Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 986: Life and Death Sign (actually 6300 words)
In the battles with the outside world, each shareholder of these companies in the Crimson Federation has to contribute manpower and manpower.

Although the company has its own armed forces, they are mainly used to target minor frictions or public security.

All large-scale foreign wars were fought by the private armed forces of various shareholders.

When these private armed forces are together, they are also assigned tasks separately.

Anything can happen in war, such as being ambushed or something.

Valerie's father was ambushed by the enemy during a foreign war because of his reckless advance.

Li John was in charge of the mobile force at the time, but the rescue efforts of the mobile force all had priority.

So John Li did not save Valerie's father immediately.

Valerie's father was killed in this war without even having the chance to pay a ransom.

So the two naturally became enemies, but the company proved in subsequent investigations that Li John's choice was correct.

In this kind of corporate structure, everyone has to take responsibility for their own mistakes.

Valerie's father didn't even get the company's pension because he disobeyed the commander's orders at the time.

If Valerie's father was beaten to death while following orders, he would receive a generous compensation.

Because the company has its own system. If no one obeys orders on the battlefield, what will be the final result?
And there are deeper things. No one can tell what some people are thinking.

Maybe he was deliberately disrupting the command rhythm.

As for what Valerie said about having fun, there are many ways to play, but as enemies, they usually choose force.

It's a bit similar to the duel on the Empire side, but the Crimson Federation side is more brutal and fierce.

"Haha, there's something interesting to watch!"

"I've been bored at home lately!"

"That's right. I have a lot of debts outside now, and I'm just waiting for the company's dividend this year!"

"I am also waiting for the company's dividends, and then I will buy a batch of new equipment."

“I think the development of the company is still the most important.”

"Bullshit, many people know about the Golden Lion City, and we are not the only ones who are concerned about it."

"I also feel safer keeping the money in my own bag."

"We have already occupied three-fifths of Black Star City, and the other two companies are eyeing us covetously."

"It is said that Maya's headquarters has sent a group of people."

"Blue Shield headquarters also sent a group of people."

"These two companies have no good intentions." Yang Bo listened to the shareholders talking in the reception room.

The other two companies in Vichy City are branches of large companies here.

Of course, these two companies are branches of a large company, but the relationship between them is just like a franchise.

If these branches need help from the head office, they should settle accounts clearly with each other.

Black Star Company has a total of seventeen shareholders, the largest shareholder is the Bobby family, and the remaining shareholders hold different proportions of shares, with the highest being 10% and the lowest being only 1%.

"I think the purity of the company's radiation protection drugs is too high!"

"I think so too. The sales figures of our radiation protection drugs have declined."

"I think the company should take the initiative. How about we bring some polluting organisms into the city from outside?"

"I heard that someone was smuggling anti-radiation drugs?" Then these shareholders talked about another thing.

Anti-radiation medicine, this is a medicine that 80% of the people in the Crimson Federation need.

Using this medicine can prevent you from being harmed by radiation.

The vast majority of cities in the Crimson Federation do not have a complete environmental purification system.

Therefore, the super-powered people in these places are constantly polluting the local environment.

There is a certain chance that some polluting organisms will be born in a polluted environment.

Although the probability is very low, the base number of many organisms is very large.

Moreover, these contaminated organisms will also be contaminated once they are eaten by other organisms.

The river in Vichy is slightly polluted.

So everything on this planet has a little bit of contamination, which is radiation.

Although air pollution cannot cause fatal harm to humans.

But drinking water and eating food, when combined, can cause serious harm to the body.

Anti-radiation drugs are controlled by major companies.

Although these anti-radiation drugs are cheap, you have to take them every day.

And you have to eat it unless you are willing to wait to die.

The cost of anti-radiation drugs is extremely low, but all the materials and production technologies of this drug are controlled by major companies.

If anyone were to privately manufacture this drug, they would be hit by local companies.

However, the phenomenon of smuggling of anti-radiation drugs between cities is extremely serious.

"Black!" Yang Bo silently evaluated the company in his heart.

In fact, the company's system is just more obvious, and this company has monopolized all industries in this area.

In essence, it is not much different from the Alliance.

It just means that there is more than one company in one region of the alliance, and the industry in one region of the alliance is controlled by many companies.

The company system is similar to the lord system of the empire, but the lords of the various territories in the empire have greater power.

"Let's start the meeting." The company's major shareholder finally arrived. There was no polite greeting and everyone entered the meeting room.

