Chapter 205 Trade Cooperation

() "I'm sorry to keep you all waiting for so long." After entering the reception room, the first person to speak up was not Susis, but an unknown race creature with a rather strange appearance. This guy's body is not much different from that of humans. The only problem is that his head is in the shape of an inverted triangle, and his chin is as thin as an awl, but his forehead is extremely wide, and his eyes are not located on the face. It's right in the center, but on the two top corners of the forehead.

Although this strange creature has a strange shape, it can speak fluent Chinese, which is quite surprising. Also, this creature's costume is quite unique. The clothes on his body are just a robe, which is nothing special, but there are two rigid supports standing there on the shoulders, and then a hood like a pergola is formed on the top of the head to completely cover the head inside, and in this pergola There are actually two gauze curtains in front of the same hood, which are hung on both sides of the hood with two small hooks like a stick on a bed. As long as the hooks are released, the falling gauze curtain can completely cover his face. ..

Since the other party spoke first, of course we have to respond somewhat. As the leader here, I was the first to stand up, shake hands with the other party and said: "Actually, we came too suddenly, and there was a little misunderstanding. I hope we didn't cause too much trouble to you."

The other party didn't seem to be very used to this kind of polite words. He simply responded with a few sentences and then started to get on with the topic. This made me very strange. Although I actually don't like talking like this, because the other person is a representative of the Dark Council, I thought he would be more accustomed to this way. Who knew that this guy was actually more direct than me, and had no characteristics of a diplomat at all. Of course, I'm happier if he can talk like this, at least it can save some time. I don't want the meeting with the Dark Council to be like those United Nations meetings, where we can talk about any topic for a week. ..

After the simple greetings, of course, we had to introduce the people first. The identities of the five people on the other side were all very different, but to be honest, I couldn’t remember them as soon as the introductions were made. Because the pronunciation of these five guys' names is very strange. What's even worse is that the five congressmen actually come from five races. How would you describe such a mixed situation?

Of course, the other party's personnel are complex, and our side is not simple either. Although Kristina and I are both players, according to the system settings, I chose the Demon Clan, which is a mixture of angels and demons, and was later infected with the genes of vampires and werewolves. Later, it was also contaminated with some dragon blood, so this race was completely in chaos. As for Kristina, she chose the human race, but now she has completely transformed into an elemental elf, and Persephone is simply a god. In this way, the three of us are also three races. Not much better than the other party.

Both parties were probably a little confused by the other's race and name, and in the end they had to awkwardly introduce themselves again. Fortunately, this time everyone tried their best to find easy-to-remember names for introduction.

The guy with the triangular head who spoke to us first turned out to be a person with a lot of background. This guy is one of the elders of the Dark Council. This is according to the rules of the Dark Council. The entire Dark Council has its own councils in the underground world around the world, but they are regional councils, and then each regional council needs to elect a member to participate in the central yang council. Generally, the elected central yang member is the speaker of the regional assembly. After all, the central yang member needs to represent the collective interests of the regional assembly, so only the regional speaker can achieve this effect.

These regional councilors form a central yang dark council in the central yang council, which is the main decision-making body of the dark council. This decision-making body is roughly equivalent to the National People's Congress in China or the Supreme Congress of the United States. In the central council of this dark council. There are four levels in total. The most common ones are members of parliament. This is the lowest level existence of the Central Council of the Dark Council, and it is also the largest group. There are also senior MPs on it. Susis is one of them. There are only more than 200 senior members in the central parliament, accounting for about one-eighth of the total number of people in the parliament. The next higher level is called the elders. The number of senators is one hundred and eight. This is a clearly stated number and does not change like the number of ordinary members and senior members. The status of the senators in the Dark Council is quite high, and these people will form an organization called the Senate, which functions like the State Council and is responsible for handling various matters.

In addition to the above three levels of personnel, there is also a fourth level of personnel, that is, the chief elder, which is actually the head of state. Of course, the head of state is just a job title of the Senate, and in the Dark Council, the head of state will actually automatically become the speaker, that is, the person with the highest status and the most power in the dark council.

The triangle-headed man who greeted me just now is an elder. Although there are one hundred and eight people like him in the entire Dark Council, if you know the total population controlled by the Dark Council, such a existence is actually It is already quite a high-end existence.

After the brief introduction, the guy with a complicated name, but who could be referred to as "Bob Sayles" began to ask us to sit down. After everyone sat down, he began to ask: "So, I don't know how many people are there this time?" What exactly happened when you came to our Dark Council? The report I just heard was not comprehensive, so I don’t know very much.”

