Chapter 38: Collapse

A week later, He Yi made an appointment with Shen Siyuan to meet in the reception room of the palace.

The luxury of the palace was beyond Shen Siyuan's imagination, even if what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg, it was enough to make him jaw-dropping.

The floor is covered with lavish carpets, and when you enter the hall, you are greeted by a long staircase that never seems to end.

The dome is covered with lifelike oil paintings, which complement the ornate interior walls and are magnificently set off by intricate reliefs and elegant ornaments.

The corridor connecting the reception room is neatly hung with portraits of successive emperors, and the emperor's clothing style quietly changes with the ascending order of the portrait number, silently telling people about the changes and changes of the times.

These things, which have only been seen in museums, are now displayed in front of me without barriers, and the shock brought by them is naturally indescribable.

At that moment, he really felt that he had indeed crossed time and space.

He wanted to reach out and touch the living history, but it was too rude, so he lifted it up into the air and shrank back, holding his breath and carefully observing every detail.

This was his first direct contact with He Yi.

He Yi and He Yuanzheng look very similar, but they don't have the same sense of oppression as He Yuanzheng.

In fact, He Yi gave him a feeling close to Xu Linfeng, hiding all his edges, calm and introverted, which made people feel good.

"Hello." He Yi stretched out his hand. Shen Siyuan noticed that his nails were trimmed very flat, and they were clinging to his fingertips in a rounded arc, as if he had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Shen Siyuan returned the salute and said respectfully: "Hello, Your Highness." ”

"This is something I modified on the fly, and if you want to join, the product plan and market outlook have to be revised, so there are some things that haven't been determined yet." He Yi gave Shen Siyuan the plan that had not yet been perfected, "Shen, do you have any understanding of the future operation of the enterprise?" ”

"Nope." Shen Siyuan said truthfully, "As soon as I graduated from school, I went to the equipment department to make mechas. ”

"Mecha ......" He Yi touched his chin and asked jokingly, "You want to change it to an arms company?" ”

"Oh, no, Your Highness, are you kidding?"

"Don't be nervous, Shen, I won't." He Yi leaned back at his desk, looking very casual, "I think I should ask you in a different way." ”

Shen Siyuan listened quietly.

"Can you describe what life will look like in the future? For example, the structure of the building and the design of the interior, the electronic equipment that people usually use, and so on. ”

When he said this, Shen Siyuan immediately understood: "Do you want me to directly make electronic instruments for future use, or design intelligent systems inside the house?" ”

"yes, that's it." He Yi nodded, pursing his lips in the same way as He Yuanzheng, "Túrin's scientific and technological strength ranks first in the world, and the competition is very fierce. But those companies are competing on the same level, fighting to the death every day, why should I join them? ”

"I'm not going to compete for that pitiful market share, I'm going to get involved in areas they don't even dare to think of, open up a new industrial chain, completely monopolize the new market, and let the price completely depend on me."

"And they can't compete with me, because my product concept is 2,000 years ahead of them."

"I've built a company that has a market capitalization that exceeds the GDP of most countries—"

"To become the world's largest business empire."

Ningxi City, outside an abandoned church, a strict cordon was raised, and uniformed staff came in and out, extremely busy.

Xu Linfeng pushed open the secret door of the church hall, and went down the stone stairs to a basement, where the small space was hit by a strong light, and the lights were suddenly bright.

The interior is supported by four stone pillars, the stone carvings of the walls and the dome are densely packed, and the rough statues of the gods are sad and solemn, but under closer inspection, the green face and fangs are hideous.

In the center of the ground is a pale marble inlaid with a black irise. In front of the flower, there is a gold-plated chair with intricate carvings, and an eagle on the back of the back, with ruby eyes, looks at the world like weeping blood.

This is where the Black Kite Knights are used for ceremonies.

Luqiu Yunyao was baptized here.

There was still a smell of blood in the basement, and Xu Linfeng covered his mouth and nose.

He started to check from the line of Luqiu Yunyao and found that he had come to Ningxi some time ago. He trusts his instincts, but he is not a fanciful person, and if Parrett is really a high-ranking member of the Black Kite Order, then he must have something else to hide when he came to Ningxi during the summit.

Shen Siyuan said that they were waiting for someone outside the city, and if this assumption was true, then most of this person was inseparable from the summit.

For business reasons, Luqiu Yunyao, who stayed in Ningxi for a few days, bore the brunt.

After obtaining important clues, the investigation team continued to investigate for nearly two weeks, and finally locked on here.

Xu Linfeng put his hands behind his back, observing the small basement little by little, Morris was standing next to him, and he was holding the instrument together with Helen to conduct fine scanning and establish a holographic simulation map.

He paced slowly in the basement, piecing together known pieces in order to form a single piece.

Ningxi, why Ningxi again?

From Parrett appearing, to discovering an unarchived underground base, to now discovering here......

If Parrett had met with Luqiu Yunyao here, what role did Luqiu Yunyao play in the Black Kite Knights?

Are they the economic backbone of this organization?

The conflict between Luqiu Yunyao and Luqiu Zeyang broke out after he returned to Witon, is it related to this meeting?

Luqiu Yunyao's account surface was relatively clean, and some small amounts of flowing water did not find any problems.

