Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1302 The Schemes of the Karaya Company

Yangbo lived on a warship when he was in Karaya.

The next morning, Yang Bo arrived at the Governor's Mansion by fighter jet.

"Your Excellency the Governor!"

“Your Excellency the Governor!” The ministers of Karaya were waiting outside the Governor’s Palace.

Although Yang Bo was an hour late, these people still had fawning expressions on their faces!

There's no way around it, just look at those warships shining in the starlight above!
That's a testament to strength!

"Sorry I'm late!" Yang Bo was thoroughly impressed by Lisa and Vivian last night, so he woke up late.

"Your Excellency the Governor is a very busy man!"

"We just arrived too!" the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Security quickly replied.
"The main reason for this emergency meeting is that the warships are short-staffed!"

"Everyone, we need to think of a solution!"

"The fighting between Madhya Pradesh and the pirate alliance is currently very intense."

“Once Madhya Pradesh has the time, it will definitely target us.” Yang Bo said as he walked ahead, followed by a dozen ministers.

The dozen or so ministers followed behind Yang Bo, listening quietly.

Once in the meeting room, everyone sat down.

"I'll have to trouble you all with this matter!"

"And there's a high probability that there will be even more warships in the future!"

"Furthermore, my warship manufacturing company wants to obtain the right to import and export warships!" Yang Bo finally stated his purpose casually.

The ministers present were actually people from various companies.

Since there was no requirement to keep the meeting confidential, these ministers shared the meeting content with the senior management of their respective companies.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to worry."

"The issue of the number of personnel on the warships will be resolved soon!"

“We have started from multiple aspects, and the Empire also has the Federation. Every year, many people graduate from relevant professional schools, but very few are employed!”

“However, these two countries have imposed some restrictions on the export of these talents, so it will be a bit of a hassle for them to come to our Karaya state!” the Minister of Justice said.

The company behind the Attorney General is the financial consortium of the alliance.

The Minister of National Defense said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will legislate as soon as possible to resolve the issue of warship import and export."

The necessary procedures still require legislation, including having a bill submitted by members of the House of Representatives and then being voted on.

Then the Senate will vote.

The bill will only be officially implemented after it has been passed by both houses of Congress.

"Your Excellency, may I ask how you solved the problem of the energy engine for your warships?" the Minister of Culture asked.

“I’m really worried about this. Although there are quite a few companies in the Federation that can manufacture energy engines, they are mostly located in Madhya Pradesh!”

"And there is only one company capable of manufacturing warship energy engines!"

"If any of you have suitable candidates, please introduce them to me!" Yang Bo was planning to develop the energy engine himself, but he still needed to find someone to take the blame.

Because of the warship's energy engine, only four companies in the entire interstellar space are capable of manufacturing it.

One company in the Empire, two companies in the Alliance, and one company in the Federation.

The alliance between the two companies was also due to antitrust laws governing the alliance.

Otherwise, it would still be one company.

This Minister of Culture is also backed by a consortium from the alliance.

"Of course, no problem!" The Minister of Culture's backing is linked to a conglomerate involved in the manufacture of warship energy engines!
While warship energy engines are indeed strategic materials, they are not subject to import/export controls by any country.

Because those capable of building warships wouldn't use energy engines from other countries.

Because other companies won't sell the control program for the energy engine.

In other words, if the two sides go to war, the other side can directly control the control program of the energy engine!

Yang Bo wasn't really going to buy it; he was just making contact with the other party so that his warship could be successfully built in the future!

The outside world believes that the warship's energy engines were purchased from the companies they contacted.

"If you have any news, contact my secretary Vivian, and we'll discuss it in detail then!" Yang Bo said again.

"Great!" The Minister of Culture was so happy he was grinning from ear to ear.

Exporting energy engines can generate huge profits for the conglomerates behind them.

Furthermore, it will expand the alliance's influence in Karaya.

In Karaya, local forces now hold only 20% of the companies; the rest are affiliated with alliances, and are also controlled by imperial conglomerates!

