At the Elders' Meeting, except for Wang Qin, a young man, most of the people around were middle-aged and elderly people. Although the faces of those old people were covered with wrinkles and their hair was gray, everyone was full of energy and excited.
"Wang Qin, don't forget the promise you made when you accepted Dihao."
"You said that we should just sit back and collect the dividends and wait for the money to be counted. Now that Dihao has been attacked one after another, what else do you have to explain."
"I just said that a child should not be allowed to be in charge of Dihao. How can he know the dangers of society?"
"If the money Dihao has spent on building refuge areas over the years had been spent on research and development, we would have developed stronger armor and stronger weapons long ago, and we would have been protected by the military. Why would we have to suffer heavy losses again and again. "
"A young boy who has been sitting in this position for so many years must have had enough fun. I think this position should be occupied by the capable."
"We at Dihao are pursuing business, and the research institute is just for profit. Since the military wants to intervene, why should we ask for trouble? We are doing business just for the sake of profit."
…
"Are you done yelling?" Wang Qin said impatiently, and the wine glass in his hand fell directly on the table. "Although I, Wang Qin, am not a good person, I also know that if the military really interferes with Dihao, do you think you are still qualified to speak here?"
"You have lived for so many years, but you are just a bunch of rats, and you only care about the advantages of others." Wang Qin kicked the stool away directly, "Uncle Huang, I will leave it to you to preside over the next meeting of elders. I have something to do." Need to deal with it." After saying that, he walked away.
Wang Qin walked out of the conference room with a disdainful smile. Facing these uncles and elders who, like his father, had made contributions to the development of Emgrand, Wang Qin had no awe at all, but was extremely disgusted.
"A bunch of old fools who only follow the trend. Now that the military has made it clear that they want to intervene, I don't know how long they can continue to contend with the current situation." Wang Qin shook his head, frowning, and his face was full of sadness. .
"Plan A of the Dawn Project only relies on the data left by Lin Zihan. There is no way to go further. Perhaps the Wei Nao Project has reached its limit. Plan B has also suffered heavy losses now, and the final bargaining chip cannot be saved."
Wang Qin, who had always been calm and calm, was very upset at the moment. He thought he was sure of victory, but he didn't expect to be attacked one after another. Someone was behind it, and the old guys in the Elder Council were really unreasonable.
Wang Qin walked straight to the room at the end of the corridor. There were guards on both sides along the way. These people were all hired from the Bounty Alliance, and the weakest ones were S-level. It was enough to show the importance of the person in the room at the end.
The person in the room at the end is Wang Qin's last trump card, but now, it's time to take out this trump card.
"Dr. Qian, I have kept you waiting." Wang Qin opened the door and walked out. The people in the room were scientists who were famous in the Southern Region and even the entire Starfield Empire. They had made outstanding achievements in exoskeleton research and biological armor research.
"Young Master Wang of the Imperial Palace is indeed very majestic. At such a young age, he has become the leader of the Imperial Palace. His future life is formidable." Dr. Qian stood up and said with a smile. The smile seemed polite, but every word he said was indeed true. It's a compliment from the heart.
Not only in Nandu, but also in the entire federation of the empire, Dihao enjoys a high reputation, and the person in charge of Dihao is naturally a common topic in the business and political circles. When he was young and in power, Dihao prospered, no matter how it was passed down, it was a good story.
"Dr. Qian, I think you should know that the power vortex of Dihao is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface. If you choose to join the Dihao Research Institute now, will it..." Wang Qin did not continue. He thought about Dr. Qian. You should know it.
"Since our young master Wang Qin is so straightforward, I will not hide anything. I am also entrusted by others, and it is not my intention to come to Dihao. But my coming here proves that I will be responsible for Dihao." Dr. Qian Still smiling, he looked at Wang Qin in front of him.
I have more appreciation in my heart. Being able to take power in Dihao at such a young age is indeed extraordinary.
"If Dr. Qian can save this disaster for our emperor, Dr. Qian can also get what you want." Wang Qin did not shy away. Wang Qin originally planned to treat a leading figure in the academic world with courtesy, but he did not expect that Dr. Qian, a veteran figure in the scientific community, would also be driven by profit.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Dr. Qian laughed, smiling openly, chatting with smart people, it was so simple and clear, no need to be secretive, everyone got what they needed.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Wang Qin responded with a smile. He didn't hate Dr. Qian, but he didn't like him that much either. At least he is indeed a proficient person in the research of armor, he does not make any secrets, and he is quite open-minded.
"Dong dong~" Just as Wang Qin was shaking hands with Dr. Qian and cooperating, there was a clear knock on the door. Being qualified to walk in front of this door is no small matter.
"Come in!" As Wang Qin agreed, the ornately decorated wooden door slowly opened, and Huang Zhizong hurried in.
He leaned into Wang Qin's ear and whispered. After hearing what Huang Zhizhong said, Lin Zihan was stunned and asked with some doubts: "Really?"
