Chapter XXIV

"It's really boring, a bunch of politicians are pulling each other out of bounds, it's really the most boring thing in the world."

Turning off the light brain casually, when the noisy fly-like sound disappeared from his ears, Yun Yi couldn't help but moan. The picture shown by the light brain before was the second round of negotiations between Qin Shou and the Chu Tang royal family. As a representative of the royal family, Cai Hongzhang made some concessions, but he was still a lot worse than Qin Shou's psychological position, and then the two sides began to argue, from big conditions to some subtle places, as long as there are disputes, the two parties simply do not give an inch.

Qin Shou sat there, the old god was there, and he easily didn't speak. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he hit the point, and the powerful attack power made the royal family representatives speechless countless times. If Qin Shou's sharp words were still in Yun Yi's expectations, Cai Hongzhang's fierce counterattack made Yun Yi never expect that this son of a big clan who was born in reincarnation would also have an advantage in argumentation that he could not match. In the whole venue, it was simply the performance of Qin Shou and Cai Hongzhang. While it may be wonderful for those politicians, for Yun Yi is an unconscious torture, as if countless flies are buzzing in his ears. If he hadn't wanted to capture something he wanted to know from the talks between the two sides, I'm afraid he would have turned off his light brain a long time ago.

The outcome of the meeting, as in the first meeting, continued without any substantive progress.

In Yun Yi's opinion, Cai Hongzhang and Chu Xiuling are stupid, obviously eager to form an alliance with Qin Shou, but they have been biting those conditions and refusing to let go. Yun Yi doesn't know that this is politics, how to grasp the other party, and increase his bargaining chips as much as possible on the basis that the negotiations will not cause a breakdown.

Getting up and going to the next room, Hiluffis was still asleep on the bed. However, Yun Yi was not worried, every hour he would check it with his internal breath, and Xilufeth's internal breath seemed extremely active after she fell asleep, even if she didn't urge it, it had been flowing according to the line of the exercises that Xilufith had practiced.

Yun Yi estimated that by the time she woke up, her martial arts cultivation had almost risen by two or three levels, and it should not be a problem to reach the fourth level of innate existence.

After checking her body as usual, Yun Yi returned to his room, closed the door, and he shouted, "Sakura-chan, have you found Chu Xiuxian's location?" ”

After half a ring, no one answered, Yun Yi couldn't help but walk up to the light brain and shouted, "Sakura-chan, if you're like this, don't want me to agree to you playing games in the future!" ”

"Ah, boss, you're here." Sakura's voice seemed a little uneasy, as an artificial intelligence, her first criterion was to unconditionally carry out the orders of those who had permissions. If Yun Yi didn't allow her to play the game, no matter how desperate Sakura was, she wouldn't go.

Yun Yi sat in front of the light brain, supported his head with one hand, and said slowly: "I said Sakura, why have you become obsessed with playing games lately?" Why haven't I heard you talk about this hobby before? ”

"The game is very fun, just now our team of forty people successfully pushed off the ultimate boss of the Liuyun Tomb copy, this is the first time in the world to knock down this boss, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Internet to check it." Sakura's voice seemed excited.

Yun Yi was slightly surprised, and said, "Isn't it true that if you play games with those players, they won't know your identity?" ”

Sakura grinned and said, "I'm pretending to be so good, how would they know." Also, there are a few boys in the team who like me very much, and one of them even says they want to fall in love with me. ”

What is this? A small step for Sakura? A big step forward for artificial intelligence? Or is it the forbidden love affair between humans and machines?

