Chapter 461: Undercover Operation! The Machinery Association's Sales Pitch!
Chapter 461: Undercover Operation! The Machinery Association's Sales Pitch!
Dong Muchun hung up the phone with a puzzled expression, glancing at the caller ID with a sense of bewilderment.
He seemed to be in a daze, unable to comprehend the strange reaction of the person on the other end of the line, Su Ping.
Moreover, why was he insisting on having Dong Muchun visit the Heart of Ten Thousand Souls at this particular moment?
However, it made sense; this matter was not trivial and was of significant importance.
Without further delay, Dong Muchun immediately activated the personal armored mechanical companion beast, Cloud Sakura, and took off from the Pingyun Group's office building, flying directly through the sky.
During the time it took for Dong Muchun to arrive, Su Ping and Wu Kuang exchanged glances, both at a loss for words.
They had been preparing to take action against the Golden Heart's enterprises and companies, but to their surprise, the other party had taken the initiative and come knocking on their door.
Dong Muchun's appearance dashed their plans to visit Fei Fei.
The two didn't waste time with unnecessary chatter, and within less than ten minutes, Dong Muchun's figure appeared, knocking on the door of the reception room.
"Su Ping, you called me here in such a hurry..."
Before Dong Muchun could finish her sentence, she spotted a special figure sitting on the sofa in the reception room.
Although an ordinary person would be astonished by the figure's appearance, they would never guess their true identity.
However, as the eldest daughter of the Dong family and with several Holy Spirit Beastmasters in Dragon Nation, Dong Muchun was well-acquainted with their appearances.
Dong Muchun blinked, but instead of saying more, she had a premonition that this visit was not an ordinary one.
Indeed, upon seeing Wu Kuang, whom she had only seen in pictures and never met in person, he stood up with a slight smile, "Miss Dong, please, have a seat."
Dong Muchun nodded in surprise, but she was a seasoned individual, having experienced the world. Although a Holy Spirit Beastmaster was important in the Dong family, it wasn't enough to make her lose her composure.
"I didn't expect to see you here in Linzhou, Senior Wu Kuang. I haven't prepared anything..."
Before Dong Muchun could finish her sentence, Wu Kuang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You've already prepared the best gift."
Dong Muchun was taken aback and glanced at Su Ping, but he remained silent.
As a deputy leader, Su Ping was just a figurehead, and the real decision-maker was the person sitting before her. In a sense, his role as a deputy leader merely provided a convenient excuse for him to take action.
He had a clear and precise self-awareness.
Without waiting for Dong Muchun to ask, Wu Kuang spoke up, "Miss Dong, I overheard your conversation with Su Ping on the phone. I won't hide it from you; both Su Ping and I are members of the Silver Bearer Bureau, a special confidential organization, primarily responsible for handling companies and enterprises within Dragon Nation that have joined the overseas organization, Golden Heart.
Oh, so this so-called Golden Guild is just a front for domestic companies that have joined the Golden Heart."
Upon hearing this, Dong Muchun's eyelids twitched rapidly.
She silently thanked her lucky stars for her initial decision.
As the former leader of the Tianyun Group, she was known as the Business Queen of Jianghai Province.
How could she not know about the Golden Guild? In fact, she had been approached multiple times by people who asked if she had any interest in joining the Golden Guild.
She had some understanding of the Golden Guild.
However, due to the Dong family's circumstances, Dong Muchun didn't want to closely associate Tianyun with other powers.
After all, the control over the aristocratic families was extremely strict at that time.
Therefore, out of caution, despite the extremely tempting offers, she refrained from acting impulsively.
Now, with her focus shifted away from Tianyun's affairs and towards the management of Pingyun Company, the connection with the Dong family had significantly weakened.
Moreover, with Su Ping's backing, Pingyun's operations in Jianghai Province had become much smoother.
So, when the Golden Guild extended this invitation, Dong Muchun was still very interested, and that's why she called Su Ping to seek his opinion.
But she never expected the outcome to be like this.
Dong Muchun immediately expressed her stance, "Senior Wu Kuang, rest assured. I, the Dong family, and Pingyun Company have absolutely no contact with the Golden Guild or the Golden Heart! Furthermore, I will not leak a single word of this matter."
Wu Kuang laughed, "If that's the case, why bring you here? Initially, we planned to tackle them one by one. But your news has changed my mind. If we can catch them all or net some big fish, it would be the best outcome!"
