This is a large commercial planet located in the morning star cluster. Anti-gravity flying vehicles come and go in the sky, like steel rivers hanging diagonally in the air.
There are many high-rise buildings in the center of the core city of the planet. One of the buildings is very conspicuous. It stands tall and stands out from the crowd. The overall structure is like an erected genetic chain, which looks like a twisted "8". It flashed a faint blue light, with a certain sense of technology and art.
At the top of the building, there are eight anti-gravity suspended parking pads in a circle, like a floating island, guarding the "∞"-shaped building signboard in the middle. This is the emblem of the Infinite Consortium. The entire building is funded by the Infinite Consortium. There are no special circumstances, and commercial organizations will not build armed bases everywhere like warlords.
A small aircraft in the atmosphere slowly landed on the apron on the top floor of the Infinite Consortium Branch. Han Xiao walked out of the cabin and stepped onto the platform.
"Welcome Your Excellency Black Star."
The receptionist who had been waiting for a long time not far away immediately greeted him. Black Star had already informed about the visit to the Infinite Consortium, and the consortium had arranged the receptionist early.
Han Xiao snorted, expressionless, and said, "Where's Sorokin?"
"Your Excellency Sorokin is already waiting in the reception room, please come with me."
The receptionist responded respectfully and led the way.
Han Xiao followed him into the Infinite Consortium branch, took the private elevator, and stopped on a floor.
The elevator door opened, and a spacious space jumped into view. There were sofas and tables in the center of the room, and blue-green plants of unknown species were placed in the four corners. The surrounding walls were all floor-to-ceiling windows, and there was no extra furniture. Empty, the whole floor is a reception room.
Sorokin sat on the sofa and waited. At this time, he stood up to greet him with a smile on his face, "Your Excellency Black Star, please take a seat."
The elevator door closed, leaving only two people in the room.
Han Xiao came to sit down opposite Sorokin, and Sorokin sat down again and said with a smile: "A rare guest, when you said you came to visit me, I still didn't believe it, how could a busy person like you suddenly come here? I am here."
"Why, don't you welcome me?" Han Xiao tilted his head.
"Haha, you are joking, of course I welcome it." Sorokin kept smiling and looked at Han Xiao secretly, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
On the surface, he looked warm and hospitable, but Sorokin was actually full of doubts, secretly speculating that Black Star came to visit without warning.
Recently, the rumors of the empire's concession to Black Star have gone crazy in the outside world, and Sorokin has naturally heard of it. Although he is surprised, he is not shocked. After all, when Han Xiao just solved the rescue battle of Hela, he guessed this kind of Possibly, his surprise came more from the fact that the empire really did this.
Now Black Star is the most popular in the universe. At this juncture, this guy suddenly ran over to find him, and he didn't know what plans he had. Could it be that he wanted to cooperate on the issue of evolutionary totems
Well, it's not like, the empire has no reason to let outsiders intervene, and there has been a commercial struggle between the Infinite Consortium and the Black Star Legion over the years. Although he didn't mention it, he didn't forget it in his heart.
Sorokin was secretly vigilant at this time.
Han Xiao acted very relaxed, as if he was just coming over to reminisce, and smiled lightly: "It's the first time I've come here as a guest. It's really prosperous. It seems that the Infinite Consortium is developing very well in Glittering World."
"It's all thanks to our partners." Sorokin picked up the wine bottle on the table, opened the bottle cap, and poured a glass for Han Xiao himself.
"Well, good wine, this seems to be a glorious high-end product, specially provided." Han Xiao picked up the wine glass, swayed the amber-colored wine inside, and smiled when he heard the crisp clanging sound of ice cubes hitting the glass. , said casually: "Speaking of which, we are also partners in certain fields."
"Yeah." Sorokin nodded.
Han Xiao didn't get straight to the point, but started to talk about family affairs. Sorokin was not sure of his intentions, so he had to go down the line.
After taking a sip of the wine, the clear and mellow wine flowed down his throat, Han Xiao smacked his lips, and after a while, he suddenly sighed.
"Alas, to this day, I still regret that the Infinite Consortium almost became a closer partner with us, but it's a pity that you finally chose War Realm."
"Hehe, business matters are always inaccurate. Compared with the self-contained Black Star Legion, the Infinite Consortium is more willing to invest in a force that has a huge size but is difficult to realize. It is not that the Black Star Legion is not excellent, but The realm of war needs us even more, and I deeply regret the cooperation that was not reached at the beginning."
Sorokin said a scene, but secretly muttered in his heart.
He invested in the field of war to support the opponents who competed with the Black Star Legion in the business arena and to snatch the business of the Legion. Black Star has no reason not to know. He mentioned this matter at this time, but he did not mention the business struggle, and he did not know about the gourd. What medicines are there for sale.
