Chapter 324 - Seize A Rare Chance (1/2)

Xie Xiaolei was frank and sincere in his words.

His main point was that Spirit Creation Creatures’ brand was ruined. If they wanted to make a comeback, they had to get a clean brand to put on themselves.

But he did not want to lose his control over Spirit Creation Creatures, so he did not want to get affiliated with some mega corporation.

If they joined Superstar, they would lose some immediate benefits, but would retain a chance to rise from the ashes.

Of course, to Meng Chao, this trade was not a loss.

Right now, no matter how Superstar developed its business, it would be stuck in the field of harvesting monster materials. It was a field that did not require a high skill level and where competition was very fierce.

This was especially the case since the northern offense. To target the lack of harvesters, many of the businesses, including Agricultural University, set up night schools and training classes to quickly train up low-grade harvesters.

They had rather crude skills, but their fees were also really low.

Many of the resource recovery companies were going all out to hire people, which created a price war, so Superstar’s profit was much lower than they had anticipated.

Middle-grade and high-grade superbeasts like Hell Beasts and Apocalyptic Beasts did not often end up in Superstar’s hands.

They could not handle the difficult monsters, but they did not want to be stuck harvesting low-grade monsters either. Hence, there was a hidden problem in Superstar’s development.

In a few years’ time, the Monster War would come to an end. To solve the problem of tens of millions of people’s employment and development, Dragon City would definitely not stop and launch the colonization war.

At that time, Superstar would die, because it only knew how to harvest monsters.

They had to be in control of necessary skills and set up their plan ahead to ride the tides.

Xie Xiaolei’s suggestion was basically the same as him handing Meng Chao a free lunch.

There were naturally risks that came with it, however.

Xie Xiaolei was an ambitious person who had a lot of tricks up his sleeves and Spirit Creation Creatures was too big for Superstar.

If Meng Chao were the slightest bit careless, their cooperation would end up with Xie Xiaolei supplanting him, and he would have done something as stupid as inviting an enemy into his abode.

But as long as his strength continued increasing and the coattails he was riding on remained strong, the chances of this happening were not high.

If Meng Chao had no knowledge of the future, he might have rejected Xie Xiaolei’s offer just to avoid any unnecessary danger.

After all, with Superstar’s current state, it was enough for his family to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

But since he knew that the apocalypse was around the corner, he had to gamble everything he had time and again to expand his power so that he could influence Dragon City’s development.

Compared to the survival of Dragon City, being in control of Superstar was insignificant.

After coming to this conclusion, Meng Chao said, “I need to think about this carefully. But President Xie, you need to be prepared for the worst. I’m not part of the real operations of Superstar. My father and President Qin might be among the shareholders, but Elder Ning, Yan Organization, and Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu are among our shareholders. Recently, a company under Sky Pillar Organization has also begun working with us. This is an important matter, and I can’t make the call alone.

“Besides, even if we’re as thick as thieves, it’s useless. Right now, Spirit Creation Creatures is still under investigation. Who knows when you’ll be released? We don’t know whether you will be allowed to break down your company to sell it either.”

“Got it. But the fact that you’ll consider it is enough for me.” Xie Xiaolei smiled with confidence. “Don’t worry. As long as both parties have the will, the government will do its best to make the cooperation work. You’re worried that Superstar does not have enough capital and skill to merge with Spirit Creation Creatures, right? Don’t worry about that. The government will think of a way to solve it. All the industries in the biochemical modification field will help you.”

Meng Chao was stunned. “Why?”

“It’s simple. Gao Ye’s betrayal doesn’t just affect Spirit Creation Creatures, but the entire biochemical modification field,” Xie Xiaolei explained. “Look. Once the truth of this matter comes out, not only will Spirit Creation Creatures face the threat of destruction, the entire biochemical modification field, countless genetic editing companies, biotechnology industries, and our beloved Agricultural University will suffer a huge blow.

“The runic symbol machines faction will regain the upper hand, then. This is something that the biochemical modification faction will not just watch happen without doing anything.

“Right now, the most important thing for us to do is solve this problem as soon as possible so that it will not fester. It’s fine even if Spirit Creation Creatures loses the construction deal for Subway No.20. I’m fine with letting any other biochemical modification company take it, but we can’t let it fall into the hands of the runic symbol machines faction.

“So, you should talk about this with your tutor and the higher-ups in Agricultural University. Trust me, you’ll get the green light in all areas, and they’ll provide you with various resources. This is a once in a blue moon chance, so you must seize it!”

“I will.” Meng Chao nodded.

Strategies in the business field were not his field of expertise.

But he could ask a lot of people for advice, like Qin Hu, Ning Shewo, Yan Hengbo, and Lu Siya. Of course, he could also go through Gu Jianbo and ask Black Tortoise Zong Yue.

If he could get the support from the various leaders in the field, he might actually be able to swallow the dinosaur.
