MTL - I Plunder Endlessly In the Interstellar Age-Chapter 374 strategic cooperation
"Coming?" Matthews frowned slightly, not seeming particularly happy.
Then he looked around and found Woodrow's existence: "Why are you so fast? Shouldn't it be a few days?"
To be honest, when he stayed here, he didn't feel like returning home, but wanted to continue watching.
So Woodrow's arrival didn't make him overly happy, and there was a faint sense of loss as if he had lost something.
"Director, let me take you back. I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I jumped a few times."
"And the chief director and the second director also asked me to deliver something to you in person. Next, you will discuss cooperation with Beiliang on behalf of the Mark Group..." Woodlow repeated what he said before.
At the same time, he was a little confused by Matthews' expression and attitude.
Obviously he will be released from house arrest soon, but why doesn't his boss look very happy?
"Thank you, give it to me." Matthews nodded without saying much.
Woodrow also quickly took out something that looked like glasses from his arms and handed it to Matthews.
After Matthews put it on, he didn't move, as if he was looking at something seriously.
"What is this? Chen Han?" Ning Bai tugged at the corner of Chen Han's clothes, a little confused.
Chen Han shook his head, expressing that he was not clear either.
"Holographic glasses, a prop that often appears in commercial use."
"Certain data will be recorded in it, such as a paragraph, related models, drawings, etc. After wearing it, only I can see and hear it."
"Because it's relatively hidden, it can be unlocked by specifying a hole, so it will appear on special occasions like this." Mu Qianye explained softly to everyone.
In the case of a long distance on the interstellar, the communication cannot be real-time, and it takes too long to wait for the connection.
Generally, there are special secret messages, but this thing will be much more convenient.
Everyone also showed a look of sudden realization, secretly sighing that the Hardison galaxy is indeed a third-level civilization galaxy, and they have never seen anything they just took out.
A few minutes later, Matthews seemed to have finished reading the contents of the holographic glasses, and slowly took them off.
Immediately afterwards, a wisp of white smoke came out of the glasses, probably some kind of protection program, and the data had been completely destroyed.
Before Chen Han could speak, Matthews came over first, opened Tianxun, and pulled out a small virtual screen: "Your Excellency, this is the list of goods we brought over this time, please check it first."
Just one sentence lifted Chen Han's spirits. He really cared about this most.
The same was true for Mu Qianye and the others, all of them turned their attention to the screen.
You can see that it is full of information such as the level, type, and quantity of warships.
At the top are three Alpha-class battleships, two Assault and one Escort.
Below are a hundred heavy cavalry-class warships, most of which are assault and escort, with only a small number of cruisers and battleships.
There are also the same number of energy-level weapons attached, including types I, II, and III, plus some heavy weapons.
These are all orders requested by Chen Han. Before that, he ordered ten Alpha-class ships and four hundred Heavy Cavalry-class ships from the Mark Group.
The Mark Group promised to divide the shipment into two batches, but now it should only provide one-third.
Below that is the last part of the order of Prison Qi, all of which are Executioners and Crusaders, and there are quite a lot of them.
However, after reading the list, instead of being happy, Chen Han frowned slightly: "The things you gave are not sincere enough, are you afraid that I won't give you money?"
He doesn't mean that the number of these warships is small, and it is enough to give one third.
But the quality of these warships is difficult to satisfy.
It is mainly reflected in the type. Assault and Guard are relatively cheap in the same level. One Alpha-class battlecruiser is almost enough to buy two Alpha-class Assaults.
Chen Han originally thought that there must be dozens of cruisers and battleships, but now the traffic is still relatively large.
In addition, the energy-level weapons in the list are mostly type I and type II, and type III is only a small amount.
It can be felt that the Mark Group is more perfunctory with Beiliang's order this time, as if it was coping with it, and it didn't handle it well.
As veterans in the business world, Matthews and Woodrow could of course hear the meaning of Chen Han's words, and their hearts tightened.
"That's not the case, Your Excellency. When you placed the order, the time was already very tight. We could only deliver the existing goods. We didn't deliberately pick some worthless ones..." Woodlow explained quickly.
