1067 I will give you a condition that you cannot refuse
This is a large commercial planet located in the Dawn Cluster, and the sky is shuttled back and forth with anti-gravity flying vehicles, like rivers of steel hanging diagonally in the air.
The core city of the planet is full of high-rise buildings, one of the buildings is very conspicuous, towering into the clouds and standing out from the crowd, the overall structure is like a vertical gene chain, like a twisted "8", the outer wall of the building is pure white, and the corners flash with a faint blue light every once in a while, with a certain sense of science and technology and art.
At the top of the building, there are eight anti-gravity levitating aprons in a circle, like floating islands, arching and guarding the "β" type building signboard in the middle, which is the emblem of the Infinite Consortium - the entire building is a branch funded by the Infinite Consortium, and there are no special circumstances, and commercial organizations will not build armed bases everywhere like warlords.
A small aircraft in the atmosphere slowly landed on the tarmac on the top floor of the Infinity Consortium Branch, and Han Xiao stepped out of the cabin and stepped onto the platform.
"Welcome to Lord Blackstar."
The reception staff who had been waiting for a long time not far away immediately greeted him, and Black Star had already informed him about the visit to the Infinite Consortium, and the Consortium had arranged the reception staff early.
Han Xiao snorted, his face expressionless, and said, "What about Sorokin?" β
"Lord Sorokin is already waiting in the reception room, please come with me."
The receptionist replied respectfully and led the way.
Han Xiao followed him into the branch of the Infinite Consortium, took a private elevator, and stopped on a floor.
The elevator door opened, and a large space jumped into view, with a sofa and table in the center of the room, some kind of blue-green plants in the four corners, and all the surrounding walls were floor-to-ceiling windows.
Sorokin sat on the couch and waited, then stood up to greet him, a smile on his face, "Your Excellency Blackstar, please take a seat." β
The elevator doors closed, and there were only two people left in the room.
Han Xiao came to sit down opposite Sorokin, and Sorokin sat down again, and said with a smile: "Rare guest, when you said that you came to visit me, I still didn't believe it, how could a busy person like you suddenly come to me." β
"Why, aren't you welcoming me?" Han Xiao tilted his head.
"Haha, you're joking, of course I'm welcome." Sorokin kept smiling and looked at Han Xiao secretly, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
On the surface, he looked hospitable, but in fact, Sorokin was full of doubts, secretly speculating about the intention of Black Star to visit without warning.
Recently, the rumors of the Empire's concession to the Black Star have spread crazy in the outside world, and Sorokin has naturally heard about it, although he was surprised, but not shocked, after all, when Han Xiao had just solved the Hella rescue battle, he guessed this possibility, and his surprise came more from the fact that the Empire had really done it.
Now that the black star is in the limelight in the universe, at this juncture, this guy suddenly came to him, and he didn't know what his plans were, could it be that he wanted to cooperate on the issue of evolution totem?
Well, it's not like it, the empire has no reason to let outsiders interfere, and there has been a business struggle between the Infinite Consortium and the Black Star Legion over the years, although he kept it silent, he didn't forget it in his heart.
Sorokin was secretly very vigilant at this time.
Han Xiao behaved very relaxed, as if he was just coming to catch up normally, and smiled lightly: "It's the first time I've come to you as a guest, it's really prosperous, it seems that the Infinite Consortium is developing very well in the Shining World." β
"It's all thanks to the partners." Sorokin picked up the wine bottle on the table, opened the cap, and poured a glass for Han Xiao with his own hands.
"Well, good wine, this seems to be a glorious high-end product, specially supplied." Han Xiao picked up the wine glass, shook the amber liquor inside, listened to the crisp clanging sound of the ice cubes hitting the glass, smiled, and said casually: "Speaking of which, we are also partners in some fields. β
"yes." Sorokin nodded.
Han Xiao didn't get straight to the point, but began to do homely things, and Sorokin couldn't figure out what he meant, so he had to follow the conversation.
Taking a sip of wine, the crisp and mellow liquor flowed down his throat, Han Xiao smacked his lips, tasted it, and suddenly sighed.
"Alas, to this day, I still regret that the Infinity Consortium almost became a closer partner with us at the beginning, but unfortunately you finally chose the field of war."
"Hehe, business things, always can't be done accurately, compared to the self-contained Black Star Legion, the Infinite Consortium is more willing to invest in a force with a huge volume but difficult to realize, it's not that the Black Star Legion is not excellent, but the war field needs us more, I also deeply regret the cooperation that I couldn't reach at the beginning."
Sorokin said a few words, but he muttered secretly in his heart.
He invested in the field of war in order to support the opponent who was fighting with the Black Star Legion in the commercial arena and snatch the legion business, and the Black Star had no reason not to know that he mentioned this matter at this time, but he kept silent about the commercial struggle, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.
