Chapter 867 Signing Dinner
After deciding to accept the invitation, Duanmu Huai also informed the girls about the situation. Everyone is naturally looking forward to this. After all, people like An, Gureya, Liumiel and others have fought to save those planets, so they are also very concerned about the future of human civilization on these planets.
Now they are very happy to see that they can unite and move forward together - it means that their efforts were not in vain, right?
Of course, what Duanmu Huai wants to say is...
"What is this ''facing the future and creating brilliance together''... Do you have to use such a boring theme? Forget it, it''s better than warmly celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Bapulov."
Looking at the slogan on the invitation letter, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes silently. They are currently taking the battleship of the Inquisition to the venue of the banquet, which is located in the center of these planets. In order to better coordinate the commercial and political relations of each planet, Dardanell spared no effort to build a large space station in this place called "Midpoint of Aquila". According to Dardanell''s vision, it will become a material trade and transportation center for other planets.
This dinner is also equivalent to announcing the opening ceremony of the official launch of this space station.
"I really didn''t expect that they actually made it. It''s really touching. I still remember that these planets were all on the verge of destruction."
As the person who has followed Duanmu Huai for the longest time - or second only to Aojis, An couldn''t help but sigh. She has also walked with Duanmu Huai until now, and An also participated in almost all the wars on these planets. Looking back now, His Highness, His Royal Highness, only felt like a different life.
"Don''t be too excited, either."
Duanmuhuai looked at An excited and silently poured cold water on her.
"We went this time mainly to kill people."
"Hey? Kill someone?"
After hearing this, An was shocked.
"Why? Mr. Knight, is there something wrong with those planets?"
“That’s not.”
Duanmuhuai shook his head, then reached out to point to the invitation letter.
"Have you not noticed seeing the invitation? Our opponent is the Galaxy Business Alliance."
"What is that?"
At this time, An also came over, picked up the invitation letter and looked carefully.
"Simply put, it is a large commercial alliance established by a group of alien alien civilization races. Do you understand?"
"Oh...wait, why did they get involved?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Mary and others had no reaction, and An immediately realized something was wrong. After all, although this magic princess is innocent on the surface, she is also very familiar with politics. Therefore, after hearing Duanmuhuai''s introduction, An immediately noticed the problem.
An also knows the situation of these planets. To be honest, even if it sounds nice, An feels that they do not have very strong trading strength at the moment. After all, these planets are currently in the recovery period, and strictly speaking they are on the weak side.
Of course, it is actually normal for the weak to join the group to keep warm, and they do the same.
But the emergence of the information business alliance is another matter.
In particular, Duanmu Huai also pointed out that the other party was a "large" business alliance, which immediately made An''s alert.
It is natural for merchants to expand their strength and scope, but this is also a matter of fact. If they are businessmen of average strength, they will choose to cooperate with local forces.
But what if it is a strong businessman?
"Uh...I still don''t understand. Is there any problem? Miss An?"
Looking at An, who was in deep thought and serious expression, Mary asked in confusion. Although she is a very powerful writer, unfortunately - the political field is not the scope of Mary''s expertise.
Archaeology may be better.
"Businessmen are all pursuing interests. Indeed, I admit that if you look at the merchants, the planet that survived the disaster has great development value, and because they need to rebuild, they have a very urgent need for business, but this creates a problem."
"question?"
"Yes, the businessman will indeed sell what you want, but you also know that if you know you really want it, the other party will raise the price."
"ah………"
Hearing this, Mary also immediately understood.
"If it is just an item used by individuals, you may choose to give up and not sell it. But if a certain planet is about to reach the cold winter, people need enough warm items to survive the cold winter. In this case, if the other party raises the price, you can only buy it, right?"
"But I can shop around..."
"That works in a healthy competition, and more importantly, these businessmen have supervision, so they can be obedient. But, if there is no supervision, what will things become?"
"Hey? This..."
Hearing this, Mary frowned and immediately discovered the problem.
“That’s why Dardanell called us here.”
Duanmuhuai also revealed the answer at this time.
"It''s certain that the other party has definitely had contact with Dardanell before, so he... To be honest, as a businessman, his strength is indeed not strong. Even if he is in the Star Alliance, he can''t compare with those large chambers of commerce."
“This is…”
"So I think those **** aliens must have used both soft and hard to him, wanting to eat the prototype of the just-appeared commercial alliance in one bite, strengthen their own power, and monopolize the economic circulation here. Of course, if the other party is also a human civilization, then this is normal business competition, but..."
Speaking here, Duanmu Huai showed a hideous smile. "A mere alien aliens are trying to embezzle human interests? Just relying on these low-level alien hybrids? Not to mention unequal commercial competition, even equal commercial competition is not possible!"
"So Mr. Duanmu said we are here to kill people."
