It's the end of July, and although it's still a holiday, Hehia feels like she won't be at home for long.

The situation of Siye Jing has not eased down, but because of the revelation of some scars, the hidden grievances from all walks of life began to erupt, high-level accusations between each other, layoffs and closures of some enterprises, which also led to many people dissatisfied and marched, and news about this kind in the news broke out frequently.

At home during this time, in addition to paying attention to the news and listening to the news from Eddes Academy, Hehia is also thinking about how this war will end in the end.

If you look at it from a standpoint,She is undoubtedly close to Edest's side,Hope that the overall environment of Siye Jing will make a huge change,But now she won't be naïve to think that the group forces on the side of Edus School Park are all flawless saints,Many of them are just gathered together for interests,And some of her thoughts and hopes,Maybe in the eyes of these group companies,It's just childlike naïve ideas。

Speaking of which, I really like to struggle with this kind of thing.

The girl sat on the sofa and stroked the bare cotton birds in her arms, which were now about the size of a normal hen, with snow-white feathers, but with light gray and blue parts on the tail feathers and the edges of the wings.

A little irritated, as if she were standing on a long-distance ship that sailed in the same direction as hers, but which she did not grasp in some details, and some of the islands she wished to dock would not visit.

Carefully combing the fluffy feathers of the bare cotton bird, the girl was in a daze, letting her thoughts sink in her mind.

Sure enough, humans are difficult animals to get along with. He lifted the sleeping bird on his lap, rubbed its head gently, and then tossed it up, and watched the little creature chirp in the air, then circled and fell down softly, lying on Heshia's head, ready to go back to sleep.

Watching his companion land on Hesia's head, several other bare-cotton birds crouching in the corner of the couch also flew up, as if they wanted to try it too.

"You don't want to make an inch, it's hard to educate the big spider, and now you like to do it too, right?" Heshia raised her hands and caught the bare cotton bird on her head, although these guys looked not small, but they were actually extremely light, like a ball of cotton, and could even hover in the air, which many birds could not do.

"Chirp-"

After being caught by Hesia, the bare-cotton bird, which was only a little fat, still wanted to struggle, but was firmly grasped by Heshea's wings and could only flutter ineffectively.

Maybe Heshia is still thinking about some details and distant things in the future, such as how to arrange the recovery of the four-leaf crystal star field after Edus's victory, and how to avoid the recurrence of past tragedies, etc., but now the school is not as confident as Heshia, because under the tough blow of Saint Ingo, some companies and groups that follow have begun to waver and retreat.

As said at the internal meeting of St. Ingo, even if it is more in the long-term interests of these companies to follow Edest, but now that the situation is critical, if they continue to fight against St. Ingo, they will suffer huge losses and even risk bankruptcy.

Two days later, in the morning, Hesia woke up to the ringing of the personal terminal, followed by Anneli's slightly anxious voice.

"Sister Hehia, something has happened lately......"

After 20 minutes of narration, Heshia slowly woke up from her sleep.

"Well, I see, I'll be back to school at noon in a minute, and inform the members of the student council so that they can return to school as soon as possible."

It seems that this holiday really can't go on, after getting up, Heshea stepped on the floor barefoot, and then went straight to the bathroom at home, ready to take a shower, and then changed her clothes and set off.

Two hours later, a military aircraft landed at the airfield on the surface of Arpeggio City, and then spewed out a blue swirl of air, slowly rising.

Sitting by the window on the side of the cabin, Heshea looked at the earth and the huge square well of Arpeggio City that was fading away below, and knew that she might not be able to go back here for a while.

As the news said, the war has begun, both sides will not back down, the influence accumulated over the years, contacts, resources, are now put on the table by both sides, any exit behavior, will only lead to the front of the pay completely sink, and the contradiction between the two sides does not have any win-win possibility, destined to only one side to defeat the other.

I still think too perfectly, but in reality, I can't take care of so much, probably only if I win first, can I have room to improve the rest of the things.

The fingers tied the hair at the back of the head, the white ribbon with the bow of the blue rose was buttoned on the collar and chest, setting off the girl's not very rich breasts, and then the black corset that was cinched, and the blue and black dresses, today's Heshia was dressed a little more formally, with a solemnity different from the past.

The speed of the aircraft became faster and faster, heading straight for the south, entering the sea after half an hour, and gradually approaching the location of the South 1 area after another hour.

Through the thick dark clouds, the raindrops hit the wings and smashed the mist, and then with a violent roar, the aircraft slowly landed in the South 1st Zone.

The toes of her leather shoes rested on the rain-soaked ground, and Heshea tilted her head slightly to look at the gap between the dark clouds overhead, and there was a glimmer of light seeping out of it, illuminating the not-so-bright world.

