Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1283 Starting a Company
"Your Excellency Bart!"

"The Governor of Devonstar and the Chief of Staff of the Vigilant Fleet were both recommended by Your Excellency!"

"And Your Excellency is in charge of all security affairs on Devonstar."

"Grant the title of Grand Governor of the Planet!"

"In addition, we will issue you a Class A security equipment production license!"

"In addition, certain compensation will be provided for the terrorist attack that occurred to His Excellency Bart."

"In addition, other nobles on Devon who suffered losses will also receive corresponding compensation!"

"This is our compensation plan!" The elders and the emperor quickly presented the plan they had discussed as soon as they saw Bart enter the virtual conference room.

Public opinion within the empire has been brewing fiercely lately, as have opinions in two other countries!
The Grand Duke of Golden Oak, and the Red Earl—how many terrorist attacks has the Red Earl carried out throughout human society!
Therefore, both the Alliance and the Federation are now focusing on this issue.

Of course, since the Grand Duke of Golden Oak has disappeared, he can now simply renege on his debts.

However, the prerequisite for defaulting on debts is that no one from your own side comes out to spout nonsense.

In other words, to repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability!

If we don't win over Bart and these nobles, they'll definitely sabotage us behind our backs.

Elder Gui also had his own considerations, namely, to grant Bat Security Equipment a production license.

Therefore, Bart can only produce security equipment on a small scale.

The other elders won't sell the materials and production lines needed for large-scale security equipment.

Or they could restrict trade, using it to strangle Kabat!
Just like the production line for bionic robots.

The production line itself is extremely valuable, and there is also the production of upstream materials in the supporting industrial chain.

Even if Bart mass-produces these devices, he still can't compete with these established manufacturers on price.

Because established manufacturers have long since completed their layout in upstream materials and other supporting industries for components.

A small bionic robot requires tens of thousands of parts.

These tens of thousands of parts are all produced on fully automated intelligent production lines.

The parts produced on these production lines are then assembled into biomimetic robots.

Moreover, over 80% of these parts are controlled by programs.

Of course, this is still the hardware system; there is also the software system.

Furthermore, the hardware, software, and appearance have all been patented by established manufacturers long ago.

Therefore, Barth wanted to mass-produce it, but neither his patented technology nor the materials allowed him to do so.

But Bart wanted to develop all the technology himself.

The price paid was enormous; in any case, no one present believed that Bart had the ability!

"What about the territory?"

"You've already taken a slice of the big cake from the Grand Duke of Golden Oak, shouldn't you leave some for me?" Yang Bo asked irritably after reading the terms.

"Cough cough!"

"Your Excellency Bart, please don't be anxious!"

“Besides the land you saw last time, we have prepared another piece of land on Devon Star,” the elders said.

The elders didn't have good intentions either. These families of the Grand Dukes in the Elder Council would scatter all their people across all the planets!

We won't put all the people, land, and estates on one planet, because that might lead to some dangers!
Because no one knows what unexpected events might occur in the vast starry sky!
Giving Bart a piece of land on Devon might seem like a good thing, but it's really just putting all your eggs in one basket!
Yang Bo was certainly aware of what these people were thinking, but his ultimate goal was not to occupy a piece of land in the empire.

Instead, he wants to use his current identity and status to help Yang Bo himself create a second world!

Moreover, Yang Bo is not afraid of anyone targeting him, because he has the ability to leave at any time.

Of course, they will come up with some technologies to cover up this ability later.

For example, the reverse operation of the mech recall spell, or the mech's remote spatial delivery.

This is similar to a random scroll or teleportation scroll in a game!

Of course, Yang Bo did not initially intend to achieve very high precision in spatial directional delivery.

It will expand to a very large area, such as the size of the solar system.

Furthermore, security will not be a major concern!

If you present something too technically advanced all at once, it will be much harder to profit from it later!
Moreover, if the technology is presented too advancedly, it will make others very wary.

The technology that is first presented must have flaws and be highly dangerous!
That way, others won't be on their guard.

