Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

"Yes, its full name is the Haiqi Island Academy of Sciences. It is our current research institution, and the power system was developed by the Haiqi Island Academy. However, all the specific details about the Haiqi Island Academy are highly confidential to us, and I am not aware of them either."

He didn't really know much either.

All we know is that the various changes on Haiji Island originated from research conducted by the Marine Science Research Institute.

However, he didn't know who the people at the Ocean Academy were, where it was located, what projects it had, or what achievements it had made; there was only a small amount of publicly available information available to him.

The specific details are highly confidential within Haigi Island.

His task outside Haiqi Island was simply to set up branch offices and recruit personnel.

The specific projects were assigned to him by Haizhi Island, and the recruited and hired personnel studied them. Once the results were achieved, he would then report them back to Haizhi Island.

He only had access to information related to the branch office.

In the early stages of his work at the research institute, his role was primarily focused on overall coordination and information dissemination.

Perhaps later, when there is surplus power, the limited, high-latency transmission channels will not be able to meet the requirements of both parties, and then he will be able to make the arrangements.

"You may not know this, but one of Mr. Yamagami's main goals in coming to Liyue was to expand the Ocean Research Institute."

Ningguang, sitting in her seat, smiled as she explained the news to the Seven Stars.

The seven stars exchanged glances and immediately understood each other's meaning.

We've been colleagues for many years, so we have this much understanding.

Ke Qing, who had only recently been chosen as the Jade Balance Star, was still completely bewildered.

However, she knew that since she didn't know the situation, it was better not to speak and just observe quietly.

Uncle Tian glanced at Ningguang subtly, receiving a signal from her.

Hideo Yamagami felt something was amiss looking at the scene before him.

He wasn't quite sure what Ningguang meant, but he knew:

This woman is not someone to be trifled with!

He always believed that the ability to start from scratch, become the richest person in Liyue and the leader of the Seven Stars was far beyond his reach.

It is even far superior to the other seven stars.

In Hideo Yamagami's mind, dealing with the Liyue Septs is not a problem, but he has to be extra careful when communicating with Ningguang.

Here it is, now.

"cough!"

Uncle Tian, ​​with his gray hair, cleared his throat.

"Well, Mr. Yamagami."

Uncle Tian leaned forward, changing from a relaxed posture in his chair to a posture where he supported himself by pressing his hands on the table.

"I wonder if your company has any specific plans for... expanding this... Marine Science Academy? Is there anything we can do to help?"

Hideo Yamagami felt as if he had sensed the other party's intentions.

Is Liyue also trying to get a piece of the pie?

However, the decision to locate it in Mondstadt was made after unanimous discussion among the high-ranking officials of Coral Palace.

Although he still couldn't understand why, he couldn't change it on his own.

Moreover, his plans in Liyue are not yet on track, and he has limited initial funds.

"Things are going well for now. After careful selection, we plan to open a branch in Mondstadt. Once things settle down in Liyue, we will naturally move on to the next phase of our activities."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Tian leaned back strategically and returned to his chair.

They then exchanged glances with the other seven stars.

What does the other party mean by this?

They came to Liyue to discuss cooperation, but instead of Liyue, they chose Mondstadt next door?

"It is understandable that Mr. Yamagami's side is currently facing difficulties in transportation and has limited resources, so he needs to concentrate his efforts on his work."

During the brief silence, Ningguang stepped forward to "rescue" Hideo Yamagami.

She knew the most, and combined with the information she had previously communicated with Hideo Yamagami, she roughly understood why the other party currently had no plans to carry out related activities in Liyue.

The fact that the other party is "currently" planning means that they simply don't have enough resources at hand, so they want to prioritize the most suitable option.

Although she wasn't entirely sure where Mondstadt had an advantage over Liyue that led the decision-makers to choose Mondstadt over Liyue, since it was a matter of money, it wasn't absolute and there was a good chance of a turnaround.

But the play has already progressed this far, and I still have to cooperate with Uncle Tian.

Meanwhile, on Uncle Tian's side...

