Chapter 99: Develop An Interstellar s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p In One Year!
Raymond nodded.
Raymond had already expected that some forces would choose not to attend the meeting.
The c.o.c.ktail party had a wide range of functions in Western society.
For example, business talks, various festivals, such as today’s opening ceremony of the research inst.i.tute, and so on.
Attending the c.o.c.ktail party basically represented a kind of blessing or approval att.i.tude.
And not attending was naturally a clear expression of their disapproval!
Moreover, those who didn’t attend were basically all large families. This was something that Raymond had roughly guessed!
There were many families in the United States. They held great power and had deep financial strength.
But without a doubt, these families were also the most realistic forces!
When they felt that Raymond had no investment value, they didn’t even want to attend the banquet!
Raymond laughed coldly in his heart. It was better if they didn’t attend, so that he wouldn’t feel stifled when they saw these people!
The two of them walked forward. Many of them raised the champagne in their hands and looked at Raymond with kind eyes.
Some young women’s beautiful eyes kept on Raymond’s body. It was obvious that their hearts were already aroused.
Just as they were about to reach the front, Raymond suddenly heard a voice that sounded like a male duck’s voice.
“Hehe, I think that Raymond is just bragging. He wants to develop an interstellar s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p in a year? Why didn’t he say that he wants to conquer the Milky Way in a year?”
Hearing this, Raymond frowned and turned his gaze over. He saw a rather handsome, well-dressed n.o.ble son with a gentle temperament.
Sherry naturally heard this person’s voice.
Her face turned cold, and she whispered in Raymond’s ear.
“This is the first son of the Roosevelt family, Rhode. The Roosevelt family is mainly in the steel business. I think they are here to take some steel orders from our research inst.i.tute.”
Raymond nodded slightly.
Raymond Research Inst.i.tute is a gold-swallowing beast. No matter what research, it needed to consume a lot of resources!
Steel was only the smallest part of it!
Most of the attention was on all kinds of precision instruments. Those precision instruments that could easily reach tens of millions or even billions of dollars were definitely not lacking in the Raymond Research Inst.i.tute!
Being discussed like this behind his back, Raymond was naturally unhappy. He thought for a moment and directly stood on the stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Raymond Research Inst.i.tute’s celebration party.”
Wow.
There was a round of applause.
Raymond smiled and continued.
“Everyone, on behalf of the military, I am deeply honored. I hope that everyone can eat well and drink well. In the future, the development of the Raymond Research Inst.i.tute will not be possible without your support.”
This was a cliché. No matter what kind of reception, the host of the reception would almost always say such an opening sentence!
Then, Raymond looked at the firstborn of the Roosevelt family. The corners of his mouth curved into a dangerous arc.
“Today, I would like to introduce a friend to everyone. He is the Roosevelt family’s eldest son, Rhode!”
Hearing this, everyone followed Raymond’s hand gesture in surprise and saw the dumbfounded Rhode.
Rhode was chatting with a few other familiar friends. Who would have thought that Raymond would directly name him!?
But in this kind of high-level c.o.c.ktail party, being able to attract the attention of others was naturally a good thing.
Rhode nodded to the crowd with self-restraint. Then, he walked up to the stage and gave Raymond a gentle hug.
Although he was puzzled, he didn’t think too much about it.
The Roosevelt family was very powerful. Perhaps Raymond had a request for his family.
Rhode was extremely proud of himself.
So what if he was the recipient of the National Medal of Honor? Didn’t he still have to give him face?
Rhode stood on the stage, feeling high-spirited. Just as he was about to say something, Raymond interrupted him.
“Everyone!”
“Everyone, the Raymond Research Inst.i.tute knows that the Roosevelt family is powerful, so we would like to place all future steel orders with the Roosevelt family, including the order for the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. We will also place orders with the Roosevelt family!”
Hong!
The audience exploded!
After all, such commercial orders were usually held in private.
At the beginning of this banquet, Raymond didn’t even ask about the price and directly placed such a large order. This really stunned everyone.
Rhode felt as though a windfall had fallen from the sky!
His face was filled with disbelief!
Although he didn’t believe that Raymond could build the so-called interstellar s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p in a year, that didn’t affect him. He could get that huge order!
Even if it was for the sake of face, the Raymond Research Inst.i.tute would have to build an empty sh.e.l.l, right?
That level of custom-made steel, just based on money alone, was probably a huge order worth billions!
Even the Roosevelt family had never encountered such an order!
At this moment, Rhode was ecstatic. He even felt like it was surreal!
Taking the microphone from Raymond, looking at Raymond’s smiling face, Rhode suddenly had the urge to cry!
Although he was the eldest son of the Roosevelt family, the probability of him becoming the next head of the family was not very high!
After all, he still had two younger brothers.
These two younger brothers were geniuses!
Rhode only had the advantage of being born earlier.
If nothing unexpected happened, when his father abdicated, the position of head of the family probably had nothing to do with him.
But if he could get this order, it would be different!
Such a large order of billions, even in the Roosevelt family, was never seen before!
Those old fellows had to admit his achievements!
Rhode’s heart was pounding, and his hand holding the microphone was trembling.
“Well… Thank you, General Raymond, for your kindness, and also thank the research inst.i.tute for giving such a huge order to the Roosevelt family. We will definitely…”
However, before Rhode could finish his words, a video appeared on the big screen behind him.
On it was the scene where Rhode ridiculed Raymond.
“Hehe, I think that Raymond is just bragging. He wants to develop an interstellar s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p in a year? Why didn’t he say that he wants to conquer the Milky Way in a year?”
Before Rhode could finish his sentence, he heard his own voice.
Moreover, for some reason, the audio of this video was extremely clear.
The video was also clear. Even his arrogant and mocking eyes were perfectly captured!
Rhode was stunned!
The audience went crazy!
Everyone looked at Rhode who was on the stage.
Many people were gloating!
This is great. Originally, it was a huge order worth billions, but because of your foul mouth, it was gone!
Some of the family representatives who were compet.i.tors with the Roosevelt family laughed out loud!
On the stage, Raymond looked at Rhode and said lightly, “Oh? It seems like Mr. Rhode doesn’t trust our s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p project very much. In that case, this order really has no fate with the Roosevelt family! Mr. Rhode, I’m sorry!”