I had already had an idea about Bob Sails' question, so I answered directly: "Actually, it's not a particularly complicated matter. I have a side mission to help White Elf solve a problem." I then said This time, I briefly introduced the incident provoked by the Black Elf family, and then explained our purpose.

After hearing this, Bob Sails didn't say anything. He just thought about it briefly and nodded: "This matter is not too difficult. We can do it easily, but I really want to know what our Dark Council will do." Want to do this?"

Although this matter is such a thing, I was a little stunned when Bob Sayers asked it so directly. But thinking about his reaction before, I kind of understand Bob Sayers' characteristics. This guy has a straight temper and doesn't hide his words or actions at all. Although such people may seem a bit sharp, at least they won't cheat on people behind their backs, and it will be easier to get along with them. Of course, you need to be good at cultivating your energy when talking to such people, otherwise you are likely to get angry. It doesn't matter when the interests are consistent, but if there is a conflict of interest. He will never give you a good face. Fortunately, we have no conflicts of interest this time. So Bob Sails' attitude was just to get some rewards.

Regarding the question raised by Bob Sails, I was just stunned for a moment before I started to answer: "Actually, we have also considered this matter. Helping Bai Jingling is just a way, and to repay the problem, I think we can use a cooperation Opportunity to come fully covered.”

"Cooperation?" Bob Sails obviously still doesn't understand my intention.

I didn't explain directly, but asked Persephone to come over first, and then asked Bosels to pay attention to her. Then Persephone began to relax her control over her divine power. The divine power of the gods will naturally spread without any suppression. This is the same as the energy principle in reality. High-energy objects always transfer energy to low-energy objects in various ways, eventually making their energy level consistent with the surrounding objects. This is the law of the universe, and all macroscopic objects must abide by this basic rule. This setting is also copied in the game, which means that if the gods do not control it, their own divine power will automatically lose. And even if it is controlled, if some special methods are not used to increase the effect, there will still be strong energy fluctuations leaking, and this fluctuation can allow others to perceive your strength.

After Persephone released her divine power, the surging divine power immediately filled the entire room. Although Persephone was only an ordinary protoss, and even among the ordinary protoss, she was relatively ordinary. The coercion of knowledge is far from comparable to that of a higher god like Mother Earth. But at least for Bob Sells. This kind of fluctuation is already quite alarming.

Although the power fluctuation ratio is equal to absolute strength, some creatures with low power fluctuations can also defeat some creatures with strong power fluctuations. For example, the Stone Giant is only a 500-level creature, but ordinary monsters at 600 or 700 levels cannot defeat it, so the fluctuation is not absolute. But at least one thing is for sure, that is, even if a creature with super strong power fluctuations is weak, it will never be much weaker. After all, the energy reserve is too scary. Even if you don't know how to use it, you can just spray out a little to defeat the enemy. In great embarrassment.

"Is this a protoss?" Although Bob Sails had already heard our introduction to Persephone, we only introduced that we were members of the Frost Rose Alliance, and then introduced Persephone to Bob Sails introduced Persephone's name, but did not say what she did, so Bob Sails took it for granted that Persephone was my follower. Although this understanding is not wrong, if you understand Persephone's strength this way, it is completely wrong and cannot be found.

"Of course I am a god, but I am not a local god."

"Not a local protoss?" Bob Sails still didn't fully understand.

I helped explain: "Persephone is a member of the Chaos and Order Gods, the guild of our Frost Rose Alliance, so she said she is not a local God."

"Does your guild have its own clan of gods?" Bob Sails finally came to his senses.

I nodded and said: "Although it sounds exaggerated, you have also seen that we really have guild gods. After all, except for this situation, can you find any reasonable explanation for why a god would follow me like this?" Are there people running around?”

Bob Sails thought about it for a long time and really couldn't find any explanation. In the end, he could only believe that Persephone was our guild god. After all, Persephone looked like she was my follower. This required If they were not guild gods, how could ordinary gods have such an attitude towards mortals? The reverse is more or less the same.

"I believe your identity, but what does this have to do with our cooperation?" Sure enough, Bob Sails is a guy who is so direct that it is a bit unbearable.

"To tell you that our Frost Rose Alliance has a guild protoss is to make you believe that our Frost Rose Alliance is a very powerful guild, so that our cooperation can be possible. Otherwise, the power will be extremely unequal. Are you willing to cooperate with us? "Kristina said directly: "According to the intelligence of our guild, although your Dark Council is not very well-organized and its power is dispersed, so its combat effectiveness is not very strong, but after all, you have a huge alliance foundation, so your strength is It is still relatively powerful. For an organization like yours, ordinary small guilds will seek cooperation with you. Will you pay attention?"

