Chapter 147: Take What You Need
“Can you bring me once a month? Follow my arrangements?” Chen Hansheng asked with certainty.
He said cautiously, “Since it is a partnership, what do I need to do?”
Wang Wen gestured five with his full palm. “Prepare at least 500 tower climbers to create 100 teams. You will monitor my monthly supply requests as my personal resource team. You shall pay staff salaries and other perks.”
“Team?” Chen Hansheng was confused. “That’s okay. We can even do 5,000 men. However, their strengths will vary.”
Then, he lowered his voice. “Their tower levels may be lower as well.”
“Their tower level is not important. I have a way to deal with it.” When it came to professional issues, Wang Wen appeared majestic and confident. “You only need to do a good job in supervising and helping me get the items I specify. Every time I leave the tower, I will collect their statements. If I find any problem, I hope you can hold the person involved accountable to ensure my interests are not harmed. Otherwise, our cooperation will be suspended immediately.”
“Sure!” Chen Hansheng nodded.
“The two of you are talking about national issues,” Mi Lailai, who sat near him, yawned. “May I sleep? The long hour is bad for my skin!”
Chen Hansheng looked at her in embarrassment and then looked at Wang Wen eagerly.
Wang Wen smiled and said, “We are almost done talking. Let’s go back and rest.”
Mi Lailai, who was already feeling very sleepy, immediately jumped up from her chair. She stroked the hem of her skirt and swung her long legs as she took the lead to walk out of the door.
Chen Hansheng followed her, shaking Wang Wen’s hand. He sighed with gratitude and said, “No matter what the final result is, I have to thank you. No matter how I look at it, I feel that I have gained the upper hand in our cooperation. Those 500 tower climbers will improve rapidly and play a huge role with your help. However, you don’t want any benefits. It’s like helping our group train our team for free. I will remember this favor. If there’s a chance in the future, I will reward you with a title!”
Wang Wen said politely, “Don’t worry about the future. You can report it now. Just send me a top-quality optical computer.”
Deputy Chief Jiang, who had been pretending to eat hotpot but had been eavesdropping, spat the mouthful of soup back into his bowl.
The last time Wang Wen asked him to buy an optical computer, he had already understood the prices of various grades in detail.
That was not something that most people could afford.
The most common and lowest-quality ones started with tens of thousands of points.
Those that could perform slightly better immediately surpassed 100,000 points.
The highest-quality ones were even more expensive. Those were not sold in the regional specialty stores. If one wanted to go to the headquarters to place an order, one had to first check before placing an order. Those with low assets were not allowed to place an order. Clearly, they did not believe anyone could afford it unless they paid the full price in advance.
There was no need to guess the price of the highest-quality ones.
Just the high-matching models in the regional specialty stores alone were worth millions of points each.
How could it be lower?
Deputy Chief Jiang thought, ‘Is Wang Wen crazy? Or is he treating the Boai group like a pig to be slaughtered?’
As the deputy chief of the Regional Security Department, he naturally knew about the third consortium’s CEO, Chen Hansheng.
When Wang Wen answered the phone earlier, he had little doubt that it was a show for him. Only when Chen Hansheng came to his door did he believe that Wang Wen had changed.
No matter how awesome he was, he could not just say that he had an optical computer, right?
Those people were not stupid!
Would they spend millions or tens of millions just to please someone?
Wang Wen had only reached the 300th floor.
Did they need to work hard to please him?
One should not mess up a good thing because of greed!
Deputy Chief Jiang had been eavesdropping. He could vaguely hear a few words and guessed that the two people were discussing a partnership.
In his opinion, it was a good thing to be able to cooperate with the third consortium. It would be a pity if it were messed up.
He could not help but feel anxious for Wang Wen.
He was afraid that Chen Hansheng would turn on him.
Just when he was extremely anxious.
Chen Hansheng, who was opposite him, asked with a surprised face, “Really? Ony that? Are you sure that you can use ordinary items in the tower? Those are things that can be bought with money!”
Pfft! Not far away, Deputy Chief Jiang spat the food in his mouth again.
Under the astonished gazes of the guards beside him, he lowered his head to look at the food. Then, he put down the bowl and spoon with a regretful expression.
Wang Wen smiled and said to Chen Hansheng, “Of course, it saves me a trip.”
He knew what Chen Hansheng meant. He knew that Chen Hansheng felt he had taken advantage of him and wanted to compensate him through other means.
However, in Wang Wen’s eyes, that was business. There was no debt or favor. It was already good enough that everyone could fulfill the contract.
His expectations for humanity were meager.
All the so-called cooperation was just to save him time collecting resources from the lower levels so that he could focus on the higher levels without any distractions.
Otherwise, he could only search the lower floors himself. Not only was it inefficient, but it also wasted his time in the tower.
Like the trip not long ago, he climbed the tower while looking for tools. He only went up to the 100th floor for a few days, and in the end, he reached the same number after sprinting at full speed for more than ten hours. It was still a hundred floors from the 200th to the 300th floor.
There was a big difference between the two.
If he could find a qualified partner to help him save time in collecting tools and resources, then it was still unclear who was the one who took advantage of whom.
On the other hand, since the other party took the initiative to express his gratitude, how could an old demon like Wang Wen let that go?
It was better to use the items outside the tower to easily offset it than to let the other party pay back the pain in the future.
On the one hand, it was to make the passive active.
On the other hand, it was to pay back the hatred with pain and offset the kindness easily. It was clear that they had already settled the favor, but it was as if they had accepted a more significant favor. The other party would try their best to maintain the cooperation.
At least, they would be more attentive than Wang Wen.
After all, the favor owed had already been settled.
All the remaining ones would be treated as the income the other party deserved. They were more afraid of Wang Wen terminating the partnership.
That was another way of looking at the sunken cost.
Chen Hansheng, who had taken the initiative, first used the corner of his eye to glance at the strange creature in the hall that had been eating, vomiting, eating, and vomiting. Then, he looked at Wang Wen, who was smiling. He could not help but give him a thumbs up and said, “Mr. Wang, you are too generous! It’s too late today, but?I guarantee the goods will be delivered by three o’clock tomorrow afternoon. I’ll contact you then.”
Wang Wen nodded with a smile and sent the satisfied Chen Hansheng away.
Deputy Chief Jiang walked to the door with a complicated expression. He looked at Wang Wen and asked, “Why?”
“Why what?” Wang Wen did not understand him.
“What kind of collaboration did you two discuss?” Deputy Chief Jiang’s face looked doubtful. “Why is he trying so hard to please you?”
Wang Wen smiled.
He thought for a moment and said, “It’s the same as the two of us back then.”
He was not lying.
It was indeed the same.
It was a win-win situation.
However, some people felt that they had taken advantage of Wang Wen, while others felt that Wang Wen had taken advantage of them.
Actually, there was no such thing as an advantage.
Everyone was just cooperating.
Back then, the Regional Security Department could not reach a consensus, which was a loss for both sides.
After they had worked together, it was beneficial for both sides.
Adults had no right or wrong; they only took what they needed.
