Looking at Yan Xiaosu’s face, the others were secretly anxious, afraid that Yan Xiaosu would not be able to speak a single sentence.
In fact… Yan Xiaosu’s tiny heart had already started pounding. In the past, he did not believe that there were such people with more money than sense, but he had fully understood this statement today.
However, he calmed down in a blink of an eye. After considering the situation, there was no one in this world that would fit that description, and it was obvious what the target of the other party was.
A two billion investment, which he did not have to pay a single cent, yet would still be getting a fifty one percent stake in the shares. This first fundraising round was equivalent to gifting him a billion dollars directly. This was an attempt to buy him off with money… no, it was to buy a connection with Wang Zheng and Tita Star. Considering the current situation, the true value of his connections was far above the price of their investment. After a few days of interaction, he was confident that no one in front of him was clueless.
“Regarding this matter, I have to consider it.”
“Brother Yan, why are you still hesitating? You definitely need help in dealing with such a major contract. We’re after all old friends, unlike those that are following behind.”
“Right, it is best to do business with like-minded people. Making money is secondary to us, what’s important is to be happy!”
Everyone started speaking up at the same time, with varying persuasiveness. To be perfectly honest, Tyrant Su was actually enjoying these few days, as these b*stards were pulling all sorts of stunts to gain his approval.
Noticing that the time to strike was right now, Yan Xiaosu no longer held back. “Alright, I can handle this issue. However, there is a slight problem with the shares. The fifty one percent that I hold does not solely belong to me, as I am also representing another party. Additionally, you need to give up another five percent, for another company.”
“OMG?” Jasper asked.
“Oh, how did you know?” Yan Xiaosu was indeed a little surprised.
“Haha. Brother Yan, we’ve long wanted to meet with the talented designer. Some of our brothers here are mecha enthusiasts, and the most talented person to have emerged in these few years is Miss Ye Zisu.”
Jasper and the rest had anticipated such a problem, and was aware that nothing would be that easy. However, the other party’s conditions were still within the limit of acceptability. Of course, the actual terms and minor details would be discussed by the lawyers of both parties.
It was obvious that such issues were handled by professionals, and everyone had brought their own team along. When Little Lucky Star’s team received the basic terms of the negotiations, they had almost fainted. The first feeling they had was whether they had been scammed… this was definitely the dealings of those who had too much money to spend. However, all of them were famous consortiums within the Milky Way, this should not be a con right?
But what was this situation? They forked out both the money and manpower, while they themselves did not have to lift a single finger…
Currently, he had already been admired by the personnel in Little Lucky Star’s company, but after arriving at Tita Star, the level of worship had reached another level. For most family businesses, the respect towards the founder would be the highest, while the successors would be treated half-heartedly. There were not many from the younger generation that could surpass the first. Without a doubt, Yan Xiaosu was a miracle amongst miracles, with Old Yan even becoming a logistics support personnel, yet he probably was the happiest logistics support in the whole world.
While business was being discussed at one corner, everybody else was relaxing over here, continuing to drink and flirt around. Yan Xiaosu naturally continued to act as a gentlemen, sitting on the sofa and drinking a glass fruit wine… who would have thought that after being unable to find a beauty at the very first meeting, he claimed to not be the type that fooled around. He had even graciously rejected the few ‘gifts’ that were sent to him, this brother was simply a saint…
At the same time, at the governor’s mansion…
Mu Sen was dealing with daily affairs. Such tasks were second nature to him, and he was rapidly getting accustomed to it. Humanity’s culture was quickly accepted by these strategists. Of course, it was not a total acceptance, as on Tita Star, everything still revolved around the preservation of their own customs.
The hardest issue to tackle was still the pressure on the super-gravity mine. Although the current situation was at an equilibrium, the pressure from each individual country was not small at all.
“The deeper tribes are still skeptical, and many of them are refusing to listen to the orders of Lord Titan, especially Lucerne…”
The strategist from the Hurricane sector was asking for help from Mu Sen. In fact, the Tita people were not completely united. More accurately, within Tita star, there were still a number of tribes that had not joined the tribal alliance under Tita’s Titan. They even had opposing views, believing that the cooperation between the tribes and the humans was an embarrassment, and were questioning the actions of the Titan.
