Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1317 Shame
"Thank you!" Catherine had long since developed a psychological dependence on Bart.

In fact, Catherine had already developed a dependence on Zhang Sen while she was at Zhang Sen's villa.

Because at that time Catherine had nowhere to go and was facing repeated terrorist attacks from the Red Earl, she escaped by hiding in Zhang Sen's villa!
At that time, Yang Bo had to go to other places to do things, so Catherine was often alone there!
So Catherine was actually very happy every time Zhang Sen appeared.

If she doesn't appear, Catherine will be trapped and die in the safe house!
Of course, it's also possible that it will be abandoned!
After learning that Bart had impersonated Zhang Sen, Catherine lost all interest in running away.

Because even if he ran, he couldn't outrun the Red Earl's pursuit, but staying by Grand Duke Bart's side was perfectly fine.

Although the Red Earl terrorist organization is very powerful, it still doesn't have much of an advantage when facing truly powerful forces.

The Imperial Dukes wield even greater influence.

"Yes!" Yang Bo nodded.

Yang Bo has no way to deal with his various identities for the time being.

It's too difficult to integrate these different identities.

Yang Bo mainly wanted to see if Catherine had any side effects. It seems there are no side effects at all; on the contrary, her temperament has changed even more.

Of course, it's still a short time, only twenty days.

Although Yang Bo possessed the spiritual seed, the information he received through it was based on Catherine's own feelings.

Then Yang Bo returned to the space laboratory, where he spent a day creating ultra-high temperature materials.

Then we went back to the manor and stayed there for another night!

The specific charter for the Space Technology Forum has not yet been finalized.

This is because it involves technology licensing and oversight from the Empire.

For this new technology to be widely adopted, the relevant provisions must be solid and reliable, and related issues must be addressed through legislation.

However, this is the first time that the promotion of space technology has been brought to the forefront.

This is a gap in the existing laws and regulations, so when drafting relevant provisions, we must scrutinize every single word!
Then Yang Bo returned to March Star!

He then discovered that Liu Jingxiang and the others had sent him a lot of messages.

It mainly concerns matters related to the interstellar biology academic website.

Although Liu Jingxiang and her colleagues manage the company, they have no authority and no experience in this type of management!
So Yang Bo called Liu Jingxiang directly: "Sister Jingxiang, I've already emailed you about the handling of the academic website!"

"First of all, the company has consistently refused to respond to any external inquiries."

"In addition, academic websites are not accepting submissions from other people for the time being."

"Let them say whatever they want!"

Liu Jingxiang was already reading the email Yang Bo sent, but after receiving the call, she said, "Some of them are saying such awful things!"

Yang Bo chuckled upon hearing this: "Just pretend you don't know, I don't need to refute them!"

"If it escalates to personal attacks, then hire a lawyer to sue him."

"Also, you should hire a legal counsel."

Liu Jingxiang was speechless when she heard Yang Bo's answer, mainly because those people's words were too nasty.

"OK then."

"When are you free? I'd like to treat you to a meal!" Liu Jingxiang said again.

"I don't have time right now, I have some experiments to do!"

"I also recommend you buy materials stocks!"

"Especially materials related to warships, you can certainly buy futures contracts!" Yang Bo added.
After the Pirate Alliance's attack on the Federation's Mineral Planet, the Alliance's materials stocks will definitely rise sharply!
Of course, futures prices will also rise sharply!
“Yang Bo, the materials market has been declining. It’s only recently that the Alliance and the Empire have increased their procurement of materials, but these are all using the material reserves of the two countries!” Liu Jingxiang was still a little worried!

"You can't go wrong by listening to me, quickly go all in, and raise the leverage as high as possible!" Yang Bo knew, of course, that something was about to happen!
"Then I'll listen to you, but if we lose money, you'll have to take responsibility for me."

"Hehe, just kidding." Liu Jingxiang decided to give it a try after hearing Yang Bo say that, and then she laughed after saying it.

"Hehe, as long as Sister Jingxiang doesn't mind." Yang Bo knew Liu Jingxiang's thoughts, of course; she was indeed interested in him.

And the other party regretted it?
Because Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin accompanied Yang Bo to the Empire, they not only witnessed Yang Bo's rise to power.

They also made a lot of money on the side, considering that the two of them didn't have much money at the beginning and even had debts!
However, at that time, Yang Bo and Su Wei, as well as Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin, had received education from the Alliance, so they couldn't accept Yang Bo with other women.

