Immortal Master Invincible

Chapter 1158 Alien World (66)

After working all afternoon, Pang Xiaonan remembered that an important matter had not been implemented, so he called Mr. Wang, "Old Wang, where are you?"

"Where can I be alone? At home." Mr. Wang replied with a smile.

"Really? I invite you to dinner. Come to my house at 7 o'clock in the evening. I will ask my distant cousin to prepare a table of good dishes. Do you have time?" The councilor can do it quickly, and the matter of the Wehring virus should be discussed with Councilor Wang.

"Okay, you kid, do you have something to ask me again? Or is it about your distant cousin?" Councilor Wang knew that Pang Xiaonan would go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, so there must be something to do when he treats guests.

"Hey, you'll know when you come. By the way, let's have two drinks tonight. I don't have any wine. You can bring some wine." other people's wine.

"No problem, haha, I had a drink with you last time, and I'm still reminiscing about it now." Since Mr. Wang got better, he has inexplicably wanted to drink, but he couldn't find anyone to drink with him.

"Then it's settled. See you at 7 o'clock in the evening." Pang Xiaonan hung up the phone and called Xiong Junjun, "Little girl, you can make two more dishes in the evening. I have guests, about 7 o'clock Serving, by the way, mainly to prepare some appetizers."

It is now the end of September, and the sky in Huahai City is getting darker. Pang Xiaonan looked at the time and thought it was too early to go back to eat. He couldn't help remembering that he still had a ball at the blacksmith's shop, so he drove the car Drive towards the old blacksmith shop in the old city.

Turning and turning, Pang Xiaonan found the blacksmith's shop based on his memory. When he entered the door, the red fire was the most eye-catching. The old blacksmith was still in the shop, but he didn't forge, and was sitting on a small bench smoking.

"Old man, work is over?" Pang Xiaonan approached the old man affectionately, found a chair and sat down.

"It was time to call it a day, but if you called to pick up something, I'll wait for you here." The old man looked at Pang Xiaonan kindly, just like looking at his grandson.

"Oh? Do you finish work so early every day? It seems to be early?" Pang Xiaonan thought that people in business would not work from nine to five like wage earners, and their time was at their own discretion. later.

"Do you think I blacksmith purely to make money?" The old man continued to smoke, the choking smell of tobacco permeated the air, Pang Xiaonan frowned involuntarily after taking a puff, the old man knocked the ashes of tobacco on the ground "I blacksmith first to pass the time, and second, to earn some living expenses. If I earn enough, I have to enjoy life. Usually, I close the stall at five or six o'clock. In the early days, it is after four o'clock. delicious."

"He really enjoys life," Pang Xiaonan looked at the old man enviously and said, "I really envy you."

The old man took out the shredded tobacco from the cigarette pouch again, put the shredded tobacco in the cigarette holder, lit it with a kerosene lighter, and took a deep breath, "If you don't know how to think about it at my age, won't you die of depression?"

"Do your children and grandchildren care about you?" Pang Xiaonan yearned for the old man's comfortable life, so he couldn't help asking a few more questions.

"The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, thank God they don't need me to care about them." The old man got up from the bench, walked to the corner of the blacksmith shop, and then kicked out a ball with his foot.

The whole body of this ball is black and shiny, and it rolls very rhythmically, unlike the dull sound made by a solid iron ball rolling.The old man dribbled the ball with one foot, just like a football player dribbles with the inside of his foot, and soon brought the iron ball to Pang Xiaonan.

Pang Xiaonan looked at the iron ball, touched it with his hand, and the icy chill came from his fingertips.

The old man sat down again and said, "This iron ball is quite heavy, can you carry it back by yourself?"

Pang Xiaonan smiled and said, "Old man, I have my own way, so you don't have to worry about it. Well, I'll transfer the money to you, so you can go home for dinner without delay."

Pang Xiaonan bent down and stretched out his hands, his palms were tightly attached to the iron ball, then he took a deep breath, exerted strength with his arms, gave a deep drink, and hugged the iron ball vigorously.

The old man looked sideways slightly, and was greatly surprised by Pang Xiaonan's arm strength. No matter how you say it, this iron ball weighs at least 200 kilograms, and Pang Xiaonan can hold such a heavy object without any external force, just relying on two arms. Get up, that can be said to be divine power.