Although Bob Sails wanted to say no, he finally nodded, and then returned to the topic again and said: "Okay. Even if you are very powerful, is there anything we can cooperate with? You are a ground guild. We are an organization from the underground world, there is no overlap between the two, right?"

"About this, I don't think it's what you said?" I asked in return: "Don't the Dark Council intend to enter the ground? Or is it that you don't need supplies from the ground at all? If you want to come to the ground, and If you need something on the ground, you will inevitably need to interact with organizations on the ground. Under this kind of request, wouldn't it be a good thing to choose a strong organization as a partner? "

"What benefits can we get from this?" Bob Sells once again got to the point directly.

"What do you need?" I don't want to beat around the bush with the other person. This kind of guy is just trying to beat himself up.

After thinking for a while, Bob Sails did not come back to us immediately, but said: "Can you let us leave for a while?"

I nodded and made a please gesture. The other party immediately called the other congressmen around him to leave the reception room together. Kristina, Persephone, I waited in the room for twenty minutes before Bob Sayles came back, and this time the entourage actually changed. Except for Bob Sails, Susis is no longer among the people who came this time. She is just a senior council member. She may be a high-status existence in the eyes of other Dark Council members, but among Bob Sails They thought this was just a peripheral person, so the personnel changed this time, and the other four guys who followed Bob Sells last time also didn't show up. Instead, six other people were replaced.

The six people who came this time plus Bob Sells made seven people. Bob Sails was walking in the second row, but the person next to him was slightly half a body ahead of him. And there was another person in front of them. From this position, it can be determined that the person next to Bob Sails and the person in front are both higher than him.

Bob Sails is already the elder of the Dark Council, so who are these two people? First of all, these two people should be at least elders, and the one alongside him should be a very high-status elder. Maybe this person is very powerful, or maybe he is very capable or relatively strong. In short, he should be very powerful. Guy. As for the one at the front, this one is easier to judge. Because this person has a higher status than the elder Bob Sails, and even his clothes are different, so I am 90% sure that this person is the speaker of the Dark Council.

Sure enough, Bob Sayers started introducing him as soon as he came in. "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. This is the Speaker of our Dark Council."

"Hello everyone." The speaker politely stood up and shook my hand, and then said: "My name is relatively long. I heard that you are not very used to our names, so you can call me by my middle name 'Sith'. "

"Good Lord Speaker of the Sith." I shook hands with the other party politely, and then introduced myself. Of course, Kristina and Persephone could not be left behind.

Probably because Bob Sails reported the situation here, the Sith Speaker showed extraordinary enthusiasm for Persephone. After all, this is a god. Even if he is not the god he believes in, he does not need to kneel down, but if he is received with diplomatic etiquette, no matter how warm he is, it should not be too much.

We can all understand the reaction of the Sith Chancellor, and Persephone also responded politely. Of course, the Speaker also enthusiastically introduced his staff to us. After the two sides exchanged greetings, the Sith Speaker began to talk about business with us.

"I heard that you are going to cooperate with our Dark Council. I wonder what kind of cooperation it will be?" The Sith Speaker did not waste time. I don't know if the creatures in the underground world like to go straight. Anyway, so far I have encountered The senior members of the Dark Council seem to be quite straightforward.

Anyway, we are here to talk about this, so I did not talk in circles with the other party, but said directly: "About this matter, my assumption is this. First of all, our Frost Rose Alliance is a very powerful guild, but we don't want to Because we are already very strong, we have stopped developing. Moreover, although we are strong, we are not completely without enemies. On the contrary, our enemies were very many in the past. There are still many now. I believe they will be indispensable in the future. Therefore, our Development cannot stop. Based on this idea, we need to constantly seek new developments and strengthen ourselves, and the easiest way to strengthen ourselves is to find a group of allies who can complement each other."

The Sith Speaker nodded and said: "This theory is very correct, but how exactly do we need to cooperate?"

"We have no way to make a final conclusion on this point yet. All I can think of at the moment is to first understand what the Dark Council needs from us."

The Sith Speaker asked with slight surprise: "You guys came to discuss cooperation with us before we even confirmed what we want?"

I did not deny it, but nodded and replied: "Yes, we are not quite sure what you want, but we know what we want, and the Dark Council has exactly what we want."