Not far ahead of her, Anneli was standing outside the airport runway with an umbrella behind her, with three parked hovercars behind her, as well as several security guards from Eddes Academy.

After following Annelli into the car, the hovercar rises, and then heads in the direction of Edmus Academy, and the rain keeps sliding down outside the window, so that the inside can't see the outside world clearly.

"How's it going?" Hehia asked about what Annellie had said on the phone.

"Imi's condition is fine at the moment, and his family sent her to school in time." Annelli passed the information to the record board in front of Hesia, and then listed it in detail.

'Imi: The second daughter of Revens, the chairman of the company, and the third heir to the company, there is an older brother who is the only child of Ravens. ’

The company's business is mainly engaged in the production of water purification plants, with a market share of about 22%, and in the same industry and competitors are the company 'Cocedes', which has a market share of about 25%, and the company 'Limestone', a subsidiary of the 'Universal' group, which has a market share of about 41%. ’

"In the past decade, because of the chaebol backed by the 'universal' group, the 'grayshanyan' company has sufficient funds and resources, and has suppressed the two companies 'Ichel' and 'Cocydes' and seized a lot of their markets, which has caused the profits and revenues of the two companies to decline significantly."

"In order to fight against the 'Gray Mountain Rock' supported by the 'universal' group,The two companies are gradually moving closer to Edest,In order to hope that through the school park as a link,Let the two companies enter the group of the camp behind the Eddes school park,For this reason,As the second daughter of the chairman, Imi and the'Cocedes' heir Cayo,Enrolled together,And under the supervision of the two parents,The two have been engaged at the beginning of the year,It is expected that they will officially get married after graduation。

"Originally, everything was normal,After the two enrolled,,The two companies gradually gained the support of the camp group to which Eddes School Park belonged,Although it can't overtake'Gray Mountain Rock',But at least it can gradually stabilize its market share,No longer decline,And during the school,The relationship between the two is still good,Occasionally, classmates see the scene of the two dating,Although it is a political marriage,But it is also a happier couple。 Annelli had headphones in her ear, and said with some envy, although she is also the eldest lady born in a wealthy family, but in terms of marriage, she is not so free, unless she is an only daughter like Delores, who is destined to inherit the family business, as long as Deloris wants to, she can marry anyone.

"If everything had gone right, they would probably have gotten married in two years, but this time the feud between Edes and St. Ingo has affected a lot of businesses." Annelli's voice was slightly stunned.

"Because of the olive branch thrown by Santa Ingo, the people in power on the side of 'Corcedes' could not withstand this temptation, or could not see the hope of Edest's victory in the future, so last week, 'Corsedes' decided to withdraw from Edest's alliance, which also means the rupture of their future marriage."

"The matter can still end here, but the 'Corsedes' side may be for the sake of his own sake, for the sake of future interests and foothold, etc., Cailliaud, as the heir of 'Corsides', deceived Imi and coaxed her into obtaining the patent information of the 'Ichelle' company, which is the core element of the 'Ichelle' business."

"If the patents of the two can be integrated, joint research and production, probably able to produce a competitive better than the'gray mountain rock' products, this was originally the plan of the two in the past, as long as the two married, this plan will be promoted, and then it will gradually cross-sharehold, if the children of the two are excellent, it may even directly merge the two companies into one."

"But there was no if, after the incident, Imi reacted and told her brother, who is now the first heir of the 'Ichelle' group."

"As an elder brother, he can't tolerate Cayo's deception of his sister, not to mention the patent information that is the core of the company, almost subconsciously, he led people to rush into the corporate headquarters of 'Cocedes', and argued with the other party to reprimand him." Annelie gradually got to the point.

"However, he did not see Cailliaud, who was entertained by the ruler of 'Cocedes', that is, Cailliaud's father, and after a moment of promise and apology from the old man, the two sides put aside their conflicts, had dinner together, and then left."

"Soon after returning home, Imi's brother felt a wave of discomfort, then quickly fell unconscious, and then died before he could be taken to the hospital, which is still irretrievable."

"After receiving the news of his son's death, Imi's father called the director of our school, and then sent the crying Imi back to school, and then the" Isera "officially declared a patent war on the" Corsides ", Imi's father raised a lot of money through the emergency transfer of shares, and now about 14 high-level firms have accepted the commission, and a large number of people have gathered in the "Isier" company, and at the same time, "Cosydes" has also declared martial law."

"Patent Wars......" Heshea sighed after listening to Annelli's narration, and then continued to look through the materials in her hand.