Yun Yi was sweating and said busily: "Love? You're not really going to like that guy, are you? ”

"Cut...... Am I so blind? [Sakura]'s voice seemed to be very disdainful: "I've seen the stereoscopic image of that guy, although he looks a little handsome, but it's not as good as one-ten-thousandth of the boss, even if you want to find it, you have to find the boss like this." ”

"Uh......" Yun Yi couldn't help but pray for the guy who fell in love with artificial intelligence, and after a moment, he said, "It's okay to play the game, but you have to make sure that the task I gave you can't go wrong, understand?" ”

"Don't worry, boss, please rest assured of my ability, there will be no problems." [Sakura] said confidently: "By the way, boss, I see that you are quite boring these days, so you might as well play with me." I'm a level 80 sword immortal, so there's absolutely no problem with me. ”

Yun Yi threw a roll of his eyes at the light: "When did you see me bored?" I'm going to be busy these days. After a pause, he suddenly asked, "By the way, what game are you playing, I remember that Chang'an Yixing doesn't seem to have a game server, right?" ”

"Oh, what is it called a game called "Xianxia Love". I logged in directly to the Chutang server, and I didn't play in Chang'an One Star. ”

"Chutang server?" Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, he remembered that because of the delay of the interstellar network, basically the servers were all planet-level, that is, one server per planet. Even two planets next to each other can be unbearable due to excessive latency.

"Remember, aren't you worried about delays?"

"That's right, it's the Chutang server." Sakura thought for a moment and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, I remembered." Isn't the one I used to transmit the signal the artificial wormhole I saw with my boss in Shushan Star before? ”

"What!" Yun Yi stood up violently, and his face changed instantly: "You mean...... Chang'an Yixing already has an artificial wormhole? ”

[Sakura] was also surprised: "Doesn't the boss know?" I saw the boss working on artificial wormholes before I evolved, and this time I saw it, and I thought it was the wormhole communication network that the boss made, but it turned out that the boss didn't know. ”

Yun Yi was stunned, could it be that the blue sky has quietly paved the artificial wormhole to Chang'an? I remember that Lin Jiaoyang only allowed Lantian's network company to enter the Chu Tang Empire two months ago, and it was only limited to the five and a half star domains controlled by Lin Jiaoyang. The Chang'an system has always been controlled by the Chu and Tang royal families, how did Lan Tian lay the wormhole here?

Thinking of this, he tried to connect to the blue sky through the communicator, but the connection was not successful, thinking that the distance was too far.

"Sakura-chan, you remember the blue sky. Let's see if you can connect me to that guy through an artificial wormhole. ”

"No problem!"

After less than five seconds, Sakura's voice rang out, "Boss, the connection has been successful." ”

The light brain in front of Yun Yi lit up, and soon, the blue sky appeared on the screen, but he looked a little overwhelmed.

"Hey, boss!" Lan Tian screamed, then lowered his head and quickly pressed something with both hands: "This is impossible, how did you contact me?" It's weird, boss, you actually sent a message from Chang'an Yixing through an artificial wormhole? ”

Yun Yi glared at him and said, "I said Lan Tian, how did you spread the artificial wormhole to the Chang'an Department." ”

"Isn't it that Old Man Lin has already agreed to our company laying a signal network in Chutang?"

"That's right." Yun Yi gritted his teeth and said, "But I didn't agree with you laying the signal network to the Chang'an system, right?" You don't want to think about it, the Chang'an Department is now in the hands of the Chu Tang royal family, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at all, you tell me, how did you get into the Chang'an Department, and how did you lay an artificial wormhole under the noses of others? ”

Yun Yi's anger is not because Lan Tian laid the artificial wormhole of the Chang'an system without permission, but because he was worried that the people of the blue sky would be discovered after entering the Chang'an system. Now that there are people in the Reincarnation and Dragon Slaying Society, if they are allowed to discover the blue sky, then the blue sky and his team may no longer have freedom to speak of, and I am afraid that their lives will be in danger. After all, artificial wormholes are a technology that the four major organizations have not mastered.

"It turns out that the boss is worried about this." Lan Tian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought why Yun Yi was angry with him. Smiling, he said, "I said that you, the boss, don't care too much about the company's business." ”

Yun Yi was stunned by what he said, and he really didn't care much about these businesses. However, several companies under his command have already become regular, and with the business genius of Lan Tian to take care of him, he has nothing to worry about.