The company's major shareholder looks like a bald, yellow-skinned young man in his thirties.

He is nearly two meters tall, has very short hair and a square face.

Wearing a black leather jacket, he looked expressionless at the shareholders.

"Let me report the situation now!" The young man's name is Tate Bobby.

He is also the fifth in line to the throne of the Bobi family and the eldest son of the current patriarch of the Bobi family.

He is 42 years old this year, A-level, and is said to be a psychic psychic.

It is precisely because he is a person with psychic powers that he comes to the company to serve as the chairman.

"There was a hacker attack on Tianze Star of the Alliance. The security departments of the Federation and the Alliance have confirmed that the source of the attack was in Golden Lion City."

“The Union’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defense, and Ministry of Homeland Security have all condemned the Golden Lion City.”

"And the commander-in-chief of the Alliance's First Fleet said that it was our Federation's provocation to the Alliance."

"The special investigation team sent by the Alliance will arrive in Golden Lion City in twenty days to conduct an investigation."

"During this period, all superpowered people above level B in Golden Lion City are not allowed to leave the city."

As soon as Tate said this, a shareholder asked, "How does the alliance know who is in the city?"

Tate sneered when he heard this: "It's definitely okay for one person to leave, but they are in trouble outside the city and these people can't come out in large numbers."

"This is our chance."

"There will be a conflict between Golden Lion City and Vichi City eventually."

At this time, another shareholder asked, "Are the other two companies willing to participate?"

Yang Bo was speechless when he heard what these shareholders said.

In the conflict between Golden Lion City and Vichi City, the other two companies may not necessarily help, and may even hinder it.

Because the other two companies of Vici Cheng have long been dissatisfied with the fact that Black Star Company occupies three-fifths of the territory.

If the companies in Golden Lion City are willing to give up part of their land, the other two companies in Vichi City might welcome them to move in.

Between companies and within companies, the focus is purely on interests.

"You're an idiot. If you were from the other two companies, what would you choose?" someone asked back directly and unhappily.

"Our Black Star Company occupies three-fifths of the territory of the first floor of Vichy, and also has jurisdiction over the rivers in the city. The other two companies have long been dissatisfied. If there is a conflict with Golden Lion City in the future, I don't want the other two companies to join. They might stab us in the back at any time."

“Yes, yes, yes!” There are smart people among the shareholders.

People with super powers are like this, some of them may be very powerful, but they are still a little stupid.

Because the strength of superpowers has little to do with each person's IQ.

Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that some people do this on purpose. After all, there are all kinds of people in society, and everyone has different ideas.

"I suggest that we don't distribute the dividends this year, and use the money to deal with Golden Lion City." Tate said bluntly.

"How much dividend can we get this year?"

"I still have a large debt to pay off?"

"What are you going to do with the money?" the shareholders asked again.

When Tate heard this, he took out a thick document and asked someone to give everyone a copy. Then he said, "This year's dividends will probably reach 6.5 billion."

"Because time is tight, my plan is to hire someone."

"Hire some teams from the Free Mercenary Guild, the Adventurer Guild, and the Bounty Hunter Guild."

"Of course, these teams are mainly for gathering intelligence, but to take action we still need the joint efforts of all of us."

Yang Bo looked at the relatively simple battle plan in his hand.

The high-level superpower users in Golden Lion City cannot leave the city on a large scale, which means that high-level mecha technicians and fighter pilots cannot leave the city either.

Moreover, the company now wants to turn money into its own fighting power, but there is simply not enough time.

Because after twenty days, the alliance's special investigation team arrived and the company was unable to take any action.

There was just one thing that puzzled Yang Bo, why the Crimson Federation and Karaya State were so cooperative this time.

It may be related to the internal struggle among their top management.

Of course, the Crimson Federation’s management of the Karaya Gang is very weak.

Therefore, the Crimson Federation will not make any statement on this incident, because making a statement will have no effect.

Maybe the Crimson Federation actually hopes that Karaya State will not cooperate with the alliance.

Then the Crimson Federation can use the alliance to deal with Karaya State.

"Everyone take a look at the plan first, and then we'll vote on it."

"This kind of opportunity may never come again!"

"The resources of Golden Lion City are richer than ours!" Tate said again.

"A mob." Yang Bo looked at the shareholders in front of him and the battle plan in his hand.

I feel like this company is just a makeshift team.

