The eight major wealthy families in the Interstellar Federation are divided into four major and minor families. Among them, the Liu family, the Wang family, and the Davis family are minor wealthy families. The characteristics of these wealthy families are that they either lack foundation or have not been recognized by the Interstellar Federation for a long time.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the wealthy Su family. They have been recognized by the Interstellar Federation for less than a hundred years, but they have forced their way into the ranks of the old wealthy families and gained recognition from three of the old wealthy families.

The Zhao family is one of the old wealthy families, commonly known as a truly powerful family. Whether in terms of background or family power, it ranks among the top three among the four old wealthy families, not to mention the eight great wealthy families.

The Zhao family came to him at this time and was willing to agree to any conditions that were not too greedy. Lin Tao immediately sneered in his heart.

At this time, Zheng Xun brought a sofa chair: "Brother Lin, sit down."

He behaved extremely respectfully, as if Lin Tao was not only the master of the entire Mingyuan Star, but also the master of the entire Mingyuan Galaxy. This made Manager Zhao look a little ugly.

Lin Tao sat down. He raised his head and looked at Manager Zhao: "What's your name?"

Manager Zhao's eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a barely perceptible annoyance. However, he still patiently said, "Mr. Lin Tao, my name is Zhao Haiyang, and I am a manager of the Zhao family. In this area, including the Mingyuan Star Region, I am responsible for the family business of 20 star regions."

"Oh?" Lin Tao raised his eyebrows.

"In the Mingyuan Star, our Zhao family also had some business dealings. However, due to the extremely strict management of the Liu family, our Zhao family did not obtain any territory inside the planet."

Zhao Haiyang paused here and laughed softly again: "Of course, if Mr. Lin Tao cooperates with us, the future Mingyuan Star may also have a place for our Zhao family."

"Cooperation? What areas do we need to cooperate on?" Lin Tao crossed his arms over his chest.

"Mr. Lin Tao, you have seized Mingyuan Star now. Not to mention the long term, right now you are already under sanctions from the Interstellar Federation. In the short term, no spacecraft will have any trade with Mingyuan Star."

Zhao Haiyang took a sip of wine and pretended to be calm: "Just like Mr. Lin Tao came to the mining planet, it should be for the purpose of self-sufficiency in the future."

Lin Tao smiled slightly and motioned for him to continue.

Zhao Haiyang was startled, his eyes showing annoyance. Even though Lin Tao had seized Mingyuan Star, if it weren't for the instructions from the head of the family, such a character would probably not have caught his eye. After all, the Zhao family was considered a fairly large and powerful family in the Interstellar Federation.

However, he suppressed his annoyance and continued, "Unlike in the past, with the exploration of the interstellar space, more and more planets are inhabited, so the current Interstellar Federation is different from the past. In many cases, the processing industry is directly based on the planet, so now many processing industries are controlled by some big forces, such as being directly affiliated with the Interstellar Federation or being controlled by wealthy forces."

"Of course, some Star Pirate organizations also have their own processing plants, but their processing technology is poor, and whether they can maximize the processing of finished products is still a question."

At this point, Zhao Haiyang looked at Lin Tao again, revealing a half-smile: "Mr. Lin Tao is a strong mecha designer. I think the quality of the finished mineral materials and the bottlenecks of mecha manufacturing should be very clear, right?"

Zheng Cheng stood aside, listening quietly without saying a word. When he heard what Zhao Haiyang said, he couldn't help but frowned. As for the quality of the finished mineral materials, not to mention Lin Tao, even he had a rough idea in his mind.

The same mineral source, produced and processed by different processing plants, not only determines the quality of the finished mineral materials, but also affects the quantity obtained.

Nowadays, most mineral processing plants are controlled by wealthy forces or belong to the Interstellar Federation. The fundamental reason is that these forces have mastered the most advanced technology and can process the least amount of mineral resources and even separate the most high-quality finished products, such as steel, special metals, or some special resources.

It’s not that no one wants to replace them, but the small-scale production model cannot compete with the production model based on planets.

As for monopoly?

The Interstellar Federation has already divided up the processing rights, so how can there be any monopoly? It's just that it's all controlled by big forces. The only thing to blame is the small businesses' own lack of strength.

Zheng Cheng knew very well in his heart that Lin Tao came to the mining star this time because he wanted to build his own mineral processing plant.

Zheng Xun did not say anything. Although he took the opportunity to operate K223 to ask Zheng Cheng a lot of questions, he did not know Lin Tao very well, so he had to be a listener for the time being and watch the situation develop.

Seeing that Zhao Haiyang had been looking at him without saying anything, Lin Tao couldn't help but look up: "So, you only help us process the mineral resources?"

"Of course not." Zhao Haiyang took a sip of wine and laughed: "With our Zhao family's processing plant, if it is put into operation in a short period of time, it can at least produce enough mineral resources for you to load the planet, but..."

He looked at Lin Tao, with an intriguing smile in his eyes: "According to what we know, the mecha companies on Mingyuan Star have now been integrated into two major ones. In terms of quantity, there are naturally many, but compared to our powerful mecha companies, do you really think these mecha companies can produce enough mechas in the shortest time?"

