In Lya Sphinx, not everyone was optimistic about Jasper and Laurel's recent actions in establishing the Titan Business Organization. It was especially so for some of the core members of the Crown Business Club. They were very unhappy with Laurel.
Although the Crown Business Club wasn't a business organization, it still had certain functions of a business organization. It gave everyone a business opportunity platform. Moreover, in Lya Sphinx, it had gathered resources to form a political influence. In Lya Sphinx, it was known as a "small council" in private. Everyone didn't have any affiliation and did things with propriety. Laurel had been overly supportive of Jasper as her "boyfriend" recently and was a little lascivious. Now that she had promoted a project of the Solar System to such a high level, there were still some internal differences. However, they still had to give Laurel some face. At the moment, there was no need to fall out over such a small matter. Even those who wanted to replace Laurel couldn't do so before the project collapsed.
TitaTitan Star was a good place to invest. However, not everyone, especially those in the entertainment and service industries, wouldn't be able to find a foothold in the market there.
"I heard that even the hover cars don't work there."
"That's right. The energy is limited. I heard that the main mode of transportation is actually the ancient railway train. Are you kidding me?"
"With such planetary conditions, wouldn't it be better to just be a mining planet? Those Tita people could sell the mines to Aslan or Arbiter. Wouldn't it be fine if they went to another planet and bought a piece of land for immigration? It would also save them the trouble of war. "
"With Aslan's generosity, it's even possible to exchange for a small planet. Moreover, they could still establish a country, enter the Milky Way Alliance, and even become allies with Aslan."
It was easy to talk. It sounded great. However, which child would complain that their mother wasn't good enough? Who would abandon their biological mother and throw themselves into the arms of their stepmother? However, no one would care about the words that were motivated by benefits. As long as it was self-beneficial, they would applaud it.
As for those that were disadvantageous to them, even if it wasn't disadvantageous to them, they would still blame others.
At the same time, Laurel was in the middle of an afternoon tea event.
In name, it was an afternoon tea event. However, it was actually an important event. The attendees were all high-ranking officials and nobles.
"Laurel, are you sure you won't come to the hunting event tomorrow?" Arahan savored the sparkling and translucent teacup in his hand. He raised his head and glanced at Laurel. He knew why she had come, but unfortunately, he had no feelings for the Tita Chamber of Commerce.
Laurel smiled and looked at Arahan's grayish-brown hair, which was one of the symbols of the Burlet family. "I have some friends to entertain tomorrow."
"That's a pity. But what kind of friend?" Arahan smiled. The reason why he wasn't interested in the Titan Chamber of Commerce was that he felt that Laurel had gone overboard this time.
From his point of view, the business opportunities of Titatitan Star were indeed not bad. However, if he was Laurel, he would definitely not put in so much effort to do it. The key problem was that they were not the ones in charge. With their position in the Milky Way Alliance, what right did they have to suck up to the little bastards of the Solar System? This was not a matter of money, but a matter of face. Laurel used to be a very sensible woman. Why had her IQ dropped so much after falling in love?
Many people in the circle were waiting to see Laurel make a fool of herself. It was especially so for some of her pursuers in the past. They had seen Laurel and Jasper getting close to each other. Although there had been no concrete news till now, there had been many witnesses of the two of them interacting intimately.
Moreover, from the looks of things now, although the Tita Chamber of Commerce was developing well, it was a far cry from Laurel's current efforts.
"The other upper echelons of the Tita Chamber of Commerce. Arahan, as a friend of many years, I will say something from the bottom of my heart. You should really participate. This is an opportunity," said Laurel.
The Burlet family behind Arahan was a big family with deep roots in Lya Sphinx. Letting Arahan in was mainly to strengthen their relationship.
"I'm sorry. I'm already too busy with the projects on hand." Arahan shrugged his shoulders. He was still not interested. Even if he was interested, he did not intend to enter through the cooperation model of the Tita Chamber of Commerce.
"Today's black tea is not bad. Arahan, there will be a meeting in a while. If you have the time, you can come and take a look. Just treat it as helping me be a strategist." Laurel smiled as she raised her teacup. This was her last chance. It was fine if Arahan did not have good taste. The Burlet family behind him was a force worth roping in. Moreover, Arahan had helped her in the past. It would be a pity if he missed this great opportunity because of his pride.
Arahan smiled and took a sip of the black tea. He felt that it was hard to reject such great hospitality. Only then did he say mildly, "Alright."
Arahan had liked Laurel before. However, it was a fleeting feeling. It was like watching a movie and liking the female lead. However, after a while, he would like the female lead in another movie even more.
However, for a man, such a friend was a little special after liking someone. He always hoped that she could live a better life. He might not help, but he would not mind giving her a reminder.
However, what Arahan did not expect was that the time of the meeting would actually be 11 o 'clock at night.
After waiting for so long, he was obviously unhappy. He knew that this was to accommodate the time of the other people in the meeting. It was late at night here, while it was daytime over there.
