Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 54: Established a Significant Advantage

No wonder she reacted that way.

Normally, when people suddenly hear something like this, they would be dumbfounded, then laugh it off, thinking the person saying it must be joking.

Want to establish a company headquarters on an island?

Putting aside how bizarre the economic thinking would be to build a company on an island, can an ordinary person easily acquire an island?

This is not just about money!

Yes, there are indeed wealthy people abroad who buy islands, but what level of wealth are we talking about? Those who have reached such levels are already wealthy on a massive scale, counted among the top in the world! Buying an island wouldn’t be for something as bizarre as starting a company, but simply for personal enjoyment!

Especially, when Shen Shi said this, his tone was so nonchalant.

As if he wasn’t talking about buying an entire island, but just a loaf of bread called "Island" from the bakery downstairs.

What a boast!

Qin Lan’s delicate face twisted uncontrollably. She even looked at Ai Xin’Er the moment she came to her senses.

Sis, this boast is way too much! You should see through it by now!

However, although Ai Xin’Er still appeared calm, on closer inspection, one could see her hands slightly clenched, her neck flushed gently, her arms trembling slightly, with a hint of a dazed expression in her eyes.

She actually believed it!

Not only believed it, but looked quite admiring!

"Sister Xin’Er." Qin Lan couldn’t help but grab Ai Xin’Er’s arm, urgently and anxiously saying, "You can’t possibly believe this, right? How can you believe it? Are you poisoned? Why doesn’t he claim he is Emperor Qin Shi Huang reincarnated instead!"

A few years ago, there was a con artist who claimed to be Emperor Qin Shi Huang and cheated quite a bit of money, the implication in Qin Lan’s words was clear.

She simply didn’t believe what Shen Shi said.

Even Tao De and Liang Xin seemed like accomplices in a fraud to her.

In fact, this is also how an average person would typically react.

Even Ai Xin’Er actually found it all exceedingly unbelievable.

However, she had an inexplicable intuition that it might be true!

Perhaps this was because, over time, Shen Shi had brought her so much amazement.

From those luxury cars, those bodyguards and secretaries who clearly weren’t just hired, to one astonishing change after another in Shen Shi, which made her feel that this man, whom she already had some fondness for, turned into a mysterious treasure, as if everything impossible could happen with him!

Maybe she was indeed poisoned.

From the day this man appeared before her with unmatched brilliance and a stunning stance, like a miracle, it was already incurable.

The usual pride in her reason and intelligence completely melted away at this moment.

She couldn’t even clearly hear what Qin Lan was saying anymore.

She just kept gazing at Shen Shi.

To be honest.

Even Shen Shi hadn’t expected that Ai Xin’Er would believe so easily.

He had been prepared to offer some explanations.

So, at this moment, facing Ai Xin’Er’s gaze, he was also a bit surprised, even with mixed feelings, but it soon turned into a smile on his face.

"What I said is all true." He looked at Ai Xin’Er, still offering a brief explanation, "If I can’t get one in the Eastern Country, then I’ll go abroad, either buy or rent, I will have an island."

"I never said I didn’t believe you." Ai Xin’Er gave a reflexive smile, softly saying, "Because, if you wanted to deceive me for money or looks, it wouldn’t be this complicated."

"Sis!" Qin Lan was almost on the verge of tears.

Is this still her sister? The wise and elegant Sister Xin’Er she deeply admired and looked up to?

She was never this foolish, not even when almost got taken in during freshman year!

This exclamation was likely what brought Ai Xin’Er back to her senses, realizing what she had said, she still feigned composure, but the faint blush on her ears revealed the shyness she struggled to hide.

Tao De and Liang Xin exchanged a glance, elevating Ai Xin’Er’s importance yet again!

They were already certain that in Shen Shi’s heart, this person from his first love, indeed held a special status!

This is certainly good news!

Perhaps, they would also need to enhance Ai Xin’Er’s security.

But more importantly at this moment, was what Shen Shi had just said.

"Rest assured, Mr. Shen!" Tao De immediately said, "It’s just an island, not a problem at all! There’s no need to go abroad over such a minor issue."

Originally, private island development was allowed, and particularly in times like this, they wouldn’t foolishly give it up.

"That would be best." Shen Shi gave a slight smile, softly adding, "The Eastern Country is, after all, my homeland."

This sentence, of course, filled Tao De and Liang Xin with joy.

Although Shen Shi had implicitly expressed this attitude before, such a direct statement almost affirmed for them that the Eastern Country holds a unique standing in his heart!

If we can eventually fend off the alien threat, then this statement almost ensures a significant advantage for the Eastern Country in future internal competitions!

"Besides this, I need employees, elites, certain things must have a team to handle, everything must be arranged quickly, we need to make the best use of time." Shen Shi continued, "Also, I won’t refuse foreign elites, though I indeed lean towards you in my heart, given the current situation, we must avoid internal conflicts."

"Understood!" Tao De said in a deep voice.

The alien fleet threat remains the top priority, if we cannot withstand this catastrophe, no matter how many benefits Shen Shi might have, it would all be pointless.

Actually, Shen Shi’s one word of "lean" was already the result they hoped for.

Not to mention, Shen Shi was not only totally accepting, but actively inviting them to be deeply involved in the company’s, or say, the force’s construction.

This was already an immense gain! Far exceeding their expectations for this meeting!

"Then it’s settled, after you’re ready, bring people to find me." Shen Shi concluded.

"Alright, we won’t disturb your meal further, sir." Tao De and Liang Xin understood that everything that needed saying has been said.

Qin Lan, on the other hand, kept rolling her eyes ceaselessly.

Things just got more and more far-fetched, now there’s foreign elites, such drama queens!

Until Tao De and Liang Xin stood up, preparing to leave, Liang Xin suddenly turned, adjusted his glasses, and smilingly said to Qin Lan, "Ms. Qin, my name is Liang Xin, ’Liang’ as in ’Liang Country’, and ’Xin’ as in ’Faith’. He’s Tao De, remember our names, then check online, you’ll find we are not conmen."
