Chapter 359: Autumn Wind
It has been said that life is beautiful because it is short, precious because it is fragile, and free because of pain, but if no one remembers that you ever existed after you die, then is life still beautiful?
As for the so-called transience, everyone's understanding is different, in Xia Feng's view, whether it is only a few days like an insect, or a hundred years like Wang Ba, as long as you are not immortal and eternal, it is called short.
Therefore, Xia Feng felt that whatever was beautiful, free, and precious was hypocritical to him.
Life is not about how long you live, but about what you have done in the process of living, maybe in the eyes of others, you do these things like an iron fool, but so what.
As long as it's what you want to do in your short life, that's it, Ollie.
.................
Just as Xia Feng sat at his desk and pondered these bitter philosophical questions, a burst of phone calls pulled him back to reality.
"Dididi, Didi!"
Xia Feng rubbed his face with his hands, and then looked at the number displayed on the phone.
A scowling smile appeared on his face, and Xia Feng raised the corners of his mouth.
"Old fellow, I finally can't help but call."
Xia Feng deliberately let the phone ring seven or eight times before he slowly reached out and picked it up.
"Hey~"
A young male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Xia Feng, it's me, it's me, my father wants to ....."
"You're not qualified."
"Smack!"
Xia Feng hung up the phone directly.
"Dididi, Didi!"
It rang seven or eight more times before Xia Feng picked up the phone.
"Hey~"
"Xia Feng, it's me, I'm Tangde."
The summer breeze dragged a long tail note.
"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Tangde, I thought it was a telemarketing just now, what's the matter, what is the matter with such a big person as you?"
Fools know that Xia Feng hung up the phone on purpose just now, but Tang De can only suppress his temper and say angrily.
"That.... I'd like to treat you to a meal and talk about ......"
"Eat? Okay, you can come to my barbecue restaurant, you can open it yourself, it's very convenient. ”
Tang De is also a nobleman, and he is not young, so it is really difficult for him to go all the way to such a remote barbecue restaurant in the Celt neighborhood to eat, in fact, the most important thing is that he is a little scared, although no one dares to touch a finger of the nobleman in Victoria, but Tang De knows very well that Xia Feng dares to do things that no one else dares to do.
"I.... I'm not very convenient, or you come to my house, I'll send a car to pick you up, I'm really inconvenient, bear with me, trouble you. ”
Xia Feng replied vaguely.
"Okay, I'll go over and I'll go over, remember to prepare a few more dishes."
"Yes, yes, that's natural, then it's set for tonight, I'll immediately ask someone to prepare a dinner party, I'll wait for you."
"OKOK, that's it, hang up."
Hanging up the phone, Xia Feng almost laughed.
Seeing this, Ah Guang, who was passing by, asked.
"Brother Feng, why are you smiling so happily, who called."
"Hehe, of course it's my dear Donde-sama."
"Huh? Why did that old fox call you?"
Xia Feng picked up the teacup and took a leisurely sip of tea.
"Of course, the finished goods warehouse in the factory is bursting."
..........
Since half a month ago, Xia Feng has completely broken off all cooperation with the Liye family, and at that time he was about to start a plundering war against Notting City, and he didn't have the time to smuggle light manganese ore at all.
As the closest city to Notting City, the news of the destruction of the Friddo Chamber of Commerce overnight became known the next day.
Soon, he also knew who did this earth-shattering event, that's right, it was Xia Feng who was coaxed out of his house before.
In fact, after he coaxed Xia Feng away that day, he held a family meeting the next day, preparing to study how to squeeze oil and water from Xia Feng, the newly appointed boss of Harpy City, and finally after discussion, the family members came up with a solution.
Here's how it works.
The Liye family and the Friedo each contributed a part of the money to replace the light manganese ore transport vehicle with a grade A source stone drive, although the initial investment is large, but in the long run, it will be more economical in transportation costs, and the transportation cost of the Friedo Chamber of Commerce is reduced, and the price of light manganese ore of their family will be raised accordingly.
If you negotiate with Friedo, this series of operations will definitely need to be carried out by Xia Feng, who is the boss of Harpy City, as long as the two sides invest a lot of money in the replacement of vehicles, with the rich experience of the Liye family, they will definitely be able to squeeze as much money as possible when the time comes.
However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is not only not skinny, but a little bloody.
Just as the Liye family was around the small round table discussing how to squeeze the three melons and two dates from Xia Feng, Xia Feng took advantage of the night to leave Harpy City and took his friends to take Notting City's Friedo Nest directly overnight.
The sun rose the next day, and the Friedo Chamber of Commerce had disappeared from the world, replaced by the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, which Don De had never heard of.
After getting this news, Tang De's heart can only be interpreted by subverting the three views, and his expression can only be described by three question marks.
And what puzzled Tang De the most was that when such a big thing happened, the 20,000 garrisons outside Notting City didn't care about anything as if they were blind.
For the next few days, Don Tak sat at home and listened to one message after another coming from his subordinates.
The Black Feather Chamber of Commerce has restored the transportation industry in Notting City.
The Black Feather Chamber of Commerce has recruited a large number of new members.
The Black Feather Chamber of Commerce regained the city of Cadi to the southeast,
The Black Feather Chamber of Commerce has recaptured the city of Shinsato.
In the end, the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce recovered 6 medium-sized cities within 400 kilometers of the southeast and northwest with Notting City as the center, and returned to the throne in just over two weeks.
The whole process felt like he was watching a commercial movie, and if it weren't for the fact that the Ministry of Information was personally reported by his subordinates, he would even feel that the world was colluding to play him.
But helplessly, this is the reality, and he can only accept it.
Tang De didn't know where Xia Feng's plan had been completed, and he didn't know what his plans would be in the future, although the termination of the light manganese ore cooperation made him very anxious, but because Xia Feng's recent methods were too shocking, he didn't dare to disturb casually.
It's like you and your neighbor are playing mahjong, at this time the neighbor's house suddenly caught fire, even the old mother was burned into the hospital, no matter how good you are at the moment with this deck of cards, you don't dare to call and ask him when he will come back to play, unless he takes the initiative to come back after dealing with everything, otherwise you are hitting the muzzle of the gun.
Tang De is in this mood now, the light manganese mine has been terminated, but his factory cannot be stopped, the Friedo Chamber of Commerce is his only smuggling partner, and naturally, in addition to the orders shipped to the royal family, a large number of finished goods are piled up in the warehouse.
Half a month has passed, and Xia Feng has never contacted him to resume smuggling cooperation.
During this period, even the Haimen Gang secretly contacted him and asked him if he wanted to cut off Xia Feng's line and cooperate with others again, but to be honest, Tang De's nest was under Xia Feng's nose, and he didn't have the courage to try it unless he had to.
Finally today, Tang De couldn't help it, he had to invite Xia Feng to his home to have a good talk, even if his own profit would be lower, he had to resume cooperation as soon as possible.
............
Evening.
Autumn is crisp and breezy.
Xia Feng put on his coat and scarf, and hung the Shenyue Knife around his waist.
"Ah Guang, drive me to the Liye family's mansion."
Ah Guang picked up the car keys.
"Brother Feng, are you going to negotiate?"
Xia Feng smiled as he walked out.
"What kind of judgment to talk about, I have nothing to talk about with that old guy, I haven't had any big meals recently, I just go to have a simple meal."
