At this moment, Li Yaqi, in the next room, couldn't help but want to rush out.

But her mother pulled her back.

“Yaqi, your father said. No matter what happens outside, you are not to go out!” Her mother advised.

Li Yaqi clenched her fists, indignant.

“These good-for-nothings, when I was making money for them before, they all smiled at me, wishing I was their own daughter.

Now that something has happened, they all run out to criticize, wishing they could cut ties!”

Her mother sighed, “Isn’t that just how people are? When disaster strikes, everyone fends for themselves.”

“I... I just can’t stand it!” As Li Yaqi fumed, her handheld terminal on her wrist flashed with a notification.

Seeing the notification, she immediately excused herself from her mother and headed to the office in the inner room.

She entered a virtual network space.

“Lord Zhao Chen.” Li Yaqi looked at Zhao Chen before her, her gaze softening only at this moment.

This man before her was the only one now who was wholeheartedly thinking about how to save her Northern Goose.

Compared to her uncles, it was like night and day.

“How have you arranged the Starport workshop rental?” Zhao Chen asked.

Li Yaqi raised her hand and displayed an electronic spreadsheet, showing the coordinates of various Starport workshops.

“To date, we have rented two hundred coordinate workshops capable of producing T2-class Interstellar Warship, all contracts have been signed, with a lease term of half a year.

Furthermore, I can even send people to other surrounding star regions, such as the Chu River Star Region.

Within three days, I expect to secure the rental rights for up to five hundred T2 Starport workshops!

However, as for the deployment of technical personnel, the fast ones have already arrived, while the slower ones may still need a week.” Li Yaqi said.

More than five hundred.

It must be said that Li Yaqi’s efficiency was quite high.

She had even thought of the surrounding star regions herself.

The Chu River Star Region was indeed good, with a larger number of Starports there.

In fact, if Zhao Chen had appeared as the Chu family’s son-in-law, it might have been even more convenient.

But the relationship between Zhao Chen and Northern Goose was still a secret.

Unless absolutely necessary, Zhao Chen would not publicly reveal this interstellar trade force he was cultivating.

“You’ve done very well.” Zhao Chen raised his hand and directly transmitted an electronic document to Li Yaqi.

Li Yaqi received it and saw the name of the document.

T2 Iron Hammer-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ship.

“This is an extremely advanced T2 Interstellar Industrial Ship; compared to your Starship production lines and workshop factories, its production efficiency is faster and more convenient.

My plan is for your rented Starport workshops to go all out in producing this T2 Iron Hammer.

The completed T2 Iron Hammer will then travel back to your Northern Goose Group base to engage in the production of the T2 Mastiff.

I’ve calculated that, with sufficient raw materials, a Starport workshop can complete a T2 Iron Hammer in twenty days.

And one T2 Iron Hammer can build five T2 Mastiffs per month.

Thus, as long as you can complete the construction of three hundred to five hundred T2 Iron Hammers, then fulfilling the second batch of three thousand military purchase orders before the end of June will be absolutely no problem!”

Zhao Chen then finally confided his plan to Li Yaqi.

“A production of five ships per month!” Li Yaqi was greatly surprised, looking at the T2 Iron Hammer as if it were a treasure.

As far as she knew, no known active T2 Interstellar Industrial Ship had ever been so advanced.

Its value even surpassed that of the T2 Mastiff.

“You... you’re giving me this interstellar warship?” Li Yaqi looked at Zhao Chen in disbelief.

Zhao Chen nodded, “This is the only way to save your Northern Goose.”

Zhao Chen already had the T3 Furnace-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ship, and the value of the T2 Iron Hammer was already limited, so giving it to Li Yaqi could, on the contrary, squeeze out its remaining value.

Li Yaqi bit her lip lightly, and she murmured, “Lord Zhao Chen, your... your T2 Iron Hammer’s value even exceeds that of the T2 Mastiff.

For my... Northern Goose... there’s absolutely no need.

With your capabilities, you could completely rebuild an interstellar trade group.”

Li Yaqi looked at Zhao Chen, puzzled.

From a businessman’s perspective, Zhao Chen had undoubtedly made an enormous losing deal.

Zhao Chen smiled and said, “You’ve misunderstood two points.

Firstly: I’m not giving you this T2 Iron Hammer for free; there are conditions, and I’ll discuss those conditions with you later when we talk about another matter.

Secondly: Although I’m not very good at interstellar trade, I consider myself to understand the importance of talent.

Compared to Northern Goose, I actually believe in you!

I can establish several interstellar groups like Northern Goose anytime I want; but there is only one Li Yaqi.”

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

Li Yaqi felt her cheeks flush and burn, and she didn’t know why she suddenly felt a fluttering in her heart.

She didn’t even dare to look at Zhao Chen’s gaze now.

“You... you just said... what was the other matter?”

Zhao Chen looked at Li Yaqi, “I heard that many people in your Li family are criticizing you, right?”

Thinking of that mess, Li Yaqi felt her head ache again.

She said self-deprecatingly, “You must be laughing at me.”

“Actually, I think some matters are better handled with a swift decisive action.

Indecision only leads to trouble.

What I wanted to say just now is that I want to cooperate with you using my T2 Iron Hammer.

Remember, it’s with you and not your Li family.

This cooperation system can be another interstellar trade group, whether it’s Southern Goose, Big Goose, or Little Bird, or it can still be this Northern Goose.

But the profit distribution, of course, can no longer be seven-three, but will become nine-one.

I get nine, you get one; the T2 Iron Hammer is equivalent to my further investment.” After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he didn’t forget to add with a light chuckle, “This nine-one is nine-one of the net profit.”

Zhao Chen made Li Yaqi feel as if she had been enlightened.

She looked at Zhao Chen, thinking about his words.

“Perhaps you still have some reluctance towards your family; you might as well take this opportunity...” Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes, looking at Li Yaqi.

Li Yaqi understood Zhao Chen’s meaning, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily.

...

Ending her communication with Zhao Chen, Li Yaqi opened her eyes.

She walked out of her office and headed directly towards the conference room where the argument was still ongoing.

“Yaqi...” Her mother looked at Li Yaqi in surprise, but then she noticed that her daughter’s aura was completely different.

“Mother, Father is old. It’s impossible for him to shoulder everything.

Li Wei isn’t home either.

As a daughter, I naturally have to support this family.

Don’t worry, our Northern Goose will not fall, and our Li family... will be a brand new Li family.”

After Li Yaqi finished speaking, she directly pushed open the door and walked out.

Li Yaqi’s sudden appearance startled all the uncles in the conference room.

Li Yaqi even saw one of her younger uncles, who was currently scolding her father.

This made Li Yaqi even more resolute in her decision.

Without waiting for these uncles to speak, Li Yaqi said solemnly, “Since all of you uncles believe that everything is Yaqi’s fault.

Then good, Yaqi will not burden you uncles.

As long as you uncles are willing, we can split the family now.

I, Li Yaqi, will bear all matters of the Northern Goose Group alone, and cut ties with all of you uncles!”
