Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 66 Talking about Cooperation

In the reception room of the lord's palace, Chen Xi and the two sages took their seats. Although the chair under Sage Tonya made a sound of being unable to bear the weight, fortunately it did not really collapse.

This in turn prompted Olivia to complain, "You should have an anti-gravity core installed on you, or your weight will eventually cause the chair to collapse when you sit down, and we'll have to make you a chair out of ceramite and adamantium.

Oh, no, you have so many implants now, your butt shouldn't exist anymore, right?"

Seeing Olivia so aggressive, Chen Xi spoke before Tonya could, "Olivia, could you please be less aggressive for a moment? I hope to have a good talk with Sage Tonya."

In response to Chen Xi's words, Olivia snorted, but turned her head to the side without saying anything more.

"Actually, I don't really mind it. She and I have known each other since we were little, and we're used to our quarrels." Tonya took the initiative to speak up for Olivia, explaining, "The relationship between her and me is more complicated than others imagine. Although we quarrel, it doesn't affect our good relationship."

"Who wants to be on good terms with you!" Olivia quickly retorted, but did not deny the relationship between her and Tonya.

Seeing this, Chen Xi didn't say anything more, but just shrugged helplessly.

Chen Xi did not intend to interfere in the relationship between Olivia and Tonya. How they wanted to get along was their own business.

In comparison, how to promote the cooperation between Rostov II and Mariupol Casting World is the focus that Chen Xi should pay attention to.

Although Chen Xi was thinking about hiring a new mechanical priest from Griffin IV, this was based on the premise that he had failed to reach a cooperation with the Mariupol Forge World.

If he could reach a cooperation with the Mariupol Forge World and obtain enough mechanical priests from there, then he would naturally not need to hire mechanical priests from Griffin IV.

Of course, now that the choice has been made, Chen Xi does not need to regret it.

Griffin IV will be destroyed by the Zerg in a dozen years, although the Mechanical Priests escaped from the planet with the precious STC when Griffin IV was destroyed and did not become food for the Tyranids.

However, the destruction of the planet still dealt a huge blow to the Griffin IV faction. It can almost be said that its influence, which could be compared with famous factions such as Huang Ba and Las, was completely eradicated.

Even if the Forge World could be rebuilt later, Griffin IV's influence would be difficult to restore.

This was certainly a huge loss and blow to Griffin IV, but for Chen Xi, who hired Griffin IV's mechanical priest, it was good news.

At the very least, this will greatly weaken the influence of this group of mechanical priests under Chen Xi's rule, turning them from a powerful faction in the Great Forge World into survivors of the massacre.

Even if Chen Xi is lucky enough, he can use this group of mechanical priests to rescue some of the survivors after the Griffin No. 4 was wiped out, which would be a huge profit.

However, this was just a thought for Chen Xi at the moment. After all, Griffin IV was still one of the Mechanicus's main forge worlds. Furthermore, to realize this idea, Chen Xi had to resolve any academic disputes between the two Mechanicus factions.

Especially now, the sage of the Mariupol Forge World has come to the door.

"Sage Tonya, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but since the Mariupol Forge World has not reached an agreement with my throne, why are you here?" Seeing that Tonya and Olivia had stopped arguing, Chen Xi looked at Tonya and took the initiative to ask her the purpose of her visit.

"I'm here mainly for two things, one official and one personal." Dong Niya nodded slightly to Chen Xi, then explained: "Put aside the personal matter for now, let's talk about the official business first!
Regarding the alien ruins, my teacher expressed his willingness to cooperate with Rostov II and Your Excellency the Governor, and is also willing to invest in your development plan for the entire sub-sector.

The main reason I came this time was to reach a cooperation agreement with Your Excellency the Governor on this matter."

Hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but look sideways. He looked at Dongnia and confirmed with her, "Sage Dongnia, are you serious? But when I sent Mai Lin to the Mariupol Forge World before, you showed no interest in cooperation!
I'm currently short of Mechanical Priests, and can only consider hiring from other Forge Worlds. Perhaps Griffin IV is a good option, what do you think?"

Chen Xi's words undoubtedly exceeded Dong Niya's original expectations. Her expression changed and she asked, "Have you reached a cooperation agreement with Griffin No. 4?"

This news made Tonya very regretful. Although this cooperation was not a big business in the eyes of her teacher, the casting director, it was still very valuable to her.

Before reaching a cooperation agreement with the Rogue Trader, Tonya didn't take it too seriously. After all, it was normal for such a large project to take several years to discuss in the empire.

But she didn't expect that just a few months later, the Governor of Rostov was already impatient and wanted to find other forging worlds to cooperate with.

This was something Tonya could not accept in any way.

If she really lost this business, she would probably cry to death, even though she had her tear glands removed a long time ago and now she couldn't cry at all.

"Not yet, but Mariupol Forge World is unwilling to cooperate, right?" Chen Xi looked at Tonya and couldn't help but smile. This was a buyer's market.

"I have convinced my teacher. Now I am in charge of this business. Mariupol is willing to cooperate with Rostov II." Tonya looked at Chen Xi and said this seriously.

However, Chen Xi just looked at Dongnia and didn't say anything.

Dong Niya knew that Chen Xi was waiting for her to name a price. Although she felt very reluctant, she sighed and said, "Regarding the employment of mechanical priests, I can provide you with a technical team at a friendly price. They are all apprentices and priests under Olivia.

Mariupol Forge World itself was already worried about what to do with them, so throwing them over to us now saves us a lot of trouble."

"This should be considered as solving your problem, right? Sage Tonya, how about we be frank and honest? Rostov II now needs to build an orbital ring to strengthen its planetary defenses. At the same time, in order to develop the sub-stellar region, we also need a small shipyard." Chen Xi took the opportunity to put forward his request and said to Tonya, "If we can reach a cooperation intention, then all of this can be left to you. So please show me your sincerity, your sincerity in cooperating, Sage Tonya."