And let the old man have a foolish relationship with this man... Sorokin thought to himself.
But at this moment, Han Xiao looked up at him and smiled slightly: "Actually, this is my purpose today. Today is different from the past. I want to represent the legion and provide an opportunity for cooperation for the Infinite Consortium."
Hearing this, Sorokin squinted his eyes, calculated quickly, and suddenly realized.
I understand, it turns out that Black Star had such a plan.
After the evolution totem is opened, the Infinite Consortium does not need to continue to put pressure on the business of Black Star Legion. The obstacles between the two sides have disappeared, and business cooperation can now be carried out normally. With the size of the Infinite Consortium and the Black Star Legion, if they cooperate , is indeed a win-win situation for mutual benefit.
For this reason, Black Star no longer pursues the contradictions of the more than 20 years of business struggles, and takes the initiative to propose a vision for cooperation.
This kind of practice of abandoning the old hatred and making money together is very appetizing to Sorokin. He thought he had guessed Han Xiao’s intention, and immediately relaxed a lot. The smile on his face was no longer formulaic, and finally had a real smile. .
"Your Excellency Black Star's proposal is exactly what I want. Now there are opportunities all over the Glittering World. If the two of us work together, we will be invincible and occupy the majority of the Glittering World market!"
"Since Your Excellency Sorokin thinks so, things will be easy!" Han Xiao patted his thigh, "Then set a date for me to officially become a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium."
The voice fell, and the air in the room immediately froze.
Sorokin's smile froze on his face.
What, the position of the shareholder? Aren't we talking about a normal business cooperation between the two? How did we get around this
However, seeing the playful look that flashed in Han Xiao's eyes, Sorokin's heart sank suddenly, and he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood Han Xiao's intentions.
"Your Excellency Black Star, forgive me for taking the liberty, the cooperation you mentioned is..."
"The cooperation opportunity I provided to the Infinite Consortium is to let me serve as a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium. Don't you just have a vacant position?" Han Xiao smiled meaningfully, and this was his real intention.
Sorokin's eyes narrowed slightly, finally confirming that Han Xiao's visitor is not good.
Taking advantage of Gorutan's empty seat, Black Star wanted to come over to replace him? Oh, I really thought that the position of the shareholders of the Infinite Consortium was a trophy, and I had to decide whether I could become it or not!
Around this shareholder position, Sorokin has formulated a detailed strategy to enter the interstellar black market. This is a bargaining chip with the secret master. Naturally, he will not give this position to others. This is related to the business empire blueprint in his heart. The Interstellar Black Market Asylum is an extremely critical step that cannot be missed.
Sorokin's smile faded, and he said slowly: "I'm really sorry, although Gorutan suffered an accident, since he is still alive, he is still a shareholder. If he dies accidentally, according to the terms he signed with me, the shares will be owned by the consortium. Take it back, I have no plans to set up a new shareholder for the time being, if you want to discuss other cooperation, I will be happy to accompany you, and the position of the shareholder will be exempted."
Han Xiao didn't care, and chuckled: "If I remember correctly, this is the second time you have rejected my request to be a shareholder."
Hearing this, Sorokin couldn't help but think back. It seems that Black Star proposed it once when the two met for the first time more than 20 years ago.
"Yes, I already rejected you at the time, and I still give the same answer today." Sorokin said lightly: "The foundation of the consortium is huge, and any change in any shareholder requires the consent of all shareholders. At the same time, the three universes Each high-level civilization has only one shareholder in the Infinite Consortium, and there are three-way checks and balances. Now that there is Kant in the shareholders, Guanghui and Void Spirit will not allow the second imperial ally to enter the shareholders meeting of the Infinite Consortium."
Han Xiao blinked and said meaningfully: "Solokin, twenty years have passed, times have changed, and I will give you a condition that you cannot refuse."
"Oh?"
"Hehe, first of all, ask all shareholders to agree... Do you think others will support me, or reject me?"
Sorokin was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed sharply.
He suddenly discovered that this problem seemed to be no longer a hindrance to Black Star.
Black Star is not what it used to be, and its status in the universe is far more than twenty years ago. He is also responsible for building a Transcendent A Grade united front communication platform. Based on this alone, he can get the support of Manison and Kesuye. And Kant, who is a colleague of Black Star, is even more unlikely to object.
Sorokin suddenly had a bad premonition.
At this time, Han Xiao smiled and said slowly: "As for the checks and balances of the three major civilizations... Do you think that, for the sake of evolutionary totems, Guanghui and Void Spirit will make an exception to allow the second imperial ally to serve as a shareholder, or Say, do you think they will stand up against me at this juncture?"
See you in the picture!
This is Sorokin's only thought at the moment.
His face sank completely.
