Chapter 40: Mom's Request

  Walked out of the hospital and hailed a taxi straight to the airport.

  Gaoyang, who was feeling extremely hungry halfway through his journey, quickly got off the bus when he passed by a street food stall and walked in hastily.

  It was almost two o'clock in the morning, and the boss of the noodle stall said that only buckwheat noodles were left. Gaoyang, who was starving, didn't have any other requests as long as he could eat something.

  The boss quickly scooped the cooked buckwheat noodles from the pot and put them in a bamboo tray, poured cold water over them, and then served them to Gao Yang.

  "Is that it?" Gao Yang asked speechlessly. Although he was starving, this was too simple! It was just plain noodles, without even scallions or salt, how could he eat this?

  The boss quickly brought over a seasoning dish, with mustard, scallions, dried fish powder and fragrant oil. Gaoyang poured everything into the bowl in one go, stirred it hastily and started eating with big mouthfuls. "Mmm!" Without adding any other flour, the noodles were smooth and refreshing to eat, with an extremely fresh and delicious flavor. After finishing half a bowl in one breath, Gaoyang gave the boss a thumbs up, "Great!"

  "Are you here on vacation?" At this time, there was only one customer in the stall, and the boss also sat down beside Gao Yang, chatting with him for a few sentences.

  A bowl of noodles down the hatch, that unbearable hunger finally disappeared. After paying the bill and bidding farewell to the boss, Gao Yang hailed a taxi and continued on his way to the airport.

  Gao Yang has been staying in African mining areas for half a year recently, and there is a reason for this. Something very important is about to come out with results.

  Tak. Bongula. Ari is a young man from the Punu tribe village near the Gaoyang mine. He used to work in the Gaoyang mine, and half a year ago, the company gave all workers in the mining area an anti-malaria vaccine injection. Ari was also vaccinated, but what he didn't know at the time was that the doctor had given him a different vaccine from everyone else!

  And people in the same village only got vaccinated once and nothing happened afterwards. But I have to be taken to the clinic for a thorough examination every month!

  However, Ali didn't feel anything uncomfortable, on the contrary, he felt that his body was full of energy recently! His body is super strong! Even if he gets injured while mining, he will recover quickly!

  Ali injected a high-yang flower that cost 7,700 energy points from the origin to get genetic repair fluid!

  According to the original explanation, this medicine was used by natural human officers in their time and space. In that time and space, the physical qualities of natural humans were completely incomparable to those of biochemical warriors, so they developed this medicine that can greatly enhance the physical qualities of natural humans.

  Gao Yang wasn't interested in improving his physical quality, what he cared about was that after using it, it could greatly extend the natural lifespan of a human! This was an irresistible temptation for Gao Yang, not just for himself but also for his parents, loved ones and so on. The importance of this medicine in Gao Yang's eyes was more important than an Asian warship!

  However, unlike other things, this kind of medicine that directly acts on the human body, even if he guarantees with his life that there is no problem, he still doesn't dare to give it to his parents!

  Then, after careful selection, Mr. Ali was chosen as a trial user. During the six-month observation period, Mr. Ali's data showed that the drug had no problems and was really effective!

  Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief as he returned to the mine district villa and saw Mr. Ali's final physical examination report, finally completing an important task.

  Gao Yang, in a great mood, arrived at Libreville to head to Bern to visit his parents. Before boarding the plane, Gao Yang went to the port to load crude oil brought from 1925 onto the newly purchased second-hand 74,000 DWT Panamax tanker named Pu Lao.

  As the modern industrial goods purchased by Gao Yang arrived one after another, in 1925, Gao Yang, who had a large amount of funds, began to increase the number of crude oil purchases from Mobil. The two ships are not enough for transportation now, and previously, Gao Yang has ordered four 318,000-tonne eco-friendly VLCC oil tankers from China Shipbuilding Industry Trading Company and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. under the name of SC Trade, with a single ship price of up to $87 million!

  Gaoyang demanded a rush order, for which they paid an additional $100 million in engineering fees! The total contract value of $800 million made domestic shipbuilding companies overjoyed. They had originally planned to hold a grand press conference to publicize the deal, but Gaoyang required them not to disclose the buyer's information, otherwise the purchase contract would be invalid! Those who were originally going to loudly tout their achievements were all extremely depressed.

  His parents in Bern received a call from Gao Yang and specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for him. Although Gao Yang basically calls his parents every day, after all, it is a very distant distance, and this time he has been busy with various things for a long time without seeing his parents. Most importantly, since he went to college, the family has not had much time together.

  Around 7:40 in the evening, Gao Yang arrived at his own villa. At this time, the sky had already darkened. The gate opened and the bodyguard who came to pick him up skillfully drove the car into the parking lot. Gao Yang carried the special gifts he bought in Africa towards the living room.