"Catch them all?"
Dong Muchun was taken aback but quickly assumed her role, "Senior, if that's the case, there might be some twists and turns ahead."
I don't know much, but I do know a little. Many of the members of the Golden Guild are influential figures in various corporate groups. If they were all caught in one go, wouldn't it have a huge impact on the economy?"
"No! At any time, a mature corporate group will not be paralyzed or frozen just because of the absence of a certain individual. Such a company would probably not even be worthy of the Golden Guild's attention."
"Moreover, this is not something I need to consider! I was originally thinking of using some means to capture some high-level personnel, but now..."
After a pause, Wu Kuang continued, "Miss Dong, are you willing to make contact with the Golden Guild?"
"This..."
Although Wu Kuang's words were quite implicit, it was clear that he wanted Dong Muchun and Pingyun Company to go undercover!
Such a task always comes with great danger.
Naturally, Dong Muchun was unwilling.
Su Ping also thought for a moment, "Senior, isn't this too dangerous? Moreover, if the Golden Heart does have some unspeakable secrets, wouldn't Pingyun also suffer unjustly?"
His opinion was something even Wu Kuang had to consider seriously.
Wu Kuang thought for a moment and said, "The main purpose of the Silver Bearer Bureau is not only to eliminate the companies that have joined the Golden Heart but also to investigate the true intentions of the Golden Heart.
Of course, if Miss Dong joins, she will definitely not be sent to the other side of the ocean to Eagle Nation to participate in the Golden Heart's initiation ceremony. However, we still lack understanding of the Golden Guild's internal affairs.
Soul-searching is the last resort, but it's possible that some of our Dragon Nation's core members of the Golden Guild have already taken precautions. So, if possible, it would be better to have a trustworthy person join them.
Once the task is completed or if there are any additional gains, when I report to Lord Dragon Saint, I will also mention Miss Dong's contributions and achievements in this operation."
Upon hearing this, Dong Muchun's eyes lit up.
Such a promise is more effective than anything else.
It might even allow the Dong Family to break free from its previous constraints and open up new opportunities for development.
In the Dragon Nation, the orders of that person are like a powerful imperial sword, more useful than anything else!
However, such an operation requires a price that is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Therefore, Su Ping still said, "It's a bit dangerous. Let's not do it! If you, Mad Saint, feel that soul-searching is not safe enough, I can talk to Lord Leng for help."
Lord Leng is a master of the undead and an expert in soul-searching.
Wu Kuang continued, "There will definitely be some danger, but with me here, you don't need to worry too much. I will give you a protective mechanical device that can be activated with a thought. Additionally, if we have to face something like the Mirror of Judgement, which can detect the truth or lies, I will also provide countermeasures to minimize the impact on you. At the same time, your identity will be kept confidential, and no one other than the three of us will know."
He didn't pay attention to Su Ping but continued to look at Dong Muchun.
Dong Muchun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she fell into a dilemma.
It was evident that Su Ping and Dong Muchun had known each other for so long, and he could tell that this woman was truly moved.
Then, Wu Kuang added the final straw to this offer: "At the same time, whether it's in Jianghai or even the entire Dragon Nation, all companies that join the Golden Heart will have the priority to acquire the assets during future divisions. For some special gains, you will also have the priority to purchase. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Muchun's eyes lit up.
She owns forty percent of Pingyun's shares, an even higher percentage than what she had in the Tianyun Group.
Moreover, although Dong Muchun is not the largest shareholder of Pingyun, in reality, Su Ping is a hands-off manager, and it is Dong Muchun who is responsible for steering and operating Pingyun.
Pingyun has received even more dedication and effort than the Tianyun Group.
Now, with these conditions, Dong Muchun, who is extremely interested in this aspect, almost didn't think and directly agreed, "Okay!"
Su Ping didn't say anything.
In fact, even without Wu Kuang's promise, Su Ping guessed that these conditions would be unavoidable.
Having this relationship would undoubtedly make things much more convenient.
However, what Su Ping didn't expect was...
After a pause, Wu Kuang looked at Su Ping and said, "You don't need to take action. When the time comes to investigate and make a move, you can just wait at your home to authenticate the findings. As for the rest, I and Miss Dong will handle it."
