"You can leave the division of the money later. Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, I won't ask for too much."
Qin Xiao thought that Zhao Lin was concerned about the distribution of interests, and once again expressed his attitude to reassure Zhao Lin.
This is just like when Qin Xiao gave Xiao Zhu the focus star pattern. No matter how good the product is, if there are no mature sales channels, it will be difficult to sell it at a high price or even promote it.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and fighting in the mall is no less than a real battlefield.
Whether it was the Bai family back then or the Zhao family now, they were all allies chosen by Qin Xiao after careful consideration.
Since we want to form an alliance and cooperate, of course we must come up with a profit distribution plan that is satisfactory to both parties.
When allies are reliable, greed is short-sighted and will only turn an originally lucrative business into nothing.
I thought that this was what Zhao Lin was paying attention to, but I didn't expect that Zhao Lin shook his head directly and denied it: "What I want to say is another thing."
"Another thing?" Qin Xiao thought for a while, then reacted immediately and asked, "What does Uncle Zhao mean about finding a backer?"
"Has anyone told you what I think?" Zhao Lin was surprised and asked in surprise.
"You haven't told me about it. I guess Uncle Zhao wouldn't say this idea to others casually." Qin Xiao explained.
Zhao Lin slowly put away his shocked look and said with emotion: "Sometimes I really wonder if you lied about your age. On many things, your views are not as mature as those of an 18-year-old."
"Maybe I'm just born to think more than others." Qin Xiao replied perfunctorily without comment.
In fact, the so-called finding a backer has always been the most critical thing in the production of new high-end star energy cards.
Although the Zhao family itself is one of the four major families on Elam, it can even be said to be the leader in terms of financial resources.
But in fact, if the Zhao family relies solely on its strength, it is impossible to maintain the business of new high-end star energy cards.
To put it more seriously, this is something that is enough to change the structure of the Star Empire. A local family on the small planet Elam simply has no ability to develop alone.
The so-called laws and rules are just a cover for those with vested interests before they show their faces.
Once the issue of distribution of huge benefits is involved, and even those who stand on the stage have to go on stage shirtless, the usual rules will become meaningless.
Zhao Lin knew this very well, but he had never mentioned it before because he was worried that Qin Xiao was young and energetic and could not figure out the reason.
After all, the more people involved in this matter, the more benefits will be shared.
If Qin Xiao cannot understand the key and thinks that Zhao Lin is trying to divide the interests, the transaction will not proceed.
Fortunately, Qin Xiao's reaction made Zhao Lin happy, and the process of talking about cooperation with smart people was also very comfortable.
"Does Uncle Zhao already have a goal?" Qin Xiao asked.
Zhao Lin hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "I can contact General Dezan's deputy general Qiu Cheng. I have been managing this relationship for many years. If I am more careful, I should be able to contact General Dezan."
Hearing Zhao Lin mention General Dezan, Qin Xiao almost blurted out no, but luckily he held back at the critical moment.
After hesitating for a long time, Qin Xiao finally said: "This matter may need to be discussed in the long term."
General Dezan is the supreme military commander of Wupuxing Province. In theory, he is Sun Dianchen's direct commander and one of the ten marshals of the Xingji Empire.
The Star Empire has a total of nine star provinces. Each star province contains a different number of planets, but generally speaking, the scope of the star field is similar.
A highly developed planet like Elam is a first-class star.
Depending on the position of the planet in the star field and the degree of development, there are also second- and third-class stars, as well as flying stars orbiting these planets.
Anyone who can control the military strength of a star province is absolutely strong, and General Dezan is the strongest among the strong.
You must know that among the nine supreme commanders of the military departments of the nine star provinces of the Star Empire, only three are marshals, and the other six are "merely" generals.
The Wupu Star Province is located in the eastern star region of the Xingji Empire and belongs to the border area of the empire.
The reason why the supreme commander of the military department of Wupu Star Province is a strong man at the marshal level is because Wupu Star Province is one of the three theaters of the Star Empire.
In the star field to the east of Wupu Star Province, there is a powerful empire that has just emerged in the past hundred years - the Tianluo Empire.
The Tianluo Empire is the most dangerous enemy of the Xingji Empire. As a war zone to defend against the invasion of the Tianluo Empire, the strategic significance of Wupuxing Province is needless to say.
However, in the past hundred years of collisions with the Tianluo Empire, the legions of Wupuxing Province have always lost more than they won, and have even fallen to the point where large amounts of compensation are needed to stop the war.
Compared with the dazzling performance of the Northern Army in blocking the invading enemies on the northern battlefield, the performance of Wupuxing Province can only be described in two words.
Cowardly.
In fact, even if a large amount of compensation is required, Wupu Star Province is still the richest star province in the Star Empire.
The reason why they have such a trump card but play it so cowardly stems from the extremely complicated power struggle among the empire's top brass and those so-called great wisdom decisions.
