The two sat down in order in the conference room, and the conversation continued until Asker's long-legged female secretary brought two cups of brewed black tea.
Zhou Jinru took a sip of black tea, frowned and said, "I'd better bring the kettle. There's something wrong with the health package our operator prepared for me. It makes me thirsty easily."
Asker waved his hand, and under the strange gaze of the female secretary, a kettle filled with hot tea was placed in front of Zhou Jinru.
"I know there are many female operators in Rhode Island who look up to you, but no matter how young your body is, it will go downhill, and men need to protect themselves."
Zhou Jinru put down his teacup, raised his eyes and said, "Is this based on experience?"
“It’s a little bit of life experience for older people.”
Asker picked up a document at hand and handed it to Zhou Jinru. Apparently, the content to be discussed had been drafted before Zhou Jinru arrived today.
Zhou Jinru leaned back in his chair, glanced at the documents, and said without raising his head: "The production line of Originium grenades is not urgently needed by Saint Yalal. I don't care what you guys talk about. Rhode Island will not touch the military industry." , if you want a production line, I can help you contact Kalan Trading, or Raytheon Industries, how about that?"
Aske teased: "Didn't Aguang say he wants more money?"
Throwing the document on the table, Zhou Jinru held up the tea cup with both hands and sighed: "I thought you wanted that production line, so of course everything is fine. The relevant assistance I discussed with the old man is still in effect, but the actual situation is that the Holy Spirit is Yalar is helping to create more favorable conditions for the integration movement, so I have no choice but to thank him, after all, Rhode Island is a pharmaceutical company."
They did cooperate before, but the cooperation was only temporary. Regardless of Zhou Jinru's investment in the Yeti team or his limited investment in Faust, it was all based on the same goal.
"Old man, I won't say any polite words. Let's be honest. The eight cannons you want can be depreciated and transferred to you. As an independent city-state, Saint-Aral should have some heavy firepower to support the scene. Anyway, it is overused. , you can use it casually, but there is nothing I can do about the thermal weapons production line."
The reason why Zhou Jinru rejected Asker was very simple. If it was only Saint-Aral who needed it, he would have had many ways to hide it from them and build the production line under the eyes of the Victorians. But the problem lay in the job Asker gave him. According to the documents, the uniqueness of Saint-Aral means that the weapons production line must be moved out, at least not in the main city and several nearby blocks.
The current Saint-Yalal itself does not have such ability, so the question is, where is the production line that Asker wants?
In the integration movement there.
This is like Ursus buying weapons and equipment from Syracuse, and then Ursus turning the weapons and equipment into batches and handing them over to Lateran for transfer to Syracuse...
Is that really transporting equipment instead of creating conflict?
"In fact, this will cause more regional conflicts. Although the integration movement has become much quieter this year, various countries' investigations into the natural disaster have not stopped."
Ask regretted: "That's really a pity. You are unwilling to agree, so we have to drop this matter."
After sending Zhou Jinru away, Kesha, who had been peeking at the door, walked in. Looking at the documents thrown on the conference table, she couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Aske, is it really so difficult to negotiate business?"
Asker glanced at Kesha, shook his head slightly and said: "He and I are not talking about business. The deal for the eight artillery pieces was already concluded when he promised you. The rest is just a tacit understanding between us."
The old man with gray hair stretched out his hand like a dry branch and took the document from Kesha: "Actually, we don't need these at all. What we are really talking about is our views on the Integration Movement. I am telling him that the Integration Movement has been using He is trying to make himself stronger in various ways. He is telling me that some things cannot be solved by cooperation and business."
"so complicated."
"It doesn't matter, we still have a lot of time."
The sky in the Colombian wilderness is exceptionally clear. Perhaps because we have left the land city, even the wind blowing on our face becomes softer.
The wind held up the girl's silver-white hair and gently brushed her face. Her dark golden eyes fell on a piece of paper.
"How's it going, leader?"
The dragon girl shook her head: "The negotiation failed, as expected."
White Rabbit was a little frustrated: "That's it."
"The failure to negotiate is the right result. If things go in another direction, I will wonder if there is a trap in it."
Life for the integrated movement is still tight.
Just like Rhode Island, which is about to be evacuated, they must leave here before the Victoria Investigation Team can really start to find out.
Dragon Girl smiled and said: "Do you think you can really succeed? It's just a limited cooperation, and neither party has trust in each other. He has contacted you, but he has not let the Rhode Island operators relax their vigilance against you. Don't you understand? "
Froststar still shook his head.
"He's afraid of the leader."
The patriot's voice came closer and closer. The Wendigo with ancient bloodline walked up to them and said solemnly: "Prepare, complete, ready to evacuate at any time."
"Thank you for your hard work, old man. All our efforts will be rewarded. The seeds planted today will bloom into beautiful flowers and produce sweet fruits in the future."
With a flick of Dragon Girl's fingers, the document suddenly burst into dark flames, and in a blink of an eye, it was completely burned.
…
…
After Zhou Jinru returned to the Rhode Island camp, he saw the white-faced owl pushing Helmer's wheelchair to bask in the sun. Seria followed a few meters away, and Ifrit ran to who knows where.
It seems that Director Se still has a long way to go before he can achieve success.
Also basking in the sun was the operator Earth Spirit. Since Provence had other tasks, he had already returned to Rhode Island to make preparations. The remaining natural disaster messenger Earth Spirit had to follow Zhou Jinru and wait for the specific schedule to return.
"The doctor is here, do you want to bask in the sun too?"
The earth spirit leaned against the wall and spoke weakly.
The sun shone on her face, giving her a gentle luster, probably because of the sun exposure. The natural disaster messenger's complexion looked much better, not as gloomy as before.
"I'm just passing by, you can continue to bask in the sun."
Earth Spirit didn't reply, turned over and continued to dry.
On the other hand, the dark purple skeleton sheep next to her twerked hard at Zhou Jinru. Zhou Jinru guessed that the other party's action might be wagging its tail. Unfortunately, the tail was too short and it looked like a twerk...
"It turns out the doctor is back."
Amiya was processing documents when she saw Zhou Jinru coming in from the outside. Her expression looked a little strange, as if she was hesitant to speak.
