[Humph, once you get into my bed, you're mine. Shouldn't Sister Muse make some plans for her own little family? ]
[Well, that's what I said, but I am also a member of the company. After all, I am a shareholder. Ah Lan, as the saying goes, a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. For the sake of our relationship, can you please not let me lose too much? ]
[Otherwise, I really can't explain it, Alan, please, okay? ]
Muse, who recognized the reality, hugged Shen Yuelan's slender waist tightly and refused to let go, as if she wanted Shen Yuelan to give her a definite answer. Looking at the beautiful lady in front of her who had become a punching bag, Shen Yuelan felt a little bit reluctant.
Seeing that the other party has been taken advantage of by her, it would be immoral to push for more. After establishing this relationship, they will inevitably have frequent interactions, so it is better to leave some room for them.
[Hmm, what do you mean? ]
[How about this, in addition to the battleships we agreed on earlier, I will give you two more medium-sized battleships and 2 armed robot soldiers? ]
[Well, that's more like it. Don't worry, I won't let my lover suffer any loss. I promise that this batch of goods will be received before you get off the ship. How about that? ]
[Oh! Time is money. If this is the case, it would be great. I can have some excuses when I go back. What about the exclusive rights? Can you consider us?]
Shen Yuelan was so obsessed with Muse. Just imagine, a cold and aloof CEO who was usually decisive and efficient was now lying in her arms and acting coquettishly and cutely. The contrast was amazing. A sense of conquest rose in Shen Yuelan's heart.
This woman is truly a beauty.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Shen Yuelan stopped talking about Qiao, brought out the results of her discussion with Su Xuan, and began to test the bottom line of the woman in her arms.
[I have discussed this with my foreign trade consultant. I am afraid that the one from Bei Empire is not acceptable. Someone has already taken a fancy to it. However, the one from Silver Federation is acceptable. How long do you plan to buy the exclusive rights for? How do you want to buy it?]
[I see, the Silver Federation is fine, but we want to obtain the exclusive rights for at least a thousand years.]
[As for the price, the company has prepared a complete set of battleship blueprints. In addition to the various battleships we sell to you, it even includes the blueprints of the Moon! These things are very important for you to maintain and extend the life of the void battleship fleet, right? ]
[The blueprints of the Yuelong were originally my bargaining chip for negotiation. Now I tell you directly, don't say I didn't take care of you. ]
[Yes, yes, Muse is so nice, a thousand years, right? No problem, let's happily decide.]
[Hey? Aren’t you trying to bargain? ]
[I believe Muse will not cheat me. ]
[Uh, oh, really, you trust me so much, it seems that I am a bit ungrateful. How about this, in addition to the drawings I just mentioned, I will give you an additional 4% profit dividend, and 5000 billion tons of ammunition reserves, how about it? ]
[Wow, I'm so sad. Miss Muse really has something to hide from me. Wow...]
[Oh, my little darling, don't be like this, I get it, I get it, can I give you another 10 cubic meters of soil, please? No more, if you add more, I will really lose money! ]
Chapter 244: Alone
Shen Yuelan stared at Muse with suspicion for a long time. Muse could not stand the pressure and had to promise Shen Yuelan a tourist ship. Adding these things together, it seems like a lot, right?
But compared with the huge profits made by the Rhine Armed Escort Company from selling alcohol, it was still a drop in the bucket. Shen Yuelan discovered this from the company's dividends she received later.
The reason was simple. The mere 40% of the company's dividends actually made more money than Su Xuan had worked hard to drive a cart for a year. The little fox was furious at that time and was about to abandon the fleet and run to the Bei Empire to work as a barmaid.
From the perspective of the little fox, all I can say is that nothing can make as much money as the tobacco and alcohol business. And from Shen Yuelan's perspective, all I can say is that even if you roll into the same bed with the businessman Ben Shang, don't expect to get a single word of truth from her.
Of course, these are all things that happened later. At least Shen Yuelan is still very happy now. After the business deal was successfully concluded, the two of them took advantage of the good atmosphere and stayed intimate in bed for a long time before separating.