As a special term, the 'patent war' is the most direct and violent way of fighting between companies in the federation because of some irreconcilable contradiction, and it is not recognized in federal law, but no one will deny that this phenomenon happens.

Sound laws can resolve many contradictions, but for large corporations, the binding force of the law is not invincible, and if the case is clear, the Federal Supreme Court may be able to give a verdict, but when it is the kind of case that is difficult to explain and obscure, it is like falling into a bottomless quagmire, they have enough money to use up, they can hire lawyers and professional groups to conduct endless litigation and arguments, and if neither side backs down, it will drag the case for decades, or even a hundred years.

Such a long-term stalemate is unacceptable to some large enterprises, and since the law cannot be resolved, they can only resort to gray area means, which is the 'patent war'.

Once it comes to this point, the party that started the 'patent war' can be said to be registered on the list of the 'trial court' and will be investigated by the trial court soon after, but as long as the commission fee is paid, the members of those firms will not stop their actions, and they will use various methods to sabotage and interfere with the operation of the other party's enterprise, or obtain the core patent information of the other party, until the goal is achieved, or the target company goes bankrupt.

It can be said that most of the time, the 'patent war' is a lose-lose struggle, so no company will do it unless it is absolutely necessary, but if it is really successful, it is also an extremely lucrative way of fighting, and the winner is likely to seize the opponent's patent and be reborn later.

Recalling the description of the 'patent war', Heshea rubbed her brow, and the hovercar she was riding in slowly drove into the gate of Edmus Academy.

After entering the medical building of the school park, Heshea and Annelli came to one of the quiet recuperation rooms, at this time Imi was lying on the bed sleeping, her eyes were slightly red and swollen, it seemed that she had been crying for a long time, and the nurse on the side told the two that Imi had just fallen asleep.

After asking about the situation for a while, the two walked out and came to the corridor on the side, when the rain outside was a little lighter, but the sky was still very gloomy.

"What do the directors of the school park think?" Heshia asked.

"The directors discussed it for a long time and didn't make a decision for the time being, because this node is very delicate." Annelli explained.

"If Edes intervenes, then Santa Ingo will definitely intervene, which will lead to the continuous expansion of the patent war, and even the high-level leaders of the two parties will not be able to stop, such consequences are too dangerous, and it is estimated that Santa Ingo's side will hesitate."

"So it's better to wait and see what happens?" Heshia shook her head slightly, feeling that this was not a good choice.

"If Ichelle loses this patent war, the initiators will be vulnerable to strict treatment by the court, so not only will the patents not be recovered, but then the two patents will be held by Cosydes, and the 'universal' group, which already belongs to the St. Ingo camp, will be able to monopolize the industry."

The wet and cold wind blew the girl's black hair, and she looked at the rainy world outside, still slowly analyzing the possible results.

"The water purification industry is one of the key nodes in the environmental change of the four-leaf crystal star field, otherwise even if we win, we will have to rely on the enterprises under the 'Shengo' to produce such goods, which is simply not a victory."

"Besides, if even 'Isier' can't be saved, then it's hard to imagine what other groups of companies standing in Edus's camp will have, and they will probably be very disappointed."

Looking at Heshia standing in front of the window, Annellie felt that the dark-haired girl had become extraordinarily calm and rational today, and a chill that made her a little frightened slowly overflowed.

"President Hesia......" she whispered the other man's name.

"There's no way to leave it alone, so there's only one choice." Hehia tucked her hair back, then turned to look at Annelli, her black eyes like distant stars, hard to see.

"Prepare the hovercar, take me to the Corcedes, and put Kinsenke in touch with the right firm, I know he enjoys dealing with violent groups."

After speaking,She walked to the side of the corridor,And Annelli was a little hurried to follow,While trotting, he also held a personal terminal to contact personnel,And report to the school park。

A few minutes later, five hovercars passed through the gate of the campus, rising and rising, and then spewing a pale blue trail from their tails, speeding through the rain and rushing towards the gray world beyond.

Standing on the tall building in the center of the school park,An old man quietly looked at the hovering car that disappeared in the rain,The secretary next to him asked carefully。

"Director Hayden, are you really not going to stop Miss Hesia, if this time it triggers ......"

"Let her go, the child will grow up. She's the singer that countless people are looking forward to.,It's also the most powerful trump card in our school.,Maybe we've all forgotten.,The miracle that this girl brings,How amazing.。 ”

"Even if St. Inggo wants to use this to expand the war, then the patent war because of Hesia Tiran is far more powerful than the war because of 'Ichelle', she has more than just our hope, her mother, her past, but also the hope of the forces in the north, they will not give up on this girl."
