~： 923 The Old Fox and the Lobbyist

Thinking of Sorokin's information in his heart, Han Xiao's face remained as usual, and then Sorokin asked in a very interesting tone:

"I don't know how you are going to cooperate?"

"The Glittering World is a rare business opportunity. It is said that the Scarlet Empire will give the allies participating in the land reclamation the territory. When the new star field is opened in the future, the Glittering World will be incorporated into the circulation system of the entire universe. At that time, countless interstellar citizens will flood in. Star Territories will usher in explosive development. The imperial allies who sit on these territories are the biggest winners, so we hope to invest heavily in the Black Star Legion and build territories ahead of time with you."

Speaking, Sorokin smiled faintly, "Our Infinite Consortium invests in the entire universe and will not miss any business opportunities. Presumably, Your Excellency Black Star also knows our financial resources, and with our help, the construction of the site will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Yes, the market value of the Infinite Consortium... is indeed amazing. I will not doubt your strength." Han Xiao nodded.

Many subsidiaries of the Infinite Consortium have been listed on the interstellar stock market in different regions early on, and the market value is transparent and open. Upon checking, that number will make people who do not know whether Inar is an extremely cheap currency.

Resources often gather in the hands of a few people. In the interstellar era, the gap between rich and poor is as great as the difference between surface beasts and civilized citizens of the universe.

The empire’s allies develop the Shining World Territory, inevitably from the backing of various consortiums. They are also a means of cost-sharing and commercial cooperation. The Scarlet Empire itself also acquiesces to these allies to sign contracts with the consortium and build together.

It sounds like there is no problem, it is indeed the normal interest of the consortium, but Sorokin, this guy, um...Han Xiao didn't change his face, but he was muttering in his heart.

Seeing that Han Xiao did not show his attitude, Sorokin squinted his eyes and continued: "The Black Star Legion is now a huge business, dominates the broken star ring, and is no less than a large consortium in terms of financial resources, because of its deep background and connections. Extensive, with imperial support, and a very stable position. If the Black Star Legion goes public and issues credit vouchers, it will definitely attract countless interstellar citizens to invest. It will not be a problem for the market value to increase dozens of times."

"What do you mean?" Han Xiao frowned.

Sorokin smiled, "It happens that our Infinite Consortium has rich experience in this aspect. If the Black Star Legion has an idea, we are happy to help the Black Star Legion raise publicly..."

"I'll talk about this later." Han Xiao interrupted Sorokin. This thing is the authentic cutting of leeks, but at the moment there are advantages and disadvantages, and he doesn't have this idea for the time being.

Hearing this, Sorokin also stopped this topic at the right time and asked: "Then, your Excellency Black Star, what do you think of my request for cooperation."

Han Xiao thought for a while and asked intently: "I am not the only one who can develop the Glittering World. It stands to reason that after the sites allocated to each family are determined, those consortia will stand by the wind and choose high-quality sites for cooperation. All the allies have not chosen a site yet, so surely you bet on me?"

"Haha, I also have some connections in the Crimson Empire. I have received some inside information. Even if there is no such relationship, relying on your contributions in the Battle of Beacon Star and the Fall of Ability God incident, and the strategic evolution cube in your hand. , I know that the empire gives you the best site. In that case, why should I hesitate."

Sorokin smiled.

This is not false. If there is no interest entanglement behind him, he will choose an empire ally to invest, he will also choose the Black Star Legion. With Han Xiao’s record and importance, everyone knows that the Black Star Legion will be the biggest piece. Fatty.

It's just a pity...

"Is that so..." Han Xiao glanced at Sorokin deeply.

This guy is sincere and sincere, and his words are in line with his interests, and he seems to really want to cooperate with me...

But because of Sorokin’s attempt to intervene in the Gural Civil War, Han Xiao never let go of his guard. He hesitated for a while and asked: "If I promise to cooperate with you, you are ready to sign with me now. contract?"

"That's not true." Sorokin shook his head and said with a smile: "My trip is only to reach a preliminary intention. After the site is confirmed, the specific contract details can be perfected. Of course, the main reason I came here in person is you. I was appointed to attend the Black Star party. This kind of big business really requires me to talk about it personally. On the other hand, I also admire the deeds of Black Star Lord."