There's really nothing we can do about this, because planets like Karaya don't have any special products to export.

In interstellar trade, they are completely in the position of dumping grounds for products.

Karaya is mainly known for businesses like gambling.

However, these businesses are actually backed by alliances and imperial conglomerates.

To be precise, many casinos and entertainment venues in the Federation are controlled by conglomerates affiliated with the Alliance!

This means that the alliance's conglomerates are doing business in the federal government that is not allowed by their country's laws!
Of course, there are also things like drug research.

Of course, these companies definitely don't have good intentions, because if you use their energy engine, it might fail you at a crucial moment!

Furthermore, these companies are ostensibly from the state of Karaya, so they could easily take over the warships.

Then these people will divide up John Lee's property.

So, while the people present outwardly treated John Lee with utmost respect, they were secretly cursing him as an idiot.

Because John Lee came from a humble background in the Federation, he was looked down upon by these people!

These people also suspected John Lee, but no matter who they were, they couldn't do anything if they were in John Lee's shoes.

Of course, these people also suspected that John Lee had the shadow of an empire behind him.

However, these companies envisioned an empire that could only be supported from behind the scenes.

And don't forget that many companies in Karaya also have imperial backgrounds.

Yang Bo signed some documents that the governor should have signed, without even looking at them!
Then Yang Bo returned to the warship.

The minister who had just attended the meeting turned around and went into a club.

There are still more than a dozen people inside the club!
“Our Governor John Lee is a bit incompetent. He always rushes to the planet and then rushes away again!” As the group entered a room and found seats, one of them chuckled and said.

"He's just afraid of dying!"

"What else does he have besides warships?"

He also has two women.

"Hahaha!!" The group of more than thirty people burst into laughter.

These people actually looked down on John Lee because he used to be just a shareholder in a company!

How many people are under the control of the shareholders of a small company?

Moreover, the shareholders of this small company are now acting like they're above everyone else, pointing fingers and telling everyone what to do. "I have to say, John Lee is quite capable when it comes to fighting."

"Isn't this perfect opportunity for him to fight abroad? The more warships he brings back now, the worse the retaliation he'll face from the Madhya Pradesh and the pirate alliance will be."

"There is no way we could lay a hand on His Excellency the Governor."

"Of course, the only ones capable of attacking our Governor are the Maharajas or the Pirate Alliance."

"John Lee is still wary of us. We have no way of knowing what's on his two Class B warships!"

"Can he stop us?"

In fact, these companies had long been trying every means to place people around John.

In Vivi An's secretariat, these companies have placed several women there.

In addition, there were some alumni and people from these companies that Lisa invited.

"We need to speed things up. We have too many warships and too few personnel!"

"Actually, we don't need to rush now. We should wait until John Lee's warship dock is completed and there are finished warships before we take action!"

"We'll definitely have to wait until the dock is built!"

"The Empire will be counting on you then!" said the head of a company with alliance ties.

"Don't worry about that. The one who's colluding with John Lee is most likely our Emperor!"

"Over the years, the emperor has been trying every means to engage in some underhanded activities outside the capital."

"The warship that Bart acquired from Pandora disappeared en route; it must have been taken over by the Emperor."

"These warships might end up in our Karaya state later."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

"I think we have a few main tasks right now. The first is to quickly fill the fleet with manpower. These people will need an adaptation period after they get on the warships."

"The second is to plant people around Lee John. Lee John is quite wary, and his closest companions are still two women. Besides, he doesn't usually live on the planet!"

"The third is the energy engine; your alliance should contribute to that."

"Fourth, we must expedite the supply of materials and strive to complete the construction of John Lee's warship dock as soon as possible!"

“I also feel that we need to speed things up. The more warships John Lee brings back, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.”

"Given the economic level of our state of Karaya, we certainly cannot maintain a large number of warships in the long term."

“I also think we need to hurry. Who knows when the war between Madhya Pradesh and the Pirate Alliance will end? Once it ends, we need to push John Lee out.”

