I have a space station

“First of all, the focus of this project is not on the ground, but underground!” Dongfang Chen dropped a bombshell.

“Oh? What's the story behind that?” Niu Xingwang asked anxiously.

“Mr. Niu, don't you think it's strange that we're donating 5 billion to develop this project and asking for nothing in return?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“To be honest, this is also what I've been racking my brains about. Mr. Dongfang, please don't be offended, but I'll be blunt. Businessmen seek profit. Who would just throw money in like that? No one's money comes from thin air, don't you think?” Niu Xingwang said.

Niu Xingwang dared to say such things because he was certain that the money was definitely not donated by Dongfang Chen himself. Dongfang Chen heard this, but didn't expose it, as the misunderstanding was even better.

“Of course! It's 5 billion! Not 50 yuan. Throwing it in the water would still make a big splash. But I can only say so much for now. Mr. Niu just needs to remember the following points, and everything will be fine.” Dongfang Chen smoothly inserted the requirements for the base's construction.

At this moment, Niu Xingwang really wanted to take out a small notebook to write it down, and hurriedly asked:

“I wonder what those points are?”

“The first thing is that the construction of the foundation must not be shoddy. This is the key.” Dongfang Chen said, staring at him.

“Mr. Dongfang, don't worry, if anyone dares to cut corners, I, Lao Niu, will be the first to not let them off!” Niu Xingwang solemnly guaranteed.

“That's good. The second thing is that the construction of the foundation should start as early as possible, and the construction speed should be as fast as possible. Even the blueprints for the above-ground part can be temporarily put aside, and focus on the foundation first.” Dongfang Chen dropped another bombshell.

“Ah? This, this, this… Mr. Dongfang, isn't this too risky? What if…” Niu Xingwang was shocked. What was this about? Who would operate like this?

Before Niu Xingwang could finish speaking, Dongfang Chen interrupted:

“Mr. Niu, let me reveal a little more information. Actually, the blueprints for the foundation and the blueprints for the above-ground buildings have nothing to do with each other. You don't need to worry about the details. If something happens, it has nothing to do with you. You are just building according to the blueprints.”

If Dongfang Chen didn't point this out, it was estimated that Niu Xingwang wouldn't dare to do it with peace of mind. However, this half-said, half-unsaid approach confused Niu Xingwang.

Niu Xingwang was completely shocked. This Dongfang Chen must have great power behind him. An ordinary person couldn't handle this situation.

“Then… then okay!” Since he didn't have to take responsibility, he would do whatever he was told. However, he had to be careful: the blueprints must have complete seals, so he wouldn't be blamed in the end.

“The third thing is to build the surrounding walls before construction. The blueprints for the walls are also included. This is also a top priority. You haven't seen the blueprints, so let me emphasize it. This wall is not an ornament. It's ten meters high and all poured with reinforced concrete. The foundation of the wall must also be strictly in accordance with the blueprints.” Dongfang Chen emphasized.

Under normal circumstances, the surrounding walls are only used temporarily and will be demolished after completion. So a simple job is enough. If he didn't emphasize it, Dongfang Chen was worried that Niu Xingwang wouldn't take it seriously. This wall will be the first line of defense against zombies in the future, and it must not be sloppy.

“Ah? This, this, this… Wouldn't that turn it into a fortress?” Niu Xingwang instantly woke up.

“Yes, it's a fortress!”

Since Niu Xingwang had already guessed it, he didn't need to beat around the bush anymore. Rather than letting him think wildly, it was better to give him a hint.

“Ah?” Niu Xingwang was so frightened that he stood up directly.

Now is a peaceful society, and you want to build a fortress! This is no longer a question of how much money is involved, it could lead to beheading! Who would dare to do it!

“What's wrong? Why such a strong reaction?” Dongfang Chen thought when he saw Niu Xingwang's expression.

“What's wrong with you? You're so jumpy, you scared me.” Dongfang Chen pretended to be calm and said.

“No! Mr. Dongfang, building a fortress is a different matter! You can't be unaware of that, can you?” Niu Xingwang was anxious and hurriedly asked, regardless of what could be said and what couldn't be said.

“Look at what you're saying, how could I not be clear about the pros and cons? Do I not want to live?” Dongfang Chen rolled his eyes at him and replied calmly. He thought that this person had lived his life in vain.

Niu Xingwang also thought that what he said made sense, calmed down, and sat down again.

“Think about it, since I dare to take out 5 billion to do this, how could there be no arrangements behind it?”

This 'behind' him completely intimidated him. The 'behind' that Dongfang Chen said referred to the things that would happen later, so he definitely wasn't lying.

But Niu Xingwang's understanding was that it referred to the people behind him. He completely misunderstood.

