Star: Every enemy makes me stronger

They landed directly outside Mineral City.

The Mineral City at this time was a little different from what Liu Cheng remembered.

I don’t know if it’s because of the large-scale afforestation on planet ST44732 that the smell of sand in the air has become less strong.

The sky also became a little bluer.

Going to Fat Tiger's company did not require so many people, so some people stayed on the spacecraft to continue working, while others went into the city to purchase some supplies.

Only a few people accompanied Liu Cheng and Augustine to Fat Tiger's company.

After a few people entered the city, they took a few hover taxis. After Liu Cheng gave the address, several taxis drove towards Fat Hu's company.

The address was told to him by Fat Hu.

Although Liu Cheng had been to Fat Tiger's company before, he could not remember the address.

Therefore, Liu Cheng communicated with Fat Hu via video in advance.

On the one hand, it is to confirm the specific address of the company, and on the other hand, it is also to confirm whether he is on this planet now.

Several people came to Fat Tiger's company and found that the company had many warehouses, but most of them were empty.

There are also seven transport spacecraft docked on the apron in front of the warehouse.

Several people walked into the company and identified themselves with the staff, who then guided them to Fat Hu's office.

Contrary to Liu Cheng's expectation, Fat Tiger did not play with women in the office this time.

Instead, he was smoking and playing mahjong with three employees.

After seeing Liu Cheng and his party arriving, Fat Hu asked the employees to go out first, and then greeted Liu Cheng and his party with a smile:

“Brother Butcher, long time no see!

Have you been promoted in the army recently? "

Liu Cheng was stunned when he heard this and said with a smile:

"Fat brother, it's true that we haven't seen each other for half a year. How do you know that I have been promoted again?"

This time it was Fat Tiger's turn to show a confused expression.

He just asked casually, half jokingly, half politely, and he was really right.

Fat Tiger looked surprised and said:

“Brother Butcher, have you really been promoted again?

Doesn't it mean that you are now the platoon leader of the special operations force? ! "

Seeing this, Liu Cheng also understood that Fat Hu had just said something casually before, so he smiled and replied:

"Yes, he is already the platoon leader.

Fat brother, how is your business lately? "

Fat Tiger shook his head, his eyes were dull, and he said:

“Hey, I’m just like that, I’m not doing well in business.

Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, who are these? "

Liu Cheng introduced:

“This is my partner, and together we opened a company that deals in trash business.

The following few are employees of our company. "

Liu Cheng did not reveal Augustine's name, which was what Augustine had specifically ordered before arriving.

Augustine wanted to observe Fat Tiger's behavior.

He is so famous that if his identity is revealed in advance, it will definitely change the attitude of the people around him towards him.

There will still be some impact to some extent.

Fat Hu was not stupid either. Seeing the other party's attitude, he immediately knew that Liu Cheng was not going to introduce the other party's identity to him.

However, he still introduced himself:

"I, Fat Tiger, are glad to meet you."

Fat Tiger stretched out his hand and shook Augustine's hand.

"Hello."

Augustine smiled and nodded.

As for the company employees behind Liu Cheng, Fat Hu didn't intend to say hello to them one by one.

He and their boss, the butcher, are brothers, and then greeting these employees one by one, his status is somewhat unjustifiable.

It’s not that he looks down on these employees and feels like he’s suing them.

But if he shows the same importance to these employees as he does to Liu Cheng.

Could it be that Liu Cheng, the boss, was mixed up with these employees?

Fat Tiger greeted Liu Cheng and Augustine Luo, and showed them tea.

As for the few employees brought by Liu Cheng, they were asked to sit anywhere at the door.

"Brother Butcher, you have become a platoon leader, do you still have the energy to run the company?"

Fat Tiger asked curiously, which was considered as opening up the conversation.

"Actually, when I was on the front line, I was basically the hands-off shopkeeper. It was my partners and employees who took care of the company's affairs."

Hearing this, Fat Hu glanced at Augustine and made some guesses about his relationship with Liu Cheng.

"Brother Butcher, you came to me this time. Do you need my help with something?"

Liu Cheng nodded and said:

"So be it.

Our company is mainly engaged in the tissue and organ business of alien organisms, and there is a huge demand for transportation services.

On the other hand, I remember that Fat Brother, you wanted to buy some star core fragments from me before to improve your strength.

I came here this time with the intention of giving you some star core fragments. "

Fat Tiger smiled and shook his head, his expression showing both helplessness and bitterness.

He said to Liu Cheng:

"Brother Butcher, I appreciate your kindness, but now I can't spare much money to buy star core fragments."

Liu Cheng couldn't help but feel surprised and asked:

"Fat brother, your company doesn't have extra funds now. Is it related to the fact that the company's business is not doing well as you mentioned before?"

Fat Tiger hesitated to speak, but finally nodded:

"Brother Butcher, you are not an outsider, so I will tell you the truth.

Do you still remember the malicious competition in the business field that I mentioned to you before you left planet ST44732? "

Liu Chengdao:

"I remember you said at the time that you encountered some obstacles in the business world and saw the reality clearly.

You said that to do business anywhere, you must either be strong or have deep social connections."

Fat Tiger said:

"That's right.

That's why I asked you to sell me some extra high-quality star core fragments.

But now, I don't need them anymore."

Liu Cheng was puzzled:

"Is the competition in business not so fierce?"

Fat Tiger shook his head and said:

"On the contrary."

After that, he opened the lily leaf of a window.

Pointing to the uninterrupted flow of ore transport vehicles going back and forth in the distance, he said:

"Since your military has pushed the front line forward as a whole, the star field where ST44732 is located has become much safer.

In addition, before you left, Brother Butcher, the military thoroughly cleaned up the alien creatures on the planet ST44732.

Now the number of mining companies entering the planet ST44732 to produce mineral resources has increased by more than ten times.

Therefore, the competition for long-distance star field transportation business has become more intense.

The large companies that were unwilling to take risks before have also expanded their transportation business to this planet.

We, the smaller transportation companies, originally relied on the fact that no large company was willing to take risks in the star field close to the front line, and our business scope did not cover this area.

We took the risk to seize the business opportunity and started our business.

Now, our business share has been completely eroded by these large companies.

Those mining companies have large interstellar transportation companies to choose from, and will not choose to hire small interstellar transportation companies like us at all."