Looking at the elegantly dressed Muse, Shen Yuelan couldn't help but recall the charming scene just now. It seemed that she had not had any affair since she left the Warring States Period.
Su Shang and I have recently fallen into a period of burnout due to the seven-year itch, and have focused more of our energy on fleet operations. We are often not seen for several days, not to mention Du Juan, who is a guy with rich theoretical knowledge but zero practical experience.
Once, she was so angry with Shen Yuelan that she wanted to have sex with her. But before Shen Yuelan could do anything to her, she started crying. Shen Yuelan asked her why she was crying, and she said she was scared.
Shen Yuelan was speechless. You don't have the guts, so why are you showing off? Fortunately, Du Juan became obedient after that and never dared to tease Shen Yuelan again.
But this also left Shen Yuelan without anyone of her own. Huanyan doesn't count, as she was raised as a daughter.
Shen Yuelan looked back on her experiences over the years and was surprised to find that in the end, she was still alone and no one could stay until the end.
From Zhao Yuanxian and Shen Luoqing at the beginning, to Liu E, Mi Yuan, and then to Lu Lingjia and Queen Jun, they first broke into Shen Yuelan's life rudely and constantly attracted Shen Yuelan's attention.
When she was completely attracted to him and began to face him and planned to have a passionate love with him, they were like moths in a flame, waving their sleeves and saying goodbye without waiting for Shen Yuelan's consent.
If you have the ability, you can go on to play the second game with Shen Yuelan. If you don’t have the ability, you can only live in Shen Yuelan’s heart forever.
[Helplessly the flowers fall, the familiar swallows return, the flowers have gone, I only hope the swallows return, alas]
[Tsk tsk, don't wait for Yan to return, Master, your lover has already left. ]
Shen Yuelan's longing was forcefully interrupted by Huanyan, and her thoughts had to return to the present. The tall figure of Muse was no longer in the room. There was only a pure and lovely Huanyan, who was cleaning the house helplessly.
[Hey, sorry, Huanyan, I forgot to turn off empathy again. ]
[It doesn't matter, as long as I can turn it off, so, was it that beautiful lady again who prevented me from returning to my room last night? ]
[Hey, it's Miss Muse from the Rhine Armed Escort Company, the one who confronted Gan Xingyan at the meeting before.]
[Oh, I remember that. How did you two get together? I don't remember us having any contact with her? ]
[It's business. She wanted to talk to me about the wine business. Now the deal has been made. Believe me, this deal will bring us huge benefits! ]
Shen Huanyan glanced at Shen Yuelan's shoulders. The five or six slightly reddish bite marks on them were extremely eye-catching against the backdrop of her snow-white skin, and made Shen Huanyan feel very dazzling. She curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
These were just a few bites on her shoulders. Who knows how many bites she received on her delicate body under the quilt? She asked sarcastically:
[For example? If my master can offer himself voluntarily, the benefit must be great, right? ]
Shen Yuelan saw the girl looking at her for a long time before she uttered those words, and she knew that this girl was unhappy. Humph, this little thing underestimates herself too much. When did I, your master, become the one on the bottom in my life?
[Tsk, you little bastard, remember this, I am the only one who sleeps with others in this world, no one else sleeps with me, the kiss marks on my body are just an accident! An accident!]
[Yes, yes, my extremely sore fingers have told me, so what?]
[So we will get a complete fleet of void battleships, from blueprints to medium-sized battleships. In addition, we will also get a luxury tourist ship, 10 cubic meters of land, and % of the annual dividends.]
[Hiss, what's the price? Is it what I imagined? Could it be your sacrifice? ]
[Go away, I told you to stop reading those romance novels. If you could really get so much stuff in one sleep, I would have gone to a brothel long ago.]
[Tsk, I was just joking, so what? How much alcohol should we sell them?]
[Yes, 25 billion liters, plus a thousand years of monopoly in the Silver Federation.]
[Humph, I knew there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. But, 25 billion liters? Can Su Jiu handle it? ]
[Don't worry, I only signed after confirming with them, and I have already assigned Qin Ruishi to help, so Su Jiu won't be overworked.]
