Chapter 281 Hello Philanthropist
Even though the development history of many civilizations in the galaxy is not exactly the same, auctions, an open bidding transaction where whoever has the money can get the target object, is still a common business method for transferring property among many civilizations in the galaxy.
Auction houses are often the gathering places for successful people and wealthy people with too much money to spend.
Yan An and Principal Wu, successful people from Tengxi Star, are in a room where an auction is going on. There are a group of local tycoons like Yan An and Principal Wu, as well as alien tycoons and interstellar nobles gathered here.
"Fifteen Plates. Is there anyone else bidding? "The gear man, who was a deep space gray, was standing in front of the podium and shouting out the price.
Principal Wu turned around and whispered to Yan An, "Brother Yan, I just can't figure it out."
"What?"
"I have always wondered why aliens also use decimal system for counting."
"We have been here for more than a year. Are you just asking this question now?" Yan An said in a low voice.
“This is the question that I have always had in my heart.”
"Perhaps it is a commonality that occurs when civilizations develop to a certain stage, or perhaps there were alien visitors who gave guidance in the early stages of Earth's civilization."
"That's what I thought. There are many ancient sites on Earth that are said to be left . For example, there are such rumors about the pyramids in Egypt."
"Since I've seen so many weird aliens, I've become suspicious of everything on Earth."
Principal Wu smiled and said, "It is also possible that what we see are not decimal units at all. It is just that when we receive information, the smart nanometers in our bodies automatically translate the information into units that we can understand."
Yan An thought it made sense and nodded. He glanced at Principal Wu. After more than a year of life on the alien planet, Principal Wu's head was no longer as smooth as when he first came. Instead, it was a head of shiny, eye-catching thick hair.
In fact, not long ago, Principal Wu still had a bald head. The local gear civilization does not have the concept of hair loss. Sometimes, mold-like spots will grow on the gelatinous body between their gears. This is the stubborn disease that the locals and Earth people are facing as seriously as hair loss. Of course, the gear people will never use products such as wigs.
Over the past year, Yan An and Principal Wu have been busy with their own business while collecting information about the earth. Surrounded by gear people, Principal Wu has no hair on his head and will not attract any unkind looks. But recently, a gear person curiously asked Principal Wu how he managed to keep his head so smooth, because the gelatin on his head had some small black spots, which made him very sad. Yan An suspected that it was this question that deeply stimulated Principal Wu.
Then Principal Wu bought a hair growth agent on the Star Internet and applied it on his head. After just one day, Principal Wu's head was reborn. No, out of nowhere, a thick and shiny black hair appeared and quickly covered his head. With hair, Principal Wu became the elegant and gentle middle-aged intellectual he knew. After that, Principal Wu began to wander in front of Yan An with a confident attitude of "I am reborn". While Yan An was happy for him, he was reminded of his homesickness by his familiar appearance.
Earth, they still haven't found out any information about their hometown.
According to their current intelligence, the central capital of the galactic civilization is a planet called Idan. The galactic civilization encompasses hundreds of billions of galaxies. Among them, the Homo sapiens civilization is spread all over the galaxy, and the earth is just a drop in the ocean among many nameless planets dominated by Homo sapiens. Without coordinates, finding such a planet is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
They did not give up hope.
Yan An firmly believes that one day he will find his hometown and reunite with his family.
But then, as if God wanted to prove that alien planets should not be places for them to live for long, Principal Wu's hair suddenly changed after remaining black for a day.
That day, Yan An heard screams coming from Principal Wu’s bedroom.
“Aaaaaaah!”
Yan An rushed over and pushed open the door. He stared blankly at the top of Principal Wu's head.
Principal Wu's newly grown black and shiny hair suddenly turned into a turquoise green overnight. What's even more strange is that some of the hair has tiny leaves growing on it. He originally had a square and gaunt face, but now he had a head of green hair, and the picture was very strange for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Yan An said, "You're cheating."
"Shut up!!"
Principal Wu angrily shaved off all the green hair, but then the green hair grew back within a few minutes. They were as tenacious as weeds, and they grew back after being shaved. He angrily called the product complaint number, but the customer service told him that this hair growth factor was environmentally friendly and harmless, and that this situation was not caused by product quality issues, but by the local water and soil environment of Tengxixing. If you want to stop the growth of this green hair, just stop drinking water for ten days and all the green hair follicles will die of thirst.