Jing said good things about flattery, it didn't look like a super A Grade style... Han Xiao secretly said.

At this time, Han Xiao's heart moved and said: "If this is the case, then I have no opinion."

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Sorokin smiled.

Han Xiao didn’t laugh. He turned around and said slowly: “By the way, I heard that the Infinite Consortium has many Transcendent A Grade shareholders as shareholders, some of which are ancient people, such as Tool Nation Manison, and an empire. Super A Grade allies are also your shareholders."

"Yes."

"It's not wrong that the Infinite Consortium uses shareholder positions in exchange for resources and shelter."

"……Yes."

"Well, you want to cooperate with me, but the verbal promise is still unstable. The development of Shining World will still be long in the future. If I become a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium, I will naturally cooperate with the Infinite Consortium... I ask myself about Black Star. The name is still a bit arrogant in the universe. Your Excellency Sorokin, I wonder if my level and these chips are eligible for a shareholder position?"

Through the Gural Civil War, he knew that the Infinite Consortium had an attempt to steal vegetables, and if he could break into the Infinite Consortium, he still didn't know who would pry into whose corner.

"This..." Sorokin looked embarrassed.

Han Xiao's eyes flashed and his tone sank deliberately, "Oh? Do you think I am not qualified."

"Of course not." Sorokin shook his head, but sneered in his heart.

I'm afraid you are really not qualified.

The first time I met with me, I wanted to try to become a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium. I had a huge appetite. It seemed that the record of the Beacon Star and Ability God made Black Star arrogant...Solokin secretly said.

Thinking like this in his heart, Sorokin made a helpless look on his face.

"Your Excellency Black Star is certainly qualified, but the consortium is so large, the shareholder position is not what I want to give, even if I want, other shareholders may not be willing, and...three cosmic civilizations, each has only one shareholder, the empire already has one It's a bit...you know what I mean."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this." Han Xiao nodded, and it was the three major civilization checks and balances, and their shadows were really everywhere.

This reason is easy to use, it seems that it is difficult to test out something verbally.

"In this case, I won't talk about these business matters for the time being. Anyway, I am very happy to see another Super A Grade today." Han Xiao stared at Sorokin, "Are you interested in following the Super A Grade conventions with me? Let's discuss it?"

"No, I'm not good at fighting." Sorokin waved his hand and smiled.

"Haha, come here, a Super A Grade says he is not good at fighting, you are just playing with me."

"Although I am Super A Grade, I don't like to use force. I haven't fought against people for a long time. My fighting skills have been wasteful. Moreover, Black Star's record has spread throughout the universe. I think I am not an opponent and there is no need to compete."

After all, Sorokin stood up and smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, you will see other guests later, and when I first arrived, I also need to settle down for my staff. Come here today, and I will come back tomorrow. Visit and talk later, what do you think?"

"Okay." Han Xiao nodded when he heard this. He was a guest from afar, so he couldn't force Sorokin to stay.

Sorokin smiled, and after exchanging the communicator numbers, he left the reception room.

After he left, Han Xiao frowned.

"This guy won't get in. If he doesn't agree to learn from each other, I have to think of other ways..."

Sorokin is also a big man on one side. When someone comes to talk about cooperation, he can't directly go up to him. The other party's attitude is not clear, and it is not good to make enemies rashly.

However, although Luo Jin seemed very sincere, Han Xiao always felt that the other party didn't really want to cooperate with him.

Recalling the exchange just now, Han Xiao found it difficult to see Sorokin's personality, as if he was wearing a mask throughout.

"I don't know what he thinks..." Han Xiao rubbed his temples and sighed helplessly.

Dealing with this kind of people is the most tiring.

...

At the same time, Broken Starlink, the headquarters of the war field.

This year's Overlord Gathering and Black Star Gathering were held at the same time. The various civilizations of Broken Starlink did not care about one or the other, and sent messengers to follow the habits of previous years to participate in Overlord Gathering.

On the top floor of the palace in the field of war, Heboar stood in front of the huge hanging window. Outside the window was a black and gray surface fortress and the sky full of stars. His eyes were fixed on the residences of all the messengers.

