Resurrection Empire

Xiao Xingyue didn't dare to agree, and only said: "Well, I will report to the president like this when I go back."

Ren Zhong: "Okay."

Ren Zhong achieved his goal.He didn't reject Ying Hao, and he also knew that Ying Hao would approve his proposal nine out of ten.After all, Ying Hao was a person 200 years ago, he valued life expectancy very much, and yearned for the world after the Great Migration even more strongly.Since he couldn't sleep because of the turmoil recently, he must be restless in his heart.If he slowed down the pace a little, then during this preparation period, he would naturally be able to fall asleep again without delaying things.

Well, it will take at least several years for Yuanxing Military Industry to complete the series of preparations he mentioned.

Before that, Ren Zhong didn't need to make a choice.

After talking here, Gao Ya knocked on the door again, telling Ren Zhong that Ma Xia Cheng had arrived.

Unlike other participants, Ma Xiacheng is a real power faction.

In addition, his current cooperation with Ren Zhong is also a honeymoon within a honeymoon, and there is nothing to negotiate.

Ren Zhong's fundamental purpose of inviting him here today is actually to let Ma Xiacheng stand on his side and increase his status and weight when negotiating with Tanggu Group and Zijing Mining.

After about two hours, the meeting ended.

Under Ren Zhong's matchmaking, the four leaders of Shenxun Group, Yuanxing Military Industry, Tanggu Group, and Zijing Mining will jointly invest and provide resources to become a shareholder of Ren's Group.

On the surface, it looks like a commercial contract, but in essence it is a multi-party strategic alliance.

The four leading companies are intertwined with each other in other fields, and there are many fields of cooperation, but they never hold shares in a secondary company at the same time, and the combined shareholding of the four leading companies is only 40%, while the other 60% of the shares are is held by Ren Zhong.

In addition, the voting rights of these four companies have also been handed over to Ren Zhong, who still has absolute control over the group, but has given out some nominally dispensable dividend rights.

Does the Nine Dragons need his money?Of course not, what is needed is to bind his own value.

If there is dedication on Ren Zhong's side, of course there will be rewards.

For example, at Amethyst Mining, Ren Zhong will get the source star galaxy grade mineral exploration map held by Amethyst Mining.This huge blueprint marks all the resources explored from the eight major planets and many asteroids in the entire source star system.The metal resources in it have been developed and utilized almost, but there are still a lot of oil and coal resources left idle on the source star.In addition, many hydrogen isotope resources that can be used for nuclear fusion are also idle.

The Yuanxing civilization, which is sitting on starry sky trading materials, has no interest in nuclear fusion energy, and the related technology tree is basically blank, but Ren Zhong, who was born in the 21st century, knows that it is a vast blue ocean that has not yet been exploited.

As for Yuanxing Military Industry, in addition to the personal conditions proposed by Xiao Xingyue, Ying Hao also agreed to hand over the ownership of the waste factory that stored a large number of secondary equipment to Ren Zhong.Ren's Group will use these resources to mass-produce internal combustion engines and various heavy industrial heavy machinery.

As for the Tanggu Group, in addition to the compensation conditions that Ren Zhong had previously negotiated with Tang Youyun, the control rights of more urban resource recycling companies in the First Continent were transferred to Ren Zhong as mortgage assets for the shares.Ren's Group will take this opportunity to continue to expand outwards, forming a staggered trend with the Mengdu Group, which is supporting a large number of agents in the first continent.

This is just the beginning.

In Ren Zhong's mind is a whole set of art of proxy warfare from history books, including hot warfare, but not limited to soft warfare techniques such as cultural warfare, economic warfare, ideological warfare, and public opinion warfare.

As long as his territory can be expanded, he has [-] ways to gradually erode the land that the Mengdu Group has conquered by continuously controlling resources, absorbing population, and so on.

Afterwards, Ren Zhong personally sent everyone to the return airship.

He will return to the Arson Hotel as soon as possible, and next, he will use the contracts he just signed with these four leading companies to pull the Locke Group, the Arson Group, and the Bass Group into the water a little bit.

It may not be possible to turn them into an alliance, but at least make them neutral.