"Looks like I should tell you a little bit about our laying process." Lan Tian said: "Basically, we will build a star-level central data transfer and processing platform in each star field, and this platform uses a few to hundreds of large central optical brains for computing according to the number of users. As long as the central platform is built, our laying team only needs to calculate the absolute spatial coordinates of the planet, and can directly open up this wormhole through energy infusion from the end of the central platform. ”

That is to say...... You don't have to enter Chang'anxing at all, you only need to know the coordinates of the planets in the Chang'an system, and you can complete the laying of the wormhole? Yun Yi asked blankly.

"That's right." Lan Tian nodded and continued: "But this is only the most basic work, we still need someone to install a signal processing system at the exit of the wormhole, so that it can be completed." However, this job is very simple, and the company also has people in the Chang'an department, so you can complete it by sending some casually. ”

"I see." After Lan Tian's explanation, Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief. It is no wonder that the blue sky can lay the information network of several countries so quickly, and it only needs to set up a central platform in each area to completely radiate to all the planets around it.

"That's right, boss." Lan Tian said with a puzzled face: "It has been less than a week since we opened the wormhole in Chang'an One Star, how do you know that we can still make a signal connection?" ”

"This ......" Yun Yi was speechless for a while, he didn't want [Sakura] to be exposed in front of others. With a roll of his eyes, Yun Yi decided to change the topic and say: "My hacking skills, it is not difficult to find this at all. Blue sky, I want to ask, there is an online game of "Xianxia Love", is it operated by our company? ”

"That's right, this game was only put on sale after I went to buy that game company myself two months ago." Lan Tian, who was successfully diverted from the topic, said suspiciously: "Why does the boss suddenly care about this?" ”

"Acquisitions? Why acquire. Isn't it okay to have online games all as direct agents? ”

Looking at the puzzled cloud wings, Lan Tian explained: "Our current network users have spread to five or six thousand planets in six or seven countries. With this huge number of users, no matter what game we represent, even the most rubbish is enough for us to make a lot of money. However, in this case, it is necessary to return a portion of the revenue to the game production company in the form of a share. So I directly acquired a fairly good company, and I have asked a lot of people to evaluate their "Xianxia Love", which can be said to be the most promising game in the universe today. In this way, no matter how much revenue we have, we don't have to share it with the game company. ”

"I see." Yun Yi couldn't help but secretly admire, it seems that in business, he is indeed inferior to the blue sky.

"Alright, nothing more. You go ahead and get busy. Yun Yi was about to hang up as he spoke, and the blue sky over there hurriedly shouted: "Wait for the boss." ”

"How?"

The blue sky on the screen squirmed and said, "What's that...... Boss, do you still have any money over there? ”

"What!" Yun Yi exclaimed, "What about the tens of billions I brought you last time I came back from the Myah Kingdom? ”

"Both...... It's almost all spent. Lan Tian shouted bitterly over there: "Boss, don't you know, although the materials needed to lay artificial wormholes are not as good as rare minerals in terms of price, our amount is too large, and during this time, the two major countries of Chutang and New America have been fighting frequently, and the price of materials has risen too fast......

"This ......" Yun Yi is also a big head, he knew that this was the case, and the 80 billion he got from Sampras would not be given to Lin Jiaoyang first. It's a pity that now that everything is finished, he can only wave his hand helplessly and say: "Okay, I know about this matter, and I will find a way to go back." How much is the funding gap on your side? ”

Lan Tian thought about it for a while, and then said: "Now our wormhole has successfully completed the laying work in nine countries and regions: Lekima, Maloesena, Berwick, Leland, Xiaochen, Ketra, Kemp, Orly and Chutang. In the next step, I plan to lay in the five countries of Eltavier, Curica, Otto, Gato and Santa Carinha in the west, and in the east, it will be laid in the southeast countries including Cologne Business Alliance, Yangming Kingdom, Van Rill Republic, Rolag, Porso Colorado, Wuyi, Goldland, Maiach, etc., and it is expected that when the second phase of laying work is completed, half of the countries in the southern universe will be under the cover of our company's network! ”

"Okay, okay, just tell me how much it will cost to get this done." Yun Yi shouted impatiently.

