Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Second Negotiation
Rooks didn't think too much about the relationship between Blackfire and Scarab, he just needed to know that he could gain huge benefits from the fight between the two companies.
In order to be able to obtain orders for the Grand Fleet of the Imperial Navy, the Rookes shipyard has prepared many warship designs, and even built a corvette prototype. Just wait for the tender to start and compete with other world-renowned shipyards.
However, due to geographical factors, the Rookes shipyard did not have experience in building warships before, so it did not have much advantage in the design of warships. In Rooks' initial vision, it was also a bundle of steel and battleships...... As a result, due to the intervention of the Black Fire Company, many incidents were added.
Fortunately, the emergence of the Scarab Company allowed the Rooks Company to gradually recover its disadvantages and successfully completed the overtake.
Eliza said that the corvette design and prototype provided by the Scarab Company are the most advanced in the world, so Rookes Shipyard does not need to try its luck with its own warship design. At the same time, Rookes was also greedy: "Since the Scarab Company has the design drawings of advanced corvettes, then there must also be design drawings of other types of ships.
It's better to give them all to me, so that it will be safer for me to win the order of the Flamenck Imperial Navy. ”
Regarding Rooks's greed, Eliza chuckled and said: "I know the process of the Florinck Navy's bidding this time, and the Flamenke Navy will not easily build 10,000-ton cruisers and battleships until the strength of each shipyard is unsure."
They will first choose corvettes, which are thousand-ton warships, to test the design and construction capabilities of various shipyards.
The Frominque Naval Grand Fleet is a program with a cycle of five to ten years. They will give priority to equipping a large number of corvettes to train their own navy, and then gradually improve the types of ships in the large fleet. By the time they decided on the construction of cruisers and battleships, it was estimated that it would be three years later.
You don't need blueprints for large-tonnage battleships right now, a light destroyer is enough for you to get this order. ”
Three years later, the wormhole station of the Star Alliance will connect this star field. When the time comes, it will be a contest between the two Starlink companies...... Eliza thought it was time for her to retire.
Rookes smiled awkwardly, Eliza was right, this tender meeting of the Flamenck Imperial Navy was actually a contest of thousand-ton warships. As long as you get an order for corvettes, you can develop the experience of building warships at the Rux shipyard. As the only shipyard in the Frominque Empire that can build warships, it is only natural to take over other types of ships in the Imperial Navy in the future.
"Thank you Lady Eliza, thank you to the Scarab Company."
At this time, the engineer of the Rookes Steel Plant brought the test report of the special steel, and looking at the data on the paper that far exceeded that of ordinary steel, Rookes laughed: "For the selfless help of the Scarab Company, Rookes will definitely repay it with loyalty." ”
Eliza said: "Prototypes and drawings of the corvettes will arrive in Saroyan in the near future. The matter of the tender for the Frominck Navy Grand Fleet will be left to you, and the company has another important matter that I need to deal with. Don't mess up your mission. ”
The special steel smelting process and battleship drawings are a bunch of backward technologies for Eliza. The purpose of the Scarab Company is not to make money, but to make trouble for the Black Fire Company, and then take the opportunity to promote the worldwide archaeological operation organized by the Scarab Company.
After months of planning and liaison, the expedition organized by the Scarab Company had completed all the preparations. World-renowned explorers gathered in Saroyan, and together with the mercenaries who followed the expedition, the entire team numbered more than a thousand people. In the coming days, explorers will share their intelligence and information, connecting these scattered clues to find ancient ruins that have not yet been discovered. The expedition would then split into teams and travel around the world in search of ancient ruins in the transportation provided by the Scarab Company.
Conveniently located in Saroyan was the center of activity for the expedition, and the Scarab Company rented a building specifically for the expedition as a base. During the expedition's search for ancient ruins, the personnel left behind at the base will continue to collect information about ancient ruins from all over the world, and then determine the location of ancient ruins, and then hand them over to the expedition team to find.
The entire expedition will continue until the Starlink's wormhole station opens, and the Scarab Company will seize more magical alchemy resources.
In order to stabilize the Black Fire Company, Eliza invited Da Liang to conduct the second negotiation of the "Order Star Resource Allocation" after a lapse of several months.
The negotiations took place in a suburban estate that Eliza had purchased for herself.
The manor is full of greenery, flowers, butterflies and birds. Under a gazebo full of vines, there are several rattan chairs woven of rattan wood. A few small furry animals, not afraid of people, shuttled through the grass, picking up food from time to time and stuffing it into their mouths.
Da Liang and Eliza sat opposite each other around a prototype glass coffee table, with Sophia and Moira, the dragon genetic changer, standing behind them. A maid brought dessert for two people and poured tea before retreating far beyond the pavilion.
Soundproofing and anti-detection magic in the gazebo activates.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, Young Master Liang, you have grown taller." Eliza took a small egg tart with tweezers and put it on the plate in front of Da Liang, and said, "This is what I made with my own hands...... Give it a taste. It's hard to find this all-natural ingredient on earth, and of course there is no clean air here. This is also the reason why we linger in the world of the star field, where we can forget our bad life.
It would be better if it weren't for you and the presence of Blackfire.
The discovery of the Order Star will definitely give me a large bonus. Then I can terminate the contract with the Scarab Company and use the last journey of my life to visit all the colonies controlled by the Star Alliance, which can also make my life on Earth a little better.
But your presence threatens to shrink my winnings significantly. For the sake of my old age, I can only fight for the best interests of the company I work for on the planet of order.
I hope you can make concessions, you don't know what crazy an old woman can do for her pension. ”
Da Liang picked up the egg tart and took a bite, and said, "Lady Eliza, you make the egg tart very delicious, but an egg tart can't buy me." We are all employees of our respective companies, and if you want to get more pensions, I want to get more commissions for your business. I'm giving in here, you can travel happily, but I still have to save money to marry a wife.
I will not make any concessions, I will let you know the determination of bachelors to fight for happiness. ”
