Zhao Feiyan replied with a wry smile, "The key is that this level of retaliatory action still cannot recover our losses!"
"Heh heh..."
Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and replied, "Kai Xuan Oilfield also has a portion of the Imperial Royal Family's shares!"
"At that time, we can refuse to pay this sum of money!"
"Use this sum of money to offset our losses!"
"Ah..."
Zhao Feiyan responded, "In that case, our relationship with the Imperial Royal Family is completely broken!"
Liu Kai Xuan replied indifferently, "Actually, our relationship with the Royal Family has already been strained for a long time!"
"And I don't think we need to actively try to mend fences with them!"
"We definitely cannot illegally plunder and occupy the resources of the Kaiya Kingdom!"
"But if Kaiya Dun dares to infringe upon our legitimate rights and interests, we can launch an infinite counterattack!"
"Therefore, it's better for us to have a bit more patience and a bit less anxiety now!"
"I've already asked Ouyang Yu to find Kaiya Dun through channels to demand liquidated damages!"
"We still need to see how this matter develops moving forward!"
What Liu Kai Xuan said to Zhao Feiyan was generally rather vague.
However, Zhao Feiyan had basically understood Liu Kai Xuan's intentions.
Without resorting to force, use other means to reason with Kaiya Dun.
Kaiya Dun would certainly not compromise, so they could directly withhold the profit share that originally belonged to Kaiya Dun.
Moreover, when carrying out these actions, they had to ensure they were on the moral high ground.
Even if war were to break out in the future, they had to have a just cause.
Liu Kai Xuan's idea was not entirely the same as Zhao Feiyan's.
Zhao Feiyan wanted to recover her losses through proactive means.
Of course, Zhao Feiyan's core idea was to resolve issues through communication and negotiation; she also did not agree with resolving conflicts through war.
Seeing Zhao Feiyan's hesitant expression, Liu Kai Xuan added, "Oh, and by the way, Feiyan, Kai Xuan City is our own property!"
"If you have any ideas, you can directly call Ouyang Yu to discuss them!"
"I won't have time to personally handle matters there for a while!"
"Understood!"
Zhao Feiyan nodded and replied, "Kai Xuan, don't worry!"
"I'm also thinking of ways now, and I'll discuss any good ideas with you as soon as I have them!"
At this moment, Zhao Feiyan's worries could be considered a bit like "borrowing trouble."
After all, Ouyang Yu was not at all anxious now.
She was enjoying herself with food, drink, and entertainment, just as she should be.
On one hand, Kai Xuan City's main focus of development was in the maritime trade business.
Kai Xuan City's port logistics industry was highly developed, with Gulf countries shipping their extracted oil and gas resources to Kai Xuan City for sale.
At the same time, the development zone was also progressing rapidly.
The seafood canned fish factory invested and built by Liu Kai Xuan had already started operations smoothly.
Simultaneously, the hotels and several other factories in the development zone had also achieved their production capacity.
The new factories Liu Kai Xuan had built in the development zone were primarily for industries surrounding military equipment.
Kai Xuan City's military factories could produce most military equipment such as drones and warships.
Now that Kai Xuan City's industrial construction was becoming very crowded, Liu Kai Xuan had relocated some of the surrounding industries of the military factories to the development zone.
Liu Kai Xuan's substantial capital injection had provided numerous job opportunities for the Sen Luo Federation, and contributed a colossal amount in taxes.
Sen Kai was so overjoyed that he had no time to scrutinize Liu Kai Xuan's production projects.
As long as it wasn't directly producing military equipment in the Sen Luo Kingdom, it was fine.
...
Kai Xuan City.
Late into the night on this day, Ouyang Yu was already asleep when she was awakened by a hurried knocking at the door.
"Who is it? Not sleeping in the middle of the night, what's going on?"
Ouyang Yu rubbed her sleepy eyes and went to the door to open it.
It was Rem, the bodyguard from the residence, who told Ouyang Yu, "Boss, a mysterious person wants to talk business with you!"
"A mysterious person wants to talk business with me?"
Ouyang Yu frowned, "Are you kidding? Tell him to come during the day!"
"Is he deliberately bothering me by not sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Rem explained, "Boss, the other party is very sincere!"
"This is a deposit they've prepaid, please take a look..."
As she spoke, Rem opened a briefcase she was carrying.
Inside the briefcase were dozens of gold bars.
Seeing this chest full of gold, Ouyang Yu immediately lost all her sleepiness!
"Who exactly wants to talk business with me? This fellow is really generous!"
Rem explained, "The other party is wearing a mask and their clothing is very strange!"
"They want to talk business with you face-to-face and don't want to reveal their identity!"
"Okay, then I'll meet this person!"
Ouyang Yu said sternly, "Rem, have the security personnel search this person thoroughly. Safety must come first!"
"Yes, Boss!"
...
Ten minutes later, Ouyang Yu met the mysterious visitor in the living room.
The person wore a black mask and a black cloak.
At first glance, they looked like a masked assassin from a wuxia drama.
However, before Ouyang Yu met with the person, the bodyguard had thoroughly searched them.
No dangerous items were found on their person.
Ouyang Yu asked, "I wonder, my friend, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me so late at night?"
"Let me state this first: we in Kai Xuan City only do legitimate and above-board business. We don't engage in murder or theft!"
The masked man chuckled and replied, "Miss Ouyang is joking!"
"Of course, I know you are a legitimate businesswoman. I just want to buy something from you."
"Buy what?" Ouyang Yu asked.
"This..." The masked man glanced at the surrounding servants and seemed hesitant.
Ouyang Yu waved her hand and signaled, "You all go wait outside!"
After the servants left, the masked man continued, "Miss Ouyang, I want to buy a batch of military equipment from you!"
"Hah!"
Ouyang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was something major!"
"If you want to buy weapons and equipment, you don't need to be so secretive. You can just come openly!"
"Our military factory has already established a sales department!"
"Go to the sales department and talk to our staff!"
"From now on, you don't need to come directly to me for such matters!"
