Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"Let them come up. Rhodes Island has no reason to refuse friendly visitors." Ceria decided to take a first step and take a look. This kind of business cooperation and negotiation is normal in Colombia. It doesn't matter whether we can negotiate with Chengdu, even if it is a knock on the bones and suck the marrow. The Colombian financial market still has the most basic social etiquette. Trading is not ethical, but it is adaptable most of the time.

Before those people went to her office, Seria sent a text message to Ashes, asking her to be prepared to investigate the purpose of the other party's actions. Ashes immediately took action and started following the channels provided by Seria. Do some of the most superficial public research possible.

"Dear lady in charge, on behalf of Mother John, we propose to Rhode Island a friendly cooperation intention, which can provide Rhode Island with a high profit share."

After a brief conversation between the two parties, the representative handed Seria a planning document and said that this was the cooperation project they proposed this time, and then asked Seria to read it.

Seria opened the cover, and then she realized that her eyelids were beating crazily. Good guy, these people have noticed Rhode Island's high-profile medical technology display, and want to use Rhode Island's reputation to Through cooperation, they promote the health products they are about to launch.

Health products, when this term is mentioned, Seria feels a headache. She knows very well that there are some so-called health products on the market, which promote that they can avoid diseases, and even claim that they have some kind of curative effect. In the current Terran continent, , in an environment where there are no written administrative and legal regulations for advertising management, the several existing products are doing their best to promote their efficacy.

However, the pharmacology laboratory in Rhode Island has long analyzed those products on the market. Among them, the most conscientious product, a product produced by a company in Victoria, has starch as its main ingredient and does not have the advertised effects at all.As for other products, several of them even contain harmful substances.

"I want to see your samples and the process." Neither Alpha nor Ashes like this kind of IQ tax product that harvests the poor, and neither does Seria, but there is no need to fall out now. It is best to learn more information. important.

"I roughly understand the situation. I will go directly to investigate John's mother and the factory production line related to this time." Ashes conveyed the news to Seria.

"Very good..." Ceria looked at the sample in her hand. Spectral analysis told her that it was a candy. It seemed that she was going to think of a way to impress these people.

128.Can’t think of a title…

John's mother's negotiators came to the Rhode Island office to sit for a few days. It seemed that they attached great importance to it and hoped that this cooperation would be implemented.As everyone knows, in the past few days, Ashes has used Rhode Island's offices in other cities as a base of operations to launch a infiltration investigation into John's mother's production factory.

Neither Ceria nor she believed in the letter of intent presented by John’s mother. The letter of intent required Rhode Island to provide very little cost, but marked a high dividend.Although there seemed to be no problem with the preparation of the entire document, and the dividend share was within a theoretically reasonable range, they still sensed an abnormal atmosphere.This is very likely to be another test, or another attack, on Rhodes Island by relevant parties in Colombia.

Rhode Island and the municipality of Siesta, now within Colombia, face many challenges, so everything must be done with caution.

Seria is busy dealing with people from all walks of life who come to her door every day, and during this period of time she is gradually rebuilding her relationship network. She is finally back, and some old acquaintances who need to meet are all I wanted to meet and pay a visit.

In the past few days while waiting for Ashes to give the investigation report, Seria went back to Rhine Life. Although she only stopped for a moment in the foyer of Rhine Life Building, it didn’t take long for her to receive a call from Director of Human Resources Keyara. And a call from Justin from the Business Department.

It's been a long time since those things happened in the past, and Ceria maintained the utmost respect for these colleagues who worked together.

There was also a phone call from the Melander Foundation. The voice on the other end of the phone was the "Tin Man" she met when she was investigating the Balrog incident. Ceria found that she had to thank Alpha again for providing If it weren't for the information she specially provided before leaving, Seria would not have known that this tin man was a senior agent of the Melander Foundation. At the same time, he was also an ancient existence of Sakaz, one of the "Dead Souls" individual.He learned that simply destroying his mechanical body would not kill him.Of course, this information is only kept in the heart as a trump card, and now is not the time to knock on the door.

What made Seria feel a little disappointed was that neither her old friends Kristen nor Muir Seth made any comments about her coming this time.Ceria guessed that Kristen was currently immersed in some research. As for Muir Seth, who knew what she was thinking at this time.

……

Later, Ashes came back from another city in a dusty state. She brought back an investigation report on whether John's mother and their partners had the qualifications to actually get involved in the production of medicines and health care products.