That’s right, the empire’s open evolution totem temporarily resolved the hostility of Guanghui and Voidling, and in order to ensure the smooth implementation of this decree by the empire, Guanghui and Voidling might also turn into licking dogs, not only to ease relations with the empire, In turn, it will please the Black Star who holds the Evolution Cube.
What's more, Black Star has their captives in their hands, and has enough bargaining chips for Guanghui and Voidling to compromise. If he insists on writing the conditions of becoming a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium into the redemption clause, then Guanghui and Voidling will not only stop him, In turn, it will help Black Star become a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium!
At this moment, Sorokin finally noticed a detail evolution totem problem that made him faintly uneasy but has been ignored. Once the problem of evolution totem was solved, although he completed the transaction between Glory and Void Spirit and got the benefits as he wished, he also lost these two amulets at the same time. .
It means that if Black Star wants to be a shareholder, he, the head of the consortium, has no qualifications to veto it!
Either, hold your nose and let Black Star be a shareholder and let this guy eat astronomical dividends for nothing, or wait for the three major civilizations to help Black Star, sanction the infinite consortium in the business field, and force yourself to submit.
I don't want to give it!
Thinking of this, Sorokin took a deep look at Han Xiao.
It's a good way to fully utilize its own "potential". Could it be that Black Star has already reached this stage? !
Han Xiao just smiled, sipping his drinks slowly, looking fearless, waiting for an answer.
Seeing this, Sorokin's expression kept changing, and he was silent for a while, then he spoke again and said slowly:
"Black Star, your hand...played beautifully."
"Then how are you going to choose?" Han Xiao said with a playful expression.
"… Do I have a choice?"
Hearing this, Han Xiao laughed, put down the wine glass, and stretched out his palm towards Sorokin.
"Then... wish us a happy cooperation?"
Looking at the palm handed over by Han Xiao, Sorokin took a deep breath, suppressed his shit-like mood, squeezed a smile on his face, and reached out to hold Han Xiao's hand.
"Pleasant to work with."
They clenched their palms tightly, and their eyes collided in mid-air, as if they could wipe out electric sparks.
Seeing the banter in Han Xiao's eyes, Sorokin couldn't help but feel the urge to do it, but this kind of thought just came up and was smothered by him.
He recognized the reality clearly. Since he couldn't resist, he could only enjoy it. Take the lesser of the two evils. Even if it hurts, he resolutely compromised and surrendered to Han Xiao.
"Um?"
Han Xiao was keenly aware of the killing intent that Sorokin radiated in an instant. At this moment, he felt as if he had seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The murderous intent was even stronger than Hela's, and it was said that there were no tens of billions of lives in his hands. , he doesn't believe it.
This old guy really used to be a murderer without blinking an eye...
However, Han Xiao didn't care, and withdrew his hand with a smile. He knew that Sorokin was used to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but he just bullied the other party and didn't dare to do it.
After all these years, Han Xiao has quite understood Sorokin's style, and this person doesn't care about personal reputation at all.
If he takes the initiative to attack, then he dares to do it himself, Sorokin dares to cheat and lose, shyly let himself be beaten, and then use propaganda tools to add fuel to the scandal, making it known to the whole universe. Now, the positive reputation has plummeted, and a large number of cooperative consortia will be lost. Although there is no support from the glory and the ethereal, the identity of the head of the infinite consortium is also a talisman. This is not some gray force. The cat and dog, but the legitimate interstellar business organization Longtou, the use of violent means against such people has a huge negative impact. For example, one surnamed Ma beat another surnamed Ma. If you can make headlines, you will know if you think about it.
After getting what he wanted, Han Xiao stopped teasing Sorokin, put away his smile, and said lightly: "Since we have reached a consensus, please announce this to the outside world as soon as possible, and I won't bother."
"Okay, walk slowly." Sorokin forced a smile and said off.
After Han Xiao left the room, Sorokin's face completely stinks.
Planted this time!
Don't look at it as if the shareholder changed from Gorutan to Black Star, but this undermined Sorokin's business strategy and missed the opportunity to enter the interstellar black market.
As a businessman, watching the important business opportunities that could have been available slip through the fingers, the pain cannot be described in words, it is unforgettable.
Moreover, with Black Star's vigilance against himself, he will not sincerely cooperate with the Infinite Consortium, so the Infinite Consortium estimates that it is difficult to get any feedback from this shareholder. reverse osmosis.
Just thinking about it makes Sorokin feel bad.
For a long time, the Infinite Consortium has been using commercial means to hinder the development of the Black Star Legion, and it has only recently converged.
Click!
The wine glass was crushed and the pieces fell to the ground.
Sorokin didn't wipe his hands, letting the amber liquor drip from the cracks between his fists.
His face was very ugly, and he muttered to himself:
"I hate Transcendent A Grade..."