This was a very common thing in cross-galaxy business cooperation. However, why should one side cooperate with the other side? Laurel had placed her position too weak, too low.
In a discussion, it was common practice for the weaker side to cooperate with the stronger side. However, was the Solar System strong?
The opening did not feel good. However, since he was here, Arahan wanted to watch the show.
"So generous. There are less than 100 bottles of this wine in the entire Milky Way. It's a pity that I wasn't around at the previous auction."
Some good things could not be enjoyed with power and money. At their level, these were the only things that mattered. Things that were too easily obtained, no matter how good they were, would only be popular for a minute.
Laurel smiled faintly. "I bought it as an investment."
"Be careful not to lose your capital." Arahan chuckled. His words had a double meaning. Clearly, he would not be convinced by a bottle of wine.
When it was almost 11 o 'clock, Jasper hurried over. Lena was in charge of the front, while he was in charge of the back. These few days, he had been insanely busy. Seeing that Arahan was present, his eyes lit up and he went up to greet him warmly.
"Keke, Jasper, I'll be embarrassed if you're so enthusiastic. I just happened to pass by today and came to join in the fun."
Join in the fun?
Jasper smiled. He was not familiar with Arahan. He had only heard Laurel mention him a few times. He had chased after her before, but his character was not bad. He was also one of the representatives of the Burlet family. He was a very worthy target to rope in. "In that case, I welcome you even more. I hope you will give me your opinions."
At 11 o 'clock sharp, the meeting officially began.
Yan Xiaosu was the first to connect remotely. He was all smiles. This was Tyrant Su's signature smile.
"Let me introduce you. This is Mr Yan Xiaosu, the person in charge of the Solar System's side. He is also the president of the business association. This is Arahan Burlet, my friend." Laurel gave a simple introduction. Today's meeting was a group meeting, and there was no actual work to be discussed.
Looking at Yan Xiaosu, Arahan was a little dazzled. This guy had a sly smile on his face … Was he trying to act cool? He was no different from a shop owner who ran a small shop by the roadside.
Although the Solar System was a little weaker, they should not be at this level, right? Arahan regretted staying behind just for a bottle of wine.
Just to watch this guy's silly smile? He might as well go diving at the beach to see jellyfish.
Following Yan Xiaosu's connection, the important people of all levels in the Solar System branch also connected. They sat in front of the conference table in virtual reality. At this moment, Yan Xiaosu was no longer immersed in his own happiness. But to Arahan, that was the first impression, and it was hard to see anything else.
"Laurel, I'm still a little …"
Arahan stood up and was about to leave. He had wasted too much time. These people from the Solar System had some aura, but the problem was that the president was Yan Xiaosu. When Laurel introduced them to him, he had nothing else to say. If the upper beam was not straight, the lower beam would be crooked. If the soldier was weak, the general would be weak.
But at this moment, there was a flash of light. Another person connected to the conference table. This time, the seat was closer to the front. This meant that he was not from the Solar System's side. Arahan, who was speaking, subconsciously glanced over. After which, he did not continue speaking.
Because he saw a familiar figure. It was Ai Xiaolu, who should not be here.
Hail Cloud Alliance's heavenly daughter, a business miracle. Even he had to look up to her. Arahan kept his arrogance.
She had actually joined this Titan Business Association? And she was not the leader?
Could it be that even someone as smart as Ai Xiaolu had fallen for it? Obviously, it was not possible. This was the Hail Cloud Alliance's financial demon girl!
In an instant, Arahan did not want to leave again.
After which, he saw Ai Xiaolu nodding to Yan Xiaosu. This small action showed that the two of them were very familiar with each other.
On the Hail Cloud Alliance's side, the important people were all connected. After which, it was the kid from the Caragal Republic.
Only the last seat was left.
At this moment, there was a flash of light.
A petite and exquisite young girl sat on the seat. The figure of the Gemini Star was still relatively easy to recognize.
Arahan's eyes rolled quickly again. Others might think that this young girl was very lolita and cute, and would praise the Gemini Star for being blessed by the heavens. However, Arahan had followed his father to visit the current Chairman of the Milky Way Alliance …
At that time, this young girl was sitting in the garden reading a book. His father knew of his flirtatious personality and specially warned him. This girl was called Luo Er, the precious daughter of the Chairman. She was also his reverse scale. Whoever touched her would die.
At this moment, he heard Laurel introducing Luo Er. "This is Miss Luo Er. She is also the chief consultant of our Business Association …"
What kind of Business Association was this?
This seemed to be the first meeting. It was a meeting of the major shareholders of the Titan Business Association. There was no specific content, but it was obvious that the participants were very satisfied. It was even a little beyond imagination, especially the participants from Mars and the Moon. Originally, they were a little conceited. After the big shots appeared one after another, they knew that it was time to correct their attitude and position.
And Arahan's heart was itching. It was not important whether this matter was profitable or not. What was important was to leave a good impression on Luo Er!
