Man on the ark, forced to become king

Chapter 150 Everyone Has Their Own Calculations

pat~

The pipe lay on the table, wisps of smoke rising into the air.

The study window was open, letting in direct sunlight that added warmth, which shimmered on the golden leaves on the desk.

Lungmen is located near Ursus, where the winter weather is still a bit chilly and the air is much drier.

However, the winter chill failed to penetrate the open window of the study; instead, the warmth from the study drifted out, melting the frost hidden on the eaves.

"Columbia, Rhine Life".

With his sharp dragon eyes narrowed, Wei Yanwu slowly uttered a few words, staring at the documents on the table, his mind racing.

Logically speaking, putting pressure on Columbia in the name of Lonza would undoubtedly violate certain unspoken rules and be considered an overstepping of boundaries. Regardless of whether the goal is achieved or not, Lonza would not gain any benefits afterward.

After all, it is a major power. Although it is still young, it has considerable influence in the international arena. Its weapons and equipment are sold all over the world, and it is impossible for them to lose face for no reason.

At this level, face becomes a very important issue, directly related to international status and influence.

Therefore, Colombia will inevitably launch countermeasures afterward. If they are ruthless, Lungmen will directly sever several trade chains, resulting in significant losses.

However, after receiving the message from Golden Tree, Wei Yanwu did it without hesitation.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster!

Since we've chosen the Golden Tree, we must take a clear stance and not hesitate in the slightest, or try to have our cake and eat it too, betting on both sides.

Lin Lu is a ruthless character who does things as she pleases, making her unpredictable.

For this kind of person, betrayal is the biggest taboo.

Conversely, when cooperating with such people, sincerity is the best approach.

Wei Yanwu believed that this act of assistance would bring the relationship between Longmen and the Golden Tree closer, and the benefits they would reap afterward would be substantial.

Offending Colombia is no big deal; it's just a matter of financial loss.

He, Wei, lacks everything except money!

It's just a few trade chains, isn't it?

If it's gone, it's gone. Even if trade with Colombia is completely cut off, Lungmen will only feel bad for a while, it won't really be a serious blow.

Offending Golden Tree, offending Lin Lu... Hehe.

Wei Yanwu never doubted that man's methods. Others said that blowing Longmen into the sky was just a threat, but Lin Lu would really do it and was capable of doing it, which was terrifying.

Moreover, even if he chooses to remain neutral on this matter, Colombia will not offer Lonza any benefits.

However, directly siding with Golden Tree and helping Lin Lu, while seemingly foolish, is actually the most beneficial.

What good is money? In extreme situations, it's just a pile of worthless paper!

In this world, the most important and core thing is always fists and force!

At crucial moments, money cannot buy the power to decide everything. It is possible to exchange some price for the friendship between Longmen and the Golden Tree. Considering the current strength of the Golden Tree, even the Great Yan Dynasty would have to give it some leeway. With the help of the Golden Tree, Longmen can be safe.

Moreover, the Golden Tree's military power is still expanding, with no end in sight.

The loss of a small amount of money is enough to teach a person with overwhelming martial arts skills a lesson; it seems like a worthwhile deal.

"Someone is coming."

After pondering for a long time, Wei Yanwu lightly tapped the table with his fingers. A flash of dark light appeared, and a figure in a black raincoat appeared like a ghost in the study, kneeling on one knee and bowing respectfully.

"Print out several copies of these documents and distribute them."

"Yes, Mr. Wei."

The man in the black raincoat took the documents and disappeared from the study.

Wei Yanwu was left alone in the room once again.

The extinguished pipe was lit again. Wei Yanwu sat down in the chair, closed his eyes, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and blew out a smoke ring.

Lungmen has already expressed its stance, so it's not advisable for them to take direct action now, lest they clash with the Colombian authorities and invite more trouble.

However, this does not mean he will quiet down.

Colombia is not a monolithic entity; on the contrary, due to its encouragement of technological and arms races, the internal power struggles between various major factions are extremely fierce.

As a leader in Colombian biological research, RheinLife has countless competitors eyeing it.

If they had the chance to obtain enough damaging information and evidence that could fundamentally shake the very existence of Rhine Lab, their old rivals would probably be laughing in their sleep.

Those greedy hyenas wouldn't let go of any opportunity to bite off a piece of flesh from Rhine Lab.

