Chapter 378 People talking about cooperation
"Hello, my name is Ke Yiming, nice to meet you."
While at the Quenching Fort, Lu Heng met someone who took the initiative to say hello.
When he saw this person, Lu Heng was stunned for a second, so that a look of doubt flashed in the eyes of the man who called himself Ke Yiming.
The reason why Lu Heng was stunned was because this Ke Yiming was the superpower in his memory who obtained the fourth-level job [Death Agent] from the Siren World.
However, that was a lifetime ago.
In this life, because of Lu Heng's intervention, the recruits who entered the world of Siren changed greatly.
Lu Heng had not seen this Ke Yiming in the Siren World, and there was a high probability that he had not been recruited.
Of course, Lu Heng has not seen all the superpowers recruited into the Kraken World, so he cannot be 100% sure.
In a dazed second, Lu Heng had many questions in his mind.
Why did this person suddenly come to your door?
Has he already obtained the fourth rank?
If he gets the fourth rank, will he still be the [Death Agent]?
……
Ke Yiming stretched out his hand. He originally wanted to shake hands, but when he saw that Lu Heng didn't extend his hand, he raised his hand and changed it to waving: "Hello."
"Hello, are you okay?" Lu Heng decided to ask directly, which was much easier than guessing.
"Let me introduce myself. I am from the Levi Mercenary Group. I have some cooperation matters that I would like to discuss with Mr. Lu." Ke Yiming kept a smile on his face and looked very sincere.
In the last life, this Ke Yiming was the first person to be publicly recognized as a fourth-level professional, so he was very well-known.
As he remembered, this man was from the Levi Mercenary Group, and he was in a very high position.
The Levi Mercenary Group is one of the top three mercenary groups in Daxia, with strong connections and strength.
When Lu Heng heard that they were talking about cooperation, he replied in a normal tone: "Business matters are not under my control. You can just find the corresponding person for whatever you want to discuss."
"But, as far as I know, matters concerning the Quenching Fort are all decided by you." Ke Yiming still kept smiling.
Strictly speaking, only Master Gulu can make decisions about the Quenching Fort.
However, Master Gulu usually listens to Lu Heng, so he is right.
Lu Heng was not interested in the cooperation he said, but was interested in him as a person.
After all, he was the first person to obtain the fourth rank in the public information of his previous life, which is indeed very curious.
"Can we sit down and chat for a while? It won't take up too much of your time." Ke Yiming requested.
Lu Heng thought about it for a moment, then took him to a tea room in Quenching Castle. After sitting down, he asked, "Can you tell me your purpose now?"
There were only two people in the tea room, so it was naturally much easier to talk.
Ke Yiming began to get to the point: "A second quenching furnace appeared in the Quenching Fort. Although no one has confirmed it, everyone knows that this quenching furnace was snatched from the Lion Heart Empire...well, it should be said that it was moved here. ”
Lu Heng didn't care about his wording. This trip to get the quenching furnace was indeed a robbery, but it was not a robbery, but a robbery.
One word difference makes a world of difference.
"So?" Lu Heng's expression remained unchanged.
Ke Yiming continued: "Maybe you don't know how many chaebols and capital have invested in Grace Quenching Service Company of the Lionheart Empire. In fact, investing in this company means investing in this quenching furnace, but now the quenching furnace is gone."< br>
Lu Heng did not interrupt and continued to listen to him.
"These chaebols and capital groups are very powerful. Although they don't seem to be taking any action now, they will definitely take action when the time comes." Ke Yiming began to analyze the situation.
It has to be said that the content of his analysis is correct, but Lu Heng has already considered these things and does not need him to remind him.
So Lu Heng wanted to see if he could come up with any meaningful conclusions later.
After Ke Yiming analyzed the situation, he continued: "My Levi Mercenary Group has secret channels to obtain intelligence from abroad, so I know some inside stories.
"I hope to cooperate with Mr. Lu. If we join forces, the Levi Mercenary Group can provide you with information in this area and can also help you handle some overseas affairs."
Lu Heng himself is the leader of Long Wei and can even obtain intelligence through the southern theater.
Of course, the more information the better, and the information can be repeatedly verified.
However, Lu Heng had doubts about his so-called intelligence level: "What intelligence are you referring to? If it is superficial intelligence, it is of little value."
Ke Yiming came closer and said: "Then let me reveal a little bit of information. There is a chaebol family that is connected to a demon king in the abyss world. In addition, there is information that their target may be you."
