Volume 1 The Bastard of the Slum Chapter 55 Choking the Throat of Fate

"Zhao Jing and Earl Lin Wei are both one of the five speakers, it stands to reason that they don't have the courage to make a move against the earl, after all, the old earl's residual power still affects the planet. But there are no absolutes, the Lin family is currently the largest supplier of armor in the empire. On this planet, apart from those illegal black market drug smuggling, what is more profitable than the military industry? Therefore, the Zhao family dared to come to the Lin family! ”

What is the crime of the puffer? Guilty of guilt. This is one of the greatest proverbs of the Empire.

Lin Hai knew very well that when a mine was under absolute rule, this was the source of wealth and prestige. However, when a family does not have enough strength to protect a mine, not enough to deter Xiaoxiao, this mine will become the birthplace of disaster. It will become a holy place for countless greedy and bloody people to hunt and revel.

"Is it because of the lack of a family heir with enough ability and courage?" Lin Hai raised his head and muttered to himself.

Li An sighed, "When the old earl arrived with the agreement on the supply of armor from the imperial side, and established the first base on the riverside star, many people did not understand the decision of the imperial party at that time, and even thought that this was just a high-level of the imperial side, because of the relationship between life and death with the old earl, so he was given such a contract." Some people even said that this was taking the lives of the Imperial Pilot Corps to pay for the capital of the powerful! ”

"But in fact, the old earl, with the strength of our Wayne Company, gave those doubters a hard slap in the face. The people who were brought to Wayne by the old earl at that time were many leaders in the technical department of the Lily family, the great nobleman of the empire! These men swore to follow the old Earl to the death, participated in the opening era of the Riverside Star, and then established Wayne Industries. The first armor produced by Wayne Industries at that time was of such high quality that the other armor manufacturers of the Empire were inferior! Later, these corporate chaebols rushed to investigate, only to find that there were high-purity damping alloy raw materials in the mines of Riverside Star, and the mecha armor made of damping alloys like Guò had reached a very high level in terms of materials, so that the latest mecha of the current empire were also covered with armor produced by Wayne Company. ”

"When it was found out that the Riverside Star was rich in damping alloy raw materials, everyone understood that the old earl had the courage and wisdom to leave the lily nobility and fight for a family business on his own!"

"Damping alloys?" As a fanatic fan of mechas, how could Lin Hai not know about the damping alloy. This alloy is the material technology of the Great Eagle Empire, and it is one of the highest quality metals that can be produced for use in the military field.

However, although the production area of the damping alloy is in the territory of the Great Eagle Empire, the output that can be explored is pitiful. However, if it is used as the armor of the mecha, it can not only greatly reduce the weight of the mecha, but also improve the attack resistance and strength of the mecha to a considerable extent.

Whether it is covered with full damping and gold materials, as well as armor of the same level of materials, this is the boundary between the ninth-generation mecha of human society and the tenth-generation mecha.

The tenth-generation mecha has damping alloy-level armor, and the body strength can basically crush the ninth-generation mecha. Because of the higher tolerable strength, the 10th generation mech can perform exaggerated maneuvers, which is often completely unattainable by the 9th generation mech.

Therefore, the division of mecha in the human world, starting from the tenth level, has entered a leap.

It turned out that Lin Hai's grandfather, Count Lin Lei, who first came to the Riverside Star, had the qualifications to wrestle with the lily nobles, as well as the rapidly rising capital, and dared to love because he had obtained such a big gold mine as damping alloy production resources!

"However, I heard that the current Wayne Company, the damping alloy raw material mine that can be refined, has begun to run out! It is necessary to start through external channels to obtain raw materials to supply the needs of the emperor......" Ang Lee looked worried.

Lin Hai didn't speak, and after a while, he said, "...... Tennessee home. ”

***********

No matter how big a gold mine is, it is impossible not to run out of resources one day. Since Earl Lynley landed on Riverside, Wayne Industries has been one step ahead of the mines that made the damping alloy, but it took decades of mining to meet the Empire's armaments. It is the damping alloy ore of the riverside star, which has begun to deplete.

This mineral is like blood, and the Lin family is a giant. When a giant's ability to transfuse blood begins to weaken, it will inevitably weaken.

"The lack of raw materials has made Wayne Industries overstretched in terms of supplying a new batch of mecha to the empire." Li Anshen said solemnly, "So the emperor has a lot of criticism, and at the same time, under the pressure of the lily nobles, there are already signs of shaking and rebounding against the identity of Wayne Company's armor supplier." ”

Lin Hai and Li An came to a slope grass in Xingang District where they could see the opposite car repair shop and sat down. Li An took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Hai. Lin Hai took a bite and immediately choked violently. In Junk Star, cigarettes are a luxury, and the cost of buying cigarettes, even for the most inferior brands, consumes one-third of a person's wages. Lin Hai needed to keep money for his family and treat his mother's illness, and of course it was impossible to smoke such a luxury.

Seeing Lin Hai coughing violently, Li An held a cigarette at the corner of his mouth and couldn't help laughing. Sitting on the lawn, with his right hand on his arched right foot, he looked into the distance and said, "The problem of raw materials leads to the vacillation of the military is an external cause. Nei Yin is your father, Lin Wei, one of the five speakers of the planet and the current head of the family heir to the title, is not in good health, and gradually loses control over the family and Wayne Corporation. The heirs of the next generation have not been able to show their ability to inherit the family position. Even if there is a Lin Wei, but Lin Wei is an adopted daughter, it is impossible for her to be knighted. And only Lin Hao can justifiably obtain the right to inherit. Once the Count hands over the title to him, then your brother will be the new generation of Earl...... But that's exactly what the Zhao family wants to see! ”

Lin Hai frowned and motioned for him to continue.

