Dr. Cross was a little disappointed when he heard Daenerys say this.

But then, Daenerys smiled and said, "Although your product still has some defects, I am very satisfied with the prospects of the project. You introduced the situation of the serum to us, isn't it because you want more abundant funds? No problem, as long as Jed agrees, Zhao and I can invest, and we can even provide you with a safe and risk-free source of experimental subjects..."

"Dani!"

Zhao Lihe frowned slightly.

Daenerys whispered, "Since I freed the slaves, the surviving slave owners have formed a secret organization called the Sons of the Harpy to secretly resist my rule. Now I have eliminated all their branches in Meereen, Yunkai, and Astapor, causing the prisons in Slaver's Bay to be overcrowded. Many death row prisoners are dragged out and beheaded every day."

"They're going to die anyway, so why not make use of the waste? You don't sympathize with those slave traders, do you?"

At this point, Daenerys paused, looked at the hesitant look on Zhao Lihe's face, and chuckled, "I know what you are worried about. You just think that I shouldn't do this kind of thing. Indeed, in your hearts, I may be the youngest sister, but in my world, I am the Dragon Queen who rules Slaver's Bay with absolute force!"

Zhao Lihe sighed and said, "Okay, I thought too much."

The conversation between the two was conducted in the common language of Westeros, which Dr. Cross could not understand at all. He could only see that they quickly reached a consensus after a brief conversation.

Dr. Cross smiled and said, "Before the two Your Majesties arrived, the boss said that you are welcome to invest in the laboratory's projects, but there are limits on the investment share and the proportion of the results shared."

"How many?"

“10% per person.”

Daenerys was a little surprised: "So generous?"

Zhao Lihe smiled and said, "Brother Zuo has always been very generous - tell me, how much money do you need?"

Dr. Cross was delighted when he heard this, and immediately cautiously asked, "For the first investment, each of you will get 3 billion. What do you think?"

"Three billion?"

Daenerys and Zhao Lihe looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

Dr. Cross quickly explained: "Our project costs a lot, including various cutting-edge instruments and experimental equipment, equipment wear and tear, and the maintenance costs of the laboratory and underwater base, etc...."

Daenerys interrupted him with a smile: "Dr. Cross, you misunderstood, I mean, only three billion?"

Dr. Cross was slightly startled, then nodded quickly: "Yes."

“Can we settle the bill with gold and silver?”

"That would be great!"

"Very good, happy cooperation!"

Zhao Lihe and Daenerys smiled, stretched out their hands, and shook hands with Dr. Cross respectively.

At this time, Zuo Yu had already fixed the portal on the third floor of the underwater base and returned here via the elevator.

Seeing that the three of them were talking happily, Zuo Yu walked over and put his arm around Zhao Lihe's shoulders with a smile.

"How was the conversation?"

"Not bad. I have already invested in your serum project, 10% of the shares. I heard that this was your idea. It's really rare that you would do such a loss-making business. So, it's not too late to regret it now."

Zhao Lihe smiled and joked a few times.

For them, this is indeed a losing deal, because [King Hulk Serum] can obviously be exchanged for Gray Mist Coins, while no matter how much secular money there is, it cannot be exchanged for Gray Mist Coins.

Using a mere 3 billion dollars to exchange for 10% of the results of the serum project is a sure win for both of them.

Zuo Yu smiled and said, "I won't regret it. I'm not giving you shares out of charity, but because I'm really short of cash. If you really feel bad, just exchange with me!"

Zhao Lihe asked: "What in exchange?"

Zuo Yu said seriously: "The Ming Dynasty's American development rights, and Dany's Night Shadow Water business."

Zhao Lihe thought for a moment and nodded, "No problem, I'll give you 20% of the rights to develop the Americas, but it will take some time to cash it out."

Zuo Yu smiled and said, "Time is not a problem!"

"I can also give you 10% of Night Shadow Water's shares."

Daenerys said quickly, and then asked with concern: "Jed, are you short of money now? If you are short of money, you can tell me. When I started my business, you gave me five boxes of gold. Now, just say the word from you, and I will pay you back a hundredfold even if I have to plunder all the land in Essos!"

"So thoughtful?"

Zuo Yu smiled, then explained with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not really short of money. I'm just busy acquiring a bank recently, and my cash flow is a bit slow. After the acquisition is completed in a while, there shouldn't be any problem."

“Banks, what are you acquiring banks for?”

Daenerys asked confused.

