“This is the pasture you bought?” Standing on the fence, Gan Jing looked at everything all around curiously. The nearly 200 acres of land is really big, green pasture. Drifting in the breeze, you can’t even see the end at a glance.
“en!” Ling Xiao hugged Gan Jing from behind, and said softly: “In this way, in addition to the Matador Beach villa, we can also have one more place for vacation, and here I also Some herbs can be grown in large quantities. Unlike the extremely expensive land in Los Angeles, we have to import many things from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it also consumes a lot of money.”
Ling Xiao intends to open up a medicine garden near the small stream near the main house to grow some common medicine ingredients, which can be regarded as a deception.
In the entire ranch, there are two main houses for the owner of the ranch, a main house on the west side near the road, four bedrooms, two living rooms, mainly used to entertain guests, and close to To the east, a two-story building closer to the creek was used by Ling Xiao as an own lounge.
A row of huts and six rooms at the entrance of the farm are the place where the cowboys stay on duty. In addition, there are also cattle sheds, forage rooms, tool houses, and tall water storage towers, which are basically inside the ranch. All of the buildings.
This is the price that can be sold in extremely expensive land such as Central Valley. If this is changed to other states, the price will be at least twice as cheap. Of course, Ling Xiao bought this ranch Naturally, there are ways to increase his value. At least, drought has never been a problem for him.
Buying this ranch, Ling Xiao used the funds on the surface that SHIELD bought Lunar Ninth Water in exchange for the funds. Anyway, taxes are still required, so it’s better to let him invest directly .
The setting sun, the breeze is particularly cool, sitting in the living room, drinking red wine, looking at the beauty, if there are no external troubles, everything would be better. But Ling Xiao knew that he couldn’t hide from some things after all, so this was the reason why he secretly bought the private park opposite.
On the opposite of the private park, Ling Xiao walked through the accounts of a company in Cayman Islands. The person who bought the private park was a woman named Katie Holmes. If you check her carefully According to her identity, she will find that she was an American soldier and retired due to injuries.
Yes, Katie Holmes is one of the members of Extremis-Soldier, but when Killian is still alive, she has not yet become an Extremis-Soldier. Kitty became Extremis-Soldier after Maya Hansen mastered Complete Extremis.
In the Battle of Miami, Ling Xiao quietly rescued Maya Hansen and gave her the complete equation of Extremis that oneself had obtained. In addition, on Air Force One, Ling Xiao Savin also won.
Of course, Maya Hansen and Savin were all made by Ling Xiao into Dao Soldier under his control, but it is different from the Shadow Mist Thousand Illusions Dao Soldier of Ouyama Yuriko and the others before, all Extremis- Soldiers are all trained into Heavenly Wind Flame Dao Soldier.
With Savin hosting, in the Battle of Miami Port, Ling Xiao quietly gathered a large amount of Extremis-Soldier, and emptied a large number of experimental personnel, experimental equipment, and even the experimental equipment that originally belonged to Killian. A large amount of funds were quietly misappropriated by Ling Xiao.
After that, although SHIELD is still pursuing these Extremis-Soldier clues, Ling Xiao take action and Mina Tander cover up. They don’t have to worry about being discovered by others in Los Angeles.
However, staying in Los Angeles for a long time is not a good thing for them. Keeping hidden will always hurt morale, so after Ling Xiao chose the location of the cultivation, he asked Maya Hansen to send someone. Bought Anderson Private Park, 5000 acres of land is enough for them to hide.
In order not to attract the attention of others, after the change of ownership, Ling Xiao not only did not change the name of the park, he did not even dismiss one of the employees of the park, but transferred their work to the foot of the mountain. In the pastures, no contact with Extremis-Soldier.
In the private park, Extremis-Soldiers acted personally. Rows of houses were built at the foot of the mountain, but these all are their resting place. The real laboratory is built on the mountain. Among them, with the ability of Extremeis-Soldier, a super large cave was built without the knowledge of outsiders simply without using large-scale equipment.
Tony Stark has perfected the Extremis formula, but for the exploration of Extremis, this is just the beginning. The creation power is more powerful, the nature is more stable, and the more easily manipulated Extremis is The pursuit of these researchers, and it is Maya Hansen who is in charge of all this.
Most of the scientific researchers who are willing to serve Killian are otaku-like guys. For the sake of scientific research, these people are willing to give up most of their material enjoyment and stay in a strong base transformed from port containers. Here, they completed the preliminary development of Extremis.
The environment of Ling Xiao’s ranch is even better, and he doesn’t treat them badly in terms of eating, drinking and enjoying. The only limitation is that you cannot easily contact the outside world, let alone leak research.
The researchers who have experienced the Battle of Miami Port, of course, know the seriousness of the matter. They know the abilities of Extremeis-Soldier created by them, no matter where they hide. , As long as the news is leaked, Extremis-Soldier can kill them anywhere.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, although Ling Xiao did not make these researchers into loyal Dao Soldiers, they did some tricks in their minds to ensure that things would not leak out the slightest. .
Compared to Killian, in Ling Xiao’s hands, these researchers have never lacked any research funds.
Killian’s path was simply wrong. He was still thinking of the older generation of researchers, and he developed the results, and then sold to the government or a big capitalist. In the end, although he became extreme, he used “Mandarin “For the famous terrorism, and the Deputy President jointly tried to rebel, in fact, it was still this way.
Ling Xiao is completely different. His eyes are on Middle East and North Africa. Extremis Soldier, which is mercenary or arms trading company, is most suitable for that environment, and when they become famous Only those heads of state in the Middle East or North Africa will be really interested in Extremis.
Compared to the US Government, or the major capitalists who cannibalize people in mainland, the heads of state in the Middle East or North Africa are the ones who are really willing to pay big prices. Diamonds, gold , Oil, these things are able to withstand the existence of hard currency when they are taken internationally.
Of course, in order to launder these funds, Ling Xiao opened short companies one after another in tax havens such as Cayman Islands, Bermuda Islands, etc. After the golden scriptures were transferred once and again, they could no longer be checked. Whenever there is any trace, especially every month, one or two companies with too much capital will go bankrupt and the data will be cleared. This time it is even more difficult to find out.
These funds were finally transferred to the accounts of a company called Hoffman Forest Fire Protection Company. That’s right, Ling Xiao’s cover for the experimental base is this company to prevent forest fires and fire-fighting company working as firefighters.
Every year, the US Government suffers losses of tens of billions of USD due to forest fires. In California alone, the annual investment in forest fire prevention and fire fighting has reached several billion USD. Fire protection companies will account for a large proportion.
Compared with the government’s work in disaster relief and fire fighting, private fire protection companies have to be much more flexible, especially in terms of casualties. The government needs to consider more, while private fire protection wages are different. If you have enough money, no matter how big things are, you can solve them.
And, in this world, are also people more suitable for firefighters than Extremes-Soldier?