Let the old man have another false relationship with this person...... Sorokin thought to himself.
But at this moment, Han Xiao glanced up at him and smiled slightly: "Actually, this is what I came here today, today is different from the past, I want to represent the legion and provide an opportunity for the Infinite Consortium to cooperate." β
Hearing this, Sorokin's eyes narrowed, and he quickly calculated, and suddenly realized.
I see, it turns out that Black Star is planning to do so.
After the opening of the evolution totem, the Infinite Consortium does not need to continue to put pressure on the business of the Black Star Legion, the obstacles between the two sides have disappeared, and now it is possible to carry out business cooperation normally, with the size of the Infinite Consortium and the Black Star Legion, if it is a cooperation, it is indeed a win-win situation of mutual benefit.
To this end, Blackstar no longer pursues the contradictions of the more than 20 years of business struggle, and takes the initiative to put forward a vision of cooperation.
This kind of practice of abandoning previous suspicions and making money together is very appetizing to Sorokin, he thinks that he has guessed Han Xiao's intention, and he relaxes a lot, and the smile on his face is no longer formulaic, and finally has a little real smile.
"Your Excellency's proposal is exactly what I want, and now there are opportunities to shine all over the world, if the two of us work together, it will be invincible and occupy the majority of the shining world market!"
"Since Your Excellency Sorokin thinks so too, things will be easy!" Han Xiao slapped his thigh, "Then set a date for me to officially become a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium now." β
As the words fell, the air in the room froze.
Sorokin's smile froze on his face.
What, the position of a shareholder? Aren't we talking about normal business cooperation between two companies, how did we get around here?
However, seeing the playful look that flashed in Han Xiao's eyes, Sorokin chuckled in his heart, realizing that he seemed to have misunderstood Han Xiao's intentions.
"Your Excellency Blackstar, with all due respect, you are talking about cooperation ......"
"The cooperation opportunity I provided to the Infinite Consortium is to let me be a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium, don't you just have a vacant position?" Han Xiao's smile was meaningful, this was his true intention.
Sorokin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally confirmed that Han Xiao was not good.
Taking advantage of the vacancy of Gorutan's position, Blackstar wants to come over and replace him? Oh, I really think that the position of the shareholders of the unlimited consortium is a trophy, whether it can be used or not, I have to make a decision!
Around this position of shareholder, Sorokin has formulated a detailed strategy to enter the interstellar black market, which is a bargaining chip for trading with the secret master, he naturally will not hand over this position to others, this is related to the blueprint of the business empire in his heart, and becoming the protector of the interstellar black market is an extremely critical step, and there is no room for error.
Sorokin's smile faded, and he said slowly: "That's really sorry, although Gorutan suffered an accident, but since he is still alive, he is still a shareholder, if he dies in an accident, according to the terms he signed with me, the shares will be recovered by the consortium, I have no intention of setting up a new shareholder for the time being, if you want to talk about other cooperation, I am happy to accompany you, and the shareholder position is not to be discussed." β
Han Xiao was unimpressed and chuckled, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time you've rejected my request to be a shareholder. β
Hearing this, Sorokin couldn't help but think about it, as if more than twenty years ago, when the two first met, Black Star proposed it once.
"Yes, I rejected you at the time, and today I will answer the same question." Sorokin said lightly: "The foundation of the consortium is huge, and the change of any shareholder must seek the consent of all shareholders, and at the same time, each of the three cosmic-level civilizations has only one shareholder in the Infinite Consortium, and the tripartite checks and balances, and now that there is Kant among the shareholders, the Radiance and the Ethereal Spirit will not allow the second imperial ally to enter the shareholders' meeting of the Infinite Consortium." β
Han Xiao blinked and said meaningfully: "Sorokin, twenty years have passed, times have changed, and I will give you a condition that you can't refuse." β
"Oh?"
"Hehe, first of all, let's ask for the consent of all shareholders...... Do you think other people will support me, or reject me? β
Sorokin was slightly stunned, and his brows furrowed suddenly.
He suddenly found that this problem seemed to be an obstacle to Black Star.
Black Star is not what it used to be, its position in the universe is far greater than it was twenty years ago, and he is also responsible for building a super A-level united front communication platform, and this alone can get the support of McNison and Cthulye, and Kant, as a colleague of Black Star, is even less likely to oppose it.
Sorokin suddenly had a bad premonition.
At this time, Han Xiao smiled and said slowly: "As for the checks and balances of the three civilizations...... Do you think that for the sake of the Evolution Totem, Radiance and Ethereal Spirit will make an exception to allow a second Imperial ally to be a shareholder, or do you think they will take a clear stand against me at this juncture? β
Show oneβs true colors in the end!
That was Sorokin's only thought at the moment.
His face sank completely.
