Chapter 452 Hardcore Negotiation
"Oh, Mr. Opal, you have come to Pinocchio. You must be exhausted from the long journey. I hope the hospitality on the Hibiscus can wash away your fatigue."
The iconic laughter rang out in the banquet hall. Old Otti, the representative of the five local Pinocchio families, stroked his goat-like white beard and entertained the distinguished guest from the Strategic Investment Department as politely as possible.
There is no other reason. Because of Yao Luo's behavior, the family's credibility in Pinoconi has been greatly reduced. The company will certainly not let go of this opportunity. It holds on to the "safety issues in dreams" and uses the experience of the gold sand as a starting point to publicize the family's security loopholes.
At this moment, the five major families are undoubtedly the weaker party.
Fortunately, the family reacted promptly. Almost at the moment when Taiyi's dream collapsed, they dispatched family members from other planets to take over the power of the five major families, and put all the blame on Sunday and the dream master Gophimu.
Almost all members of the Oak family, regardless of gender, age, marginal or inside, were severely oppressed and unwarrantedly accused, bearing the public's anger for this incident.
This anger even extended to the Tianhuan clan, and even the sales of Robins records were affected to a small extent, and this was when the family intended to eliminate the connection between Robins and Sunday.
"Mr. Odi, there's no need for polite words. This time the company sent our Strategic Investment Department to handle this matter. The integrity of your assets must naturally be protected and treated preferentially, right?"
Although Opal's voice was childish, the power emanating from his small body was more powerful than any of the ten Stoneheart men before.
The respect shown to Old Emperor in his words was only superficial, and more of it was a kind of indifference as if facing an antique that was not worth much.
"According to Diamond's order, the person our strategic investment department wants to discuss cooperation with is a man named Yao Luo. If Mr. Aodi can provide relevant information, Opal will be very grateful."
Opal held the diamond-shaped pacifier at the side of his mouth with one hand and swung it back and forth carelessly, as if he was going to throw away all the red tape and the pacifier in the next second.
Scanning his eyes back and forth, looking for the protagonist of the incident, Opal knew that compared to the old man in front of him who was hypocritically wrapping his enthusiasm, the "man" mentioned by Emerald before was the more important person.
[Yao Luo, suspected of having multiple personalities, each personality has a different destiny tendency, and each has a high destiny power.
Known destiny: memory, hunting, joy, unknown purple special imaginary energy, etc.
Faction: Star Train
Experience: He first left his history on the Yalilo VI, became the "Memory" Envoy in the 2158th century, then joined the Starry Sky Train, and later seized the "Hunting" destiny power on the Immortal Boat Luofu, and repelled the company's archenemy, Foen Feng, and displayed multiple Envoy-level powers on Pinoconi.
Danger level: Very high
Company evaluation: If they are being wooed with all their might, you can take corresponding measures to find out the reasons for their strength, but you should not become their enemy unless it is necessary.
Reading authority: Staff members above level p35 are only allowed to know its existence, and staff members above level p40 are eligible to read this report. 】
Opal recalled the report, with a rare look of caution in his eyes. The name Yao Luo had been a hot figure in the company as early as the Xianzhou period, and many people wanted to bring him into the Interstellar Peace Company.
Unfortunately, a fool in the marketing department messed it all up.
After receiving the news that the Starry Sky Train was heading to Pinocchio, Diamond's attention to Pinocchio increased by several orders of magnitude.
During the conversation, Old Emperor Ao put his hands to his ears and narrowed his eyes. The family's spies brought news that General Jing Yuan had entered the conference hall before the two of them.
"Idiot! Where's the other person? Hasn't the Rememberer who spread the news been found yet? According to the intelligence network, he should be next to the General Shen Ce right now!"
Old Emperor Ao cursed in his heart. Before meeting Opal, he clearly saw in his intelligence network that the man named Yao Luo was standing next to Jing Yuan, talking and laughing. He also ordered his men to delay the two people's speed to the banquet hall. Unexpectedly...
What Old Aodi didn't know was that the subordinates he ordered did intend to carry out the mission diligently and conscientiously, but the moment they had unfavorable thoughts about Yao Luo, they lost the relevant memory.
The family members who were originally used to stop Yao Luo and Jing Yuan all had confused eyes at that moment. They stood there at a loss, not knowing why they were here. When they saw General Jing Yuan, they even subconsciously thought that they were the reception staff welcoming Jing Yuan and Yao Luo, and instead tried their best to show the way for the two.
And all of this is just something that Yao Luo can do subconsciously now.
The door to the meeting room opened, and the visitors in the banquet room suddenly became quiet, because they knew that the decision made in this room would determine the future of Pinocchio.
The moment Old Odi and Opal walked into the conference room, the air suddenly became heavy and time seemed to freeze, as if a mountain was pressing down on the two of them.
"Om-!"
The tinnitus made an unbearable buzzing sound, the bones made tiny sounds, and even the eyelids became heavy.
All this happened just because a strange man was sitting unceremoniously at the head seat, his eyes casually glancing towards the two of them.
A glance turned into a heavy, suffocating breath of oppression, which made Old Emperor's body stiff on the spot.
Opal's demeanor was much stronger than that of Old Emperor O. His expression froze for a moment, but he quickly reacted and looked at the person sitting at the long table in the center of the conference hall.
