Hua blinked his eyes and made a stealthy face at Ms. Mei, showing off his teeth.

  Gu Xiechen stood up and grasped Mrs. Mei's hand at the first opportunity. He squeezed her clean, cool palm tightly and chuckled: "This is also our honor. The Hadley Company is willing to form the most reliable alliance with Kunquan, I wonder what Mrs. Mei thinks?"

  Ms. Mei's rigid face revealed a hint of a smile, she tightly grasped Gu Xiechen's hand and said seriously: "This is also what we have been thinking, Kunlun would be delighted to have another ally."

  The Earl of Chakmber's eyes widened in surprise, his eyeballs spinning rapidly, and soon a scornful sneer appeared on his face.

  Jin Bolai glared at the two people holding hands tightly, his teeth clenched and his hands twisted into fists under the conference table.

  Borton's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and their hands instinctively rested on the holsters at their waists.

  Ms. Mei ignored the flickering gaze of the other four people and said to Gu Xiechen in a friendly manner: "This exchange conference will also decide the market share of our six major defense companies in various fields for the next five years, as well as some key projects such as the management rights of the Federal New Soldier Training Camp, the daily defense work of the Federal Five Major Banks, the construction and protection of the mining bases of the Federal Ten Major Mining Companies, the security of the headquarters of the Federal Top 1000 Enterprises, and the close protection of important members of various families."

  The brothers, Banruo and Mohé, exchanged a shocked glance. Banruo's left hand and Mohé's right hand quickly changed to a hand seal, mutually urgent and pressing, as the vital energy and death energy inside them flowed like the Taiji diagram, slowly calming their agitated emotions.

  The business scope of the five major defense companies is unimaginable to the mercenaries of the Hell's Angel Mercenary Corps. When the mercenaries were risking their lives to escort the transportation teams of those big companies, facing harsh natural environments such as meteor showers, asteroid impacts, and solar storms, as well as potential attacks from Roman raiders at any time, these defense companies took over countless lucrative and low-risk jobs instead.

  "We are just a bunch of bandits, they are the ones who have already divided up the spoils and are sitting on their gains!" Cao Mohe muttered to himself with a sigh.

  Guxie, with his body leaning towards Ms. Mei, puffed on his cigar and smiled as he asked: "So this exchange meeting has this kind of meaning? Everyone relies on their strength to divide up the territory?" Suddenly, the emerging news made Guxie a bit caught off guard, compared to this important information, being shot with a sniper rifle was nothing.

  Ms. Mei nodded solemnly and said calmly, "This is the rule set by the E Group. Since the 93 War, all defense companies have followed this rule. A five-year exchange conference, relying on their respective performances to divide the market share in various fields of the Federation for the next five years, the strong win!" Behind her, a slender short-haired girl stood up and handed a thick file to Sai Zi beside Gu Xiechen.

  Sai Ren handed over the file and flipped through it, placing the file in front of Gu Xie Chen. The files recorded the defense applications that could be allocated to the defense company in the next five years, with tens of thousands of large and small items, each with an estimated profit that was frighteningly high.

  Gu Xie Chen glanced over a defense task on the first page, which was to help the Federal Academy build a high-security laboratory on the moon, constructing a perfect defense system. The total investment for this laboratory construction could be over tens of billions, and the defense company's profit margin was around 12%.

  Gu Xie Chen let out a light sigh, thinking back to his first mission in the Hell Angel Mercenary Group, where thousands of brothers fought against the Roman smuggling team in the dense forest, with a final profit of only a cubic Zakra energy crystal. In comparison, this defense task could be easily taken down by dispatching an elite defense expert team, with a rich profit.

  His hands were heavily pressed on the document, and Gu Xiechen and Jin Bolai exchanged a glance. His gaze was cold and eerie, making Jin Bolai and others feel uneasy and lower their heads. Gu Xiechen asked in a deep voice, "Very well, it seems that the corn stick issue is just an entertaining program. I'd like to ask, what is the way this exchange meeting will divide the market share?" Everyone looked at Jin Bolai simultaneously, who took a deep breath, suppressing the fear and anxiety caused by exchanging glances with Gu Xiechen. He spoke in his most stable voice, "According to last year's rules, our five major defense companies first allocate a certain percentage of guaranteed amount for all defense applications: 'Group is 8%, Kunlun Group is 7%, Wenke Special Group and Leidun Group are 6%, and Alps Comprehensive Defense Company is 5%."