[By the way, this is the detailed list of goods that the other party promised to deliver. You will go to Rhine in person to hand them over. Although Muse and I have had an improper relationship, businessmen are businessmen and will not give up the pursuit of profit because of this matter.]
[We must do a good job of acceptance, do you understand? ]
[Okay, Master, don't worry, I will do a good job of handing over the work, and I will definitely live up to your hard work! ! ]
【Shen! Huan! Yan! 】
[Eh! !]
Seeing that Shen Huanyan was about to rush out, Shen Yuelan suddenly remembered what Gan Wanchuan had asked her to convey, and had no choice but to call Shen Huanyan back.
[Wait, I haven't finished yet, come back here! ]
【Oh, what else? 】
[There is one more thing. Wanchuan asked me to tell you something. She said that although I, Gan Wanchuan, am not capable now, I will not always be incompetent. One day, she will become the most powerful enchantress in the universe. When that time comes, please do not reject her.]
[I see. What else did she say? ]
[Well, she also said that she would protect me as well. She told me that this sentence was very important and asked me to remember to tell you this. Haha, what a lovely girl.]
[Hmph, what were you doing earlier? Okay, Master, I got it. I will just wait for her to become successful.]
[Oh, Master, I have something else to do. I will leave first.]
[Well, you still want to go out? ]
[Well, although Su Jiu is mainly responsible for the winemaking work, we can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor. I'll go see if there's anything I can do to help.]
[You're right. I'll go take a look too. Wait for me to put on some clothes and then we can go together.]
[Yes, you have to wear underwear too, Master.]
[Oh my! You, really, I know it! ! ]
Chapter 245: Extraneous Branches
To be honest, Su Jiu's working environment was not very suitable. After all, there was no functional area like a wine-making workshop on the Yuelong. Su Jiu could only find a larger cabin to work in.
The relevant raw materials can only be purchased at the supply stations along the way. Yes, Shen Yuelan and her team did not make a one-time jump, but divided the journey into several sections and made multiple short-term jumps.
The reason for doing this is that, on the one hand, there are many strongholds of forces on the ship, all of which are outside the inner world. Based on the principle of sending a Buddha to the west, Shen Yuelan and others finally decided to send them directly back home.
This saves them from having to travel back and forth from the inner world. In this way, it can be considered a good relationship. After all, no one knows when this good relationship can be used.
Another factor is naturally that Su Xuan and the others want to practice sailing. This kind of large-scale practice is an important way for crew members to quickly become proficient. Although doing so will somewhat waste musical instruments, at least they don't have to do it twice.
As for the fees that would be incurred by doing so, she would just owe them for now. Shen Yuelan already had a lot of debts so she wouldn't have to worry about them anymore, although this would make Gan Yuelong, as Shen Yuelan's creditor, feel a little helpless.
The cabin was filled with golden grains and colorful fruits, which were the raw materials for Su Jiu to make wine. Nearly ten thousand Qin Rui soldiers with bare upper bodies were grinding the raw materials and transporting the finished products.
The saccharification, fermentation, and distillation steps are personally controlled by Su Jiu. After the wine is brewed, it will be sold directly to the Rhine River, so the storage, blending, and packaging steps can be omitted.
The brewing site was bustling with activity, and there was a big fat fox directing and dispatching tasks, looking quite majestic.
Naturally, Su Xuan also noticed the arrival of Shen Yuelan and others. After she finished explaining the last thing on hand, she ran over to greet Shen Yuelan.
[Hey, Boss? How does Miss Muse taste? ]
[Tsk, who is so gossipy? How come even you know about this? ]
[Hahaha, of course it's your new lover. As soon as that guy left your house, he ran out to declare his sovereignty, telling everyone he met that she was your girlfriend, so that others would stay away from you.]
[I really didn't realize that this guy has such a strong possessiveness towards you, Boss.]
[Humph, if it was in the past, you would have blown up the temple long ago, but now, you all treat it as a spectacle. Sigh, I really don’t love you anymore.]
