Chapter 1509: Race Against Time

That's right, if there is only one of this gem, it is garbage. A thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand of them are also garbage.

This is definitely not a derogatory statement made to deliberately lower the price, but an objective fact.

Because this gem has no [patent], as soon as this gem comes out, [Hermes' Traveling Hat] will mine it at a high speed with power several times greater than their combined strength, and they will hire foreigners to mine it.

Once this gem is exposed, neither the treasure house of Atlantis nor the marine resources will have anything to do with them.

Therefore, this gem is not only garbage, it may even be the final blow that strengthens [Hermes's Traveling Cap] and makes it impossible for them to turn the situation around.

Judging from the current situation, this gem and the related information should be destroyed.

The big guy looked at Naylan dimly, and finally sat down.

If it was when the ocean world first appeared, he would have done so without hesitation, but the current situation does not allow him to do so.

[Hermes' Traveling Hat] had not previously exploited marine resources, not only because they were developing the infinitely valuable Sea of ​​Golden Apple Trees, but the bigger reason was that even when [Hermes' Traveling Hat] was facing the infinite ocean world, it still needed to think carefully before exploiting it.

This is an investment in which the risk and reward are not proportional, and it can be regarded as a gamble with your life.

Normally, the decision to commit resources to exploit the ocean world would take years.

But now, in order to repair the teleportation tower, [Hermes's Traveling Hat] has to go to the ocean world to salvage the [Ika Black Stone]. It would be a daydream to say that [Hermes's Traveling Hat] only knows how to salvage the [Ika Black Stone].

Since we have already invested the resources, we might as well develop the marine resources as well.

So, needless to say, where is the origin of this gem that allows land creatures to breathe in the sea and resist water pressure.

This is a race against time with no choice. If they hesitate for a moment and let the [Hermes' Traveling Hat] discover the gem first, they will never be able to turn things around.

But neither the big guy nor the representatives of other chaebols made any movement. The more urgent the situation, the calmer and more indifferent they had to be.

If you miss an opportunity, you may never recover. But there is a saying that goes, "As long as you have the green mountains, you will never worry about having firewood." The wealth accumulated over hundreds of years is a huge green mountain.

But if they choose the opportunity, they will be gambling with Qingshan. They have the courage to gamble, but the prerequisite is that they must be able to see their cards.

"As expected of a wealthy tycoon, he is very patient. That's right, if he didn't even have this much sophistication, he would have become cannon fodder."

Naylan spread his hands, then changed the subject and asked a question.

"How much [Ica Black Stone] do you have in stock? This question should not be difficult to answer."

After a moment's silence, the representatives of the chaebols revealed their respective reserves of [Ika Black Stone].

"Only 15 tons? Ladies and gentlemen, you are the rebels who want to overthrow the king [Hermes's Brigade Cap]. [Ika Black Stone] is your only weapon, and you have only prepared this little?" Naylan shook his head.

The big guy didn't get angry, but lowered his voice to explain. "Although Hermes's Travel Hat doesn't have a monopoly on Ika Black Stone, the mining of this kind of stone is quite difficult. This amount is the amount we have obtained after investing as much resources as possible."

"We once disdained Hermes's Brigade Hat's plan to complete the teleportation tower network because of the difficulty involved."

"I'm sorry, but in order to complete my plan, you must invest resources at all costs and race against time to snatch the Ika Black Stone from the Ocean World from the Hermes' Traveling Cap." Naylan gave the big guy a provocative smile and put emphasis on "my plan".

It sounded like he was going to use the big chaebol as a tool, but the big guy who looked the most irritable didn't seem excited at all, and even raised his chin to let Naylan continue.

"You guys are so patient."

"We are businessmen, not wealthy aristocrats. We survive like businessmen. We propose plans, calculate risks and benefits, and then invest without hesitation." The big man crossed his fingers, and his rough face showed the calmness of a big businessman.

When wealth accumulates to a certain level, the chaebol will develop uncontrollably in the direction of wealthy aristocrats, and few people can refuse the title of "noble blood".

But at that moment, they were already dead as chaebols, and their thinking and way of life all turned into those of wealthy aristocrats.

Facts have proved that the mere accumulation of wealth cannot turn one into a true aristocrat. They will not have the pride of a true aristocrat. They will only eat feed like pigs in a pen, and then one day become a delicacy on the table.

Only by always using the greed and rationality of a businessman can you become a wild boar galloping in the wild.

"It seems that you are indeed a good partner, so I have to let you see my trump card."

"First." Naylan raised a finger and stopped being mysterious. "The salvage yield of the Ica Black Stone is in units of one nautical mile. The probability is completely random, but there is a pattern. I can increase the success rate to more than 75%."

"In this way, our mining efficiency and investment effect will be much higher than [Hermes's Travel Hat]."

The big guy nodded, but didn't ask Naylan what he could do. There was no way to be sure about this kind of thing, and you would know if it was true or not once you tried it.

"Second, the secret of the Ica Black Stone."

Naylan raised a second finger, and the smile on his face became strange.

"Everyone only knows that it can be used as the core of a teleportation tower, but it also has another identity, which is the fragment of the palace of the lost kingdom of Atlantis."

"Whoever possesses more Ica Black Stones will be the legitimate heir to the ocean kingdom of Atlantis. Do you want me to tell you the third trump card?"

"No, this is enough." The big guy stood up, representing his chaebol in joining the plan. Representatives of other chaebols also stood up one by one to symbolize their joining.

The only way to deal with [Hermes's Traveling Hat] is to abide by the rules of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] and fight it fair and square.

If you become the heir of the ocean kingdom Atlantis, then [Hermes' Traveling Hat] will negotiate with them according to the trading rules it has set in order to obtain the resources of Atlantis and even the entire ocean world.

[Hermes' Traveling Hat] will not mine secretly, nor will it engage in malicious competition, because every gold coin earned by [Hermes' Traveling Hat] is only filled with trust and hope, and will not be tainted by any misfortune.
