Moreover, he felt he should think carefully about what Nan Haochen had just said, and he felt he shouldn't get too involved with the Ye family.

Whether it's Old Master Ye or the rest of the Ye family, they all certainly have their own interests to consider.

Moreover, they have been merchants for generations on Rose Star. Such merchant families always consider profit in everything they do.

Under these circumstances, it's really not a good thing that Old Master Ye is getting so close to them.

They possess a wealth of unknown resources, which is exactly what Old Master Ye is after. If Zhan Siyu can generate profits for them, then of course he will treat them with utmost kindness.

But how much benefit are they willing to give up?

Several people arrived at the conference room. Ouyang Qian had already given everyone a cup of tea and a cup of water. Nan Xiangwan wanted to drink jasmine tea, so she poured a cup for everyone.

“This is some jasmine tea that I’ve been saving for a while, please don’t be put off!” Ouyang Qian said.

Nangong Chen and Zhan Siyu were both pleasantly surprised. He had thought that only Nan Xiangwan had jasmine tea, but he didn't expect that everyone would have a cup.

"We can actually drink it too? This is such a pleasant surprise!" Nangong Chen said.

Zhan Siyu nodded and said, "Yes, this is such a pleasant surprise! I thought we would only have jasmine tea at night!"

It's no wonder they were so surprised and astonished. After all, even after experiencing the apocalypse and settling down on Rose Star, their resources are still very scarce.

Although the inventory in the space is still considerable, everything is still an unknown possibility until their planting project is successfully researched.

They now have to save as much as possible, otherwise no matter how much food they have, it will all collapse.

“It’s okay, I remember there’s still a big bag of jasmine tea leaves, so if you like it, just ask me for some!” Nan Xiangwan said.

They exchanged a few more jokes before officially beginning to discuss the contents of the meeting.

After everyone drank a cup of jasmine tea, they felt much more energetic and were able to fully immerse themselves in the discussion.

"Anyway, I still hold the same view: apart from the Ye family, other families are also untrustworthy!"

"Sis, whatever you do, don't take the collaboration with them too seriously, and don't invest too much!" Nan Haochen said.

This was actually his consistent view. He never thought that Old Master Ye was a good person. Although he had been kind to them, no one could predict what would happen in the future.

Zhan Siyu did not express his opinion, after all, at this time, Nangong Chen also held an opposing opinion.

"What's your opinion?" Zhan Siyu asked, looking at Nangong Chen.

Since Nangong Chen had already been called out, he raised his head and ended his long period of contemplation.

In fact, Nan Haochen had already said most of what he wanted to say. Their thoughts were almost identical, except for a few points that differed.

“Miss Nan, I think we can maintain cooperation with the Ye family, but we absolutely cannot accept too many favors from them. There must be a limit!”

"We should accept as much favor as we can offer the Ye family in the future; that's the right thing to do!"

Nangong Chen offered a more plausible explanation.

Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu both nodded silently; they had the same idea.

Nan Haochen also thought it over and realized that his idea was too extreme. Indeed, thinking in the same way as Nangong Chen could solve many problems.

“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that before?” Nan Haochen said.

"Your ideas have always been extreme!" Zhan Siyu shook his head.

Nan Haochen was a little unconvinced this time. He had actually given a lot of useful advice, so why was he still seen as that immature and cowardly brat in Zhan Siyu's eyes?

"Brother-in-law, I'm about to become a father, why do you still treat me like such a child?" Nan Haochen said, a little unconvinced.

Nan Xiangwan, who was standing nearby, saw the two of them arguing and chuckled to herself.

“Your brother-in-law is right. Your thinking is still so extreme. Sometimes you just act according to your emotions and don’t understand what rationality is at all!”

"I don't even want to tell you to learn from your brother-in-law anymore, you can just learn from Nangong Chen!"

"Nangong, you should mentor this kid more often!"

Nan Xiangwan let out a breath. He had always felt that Nan Haochen was indeed not capable of taking on more responsibility and still needed to grow.

Especially during the discussion of this issue, Nan Haochen appeared even more naive.

He wanted to completely avoid cooperation with the Ye family, but that was impossible, since they were currently isolated and helpless on Rose Star.

If you treat all families as your enemies, you will inevitably be isolated.

At that time, all the people of Blue Planet will not benefit from it. Instead, they will be locked out by technology. Then, the major families will unite to squeeze out their value, and the people of Blue Planet will gradually perish.

They might as well take advantage of the current conflicts between the major families and use those conflicts to establish themselves on this planet.

“We can’t avoid cooperating with this powerful family, and we should take advantage of the conflicts between them!” Nan Xiangwan said.

This was almost the main issue he wanted to discuss today: how to use the family conflicts to protect them? This was a question that required wisdom to consider.

Zhan Siyu smiled and said, "That's spot on!"

"Whether it's a food street project or a community project, we need the support and protection of a large family!"

"If we continue to refuse to cooperate with the powerful families, they will only unite against external threats, putting us in a very passive position!"

"It would be better to take advantage of their conflicts. We don't mean to defeat them one by one, but we just hope to get some protection so that we can take root on this planet!"

Nangong Chen agreed with what Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu had discussed, so he nodded in agreement.

Nan Haochen was speechless this time. He now realized how foolish his words had been.

If we directly refuse to cooperate with the Ye family and do not show any friendliness to Old Master Ye, he might then join forces with the family behind Fu Tingshen to take away all the technology and expertise in the hands of the Water Blue Star people.

Then let everyone on the Blue Planet fend for themselves, and then they'll really be finished.

Their spaceship has not been repaired yet. Even if it is repaired, their technology is far behind that of Rose Star, so they have no way to escape.

At that point, they will likely be at the mercy of others!
