Chapter 86 Cooperation
Tie Hui and Ruldia's group left the most bustling trading district and headed towards the distant administrative district.
Before long, they stopped in front of the tallest and most luxurious building.
"Our counterparty this time is the governor of this sector. He has inspected our goods and is very satisfied with them..." After Ruldia handed over his identification information, the guards let only two people in.
Throughout the journey, Ruldia explained the various aspects of this cooperation.
"This is the frontier region, where Xenomorph Chaos occurs almost daily. In fact, it's fair to say that every second, hundreds or even thousands of Imperial mortals die because of Xenomorphs or Chaos. The Astartes are limited in number, and most of the fighting relies on the Astral Army or even planetary PDFs. These ordinary mortal troops are adequate against Xenomorphs, but against Chaos... no matter how many there are, it's certain death. And victory isn't guaranteed. So, after seeing our items, the Governor decided to purchase a batch to test them out."
Tie Hui nodded; he had anticipated this situation. Therefore, he didn't ask further questions, but instead inquired about another matter he had previously arranged.
Have other trading partners been found?
Ruldia nodded: "Rest assured, Your Excellency. We have submitted samples to several high-ranking officers of the Astronautical Army, as well as some chapter mortal officers."
After completing our discussions with the governor, we can immediately begin negotiating cooperation with them.
Upon hearing this, Tie Hui breathed a sigh of relief; the power of Emperor Biscuits was indeed guaranteed.
Those mortal troops who are easily swayed by the Chaos army can hold out longer once they consume this stuff.
What if we held out for just one more minute, and Astartes came to our aid just in time?
Allowing this cookie to be widely distributed throughout the Empire indirectly relieved the pressure on the Astartes Chapter.
As for why they had to go to another star sector to make the trade, it was because Tie Hui's own family had become like this.
With such powerful backing, the governor of their own star sector would undoubtedly be the first to know about their family's post-war situation.
If I were to try to trade with him using these cookies, wouldn't he immediately accuse me of colluding with Chaos, execute me on the spot, and seize the production data and blueprints for Emperor Cookies?
Even though he cooperated with the Black Temple, the State Church, and the Mechanicus, they dared not make a big move against him because of these forces.
But they might also pull some tricks in contracts and subsequent collaborations, and then kick themselves out of the game. If that happens, things will get interesting.
Therefore, the first target for these sales must be other star sectors, as the saying goes, "the mountains are high and the emperor is far away."
Even if the trading partner has designs on him, they wouldn't dare to touch him, since the other party doesn't know his background and he comes from another star sector.
He was accompanied by a cardinal, and by all accounts, he looked like someone not to be trifled with.
The cardinal is currently lobbying his own sector governor, and all that's left is to wait for news of his completed transaction in this sector to get back.
Then, the governor of his own star sector wouldn't dare to go too far with himself.
After all, if you really go too far, I can just switch jobs.
Once his reputation is established, he can easily get offers of service from a whole host of sector governors, and even the high lords of Terra.
The current dilemma is whether he should establish the reputation of Emperor Cookies first, or whether he should release specific information about his family first.
Entering the office building, I went to the top floor and pushed open the magnificent wooden door.
The interior is decorated in a luxurious European style, but strangely, the room doesn't seem to be an office; it looks more like a meeting room for guests.
Inside the room, on a genuine leather sofa, sat a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious yet understated attire, reading something on a tablet.
"Sicatod!" Ruldia introduced the man who had stood up as he entered, saying to Tie Hui, "This is the secretary to the governor, the one we're negotiating with today."
Upon hearing this identity, Tie Hui stepped forward with a broad smile and bowed to Xikatod.
From the time he traveled to Warhammer, or even in his entire memory, he had never seen the Sector Governor or anyone around him.
After all, for their family, such people were already considered important figures, and it was usually their fathers who personally took charge of them.
It's not their turn to do it yet.
Because you're not qualified!
Sikkatod put the tablet aside, looking at Tie Hui's youthful appearance with some surprise.
"Truly a promising young man. Bishop Roldia has told me about you. Congratulations on becoming the lord of your family!"
Tie Hui responded with a smile, and then added, "Thank you for your praise. It seems our cooperation will be long-lasting and prosperous."
Sikkatod smiled and nodded, but a glint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
He had already reported the matter of the Emperor Cookies to the Governor, and the Governor had even tasted them himself.
He was specifically instructed to make sure the matter was handled well.
But the premise is...
This family and the power behind them are truly on equal footing with them.
If not...
They've taken it down directly. The governor has already sent people to the world of Volda to investigate the details of this merchant ronin family.
Although this family had traded in their star sector before and there were records of their information and data, that was all in the past, and they didn't care.
But things are different now!
So he originally planned to take the opportunity to stall for time and wait for the information to come back before making a decision.
Who would have thought that this guy would actually make connections with other star sectors and some Astartes chapters, and quite a few of them at that?
If I don't sign the contract soon, the officers of the Star Force and the Astartes will probably buy it all up as soon as they've tasted the samples.
What a shrewd young man.
Tie Hui felt a little annoyed by the guy's arrogant and condescending demeanor.
But circumstances forced us to yield.
"Lord Sicatod, this is the contract for this transaction. Please take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be added?" Tie Hui handed over the parchment scroll, and Sicatod looked at the various contract terms and was satisfied.
But he still wanted to gain more benefits from it, not only for the governor, but also for himself.
"I think the Governor-General can't possibly consume the quantity of goods you brought this time. I wonder who you plan to use to dump these goods on the market?" After glancing at the important clauses in the contract, Sicatod rolled it up and put it aside, instead asking a question that concerned his own interests.
