Chapter 476: Heading to the Britta Family
"Chief? Why are you here?"
Just then, an NPC suddenly walked up to Bai Qi and asked.
"Leader? Are you Epsilon?"
Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this, and the NPC gradually turned into the appearance of Epsilon.
"That's right."
Epsilon nodded and said, "Mr. Nicholas has been busy making the Jade Helmet recently, so he asked me to help manage it."
"Help with management?"
Hearing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but look at the NPCs around him who were obviously replicas, and asked, "What about these NPCs? Are they played by real people?"
"No, these are all virtual characters I created. They are just quite dull and can only answer some basic questions repeatedly."
Cordyceps nodded and condensed another NPC.
Seeing this, Bai Qi also asked some questions like the others. The NPC immediately answered fluently. Although a sense of mechanicalness could be felt, it already possessed simple intelligence.
"If this continues, won't it become a virtual soul?"
Bai Qi could naturally tell the difference between this NPC and the characters in Chongcao's previous dreams.
Although the character in Chongcao’s previous dream was vivid, it was just an illusion.
And the one in front of me, although his movements were stiff, was a living being.
At least, in this dream.
"Virtual soul? I haven't really thought about it that much."
Chongcao was stunned when he heard this, and said, "I just felt that it was too troublesome to manage it alone, so I tried to use the power of jade to condense some assistants."
Bai Qi suddenly understood what he said and said, "I see. But this is a good direction for development. If we can condense dream creatures with combat power, your dream, Epsilon, will also have strong combat power."
“It seems like it really works!”
Chongcao's eyes lit up when he heard this. If he could really condense this, wouldn't he be able to fight directly in dreams just like the Nightmare Apostles?
"Chief, I have something in mind. I won't entertain you for now."
After saying that, Cordyceps disappeared, and even the original NPCs disappeared one by one.
Obviously, Chongcao was concentrating all his attention on studying the idea just now.
"Huh? Why is the NPC gone?"
The players who were consulting were confused when they saw the NPC suddenly disappeared, but some veteran players were not surprised at all and said, "It's normal. These NPCs were added temporarily after players' feedback. It's normal to have some problems."
"This... doesn't that mean that this game has not been fully developed yet?"
"Nonsense, the banner they put up is to create a primitive world so that you can enjoy the purest natural creatures. Any attempt to transform this world will be expelled. It's good enough to have a few NPCs for you."
"I see. What if a newbie doesn't know where to go?"
"This is easy. I am not talented, but I am one of the first batch of public beta players. I can lead the way for you, but the reward is~"
"Sure, sure."
"Okay, boss, let's go~"
Similar scenes were happening in different places, and Bai Qi had no intention of stopping them.
Tour guides and scenic spots are inseparable.
If there were no eloquent tour guides, just looking at the scenery without anyone explaining would make you bored after a while, no matter how beautiful the scenery is.
Like now, it can also stimulate the fun of new players and increase stickiness, so why not do it?
Bai Qi smiled, and then took the initiative to exit the Emerald Dream.
…
west.
The Britta family residence.
Compared with the Ishu family, the architectural style of the Britta family appears to be much more grand, with a perfect fusion of classical culture and modern technology, making the entire building complex appear grand and vigorous.
"Chairman Zhuge, Master Bai Qi, I finally got you."
Charles Britta smiled as he looked at Bai Qi and Zhuge Xu and Zhuge Chen, father and son, who were getting off the plane, and went forward to greet them.
"This is your son, right?"
"That's right. It's a rare opportunity, so let's bring them out to see the world."
Charles shook hands with Zhuge Xu, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "I didn't expect that Master Bai Qi would come here too. It's really an honor for our Britta family."
"I don't dare."
Bai Qi smiled, but his eyes unconsciously drifted towards a group of people walking towards a house in the distance.
That's Dean Berg?
Noticing Bai Qi's look, Charles turned around and smiled, "What a coincidence, the Berg family is also here to discuss the purchase of Mingling Gold. Why don't you all come together?"
"That's indeed a coincidence."
Zhuge Xu smiled, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
It's still the same old routine as before.
Charles took the two of them to the reception room, where several members of the Borg family were already waiting, accompanied by a middle-aged man who looked similar to Charles but was obviously older.
"You have all met several members of the Borg family, so I will not introduce them one by one. This is my brother and the patriarch of our Britta family, Wells Britta."
Charles introduced himself as his brother, and Wells was very polite and asked Bai Qi and others to take a seat.