Every strand of hair is a colorful white, floating in the air as if with life, and the skin is as delicate and smooth as jade, but full of resilience and indestructible.
With a pair of slightly narrowed eyes, an infinite Milky Way flows through the gaps between the eyes. The deep light makes the entire space quiet, making it impossible for ordinary people to look directly at it.
Yao Luo's aura now is more like the incarnation of some kind of rules that has descended upon the earth rather than being a human. Even if an ancient beast were resurrected, it would not be more terrifying than Yao Luo now.
"sit down."
With just two simple words, the two men's bodies almost unconsciously executed Yao Luo's orders. The body's instinct overwhelmed the speed of neurons transmitting commands, and they completed the task first.
"But, it's terrible!"
Old Emperor Ao was horrified. He had made full psychological preparations, but all of this disappeared without a trace the moment he saw Yao Luo himself. All the means, conspiracies, and tricks evaporated like snow melting in the sun.
Yao Luo, who was 1.95 meters tall, became taller and taller in his eyes until he was beyond his sight, like a giant.
"I represent the Starry Sky Train, General Jing Yuan represents Xianzhou Luofu, and Aodi represents the family. As for you, Mr. Opal, I remember what I said at the time was to let Feicui contact the "Seven-member Board of Directors" of the Interstellar Peace Company. I didn't expect it would be you. What? Am I going to celebrate your boss Diamond's promotion to director in advance?"
"Haha, Mr. Yao Luo, the only purpose of my coming here is to convey to you the will of our leader "Diamond", you can rest assured about this."
Opal took a deep breath, suppressed his thoughts about Yao Luo's momentum, and responded calmly.
Opal placed a miniature chair sculpture on the table. In an instant, the material of the surface of the chair sculpture began to change, and dazzling light was reflected on the surface. The ordinary sculpture turned into a perfect cube made entirely of diamonds.
"Oh~ Interesting, your Strategic Investment Department is really ambitious."
Yao Luo smiled. The power here was a power he was very familiar with.
"Diamond", all the power he gave to the ten people in Shixin was concentrated on this small cube in front of him.
Looking at Opal, whose eyes were filled with determination, greed, madness, justice, and viciousness, he seemed to see the shadow of another person.
He saw the messenger behind the ten Stone Heart men, looking directly at him through this body.
"So, you actually want to hide it from the company and want to eat up the cooperation with me alone?"
Yao Luo became interested and pressed his body forward. An indescribable feeling of oppression once again descended upon Opal in front of him.
And Opal just stared fearlessly at the being in front of him who was probably the strongest being under the Star God, and spoke word by word.
"For the entire galaxy, one 'voice' is enough, right, Mr. Yao Luo? The War of the Gods will happen sooner or later. What we believe in is not the company, but the person 'Diamond'."
"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting. As the envoy of "Cunhu", that Diamond actually has such thoughts? Your Cunhu faction is really interesting."
Yao Luo laughed loudly. It turned out that what Shi Xin and the other ten people were angling for was not just the so-called position of director, but a higher, supreme position.
"It seems that Mr. Yao Luo is of the same mind as us. I was right."
Opal also smiled. Sometimes, the success of a negotiation does not require too many skills. As long as the tone is set, everything else will come naturally.
"To show our sincerity, all ten members of the Stone Heart, except for those who cannot be present, are here, and we look forward to working with you."
Opal bowed slightly to show his respect to Yao Luo. In his life, he had only done this to very few people. At least in the past few Amber Ages, Yao Luo was the first.
"Okay, now, let's finish some trivial matters."
Yao Luo looked at Old Aodi calmly and said lightly.
"We want 51% of Pinoconi's shares. I want the family to complete the formalities within one system day. The remaining % will be transferred to the company, % to Xianzhou Luofu, and the last % can be kept by you."
Old Emperor Ao was stunned for a moment after hearing Yao Luo's words, and his hand stroking his beard also stopped.
"Mr. Yao Luo, you, aren't you...?"
"I'm not kidding, nor am I negotiating with you. I'm just giving you a relatively decent way out."
Yao Luo raised his right hand slightly, and a ball of black and extremely thick substance exploded in a very short time, forming a spectacle with two beams of light gathered together in the center of a circle.
"Could this be... a supernova explosion?"
When old Odi was young, he was also an adventurous person. In order to take a photo of a supernova explosion at the closest distance, he drove a starship alone to the vicinity of a newly collapsed death star and witnessed the whole process. Therefore, he was deeply impressed by this phenomenon.
However, such a scene actually happened at Yao Luo's fingertips, and there was no sign of it affecting the surroundings.
The extremely dazzling ball of light scattered into countless light elements and heavy particles. Yao Luo took out the part he wanted and condensed it into a golden model of Pinocchio.
"clang."
This ball of the purest gold obtained from a supernova explosion was still shining with a red-hot brilliance and fell heavily on the table in the conference room.
Above, Pinocchio's huge clock is clearly visible, and it is even turning non-stop because of Yao Luo's power. The time is exactly twelve system hours.
"Go and prepare. I don't want Pinocchio to be destroyed again, because this was once the resting place of the nameless guests of "Pioneering". I want to leave a station for them."
"You should be thankful that I didn't take it by force, or you wouldn't even remember that you once ruled here."
Yao Luo stood up, Jing Yuan and Opal followed behind him, leaving old Odi standing there in a daze, staring at the Pinocchio sculpture.