If he were to use the funds to support the Black Kite Order, what kind of way would he take?

Xu Linfeng unconsciously rubbed his fingers, which was a common action he used when thinking.

The functions of the Intelligence Agency and the National Security Service overlap, and both deal with intelligence. The Intelligence Agency focuses on integration and analysis, while the NSA focuses on interception and interception, and the small and messy information collected must be efficiently screened out and provided to subsequent departments for processing.

Years of intelligence career have given Xu Linfeng extremely terrifying analytical power and incomparably accurate judgment.

The deputy prime minister of the year just had a meal with him, and accidentally saw his cufflinks engraved with the family crest of an old family, and it was not long before he discovered evidence of corruption. Admiral Bruno was in contact with the foreign intelligence officer's informant only because of the slightest deviation in the time and route of his return home, arriving five minutes later than usual.

And these recent seemingly unrelated events, once connected, will lead to an extremely terrible conclusion.

Sache is in the process of making a substantial purchase of Hengxin's shares.

If this is the money that Luqiu Yunyao gave to the Black Kite Knights, this is almost giving the entire enterprise away.

Then it can also explain why Luqiu Zeyang has a conflict with Luqiu Yunyao.

So Sache...... Also belonging to the Black Kite Order.

Xu Linfeng almost couldn't stand on his feet after thinking about it, the terrifying thing about this organization was far beyond his imagination, and the more he found out about it, the more terrifying it made him.

With total assets of more than 3 trillion yuan, the Sache Group is indeed a part of them.

He had thought about what kind of background and financial resources it would take to maintain such a large organization, to attract so many elites, and to avoid the intelligence networks of various countries, and even he himself was kept secret.

He even had a feeling that this time it was the Black Kite Knights who deliberately let him discover their existence that would be so unscrupulous.

They are actively exposed to themselves.

If the Black Kite Knights are behind Sacher, then Qiē makes sense.

This organization, hidden in the dark, has finally been lifted the tip of the iceberg.

"Dididi-" The bell suddenly rang with a vibration, and all the staff in the basement looked up at the source of the sound, Xu Linfeng took out the terminal from his pocket in surprise and found that it was He Yuanzheng's personal secretary.

What are you calling for?

He gestured for everyone to continue working, and walked out with the terminal, but as soon as he put on the headphones, he was startled by the anxious voice.

"Xu Linfeng, Emperor Majesty has just fainted!"

He Yi, who graduated from the Department of Finance of Witton University, the top-ranked comprehensive university in Túrin, has an extremely sensitive business sense.

After listening to Shen Siyuan's description, he quickly decided to let the other party be a smart machine, and promised to make a more detailed plan within two days today and tomorrow.

Shen Siyuan, who has been dealing with machine users for more than 20 years, is familiar with this, and he asked He Yi for the current smart machine as a reference.

"Shen, what do you think about the treatment?"

Shen Siyuan was suddenly stuck.

In the Free Commonwealth, his salary was not high, but so was all scientific researchers. The research funds did not belong to him, and not even every expenditure went through his hands, so that he had no idea about the design fee.

Otherwise, it is the same as Hengxin's system engineer salary, 100,000 a year......

Seeing that Shen Siyuan didn't speak, He Yiti said: "The annual salary is 1.2 million, and the machine is designed and copyrighted 1.5 million." ”

Shen Siyuan: "......"

Shen Siyuan was already petrified with fright.

That's a lot of money, he's never seen that much money before! Now the annual salary is 1.2 million, which is equal to 100,000 a month, and you can earn more than 3,000 a day! After conversion, the purchasing power is equivalent to 11 times his previous monthly salary! The average monthly salary of Túrin is 5000, and he can earn someone else's money for a month and a half in a day! There is also a design fee, and he can make a machine in a week to change a house! A big house!

Shen Siyuan is actually a person who has no material pursuits, almost all expenses in the Free Federation can be paid by the government, and there are very few places where he can spend money, but after arriving in Turin, he has to worry about his livelihood.

Xu Linfeng said that He Yi would treat him well, but he didn't expect it to be so good!

He added: "Plus 2% of the shares. ”

This is a very delicate number, the market value is large enough, and the annual dividend is a huge amount of money, enough to trap people. As a major shareholder, you can attend the shareholders' general meeting and participate in the company's major resolutions.

But once the company is financed and listed, and the shares are diluted to only a decimal point, his right to speak is insignificant, and the power of life and death is still in the hands of core shareholders.

It's just that Shen Siyuan doesn't understand, he doesn't even care too much about the shares, and the focus is all on the 1.2 million and 1.5 million.

Thinking of the zero behind the string of numbers, Shen Siyuan's eyes straightened. How do you spend so much money......

"Shen, do you have any objections?"

He Yi knew that the conditions he put forward were something that Shen Siyuan could not refuse, and said to himself: "After a while, we will sign the contract as soon as it is done......

"Your Highness!" Before He Yi could finish speaking, the secretary recklessly barged in.

However, before he could get angry because of this rude behavior, the secretary spoke in a panic: "Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor fainted in the office!" ”

He Yi stood up suddenly, his movements were so big that even the single sofa was almost lifted, and he lost his voice: "What's the matter?" ”
