Chapter 653: Private Satellites

No doubt Chester Basham didn't want his wife and children to be exposed to much about the underworld, and after a brief conversation, he drove them upstairs to their rooms to sleep.

After the two of them left completely, he took a deep breath and asked in a tone that was not very sure, "What about the satellite you want to launch?"

"Here it is. Zhang Cheng unhurriedly took out two delicately shaped gadgets from his pocket, only the size of his palm, and gently placed them on the table.

"What?!Are you sure it's a satellite, not some children's toy or model?" Chester Basham's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, these are satellites, but I've shrunk them by magic, and I'll restore them to their normal size before launch. Zhang Cheng didn't mean to hide it, and Dafang gave a positive answer.

In fact, at the very beginning, he told each other the size and weight of the two satellites, so the data obtained by the Western Space and Missile Test Center north of Los Angeles was a normal size, otherwise it would not have cost $150 million to launch two tennis balls, no matter how exaggerated.

"Oh my God! it's incredible!, but I have a question, if you can shrink the satellite so small, why don't you just launch it like that?" Chester Bassham's tone was full of confusion and bewilderment.

Zhang Cheng explained with a smile: "It's very simple! Think about it, if you were the U.S. government and suddenly discovered such a small and delicate artificial satellite, would you be curious? Would you secretly do a small test? Will you monitor what its purpose is after it is launched into a given orbit? If the size of the satellite suddenly becomes dozens or even hundreds of times larger, how will they react? Therefore, I would rather spend a little more money than leave a lot of troubles that may arise in the future. ”

Chester Basham nodded thoughtfully: "I see! Then tomorrow we will send the satellite to the launch center, and there is still a lot of preparation to be completed, including applying for radio frequency bands, radio business licenses, and orbit reporting." If nothing else, it will take about a month and a half for the satellite to start working normally. ”

Obviously, he is quite familiar with the system process of launching private satellites, and even some legal approvals are very comprehensive.

"Great! I'll leave the whole thing to you, and that's what I'll pay you. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng took out a small suitcase one foot square, entered the password and opened it directly.

Moment!

Twenty bottles of sealed glass test tubes emitting a green glow were neatly arranged in the shockproof recesses of the box.

"It's ......" Chester Basham's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he picked up one of the bottles, his eyes full of excitement and excitement.

Even though he didn't know much about potions, it didn't take much effort to recognize that it was the tonic that saved his son's life last time, and was claimed to be able to cure all diseases, curses, poisons, and negative magical effects.

"That's right, exactly like the bottle I gave you last time. I want to use them to pay for the cost of satellite launches, which is far better than giving you dollars directly, isn't it?" Zhang Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth and blinked his eyes with a smile.

"Of course! These beautiful potions are worth more than 150 million dollars! I swear if I were to put them in front of terminally ill billionaires who would be willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for a healthy body. Chester Basham licked his lips subconsciously.

As a peripheral member who controls public opinion for the Supreme Council of North America, he knows better than anyone the value of these high-grade potions, which cannot be bought with money at all.

What's more, it takes a long time and effort for ordinary people like him who circulate in the underground world to get it.

But now, with these twenty bottles of tonic that can be used as hard currency, he can quickly get a sum of gold dinars through mortgages, loans, etc., and then use these gold dinars as the principal to buy and sell low-level magic items, so as to earn the difference.

To put it simply, it is to give full play to the strengths of businessmen and capitalists, and take advantage of the information asymmetry and the relatively slow commercial mobility of the underground world to benefit themselves.

In addition, twenty bottles of tonic medicine also means that twenty lives can be saved at a critical moment, so that the other party owes them a favor, and its huge value is comparable to a mere 150 million US dollars, plus two zeros is about the same.

"Then I'll leave the launch of the satellite to you, and try not to let too many people know about it unless necessary. Zhang Cheng made a request without thinking.

After perceiving the activity of the shallow thinking of the guy in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh to himself that the capitalist's heart was really black, and the white wolf with empty gloves slipped more than himself.

It's just that I don't know if a guy like this, who has been baptized by modern business culture, will directly force up the price of low-level magic items that are already more expensive in the underground world when they enter the underground world.

"No problem, just leave it to me. If you had been required to intervene in such a trivial matter, the Supreme Council would have kicked me and my family out of the way and replaced them with someone who could do it. Oh, by the way, how long are you going to stay in Los Angeles this time, and if time permits, I can introduce you to several families in California who have served in Congress for generations, and who are very influential in politics and business. The most important thing is that since you are in Los Angeles, how can you not appreciate and taste the Hollywood actresses......"

At the end of the day, Chester Basham had a smile on his face that all men would know.

"Hahahaha! Thank you for your kindness, but forget about Hollywood actresses, I really don't have much interest in them. Zhang Cheng laughed and shook his head in refusal.

You must know that he is a staunch supporter of the truth that "there are no good people in the entertainment industry", and everyone who enters this circle, whether male or female, will sooner or later be blackened by a big dye vat like ink.

For the sake of money, status and fame, male and female celebrities will not hesitate to sell their bodies, even if they sell their souls.

Only idiots will have illusions about professions such as actors and stars, thinking that there will always be one or two white lotus flowers among them who come out of the mud and are not stained.

But in fact, there is one count, all of them have vanity and desires beyond ordinary people, and if they are tempted a little, they will soon fall, and the guy who seems to be a white lotus is just better disguised.

"Do you have a habit of cleanliness?" said Chester Basham, raising an eyebrow in surprise.

It was also the first time he had encountered someone who would refuse to arrange a Hollywood actress for him, even if it was a member of a sub-council and a lord, who would normally gladly accept and enjoy the whole process.

"No, it's not a matter of cleanliness, it's that I hate myself for being caught up in pure desire.

If the other party were a member of the Supreme Council, no matter how debauched her private life was, I would gladly accept this kind of behavior that would enhance our intimacy.

But if it's an actress with no power or power, why should I waste precious time and energy on her?

Remember, dear Chester, don't let the desires of your lower body dominate your mind, for only then will you be qualified to evolve to a higher level of life......"