Chapter 385 Infinite Time, Infinite Possibilities

When you are weak, you have to use all your strength to move a brick.

When it is strong, it is easy to move mountains.

……

About 10 minutes later, Ren Zhong met the delegation from the Locke Group.

Unlike the other four companies, Ren Zhong has never dealt with Locke Group.The two parties basically didn't know each other, so there were more people from the Locke Group this time, a total of eight people, five men and three women.

Before Ren Zhong had a lot of dealings with black-haired, black-eyed people of yellow race, he once thought that there were only Chinese people on Yuan Xing.

Later, Ren Zhong met a blond "foreigner" in the barren tribe of Qishan, and he changed his perception, which was definitely due to his limited activity area and insufficient comprehensive cognition.

Later, Ren Zhong visited more people, learned about the situation in towns and cities around the world of Yuanxing, and gradually came into contact with many other races.But in most areas, people with more social resources basically have a Han Chinese surname.

Ren Zhong analyzed the reason, and it should be due to the bloodline inheritance of the nine frozen elders.Later, he got in touch with Hewitt Augustus and confirmed that there were also "foreigners" in the nine major groups.

Of the eight people sitting in front of him now, only two have typical Asian features, while the other six have obvious European and American features.It is surprising that they can speak Mandarin perfectly.

"Hello, Mr. Ren, I am Frederick Locke, Minister of Commerce of Locke Group. These are my assistants..."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with fluffy red hair, a hooked nose, deep-set eye sockets, and a stern look.

Ren Zhong: "Mr. Frederick, hello, hello."

As a source star energy giant, Rock Group has not developed fossil energy and nuclear energy. Its main products are batteries of various specifications. Its main business is to produce, recycle, repair and recharge batteries.As for the source of energy for recharging, according to historical records, before the interstellar trade, the resources of the beasts were basically the main resources. Some of the beasts that can be discharged acted as human generators, and some beast chips became the core components of the battery.However, with the gradual increase in the population of Yuan Xing, the original market animal resources are no longer sufficient for use.

At about this time, the Arson Group brought back from space a large, all-in-one generator, along with a large number of semi-finished parts for ultra-durable battery cells.Since then, under the impact of alien black technology, Locke Group has completed a comprehensive transformation, and built dozens of large-scale rechargeable space stations in space relying on integrated generators.These space stations provide most of the energy needed for the operation of the entire Origin Star civilization.

These powered space stations revolve around the source sun, unattended, and have never failed.The instruction manual provided by the empire also has a clear warning that unauthorized disassembly is prohibited, otherwise there will be a risk of explosion.Locke Group strictly abides by the requirements in the instruction manual and implements the principle of taking it to the extreme.

Frederick opened a file and said, "Mr. Ren Zhong. We have noticed that you are developing internal combustion engines and developing oil and coal resources in large quantities, right?"

Ren Zhong: "Yes. And currently I have reached cooperation with Tanggu Group, Zijing Mining, Yuanxing Military Industry and Shenxun Group."

Frederick: "You said this when you communicated with us two hours ago."

Ren Zhong: "Yes."

Frederick: "But we have different views on this. You should know that you are trying to enter the field of my Locke Group. In fact, even if you don't contact us today, we will find you in two days."

Ren Zhong: "Huh?"

Frederick: "We ask you to stop developing oil and coal resources, stop developing internal combustion engines and steam engines."

Frederick Locke's words are very connotative, not "hope", but "demand", leaving no room for negotiating.

"But the energy quota given by your company is not enough to meet my development needs." Ren Zhong said without changing his expression.

Frederick: "If it is determined that you have a demand, then we can increase your battery quota. As long as you stop developing internal combustion engines."

Ren Zhong asked with a smile: "What if I refuse?"

"Then we're afraid we'll have to completely cut off your battery supply."

Following Frederick's words, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Ren Zhong's face also collapsed, "I can guarantee that I will not sell internal combustion engines, nor will I sell fuel oil and coal to others, only for my own use. This will not affect you, right? Mr. Frederick, you don't think you are too strong Got it? I need a good reason."

Frederick Locke turned his head to a middle-aged woman who seemed to have dyed purple hair.

