Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

"It is indeed time to act immediately." Odi thought for a moment, "Emperor, can you tell me how you knew this?"

Tingyun also looked over with curiosity.

She also wanted to know this. She had been here the whole time, and Ash was even busy dealing with Xianzhou, but he knew more than her.

No, that's not right. It's impossible for outsiders to know about this kind of thing. Even Odi, the patriarch of the Alfalfa family, was kept in the dark.

Ash smiled and said, "You may not know this, Chief Odi, but I have a pretty good relationship with the Star Train."

"Oh?" Odi looked surprised.

The development of the Starry Sky Train was also thanks to their plan to expose the gold sand. Although I don’t know what those people are doing, I think the suppression of the power of order has a lot to do with the nameless guests.

"Emperor, if the Oak Family truly betrays Tongxie, my Clover Family will naturally be the first to step forward and take charge of the situation. We will definitely run into trouble then, you..."

"Don't worry, Shurima is here for this purpose. However, the Oak Family is a big deal. I'm worried about the instability of Pinocchio's situation. Shurima is an outsider after all. If we interfere too much, people will inevitably gossip about us, which will not be good for Shurima's reputation."

"... "

Odi shook his head secretly, wondering if Shurima still cared about its reputation. Everyone in the galaxy knew Shurima was a troublemaker.

First I fought with the company, and then I fought with Xianzhou.

It has an unclear relationship with abundance or destruction.

As for reputation, Shurima has none at all. It does have a lot of fame, but it's all bad reputation.

Odi knew that Ash was making conditions. This was the reason why he came here in the first place, so he was not surprised.

"This is indeed a problem," Odi sighed. "If the Oak Family is destroyed and the Dream Master is gone, the family's strength will be greatly reduced. With so many internal and external troubles, it will be difficult for the Clover Family alone to maintain the situation. I think it would be better if the Shurima Empire invested in Pinoconi."

Odi took the initiative to extend the invitation.

"This... isn't a good idea?" Ash was a little embarrassed. "What if people say I'm taking advantage of someone's misfortune?"

"I don't think so," Tingyun said with a smile. "Shurima and the Clover Family have always been allies, and with Patriarch Aodi personally inviting Shurima to invest in Pinocchio, it's imperative that Shurima acquires a stake in Pinocchio. In my opinion, Shurima could acquire 40% of Pinocchio's shares, making it a major shareholder. This would demonstrate Patriarch Aodi's sincerity and make it clear to outsiders that the Emperor isn't taking advantage of the situation, but is sincerely committed to running Pinocchio alongside the family."

Audi: "?"

You are definitely not taking advantage of the situation to rob, you are directly eating people!

Ash was also stunned for a moment. He originally thought that 20% would be enough. After all, this was the amount that the five major families would share equally. However, the Oak Family would definitely have more. If the extra money was given to the Alfalfa Family, it would be a win-win situation.

He believed that Odi would not refuse this proposal.

But after Tingyun spoke, Yaxiu stopped talking. Professional matters are best left to professionals.

"Emperor, this..." Odi's face was not looking good. If it weren't for the Ash Order's combat power here, he would probably have lost his temper. "Isn't 40% a bit too much?"

"A lot? I don't think it's too little at all." Tingyun shook his head. "As far as I know, the Oak Family already holds 40% of Pinocchio's shares."

"Ms. Tingyun, do you want to give all the shares of the Oak family to Shurima? So does Pinoconi belong to the family or to Shurima?" Odi said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Of course it's the family's. Has Patriarch Aodi forgotten the other three major families? With the destruction of Oak, the family will inevitably usher in changes. With the Empire's help in the future, we will be enough for security and armed forces. The Hound Family is no longer needed. Whether it is disbanded or merged, it depends on your opinion, Patriarch."

"As for the other two major families, their influence can be appropriately reduced. This way, we can firmly control power and no longer have to worry about incidents like this happening again."

Odi frowned slightly.

He was somewhat tempted by the proposal.

In fact, the power of the Hound Family is still too weak. Pinocchio has never had decent weapons. Otherwise, how could the company dare to be so arrogant?

However, it is impossible to establish an armed force that can confront the company at the same level. Money is one aspect, but more importantly, no one is willing to go against the company.

Shurima happens to meet both of these conditions.

First of all, they have the strength.

