I ask you to design equipment, but you do science fiction for me?

Su Chen has an exceptionally strong memory. After the group finished their introductions, he had basically learned all of their personal information.

Moreover, Su Chen has always paid close attention to Earth and is quite familiar with the conglomerates on Earth.

He knew the identities and backgrounds of these people.

After everyone sat down, Su Chen spoke first.

First of all, I welcome everyone to come here, and secondly, I hope they can help promote it when they go back.

Everyone readily agreed.

Then, Su Chen changed the subject and asked them to share their thoughts.

Everyone immediately began to chat intently.

Those who hadn't yet spoken were carefully considering what to say when it was their turn, and what kind of words would move Su Chen's heart.

These people were all quite eloquent, and they talked on and on.

Some of the things people said really touched Su Chen's heart.

After their previous conversation with Tang Yumo, they understood that Su Chen and his group did not seem to value personal gain, but rather cared more about the development of the people.

Therefore, their main focus changed, completely catering to Su Chen's thinking.

This made Su Chen waver a little.

If things are really as they think and say, then cooperating with them is not out of the question.

Moreover, Su Chen also wanted to vigorously develop the universe, but the difficulties were quite great.

The difficulty wasn't in construction itself, but rather in the pressure from other sources.

Some things are not something Su Chen can decide on his own.

After everyone had finished speaking, Su Chen shared his opinion.

He expressed his welcome to everyone to come to the universe to build and conduct business.

Then he talked about the difficulties.

He didn't explain the difficulty very clearly, but everyone present was a smart person.

As soon as Su Chen explained, they understood what kind of difficulty it was.

Everyone assured Su Chen that they didn't need to worry about this; as long as Su Chen agreed to cooperate with them, they could handle the rest.

Su Chen thought about it seriously for a moment, but did not give a final answer.

"Okay, I'll go back and study it carefully, and I'll get back to you with a definite answer."

Even after Su Chen left, everyone was still very excited.

But after the initial excitement, everyone suddenly calmed down and discovered a number of problems.

If they leave now, who will Su Chen contact?
Even if Su Chen contacts someone, will that person even think of them?
Will they monopolize all the benefits?

In an instant, a multitude of ideas popped into everyone's minds.

Ultimately, they decided to stay on the tourist planet for a while longer, since the place was vast and there were many places they hadn't yet visited.

They can wait until Su Chen makes a decision before leaving.

They found the guide and told him they wanted to stay for a while.

The guide looked very troubled and shook his head in frustration. "Didn't you say you were leaving soon? I've already booked the interstellar warships for you to leave on."

"You suddenly decided not to leave, which is quite troublesome. I need to consult with my superiors to see if they will approve it."

The tourists immediately became a little unhappy.

They are tourists.

Why can't they stay here a few more days? How can they treat tourists like this?
Despite their many grievances, everyone held back.

A day later, the guide told them that they could linger here for a while.

However, once Su Chen's message came down, they had to leave and couldn't stay any longer. Although they were tourists, tourists couldn't stay here indefinitely.

Their time here is limited.

Su Chen thought about it for a moment first.

He felt that the collaboration was feasible, but he personally didn't want to do those things.

So he specifically convened a video conference, the main topic of which was Tang Yumo, Wang Jianfeng, and a few others.

No one knew what the meeting was about.

Tang Yumo knew something, and when she looked at Su Chen, she gave him a very dissatisfied look.

Su Chen ignored him and asked about the situation at each base with a smile. Everyone stood up and reported one by one.

There's nothing going on with Earth 2, and nothing's going on with Professor Wang either; everything is moving in a positive direction.

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject and started talking about tourism.

We first exchanged information about various aspects of tourism, and then we talked about the tourists this time.

“These tourists are all wealthy individuals, business geniuses, and people with a lot of influence on Earth. They talked to me a while ago, wanting to cooperate with us.”

"I think they do have great capabilities in some areas, and I hope to cooperate with them in some aspects. I wonder what you think."

Wang Jianfeng immediately frowned. It wasn't that he was against cooperating with these people, but he was wondering why they hadn't discussed this matter with him.

Why did they talk to Su Chen?

Do you feel like you have no influence or power?
Or perhaps, the Earth 2 tour simply didn't appeal to them.

Wang Jianfeng was the first to ask a question.

"What kind of cooperation are they going to engage in, and can their cooperation guarantee safety?"

"I don't think these people have any good intentions, and they don't align with our values, so let's just forget about it."

Su Chen glared at him, annoyed, and said very bluntly, "I think their proposed plan is very good, and it is also people-oriented. I was just thinking of discussing it with you. Let's find someone to have an in-depth discussion with them."

"If we can cooperate, then let's cooperate. Having more friends means having more options. There's no need to have unpleasantness with them."

"After all, there are so many wealthy people. If we really fall out with them, it won't have any impact on us, but things will be different when we get back to Earth."

They looked at each other and agreed that Su Chen's words made a lot of sense.

However, no one had any ideas about who should talk to this group of people.

Everyone looked at Su Chen, seemingly wondering who he thought was better.

However, Su Chen's gaze fell on Chen Anrong.

He felt that Chen Anrong was very suitable for this job because she had done similar work before.

He was quite adept at this, while others were not so good at it.

Chen Anrong understood what Su Chen meant as soon as he saw her. However, she didn't volunteer; she felt it was best to let Su Chen and the others decide on this matter.

If I were to take the initiative to accept this matter, I would likely face opposition from some people.