The woman's name is Riley Lee, a mixed race, and her position is an environmental resource assistant under the Ministry of Commerce.

Riley Lee pulled out a document and projected it on the conference room curtain wall, "According to our estimates, if you exploit and use oil and coal resources in large quantities in the atmosphere, and continue to increase the scale, it will drastically change within five years The air quality of the source star affects the stability of the source star's ecosystem."

"What?" Ren Zhongge couldn't make up his mind on the spot, "Don't all county towns and other civic settlements have canopy systems to ensure air quality? Is there such a thing? Is it possible that you still care about the quality of life of the barren people?"

He thought it was ridiculous.

Under the exploitation of these citizens, it is difficult for barren people to even survive.At this time, a high-ranking citizen suddenly appeared who cared about the air quality, which made Ren Zhong feel extremely absurd.

Riley Lee didn't care about Ren Zhong's astonishment, and just clicked the button to change the screen on the projection screen.In the picture is a statistical table of citizens’ travel destinations, “I’m not talking about deserted people. According to statistics, more than 70% of citizens go out to towns and natural scenic spots every year for vacation. Poor air quality will affect this The health of some citizens."

Ren Zhong: "..."

On a planet where the average life expectancy is only over [-] years old, a person is talking to himself about his health.

There is no need for others to explain the topic here, Ren Zhong has already understood the real intention of the other party.These are all justifications made up by clever names, with the purpose of restricting one's overall development and holding the lifeline of energy in one's hands.

Ren Zhong looked at Frederick Locke again, "Mr. Frederick, is there room for negotiation in this matter? Can you play a decisive role in this matter?"

Frederick was a little unhappy, "Of course."

Ren Zhong suddenly narrowed his eyes, "That is to say, if we have a good negotiation, I can still develop the internal combustion engine, and at the same time get more energy modules from your company?"

Frederick looked at Ren Zhong with stunned eyes: "Are you threatening me? Why should I agree?"

Ren Zhong shrugged his shoulders, "I mean if... if... Is the result I mentioned possible? With your power, Mr. Frederick, can you do it?"

Frederick: "Yes, but it seems that you should calm down for a while."

Ren Zhong took a step back and distanced himself slightly, "Now I am cooperating with Shenxun Group and Yuanxing Military Industry to complete the recovery plan, and they are obliged to solve my worries for the future. I am just a small local wealthy businessman, and I don't care about your company. Make any threats. I think it is you who should calm down, you are too domineering."

Frederick Locke suddenly became nervous.

His intuition told him that something would happen, but his rationality told him that this was in Xiayuanjing City, and he was an eighth-level citizen, no matter how crazy he was, he couldn't do anything to him.

He didn't quite understand where this sense of threat came from.

The next moment, Ren Zhong suddenly exploded a bomb.

Only ear-piercing screams sounded in the room, and Ren Zhong who was holding a dagger had already rushed forward.

Just five seconds later, the sudden attack by Ren Zhong killed all the other seven people in the conference room, leaving only artist Frederick Locke.

Looking at the blood splattered on the wall, Frederick pointed tremblingly at Ren Zhong, "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Even if there is no 'net' now, others will know that you killed us, and you will be sentenced Death penalty! Even if you are related to the recovery plan, you will definitely be sentenced to death! My brother will not let you go!"

Ren Zhong walked in slowly, "Maybe, but I don't care. I just want to chat with you more."

Frederick: "What are you talking about?"

Ren Zhong: "Talk about life. Talk about ideals. Talk about the little secrets in your heart."

About half an hour later, Ren Zhong killed Frederick Locke with a knife.Afterwards, he quietly closed the door of the conference room, returned to the villa at an extremely fast speed, took away the box containing the Chifeng Armor, and went straight to Xiayuanjing City's spaceship dock.

Fifteen minutes later, the alarm sounded loudly at the Arson Hotel, but at this time the heavy responsibility had already driven the personal airship far away.

During this period, he received a communication from Ying Hao.

Ying Hao asked him angrily what he was thinking and why he wanted to destroy his future.But Ying Hao returned the curse, but told Ren Zhong that he would try his best to mediate, and even went to the military headquarters of the association in person, asking the military to capture him alive and not kill him directly.

