After listening to Chris's narration, Xia Ye had a more complete understanding of the whole thing.
First of all, Curran is indeed a sharp and decisive person.
Under Curran's hard-and-soft negotiations, "Ether Whaling" actually gave up its so-called "ultimatum," which should have been a bottom line. If someone crosses a line and is not punished, they will try to offend further.
That's what Curran did.
The concession of "Aether Whaling" shows that they are not as scary as they seem, and they will have some scruples, and this further proves that their so-called "backer" is not so reliable.
So Curran chose to offend to the end - she directly assassinated the opponent's leader.
There was certainly some gambling involved, but she was right.
"Ether Whaling" is just a company in which Venture Capital Group 7 has a stake. Apart from the word "ether" in its name, it has almost nothing to do with "ether exploration".
When Venture Capital Seven confirmed the incompetence of "Aether Whaling", they immediately abandoned it and instead tried to cooperate with Curran.
Although Curran rejected them at the time, it was obvious that Venture Capital Department 7 was a very patient group of people. After waiting for a period of time, they finally succeeded in acquiring a large part of the shares of Curran's company.
And this is also the second key point: Venture Capital Seven cannot be ignored.
In the subsequent negotiations, Xia Ye was confident of persuading Curran to cooperate with Chris again, and at the same time, he also allowed himself to acquire a sufficient share of the shares at a reasonable price.
However, Curran's agreement did not mean that the shareholders of "Yuan Ship Leasing" agreed. The masked witch never expressed her attitude towards this matter from beginning to end. In fact, Xia Ye felt that the other party had no intention of communicating with her at all.
Perhaps VC Seven believes that it is not time to express its position, or perhaps the other party wants to express its opposition in this way, but no matter what, we need to be wary of VC Seven's attitude next.
Finally, according to Chris's account, Curran may have attached more importance to "vessel leasing" than she imagined, and this may lead to differences between her and Venture Capital Seven.
This is Xia Ye's judgment based on past experience - if a company's founders have conflicts with external shareholders, often the root of the problem is that the founders have more than rational feelings about their company, while external shareholders Shareholders cannot have it.
"Yes, I understand." After Xia Ye sorted out her thoughts in her mind, she quickly thought of the next plan.
"Lord Xia Ye, then... what are you going to do next?"
"I think there is still a possibility of cooperation between you and Curran, and it is most beneficial to me for you two to cooperate." She said frankly.
Although she had expected it, Chris was still a little disappointed when Xia Ye actually said it.
"This...is different from what we agreed before..." She lowered her gaze.
"Because the harvest of this whaling is different from what we imagined before." Xia Ye said.
"But what does this have to do with harvest?" Chris didn't quite understand. "Besides the white whale, did you get anything else?"
"It's not a thing, it's information." Xia Ye continued to face the Riddler.
"information?"
"I can't tell you yet. We will invite Curran to meet together tomorrow, and I will tell you then."
"Hey, tomorrow?" Chris didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Yes, and it's not just you, Luca and Lilian, will you come too?"
"Should I go too?" Luka pointed at herself doubtfully.
"Yes, because I'm afraid that if the deal breaks down, I won't be able to defeat Curran." Xia Ye put on a weak, pitiful and helpless expression, and asked Luka to be a bodyguard for free.
"Oh, I know." Luka agreed.
"What about me...Sister Xia Ye?"
"You go be a chef. Besides, haven't you always wanted to see the Aether Sea? I'll go there tomorrow, even though it's just offshore." Xia Ye said.
"Chef? Looking at the sea?" Lilian's face was filled with questions.
"Well, the 'Moby Dick' will arrive near Debso Tower tomorrow. Before it docks, I'm going to ask Curran to go on the ship and let's chat while we eat..."
Xia Ye explained tomorrow's arrangements to the three of them in detail.
…
"Are you there?"
At night, Xia Ye lay on the bed, took out the crystal ball, and sent a message to Curran.
After a while, the other party replied:
"Ready to meet?"
"Yes, but this time, the time and place are up to me."
"where?"
"Tomorrow at 6 p.m., Moby Dick, I've prepared dinner and we'll chat while we eat."
The other party sent a confused expression.
"The Moby-Dick will dock tomorrow?"
"No, it will still be at sea tomorrow, but it is not far from Debso Tower. You can get there by riding a broom. I will send you the location in advance."
The other party didn't reply to the message, and seemed to be thinking about it.
It wasn't until several minutes passed that Curran replied: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow. Also, can you bring the cup?"
"Okay." Kelun knew which cup Xia Ye was asking about.
"Also, will the masked witch come tomorrow?"
"What? Do you want her to come? Or don't you want her to come?"
Xia Ye chose an expression similar to "Don't come over" and sent it.
After a while, Curran replied: "Don't worry, she won't come tomorrow."
…
Putting down the crystal ball, Xia Ye half lay on the bedside, looking through the window at Debsota at night.
What she was doing now gave her a familiar feeling.
Bringing several forces together, trying to get them to cooperate rather than fight, and earn a small profit from it - in the world before the time travel, she relied on this method to obtain the first bucket of life. gold.
Unexpectedly, after time traveling, I would still be doing similar things. It's just that this world is a little more beautiful and a little more violent than the past world.
All in all, it’s a lot more fun.
Very satisfied with myself.
Go to sleep, tomorrow will be a busy day~
She took off her head, placed it on the pillow, got into bed, rested her neck on the soft pillow, and soon fell asleep.
Zzzzzzzzz…
At 8 o'clock in the morning, she was woken up by the alarm clock. After stretching a lot, she looked at the floor-length mirror and put her head back on her neck.
"This witch is still so beautiful today~"
Xia Ye admired the stunning beauty in the mirror for a while before starting to put on the clothes she would wear to go out today.
Just after breakfast, a message from Yaha was received in the crystal ball.
That's a positioning.
Being able to receive information means that Yaha has returned to the barrier of Debso Tower. Xia Ye clicked on the location and saw that, sure enough, the "Mobydick" was only 18 kilometers away from the port.
This was the distance she had agreed with Yaha before she left.
"Wait for me, I'll be back in a minute." Xia Ye replied. Then, she said hello to Lilian and others, and hurried out the door.
Riding the BRM430 and racing to the port, Xia Ye put away the broom in the air, crushed the feathers of thunder, turned into lightning and flew in the direction of the location.
Although the broom can fly normally within the barrier, the speed is much slower than Thunder Feather.
This is why she asked Yaha to stop 18 kilometers away, because this is the farthest flying distance of a feather of thunder. Any further away, and it would have to rely on cat flying wings to rotate, which is not convenient.
In the blink of an eye, the "Moby Dick" towing the beluga appeared in the field of vision. Xia Ye flew above the ship and fired 99 laser beams along the edge of the whale. Then, she grabbed the ball that inflated into a balloon. Xiuji's legs slowly landed on the deck.
"How is it? When will we enter the port?" Yaha was waiting for her on the deck.
"Don't worry, I've invited guests here for dinner tonight." Xia Ye said.
"This? On the ship?"
"It's not on the boat, it's on the whale." Xia Ye pointed at the beluga at the stern of the boat and suddenly smiled:
"Captain Yaha, your chart table has been requisitioned. Please place it on the back of the whale this afternoon, and then put the tableware and chairs on it. The chef and guests will arrive before 6 o'clock tonight. We will have a roast whale tonight." steak."
