"As you get older, it's just like this, you like to nag and complain, get used to daily life, and forget more and more things. You're still young, without such worries. You should take advantage of your youth and venture out. If you keep bunkered at home, you'll surely regret it when you get old." "

"Compared to that, I actually prefer a stable, peaceful life. As for adventure, forget it."

Ji Jue smiled wryly, "Easy to overthink."

Lv Yingyue asked, "Shengnian told me that you don't plan to take Sea Tide's shares?" "

Ji Jue shook his head, "The amount is too large, even if there's a bit of contribution, is it really worth that much?"

After mergers and restructuring on the Coast and Tide City side, coupled with military assets transferred from Qingtian Industry, and adding the spoils dug from Echo New Genesis and their four companies, it's destined to be a rapidly rising colossus in the future, even if it's not yet operational and listed, and may very well be a standout military company in Federation Southeast Region.

What Ji Jue did at most was to revive an automobile factory and participate in a rally race.

Being a pawn crossing the river, attracting attention, creating disturbances, the most important for the king's advance. Really settling tasks, even if there's some output, it's not near MVP status, just making a superficial show, where's it worth such a high price?

"Only at this time, it doesn't seem like a craftsman at all."

Lv Yingyue shook her head, lamenting, "Being too measured isn't a good thing."

If it were another craftsman facing such enormous wealth, they wouldn't hesitate at all.

Alchemy is a money-burning technology, just ruthless enough, no amount of money is too much, and similarly, no amount is enough. Encountering such situations, even if unable to hold or swallow, it's crucial to pocket it, fearing nothing, then see if it kills.

Ye Xian perhaps wouldn't waver because she simply doesn't care about these benefits, nor does she want to be bound by Lv Yingyue because of them.

But Ji Jue's refusal is hard to comprehend.

Is it purely because of restraint?

"I probably can't agree with you on that point."

She deliberated for a moment and said, "If you find it troublesome, let Chen Xingzhou and the Tong family hold it for you, you don't have to participate in management."

Originally giving this portion to you was a result of negotiations and compromises from all sides; no one would agree to give it to someone else."

At this stage, Sea Tide must remain stable, not only as a reward but also as a duty you're required to fulfill. Besides, at this critical juncture, everyone is sharing in the bounty. If you aim for noble virtue, it will only add trouble... wait a few years, selling it to anyone then would be no issue, even if you don't want the money, you can donate it to Chongguang Church."

As for annual dividends, transform them into materials through Security Bureau and Desert Market, how about that?

As far as I know, the research on Xiang Sword Ninth Form demands not typical materials, Ye Xian suffered quite a bit for this back in the day. Just relying on your channels, even with Taiyi Ring and Tianping Commerce, many materials might be hard to obtain."

Ji Jue pondered silently for a moment, neither further pushing nor insisting.

"Let's do that then."

After all, who wouldn't want money falling from the sky? Moreover, taking no responsibility, not managing, just sitting and waiting for dividends and materials each year, such a thing is hard for any craftsman to refuse."

This is a disguised yet stable sponsorship channel.

An investment that needs no repayment.

With words laid so clear, continuing to push away would be not only hypocritical but also show a lack of gratitude."

"Besides this?" Lv Yingyue asked with a smile, "You came to see me urgently today not just for the share issue, right?"

Ji Jue sighed, smiled self-mockingly. No wonder the teacher called me a sly fox, easy to handle someone at Ji Jue's level, too effortlessly.

Without opening his mouth, the hurried reason for coming probably has been clearly understood.

He simply no longer concealed, straightforwardly asked, "I heard Sea Tide's industrial park in Tide City Phase 1 is nearly complete?"

This time, it was Lv Yingyue's turn to be silent.

"Could it be you're interested?"

She was slightly surprised, "That would be great, I can speak for you to your teacher if there's any idea or position you want, don't be shy."

To Ji Jue such as Ye Xian's true disciple, almost a guaranteed future master, any company wouldn't hold back on positions or power.

If Ji Jue really wanted to enter Sea Tide, that would be ideal.

But if that's the case, why refuse the shares? Couldn't be just a shallow probing?"

"No, you might have misunderstood."

Ji Jue shook his head, "At this point, the big picture is set, Sea Tide's rise is unstoppable, which means... the existence of Coastal Automobile Factory, doesn't really matter, right?"

"..."

After a momentary bewilderment, Lv Yingyue already understood his meaning."

"Correct."

She lifted the teacup, spoke slowly, "Even so, the Coast remains one of the most important parts of Sea Tide Group right now; even if the future doesn't focus on the automobile industry, it surely won't waste the current foundation."

Lv Yingyue reminded, "A lot of money has been invested in it."

"I know."

Ji Jue decisively nodded, seemingly oblivious to her implied meaning, smiled, suddenly asked, "Just automobiles? What else?"