[Ah~ It's weird to hear you say this, Boss. Let's get to the point.]
Shen Yuelan snorted coldly when she heard that, and confidently repeated to Su Xuan the results of her negotiation with Muse. However, Shen Yuelan did not receive the praise she had imagined. Instead, Su Xuan looked at her strangely.
[What…what happened? Is there any problem with the negotiation results? ]
[Uh, oh, why did that woman Muse suddenly want to take you for herself, Boss? It turns out she met a stupid and rich guy. ]
[Forget it, Boss, I won't discourage you. From now on, I will handle all the business negotiations, so that you don't have to sell yourself out and count the money for others.]
[Huh? What do you mean? Su Xuan, what do you mean by that? Don't leave, explain clearly to me, why are you running away? You bastard! Be careful, I'll have Fox Hot Pot for my next meal!]
Su Xuan's words made Shen Yuelan wonder, did she ask for too low a price? No, she wanted a lot, a quarter of the dividend, two battleships, a sightseeing ship and 10 cubic meters of land, it was too much.
[Huanyan, what did Su Xuan mean just now? Did she say that my asking price was too low?]
[Well, I think that's what it means. Let's not talk about the wine, the monopoly is at least for a thousand years, so there is still room for further negotiation.]
[When I was chatting with Su Xuan before, she said that negotiation is about constantly putting pressure on the other party, taking every step carefully, and constantly trying to gain the greatest benefit from the other party.]
[Like what you told me before, I think it won’t work. No matter how much profit Miss Muse says she gives us, we will most likely suffer a loss.]
[Oh, I knew it. Okay, I'm going back first. If you want help, go and help Su Xuan. I'm sad. I want to go back and rest! ! ]
[Uh, yes, yes, goodbye. 】
Shen Yuelan walked back to the room and couldn't stop sighing, with a resentful look on her small face. She knew that the public business representative was Su Xuan, so how did that woman find her? It turned out that she had been planning this for a long time.
But now that the contract has been signed, there is absolutely no room for repentance. Shen Yuelan can only swallow this loss for the time being and find an opportunity to make up for it later.
After this matter was said, the return journey was already halfway through. At that time, the Yuelong was docked at a transit station called Maishita Town. As the name suggests, this is a free city in the style of Inami.
Shen Yuelan looked at this city which was extremely similar to Daoguang yet completely different, and immediately decided to go down and take a look around.
She called Dujuan, who was doing nothing on the Yuelong, and together they slipped out of the battleship and ran into this absurd city to adventure.
On the surface, Maixia Town looks like a country that has clicked on the wrong technology tree. Their buildings, whether they are bungalows or high-rise buildings, are all made of wood.
It is not difficult to understand that ordinary single-family houses use wood, but Shen Yuelan was very interested in the fact that high-rise buildings that are hundreds of meters high also use wood.
Of course, there are also things about this place that Shen Yuelan hates. This is a typical capitalist city without any social welfare guarantees. Beggars roaming the streets are everywhere. You can find a cart full of beggars in any alley.
There aren't even the most basic laws here. It's a completely lawless place. Violence, killing, and rape are everywhere. If Shen Yuelan hadn't had Du Juan looking after her, she would have been robbed countless times just based on her offending little face.
This place is also a notorious city of desire, and the most profitable business here is the singing girls in the brothels. If this place was not the most important supply point on the return route, ordinary merchant ships would not be willing to dock here.
The singing girls in brothels here are criminal activities in the modern sense, rather than the star industry in ancient China, so they can be described as vulgar and evil. Those people just now might not have intended to sell Shen Yuelan to the red-light district.
[Tsk, this place is really rubbish. It looks bright and beautiful on the surface, but it is rotten inside. I just saw a few female crew members being knocked unconscious and taken away.]
[Is it from our ship? ]
[That's not the case. Judging from his clothes, he looks like someone from the Skyship next door.]
[Then don't make any more trouble for now. When you go back, just notify Weikonghao. I don't want to delay Su Jiu's delivery progress because of this matter.]
