The emergence of Duke gave the Southern Cross Civilized Community a reasonable guess about the power suddenly possessed by mankind. Therefore, many forces gave up guessing about the origins of the Shinra Merchant Group and began to speculate on what the Shinra had gained.
Interested in 'super tech'.
Therefore, most of the negotiations that Duke participated in were related to these aspects. In fact, whether it was the Kroenke Empire or the Cross Star Merchant Alliance that hosted the negotiations, these technologies were what they were concerned about or coveted.
Of course, it was impossible for Duke to let go of these things. At the same time, he understood that his boss was not a timid person at all, so he said simply: "You don't seem to be negotiating sincerely. If you feel that you didn't fight the dog before, then we can
Fight again!"
This is acting rogue at the negotiation table. People originally wanted to negotiate because they did not want to fight. Of course, they will not really start a war now. Therefore, the Cross Star Merchant Alliance and Commander Kroenke felt that they had no way to start. This negotiation was not possible.
The method continued... But what made them relieved was that the Shinra Merchant Group did not ask for too much from them, so the two forces made concessions and an agreement was finally signed.
Come down.
The Kroenke Empire fleet will withdraw unconditionally, and within the next hundred years, the Shinra Merchant Group will not be allowed to levy any taxes when doing business in the Kroenke Empire... This condition was only added by Duke because he felt that it would not be too much of a loss. Of course, he also considered the current situation.
This is only possible due to the status of his own business group. Of course, for the Kroenke Empire, this condition should be the intention of the Shinra Business Group to make good friends with them. After all, if they are really hostile, how can they do business within their sphere of influence? As for tax exemption
On the other hand, there seems to be a lot of benefit here, but for the Kroenke Empire, this little tax is not worth it...
So the conditions here were negotiated, but it was the turn of the three leaders of the Cross Star Business Alliance to negotiate with Duke. These very smart businessmen were not as stupid as Commander Kroenke.
What Shinra gained here was just talking about some of the benefits that the Shinra Business Group could get from the Cross Star Merchant Alliance, and even invited Duke to become the fourth leader of the Cross Star Merchant Alliance.
Of course, Duke would not refuse the benefits that came to his door. After he had received all the benefits, he made a request: "Will the Shinra Business Group sell some technology?"
"We don't sell technology, but we do sell products." Duke answered simply, showing no signs of softening after reaping all the benefits.
The people of the Cross Star Merchant Alliance were not disappointed, because this was expected. But for them, as long as the Shinra Merchant Group can sell those high-tech products, they believe that they can naturally develop the finished products.
Imitation... isn't this tantamount to obtaining technology in disguise?
So at this moment, both parties reached a consensus with great satisfaction and showed sincere smiles...
…
"So what did you talk about with them?" Rong Xiang asked curiously.
"The Kroenke Empire has withdrawn its troops unconditionally and formed a trade partnership with us." Duke first talked about his response to the Kroenke Empire.
Rong Xiang could not deny this, but nodded slightly to show that he understood. He was not that concerned about doing business. He only cared about whether the Shinra Business Group could participate in the affairs of the civilized community here.
.
Duke also understood the temperament of his boss, so he quickly continued: "On the contrary, the Cross Star Merchant Alliance has given us a lot of convenience. Not only did they invite me to become the fourth leader, they also promised to provide us with a large amount of high-quality and cheap raw materials.
Channels, and at the same time, we can share sales channels and information, which is quite sincere.”
"This is a matter of course. After all, if the Merchant Alliance needs to use our force for something next time, they can speak out confidently, right?" Rong Xiang saw through this and didn't care, and then asked Duke:
"Then what business are you going to use these conveniences to sell?"
Duke said confidently: "Of course we are selling weapons and equipment! There will always be a buyer for these products here! But the only thing we need to worry about is how we protect the technology... After all, although the technology here is partial,
It’s serious and one or two generations behind the Empire of Stars, but it shouldn’t be difficult to copy it if you have a sample.”
Rong Xiang listened but still didn't care. He said: "Why do we need technical protection? There is no shield technology here or there is very little shield technology, so we can just sell energy shields. Because of the lack of technology accumulation, they
Even if they want to imitate it, it cannot be completed in a short time. Moreover, the key to precision weapon manufacturing is the core components, and the material formula of the core components cannot be easily cracked. Even if they succeed in imitation, I am afraid that the core components will
The performance will also be much worse.”
"But that will eventually divide our profits..." Duke couldn't help but say something again, but then he suddenly realized... He didn't need to talk about profits in front of Rong Xiang! For any human super
For a warrior, any currency other than zero prime is meaningless!
Rong Xiang smiled slightly and said: "Then we will make high-end products, which can just make our name as a Shinra business group. In addition, we can't be too gentle with the outside world... You can feel free to dispatch these people I brought this time.
Just like those normal business groups, when we see the interests, we just fight for them, and we try our best to create an image that we love the use of force."
"Boss, you deliberately created such an image, it seems a little too outrageous?" Duke directly expressed his opinion, obviously he did not agree with this.
"We just want to go out of our way, so that when the Infinite Legion appears, we can naturally show off our force and gain dominance... At that time, they will probably be eager to see us take the lead!" Rong Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said what he said.
He said: "I don't care about the life or death of these people, because most of the super soldiers here, including the Phoenix Wing Army, are just waste to me. After a big war, maybe they can
You can truly become my subordinate!"
Duke's heart trembled when he heard this. He was also a little afraid of Rong Xiang's slightly cold behavior. But besides this, he felt a sense of joy and comfort because Rong Xiang could treat him like this.
Clearly speaking, it shows that he is still different in his mind. Of course, Duke also understands that this is entirely because his young and scary boss is completely confident that he can handle all situations, which is why he can use this conspiracy.
So from this moment on, the Shinra Merchant Group entered a stage of unscrupulous external expansion...