  Colonel Burton's booming voice echoed through the hall, "The remaining 68% of market share will be divided into 68 groups. Whoever wins in each group will get an additional 1% share. The company with the highest winning rate will have the privilege of choosing tasks from the remaining shares." Chuck Monkey Earl chuckled and said, "This year's market share allocation meeting is quite exciting! Which company has the lowest winning rate? All their high-level leaders will have to run around Easter Island a few times with corn on the cob stuck between their buttocks!" Mr. Evil Dragon's proposal was met with enthusiasm from the crowd. Chuck Monkey Earl's face turned slightly red, as if he had drunk too much wine.

  He slapped the documents in front of him and said in a low voice, "I heard that there's also a direct confrontation match between the war ministers of various major companies?"

  Hans Sloan burst out laughing: "This is just an entertaining program, and has nothing to do with the allocation of market share. The competition between the defense ministers of our major companies is just a small gamble among friends, for fun. At the last exchange conference, Lin Kefeng from the Kunlun Group alone took home 50 billion in gambling money and 2 billion shares of stock from two medium-sized mining companies."

  Pratyeka, Mohe took a deep breath, this battle department head's confrontation match, turned out to be such a large number of fierce boars!

  He smiled coldly with an unmoving face and said indifferently: "Such a small amount, it's not interesting to gamble!"

  Boruo and Moke brothers' faces suddenly turned red, Gu Xiechen's words hit their hearts. The current Hadd company is no longer the mercenary group that struggled to make a living in the past. The gains on Tianlang Star are enough to make Hadd company one of the top 200 companies in the Federation.

  If the exploitation rights of Tianlangxing are added, Hadpai Company's strength is enough to rank among the top 20 giant companies in the Federation. What does a mere 10 billion bet count for?

  "What's the point of having a system if it's just numbers? It doesn't make sense."

  Chuck Yeager and Kim Jong-il's eyes lit up at the same time.

  Gu Xie dust big sloppy put two legs on the conference table, completely disregarding this indecent behavior made Jinbo Lai and others' faces twitch.

  He puffed out a mouthful of thick smoke, flicked the ash off his cigar onto the spotless floor of the conference room, and Gu Xie dust smiled coldly: "However, before discussing the stakes, we need to discuss our Hadley Company's guaranteed share at the exchange meeting. To give E Group some face, our Hadley Company only needs a 7% guaranteed share, then our six companies will compete for the remaining 61% market share. What do you think?"

  The conference room fell silent again, and after a long time, Colonel Hans sneered and laughed. He laughed with his head thrown back, and the muscles on his lean body bulged like steel wires, making his face look ferocious. Colonel Hans looked at Gu Xiechen with ridicule and coldly said: "Your Hades company only luckily got the Heaven Star project, and luckily got the approval of the Federal Defense Company. What strength do you have? What foundation do you have to get a guaranteed share of 7%?"

  Jin Bolai, Burton, and Chadam couldn't help but sneer at Gu Xiechen. The guaranteed percentage share of the Five-Year Exchange Conference was a reasonable proportion determined by the comprehensive strength of the company after nearly a hundred years of competition and infighting among the five major defense companies. The Hade Company had just been established for less than three months, yet it wanted to obtain the same guaranteed share as the Kunlun Company, which wasn't even laughable.

  Jin Bolai looked at Gu Xiechen indifferently and said in a low voice, "According to our previous agreement, the guaranteed market share for Haidao Company is 1%..."

  "This represents the respect of our five major defense companies for federal law. After all, you have obtained the official approval of the defense company, so this is also a gift from our five major companies to those behind-the-scenes shareholders of Hardtke Company."

  Gu Xie Jian looked at Jin Bo Lai, and Jin Bo Lai also looked at Gu Xie Chen.

  Originally, you thought that we could get the approval of the defense company because of our backing... Those so-called behind-the-scenes shareholders. Hu Ge shook his head. Hadley Company really didn't have any so-called behind-the-scenes shareholders, if they had to count, Xi Di should be the largest behind-the-scenes shareholder of Hadley Company, but would he care about the worldly wealth and interests? What does a old corpse like him need money for?

  To say, the Corpse Emperor should be considered one of the least harmful members of the Asian Taoist Evil Cult. This old corpse probably forgot even the most basic functions of a man, he really reached the highest state of Zen, with a heart as still as dead water, without desires or pursuits!

  "1% market share, this is the greatest concession we can make."

  "Or," Colonel Burton said grimly, "Hart's company can choose not to join our five major defense companies' business alliance. You can use your own influence to pull projects."

  New forces are always being struck down...