Su Ping blinked, as he originally thought they were about to head towards the Fire King Corporation.
As a result of this, I don't have anything to do with myself?
However, who's going to give me the money I need?
Su Ping looked at Wu Kuang:
"Senior, how long do you estimate it will take for you to get results? I'm waiting for your triumphant return!"
Wu Kuang thought for a moment:
"It shouldn't take too long. Pingyun Company's momentum is fierce, and given this situation, the Golden Guild will definitely take it very seriously. Moreover, the Golden Guild is unaware that the Dragon Nation has already prepared to take action against them.
So, once Miss Dong decides to join the Golden Guild, it won't take long for her to be accepted into the core layer. As soon as we figure out the Golden Heart's purpose, we can take action!"
Wu Kuang speculated:
"It should take a few months, depending on Miss Dong's progress! You have a mechanical companion beast, right?
To ensure Miss Dong's safety, I can equip your mechanical companion beast with two mini robots possessing Imperial combat strength! Moreover, if any issues arise, I'll be there at the first moment!"
It must be said that Wu Kuang has prepared everything.
Then, there's nothing left for Su Ping to do.
Fortunately, within the Wood Heart, unlike the rest of the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits,
there aren't many people coming and going here. The last time, he came as a courier, and no one paid much attention, obviously this time, it's absolutely confidential.
However, to ensure his own information, Wu Kuang quickly confirmed his living arrangements for the next period.
Yes, it's not somewhere else, it's based on Fatty, and it's not just that Fatty will make some progress, but the Mechanical Heart might also create some more variations.
But, it's still the same problem.
Where's the money?
Just as he was about to make some big money, he suddenly became a well without water.
What can be done about this?
However, Su Ping soon discovered that the Mad Saint's arrival not only failed to solve his financial problems but also brought about some issues for the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits, which was already in a precarious financial situation.
It's not that his consumption of food and drink is beyond his means.
Rather, after his arrival, as expected, he's extremely curious about the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits and Fatty.
At the same time, after understanding Su Ping's dreams and the construction of the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits,
this person also offered some ideas:
"Su Ping, the mini gravity chamber I gave you last time can be fully integrated into the framework of your companion beast. Using gravity to cultivate and train your companion beast is a necessity for those beasts that focus on physical combat strength!
So one might not be enough. Given the scale of your Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits, you can easily set up ten of them. For the Mechanical Association, a finished gravity chamber like this, not a portable mini gravity chamber, only requires 15 million in costs.
After that, it only needs electrical resources to use, it's a million-fold profit!"
"Su Ping, the Mechanical Association has a special instrument room that I think is quite suitable for you here! It's called an electromagnetic neural-muscular stimulation chamber, used on those beasts that focus on physical combat.
It can use electromagnetic energy to stimulate the nerves and muscles, allowing these beasts to reach the limit of their realm or even break through it in a short time. Simultaneously, to a certain extent, it can accelerate the realm advancement of these beasts.
It's not expensive either. The Mechanical Association, as long as they're paid, can send people to assemble it, costing only 80 million. However, subsequent maintenance and care will incur some expenses..."
"Su Ping, recently, the people below have developed a mechanical virtual audio-visual manifestation machine. It can take some movies and TV series, and after playing them, completely immerse the viewer in the surrounding environment, allowing the viewer to fully enter a 4D perspective.
I personally watched it once, and it's indeed impressive, especially those works with special effects.
Although viewers can't influence the plot, it's more realistic. However, the cost is too high, so promoting it in cinemas nationwide is a bit unrealistic. But I think you can set one up in your Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits, it's not expensive. The accompanying machines and the decoration of the audio-visual room only cost 20 million.
Each movie and TV series needs to be re-engraved on a picture disc or film, which incurs some costs..."
Of course, there's even a more expensive complementary mechanical intelligent fantasy image generator, which can take some textual content and directly input it, allowing the mechanical intelligence to convert it into these types of works.
It's much better than those brain-dead directors' works. And the viewing experience is better too. But it's a bit expensive, costing several hundred million."
"Su Ping..."
If not for the occasional updates about Dong Muchun's situation, Su Ping would even suspect that this person initially worked in sales.
Damn, he's promoting the Mechanical Association's newly launched products, right?
Most importantly, it's indeed quite attractive.
It's just a pity that he can't solve one problem right now.
He's broke.
