"Sister Zhou, are you really willing to invest in us? That's great!"
Looking at Zhou Zitong in front of him, Xiao Yun was overjoyed, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
He was about to give up, but suddenly a girl said she could invest in him. How could he not be overjoyed?
"That's right, brother Xiao Yun, I think you are a good-looking man with a bright future, so I want to invest in you.
Besides, sister, I am so poor now that I only have money left, so you know what I am doing. "
As he spoke, Zhou Zitong gave Xiao Yun a look that said, "You understand."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun immediately thought in his mind, "Sister Zhou, I understand, I understand everything, hehe."
Seeing this, Zhou Zitong couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It turned out that middle school boys were full of joy and the easiest to be deceived.
If it were someone else, wouldn't their first reaction be suspicion when faced with this sudden appearance of an investor?
After all, normal people won’t easily believe in something that comes as a gift.
Don’t you see Xiao Yu and Xiao Chen standing by, looking at Zhou Zitong with suspicion? This is the normal reaction of a normal person.
"Hey, um, Sister Zhou, can I ask about your background? And what kind of return do you want from your investment in us? And how much money can you offer?"
Looking at Zhou Zitong, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and asked.
Zhou Zitong looked at Xiao Yu in front of him and said with a smile: "There is nothing to hide about my origins. Since you want to know, I will tell you. It will also put your minds at ease.
I'm a collateral descendant of the Zhou family in the Yunxi star domain. My family has a little money. And it just so happens that the empire has opened up to the people to open up wasteland.
So I wanted to catch up with this trend, invest in a pioneering group, and make some money at the same time.”
"A descendant of the Zhou family in the Yunxi Star Region."
After hearing about Zhou Zitong's family, Xiao Yu couldn't help but nodded.
She had seen the Yunxi Star Domain Zhou family on the Star Network. Originally, the Yunxi Zhou family was just a branch of the Emperor Star ancestral family.
In recent decades, after talented people from the Yunxi Zhou family rose to power, they returned to their ancestral land of Dixing to trace their roots.
As a result, he received a large amount of resources from the Emperor Star ancestral family.
This allowed the Yunxi Zhou family to rise rapidly in just a few years and become a star family in the Yunxi star field.
The limelight is always there.
Speaking of which, their family was somewhat related to the Xiao family of the Imperial Star about a hundred or two hundred years ago.
But unfortunately, their family has long had no relationship with the Xiao family of Dixing, as there are too many generations between them.
Unless their family can achieve some results in the future, or a more powerful person appears to lead the family to take off, otherwise, there is no way they can return to the Imperial Star to trace their roots.
Looking at Zhou Zitong in front of him, Xiao Yu was a little surprised that Zhou Zitong chose them this time.
But when I think about it, it seems normal as a child of a big family.
Especially in the Yunxi star field where they are, the Zhou family members are really a bunch of big dogs.
Especially in recent years, the Yunxi Zhou family has received a large amount of resources from the ancestral land, resulting in many core descendants.
As long as they are not the descendants of the collateral family who are outside the fifth generation of mourning, they are all wealthy nouveau riche.
Moreover, some of these people have no business acumen and do not know how to run a business, so they often invest money recklessly.
Often do some nouveau riche behaviors that are beyond ordinary people's cognition.
However, for these people, it would be best to use the family allowance for a few months or a year to make some small investments and make some money.
It doesn't matter if they can't make money, because their main purpose is to just sit there and wait for death.
After thinking it through, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Since Sister Zhou has chosen to trust us for this investment, we will definitely not let Sister Zhou down.
I don’t know how Sister Zhou wants to distribute the proceeds from this land reclamation. I hope Sister Zhou can understand.
After all, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, so it is better to explain the issue of interests in advance."
"As for the distribution of benefits, I haven't thought about this beforehand. I wonder how you think it should be distributed?"
"How about fifty-fifty?"
"Is this okay? I just invested a little money, and it's not appropriate to give so much to it.
Let me make it clear in advance, I am not going to be in charge of anything. I am just a salted fish with a little money, so don’t even think about asking me to do anything.”
Seeing Zhou Zitong's "silly" and naive appearance, Xiao Yu and Xiao Chen couldn't help but look at each other.
Then Xiao Yu smiled and took Zhou Zitong's hand and said, "Sister Zhou, what are you talking about? We will never let you spend money and effort.