Not to mention, this time it wasn't just about biting off a piece of meat.

If handled well, it might be possible to swallow this coveted cake whole.

The countless profits are enough to drive those people crazy.

In this process, Longmen only needs to play a small guiding role to seize the opportunity to obtain huge profits far exceeding those of normal trade.

"I'm giving you the opportunity."

Amidst the smoke, Wei Yanwu's expression became somewhat hazy as he muttered to himself.

"Don't disappoint me."

-------------------------------------

"Boss! Boss! Are we having a party tonight? I've delivered so many orders today, I need to replenish my apple pie energy!"

At the End of the Earth Bar, Texas meticulously wiped the bar counter. Hearing the noisy commotion at the door, she seemed used to it and didn't even look up.

"The boss is dead drunk again; you can probably find him in the stairwell."

"Also, Exusiai, if you scare the guests away, that black-hearted penguin will have another excuse to deduct your wages."

The Black Wolf Girl spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, her expression completely calm, showing no awareness of speaking ill of her boss behind his back, appearing very adept at it.

"Ah... how could this be?"

Remule, who was wearing a jacket with the words "Penguin Logistics" printed on it, visibly deflated like a punctured balloon, and even her long, bright red hair that swayed behind her seemed to have dimmed considerably.

She dragged herself into the bar, muttering, "Who would come to a bar in broad daylight? There are practically no customers. Besides, why do we even bother opening during the day? Wouldn't it be better to just rest a bit..."

"Because we are Penguin Logistics, strictly speaking, we are not running a bar."

Texas skillfully answered Exusiai's minor complaint, casually tossing a clean wine glass that landed precisely on the shelf behind her, steady and secure.

"Ah, I know, I know, Texas, why are you acting like a mother hen? Can't you ever smile..."

puff~

The red-haired angel collapsed onto the sofa in the booth like a salted fish, wriggling to find a more comfortable position, unzipping her coat, and completely relaxing.

"I desperately want to get rid of this incredibly tacky outfit. My boss has such terrible taste."

"you sure?"

Texas looked up at her, a slight smile playing on her otherwise expressionless face. She teased, "I think if you went and asked, the boss would definitely grant your request. But next time, you'd probably be wearing a hip-hop style, off-the-beaten-path advertising jacket. Do you prefer that kind?"

"Hmm, then forget it. I suddenly think this dress is pretty good too."

The thought of having to deliver packages while wearing a jacket covered in incomprehensible paint and printed with exaggerated words, and being seen by everyone, made Exusiai shudder and shrink back in fear.

If that were the case, it would be too dark, and she couldn't accept it.

"The boss's art is too early for me; only he would wear that kind of thing."

"If you talk about the boss behind his back, you won't get your bonus this month!"

With a thud, the round penguin rolled down the stairs, startling Exusiai so much that she almost jumped off the sofa.

After recognizing who it was, she slumped back onto the sofa and gave an indifferent smirk.

"My prize money is long gone, you heartless penguin!"

"Show respect to your boss!"

The Emperor staggered to his feet, his appearance hardly intimidating. Exusiai, however, was completely unafraid. Not only was she unafraid, she boldly stretched out her arms and lifted her boss up like a plush toy, swaying him back and forth in mid-air.

"Give me back my bonus! Why am I the only one doing the work?!"

Having been in Lungmen for several days and working at Penguin Logistics for just as long, Exusiai feels this is a very interesting place and suits her well.

But why is it that this is supposed to be a big company, a large corporation, but in the end, she's the only one running around delivering packages?

And they'll even have their bonuses docked! So heartless, so incredibly heartless! This heartless penguin should be hung on a streetlight!

"Texas needs to watch the store, and I have a lot of important documents to process. Right now, Lungmen only has you as an employee. If you don't go, who will?"

The emperor spoke with righteous indignation, and then added, "Don't worry, I've already sent out the job posting, and people will be applying soon."

"Processing documents? Or are you hiding in the office secretly drinking?"

Exusiai looked the Emperor up and down suspiciously, her eyes full of distrust.

Texas just said that this guy was drunk and sleeping on the stairs. When did it become about handling important documents?

And he just rolled down the stairs, didn't he? Absolutely!

"Ahem, don't worry about the details. Why would I need to hide in my office and secretly drink on my own turf?"
