Chapter 102 Free things are often the most expensive!
Li Ang: "Hmm? Tell me about it."

"Orbital Aviation agreed that each company would contribute half of the capital to build the airport, but when it came to aviation technology, they wanted Ye's Company to pay extra money to buy patented technology."

"After all, engineers from both companies need to cooperate, and it is difficult to guarantee that the core technical information will not be known by the other party, so Orbital Aviation simply plans to sell the technology to Ye's Company."

"But the total amount of money is almost enough for Ye's Company to build another airport, so the two companies have not been able to reach an agreement."

Lucius was really open-hearted to Le Ang, and even told him the truth about the unfinished airport project, which was unknown to outsiders, without reservation.

"Mr. Li Ang, if LA Company takes over the airport, you will still have to spend a lot of money to buy various technical patents from Orbital Aviation. This is really not worth it!"

All crows are black, and no company is a charity that does not seek fame and fortune. The unfinished project of the airport is essentially the result of a fight between two companies.

The European Space Agency originally planned to make more money from Ye's Company, but they did not expect Ye's Company to simply overturn the table. Since it is difficult to do, then let's just give up!
"Mr. Mayor, thank you for your reminder, but I will still rebuild the airport. Even Arasaka is building a mass projector on the moon and preparing to make space-based weapons for fun. Of course, my LA company must keep up with the trend."

Li Ang smiled calmly. He certainly knew why Orbital Aviation sold the rights of the airport to him at a low price. Wasn't it just to get LA company to buy their expensive after-sales service?

Free things are often the most expensive.

The construction of rocket launch sites and aircraft bases requires professional aviation engineers as guidance everywhere. A company that does not possess core aviation technology simply cannot complete an airport project independently.

Therefore, Orbital Airlines is very confident that the LA company that bought the airport will definitely beg them to build the airport in the end.

At that time, they will be able to legitimately extort a large sum of money from the LA company, and in the subsequent various additional services, the ESA will also be able to slowly drain Le Ang's wallet.

Orbital Aerospace has its plans in place, but who says they are the only ones who know how to build an airport? In fact, there is another force that also knows how to build one, and can even build it better than the ESA!
"Mr. Li Ang, I don't understand why you are so eager to give money to those greedy Europeans at ESA. In the field of aviation, they can rip you off as much as they want."

Mayor Lucius remained a good man and gave Leon earnest advice.

He knew everything that LA Company had done in the Watson District. It was for this reason that Lucius really regarded Leon as his friend, and the emotion between them was not just mixed with interests.

"Mr. Mayor, I actually never planned to find engineers from Orbital Aviation to help build the airport."

Hearing Lucius's slightly anxious voice, Leon was quite satisfied with his partner's reaction. At least the other party was really thinking about him.

"Don't be ridiculous. Apart from Orbital Aerospace, which other company would build a rocket launch site? If you try to take advantage of a small opportunity, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the end."

Lucius spoke up.

"Have you ever heard of the Tall Knight, Mr. Mayor?"

As soon as Leon said this, Lucius's brain suddenly froze. He didn't expect that Leon would actually set his sights on this group of people!

Of course Lucius knew who the High Knight was.

Strictly speaking, the High Knights are not pure earthlings, they are "new humans" who have lived in outer space colonies since childhood. Their fathers are scientists in the field of aviation, and under the influence of their fathers, the High Knights have excellent IQs and strong learning abilities since birth.

These new humans have never seen the changing seasons on Earth, nor have they felt the breeze from the mountains and oceans, so their minds are all on space travel rather than living in a secluded corner of the Earth.

It is also because of this that the High Knight has almost maxed out his skills in technologies such as aviation aircraft, colonial base construction, and establishment of space stations.

"Mr. Mayor, do you doubt that a high knight who can build a mass projector can't build a small airport?"

Li Ang asked back with a chuckle.

The so-called mass projector was actually originally a rocket launch device used to build a lunar colony. Its original purpose was to realize the round-trip rocket transportation between the earth and the moon.

According to normal usage ideas, this thing will most likely be used for material transportation or lunar travel.

But one day, these white European masters suddenly discovered that this thing could be used to launch other things, so they tried to throw a small stone several hundred meters towards North America.

This was used as a warning to Militech and Arasaka Corporation to cease hostilities.

To put it simply, the mass projector can be regarded as a space-based weapon. If ESA is in a bad mood one day, it can even drop a meteorite several kilometers long to destroy a city!
Therefore, the mass projector is a strategic-level deterrent weapon for ESA. The deterrent power of this space-based weapon is far greater than conventional nuclear weapons!
This is the confidence of the European consortiums. With powerful weapons in hand, they really don't worry that any short-sighted company would dare to bully them.

Among the forces that control the mass projector, besides ESA's Orbital Aerospace Corporation, there is this special High Knights!

"My God... Mr. Leon, you always amaze me. I hope you can convince the High Knights. They are not as easy to deal with as the people on Earth."

Lucius had to admire Leon's ideas for breaking the impasse. He could always find other ways to solve the problem in the cracks.

Since we can’t find a suitable partner on Earth, we’ll look for one in outer space.

"Mr. Mayor, what you need to do now is to help me smooth over the relationship with Ye's Company and get the remaining rights and interests of the airport to me."

"As long as the transaction is within reasonable terms, money is not a problem. If Ye's company wants something else, you can also let their CEO talk to me."

Le Ang and Lucius talked for a long time just to gain all the rights and interests of the airport. He would never let any force take away the resources of the airport.

"Okay, don't worry, I will help you with this. Wait for my good news."

After the words fell, the two of them hung up the phone at the same time in tacit understanding. Le Ang was accustomed to asking Lucius for help, letting him use the power in his hands to help LA company obtain rights that other companies did not have.

Lucius was also accustomed to relying on the influence of LA Company to rise step by step. With such frequent exchanges of interests, the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper.