At this moment, Mary also understood that Dardanell''s invitation letter was an invitation on the one hand and a request for help on the other hand. The cross-galaxy alien civilization business alliance is definitely a behemoth, and its strength is definitely not comparable to a small ronin and a few planets that are in the reconstruction period after the disaster. Dardanell asked the Court of Justice to come forward to fight this behemoth head-on!
As for Duanmuhuai''s intermittent excitement, everyone has long been accustomed to it. This is the human supremacy of the Inquisition. From the perspective of the Inquisition, the so-called galaxy business alliance is an organization that is trying to harm human interests. Just eliminate it directly.
While speaking, the battleship of the Inquisition Court had also arrived at the space station built at the center point. Compared with the space station of the Inquisition, the technical design of this space station in front of us is obviously more backward. It looks like a huge donut, and a large and thick chocolate stick is inserted into the center of the donut. How to say...
That''s it.
Of course, Duanmuhuai didn''t care much about this. No matter what, this was the first space station that Dardanell spent a lot of money to build, and it still looked like that. If possible, Dardanell naturally wanted to build a giant space station like the Inquisition, but he did not have the technology, the capital, and the strength.
Then you can only be what you do.
Around this space station, several warships are patrolling back and forth.
"Ah, it''s UAC over there."
"I saw the battleships of the Tower Parliament..."
Looking at the logos on the battleships, the girls were also talking about it. It was no wonder. After all, the space warships of these forces were purchased from the Inquisition, but the logos had changed. Of course, with their current funds, they can''t afford to buy too large warships, so it''s enough to buy some ordinary destroyers or cruisers.
As for the Emperor-level battleships, they don’t even think about it. These are all non-selling products, and Duanmu Huai will not sell them.
"What kind of warship is that one over there?"
However, at this moment, Gureya also reached out to point to the side and asked. When she heard Gureya''s inquiry, the others also looked in the direction of her finger.
On the other side of the space station, a strange-looking metal warship was docking in orbit. It was about the same size as a moon-class cruiser, and the surface looked very smooth. To be honest, it gave people the feeling of a long eggplant coming across... Well, the shape was also very similar.
"It''s probably the warship of that galaxy business alliance."
Looking at the battleship, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.
"Aikot, pass by them."
"I understand, uncle."
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s orders, Aikot immediately made changes. Soon, the Inquisition Fleet with the Emperor-class battleship as the core shifted its direction towards the long eggplant battleship. They slowed down and passed by the long eggplant warship one by one. At the same time, the black macro cannon muzzle on the ship also aimed at the battleship in front of them. It is certain that with just one order, the warship would immediately be completely shattered in the artillery attack of the Inquisition.
As for the other party''s reaction, Duanmu Huai didn''t care. He just led the fleet to circle the space station with his might, and then left the flagship on the airship and entered the closed hangar under the guidance of the tower.
When the hatch door opened and Duanmuhuai and his group walked out of the airship, they saw Dardanell coming up with a smile.
"Hello, dear judge, oh, it''s really like a day when you don''t see each other again. Your complexion is still so good..."
"Okay, stop flattering. I think you are doing well and your stomach is getting up."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked at the Shanglanger in front of him. He still remembered that when he first met with the other party, Dardanell''s body was quite well-proportioned. Now... this beer belly seemed to have been in a long time since he exercised.
"Oh, look at what you are saying..."
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s jokes, Dardanell also smiled awkwardly.
"Isn''t this busy... I''ve been having meetings with people and have dinner and drinking. Alas, I thought about losing weight... It''s a pity that I don''t have time..."
"It''s hard to start a business, take it slowly."
Duanmuhuai reached out and patted Dardanell on the shoulder.
"Oh, by the way, I''ll introduce it to you."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked at Mary.
"This is Mary Clarissa Christie, who is also a member of our Inquisition and a writer. She has been acting with me and has written many of the Inquisition''s actions into books. If you have any intention, you can talk to her."
"real?"
Hearing this, Dardanell''s eyes suddenly shone.
"Oh, Lord Judge, I really didn''t expect you to give me such a big gift as soon as you came. Thank you so much!"
Speaking of this, Dardanell hurriedly faced Mary and bowed respectfully.
"Hello, this lady, I am Dardanell, a little famous Shangshang Ranger. I wonder if you are interested in talking to me about the publishing of your works?"
"Why?"
Looking at Dardanell in front of her, Mary was stunned. She looked at Dardanell in surprise, then Duanmu Huai, looking confused.
What is this going on?
Mr. Duanmu has never mentioned it to me before?
?I bought a second-hand Iron Triangle LP60XBT record player in Xianyu, and it only cost 900 yuan. When I took it back, I saw that except for the dust cover, there was no problem. It was really a big profit. Now we are also a little bourgeoisie who listens to records.
