Interstellar Energy Tycoon - Chapter 283
c283 Briosia’s advice
“Tell me, my daughter, what’s your good idea?” Duke Zenoz looked at her and asked.
“Marriage, I think the best way is for both parties to marry.”
Brioscia thought for a while and then spoke slowly: “As long as our Zenoz family establishes a marriage relationship with the leader of the merchant in the Azure Chamber of Commerce, and lets him marry a woman from our family, the two parties can cooperate more firmly. To reduce a lot of suspicions, our Zenoz family will provide security protection in the future, and the Azure Chamber of Commerce will provide a variety of products, and then make reasonable distribution based on the profits earned. I think this will be good for us and Azure. The Chamber of Commerce is a very good thing.”
“For marriage, there don’t seem to be many girls of the right age in our family, and the businessman named Li Lefan is in his twenties this year. How can I let my granddaughters, who are several years old and in their teens, get engaged to him and wait until they are older? Are you going to hold a wedding?” Duke Zenoz frowned, feeling that it was not very reliable, the age difference was really too big.
“Father, I am twenty-five years old this year, which is about the same age as Mr. Li, so I am willing to make sacrifices for the family. As long as the family is prosperous, even if it encounters many hardships, even if it means having an unhappy marriage, I will be willing to stand up. And out.”
Brioscia had no choice but to stand up boldly and said with a look of dedication on her face.
But there was a moment of silence.
The senior members of the family all looked at her with some scrutiny and suspicion.
“You are the guardian of the family. You have mastered the extraordinary knowledge of the family. It is impossible to marry an outsider. Brioscia, you have a good idea of devoting to the family, but you are not a suitable candidate.”
Duke Zenoz shook his head and rejected the proposal.
“Why can’t I.”
Brioscia said in confusion: “The Azure Chamber of Commerce does not need the extraordinary knowledge of our family. They just want more ‘God Stones’ and are not interested in extraordinary knowledge. If I marry that Li Lefan , there is no risk of leaking family secrets. On the contrary, after gaining Li Lefan’s confidence, I can still find ways to dig out the secrets behind the Blue Chamber of Commerce and find their real trump card, and even their fatal weakness. If we bring more benefits to the family, More information is definitely something that does more good than harm, so why do you object to it?”
Hear this.
Some senior members of the family immediately retorted and retorted:
“Briocia, the woman you marry is a woman from another family, or even an enemy. You don’t even understand such a simple truth, do you? If you marry that Li Lefan, can you let him expose his secrets and flaws? If I don’t tell you, you are more likely to reveal all the family’s secrets and bring huge hidden dangers to the family. You won’t swear that you are always on the family’s side, right?”
“Historically, although there were women who cared about their natal family, most of them abandoned their natal family and the family that gave birth to them. This kind of marriage brings us greater risks.”
“Breosia, do you want to abandon your great responsibility and find a man to live with? You can’t stand the long loneliness, right? Moreover, you were relatively close to that Li Lefan before, in private We often have contact, maybe we have an affair, and now we want to take this opportunity to break away from the family and pursue our own happiness. Haha, your wishful thinking is really good, right?”
“The Azure Chamber of Commerce is too rich and mysterious. Our Brioscia was too lonely and longed for the outside world, so she was bribed by that man and became a pawn in his family’s layout. Brioscia, you are too tall. You underestimate yourself and underestimate the wisdom of us people. From the beginning, we have stepped on your ideas.”
“Your Excellency, this woman’s heart may no longer be with us. It is better to lock her in a dungeon and never come out. Although she has not betrayed the family yet, it will be too late until that step. We need to strike first.”
“No, I don’t have the slightest idea of betraying the family.”
Brioscia immediately explained: “You are all slandering and misunderstanding me. I am only considering the interests of the family, but you treat me like this. My heart is broken by you. Father, I believe you will never If you doubt your own daughter, please say a few honest and fair words for me.”
She looked at her father, Duke Zenoz, seriously and pleadingly.
