Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 842 Acceleration due to loss of control

Thomas Gilbert was quite surprised by Chen Yan's words. As one of the few people who knew that Chen Yan uploaded files on the strike simulator forum, Thomas Gilbert clearly knew what kind of person Chen Yan was. According to the previous Judging from the situation, Chen Yan shouldn't and won't say these words.

Chen Yan no longer entangled in the issue of Andil O.R. Genosen, and Thomas Gilbert did not want to continue talking about topics unrelated to his current interests, so he only said to Chen Yan:

"Not only can I guarantee that this workshop will not be threatened by your peers, but I can also guarantee that you don't need to pay protection fees to anyone, as well as the personal safety of all personnel in the workshop."

Although Thomas Gilbert has only been here for more than a week, he is already familiar enough with the gangs in the mechanical hive:
"The emergence of a new workshop will definitely attract frame-ups and blows from colleagues. The officials in the logistics center don't care about this matter, and the gangs are the ones who come forward."

After finishing the second sentence, Chen Yan still did not respond, but only maintained a deliberate attitude.

Thomas Gilbert knew in his heart that although Chen Yan had climbed a high branch, it was probably only a matter of interest, so although the other party promised him some convenience, it could not guarantee the safety of him and his company.

Excellent opportunity!
He continued:
"If you are not covered, they will come to your door and tell you that this block is taken care of by them for the people, and they provide security, but now the mechanical hive manpower is very expensive, and the security work is dangerous, so they can't do it. Volunteer, so you need to pay a part of [Security Fee] to get the security facilities they provide.

Sounds sweet and kind, doesn't it?

You must also understand that this [security fee] is actually a protection fee.

The reason why they want to save face is because the gang bosses got wind of it a few days ago, so they are very low-key.

If this was put before, it would be to break into your office, put a gun on your forehead and grab it.

After explaining the reason for their visit, they will continue to tell you: the world is in chaos now, if you don’t pay the protection fee, in case your workshop is smashed, or catches fire, or the workshop staff disappears inexplicably, they are in the security business, will feel very sorry.

Of course, these things were done by another group of them when you refused to pay the protection fee. "

Thomas Gilbert observed the situation and knew that Chen Yan accepted the words seven points, so he continued while the heat was hot:

"If you have a strong social relationship, a gang background, or someone in the logistics center, they will not let it go easily-looking at your background, they will not do things very well, but towards you Throwing dung on the beehive in the workshop, or a group of people bluffing around the door of your shop playing cards to scare away your potential customers, they must be able to do it.

This kind of thing is disgusting, but it didn’t cause bad social impact, so even if you go to the security department of the mechanical hive, it’s probably just a symbolic dispersal of them once, and then you won’t care about it—they didn’t break the law either, How can the worker bees have so much leisure time to guard your shop?There are tens of thousands of shops in the mechanical hive! "

Chen Yan frowned and said:
"So disgusting."

Thomas Gilbert hummed twice:
"The more disgusting thing is yet to come. If you pay the protection fee honestly, it's fine. Once you violate their wishes, they will attack you personally-they won't be tough on you, but they will prepare all kinds of protection fees. Immortal dance in the form of immortality, let you get debts that can't be exchanged, let you owe favors that you can't pay back."

He said this, paused, and then went on at once:

"I've also heard that there are strong-willed bosses, and I don't understand their ways, but if you are strong-willed, will everyone around you be strong-willed?
If you are disobedient, they will attack those close to you one by one, as long as you break through one, you have to be honest. "

Chen Yan thought about it:
"You can handle this?"

Thomas Gilbert sneered:
"That's what I did to make a fortune!"

Chen Yan nodded:

"Beyond that, I want you to be in business."

Thomas Gilbert was a little at a loss and hesitated:
"But I don't have any extra money to invest..."

Chen Yan said:

"The mechanical hive will promulgate the new "Company Law" soon. I will invest in capital, and you will invest in technology. As for the technology, you will know later."