The Sith Chancellor was a little worried when he heard me say that we didn't know what they wanted, so he thought we were just acting recklessly. But after hearing what I said later, he understood that we are not reckless people.

"I want to hear first what exactly do you want from us?" the Sith Speaker asked.

I quickly replied: "Being allies, mutual support in intelligence and military is the basic content, but when it comes to specific projects...the first and most important thing is the huge mineral resources of your Dark Council. I think This thing is basically a super rich resource for you, right?"

The Sith Speaker did not deny it, after all, this matter could not be denied. The underground world is famous for having many minerals, and the deeper the place, the richer the minerals. Compared with the minerals on the ground, their underground world's mines are not only widely distributed. And the reserves are huge and the quality is super high. Some ores require several processes for beneficiation and smelting on the ground, and natural elements may even appear directly in the underground world. In comparison, the minerals controlled by our surface forces are simply a tragedy!

"Regarding the issue of this mineral, we do have a large output, but if we use it to cooperate with you, we will face big problems." The Sith Speaker explained: "Although we have more minerals than we can meet, It will not be used up in the future, but the minerals will not go to our warehouses by themselves. They still need people to mine them, which requires labor and time. Moreover, you should also know that our underground world is affected by environmental changes. The problem is that food production has always been very low, and we dare not open up the only underground caves that can grow plants at will. After all, we still need oxygen in these places. If we destroy them randomly, gas exchange through limited underground entrances will not be enough. Far from enough. So our food has never been enough. Our Dark Council has been organizing manpower to mine ore, but at the same time we also need these ores to exchange for food and daily necessities. If we mine the ore and give it to you for use If we cooperate, there will be problems with our food, and our mineral production capacity is certain. Without a way to expand production capacity, we will have to go hungry. Do you think we will do this?"

"The Sith Speaker's understanding is a bit wrong. I said, we need to know what you need before we start cooperation. It does not mean using minerals in exchange for a simple name of cooperation. Cooperation includes military cooperation, political cooperation, and of course it can also include Economic cooperation. The buying and selling relationship itself is a kind of cooperation. Your ore and our food are exchanged to form a buying and selling relationship, which is also a kind of cooperation."

"If we just sell the ore we previously sold to other forces to you, it will still have the same result for us. Why should we give up the trading partners we have cooperated with for a long time and take huge risks to cooperate with you? ?”

"This question hits the mark very well. Indeed, you have been doing this before, but you are all shipping out scattered goods, so your income is actually very low. Haven't you ever thought about it? Do you want to change the transaction method? If all your minerals are produced, oh, no, this production may be a bit large, and some areas do not have our power, so they cannot be used. But if we produce all the minerals that our Frost Rose Alliance can cover, If all the production capacity in the region is bought out, then you can get a one-time overall price. This price determines that both you and us can omit many intermediate links, thus increasing the exchange quantity between the two parties. This is the first benefit."

"You said this is the first benefit. Then there must be a second benefit?" The elder next to the Sith Speaker, who had a slightly higher status than Bob Sails, asked. According to the previous introduction. This elder's name seems to be Wu Xianxian. To be honest, this name is quite strange, and it is an abbreviated name. He also introduced the full name before. Although he finally introduced us to an abbreviated name based on the appearance of the Sith Chancellor and Bob Sayles, the previous full name was Suddenly I thought of a racial dragon. The name of Wu Xingxuan is very similar to the name of the dragon clan, and according to this name, this person may be an epic ancient dragon. It is very likely that it is at the same level as Hong Yan in our guild.

I came here to continue the introduction, so after the other party asked me, I immediately said: "This is of course. The second benefit is actually that our Frost Rose Alliance is of great help to you. If you are trading with those individual customers, then The relationship between you is just a pure purchase and sale, and there is no relationship at all. But if it is such a large transaction and it stabilizes, then both of us can establish a stable bond of interest. This is the basis for establishing a relationship. Then, we The expertise of the guild can help the Dark Council obtain greater benefits."

"What's going on with this so-called greater benefit?" the Sith Speaker asked.

I nodded to Kristina, and then Kristina immediately took out her staff. Several elders on the opposite side thought that Kristina was about to take action, and quickly stepped forward to surround the Sith Speaker, but the Speaker Si pushed all these people away. "Why are you panicking? They are trying to hide something for us to see. Everyone, stay back."

Kristina did not interrupt her movements due to the other party's actions. She just thrust the staff into the ground, and with a click, the spear at the end of the staff directly penetrated into the rocky ground. Then Kristina gently tapped the tip of the staff. The gem on the staff immediately released a beam of light, and then projected a three-dimensional picture in the air.

