Chapter 280 2 Meetings

The time train of the year 1494 in the Haiyuan calendar arrived at its terminal station. Along with the dazzling fireworks feast from all over the world, the sea rang the bell of the year 1495 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Qinghai is splendid and grand, with a vast sea area. Even Lex, who possesses the fruit of space, has never traveled to every corner of the sea. It is precisely because of this vast, bizarre and wonderful world that it attracts countless aspiring people to steer their sailboats and set sail.

Around the world right now—

The top of the red earth continent, Marijoa, between power.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the cross-sea trade chain we have promoted in the four seas has achieved mediocre results. Should we abolish it?"

Although Saturn is the government's [God of Science and Defense], he is also responsible for the government's trade chain that imitates Lex and promotes in the four seas. In other words, he is jointly responsible for this matter with Venus Nasujuro Sei.

Saturn spoke first, which served as a starting point. As expected, after Saturn finished asking, without waiting for the other top officials to answer, the God of Finance Venus took up the topic:

"It is indeed as Saint Satan said. Although we have a navy to ensure the safety of the trade chain and a number of government member states to support it, the profits from promoting the trade chain in the four seas every year are not satisfactory. There are even frequent conflicts, such as power struggles within each trade chain, occasional pirate raids, individual kingdoms enriching themselves, inconsistent prices and tax rates, etc...."

Before Venus finished speaking, Old Mars retorted hastily:

"What's wrong with low profits? Can't we just develop slowly? Are we going to hand over the vast commercial potential of the world to Lex?!~"

Although he was the one who brought up the name Lex, Mars himself became furious when he thought of Lex.

However, Mars' luck was not very good. Just as he refuted Venus's words, a voice suddenly sounded from within the power room. It was gentle and powerful, but it made Mars very embarrassed.

A blue light flashed, and Lex slowly stepped out of the void, walked towards the Five Elders in front of the huge French window, and smiled:

"Haha, Mas's words are too strong. I have a shallow background, how can I be responsible for such a huge Four Seas Trade Chain? Besides, although I am not talented, I am also the executive prime minister of the current government. Therefore, the government's promotion of the Four Seas Trade Chain naturally has my share of responsibility. How can you say that it is transferred to me? I am a part of the government."

Lex was sincere and earnest in his words, and he looked like he was committed to the government.

But Old Mars didn't buy it. He continued to scold:

"Humph!~ Pretending, pretending!"

Lex smiled and did not refute because he knew that someone would refute it for him.

The next moment, Venus frowned and looked at Mars, saying in an unhappy tone:

"Massheng, you and Lex are both the highest powers in the world. Regardless of what Lex thinks, every word he says is humble and polite, and you are like a bandit or a shrew. Isn't this just a disgrace to the government?"

Mars, who was already unhappy because of Lex's sudden appearance, became even more upset when he heard Venus's sarcastic and critical words. He was furious and said without thinking:

"Hmph!~ Good! He is generous! I am stingy! He is noble! I am shameless!! Okay!!~"

Seeing Mars getting so angry because of someone else's random words, Mercury, as the leader of the Five Elders, knew that he couldn't just sit there and watch. He stepped forward to smooth things over:

"Well, today we are only talking about official business, not personal matters. There is no need to blame anyone. You all work hard for the government, so why bother to force us?"

Compared to the flammable and explosive old Mars, Mercury is indeed more structured. With just one sentence, he defused the current tense atmosphere and brought the topic back on track.

Seeing this, Jupiter slowly shook his head, then took over Mercury's words and said:

"Since Lex is here, let's continue to discuss the government's trade chain plan in the four seas. Since Prime Minister Lex is doing a thriving business in the New World, he must be experienced. It's a good opportunity for him to give us some pointers and talk about some of the ways of the New World trade chain. I think Prime Minister Lex, who has devoted himself to the government, shouldn't mind, right?"

Lex cursed in his heart, but his face was as gentle as jade:

"Yeah, that's no problem. It's my duty to serve the government."

When Mercury saw this scene, he nodded secretly with satisfaction. It turned out that Jupiter was the one who could talk.

Mars kept his mouth shut, afraid that if he opened his mouth he would be pissed off by Lex's words again.

Saturn looked at everyone and sighed in his heart, they were all old foxes, including Lex, a little fox.

Although Venus secretly supports Lex, she is very clear about the real big issues and still stands on the side of the government. So at this moment, she is looking at Lex eagerly, wanting to hear how Lex, the founder of the trade chain plan, runs his business.

And what about Lex?

He smiled faintly, cursing all of Jupiter's ancestors in his heart. He actually suffered a loss at the hands of this old guy today. If Lex didn't want to start the final battle now, he would have killed this old fox right now.

However, he still sorted out his thoughts and stated slowly:

"Although the trade chain in the New World seems to be prosperous, it actually has very little profit. I have been neglecting it for many years, so... um, I only have some superficial opinions..."

Lex was halfway through his words when he saw the Five Elders looking at him with disbelief in their eyes, so he could only swallow the loss in secret and reveal some real information about running a trade chain to the Five Elders.

.........

.........

Discussions about the trade chain were not only taking place among the powers that be, but the New World, the place of origin, was even more heatedly discussed.

The heads of various trade chains all gathered together at the end of 1494 in Pentles, where the World Expo was held.

As the executive chiefs of the New World Trade Chain, Roy and Gut are responsible for the annual performance summary conference.

Roy waved his hand and spoke first:

"Everyone present here has made contributions. The profits of each business chain this year are quite considerable and have stabilized at over 100 billion yuan. I am deeply pleased."

As soon as this was said, all the responsible persons in the audience gave way:

"No, no, it's all thanks to the good leadership of Lord Lex and Captain Roy and Captain Gutt."

"That's right. We are just relying on the kindness of you gentlemen."

"It's all thanks to the young master~"

"Pei!~"

Roy waved his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down. In the magnificent meeting hall, Roy waved his hand, and the power of the Parahuman Illusion Fruit was activated.

A huge new world map appeared out of thin air. This was constructed by Roy using the Illusion Fruit. For Roy, who was known as the "Dream Maker", it was just a matter of waving his hand.

Roy pointed to the huge sea chart in the center of the hall and analyzed:

"This lists all the islands in the New World that are densely populated with resources and have developed commerce, as well as the trade chains built on them. So, in the next year, our key development goal will be..."

Roy and Gut began to plan one after another. From time to time, there were bursts of discussion in the hall, all of which demonstrated the infinite vitality of the new world.

And in such meetings and discussions, the 1494th year of the Haiyuan calendar came to an end bit by bit, and what followed was the 1495th year of the Haiyuan calendar.
