Chapter 553: Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting (Ultimate Goal Part One)

It was no wonder the Bureau Chief was so shocked. If he wanted to buy a tank or a fighter jet, that would be still within reason. But he wanted a satellite... a satellite, not a plane!
“Yes. I have too much money and no place to spend it, so I plan to buy a satellite and squander some of my fortune.” It was getting really difficult to spend money now. After all, he could not really get a whole fleet of fighter jets for the two aircraft carriers, could he?
Once he finished saying that, he added another sentence, “Of course, it would be best if I could get a pair...”
Anyone ever heard of people buying satellites in pairs?
The Bureau Chief had never met anyone like that.
He went silent on the other end of the line for a few seconds, before finally asking, “Dali, are you developing an interest in military technology? If you are really interested, I will help you ask the military about it and see if they can procure two satellites for you. What do you think?”
If the brat Hong Dali was really interested in military technology, they would get him a nuclear bomb—no, not that, he could not have that—they would get him anything else he wanted, not to mention two satellites.
Although the Bureau Chief asked the question tentatively, his heart was filled with hope.
“Oh, not really,” Hong Dali replied matter-of-factly. “There’s a fool with me who says he wants to get a satellite so he can secretly peep at girls bathing.”
“My heart...” A sound that went “plop” was heard coming from the end of the line, and the Bureau Chief’s heart almost skipped a beat. That brat should not be so annoying! He wanted a pair of satellites because some fool next to him wanted to use them to peep at people?!
With that amount of money, could he not have just gotten girls to queue up in front of him and take his pick? Did he have to use high-end technology like satellites?
It was lucky there was no other military personnel next to him. Otherwise, they would have been exasperated to the point of death by the little brat. He had seen people squander, but never one on such scale. Buying satellites to peep at people...
This was practically every man’s dream, was it not?! He could spy on whoever he wanted to, it even came with satellite positioning...
To be honest, the Bureau Chief was really a little jealous. Hong Dali was just worried about how he should spend money, but he had to worry about his plan. He had lost quite a bit of hair in the past few days. When he woke up in the morning, his pillow was covered with hair.
No matter what, the Bureau Chief was sure of one thing—Hong Dali had to squander, and they had to fully support him! So, the Bureau Chief considered and said, “Okay, in that case, wait a while. I’m not familiar with satellites, I will help you ask about it. Brat, you really have some great ideas. Who suggested the satellites?”
“A fool.” Hong Dali laughed merrily and said, “He’s quite interesting, and we get along quite well.”
“All right, damn, wait for my news.” The Bureau Chief then hung up.
“Dali, these satellites, can we really buy them?” When the phone call ended, Tang Muxin asked him softly, “Satellites should be considered key national projects, right? Can they really be sold to you? What will you use them for? You can’t possibly be planning to use them to peep at girls bathing?”
“Ah, this.” Hong Dali thought about it before giving a classic Hong Dali reply. “Buy first, decide later. Anyway, I just want to splurge, I just want to squander!” After saying that, he added, “I actually feel quite excited when I think about it. When I get the satellites, I can spy on whoever I want to. It’s best if I install infrared imaging, too. Then, I won’t have to worry about buildings...”
“Dali,” Tang Muxin smiled diabolically. “If you dare to look, I promise I won’t kill you!”
“Ah, hahaha, I’m joking, just joking...” Hong Dali quickly changed the subject. “Why is the Bureau Chief not done with the phone call...”
It did not take long before the Bureau Chief called back. “Dali, I asked about it for you. The only satellites we can provide you with now are military communication satellites. Satellites are graded according to their purpose. There are reconnaissance satellites, military communication satellites, military navigation satellites, military meteorological satellites, military geodetic satellites, early-warning satellites, interception satellites, anti-satellite satellites, and nuclear explosion detection satellites. Which type do you want?”
“Eh? So many types?” Hong Dali was surprised. “In that case, I have to think carefully about it.”
And so, the few of them laughed as they squatted on the floor drawing circles, deciding what satellite they should buy.
Hong Dali: “I think this reconnaissance satellite looks good. I guess this would be the obvious choice for a voyeur?”
Lin Chuyin: “Oh, intercepting satellites or anti-satellite satellites should be more practical.” She meant practical for her usage...
Tang Muxin: “We should get a military navigation satellite. Look at the sea, there’s nothing but water everywhere. It’s hard to tell which direction is which. It will come in useful when we are navigating while sailing!”
Hong Dali: “This is good, buy this one first!”
Lucifer: “We must buy the reconnaissance satellite. It’s the absolute best for spying on people. I have long wanted to see the beaches in Hawaii. It’s rumored that the women there are gorgeous! The face of an angel, the body of a devil!”
Hong Dali thought about it. “Well, one surveillance satellite, one navigation satellite, one interception satellite!” Then, he looked at Li Nianwei again. “Sister Nianwei, do you want to buy one, too?”
Li Nianwei did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “I... don’t need one? I don’t spy on others...”
“That’s true...” Hong Dali rubbed his chin. “In that case, let’s just buy three first. We’ll get more if they’re not enough!”
