In the quaint hall with gray tones, a large jade stone table was placed, and twelve tall and ornate seats comparable to thrones were placed at equal distances around the jade table, and only four seats were vacant.

"So, that's how you settled the matter?"

The silver-haired man kneaded the huge pigeon blood gemstone ring on his left index finger, the corners of his slightly wrinkled eyes constricted, and he looked around at the people in gray robes present. The hair that was deliberately combed was like a restless silver flame, as if to indicate that the owner's mood would not be too good.

Seeing that no one responded, he took a deep breath and said:

"You all know what the original 2,000 'lambs' were destined for, but now, they are gone."

"Benjamin is my dog, and no matter what bad things he does behind my back, he is my dog after all, and all his property belongs to me, even his life!"

"And now? My dog for more than ten years was killed, and the bones he hid were taken away, and some of them were taken out to give you a small profit, can I buy you all? And what about my loss! ”

"Do you know the value of a new drug? Do you know how much it takes to complete a new drug? ”

His gem-ringed index finger tapped the table, his eyes glazed over, and his cheeks were darkened by slightly high cheekbones. ”

"Ender, it seems that your family's dog can only be blamed for the loss of your family, right? He messed with people he shouldn't have messed with, and besides, he had other things in mind. ”

Opposite the man named Ander sat a woman, with her long red hair scattered over her gray robe, holding a small delicate feather fan in her hand, her face half-hidden, and her words revealed some sarcasm.

"That's right, if the dog doesn't tie the chain, do you want to blame the dog?"

A small-headed man next to him laughed and continued, but no one laughed out loud except him.

"Ender, you must know that the cooperation with the Doomsday Church itself is because Benjamin leaked too much information that should not be leaked, and in order to reduce the loss, we took advantage of the situation, and we didn't even pursue this matter."

A young man with curly blond hair explained in a flat tone.

"The Church of Doom has promised to give your family extras, Brother Ande, you don't have to hold on. Looking at the long term, although the two continents of the sun and the moon are relatively poor, they are also two large markets. There are only a few 'lambs', and the lack of agents will only be a little troublesome, as long as there is money, Arild's dog will have as many as he wants. ”

A middle-aged man sitting next to Ender turned around with a smile and persuaded him.

Ander would not be so easily dismissed by these perfunctory words, he was the one who really suffered from the loss, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he heard an old man at the end speak slowly:

"Ander, if you still refuse to accept this proposal, then I will transfer the overall 2% profit to you, if you still think that you are at a loss, you may as well ask Lord Alice for her evaluation, and see what the expected benefits of this cooperation are."

Everyone's eyes turned to the main seat of the round table, which was a chair slightly higher than the other positions, and a thick soft cushion was placed on it, so that the owner of the seat could sit higher and not be blocked by the stone table.

Alice, a lovely girl in her teens, had been idly looking at the ornate chandeliers above the hall and admiring the colorful murals that filled the hall while everyone was clamoring.

"Me?"

Hearing the mention of herself, she withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes, revealing a shallow smile, her pale golden pupils reflected in the beauty of her pure white eyelashes.

The long straight hair of pure white hangs down naturally, without a bit of variegation, clean and soft. Among the members of the round table, she was the only one who did not wear the ugly gray robe, but a pure white sundress, without too much decoration, only a simple lace painted on the hem of the skirt, but it was still very delicate when looked at, and there was no flaw in every detail.

The only thing that didn't quite match this plain white was the translucent diamond pendant that lay between the smooth collarbones, the diamond-encrusted base was a little thick, and it looked bulky on Alice's neck, which was not a suitable ornament for a little girl.

She blinked, her pretty pink face seemed to be thinking, her hands propped up on the edge of the wide cushion, and the high chair kept her bare feet from touching the ground, and could only swing leisurely.

"First of all, the Arild thing, I warned about the possible risks a month ago. As for Rizhou, after the Sun Yao family belongs to the Doomsday Church, if you want to earn income from Rizhou, you can only cooperate with them, and I am very optimistic about this market that will be stabilized. ”

"As for Yuezhou, the Moon Shadow is only dying slowly, and now there is a return of more than 58% on investment, and the only risk is that the Doomsday Church will not tear up the treaty, for which I estimate that there is a 27% possibility, and it is still necessary to make a more accurate calculation based on the follow-up sample data."

"But remember, the Pope Tungrez of the Doomsday Church is eighty-three years old, and their internal unity is maintained by his ability to brainwash in combination with doctrines, and if long-term cooperation is required, his longevity must be considered."

