The suspense left by the Mayans had not been resolved. The Maacah Republic's Atom battle team had been defeated by the Earthworm Federation.
Maacah and Astina were the same. They were traditional strong countries, and their strength was similar. The Atom battle team even had two Earth-rank warriors. They might not be number one, but they were recognized as a battle team with the strength to fight for the top eight.
In the top 16, they were up against the Earthworm Federation's Devil Dragon battle team, whose strength was evaluated as "standard" and "ordinary". It could be said that they would definitely win this match.
The result, however, was a stunning "three to zero."
Moreover, the Earthworm Federation's Devil Dragon battle team's captain did not even participate!
Zhou Yun found Lear at the first instance. "There's a problem with the Earthworm Federation. It's very possible …"
Lear nodded slightly. He could see it too. "Investigate."
If it was an ordinary ancient martial artist, it would be fine. But if it was a competitor, then he would have to think about it carefully. It was just that he did not expect the Mayans to be so strong. The two of them obviously could not reach this level. But he knew the reason. It was because of the degree of energy transformation of their bodies. The energy transformation of these two guys was not as strong as the Child of Light battle team. For the Mayans, every 1% evolution of their bodies brought about different changes. It could be said that among the biological civilizations, the Mayans were most eager to become light and gods. Until now, they had not given up.
The battle was still ongoing. The level of SIG was obviously higher than IG. The degree of national involvement was much higher. Entering the main competition, some unexpected situations occurred frequently. No one was absolutely strong. On the other side of the route, Yan Xiaosu was much more relaxed.
Even though HU had only exerted a little strength, it was like a sudden clap of thunder. He had personally experienced the difference, the difference between the rich and the nouveau riche. It even made him recall that he was selling sanitary napkins. But this was a necessary step. Yan Xiaosu did not ask, but he knew in his heart that it was most likely related to Princess Aina. Otherwise, there was no need for HU at all. This was probably very responsible. Wang Zheng did not say, and he did not ask. He just had to do things well. He had to prepare a generous betrothal gift for Wang Zheng. His boss was marrying the princess, not marrying into the family.
KO Tita Chamber of Commerce and HU Shipping joined forces. Margate Interstellar Airlines was immediately dumbfounded.
Some were happy, while others were sad. Fuller, who was in charge of the project to seize the flight route, nearly cracked his head open. He still couldn't figure it out. Why did HU cooperate with the KO Tita Chamber of Commerce? There was no reason for that!
Moreover, this was Hu Shipping!
Looking at the terms, other than the cost of participating in the project and a portion of the benefits, HU actually had no control over it?
At most, it would be some superficial benefits? It was as if a ferocious tiger had become a vegetarian. Don't you think it's ridiculous? Did HU come here to do good?
Foyle spat.
In this day and age, how many people would offer timely help? Only the icing on the cake would be able to compete with each other.
It didn't matter if they couldn't figure it out. The shipping alliance that Margate Interstellar Airlines had spent a huge amount of money to maintain in the early days had been torn apart.
Fuller couldn't even open his mouth to stay. HU was already in such a state, what else could they do? Fight to the death with HU? He wasn't crazy yet.
In the shipping world, what kind of giant was HU Shipping, which had been established for over two hundred years? They had close ties with the Aslan royal family. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
No one could explain it clearly, which was why it was even more revered. It wasn't that there wasn't anyone in the industry who wasn't convinced. They relied on the backing of big shots and HU, but in the end?
HU was like the sun in the sky, and those opponents were short-lived. The most important thing was that this was business, and the weak were prey to the strong.
What made Foyle unable to swallow his anger was that he had seen with his own eyes those friends who had called him brothers just yesterday turn around and go to KO Group to submit their collaboration plans.
"Director Yan, the people from YUN Company are here …"
"Let them wait."
"Alright." The leader of the negotiation team smiled. He felt proud and elated. He had followed Director Yan to more than ten shipping companies. Some gave him face and even let him through the company's main door. Some were directly blocked by the security guards outside to bask in the sun.
Yan Xiaosu smiled. It really felt like whoever ignored him yesterday, he would make him feel like he couldn't reach up to him today.