The old man watched Pang Xiaonan walk out of the blacksmith shop with the iron ball in his arms. In fact, he was a little worried. It was one thing to be able to hold the iron ball, but another thing to be able to walk around. The iron ball would hit the ground, and it would not be a big deal to smash the ground out of a hole, but if it hit Pang Xiaonan's foot, it would definitely be the result of a broken bone.

But the old man's worry was a little superfluous, Pang Xiaonan held the ball in both hands, walked steadily, and walked a long way until he put the iron ball firmly in the shepherd's trunk.

Pang Xiaonan exhaled deeply, the journey was indeed not easy, the iron ball of several hundred kilograms, although his strength was amazing, it also consumed a lot of energy.

Driving the car, Pang Xiaonan drove through the streets of the old city quickly. It was already the rush hour for getting off work. No matter how good Pang Xiaonan's driving skills were, he was blocked by the congested traffic for a long time, waiting for him to rush back to Hailong Community , is almost 7 o'clock.

Pang Xiaonan parked the shepherd in the garage, then entered the house from the garage, carried the iron ball into the exercise room, washed his hands, and entered the living room.

Mr. Wang was already sitting on the sofa. Pang Xiaonan went straight over and said hello, "Old Wang, you came early. How are you? You're hungry."

Councilor Wang rubbed his stomach, nodded and said, "Indeed, I'm a little hungry. Our family usually eats dinner at five or six o'clock. Today, I ate an hour or two late in order to wait for you to come back for dinner."

At this time, Xiong Junjun came out of the kitchen and said, "Brother, Mr. Wang has been waiting for a long time, you go to the table, and I will cook."

After speaking, Xiong Junjun went into the kitchen by himself. Councilor Wang pointed to Xiong Junjun's back and said softly to Pang Xiaonan: "You are a good cousin, she is not your childhood sweetheart, is she? She looks good, cooks well, and can read. You kid is really beautiful and blessed."

"Superficial!" Pang Xiaonan glared at Mr. Wang, "What baby girl, she's just a younger sister, let's go, let's go to the table for dinner, hey, have you brought any wine?"

"Bring it!" Mr. Wang pointed to the table and said, "Hey, it's already on the table. I said, I brought two bottles of wine today, enough for you to drink."

Pang Xiaonan stood up and said, "You wine lunatic, the two of us drink two bottles of wine, how can we finish it? You drink so much, don't get drunk at my house and refuse to leave, I can't carry you. "

Mr. Wang also stood up and said, "If you can't finish drinking, keep it. There will be a long time in the future. There will always be a day when you finish drinking. I don't want to carry two bottles of wine every time I come."

The two sat at the dining table together, and Mr. Wang greeted Xiong Junjun to the kitchen, "Junjun, come and eat too."

Xiong Junjun turned her head and smiled, and said, "Mr. Wang, I still have to cook a few dishes. You can eat first."

Pang Xiaonan also greeted: "Old Wang, don't be too polite, let's eat first, my sister is fine, come on."

Pang Xiaonan's eyes looked at the two bottles of good wine, which were still the old Jingxiang from that day. Pang Xiaonan unpacked the package and opened the lid, and the strong aroma of the wine spread immediately. Have you saved a lot of wine?"

Councilor Wang nodded and said, "I have saved a lot, and I can't remember exactly how many pieces. Anyway, I have a wine cellar, which is full of wine. Some of them are paid off, and some are gifts."

Pang Xiaonan pointed at Mr. Wang, his eyes were full of contempt, "I knew that your wine must have been corrupted and bribed."

"Hey," Mr. Wang twisted his neck and retorted, "What is corruption and bribery? It's called reciprocity. Let me do you a favor. You give me a few bottles of wine. Isn't that too much?"

"Well," Pang Xiaonan looked around, but didn't find the wine glass, "the reason is the reason, the words are not the words, then it becomes a naked interest relationship." Then he shouted into the kitchen, "little sister, Bring two wine glasses, those who drink white wine should have them in the cupboard."

Councilor Wang lowered his voice and asked Pang Xiaonan: "Do you really treat your cousin as a nanny?"

Pang Xiaonan gave him a blank look: "What is a nanny? She should do these things, okay? Just like when you ask someone for wine, you say it's reciprocity. I'll help her study. Isn't it a reciprocity when she does some housework?" ?”

"I didn't ask anyone else for wine, it was offered by others." Councilor Wang took the wine glass brought by Xiong Junjun and said with a smile, "Junjun, come and eat."

Xiong Junjun replied: "I still have a green vegetable that I haven't fried, Mr. Wang, you all eat and drink first, I will be ready soon."

