"Do you remember the Qi Circulation Route I taught you? Follow what I taught you and circulate that warm Qi Flow thirty-six times a day..."
Skye's face was flushed, "Boss, I have a bad memory. How about we practice like this every day, and you teach me in bed!"
Tang Song extended a finger and lightly scraped her nose, just about to flip over and mount.
By the bedside, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
Tang Song picked it up and saw the caller ID was Kane's phone number. He answered it casually.
"Boss, the talks with Hammer Industries are settled. We need to prepare a USD 300 million deposit in seven days!"
Tang Song blew smoke rings, holding the phone in one hand and playing with a green stem in the other.
"Have finance prepare the money in advance, and also prepare another fifty million to transfer to the account in Italy, to prepare some meeting gifts for our several generals!"
"Understood, Boss, I'll arrange it right away!"
...
"Prepare yourself, we'll go to Italy in a few days!"
Skye wrapped her arms around Tang Song, rubbing her face against his chest, her voice lazy:
"Boss, are you really going into the arms business?!"
As Tang Song's semi-private secretary, Tang Song didn't hide many things from her.
She naturally knew what kind of business her Boss was doing.
But discussing a USD 500 million business with the President of Oscorp during the day, and then engaging in this kind of cross-border military procurement at night.
Even though Skye had been a super hacker for a long time and had seen many big scenes.
The business Tang Song did still left her dumbfounded.
"Boss, Italy has its own Arms Company, why are they still bidding externally?"
Is Italy's military strength strong? You know, although it was a defeated nation in World War II, its annual military expenditure is as high as USD 32 billion, ranking eleventh in the world.
Italy's military industries are developing quite well. The army possesses self-developed tanks, battle vehicles, and attack helicopters.
The navy possesses self-developed aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships.
The sophistication of the Italian Army's equipment is already outstanding among European nations that are constantly reducing their military forces.
Why would Italy, with this level of industrial capability, choose foreign companies to bid for its military equipment upgrade this year?
The explanation given by the Department of Defense was to prevent domestic corruption.
"Of course, it's because there's a lot of room for manipulation! Otherwise, what would we eat!""
Tang Song laughed, patted Skye's perky backside, and got up to go to the study.
The study was elegantly furnished, with various books neatly arranged on the sandalwood bookshelf.
At the desk, a notebook lay open. Tang Song held a fountain pen and wrote a few names in the notebook.
Hammer Industries, Stark Industries...
Tang Song used the fountain pen to specifically circle the names Hammer Industries and Oscorp.
...
In the early morning, after a night of rest and recuperating his Qi Flow, Tang Song got up feeling refreshed. He did some light exercises, performed a few stances, and made his bones and joints pop with crisp sounds.
"Boss, the person has been brought back!"
A large Underground Supermarket in New York.
The supermarket was converted from a Cold War Air-Raid Shelter. After the end of World War II, the Federation and the Soviet Union had several close calls, almost escalating into nuclear war.
For this, both sides built a large number of Air-Raid Shelters and nuclear Bunkers.
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, many of the Federation's Air-Raid Shelters were abandoned.
Some of these Air-Raid Shelters were leased by the government to businessmen and gradually converted into supermarkets and bars.
This supermarket was leased in this manner. The price was cheap, the area was large, and most importantly, on the second underground level of the supermarket, there was a hidden space.
An underground space the size of several football fields, where over a dozen burly men were undergoing physical training.
In a corner of the underground Air-Raid Shelter, countless old directories and archive bags were piled up, weighing dozens of tons. The raw material for these directories was acid-free paper.
Acid-free paper is the basic material for manufacturing US dollars and also the most basic anti-counterfeiting mark.
Next to the directories were barrels of color-shifting ink. The numbers on the anti-counterfeiting code of US dollars can change color by changing the angle of the paper, which is because color-shifting ink is used.
Intaglio printing press, plates, acid-free paper, color-shifting ink, are all indispensable items for manufacturing Super US Dollars.
"Mr. Tang!"
Li Wen looked somewhat constrained, his wrinkled suit adding a touch of dejection.
Under someone else's roof, even the famous The Painter couldn't help but feel a bit humbled.
Towards talent, especially talent that could create profit for himself, Tang Song was always generous.
Kane, standing nearby, handed over a cigar. Tang Song trimmed it and offered it to Li Wen.
"Don't worry, your new identities for you and Ms. Wu in the Federation were already sorted out the moment you landed in New York. Also, I've deposited USD 20 million into your account. Once these Super US Dollars are printed, I will deposit them into your account!"
Tang Song smoked his cigar, exhaling smoke, "But the situation outside is tense right now, you'll have to bear with staying here for a few days!"
"No problem, I'll print these Super US Dollars as quickly as possible!"
Li Wen took the lighter offered by Kane and lit the cigar.
"There's enough acid-free paper here to print 70 billion Super US Dollars. These funds circulating in the market are enough to cause a financial shock in nearly half of the Federation. The FBI and the Federal Economic Investigation Bureau will definitely investigate the source of these Super US Dollars!"
Li Wen smoked his cigar and looked at Tang Song, "I have some old clients, they're wholesalers, and they're tight-lipped!"
"Another USD 10 million for you!" Tang Song looked calmly at Li Wen, his eyes cold.
"USD 30 million is enough for you and Ms. Wu to achieve financial freedom anywhere in the world."
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed deep in Li Wen's eyes. 70 billion Super US Dollars, even if wholesaled at a tenth of the price, would be worth USD 7 billion.
"30 million, did he think he was a beggar?!"
"This is the list. Previously, our goods were supplied to some warlords in the Middle East, and some international organizations!"
Despite his resentment, Li Wen knew well the principle of having to bow one's head when under someone else's roof. He didn't say much, tearing off a piece of the inner lining from his wrinkled suit.
Tang Song took it and saw some messy numbers on it.
"This is the Morse code I set," Li Wen translated the meaning of these numbers to Tang Song.
Ten Rings, among the dozen or so buyer forces, Tang Song saw a familiar name.
Tang Song didn't say anything, handing the list to Kane beside him.
"Cooperate well with Mr. Li and hurry up and print these Super US Dollars!"
"Yes, Boss!"
Kane, his face cold, nodded to indicate understanding.
"To welcome the two of you, I've prepared a villa for you in the New York City Area. If you need anything, you can tell Kane directly! Relax, feel at home here, no need to be polite!"
