Chapter 681 Hello Uncle!
In fact, Jacques Cole had always believed that Amber would take this opportunity to meet her "uncle" once, not to mention that he came with Isabel.

However, Jacques Cole did not expect that Amber would come to his door the day after his visit. You know, he attended the dinner and cocktail party arranged by Her Royal Highness the Princess last night. There were so many imperial nobles present, and who knows how many of them wanted to get close to him.

In this good time for business expansion, he was not busy developing business for Atlas Group, but came to me instead.
"I don't know if this kid really wants to visit me, his 'uncle', or if he is so greedy that he wants to get in touch with the Imperial Finance Minister?"

Jacques Cole thought for a moment and then said, "'Wojin', all unfinished matters - whether official or 'personal' - will be moved to tomorrow's to-do list and given a higher priority."

"Yes, my lord."

As soon as Woking finished his words, the virtual screen on Jacques Cole's desk cleared all the data and information, and then the Chancellor of the Exchequer stood up and walked towards the cubicle inside the office.

"Let's arrange to meet in the office in fifteen minutes. By the way, clean up the office."

Jacques Cole walked into the cubicle after he finished speaking, and the entire office began to be cleaned under the control of Woking. The air purifier began to operate at the highest power, making the air in the room feel brand new. At the same time, some aromatherapy ingredients were added. Several hidden cleaning robots also started working. The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were completely opened, and the fill light also made the room brightness reach the most comfortable state.

In just a few minutes, the Chancellor's office, which had originally been a bit messy, quickly returned to its proper neatness and solemnity.

Jacques Kohl also took this opportunity to quickly tidy up his appearance and put on a new set of clothes. After all, he was the empire's finance minister and he could not lose face for the empire in front of the "guest" who came from afar.

Fifteen minutes later, when Amber walked into the Chancellor's office under the guidance of a Treasury official, the first person she saw was Jacques Kohl, who was sitting behind a huge desk, dressed neatly and looking dignified.

"Mr. Amber"

"Long time no see, uncle~"

Amber blurted out the word "uncle", which almost made Jacques Cole lose his temper on the spot. He had to admit that this rising star was just as the intelligence said, and he never played by the rules.

"I'm very busy. Mr. Amber doesn't have time to joke with you." Jacques Cole frowned, then picked up the freshly brewed tea on the table and took a sip.

"That's great, Mr. Jacques Cole, I'll just say it directly~"

Amber sat down on the chair opposite the desk naturally, like an old acquaintance, and then said:
"Uncle, what is your attitude towards Her Royal Highness Princess Agnes's imminent ascension to the throne?"

"puff"
-
Amber first came up with the idea of ​​"investing" in Agnes when the Atlas Group had just had a conflict with the Regent's faction.

After that, Baron Bass's many visits and Agnes's dispatch of a fleet to help, this idea became more and more serious.

The conversation with Agnes in the car on the day of visiting the imperial capital also made Amber completely understand the respective needs of both parties.

The Atlas Group hopes to formally develop its business in the Empire, and preferably control the entire industry chain step by step, just like the current Federation.

As for Agnes, she hoped to have enough support and trump cards to allow her to ascend the throne smoothly due to the domestic political crisis. It can be said that the cooperation between the two parties was, to a certain extent, mutually beneficial and complementary.

Amber hopes that Atlas Group will use Agnes' influence as the princess of the empire to expand its capital. If she can successfully ascend the throne, it will be even better. In this way, Atlas Group will directly become the "Empress's Selection". Agnes hopes to introduce this huge world-class giant to increase her bargaining chips for a smooth succession. At the same time, she can also use the economic benefits generated by Atlas Group to enhance the strength of the empire.

So sometimes, hitting it off right away is not just talk.

Of course, this is just the general idea of ​​Agnes and Amber. Many details naturally need to be coordinated by the teams of both sides. However, one thing that is clear at present is that both parties really want to cooperate.

Amber's 'psychic power' and Agnes's 'dragon power' both have certain abilities of mind reading and lie detection, so during the conversation between the two parties - including a formal conversation after the cocktail party, they also used these abilities to test each other, and the final result was a happy ending for everyone.

Therefore, the welcome dinner last night became Amber's first inspection of the business environment in the Protoss Empire, especially the "Princess Party" forces.

Sometimes, Amber had to admit that psychic power was indeed a good thing, but the resources invested by humans in this world were all used to study how to use psychic power as a weapon.

In fact, this strange energy has many wonderful uses, such as greatly enhancing the psychic's charisma and eloquence, and giving him a certain degree of mind-reading ability.

After putting all these together, Amber successfully became the 'succubus' at the welcome dinner.

Originally, most of the nobles who came to attend the welcome dinner came for Princess Agnes's sake, and most of them wanted to take the opportunity to show their loyalty and become familiar with her. After all, the opportunity to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess is not always available on a daily basis.

However, when Amber began to move around the banquet and talk like a duck in water, the focus of the dinner soon shifted to him.

Because these nobles ultimately want to seek more benefits and expand their own families. When the powerful world enterprise Atlas Group appeared, business opportunities also emerged.

The final result was that Amber, through this welcome dinner, at least found out the business and economic situation of the main nobles in the "Princess Party" and conducted a simple investigation.

It can be said that the Star Dragon Empire is a blue ocean for the Atlas Group.

These "cute" imperial nobles may be masters in making money and exploiting projects, and may have their own unique insights, but in terms of economic development or economic thinking, they are indeed much worse than the giants in the Federation, and can even be said to be silly and cute in some aspects.

Fortunately, the economic exchanges between the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire were not close before, and the huge territories of both sides were enough for two huge countries to operate independently. If the two sides had closer economic exchanges, the Federation could have used economic warfare to make the Star Dragon Empire suffer.

But now that the Atlas Group is here, Amber believes that with the efforts of her colleagues at the Financial Business Center, they can also make up for this "regret" for these imperial nobles.

In order to achieve all of the above, Agnes' successful succession to the throne is the key.

So Amber quickly thought of Isabelle's uncle Jacques Cole. He remembered that the Imperial Chancellor of Finance seemed to be a "neutral" with high status and great power. If he could be persuaded to support Agnes, the situation would immediately become different. Other "neutral" people would also regard it as a "weather vane", which would ultimately affect their decisions.

What's more, if the Atlas Group wants to expand its business across the empire, it will definitely have to take on the key position of Chancellor of the Exchequer, which is why Amber rushed to the Ministry of Finance to find this cheap uncle the day after her visit.