As for whether Dongfang Chen deliberately created this misunderstanding or not, only he himself knew.

“Mr. Niu, you can do it boldly, and if something happens, just push it to us. It definitely won't have anything to do with you. But if you don't do it according to the requirements on the blueprints, then it has nothing to do with me.” Dongfang Chen gave him an appropriate scare.

Niu Xingwang slumped in his chair, not knowing what to say. Even though he had experienced so many ups and downs over the years, this was the first time he had encountered such a big thing. He couldn't help but regret participating in this matter. But the contract had already been signed, and it was too late to regret it now.

After dinner, Dongfang Chen came to Zhang Ge's store again.

He was here again today to make another effort to see how many people Zhang Ge could recruit for him. If it really didn't work out, he would have to think of other ways.

Another thing was that it was too rushed during the day. After picking up the goods, the payment hadn't been settled yet. He didn't dare to delay this matter, as it would make people feel uneasy.

Because he had called in advance, Zhang Ge was waiting in the store, but he looked preoccupied.

“Zhang Ge, why do you look so preoccupied?” Dongfang Chen walked in.

“Xiao Chen, please take the goods in the store back!” Zhang Ge said.

“What do you mean? Zhang Ge? You're running a business, how can you sell something and then take it back?” Dongfang Chen pretended not to know.

“Xiao Chen, it's useless for you to have those things. I know you want me to help, but there's no need to do that. You should save your money.” Zhang Ge said.

This was a misunderstanding on his part.

Dongfang Chen really didn't need to buy the goods in his store, and he was really forced into a hurry during the day. But he didn't care about those goods or that money. He had already spent so much effort to move them to the warehouse, how could he spit them out? That was impossible! Even a mosquito is still meat.

“Zhang Ge, you're wrong, I really need them. As for why I need them, it's not convenient to say now. Think about it, if I didn't need them, would I buy so many things online?” Dongfang Chen gave him a reassurance.

Zhang Ge thought about it and it made sense. Since he really needed them, Zhang Ge didn't hesitate.

“Okay then!”

“Zhang Ge, calculate how much money it is in total, and I'll pay you now.”

A few minutes later, the money and goods were exchanged.

This matter was considered over.

Next, Dongfang Chen began to talk about recruiting people.

“Zhang Ge, you've also seen that I really need a lot of help. Even if you can't find them, I'll definitely need to recruit through other channels. We've known each other for a long time and know each other well, so I hope you can help me make some connections.” Dongfang Chen said.

“It's precisely because we've known each other for a long time and know each other well that I want to advise you. Although I don't know how you suddenly became so rich, we're just ordinary people, and ordinary people have ordinary ways of living. Don't spend all your money in one go.” Zhang Ge earnestly advised.

“How is that possible? Zhang Ge, this isn't just my own business. You saw that Mr. Niu who came in the afternoon, right?” Dongfang Chen changed the subject.

“I saw him, what's wrong?” Zhang Ge replied.

“Do you know who he is?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“Who is he?” Zhang Ge asked.

“Do you know Dingxin Real Estate? He's the big boss of Dingxin Real Estate.” Dongfang Chen smiled.

“Oh my god! A big shot!” Zhang Ge exclaimed. No one in Binjiang City didn't know about Dingxin Real Estate.

“So, do you think I'm the one who's paying the money?” Dongfang Chen looked at him and smiled.

There was no way, it was too much effort to speak plainly, and he didn't have the time now. Perhaps a kind lie would be more useful.

“I was just saying, it's been making me uneasy all day. So that's what's going on!” Zhang Ge immediately felt relaxed.

“So, if there's no problem with the job, hurry up and recruit people! Or how about this, since the goods in your store have been cleared out, come and help me starting tomorrow.” Dongfang Chen simply took everything.

“Okay!” Zhang Ge finally agreed.

“But those comrades of mine are a bit difficult, they all have families.” Zhang Ge said.

“How about this, isn't Huishan turning 12 this year? Let's pick a date and hold a twelfth birthday banquet for the child, what do you think? Let them bring their families, and we'll book all the plane tickets and train tickets for them. After they come, we'll talk about work, and then see what everyone thinks. If they want to stay, we'll pay them wages and provide room and board. If they don't want to stay, we'll pay for their return travel expenses. It's also the summer vacation, so let's just come and get together and travel. Just say that your company is paying for this, so everyone won't feel burdened.” Dongfang Chen thought for a while and said.

Zhang Ge pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

“Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Zhang Ge. This matter must be done quickly, I don't have that much time to wait. When the time comes, calculate how many people there are in total, and I'll transfer the funds to you.” Dongfang Chen said.

If this matter could be accomplished, he would have completed another task.