Of course, the matter of collaboration still had to be discussed. Yan Xiaosu had a good grasp of the scale. These people were here for HU. At the same time, he also knew that borrowing HU's influence was like borrowing the wind. It had to be just right. If he borrowed a typhoon, it wouldn't be easy to clean up.
Although it was pretentious, the progress of the shipping route had not been completely smooth because of the cooperation of the shipping circle.
The Fairy Star Federation had taken the lead, and a few countries had also reached a collaboration agreement under HU's negotiations. But there were also a few countries who were still very unyielding, and had joined forces to form a five-nation group headed by the Helsen Federation and Duma Free Planet.
It wasn't that they didn't agree to the shipping route passing through, but that they wanted to obtain more benefits. They had also requested that the port be managed by their civil servants, and Yan Xiaosu and the rest would receive a share of the profits from the port every year.
Simply put, Yan Xiaosu and the rest just wanted to take some shares as a share.
This was obviously impossible. The port was the node of the shipping route. According to the Milky Way Alliance's customs, the ownership belonged to the sovereign of the shipping route, and its status was equivalent to an embassy. The difference was that it performed economic functions, and at the same time, paid taxes to the country where the star field was located.
The negotiations immediately reached a stalemate. HU had also sent a few negotiation teams, but they were really difficult to deal with. The disadvantage of a small country was that it was easy to be a frog in a well, but the advantage was that newborn calves were not afraid of tigers.
If the stalemate continued, HU would definitely make a big move.
But there were always surprises.
"CEO Yan! Maklou … "
"What's wrong with Maklou?"
"An official letter has been sent …"
Yan Xiaosu took the document from his secretary and scanned it. His expression suddenly became serious.
The Maklou visiting delegation, headed by Maklou's governor, Mr. Mobo, was going to visit the countries on the shipping route …
This time was very sensitive. They were going to visit, but KO's side had yet to settle the preparatory matters for the shipping route.
But the five-nation group was unwilling to let it go.
The five-nation group meeting.
They were also fiercely discussing the matter of the Maklou delegation.
Fuller was surprisingly among them. In fact, the five-nation group could be formed mainly because of Margate Interstellar Airlines' earlier work. Fuller was the main person in charge. Although HU had made a move, but after the first wave, they did not feel too much power. Advancing by retreating and letting others take the lead had always been the tradition of Margate Interstellar Airlines.
Moreover, after careful study of the cooperation between HU and KO Tita Business Organization, there was no depth to speak of. They had already exerted their strength once. The possibility of a second punch was not zero, but it was very, very low.
In the current situation, Margate Interstellar Airlines could no longer directly intervene in the shipping route. However, it was very feasible to earn profits through other means.
The plan that he had mentioned to Yan Xiaosu was just a smokescreen for HU Shipping to see.
The biggest plan was on this five-nation group. Five small countries that had never seen the world did not have the resources and power to build and manage the port. In the end, wasn't it all up to Margate?
His reason for convincing these five countries was also very simple. HU was not deeply involved. Without benefits, how could they offend them?
"We have done a lot of work on Maklou's side. I believe that they have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with KO's side. My suggestion is that we unite with Maklou's side and release a portion of our interests to Maklou. As long as we can take down the port, the future will be brighter."
Fuller advocated his theory. "Right now, the shipping route is two-sided. Titatitan Star is just one end. Maklou also has the power to flip the table. We just have to tie Maklou to the chariot. Everything else can be ignored, including HU Shipping. Of course, we can't make things too awkward. We will prepare shares for them. Everyone's lives will be better. I think no one will reject such great benefits!"
Were they all businessmen? Everyone was bustling about for profits, and everyone was bustling about for profits!
The leaders of the five countries conversed softly, nodding their heads secretly from time to time. The intensity of HU's connection was not high. This was also the reason why they had persevered. Together with the huge benefits in the future, they could try anything. If anything happened, wasn't there still a "scapegoat" in front of them? Shifting the blame was what they were best at.
Fuller was also grasping his last chance. He could not lose. Once he lost, everything would be for naught. The group did not need losers. The connection between Maklou and KO Group was not big. In all likelihood, it had been introduced by Tita Star. With Maklou as the public relations point, there would definitely be opportunities!
