The Meeting

After the auction was over, James was busy dealing with the subsequent transaction. Luckily, Zhou Li, his assistant, was quite capable and could be trusted.

Inside the study room at the estate, James was thinking about his plan. There was only two weeks away from his coronation, and he must be prepared.

'System, do you have any idea for how to construct my Kingdom ?' James asked. Although he already had a plan inside his mind, but he wasn't quite assured about it.

[I need to remind you that I'm only auxiliary. But since you asked, then I can only surrender to your will....]

Then, a blue transparent panel appeared in front of James's vision. The content of it was a detailed plan about the construction of the major public facility for the Kingdom of Lannister.

After binding with James, the System had digested the entire Internet content, even those that hidden. Government secret file, Company database, and many more. Although the System quite disdain for the backward content of it, he still stored all the information.

The plan that was given by the System was complete and encompassing. Based on the data, the System gave James detailed information about the estimated construction price of the major public facility like the airport, port, road, and many more.

Not only that, the data was also synchronized with the actual situation of the Kingdom. The System also gave James many designs, which was considerable for him.

Although the information given by the System was very much, with his enhanced brain, James still managed to absorbed it all. With the System plan combined with his plan, James finally confident about the upcoming event.

James relaxed his body on the chair as the recent day was quite busy. Even though his body wasn't tired, his mind was. He opened his attribute panel as he wanted to see how many reputations he had after all of the events.

[Host: James Zhang

Position: Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Lannister

Authority: First-Level

Life Intensity: 6.76

Life Expectancy: 26/139

Reputation Value: 471,834,900]

James grinned as he was finally 'rich'. Although it was still distant for many peak black technology that priced at 10 Billion Reputation Value, he could always just buy the finished product. He discovered that the finished product was 100-1000 times cheaper than the technology of it.

For example, the technology of Nuclear Fusion was valued at 10 Billion, while a Nuclear Fusion reactor valued at 10 Million. So before his reputation was abundant enough, James would buy just the finished product directly.

Of course, there was a loophole on this method. Who said that James couldn't research about the technology by himself? Since there was a finished product, the research would only easier than inventing it. James already had a plan to build a research center after the time was ripe.

James closed his attribute panel and opened the System Mall. He always had many stuff he always wanted to buy in the Mall. But at the thought of his Kingdom, he restrained himself, so he didn't buy those 'useless' stuff for now.

James only bought a Primary Artificial Intelligence for 10 Million as this would help him much. Although to hosted it required a supercomputer, he would soon build it. He was drooling when he saw much cool stuff on display at the Mall, but he restrained his desire.

James took a look at the clock and found it was already 1 am. Although he didn't get tired thanks to his body, he needed to rest his mind. He closed the balcony door and turned off the light. He set the alarm clock for 7 am as he had a meeting tomorrow.

----------------

Inside a meeting room at one of the most luxurious hotels in London, there was an important meeting held. Many different faces were meeting together with a handsome young man as its center.

"Your Majesty, we China Communication Construction Company (CCCC) guarantees the best quality and the fastest construction time." A middle-aged man said as he patted his chest.

"Old Song, do you forget me? Your Majesty, don't listen to him. We PowerChina guarantee the best, and it will only better than CCCC." Another middle-aged man said as he ridiculed.

"Your Majesty, we STRABAG, has rich experience for building many infrastructures around the would. We..."

James was looking at the increasingly fierce quarrel in front of him. He took a spoon and knocked it at his tea glass a few times. All the people stopped their argument and looking at James's direction.

"Gentlemen, we are a civilized people here, so please maintain the order. Before all of you offered your plan, you better take a look at my plan first. If any of you can guarantee to complete it as my plan dictated, then you can take it." James said as he gave the signal to Zhou Li behind him.

Zhou Li then gave a thick stack of paper to each of them. All the CEOs took a look at the paper seriously, as this was related to their money.

"All of this plan stems from a professional, and it already in line with the situation of my Kingdom. All of you don't need to bother to design a plan, as you can just do it according to the paper in your hand. I only need a guarantee if any of you can make it according to the plan.

And oh yeah, I'm also want to reveal something. My investment in the construction of my Kingdom will never less than $500 Billion for the next ten years." James said leisurely.

Just like a deep water bomb, all the CEOs immediately shocked by James's revelation. Their eyes were almost popping out of their socket as this was too unbelievable.

"Y...Your Majesty, is what you are said true ?" The CEO of CCCC asked. After all, what concept was $500 Billion? And according to James's tone, it would be only more than that figure.

"What? Are you questioning me ?" James asked as he stared at the man.

"No, no, no." The man said hurriedly as cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Just now, he felt like a fierce beast stared him.

"Your Majesty, I can't give you the answer now as I need to discuss it first." The CEO of PowerChina said carefully.

"Me too, Your Majesty." The CEO of STRABAG said.

"I give three days for all of you, any more than that, then I will not accept it." James said as he got up from his seat. He then left the room with his entourage.

"Damn, you believe with this, Old Yan ?" Song Hailiang, the CEO of CCCC, said.

Yan Zhiyong, the CEO of PowerChina, didn't reply as he focused on the paper on his hand. After a while, he put down the paper into the table and said, "It should be true, all of the design and plan in this paper are a legit genius. And according to my judgment, even if $500 Billion is just a bluff, there should at least $200 Billion budget."

Who didn't know the wealth of Lannister now? Just from their collection alone, it was already worth at least $40 Billion, and it was just the tip of the iceberg.

"Gentlemen, I will leave first." Thomas, the CEO of STRABAG, said as he stood up. He then put the paper into his briefcase and left the meeting room. Then, one after another, they left the room. They knew it was a competition now. After all, with a $500 Billion budget, anyone would be crazy.

Although none of them could eat the entire budget alone, but the competition was the percentage of the budget they may receive. Song Hailiang and Yan Zhiyong also left quickly as they must discuss with their compatriots in China.