However, after several years of ups and downs, the two not only lost everything in the stock market, but also incurred a large debt!
Moreover, their mindsets changed during this process.

One reason is that they haven't found the right person, because 99% of the men in the alliance would rather choose a robot than a girlfriend.

Of course, robots can be male or female.

As for the remaining one percent, they might choose various animals.

On the other hand, Yang Bo is becoming more and more outstanding, and he has more and more girlfriends. Now he is not only financially independent, but also highly accomplished in various fields.

Firstly, in terms of wealth, they rank high on the list of young richest people.

Then, in the game, he also has a genius-like understanding and performance in ancient martial arts!
Yang Bo's circle is now so high that the two of them can only look up to him. The president and vice president of the Alliance Ancient Martial Arts Association, as well as Zhang Bozhen, are all people in the top circle of the Alliance.

Of course, the two of them suffered immense psychological torment while trading stocks!
Because every time I buy stocks, I lose money. I stare at the stock market every day, watching my money go down the drain.

The two of them went to the Empire with Yang Bo and got a lot of money, so they could be said to be financially independent.

After entering the stock market, the two of them lost money no matter what stocks they bought!
The two of them almost developed mental illness.

The Alliance's stock is traded on a 24-hour basis according to Star Standard.

So you're losing money whether you're open your eyes or sleeping!
The two owed a large sum of money, and Yang Bo lent them another sum.

"Hehe, I was just kidding, how could I possibly dislike you!" Liu Jingxiang felt inexplicably relieved upon hearing Yang Bo's reply.

"Just listen to me, and let Sister Kexin come too. If we lose money, I'll take responsibility!" Yang Bo said, going along with what the other party wanted to say.

"Okay." Liu Jingxiang nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jingxiang pulled Zhou Kexin to buy futures contracts for warship materials.

Moreover, the leverage was set to the maximum.

The reason the two did this was to lose as much money as possible and then hold Yang Bo responsible.

Of course, if you make a profit, then you've made a huge profit.

Yang Bo would play games on March Star when he had nothing to do, and also visit Prince Holden in the Second World.

On the third day after Yang Bo returned to March Star, sixteen pirate groups of the Pirate Alliance simultaneously launched attacks on eight mineral planets in the Federal Central State.

They also launched simultaneous attacks on two Federation patrol fleets. The mineral planet's defenses have a major weakness: slow movement speed.

Although there are more energy cannons and a sufficient energy supply, they are slow in movement and have weak defenses.

The pirate crew launched a concentrated long-range attack, targeting the mineral planet's transit stations and defensive facilities in space.

On the other hand, they attacked ground equipment!

Moreover, these pirate groups limit their attack time to the shortest possible duration.

They'll leave after they're done.

You don't necessarily need to destroy all of the other party's equipment; just damaging their equipment will suffice!
Madhya Pradesh is in complete disarray!

I never expected the pirate alliance to launch such a large-scale attack again.

Furthermore, the Pirate Alliance has publicly declared its intention to destroy all the mineral planets owned by the Madhya Pradesh Consortium!
It's not just warship-related materials; the price of all materials has increased.

Stocks of the Alliance and Empire-related mining companies skyrocketed instantly!

As for the related futures contracts, they have also been constantly triggering the circuit breaker mechanism.

Yang Bo watched the show from the sidelines. Although the intelligence department of the Federal Central State had contacted him again, he certainly wouldn't reply now. After he made his offer earlier, these guys still ignored him, which served them right.

The federal state of Madhya Pradesh has urgently requested naval support from other states.

However, it was rejected by other states because most of their armed forces belong to private companies, and very few of them have their own fleets.

Because these companies in each state cannot simply take out money for public projects!
These companies would rather spend their own money to buy armed spaceships than add warships to the fleets of various states.

Because the Star Fleet is public property, not only does the company not have command authority, but it also does not own the company!

Therefore, the planetary fleets of the various states of the Federation are extremely poor!
As for the federal central budget, the budget allocated to each state in the past was pitifully small, with most of it going to the fleet of Madhya Pradesh.

Besides, other states wouldn't dare offend the pirate alliance; it's just too damn scary.

They often operate in groups of a dozen or twenty pirate crews at a time!
Furthermore, these state companies mostly compete with the Madhya Pradesh consortium!
Everyone is hoping these conglomerates in Madhya Pradesh will go bankrupt.

