From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 336 Give us the same meal
"You are indeed a very busy man. It is difficult to see you, Mr. Rebir."

In the reception room that was once used to receive Perseus, Her Highness Agnes's special envoy, Baron BASF, a chemical giant of the Star Dragon Empire, took a sip of tea, then looked at Amber meaningfully and added:
"Or should I call you Mr. Amber?"

First of all, he showed that he knew Amber's background and took the initiative in the conversation. This was the "conversation strategy" that Baron BASF had thought of in advance.

As a special envoy appointed by Her Highness Agnes herself, this Baron, whose family is close to the royal family, can be considered an absolute die-hard "Princess Party".

So he naturally obtained a lot of information about Atlas and Amber from Agnes, and a lot of the information was even passed on by the "secret agents" of the Princess Party planted in the Regent's camp.

Amber had no reaction and was not surprised when Baron BASF revealed her identity right away.

Because he knew that as time went by, and the Atlas Group and himself gradually came to the fore, his true identity would certainly be revealed.

I wonder how the Federation and the Empire would feel when they find out that a small chess piece in their hands has become what it is now.

As he thought about this, Amber looked at the pot of black tea on the table. If he was not mistaken, the 'cat maid' just now seemed to have brought it directly from the box where he and Perseus had breakfast.

I just added some hot water and a little new tea leaves on the way.
In the beginning, Atlas did not have sufficient funds, and Amber was not a very particular person, so they tried to save money wherever possible.

In addition, the main employees of Atlas are all Roma, a race with a tradition of "thrift and frugality".

Therefore, even though Atlas has been promoted from a company to a group and its internal operating funds have gradually increased, this frugal style has been retained.

Especially those 'financial experts' who were reformed in the 'Golden Eye' space prison. It is not known whether they were successfully reformed or received some kind of stimulation.

After coming to Atlas, I no longer pursue any personal material enjoyment. I just want to ensure the salary and benefits in the contract. I try to invest the rest of the funds into the development of the company.

This is why Atlas' operating costs have always been kept at a low level, and while promoting various technological research and development and large-scale construction, it can also spend a large amount of money to carry out the "gold offensive" in the Rubion galaxy.
"Mr. Amber?"

Seeing that Amber on the opposite side did not respond, Baron BASF frowned slightly and called out again.

He originally thought that after he revealed the other person's real name, the person in charge of Atlas would have a different reaction, but in the end, this guy was distracted.
This also means that this former deep-cover spy of the Imperial Naval Intelligence Department doesn't seem to care at all about his true identity being discovered.

"Ahem. Excuse me, Lord Viscount."

"My title is hereditary baron, thank you."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Lord Hereditary Baron."

Amber emphasized the pronunciation of the word "hereditary", which made BASF feel that she was being sarcastic.

The atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became a little awkward.

The special envoy of Her Highness Agnes never imagined that the negotiation with Amber would start like this, which made some of the plans and lines he had prepared in advance useless for a while.

Before he could think of what to say next to break the awkward atmosphere, he heard Amber continue:

"I hope you don't take it to heart. The entire group has been very busy recently. When another client from your country, Mr. Perseus, came over, I made him wait for more than ten days before meeting him. Now that I think about it, I still feel a little guilty."

"Wait? Who? Mr. Amber, you just talked about Perseus?!"

"Yes, it seems that the Baron also knows this gentleman?"

"More than just acquaintance." Baron BASF's facial expression was almost out of control, but he finally forced himself to keep a straight face.

Although the Princess Party had known before that the Regent had sent someone to contact Atlas, BASF did not expect that Norton II would directly send Perseus.

This guy and Astral, as the right-hand men of Regent Norton II, have always enjoyed the "reputation" of "Norton's two dogs" in the Princess Party camp, and have always been regarded as thorns in the eyes and flesh by everyone.

At the same time, the families behind Perseus and BASF have always been each other's biggest competitors. The business war between the two sides often turns into small-scale violent conflicts due to the relationship between the two "camps".

This is why Baron BASF was so shocked when he heard the name.

He even wondered if he and Perseus were destined to be rivals, otherwise why would he run into this guy everywhere?
And now, the head of the Atlas Group actually left the third-ranked figure of the Regent Party out in the cold for ten days?

BASF believed that Amber would not joke about such things unless he did not want to continue doing business with the other party.

Suddenly, he found that his unhappiness had disappeared after hearing the news.

Even the special envoy sent by Norton II was left alone for more than 10 days, and he found that his heart seemed to have become balanced.

After calming himself down, Baron BASF spoke again:

"It seems that the cooperation between His Excellency the Regent and your company is not just a rumor?"

"Hahaha, of course it's not a rumor, it's just that it's still in the process of being promoted, so it hasn't been made public." Amber looked at Baron BASF with a smile on her face.

Although the envoy of the Princess Party hid his expression very well, Amber could see that he had taken the bait.

"May I ask, what kind of cooperation is being developed between His Excellency the Regent and your company?"

Baron BASF had no idea that his true thoughts had been exposed, and was still asking cautiously.

"I have done some research on your company and found that your industry coverage is quite broad, including defense contracting, mining, equipment R&D and manufacturing, and shipbuilding."

"This is a trade secret, I can't disclose it."

"Mr. Amber, this is not very kind of you. You just said that you would make an announcement later, which means this is definitely not a secret cooperation. Why is it inconvenient to disclose it?"

There was a hint of complaint in BASF's tone, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Amber's answer.

"Hahaha" Amber smiled embarrassedly and did not continue speaking. Instead, she threw the improved price list of telecommunications services in the reception room.

Ten minutes later, Baron BASF, who had read the entire price list from beginning to end several times, began to breathe rapidly.

"Mr. Amber, is it true that the content of your communication service is not over-promoted?"

"No, the product is exactly as advertised. If you don't believe me, I can take you to experience it later."

"Okay, okay. Let me make it clear first. No matter what package Perseus and the others choose, we have to use the same one as them!"
