CIATB Chapter 159 The Deal!
Chapter 159 The Deal!
"It seems you are very confident."
Qin Changfeng's voice was deep.
"This is not confidence."
Zhang Yan shook his head. "There's no need to waste time."
Qin Changfeng fell silent.
He looked at the young man in front of him, who was no more than twenty years old.
That composure, that calmness, that air of having everything under control.
This made him doubt his own judgment of people for the first time.
"What do you want 'Obsidian' for?"
He asked in a deep voice.
That's the key issue.
As the military's top strategic material, "Obsidian" is used in ways that involve the nation's most core secrets.
He needed to know Zhang Yan's purpose.
Zhang Yan looked at him and calmly uttered two words.
"Mecha".
"boom--"
These two words exploded in Qin Changfeng's mind like a thunderclap!
Even though he had seen all sorts of storms and waves, his temperament was already as firm as a rock.
I almost lost my composure when I heard those two words.
Mecha?
He thought he had misheard.
Isn't that something that only exists in science fiction movies?
"What did you say?"
His voice trembled slightly involuntarily.
"I said, I need 'Obsidian' to build a mech."
Zhang Yan repeated it, his tone still as nonchalant as ever.
Qin Changfeng stared intently at him.
Trying to find a trace of a joke on his face.
but.
There was only calmness in those clear eyes.
Harmony, of course.
Qin Changfeng's brain was working at lightning speed.
He recalled his son Qin Xiao's report from the previous night.
That hoverbike without wheels.
Someone who can make that kind of thing out of thin air.
Now he says he wants to build mechs.
The credibility of this matter instantly rose to a terrifying level.
Qin Changfeng felt his breathing become rapid.
If what he said is true...
What does that mean for the whole of China and for the whole world?
He forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
"What makes you think I should believe you?"
His voice had become hoarse.
Zhang Yan smiled.
He didn't answer, but instead asked a question.
"You've already seen that 'Cheng Ying' car by the gate, haven't you?"
Qin Changfeng's pupils contracted sharply again.
He has indeed seen it.
Just before Zhang Yan entered the room.
He could clearly see the black "monster" parked outside the yard through the surveillance camera in his study.
That timeless masterpiece.
Even this military leader, who was used to seeing all kinds of cutting-edge weapons, felt a chill run down his spine.
"I made that car by myself using materials from a junkyard and spending an afternoon making it."
Zhang Yan said calmly.
"What do you think would happen if I used 'Obsidian' and the military's top-of-the-line special alloy?"
"What kind of things can you make?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it struck Qin Changfeng's heart like a heavy hammer!
Qin Changfeng was completely speechless.
He leaned back in his chair, feeling a little dizzy.
Materials from the scrap yard?
An afternoon?
Was it just made casually?
This...this guy, is he even human?!
He looked at Zhang Yan, that young and handsome face, which even had a touch of scholarly air about it.
For the first time, I felt a chill that came from my very soul.
This young man cannot be judged by common sense.
He's a monster in human skin!
No.
It's God!
a long time.
Qin Changfeng let out a long breath.
The sternness and sharpness on his face vanished completely at that moment.
Instead, he wore a complex expression that was a mixture of a wry smile and a sense of relief.
"I see."
He spoke slowly.
He finally understood why his fearless son would willingly submit to this young man.
And now I finally understand why that old fox from the Nie family would place the future of the entire family on this seemingly ordinary young man.
They all saw what they had just seen.
A smile suddenly appeared on Qin Changfeng's face.
That smile was no longer a test, nor was it authoritative.
Rather, it was a mixture of the joy of discovering a rare treasure and a hint of cunning, like that of an old fox.
"I can give you 'Obsidian'."
He began to speak.
Zhang Yan nodded, seemingly unsurprised by the result.
"However, I have one condition."
Qin Changfeng changed the subject.
"Please speak."
"I want you to join the military."
Qin Changfeng looked at him and said, word by word.
His eyes gleamed with a burning light.
Such a prodigy, capable of changing the world order.
He must be firmly tied to the nation's war machine!
We absolutely cannot let him wander outside!
Upon hearing this condition, Zhang Yan's brows finally furrowed slightly.
"I'm still in school."
He said.
This was the first time he had raised his own question.
"Hahaha……"
Qin Changfeng suddenly burst into laughter.
The laughter was hearty and full of joy.
"go to school?"
"Someone like you, do you even need to go to school?"
"You could just pick any one of your technologies and have it so that the world's top scientists become your students!"
He waved his hand, his smile widening.
"Don't worry."
"I'm letting you join the military, not to restrict your freedom."
"You don't need to report to the military base, nor do you need to follow any military discipline."
"You can still do your own thing, go to school, and spend time with your girlfriend."
"We will not interfere in any of your private life."
"Also, if you need anything, just tell me."
He looked at Zhang Yan, his eyes becoming extremely solemn.
"but."
"If the country needs you."
"Within your capabilities."
"You cannot refuse."
This is his real purpose.
What he wanted was not an ordinary soldier.
Rather, it is a "stabilizing force" that can make the final decision when the country faces a major crisis in the future!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan's expression softened.
This condition is not excessive.
It could even be said that the benefits were extremely generous.
He knew all along that his existence would be discovered by the state sooner or later.
It's only a matter of time.
Now, they have been "co-opted" in such a relatively mild way.
For him, this was actually the best outcome.
This means that he can save himself a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future.
He can use his abilities more freely without worrying about causing unnecessary panic and suspicion.
"it is good."
Zhang Yan nodded and agreed.
I promise you.
A satisfied smile appeared on Qin Changfeng's face.
He knew he had made the right bet.
The country made a huge profit from this deal.
He stood up, walked up to Zhang Yan, and extended his hand.
Welcome to the team.
"Although there was no conferment ceremony or official document."
"But from now on, you are a very special member of the Chinese military."
Zhang Yan also stood up and grasped his hand.
Two hands, one big and one small, one old and one young.
At that moment, they held hands tightly.
This signifies the formal formation of a tacit alliance.