In fact, they were really afraid that Chen Han would not give the money, so they wanted to take some cheap things first and get them there.
After learning about the strength of Beiliang on the way, it was too late to replace the goods, so now I can only bite the bullet and explain.
Chen Han didn't speak, he was not a fool, how could he not understand what the Mark Group did.
It's just that, the quality of the warship is not enough, and Beiliang's plan to deal with the planetary fortress of the Tianhe system will be more difficult to implement. This is what worries him.
Matthews also knew that they were in the wrong, so he took two steps forward: "Your Excellency, this time the goods are indeed inappropriate and cannot meet your requirements."
"But I promise, when I go back, I will personally supervise the work, and the second batch of goods will satisfy you."
He already understands Chen Han's character very well now, explaining 10,000 sentences is better than acknowledging the problem directly.
And Beiliang doesn't like ink marks, their business style doesn't work here.
I have to say that Matthews has not been in vain for more than a month. After these words came out, Chen Han's slightly frowning brows began to loosen.
After a pause for a few seconds, I slowly opened my mouth: "I don't need so many assault ships and frigates, next time I will get more cruises and battle lines."
"There are also energy-level weapons. Pick me the one with the strongest firepower. The more powerful the better, don't worry about energy consumption."
"Especially the Alpha-class warships, it's best to find battlecruisers and the like, at least heavy ones, I won't waste your money."
He just wants to strengthen now, and nothing else is considered.
The funds raised by the United Front are increasing every day, and it is already more than ten or twenty trillion yuan.
If it wasn't for the fear that the strength of the ship division would not be able to keep up, he would have wanted to get more and higher-level ones.
"Understood, Your Excellency, I will definitely get it done." Matthews nodded quickly, and he was relieved.
He knew that since Chen Han said so, the matter was over.
"Your group is so secretive, you must have something to discuss with Beiliang, right?" Mu Qianye copied a list and sent it to Eleven for calculation, then pointed to the holographic glasses in Matthews' hand, Speak softly.
"Sit down first." Chen Han returned to the reception table, picked up the wine bottle, and poured several glasses in a row, as if ready to negotiate.
Mu Qianye sat next to Chen Han, and Matthews and Woodrow sat down on both sides in sequence.
"It's like this, Your Excellency. After our group's internal discussion, we agreed to carry out in-depth strategic cooperation with Beiliang or the United Front." After taking a deep breath, Matthews spoke with a serious face.
"Oh? Agreed?" Chen Han was slightly surprised, and even stopped pouring the wine.
The matter of strategic cooperation was brought up by him last time, but the Mark Group didn't agree or refuse at that time, so it probably needs to be considered.
After all, strategic cooperation is different from ordinary cooperation, it is equivalent to an ally.
Ordinary cooperation is just a simple business, strategic cooperation is to share weal and woe.
At that time, the Mark Group was stronger than Beiliang in every aspect, and being an ally with Beiliang would not gain any benefits, but would actually hold back and be easily implicated.
Combining all kinds of things, the Mark Group actually has no such idea.
Chen Han was not in a hurry, he just mentioned it, it didn't matter if it was successful or not.
But with the movement of Beiliang in the Tianhe system, the Mark Group saw potential, or a possibility.
After repeated discussions, they made this rather difficult decision, betting on Beiliang's future.
The bet is right, if Beiliang can become the master of the Tianhe system, then their group will undoubtedly make a big deal, and the money they will make will be immeasurable.
If the bet is wrong, they in the Hudson galaxy will not suffer disaster.
As long as the harvest is higher than the cost of the business, it is profitable for the businessman.
"That's it, Your Excellency, we will form a strategic alliance with Beiliang, and all strategic materials will be supplied to Beiliang first."
"Such as battleships and energy-level weapons, as long as we can get them, we will definitely send them to you."
"And the price can be kept to a minimum without any additional shipping charges."
"But we also have a small request..." At the end, Matthews' voice began to weaken.
He is supportive of the strategic cooperation with Beiliang.
During the time I was in captivity, I also thought about this question.
As the person closest to Beiliang in the group, he could clearly see Beiliang's strength and potential.
