Chapter 29 - Ambition IV

well it's not like we choose you for a reason but almost all top food companies already tried making something from a space beast meat, but failed, and because your company is the only company that manages to get a 5-star evaluation in food solutions.

-hmm that's weird if I recall correctly General food manufacture incorporated was able to make a solution that received a 5-star evaluation before although it's several decades ago they still managed to do it- said Arc

oh, that, that was fake, they bribed the private company that tests the solutions. that's the reason the HFA ordered that all test in a product being released into the public must be tested by the government itself, and ordered the closure of all private testing facility.. of course, it wasn't released to the public to avoid public outcries. the HFA also ordered a gag order and the banning of the said product and gave a hefty fine on general food manufacture incorporated...

-oh, I see I didn't know that I just read about it online before, and what makes you think that we can do what many others failed to do?-

to be honest, I wasn't sure, but your S grade solutions are almost perfect we can't find any fault in it, to be honest, our lab was baffled on how you make your solution.

-so you tried to study our solutions I assumed you failed or else we're not talking right now-

she blushed, well to be fair do expect any less?

well to be honest Arc didn't care he didn't think anyone would be capable of copying the product produced by the factory-made by the system, even though he downgrade the solutions to the lowest rank it was still created by a rank 5 technology and not something the current technology can copy

-well If I know that it will be easy to copy I wouldn't have released it without first registering it to the patent office, fact that I released it to the public without registering for a patent is already stating the obvious don't you think?- said Arc

that may be so but do you think it will stop the people from studying and copying it?

-well I guess not- he said

in truth, he just said it, for him to look cool because he didn't really care if anyone tries to study or copy it because he knew it's impossible plain and simple...

well, we're getting out of topic, so what do you think about our proposal? ask Lisa

- you're right, and yeah we're willing to try, but what do we get out of it if we succeed?-

well that's easy, an exclusive right to it

- you're joking, right? if we succeed of course we have the exclusive right to it, that's not an offer Lisa- said Arc

that may be so but we're the only ones who can supply the space beast meat

- you're forgetting something we don't need a space beast since we're not really planning on making military-grade solutions, why should we waste our time and manpower for nothing?-

it's not for nothing per se we will still buy it from you we only want it to be a lot cheaper.

- because you have the Monopoly of the materials so you dictate the price after all, of course, your not willing to pay good money for it.

Lisa knows Arc was right the HFA is not willing to spend a lot of money for it since they know they have the Monopoly of the space beast meat but she can't do anything about it she was just asked to negotiate with him,

this is getting nowhere Lisa said in her mind, she thought she can easily negotiate with Arc. who doesn't want to work for HFA any company would jump for the opportunity.

you know war is coming and the HFA is spending a lot of money in preparation for war, so they can't spend too much money on food solutions, and besides, we all need to give part in it. said Lisa

- come on Lisa you have to give us more than that, otherwise, it's not worth it for us to spend time and resources to create a military-grade solution using space beast meat for you..-

Lisa was getting frustrated the conversation doesn't seem to move on, but she didn't show it in her face.

please tell me what you want Arc, and let's not waste anyone's time?

- well if you want it that way sure, I want HFA to provide us our own place at the LIBERTY and we want to work unsupervised.. -

LIBERTY a gigantic space city founded by much human power and friendly aliens by combining the many asteroids to form a gigantic spaceport that facilitates open trade to all friendly forces, HFA is not the only human power in space, they're one of the biggest yes, but the not the only one, Omega Foundation is one of them founded by a group of scientist who thinks that combining alien and human genes is the way to the future, they have already separated themselves to Earths humanity a long time ago..

during the age of space exploration, many humans didn't want to be under HFA so they separated themselves and build power for themselves Omega Foundation is one of them, the Royal Empire is another, and many more...

in other words, LIBERTY has become the biggest hub for humans and aliens in space, in simple terms, it's a gigantic space market. and in there Grand Trading Corp. will truly shine, in there Arc will be able to use the system in full capacity, and arc knows this because of Eve...

that's.. don't you think you're asking for too much? we're just asking you for a military-grade solution. Lisa replied

- is that so, well if you think it's not a big deal creating a military-grade solutions from space beast meat, you can do it yourself, or better yet find someone besides us to do it for you, it's not like we're really losing anything from not accepting the deal you're offering - said Arc

Lisa shakes her head she's frustrated because she can't do anything, I can't decide on this I'll convey your request to the higher up, I'll let you know when they decided something.

- sure no problem take your time I'm not in a hurry anyways - Arc said with a playful sounds

" you're not but we are, just how big is your appetite LIBERTY is the most sought after land in the Galaxy many power wants a piece of it but remains unreachable " she frustratedly said in her mind

ok I'll let them know but don't expect much, you know the value of LIBERTY I don't think the higher-ups will agree

- it's fine just let them know, just tell them it's either that or they can find someone else to do it for them, because that's the only price we will accept - replied Arc to Lisa