Thomas Gilbert didn't know what Chen Yan meant, nor why Chen Yan insisted on giving him such a big favor... No, it's not just a favor.

Between the ups and downs of his emotions, his thinking was a little unstable, and he asked:
"Are you sure this workshop can make money?"

Chen Yan nodded:

"I might not be sure about other things, but I'm sure about this."

He pointed to the large and quiet automated assembly line:

"I will transform these assembly lines so that it has the function of transforming simple silicon into cylindrical single crystal silicon, and can process these cylindrical single crystal silicon to form single crystal silicon wafers after ink grinding, polishing and slicing. , which I call the [wafer]."

He pointed to the goods that had been unloaded from the logistics vehicle and said:

"These are the raw materials from which [wafers] are made."

"Through certain technology and equipment, [the wafer] will be processed into some kind of ultra-high-precision integrated circuit, which is the chip-the core of all information processing in your mobile phone."

Except for the last sentence, Thomas Gilbert did not understand the whole thing.

But that's enough, he already understood what Chen Yan was going to do, and expressed absolute doubts about it:

"Just relying on these two assembly lines? Going to compete with the big companies officially supported by the empire to compete for the high-tech product market?"

Chen Yan said:

"Yes... there is a lot to prepare before this, but I believe I can handle it."

Thomas Gilbert looked at him:
"I think you must know how many components a computer has and how difficult it is to produce each component, right?
I think you must know that you can't even get the raw materials for those components, right?
You must know that even if you have the raw materials, you can't hire developers for those components, right?
The empire has been preparing for decades, pouring decades of talent reserves, and relying on the power of the legendary Outer Gods to figure things out. You must know how difficult it is, right? "

Chen Yan nodded calmly:

"I know, I will take it step by step."

Thomas Gilbert closed his eyes hard, adjusted his mentality, opened his eyes, and patted Chen Yan's shoulder:

"I believe you will do it!"

Chen Yan nodded and said:
"I will be very busy in the next few days, so I want you to do the job of recruiting assembly line employees."

Thomas Gilbert really couldn't squeeze out a smile, so he only responded in a barely calm tone:
"You've found the right person."

Chen Yan didn't follow up and mentioned another thing:

"There is another person I want to introduce to you. He is a salesman, but I don't know if he is reliable or not."

Thomas Gilbert nodded and said:

"Just send me the phone number, and I will contact him now."

……

……

At this moment.

Unknown place, unknown person.

Just like that, Chen Yan was put in the animal skin bag, and was carried all the time through the snow in the forest. He couldn't see the outside of the animal skin bag, he could only hear the sound of footsteps stepping on the snow and occasionally breaking branches.

This forest of birch trees seems to have no end.

He felt as if a day and a night had passed, but what was strange was that he was not hungry at all, and his spirit did not become weak.

The young Thedanios was wrapped in his neckline and slept peacefully. The sound of even breathing and steady heartbeat represented its revived life. As for why it hadn't woken up until now, Chen Yan couldn't figure it out at all. It is clear—he cannot have synesthesia with Tydanios, and the power in this small body is far beyond his imagination.

The bad news was that the owl who looked like Klein Justus walked steadily, and even after walking for a day and a night, the frequency of his steps did not change at all.

Looking at the tiger's head in his arms, Chen Yan was full of doubts, not knowing when this road will reach the end.

……

……

At this very moment, in the Mechanical Hive Area A, in an unremarkable family tavern.

Listening to the voice on the phone, Ah Wei frowned unconsciously.

"Mr. Gilbert, I am indeed in business, but it is a real estate business. I have no idea what is going on with electronic waste."

"Huh? Chen Yan? Who is Chen Yan? I'm really sorry, I don't know this person~"

"Chen Yan wants me to help with something? No...Mr. Gilbert, I'm really sorry, I really don't know what you're talking about."

"I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, I still have something to do, let's contact another day!"

