Chapter 301: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [301]
Inside the Team Rocket Base
After giving Giovanni a brief summary of the operation, a satisfied smile appeared on Giovanni's face.
"Excellent work," Giovanni said, stroking his Persian's fur. "Kalos is too far from Kanto, and considering our current shortage of manpower, your arrangements are the most suitable for the situation."
Developing the commercial sector quietly and letting the Kalos division provide a steady stream of funds for Team Rocket would alleviate the financial strain caused by the loss of the Rainbow Game Corner and the establishment of the Hoenn branch.
"I plan to introduce the holographic communication technology from Kalos to Kanto," Luo Yuan explained. "For this, I intend to collaborate with Silph Co."
There were three reasons for choosing Silph Co.
First, as a massive corporation and a Kanto-based entity, Silph Co. had the most comprehensive distribution network, allowing the holographic communication technology to expand rapidly.
Second, Silph Co. had been struggling with innovation in recent years and was eager to explore new directions. Their willingness to invest in Professor Oak's groundbreaking Pokémon research proved how desperate they were for fresh opportunities. This made them likely to offer favorable terms.
Lastly, with Luo Yuan's recent acquisition of a 3% stake, he now owned 8% of Silph Co. Keeping the profits within the family was only logical.
Giovanni had no objections. As long as it brought funding to the organization, he was satisfied.
"Speaking of funds..." Giovanni lifted his hand from Persian's head. "Your arrangements for those three during the Indigo Plateau Conference were spot on."
