Chapter 487: A Conversation
Evening.
Yinfeng Space City, 68 floors, Luojia villa.
Luo Zhiyuan sat in the living room, holding an e-newsletter in his hand, looking at it absentmindedly. From time to time, his eyes fell on the closed door of the dedicated Tianxing training room.
"Shaofei hasn't come out yet?" his wife Zhu Ling took a cup of coffee and put it on the coffee table in front of Luo Zhiyuan, sat down beside him with some worry, and asked.
Luo Zhiyuan shook his head.
Zhu Ling sighed and asked, "How are you going to tell him?"
Luo Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I say, of course, it is straightforward." He's so big, he should be able to bear it. ”
Although the words were simple and crisp, Zhu Ling clearly found that there was some hesitation in her husband's eyes. The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes seem to be a little deeper than usual.
The Luo family started as an interstellar transportation business. At that time, Luo Zhiyuan relied on a miniature interstellar cargo ship with a capacity of less than 30,000 cubic meters to travel between more than 40 immigrant planets in the galaxy, slowly developing and growing, and accumulating this family business. Today, it has six interstellar cargo ships with a capacity of more than 500,000 cubic meters and two interstellar cargo ships with a capacity of more than one million cubic meters. And the net worth of the Luo family also exceeded one million star yuan.
In the interstellar transportation industry, such a volume can only be regarded as ants. But for most ordinary families, this can be regarded as wealthy. Therefore, from the day Luo Shaofei was born, he lived a privileged life that was different from that of children from ordinary families, carefree.
Luo Zhiyuan and Zhu Ling never forced Luo Shaofei to do things he didn't like to do.
Luo Shaofei is quite talented, and his reading grades are also good. In the Department of Interstellar Astronautics, the grades are all B+ or above. There are several subjects with A+s. However, he was born with a straightforward personality, and living in such an unrestrained environment, it is inevitable that he will be more willful than other peers.
Therefore, after graduating from college, Luo Zhiyuan did not let Luo Shaofei look for a job, nor did he force him to join his own company.
Luo Shaofei has been a Tianxing fan since he was a child, and his biggest dream is to become a professional star fighter. It's just that although his talent is good, he is still some distance from a professional star fighter. After two failed attempts to apply for the Liberty Star Fighter, he chose to run a guild.
In a way, the Celestial World is a war between the interstellar races. If the wars that broke out before the unification of mankind in history can determine a country's economy, technology, national strength and future, then the same is true of the Tianxing Wars of this era.
As long as you can win a tournament or a battle for the divine realm, you can get everything you want.
For example, the fruits of civilization left by the Celestial Star Clan, such as the voice of the Interstellar Alliance Council, such as broader interstellar development cooperation, such as a larger share of revenue...... Countless alien races with rapid progress in civilization have already proved this for the galactic human race.
And in war, it is not only the fighters on the front line who are participants. When the war machine turns, the whole country is a participant.
In real war, food, ammunition, ships, ...... Everything you can think of, needs to be supplied.
In the war of Tianxing, people also need to rely on the temple as a self-reserved land, as a logistics base for the continuous production Chinese of materials to ensure the supply of the front line. The national team star fighters at the top of the pyramid, every time they climb a little higher, they rely on the support of the middle and lower players of the huge pyramid.
Therefore, even if the Galactic Republic is now in a depression, the Tianxing World is still in full swing. Being able to run a guild in the Skywalker world is far more promising than running a small interstellar transport company in the real world.
In this regard, Luo Zhiyuan is very supportive.
Moreover, Luo Shaofei did show his talent in this area.
Originally, the Demon Flame Guild was only formed by Luo Shaofei when he was sixteen years old with his friends and classmates for fun. But even Luo Zhiyuan didn't expect that Luo Shaofei would run the guild well. From a small guild with only twenty or thirty teenagers, it has slowly grown into a big guild with a lot of fame.
Especially in the last year or two, the Demon Flame Guild not only has its own resource team, has stable resource channels, but also ranks among the top 50 in the first-level ranking of Tian'an City. Even if you add more than sixty second-level guilds and even fewer third- and fourth-level guilds, the ranking is still in the top two hundred.
This is not an easy task. Luo Zhiyuan's friends and business partners, as long as they hear about it, they all give a thumbs up and praise the tiger father without a dog.
Every time Luo Zhiyuan listens to it, his heart is like eating honey.
As for how much money this little loser has spent on Demon Flame in the past few years, and how much of this achievement is his own money, he automatically ignored it.
If everything was normal, life might go on like this. On the one hand, Luo Zhiyuan expects his son to have a future and make great achievements, but on the other hand, he doesn't want him to have too much pressure. As long as he can still make money, he will try his best to create a good environment for his son and be a solid backing for him.
