Chapter 681 Hello, uncle!
Jacques Cole actually always believed that Amber should have taken this visit to meet his "uncle", let alone bringing Isabel.
But Jacques Cole didn't expect that Amber would come to him the next day after his visit. You should know that he attended the dinner and cocktail party arranged by His Royal Highness the Princess last night. There were so many imperial nobles present, and maybe many people wanted to be familiar with him.
At this good time to expand his business, he was not busy developing business for Atlas Group, but instead came to find himself.
"I don't know if this kid really wants to come to visit me, his 'uncle', or if he has a big appetite and needs to join the imperial minister of finance?"
After thinking for a moment, Jacques Cole spoke, "'Wokin', the unfinished matters - whether it is official or 'private matters', will be transferred to tomorrow for a long time, and priority will be raised."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as the words of "Workin" ended, the virtual screen on Jacques Cole's desk cleared all the data and information, and then the Chancellor of the Exchequer also stood up and walked towards the cubicle on the inside of the office.
"Appoint it and meet in the office in fifteen minutes. By the way, clean up the office."
After saying that, Jacques Cole walked into the compartment, and the entire office began to clean under the control of "Woking". The air purification device began to operate at the highest power, making the air in the room look fresh. At the same time, some aromatherapy ingredients were added. Several hidden cleaning robots also started working. The floor-to-ceiling curtains were completely opened, and the fill lights also made the room brightness reach the most comfortable state.
In just a few minutes, this originally slightly messy Secretary of the Finance Minister's Office quickly restored the tidy and solemn it should have.
Jacques Cole also took advantage of this time to quickly sort out his appearance and then put on a brand new outfit. He was the imperial minister of the imperial court, and he could not lose face in front of the "guests" who came from afar.
Fifteen minutes later, when Amber walked into the Chancellor's office under the guidance of a Treasury official, the first thing he saw was Jacques Cole, who was dressed in a decent manner and looked majestic on his face.
"Mr. Amber"
"Long time no see, uncle~"
Amber's "uncle" blurted out almost made Jacques Cole unable to hold on the spot. He had to admit that the rising star never played according to the rules, just like what the intelligence said.
"I'm very busy, Mr. Amber doesn't have time to joke with you." Jacques Cole frowned, then picked up the newly brewed tea on the table and took a sip.
"That's great, Mr. Jacques Cole, then I'll just say it~"
Amber was like an old acquaintance and naturally sat on the chair opposite the desk, then said:
"Uncle, what is your attitude towards His Highness Princess Agnes's coming to the throne?"
"Puff"
——
Amber first had the idea of "investing" Agnes when the Atlas Group had just had a conflict with the Regent.
This was followed by Baron BASF's multiple visits and Agnes sent a fleet to help him.
The conversation with Agnes in the car on the day of visiting the capital of the Empire also allowed Amber to fully understand the needs of both sides.
Atlas Group hopes to officially develop its business in the Empire and best to control the entire industrial chain step by step like the current Federation.
Due to the domestic political crisis, Agnes hopes to have enough support and trump card to allow her to ascend the throne smoothly. It can be said that the cooperation between the two sides is to a certain extent to learn from each other's needs and strengths.
Amber hopes that the Atlas Group will expand its capital through Agnes' influence as the princess of the Empire. It would be even better if the other party can successfully ascend the throne. In this way, the Atlas Group will become the "Empress's Strict Choice". Agnes hopes to introduce this huge world giant to increase his bargaining chips and succeed to the throne successfully, and at the same time, he can also use the economic benefits generated by the Atlas Group to enhance the strength of the empire.
So sometimes, hit it off and say something like this is not just a talk.
Of course, this is just the general idea of Agnes and Amber. Many detailed things naturally require the teams of both sides to conduct subsequent docking. However, what can be clear at the moment is that both sides really want to cooperate.
Amber's "Psychic Power" and Agnes's "Dragon Hard" both have certain mind-reading and lie detection abilities, so they used this ability to test in the conversation between the two sides, including a formal conversation after the cocktail party, and the final result was a happy ending.
So the welcome dinner last night became Amber's first inspection of the business environment of the Star Empire - especially the power of the 'Princess Party'.
Sometimes, Amber has to admit that psychic energy is indeed a good thing, but the resources invested by humans in this world are used to study how to use psychic energy as a weapon.
In fact, this strange energy has many wonderful uses, such as greatly improving the charm and eloquence of the psychic, and giving it a certain degree of mind-reading ability.
After combining these, Amber successfully became the ‘succubus’ at the welcome dinner.
Originally, most of the nobles who came to attend the welcome dinner came for Princess Agnes's face, and more wanted to take the opportunity to show their loyalty and become familiar with each other. After all, the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness on weekdays is not available at any time.
But when Amber began to shuttle and talk at the banquet site like a fish in water, the focus of the dinner quickly shifted to him.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Because these nobles ultimately wanted to seek more benefits and strengthen their families. When the Atlas Group, a powerful global enterprise, appeared, business opportunities also emerged.
The final result was that through this welcome dinner, Amber at least understood the business and economic situation of the main aristocrats in the "Princess Party" and conducted a simple survey.
It can be said that the Star Dragon Empire is a blue ocean to the Atlas Group.
These "lovely" imperial nobles may be masters in making money and exploitation projects, and have their own unique insights, but in terms of economic development or economic thinking, they are indeed much worse than the giants in the federal side, and they are even a bit silly and cute in some aspects.
Fortunately, the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire had not had close economic exchanges before. The huge territory of both sides was enough for two huge countries to operate independently. If the two sides had a little closer economic exchanges, the Federation could fight the Star Dragon Empire through economic warfare.
But now that Atlas Group is here, Amber believes that with the performance of his colleagues in the Financial Business Center, they can also make up for this "regret" for these imperial nobles.
To do the above, Agnes' successful succession is the key.
So Amber soon thought of Isabel's uncle Jacques Cole. He remembered that the imperial secretary of the treasury seemed to be a "neutral" with a high status and power. If he could persuade him to support Agnes, the situation would immediately become different. Other "neutral" would also regard it as a "barometer" and ultimately affect their decision.
What's more, the Atlas Group wants to fully expand its business in the empire, and the key position of the Chancellor of the Finance Department must be unavoidable. This is why Amber went to the Ministry of Finance to find this cheap uncle on the second day of his visit.