【understood! 】

Uncle Tian thought to himself.

[As expected of Ningguang, her words revealed the secret of heaven.]

Doesn't this just mean we have to pay more?

It seems Ningguang has the same idea. In that case, we'll have to show some sincerity.

“Mr. Yamagami, I think it would be better if Liyue provided the funding and covered all the initial investment, and your company could open a branch office within Liyue.”

"Yes, yes, I think that's excellent too."

"That's right, and this doesn't hinder your plans to invest in Mondstadt."

"Furthermore, your company was the first to invest in the power system in Liyue, so it must be the most renowned in Liyue. I imagine that this will make your activities within Liyue more convenient."

"Excellent, excellent. Seven Stars will definitely offer you the most favorable terms."

"Moreover, we can also build it together as a joint venture, and we can also contribute to the subsequent operating expenses. It's a win-win situation for everyone."

As Uncle Tian finished speaking, the reception room instantly transformed into a scene for attracting investment.

The Seven Stars are not stupid.

The future of the power system has been described in great detail, and they see it very clearly.

The opportunity for change is at hand, and not something as controversial as monetary reform.

If they don't find a way to capture them, then their Seven Stars have truly wasted their lives.

How to catch it?

They don't understand things like electricity.

However, they learned from Hideo Yamagami's words that this was the achievement of the Marine Science Institute.

Then the Ocean Science Academy must understand.

Moreover, the research strength of the Ocean Academy has been effectively recognized.

When people heard the name Haiqi Island Academy of Sciences, they couldn't help but think of Fontaine Academy of Sciences.

The predecessor of the latter, the Fontaine Natural Philosophy Institute, developed the clockwork mechanism, while the founder of the latter developed the Desolate Annihilation Energy System, which improved the clockwork mechanism and made it practically feasible.

These spring-loaded mechanisms are still in service in Fontaine today, used in various fields including security, mining, and construction.

But they were incredibly envious.

Now, a new academy has emerged, the Haiqi Island Academy, with a name that is basically the same as the Fontaine Academy and which has also developed a new system.

It's so similar, it's uncanny!

The Fontaine Academy of Sciences originated from the Fontaine Natural Philosophy Institute and has the support of many forces in Fontaine, so they cannot interfere.

Furthermore, its core technology is the unique Wilderness Energy of Fontaine, which lacks versatility and is therefore useless to them.

However, the inherent conditions of the Haige Island Academy of Sciences are far inferior to those of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences. Now, they are actively seeking cooperation, and the power system can clearly bring about many changes for them.

This is their chance.

They, Liyue, also want to participate in this new system and get a share of the profits.

It would be very difficult for Liyue to start a research department from scratch to study electricity technology.

They are completely clueless now, and the Inatsume people won't teach them the relevant techniques for nothing.

In the eyes of the Seven Stars, joint venture and sharing is the best solution for both parties.

You guys need money, we'll invest. If we achieve results, we can share the profits. That's not too much to ask, is it?

It doesn't matter if the other party doesn't accept the joint venture and sharing plan.

The people and the land are all on Liyue's territory, so whatever achievements are made should be considered first for Liyue, right?

They can be the first to try something new.

Even if that doesn't work, being on Liyue's territory means you'll inevitably have to deal with the people of Liyue and various factions, which will make it easier for them to learn (steal) from others.

For Seven Stars, money is not an issue.

It is foreseeable that the application of electricity will be very extensive; what is being shown now is just the tip of the iceberg.

They want to gain more control of the narrative and seize the initiative in this new trend.

Being one step ahead brings countless benefits.

In comparison, the investment in space to build a research institute is truly negligible.

Haiqi Island is restricted in many ways, but Liyue lacks nothing!

Chapter 49 The Passing on of Spirit and Will

Hideo Yamagami had no idea that there would be such an unexpected surprise.

The task assigned above is very clear: a joint venture is possible.

Some research findings can also be shared.

The specific procedures will be left to him to handle, and he will be responsible for deciding how to proceed based on the circumstances.

This applies to Mondstadt.