As for the 50-50 split, this is what Sister Zhou deserves. After all, without Sister Zhou, our makeshift team would really be disbanded."
Afterwards, Xiao Yu held Zhou Zitong's hand, and with Xiao Yu's eloquent mouth and Zhou Zitong's deliberate act of playing dumb, the relationship between the two soon became as good as that of real sisters.
Xiao Yun, who was not far away, looked at her cousin, and unexpectedly, in just a few words, she and Zhou Zitong became friends, just like real sisters.
This made him touch the back of his head in confusion.
The relationship between women is so strange. They become familiar with each other too quickly.
Xiao Chen, his younger brother, looked at his elder brother like this and shook his head helplessly.
His eldest brother can be said to be a lucky fool. Just when he was worrying about financial problems, a rich woman came to him automatically.
And she is a simple lady with a lot of money and little work to do, and a bit silly.
As time passed, with Zhou Zitong's funding and channels, several exploration ships were quickly customized from Xinghai Company.
Then he bought a lot of standard spacecraft to form a small exploration fleet.
In the starry sky, anchored in the harbor.
Xiao Yun and his companions looked at the fleet in front of them and couldn't help but touch here and there excitedly.
It is obvious that he loves these spaceships to the core.
"Sister Zitong, are these all our spaceships? I must be dreaming."
Hearing this, Zhou Zitong smiled and grabbed Xiao Yun's cheek, pinching it hard.
"It hurts!"
"Do you think you are still dreaming now?" Zhou Zitong couldn't help but teased with a smile as he looked at Xiao Yun who was jumping up and down with his hands covering his cheek.
"Hey, I'm not dreaming. This is all real."
Rubbing his aching cheek, Xiao Yun looked at the spaceship in front of him and could only smile foolishly.
Not far away, Xiao Yu and the other person came over excitedly, "Sister Zitong, these spaceships cost a lot of money, right?"
“It’s all small money. Among them, only one B3 mothership-class spacecraft and three A7-class frigates are more expensive.
Don’t look too much at the remaining spacecraft, but they are all cheap.
Moreover, I purchased these spacecraft through my family’s channels, so the cost was very low.”
Hearing this, the three of them nodded immediately, their hearts filled with envy.
Is this the disciple of a big family? He is indeed not comparable to people like them.
Xiao Yun was even more ambitious and determined to seize this opportunity to lead their branch to rise.
Then he returned to the Imperial Star to trace his roots.
The Yanhuang Empire has developed for so many years, and the Yanhuang people are spread all over the empire.
These people were originally branches split from the Imperial Star, like a towering tree with its roots spreading wildly outward.
Forming branches.
These branches, as numerous as stars, seem to have no connection with the Imperial Star, but they are closely connected.
Family and ancestral land are the unique mechanisms of the Yanhuang people. Returning to one's roots is the obsession of every Yanhuang person.
"Now that we have a fleet, the next step is to recruit soldiers, form a team, and then set out to the starry sea."
"Well, with these fleets, I wonder who dares to look down on us."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, go recruit people and get going!"
Seeing that Xiao Yun wanted to talk nonsense again, Xiao Yu hurriedly pulled him outside.
Looking at the three siblings playing and fighting, Zhou Zitong couldn't help but smile and shook her head. This journey would surely not be boring.
These three siblings are so active, and their relationship is so good that it’s enviable.
Then Zhou Zitong followed with a smile.
time flies.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, they finally completed recruiting soldiers.
Xiao Yun was seen wearing a dark gold captain's uniform, while Xiao Yu and Xiao Chen, as deputy captains, and adjutants were also dressed neatly.
Looks heroic.
The crew below, a total of 300 people, include an important communications department, a specialized combat department, and a spacecraft maintenance department.
The remaining people correspond to other important departments of the spacecraft.
Even though this team only has 300 people, the Star Sea Era does not require a large number of people like the previous Mother Planet Era.
In the Star Ocean Era, most of the time, intelligent computers are the main force, with real people as auxiliary.
In addition, they are just a small fleet, and these people, with the assistance of intelligent computers, are enough to support the basic framework of the spacecraft.
Facing the crew, Xiao Yun said a few simple words and then asked them to take their positions.
Then the three of them returned to the command room of the mothership.
Time passed, and soon, the three people who had been waiting for a while received a call from Zhou Zitong.
After the call was connected, Zhou Zitong's voice was heard: "Brother Xiao Yun, this time we are following the 127th Fleet of the Third Combined Fleet to the Tianyu Galaxy Cluster, which is million light years away from us.