This report unsurprisingly points out that the plan proposed by John’s mother is completely pie in the sky.In the past six months, John’s mother and their partners have never applied for or purchased any relevant authorizations and patents, which means they do not have such qualifications.

"Ceria, what are you going to do? Are you going to send them away directly, or are you?"

"Ashes, I have an idea, please let me make a call."

Then Ceria picked up her highly efficient telephone in Colombia, dialed a number, chatted with the person on the other end of the phone for a few words, and then hung up the phone clearly.

"I talked with the person in charge of Tremont TV and booked a talk show during prime time to talk openly and honestly about health care products in front of the public." Seria hung up the phone and knocked on the phone with a smile. After knocking on the report that had just been handed over to him, "This report will become a useful weapon for us to severely hit the inferior health care product industry that is growing disorderly throughout Colombia."

Hui Jing smiled. Ceria's hand was cruel enough. She now carries the aura of the founder of Rhine Life. After many years, she still enjoys a certain reputation in the microbiology community in Colombia. In addition, her Rhode Island Medical Current position of Department Technical Advisor…

"But there is one more thing..." Ceria frowned. In this kind of competition, whether simply suppressing one party can really be effective? Maybe this interview can give John's mother a hard blow. However, one day, those large consortiums that occupy the top positions in the medical and health industry will realize this huge market with no capital and huge profits, and then join in.

"Tell Alpha about the health care market. Maybe we should take some action and try to drive out bad money with good money."

Ashes nodded knowingly. Siesta's production array will be able to provide huge biopharmaceutical production capacity in the next few years. The extremely huge research and development expenses originally required for these production capacities are all provided by Alpha's magical alien world. The knowledge is shared and hedged. In other words, even if they produce drugs that can truly have a health care effect, especially the prevention of mineral disease, the cost is lower than the cost of most companies producing fake medicines and health products. To put it more exaggeratedly, because of the establishment of Siesta's fleet of free ships and standard cargo ships, as well as the rollout of various subsidy policies, the drugs shipped from Siesta back to Colombia for sale, the terminal price may be able to beat the production capacity. Fake ones that didn’t go up.

What is this, this is unreasonable dumping, and they only need to find a few dominant partners, and they don’t even have to worry about the Colombian authorities’ trade protection policies.Moreover, this long-term sales cooperation can subtly change the social situation of infected people, and is guaranteed by Siesta's strategic armed forces.

"This needs to be done with great caution. Our approach of criticizing one faction and then supporting another will inevitably arouse the hatred of some people." Ceria rubbed her eyebrows. She was a little confused and didn't know whether this approach was true. suitable.

"Seraya, think about it, at least we can really come up with drugs that have protective and therapeutic effects. Standard receptor inhibitors can greatly extend the life cycle of patients with oriopathy. Hundreds of cases have been done. It has been verified by clinical practice. We have opened up the market and allowed more patients with oriopathy to have access to this drug, which in itself is a matter of saving more people."

Ashes shrugged and continued, "Of course, this kind of concern should indeed exist. This kind of thing should not be decided by our current status. When contacting Alpha, tell her these things together and let her and Kelsey and the others can make a decision."

"Well, what we need now is to do our current job well."

129.A light fir tree

"Director, have you heard?"

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Right now, there are rumors in various departments that Ms. Seraya has returned to China and even made a trip. I don't know if it is true."

"Well, maybe, no one is stopping her from wherever she wants to go, and there are rumors that she is working for some powerful person in Rhode Island."

"Director, are you unhappy?"

"No, no, her business is her own business, it has nothing to do with me."

"Director, you and Ms. Seria have been old friends for many years. Why don't you contact her."

"Okay, okay, I will. It's time to get off work. You should go back and rest early."

"Well, Director, I'm leaving then, and you should have a good rest."

After sending away the warm-hearted colleagues, in the huge ecological garden of Rhine Life, only the lonely figure of the light fir tree in the flower garden and the gentle sigh of a young girl were left.

"Seraya, you are such a diamond head, can't you come to me once? What are you waiting for?" He muttered in a resentful voice, accompanied by a sound of bubbles surging and breaking, in this clean ecological park The eccentric excitement of the ancient times then disappeared, and this unique world returned to silence.

Soon, the sound of a TV rang out in a suite directly connected to the ecological park, which was also the private office and residence of the director of the ecological department.

Mulseth rarely shows her true form to others. Her body is quite fragile in the environment where Originium particles exist. On most occasions, she controls her own water body to appear, and she hides under the protection of a specially designed purification system. In the ecological park, just like the elves in ancient legends, living a solitary life, stealing a corner of seclusion in the busy company of Rhine Life.

