I'm in Terra, governing a weird little country.

He said seriously and hopefully:

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

This time it was Hullhaiya's turn to turn away her face with a guilty conscience and cast her gaze into the distance.

We can talk about this quietly in private.

In public, we don’t need to be so straightforward.

Chapter 43 Kristen: Ernst named you, Nasty

Rhine Life Building, Tremont, Columbia.

There is no need to elaborate on the deeds of Rhine's life. Its glory and honor are like the bright moon and stars in the sky, bright and dizzying.

In just a few years - compared to the time scale for the rise of an ordinary industry giant, it is indeed only an extremely short period of time - it has grown into a pivotal presence in the Tremont scientific research community.Even a beach umbrella that is a long-established company with many years of reputation and the support of a large chaebol is now on par with Rheinland Life in the order of the city government's annual thank-you speech.

It has gotten rid of the shabby word "waiting" in "famous enterprises in the city such as beach umbrellas".

Why Rheinland Life has achieved today's achievements is inseparable from its legendary founder.

Kristen Wright is the only daughter of the genius scientist Wright and his wife. This title alone is enough to prove the difference of the strong woman known as "General", but what really gilded the name of the founder of Rheinland Life However, it is her own achievements in the field of scientific research.

"You may not understand what it means to be an all-rounder."

"From high-energy physics to biochemical environmental materials, from polar engineering to archaeological excavations, Kristen is proficient in everything that can be called science. Note my wording, it is proficient, not understanding."

"There is no doubt that she is such a character. For any scientist with ambitions and questions, she has the charm of a medium-rare Kobe camel steak from the East. It makes people have a heartfelt appreciation for her brain. Drooling.”

"Haha, you are right. As the chief of the structural department, my biggest wish in this life is to live longer so that I can cut open Christen's skull with my own hands and see how the so-called geniuses compare with mediocre people like us. What are the differences between people at the physiological level?"

Holding the coffee cup, Caprini, who always maintained a smiling expression, took a sip of the fragrant black bean tea in the cup and said to himself thoughtfully,

"There must be something different."

The visiting interns looked at each other with expressions of confusion and even panic on their faces. They seemed to be at a loss for what to do when the famous biologist Professor Parves actually made such a terrorist-like statement.

But Parvis just shook his head indifferently.

"You will understand sooner or later."

"Understand what?"

A cold voice came from the door of the department, instantly attracting Parvez's attention. He almost jumped down from the rotating chair in a posture completely inconsistent with the old man's clumsy legs and feet, and looked at the clothes at the door. The blond woman, who could only express regret, said in surprise:

"How come the commander-in-chief has time to come to my place?"

"Just passing by by chance."

She glanced at the few interns in the department.These are the best of this generation carefully selected by Director Yala of the Human Resources Department.

But there was nothing in it that made Christen's eyes light up.

She quickly withdrew her gaze and ordered:

"There will be a section chief meeting at three o'clock. Remember to arrive on time."

Parvez pushed up his glasses, and his pupils reflected in the glass revealed a bit of disbelief:

"emergency meeting?"

Kristen nodded and affirmed in a tone that was completely inconsistent with the content: "It's very important."

.............

"Everyone is here, I will now announce that the meeting has begun."

Christen glanced at the people in the conference room, including Seria from the Defense Department, Muir Seth from the Ecology Department, Ferdinand from the Energy Department, Yara from the Human Resources Department, and Parvis from the Structure Department. , all five founders of Rheinland Life were present, as were Nasty, Director of the Engineering Department, and Justin, Director of the Business Department, who joined later.

The only absentee position belongs to Mariam, the director of the Science and Technology Section. This man, who is more of an adventurer than a scientist, is currently in the remote Sami Icefield. When Kristen's parents' aircraft development failed, they popped rice on the spot. , it was obviously impossible for him to catch up with this meeting in time.

Fortunately, no one questioned the fact that he was not present, and everyone was used to it.

After Kristen's announcement, Mulseth was the first to ask the question on everyone's mind:

"Why is Kristen so anxious to get everyone together?"

She was genuinely curious.

Christen is a maverick. Although he is the general manager of Rheinland Life, he has a saying that "if you can find Kristen in the general office, something big will happen to Rheinland Life today."It fully proves that the causal influence in the office is comparable to that of Wang Feng releasing a new song.

And the emergency meeting of section chiefs held like this has only happened three times in the history of Rhine Life.

Once, it was to formally establish a department system in Rheinland Life Sciences. The remaining two times were to introduce Justin to establish the business department and Nasty to establish the engineering department.

Obviously, they are all related to the new department of Rheinland Life.

Therefore, Mulseth is extremely looking forward to it: "Are we going to have a new friend again? Will it be the genius this time? Let me guess, is it Mr. Levi who has become famous recently? Or... .”

"The purpose of our meeting is not to add new departments." Kristen interrupted Muir Seth's voice crisply.

The water elf pursed his lips in grievance and turned away his head: "Kristen is still like this, with no emotional intelligence at all! Destroyer of atmosphere!"

Unexpectedly, Ceria also helped: "Director Muirseth, please stop for a moment, be more serious first, and listen to Christen's words before speaking."

"You too, Atmosphere Destroyer No. [-]!" Muir Seth waved his fist, looking like he was going to hit Muir-style water punch.