Low risk but extremely high returns, which can impress every capitalist who puts profit first.

Even if you suffer a huge end, you can't help but be moved. But what he lacks is not money, but how to get out of his bad breath.

"In that case, if you are in favor of further cooperation with the Doomsday Church, please show your respect."

The old man at the end shook the rattle in front of him, and except for Ander and Alice, the other five raised their hands in unison.

Before half of the majority, the old man spoke again: "If you oppose further cooperation, please show it." ”

Still, Ander and Alice didn't raise their hands.

Alice never takes the initiative in her opinion, and Ender, he is indeed not short of money and wants to be angry, but he ....... I won't get along with money.

The rattle rang again.

"As the rotating chairman of the Business Alliance, my opinion is that there are two votes in favor. More than half of the votes have been approved, and cooperation will be promoted in the future. ”

"Next agenda ......"

"Follow-up to several recent incidents in Dongzhou."

The old man, who is the rotating chairman of the Rim Sea Business Alliance, put down the rattle, and a virtual projection report appeared on the round table, and the whole picture of the positive direction can be seen from any direction around.

That's a brief description of the flowers:

"I met someone interesting, but I couldn't kill target two, and target number one couldn't be seen, and it took another price to continue the mission. The cooperation with Ying went well, everything went smoothly as predicted, but unfortunately she didn't die, and fortunately she didn't die, because I liked her eyes very much, and I hope to have the opportunity to collect her eyes. Finally, remember to settle the balance ,—— Artiste. ”

After reading the last sentence, the red-haired woman suddenly put away the feather folding fan, "He still has the face to pay for the final payment?" ”

"Mrs. Drake, the point shouldn't be this, what we should be thinking about now is, what to do next?" The Chairman kindly reminded.

"I'm completely out of interest in how much Su Honghai has confessed now, I just want him to die, with his baby daughter, no, no, no, I have to let him watch her baby daughter die slowly and carefully in front of him, money is not a problem, because of him, half of my business in Dongzhou has been shut down!"

The young man with curly blond hair changed his previous blandness, and there was fire in his eyes, and sure enough, the merchants only knew what anger was when they lost to themselves.

Seeing this, Ander couldn't help but seize the opportunity to fight back: "Edward, he was your father's agent back then, and now that's how he reports to us?" Your Xiasha family's eyes stink. ”

"If you want me to say, doesn't there be someone in Dongzhou who wants to cooperate with us? You all dare to cooperate deeply with the Doomsday Church, I think it is better to bring the other party in, anyway, the Doomsday Church has just sent a shadow over, isn't this just right? Let her kill Su Honghai's family, which can be regarded as the sincerity of cooperation. ”

Edward's gaze met him, and he replied coldly, "These are two things. ”

"Hahahaha, I agree, I like to watch this dog-eat-dog." The inch-headed man laughed again.

"Shut up Frank, don't let out your weird smile anymore, it's annoying to hear, can you be more elegant?" Mrs. Drake glanced at the inch-headed man, and then said: "That person from Dongzhou was the cause of this incident, he didn't deliberately send people to us, how could we be implicated by him?" As a result, I, who only do serious business in Dongzhou, have seen a sharp decline in profits recently. ”

"So what? According to what you just said, for the sake of the new market and possible future profits, we can tolerate temporary losses, then I think this is a good opportunity, an opportunity to redivide the Dongzhou market, are you willing to watch our second largest market close its doors to us? ”

"If you can reopen the market in Dongzhou because of this, or even go further, then I propose that you stop holding Edward and his family accountable."

Ender stared at Edward and Lady Drake as he said this, and he only slightly modified what the other had said. Just as Arild is his main business area, Dongzhou is also a vital business area for Edward's family.

Edward avoided his gaze, he couldn't accept the decision to redivide the market, but if Su Honghai's matter was to be held responsible, their Xia Sha family would indeed be responsible. Mrs. Drake, on the other hand, shook her feather fan lightly, as if she had some emotion, but did not speak.

Seeing that they didn't dare to respond positively, Ander turned to the middle-aged man beside him and asked, "What do you say?" Good old guy Tony. ”

"Hehe, what can I say, anyone wants to do a profitable business, but ...... The risk ...... It doesn't seem to be easy to estimate, Dongzhou is too closed, and their countermeasures are not so simple, I still want to sleep more at night to sleep peacefully. ”

The middle-aged man named Tony still smirked, and his words did not approve of the plan.

