"You made four million in a few days? Did you rob gold stores and jewelry stores across the river?"
Listening to A Bai's enthusiastic recount, a look of surprise appeared on Ansheng's face. Earning four million in a few days, your money-making speed might even be faster than Lin Ying's!
"It's a lead from Grandma Hedgehog. She said something about going out to salvage sonar detectors and catching spies at night. Sonar detectors are fifty thousand each, and spies are two hundred and fifty thousand." A Bai wagged its tail happily and said:
"These past few days, I've been sneaking onto their research ships with Golden Hair to steal sonars to sell, and caught several spies from the Longevity Club, netting a solid four million."
The lead A Bai was talking about was evidently the Security Bureau asking the Spirit Beast Gang to resolve matters through Grandma Hedgehog.
"Now that Master Fuli is back, we should be able to directly seize the research ship, tow the whole thing back, and repay Spirit Beast Gang's debts in full." A Bai told Master Fuli about the big business deal the entire Spirit Beast Gang had been busy planning for the past few days.
"Grandma Hedgehog might be taking a cut, I recall spying bounties are fifty thousand per head." Ansheng smacked his lips after hearing what A Bai said.
"Finding a hidden spy is fifty; exposed second-hand spies can't be sold for a high price, twenty-five is a friendly price." A Bai said a bit displeased: "I heard from Little Master, second-hand ones go for more on Xianyu, but I can't....."
A Bai was very worried at this point.
Doggy shouldn't be running around for money.
But with the Spirit Beast Gang moving into the nearby town and assisting in the implementation of pet management regulations, the number of the Wang Wang Squad exponentially increased. The consumption speed of dog food made the pet food factory owner personally deliver cash.
He doesn't ask for anything else, just that the Homeless House won't start any dog and cat food factory, and they could offer more discounts on prices, to establish strategic cooperation at a bottom price.
A Bai also heard that the owner of the dog food factory bought a big villa in the Imperial Capital and plans to fund a plane next year.
Although the funds of the Homeless House have not bottomed out, if they don't work hard to make money, brothers would really end up as stray dogs on the street in a few months.
As the leader, A Bai was under huge pressure. Naturally, he was willing to try any opportunity to make money.
"Research ship..."
"Is it new? How big is it?" Ansheng asked with a contemplative expression: "The funding issues of the Homeless House, you don't need to worry, Master Fuli hasn't just been idle lately."
"I acquired an industrial group in Rakshasa Country, although their main business is arms trade, their railways cover the entire continent of Europe. On the Tropical Continent, there are also numerous secure land freight channels."
"I've returned this time not only because I need to host the family's tea competition, but also to prepare to open up new channels for the Spirit Beast Gang. Tonight, gather everyone including Grandma Hedgehog to meet and hold a conference."
In the Xia Dong Spirit Beast Gang, led by Master Fuli, the Golden Edge Hedgehog, and the White Giant Wolf, but at the Hall Master level, there are also Golden Retriever Lion, Orca, Strange Fish, King Cobra, and some newcomers like Leopard Cat and Teacher Cat.
Even some moths and bats are included.
The issues currently faced by the Spirit Beast Gang are actually quite common on a corporate level.
The speed of scale expansion is too fast, causing the capital chain to almost break.
The current need is to first digest the market, clear the lower-tier market, then promote management, meticulously arrange the work of corporate employees, catch a breather, and then expand further once funds are sufficient.
Instead of floundering around like headless flies, only to work hard to end up eating dirt.
"Awoo~"
Though a bit confused, A Bai didn't quite understand what sinking market, expansion, or capital chain meant, but he trusted Master Fuli who had seen the big picture, listening to him wouldn't be wrong.
However....
A Bai still had a small question.
"Bro.... can't we really list spies on Xianyu?" A Bai asked somewhat stubbornly.
Ansheng froze, pondered with a frown, and said: "According to normal platform rules, it shouldn't be allowed....."
"But, I'm also a bit curious. How about.... we catch one to try after tonight's meeting? If Xianyu doesn't allow us to list it, we'll try to sell it somewhere else."
Deep down, Master Fuli understood that although spies have no human rights, listing them on a platform isn't feasible.
But A Bai's proposal was indeed intriguing, Master Fuli was also curious about how the account might get banned.
"Woof—" A Bai wagged its tail happily, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at Master Fuli saying:
"By the way, bro, there's another thing, tonight you might need to scold King Eye, it's way too gluttonous, our reserve Hall Masters in the mountains have almost been eaten up by it."
"To eat more conveniently, it even grew two little hands in front to grab food, it's very greedy."
In the Spirit Beast Gang, if anyone stood out as the most unique, King Eye would definitely be ranked first.
Just a few days ago, it attacked Grandmaster Lin's convoy, A Bai got a call from Master Fuli to mediate, and upon seeing the brand new King Eye, which had almost evolved into a big lizard.
"?"
Listening to A Bai's complaints, Ansheng slowly pulled out a question mark to face A Bai, the corner of his mouth twitching.
"No.... don't say it anymore, now I have a mental picture, damn it, the image just keeps lingering in my mind."
A big black snake, with human-like arms and legs, sticking its butt up while crawling in the mountains, and flicking its tongue like a lizard.
Freaking Komodo dragon...
"Such a quiet and peaceful scene..."
Sitting in the shop, Ah Qing and Qiu Lingling casually chatted, glancing out the floor-to-ceiling window, to find two fluffy ones sitting side by side, "woof" and "coo"ing to each other, without any running or fighting, a scene of tranquility and harmony.
Ah Qing smiled as she took a photo and uploaded it to her social circle, saving it as her diary entry for the day.
"The ancients used to say, 'a pack of fox and dog friends.'" Qiu Lingling said cheerfully, resting her face on her elbow.
......
Ah Qing and Qiu Lingling's date lasted until around six in the evening. Ah Qing had to leave early to host a family dinner, but she invited Qiu Lingling to the tea competition opening ceremony in a couple of days.
By then, let the two fluffy white fox and dog friends reunite for some play.
At nine-thirty in the evening, after the dinner ended. Ansheng bid Ah Qing farewell, mentioning he'd head to Lin Ying's home to play, then leisurely headed out to Lin Ying's place, preparing to go to the Homeless House to hold a meeting.
Ansheng rode the aerial bike with Lin Ying, leisurely heading from the mountain road to the Homeless House.
Arriving at the meeting place.
The Golden Edge Hedgehog's convoy already arrived in advance. Among all spirit beasts, the freest is undoubtedly Grandma Hedgehog, who had turned three generations of Lin Hao's family into her rides.
"Long time no see, help me prep a docking port later, after the meeting, A Bai and I are going out to sea to tow back that research ship deploying sonars."
Ansheng, lying on Lin Ying's shoulder, greeted Grandma Hedgehog, who was about to light a cigarette.
"Huh?"
The Golden Edge Hedgehog froze upon hearing, mouth slightly open, the custom-made cigarette dropping onto the velvet as she looked at Master Fuli in shock and said:
"No....."
"You say towing what back? That dumb dog really mistook a Burke-class destroyer for a research ship?"
"What do you plan on doing with that thing!?"
