The eting has already started. Prince Loran sitting in the chair is reading last year's annual summary report. Ade is still thinking about what happened just now, a little absent-minded. For Clyne's invitation, Ade didn't think much and agreed. Just about to ask for details, Loran arrived. They didn't have ti to talk more. Although he has a certain reputation, as C.C. said, he is just an "ordinary gifted scientist". As a leader of a country, what's the significance for Clyne to talk to him alone? Is there sothing wrong with the deal of the Neutron Jamr Canceller?
"- to sum up, Anaheim delivered a satisfactory answer to all shareholders last year. So let's start talking about this year. " Mr. Loran began to get down to business. "As usual, the shareholders' representatives on the board of directors are elected first. I nominate myself. Does anyone have a different opinion?"
Loran's eyes swept over Ade and Clyne in the conference room and everyone in the video call, with a shy smile on his face. But no one in this room will forget that this man had done in the Earth Moon war. Probably no one in the solar system can compare with him in terms of massacre.
Loran and Diana's experience is quite legendary, and there are many mysteries about them, but Ade is most curious about their age. Generally speaking, Loran is at least at the sa age as Clyne and Zabi. However, looking at the young man who seem to be no more than a few years older than himself, Ade can't connect this person with a middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s.
There are various speculations about this. So people say that Queen Diana and Prince Loran usually stay in the freezer and co out only when they have activities. However, according to Ade's observation, although Queen Diana seldom appears, Loran appears frequently on the moon, which makes the freezing theory not very tenable. So people say that they have found anti-aging technology and take it as their own. Although this statent can't be confird, there are so supporters. But if such technology is monopolized by them, the leadership of the moon can't be so monolithic for so many years. Ade once asked C.C. about this question, and the reply was "maybe there is sothing similar to code on the moon?".
"Since there is no objection, let's move on to the next issue." Of course, there is no disagreent in the conference room. With 51% absolute control, the general eting of shareholders is basically a speech location for Loran. All others can do is to give opinions. "Do you have any comnts and suggestions on the focus of next year's work?"
"With the gradual recovery of the postwar economy, the purchasing power of ordinary people is becoming stronger and stronger now." It was a man with a sinister appearance. "Assuming that there will be no war in the near future, I personally think that the focus of developnt can be shifted from the military industry to the entertainnt sector. Last year, our company didn't make much progress in the field of smartphones and ga consoles. "
Ade rembers that this is Cardeas Vist, the boss of Vist consortium, and one of Anaheim's earliest investors. Does he an to cut down Ade's own funds? But of course, Ade will not imdiately object. He is now a shareholder, not the director of MS Research Institute. He should stand in the overall interests of the company. Naturally, there are representatives of military interests sitting here. Ade is waiting for soone to jump out to block the gun.
"Although it's a bit inappropriate for to say that," the one who jumped out was an old man. "But on the federal side, the demand for arms, especially MS, is still very large."
"Brigadier general Hym, are you speaking as a federal general or as a shareholder?" If Ade had just jumped out, he would have been attacked like this by Vist.
"Of course, the interests of the company co first. Are you doubting my character, Vist President?" This old man is called Jamitoy Hym, originally a brigadier general of the Federation army. With superb political skills and solid military contacts, he quickly climbed to the position of federal finance minister and beca the spokesperson of the army's interests in the Federation. However, it is not clear whose interests he represented in Anaheim. It is rumored that he is engaged in a small elite group in the army, whose mbers are highly coincident with the mbers of Blue Cosmos. In short, he is a hidden radical. "Although the white paper of this year's budget of the federal governnt has not been published, I just made a reasonable judgnt as a shareholder without violating the principle."
"Since the budget has not been announced, I'm afraid the rationality of your judgnt remains to be discussed." Vist is a bit reluctant. Ade suddenly rembered a piece of news he saw last month, saying that the Vist consortium may increase its investnt in the military industry. Is it possible that he does not want Anaheim to rob his business?
"As an honest governnt official, I will not divulge the federal financial plan." This man whose na is Alejandro Corner, is the current foreign minister of the Earth Federation. He has visited the moon many tis and seems to be a mber of his own group. "But as an individual, I support minister Hym's view. It's better to say that we can expect corresponding returns if we continue to increase the investnt in MS."
"Prince Schneizel, as an official who also serves in the federal governnt, what do you think?" Loran cast an inquiring look at a handso young man.
"Your Majesty, I always strictly abide by the governnt's confidentiality regulations." Schneizel, as the second prince of Britannia, only has a casual job in the Federation, and generally does not participate in Anaheim's decision-making. "But the budget of our country has been announced last month, and I believe the market is big enough for everyone to eat."
These people are really interesting. In a few words, they have exposed the federal plan to sharply increase military spending this year. Sure enough, Clyne's emotion is very bad, because he is the hypothetical enemy of the Federation.
"There is no pressure on the production capacity of the Research Institute." now is the ti for Ade to make a speech and complete the last part of the argunt. "Judging from my personal professional level, properly undertaking more business will not affect the normal operation of our MS Departnt."