On the one hand, its eldest son Zhao Yinlai approached Lin Wei, which was because she took a fancy to her important Cheng to the Lin family. Otherwise, do you think he pursued Lin Wei like that because he coveted her beauty? Oh, on the riverside star, a powerful figure like the Zhao family, the most important thing around him is those bewitching lovers! This is part of their plan, and the other part is Tong Guò's own relationship, which is trying to shake the position of the Lin family with the armor materials they manufacture. They only need to do these two things, and the rest, they just have to wait. ”

Li An pondered, inhaling deeply, as the secretary and housekeeper of Wayne's company, I am afraid that he has only one listener to these things that he has held in his heart in the past two years, "Just wait until your father is forced by the pressure of several brothers and elders to take the initiative to give up the title, and then wait until the moment of their victory!" ”

Lin Hai didn't expect that Li An, who was only in the secretarial department, would come to so many conclusions through his own eyes and words. From this point of view, Ang Lee's analysis and summary are actually very capable, but such a person, because of his low profile, was placed in the secretariat of Wayne Company, and no one noticed his talent.

What Li An wanted to say next, Lin Hai had already helped him say, "No matter who my father Lin Wei passes the title to, whether it is Lin Hao, or Lin Ke, or Lin Delun, although they have titles, they simply don't have enough ability to hold the position of Speaker of the Planet." Therefore, our Lin family will be squeezed out of the planet council because of such a change. ”

"Zhao Jing, who has mastered the Planet Council, is also unlikely to see the Emperor's armor supplier, which falls on the Lin family's head. At that time, with the powerful position of his Speaker, it will be enough to seize our main business by all means. Become their Zhao family's private enjoyment! So they just have to wait quietly for the moment of our civil unrest. ”

Lin Hai smiled slightly, "Listening to you talk about the fall of my family business is really a strange and strange thing...... Do you want me to replace my brother as the heir to the title and become the new head of Wayne Industries? ”

After listening to Lin Hai's words, Li An looked at him in a daze for a long time, and finally held back a sentence in pain-

"Of course not!"

**********

Li An looked at Lin Hai with great regret, "I hope you can have such courage and qualifications." However, this is not possible...... You grew up in Junk Star, and you didn't even have an orthodox aristocratic education, let alone master a family, a family business! In all fairness, in this regard, even your brother, who is admitted to be unfavorable, may be doing better than you! ”

Lin Hai smiled bitterly for a while, "Anyway, I'm also your boss, so you don't give me face like this?" ”

Who knows that Li Ang does not observe words at all, but says with a "righteous" face, "People are self-aware, even if I compliment you now, but what the facts can't do, it's doomed to be impossible." On the map of the empire, there has never been a son of a nobleman who grew up on a garbage star who has held an important position and entrusted with important tasks. And as your illegitimate son, it is even more impossible to inherit the title! ”

"So I can only think about the things now. From the analysis just now, you can understand it...... Why would the Earl pick you up from Trash back to Riverside at this juncture...... Because obviously,

Since the Zhao family has such a plan, who is the heir to Lin Wei's title and what his ability is, will become the target of their focus. After all, they didn't want the heir of the Lin family to regain the qualifications to win the council. Your arrival can effectively help your younger brother Lin Hao, who may inherit the title in the future, to obtain considerable capital. ”

"Earl Lin Wei, he has realized that when he gives up the title, it is impossible for the Planet Council to let him continue to serve as the Speaker, so he can only fight for the layout before this, as long as Lin Hao can be made a member of the Planet Council when he passes the title to Lin Hao, then even in the face of Zhao Jing, who is trying to usurp the Lin family's family business, he will not dare to force his hand on a family that is both a nobleman and a councilor. All your father has to do is to keep the contract of the military and hold the resources of raw materials. In this way, there is still hope for the revitalization of the Xinglin family on the riverside! ”

"What could be more stable than your marriage to the Tennessee family?"

Li An is very smart, for Lin Hai, who has just arrived at Riverside Star, having Li Ang as his secretary is enough to help him clear the fog in front of him and see the situation of Riverside Star clearly.

Think of the little dress at the Columbia Day banquet, the quiet and tranquil girl.

Lin Hai was a little self-ironic and self-deprecating, "If you were Tennessee, would you marry your beautiful daughter to an illegitimate son of an earl who has no status and can't see any future?" ”

Li An clenched his fist fiercely, "That's why I have to fight, that's why I have to work hard!" The end of next month is the end of the year, and at the annual meeting, Tian Xiaotian will be won! It is the hope of the Lin family and Wayne Industries! ”

The corners of Lin Hai's mouth were a little bitter, and he didn't expect that the whole point of his coming to Riverside Star was to marry the Tennessee family and keep the last front of the Lin family. And Tian Xiaotian, a girl, turned out to be the key figure in their family and choked his Lin Hai's fate.

Is this what it feels like to be helpless in life?

Lin Hai's eyes suddenly became a little bright and clear, he looked at Li An, and said with a smile, "Do you really think...... Isn't it possible for me to inherit the title? ”

For a moment, Ang Lee was very serious for a moment. In the end, he looked at Lin Hai from top to bottom, and finally smiled bitterly, "Boss...... Let's stop making this kind of tasteless joke, okay...... The point is not to be funny! ”

For a moment, Lin Hai felt the urge to simply kick this guy down the slope.