  "Son." His father and mother had already heard the commotion and walked out of the living room to greet him. "Dad, Mom," Gao Yang excitedly went forward to hug his parents, while handing over the gift in his hand to the new butler, a genuine British gentleman standing aside.

  Jeffrey Stock, Baron Stock, is 61 years old this year. He served as the Lord Chamberlain of Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle for twenty years. After retirement, he was granted a barony by Her Majesty and has his own manor.

  Gao Yang invited him to be his butler through an intermediary after firing the previous one, but was politely declined by Baron Stock at first, as he was too old and it would be humiliating for a baron to serve as a butler for an Asian nouveau riche.

  However, after Gao Yang offered him a sky-high annual salary of 60 million pounds, Lord finally agreed, after all, in this era, there are too few things that cannot be solved with money.

  After Stock's housekeeper arrived, the villa was organized and tidy. His parents lived here very happily, and Gao Yang was still very satisfied with his work. Stock's housekeeper had rich experience, which could largely avoid the possibility of people with ulterior motives sneaking in.

  Entering the living room, he put his personal belongings and coat on the sofa beside him. "Mom has made so many delicious dishes!" Gao Yang said with a smile after taking a look at the dishes on the table. "Come sit down and eat quickly, they're all your favorite dishes." His mom said with a smile.

  Having dinner together as a family without any extra etiquette, chatting while eating created a great atmosphere. Just when the conversation was getting exciting, "I really want to hug my grandson," Mom suddenly said.

  "Huh!" Gao Yang's chopsticks, which were about to pick up a chicken egg, suddenly stopped in mid-air. His hesitant expression looked as if he was facing some kind of difficult problem.

  "What's wrong? You're not young anymore, aren't you prepared to get married?" Mom asked with a smile.

  Gao Yang turned his head and cast a pleading glance at his father. His dad seemed to have heard nothing, slightly lowering his head to continue eating with his bowl.

  "You're already almost thirty and still not married, how can that be?" Mom said with a hint of reproach.

  "Mom, I'm at the peak of my career right now and it's really busy. Where do I have time to fall in love?" Gaoyang said with a hint of helplessness "Without accumulating time, how can there be feelings? Without feelings, how can we get married? This is a lifelong thing."

  "What if you find a daughter-in-law who only likes our son for his money?" Dad finally spoke up.

  "What's the hurry? Didn't they say on TV that time is like toothpaste, squeeze a little and you'll have some. Our family is already so wealthy now, it's beyond my wildest dreams! Are you still busy? How much more money do you want to make? Isn't it enough to just get by? I don't care, but you must bring home a wife for Chinese New Year this year!" Mom slammed down her chopsticks and said indignantly, "A real wife, not some actress you paid to trick me!" With that, she got up and left the living room, leaving the father and son staring at each other in dismay.

  "Cough, I'm done eating too." Dad put down his bowl and chopsticks with a relaxed face and left, leaving behind a sentence "We need to hurry up now." Leaving Gao Yang alone in distress.

  Gaoyang only stayed for two days before bidding farewell to his parents and flying to Beidou. The business of SC Trade was getting bigger and bigger, and its reputation in the industry was gradually rising. The original rented office building could no longer meet the needs. Coincidentally, the landlord of the office building asked to increase the rent, so Gaoyang simply bought a newly built office building in Beidou's CBD. The office building is 260 meters high, with 57 floors above ground and 6 floors underground. The total area reaches 165,000 square meters.

  Because many floors had been leased out before the building was completed, Kou Hsiang paid more than $300 million in penalties for requiring a whole-building purchase. The total cost of this office building to Kou Hsiang was nearly $800 million! Not only did he pay with gold stored at the central bank, but also transferred over $100 million from his private account at a Swiss bank to complete the transaction.

  Although it cost a lot of money, Gaoyang didn't mind at all. He had the resources of an entire space-time continuum to squander!

  In 1925, Mobil Oil Company sent over one million barrels of light crude oil to Gaoyang every month!

  The people of Mobil are also very strange. Although there is a 100,000-ton oil storage base and a refinery in Wuhu, the calculated shipment volume cannot be loaded at all! Those who want to explore the secrets of Gaoyang have not returned after sneaking into the port to transport oil to the warehouse area. This matter can only be settled, after all, Gaoyang has never owed them a penny for goods!

  Mobil Corporation has also received the latest requirements from Gaoyang, to establish a super oil storage base with 28 tanks of 27,000 cubic meters each in Lishengtan, Zhenjiang, with a total storage capacity of nearly 700,000 tons!

  This massive project greatly stimulated the Mobil Oil Company, which specially ordered 12 giant oil tankers with a load of over 26,000 tons at Newport News Shipbuilding, the largest shipyard in the United States! The Mobil Oil Company no longer cared where the paid petroleum went.
