Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

"You should know that I've already lost out. No matter how expensive or valuable the wine is, it can't effectively fill my stomach."

Shan Mingliang added a sentence.

"Boss Shan is right."

Lin Luo sneered inwardly.

This guy, Shan Mingliang, isn't just shameless; he's genuinely shameless.

It makes the liquor seem like it's not brewed from grains, but is completely like water.

While Moutai liquor may not effectively fill your stomach, it can provide sufficient calories.

In some respects, liquor is more useful than food.

People living in Siberia rely entirely on vodka to go out in the low temperatures.

I drink several sips of vodka every time I go out to keep myself warm enough to resist the cold.

"Now you can prepare it and send it to me. It's seven o'clock now, and you must send it to me by seven-thirty, otherwise everything I said is null and void."

Shan Mingliang warned.

"Boss Shan, you know that words are not enough."

Lin Luo hesitated again.

"What do you mean? Can't you trust my character?"

"I can't believe it," Shan Mingliang said impatiently.

"Haha, I've only just met Boss Shan, so I don't really know what kind of person you are."

Lin Luo felt the time was right and it was time to fight back.

"Go out and find out what kind of person I, Shan Mingliang, am. Would I go back on my word because of something you have in your possession?"

Shan Mingliang pounded his chest angrily.

Lin Luo said calmly, "Boss Shan's efforts in going from a vegetable market vendor to a big boss are definitely beyond my reach. His intelligence goes without saying, and he must have defeated many competitors along the way. I don't think I can do it."

"How do you know so much?"

Shan Mingliang asked in an unfriendly tone.

"Haha, Boss Shan, don't worry about that. It's a secret that can't be told."

Lin Luo smiled.

He obtained this information from Tian Xiaoyu, who knew many people.

Shan Mingliang is a prominent figure in Jinghai City. No matter how much he tries to cover up his past, he cannot completely erase it.

As the manager of the space station security company, Tian Xiaoyu has come into contact with a lot of people and must know a lot of things.

It's not surprising that she knew about Shan Mingliang's deeds.

"Since you refuse to agree to my demands, it seems there's no need for our deal to continue."

"That's such a pity."

"Lin Luo! How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who's on the other end of the phone? That's a big shot who could crush you in a minute."

Shan Mingliang dialed a voice call and yelled at Lin Luo.

"I know, so what?"

Lin Luo said calmly.

"Since you don't trust my character, we can terminate this deal."

Shan Mingliang suppressed his anger.

"casual."

Lin Luo said calmly.

"you!"

Dan Mingliang was even more furious that Lin Luo agreed so readily.

The contest between the two has unknowingly shifted from Shan Mingliang having the upper hand to Lin Luo having the upper hand.

"You will regret this."

Shan Mingliang was in a fit of impotent rage.

"hope so."

Lin Luo calmly replied, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Wait a minute, tell me your terms now. Don't try anything funny. My patience is limited."

The thought of the delicious meal made Shan Mingliang forcefully suppress his anger.

"Boss Shan, please transfer me five million. That way I'll feel more secure."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The temperature will rise tomorrow. With my five million, I can buy hundreds of barbecues or Thai food."

"You misunderstood, I didn't mean to buy."

Lin Luo explained, "This five million is a deposit from Boss Shan. In case you don't fulfill your promise, I'll have some compensation."

"Five million is too much."

Dan Mingliang hesitated.

"If Boss Shan is unwilling to give up even five million, then there is no need to continue the deal."

Lin Luo sighed: "I thought that Boss Shan would be quite bold to have reached his current position. Now it seems that I overestimated you. If you don't even have this much courage, there is no need for this deal to continue."

"You're looking down on me."

Dan Mingliang roared, "Do you know what I used to do?"

"Selling salted fish?"

Lin Luo pretended not to understand and asked.

"I sell fish, not dried salted fish."

Shan Mingliang couldn't help but offer an explanation.

"They're all selling fish, so there doesn't seem to be much difference between them."

"Can you wait until I finish speaking? You keep interrupting others, which makes you seem very impolite."

"I used to sell fish. The bigger the waves, the higher the price of fish. I've seen all kinds of waves. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"I can say that," Shan Mingliang said confidently.

"I trust Mr. Shan, you can transfer the five million to me now."

Lin Luo continued.

Dan Mingliang stared blankly for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

Lin Luo had set a trap for him, and he had fallen into it without hesitation.

“I can give you five million, but the barbecue will be increased from four to ten servings, the five-star banquet will be increased to ten tables, and the Thai dishes will be twelve servings.”

"You're just asking for trouble."

"What do you mean? Why are you swearing at me like this? Aren't you afraid I'll get angry?"

"I asked in a deep voice," Shan Mingliang asked.

He thought Lin Luo would discuss with him reducing the amount of food served.

Dan Mingliang didn't expect Lin Luo to be so straightforward and directly greet him.

"Isn't my meaning clear enough? I already said that you lent me five million, and I'm just holding onto it. I'm not just buying things. Once you've resolved my issues, I'll return your five million to you."

Lin Luo feigned anger and said, "This is a big boss with a net worth of over 10 billion? You're so stingy with even five million. I really look down on you."

"Stop talking nonsense. It's just five million. I'll transfer it to you right now. Give me your bank account number."

Shan Mingliang said impulsively.

"Now that's more like a boss."

Lin Luo gave them his bank account number.

Soon, a message was sent to Lin Luo, showing that his bank balance had increased from 1.25 yuan to 5 million yuan.

"I've already transferred the money to you. Now you can deliver the food to my house, right?"

Shan Mingliang urged.

"That's definitely not a problem."

Lin Luo nodded and said.

“It’s already eight o’clock. You must deliver the food to my house before eight twenty.”

"Couldn't it be a little later? I have other things to do."

"Lin Luo, don't try anything funny. I've already given you the money. You'd better give it to me as soon as possible."

"I'm furious," Shan Mingliang said.

"Boss Shan, you seem to be in such a hurry, did you skip dinner?"

Lin Luo asked with a smile.

"Don't try to be funny with me, I'll definitely eat tonight."

Shan Mingliang stubbornly insisted.

He saw the photos Lin Luo posted, and he could no longer eat the food at home.

Shan Mingliang originally thought the negotiations would end quickly and that Lin Luo would deliver the food as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the two sides have been arguing for so long, and neither has eaten yet.

This wasn't Shan Mingliang's doing; it was Lin Luo's doing.

Shan Mingliang felt a sense of existential unease.

Previously, it was Lin Luo who begged him, but now it's Shan Mingliang who's begging Lin Luo.
