Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 985 Shareholders' Meeting (6000 words)
"It seems like Charlie might have offended someone!" Yang Bo ate fruit while listening to what the three women said, and then spoke.

"There are all kinds of things said on the Internet." Annie, who was wearing a sexy white suspender nightgown, nodded.

The three women dressed casually at home.

However, Su Wei was still dressed relatively conservatively, wearing a pink set of clothes, pants and pajamas.

Xia was also wearing a white short-sleeved nightgown.

"I also think that Charlie's political opponents may be targeting him."

"Tianze Star is one of the best in the capital circle in terms of security and defense in the entire alliance. Charlie was easily kidnapped, which means that others have long been familiar with his living habits."

"This is not something that can be done in a day or two. Someone must have wanted to deal with him a long time ago."

"I think he has offended too many people. With the things he has done, he has even offended people within the family."

"He deserves it."

"The politicians in the ruling party now probably hate Charlie to death."

"The alliance will be in chaos for a while, and there will definitely be elections next."

"Actually, elections are a good thing. During elections, these politicians will give out a lot of gifts in order to canvass for votes. Annie and I have received a lot of gifts in the past." The three women expressed their opinions one after another.

Yang Bo was very happy while eating the fruit.

By the way, take a look at the trend on the Internet. In fact, from ancient times to the present, it is rare to see real things on the Internet.

Just like the Charlie incident, the Internet is divided into several major camps. From these comments, we can see that there are many people behind the scenes.

Some people continued to whitewash Charlie, saying that the things Charlie said were impossible to believe because he was forced to say them.

Of course, the main purpose of these people using the law to defend the ruling party is to defend it.

Because Charlie is one of the more important figures in the current ruling party.

The other part is directly aimed at what Charlie said, not talking about the law with others, and expanding from Charlie to the entire ruling party.

And just now, Tianze Star suffered two major incidents, a hacker attack and an atomic bomb crisis.

And blamed both incidents on the incompetence of the ruling party.

There are also various conspiracy theories that Charlie was framed by his competitors.

There is even a group of people who target all political groups and communities in the alliance, saying that politicians in the alliance are criminals.

If you look at the same thing on different websites, you will find that the comments and stances are different.

Because these websites belong to different camps.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the ruling party is in big trouble in this crisis.

Therefore, the other two things that happened on Tianze Star were not very popular at all.

Women are also very gossipy. The three women discussed this matter with Yang Bo while watching the news.

While watching the news and discussing with the three women, Yang Bo was thinking about the follow-up development issues.

It’s mainly about talent. If you want to make a force bigger and stronger, you need a lot of things.

"But I'm not afraid. After all, finding management talent is just like finding a CEO. If they do a good job, they can keep working. If they don't, they can get out." Yang Bo knows his own worth.

He never thought about managing such a huge force by himself.

First of all, Yang Bo himself has no relevant experience, either in his previous life or in this life.

Another thing is that different regions have different management methods.

It would definitely not work to use the alliance's management methods to manage the empire.

So Yang Bo gave up the idea of ​​looking for management talents in the league.

Because the Scarlet Federation's model is different, if the alliance's management methods are used to manage the Scarlet Federation's territory, it will definitely not adapt to the local conditions.

However, the Crimson Federation also has a lot of talents. After all, the Crimson Federation’s model can be said to be more difficult.

Because the Crimson Federation has always been unstable, those who can grow bigger and stronger in this environment are all talented.

On the contrary, there are many mediocre people in the alliance and the empire because they have been peaceful for too long.

To put it bluntly, he relies on flattery to get to the top.

Yang Bo was not in a hurry to contact Zhang Bozhen because the Black Star Company in Karayabonwich City of the Crimson Federation was going to hold a shareholders' meeting.

Yang Bo knew about it through the spiritual seed of Xu Shun, Li John's butler.

As for what the meeting is for, Yang Bo is still unclear.

Yang Bo came to Li John's manor, and after coming out of the underground safe, he directly used his smart watch to arrange the itinerary.

When the big shots from the Crimson Federation travel, they are always escorted.

Because the Crimson Federation is in chaos.

Li John's manor is more than 200 kilometers away from the city of Vichi.

The wealthy people in the Crimson Federation like to live far away from the city.

Only in this way can you build your own manor well and take defensive measures.

Yang Bo will take a special armed flying car when he goes to Black Star Company to attend the shareholders' meeting.

In addition, guards will follow, and they will be equipped with mechas.

