At this moment, Sylvia, who had turned into the embodiment of greed in the eyes of the commissioner, was not affected by the other party's attitude at all. She said in a calm and powerful tone: "Your Excellency, commissioner, do you think that expanding the smelter and giving us a majority of the shares is a good thing for us?"

The couple has given away the biggest profit, but Commissioner, have you ever thought about whether we are willing to expand the smelter."

The commissioner tried his best to contain his emotions and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Don't you want to expand the smelter to become a group that dominates the federal smelting industry?"

"If we need this kind of thing, we don't have to come to live in Beirut at all. We can definitely..." Sylvia deliberately stopped mid-sentence to give people some room for imagination, and then continued: "There is no doubt that

, the large-scale expansion of the smelting plant in a short period of time is only good for the federation. After the expansion of the smelting plant, it can produce special steel faster and complete the military re-equipment as soon as possible to cope with future wars..."

"Wait! You...what do you mean by war?" The commissioner interrupted Sylvia's narration. He was about to question her directly, but quickly paused to make his words a little more tactful.

"Literally speaking, we also have our own intelligence channels, and the information will not be much worse than the federal government." Sylvia deliberately fabricated a false intelligence channel to make the other party fall into suspicion, and then before the other party could relax,

Before he was distracted, he continued: "The expansion of the smelter is what the federal government needs, not what our couple wants."

"But you can also get huge benefits from it?" The commissioner couldn't see through the two foreign settlers in front of him at all, and said with some lack of confidence.

"But the problem is that we don't need this kind of benefit, and how does your federal government know whether we care about these so-called benefits?" Sylvia smiled disdainfully and said: "It is no exaggeration to say that you

The huge interests in our eyes are worthless in the eyes of our couple, not to mention that your so-called absolute shareholding is just a piece of paper. The smelter is built on federal land and employs federal people as workers and managers. The federal government

There is still some jurisdiction, do you think our couple can really control this smelting group?"

"The Federation will not..." the commissioner immediately defended.

Just before the commissioner finished speaking, Sylvia interrupted: "The federal government may not, but can you guarantee that those within the government will not? You must know that once the smelting group is established, then this group will be in the hands of our couple.

The special steel formula will definitely dominate the entire federal steel market, and then spread its influence to neighboring countries, and even the entire New and Old Continents. The benefits will be huge, absolutely beyond imagination. By then, you can guarantee that no one will be tempted by us.

Do couples do anything with the shares in their hands?”

The commissioner fell silent. Of course, he could not give any guarantee, because he knew very well who those guys from the federal government were. Not to mention that this smelting group had developed to the extent of affecting the New and Old Worlds, even if it only affected the Ott Federation itself, those

This guy will definitely make some moves. When the time comes, the couple in front of them will no longer have control of the group, and it will be great if they can maintain the dividends from their shares.

Sylvia did not continue speaking, but waited for a moment, allowing the commissioner in front of her to think calmly for a while, and then continued: "As for letting my husband help design weapons, shouldn't my husband be given the treatment and treatment he deserves?"

Remuneration? If my husband designs a weapon that meets the federal requirements and plays a decisive role in the federal war in the future, shouldn’t the federation pay a reward for it? If the federal government is really so stingy that it can’t even provide reasonable rewards and

If you are not willing to pay remuneration, then it may be difficult for the federal government to attract capable foreign talents in the future.”

The commissioner did not speak, and his gloomy face revealed his innermost feelings. Although he wanted to refute Sylvia's statement, he could not find the right words to refute, so he could only keep his head down like a student who was scolded by the teacher.

My head, I feel so frustrated.

At this time, the commissioner also regretted why he had spent so many means to take over this job. Originally, he thought that the special commissioner of Beluk City was a good job. He didn't need to think too much when he came here, he just needed to do it within the scope of his duties.

Under such circumstances, it is enough to just sit back and collect the various benefits sent from all parties. After all, these political investments are tacitly approved by the federal government, and there is no danger of being held accountable.

But now the main goal of his trip has given him a problem, which has completely wiped out his good mood in the past two days, because he knows very well that if this matter is not handled well, his political career may be over.

He really wanted to deal with the people in front of him the same way he dealt with some officials in Beluk City, but this idea only appeared in his mind for a moment and then quickly faded away, not to mention Sylvia's elusiveness.

His background and identity, just the change in Leo's attitude is enough to make him feel worried. If his behavior makes the other party dissatisfied and then passively slows down the smelter, then what will be waiting for him when he returns to the capital

After a series of questioning, he was finally thrown into a cold storage in a low-level elderly care department, which was fine. If his political opponents had seized this opportunity to attack him, he would most likely end up with a worse ending.

Thinking of this, the commissioner changed his previous serious and unhappy look, showed the most cordial smile he could think of, and said to Leo and Sylvia: "You two have some misunderstandings. The content of this letter is just

It’s just the first draft of the cooperation agreement. I’m giving it to you two to read. It’s just to let you two understand the situation. The specific cooperation agreement must be discussed with you before the final decision can be made. I believe that it will be given to you by then.

A satisfactory condition for cooperation.”

"Is it just a first draft? That's true. I think any formal or cooperative project cannot be decided with just a letter." Sylvia followed the other person's words and said.

"I don't know what specific conditions you two have for these two things. I can report the conditions." The commissioner lowered his attitude and said in a low voice: "The government must be inclusive in terms of cooperation with you two.

Postal Service is extremely sincere, and as long as the conditions are not too harsh, I believe there will be no problem in reaching a cooperation agreement."

Hearing what the commissioner said, Sylvia smiled on her face, and then directly made some conditions. These conditions were a bit excessive in the opinion of the special commissioner, but they were not beyond the range of psychological endurance, and he also asked himself

, if he asks for conditions, he will probably make more extreme conditions in exchange for more benefits.

