Chapter 532 - Team, Funds, and All of Your Food and Drink Expenses are All on Me

Chapter 532: Team, Funds, and All of Your Food and Drink Expenses are All on Me (Part One)

 
Xu Cheng asked him,
Are you paying the bill?


I…
Haber bitterly smiled.
Let me think about it. It’s a billion dollars, I might not be able to pay it all within a short time.


It’s a construction team you find, so you talk to them and tell them when you want to pay them in full. That’s your business,
Xu Cheng said.

Let’s eat breakfast first, I’m overwhelmed. You’re taking on a big gamble, I need to calm myself down a bit.
Haber sat down and didn’t let Xu Cheng go too. The two of them just continued enjoying the hearty breakfast buffet.
Xu Cheng said to Haber’s assistant,
Prepare me another breakfast meal, I’m bringing it back to my wife.

Haber’s assistant nodded and immediately left.
Xu Cheng looked at Haber and said,
I like how you get to order people around. When you get a chance, you can come and hang out at my territory.

Haber:
Where? Huaxia?

Xu Cheng:
No, the Land of Mercenaries.

Haber:
No thanks, I still want to live a few more years. I don’t want to get shot down when I’m still in my private jet entering your airspace. There are just missiles flying everywhere. Over these years as oil prices increased, the dictators there have become even crazier.

Xu Cheng:
It’s fine, in the future, I will allow your plane to fly around all you want. But, that will be in the future.

Haber looked at Xu Cheng in all seriousness and said,
Are you really planning to go and develop that region?


Why not?
Xu Cheng looked as if he couldn’t imagine a reason not to.
Just like you said,there are all kinds of outlaws there that couldn’t find asylum under any nation. They all have nowhere to go, and there are all kinds of people there. It’s like the Mexico black market on crack. I like this world of the strong. Over there, there’s no such thing as the law; the side with stronger fists and more bullets is the law. Those that are tougher, have more people, and are more powerful get the final say.

Haber laughed.
But the key is, do you have firearms?

Xu Cheng:
No, but I can grab some from others.

Haber:
Then do you have bros? The other guys all have over thousands of people in their allied and mercenary regiments, and even the lower grade ones have over hundreds of people. In the past, it was possible to take on this kind of army by just one person and one gun, but now, all the nations have drone tactics and various tactics executed by professional strategists, not to mention the high-tech weapons. What do you have?

Xu Cheng was speechless.
Nothing. Right now, I probably have just about 50 or so guys.

Haber laughed, the contemptuous kind.
Solo commander? Are you planning to make you and your almost-non-existent army cannon fodder?

Xu Cheng suddenly said,
Then what if all those fifty men’s power is second only to me?

Haber lifted his eyebrows.
Impossible! Your level is at least S+ class. 50 S-class soldiers? I don’t even think any nation can group together that many.


Then you are just a frog at the bottom of a well,
Xu Cheng said in disdain.
Haber doesn’t engage in international disputes, so he certainly didn’t know the hidden force behind the big nations.
Just take the M Nation’s Soloman 72 Demons and 7 Sins for example, they were all S-class and higher soldiers.

There will only be more in the future,
Xu Cheng said.
But now, telling you all of this is just wasting time. All will depend on how much you can help out this time.


Help out my azz! You are telling me to pay a billion for your bill for free! And you want me to take the risk of being investigated by the Interpol to go and find you a construction team for you to build a firearm factory? Don’t tell me that the gift you mentioned to me was just sweet talk but no substance.
(

Nope, let’s eat breakfast first,
Xu Cheng said.
Haber glared.
What’s there to even eat! I feel like I got trolled by you. I’m taking back my promise of finding you a construction team and paying for the bill.

Chapter 532: Team, Funds, and All of Your Food and Drink Expenses are All on Me (Part Two)
Xu Cheng didn’t seem to care.
Up to you. The moment you met me, you’ve already been dragged onto the same boat. If you don’t want to take this offer, then I will go and find someone else. There are a lot of people with bigger balls than you that want to go on this adventure.

Haber snorted.
You think there are that many rich people in the world? Not to mention finding a reliable construction team to help you build an underground factory in the Land of Mercenaries, but also one who will pay all the bills for you? You think one billion is a small sum of money? As a rich man myself, I know that the richer one is, the stingier they are. If you want them to take out a billion to make 2 billion, they will do it. But to give you a billion for free? Haha, not to mention one billion, their heart would ache even if it’s 10 million! What kind of gift is worth a billion? In the past, those historical relics and famous artworks might be, but you think those are just so easy to find? Besides, you will have to find the right buyer to be able to get that price. Sometimes, even if something’s priceless, to be blunt, to someone that doesn’t like it, they wouldn’t even care if it gets smashed. That’s the logic. Don’t just see that I don’t care about money on the outside, but when it comes to business, my little mental calculator is pretty active and I have a sharp eye for investment.

Xu Cheng ridiculed him.
I thought you guys just dig up oil, sell it, and make a fortune.

Haber felt a bit awkward but immediately retorted,
Even then, we still have to control the amount of oil produced each year and pick who to sell it to, and control the market and the crude oil shipments to control the world’s oil price. These things all take knowledge and skills, what do you know! I won’t bore you with the details this early in the morning.


Then what if my gift is the most expensive drop of liquid in the world?
suddenly, Xu Cheng said with a faint smile.

Most expensive liquid?
Haber still wasn’t taking it seriously.
What is it? Scorpion venom? A gallon of that is just 39 million dollars. How much scorpion venom are you going to exchange with me for a billion dollars? Besides, what am I going to do with that?

Xu Cheng smiled and didn’t say anything. He kept on eating his meal.
Haber chit-chatted and suddenly, his knife and fork stopped.

The most expensive liquid? Wait a second, if I’m not wrong, a week ago, the most expensive liquid title actually went to the medicine from the Mandala Lab?

Xu Cheng smiled.
Each dose is 20 ml, and its current auction price was 3 billion. How much do you think each drop is worth?

Haber swallowed his spittle.
Are you joking with me?

Xu Cheng:
I just said your gift is the most expensive liquid in the world, I didn’t say it was Mandala Lab’s medicine. And judging by your reaction earlier, it seems like you weren’t really looking forward to this partnership. Oh well then, I will go and find someone else. I feel like one billion is just too bad of a deal for me.


Wai-wait a second, Bro, my good bro!
Haber immediately got nervous. He stood up right away to pull Xu Cheng back and said with an anxious face,
Let’s talk this out, come on, why are you taking my joke seriously again? Of course I was joking! Come, let’s talk at my house, haha.

Xu Cheng just stood there, somewhat indifferent and unwilling.
Haber pulled on his arm like he was pulling a cow as he anxiously coaxed Xu Cheng,
Construction team, funds, plus all your expenses this trip, eating, living, and your wife’s shopping, all of your expenses are all on me! What is money to me? Just a bunch of papers!
