Chapter 521, 1 veto power

Chapter 521, one-vote veto power
I'm afraid it won't be possible to 'steal' Jin Di Xing overnight.

But the value brought by Wu Jiarong's becoming a sage in the Mingyang Sect does not need to be reflected in such a long time. It can play a role now.

Gu Hang personally came to Jindi Planet to negotiate with the top leaders of the Mingyang Sect. His main goals were actually two:

First, to regain the three star regions and forty worlds that should not be controlled by Jindi Star legally.

The second is to allow Jindi Star to accept equipment manufacturing orders from the alliance, especially starship orders.

Both conditions are quite difficult.

Even if Gu Hang, a big boss who has been in the limelight recently, was present in person, and there was Wu Jiarong as an internal agent, the sages of Jindi Star still did not give him face.

After all, Wu Jiarong is an outsider and has just been promoted. The most important thing is that everyone knows that she is from the alliance and has received a lot of help from Gu Hang. Naturally, there will be doubts about her position.

The first round of negotiations ended without any success, but Gu Hang was not upset.

Although the Mingyang Sect did not agree to his conditions, after his visit, the attitude shown by these oil guys was quite good and they respected Gu Hang.

For a while, he stayed in Jindi Star, visited several different key factories, and met many sages in the main industry.

……

Chen Haixu, Jin Dixing's casting general, has been in his studio for several days.

Externally, he has a very important product that he needs to build in isolation. For this reason, he politely attended the first meeting of the alliance delegation brought by Governor Gu, and then personally hosted a reception banquet for Gu Hang, then stayed behind closed doors.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could probably tell that he was hiding from Gu Hang.

Of course, even if he stays behind closed doors, the foundry general is clearly aware of what is happening in the outside world.

"Who did Gu Hang meet today?"

Chen Haixu asked while controlling more than a dozen robotic arms.

There was no one next to him, but there was a servo skull floating in midair in his laboratory, connected by a mechanical spine, with a speaker in its mouth.

"Report to the general, Gu Hang met the sage Ke Zonggang today. This is the seventh sage Gu Hang has met in recent times. At present, only you and the sage Jing Yiming are left. He has not yet See."

The Mingyang Sect now has a total of nine main business sages, which has not even filled the original eleven.

Chen Haixu nodded slightly. His already somewhat inhuman face forced a smile and continued: "Let him get in touch slowly. Is there anything else you want to report?"

"Sage Wu Jiarong requested to hold a second Sages' Conference, and the topic discussed at the last conference will still be the same."

"Hmph, the traitor will never die." Chen Haixu sneered, and then sighed: "Wu Jiarong, I still think highly of this young junior, and I have given her a lot of support. But why is she so stubborn and insisting on causing trouble with the alliance? Together?"

The servo skull floating beside him continued to speak: "So, General Casting, do we need to do anything? For example, prevent the second meeting, such as warning Sage Wu Jiarong, such as..."

"No need." Chen Haixu stopped his servo-skull assistant from continuing, "Let them do it. Will there be any results?"

Under the master's words, the servo skull closed his mouth, leaving only the red light in his eyes flashing continuously.

As the casting general of Jin Di Xing, Chen Haixu certainly has the confidence to say this.

Although Gu Hang proposed some exchange conditions, for example, the alliance wanted to take back all the remaining planets except Jindi. For this reason, the Alliance guarantees that the raw materials produced by these worlds will be given priority to Jindi Star.

All conditions are the same as before the Iron Teeth Green Tide.

But now they can no longer accept that condition.

Before they received raw materials, they had to 'pay'. Although, for this payment, you usually get some low-end products, or accept a few orders, and you can pay for these raw materials.

The same goes for human resources.

To put it bluntly, those mineral resources and human resources are not 'valuable'. In contrast, the various products produced by Jindixing are more valued.

But now, Jin Dixing is no longer as wealthy as she used to be. After internal discussions, the sages of the Mingyang Sect did not want to pay even the cost of raw materials and manpower introduction, which were not worth mentioning compared to their added output value.

The Mingyang Sect, which is licking its wounds and replenishing its blood, is determined not to be a generous person anymore.

The same goes for external sales orders.

It’s just some other things. If the alliance provides some additional resources in exchange, it’s not that they can’t accept orders; but they will definitely not accept orders for starships. All productivity is given priority to satisfy the sect fleet.

They expected to build a new Mechanical Ark. They would also need to build eight battlecruisers and more than forty cruisers to match them to build a powerful Mingyang Sect fleet.

After experiencing the Iron Teeth Green Tide, everyone in the Mingyang Sect agreed that the sect must have enough power to protect itself and cannot expect others. I managed to escape this time, but who knows if I can escape the next disaster?
For the construction of the fleet and the supporting Skitarii, the production capacity of the Mingyang Sect was fully occupied. With all the shipyards operating at full capacity, it will take about twenty-five years to complete the construction of the fleet.

Time and production capacity are all full, and there is also a huge external demand for resources and manpower.

To put it bluntly, we, the Mingyang Sect, have not continued to occupy more territory and gain more benefits, which is already quite good. You, Gu Hang, still want to vomit out the places we have occupied, and we have already filled up the schedule. order?

Dream it.

They were not interested at all in the conditions proposed by Gu Hang on behalf of the alliance, which would provide Jindi Star with a wider range of resource support and full military support.

In other words, the former, that is, resource support, is of interest; the premise is that the alliance can accept it. These supports and investments will not be available until at least twenty-five years later, after Jindi Star has completed its own construction and ensured its own safety. Then pay the alliance's remuneration.