"Master Bai Qi, I didn't expect that we would meet so soon."
John Borg looked at Bai Qi with a smile, and Dean beside him had the same expression, gentle and formulaic.
"I didn't expect it to be so fast."
Bai Qi smiled helplessly. He had just rejected their invitation when the Super God Evolution Research Institute opened, but now it was delivered to his door. It was really a slap in the face.
"But since we've met, why don't we stop by our Borg family after we finish discussing this?"
John seemed to be obsessed with inviting Bai Qi to their family and invited him again. Bai Qi was about to refuse, but unexpectedly Zhuge Xu stopped him.
"Sorry to bother you then."
Zhuge Xu smiled, and accepted John's invitation in Bai Qi's surprised eyes, then looked at Wells and said, " But let's discuss the matter of Mingling Gold first."
"Indeed."
Wells smiled and said, "You two are both business tycoons, so I won't go into details. This is the amount of Mingling Gold that our Britta family can provide to the outside world every year. We can ensure that we can provide it steadily according to this data for the next 20 years, so you don't have to worry about the supply problem."
"In the past, the Borg family and the Tsukumo Group accounted for 80% of this volume. This year, due to the Super God Evolution Research Institute, our Britta family has stopped cooperating with those retail investors, but now it seems that it is still not enough."
Charles pushed the information in front of the two people and said, "The Tsukugawa Group said that they only need 10 % of it, so the remaining 90% is provided to you two."
"As for how to divide the profits, since both of you are here today, why not just discuss it face to face? Our Britta Family won't make the decision on our own."
He is indeed an old fox. He is throwing the blame away now?
Bai Qi secretly raised a thumbs up when he saw this. On one side was a business partner with whom he had cooperated for many years, and on the other side was a newly developed rising star. No matter which side was wronged, the Britta family could not be a good person.
If we kick the ball to them like we are doing now, no matter what the result is, the Britta family will not lose less money and will not offend anyone.
This routine is really too deep.
"Ninety percent?"
Zhuge Xu nodded slightly, a gleam in his eyes, and was about to discuss with John, but John spoke first.
"Since the Tsukatora Group has given up their share, it will be very simple."
John Borg smiled and said, "Our Borg family originally held 50%. We are willing to take out 10% and hand it over to the Super God Evolution Research Institute together with the remaining 40%. What do you think?"
"Um?"
Zhuge Xu's eyes narrowed when he heard this, but they were soon replaced by a smile. He said, "Hahaha... Since Mr. John is so straightforward, it would be a bit unfair for me to continue to pester him. I'll take five and you take four. It's decided."
"good."
The two men smiled at each other and shook hands to reach an agreement. The speed was so fast that even Wells and Charles on the side were a little surprised.
However, as the hosts, they would not interfere with the decision of the two. Instead, they skillfully took the contract from the side and handed it to the two for confirmation and signature.
"Bai Qi, please sign your name here."
Zhuge Xu patted Bai Qi, who was a little confused, and said.
“Is this the end?”
Bai Qi was a little confused and signed the contract under Zhuge Xu's guidance like a puppet.
I thought there would be a heated debate, but it ended in just a few words. Could this be the legendary return to nature?
"Since the discussion went so smoothly, why don't we have dinner at the Britta family? I have asked someone to prepare a dinner. You can take a break here tonight and discuss other matters tomorrow. How do you think?"
Wells stood up and invited everyone.
"Okay, let's rest here for the night. Master Bai Qi and Chairman Zhuge will accompany us to the Borg family tomorrow."
John nodded slightly and said with a smile : "Since losing to Master Bai Qi, Dean has been very motivated."
"Yes, if there is a chance, I would also like to ask Master Bai Qi for some guidance again."
Dean bowed slightly to Bai Qi, exuding an arrogant and aristocratic air.
"Uh, no problem, no problem."
Bai Qi twitched the corner of his mouth. What he hated most was dealing with these people, but now that Zhuge Xu had agreed to it on his behalf, he had no choice.
"In that case, please follow me."
Seeing this, Wells smiled and led everyone out. Bai Qi finally seized the opportunity and approached Zhuge Xu to ask.
"Uncle Zhuge, don't we have to hurry back? Why did you suddenly agree to go to the Borg family?"
Zhuge Xu turned around after hearing this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Of course there is something else. You will know when you go there."
Playing charades again?
Can't you just say it directly?
Bai Qi sighed upon seeing this, and became more determined not to deal with businessmen in the future.
There is no other way. It is really tiring. I would rather do simpler research.
