Chapter 3 Seahorse Past
When the plane in the shape of a blue-eyed white dragon parked on the tarmac of Kaiba Group, Isono and Kuurei, who had been waiting for Kaiba's return, picked up the top leader of Kaiba Group from the plane. At this time, although Seto Kaiba He was in a good mood, but he didn't sing to cheer him up like he did on the plane before - Kaiba probably knew how lethal his singing was, so he never sang in public.
Kaiba Seto, who jumped off the Hakuryuu in a graceful manner, took a newspaper handed by Kuurei. On the other hand, he handed over the control device of the plane to Isono who was standing aside and asked him to help him put the The dragon car parked back in the hangar, while looking at the newspaper handed over by Jiu Yuli - she would not do anything meaningless, so it seemed that this newspaper must be about what happened in District 11 during her business trip to the United States and the Haima Group. Big news about the project coming down.
"This is..." Looking at the line of small words specially marked by Jiu Yuli, Kaiba raised the corner of his mouth and frowned, "Huh, interesting... those down-and-out nobles haven't planned to give up yet? Why do the weak want to fight? ? Why don’t many people understand such a simple truth..."
Later, Kaiba handed the newspaper back to Kuu Rei, and during the handover period between Kaiba and Rei, it can be seen that in the line of small characters marked by Kuu Rei, "Umino Akira" and "Jike Lloyd" can be seen. " and other names. If a layman sees these names, they may not think that there is much information. In fact, the newspaper only recorded that at the wedding of an eleventh district actress and a famous European player, This is just a small amount of information about the two people "Umino Akimi" and "Zek Lloyd" having a "happy chat".
But for Seto Kaiba, this is enough - Umino Akimi is one of the new generation representatives of the "Angel Zaibatsu", the chip leader of District 11. Kaiba remembers the time when he acted with Yugi and the others in the United States. "Umino Sachiko" is the cousin of "Umino Akira"; and Zeke Lloyd's background is even greater. It can even be said that there are many old and new grudges between him and Kaiba: Zeke... no , to be precise, there was an arms trade competition between the Lloyd family and the Kaiba family for a long time.
Gustav Lloyd, the father of Jike Lloyd, was once a very famous dealer of death in Europe. Among the world's light infantry equipment providers, those war maniacs, tyrants and warlords had basically heard of it. Two names: Gosaburo and Gustav; these two people who were famous in the arms industry exchanged their numerous bones for almost endless gold mountains.
Later, neither Kaiba Gozaburo nor Gustave Lloyd were satisfied with the profits of light infantry equipment - although these profits were enough for countless people to enjoy for ten lifetimes, compared with those heavy weapons and mechanized equipment , these profits seem too small.
As a result, the two companies almost simultaneously saw a large amount of money injected into the research and development of mechanized equipment such as armored vehicles and armed helicopters; but the market is cruel, especially among death merchants; although Haima Group has also failed several projects , but it didn't break the bones. Soon after, several mechanized equipment that withstood the test were put into production. However, at the same time, Lloyd's side had problems in both development and operation. The former The seemingly inexhaustible mountain of gold had begun to dry up. Unable to withstand such tremendous pressure, Gustav Lloyd committed suicide out of despair one weekend morning.
Kaiba remembered that Gustav's business genius son, Zeke Lloyd, quickly took over his father's position, but by this time the Lloyd family was already heavily in debt and the situation was over, and no genius, no matter how powerful, could reverse such a disadvantage; Jike, who was a lawyer by training, very wisely did not choose to continue to confront the Haima Group in the arms field. Instead, he made a major change in the group after cleverly using legal loopholes to escape the debt crisis. Then he announced his withdrawal from the arms industry and set his sights on Entering the game industry, he made up his mind at the press conference to develop virtual projection technology to make a comeback and come back to life!
However, what you don’t believe is that just when Zeke was concentrating on fighting a lawsuit to escape the debt crisis, on the other side of the world, Seto Kaiba, who came from behind, had already killed his adoptive father Gozaburo Kaiba, and after he came to power, he even It was a mature and reliable technology like "Duel Arena" that was developed quietly.
Everyone should have guessed what happened next: when Jike confidently found Becas with the "Duel Table" developed by himself, he would of course hear the familiar name from Becas's mouth and knew that he had Successfully seize the opportunity and come up with even better things...
It is estimated that Jike's mood at that time can no longer be summed up by an ordinary "hemp".
Later, when the Kaiba Group abandoned the duel field and updated the duel disk, due to the change of chip manufacturer, it was only natural that the "Angel Zaibatsu" who originally produced the duel field chip would be full of complaints about Kaiba's decision...
Representatives of these two organizations, both of which had bad intentions towards the Kaiba Group, got together at this time... The president said that even if he was blind, he could see that a big news was brewing.
"Do we need to take action?" After disposing of the newspaper, Jiu Yuli returned to Kaiba and whispered to him: "If we take action now, we should be able to seize the opportunity."
"No need." Kaiba shook his head silently, and then said confidently: "These old nobles whose thinking is behind the times are always like this. They have a lot of conspiracies and tricks in their minds, and in the end they use the same old methods - I have already made arrangements for this. The most important thing now is not these clowns, but the KC Cup we are about to establish."
Kaiba took off the windbreaker he was wearing outside and handed it to Jiu Yuli. The other party immediately handed Kaiba the suit worn by the chairman of the group; Kaiba put on his clothes skillfully and walked to his office. After opening the door of the office, Kaiba turned to Jiu Yuli and said: "Call Dean Fudo. I think it's time to explain to him why we must adopt a brawl mode to increase workload and management. Difficulty, not the simple and direct competition in the past. "
"Yes!" Jiu Yuli took the order and left, while Kaiba walked into the office and turned on the TV on the wall - the TV in Kaiba's office helps him keep abreast of major events in the world related to duels, technological progress, etc. - and just as the TV was turned on, there was a news report on the sports channel that the champion of the "Mercedes Cup" that just ended two months ago, Yuan Jiu, had received the limited edition "Mercedes Duel Supercar" from the official: when the car is at high speed, a three-dimensional projection of Yuan Jiu's trump card monster "Light Emperor·Chrysler" will appear next to it; if the speed is a little faster, Yuan Jiu's other trump card monster "Evil Emperor·Gaius" will also move forward with the sports car.
"What a great design..." Kaiba looked at the cool sports car with a little fascination, wondering if he could add a similar design to his "Blue Eyes"; or simply design a vehicle equipped with a three-dimensional projection device and a duel disk, so that he could duel while racing... [Although it's very exciting to think about it, it's still very difficult to realize it... This is too unfair to the players with average driving skills: they often hold the steering wheel with both hands, and it's difficult to show their true duel strength if they free up one hand to duel. ]
Just as Kaiba was thinking about this, the door of the office was knocked twice and then pushed open - there were only two people in the entire Kaiba Group who would and dared to do this: Naoki Fudo and Keihei Kaiba.
Sure enough, Kaiba turned his head and saw Naoki Fudo with a crab head walking in with big strides.