It's just that there are some things he said that don't count.
If he said this directly to the group, he might be mistaken for a traitor by the group.
Now that the group has offered to propose it, he is very happy to see it.
So how to talk about it next, and how to talk about it well, is his task.
"Tell me." Chen Han nodded.
For the mutual benefit of the alliance, the Mark Group has given so much convenience, and they must have to pay something.
As long as it doesn't involve the bottom line, he can actually accept it.
After all, Mark Group's phrase "supply to Beiliang first" is too tempting.
"There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it straight."
"I know what your Excellency said about assisting law enforcement in federal management is just a cover, and the ultimate goal is to control the entire Tianhe system."
"And now most of the Milky Way is in your hands, and it's only a matter of time before you can fully control it."
"After the Tianhe system is taken down, there will be a lot of waste to be done. Your Excellency must need a lot of supplies that the Tianhe system does not have."
"We hope that when your Excellency buys from the outside world, regardless of anything, you will give priority to the Mark Group." Matthews looked at Chen Han with a serious face, and also showed the momentum of one of the three directors of the Mark Group .
When it comes to the interests of the group, he will not be timid or give in.
"This is no problem, even if you don't say it, we will." Chen Han nodded.
He understood what Matthews meant, that is, in addition to arms, the Mark Group also wanted to contract other material orders from the Tianhe system.
After all, in terms of arms, they gave Beiliang a lot of profits, but they didn't earn enough, so they had to rely on other aspects to earn back.
Chen Han doesn't care about this. The Mark Group is a commercial organization, not a charity organization. It has to let others make money.
Mu Qianye next to him also nodded. There are some ores that are not available in the Tianhe system and must be purchased from other galaxies.
Anyway, this money is for everyone, so it's better to give it to someone who is more friendly with them.
"In addition, Your Excellency, after your side rules the entire Milky Way system, we hope to fully open it to the Mark Group, allowing us to enter every star port, collect and sell goods, and we will pay the relevant taxes normally." Matthews said. When Chen Han agreed, he quickly added a sentence.
But these words instantly made Chen Han and Mu Qianye narrow their eyes.
If they can accept the previous request of the Mark Group, then this is somewhat problematic.
It is fully open and settled in all star ports. With the financial and material resources of Mark Group, it is estimated that it will soon be able to monopolize the market of all planets.
At that time, it will not take ten years, and the Mark Group will become the second Aoshi Group, sucking the blood of the entire Milky Way system.
And it is the Aoshi Group with a stronger background, and the subsequent problems will be very serious.
It seems that the previous ones are all pretense, and this is the real purpose of the Mark Group.
While Beiliang wants to expand, Mark Group also wants to fully open up the Tianhe system market.
After looking at each other with Mu Qianye, Chen Han slowly picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip of the distilled wine, and looked up at Matthews: "Before talking about this, I have to make one thing clear to you. thing."
"Beiliang's rule of the Tianhe system is not just by force. Related businesses will also be involved, and they are already doing it."
"If you want to settle in normally, I hope Beiliang can leave you a channel or a place. This is no problem, and we welcome it."
"But if you compete with Beiliang for the market and harm Beiliang's interests, that's not okay, you will probably be wiped out."
"You have to think about this. If you want to make money, Beiliang can make it for you."
"It's not a good choice to settle in the Tianhe system. Maybe there will be no return~www.novelbuddy.com~ When he said this, Chen Han kept looking into Matthews' eyes, as if he was showing goodwill reminder.
However, whether it is the eyes or the tone, one can feel the threat and warning in it.
This also made Matthews slightly terrified, and nodded: "What we need is only a channel to communicate with the Tianhe system, which will not harm the interests of Beiliang, Your Excellency."
Of course he knew what Chen Han meant and Beiliang's style, these people could only swallow but not spit.
Although the board of directors of the group really meant to seize the Tianhe market in the holographic glasses, but he knew that this was impossible.
It's not even allowed to even have this idea, Bei Liang will always be on guard, and he must have a good discussion with his superiors about this after he returns.
Now we can only follow Chen Han's words, take a step back, and talk about the strategic cooperation first.