Six guards are carrying mechas, which means that these six guards are all mecha masters.

"Tsk tsk!" Yang Bo and Li John's armed flying vehicle were also surprised.

Because this armed flying car is so cool, the entire flying car is about 30 meters long and about 8 meters high, and it looks like a yacht.

The most eye-catching thing is the weapons on this armored flying vehicle. The radar is at the highest point of the middle mast.

Of course there is also a radar at the bottom of the flying car.

In addition, there is an energy cannon and a missile module on the deck in front of the armed vehicle.

There is also an electromagnetic gun and a missile module on the rear deck of the armed vehicle.

The entire armed flying vehicle is covered with battleship armor and is also equipped with an energy shield generator.

When Yang Bo saw this armored flying car, he knew how chaotic the public security in the Crimson Federation was.

It can be said that violence often occurs in various cities.

Of course, anyone who wants to cause trouble in various cities must be prepared to be hunted down by the companies in the city.

Because most companies in these cities of the Crimson Federation prohibit any violence.

Because in the eyes of these companies, everything in the city, including buildings, is the company's property.

Of course, this also includes everyone on the territory under the company's jurisdiction.

But once you leave the city, the wilderness is very dangerous.

Outside most cities of the Crimson Federation there are not only various armed forces, but also various mutated animals and plants.

The difference is that most of these mutated animals and plants have no value at all.

Moreover, these mutated animals and plants are extremely cruel.

Many of the various armed forces outside the city are supported by companies from other cities.

For example, most of the various armed forces outside the city of Vichi are supported by companies from several neighboring cities.

They did this mainly to continuously weaken the strength of the city of Vichi.

Although human life is worthless in the Crimson Federation, people are the most basic thing in the entire city. If a city has no people, then it cannot be called a city.

Of course, the companies in Vicchi City will also secretly support the armed forces outside other cities, on the one hand to plunder the other party's resources, and on the other hand to gather intelligence.

To put it bluntly, the Crimson Federation is a warlord rule, with small armed warlords in local areas and armed warlords on large planets.

The Bobi family, the major shareholder of Black Star Corporation where John Li works, has one seat in the upper house of the planetary parliament in Karaya State, and four seats in the lower house.

Li John's armed flying vehicle has a very cool name called Golden Skull.

In the Crimson Federation, no one keeps a low profile.

Because you think you are low-key, others will really think that you are incompetent and then they will attack you.

In the Crimson Federation, you have to show your strength. The stronger you show, the more others will be afraid of you.

John Li always brought six guards with him whenever he went out. The reason he didn't bring more guards was because guarding the manor was equally important.

Yang Bo got on the armed flying vehicle, and the armed spacecraft began to set off towards the city of Vichi.

The entire armored vehicle is golden, ensuring that everyone can see it from a distance.

In addition, the armed flying vehicle will continuously send its own unique signal identification in the public communication channel.

Let those blind guys know who is coming.

The flying altitude of the armed flying vehicle was not very high, only about ten meters above the ground.

Because the armed flying vehicle flies too high, it is easy to be attacked by long-range energy weapons.

Energy weapons, such as laser weapons, can attack at too long a distance.

The higher the car flies, the greater the distance at which you can observe and lock onto it.

If attacked by someone, the flying car will fly close to the ground.

The lower the flying car flies, the lower the chance of being locked.

Yang Bo looked at the hardened road, which looked like a highway on Earth.

This is because the majority of the Scarlet Federation’s material transportation is still done by electric vehicles.

On the one hand, flying cars are too expensive to build, and most cities in the Crimson Federation do not have the ability to manufacture them.

Another aspect is energy consumption. The energy consumption of electric cars running on the ground is only one percent of that of flying cars.

Another more critical point is that hardened roads are not easy to be set up with traps, such as induction mines.

Proximity mines are a type of explosive device. There are many modes of this type of induction mine, including biological sensing, thermal sensing, and energy sensing.

For example, if there is a hidden inductive mine somewhere, the inductive mine will be triggered when a car passes over it.

This kind of mine is not like the mines on Earth, but something like a missile that can track targets.

The main city of Vichi, that is, the area where the use of force is not allowed, is only about 6,000 square kilometers.

There are no tall buildings here. The tallest building is the huge armed defense tower in the middle of the city of Vichi.

The entire defense tower is seven hundred meters high and is equipped with more than one hundred and twenty energy cannons of various specifications.

There are also more than 20,000 missiles of various types and more than 50,000 drones of various models.