In previous years, these messengers would take advantage of the period of time before the overlord’s gathering, but now, these messengers hardly moved, most of them stayed in their rooms, and the hall looked deserted, like a pool of stagnant water.

Because the Black Star gathering is more lively and there are more participating forces, the various civilizations of Broken Starlink regard the Black Star gathering as the main stage of communication, and the Overlord’s gathering is reduced to a secondary occasion, and the things to be discussed are in the dark. Stars can finish the conversation, and there is no need to move around.

Now these civilizations are participating in the overlord's gathering, and they are more of a show to show their face, and there is no longer the lively grand occasion of the past.

"Huh, Black Star."

Heboar's expression was tense, his fist behind his back clenched tightly.

At this moment, Chief Staff Officer Jod walked into the room, came behind Heboar, and whispered: "Your Excellency, the messenger of the Infinite Consortium is here. She is waiting outside."

"Let her in." Heboar didn't look back.

After a while, Lofeel walked into the room, looked at the tall figure in front of the window, and felt a sense of oppression oncoming with just one glance.

She calmed her mind a little, and whispered: "I have seen the Lord Tyrant."

She is not even a natural disaster grade, unable to face Han Xiao as calmly as her father Sorokin.

"I heard that your Infinite Consortium wants to cooperate with me?" Heboar turned his head and glanced at Lofer.

"Yes, it's about Shining World, I..."

"As a consortium, you want to invest. You don't need to talk to me for such trivial matters. Go find a cadre who specializes in business cooperation." Heboar retracted his gaze and lost interest.

Lovell gritted his silver teeth and took out a letter, "Your Excellency Sorokin asks me to bring you a letter."

"Letter?" Heboar frowned.

In this era, there is a convenient means of information transmission such as quantum communication. Handwritten letters are more for confidentiality. Heboar has some doubts. He and Sorokin have no friendship. What does it mean to bring me a letter? It can't be a love letter.

Heboar then turned to face Lofeel, grabbed the letter in his hand, opened it and glanced, suddenly his eyes shrank, his face became serious, and he read the contents of the letter carefully.

"So it's like this..."

Heboar squeezed his hand, and the letter turned into powder, and disappeared from fragments to atoms. He immediately looked at Jod, "You go out first."

Jod was taken aback, so he had to retire first and closed the door by the way.

There were only two people left in the room, and Heboar's eyes flashed with a bright light, and his vigorous force rushed out, filling the entire room, isolating outside detection, and then slowly speaking:

"You want me to deal with the Black Star Legion?"

"Yes." Lovell nodded.

"Huh, ridiculous!" Heboar said coldly: "Although I have a rift with Black Star, I am both an ally of the empire, and I can't take him anymore. You are looking for the wrong person."

Lovell took a deep breath, recalling what Sorokin had taught him, and said in a deep voice:

"Black Star has only risen for more than 20 years, and how many 20 years have you been in Broken Starlink? Black Star has come from behind, and the business is booming. Now the influence has surpassed you, Lord, are you willing?"

Heboar looked indifferent, but did not refute.

"As an ally of the empire, the Scarlet Empire has always been partial to the Black Star Legion, giving them a key support. Have you ever thought about why..."

Heboar interrupted her and said slowly: "He has an Evolution Cube, I don't have it, it's that simple."

"Yes!" Rofeel said in a loud voice, "This is the crux!"

"Huh, so you want me to help you get into the Cube?" Heboar was indifferent, a sneer flashed in his eyes.

"Of course not, we just want him to lose the evolution cube, there is still a difference between the two."

"Oh? How to say?"

"It is almost impossible to snatch. Shining and Ethereal will not act rashly. As an ally of the Empire, you have to help the Black Star Legion and will never sit back and watch our actions. So what we hope is to let Black Star take the initiative. Hand over the evolution cube."

Heboar almost wanted to laugh, "Give the Evolution Cube to outsiders? Do you think Black Star is crazy or stupid? Huh, I understand that Black Star bastard, a pure interestist, and want him to take the initiative to give up the universe treasure, unless Your infinite consortium will go bankrupt tomorrow."

"No, I didn't say that." Lofeel paused, "But if Black Star surrenders the object of the Evolution Cube...what about the Scarlet Empire?"

Heboar narrowed his eyes and became a little interested.

"...Let's listen in detail."
