This is a large commercial planet located in the Dawn Star Cluster. Anti-gravity flying vehicles are shuttled back and forth in the sky, like steel rivers hanging diagonally in the sky.

There are many high-rise buildings in the center of the core city of the planet. One of the buildings is very conspicuous. It towers into the clouds and stands out from the crowd. The overall structure is like an upright gene chain, resembling a twisted "8". The outer wall of the building is pure white, and the corners are spaced at regular intervals.

A faint blue light flashed, with a certain sense of technology and art.

At the top of the building, there are eight anti-gravity suspended aprons in a circle, like floating islands, guarding the "∞" shaped building sign in the middle, which is the emblem of the Infinite Consortium. The entire building was funded and built by the Infinite Consortium.

Without special circumstances, commercial organizations will not build armed bases everywhere like warlords.

A small aircraft within the atmosphere slowly landed on the apron on the top floor of the Infinite Consortium branch. Han Xiao walked out of the cabin and stepped onto the platform.

"Welcome, Lord Black Star."

The reception staff who had been waiting for a long time not far away immediately came to greet them. Black Star had already informed about the visit to the Infinite Consortium, and the consortium had arranged reception staff early.

Han Xiao hummed, expressionless, and said: "Where is Sorokin?"

"Your Excellency Sorokin is already waiting in the reception room, please come with me."

The receptionist responded respectfully and led the way.

Han Xiao followed him into the Infinite Consortium branch, took the private elevator, and stopped on a floor.

The elevator door opened, and a spacious space came into view. There were sofas and tables in the center of the room, and unknown types of blue-green plants were placed in the four corners. All the surrounding walls were floor-to-ceiling windows. Apart from that, there was no extra furniture. It looked very...

It is spacious and the entire floor is a reception room.

Sorokin was sitting on the sofa waiting. At this time, he stood up to greet him, with a smile on his face, "Your Excellency Black Star, please take a seat."

The elevator door closed, and there were only two people left in the room.

Han Xiao came and sat down opposite Sorokin. Sorokin sat down again and said with a smile: "Rare guest, when you said you came to visit me, I didn't believe it. How could a busy person like you come suddenly?

I’m here.”

"Why, don't you welcome me?" Han Xiao tilted his head.

"Haha, you are joking, of course I welcome you." Sorokin kept smiling and secretly looked at Han Xiao, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

On the surface, he looked warm and hospitable, but Sorokin was actually full of doubts in his heart, secretly speculating on the purpose of Black Star's visit without warning.

The recent rumors of the empire's concession to Black Star have spread wildly to the outside world. Sorokin has naturally heard about it. Although he was surprised, he was not shocked. After all, he had guessed this when Han Xiao just solved the Hela rescue battle.

Possibly, his surprise came more from the fact that the Empire actually did this.

Nowadays, Black Star is the most popular in the universe. At this juncture, this guy suddenly came to him. He didn’t know what his plan was. Could it be that he wanted to cooperate on the issue of evolutionary totems?

Well, it doesn't look like it. There is no reason for the empire to let outsiders interfere, and there has been a business struggle between the Infinite Consortium and the Black Star Legion in recent years. Although he kept silent about it, he has not forgotten it in his heart.

Sorokin was secretly very vigilant at this time.

Han Xiao acted very relaxed, as if he was just here to reminisce about old times, and smiled softly: "This is the first time I have come to your place as a guest. It is really prosperous. It seems that the Infinite Financial Group is developing very well in Glittering World."

"This is all thanks to our partners." Sorokin picked up the wine bottle on the table, opened the bottle cap, and poured Han Xiao a glass with his own hands.

"Well, good wine. This seems to be a glorious high-end product, specially supplied." Han Xiao picked up the wine glass, swung the amber liquid inside, and smiled when he listened to the crisp clanking sound of ice cubes hitting the glass.

, casually said: "Speaking of which, we are also partners in some fields."

"Yes." Sorokin nodded.

Han Xiao did not get straight to the point, but started talking about family matters. Sorokin was not sure of his purpose, so he had to follow the words.

Taking a sip of the wine, the clear and mellow wine flowed down his throat. Han Xiao smacked his lips, thought about it, and suddenly sighed.

"Alas, to this day, I still regret that the Infinite Consortium almost became a closer partner with us, but it is a pity that you finally chose the field of war."

"Haha, business matters are always not done accurately. Compared to the Black Star Legion, which is a self-contained system, the Infinite Financial Group is more willing to invest in a force that has a huge size but is difficult to realize. It is not that the Black Star Legion is not excellent, but that

We are needed more in the field of war, and I deeply regret that the cooperation could not be reached at the beginning."

Sorokin said something for the occasion, but secretly murmured in his heart.

He invested in the field of war in order to support the business rivals of the Black Star Legion and seize the legion's business. Black Star had no reason not to know. When he mentioned this matter at this time, he remained silent about the commercial struggle and did not know about it.

What medicines are sold there?

Let me have this arrogant conversation with this person again... Sorokin thought to himself.

But at this moment, Han Xiao looked up at him and smiled slightly: "Actually, this is the reason why I came today. Today is different from the past. I want to represent the legion and provide an opportunity for cooperation with the Infinite Financial Group."

Hearing this, Sorokin narrowed his eyes, quickly calculated, and suddenly realized something.

I understand, it turns out that this is Black Star’s plan.