I will send you the sailing route later. I have already reported our pioneering group number. When you arrive, just follow the instructions and dock there."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Got it, Sister Zitong, we'll set off now."
"Well, I'll wait for you here."
After hanging up the call, Xiao Yun immediately turned on the fleet communication, "All members, set off!"
"Copy that, Captain."
"Buzz!!"
As the spacecraft's engine started, a low humming sound was heard.
At the same time, the space port's intelligent computer began to plan a route to allow their fleet to leave the space port smoothly.
Following the route planned by the intelligent computer, they successfully left the spaceport and entered the starry sky.
Looking at the dark and deep sea of stars, Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel excited. He was finally about to set off.
He had waited too long for this moment.
He opened his arms, embraced the starry sky, and shouted loudly: "Starry sea, here we come!"
Xiao Yu and Xiao Chen, who were standing by, could not hide their excitement on their faces.
This is their own fleet. This has been their dream since childhood. Now they are only in their twenties and have realized it.
You know what, it seems a little unreal when you think about it.
At the beginning, the reason why they supported Xiao Yun in forming a fleet and heading into the starry sky to open up new land was that they thought that given their situation, this matter was simply unrealistic.
Just think of it as playing with their middle school cousin (big brother).
In addition, they also have the attitude of giving it a try. After all, they also want to pilot a spaceship and travel through the starry sea.
But I didn’t expect that it would actually succeed this time.
Looking at the starry sky outside, Xiao Yu felt a little ashamed when he saw his cousin shouting like a middle school student.
But you know what, it really feels good.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yu couldn't help biting her silver teeth, then she closed her eyes and shouted, "Starry sea, I, Xiao Yu, am here."
After shouting, Xiao Yu's face had turned red. It was really embarrassing.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Yun and Xiao Chen looking at her strangely.
This made her cheeks and ears turn red instantly, and her head was steaming.
Then Xiao Yu grabbed the ears of the two cousins with her jade hands and said viciously: "Forget the scene just now. Do you remember it?"
The two people who were pulled by their ears were speechless. Their cousin was really unreasonable.
It wasn't like they forced her to shout, but a good man doesn't fight with a woman, and the two of them have been used to being beaten by this cousin since they were young.
I knew that I absolutely couldn't resist at this moment, otherwise Xiao Yu would definitely get angry and hit me.
Thinking of this, the two of them quickly nodded obediently: "Sister Xiao Yu, we didn't hear or see anything just now."
Seeing how sincere the two were, Xiao Yu nodded, indicating that he believed what they said.
Then he let go of their ears and turned towards the bathroom without changing his expression.
After entering the bathroom, Xiao Yu's expression suddenly became tense.
He rubbed his hot cheeks vigorously, looked at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, you are so old, but you are still so immature.
It's so embarrassing, ahhhhh ~, it's so shameful.
How will my two younger brothers view me in the future? My image as a human being has collapsed.
Some people said before that chuunibyou is contagious, but I didn’t believe it. Now I find that it is indeed true.”
She washed her face with cold water. The cool water wet her cheeks and quickly cooled down her slightly hot cheeks.
She looked at herself in the mirror, and waited until the redness on her face faded before she walked out with a serious expression.
At this moment, she has returned to her original state as a sister.
Seeing Xiao Yu coming out of the bathroom, the Xiao Yun brothers couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu's cheeks, which had just recovered, suddenly turned red again.
"Ahem~, I didn't get enough rest yesterday, I'll take a break later, remember to call me when you get there."
As she spoke, Xiao Yu walked towards the lounge with her hands behind her back and a tense face.
After Xiao Yu completely disappeared, Xiao Yun and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter, and finally laughed so hard that tears came out.
"I didn't expect Sister Xiao Yu to have such a side to her. It's so funny. If Xiao Yanzi, Xun'er and Mei'er knew about this, would they be shocked?"
"No, I don't want to get beaten. If Sister Xiao Yu finds out, we'll be dead."
When Xiao Yun thought of Xiao Yu's angry look, he couldn't help but shudder and immediately gave up this suicidal idea.
After coughing twice, Xiao Yun stopped talking about this matter and turned his attention to the starry sky outside.
One hour later, T37 space-time jump point.
"We are about to reach the nearest space-time jump point. All crew members are ready to enter the star sea mode and start the jump." (End of this chapter)