There is no detailed plan or detailed explanation, and no comparison of strength between the enemy and us.

Of course, Yang Bo also knows that these are full of unknowns, and the company has to take it one step at a time.

You need to find out the other party's situation step by step.

"I abstain!" Yang Bo said as soon as Tate finished speaking.

Tate glanced at John Lee. The Bobby family was very wary of shareholders who held more than 5% of the company's shares. They were willing to win over shareholders who held less than 5%.

Because a company's shares are not static.

When Pete saw Li John's statement, he felt a little disappointed.

"Everyone raise your hands if you agree with this action!" After waiting for about ten minutes, Tate stood up and spoke.

Among the following sixteen shareholders, John Li abstained from voting.

There are also fifteen shareholders, each of whom has one vote, and there are no additional rules regarding voting rights.

Because the changes in a company's shares are sometimes quite large.

"Ten votes in favor, six votes against, and one abstention." Tate looked at the number of shareholders raising their hands and spoke.

"Does anyone have any questions about this result?" Tate asked again.

Faced with such a result, no one had any objection.

"The company will formulate a detailed plan next, and everyone will be required to express their opinions at that time." Tate spoke again.

If the company uses funds exceeding a certain amount, shareholders on the board of directors are required to vote by raising their hands.

Just like this time Tate is planning to hire a free mercenary group and an adventure group, so a vote will be held on the hiring fees.

Because this kind of fee can easily be tricky, although mercenary teams and adventure teams of different levels have quotes, it is just a price range.

"Oh!!" The shareholders' meeting ended so quickly, Pete sighed.

For some shareholders, they feel at ease when they keep the money in their own pockets and use it themselves.

There are also some shareholders who just want to make money safely and don't want anything else to happen.

But more shareholders still hope to make more money.

"Alas!" Yang Bo also knew that the war between companies was basically a head-on clash.

Because it is impossible for each company to command its own armed forces as smoothly as those of the alliance.

Because each team of the armed forces of each company participating in the war will give priority to obeying the orders of their own team leader.

For example, when Yang Bo led dozens of his guards to participate in the company's external battles, these guards would give priority to obeying Yang Bo's orders.

So in Yang Bo's view, the war between companies is a competition of hard power.

"John Lee, do you dare to play a game with me?!" Seeing that the shareholders' meeting was over, Valerie stood up and stared at John Lee.

"Oh oh oh!"

"There's a good show to watch!"

"Bet, bet!" When other shareholders saw this scene, they all started to make a fuss.

Because for these shareholders, if the two shareholders in front of them both suffer losses, other shareholders may be able to benefit.

"If you have the guts, let's fight each other ourselves. Whoever survives will own everything from the other!" Yang Bo responded indifferently to this provocation.

"John Li, are you serious?" Valerie hesitated when she heard this.

"I didn't want to get entangled with you. Your useless father didn't obey orders himself, and you still expect others to rescue him?"

"The company has already reached a conclusion on this, but you are just like your father, not only useless but also unreasonable." Yang Bo looked at Valerie and laughed!
"Li John, stop slandering me here. My father is doing this for the company. You are the closest to my father, why don't you save him first!" Valerie cursed when she heard Yang Bo say this.

"I like people who follow the rules the most. Your father doesn't follow the rules, so he deserves it. Stop talking so much nonsense, okay?" Yang Bo looked impatient.

"Okay, I'll bet my life with you." Valerie was so provoked by these words that she couldn't back down at all.

Valerie now felt a little regretful. The reason why she always had to cause trouble for Li John was because her position in the family was not stable enough.

Because his father has more than one child, there are other heirs.

His father died unexpectedly, and as the first heir, he never expected that he would be able to inherit such a huge mess so early.

"Then let's do it today instead of waiting for another day. Let's solve the problem today to avoid wasting time going back and forth." Yang Bo didn't give the other party too much time.

Originally, Yang Bo also wanted to find an opportunity to show off, because only when your strength is strong enough will people come to join you.

The other party offers to show himself to me, how can I give up such an opportunity?

As for the other party's calculations, I simply ignore them.

In the Crimson Federation, the bigger the fist, the more right it is.

People in the Crimson Federation like to say: There's no need to reason with the dead.

"it is good!"

"Finally, there's something fun to watch!"

"Get on the ring and fight!"

"Draw the lot for life or death!" other shareholders also shouted.

"Okay, then please ask the shareholders present to be witnesses, how about we have a life and death signing?" Valerie looked at John Li and gritted her teeth.