Secondly, there is this willingness.

Considering this, 40% is not too much.

"I have a distribution plan. Would you like to hear it, Chief Aodi?"

"You said."

"Shurima accounts for 40%, the Clover family accounts for 40%, the other three families account for 15%, and the Star Train accounts for 5%."

"Star Train? They..."

"The reputation of the Nameless Guest can save Pinocchio a lot of trouble. Plus, they've been running around for Pinocchio this time, so it's not too intrusive."

Odi fell into deep thought.

This allocation can be said to be almost stuck at his bottom line.

Originally, his best plan was for the Alfalfa family to take 50%, Shurima 20%, and the interests of the other three families would remain unchanged.

Even if the concession is reduced to 40%, it is not unacceptable to Odi, as it is much more than his original offer anyway.

However, all the shares given up were given to Shurima. Now both sides have the same shares. In the future, if there are any major issues that affect Pinocchio, Shurima's attitude will be extremely important.

Now that the Oak family is gone, Pinocchio must be dominated by the Alfalfa family in the future. He doesn't want to welcome another dream master like Shurima.

"Oh, right," Tingyun added, "From now on, all matters concerning the management of Pinoconi will be decided by Chief Aodi. The Emperor is too busy and probably doesn't have time to manage it. What do you think, Chief Aodi?"

"Don't interfere with management?" Odi looked at Ash.

"Of course." Ash spread his hands. "I'm already busy enough with the Empire's affairs. I don't want to cause myself more trouble."

"Um…"

At this time, a core member of the Alfalfa family knocked on the door of the conference room.

"Chief, someone from the company is coming!"

"Hmm?" Odi frowned, "Who's coming?"

"The Jade of the Ten Stonehearts."

"It's her." Odi sighed. "The company is really fast."

"There are faster ones." Ash ended his call with Kaien and said, "The company's armed forces arrived at the hotel lobby and said their director had an accident at Pinocchio. They wanted to go in to look for him, but they were stopped by my people."

"Besides, my fleet monitoring reports that a fleet of no less than twenty units is heading this way."

Odi was startled: "Another person from the company?"

"I'm afraid so. Chief Odi, there's no time for hesitation. Pinocchio's situation must be stabilized as soon as possible, otherwise you'll have to negotiate cooperation with the company next."

"...Alright. If the Oak Family truly betrays the Infinite Lord, then Pinocchio will be jointly managed by the Clover Family and the Empire!"

Yaxiu raised his glass and smiled, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

……

The result of the conversation with Odi was much better than Ashu had expected.

The 40% shareholding rights are too important for the current Shurima Empire.

"Are you so sure that Odi will agree?" Yaxiu asked Tingyun later.

He was actually a little worried that Odi would get angry out of shame.

If it were him, he would definitely not agree if someone asked for such a huge amount of money.

"Emperor, you've just arrived and don't know Aodi very well. He's concerned about the management rights of Pinocchio... and in my opinion, he's the one who makes the most money in this deal."

"Oh? How to say it."

"Does the Emperor only intend for the Empire's territory to remain in Griffith forever?"

Ash suddenly realized.

indeed.

In the long run, the empire has unlimited potential, and this is equivalent to an investment.

When Shurima truly develops into a major force spanning the galaxy, even if the Alfalfa family gets some scraps, the market will be much larger than it is now.

Because these markets need to be pried out from the mouths of companies, and it would be impossible for them to do it alone without relying on Shurima.

Therefore, the fundamental reason why Odi agreed to this deal was that he saw the prospects of Shurima and made an investment in advance.

To put it another way, if Shurima really fails to develop and is destroyed by the company or the fairy ship, they will not lose anything.

By then, the family will be able to dispose of the 40% shares on their own, and it will not be too late to consider cooperation with the company then.

After hearing Tingyun's analysis, Yaxiu shook his head. He was relatively good at war strategies, but when it came to business, he was not as far-sighted as businessmen like Odi.

Tingyun was able to argue with Aodi for such a long time and even got the upper hand. This shows that she has great talent as a businessman.

Furthermore, Tingyun offered Star Train shares because he saw the latter's relationship with Ash, which at least had a say. When it came time to vote on Pinocchio's development plans, that 5% support was crucial.

As he spoke, Ash returned to the battleship and asked Tingyun to go to the hotel lobby to meet Kane and others to deal with matters between the companies.