Of course, he will not tell them that the Gundam test pilot has not yet recruited.
"I rember that the research and developnt of the Z-Gundam series are not over yet." In the video, Vist looks at Ade, "Is it really appropriate to say that there is no pressure at all in this situation, Dr. Lingus?"
"The design of the most complex deformable frawork has been completed, and only the step-by-step real machine debugging is left behind. I don't think it's a problem to add more burden to the Research Institute." Of course, there are several technical difficulties waiting to be overco, but can the consortium boss understand this? "Or are you questioning my professionalism? "
"Is the deformable skeleton finished so soon? Dr. Adrien?" Loran was obviously very happy to hear the news and gave Ade a big smile. "Doctor, you're the only one of the shareholders involved in Anaheim's actual production. We can take this opportunity to talk about so problems and difficulties that others can't see."
Loran's shift to Ade is actually the final conclusion of the topic just now. Vist has lost the right to pursue.
"I'm sorry, but I just need your help." How sweet of you, Prince Loran! The more he looks at him, the more agreeable he felt. He has a good personality, strong ability and good looks. It's rumored on the Internet that Prince Loran's beauty is not inferior to that of Queen Diana. Is it true? "It's about the study of telepathy. If I can get a New Type's personal cooperation, it will speed up a lot of progress. It's not easy to carry out so work just by text communication."
Ade is very euphemistic, but it is a signal to put forward in this situation. Loran's reaction is not important. Jamitov Hym can understand it. This is for the earth's military.
"Of course, the psycho-fra is very important, which is also the requirent of the Federation itself." Hyn really lived up to Ade's expectations, "But the pressure is not only from within the army. It's not easy to let Captain Ray go to the moon. Dr. Lingus, do you understand what I an?"
"I certainly understand that there are differences within the Federation in the treatnt of New Type." Ade put forward the statent that he had considered for a long ti last night, "But whether it's positive or negative treatnt, do you want to get more New Types, or don't want to have more New Types? It's not a self boast, but with the technical level of my Research Institute, it is not difficult to produce a New Type research report convincing the Federation. "
"Ha ha, it's very convincing from Dr. Lingus." Hyn was sowhat moved, but now is not the ti to make a decision. "I will discuss this matter with the military headquarters when I go back."
If a person of Hym's level say that, half of the problem has been solved.
Loran gives ade a positive look. I've got the favor. It's worth the trip today.
When Ade was promoted to deputy director, he received an unconventional interview from Queen Diana and Prince Loran. At that ti, Loran appreciated Ade. After becoming a shareholder, he gets an extra chance to get Loran's favor every year, and Ade never wastes it. Today's temporary plan is a complete success. Ade thinks he can start thinking about the prize.
Later, they started to discuss so issues that have nothing to do with Ade. Ade just needs to vote for all of Loran's decisions. There were not many controversial topics left, and the eting ended soon. After saying goodbye to Loran, Ade is invited to a high-end restaurant by Clyne. It wasn't until Ade sat down that he rembered that this was the restaurant where he first t C.C. a few years ago. He hopes that the waiters don't rember what happened, otherwise it will be too embarrassing. Because C.C. said the restaurant was expensive and not delicious, and they would never co here again.
"This is the best of the earth beef!" Clyne swallows a steak gracefully, and Ade orders the sa food as he recomnds. "Beef grown under natural gravity has a very different quality and taste from beef grown on satellite. Coupled with the top-level cooking thods, this restaurant is worthy of its na. "
Although Ade thought he was talking nonsense, he nodded his head to show agreent. To be honest, with the current level of science and technology, artificial beef and natural beef are hard to distinguish, not to ntion the earth beef and satellite beef. Of course, he won't make complaints at this ti.
"I rember, doctor, you're a fan of my daughter." This is the way to talk to people like Clyne. Before they get down to business, they have to go around and talk about the weather today, showing that everyone is very harmonious. "My little girl published a new song several days ago, doctor, do you have ti to listen to it?"
"Of course, Mr. Clyne, I ordered it the first ti." In fact, it's true. There's no comrcial praise, but Clyne doesn't necessarily think that's the way it is. "Your daughter's voice is as beautiful as ever, and the standard of the new song is better than before. The single went round in my office all day!"
"That would be great." Clyne showed an ambiguous smile. "By the way, did you open the gift before?"
"Not yet. Thanks for the present. " What about this strange expression? "May you tell what it is? I'm sure Mr. Clyne's gift will be great. "
"Oh, let's leave it a surprise to you. Doctor, I'm sure you'll like it. " Clyne changed the subject as if nothing had happened. "May I know your plan for the second half of the year?"
"There are no plans other than normal research work."
"You have been living on the moon for so many years, concentrating on research and working hard." Clyne slowly cuts the steak, making a holy look. "Have you ever thought of taking a vacation, going out for a walk? Maybe it will give you more inspiration?"
"What do you an?"
"I an," Clyne put down her knife and fork and looked at Ade, "Doctor, are you interested in coming to plant?"
