Chapter 351 Losing and winning

Extreme Ocean Rally.

For those who know the inside story, just seeing these few words is enough to cause pain.

It’s just like those anchors who want to gain traffic and choose to go to the plateau by hiking or riding bicycles or other messy means. Wind and sun are just trivial matters. From the moment you make the choice and take the first step, the constant torment comes along with your breathing.

In this world, a hundred miles away from the central city is the wilderness.

It is a no-man’s land that is too cruel even for animals.

Human beings depend on civilization to survive. Once they are separated from civilization, even if they are just passing through, they will suffer the ruthless ravages of nature and disasters.

If you just look down from the airship, those fleeting glimpses are nothing but sparse and ordinary boring scenery. But if you are really in it, let alone walking, even if you measure it with wheels, the problems you face are endless.

Food, water, supplies, maintenance, medicine, heating… and even trials and challenges from around the world!

This route, which runs across the entire federation, does not even have a fixed route. Due to frequent disasters in the wild, it actually changes every year, and there have been many cases where no one has finished the race.

Extremely cold and hot areas, ice sheets and deserts, salt lakes, acid rain, earthquake zones, mud and swamps…

Along the entire route, except for a few large cities and a handful of gathering places, the entire environment is an extreme one ravaged by disasters, and within a thousand miles there is an uninhabited wilderness.

Not to mention the harsh competition system and almost non-existent rules.

There is no route survey, no timing and time control, and even no complicated rules and detailed treaties and regulations, only the most basic stage timing. After the race starts, all you have to do is get from one end to the other by any means, even if you have to crank the tires by hand.

The winner takes all, and the loser eats dust!
It tests the manufacturer’s design, craftsmanship, maintenance, the driver’s quality, endurance, the quality and workmanship of the vehicle… and even the all-important luck.

Its difficulty no longer lies in simple racing, but in challenging the limits and the impossible.

It is precisely because of this that it is loved and paid attention to by so many fans, and even worshipped as a god, looking forward to the arrival of new gods one after another.

When compared with the malice of the entire world, not only ordinary people, but even the chosen ones will seem so insignificant.

Because of the difficulties, some people choose to challenge.

Among the twelve supreme virtues, transformation is the first and desolation is the last. One is spiritual and the other is material. This is just like the struggle between spirit and matter, the entanglement between transformation and desolation. The desire for transformation that exists in the deepest part of all living beings collides with the huge and cruel material world, which is enough to stir up dazzling sparks and light.

Endless, chasing the limit!
In the Wild Sea Rally, there are eight divisions based on different cylinder displacements, and sixteen original and modified factions, which can be said to cover all models used for wilderness operations.

Over the years, different streams and levels have naturally formed. Among them, the top-level, the most popular and sought-after modification group above 2000CC has always been the private domain of military-industrial enterprises!

No matter how you brag about yourself or how you buy traffic, reality is always reality. Those who can pass are masters, and those who cannot pass are just the cries of a fart no matter how you explain.

The victory or defeat of a PVP game has so many supporters, people who come for fun, or even scoundrels, let alone a real competition?
If before this, the Coast Automobile Factory was just on the edge, now the moment it chooses to participate means that it is drawing the sword against all its peers in the military industry track.

Whether you are strong or weak, tall or short, let’s see the truth through your results!

So, I challenged you without knowing my own limitations…

At this moment, the conference rooms of Huisheng Technology or Tiancheng Industry fell into silence.

There was no one sitting high up in the main seat anymore.

In the middle of the meeting, news was received from Central City.

The final result of the conversation was conveyed by a secretary or staff member of the Federal Security Department.

beat!
There has to be a loser.

Shang Tongwen remained silent, listening to the voice on the other end. After a long while, he slowly said, “I understand.”

But when he spoke his voice was so hoarse and low that even he himself did not expect it.

It was like being burned by anger.

After hanging up the phone, he slowly turned around and said to his secretary, “Tell those Gao guys that if they still want to stay out of this matter, they won’t get any meat, not to mention any soup bowls. When the time comes, they’ll just have to kneel on the ground and beg for bones!”

The secretary nodded and hurried away.

Only Shang Tongwen slowly returned to the meeting room. The others had already left and no one dared to stay and get in the way. In the dead silence, he stared at the last message on the screen, looking at the shockingly young face with an expressionless face.

The secretary suddenly knocked on the door and entered: “Mr. Shang, the call is from the Governor’s Office…”

“I’ll reply later and tell the Governor that everything is OK.”

“Mr. Shang, it’s a call from home.” Another person pushed the door open and walked in hurriedly: “It’s urgent, Second Master hopes you can reply as soon as possible.”

“Mr. Shang, Huanyu has called an emergency meeting…”

“Mr. Shang, the Zhongzhou Military Headquarters…”

“Mr. Shang…”

“roll!!!”

In the dead silence, Shang Tongwen could no longer restrain himself and turned around and roared.

Those eyes were bloodshot, like a beast, choosing its prey. “When they were all eating their fill, they kept silent, but now that they are running out of food, they are urging others to fight for their lives?” Shang Tongwen shouted angrily, “What the hell were you doing before? When I told them not to sit back and watch Lu Yingyue become powerful, what were they doing? Eating shit?!”