Ah Wei hung up the phone and quickly called Chen Yan.

When the phone was dialed, Ah Wei quickly said after confirming that it was Chen Yan's voice:
"Boss, a guy named Thomas Gilbert called me just now and said he wanted me to work with him."

"Why do you call me the boss? Because I have always regarded you as my boss in my heart! I..."

"Cough, I know."

"Ah? Is that Thomas Gilbert really yours? It's embarrassing, it really flooded the Dragon King Temple, and my family doesn't know my family anymore!"

"Oh, okay! Boss, don't worry, I will definitely not let him directly contact the agents below. Those people's identities are sensitive, and it's enough for me to know."

"By the way, I want to tell the boss a piece of good news—the batch of goods I got from the boss last time are all sold! The brothers below are so awesome!"

"Another piece of good news is that the tie gang's business is gradually weakening. Their people are not strong enough, and they can't sell anything!"

"Huh? What? Take the initiative to give up the market?!"

"This!"

Listening to Chen Yan's voice on the phone, Ah Wei became more and more nervous:

"Have you started to rectify the market? The worker bees in the logistics center have rectified the market a month ago, and directly wiped out the entire business chain of a big business. The people who were arrested made Days Island Prison full, and there were no new prisoners. A place to live! If we come again now, we will have to run away..."

"Huh? Boss, you..."

"Of course I have confidence in the boss! Isn't this just waiting for the boss's goods! Now that the electronic products from outside can't come in, we can eat as much as we want!"

"Okay! I'll contact Mr. Gilbert directly!"

"Goodbye, boss!"

After hanging up the phone, Ah Wei held the phone, almost unable to control his consciousness.

When he recovered from the sluggishness caused by fear, when he refocused his eyes on the screen of the mobile phone, he saw that the passenger ship ticket booking page for Days Island Wharf was being displayed on the screen, and he had already In fear, he subconsciously placed an order for a boat ticket from Days Island to Yanan City.

Just his personal ticket order.

The order has not been paid.

He slowly picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank a whole glass of cold and bitter rye wine, and gradually calmed down.

Not to mention wealth and wealth, just talking about himself—if he returned to Yanan City, would he still go to those sweatshops to do simple physical labor where the head can be seen at a glance?

Staying on Days Island, staying in the mechanical hive, he not only owns his own business, but also has a very promising prospect - he is with a promising and humane boss, and although he is not particularly close, he has A brother who can help when something happens, the most important thing is to have a wife and a child who is still in the womb...

Every time he thinks of Tang Ya and the unborn child, Ah Wei feels his whole body quiet down. Even though he has been busy all day and suffered from the worst clients, he is still full of energy, as if he has inexhaustible energy. Useless emotions.

Tang Ya can't live without me, and the child can't live without his father.

I can't live without money.

After these thoughts appeared in his mind, Ah Wei canceled the ticket order, switched to the phone page smoothly, and dialed Thomas Gilbert.

"Mr. Gilbert! I'm so sorry! I just had a dealer with a sensitive identity around me, so it's really inconvenient to admit my relationship with Boss Chen!"

"What dealer? Hey, it's shameful to be in our business. Dealers are always risky to do things. If I say his name, I will lose my morality!"

"Meet me in the M-3 area? No problem! Then how about we make an appointment at nine o'clock tonight? I'm really busy during the day..."

"Okay! We have an appointment, at nine o'clock tonight, at Sanhetai Bar in District M-3, see you there!"

……

……

After Chen Yan left the M-3 area, she first called Klein:

"Can you arrange for me to meet William Master?"

"Well, it's about our business."

"It couldn't have been done without him."

"Well, well, okay, I'll wait for your news."

He hung up the phone, went back to the boat, found Osmandis who was helping Nuomiguo to sort out the labor survey papers on the island chain, pulled him to the bottom cabin, and said to him:
"I'm going to see William Master soon, and as agreed last time, I will look him in the eye."

"Do you have anything to tell me?"
