The X test reflected the comprehensive control and potential of Ability X. Wang Zheng had experienced a roller-coaster of change. For Wang Zheng himself, this was the true change.
Wang Zheng had always known that he would definitely comprehend the Five Elements. He had the confidence, but he needed the opportunity, or a planet of the Five Elements. But he had not expected to comprehend two in one go on Aslan, and make his first cycle of the Five Elements. That feeling was indescribable.
Complementing and restraining each other, complementing each other and advancing. This was the true requirement of the Primordial Regression Technique. There was a world of difference between the growth of a single ability and one.
Although metal and earth were just beginning to be comprehended, and could not reach Earth-rank, and could not even be used for effective attacks in battle, but as supplements to the Five Elements, it was scary enough.
Wang Zheng's confidence in his chances of winning the championship this time had increased.
The data on the surface was actually useless. What was truly scary was the inside. This was not a small metamorphosis, but it had been completed inadvertently.
Speaking of which, other than that old hag Kashawen, his luck on Aslan had always been good.
Wang Zheng's luck was not bad, but Yan Xiaosu's situation was a little worse.
The ups and downs of life were nothing more than this. The route from Tita Star to Maklou was a huge gold mine. Mining had already been permitted, but there were no professional miners. The problem was that the requirements of the miners that could be contacted were ridiculously high.
There had been no news from Wang Zheng's side. Yan Xiaosu really had to come to Lya Sphinx to try his luck. At least with Laurel, the other party would give him some face.
Lya Sphinx's government's credibility was rated AA by the Milky Way Alliance. It had a natural attraction for businessmen, and the people who had arrived were all important.
At this time, Laurel and Jasper stood beside Yan Xiaosu, introducing the people who had come in in whispers. Their identities, backgrounds, and character analyses.
Yan Xiaosu smiled. Laurel had played her cards very well. This was also the first time Laurel had shown her true depth in front of him. Do not belittle the whispered introductions. Didn't it sound like the bosses of big companies? But if you listened carefully, you would realize that some details, some secrets, were not things that ordinary people could know or investigate.
The value of information was immeasurable. Talking with someone who understood their personality and talking with someone who knew nothing about them might result in two completely different outcomes.
Laurel was very meticulous. It did not matter if she could not see through Yan Xiaosu's trump card. She had already seen through his ambitions. It was just that her sharp senses told her that something was not right with this fatty. Although he had been able to turn the tide time and time again … the risk was too great. If he was not careful, he could lose everything in the past.
"That's Zou Lin, the actual controller of the New Time Shipping Group. As long as he says it, there won't be a problem. He's also our most suitable partner at the moment."
Laurel led everyone over. When she walked up to Zou Lin, she smiled warmly. "Uncle Zou."
"Oh, it's Laurel. I haven't seen you for a few days and you've become even more beautiful. And these are …" Zou Lin smiled, his gaze falling on Yan Xiaosu.
"Uncle Zou, let me introduce you. This is Yan Xiaosu, the chairman of the Titan Business Group. This is Jasper from the Tadinger Group. This is Gabre from the Maacah Republic's CK Group."
"Keke, heroes come from the young. Laurel, how's your father's health?"
"Thanks to you, Father's condition is much better. He just needs to rest."
"Mm, I've been too busy. Please send my regards to him."
"Uncle Zou, we wouldn't have come without a reason this time …"
Zou Lin raised a hand to interrupt Laurel's opening. "No rush. Let's get something to drink over there first."
Clearly, he wanted to hold the initiative. Negotiations were often a test of patience. He was in the shipping business, and knew what the other party wanted when he heard of the Titan Group.
Yan Xiaosu smiled and nodded. The fatty had already grasped the essence of posturing. It was to wear a smile on his face and look a little cocky.
After sitting down, Zou Lin spoke slowly. "You came to me because of the new mining corridor route from Titatitan Star to Maklou, right? Keke, Laurel, did you know? You've made the biggest mistake. You've crossed the line. The biggest problem with this route isn't the various customs procedures and connections, but that you've offended people. That's why whoever takes over this project has to demand sufficient profits. Are you willing to let it go? "
At this point, Zou Lin paused slightly. The smile on his face had a powerful persuasive effect.
Every financial group's ruler was not a pushover. Zou Lin had his own unique charm and oppressive power.
Yan Xiaosu only smiled, but did not reply.
"Uncle Zou, we've invested a lot in this route. If we don't have the leadership, we'll lose a lot," Laurel said.
Zou Lin nodded in satisfaction. "This is business. I don't know about those small shipping companies, but we have to have a certain amount of rights to operate our shipping routes. At the very least, this number is usually exclusive for the first thirty years. After thirty years, we can keep a third of the rights. But from what I can see from your preparations, it seems like the ratio is very unreasonable."