Pang Xiaonan poured wine for the two of them, then raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's go first."

Mr. Wang quickly waved his hand and said: "Wait a minute, my stomach is growling. I came to you and drank another cup of tea. Now my stomach is flat. If I drink this cup of wine, I'm afraid it will hurt my stomach. I'll lay the groundwork first."

Pang Xiaonan smashed his mouth and said: "You are famous, but you are very good at keeping healthy. You really shouldn't drink on an empty stomach, especially at your age. Come, eat first."

Xiong Junjun prepared the rice and put it on the dining table when serving the dishes, and the staple food, besides the rice, was also on the table.

Mr. Wang picked up a steamed bun, took a hard bite, and said, "Well, yes, I haven't eaten this old noodle steamed bun for a long time, and it still tastes the same as before. I said you are really lucky, Xiong Junjun. Your food arrangements are also very good, right?"

"Where?" Pang Xiaonan grabbed a golden fried chicken leg and gnawed on it. "You think I really treat her as a nanny. She usually has to go to school, so she comes back to cook for me on weekends. Besides, she You have to eat too, I paid for the food."

"Don't get cheap and act good. According to you, those servants in my family have to pay for the food when they eat mine and use mine. I'm being taken advantage of?" Mr. Wang swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns, choking , quickly took a sip of the soup, the soup is taro rice soup made by Xiong Junjun, this kind of soup can only be made in the poor areas of Huaguo, because taro and rice soup are common things in the countryside, so the cost of making it is very low, but But it tastes very good.

"Hmm! This soup is really delicious!" Mr. Wang suddenly forgot what he wanted to say to Pang Xiaonan, and just lamented the deliciousness of this soup, "What kind of soup is this? I have never tasted it before. It is smooth, tender and fragrant. And sweet!"

Pang Xiaonan glanced at the soup bowl and said, "Taro rice soup, why, haven't you tried it?"

Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "So it's taro, no wonder it's so slippery, but ordinary taro soup is not so slippery."

Pang Xiaonan rubbed the chicken bones and said, "It looks like you haven't experienced hardship. We often make soup with taro in the countryside, and it's so smooth when it's paired with rice soup."

While talking, Xiong Junjun put the last plate of garlic lettuce on the dining table. Councilor Wang waved and said, "Come on, Junjun, let's sit down and eat together!"

However, Xiong Junjun took some food from the rice bowl and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm going to eat in the living room. I won't disturb your chatting. Let's watch TV by the way."

Councilor Wang turned to Pang Xiaonan and said, "Xiong Junjun is so sensible, even I like it when I look at it. Don't let her down."

"What are you thinking? She's still in her third year of high school. Okay, okay, let's not talk about her. I have business to talk to you." Pang Xiaonan raised his glass and signaled to kill her.

"Why, didn't you ask me to talk to me about Xiong Junjun?" Councilor Wang was a little strange, but he drank the old well fragrance in one gulp.

"No, I mainly asked you about business matters." Pang Xiaonan picked up a piece of lettuce and began to chew.

"Business matters?" Mr. Wang ate the fried pork, the crispness of the green pepper mixed with the elasticity of the lean meat, creating a delicious feeling in his mouth, "I haven't asked about business matters for a long time, what do you want?" Isn't Peng Yuyan more straightforward?"

"Peng Yuyan is so busy, it's not good to always bother him." In fact, Pang Xiaonan felt that he was always asking Peng Yuyan for money, and he was too embarrassed to see him. Instead, he and Mr. Wang were more at ease, "Anyway, you are fine, we just chat , and the second is to have a meal and drink together."

"Well, that's true," Councilor Wang poured wine for the two of them, "Peng Yuyan does take care of a lot of things now, when I'm not going out, he's basically busy in the company, but I'm getting more and more free. Don't even think about it."

"I have this question. Is there any pharmaceutical company in your industry?" Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that the production of the respirator is just a preliminary start, but in the later stage, the business opportunities that will be expanded due to the epidemic must be operated through pharmaceutical companies. , You can't rely on him and Huang Minghu to fight alone, that's not a big deal, but the epidemic is developing very fast, so we must plan ahead.

"Pharmaceutical companies," Mr. Wang thought for a while. He hasn't touched a business for a long time. They are all asset-light, and this pharmaceutical company only imports foreign advanced drugs to China, and then exports our advanced drugs from China to foreign countries.”