"After all, who is that person from Dongzhou? What was he trying to bring to us? Aren't you curious? Mrs. Drake said softly.

Once again, all eyes were on Alice on the main seat.

Ever since she saw Artiste's reply, Alice had been quietly listening to the noise of the crowd, smiling at the amusement of the crowd. The information sent back from Dongzhou, she saw it one step earlier than these people, and it was more detailed and specific, and she had already calculated the conclusion in her heart.

"The one in Dongzhou who secretly sent us a request for cooperation? It can be determined that it is one of the three cabinet members of Dongzhou, probably secretly plotting to fight for the position of chief consul of Dongzhou. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was much quieter, the chief consul of Dongzhou is the highest leadership position in Dongzhou, and in order to better manage the entire country, three cabinet political staff officers have been set up, in charge of many matters in the three major fields of administration, military, and law, and he is a veritable second-in-command. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in Dongzhou that each chief consul will be elected from the three political participations.

"It's a big investment, I like it." The inch-headed Frank smiled, looking silly, but the next words were a little surprising, "I have a hunch that I can fight again, so that my pile of arms can be cleared, I like to watch them fight, I like to make war money, needless to say, I definitely support it!" ”

Others don't think so, the Frank family's Black Fire Company is the largest arms dealer in the world, and they naturally expect the world to be as chaotic as possible, but the business of others present may not like war. For example, many luxury brands run by Mrs. Drake's family can't afford to be tossed around.

"Then what is this Dongzhou political officer thinking? He wanted to cooperate with us, but it caused our business in Dongzhou to be ruined, this is not a sincere approach, what did he send someone to bring in the first place? ”

Once again, Mrs. Drake asked another question, and everyone was expecting Alice's answer.

"There is a secret hidden under the red capital of Dongzhou, and if this secret is known to the outside world, it may destabilize the rule of the current chief consul, and I can only speculate that it has something to do with the policy of the current chief when he took office. But what exactly is hidden in it, you still need supplementary materials. ”

"Bell bell bell ......"

The last chairman of the business alliance rang the rattle as soon as Alice finished speaking, and said: "The time is almost up, please enter the next round of voting as soon as possible......

"Old Anthony, what are you anxious about? The Tomare family didn't say anything. ”

Ender's hand pointed to the dark-haired man who had not spoken, Gordon Tomare, who was sitting next to Alice.

Gordon smiled slightly and replied, "Our Tomare family fully trusts all the decisions made by Lord Alice, Lord Alice, what do you think?" ”

Alice's silver voice rang out: "For this new collaboration, I think the reliability is only 48%, and the return rate is only -25% to 209%, the volatility is too huge, I am not optimistic." ”

"Then let's vote." The old man at the end presided over again.

Except for Alice and Anthony Sr., the six people present voted 4-2, and only Gordon and Edward chose against. Even if it's less than half as reliable, the staggering 209% rate of return has left businessmen with a clear bias in their minds.

After thinking about it, Anthony Sr. finally chose to oppose it, he represented two votes alone, but it was still a tie.

But at this time, all the four seats that had been vacated lit up, and they were the remaining four members who were unable to show up for today.

"Tulip Family,"

"Modern Family,"

"House of Sisliya,"

"The Higgins family,"

"Agree!"

The four projected family representatives agreed that although they did not attend the meeting, the relevant meeting images would still be shared with them in real time, and they had the right to express their opinions at any time.

The old man had no choice but to announce that he would continue to promote the "new cooperation" in Zhongzhou.

On the next topic, everyone unanimously hopes to take unlimited revenge on the betrayer Su family, regardless of losses.

But when it came time to consult Alice regularly, her answer immediately poured a bucket of cold water on them: "Su Honghai's father and daughter have accepted the protection of the Dongzhou official, if extreme measures are used to retaliate, especially further revenge against Su Yue, there is a 67% probability that the subsequent butterfly effect will trigger the Fifth World War." ”

The hall was silent again, and the situation of the same hatred and hatred finally appeared seemed to be a little shaken.

After a moment, Edward replied coldly, "Lord Alice, I don't know what kind of magic Su Yue has that can make you be highly wary of her from the beginning. But sometimes the face of the secret council cannot be measured by mere numbers. In addition to extreme measures, there are many 'gentle' ways to retaliate. At least, Su Honghai must die. ”

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."