Tang Muxin: “...” Lucifer: “...” Li Nianwei: “...” Ling Xiaoyi: “...”
Did he think they were dumplings? Get more if they were insufficient?
Hong Dali spoke into the smartphone. “Uncle Chief, I am done choosing. I will buy three first. I want a surveillance satellite, a navigation satellite, and an interception satellite! We don’t need the others, for now, so we will buy them in the future when we need them.”
“Brat!” The Bureau Chief raged. “Are you trying to drive me to my grave? I thought we agreed to buy one pair? Why has it become three now?”
Hong Dali laughed. “Ah, changes always happen faster than plans are made. Uncle Chief, you’re the best. I know you can make it happen!”
Bureau Chief: “...” What exactly was in this brat’s brain? Did he even know what satellites were...
“I will try my best.” The Bureau Chief was extremely depressed. “I’m getting you three satellites to spy on people for fun, what in the world...” He may say that, but Hong Dali’s squandering had to be supported no matter what. In the end, the Bureau Chief could only say, “Wait for my news, brat.”
After they had hung up, the Bureau Chief said, troubled, “Three satellites, does Hong Dali even know what they are...”
Mu Huishou did not know if he should laugh or cry. He said, “Bureau Chief, why don’t we just get him the three satellites? Anyway, I know that everything Young Master Dali does will have unexpected gains. Somehow, I feel that there will be some benefits if we were to get him those three satellites.”
“That’s true. According to his usual style, it should not be much of a problem to get him three satellites.” The Bureau Chief thought about it before he instructed. “Let’s do it this way. Huishou, you go look for that old fellow, An Yangxu. Tell him what Dali has asked for and ask him to think of a way.”
“Alright. I will go now.”
Mu Huishou left immediately. When the office was empty, the Bureau Chief rubbed his chin. “This little brat reminded me when he said that changes always happen faster than plans are made. He and Weiguo, this father and son duo, are really good at doing the unexpected. Is something unexpected about to happen this time, too?”
In the end, it seemed that Hong Dali’s words would be coming true!
Having thought that, the Bureau Chief’s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and looked at it. With an “Eh?” he quickly answered the phone. “Blood Demon? Where are you? Why have you called me at this time? Did something happen?”
The Blood Demon had sneaked into Jaban after changing his face and was ready to assassinate the president of the Toyoda Conglomerate, Tarō Gohon. He had called at this time because he had some important news!
“Bureau Chief.” From the other end of the line came the voice of the Blood Demon speaking in slightly unpolished Chinese. “I just killed a ninja from the Toyoda Conglomerate and obtained some unexpected news, so I wanted to tell you about it.”
There was really some unexpected news! Was this the change that happened faster than the plans?!
“Well? What is it? Tell me quickly!” Once the Bureau Chief heard that it had something to do with the Toyoda Conglomerate, he immediately asked in a hurry, “What kind of news?”
“It’s related to Young Master Dali.” The Blood Demon said slowly, “Hattori Jiro, the leader of the Iga Ninjas belonging to the Toyoda Conglomerate, is now in Tianhai, and his target is Hong Weiguo.”
“Hattori Jiro is going to assassinate Hong Weiguo?!” The Bureau Chief was initially shocked, then overjoyed. “How is Hattori Jiro’s ability like?”
“Based on the description, he is stronger than me.” The Blood Demon replied, “According to the ninja that I killed, Hattori Jiro has special abilities due to mutant genes like the Zerg Queen Zhang Yi. He is very powerful.”
“Okay, I got it!” The Bureau Chief gritted his teeth. “Thank you for providing such important information!”
“You are too polite. I will still need you, Bureau Chief, to take care of me when I settle down in the Heavenly State after killing Tarō Gohon.”
“No problem!”
When he hung up the phone, the Bureau Chief felt completely relieved. He was so excited he spun a few rounds in his office. As he spun, he cried, “It’s great, it’s great! Haha. The plan will go on as planned. We can finally relax a little!”
It was refreshing like a blast of cold air-conditioned air on a sweaty body after coming in from outside on a sweltering hot day!
The Bureau Chief hurriedly instructed. “Guards, have everyone gather at the large conference room. I have something important to announce!”
Soon, all the leaders in the entire Tianhai Military District Headquarters building gathered. The Bureau Chief walked in beaming. Once he stepped through the door, he laughed. “Ahhh, we have finally made it this time. Shiroishi Kazuma has ordered the head of the Iga Ninjas, Hattori Jiro, to assassinate Hong Weiguo.”
As soon as they heard what the Bureau Chief said, everyone was overjoyed. They laughed and said, “This time, all our patience has finally paid off! This complicated, roundabout plan that we have staged to impeach Hong Weiguo while actually entrapping Qian Guangzhao is finally coming to fruition. Hahaha!”
“Right, I think everyone knows by now!” The Bureau Chief pounded the table viciously. “Although we have gone in such a big circle this time, our ultimate goal is to secretly manipulate the Jaban State’s Toyoda Conglomerate!”
