Hearing Dragon ask this, Koala slowly relaxed, but when it came to the task Dragon had given her, her face was filled with worry. "It's too difficult, Mr. Dragon. Your request for each of us to have a mobile phone is simply impossible to fulfill. Mobile phones are too difficult to buy. I spent a high price and had to coax and persuade someone for half a day just to get one."
"Moreover, I haven't seen any News Coos in the past half month. Forget about phones, I can't even buy newspapers."
"If this continues, our intelligence department will be temporarily paralyzed. We can only rely on some encrypted Den Den Mushi to transmit messages, but they are too slow compared to mobile phones."
Having experienced the convenience of mobile phones, going back to the old Den Den Mushi era would be more unbearable than killing them. This is the power of technology.
"What? Has it reached this point?"
Dragon was very surprised. When mobile phones first came out, no one bought them, but in just one day, just one day, they became incredibly popular, and the popularity was off the charts!
"Then what's the current equipment situation?"
Koala said somewhat dejectedly, "Currently, only captain-level personnel and those in charge of various regions have mobile phones. Other personnel are not equipped, and even our intelligence department only has three."
"..."
The situation is indeed somewhat serious. The importance of mobile phones goes without saying; in terms of information transmission and communication, they are absolutely second to none!
"I will find a way to solve the problem of purchasing mobile phones."
"Okay, alright."
Seeing Dragon's face full of worry, Koala also tried to force a smile to comfort him.
"But I created a group chat. Although the messages will be somewhat limited and perhaps slower, it's countless times faster than before. From now on, exchanging information will be much more reassuring, and we don't have to worry about Den Den Mushi being tapped."
Koala's beautiful eyes were full of smiles, especially when she discovered that TikTok not only provided entertainment but also had powerful information exchange capabilities, which made her, an information gatherer, ecstatic for several days.
Hearing this, Dragon nodded slightly, a meaningful smile playing on the corner of his mouth. "Tapping? Although it won't be tapped by the World Government, it might be tapped by the TikTok producer."
"You... You mean..." Koala's face instantly turned pale, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking." Dragon narrowed his eyes. Sabo, who was nearby, also realized the seriousness of the situation and took over the conversation. "Since the TikTok producer can create such extraordinary mobile phones, they can definitely see our communication records. If the other party is friendly, it's fine, but if they are an enemy... it could be troublesome."
Koala's pretty face was pale, realizing the seriousness of the situation. "Then... what should we do?"
"Don't worry, I have a way." Dragon looked at Koala. "Are you sure that only the World Economy News Paper is selling mobile phones in the entire sea?"
Koala nodded, very certain. "Yes, Mr. Dragon."
"Then it's easy to handle." Dragon's tone became much more relaxed. "I have some acquaintance with Morgans. Wouldn't it be simple to ask him? That guy definitely knows something."
"That's right!" Koala and Sabo exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise, then their gazes simultaneously turned to Dragon.
Dragon also took out a special Den Den Mushi, clearly different from the usual ones. He selected a number and dialed it directly.
Buru buru buru~~~~
Buru buru buru~~~~
"Hello! What a rare guest, Dragon. I didn't expect you, a busy man, to call me. Is there some big news? Hurry up and tell me! I'm already getting excited!" Morgans' excited and arrogant roar came from the other end of the phone, clearly in good spirits.
"Morgans, what big news do I have? The creator of the recent big news has always been you. I can't believe you could produce such a groundbreaking technological product as a mobile phone, truly impressive!" Dragon's tone was unhurried, with a hint of teasing.
Being praised by Dragon like this, Morgans was clearly a bit smug.
But having reached the level of an Emperor in the underworld, he understood what Dragon wanted to ask with just one sentence.
"Dragon, don't guess wildly, and don't try to pry information out of me. I won't tell you who he is." Morgans' tone was firm, clearly unwilling to reveal too much.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, before Dragon's low voice came through. "I just want to ask, is he an enemy or a friend? The communication capability of mobile phones is very powerful. If we use them, will information be leaked to the World Government?"
"Kwahahaha, what, even you have started using mobile phones?" Morgans was a bit surprised. Although this mobile phone thing is small, it's really a good item, otherwise, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, wouldn't be so cautious.
He thought for a moment. Their relationship was quite good, and there were many people in the Revolutionary Army, which represented a huge sales channel. Selling mobile phones through them made him feel very secure. Finally, he sorted out his thoughts and slowly began to speak.
"First of all, as a friend, I warn you not to inquire about the TikTok producer. You just need to know that mobile phones have nothing to do with any power, nor will they participate in any power; they are purely for entertainment. I'm just working for him."
Morgans' show of weakness inadvertently made Ron seem impressive, even bluffing Dragon on the other end of the phone into a daze.
Even Morgans, one of the Six Emperors of the Underworld, is working for him?
Who exactly is the person who created mobile phones, and how can they be so powerful!
Dragon was instantly stunned, secretly alarmed, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead at some point.
However, he had gotten the answer he wanted; as long as the other party wouldn't interfere with any power, the rest didn't matter.
Just as he was about to hang up, Morgans' calm voice came through again.
"Dragon, there's a collaboration. Do you want to hear about it?"
"Collaboration?" Dragon frowned. What was Morgans up to? But he still asked cautiously, "What kind of collaboration?"
"Kwahahaha, Dragon, don't be nervous, it's just a regular collaboration. With our relationship, could I possibly trick you?" Morgans laughed heartily, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"Hmph!" Dragon snorted coldly, clearly not buying it.
Morgans continued, "Mobile phones are incredibly popular. Now, walking on the street, anyone without a mobile phone feels inferior."
"Isn't that just your marketing strategy? You sell so few mobile phones every day, it's not even enough to fill a tooth gap," Dragon retorted coldly.
Hearing Dragon's ridicule, Morgans immediately cursed, "Bullshit! Two hundred of my News Coo brothers are already exhausted! And the daily demand is still increasing day by day, the numbers scare even me!"
Hearing this, Dragon was first taken aback. What was going on? Was it not this guy's doing?
"It's really not your doing?" Dragon's tone held a hint of doubt.
"Of course not, and this is related to the collaboration I'm about to discuss with you." Morgans' voice carried a hint of mystery.
Dragon's heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling a sense of good fortune coming his way, wondering if his guess was correct.
Indeed, Morgans' next sentence made his heart pound, and even Koala and Sabo beside him gasped and covered their mouths.
"Dragon, are you interested in selling mobile phones?"