This kind of life seems quiet and leisurely, but compared to the people who can shuttle through the streets and alleys and walk under the bright lights, the ecological park is really lonely at night.What's more, Muir Seth is actually a girl who loves fun.

The book she had just bought two days ago was a new book by the Victorian science fiction writer Verna. Mulseth picked it up and put it down again. She had already read over a hundred pages, but she felt that it was all in vain.The new book of this well-known veteran science fiction writer seems to have lost the enthusiasm she once had when she wrote it. It is boring. So I turn on the TV and watch the news after a long time to kill the night. Have some lonely time.

"Murseth, how long has it been since you organized a party and spent a lively night singing and dancing with everyone." The figure looked at himself in pity, and finally sighed alone.

I'm afraid that this scene of silent loneliness and helplessness has been played out in this girl's hiding place day after day since the two people broke up and the person ran away.

Hey, this TV is produced by Siesta, because the entire structure does not use any source stone products, and it can receive all wireless TV signals normally, and it is also compatible with all specifications of energy sources in Colombia through the converter. She was attracted by the Internet and bought it to put in her room.

The automated factory array of the Siesta Volcano Development Project sounds much more science fiction than the new novel by a well-known author who has been famous for a long time. I don’t know if I will have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes.

Just like that, Mulseth turned on the TV and adjusted the channel. When he was alone, he might as well watch some current affairs news or something like that. After all, TV dramas had to be watched with someone to be interesting.

"Tremont TV, dear viewers, welcome to this week's 'High Table' guest interview show. The guests we invite this time have left their mark on the history of our city. They have long been , her name was equated with Renhe Rhine Life, a super technology company that almost reshaped the city of Tremont, but she mysteriously left and disappeared from everyone’s sight..."

"...No, it's impossible..." The girl with pointed ears, wearing a nightgown and lazily wearing big-headed fluffy slippers, suddenly broke away from lazily lying on the sofa, hugging the pillow in her hand, no I looked at the picture playing on the TV screen in disbelief.

"Ugh——!" After a moment, she almost whimpered and buried her head in the pillow in her arms. The Waifan woman who was chatting with the host in the studio of Tremont TV Station was not right. Is it Ceria?Mulseth knew that it was impossible for him to admit his mistake, "Serea! It's really you, why didn't you tell me you were back!"

She knew that her friend on the screen could not hear her voice at this moment, so she just vented her emotions briefly, then she recovered her mood and continued to listen to the content on TV.

"Research on the health care product market, pills made of starch with no function... Ceria, why do you pay attention to that kind of thing? No, no, there is definitely something fishy in this." While talking to himself, Miao Irseth jumped off the sofa, hurriedly found her mobile phone, found the number, and made one call after another.

"sorry to bother you……"

"Yeah, okay, thank you..."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your reply..."

I don’t know how many phone calls I got, but all I got were perfunctory answers without any news. Muerseth suddenly realized that in the giant Rhine life, whether the foundation that he thought was spreading was just like what he got this time. The answer is general, just a castle in the air with a shiny surface.

She made several calls and asked everyone she thought was suitable to mention this matter, until she dialed the last number. The guy who was a bit too fashionable and enthusiastic, and made her always feel a little uncomfortable, finally gave her a call. gave her an effective reply.

"Director Muirseth, it has been rumored in the market recently that John's Mother is trying to enter the health care products industry. Some people have noticed that John's Mother's company sent a representative to contact Rhode Island. It seems that they want to use Luo's mother. Tokushima’s recent research on the treatment of ore disease, which has been in the limelight, endorses itself.”

"I understand, thanks."

"You're welcome, Miss Mulseth, it's just..."

"what happened?"

"Are you free this weekend? I'd like to invite you to dinner."

"You... forget it, give me an address."

After hanging up the phone, Mulseth threw herself helplessly back to her baby sofa. She was not a humanoid D32 steel like Ceria. It was impossible for her not to notice that little Justin admired her. She had been very young for a long time. He clearly rejected this young man and told him that the two of them were not suitable.

But...hey, after all, I owed a favor this time, so I might as well make it clear once more to him.

Little Justin is young, capable, handsome, and sociable. If you just look at his face, Muir Seth doesn’t dislike this type of man, but...

Mulseth stood up from the sofa and looked at the lush nursery with swaying green shadows outside the door, and the pale fir tree swaying in the clear pool.