Lan Tian secretly glanced at Yun Yi and whispered a number.

"Three hundred billion!" Yun Yi was almost frightened to the ground, fortunately, he had just advanced to the fourth level of the innate level, and his heart was a lot calmer, so he was not frightened by the lion in the blue sky, but he was also stunned, and couldn't help but roar: "Are you planning to let me rob the Universe Bank?" ”

Lan Tian was startled by the roar of the cloud wings, and he knew that this figure was a bit scary, but in fact, with the current level of price increases, this figure would have risen by at least ten percent or so.

"Actually, boss, this figure is just the money needed to complete the laying work. The nine countries that have now completed the laying work have already started to make a profit, and although it is not much, the upward momentum is strong. Therefore, part of these 300 billion words can be supplemented with the current profit income. ”

Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he was a little curious, how much income is needed to supplement the 300 billion investment.

"How much do we earn each month now?" Yun Yi asked, in fact, he had more to do with income than Lan Tian. With hundreds of billions of investment, he has now begun to make a profit, and as the big boss Yun Yi who invested, I am afraid he is the one he cares about the most.

Lan Tian tapped a few times on the light brain and said, "Now our network has completed the laying of all habitable planets in the other eight countries except for Chu Tang. And Chu Tang has also completed the laying of the four star fields of Hanzhou, Weizhou, Zhongzhou, and Xingzhou, and among the other four star fields, except for the Songzhou star field, which is under the control of Qin Shou and cannot be entered, the other three star fields are expected to be completed within a month and a half. In terms of current income, Leland's income is the highest, because the laying was completed earlier, and the Leland government spared no effort to help us promote, and now Leland's monthly income is 4.6 billion. followed by the Lekima government, at 2.1 billion; The third is the Berwick government, which is 1.9 billion ...... In total, the monthly income is now about 13 billion. And that number is steadily rising at a rate of 30 percent per month. It is expected that after all the star fields of Chutang are laid, there will be a blowout development. ”

"Thirteen billion ...... ...... a month" Yun Yi muttered these two numbers, as if he couldn't believe it: "You mean, we can recover all the investment in half a year?" ”

"Maybe it won't take half a year." Lan Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Now that our network has just been laid, many people don't know much about this thing, and for most people, it is completely unthinkable for people from other planets to communicate with people tens of thousands of light-years away without delay." Now most of our income is concentrated in online games, but unfortunately we can only get our hands on two or three games now, among which "Xianxia Love" is the best one. I also wanted to buy a few more game companies, but it took too long to make a great game, so I ......"

Yun Yi thought silently, judging from the income of these companies under his command now, the monthly income is probably less than five billion. Moreover, the money will also be used to support the Tadun Academy, the acquisition of rare mineral deposits from the planet NW-AL0083, and the construction of a large mining and metallurgical company in the Kingdom of Mayah. In addition to this part of the expenses, the monthly income is about more than two billion. It's simply not enough to solve the problem under the blue sky.

"I see, I'll figure it out."

Turning off the communicator, Yun Yi sat on the sofa and looked at the ceiling in a daze.

Although Blue Sky said that the 300 billion does not need to be taken out at once. With the profitability of the network company, now it only needs to take out 800 to 100 billion yuan to start construction smoothly. When Chu Tang's network is completed, it is expected that the monthly income will reach two or three hundred billion, and there will be no shortage of money at that time. Yunyi didn't think about letting Lan Tian reduce the speed of construction, but Lan Tian told him that not many people in the network know now, and if he could complete negotiations with those countries earlier, he could lower a lot of conditions on the other side by taking advantage of the fact that they didn't know the power of the network. Take the Republic of Oli as an example, Blue Sky directly spent 100 million gold dollars to bribe those officials, and got a contract that lasted for 100 years, and the company only needs to pay the Republic of Oli 5% of its income in the country every year, which is simply the same as grabbing it for nothing.

"Where are I going to get the money?" Yun Yi couldn't help but moan.

At this time, Sakura's voice sounded in his ears: "Boss, boss, I have a good way to increase the company's income, do you want to listen?" ”