Yang Bo nodded after seeing the documents the elders showed him: "You guys resolve the matter on Devon Star first, then I'll come and sign the agreement!"

"I don't trust you old folks."

The other members of the elders were shocked by how bluntly Yang Bo spoke.

I'm speechless!

Of course, they knew that Yang Bo was right, because for these old nobles, anything that wasn't on paper or realized could be used as an excuse to back out!

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Barth had agreed.

The emperor didn't know when it started, but his relationship with Bart seemed to be growing increasingly distant.

Moreover, I don't know when it started, but Bart's voice became equal to mine!

He even had to consider Bart's reaction from many angles.

The emperor had considered this, partly because Barth was growing too fast.

On the other hand, the technology that Bart possesses is too surprising!
Because of Bart's technical direction, even the investment from the three countries did not make much progress, but unexpectedly, he made great progress!
And of course, there's Bart's influence!

A large portion of the nobility in the empire were centrists.

This centrist was neither an old aristocrat nor a new aristocrat.

The vast majority of these centrists were members of the old aristocracy who broke away from the old aristocracy.

It's quite similar to Barth's situation!

Within the old aristocratic class, only a very small minority had a voice!
Only about one in a thousand people had a voice, meaning that only one in a thousand, or even fewer, of the entire old aristocratic group. They determined the fate of this group!

These nobles possessed noble titles and wealth, but they had absolutely no say in the matter.

Because the old aristocracy also needed some nobles to inherit the titles.

To put it bluntly, these people are just tools for passing on titles.

Because a noble title will be revoked if no one inherits it!

Of course, there is also a group of newly nobles, but the royal family itself cannot accommodate all of them.

Because the royal family has only so many people and so many resources.

Of course, this is also a royal family tactic!

They will not provide long-term support to any particular new noble family.

To put it bluntly, the new nobility are merely tools of the royal family. Once they've used them, they're discarded.

The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing Bart leave the virtual conference room, because if Bart hadn't given in, there would have been even more trouble.

Now that Bart has reached an agreement, things will be much easier with the other nobles!
The nobles who suffered losses were compensated, and some noble titles were awarded.

For these nobles, no amount of material compensation could satisfy them!
However, the compensation for the noble titles will definitely satisfy these nobles!
These nobles knew that what was lost was already lost, and there was no point in arguing any further; they just needed to provide enough compensation.

Although Bart did not sign the agreement, the Elders' Council disseminated the contents of the talks through relevant channels.

This is to tell the other nobles that they should know when to stop while they're ahead!

Then the Noble Council convened a plenary meeting and unanimously passed a resolution to compensate the nobles who suffered losses with a certain number of noble titles!

As for the compensation given to Bart, that's a private matter.

Anyway, there are no secrets among nobles; everyone knows what Bart got!
But there was nothing he could do; Bart was now the Grand Duke, and it was Bart who had discovered this whole affair.

The Empire has officially denied the Alliance's accusations.

Of course, the Empire did not give a proper explanation, but only offered a high reward for the Grand Duke of Golden Oak and revoked the title of Grand Duke of Golden Oak.

Of course, the Grand Duke of Golden Oak's family was finished; by this generation, there were no more titles.

Then the property was confiscated, the territory was confiscated, and various companies went bankrupt, were liquidated, and then auctioned off.

Of course, these auctions are all arranged privately, so it's useless for anyone else to buy them!
Other nobles can also reap some benefits in this process.

For example, many properties owned by the Grand Dukes of Golden Oak.

Many elders in the property council look down on it.

At this time, Yang Bo had already returned to March Star.

Yang Bo publicly registered a research company.

This research company's business scope includes energy and biology.

Yang Bo wanted to send a signal to the outside world that he was researching interstellar life!
The interstellar creature cubs have all been captured by the professionals of March Star!
The reason why interstellar creatures can be captured is entirely due to their instincts!

March Star used a very simple method: trapping!
They used a lot of shielded boxes, and inside the boxes were artificial energy stones!

These interstellar creature cubs rushed towards the boxes!
Moreover, the outer shell of interstellar creatures can absorb energy.