Moreover, these companies would never risk their limited number of armed ships by provoking pirates!

Those were more than a dozen pirate crews!
There are nearly two hundred warships in total!

Who would dare to mess with these guys?
Madhya Pradesh urgently dispatched a fleet, but the fleet was too small because Madhya Pradesh feared that the pirates would use a diversionary tactic.

Of course, the star system where the Federal Central State is located is also very strong in defense, with several planets transformed into interstellar fortresses.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.

The fleet that was sent out was harassed by pirate groups again.

These pirate groups would harass you by firing a laser cannon from a distance and then running away!

These fleets, however, dared not pursue, because those who did last time had been tricked.

The commanders of the dispatched fleet were also afraid, so not only was the speed slowed down, but the support fleet did not go to the mineral planets that were being attacked by pirates or those that were not.

Instead, they went to the mineral planet that had been attacked, because these fleet commanders were afraid.

Because nobody knew exactly how many pirates there were, or whether there were any ambushes.

Last time, the fleet from Madhya Pradesh dealt a heavy blow to the pirates!
The pirate group was massacred, so the fleet sent by the Federal Central State did not dare to engage the pirates in a deadly battle.

As a fleet officer, there's no need for me to rush to my death. I can eat and drink well and have plenty of time to enjoy myself!

For ordinary soldiers in the fleet, not only do they have a lot of work to do, but their salaries are also deducted by officers. They only earn so little money, so is it worth risking their lives?

The various conglomerates and families in Madhya Pradesh were also furious, but there was nothing they could do; the federal fleet was only at this level.

Furthermore, not every consortium in the Federal Republic of Madhya Pradesh possesses mineral stars!

There are also many conflicts among the financial groups in Madhya Pradesh.

The next two weeks!
People from the Empire and the Alliance have finally witnessed a scene of Confederate fantasy.

On one hand, the various mineral planets were constantly resisting attacks from the pirate group.

On the other hand, all of Madhya Pradesh's major fleets are located in Madhya Pradesh!
They only sent two squadrons to support the mineral planet!

However, these two squadrons were slow and dawdling, following behind the pirate crew and cleaning up their messes!

In just half a month, the pirate alliance destroyed the mineral planet belonging to the Federal Central State Consortium.

Moreover, the Pirate Alliance has been updating information daily for the past two weeks.

Showcase those mineral planets that were attacked by pirate crews!

The Madhya Pradesh consortium has made a fool of itself on the world stage in the past two weeks!
The Madhya Pradesh consortium's fleets dared not be mobilized at all.

Two separate fleets? What a joke!

Everyone in Madhya Pradesh breathed a sigh of relief when the pirate alliance announced the end of the operation.

Of course, during these two weeks, the stock prices of the Alliance and related companies in the Empire also skyrocketed.

The first and most direct impact will be on mining companies, especially those involved in the production of materials for warships!

Another one is a mining equipment manufacturing company!
Because the equipment on these mineral planets belonging to the Madhya Pradesh consortium needs to be redesigned or repaired after it is damaged.

Most of these devices were imported from the alliance.

The most excited people during these two weeks were Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin!

The two of them bought futures!
And it's a hundredfold leverage!
That means a 1% deposit was used!

In the past two weeks, the two of them have not only paid off their debts with the money they earned from futures trading, but also have a large surplus!
Actually, Yang Bo had already analyzed it with Zhou Kexin when he went to the company last time!
At the time, Zhou Kexin was still somewhat skeptical, since Yang Bo didn't trade stocks!
I never expected that buying according to Yang Bo's method would yield such a large profit.

Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin insisted on thanking Yang Bo and wanted to share the money with him.

Yang Bo couldn't accept the money, so the two of them transferred it to Yang Bo's account!
The reason the two knew Yang Bo's account was because they had accompanied Yang Bo to the Empire before, when they were Yang Bo's agents!

Yang Bo only came to the company!

When Li Qiubai saw Yang Bo arrive at the company, she looked at him with resentful eyes!

I never expected Yang Bo, this homebody, to be so hard to handle!

Yang Bo ignored Li Qiubai's gaze.

"Yang Bo, you have to take this money. If it weren't for you..." After Yang Bo entered the office, Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin also came in. After closing the door, the two of them spoke up!
