Chapter 1265, Boatworkers’ Meeting
1265, Boatworkers’ Meeting
The wedding to Adele Ulan was just an episode.
It was Tang Xiao’s wedding manager Jarno’s idea to hold the wedding at this time, because she said that if she waited until Lendili’s affairs were settled before marrying Adele Ulan, then it would be It would really make this wedding seem like a transaction, and in this transaction where it seemed like one hand paid and one hand delivered, Tang Xiao seemed to be the inferior party.
Because it must be clear that this time it is Lundili and the Ulan family who came to beg Tang Xiao, not the other way around.
So now, coming to such a wedding in the midst of war has become an act to make the Ulan family bow their heads and submit - yes, this is also an exchange of interests.
Although Banjira Ulan was a little reluctant, things had developed to this point and he had to bow his head.
He has openly fallen out with the Galactic Republic. Now his only support is separatism, the Confederation of Independent Systems, the Dawn Planet, and Tang Xiao.
He gave up his family's beloved youngest daughter, and bound the interests of his family and company to Tang Xiao, embarking on a 25,000-year history of family development. It means a 180-degree turn.
Although Adele Ulan is confirmed as the first heir to the family and company, there is still a lot of room for maneuver in this matter, which does not mean that the family and company are really handed over to Tang Xiao. , but after all, after reaching this point, there is no turning back.
For Tang Xiao, he ended the wedding hastily and rushed to the space port immediately, preparing to take the shuttle to the planetary defense fleet. He must also ensure that this fleet is under his control.
Bangila Ulan was also very busy. Tang Xiao told him that he must obtain control of the orbital defense platforms around the planet Rendili. To do this, he must obtain it at the shipbuilders' meeting. Enough support.
The Shipwrights Conference is actually a parliament-like organization within Lundilli Interstellar Power Company.
When the Galactic Republic was first established, Rendili Interstellar Power Company was just a shipyard, and then it achieved its current scale through continuous development and mergers.
When they first started their business, the ancestors of the Ulan family would hold meetings in the warehouse with the bosses of several of their factories, workshops and shipyards to discuss the next shipbuilding plan.
What kind of ship to build, how to build it. There are no advanced quantum auxiliary devices, no super artificial intelligence that can perform countless calculations per second, there are just countless drawing tools, basic computer hosts and the rough hands of shipwrights that are full of the smell of engine oil.
That's how they were. Twenty-five thousand years ago, when mankind had just entered the starry sky, they hammered out the Republic's first-generation warship hammer by hammer.
Twenty-five thousand years have passed, and the boatmen's conference that was once held in a warehouse has now become a top summit where a wave of hands means the flow of hundreds of billions of funds.
But tradition is still tradition.
Lundilli Interstellar Power Company is such a traditional company.
The current Rendili Interstellar Power Company owns a total of more than 5,200 interstellar shipyards, of which more than 3,700 are near the Rendili planet. The ownership of these shipyards is dispersed in the hands of more than 1,200 shipyard owners, and these shipyard owners also jointly formed the main body of Rendili Interstellar Power Company through the Shipyards Congress. As the leader of Lundili Interstellar Power Company, the Ulan family has more than 1,000 interstellar shipyards directly under their control. In other words, the Ulan family directly controls a quarter of the industrial production capacity of Rendili Interstellar Power Company, not counting the shipyards they indirectly control.
This time, faced with unprecedented changes in the 25,000-year history of Rendili Planet and Rendili Interstellar Power Company, the Shipwrights Conference was held again.
Bangila Ulan walked up to the rostrum seriously, faced the hundreds of shipyard owners present, and said his opening remarks solemnly, "As I said before, the Galactic Republic They have been plotting to seize our Lundili assets for a long time, and now their conspiracy has finally come to light, and what I have to do is resist! And then find our own path!"
There was an uproar in the audience. Several shipyard owners immediately objected loudly. They stood up and said: "Your so-called resistance to the Galactic Republic and preventing the Republic from seizing our assets will result in handing over our assets to separation. Is there any difference between the two except that we will have a war in our own homeland?”
"If you want to resist the Republic, you Ulan family should go on your own! Don't take us with you!"
Banjila Ulan seemed not to hear these objections. He just continued on by himself: "Just Not long ago, I just handed over the position of executive director of Lundili Interstellar Power Company to the youngest daughter of our family, Adele Ulan, and now she is married to Mr. Tang Xiao, the governor of Dawn Planet. Dili Interstellar Power Company will officially become a member of the Confederation of Independent Systems.”
The opposition in the audience was even louder, and some shipyard owners even jumped on the table and yelled at Bangila-Ulan.
Looking at the noisy crowd in the audience, a strange smile gradually appeared on Banjira Ulan's face. He whispered something into the microphone, not caring whether lowering his voice would cause harm. I was overwhelmed by the noise in the audience.
“Look at that...this is the Boatmen’s Assembly, and this is where the ancestors of the Ulan family once stood 25,000 years ago. But have our ancestors ever thought that when our company faced extinction? During the disaster, these boatmen were not thinking about how to save the company, but how to survive alone..."
He looked up at the ceiling and sighed: "It's ironic... It's ironic... Only today do I really realize that Rendili is really old..."
Screaming from the audience It has become more and more serious, and some shipyard owners even turned around and wanted to leave.
However, those shipyard owners who wanted to leave were surprised to find...
The door to the venue was blocked! !
The smile on Banjila Ulan's face became brighter and brighter. He grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly: "Do you think I'm here to discuss with you? No no!! Hahahahaha ! Today, I am here to play the ending of this 25,000-year-old boat meeting!”
As soon as he raised his hand, dozens of mechanical spheres rolled in from the passage around the venue.
As these mechanical spheres stopped and unfolded, beetle-style robots with simple structures and twin blaster machine guns installed on their hands surrounded the entire venue.
Destroyer Robot! ! -
What to do, what to do... Adele Ulan's description makes me have the urge to go under the knife...