Considering that people will die if they don't drink water for three days, facing Principal Wu's situation, Yan An used his connections to investigate this company. He soon discovered that this company was not a legitimate online shopping company at all, but a local shell company. It purchased key columns for certain keyword searches on web pages, allowing customers who need to shop to mistakenly enter its web pages. The products it provides are all local counterfeits that are similar to the original products. As for the quality of this company's products, Principal Wu's tragic head can testify.
Now, all the active hair follicles on Principal Wu’s head are these suspicious green follicles. The doctor said that this green pigment will not cause harm to his body, but it will take at least three years to completely eliminate it. This is a huge blow to Principal Wu.
Principal Wu was not the first victim. Many local gear workers had also suffered from this. After Yan An's inquiries, he found that some of his gear workers were also victims of this fraudulent shell company.
Yan An's position in Tenxi Star is no longer what it used to be. After he reported the case, the local law enforcement department seemed quite helpless. After communicating, he learned that this fraudulent shell company was extremely cunning, and even if they tracked and located and destroyed their dens many times, they could not find any effective evidence. It took advantage of the legal loopholes that protected local products, and all the products were similar to the original products, and the main culprit even claimed that he was just an outsourced web programmer and knew nothing. Every time he was arrested, Mora Gear could only stay in jail for a few days for a misdemeanor.
A few days later, Yan An learned that the main culprit, Mora Gear Hobbing, had opened a new shell company. This meant that he was going to make a comeback. He thought about it and found a few Gear Man employees he trusted to make arrangements.
So, from that day on, Maura Hobbing's unhappy life began.
The shoddy goods it ordered were shoddy products, but they could never be delivered. The local shoddy product suppliers it could find seemed to have taken the wrong medicine collectively. As long as the order came from Mora Hobbing, these suppliers all agreed to receive the deposit , but when it came time to deliver the goods, they told it that its goods had been swept away by the flood. Its business was stuck like this.
Then, these suppliers took the orders they received and surrendered to the police, confessing their past crimes and asking for severe punishment for the main culprit. So Mora Gear Hobbing was taken to the police station.
Just when Mora Grinding insisted that he had nothing to do with the matter, Yan An met him in the temporary detention center.
"My friend has suffered great physical and mental harm because of you," said Yan An.
"I am innocent."
"No, you've ripped off a lot of really innocent people with your junk products."
"I'm innocent. I'm just a web programmer. I know you, a great new local businessman." Mora Hobber's gears made a strange noise. "You, a Homo sapiens, are using a small windmill to cheat people. You started your business by cheating like this. You are a liar."
"I was talking about the possibility of luck from the beginning," Yan An said, "and my windmill has never hurt anyone."
"The essence of deception is the same, Homo sapiens." Mora Gear hobbing raised one of its gear arms. "It's the same in business. For example, customers who want to buy goods but are greedy for small bargains can avoid such mistakes if they just check carefully. But they are greedy and rigid, so who can blame them?"
"When I first started, I noticed that the gear people here were extremely organized. You're a little different."
"Orderly? No, they are just too lazy to change and don't want to observe. They can be relaxed and safe by following their old habits." Mora Gear Roll said, "I say again, I am innocent."
"Mr. Hobbing, when my windmills became a symbol of luck in people's hearts, when they entered Silk Run for an oil bath, this mentality would bring them a glimmer of hope for a better future, and commercial profits included this kind of mood. Apart from that, I have not actually hurt anyone." Yan An said, "But you are different."
"You mean that those people who were deceived by you and made money from you should kneel down and thank you, right?"
Yan An pushed a piece of paper in front of Mora Grinding Gear.
"What is this?" Mora Gear Roller glanced at it. "Hmm? I know this. This is the natural gas development ."
"I know, because you invested all of your recent ill-gotten gains into this project."
"What are you talking about?"
"Because the financial advisor you recently consulted recommended that you invest in this, right?"
"How do you know that?"
"Just like those search items you used to confuse the innocent guests, there is a financial management point across from your company."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is," Yan An smiled and clicked on an electronic screen, "There are actually two planets with the same name as Dean. One is a resource planet with abundant natural gas, and the other is a supernova that is exploding. Unfortunately, the investment you purchased is the latter."
"Ah..." Mora Hob yelled, "This, this is you!!"
"In fact, they could have avoided this mistake if they had looked carefully." Yan An repeated what he had just said. "Do you understand the victim's feelings now?"
"You liar! You stole my hard-earned money!!"
"You and your suppliers bought the latter because you were not careful enough."
"I said, why are those bastards..."
"As a kind-hearted philanthropist, I am willing to compensate those who were not careful enough and suffered losses."
Mora Grinding looked at Yan An and said, "Okay, hello, philanthropist. I did it all. I am willing to plead guilty."