Zuo Yu smiled and explained, "The bank is not the key. The key lies in the 16.48% stake in United Industries held by the bank. What I am interested in is this 16.48% stake and the status of the largest shareholder of United Industries, the third largest military industrial giant in the United States."

"I see!"

Daenerys suddenly realized.

Afterwards, the two, led by Zuo Yu, walked to the third floor of the West Coast Base, preparing to go to the Game of Thrones world through the fixed portal.

Before leaving, Dr. Cross, on behalf of the West Coast Base and the Alpha Team, presented two serums to investors Mr. Zhao and Miss Targaryen, namely Serum No. 2 (specialized version for physical self-healing) and Serum No. 4 (specialized version for muscle strengthening) of the King Hulk Serum.

These two serums are the most stable finished products among the five specialized serums and can be used compatibly.

Zhao Lihe and Daenerys gladly accepted them, and after returning to the Alliance, Daenerys couldn't wait to inquire about it, and found out that the exchange price of these two serums was around 300 Grey Mist Coins. Although this price was acceptable, it was obviously too low compared to its efficacy.

Daenerys asked her doubts and found out that the exchange price of serum items was continuing to decline.

The exchange price for the first three times is the highest, which is 1,000 Gray Mist Coins. The price will be lower each time thereafter.

Now the price of the serum has dropped to 300, which means that Zuo Yu had already exchanged the King Hulk Serum to the Alliance.

Daenerys was speechless. No wonder this guy behaved so generously. It turned out that he had already taken all the profits.

Zhao Lihe also discovered this, so he went to the [Rare Treasures Pavilion] to check, and found that there were indeed serums for sale, and there were complete varieties, with prices ranging from 800-1000 Gray Mist Coins.

Not only that, the samples are also sold in the [Wanjie Technology] jointly opened by Zuo Yu and Ye Zixun, and the price is 799 Gray Mist Coins, which is exactly the price bottom line of [Rare Treasure Pavilion].

"Swindler!"

Daenerys opened her eyes wide and glared at Zuo Yu angrily.

Zuo Yu laughed loudly: "You still have a lot to learn if you do business with me!"

Anyway, this transaction is not actually a loss, it’s just that the profit is not as big as imagined, so there is some gap.

Soon, the three of them entered the hall again and came to Daenerys's Game of Thrones world.

…

Standing in front of the marble palace of Qarth, looking at the bright and fragrant garden in front of him, and the silver-haired girl next to the flowers who was more beautiful than the flowers, Zuo Yu smiled and asked: "Have you decided?"

"Um."

Daenerys nodded, picked a violet that was similar in color to her pupils, and said softly, "Qarth is the largest and richest city in Essos. It also has a superior geographical location and is the largest port on Essos. It is large enough to be my secondary capital in Essos in the future and is eligible to occupy one of the three fixed portals."

"What about the location? Is it also at the port terminal?"

"No." Daenerys shook her head and whispered, "The Hall of a Thousand Seats!"

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the Hall of a Thousand Seats, escorted by hundreds of the Unsullied's personal soldiers and the Thirteen Iron Guards.

This was once the power center of Qarth. The royal families of Qarth sat high on the huge wooden chairs of their ancestors. The wooden chairs were arranged in an arc, rising step by step from the marble floor to the high circular ceiling, which depicted the glorious scene of Qarth in the past.

As the host and Queen of Qarth, Daenerys naturally sat on the throne at the top of the stairs.

Zuo Yu and Zhao Lihe sat to her left and right, looking at the huge chair beneath them with great interest.

These chairs were not only huge but also exquisitely carved, with bright gilded surfaces and inlaid with amber, agate, jade and emerald.

"As expected, these ancient slave owners were more extravagant!"

Zuo Yu looked at the huge wooden chair and the surrounding palace, and couldn't help but sigh.

The luxury he talked about was not just luxury in terms of value, but also luxury in terms of spectacle and human life. In this era, if one wanted to build such a tall palace, one would have to sacrifice the lives of many slaves and laborers.

It can be said that every brick and every crack here contains the flesh and blood of some unknown wronged soul.

Zhao Lihe also understood Zuo Yu's meaning and couldn't help but let out a barely perceptible sigh.

Daenerys did not notice their actions. She just looked at the Unsullied Guards in the hall below and whispered, "Grey Worm."

The stern-faced commander of the Unsullied stepped out and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty."

Daenerys said calmly: "Go and call Mr. Drazzi over."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Grey Worm accepted the order respectfully, then turned and left the hall.
