Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 192: Perfect closed loop? Perpetual motion machine?

This was Ximen Lang’s first time visiting the famous canteen.

Because this small canteen was so famous, Ximen Lang looked around as soon as he entered the room.

Then he discovered
"Our little cafeteria isn't doing very well."

That's really not good.

Let’s put it this way, the famous Lao Mo is as much like the various clubs in later generations as it is like the small private rooms in small street restaurants in later generations.

Except that the area is slightly larger than those small boxes, the surrounding environment and the overall layout are exactly the same as those!
Not even that!
How could this be worthy of a good word from Ximen Lang, who had gradually become accustomed to the simplicity of the major restaurants and the luxury of various clubs?
But this is not a professional restaurant after all.

In addition, for Ximen Lang, this place has a new word, a strange word.

I just got used to it slowly. It's not that I won't go to any high-end places, but I haven't had a proper meal at Ximenlang, so I'm not picky about the environment.

So, he just mentioned it out of curiosity, and then Ximen Lang and Li Huaide chatted and laughed while waiting for the food to be served.

Speaking of interesting things, I have to mention that before the Russian aid experts left, they had some interesting experiences of drinking from boxes and blowing from bottles with the tough guys sent by the steel mill.

"You know, brother, the Russians have no other hobbies but wine. As long as you can make him drink well and enjoy it, everything will be fine."

"In order to learn more from them, our factory directly screened the entire factory and selected eight heroes, each of whom is extremely talented!"

"It just so happens that the rules at the wine table in our two countries are that one cup cannot be empty, and the other cup must be drunk completely!"

Hearing this, Ximen Lang couldn't help but be surprised.

"There can't be any wine in one cup, and if there is wine in one cup, it must be drunk completely. Is this a perpetual motion machine? A perfect closed loop? Isn't this going to make you drunk like crazy?"

"Isn't it? And it's not just our factory that's like this, it's the same all over the country! In order to make these old Russian experts drink well, they need to teach us more."

"Even in this small room we're staying in right now, several people have to be carried out every day! It's only in the past couple of months that those experts have gone elsewhere, and we've finally had some peace and quiet."

"Otherwise, there's still something to drink!"

Ximen Lang was stunned by the funny story.

Just when Ximen Lang and Li Huaide, two like-minded friends, were talking about all sorts of things under the sun, without any limit.

On the other hand, in the Special Operations Detachment, Lao Luo, Director Wang and others, who had determined that the situation in the future was not about to start the S3 season, but at least on the verge of starting the season, were a little overwhelmed.

"It's only been a few decades, less than a century, and the world has changed so much. Why doesn't Ximen Lang seem to have any reaction? He should just eat and drink as usual and not take anything to heart."

Seeing that Lao Luo was curious about this again, Bai Ling explained.

"Of course he doesn't take these little things to heart, although he occasionally mentioned to me that the external situation there is actually quite tense. But what does the tense external situation have to do with him?"

"Given their immense strength, it would be a blessing if they didn't invade others. Who would dare to cause trouble for them?"

"Haven't you seen those clowns who dared not disobey the orders of their American father and had to confront the future generations? They only dared to annoy others and never dared to cross the line?"

"In this situation, Ximen Lang certainly won't take these little things to heart."

As he spoke, he told Lao Luo about how a large firework display had just been set off over the Pacific Ocean some time ago, and how the Americans not only did not condemn it, but also had to put on a smile and praised the display as good, wonderful, and amazing.

A single Dongfeng Express delivery silenced the entire world.

Even the world's hegemon, the Americans, had to be careful in their response, and even their eyes became much clearer. It really was true, I really thought too much.

Lao Luo decisively put aside many worries that had no practical significance, and instead made a proposal to Bai Ling with his eyes turned into the shape of coins.

"Bai Ling, even if a fight breaks out over there, it's likely to have nothing to do with them, and they can still sit back and relax. But I think we can still discuss this matter separately. What do you think?"

"You mean taking advantage of the situation and robbing people?"

This statement is somewhat too explicit and too harsh.

Although that is indeed the case.
"But you can't be so blunt. Strengthening bilateral relations, deepening mutual understanding, engaging in in-depth cooperation in multiple fields, and increasing bilateral trade—how could that be more sophisticated than extortion?"

"And who told you I was going to rip them off? I just wanted to use being their most stable base as an excuse to secure more favorable conditions for us. After all, we're all family. How could we be as filthy as you think?"

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

Although this move does have some suspicion of taking advantage of the situation to extort money.

But I have to say, this is quite feasible.

After all, this is a super rear base that belongs only to future generations!

Because both parties are of the same origin, and with Ximen Lang as the middleman who can take charge of everything, there is no possibility of betrayal.

At this critical moment, what's wrong with the Sijiu City World speaking more firmly and asking its good brothers to lend a hand for the sake of being a family?
Besides, he never intended to ask for too much from the lion. He just wanted to follow his good brother and drink a few sips of the soup that his good brother looked down upon.

Is there anything wrong with this?
There's nothing wrong with it at all!
Anyway, the negotiations hadn't started yet, and there was no suspicion of violating morality or raising the price, so Lao Luo just kept this matter in mind.

It was confirmed that there was nothing missing from Bai Ling's records and that there were no problems with Director Wang's records.

He suppressed his urgent desire to report the matter immediately and was even more enthusiastic than before.

He personally saw Bai Ling off to the door as she was about to return to the steel mill to have dinner with Ximen Lang, and watched her disappear at the intersection under the escort of her entourage.

Then, he didn't dare to delay for even a moment.

He got on the special car that had been prepared long ago, took the newly sorted information, and hurried to report to his superiors.

Sure enough, there were no surprises.

As soon as Lao Luo reported this news, it immediately caused a shocking earthquake in the city of Beijing.

It is foreseeable that many people will not be able to sleep peacefully for at least a week.

But these obviously have nothing to do with Bai Ling.

Seeing that they had already reached the door of the canteen, Ximen Lang was still urging them.

"Where's Bai Ling? Didn't they say they'd send someone to call her? The food is almost cold, why hasn't she shown up yet?"

Feeling warm in her heart, Bai Ling strode directly into the small private room in the cafeteria.

　It's so uncomfortable to be stuck.