After the Evolution Totem is opened, the Infinite Consortium does not need to continue to put pressure on the Black Star Legion's business. The obstacles between the two parties have disappeared. Business cooperation can now be carried out normally. With the size of the Infinite Consortium and the Black Star Legion, if they cooperate

, it is indeed a win-win situation of mutual benefit.

For this reason, Black Star no longer pursues the conflicts of more than 20 years of business struggle and proactively proposes a vision for cooperation.

This approach of putting aside past grudges and making money together suited Sorokin very well. He thought he had guessed Han Xiao's purpose, and immediately relaxed a lot. The smile on his face was no longer formulaic, and finally had a real smile.

.

"Your Excellency Black Star's proposal is exactly what I want. Nowadays, Glittering World is full of opportunities. If the two of us work together, we will be invincible and occupy the majority of Glittering World's market!"

"Since Your Excellency Sorokin thinks so, things will be easier to handle!" Han Xiao slapped his thigh, "Then let's set a date for me to officially become a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the room suddenly froze.

Sorokin's smile froze on his face.

What, the position of shareholder? Aren’t we talking about a normal business cooperation between two companies? How did it get around to this?

However, seeing the playful look in Han Xiao's eyes, Sorokin's heart suddenly thumped, and he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood Han Xiao's purpose.

"Your Excellency Black Star, with all due respect, the cooperation you are talking about is..."

"The cooperation opportunity I provided to the Infinite Consortium is to let me serve as a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium. Don't you just have a vacant position?" Han Xiao smiled meaningfully, and this was his true intention.

Sorokin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally confirmed that Han Xiao's visitor was evil.

While Gorutan's position is vacant, Black Star wants to come over and replace him? Haha, I really think that the position of shareholder of the Infinite Consortium is a trophy. I have to make a decision on whether I can take it!

Focusing on this shareholder position, Sorokin has formulated a detailed strategy to enter the interstellar black market. This is a bargaining chip in the transaction with the secret master. Naturally, he will not give this position to others. This is related to the blueprint of the business empire in his heart and becomes

The interstellar black market protector is an extremely critical step that cannot be missed.

Sorokin's smile faded and he said slowly: "I'm really sorry. Although Gorutan suffered an accident, since he is still alive, he is still a shareholder. If he dies in an accident, according to the terms he signed with me, the shares will be transferred to the consortium.

Take it back, I have no plans to establish new shareholders for the time being. If you want to discuss other cooperation, I will be happy to accompany you. There is no need to discuss the position of shareholder."

Han Xiao didn't take it seriously and chuckled: "If I remember correctly, this is the second time you have rejected my request to become a shareholder."

Hearing this, Sorokin couldn't help but think back. It seemed that Black Star had proposed it once when the two met for the first time more than 20 years ago.

"Yes, I already rejected you at that time, and I still have the same answer today." Sorokin said lightly: "The consortium has a huge foundation. Any change of a shareholder requires the consent of all shareholders. At the same time, the three major universes

Each of the top civilizations has only one shareholder in the Infinite Consortium, and there are three parties to check and balance. Now Kant is already among the shareholders, and Guanghui and Ethereal will not allow a second imperial ally to enter the shareholders' meeting of the Infinite Consortium."

Han Xiao blinked and said meaningfully: "Solokin, twenty years have passed and times have changed. I will give you an offer you cannot refuse."

"oh?"

"Haha, first of all, I want to ask for the consent of all shareholders... Do you think others will support me or reject me?"

Sorokin was stunned for a moment, and his brows suddenly knitted together.

He suddenly discovered that this problem seemed to be no obstacle to Black Star.

Black Star is not what it used to be, and its status in the universe is far greater than it was twenty years ago. He is also responsible for building a Transcendent A Grade united front communication platform. Based on this alone, he can get the support of Manison and Kesuye.

And Kant, as a colleague of Black Star, is even less likely to object.

Sorokin suddenly had a bad premonition.

At this time, Han Xiao smiled and said slowly: "As for the checks and balances of the three major civilizations... Do you think that for the sake of evolutionary totems, Glory and Void Spirit will make an exception and allow a second imperial ally to serve as a shareholder?

In other words, do you think they will take a clear-cut stand against me at this moment?"

See you in the picture!

This is Sorokin's only thought at the moment.

His face completely darkened.

Yes, the empire has opened the evolutionary totem, which has temporarily resolved the hostility between the Glory and the Void Spirit. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this decree by the Empire, the Glory and the Void Spirit may turn into licking dogs who ask for help. Not only do they have to ease their relationship with the Empire,

He will also in turn please Black Star, who controls the Evolution Cube.

What's more, Black Star has their captives in their hands, and they have enough bargaining chips to make Guanghui and Void Spirit compromise. If he insists on writing the conditions for becoming a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium into the redemption clause, then Guanghui and Void Spirit will not stop him.

In turn, it will help Black Star become a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium!

At this moment, Sorokin finally noticed a detail that made him vaguely uneasy but had been ignored. Once the evolutionary totem problem was solved, although he completed the deal between Glory and Void Spirit and got the benefits as he wished, he also lost the two amulets at the same time.

.

This means that if Black Star wants to be a shareholder, he, the head of the consortium, does not have the qualifications to veto!

Either pinch your nose and let Black Star become a shareholder and let this guy eat astronomical dividends in vain, or wait for the three major civilizations to help Black Star and sanction the Infinite Consortium in the commercial field to force yourself to submit.

Even if you don’t want to give it!