Lu Heng frowned when he heard this information.
If his information is true, it is indeed dangerous.
As for the connection between the superpowers in the human world and the demon king in the abyss, this is not surprising.
The abyss world and the human world are not two completely isolated worlds. There are many ways to exchange information.
For example, Yuan Yaoyao can contact the Sykes Civilization through the Black Feather Spirit.
Tempering Castle can also contact the Copper Furnace Kingdom of the Dark Iron Dwarves. These are information exchange capabilities across worlds.
So, it is normal for these chaebol families and capital groups to have one or two people with special communication abilities.
However, a family in the human world is connected to a demon king in the abyss world. This matter may have great hidden dangers.
Because it is possible for the demon king of the abyss world to come to the human world.
The finger of the evil god Barton once appeared in the human world and almost resurrected the evil god on Blue Star.
With the current combat power of superpowers in the human world, they are still unable to fight against a demon king.
Lu Heng pondered for a moment and asked: "Which chaebol is it?"
Ke Yiming smiled and said: "This is information that can only be shared after becoming allies."
The information he mentioned is indeed valuable, but it depends on what he wants before you decide whether to accept this information from him.
"What do you want?" Lu Heng asked him directly what his purpose was.
Ke Yiming said seriously: "Our purpose is very simple, we want to enter the Quenching Fort."
Lu Heng replied simply: "As long as you make an appointment with Fire Emblem and there is no problem with your identity, you will have the opportunity to enter the Tempering Castle."
Ke Yiming added: "You should understand what I am talking about. Our Levi Mercenary Group wants to enter the Quenching Fort in a cooperative way.
"Of course, we will all abide by the rules of Quenching Fort. If there is anything that goes against the rules, you can stop cooperation at any time.
"We just want to get an opportunity to enter the quenching fort and conduct business cooperation in quenching, forging and other businesses."
His intention is already obvious, that is, he wants to become the second "Fire Emblem".
Now, the only way to enter Tempering Castle is Fire Emblem.
All quenchers who want to enter the quenching castle to use the quenching furnace must register with Fire Emblem and then make an appointment.
According to the current reservation situation, it will take about half a month to get one.
Not only the quenching business, but also the arrangements for the forging business and the inscription business are also handled by Fire Emblem. Therefore, it is completely up to Fire Emblem whether the Tempering Master, Blacksmith, and Inscription Master can enter the Tempering Castle.
This power is very powerful, and it can be said to be the lifeblood of the enhancement of weapons and equipment for superpowers.
Ke Yiming's request was to become the second Fire Emblem.
However, based on the information he provided, it was obviously unfair to obtain such a huge benefit.
Ke Yiming seemed to understand this, so he went on to add: "Of course, we can continue to discuss specific cooperation plans. Whether it is establishing a new company or cooperating in other ways.
"I think it is enough to register a studio. Mr. Lu is still the main shareholder of the studio. The Levi Mercenary Group can take as much as they want, even if it is only 10%.
"Of course, I understand what Mr. Lu is worried about. You must think that this is a second Fire Emblem.
"Actually, there are some things you may not know. Fire Emblem has some internal problems precisely because there is no competition.
"Some Tempering Masters obviously have good talents and abilities, but they are not getting along with some management of Fire Emblem, resulting in the Tempering appointment being postponed indefinitely.
"There are also some temperers who have personal relationships with Fire Emblem's management, and it often happens that they jump in line to make appointments.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"And because Fire Emblem has no competitors, the company's management can do whatever they want.
"If this continues for a long time, problems will occur sooner or later.
"So, building a second Fire Emblem is not a bad thing.
"If you set up a studio, you will also get the largest share of the equity. Even if it is a second Fire Emblem, it will still be your Fire Emblem.
"If you feel it is inappropriate, you can stop at any time. All decisions are made by you. There will be no problems that cannot be resolved."
When Lu Heng heard what he said about the disadvantages of Fire Emblem, his expression was very serious.
Fire Emblem has been around for a year, and has gone through several big changes during that time.
Regarding the issues he mentioned, Lu Heng had never heard of them before, but since he dared to talk about them, there was a high probability that they were true.
After all, telling lies like this is too easy to get someone involved, and there is no benefit at all.
Ke Yiming then added: "Actually, if Mr. Lu really wants the external business of Quenching Fort to develop healthily, the best way is to add more competing companies.
"If one Fire Emblem store is not enough, then have two. If two families are not enough, then have three.