In addition, there are an unknown number of spare missiles and various drones at the bottom of the defense tower.

Every other building in the entire city is only three stories high.

The reason why the building is only three stories high is to facilitate the defense tower's energy detection system to monitor and attack the entire city.

If there are only tall buildings, it is easy to have blind spots for shooting. There are also a large number of guard towers around the city of Vichi.

The defense tower in the middle of the city is jointly managed by the three major companies in Vichi City.

The costs incurred are also shared by the three companies according to the area they occupy in the city.

Black Star Company occupies three-fifths of the area of ​​​​Vichi City, and there are two other companies, Blue Shield Company and Maya Company.

They each occupy one-fifth of the area of ​​the city of Vichi.

It only takes 20 minutes to drive a distance of 200 kilometers.

The city of Vichi is located on the bank of a big river and is a huge basin.

A large river in the middle divides the city into two parts. The area east of the river is three-fifths of the city area controlled by Black Star Company.

The west side of the river is controlled by two other companies.

There are five or six bridges connecting the two.

"Salute!" When Yang Bo arrived at the checkpoint in the east of Vic City in Li John's car, all members of the checkpoint immediately stood up and saluted.

These people are members of the company's armed department, which is simply private armed forces.

These people were wearing standard armor with a black star on the left side of their chest, which was the company's emblem.

The wearer's rank is displayed on the right chest of the armor.

As a shareholder of the company, John Li has absolute power in the company, not to mention the members under the company.

Li John's personal guards were also arrogant in front of these people.

"I thought I was back on Earth!" Yang Bo looked at the city of Vicchi and the various electric cars in the city.

There are street lights on both sides, buildings of various colors, and wide hardened roads.

Compared to the Wandao City on Devon Star and the city on March Star, this place is as backward as the countryside.

The company's headquarters is not in the middle of the city, but on the edge of the city.

The company's headquarters is a separate area surrounded by barbed wire and high walls.

There are also warning machine guns on the high walls.

Some of these warning machine guns are electromagnetic guns, and the others are old-fashioned gunpowder-driven machine guns.

There is a lot of reason why this kind of machine gun is used.

Because many forces are unable to develop weapon control systems on their own.

I don't feel safe using someone else's, so using simple manual control is the most convenient and safest method.

The company's headquarters covers an area of ​​approximately 500 square kilometers.

Most of the company's materials, goods, and factories are here.

There is also an airport for spacecraft take-off and landing.

Of course, this is also where most of the company's armed personnel are stationed.

The same mecha fighters and the like are also here.

"Director Li!" Yang Bo drove to the gate of the company headquarters. Other security personnel at the gate bowed and saluted, and the person in charge came up to greet him enthusiastically.

"Yes!" Yang Bo nodded. Yang Bo had already reported to the company using Li John's smart watch.

And Li John also has his own residence in the company.

It is a three-story villa covering an area of ​​about 5,000 square meters.

All shareholders of the company have their own residences here, although many of these shareholders also have their own estates outside the city.

However, Yang Bo did not go to Li John’s manor here, but went directly to the door of the company’s headquarters.

The company's headquarters is a circular building, and you can see that the surface of the building is covered with thick battleship armor.

There are various antennas on the company's headquarters building.

Because the company has its own satellites, including armed surveillance satellites.

"Old Li!" After Yang Bo got off the car, before he could even look at the company gate, a dark-skinned bald man greeted him loudly.

Yang Bo waved his hand to let the guards go to where they should go to rest, and then asked, "Peter, you are squatting at the door, is this company meeting going to be unfavorable to us?"

This dark-skinned, bald, muscular man is named Pete Loren. His superpowers are at level A, but no one knows what their specific attributes are.

"The company is not planning to distribute dividends this year!"

"Golden Lion City next door is in big trouble, and the company wants to take action against Golden Lion City."

"Not only are there no dividends, but each of us shareholders is also required to contribute manpower and effort." Pete nodded.

Pete only owns 4% of the company, while John Lee owns 6%.

Many resolutions in a company require the consent of a certain proportion of shareholders before they can be passed.

"What trouble is there in Golden Lion City?" Yang Bo asked curiously.

"Do you know about the hacker attack on Tianze Star of the Alliance?"

"The Alliance has found out that the source of the attack is Golden Lion City!"

"The Alliance has sent a special investigation team to Golden Lion City to investigate."

"Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs doesn't dare to say a word." Pete explained quickly.