Unfortunately.
Duke Zenoz just said calmly: “Breosia, you are a good child. I will not doubt your loyalty to the family. However, you should not get involved in this matter anymore. Stay in the family library. , be your guardian, I can restore your innocence, but don’t have some undue thoughts. Since you have chosen to become the guardian of the family, you cannot hesitate or regret this path. Our family has been through this for thousands of years, and you will not be an exception.”
Hear this.
Brioscia’s heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
All the thoughts and calculations in his head disappeared in an instant.
Full of helplessness and loss.
Then, a rebellious thought arose from the bottom of my heart.
This family is so impersonal, conservative and rigid that they actually want to completely sacrifice their own freedom and happiness, and let her stay in the role of ‘guardian’ without even having the slightest thought that she shouldn’t have. This is really…
Not convinced.
She was really dissatisfied and filled with unwillingness.
So after this family meeting ended.
Go back to your room.
She took out a ‘neutrino communicator’ device, made a video call with Li Lefan, and had a good chat with him:
“Li Lefan, if I plan to betray my family, I want to avoid a war between the two families. I only hope to be treated gently by you and to be your wife. As long as I agree to these two things, I can do anything you ask me to do. Yes, so, are you willing to marry me and take me with you to explore the world?”
Brioscia looked at the man Li Lefan on the other side of the video and said.
“marry you?”
Li Lefan couldn’t help but was stunned by the question. After thinking about it, he had to ask: “Miss Briosia, I am just a businessman and I don’t have many outstanding advantages. I am not worthy of you at all. Why do you want to marry me?” And me?”
“Your temperament attracts me. I really want to pursue freedom and a relaxed and comfortable life with you. I see the hope of realizing these pursuits in you, so don’t give a negative answer, okay? ?My family has broken my heart, please don’t let me down again, okay?”
Brioscia looked at him pleadingly.
“this……”
Li Lefan fell into hesitation for a while and was quite entangled.
He didn’t expect that after only a few days of contact, Brioscia would develop some affection for him and the idea of being with him.
The problem is that we are completely different species, there is reproductive isolation, and there is no possibility of any results. Previously, in order to stabilize the cooperation with the Zenoz family, he treated Brioscia somewhat favorably and gave her a lot of gifts. , who would have thought that she would misunderstand him like this.
what to do?
What to do now?
Li Lefan also saw that if he chose to refuse, Brioscia would be very disappointed and even desperate, which would become the last straw for her. He would become her serious and heinous scumbag, bear her lifelong hatred, and become a This kind of emotional debt will make him feel guilty and uneasy.
Think about it.
“I will take action tomorrow to bring you out. Your family cannot restrain you. I will take some measures to let you get the freedom you want most.”
Li Lefan made a promise.
“Okay, thank you. I know you have me in your heart. I didn’t misjudge the person.”
Laughed.
A smile finally broke out on Brioscia’s face, and most of the despair in her heart dissipated, and she suddenly felt relieved.
promise.
When she heard the promise Li Lefan made to him, she knew that it was stable. It must be stable this time. The freedom she wanted most would be available soon.
She had already known a little about the strength of the Azure Chamber of Commerce. It was definitely much stronger than her own family. It had only been shown in business before, but in terms of strength, it was definitely even more powerful. It was unimaginable that it could rival someone. The strength of these kingdoms, otherwise they would have been finished long ago and would have been swallowed up by those powerful forces.
She felt a lot more relieved now.
So on the second day.
Li Lefan brought ten super-god mechas and buzzed to the sky above Duke Zenoz’s palace. He put on a defensive and counterattack posture, and then used the loudspeaker device to initiate negotiations.
Three demands were made.
First, the cooperation model between the two companies needs to make certain adjustments. In the future, the Zenoz family will become one of the affiliated forces of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, and can be allocated to the Jinwo Kingdom market and receive 20% of the profit dividends. The remaining 80% will be handed over to the Azure Chamber of Commerce.
