The middle-aged man sitting on the main seat glanced around at everyone present: "You are all Yaqi's uncles. Yaqi's expansion into the interstellar arms trade is also for our Beiyan consideration.
This can be regarded as opening up a new territory. Everything is difficult at the beginning.
When my father started Beiyan, he didn't survive the first ten years before the current Beiyan Interstellar Trading Group was established."
This middle-aged man is the chairman of Beiyan Interstellar Trading Group, the current head of the Li family, and Li Wei's father.
"Chairman, that was then, and now is now.
Now everyone is raising a family. We believe in you, the head of the Li family, so we have invested all our wealth and lives in Beiyan.
But now?
He actually couldn't make ends meet.
Investment in the starship arms trade is a bottomless pit!
If we continue like this, we Beiyan will be destroyed sooner or later!" The second director snorted coldly.
"Sticking to the rules, not wanting to make progress, and not daring to step out of the comfort zone will bring us Beiyan down!" Li Yaqi couldn't help but stand up and angrily yelled.
Hearing what Li Yaqi said, the directors started talking one by one, accusing Li Yaqi of being ignorant, disrespectful, etc.
"I have said before that girls are not suitable for business.
She is almost forty years old, Yaqi.
If you had listened to me and married the earl's son, would you still have to work hard here? You would have become a countess and enjoy the blessings." The second director said with a chuckle.
"Enjoying happiness? Second uncle, I don't want to be a canary in the hands of others like my cousin. Even my cousin-in-law is out looking for flowers and willows, and I don't dare to say a word!
If this is a blessing, I, Li Yaqi, cannot enjoy it!" Li Yaqi also directly fought back without showing any weakness.
The second director looked very ugly.
This second director is Li Yaqi's second uncle and the biological brother of Li Yaqi's father; he is the second largest shareholder of Beiyan Interstellar Trading Group.
"Okay. Let's give Yaqi some more time.
Wasn't it agreed upon five years ago?
It's a five-year period.
As long as Yaqi's starship arms trading department can turn a profit within five years, let this department continue to exist.
Isn’t it still half a year away?
What are you guys so anxious about?" The head of the Li family said cheerfully.
"Then give your niece half a year, and then your second uncle will arrange a good marriage for your niece." The second director snorted coldly and left the conference room.
Other directors also left the meeting room.
The head of the Li family looked at his daughter's unwillingness and resentment, and he sighed: "Yaqi, it's not that dad won't help you.
That's how business is done.
Everyone only cares about profit, and you still have half a year left.
Within half a year, as long as your arms trading department can turn a profit, even if it is flat, I can allow your department to continue to exist.
But...if it fails, forget it.
If you still want to do business, you can continue to do the interstellar transportation trade."
How can it be possible to turn a loss into a profit in half a year... half a year?
She doesn't even have a decent starship product in her hands right now, and she doesn't believe she can turn a profit within half a year.
"I know...Dad, I'm a little tired, I'm going back first." Li Yaqi whispered and walked out of the conference room.
——
Li Yaqi threw herself on the bed in her room, and a furry cat-like pet next to her jumped in front of her.
"Mengmeng, I'm very tired today, go and play by yourself." Li Yaqi covered her eyes with her arms, trying her best to prevent her tears from flowing out.
Five years of preparation, five years of dedication.
More than ten years of youth.
Is this the end of it?
Didi didi didi
At this time, Li Yaqi's handheld terminal rang, and she glanced at it.
It was a communication request sent by my younger brother.
She sat up, adjusted her emotional state, and clicked to agree.
"Sister...sister, why are your eyes so red?" Li Wei greeted his sister through the video screen.
However, due to inter-galactic communication, there is a delay of nearly ten seconds.
"It's okay, I'm just too tired these past few days.
Why did you suddenly come to see me? Have you run out of living expenses again? If I remember correctly, won’t you be on holiday in a few days?
Could it be that you failed the grade assessment this year and have to repeat the grade?" Li Yaqi stared at Li Wei.
Li Wei curled his lips: "Sister, why don't you wish me well at all?
I still have living expenses, and I haven’t missed a grade. I will be in fourth grade next year and can actually pilot a starship!”
"Then why do you want to contact me?" Li Yaqi looked suspiciously at her brother who never went to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.
Li Wei started talking about business: "I sent you a starship drawing and information yesterday. It should have arrived by now. Please take a look.
My friend... made it, and I wanted to ask if you are willing to buy it."
"Starship drawings and information?" Li Yaqi stared at her brother again: "Don't you owe money and want to deceive me here?"
"Sister, why do you always look down on your brother so much? Well, go and see for yourself. If you are willing, please contact me.
I'll help you contact that... friend.
Don't be too demanding. If it's barely usable, just give me a decent price, just as a favor to my brother." At this moment, Li Wei still didn't believe how good the starship Zhao Chen made could be, so he said something nice.
if.
"I won't say anything anymore. Remember to contact me after reading it."
Li Wei didn't want to talk to this old sister who had always looked down on him, so he immediately interrupted the communication.
"This kid... Where does his friend know how to design a starship? He is trying to fool me." Li Yaqi didn't believe Li Wei's words at all.
But she sat on the bed and froze for more than ten seconds, and then somehow opened her mailbox. There was indeed a data file lying inside, and the file showed that it had been decrypted.
Anyway, I have nothing to do now. My starship design department has no sign at all. Let’s take a look at this thing Li Wei sent.
Li Yaqi comforted herself. When she opened the document and looked at the huge starship drawing information, her eyes gradually began to look different.
From being careless at the beginning, to being extremely serious later on, even my breathing became much quieter.
After looking at it for more than half an hour, she suddenly came back to her senses, raised her hand and summoned a holographic computer, and began to simulate some data in the document on it.
No problem...no problem...no problem!
This process took another three hours.
Li Yaqi's expression was extremely rich, and she muttered: "T1 Wolflice-class medium-sized star destroyer...this...this technical drawing..."
She stood up suddenly, quickly copied the starship technology into a data disk, then ran out of the bedroom and ran to the starship design and research department she had set up.
It was originally an hour's journey, but she arrived in just ten minutes by manually driving the flying car.
She didn't bother to change into her researcher's clothes, and rushed directly into the research department, stood in front of her group of researchers and engineers, and pointed at the data disk.
"Hurry up and help me see if the technology of this starship blueprint is feasible!" Li Yaqi could not suppress her excitement: "Within five hours, I want a reliable feasibility report! ... No ... within three hours.