“Make him take all the responsibility, so that Madhya Pradesh can’t take action against us.”

"Otherwise, Madhya Pradesh might just come up and seize our fleet."

"Ok!"

“We need to restrict and control John Lee through various means.”

"Okay!!" Everyone present nodded in agreement.

These people have been in Karaya for many years, and their interests have long been clearly defined.

John Lee's sudden emergence made him the common enemy of these people, but John Lee was too strong and possessed so many warships, so these people could only deal with him slowly.

And John Lee gave them many opportunities.

John Lee's actions were seen as idiotic by these people.

Of course, these people also knew that John Lee was helpless!

These people had planned this all along, intending to use outsiders to get rid of John Lee.

Yangbo has left Karaya, and the federal intelligence agencies have not yet responded.

Meanwhile, the Pirate Alliance has begun organizing pirate groups to prepare for attacks on most of the mineral planets belonging to the Central State Consortium.

After returning to March Star, Yang Bo went to the underground laboratory of the villa to look at the mutated animals he had been raising.

Yang Bo's laboratory is filled with gerbils, followed by attribute-less mutated leeches, insects that can gnaw on warship armor, and interstellar creatures.

"Where did the Red Earl's men get these insects from?!"

"Could it be that the Red Earl also controls a planet?"

"Are there similar insects on Green Demon Star?" Yang Bo wondered.

Yang Bo knew his guess was a bit bold, but it was still fairly logical!

Because these mutated insects are not bred in a laboratory, but grow naturally!
This means that there are other planets with such mutated insects.

The chances of insects mutating are the lowest!

Although the number of insects is very large.

However, Yang Bo did not find any other planets from the existing information!

"What kind of planet could give birth to such insects?" Yang Bo looked at the three insects trapped inside the ceramic device.

There used to be only one bug, but last time we seized three bugs from Earl Red!
That's Zhang Sen's villa.

In other words, there is probably a population of this kind of insect on the Red Earl's side.

I won't go into how strong the defensive capabilities of warship armor are.

These insects can gnaw a hole in a warship's armor in a very short time.

Most importantly, this insect itself has very little energy.

The most crucial feature of this insect is its ring of fine teeth.

The hole that the bug drilled in the warship's armor would require tens of thousands of times more energy than the bug itself to cut through it using energy.

"The place where this insect lives must be extremely dangerous."

"Moreover, this insect has achieved the highest energy utilization rate."

"Could it be that the Red Earl Organization is not as simple as it seems on the surface!"

"Is there possibly another mysterious organization?" Yang Bo released spiritual seeds from all three insects.

However, these insects have very vague memories, and their intelligence is not very high, only slightly higher than that of some ordinary insects.

Yang Bo thought about it for a moment and then stopped thinking about it, because he had already made arrangements to deal with Earl Red.

They are already monitoring the Grand Duke of Golden Oak's shop!

In the past few days, Yang Bo observed through the store manager of the Golden Oak Grand Duke store that the Golden Oak Grand Duke is just like a conscientious small business owner.

There wasn't a single flaw to be found.

Moreover, the people the Grand Duke of Golden Oak frequented were mostly from the surrounding shops, and of course, these shop people were arranged by the Grand Duke of Golden Oak!
After Yang Bo came up from the basement, he saw a message on his wristwatch from Liu Jingxiang, saying that other companies wanted him to be their spokesperson.

Su Wei and the other two are resting. These three have been working very hard, training in superpowers and mecha, and also trying to learn other things in their spare time!
"It's the rainy season again!!" Yang Bo only realized that it was raining heavily outside after he got into the smart flying car and left the villa.

This kind of weather has a significant impact on energy weapons.

Yang Bo arrived at the underground parking garage where the company was located.

The property where the company is located has been bought by Yang Bo. It is a five-story building with an overall construction level equivalent to a fortress.

"Welcome, boss!!" As soon as the elevator doors opened on the fifth floor, Yang Bo saw his employees lined up to welcome him.