After all, even when a large amount of compensation needs to be raised by itself, Wupusing Province is still highly developed, which seems to prove that the strategy of exchanging resources for development is correct.
If the war really continues, the prosperity of Upusing Province may disappear.
Although the battlefield in the north was fought beautifully, the huge military expenditure also dragged down the Kebeixing Province, and even required support from the imperial capital all year round.
It is precisely because of the obvious "quagmire effect" on the northern battlefield that the current cowardly situation in Wupuxing Province continues.
But in the final analysis, this is the will of the empire's high-level officials, and ordinary people cannot change it.
Over time, people living in Wupusing Province can only pretend that they only have immediate prosperity and no compensation.
The reason why Qin Xiao left Wupuxing Province and went north to join the Northern Army was because he was fed up with this cowardice.
But now that he was here again, looking at everything from a perspective that was ten years beyond the present, Qin Xiao found that he couldn't tell whether things here were right or wrong.
If I had to comment, I could only secretly sigh in my heart that the vitality of Tianluo Empire and the decadence of Xingji Empire were in sharp contrast.
The rise of the Tianluo Empire was not accidental. Before its rise, they experienced more than ten generations of monarchs. They learned all the advanced technologies they could from the outside world, and internally focused on the cultivation of domestic star warriors and martial arts and the development of mechanical technology.
Hundreds of years of accumulation finally ushered in the powerful attack of the Tianluo Empire.
Qin Xiao didn't know how General Dezan, as the supreme commander of the Wupuxing Province's military department, would feel in the face of the Tianluo Empire's pressing pressure.
But at least he knew that he couldn't be approached about the new high-level star energy card.
The reason for this, he couldn't explain clearly now.
Faced with Zhao Lin's confusion and even doubts, Qin Xiao had no choice but to say: "I have a better choice, but I am still testing it at the moment."
"Tell me about it." Zhao Lin asked.
"Bai family, how are you?"
"Which Bai family?"
"Of course it's the Bai family, one of the Five Pillars of the Five Kingdoms. The Bai family has the God of War Bai Qi."
"This is the Bai family..." Zhao Lin looked solemn and said nothing for a long time.
After a long time, Zhao Lin asked cautiously: "Are you sure you can convince the Bai family?"
"Uncle Zhao, let's not hide our words when we talk. With the new high-level star energy card, isn't it easy to convince anyone? What you are worried about is just whether the Bai family will eat us in one bite, right?" Qin Xiao said with a smile.
After his thoughts were revealed, Zhao Lin did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he nodded frankly and said: "Yes, we have to guard against this kind of thing. The power of the Bai family is too strong. As long as they want to, even my little family will be directly eaten by them." It won’t cause any trouble if you drop it.”
The current head of the majestic and wealthy family on the planet Elam actually calls his family "Little Family", which shows how much pressure the Bai family, one of the five pillars of the empire, puts on him.
However, Zhao Lin's worries are not unreasonable. With his family's strength, it is not a fool's errand to establish a connection with General Dezan.
But if it were the Bai family, one of the five pillars of the empire, this kind of thing would feel fuzzy no matter how much you think about it.
That was an extremely powerful and mysterious family to Zhao Lin. He had no way of predicting the consequences of cooperating with such a family in advance.
In fact, Qin Xiao couldn't guarantee that it would be no problem to approach the Bai family on this matter.
His only support was because he was a soldier in the Bai Qi Legion when he was fighting on the northern battlefield before his rebirth.
Although he has never been in contact with Bai Qi, he knows Bai Qi's attitude on matters involving the interests of the empire.
The reason why Bai Qi and Xiao Zhuer were called the Imperial Twins in the future was because they were brothers and sisters who truly dedicated themselves to the country.
The entire Bai family is indeed the most loyal guardian of the empire. Even when the empire is in dire straits, they still firmly guard this broken and decayed country.
Although there will be moths in any family, Qin Xiao is still willing to believe that the Bai family is the one more worthy of entrustment.
Furthermore, the concentration star pattern has been handed over to Bai Qi, and now adding a new high-level star energy card does not seem to be too risky.
But now this matter is not decided by Qin Xiao himself. The Zhao family has already boarded the chariot, so naturally Zhao Lin needs to agree to this idea.
After another long silence, Zhao Lin suddenly asked: "How do you plan to contact the Bai family?"
"I have tried to communicate with them and now I am waiting for news."
"How about if they can send someone who can make decisions, and we can participate in the subsequent negotiations together?" Qin Xiao suggested.
"Okay, that's it, I'll wait for your good news." Zhao Lin agreed to Qin Xiao's proposal without hesitation.
When he returned to Polu Academy, the lights were on, and Qin Xiao didn't think too much about the new high-level star energy card.
He has already sent the message to the Bai family. As for what kind of response he can get, he can only wait and see.
But before waiting for the Bai family's reply, Qin Xiao met an unexpected person in front of Tianhuayuan.
Wenyuan.