It's a pity that neither Kristen nor Seria paid any attention to her.

Mulseth had no choice but to give up his plan to liven up the atmosphere and lay on the table like a puddle of melted jelly.

"We are here to discuss a cooperation." Christen continued, "A cooperation proposed by the Kjerag government, brokered by Mr. Cliff, the CEO of Black Steel International."

"They are willing to open Kjerag's highest peak, the Matterhorn, to us for limited scientific research. Of course, it's a deal."

"What do they want?" Little Justin was the first to speak. He is the director of the Business Department and is extremely sensitive to the word transaction. "Sherag, we are a neighboring country but a very unfamiliar country. Their government sent us such a deal. , do you want something from us?"

"Advanced weapons? The latest scientific research results? Or..."

Little Justin's face turned gloomy, and his smiling expression looked a little scary.

"They want to get information from us about the Colombian military?"

Kristen shook her head.

Little Justin may be a little too smart, and actually thinks of Kjerag as a country on the same level as Colombia.

But actually?It is still unknown whether Kjerag's GDP in one year is greater or less than Rhine Life's revenue in one year. What is the use of the Colombian military's intelligence?

Even if Ernst knew that he would be beaten tomorrow, could Ernst still resist?

He was probably just shocked, and then he continued to live his miserable life today.

"Then what do they want?"

Seeing Kristen's denial, little Justin frowned and asked in confusion.

Kristen recalled the words of "Bridge Clamp" Cliff in the phone call from Black Steel a few hours ago in her mind, and replied:

"They want money."

"Huh?" Little Justin was stunned, apparently not realizing that Ernst's goal was so pure.

"More." Kristen gasped.

Little Justin was relieved: "Sure enough, I knew it wouldn't be so simple."

Christen stretched out her hand and pointed at the indifferent lady who was leaning on a chair in the room and had not said a word or had any unnecessary expression since the beginning of the meeting: "They want Nasty..."

Nasty suddenly came back to her senses when her name was called, and looked at Kristen with an expression full of confusion.

The confusion was not directed at "the other party actually asked me by name", but was directed at Kristen "the other party asked me by name to take me into the mountains, but you didn't refuse on the spot, and even held a special meeting to ask me."

She looked at Christen suspiciously, as if to say: "You don't really want to sell me, do you?"

But Kristen seemed not to notice Nasty’s expression at all, and said in another epic sentence:

"Take the employees from the engineering department to help them build infrastructure."

To get rich, build roads first!

Everyone was silent for a while, and after confirming that Christen had nothing to say, they breathed a sigh of relief.They looked at each other and said:

"Approved, specific terms can be negotiated."

Chapter 44 I'm dancing on three eggs

"Hello, Ms. Nasty."

Stretching out his hand and shaking the cold-faced succubus lady in front of him, Ernst was in a particularly good mood.

Although this idea had been around since Cliff proposed it, the road to actually contacting Rhine Life was not smooth.

Rhine Life is a big company, whether it is on Terra or on Earth. When a company gets big enough, the governments of small and weak countries will have nothing to do with it.

Even more seriously, even the government will be affected by such large enterprises and even become their puppet.

The most vivid examples are the East India Company during the period when the British sun never set on Earth, the United Fruit supported by the United States in Central America, and the Commercial Federation active in Casimir on Terra.

Ernst has never used the power of the government to open any backdoors for his brother Enxiodis' Kalan trade. He has also continued to slowly recover part of the profits from Kjerag's various industries monopolized by Kalan trade, also to prevent this. A situation arises.

Establishing the Engineering Department, appointing his confidant Lola as the minister, and inviting foreign experts and teams to carry out the overall planning and construction of Kjelag's infrastructure are some of the specific operations Ernst made under the guidance of this concept.

But preventing local capitalists from becoming bigger and influencing the government is one thing. Just because you want to check and balance local capitalists, you can't attract more powerful and difficult-to-control foreign capital, right?

If the former seizes power, the meat will rot in the pot, but if the latter does not perform well, it will become a rare event!

Therefore, Ernst has always maintained a considerable degree of wait-and-see and doubt about the introduction of Tremont's large scientific research enterprises.

But the appearance of Hallhaiya made Ernst put away this worry.

Apart from her usual tendency to tease her boss, this newly appointed secretary is indeed very good in other aspects.Seeing that Ernst had doubts about cooperation, she explained the stakes to Ernst very concisely.

"Boss, your worries are very reasonable, and your concerns are enough to be called foresight. But I still have to remind you, can Kjerag really develop completely on his own without the help of external help? In other words, Can you really rely on yourself to develop into what you ideally want?"

Ernst was silent.

Although Huerhaiya did not use any fancy rhetoric in his words, he pointed out the simple truth to the point.

The country is small, the people are poor, the thinking is ignorant, and the technology is backward. Compared with the vast wilderness of Terra, Kjerag's only advantage is the simple and tenacious people on this land, including Yeragond.

But this man-eating land will not let you go just because you are a good person. Under the international rules of the jungle, simplicity equals ignorance, and tenacity equals being bullied.

When the British used naval cannons to shatter the old dream of a celestial empire, they failed to discipline the Chinese people for thousands of years of gentleness, respect, thrift and humiliation.
