Chapter 236: Chapter 200: The Plan to Spend Money like Crazy (Please Subscribe!) _2
When Tang Qing first saw this plan and the criteria used for making decisions, he knew that there was a 90 percent chance that Lei Peng’s family would be considered a dangerous target by the analysts and slated for elimination. The criteria were unbelievably strict. If an individual have traits such as being vengeful, overly sensitive, having a distorted mentality, violent tendencies, or even a history of violent crimes in the past ten years, they would automatically be marked for elimination.
Tang Qing was utterly dumbfounded by these conditions. He thought that the individuals in the command room were crazy to order the killing of people so easily. But then again, it was not unwarranted.
Crazy people belong in asylums.
Regardless, Tang Qing decided not to interfere. Showing mercy to enemies could be cruel to oneself. He didn’t want to do such a thing, yet he had no choice. Even if Lei Peng’s family were good people, if his son posed a threat, they would have a strong motive and the ability to seek revenge on Tang Qing’s family. They would still pose a threat whether the son were to end up in prison, become a vegetable, or die.
After all, if their son were to die or become a vegetable, and their sympathy were to take control - ha, trouble would certainly ensue. Tang Qing had no interest in waiting for their retaliation. Therefore, Tang Qing concluded that he would have to go through with it regardless. To protect his family’s safety, he had to do it, even if it meant playing the executioner. He didn’t want to live a life filled with regret, so he decided it would be better for others to do so instead.
This struggle was all about interests, not morality or right and wrong. Just like the capital, protecting one’s family is instinctive.
The first plan had already been put into action. A maximum budget of 50 million RMB had been authorized; however, within a minute, Tang Yi had spent 40 million, which made his heart twitch. This money could disappear so quickly; luckily there was a ’harvesting’ part in the plan, otherwise losing 50 million RMB would be a heartache for him.
Simultaneously, the second plan had also started to be implemented. The system proved to be highly capable - forging ID information was a piece of cake, and it even provided free passports, though limited to robots only. Tang Qing joked, "Even robots get passports, I as the boss do not receive such treatment." But no matter how much he complained, the system ignored him.
Compared to plan No. 6793, plan No. 6794 was much more complex. The general idea was to infiltrate and expand. In the early stage, some robots were sent to join the various forces as their underlings, and then started gathering intelligence, carrying out assassinations, framing others, muddying the waters, opening up pathways with money, causing chaos, committing extortion ... the list of strategies was endless.
And this was not even the final plan. The command room still had no clear understanding of the composition of the forces in Bangkok, so they would need to improvise according to the situations they would face. The new people, new events, emergencies, follow-up plans, and the list of their details did not seem to have an end. If the whole plan were to be carried out, the length of the plan and records would probably total tens of millions of words or more.
Alright, Tang Qing felt that he underestimated it before. He initially thought it would be just some killing and land grabbing. He didn’t expect there to be so many tricks involved. When he first heard about the precise targeting and extreme calculations, he felt creepy. Fortunately, these were his people – if they were enemies, he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
Behind a massive plan like this was, of course, massive spending. The budget for the second plan was as high as 200 million RMB. Just from this report, it involved at least 30 soldiers and 10 intelligence analysts. The cost for just the robots was nearly 100 million RMB. Along with other costs and later exchanges, 200 million was not excessive. Although it was expensive.
Therefore, as of now, Tang Qing was sitting in his car, staring at the scenery outside the window, with tears in his heart.
Two hundred and fifty million was gone just like that. That was his arbitrage profit for over half a month.
Absolutely ridiculous.
......
Four hours later, Tang Qing and Sun Chao returned to Qingyan City.
At the same time, the personnel for the Bangkok plan had already departed from Yunnan Province and boarded a plane to Bangkok. Of course, they couldn’t all use the teleportation device, they only used one, the robot that was carrying a relative transfer node device in its bag.
Tang Qing had been thinking about how this gadget was going to be carried by the robot. It was both large and conspicuous, and whether it would be allowed to be carried on was a question in itself. For this reason, he had asked the system if there was a solution, and then... this gadget had somehow turned into a ping pong ball. Yes, it was a damn ping pong ball.
When Tang Qing saw that the black ball in the robot’s hand had become a ping pong ball in the blink of an eye, his mind went haywire for a moment. Can it even be played like that? System, you’re seriously bending the rules here.
It was only after the system explained that Tang Qing finally understood why this was possible.
In simple terms, the relative transfer node device is a kind of existence similar to the system, existing in a state between existence and non-existence, without size and weight, it’s an infinitely small point. Tang Qing thought, "No wonder it’s called a node, it’s just a point."
This space node device had an outer layer made up of a special kind of matter, the primary purpose being to isolate and locate the node, as well as to limit the objects and sizes of the teleportation. Therefore, the shell was like the ’machine casing’ of the space node. As for the operating system itself, it’s a kind of field force in that matter that can change the form of microscopic particles of the matter.Overall, this thing can transform into any closed object, but the size cannot exceed that of the previous black ball."
The system rambled on, expressing something along these lines. Tang Qing, however, didn’t fully understand.
Alright, system, you win. Tang Qing was befuddled by this round of explanation. It’s all high-end stuff, but there’s no use since we can’t obtain the manufacturing technology.
...
It was already six o’clock when he arrived in Qingyan City.
Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Qing went straight back to his uncle’s house. He planned to give the gifts for the Lin family and his parents in a couple of days because the day after tomorrow is his second cousin Qin Shiqi’s birthday. During the last family gathering, Mother Tang mentioned the family would celebrate it properly this time. In the past, Tang’s parents were doing business in the county, and they could only make phone calls whenever Qin Shiyu had her birthday, vowing to make up for it this time.
This partly explained why Tang Qing bought so many things for each person. If he just bought for Qin Shiyu, Qin Shiqi might stay quiet but he guessed she’d want the presents too. Therefore, he decided it was only fair to buy for everyone.
After getting out of the car outside the neighborhood, Tang Qing asked Sun Chao to go back, and he carried upstairs three large plush toys and many gifts.
"Click..."
Tang Qing opened the door to his uncle’s house.
He saw a shadow rushing over, hugging one of the plush toys and not letting go, rubbing her face on it enthusiastically. If it wasn’t Qin Shiqi, then who could it be?
All the robots were still on the alert nearby, so there’s no way any bad guys could get in.
What surprised Tang Qing was that Qin Shiyu was also standing at the door, her eyes shining as she gazed at the big white bear in his hand. These bears came in three colors: white, pink, and light blue. The one Qin Shiqi was hugging was pink.
Of course, Tang Qing bought these according to their particular tastes. Qin Shiqi liked pink the most, while Qin Shiyu, a ’mild germaphobe with severe OCD,’ liked white. As for Lin Jiaxue, well... she liked anything he gave.
There were actually gray and brown ones in the shop as well, but those weren’t as fitting for gifting to girls. So, he had to choose a light blue one.
Judging by their reactions, they obviously saw him from the window and decided to ’wait by the stump for the bear’ at the door.
