"What else is there other than silica that deserves my caution? Now that there is a problem with the federal funds, it is impossible for me to find someone else to raise funds for this kind of secret research, after all, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better. Andrea smiled bitterly.

"How much do you want? Since you came to me in person, you must have asked for a lot of money. "If Andrea needed very little money, he wouldn't have personally invited Rhodes to his presidential palace, so the amount of secret money he wanted must be staggering.

Andrea hesitated for a moment and then said, "One trillion alliance coins, I need one trillion alliance coins to continue the research of silicon mines." ”

"A trillion!" Although Rod was mentally prepared, he was still frightened by this number.

"I know it's a lot, but it shouldn't be a problem for you Volks." Andrea still knows a lot about the Volks, and if it sounds scary, it's only one-sixtieth of the Volks' total assets.

"I can indeed get one trillion, but the problem is that since this is a secret expense, I definitely can't tell the company about the flow of this expense, then the directors of the company will definitely trace the whereabouts of this money, and because of this matter, I will also have a hard time." One trillion is not a small amount even for the Volks, and this figure directly occupies 30% of the current Vaux family's liquidity.

And a trillion funds can't be spent just because of Rhodes's words, Rhodes must explain to the company's directors where the funds go, because such a large flow of funds can't be covered like the previous billions of billions, if it can't be explained, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the company's directors, after all, although the Volks-based Pharmaceutical Alliance is controlled by the Volks-family, those directors hold the company's shares.

"I know what your difficulties are, but you should understand what silica mines mean to the Federation, right?" Andrea said.

"Uncle Andrea. I do want to help you, but the unclear flow of a trillion dollars is enough to cost me the chairmanship of the next boardroom. Although Rhodes really wants to sell Andrea a favor, this matter is not a joke, even his grandfather can't take this kind of thing.

Andrea closed his eyes when he heard Rod's reply, he also knew that his request was a bit excessive, but he could not find another person to raise such a large amount of money except Rod, and he did not want to risk revealing secrets to find someone else, but he was not willing to let the research of silicon mine have to be interrupted because of the problem of funding.

"Actually, I have another way, but it needs Uncle Andrea's help." Rod suddenly came up with a very feasible idea.

"How?" Andrea asked eagerly, as long as she could raise money now. He was willing to say yes to anything.

"Silicon, if silicon ......"

"Say no more, it's impossible!" Andrea directly interrupted Rod's words.

"Murphy has consulted with me about the silicon mine, and no company will be allowed to interfere in this matter, and it can only be handled by the federal government." Andrea shook her head and said.

Murphy is a five-star marshal of the Morakot Federation. He once served as the head of the Federal Commander-in-Chief, but because of this position, he was too powerful. For a time, he even surpassed the federal president. was called a real dictator by the media, so under the pressure of public opinion, Murphy handed over the post of head of the Commander-in-Chief.

However, although the General Headquarters has now been disbanded, Murphy's prestige in the military has not diminished but increased, and although he is not seen to come out in peacetime, his words are actually very effective in the federal military, and it can be said that his attitude represents the attitude of the military. Andrea now has the constitutional power to appoint and dismiss major generals and military officers without going through Congress. But in fact, his influence in the military is far less than that of Murphy.

What's more, Murphy is a man who is extremely loyal to the Federation, and he will not agree to anything that dares to undermine the interests of the Federation.

"Then there is another way that is barely feasible...... "Seeing that he couldn't interfere in the silicon mine, Rhodes had to retreat to the next best.

"What method? As long as you don't interfere in the silicon mine, I can promise you. Andrea's desire for this funding has reached a very high level.

"I found a mineral star with an abundance of divine stones...... Rhodes said.

"You want to meddle with minerals?" Andrea exclaimed. Today, most of Morakot's major families are safe. Because they all run their own monopoly industries, the friction between them is not fierce. But if there is a family that sticks its claws out of the line, then I am afraid that things are complicated.

"I do want to get involved in minerals, and I'm afraid there's no other way to cover this trillion-dollar funding gap." Rod said.

Chu Heng's mineral star contains a divine stone source worth more than two trillion yuan, and the annual output is about one hundred billion, which means that Andrea is given one trillion in exchange for the government's support, and the Walker family still earns one trillion yuan, I believe that those directors have no opinion on such a result. Moreover, in this way, the divine stone he holds in his hand can also be sold openly, and after his operation, there will be a lot of funds that can be used to secretly buy Thai ore and hand it over to the Zerg.

"So be it, but don't expect me to intervene in the contest between you and the Merlin family, this trillion is the money you spent to buy resource stars from the Federation. Young people are always young and vigorous, how can the dispute between the two families be started so easily? Hello do it yourself. Andrea waved his hand to signal that Rhodes could go, and he didn't even bother to ask where Rhodes was located. But it doesn't matter if the federal government intervenes after the fact, and if Rhodes can't even settle this point, then there is no need to mess around.

As an important reserve resource of the country, Resource Star is the only commodity that the company needs to buy out from the government before development. However, once the government collects the money for the buyout, it will not collect taxes from the company in the future, except for setting a fixed price and quota for the government to recover.

However, one trillion to buy a resource star is probably the most expensive resource star in the history of the Federation, I believe Andrea also knows in his heart that although he said that he would not interfere in the battle between the Volksburgers and the Merlin family, in fact, Andrea still owes Rhodes a favor, and this favor cannot be repaid with a fluttering word.