"Yes, I'm waiting for you in another reception room now." Huang Zhizhong said, with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Dr. Qian, I still have some things to deal with here. Please do it yourself." Wang Qin turned around and said respectfully. Although he didn't like Dr. Qian very much, he had the respect he deserved and Wang Qin would not lose his etiquette.
The decoration in the other reception room was no worse than the one just now, but the guards outside the door turned out to be the Black Guards of the Security Bureau and the government.
"I didn't know that Mayor Yuan was here, but I was far away to welcome him." Wang Qin looked at the most powerful person in Nandu's political circle in front of him, Yuan Tingkai's brother, Yuan Tinghuan.
Wang Qin had met Yuan Tingkai several times before, but this was his first time meeting this powerful figure in politics.
"My visit this time is a bit abrupt and presumptuous." Yuan Tinghuan said with a smile, the fat on his face trembled, and his big belly was spread out on the sofa at this moment. Both hands were placed on the golden crutches, revealing a corner of the ring, which was also brilliant gold.
Seeing Yuan Tinghuan's fat and ostentatious appearance, Wang Qin looked at him a little like a country bumpkin, but he did not dare to neglect this high-ranking man in Nandu.
"I wonder if Mayor Yuan came here this time. Is there anything I, Dihao, did wrong?" Although Wang Qin was polite, there was still a bit of contempt in his eyes.
"I came here this time to arrange a meeting between the military, government and business circles. Firstly, it was to resolve the economic impact caused by the successive attacks on Emgrand. Secondly, it was also to deal with the military's troubles for my unsatisfied brother. I also I know that he has also caused a lot of trouble for you Dihao."
After saying that, Yuan Tinghuan smiled, and the fat on his face twisted together.
"Okay, I will naturally participate when the time comes." Wang Qin responded with a smile, but he had mixed feelings in his heart. Military, political and business affairs, both worlds are in the hands of the Yuan family. This meeting is more like the two Yuan brothers discussing how to carve up the southern capital. .
Looking at Yuan Tinghuan leaving, Huang Zhizong said in a low voice: "Master, it's obvious that Yuan Tinghuan has no good intentions."
"So what, we can only take one step at a time under the control of others." Wang Qin shook his head helplessly. This Dihao Building looks magnificent, but it has long been dirty and corrupt. Some of the elders in the Elder Council still admire Dihao sincerely. .
"Replace everything in this room." Wang Qin looked at the place where Yuan Tinghuan sat with disgust, wishing to burn it right now. There was even more disdain in his disgusted eyes.
The meeting between the military, government and business circles, organized by the mayor of Nandu City in the political circles, was held as scheduled at the Nandu Government Hall. Wang Qin did not break his promise and attended the meeting.
"The military has undergone a major change. As the capital of the Southern Federation, we are qualified to maintain the long-term peace and order of the Southern Capital and even the Southern Territory. Therefore, we require the expansion of military equipment, the construction of a powerful legion, and the march into wilderness areas to encircle and suppress ferocious beasts and reduce the tide of beasts. "
At the meeting, Yuan Tingkai spoke righteously and sternly, as if he was right and everyone else was pedantic.
"I am opposed to large-scale expansion of armaments, which wastes people and money." The first person to raise an objection was Yuan Tinghuan. At this moment, Yuan Tinghuan was serious and spoke sternly, with a strong tone and a firm attitude, and he could not refute at all.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Qin was confused for a moment. There are rumors outside that although Yuan Tinghuan and Yuan Tingkai are brothers and rely on each other to reach high levels in the political and military circles, they are not happy because of their disagreements.
"Is this a double act in front of me?" Wang Qin just smiled and said nothing, looking at the tense situation in front of him. The political and military circles were arguing and arguing.
The situation in front of us is less like a meeting of the three worlds and more like a quarrel between radicals and conservatives about the strategy for dealing with evil beasts during the great catastrophe.
"I don't agree with large-scale military construction. After several beast tides, Southern Capital and even the entire Southern Territory need to recuperate. What we need to do now is to stabilize the defense line, build the city, and ensure the safety of the city." Yuan Tinghuan slapped his big hand on the table , the entire conference room fell silent.
"Brother, I thought you would understand me and support me, but I didn't expect that now, you are so short-sighted and so conservative." Yuan Tingkai kicked the stool away and left the table angrily with the military personnel.
The meeting eventually broke up due to discord between the political and military circles. Wang Qin and Yuan Tinghuan also reached a consensus. Dihao took the lead and mobilized major economic groups to build large-scale infrastructure in the southern capital, support the planning and construction of cities in the southern region, and rationally replenish the defense lines.
Although the meeting ended unhappily, for Wang Qin, at least Dihao no longer needed to be controlled by the military and no longer needed to supply large-scale weapons to the military. The only sacrifice was to participate in the regulation. Among the plans to build the southern capital.
Although this is a difficult project, it is not like cooperating with the military. At least there is still a certain profit margin.