I looked at the picture and explained to them: "What you are seeing now is a large machine produced by our guild. Of course. The thing in front of you now is just a power equipment, and its function is to use a special magic array to obtain magic crystals." The energy in the stone generates kinetic energy. We call this kind of magic equipment, and what you see is the magic machine, which is the basis of the magic industry. The magic machine consumes magic crystals to generate power, and then through a certain transmission device, we It can drive various front-end equipment to achieve the purpose we need."

As I described, the picture in front of me suddenly changed. A huge warship was sailing on the sea. Then the picture changed again. An eight-legged walking machine appeared on the screen and moved at high speed. I kept thinking as the picture changed. Introduction: "These things you see are all war machines of our guild. They are all based on the magic engines you have seen before. Even if you don't understand this information, you should see these things It can be understood that since we can make machines that use magic engines to fight, of course we can also make machines that mine ores. These things are tireless and can work around the clock, and as long as there are enough magic crystals, These things can be extremely powerful, and their mining speed is dozens or hundreds of times that of ordinary creatures."

After all, the Sith Speaker is the Speaker of the Dark Council. He already understood our intentions after hearing what I said here. "You mean you can give us these things and use them to increase our ore production capacity, so that we can exchange for more materials, right?"

I nodded and said: "Your judgment is very accurate, and this is just one of our cooperations."

The Sith Speaker thought for a while and then turned around and discussed quietly with several of his men for a while. During this period, Kristina did not close the image, and the Sith Speaker and the others also pointed at those things from time to time. , apparently discussing this issue.

Because the interests were obvious, and the Sith Chancellor and Bob Sayles were both decisive people, and Wu Xianxian didn't seem to be a slow person, the discussion came to a conclusion quickly.

The Sith Speaker turned to us and said: "I have to admit that you impressed us. This proposal is quite reasonable and very attractive. It's just that the details need to be discussed in detail. You also said before that what you want is not our full production capacity. , but the production capacity in certain regions, I want to know which regions."

"Actually, I don't think this issue is important."

"What?" The Sith Speaker was very confused about my answer.

I thought for a while and said: "I know that the areas controlled by the Dark Council have always lived in a bad way, so they have developed a cautious character. After all, your resources really cannot afford to lose. You are all the Dark Council. You are the top beings in the society, your knowledge is extraordinary, and you can see the long-term benefits. But ordinary people usually cannot see these. Although you have decided to cooperate with us now, you should not be able to decide the entire cooperation plan on your own. In the end, it still depends on the collective resolution of the Secret Council, and if you delineate the detailed distribution of minerals, it will be equivalent to revealing your sphere of influence. I think the security risks involved will make many members vote against it, right?"

Previously, it was because of my seductiveness that the Sith Speaker and others forgot about this matter for a while, but as soon as I said this, they immediately realized that this was indeed a problem.

War in the underground world is different from that on the surface. If we use the analogy of a war machine on the ocean. Ground wars are like naval battles in the battleship era. Everyone competes to see whose armor is thicker and whose cannons are more accurate and more powerful. However, the battle in the underground world is more like a battle between submarines. They are not competing on who has stronger attack power and who has weaker defense power. The war in the underground world is about who can find who first. Being discovered equals failure. Because there is no need for Fang Gen to attack you. All he needs to do is blow up all the underground passages leading to your gathering place. There will be no need to fight after that, as he will starve you all to death.

Due to different war modes, the underground world attaches great importance to the confidentiality of survival areas. Generally, they will have backup survival bases and many secret escape passages, but in comparison. If even the main survival base is not discovered. That's the best. So, if you want to reveal the distribution of minerals. It is a potential safety hazard. Because of mining, the settlement cannot be too far away from the minerals. This means that if you find the mining area, you will almost find the settlement.

"I wonder what President Ziri thinks about this issue?" Since I asked this question, the Sith Speaker certainly knows that we must be prepared.

When I heard the other party ask, of course I immediately replied: "I have thought about this issue a long time ago. What our Frost Rose Alliance needs is minerals, and we don't want to pry into your intelligence, so why not inform us of the mineral areas and change our We tell you where we are and what minerals we need in what quantities, and then you tell us how much you can get and where to receive the goods, and then we go to the agreed place to trade and that's it. Although this will reveal the location of our construction project, But this has no impact on our guild. Anyway, our ground facilities are not afraid of detection. If we can defeat them, we can naturally defeat them. If we cannot defeat them, we will not be able to defeat them even if they are discovered. As for projects that require secret construction, we I won't be stupid enough to ask you to directly deliver things to the construction site. We will definitely mobilize the materials from nearby and complete the material transportation through transshipment, so neither you nor we have to worry about the secret being leaked, which is a good thing for everyone. "

The Sith Speaker nodded and said: "If that's the case, it will indeed allow everyone to put aside their worries, but how will we deliver the mining equipment you mentioned?"