Pang Xiaonan clapped his hands excitedly, and said, "Beautiful! This kind of company is the best. Pharmaceutical factories, if necessary, we can buy them in the future, or we can do OEM, what do you think?"

Councilor Wang looked puzzled and asked Pang Xiaonan, "I said, what do you want this pharmaceutical company to do? You said that you are working as a specially-appointed expert in the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy, so why do you care about pharmaceutical companies again? What? Did you develop some good medicine and prepare to launch it on the market?"

"That's what it means," Pang Xiaonan said without hiding anything from Mr. Wang, "Do you know that a new type of virus has been discovered in the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy. This virus is very powerful and may change the world pattern. Of course Well, at least, this virus will change everyone's ideas about anti-virus."

"What? A new type of virus? This is a big security incident. Why haven't I heard of it?" Mr. Wang was stunned, thinking that he should hang up the sign of a senator anyway. Strange.

"Of course you don't know," Pang Xiaonan raised his glass, "You're not on the front line of the hospital, that's what happened in the past two days. Let me tell you, the new virus is not terrible, but this virus is contagious. It’s a bit scary, and according to my estimation, this virus can be transmitted from person to person, maybe not so serious that it can be transmitted through the air, at least it can be transmitted through droplets.”

Councilor Wang put the wine glass on the table heavily, and half of the wine in the glass spilled out, "Damn it, why didn't you tell me about such a serious matter earlier, we have to take precautions early."

Pang Xiaonan drank it down in one gulp, took another handful of Xiaochaorouyanjiu, and said, "Don't be so angry, I think it will spread in the next two days, it's just this disease, I say don't be angry, at last The key is that the fatality rate can reach more than 50%, which is very scary, and the infectious disease is a new type of virus, and the fatality rate can be half, which is more powerful than biochemical weapons."

"What? Does Dr. Qiu know about this situation?" Mr. Wang's eyes were sharp, filled with endless anger.

"Of course he knows, otherwise where did I get the news from? He told me that we have been unable to eat well or sleep well because of this illness these two days, but he can't do anything about it. Before everything is determined, Everything has yet to stand the test of time." Pang Xiaonan pointed to Mr. Wang's wine glass, signaling him not to waste the wine.

Mr. Wang raised his cup and drank it down, then put the cup heavily on the dining table, and said loudly: "Let him report it as soon as possible, and I will take responsibility for any accidents! Like what, such a serious illness, no matter what The reason must be controlled first, if it spreads, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Old Wang, at your age, you are still so concerned about the country and the people. Although your spirit is commendable, I advise you to take it easy." Pang Xiaonan filled the glass with wine, "This virus, especially The new virus, from another perspective, is for the benefit of the entire human race. How can you say that? Look at every major infectious disease in history, which time did not kill a lot of people? Why did it cause so many deaths? Have you ever thought about it?"

Mr. Wang frowned, licked his tongue and said, "You mean, the virus is here to wipe out human beings, so as to better balance the resources of this planet. Nature is about to rebel, wipe out some of the human race, and achieve a new balance, right?"

Pang Xiaonan nodded and said: "That's the reason. The number of creatures that each environment can carry is limited. Once a critical point is exceeded, there will be corresponding punishment measures. This punishment is the self-regulation of Hallelujah planet. We don’t know whether the mechanism is being manipulated by the gods or gods in secret, but once there are measures, it must be difficult to deal with. If human beings are not allowed to taste the serious consequences, those invisible hands will not stop.”

After listening to Pang Xiaonan's explanation, Mr. Wang couldn't help calming down, "But the consequences are a bit serious. At the expense of so many compatriots, do you think we should stand by and watch?"

Pang Xiaonan picked up a golden fried chicken leg again, put it in his mouth and started to chew, and said while chewing: "The unkindness of heaven and earth regards all things as straw dogs, and the unkindness of saints regards all things as straw dogs. If you have a moral burden, it means that you are still Not saints, of course, the vast majority of people are not saints, those who can become saints have become monks, but between saints and ordinary people, we can still choose to be a good person, but this good person should follow the trend."

Mr. Wang is more than a few years old, so he naturally knows some Taoist theories and daily life of Buddhism. He became interested in discussing Taoism with Pang Xiaonan. He deserves the title of a good man."

"First of all, you have to figure out a principle, that is, who are the people that the virus can kill?" Pang Xiaonan knocked on the dining table with a gnawed chicken leg, and then put it in his mouth to chew, "I said, this The fatality rate of the Virin virus is 50%. That is to say, half of the people will not die. The remaining half of the people are basically people with relatively strong physiques. That is to say, those who die are old, weak, sick and disabled. What does this mean?"

