The first thing Lilian saw above the "Yuan Ship Rental" was the square that had been cratered by the bombing, and a conference room that stood inexplicably in the middle of the square.
"What...what is this?" Lillian asked in surprise.
"It was left over from yesterday's battle." Xia Ye briefly told the story of the four people who were imprisoned in the crystal ball together with the conference room.
"The witch from Uptown is really scary..."
"Yeah, but I was still solved by this witch, hehe~"
Although it was solved by shaking people.
Arriving at the conference room agreed upon with Curran, he opened the door and found Curran and Chris already waiting inside.
"Good morning."
"Morning~ How are you feeling? Have you recovered?" Xia Ye looked at Chris. She almost died yesterday, and it was only thanks to Susha that she could fill the big hole in her stomach.
"I was asleep until I woke up this morning, but I'm fine now." Chris said with a smile.
"Susa didn't do anything strange to you, right?"
"No, she told me that it would take a while for her to digest and asked me not to disturb her. Then there was no movement."
Susha said the same to me, Xia Ye thought to herself. The reason why she asked this was because she knew the characteristics of flowers - once a flower takes over the host's body, it will never leave until the host dies. Therefore, even though she knew that Susha probably meant no harm, Xia Ye was also curious about what she wanted to do next.
She looked at Curran.
"Susa said the same thing to me." Curran spread his hands and said that he didn't know anything. "She has been sleeping all the time and didn't pay attention to me at all... uh, even once."
"Eh??" Xia Ye and Chris were both curious.
"When I was getting dressed this morning, I originally picked a long-sleeved dress, but Susha suddenly told me that long sleeves were too stuffy, so I had no choice but to pick this one." Curran pointed to his short-sleeved top. explain.
When she mentioned this, Xia Ye immediately remembered that Kelun did wear a long-sleeved skirt every time he met before. Thinking about it now, it should be to cover the contract mark that covered almost the entire arm, but now, the girl No trace of the agreement could be seen on the jade-white skin.
"All the contracts signed by 'Venture Capital Seven' with you are invalid?" Xia Ye asked.
"Well, I finally feel like I'm no longer a puppet." Curran said with a smile, "However, when 'Venture Capital Seven' designed the contract, they embedded a stop-loss clause in the contract. When the contract expired, it also A large amount of Moir was deducted from the company, and the amount was exactly equal to the capital they invested in the 'Ocean Ship Leasing' for the first time."
Curran naturally got to the point.
Xia Ye also put away her relaxed spirit and entered a state of negotiation.
"How about the Moer flow of 'ship charter'?"
"I'm very nervous." Coren replied, "If it hadn't been for killing Serena and recovering part of Mol, the 'Yuan Ship Leasing' would have gone bankrupt now."
Xia Ye thought for a while and said: "I pledged 3,500 moles in the 'Yuan Ship Leasing' as a guarantee for Captain Yaha. I don't need to withdraw it now. After we negotiate the capital injection, the moles will be directly Convert to shares.”
"Thank you." Curran said sincerely, "This helps us a lot."
"In addition, I can also provide support of 5,000 moles. If you need it, you can transfer it within this week. There is no need to repay it. After the share ratio and price of the capital injection are negotiated, it will be directly converted into shares."
This time, Ke Lun just looked at Xia Ye calmly.
Although the two parties are now partners, she knows that Xia Ye cannot show kindness for no reason, just like she will not do so. Any generosity must have a corresponding price tag hidden behind it.
"Xia Ye..." The girl spread her white right hand and dark left arm, "If you need me to do anything, you can just tell me."
That's the good thing about talking to Ke Lun, Xia Ye thought to herself, as soon as you finished your first sentence, she already knew what you wanted to say in the fifth sentence.
"I have two requests." She said straight to the point. "The first one is related to Chris, and the second one is related to Lillian."
“Let’s talk about the first one: I hope the company will immediately set up a project to study how to make aether ramjet thrusters.”
Coren frowned slightly.
Chris was even more impatient: "Sir Xia Ye, the amount of mols this research will cost is estimated to be an astronomical figure, and the 'ship rental' simply cannot afford it."
Xia Ye looked at her and laughed: "You actually care about the cost?"
"I will also reflect on it." Chris said with some embarrassment.
Xia Ye was just joking just now, and immediately returned to the topic: "You misunderstood, I am not asking you to create it now, but it is just a pre-research. What you have to do is to collect as much relevant information as possible, and then integrate and sort it out for To prepare for the formal research and development in the future, everything is just work on paper, and it shouldn’t cost many moles.”
"That's no problem." Chris agreed.
Curran, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Why are you so anxious to create an aether ramjet thruster?"
"Although I don't know much about shipbuilding..." Xia Ye said, "but I also know that a ship without an aether ramjet thruster is almost an empty shell, but now the several manufacturers that manufacture thrusters are all produced by 'Ether Exploration' Holding, right?”
Curran nodded.
"That is to say, as long as 'Aether Exploration' prohibits those manufacturers from supplying us, we won't be able to build a single new ship, right?"
"That's true, but what's the point of doing this?" Curran was still a little confused. "If 'Ether Exploration' doesn't want us to build ships, it just needs to send a level 6 witch to kill us all. 'Ocean ship leasing' no longer exists, so naturally there will be no ship building, and there is no need to go around in such a big circle."
"Many things are not that extreme." Xia Ye shook his head gently: "Now we also have a protective umbrella. Even if a level 6 witch comes, it can't kill us. And if more big witches are to be sent, there will be internal problems. In terms of different 'ether exploration', it is another very difficult thing to coordinate."
"So you think that 'ether exploration' will not use force?" Curran asked.
"At least not in the near future. However, some of them will react soon. In fact, there is no need to use force at all. As long as we exert a little influence to make the thruster manufacturer stop supplying to us, we will create any more New ships. By then, not to mention exploring further seas, even the company itself will go bankrupt."
After Xia Ye finished speaking, both Curran and Chris fell into deep thought.
"If this really happens..." Curran looked at Chris.
"We can get some parts from the black market, and even one or two complete machines, but no matter what, it's just a drop in the bucket. Once the supply is cut off, as Lord Xia Ye said, we will definitely never be able to build any new ships." Chris replied.
"It seems that in order to solve this problem as soon as possible, pre-research is not enough... First of all, we need to have drawings, well, this can be reverse surveyed and mapped, and then we need to find a way to build a production line, and we also need to have procurement channels for raw materials and parts... "
"Wait a minute, our company doesn't have that many moles to do these things now..." Chris interrupted Curran hastily.
"I'll figure it out. Anyway, you first organize people to start doing reverse mapping."
Xia Ye looked at them and couldn't help but smile secretly. She always felt that compared with before, these two people were just the opposite.
"In short, I agree to your request." Kelun looked at Xia Ye, "Even for the company itself, we will step up the promotion. But I am still a little curious, why are you so sure that 'Ether Exploration' will do this? Although I I also think your speculation makes sense, but it’s like… it’s like…”
"As if I've seen it with my own eyes?"
"...Yes." Curran nodded.
"Because similar things did happen in the city where I used to live." Xia Ye replied half-seriously.
"So that's it." Curran asked no more, "Then what's the second condition?"
"Cooperate with us in issuing bonds."
"Issuing...debts?" This is a completely unfamiliar word to Curran.
"Yes, issue bonds."
Xia Ye took a piece of crystal from Lilian's hand and pushed it to Curran along the table: "This thing is a bond."