Yang Bo asked suspiciously after hearing this: "Isn't that possible? Golden Lion City dares to provoke the Alliance?"

"Don't these idiots know that the Alliance has always wanted to take action against us?"

Peter shrugged. "Who says it's not true? But I think it's impossible. With the technical level of those bastards in Golden Lion City, they simply can't create such an advanced hacking program."

"If there were hackers of such high level in Golden Lion City, our company would have been gone long ago."

"I think the hacker attack on Tianze Star by the Alliance might be their internal matter."

"You also know that those damn politicians in the alliance are very concerned about their reputation. They will never admit that it is their own internal problem, because if they admit it, they will not be able to explain to their people."

Yang Bo didn't say anything when he heard this. The company's gate was not very big, and there were armed sentries on both sides of the gate.

You can see that these armed outposts are guarded by soldiers.

For companies, these talents are the cheapest.

Because developing systems requires not only a large amount of investment, but also continuous updates.

In addition, the company is also aware of its own technical level in this area, and things developed by its own company may be easily destroyed by others.

Even the entire civilian intelligent network system of the city of Vichi was outsourced to certain companies in the alliance.

The interior of the company building is only five meters high, and mechas cannot enter at such a height.

"Director Li!"

"Director Li!"

"Director Loran!" After seeing Yang Bo and Pete, the staff members inside the company stood aside to make way and bowed to greet them.

Yang Bo and Pete didn't care about these staff members at all.

"The company is overthinking it, since it is the Alliance that sent a special investigation team."

"If we take action now, will others agree?" Yang Bo said as he walked.

"All people in Golden Lion City, especially the top executives of their companies, are not allowed to leave the city."

"The company's major shareholder thinks this is a good opportunity. We can remove its peripheral resource points." Pete said as the two got on the elevator.

When Yang Bo heard this, he understood that the company was preparing to take advantage of the situation.

"This is not easy. There are nine congressmen behind Golden Lion City!" Yang Bo shook his head.

"Who said it wasn't? I think this matter should wait a little longer." Pete nodded.

Yang Bo finally understood that Pete's intention was to make him, as a shareholder, oppose the proposal at that time.

"It's safest for us to keep the dividend money in our hands and give it to the company for expenses. Then someone will make some money." Pete said in a low voice.

Yang Bo understood what Pete meant. In a company, although small shareholders have rights, they are not many.

There are so many places where major shareholders can get their hands on something because a company's expenses are so huge.

Pete and Yang Bo don't have any other additional industries, so the company is unable to continue with some orders.

The company's largest shareholders, their families own many industries.

Many times, many internal business of the company are handed over to their own family.

There are too many tricks involved, but there is nothing small shareholders can do about it.

Because small shareholders cannot fight against the Bobi family alone.

As for the small shareholders uniting to fight against the Bobi family.

This is simply impossible because no small shareholder will trust anyone else and no one will back themselves up to the other.

The two came to the reception room outside the conference room on the third floor.

Seeing the two men coming in, two fair-skinned and beautiful female staff members came up to them and said, "Boss Li, what would you like to drink?"

"No need!" Yang Bo shook his head. He didn't dare to eat anything outside, even though it was inside the company.

"I don't want it either." Pete waved his hand at the staff who said this to him.

The company would have a large amount of income from dividends every year, but now the company doesn't want to distribute dividends, Pete is not happy about it and has no mind to eat and drink.

"Director Li!"

"Director Loran!" There were already other shareholders in the reception room, and when they saw the two of them, they greeted them one after another.

Because John Li owns more shares than Pete, everyone who greets someone greets Yang Bo first.

"Director Yang!"

"Director Cage!" Yang Bo also greeted these people.

Of course, there are also shareholders who don’t get along with Li Yuehan and don’t even say hello to Yang Bo.

Yang Bo also knew, of course, that some shareholders were not just someone he could not deal with, they could be considered enemies.

Because a company involves many interests, conflicts are inevitable when everyone is fighting.

The conflicts on the Crimson Federation side basically result in death.

"We haven't gotten together for several months. How about we play a few games after the meeting?" A woman who was two meters tall and weighed probably two hundred and fifty kilograms spoke while looking at Yang Bo provocatively.

Valerie, one of Li John's enemies, Valerie's father died in a friction between the company and other companies. At that time, Li John was responsible for leading the rescue team, but Li John rescued another team first, so they became enemies.

"Haha, I just happen to be short of money." Yang Bo answered unwilling to be outdone, because if you show weakness in the company, others will bully you.
