Ning Shi was not angry at Tong Baiming’s provocative words. He smiled and said, “I’m here on behalf of the Norse Republic Academy. In the name of the academy, I’m inviting Yuan City to cooperate.”

Thank you readers!

Tong Baiming’s eyes narrowed as he asked solemnly, “How can I trust you?”

“You don’t have to believe me right away,” Ning Shi said calmly. “The city construction I mentioned just now is just a goal and a promise. The initial cooperation has nothing to do with building a city.

“I’m here to talk to you now because I want to reach an initial agreement with you.

“In these two days, the principal of the Republic Academy, Liang Wenli, will retire. Three days later, the academy will hold a principal election, and the new principal will be one of us.

“After he takes office, the Norse Republic Academy will cooperate with Yuan City.”

Ning Shi picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. He continued, “The academy has taken a fancy to Yuan City’s mechanical limb modification technology and wants to promote this technology to the entire Norse Republic.”

When Ning Shi first came to Yuan City, he felt that their limb modification technology was unique and would definitely be popular among the mercenaries of the Norse Republic.

In the Republic, the number of mercenaries had reached 200 million. This group of people had extremely high spending power.

In the arms business of the military supplies department every year, the most profitable thing was the various weapons sold to the mercenary group.

After all, the weapons and equipment sold to the administrative department and the academy were all sold at internal prices, so there was not much profit. On the other hand, they did not dare to sell too much to the noble forces, or they would be suspected of aiding the enemy. On the other hand, many nobles had their own military industries, so their demand for military weapons was limited.

Therefore, the two most profitable businesses of the military supplies department every year were the mercenary group and the New Star City.

The mercenary group had stronger spending power, and the market potential was in the trillions.

As long as the academy could get a share of the mercenary group’s weapons market, not only could they be financially independent and self-sufficient, but they could also have a large surplus.

The key to breaking into the mercenary weapons market was Yuan City’s mechanical limb modification technology.

Compared to the helium weapons developed by the military supplies department, mechanical limb modification had a great advantage. Once the modification was successful, the weapon would become a part of the body.

It was more convenient to use and gave the mercenaries a greater sense of security.

Mercenaries did not have to worry about losing their weapons in the wild and becoming useless. Moreover, after the mechanical limbs were modified, the mercenaries could still use their original helium weapons.

The two did not conflict.

As for mechanical body modification, it would cause one to lose their original human body. This flaw was not a big problem for mercenaries who risked their lives.

Tong Baiming didn’t expect Ning Shi to be interested in mechanical limb modification technology. He asked, “How do we cooperate?”

Ning Shi already had a draft in his mind. He replied without hesitation, “Yuan City will provide the technical and early training and modification personnel, the academy will provide the channels and later personnel, and the mechanical limb modification shops will be opened in the mercenary markets of the major cities.

‘The academy and Yuan City will split of the net profits earned.

‘Yuan City must guarantee to bring out the most advanced mechanical limb modification technology, and the academy is also willing to sign a hundred-year agreement with Yuan City to ensure the long-term interests of

Yuan City.”

Tong Baiming fell silent when faced with Ning Shi’s details. He was weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

Ning Shi ignored his thoughts and continued, “The 90:10 ratio seems very unfair, but Yuan City has actually profited greatly.

‘Because you only need to provide the personnel and technology from the first few years. When the personnel from the later academies master the technology, Yuan City doesn’t have to do anything. You just have to sit and collect money. Moreover, you’ll be collecting money for a hundred years.

‘The academy gets 90% of the profits, and they still have to arrange various channels and relationships. In the end, not much will fall into their pockets.”

In Ning Shi’s plan, a portion of the academy’s profits would be used as public relations expenses, and this portion would all go into Ning Shi’s personal pocket.

Ning Shi was really short of money now.

‘Other than that, for Yuan City, the greatest benefit of cooperation is that it has established a beneficial relationship with the Norse Republic. Once this relationship deepens, it will be logical for you to obtain the recognition of the republic.

‘The matter of building a city was no longer a delusion.

“I just said that finding a relatively safe area to build a city for the immune people is my promise. This promise will always be valid.’

Ning Shi believed that Tong Baiming would agree because Yuan City already had the technology to modify mechanical limbs. If they didn’t cooperate with the academy, they wouldn’t be able to earn money from this technology.

Working with the academy only required the payment of technology and manpower. The cost and price were not high, but the benefits were endless.

As expected, Tong Baiming nodded and said, “I agree to cooperate with the academy and have no objections to the profit-sharing ratio.

‘The premise is that you have to ensure that your people can become the principal of the academy and completely control all the forces of the academy.”

Seeing Tong Baiming agree to cooperate, Ning Shi smiled and said, “In three days, Wei Yanping will become the new principal of the academy. His campaign slogan is to make the academy financially independent.

‘Mr. Tong, please pay attention to the news. Once my words come true in the news reports, please bring a technical team of at least a thousand people to visit the academy.

‘Principal Wei will personally receive you and sign a specific cooperation agreement with you.’

After saying that, Ning Shi stood up and left.

He still had to rush back to the school to control the 21 school committee members with the chip bomb. Time was tight, so he didn’t see Tong Qingqing again and only sent her a farewell message..
