Chapter 461 How long will it take to earn this back?!
Therefore, even if Tan Chi uses the name of the royal family, it may not be effective, and may even have the opposite effect.
"I've already come up with a publicity plan, big brother, so don't worry." Tan Chi patted Eli's shoulder, comforting him, "I have two plans, one free and one expensive. Which one would you like to hear first?"
Upon hearing this, Eli raised an eyebrow, his curiosity immediately piqued.
He coughed lightly. "Without spending money? How do you advertise it?"
Tan Chi grinned, revealing two small white teeth.
"That's easy. We'll find some bugs to disguise themselves as space pirates and rob our bank. We'll definitely make the headlines on the StarNet instantly! Then we can give the depositors a big compensation."
Eli: "!!!"
He almost jumped up. "Ah Chi! Are you crazy?! How can you rob yourself? Besides, according to convention, if a bank is robbed by space pirates, the losses are borne by the depositors themselves. If we compensate the depositors, and then we really attract the attention of space pirates, we might be treated as easy prey and robbed repeatedly!"
There's a good chance that space pirates will come here specifically to deposit money and make money from both sides!
He felt that his brother's idea was simply attracting space pirates to fleece him!
Tan Chi's eyes lit up even more after hearing Eli's analysis. "That's great! I'll make sure all the space pirates have their eyes on us."
Then they'll rob the space pirates one by one, and then take 001 to the first space pirate base that robbed them to commit telecom fraud, tsk tsk...
This is absolutely amazing!
"Huh?" Eli was completely dumbfounded.
He completely failed to understand Tan Chi's thought process.
Tan Chi seemed completely unfazed by the situation, continuing his outrageous statement, "I plan to invest in building a top-tier security team, whose equipment and combat capabilities will absolutely crush all space pirates. If any space pirate group dares to rob us, we will not only take back their principal with interest, but also wipe out their headquarters! Every time they rob us, we will rob them back, and see who dares to come again!"
Eli was stunned; he felt his worldview being rubbed into the ground.
"But... even the military has to pay a heavy price to wipe out the space pirate bases. Their equipment and strongholds are very well hidden..."
Tan Chi listened to Eli's stammering words and waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry, the military won't be needed."
He had previously used money to upgrade all the military equipment, making it more than enough to fight off space pirates.
These things haven't even started yet, and his older brother has never been involved in them, so of course he'll hesitate.
Once the military's equipment is upgraded and he becomes a major general, he will understand why space pirates seem so terrifying—it's because the royal family lacks vitality.
As long as we can cover the area with firepower, what's there to be afraid of!
Tan Chi patted his chest, "I'll have 001 assemble several guard and assault-type mechanical insects. Their combat power will absolutely exceed your imagination!"
He recalled the mecha data he had designed when he was in the military, which could be used here.
Eli looked at Tan Chi's small figure, yet he spoke of destroying the space pirates' lair and creating a super mechanical insect, and felt dizzy.
His heart was pounding with anxiety, and he could only try to dissuade him again: "A-Chi, this...this is too risky, I just feel..."
Looking at his elder brother's face, which was full of "unreliability" and "anxiety," Tan Chi knew that it would be difficult to convince him completely in a short time just by talking.
His eyes darted around, and he suddenly changed his strategy.
He imitated Letercart, reaching out his little hands to tug at Eli's clothes, shaking them gently, then raising his little face and gazing longingly at Eli with his big, dark eyes.
"Big brother~ I just want to open a bank~ You don't need to worry about the rest, just leave it to Achi~ Okay, big brother~ You're the best~~"
Eli: "..."
The moment he saw Tan Chi acting coquettishly, all the analysis of risks and feasibility in his mind vanished instantly.
He nodded almost reflexively, "Okay, okay, go ahead! Big brother will help you! You can drive whatever you want!"
Let all those space pirates and robbers be destroyed!
The world is vast, but nothing is bigger than his younger brother!
Seeing this, Tan Chi immediately dropped his coquettish expression, "Now that it's settled, I'll leave the rest to you, brother!"
Eli: "..."
That brat!
...
Inside the study of the Franklin family's main residence.
Shet lowered his head and stood in front of the desk like a quail, not daring to look directly at the sitting male insect.
"Over a billion star coins! Not a few hundred! And all we got in return was a pile of scrap metal and a few rotten weeds?!"
Old Franklin slammed the long auction list he was holding onto the table with a loud bang.
He practically pointed at Shet's nose, spitting almost onto the other man's face.
"Shit! Are you a pig-brain?! You knew that little bastard was setting a trap for you, and you actually jumped right in?!"
He only didn't vent his anger on this brat for one day, and he got into such big trouble!
Over a billion!
Damn it, how long will it take to earn this back?!
That idiot threw them all out!
Shet shrank back as he was scolded, but his face was full of resentment.
He raised his head and argued, "Father! How can you blame me? They're not targeting me at all! It's the royal family deliberately targeting the Franklin family!"
He deliberately elevated the matter to a higher level, so that it wouldn't be his fault as a mere insect.
Rather, it was because he worked hard to avoid bringing shame to his family.
Old Franklin squinted at Shet, but didn't speak, seemingly waiting for him to continue.
Seeing this, Shitte immediately felt much more confident.
He immediately added fuel to the fire, saying, "Father, didn't you see Tan Chi's arrogant face! He just wanted to slap our family in the face! He provoked me in front of so many nobles! If I backed down, how could our Franklin family ever hold our heads high in the empire again?"
Their family has always been at odds with the royal family, and this harmony was almost impossible to maintain even on the surface!
He wanted to show his father how the royal family mocked their family so that his father would focus his attention on the royal family!
A sinister glint flashed in old Franklin's cloudy but shrewd eyes. "Fool! Even if the royal family is targeting our family, your head-on approach is the worst possible strategy! You've wasted so much money!"
He tapped the table impatiently. "But... you're right, the royal family has indeed been increasingly disregarding us old nobles lately. We need to teach them a lesson!"
Upon hearing this, Shet immediately perked up, took a few steps closer, and asked eagerly, "Father, what do you plan to do?"
