Chapter 1609
Although he could not interact with the outside world without a phone, he had a computer that he used to check the news.Besides, Legend would occasionally talk to him about the events that took place in the world.
He looked at James and asked, “Are you here on behalf of the nation or you as an individual?”
“The nation.” James looked him in the eye and said, “If not for Sol, I’d have no interest in the technology in your handswhatsoever.”
Xavion asked, “How do you plan to cooperate?”
James said, “You're both a scientist and a businessman, so you shouldn’t know much about the situation in the Capital. Howabout | tell you more about it?”
James narrated the chain of events that unfolded—starting from Orient Commerce, which was established a century ago, to thecurrent convoluted web of relationships.
After that, he reiterated once more, “I established New Era Commerce to fight against Orient Commerce. Now, though it hasreached a rather large scale, we need a common interest to tie everyone together.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Xavion looked at James.James said, “I need the technology you have. Feel free to speak up if there’s anything you need.”
After thinking for a moment, Xavion said, “How about this? The chamber of commerce will be responsible for securing the funds.Meanwhile, | will provide you with the technology in exchange for fifty percent of the company’s shares.”
“No way.” James shook his head.Although he knew little about business management, he knew what 50% of the company’s shares entailed.
There were too many businesses in New Era Commerce. Besides, a huge amount of funds would be needed to continueresearch. This was the dawn of a communications technological breakthrough. If they succeeded, they would stand to profitimmensely from this. So, he had to ensure that every member business in New Era would gain something from their cooperation.If Xavion alone controlled 50% of the shares, what would the others stand to gain?
“What can you offer me then?” Xavion looked at James.
After some contemplation, James said, “How about this? We will establish a brand-new telecommunications company to whichyou will be entitled to five percent of its shares. Besides, there will be no need for you to spend a single cent on your futureresearch. Not only that, but | can also promise you that you will hold five percent of the company’s shares no matter how muchthe situation changes.”
Xavion shook his head and said, “Five percent is too little, James. Do you know what the technology in my hands is capable of? |can earn a fortune by cooperating with anyone.”
James smiled faintly and said, “I am the best cooperation partner there is. By cooperating with anyone else, | assure you thatyour interests would only be trampled upon. Your wife is already dead, and | went to great lengths to save your daughter. Do youwish to be confined here for the rest of your life?”
He stood up and continued, “Reflect on what | said, Xavion. If you agree to cooperate with me, return to Sol at once. If not, |won't concern myself with your affairs ever again.”
Upon hearing this, Xavion was lost in thought. After some time, he spoke, “It's a deal, then.”
He had thought long and hard about this. Only by cooperating with Sol could he further his research and have the Z networkpopularized. Entering into a partnership with a conglomerate would not guarantee him the widespread popularity of the Znetwork all across Sol and even the world. Besides, although he had made a research breakthrough, he was still quite a waysfrom succeeding. Furthering his research required a huge fortune that no business could afford to pay.
“Sure.” Hearing this, James smiled and said, “Pack your bags. We're returning to Sol this instant.”“Got it. Give me a minute.”Xavion immediately headed upstairs.novelbin