Under radar illumination, these interstellar creatures appear as blank spaces!
Therefore, humans can easily pinpoint the location of these interstellar creatures.

March Star has enacted a special law prohibiting the export of any living organisms containing energy.

To put it bluntly, it means prohibiting any interstellar life form from leaving March Star!

In addition, March Star established an official research institution to study interstellar life!
This research institution is recruiting collaborating studios.

Furthermore, the regulations stipulate that the job can only be registered in March Star, and at least 30% of the applicants must be senior experts, with a minimum registered amount of 100 billion credits.

Moreover, these 100 billion credit points must be deposited in a designated bank.
Furthermore, the influence of senior experts is regulated.

An expert's influence is based on the application and citation of their technology and papers!

March Star announced the relevant proposal in just one day!
More than two hundred studios were established in March Star.

Each studio has a registered capital of 100 billion.

As a result, a massive amount of funds flowed into March Star on that day.

But this has nothing to do with Yang Bo!
Because Yang Bo is not an expert and has no influence rating!
Yang Bo is not in a hurry to publish any research results.

Because I've only recently become famous!

His own videos are still going viral online.

Wait until your influence and popularity have died down before releasing some research results!
However, after establishing a company, you need to set up a staff and recruit employees.

Yang Bo's social network is also very simple.

However, Su Wei and the other two did not have time to manage the company.

So Yang Bo thought of two people: Liu Jingxiang, his former boss's aunt!
Liu Zhijie had not been in contact with Yang Bo for a long time.

Liu Zhijie never expected Yang Bo to have such influence and achievements today.

The main reason Liu Zhijie stopped contacting Yang Bo was that Yang Bo and Wang Muxue were getting too close.

Wang Muxue is a general in the military, and she herself is a politician.

Naturally, we should distance ourselves from Yang Bo!
And of course, there's also self-esteem!
Because Yang Bo and Zhang Bozhen have a very good relationship.

He could only be considered Zhang Bozhen's henchman now.

Liu Zhijie was still very curious after hearing Yang Bo's story.

Hearing Yang Bo's request, he was quite surprised: "You want to start a company?"

"We do have relevant business needs!" Yang Bo showed the other party his registered company.

Liu Zhijie saw the company registered by Yang Bo.

This research company focuses on applications in the digital field, energy applications, and biological applications!

This would make Liu Zhijie a little curious; he wondered what kind of research this was.

"Are you planning to develop a drug?" Liu Zhijie asked tentatively.
"Of course not, it's something else!"

"They are interstellar beings!"

"I'm preparing to do research in this area!"

"I don't know anyone else who would run the company!"

"What if the company has research results or something in the future, and needs someone to manage them!"

"Back when I went to the Empire for the competition, it was quite good working with Sister Jingxiang and the others!" Yang Bo said.

"it is good!"

"Let me ask for you!"

"They've lost a lot of money in the stock market recently!" Liu Zhijie said.
Yang Bo had never actually learned anything about the two people, nor had he checked their memories!
"Huh?" Yang Bo was somewhat surprised!
"I also lost a lot, and Zhou Rui lost a lot too!"

"With the frequent terrorist attacks recently, we believe that security robots have a great future!"

"As you've seen, several robot companies have gone bankrupt."

"Then we invested in the security industry!"

"Affected by the recent events in the Empire, the stock prices of related companies within the Alliance have fallen for a month."

"The alliance is drafting new security legislation and new security standards!"

Yang Bo certainly understood what the other party meant: the new standard meant a reshuffling of the industry, and the market was very sensitive to this.

"Ugh!"

"I don't know what happened!" Liu Zhijie sighed as he said this.
Yang Bo was speechless upon hearing this; his former boss was truly unlucky!
"I'll ask around for you and get back to you as soon as possible," Liu Zhijie finally said.
Because he didn't want to get too involved with Yang Bo, and the more successful Yang Bo was, the more uncomfortable Liu Zhijie felt!
Whether in career or love, Yang Bo completely surpasses me; I used to be Yang Bo's boss.