Afterwards, Ren Zhong also received a notice from Ma Xiacheng, who told him to go to Shendu City as soon as possible.

But Ren Zhong didn't follow Ma Xiacheng's wish to go to Shendu City, but went directly to the small town of Florent on the second continent.

This is one of the many towns he got from the Tang Gu Group just over two hours ago.

As early as that time, Ren Zhong had arranged for Zheng Tian, ​​Yu Jin, Bai Feng, Ma Xiaoling, Chen Hanyu, Shi Lin, Wang Qiao, Hua Yuelan and other elites to set off from Xinghuo Town by fast airship and arrive at the place in advance.

Thanks to Ying Hao's mediation, the orbital gun suspended in the sky did not fire, and Ren Zhong drove the airship away from Xiayuanjing City for nearly [-] kilometers.

Afterwards, he lowered the altitude, threw the airship on the spot, and flew forward only by installing additional propulsion devices and the Red Front Armor with several energy modules installed.

Fortunately, the Red Front Armor has a transformation function, which can be switched to a low wind resistance mode. When it really sprints with all its strength, its speed is not much slower than that of an airship.

When the Yuanxing Special Forces found the airship, Ren Zhong had successfully joined several other people in the small town of Florence.

Spreading out the map, Ren Zhong pointed to the city of Arson, which is only a thousand kilometers away from the town of Florence, and said: "You have only one mission, find a way to send me into this city. I will solve some things in it .”

As a senior assassin, Wang Qiao shook his head again and again, "It's unrealistic. This is the capital of the Arson Group. Even without the 'net', the city of Arson has accumulated the most alien goods, and its defensive strength is second only to the source. Beijing City. No one can sneak in silently, or even if you sneak in and cause trouble inside, it is impossible to escape unharmed."

Ren nodded, "Well, I know."

Wang Qiao: "Then you still go?"

"If you don't try it, who will know the result? Don't forget, the key to the recovery plan is still in our hands. Hua Yuelan, has the jammer been adjusted?"

With that said, Ren Zhong looked to the other side.

Hua Yuelan, who was standing next to a huge machine about two meters high, hummed, and introduced: "The Arson Group has partially connected to the new network. I can indeed infiltrate our Monternet, and properly interfere and deceive The security monitoring system at the entrance and exit of the city gate."

Ren Zhong nodded slightly, "Okay, then I need you to do two things. Chen Hanyu, you have to restore your original appearance and show up in the satellite county next to Arson City. You guys are responsible for protecting Chen Hanyu's safety. As for me, I will ambush an airship that flies out of the city of Arson. When I move over there, you immediately go to the town of Florence and wait for me to meet. After the meeting, Chen Han said that you will change my appearance to The appearance of the citizen I attacked. Then I approached Arson City, and when I was about to enter the city, Hua Yuelan, you activated the interference in time to reduce the performance of the security monitoring system."

After he finished arranging these, others asked him how he planned to come out and how he would respond.

Ren Zhong thought for a while, then looked at Zheng Tian, ​​and said again: "Ying Hao once wanted me to be his army commander, and I will tell him, in fact, you, Yu Jin and Hu Yang combined are better than me. "

He didn't answer the question.

But everyone understood his intention.

He is asking for help.

Zheng Tian was shocked, "This is not..."

Ren Zhong interrupted her, "This is an order and must be carried out."

Another two hours passed, and Ren Zhong, who was not wearing any equipment but only wearing civilian uniform, was undergoing a manual security check by the guards at the entrance of Arson City.

At this time, he had already learned from Monternet that the Yuanxing army had completed the takeover of Ren's Group, and was looking for many high-level officials who fled early.

"Okay, Mr. Liu, go in quickly, there are more and more people queuing up outside. What the hell, why are there so many people leaving the city suddenly, and there is something wrong with the equipment."

With his head held high, Ren Zhong strode into Arson City with an arrogant look, before disappearing in the darkness.

Ten minutes later, he caught up with Xiao Xingyue who had been waiting here for a long time.

When Xiao Xingyue met, she immediately reprimanded, "What the hell are you thinking? Do you know who Frederick Locke is?"

Ren Zhong: "I know."