“With competition, there is motivation for progress.
"The power given to Fire Emblem is too great now, so much so that some people inside have become arrogant."
Lu Heng pondered for a moment and replied calmly: "Okay, thank you for reminding me. I will consider what you said."
Ke Yiming also knew that it was impossible to achieve his goal in one meeting, so he stood up and shook hands readily: "Well, it's our first time meeting you. Mr. Lu is more talkative than I expected. This is my contact information. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time. .”
Lu Heng took the business card he handed over, then made an inviting gesture toward the door and sent him out.
When he walked out of the door, Ke Yiming turned around and waved: "No need to send it off. Thank you Mr. Lu for giving me such a long time."
At this time, Lu Heng suddenly asked: "What level are you now?"
"Um..."
Ke Yiming was stunned for a moment: "Is the source energy level? Level 45."
Lu Heng then asked: "What rank?"
"[Spell Breaker], the third turn, Mr. Lu asked if these are all about something?" Ke Yiming answered truthfully.
"It's nothing, just ask." Lu Heng showed a slight smile and sent him away from the Quenching Fort.
……
Since this person's fourth-level rank in his previous life was [Death Agent], Lu Heng wanted to confirm his current rank, so he asked at the end.
Generally speaking, if a person with superpowers does not actively use his class ability, it is difficult to detect what class he is.
It was impossible for Lu Heng to take him to the laboratory for testing, so he chose to ask directly.
Judging from the tone and demeanor of the other party's answer, he probably wasn't lying.
When he answered the question about source energy level and job rank, his expression and reaction were the same.
For those with superpowers, the level of source energy does not need to be kept secret. After all, perceivers can analyze the approximate energy level intensity through energy fluctuations, and they cannot hide it even if they want to.
Since he answered the two questions with the same reaction, they must both be true.
The wings of the butterfly flapped again. In August of the second year of the Abyss Era, Ke Yiming in this life did not obtain the fourth rank.
Actually, there was another thing that Lu Heng found a little strange.
Ke Yiming should be the strongest psychic warrior in the Levi Mercenary Group. There are not many psychics who can reach level 45 at this time.
Generally speaking, such superpowers with peak combat power will spend their time improving their combat power, and business negotiations will usually be left to others.
But this person came to discuss cooperation in person, which was indeed a bit strange.
……
After Ke Yiming left, Lu Heng sent a notice to convene a meeting with Fire Emblem management.
Regardless of whether what Ke Yiming said is true or not, Fire Emblem must conduct an internal investigation.
As for whether to establish a second and third Fire Emblem in the future, that is a matter for the future. What needs to be solved now is the problem of Fire Emblem itself.
Now that half of Fire Emblem's shares have been handed over to the state, the management is gradually arranging official personnel.
The problems that arise within Fire Emblem may involve corruption. Lu Heng does not need to personally investigate. As long as he raises the question, someone will naturally investigate.
If there is a problem found, no matter who it is, it will be dealt with in a matter-of-fact manner.
Lin Zeyu is also one of the managers of Fire Emblem, but he usually doesn't care about anything.
This is his style of running a company. When he opened Huanyu Security Company before, he didn't care about anything. Anyway, the main job of the employees of this security company was to accompany him in hunting abyssal monsters.
Therefore, he was a little surprised when he heard that there was something wrong within Fire Emblem. His attitude was the same as Lu Heng's, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Fire Emblem holds so much power that if something goes wrong, the impact will be huge.
Lu Heng did not participate in the investigation, but he still found Yuan Hecheng and asked him about the situation.
Yuan Hecheng is the Tempering Master and stays at the Tempering Fort almost every day during the working day. If there is really a problem within Fire Emblem, he will definitely know about it.
However, Yuan Hecheng's answer made Lu Heng fall into deep thought:
"Captain Lu, the situation you mentioned does exist. It is certainly unfair, but it is not serious. In fact, in the adult world, everyone knows that there is no absolute fairness in this world.
"It may also be because I am your quenching assistant, so the company treats me very favorably, and even...I am considered one of the people who jumped in the queue..."
He is Lu Heng's Queen's Tempering Assistant, and the management of Fire Emblem will definitely give him preferential treatment, so when he talks about it, his expression is a little embarrassed.
After hearing his answer, Lu Heng immediately found the person in charge of Fire Emblem and made serious arrangements: "From now on, all arrangements for Tempering Castle business will be in accordance with the rules. No matter who it is, there will be no exceptions, including my people."
