoot it.”
Su Quan asked in shock: "Tang Xiu, you... why do you have a gun?"
This pistol was actually obtained by Tang Xiu after he killed the Yao family members. He also had many pistols in his space ring, including several submachine guns and sniper rifles. However, he couldn't tell a few people about this kind of thing, so he made up a lie: "I am now a boss worth billions. If someone has evil thoughts and wants to murder someone, if I don't have something to defend myself, I can tell you It might be dangerous. Don't worry, I won't use this gun for anything illegal, it's just for self-defense."
Su Ben and Su Quan suddenly realized that they were both employees of the Shengtang Group. Su Ben was now the deputy captain of the security team of the Shengtang Group winery. Naturally, they knew that the security team of the Shengtang Group also had guns and had applied to the government. of legal firearms. Su Xiangfei didn't know about this situation, but after realizing Tang Xiu's current status, he also understood what Tang Xiu said.
Ten minutes later.
Tang Xiu drove the three of them to the back mountain. After parking the car at the foot of the mountain, they rushed towards the mountain along the path up the mountain. They were very alert, except for Tang Xiu who was carrying a pistol, Su Ben and Su Quan were holding harpoons and shovels respectively, and Su Xiangfei was holding his javelin.
After Jinshan, Tang Xiu's spiritual consciousness has been released. Although his cultivation level is very high now, he does not understand the strength of the leopard after all. Besides, there are three people around him, and he also needs to ensure the safety of the three people.
"You guys can show me the way. I came to Back Mountain often when I was a child, but if I go too deep into it, my memory of many places will be blurred." Tang Xiu told the real purpose of bringing the three people here.
Su Ben said: "Let's search on the outside first. If we can't find anything, we can go deeper. After climbing over this mountain, there are many dangerous places in the valley inside. I am familiar with those places, so just follow me."