Lin Tao frowned slightly and said nothing.

"If Mr. Lin Tao trusts our Zhao family, you can hand over the design drawings of those mechas to us, and we will be responsible for helping you produce them. In this way, we can deliver at least 10,000 mechas to you in a short period of time." Zhao Haiyang said softly.

Everyone present knew clearly what the design drawing of a mecha represented. As long as they had the overall design drawing, they could produce as many as they wanted. This was much better than purchasing mechas and analyzing them. It not only saved time and effort, but sometimes, even with the mecha body, it was not possible to reversely analyze the design drawing of the mecha.

Just one sentence, and he wanted Lin Tao to hand over the mecha design drawings? Zheng Cheng sneered in his heart.

You know, the mechas designed by Lin Tao, not to mention the improved version of the Tianjia Shenjiang that can sink giant starry ships, even the bionic type K223, are already a big step ahead of the Interstellar Federation technology.

It is an exaggeration to say that with a sufficient number of improved Tianjia Shenjiang and K223, subverting the Interstellar Federation is a piece of cake.

Just like the Su family in the past.

Now, the Zhao family actually wants to obtain the design drawings of these mechas just by saying they are trustworthy and helping to process mineral resources. This is simply wishful thinking and a daydream.

However, the initiative is now in Lin Tao's hands. Not to mention Zheng Cheng and Zheng Xun, even if Zheng Tuo came in person, he would not be able to represent Lin Tao.

Zheng Xun, who had just witnessed the power of K223, had a stern face and said nothing.

Zheng Cheng had always been following Lin Tao, so he naturally understood the value of these design drawings. He kept staring at Lin Tao out of the corner of his eyes.

Seeing that Lin Tao had not spoken, Zhao Haiyang narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed again: "I have to say that the mecha designed by Mr. Lin Tao has a very powerful power, but you know that the Liu family and the Davis family have now joined forces and are preparing to assemble a force of no less than 300 spaceships to attack your Mingyuan Star."

Hearing this, Zheng Cheng and Zheng Xun's expressions changed instantly. They knew very well in their hearts that the power of three hundred giant starships was enough to destroy an entire galaxy with overwhelming combat power.

"With a combat power of nearly 300 spaceships, I believe Mr. Lin Tao is a wise man." Zhao Haiyang continued, "After we have cooperated, if Mr. Lin Tao really can't resist this fleet, we can secretly take you to our Zhao family's territory and let you live without worries in the future."

At this time, Lin Tao only had one Mingyuan Star, not to mention the mecha productivity, even the mecha divisions were extremely limited. Three hundred spaceships, with at least 300,000 mechas in them, not to mention the round-robin battle, even if it was a direct human wave tactic, it could easily kill all the combat forces of Mingyuan Star.

Therefore, the conditions offered by the Zhao family to Lin Tao were very tempting.

After all, not everyone can quickly develop a huge force like the Su family.

The Su family spent at least hundreds of years preparing for its rise during that period.

However, these things are not known to outsiders.

After Zhao Haiyang finished speaking, he sipped the wine while looking at Lin Tao, looking confident, as if Lin Tao would definitely nod and agree to his conditions.

Regarding the riot on Mingyuan Star, he had already asked his team of wise men to conduct a comprehensive analysis. Not to mention the previous cooperation, the conditions proposed by the Zhao family later were enough to make Lin Tao wholeheartedly belong to their Zhao family.

It can be said that he has made a promise to the head of the Zhao family on this trip that he will definitely bring Lin Tao to their Zhao family.

riot?

Not everyone can be like the Su family. Moreover, after the battle with the Su family, the Interstellar Federation is extremely concerned about such planetary riots. Even before they grow up, they will unite with the powerful forces to put them out.

In the riot on Mingyuan Star, the Interstellar Federation was only surprised by the mecha designed by Lin Tao and wanted to recruit Lin Tao. Otherwise, they would have already joined forces with the Liu family to gather at least a thousand giant spaceships and come here.

It was precisely this situation that gave Zhao Haiyang the opportunity to come and persuade Lin Tao.

"Gone?" Seeing that Zhao Haiyang disappeared for a long time, Lin Tao couldn't help but asked with a smile.

"What's gone?" Zhao Haiyang was stunned.

"Are these all the conditions your Zhao family has put forward?" Lin Tao asked back.

"Haha~" Zhao Haiyang laughed immediately: "If Mr. Lin Tao has other conditions, you can also put them forward directly."

He was not afraid that Lin Tao might have other conditions, but he was afraid that Lin Tao would be stubborn and directly refuse. Otherwise, the head of the Zhao family would not authorize him.

"I only have one condition." Lin Tao also smiled, and his smile was very mysterious.

"Mr. Lin Tao, please speak." Zhao Haiyang was very happy. The fewer conditions there were, the easier it would be to accomplish something.

"If the Zhao family can obey my orders, then I will agree to hand over the overall design drawings of the mecha to you." Lin Tao said calmly.

After these words were spoken, Zhao Haiyang froze on the spot, and Zheng Cheng and Zheng Xun also blinked their eyes, as if they were hallucinating.

The two sturdy men following Zhao Haiyang were even more furious.

"You bastard, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Are you looking for death?"
