Chapter 1331: Su Yu's Rebuttal
"Blue Whale," Su Yu quickly asked the AI, "Who's speaking?"
The AI Blue Whale replied, "I don't know, can't tell. It's probably a simulation of a Stellar Being's voice. My level isn't high enough to identify exactly who it is, but I can confirm it's a Stellar Being."
"A Stellar Being?" Su Yu scanned the Stellar Beings on the stage, one of them must be the culprit.
"But that doesn't make sense?" Su Yu frowned in confusion.
From Speaker Lemor to Banker Soren, he hadn't offended any of them.
Though Su Yu had the backing of the Sacred Hymn, he didn't look down on anyone or disregard the Stellar Beings.
He had a good relationship with the Guard Force, was on friendly terms with Ashley, and had even dined with Banker Soren.
He hadn't interacted with others like Speaker Lawrence Lemor, President Grandon, and Gem Dragon Lucia, but he hadn't offended them either. So, who was trying to trip him up?
As Su Yu remained silent, whispers filled the parliamentary hall.
The live stream's public discussion area was also flooded with negative comments:
- "Yeah, 4.2 trillion! That's a lot!"
- "4.2 trillion is terrifying! Although Blue Whale is worth that much, how can people not be jealous of Councilor Su Yu's sudden wealth?"
- "Most Planetary Beings don't have that much money, right?"
- "Not just Planetary Beings, even Stellar Beings might not have that much!"
- "So much money, it's enviable."
...
In the parliamentary hall, many Planetary Beings were envious.
Even the Stone Man Retodz, who was usually silent, was speechless, his head hanging low.
Although Retodz and Su Yu were close friends, he had only accumulated a billion-level fortune after a lifetime of effort. Su Yu had amassed 4.2 trillion in just one night. It was impossible for Retodz not to feel a twinge of jealousy.
It was like a struggling student feeling envious of a top student who barely studied but still got into a prestigious university.
...
Seeing the situation deteriorate, Su Yu realized he needed to speak up.
While he expected jealousy, he hadn't anticipated that the Stellar Beings would be so dissatisfied and start looking for trouble.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not as you think. 4.2 trillion Sacred Silver Coins is indeed a huge sum. However, this huge sum will benefit the Nexus immensely!" Su Yu began to explain.
"..." No one spoke, only looking at him disbelievingly.
They were waiting to see how Su Yu would spin this.
Su Yu continued seriously, "Three days ago, I promised Minister Soren that I would invest 70% of this huge sum into the Figer Nexus over the next two years.
The remaining 30% I will bring back to my home planet.
But you must understand, even though I'm bringing it back to my home planet, my home planet is still part of the Nexus's jurisdiction. Ultimately, it will still be the Nexus's wealth!"
"Once my home planet develops, the goods produced will definitely be transported to the Nexus in large quantities, and my people will also develop within the Nexus. In essence, the Nexus will not suffer any loss!"
At this point, Su Yu paused briefly.
Then, he looked around at all the councilors on and off the stage before addressing the camera, "Not only will there be no loss, but the Nexus will also gain AI Blue Whale.
There's no need for me to elaborate on the importance of AI Blue Whale, is there? Its value cannot be measured in Sacred Silver Coins. Which Nexus wouldn't want a Level 4 AI?
In summary, there should be no doubt about this transaction. It is a win-win situation for the Nexus!"
Su Yu's words were firm and decisive.
After speaking, he let out a sigh of relief, finally managing to turn the tide.
The public chat area's sentiment shifted instantly:
- "That makes sense!"
- "Councilor Su Yu is right!"
- "We were misled. Councilor Su Yu is one of us. The money he gets will be spent within the Nexus, not just disappearing into thin air."
- "We used to pay taxes to the Nexus government, which then spent it. Now, we're just giving a portion to Councilor Su Yu to spend, and there's no real difference. Besides, AI Blue Whale will benefit everyone more than this!"
- "Are you underestimating AI Blue Whale? Even if we sold it for 4.2 trillion, some Nexus would definitely buy it. It's a good deal!"
...
The public chat area's sentiment had turned, and the negative atmosphere in the parliamentary hall began to ease.
However, unlike the general public, the atmosphere in the parliamentary hall didn't completely change, only slightly improved.
Unlike ordinary Nexus citizens who only cared about where their taxes went, the councilors still harbored more envy and jealousy towards Su Yu.
Su Yu's words only addressed the concerns of the general public, not the councilors. Their envy and jealousy towards Su Yu remained.
Some councilors were even secretly plotting, hoping to get a share of the 4.2 trillion, though they didn't show it on the surface.
...
At this point, Speaker Lemor knew it was his turn to speak.
He signaled the camera, and once it focused on him, Lemor smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, let's not misinterpret this transaction. There's no doubt that this transaction will bring significant benefits to the Nexus! Councilor Su Yu is one of us, not an outsider. We are all contributing to the Nexus."
He turned to Su Yu, his smile carrying a hint of meaning, "But Councilor Su Yu, you should be cautious. 4.2 trillion is a significant amount, and there will definitely be those who covet it. You must always be vigilant."
