Chapter 369 Cooperation and Exchange
On a clear morning, the sun shines on the crispy shell-covered beach. At this moment, Ye Li is alone, looking at the bottom and surface structure of the ship that is nearly fifty meters high and a hundred meters long in front of him. He nods with satisfaction and says:
"Not bad, not bad. It's only been three days and you've already accomplished this. Goro, you're quite good at managing a military camp."
"Mr. Ye Li, thank you for your compliment. If it weren't for your extremely sophisticated and detailed design, and your urging, it would have taken more than a year for more than 1000 people to create this large ship."
"Don't say that. This is due to your hard work day and night. I didn't expect you to work so hard. Your efficiency seems to be much better than I thought."
"After all, with this big boat, fishing and other things will be convenient. Mr. Ye Li, don't underestimate yourself. Our efforts are very important."
The two of them exchanged some business compliments, showing that their relationship was exceptionally harmonious. It wasn't as awkward and aggressive as it had been in the past few days, but instead more natural.
"But having said that, I am really flattered that the Lord of Coral Palace you mentioned would come to see me in person."
"Mr. Ye Li, there is something joking in what you said. Considering the professional scope of your design, it is enough for Inazuma's Tianling Bugyo to send someone over."
Wu Lang felt helpless about Ye Li's occasional words, but he still made a very polite explanation and also gave an apt analogy.
Ye Li did not comment too much on this, but just watched the prototype of the ship being completed quietly, nodded and said:
"Since you are so sure, Goro, then that is it."
Time passed quickly and it was noon in the blink of an eye. Ye Li had tried Inazuma dishes for several days. Overall, the taste was too bland, perhaps because most of it was because of the seafood.
Ye Li suddenly understood why his father didn’t like seafood very much, but it wasn’t as serious as his. He could only make himself some spicy grilled fish when he was bored to dispel the bland taste in his mouth.
After finishing lunch, Ye Li walked out of a separate tent given to him in the military camp. At the same time, Wu Lang had also received the news that Lord Coral Palace was about to arrive, and was quickly making preparations to welcome him.
Ye Li looked at the many rebels busy at work in the military camp, but did not go forward to help. He just walked out of the camp, lay on the high grass beside him, and quietly watched the busy work below.
Wu Lang did not blame Ye Li. This matter was an internal matter of their military camp. Lord Coral Palace wanted to see him, so he would naturally treat him as a guest. In addition, the ship design drawings and the trade route charts from Xumi that Ye Li gave him could be said to be a great favor. Apart from serious work, no one would disturb his leisurely days.
It can also be said that Ye Li gave too much. This was just a small help. The real equal exchange would have to wait for their Lord of Coral Palace to come.
A gentle breeze blew across the grass. Ye Li seemed to have closed his eyes to rest, but he was actually sensing the fluctuations in the earth's veins and exploring the internal structure of the entire island.
Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, two and a half hours had gone by and the sun had already set to most of its position in the west.
Finally, the carriage from the Coral Palace Grand Shrine, which was the power center of Kaiji Island, stopped in front of the military camp, and some of the deputy generals of the rebel army who were guarding it stood up straight as gun barrels, then bent down 45 degrees and said in a serious tone:
"Lord Coral Palace, we have arrived. General Wulang has been waiting outside for a long time."
"I see. Thank you all for your hard work."
At this time, the curtain of the carriage was drawn open, and the rebel driver had already gotten off the carriage. Coral Gong Xinhai, who was dressed as gorgeous as a mermaid, got off the carriage with an elegant and polite pace and walked into the military camp.
Looking at Wu Lang standing at the door, Coral Palace Xinhai smiled and nodded and said:
"Wulang, you've worked hard. Where's the guest from Liyue?"
"Master Coral Palace, don't worry. Mr. Ye Li is lying on the grass on the hillside. Do you need me to send someone to bring him over now?"
Goro looked respectfully and intently at the leader who could be said to have revitalized the entire resistance army. The respect in his tone could not be concealed, and at the same time, he felt a sense of relief.
"No need to bother you to call for help. I will go over and talk to him myself. During this time, no one of you is allowed to follow me. This is an order, and it is also the guarantee of our true cooperation."
At this moment, Coral Palace Xinhai's expression was serious, and what he said was very serious, which instantly made Wu Lang's tail stop wagging, and it suddenly lifted up as if its hair was exploded.
"But Lord Coral Palace, this is too hasty. Although I know that Mr. Ye Li is a kind person, this is too risky."
"Don't worry, Wu Lang. With your vision, you should be able to see the strength of Mr. Ye Li. Besides, I am also an original god. Although I am not good at fighting, I am not a threat to an ordinary person like him."
"But Lord Coral Palace, I still think this is very unsafe."
"General Wulang, I understand your concerns, but you also know our current situation. Mr. Yeli's willingness to cooperate and help has been factored into my plan."
Faced with the serious and resolute gaze of Coral Palace Xinhai, Goro, as his subordinate, gave up persuading him, and at the same time expressed sincere trust in Coral Palace's choice in his heart.
At this moment, Ye Li was basking in the sun with his eyes squinted. Wu Lang was also successfully persuaded by Xin Hai. In less than two minutes, the sound of footsteps was heard.
Ye Li opened one of his squinted eyes and looked at the beautiful figure walking down the grass slope. The mermaid-like outfit was extremely familiar, and coupled with the familiar hair color, he knew who was coming.
Ye Li sat up and subconsciously placed his hands on the box beside him. With a gentle smile on his face, he looked at Xin Hai who had come over with a warm and determined look in his eyes and said:
"I never thought that I, a mere guest of the Wangsheng Hall, would be able to have a leader like you come in person to discuss cooperation. I am truly blessed."
"Mr. Ye Li, you are joking. The sea charts and ship designs you provided are enough to take the development of Haizhi Island to a higher level. As a sign of respect for this cooperation, I came here in person to show my sincerity."
"Since you are here to discuss cooperation, then don't beat around the bush. Tell me your requirements and I will bargain with you appropriately."
"Mr. Ye Li is really interesting. Can you bargain for cooperation?"
Ye Li looked at the question raised by the girl in front of him and answered without hesitation:
"As long as it's something that can still be negotiated, even if it's clearly priced, it's like a scale that requires chips of equal value. If I have more chips than you, you have to pay a corresponding amount to outweigh me, or to break even."
"Thank you for your advice, sir. The principle of equivalent exchange is similar to alchemy. If you provide the sea charts and design drawings, I will provide you with a series of help. Tell me what you want."
Seeing Xin Hai give in so easily, Ye Li did not find it strange. Instead, he became a little interested in the other party's thinking. Was he trying to plot against him, or to include him in the plan and turn the uncontrollable into controllable?
Thinking of this, Ye Li did not expose the girl's thoughts, but simply output the request calmly:
“My request is very simple. The first is to allocate a certain amount of resources to help me build the first branch church on Haiqi Island. The second is to print paper and distribute insurance leaflets for the Wangsheng Hall for publicity.
The third is to send a few trusted people to take me to other islands and establish other branch bases. I believe Miss Coral Palace should understand my intention of doing so."