However, the world is becoming more and more depressed.
In the past two years, the interstellar transportation industry has deteriorated, and its performance has become more and more dismal. Some large transportation companies can still barely hold on, while some small companies like the Luo family have collapsed.
Until now, Luo Zhiyuan has done his best. But who knows, at this juncture, Hongkun Group went bankrupt. This gave Luo Zhiyuan's company a fatal blow!
Seriously speaking, the Luo family and Hongkun Group have nothing to do with each other. If the Hongkun Group is compared to a giant whale, then the small transportation company of the Luo family is a mayfly that is almost invisible to the naked eye. Luo Zhiyuan's biggest partner is only a great-grandson-level company of Hongkun Group that is not ranked at all.
But under the nest, there are no eggs.
Originally, the partner owed the Luo family a large amount of money, and a few days ago it could be paid a little bit like a drop of water, but now that the Hongkun Group has collapsed, let alone business, even this account is yellow.
Luo Zhiyuan calculated the accounts by himself, and with the liquidity in his hand, he couldn't survive for three months anyway. And even if it can last for a few more months, it won't help. The future is dark, and there is no hope in sight. Therefore, the best thing to do is to stop your losses in time.
Dissolve the company, dispose of the assets, and life should be fine. But it is impossible to live the old days.
Especially Luo Shaofei's investment in the Tianxing world, he no longer has the strength to help.
That's the main reason why he's going to talk to his son today.
Luo Zhiyuan has always been concerned about Luo Shaofei's guild situation.
He knew that because the development of the guild had reached a bottleneck, Luo Shaofei had been engrossed in competing for the seat of the Resident Guild these days, which was the most important step for the Demon Flame Guild at present. With this step, the guild can be regarded as truly entering the threshold.
In normal times, Luo Zhiyuan would only support silently at this time, but now the situation at home has reached the point where it can't be delayed. And he also heard that Shaofei's guild is not in a good situation in Tianxing, with Shaofei's character, if he is still as willful as before......
There was silence in the living room. Although it was not yet evening, and the simulated sunlight in Space City was still shining, for some reason, the couple sat silently on the sofa, only to feel that the light was dim in front of them. Everything has lost its former color.
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a soft knock. Luo Shaofei walked out of the dedicated Tianxing Teleportation Room with brisk steps. He was just about to say hello to his mother, when he turned his eyes and saw Luo Zhiyuan, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Dad, you came back so early today......
As if sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Luo Shaofei's voice behind him became a little quieter.
"Shaofei, sit down," Zhu Ling glanced at her husband and said with a sad face, "I have something to tell you." ”
"What's wrong?" Luo Shaofei sat down on the sofa while observing the parents' expressions, and his voice was a little puzzled.
Luo Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, after all, he still couldn't say it directly, and while thinking about it, he asked first.
"I heard that the current situation of Demon Flame is a little bad......
"So that's the case," Luo Shaofei breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Dad, I was just about to tell you...... You don't know how lucky I was this time. ”
Saying that, Luo Shaofei told his parents everything that happened in the past two days.
At the beginning, Luo Zhiyuan and his wife were still a little absent-minded.
But listening to it, the two of them fell into a trance.
Hearing that the guild war was devastated, and the Tianhuo camp after the defeat was declared war by all the guilds, Zhu Ling interrupted Luo Shaofei's narration and asked eagerly: "So, what kind of big prince guild is finished?"
In this era, everyone is a participant in Tianxing, but because of time and energy, many people who are older and whose Tianxing career has long been fixed basically do not participate in the disputes of the temple, and every time they enter the Tianxing world, they just enter the Tiandao Continent to experience another life.
Zhu Ling, who is over 50 years old, is no exception. However, as Luo Shaofei's mother, she still cares about the Demon Flame Guild to some extent. Therefore, she knew that the notorious Great Prince's Guild was her son's opponent for the Resident Guild.
Unexpectedly, such a domineering and powerful guild was destroyed.
"Didn't you listen to Shaofei, even the Tianhuo Alliance is finished, and the Great Prince's Guild can still escape?" Luo Zhiyuan glanced at her impatiently on the side, but his face was full of relief.
With such an opponent missing from his son's guild, his hopes of winning the seat in the resident guild have greatly increased. This is the best news for the current Luo family.
"I asked my son, but I didn't ask you," Zhu Ling patted her husband's arm angrily, and asked her son eagerly: "What happened later? Didn't you say that the guild war was already over, why did you come back now?"
"Later......" Luo Shaofei laughed.
Then came the surprise.