Jasper hurriedly explained, "This route is very special. It's a joint corridor for super rare minerals. Even if the ratio is a little smaller, the profits are very generous, and it can guarantee stability."
The attraction of stable profits was very great.
Zou Lin was unmoved. "It's good that it's stable, but overall, the risks we're taking and the expected returns aren't equal. You're not in the industry, so I'm afraid you don't know that this new route has already affected the existing benefits of several other routes. The risks are very high."
Yan Xiaosu smiled slightly. "Mr. Zou, why don't you tell us your conditions first."
"Hehe, we are all straightforward people. Half of the shares within 50 years, no lower. Otherwise, even I wouldn't be able to explain it to the board of directors." Zou Lin stretched out five fingers. This meant that he wanted half of the shares, and there was no room for negotiation.
Jasper looked at Laurel, who shook her head. She had expected Zou Lin to ask for more, but she had not expected him to ask for half!
Yan Xiaosu smiled. "Mr. Zou's conditions, we'll seriously study them."
Asking for half, and with a time limit of 50 years. There was no way they could come to an agreement.
They could only place their hopes on the other companies.
Zou Lin smiled. "My conditions are already the most favorable. Right, I forgot to ask. Did your Tita Business Organization have any misunderstandings with Margate Interstellar Airlines? They've already offered a price. 80% of the shares for 50 years. "
Zou Lin had said so much, but the most important piece of information was this last sentence. This time, it was not that he had asked for a lion's share, but that the other company had asked first. If he did not play by the rules, how could he continue to play in this circle? Although the competition in this circle was fierce, things like price wars could be avoided if possible. Both sides would suffer, and it would only benefit the already lagging third party. For him to ask for half was already giving them a lot of face.
Margate Interstellar Airlines?
They had been an investor in the space project, but because they had wanted control of the space project, they had gradually been ostracized.
After that, there had been no news. Who would have thought that at this time, the other party would suddenly make things difficult?
But thinking about it, it was normal. Such a big company would not easily swallow their pride. They had just been looking for an opportunity.
"Keke, Old Zou, I've been looking for you. What are you doing here?"
Just at this time, a slightly plump fatty walked over.
"Haha, Fuller, you're looking for me. Nothing good. Come, come, let's talk over there." Zou Lin smiled and walked over. He had no intention of introducing the fatty.
But Fuller was clearly not really looking for Zou Lin. He looked at Yan Xiaosu. "Keke, let me introduce myself. I'm Fuller from Margate Interstellar Airlines. This must be Yan Xiaosu. It's good to be young. It's so easy, and you've found a new route. Right, I heard you ran into some trouble. Do you need our help? After all, we've worked together before. "
Fowle's smile was kind, as if he really cared about someone.
"Do I know you that well? Get your big face away."
Yan Xiaosu said mildly. He knew very well what the other party's situation was. There was no need to waste time. This was not a cooperation at all, but a chance to reap the benefits.
He had not expected Yan Xiaosu to be so disrespectful. Fuller's expression was ugly as well. But he did not mind. The other's loss of composure meant that he had lost his confidence.
Luckily, the government meeting had officially begun. Everyone took their seats. The meeting's main content was the government's announcement of a new economic plan. They hoped to have better cooperation with the business community. At the same time, they announced the government's tenders, purchases, and investments.
The meeting was not very long, but every piece of information was very important. The business opportunities were great. Besides, with the double-A government's reputation, everyone was willing to take on such a guaranteed project.
But Yan Xiaosu and the rest were not thinking about this at all.
After the meeting ended, there was a banquet for the government. People from all walks of life, according to their industry, chatted in the banquet hall. The shipping industry was also a circle.
With Laurel's help, Yan Xiaosu had come into contact with the big shots of Lya Sphinx's shipping industry. But without exception, these old foxes were all fishing. They had already reached some sort of tacit agreement. This shipping route had become a hot potato. Whoever took it would have to be wary of others joining forces. Of course, the profits were another matter. And this profit was equivalent to the Tita Chamber of Commerce working hard for half a day to benefit others.
This was the world of capital. Perhaps KO Group had won a lot previously, but if they did not handle it well, they would lose everything this time.
Actually, Laurel felt that if they really wanted to talk, Yan Xiaosu would first have to lower his head. Lowering his head was a sign of his attitude. With an attitude, there might be a chance. Of course, at this stage, this project had already entered an industry of closed competition. They had thought too little. In business, knowing how to charge was nothing. One had to know when to stop.
Jasper and Gabre did not have much of their own opinions in this regard. This was a matter for Laurel and Yan Xiaosu to judge. But this time, the two had quarreled. Laurel felt that those who had nothing to lose were not afraid of those who wore shoes. But now that they had shoes, they had to be more stable.