She was like that light fir tree, separated from the people and things in the world by a layer of barriers called water bodies, just like those thick isolation facilities.It seems that the water that flows through the light cedar every day comes from this world, but has been filtered through layers of facilities and is no longer like this world.She doesn't even know how to love the world, and of course she doesn't know if she has the ability to like or fall in love with someone.

"Mulseth, you are so sad..."

130.Old friends…

"Rhodes Island cannot bear the public opinion and political risks now. Please come back." Ceria sent away several angry-looking representatives. Of course, those representatives only dared to look angry in their eyes. They looked at the calcium dust floating around. After these days of exchanges, they had certainly confirmed Seria's identity. They knew very well that with the abilities of several of their civilian staff, it was impossible to cause trouble in front of this powerful person.

Not to mention, just when Ceria kicked them out, two commissioners from Tremont's most famous, most powerful, and most successful law firm just walked into Rhodes carrying their briefcases. The island's office, and then shook hands with Seria warmly and friendly.Entering the health care product market is only a possible development direction. John's mother does not have the ability to start a war with a company that can afford such a lawyer because of such a trivial matter.

Things here have finally come to an end. Ceria and Ashes can finally sit back and drink tea safely behind their desks. They also know that this leisurely situation is definitely only temporary, but now , what they have to do is indeed to take a good rest.

"I have authorized a special investment and invested a special amount of funds to allow Rhode Island to register and supervise a branch in Tremont, completely upgrade the office, and thereby enter the Colombian market from the outside. Ceria, You don’t need to be responsible for the specific matters of easing the relationship, but please ask, you can continue to sit there and continue your previous work.”

Looking at Alpha with a yellow face on the communication screen, Ceria nodded. Things like clearing up relationships were really not what she was good at. Ashes had more experience in this kind of work than she did.

"There's nothing wrong. I'm going to hang up here. There's a problem with the No. 160 No. [-] drilling rig. I have to solve it myself."

"Well, you are busy."

After hanging up the phone, Ceria leaned back in the office chair and sighed. She knew that big news from Alpha was coming soon, but the 160-seven wells were still some way from being completed.As for other matters, Rhode Island's new drugs and treatment plans are currently going through the review process with the relevant regulatory agencies in Colombia, and they are encountering quite a lot of troubles. Alpha is preparing to inject capital to establish a subsidiary for this purpose.

"Serea, don't sigh there. AI will handle these tasks for us. I will take charge of the joint dredging before the new commissioner assigned by Alpha comes. You can take a break and think about what to use. This way, you can contact your old friends."

"Well, I know, please."

Ceria took out the plant ball from the arms of the windbreaker. The green leaves in the glass ball were as lush as when she left them, but there was no change at all.Tifa said that this was not a traditional specimen. Alpha actually used a stasis field to encapsulate the plant.As long as the glass ball is not broken, the seedling inside can be stored for several years.

"Forget it, I'll go directly to Mulseth, Ashes, and I'd like to trouble you to prepare a response."

"no problem."

Seria doesn't have much internal information about Rhine right now. The only information she got was from Director Yala. She can only confirm that Muir Seth is still working in the Ecology Department, and there is something about Kristen. The information is like a stone sinking into the sea, it is really impossible to find it at all.

However, she knew that it was impossible for Director Yala to reveal those confidential contents to herself, who was now an outsider. For this kind of matter, she needed to find an insider, and the bargaining chip in her hand now would definitely be able to persuade the serving director. Just Mulseth.

It cannot be said that Muir Seth is the only one. After all, she still has a consciousness connection device on her body. This thing can be used as a bargaining chip and a stepping stone. It will not be difficult to win over Dorothy, the director of the Originium Technology Application Department. However, her current research is not as good as before. Ashes conducted an investigation while investigating John's mother. The only information that could be found was that military personnel had been paying attention to Base 359 for a long time.

If Alpha's information about the other world is correct, then the research she is currently conducting should have started since the Loken water tank was confiscated. During this period, being spotted by the military and choosing to intervene was almost an unwelcome decision. The result requires guesswork.Ceria doesn't want to get into trouble with the military now. Many times, the Colombian military only listens to the government on the surface, but does a lot of small things in private. When the time comes, they will face an entire army alone, and they will Rhodes Island and the Rhineland were dragged into the water and could not be saved.

The most important thing is that before leaving, Alpha told herself that she had other arrangements regarding Experimental Base No. 359. This work needed to be paved separately, so she did not need to act rashly about things there now.