Mu Sen lightly smiled. Such a thing as war was impossible as each and every inhabitant of Tita was precious. Even if there was a difference in opinion, there was only one solution, which was to let Rara Durai deal with it! This was not the first time, and Rara Durai was recently busy with similar matters.
“Understood, Titan will soon go over to meet Lucerne.”
“Yes…”
Lian Qing nodded, this was his main purpose in coming here. Additionally, he still had another matter to discuss.
“Elder Mu Sen, Little Lucky Star Company has recently arrived at our Hurricane sector to investigate, are they trespassing too far?”
There was never a case that humans were allowed to enter this deep into the forbidden area.
Lian Qing was unhappy with this decision. As a strategist, he was clear about the strength and insidiousness of humans. Cooperation was necessary, but most of the Tita people should still remain wary of them.
Mu Sen gazed at Lian Qing, “What do you think?”
“I believe that a single Lan family is sufficient As for the gratitude to Wang Zheng, we have already repaid him more than enough. Ada will forever be Ada, but humans are still humans.” Lian Qing simply expressed his feelings. This was not limited to only him, but also the opinion of most of the strategists. Mu Sen was the representative of the Tita people, but the authority of the elders was also increasing. They represented the interests of the Tita people. The strategists were not puppets, and all of them had their own beliefs. If not for the influence of Titan, many of Mu Sen’s ideas might not have been realized.
Mu Sen sighed within his heart, his gaze resigned to his fate. No matter humanity or Tita, everyone was the same.
“The Lan family is only the start. We should plan further ahead. At the very least, there are still other options.” Mu Sen calmly stated. The Lan family issue was only a small annoyance to the Tita people. If not for the presence of Lan Ling, the situation might have been drastically different.
“You’re saying that we should choose Little Lucky Star to be the first…” Would that be too overboard, they still do not have the qualifications.”
Mu Sen stood up, “You guys look down too much on humans. There is a saying amongst humans, even if there are no long term issues, there would still be short term ones. We from the Tita star should follow where the wind blows, especially right at the start, where the danger is at the highest.”
After giving the shares from the super gravity mine to Wang Zheng, Mu Sen was not hot-headed enough to only be concerned about repaying their gratitude.
Lian Qing was not too surprised, he had never met someone from Tita in the past, “This I understand, but that person is far too common…”
Mu Sen laughed. Recently, too many major figures had appeared, and many of the Tita people had been confused by them. “When would you all stop being mesmerized by their outer appearances? Remember, we are Tita people, only our own beliefs will protect us!”
Lian Qing finally understood the hidden meaning of Mu Sen’s words. What was strength? No matter on the inside or outside, only those that could grasp the opportunity that fate had given them would be the strongest. Or else, so what if they were like the Lan family?
Lian Qing respectfully bowed his head. Although Elder Mu Sen was not the highest authority within the association, he was undoubtedly the wisest in their current era.
While Yan Xiaosu’s plan had finally succeeded, Wang Zheng’s match had also started. The third round had started simultaneously in all five sectors. The Huang Grade Olivios was the first one to go up. Against a Xuan Grade Class 1 opponent, Olivios did not feel any pressure at all. It was obvious that his ability X had already reached the high grade C rank. That is to say, although he was a Huang Grade. His ability X was sufficient for him to reach the Xuan Grade. In addition, his rich combat experience had far outstripped the average student, and this was the first time that the entire academy had met such a monster from Arbiter.
If one was to say that Olivios was an outlier, then when Achilles from the Moon defeated his opponent and advanced, everyone else was stunned.
Against an opponent from the Dark Empire, Achilles took the initiative. Although a C rank ability X was rather decent, but it still cannot be compared to those from a Xuan Class 1student. However, with his tyrannical combat techniques and experience, he had directly defeated his opponent in a domineering fashion, using a single silver spear to shock the world.
Although Achilles’ ability X had not reached the level of a Xuan grader, his basic physical abilities was much higher. With his expertise in control and ever-changing movements, he was able to make up for the shortcomings of his X ability. Everyone was aware that although the strength of his output could be increased, technique and tactics were much harder to change. Without mentioning any other advantages, Achilles had already entered into the list for intensive training, just solely based on his performance. This was a genius that no one had ever seen before.