He did not go to meet with Feicui from the company's strategic investment department, and left the other party to Aodi to deal with.

About half an hour later, Kane reported back that the company's people tried to break into the hotel, but now they have been suppressed by the 14th Legion.

The conflict between the two sides was known to the entire galaxy, so the other people staying in the hotel had no intention of intervening. Besides, who would have nothing better to do than to mess with Shurima?

However, the sudden appearance of Shurima still made people puzzled. Then the people of the Clover Family appeared and explained the previous Taiyi Dream, characterizing it as a "provocation of external forces against harmony". Then, they cooperated with the people of the Fourteenth Regiment to take over the security of the entire hotel.

Because of Odi's order, although the people of the Hound Family were confused, they finally chose to cooperate with the action - more importantly, from the time they woke up until now, news that something might have happened to the Oak Family has begun to circulate within the family, and the Dream Master and Sunday could no longer be contacted.

The perceptive people vaguely sensed that something big might have happened. After all, the impact of Taiyi's dream was too great. All the people in Pinoconi were dragged into it, and the company and Shurima were also involved. In addition, there was the Starry Sky Train that was originally here, and there was also news that the Void Order had cut through the dream with one sword.

I have to say that Pinocchio is indeed a piece of fat in the galaxy, and there are too many people eyeing it.

Some wanted to get involved in the business, some simply wanted to cause trouble. Ash only brought more than 400 people with him, and even if the imperial guards were included, it would not be enough. Fortunately, the people of the Hound Family were relatively obedient, and one ascended warrior with a few Hound Family members was enough.

Less than ten minutes after the Fourteenth Regiment took over the management of the hotel, Tingyun told him that people from the Star Train had appeared.

Huang Quan was with them, and everyone seemed to be getting along well.

As for Sunday, he was temporarily detained by the Fourteenth Regiment, and the family would decide how to deal with him later.

[Xing: Why are you here? I heard from Huang Quan that you helped break Taiyi's dream from outside.]

The Star Core Spirit sent a message.

[Yash: Well, there's been no news from Tingyun, so I came over to see him and discuss some business with the family.]

【Xing: How big is it? 】

Ash: From today on, Shurima will be the majority shareholder of Pinocchio. By the way, I've also secured shares for your Star Train. Have Ms. Himeko talk to Odi later.

【Xing: Wow! 】

[March 7: Wow! We are now shareholders of Pinocchio! ?]

Looking at the message that suddenly popped up, Yaxiu knew that March 7 was probably staring at Xing's mobile phone interface.

[Jizi: Your Majesty Ash, is what you just said true? ]

[Yash: Yes, you own 5% of Pinocchio's shares. This can be considered as a reward for helping Pinocchio overcome this crisis.]

【Jizi: What about the company? 】

As expected of Ms. Ji Zi, she hit the point right away.

Ash: Of course, they can't get anything out of Pinocchio. Ms. Himeko, I suggest you take the others back to the Star Train and wait for a while. I'll notify everyone later at the celebration banquet after everything is resolved.

After Ash typed these words, some time passed.

[Himeko: ...Okay. But I hope His Majesty Ash won't allow this place to suffer excessive damage. Pinocchio has just experienced a disaster and needs stability, not chaos.]

【Ash: We think the same thing, so some things need to be resolved as soon as possible, right?】

Jizi knew her decision wouldn't affect anything. If the train crew's involvement in the Advent of Order was a result of their repeated involvement, then she absolutely didn't want to get involved in the current feud between Shurima and the company.

After finishing his chat with Ji Zi, Ash soon received a communication request from the company, from Hisui.

Immediately afterwards, Odi sent a message, briefly describing his conversation with the other party, which was naturally not very pleasant.

Sha Jin used his own abilities to pry open the door of the company. According to the company's plan, it is time to reap the rewards.

Then Shurima suddenly intervened.

With Shurima backing them up, the family immediately gained enough confidence. Not to mention Jade, even if Diamond came in person, Emperor O would not dare to slam the table in opposition.

"Emperor, the Jadeite from the company wants to meet you." said the Little Black Tower.

Ash took out his phone and played duo with Silver Wolf, saying calmly, "No, I don't even know who she is."

Silver Wolf agreed: "That's right, no matter how high my level is, I'm not worthy of meeting you."