That's right, the empire opened the evolution totem, temporarily dissolving the hostility between the light and the ethereal, and in order to ensure the empire's smooth implementation of this decree, the light and the ethereal spirit may also turn into a cold and warm licking dog, not only to ease relations with the empire, but also to curry favor with the black star who holds the evolution cube.
What's more, Blackstar has their captives in his hands, and he has plenty of bargaining chips to make Radiance and Void Spirit compromise, if he insists on writing the conditions for becoming a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium into the ransom clause, then Radiance and Void Spirit will not only not stop him, but will also help Blackstar become a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium in turn!
At this moment, Sorokin finally noticed a detail that made him faintly uneasy but had been overlookedβas soon as the problem of the evolutionary totem was solved, although he completed the transaction between the light and the ethereal spirit, and obtained the benefits as he wished, he also lost these two talismans at the same time.
It means that if Black Star wants to be a shareholder, he, the head of the consortium, is not qualified to veto!
Either pinch your nose and let Blackstar be a shareholder and let this guy eat astronomical dividends for nothing, or wait for the three major civilizations to help Blackstar, sanction the unlimited consortium in the commercial field, and force himself to comply.
You can't give it if you don't want to!
Thinking of this, Sorokin glanced at Han Xiao deeply.
- Good means, completely use its own "potential", could it be that Black Star has already reached this point?!
Han Xiao just smiled, sipping the wine slowly, looking fearless, waiting for an answer.
Seeing this, Sorokin's expression kept changing, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke again and said slowly:
"Blackstar, your hand...... It's a pretty nice play. β
"And what are you going to choose?" Han Xiao's expression was playful.
ββ¦β¦ Do I have a choice? β
Hearing this, Han Xiao laughed, put down his wine glass, and stretched out his palm towards Sorokin.
"That'...... Happy cooperation? β
Looking at the palm handed over by Han Xiao, Sorokin took a deep breath, suppressed his-like mood, squeezed out a smile on his face, and reached out to hold Han Xiao's hand.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
The palms of the hands clenched together, and the eyes of the two collided in mid-air, as if they could spark electricity.
Seeing the banter in Han Xiao's eyes, Sorokin couldn't help but feel the urge to do it, but this thought was just raised and was extinguished by him.
He recognized the reality, since he couldn't resist, he could only enjoy, the lesser of two evils, even if it hurt, he resolutely compromised and softened to Han Xiao.
"Huh?"
Han Xiao was keenly aware of the killing intent that Sorojin exuded in an instant, and the feeling at this moment was as if he had seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the murderous aura was even stronger than Hela, to say that he didn't have tens of billions of lives in his hands, he didn't believe it.
This old guy used to be a murderer without blinking......
However, Han Xiao didn't care, he withdrew his hand with a smile, he knew that Sorokin was used to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he just bullied the other party and didn't dare to make a move.
After all these years, Han Xiao already knew Sorokin's style quite well, and this person didn't care about personal reputation at all.
If you take the initiative to attack, then if you dare to do it, Sorokin will dare to cheat, let yourself beat up with a shy face, and then use propaganda tools to add fuel and vinegar, and make the whole universe know, so that you don't take care of yourself, the position of the shareholder will be lost, the positive reputation will plummet, and a large number of cooperative consortiums will be lost - although there is no support from the brilliance and the void, but the identity of the head of the infinite consortium is also a talisman, this is not a cat and a dog of gray forces, but the leader of a legitimate interstellar business organization, using violent means against this kind of person, The negative impact is huge, just like a person surnamed Ma beating another surnamed Ma, can it make headlines, just think about it.
After getting what he wanted, Han Xiao stopped teasing Sorokin, put away his smile, and said lightly: "Since we have reached a consensus, please announce this matter to the outside world as soon as possible, I won't bother much." β
"Okay, go slowly." Sorokin forced a smile and said goodbye.
It wasn't until Han Xiao left the room that Sorokin's face completely stinked.
This time I planted!
Don't look at it, it seems that the shareholders have just changed from Gorutan to Blackstar, but this has ruined Sorokin's business strategy and missed the opportunity to enter the interstellar black market.
As a businessman, watching an important business opportunity slip through my fingers, the pain in my flesh cannot be described in words, it is simply unforgettable.
Moreover, with Black Star's vigilance against itself, it will not sincerely cooperate with the Infinite Consortium, so it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Infinite Consortium to get any feedback benefits from this shareholder, so it can only give dividends to Black Star for nothing, and maybe deal with the reverse osmosis of Black Star.
Just thinking about it makes Sorokin feel bad.
For a long time, the Infinite Consortium has been using commercial means to hinder the development of the Black Star Legion, and it has only recently converged, but this time, it was pressed down by Han Xiao and reversed.
Click!
The glass was crushed and shards fell to the ground.
Sorokin didn't wipe his hands either, letting the amber liquor drip from between his fists.
His face was very ugly, and he muttered to himself:
"I hate super A-grade ......"