No one responded.

No one dared to speak anymore. Only the low-key and boring ringing of the phone continued, over and over again.

But now Shang Tongwen has finally calmed down.

He was silent, not saying a word, just smoking quietly.

He stared indifferently at the scarlet flame as it burned out and was crushed into nothingness in the exquisite ashtray.

The patriarch of the Shang family, the governor of East City, the world insiders, the members of the Progressive Party, the important members of the military…

Overnight, everyone began to urge themselves to risk their lives for the sake of everyone’s wealth.

There was no room to even take a step back.

There is no way to retreat.

If you show even a hint of weakness at this critical juncture, you will be abandoned without anyone else adding insult to injury, and even your former alliance will fall apart. Those seemingly kind-hearted competitors may, no, will definitely, change their faces and pounce on you, happily sharing your flesh and blood.

Just like the feast they once had when they divided the coast.

There is no morality or righteousness among tigers and wolves. Apart from climbing up, any compromise and cowardice will lead to death.

“Contact Tiancheng, Beiding and Xinyuan for me.”

The last flames died out in the jar. Shang Tongwen slowly raised his head, retracted his violent and fierce eyes, and smiled once again, but this time there was no warmth in his smile.

“If she wants to fight, then fight.”

“Fight until you win, fight until you die, fight until everyone dies.”

“Let everyone see…”

“Who is the loser in the end?”

“Won!!!”

Amid the cheers and shouts, applause broke out one after another.

At the dinner party after the press conference, the cafeteria was packed. In addition to the second floor where visiting guests were entertained, the dinner party for employees on the first floor was even more lively and noisy.

Maybe it was because of the red envelopes that Assistant Ye distributed to each table, or maybe it was because of the achievements Coast has made, or maybe it was because of the rapidly rising reputation on the Internet, or maybe it was because of the expectations for the future…

After several months of torment and trials, the newly released college students have lost their childishness. The pure glow in their eyes has been replaced by a strong sense of class. They can even drink liquor from the bottle and celebrate and cheer wantonly.

All regular employees received a salary increase, and the college graduates who have persisted until now also received internship certificates and unexpected employment contracts. After signing, they will go back and wait for graduation, and then they will become regular employees. In addition to basic salary and performance, benefits are distributed according to job level. Although it is not exaggerated to nine insurances and three funds, five insurances and one fund are set in stone, and even the previous internship time is included in the length of service.

For many students who took out loans to go to school, not only did they get crucial credits and internship badges, they also received extra wages and allowances. They didn’t even have to look for a job after graduation. What reason was there not to celebrate?
For a while, they couldn’t help but let loose and get drunk. Some cried on the table, some hugged their coworkers, and some took advantage of their drunkenness to confess their love to their colleagues… Although a small number of people might be confused about gender, it didn’t stop everyone from celebrating.

Yan Jian was the first one to be drunk. He collapsed in his wheelchair and performed a fountain move, but was soon dragged away.

Ji Jue, whose treatment was even more exaggerated than his, miraculously drank a thousand cups without falling. He stood proudly, looked up to the sky and laughed. No matter how many people lined up to toast him, his face did not even turn red.

Just kidding. I didn’t dare to do anything tricky when drinking with Sister Wen or I would be caught. But when drinking with a bunch of college guys like you, why don’t you see Fei Gong’s bare-handed skills?

If I drink even a drop of alcohol, I lose!
People get drunk even if the wine doesn’t make them drunk. In such a joyous atmosphere, Ji Jue couldn’t help but lose his composure. He even performed a show for everyone by blowing from the bottle, finishing a whole bottle of white wine in three seconds.

“Congratulations, Director Ji.” Ye Chun, who was standing next to him, sipped his drink and followed the crowd to toast with a glass of Coke.

“No, no, it’s all thanks to the support from senior sister!”

Ji Jue slapped his thigh, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt hungry and thirsty: he hadn’t talked about his great achievements in revitalizing the coast for three minutes!
It’s a beautiful time, and I need someone to share my joy with me…

Unfortunately, Ye Chun had become immune to the dog’s barking and slipped away before he even opened his mouth, leaving Ji Jue standing there alone, sighing to the sky.

There was an endless stream of messages and calls on my phone from all sides.

Not only Tong Shan and Wen Wen, but also Chen Xingzhou and Chen Yubo, and even supporters from all sides over the past few days.

To some extent, Ji Jue had already accomplished his mission the moment the press conference began.

This banquet was not only to celebrate the resurgence of Coast, but also a celebration of his success.

Today, with the resumption of work, production and revitalization of the coast, his duties have been fulfilled and the work entrusted to him has come to an end. He can now retire as a craftsman away from disputes, restore his original detached status, and no longer need to get involved in this muddy water.

Just wait for the dust to settle and then divide the gold.

“So, there is no need to take such risks.”

Tong Shengnian on the other end of the phone said, “I suggest you reconsider the matter of the Desolate Sea Rally.”
