The Strongest War God Chapter 257 – 257 Tempting Conditions

257 Tempting Conditions

Hugo Skeeter went straight to the point and quickly cut into the conversation, directly exposing the Hugo Corporation’s goal.

Louis Neal and Liam Neal had already guessed their intentions.

“You’re talking about the anti-gravity device, right?” Liam nodded and admitted.

“That’s right. I’m here this time to discuss the cooperation between the two parties. I want to ask if the Neal Corporation has any plans to sell this technology.”

Hugo picked up a white handkerchief and wiped the corner of his lips slightly. His actions were elegant.

It really displayed the truth of his words: wealthy families did not have mediocre people!

For example, how many good-for-nothings were there in the lineal descendants of the seven great families of Preston?

Harold Sage of the Sage family was a famous young talent in Preston. He was in charge of the Sage Corporation and was developing rapidly.

Freddie Yackley of the Yackley family, Joseph Thomas of the Thomas Family, Braydon Neal of the Neal family, and so on.

None of the direct descendants were trash.

Wealthy families had a deep foundation. After the direct descendants were born, they would enjoy the best education possible and be nurtured into adults.

Of course, wealthy families also had rich playboys.

The key was that the formation of a profligate son had something to do with the elders behind the wealthy families.

If the elders of the wealthy families used the same method of nurturing their eldest sons on their second sons, they would be able to grow up to be extraordinary people.

In a wealthy family, both the eldest and youngest young masters were astonishingly capable.

It would definitely be a situation where two tigers fought.

They were determined to fight for the right to inherit the family!

Therefore, some wealthy families put an end to this situation in advance and focused on nurturing the eldest son. As for the second and third sons, they were not raised the same way and could do whatever they wanted.

Without strict restrictions and relying on the wealth and connections of the wealthy, they would grow up to be good-for-nothings.

The hedonistic son of a rich family posed no threat to the eldest son. He only needed to give him a few dollars every month to send him off.

The wealthy families had been passed down from generation to generation, and their foresight was far-reaching!

Right now, this eldest young master, Hugo Skeeter, was backed by a wealthy family.

Hugo Corporation had been listed in 2002 as one of the earliest pioneers in the freighter industry in the country.

Hugo Corporation’s market value exceeded 100 billion. The group had sufficient cash flow and was developing healthily.

The anti-gravity technology was announced in Preston.

The people of Hugo Corporation were keenly aware of the business opportunities and the importance of this technology to them.

The Hugo Corporation’s main business was freighting!

Sailing in the ocean was connected to international trade, and business was all international.

Under the Hugo Corporation, an ocean-going freighter could easily carry tens of thousands of tons.

Some cargo ships could carry up to 300,000 tons!

The bulk carriers were generally 70,000 to 80,000 tons, and there were even some that weighed more than 100,000 tons. In recent years, there were even some that weighed more than 200,000 tons. The same could not be said for the oil tankers. There was no shortage of tankers that weighed from tens of thousands to 300,000 tons.

Such a terrifying cargo capacity. As the cargo travelled on sea, it was common for it to take three to five months.

How important was the anti-gravity device to them?

Let’s put it this way. The anti-gravity devices installed on both sides of the freighter could reduce the weight of the cargo. The freighter that originally carried a load of 100,000 tons could use anti-gravity device to offset a portion of the weight of the cargo. As long as the cargo could accommodate them, they could accommodate an additional 50,000 tons of weight.

The fuel cost of cargo ships had always been the biggest headache for shipping companies.

If dozens of anti-gravity devices were installed, a fully loaded cargo ship would be able to sail like an empty ship, and the fuel consumption would be reduced by several times!

This was an important reason why the Hugo Corporation had sent people over to discuss this matter!

Moreover, if the ships hit reefs and cause the ships to tilt, as long as they turned off the anti-gravity device on one side of the ship and turned on the anti-gravity device on the other side, they would be able to escape.

It could help the freighter offset the accident of overturning!

The Hugo Corporation could not let go of such a series of benefits.

Hugo opened his mouth, wanting to buy this technology.

“I knew you would say that,” Liam said with a smile. “That’s why I asked Braydon to come over. He’s the owner of this technology!”

“What?”

Hugo was shocked.

He felt that Braydon was not a simple person. He looked calm and composed, wearing white clothes, giving off a sense of ease, but he gave off a lot of pressure to those sitting next to him.

“The anti-gravity technology is controlled by the military,” Braydon said softly. “If it wasn’t for the fact that it’s beneficial to civil and commercial use, I wouldn’t have agreed to release this technology. It’ll be at least 20 years before it’s made public!”

This was something that every country would do.

Being twenty years ahead of the rest of the world meant that the technology that was announced would be outdated, and they could also earn a lot of money from it.

Hugo was a little surprised. He did not expect the eldest son of the Neal family to be related to the military.

He had really underestimated him earlier!

If that was the case, there was no need for Hugo Corporation to bid. It was impossible to even license this technology, let alone buy it.

This was a red line that the Hugo Corporation could not touch.

Hugo remained calm and continued to test the Neal family’s bottom line. He said, “The Hugo Corporation can invest in the production of anti-gravity devices, and your Neal Corporation can provide the technology. We’ll split the profits equally. How about that?”

“The Neal Corporation already has a partner, Starbright Manufacturing.”

Liam reminded apologetically.

The Neal Corporation had already reached a partnership with Starbright Manufacturing.

No matter what, he could not abandon them and work with Hugo Corporation.

In the research and development of the anti-gravity device, Starbright Manufacturing had previously given their full cooperation. The technical experts, equipment, and the entire factory acted as logistics to provide all the accessories for the laboratory.

Now that the technology was mature, if the Neal Corporation held onto the technology and abandoned the manufacturing side, that would be too unethical.

Of course, Hugo knew that the Neal Corporation and Starbright Manufacturing had already reached a strategic cooperation.

Once the anti-gravity device was invented, the Hugo Corporation was bound to buy an anti-gravity device at a high price and install it on their freighter.

The price would be under the complete control of Starbright Manufacturing. As buyers, they had no say in the matter.

This was the terrifying aspect of monopoly.

The supplier had a monopoly position and could adjust the market price at any time.

Hugo said decisively, “If we reach an agreement, the previous conditions remain unchanged. The two parties will split the profits 30-70. The Hugo Corporation will take 30%, and 70% of the profits will go to the Neal Corporation!”

As soon as he said this.

The four middle-aged men were shocked. “Young Master…”

“Shut up!” Hugo had the courage to shut them up.

To be honest, Louis and Liam were tempted.

The Neal Corporation only needed to provide the technology, build the factory, purchase the equipment, and so on. There was no need to worry at all. It was a business that did not require capital at all. When the time came, they would get 70% of the profits.

This was too tempting!

Moreover, it was almost foreseeable that they would not have to worry about selling the anti-gravity device.

Hugo’s conditions made Louis and Louis fall into silence.

“Hugo Corporation can guarantee that the anti-gravity device produced by the two companies will only be used in the shipping industry and installed on cargo ships!” Hugo continued.