Second, the army of the Zenoz family needs to cooperate with the development of the Blue Chamber of Commerce to take some actions, and the Blue Chamber of Commerce will provide a batch of thermal weapons to enhance the strength of the army. Naturally, in terms of command, they must basically obey the Blue Chamber of Commerce. Arrangements must not be made without authorization or damage to the interests of the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, the army’s military pay, wages, and benefits are also provided by the Azure Chamber of Commerce. The minimum standard will not be less than 3 gold coins per month. With other benefits, the annual income will be no less than Fifty gold coins is comparable to the annual income of some noble estates, and the agricultural products from thousands of acres of land are estimated to be at this price.
Third, give Briosia freedom and allow her to join the Azure Chamber of Commerce and become an important interest representative, which will facilitate better cooperation between the two parties. We hope that the Zenoz family will not hold back.
After listening to the above requirements.
Angry.
The top brass of the Zenoz family were furious and furious. They felt that this was an intolerable provocation and that they were simply looking for death!
noble!
You must know that they are high-ranking nobles. This lofty status has existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years. The nobles have always received only respect and are rarely challenged, especially in front of those lowly businessmen, even if the nobles are in front of them. In some aspects, there is a need to use merchants, and there is a lot of cooperation between the two parties. It can be said that they are inseparable. However, merchants are merchants. Although they are better than civilian slaves, they are still far behind the nobles. There is a certain gap.
But at this moment, the dignity of the Zenoz family was provoked by a group of businessmen.
I can’t bear it.
I really can’t bear it.
We must give this Azure Chamber of Commerce a little look, establish the unchallengeable authority of the nobles, and then confiscate all the property and assets of this chamber of commerce as compensation for provoking the nobles, including the production lines behind them, all must be taken down, otherwise It will not have the effect of punishment.
Just facing the huge thing of those ten units, the senior officials of the Zenoz family could vaguely sense that this thing might not be easy to mess with, but they could not choose to give in. They immediately sent an army of thousands of people to surround the ten units. device and then launched an attack.
There is dense arrow coverage.
A sword struck hard with bang bang bang.
There are also a few divine beings who aim at the weak points of the ten devices and then launch attacks, hoping to achieve success.
But an hour passed.
Three hours passed.
No matter what kind of attack the Zenoz family’s elite army takes, it will be like scraping, having no effect on the super-god mecha and not even a trace of damage.
Panic.
These troops and the top brass of the Zenoz family suddenly panicked.
too strong.
The defensive power of these devices is too terrifying. They haven’t taken any action to fight back. They are just passively beaten. After being attacked for several hours, they can’t even make a scratch. After attacking until they are exhausted and their spiritual power is exhausted, there is nothing they can do. Bring even a little bit of harm.
It’s over.
When these behemoths launch a counterattack, the Zenoz family will become history and reduced to ruins.
what to do.
“Forget it, stop it.”
Just at this time.
Li Lefan, who was sitting in one of the super-god mechas, said with the help of a loudspeaker: “Stop attacking, it’s useless. Even if my mecha enters the interior of the sun, it will not be harmed at all.” Damage, your attacks can’t even scratch their itch, they can’t break its defense at all.”
“He who knows the current affairs is still a hero. Agree to my previous cooperation conditions. The power of the Blue Chamber of Commerce is far beyond your imagination. By cooperating with us, you can get huge benefits and benefits, and you will never suffer any loss. If it is We have to go all the way to the dark side, and when our ten super-god mechas launch an attack, everything will really be over.”
“You still don’t believe what I’m saying. Well, I’ll give you one last chance to watch a video to open your eyes and stop this act of actively seeking death.”
Li Lefan turned on the three-dimensional projection function of the mecha, and projected a scene of a super-god mecha killing people on different occasions in front of the senior executives of Zenoz, so that the elite army could also see it. Within ten minutes In the short film, everyone who watched the invincible scene of the super-god mecha killing people was stunned, sweating on their backs, and their hearts sank to the bottom.