Thinking of this, he also took a special look at Tang Yumo, who was resting with her eyes closed.

At this moment, Tang Yumo suddenly opened her eyes, first glancing at everyone present, and then fixing her gaze on Chen Anrong.

To everyone's astonishment, he actually nominated Chen Anrong.

Chen Anrong was the most surprised and stood up excitedly, quickly shaking her head, "I, I can't do it."

Tang Yumo curled her lips and said coldly, "Alright, stop pretending. You're the only one who fits the bill."

“We can’t handle this, but we’ve assigned it to you. You’d better do it well, or we’ll hold you accountable.”

After saying that, he glanced at the somewhat bewildered Wang Jianfeng and asked him with a grin, "Do you have any objections? You wouldn't be reluctant to let us use this person, would you?"

Wang Jianfeng smiled and said, "How could that be? We're all on the same side."

"Chen Anrong is part of our team, so naturally we will listen to everyone's opinions."

He then frowned and said cautiously, "I agree to let Chen Anrong contact them, but I personally still reserve my opinion from before."

"I don't think it's necessary to cooperate with them. Would the higher-ups agree to our cooperation? Actually, this kind of thing should be led by the higher-ups, and we just need to cooperate."

“If we cooperate directly with that group now, I think the higher-ups will definitely have objections.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing that Wang Jianfeng's words made sense.

Then everyone turned their attention to Su Chen.

Su Chen said, "You don't need to worry about this issue. If there are any problems from above, I will talk to them directly, and it won't affect you."

"If the higher-ups come looking for you, just shift all the blame onto me."

He then looked at Chen Anrong and asked her with a smile if she was confident in completing the task.

This time, Chen Anrong didn't make any boastful remarks.

He thoroughly analyzed the current situation, and when Su Chen asked him if he was confident, he decisively replied, "I'm not very confident. I think this matter is quite difficult."

"Based on my understanding of that group, they are still primarily driven by personal interests, which doesn't align with our thinking."

"Even if they say nice things on the surface, I personally think they won't make any concessions in terms of actual actions, so I don't think this cooperation has much of a chance of success."

Su Chen smiled and nodded, which was why he chose Chen Anrong.

Because Chen Anrong knew those people very well; as the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

It would be best to let Chen Anrong come into contact with them, as he is able to see through some people's thoughts and won't be deceived by them.

If it were Tang Yumo, the chances of him being deceived would be extremely high.

As for the others, needless to say, they didn't have any particularly good methods for dealing with this group.

After the video conference ended, Su Chen had a conversation with the group of tourists, the meaning of which was very simple.

Su Chen was willing to cooperate with them, but he asked them to talk to Chen Anrong about the specifics of the cooperation and what projects they should work on.

The group was overjoyed. After saying goodbye to Su Chen, they immediately boarded the interstellar warship and returned to Earth 2 to have a detailed discussion with Chen Anrong.

Wang Jianfeng never showed his face from beginning to end; he did not want to get involved in this matter.

He wanted to be an observer, silently watching the unfolding events.

I hope to learn something from this.

Of course, he can also stand up and shield Chen Anrong or Su Chen from harm at crucial moments.

If anyone uses this incident as a pretext to attack Su Chen, he can step forward and take full responsibility.

That's why he hasn't shown up.

Inside the meeting room, Chen Anrong was listening to their plan.

This group of people is truly remarkable. When they learned that they were to have a conversation with Chen Anrong, they had already begun to formulate a plan. Some of them had already written a plan, and the thick plan was placed in front of Chen Anrong, blocking his people.

Chen Anrong did not look at the plans immediately, but listened to the group's ideas.

They say nice things, that they would rather gain no benefits than not build a home for humanity.

Many people's goal is to establish a planet and create another Earth on it.

They've even considered things like immigration.

After listening to everyone's thoughts, Chen Anrong smiled and said, "I basically understand your thoughts, but you have overlooked a most fatal problem."

"In the universe as we know it, there are very few places similar to Earth."

"Currently, apart from the tourist destination that Su Chen found and Earth 2, the other planets are not suitable for human habitation."

"We don't know when we'll find a third habitable planet."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood what Chen Anrong meant.

Some people have suggested that a place for human habitation could be built on a tourist destination or on Earth 2.

Chen Anrong shook her head, immediately rejecting their idea.

"No, absolutely not."

"Earth 2 has its uses, but there are no plans for it at present. Even if there were such plans, they would not be in cooperation with you, but with the higher-ups."

“You should be very clear about this, and you can’t interfere.”

"As for a tourism planet, that's even more impossible. You should know from the name that it's a request specifically for tourism."

"If you want to establish a place for humans to live on other planets, then you can only look for a third planet."

The crowd's expressions turned slightly grim after hearing this.

At this moment, Chen Anrong poured cold water on their enthusiasm again.

"Even if we find a planet suitable for human habitation, we cannot cooperate with any one of you alone."

"Such a large planet, I'm afraid you don't have the financial resources, so we're cooperating. You should understand that, right?"

The group looked at each other, and remained silent for a long time.

They had considered collaboration, but they hadn't imagined so many people working together.

There were simply too many people present; if everyone were to cooperate, it would greatly reduce their profits.

Of course, no one wants this to happen.

One of them stepped forward and said with a smile, "I don't think it's necessary for so many people to cooperate."

"Of course, it's impossible to cooperate alone. I think it's enough to find some capable people to cooperate with. As for those who are not capable, there is no need for them to participate."

The moment those words were spoken, many people's expressions changed. (End of Chapter)