That's obviously impossible.

As for the military security provided by the alliance?
Do not believe!

The Star Territory Government and the Space Territory Government used to say this.

In a war of iron teeth, don’t we have to go up and fight ourselves?

After this time, they deeply realized that no matter how many interests and guarantees they had, when life and death were at stake, the only one they could rely on most was themselves.

Alliance military support?
The alliance does seem to be quite capable of fighting, much more capable than the previous star domain governments.

But... I'm sorry, if it's not me, then I can't believe it. Moreover, doesn’t your alliance face more enemies?
Your Governor Gu is not a peaceful person. He will do this today and do that tomorrow. Right now, he was involved in the confrontation with the Iron Fury Stone.

The Mingyang Sect considers itself a small sect, just a forging world. It is not in a good state now and has no intention of getting involved.

This opinion was discussed and decided by all the sages of the main profession in the sect, as well as a considerable number of the relatively core ruling bishops.

Oh, except Wu Jiarong, a young boy.

But her opinion on this matter is not important. She just needs to contribute the fantastic skills she has mastered. The major events that will determine the future direction of the Mingyang Sect are not the turn of this young man. , Baiyanlang intervened.

With the entire sect's top leadership making such a unanimous decision, Chen Haixu really wasn't worried about Gu Hang's activities on Jindi Planet.

After all, he is the head of the Star Territory, and Jin Di Star is within the alliance. The attitudes of the two parties should not be tense. The respect and attitude that should be given must be given.

But for everything else, just pull it down.

After the governor of the alliance has been frustrated in front of one professional sage after another, he should know that he should not continue to waste time.

As for the second meeting to be held next?
Then open it.

Anyway, it was just another collective veto.

……

Chen Haixu's mechanical face was full of shock.

His modified ears were even leaking white air.

A total of nine main industry sages form the Sage Council, which is the nominal highest authority of the Mingyang Sect.

But now, eight mechanical arms were raised in front of him.

Opposite the round table of sages, the person sitting was Gu Hang, who had been active on Jindi Star for more than half a month.

Half an hour ago, the second Council of Sages was convened, and Gu Hang began to introduce the alliance's policies just like the last time.

Compared with the first proposal, this time Gu Hang made greater concessions. Although the requirements are still the same, control of the three star regions except Jindi Star, as well as various construction orders for Jindi Star.

However, the alliance will increase the purchase price of the order and provide more raw material resources; and the alliance can also accept production orders from the Mingyang Sect in turn. That means that the Mingyang Sect has some low-level, low-value component production that can be transferred to planets controlled by other alliances.

According to Air China, this is a 'win-win'.

Places that accept technology transfer and production capacity transfer have achieved economic growth; the ownership of these transferred production capacities will be calculated based on the proportion of investment by both parties and the technical value; the corresponding management rights can be handed over to the Mingyang Sect...

Correspondingly, the Mingyang Sect can expand its influence and control outward through technology and production capacity transfer, and through economic and political means to further ensure control of raw materials and low value-added industrial components.

Moreover, the production capacity released from some low-end industries on Jindi Star can be better invested in high-end industries.

However, these conditions still do not exceed the situation that the main business sages of the Mingyang Sect discussed with each other earlier.

Logically speaking, after "politely" listening to Gu Hang's proposal, when it comes to the voting stage, everyone should sit quietly when they hear the vote of "agree to the proposal"; wait until the vote of "oppose the proposal" At this time, they raised their hands in unison.

However, what happened next was completely beyond Chen Haixu's expectation.

During the vote of approval, he first saw Wu Jiarong raise her hand.

Well, fine, as expected.

Then, another sage raised his hand.

This made Chen Haixu look a little sideways.

This kid Gu Hang, have these half-month activities really produced results for him?
You kid, you got the benefit of eating Gu Hang, right?
Chen Haixu was not very happy.

Although just one extra vote is meaningless, in fact according to Chen Haixu's previous hints to other sages, not a single vote should be given to Gu Hang to avoid any unrealistic thoughts in the alliance governor's heart. fantasy.

If you hit your head and bleed early, get out of here and it will be over.

At this time, he could only comfort himself. Maybe the sage Ke Zonggang who raised his hand was just raising his hand to save some face for Governor Gu after receiving the benefits?

With this mentality, Chen Haixu immediately saw the third, fourth, and fifth robotic arms raised.

Just a few minutes later, among the nine main business sages of the Mingyang Sect, he was the only one who did not raise his hand...

No, what the hell is going on!
Even though the body has undergone extensive mechanical modifications and many of the emotions produced by the body's secretion of hormones have been annihilated, Chen Haixu still felt a burst of anger in his heart.

What do you want to do?
A collective rebellion, right?

But he quickly calmed down, and his still human brain, which had not yet been completely transformed, began to think carefully.

Things are not yet irreversible.

Although eight of the nine votes had already voted in favor, this did not mean that Gu Hang’s proposal was passed.

He is the Casting General. Although he only has one vote in the parliament like other main industry sages, the most special thing about the Casting General is that he has the power of veto.

If he wants to promote any big policies, strategies, or decisions, he needs to obtain the consent of the four main industry sages; but if he objects to a decision, he only needs his own vote.

The current situation is very suitable for using this veto power.

However, do you really want to do this?
Voting seems to be a rule, but any rule must consider the meaning behind the rule.

It is not because he has veto power that he has the ability to veto any proposal that he does not want to agree to.

On the contrary, it is because he has the ability to prevent any decision that he disagrees with from being implemented, so he has this veto power.

However, the current situation is too complicated.
