Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 236 Funding Problems
Ke Lan spent half an hour brewing his emotions and preparing his speech, and then practiced several times with the expressionless Asano Akira before carefully dialing the exclusive number Zofia left for him.

"To be honest..." Seeing Ke Lan anxiously waiting for the call to be connected, the hound laughed narrowly, and whispered to Layton and the others beside him, "I always feel that this kid doesn't seem to be calling. Borrowing money over the phone is like confessing to a girl you've had a crush on for a long time."

"I think so too." Layton nodded in agreement.

The phone rang for more than ten seconds before it was connected. Zofia's lazy voice came from the receiver—she seemed to be taking a rest just now, but was woken up by Ke Lan's call.

"Ah... is it Miss Soma?" Ke Lan suddenly became nervous for no reason, and forgot most of the lines he just memorized.

"...This title is too old-fashioned!" The voice on the other end of the receiver suddenly became a little harsh, as if a teacher was teaching a student who didn't understand the rules.

"Uh, Zofia?" Ke Lan was taken aback for a moment, and changed her address.

"It's almost there."

"I need your help with something..."

"After such an attack, shouldn't you first ask me about my safety and well-being when you call me?"

"Ah this..."

"Forget it, I was just joking. I was surprised that you would take the initiative to call me. If you have anything to say, just talk about it." Zofia seemed to have switched to being the captain of the "Pioneer" again. In that state, Ke Lan even heard the sound of fingers tapping the keyboard quickly.

"My teammates and I plan to register a hunting group, but we don't have enough initial registration funds..."

Before Ke Lan finished speaking, Zofia interrupted: "You are planning to register a consortium-level hunting group, right? You need an initial registration capital of [-] million credits, but you don't have that much cash on hand, so you plan to Come to me to borrow money?"

"Uh, that's about it. Of course, it's not a free loan. We are willing to transfer [-]% of the newly registered hunting group's shares to you as interest on the loan... I think you should know our strength. We only need to explore a large-scale The vestige of interest, this interest can exceed most cycle financial products.”

"I know." Zofia said, "I'll transfer the money to your account later. I don't need any interest. It's up to you when you pay back the money, and it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back."

"No, no, no... I think you misunderstood what I mean," Ke Lan said quickly, "We want to establish an independent consortium-level hunting group on our own, instead of being attached to the name of the Soma Consortium..."

"It's you who misunderstood me." Zofia corrected, "The family is actually very dissatisfied with our marriage contract. They think that in your capacity, you are not worthy of me at all—but if you can If a consortium-level hunting group operates, I think the voice of opposition will be much smaller, and if possible, I even hope that you can directly develop a new financial group based on this hunting group."

Ke Lan: "...???"

"Of course I know the strength of your teammates. I also know that your ability is far more than that. As long as you have enough resources to support it, your achievements should not be limited to the scope of a top hunting group. I believe in my own vision." , can’t make a mistake.” Zofia continued.

"Are you complimenting me?" Ke Lan said dumbfoundedly, not so much as a compliment, but rather as a flattery.

If I really want to have this ability, then the big consortiums will have to suppress me to death... After all, no one would hope that a strong new force will emerge to take another piece of the cake that is not enough.

Just like those written in fantasy novels, "This child will become a serious problem in the future, and he must not stay"...

"I'm just describing my own judgment." Zofia said indifferently.

"...Actually, we didn't think too much about it. It would be nice to run the hunting group first. As for the money, I will return it to you immediately after the registration is completed."

……

The [-] million yuan is actually not a small amount for Zofia. Although the Soma consortium has a large family and business, most of its properties are fixed assets, stocks and bonds, and the actual proportion of liquid funds is not enough. to one-third of the total assets, and Zofia can call even less freely.

Regarding the details of the registration of the consortium-level hunting group, the two discussed in detail for more than ten minutes. In the end, Zofia only received one ten-thousandth of the shares of the new hunting group as interest. He made a request to Ke Lan: within three months after the registration is completed, the new hunting group must rank fifth in the ranking of all hunting groups.

The ranking of this hunting group has nothing to do with personnel, funds, and scale. The only reference data are the number of completed exploration tasks and the gold content. Before the hunting group was formally established, Ke Lan and the others completed the exploration in their own name or as a temporary team. Tasks are not counted at all.

A huge sum of 1 million credit points was transferred to Ke Lan's personal account within [-] minute after the call ended, and at this time, the hound and Ivan had completed the preparation of written materials for the registration of the hunting group.

Although the official registration needs to go to the office of the relevant department to complete, the previous data upload can be completed on the Internet, but at this moment, the hound and the others were stuck with a problem.

"By the way... our hunting group needs to have a name, but the question is... what name should it be?" "Hunting group name:" flashes in the space behind.

"How about calling it 'Glacier Hunting Group'? We all met at the glacier ruins, and the team started at that time. I think this name is very meaningful." Layton first suggested.

"What about your brain?" The hunting dog glanced at him disdainfully, "Such a common name has already been registered, okay... If it weren't for the hunting group not being able to duplicate the name, otherwise I guess there must be a lot of people with this name. "

"...The name has been pre-registered? Ah..." Layton wailed in frustration, "Then... how about 'Crash Hunting Group'?"

"Unlucky, you idiot." The hound was too lazy to look at Layton, and turned his attention to Ivan.

"Don't look at me, I'm a waste of names." Ivan waved his hand and said.