"Survival of the fittest," Mr. Wang also imitated Pang Xiaonan and took a golden chicken leg and gnawed it, thinking it tasted good. "The virus kills only the race with poor physique in the crowd, that is to say, it is selecting people with good genes. Just like we do genetic engineering for animals and plants, for example, in terms of plant selection and breeding, we keep those fruits that grow bigger and taste good, so the food we eat now is getting bigger and bigger, more and more The sweeter it is."

"That's right!" Pang Xiaonan licked his fingers after eating a chicken leg, "Humans select animals and plants, and human civilization at a higher level selects humans. This is actually a process that goes back and forth. Human beings have moral standards, so our gods and gods also have their moral standards."

"The world is not benevolent and treats everything as a dog," Mr. Wang nodded. "In the eyes of God, we human beings are indeed similar to dogs and cats."

"So sometimes when we look at problems, we should look at them from the perspective of God, otherwise we will be a little narrow." Pang Xiaonan raised his glass and signaled to Mr. Wang, "For example, you think that Dr. All the news, but have you ever thought about it? The higher-ups may also be playing a game of chess. Through this epidemic, the whole country and even the whole world will undergo a major change. This is a problem that ordinary people cannot see clearly. The national level is obviously more comprehensive. , So, I think there is nothing wrong with worrying about the country and the people, but we have to look at it in the long run."

"After you explain it like this, I feel much better." Councilor Wang also raised his glass, "It seems that you are more like a politician than me, and you can still think about problems at the national level."

Pang Xiaonan drank the wine in his glass, shook his finger, and said, "No, no, no, I'm not a politician. I'm simpler than a politician. I only think about things that I can grasp around me. For example, to tell you the truth, from me After knowing the epidemic situation, I started to prepare for the production of respirators. My purpose of producing respirators is also very simple, one is to make some money, and the other is to solve the problem of material shortage at that time.”

"What you mean by being a good person is to profit from the epidemic?" Mr. Wang frowned. After Pang Xiaonan's explanation, he naturally knew what the purpose of producing respiratory masks was.

"Don't you think that if I don't produce respirators, no one will profit from it?" Pang Xiaonan scooped up a bowl of soup and tasted it slowly, "The total amount of respirators is so much, I don't produce them, But some people will hoard, I produce a little, at least I can control my selling price, if someone else hoards, he wants to sell it at 10 times the price, I can’t control it, but I can make him lose money through sufficient production and supply At the same time, let the people enjoy benefits, then you said I am a good person or a bad person?"

Mr. Wang kept silent. He knew that Pang Xiaonan was telling the truth. Regardless of whether Pang Xiaonan produced respirators or not, the price of respirators would definitely skyrocket. If Pang Xiaonan could sell the respirators below the market price To the public, no matter how much money he makes, he is a very good person.

"Oh, at that time, people may say that I am a good person, but those businessmen who hope to make a fortune by hoarding respiratory masks will definitely say that I am a bad person," Pang Xiaonan said while drinking soup. The taro and rice soup is silky and moistens his throat, which is just right to quench his thirst. , "So, if we can become a good person in the hearts of most people, aren't we one step closer to being a saint? In fact, this is a routine of killing the rich and helping the poor, not complicated."

Mr. Wang took a deep breath, and sincerely admired Pang Xiaonan's ideas and practices, especially Pang Xiaonan's theory today, which made him feel ashamed even after reading countless people. This is a insight into the world. It is human nature to have such a comprehension. "How many respirator production lines did you buy?" Mr. Wang was very concerned about Pang Xiaonan's courage.

Pang Xiaonan stretched out 3 fingers, and Mr. Wang guessed, "Three?" Based on his understanding of Pang Xiaonan, Pang Xiaonan would never make a fuss.

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "It's 300 million cash, the production line plus raw materials."

Councilor Wang gave Pang Xiaonan a thumbs up, and exclaimed, "You're trading in respiratory mask futures. It's not easy to make such a big bet on a single virus!"

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "It's not a bet, it's almost a sure-win business. I don't think I've prepared enough, but I have limited financial resources and energy. For fast-moving consumer goods such as respiratory masks, I can't produce as many as I want. Too much."

"Are you interested in playing a big game?" Mr. Wang winked at Pang Xiaonan.

"Old Wang, I knew it was right to invite you to dinner today! Come on, cheers!"