"This is of course the same method. You find a place where you feel safe and notify us. Then we are responsible for delivering the things to this place, and then teaching you how to assemble and use them. After that, you need to transport the things to the mining site yourself. Of course. , our equipment will be miniaturized as much as possible to facilitate your transportation."

The Sith Speaker nodded and said: "In addition to transportation issues, how to calculate the transaction price of those ores and the cost of the equipment? You won't be kind enough to give it to us for free, right? Also, you must have a rough idea of ​​the specific ores you need. Directory, right?”

I nodded and said, "Of course. Our Frost Rose Alliance is known for its rigor, and we are fully prepared for this cooperation. We have already drawn up a catalog of the types of ores we need. "I said and handed over a thin portion. You must know that the underground world is quite rich in minerals, and it is impossible to write it down on one piece of paper, so the final list we made took up more than a dozen pieces of paper, and they were stapled together to form a small list.

"There are so many types?" The Sith Speaker was shocked when he saw the catalog.

"We are a large guild, and the consumption is terrible."

"What do the numbers after the name mean?" Bob Sells asked.

"Numbers are quantities. This list is the limit of the supplies we need every week. Before your supply reaches this quantity, we will need as much as we have."

"Your consumption is really terrible!" After the Sith Speaker finished speaking, he asked: "Well, how do you calculate the machinery and equipment?"

"The machinery and equipment are like this. First of all, you need to give us some mining environment information of the minerals you need to mine, such as what kind of rock formation the ore is buried in, what is the hardness of the rock formation here, the ambient temperature, and whether it is in a gas environment. Whether to mine under water or in lava, and whether there will be monsters that interfere with mining. We will design the structure and function of the equipment based on the information you give. Of course, the more comprehensive your information is. , detailed, our equipment will definitely be easier to use. Your requirements for these machines can also be written down in the record, so that we can design the machine according to your usage habits, which will make it easier for you to learn how to use these things. Of course, we will also try to reduce the difficulty of operation as much as possible."

"What happens after we come up with the information?"

"After we receive this information, we will rush to produce a batch of samples for you as quickly as possible. The samples will be given to you first to test whether they can meet the requirements. If there are problems, you can return the samples and tell us where to find them. If there is a problem, we will modify it. If there is no problem, then it will be completely finalized, and then you will return the sample, and we will start the formal production of the equipment. After the equipment is completed, it will be sent to your designated location, and then we will teach you how to use and install it, and we will also tell you The price of the equipment. You can use it first. When the equipment is installed and the output increases, you can use the extra output to pay for the equipment. When the equipment cost is paid off, the extra output will be your money. Of course. , the equipment will be damaged, so sometimes it needs to be repaired. We only charge the cost of the parts for this repair fee. After all, your increase in production is also a good thing for us."

The Sith Chancellor nodded understandingly. They have seen the mineral catalog just given to them, and the maximum demand there is at least dozens of times higher than their current production capacity, which means they cannot meet our needs at all. Because he knows this, the Sith Speaker has no doubts about what I just said that their increase in production is a good thing for us.

"Okay, the general method of this cooperation project has been determined. How about we discuss it in detail if there are specific issues in the future?" I said to the Sith Speaker.

The Sith Chancellor also nodded. What can be determined now is just a rough outline. The specific details cannot be determined at the moment. And if we can talk about this step, the basic framework will be out. The rest can be found by some specific staff. Just deal with it and it'll be over.

Finally, I said: "Because we still need to talk about things later, I want to set up a liaison station outside. I wonder what the Sith Chancellor wants?"

This so-called liaison station is actually equivalent to an embassy, ​​except that neither we nor the Dark Council are countries, so we cannot call it an embassy, ​​but the function is actually the same.

Of course, the Sith Speaker would not refuse such a request, and simply nodded in agreement.

After the other party confirmed their agreement, I asked again: "So, now that we have reached such a strategic cooperation intention, can we do something small about the matter that I talked about with Elder Bob Sells before?" How about a thank you for helping us complete it?" (To be continued.)