However, when Sylvia put forward the last condition, he was stunned and looked at Sylvia with a strange expression, as if asking why he made such a condition.

It turns out that the condition offered by Sylvia is very simple, that is, the mineral mining rights of Emerald Island.

With the outbreak of the Emerald Island incident, the surviving villagers on Emerald Island have already moved to other areas to live. Now Emerald Island is deserted. There are even some rumors circulating in the market that Emerald Island has been

Tragedies will only occur when cursed by evil forces. Now Emerald Island has become a taboo-like existence, and the world hopes to forget the existence of this island as soon as possible.

But now Sylvia is asking for the mineral mining rights on Emerald Island. This is abnormal no matter how you look at it. The mineral deposits on the first Emerald Island have been almost hollowed out, and the remaining mineral deposits are all in difficult conditions.

Mining these mineral deposits deep underground will not only consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but also pose great safety risks. More importantly, even if the ore is mined, it will be difficult to sell it at a high price.

So the mines on the island were abandoned.

Such useless mineral deposits are being valued by others, which makes people unable to see through their intentions.

When the special commissioner was thinking about this condition, he immediately rejected Sylvia's idea of ​​reactivating the abandoned mine tunnel and continuing mining, because the benefits of continuing mining were too small, and he would even lose money.

The current situation on Emerald Island makes it difficult to recruit enough miners within the Ott Federation.

At this time, he thought very keenly about the jurisdiction of Emerald Island, because according to his understanding, the mining rights of Emerald Island also involved part of the jurisdiction of Emerald Island. As long as he has the mining rights, then the mining rights

With the master's control, you can set up secondary administrative villages and towns on Emerald Island, and govern this village and town like ancient lords. However, Emerald Island itself is very barren, and no one with a little wealth is willing to stay there and be a barren lord.

, just like the former holder of the mining rights of Emerald Island, he would rather give up everything on Emerald Island than leave there and become an ordinary small businessman in the capital.

The special commissioner believed that if Sylvia's intention was to take over the jurisdiction of Emerald Island, then she would not be doing it for the barrenness and purity of Emerald Island. It must be for other purposes, and this question also made him

I couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Sylvia did not disturb the other party, nor did she intend to stay any longer. She winked at Leo, who had been a bystander from the beginning, then stood up and said to the special commissioner: "My conditions

That’s it. Please report these conditions truthfully. As long as the above can agree to these conditions, we are willing to cooperate with the federal government in the expansion of the smelting plant and develop a weapon for the federal government that meets your requirements."

At this moment, the special commissioner was still deep in thought and had not recovered. He just asked his assistant to send Leo and Sylvia off for him, and then ordered him not to see the guests again. He stayed alone in the study and thought about what to do.

How to report this matter to the superiors without letting the superiors think that he messed up the matter, but also allowing the superiors to give him the power to continue negotiation and cooperation. This will be a very critical test for him.

After leaving the hotel, Leo and Sylvia did not return to the manor immediately. Instead, they started sightseeing around the city of Beluk like two travelers.

On the way, Leo asked Sylvia who was holding his arm with some doubts: "Are you really planning to take over the jurisdiction of Emerald Island?"

"Of course not." Sylvia shook her head and said with a smile: "It's impossible for them to let us manage Emerald Island, not to mention what they did on Emerald Island. They will never allow anyone with a guilty conscience.

If you get involved there, it will only make it deserted."

Leo asked puzzledly: "Then what is your real goal in making this condition?"

"Actually, I'm interested in Mount Troubo." Sylvia said with a smile.

"Trubo Mountain in Josh County?" Leo quickly thought of the location of this mountain and related information, and then said clearly: "Do you think there is value in exploring there?"

"Don't you think?" Sylvia smiled and said: "I remember that most of the mysterious legends in the Otter Federation are more or less related to Mount Trubo, or the source of the mysterious power in the stories is in

Either the important characters in the story have some connection with the mysterious things hidden in Mount Truber. In addition, there are so many expedition teams missing in the dense forests of Mount Truber. If it is said that this country is the easiest place

When it comes to mysterious events, Mount Troubo is definitely the first choice.”

After Leo stopped Sylvia's narration, he nodded in agreement, and then said: "I remember that there seems to be no mine in Troub Mountain. What are you going to use as an excuse?"

Sylvia shrugged and said: "It's not that simple, it's wood! It's a hunting ground! It's not difficult to find a suitable excuse. It's rare that those people agree with this statement and give us what we want."

Leo agreed with Sylvia's statement and asked: "You are right. Even if they agree with the excuse, I am afraid they will not be willing to hand over the jurisdiction of the entire Mount Trumbo to you. After all, Mount Trumbo

It’s inland land, and the situation is completely different from the island.”

Sylvia seemed to have thought about it and quickly replied: "So forget about jurisdiction. We can just allocate a piece of land in that area and rebuild the villa."

Leo nodded slightly and was about to continue discussing with Sylvia about which land to choose when the time came. He suddenly stopped and looked at a night-selling gold den across the road, with surprise and joy on his face.

He had a confused look, as if he had seen something incredible.

Sylvia naturally noticed Leo's situation, and she looked over there curiously, but when she took a first look, she didn't see anything unusual in the unopened gold pin nest opposite.

Based on her understanding of Leo, she naturally didn't think that Leo would show such a surprised expression for a meat farm, so she felt that she must not have found anything that surprised Leo, so she looked at it carefully again.

This time, she finally discovered what it was that aroused Leo's surprise and confusion, because when she saw that thing, she also showed the same expression as Leo, and she probably had the same inner feelings.