The life and death lottery is a way of playing in the Crimson Federation, which means randomly drawing a number and then the two sides compete against each other.

Gambling in the Crimson Federation is more rampant than in the Empire, with a variety of gambling methods.

Duels between people have become very common.

Animals and animals, bugs and bugs, humans and animals, in short, as long as there is a way of gambling in history, the Crimson Federation has it.

There are also gambling methods that are entertaining, such as female hand-to-hand combat matches, which feature a group of beautiful women dressed very sexy, fighting one-on-one or in a group.

"Okay." Yang Bo agreed directly.

Then Yang Bo signed a life and death contract with the other party.

The two people first draw a set of numbers to compare the size, and the person with the larger number draws the lot.

It turns out that Valerie's number is higher.

Then the other party started drawing lots. The Crimson Federation has such a system.

"Unrestricted bare-handed duel!" Valerie looked at the words displayed in the virtual projection, jumped up and shouted loudly.

"Lee John, you bastard, I'm going to blow your head off."

"Hahaha!" Valerie laughed.

Yang Bo still had a blank expression on his face. As long as he won, he would own the other party's shares.

"Then let's give it a try!" Yang Bo just said a few words lightly.

There is a venue for boxing matches inside the company, as various fighting competitions are often held within the company.

This method is also used to resolve conflicts within the company.

The diameter of the ring is 500 meters. With the help of his guards, Yang Bo put on fighting clothes.

The other side also wore fighting clothes. Because it was a hand-to-hand fight, neither side could bring any weapons or equipment.

“You bastard!!”

"I'm going to make you die knowingly!" After Valerie jumped onto the platform, she looked at Li John viciously. Then, a flash of energy appeared on her body, and her whole body swelled up into a giant three meters and five meters tall.

"Haha, you can't believe it!"

"You bastard, you never thought I had this kind of superpower!"

The opponent now looks like a giant, and his skin looks like rock.

"What kind of super power is this?"

"These should be two super powers?" Yang Bo muttered to himself.

"Bet, bet!" At this time the referee shouted loudly.

"I bet on myself to win. If I lose, the money will belong to others anyway." In the Crimson Federation, players can bet on themselves to win, so Yang Bo shouted out loud.

The other people watching around were originally upset because the superpowers Valerie displayed were too strong. If they all bet on her to win, they wouldn't win much money.

"Li John, how much did you bet?" Upon hearing about this good news, a shareholder outside the ring asked hurriedly.

"I bet 1 billion." Yang Bo shouted quickly.

"Bet, bet!" shareholders outside the ring shouted.

Then everyone saw Li Yuehan’s guard handing the watch to Li Yuehan.

Then everyone bet on Valerie to win, and of course a few bet on John Lee to win.

People with super powers can possess many kinds of super powers at the same time, but it is very rare for two super powers to be able to merge with each other.

Tate looked at Valerie's current appearance and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If Valerie beats John Li to death, she will own 11% of the company's shares. Then he will use some means to get rid of Valerie, because Valerie's current position is not stable.

By then, the Bobi family will own more shares.

The more shares you own in a company, the more say and benefits you will have.

Yang Bo looked at the female giant in front of him, it was simply too shocking to the eyes.

Many shareholders within the company became wary of Valerie because the superpowers she displayed were too strong.

"Everyone, take your positions!" The arena inside the company is quite simple, with a circle of walls made of battleship armor around it.

There is no energy shield or anything like that because the company doesn't have the financial resources to do that.

There was a sharp contrast on the ring. On one side was a three-meter-and-five-meter-tall black giant, full of explosive power, with strong energy fluctuations on his body, and his skin completely turned to rock.

The only bad thing is that he is naked, which looks unpleasant to the eyes.

On the other hand, the other one was still wearing clothes for unarmed combat.

"Start!" The game begins with the referee's shout.

boom! !

To everyone's surprise, there was a loud bang under Li Yuehan's feet, and a big crack appeared in the ground, and then the crack closed instantly.

Everyone was startled, but John Li reacted in time and jumped up before he was caught by the big hole in the ground.

"Insidious!" Everyone watching gasped. Valerie was too insidious.

At this moment, Valerie's entire giant body smashed towards the jumping Li John like a cannonball.

Obviously the other party had a plan. If John Li was caught in the big hole in the ground, then Valerie would just drop down from the sky.

If Li John dodged, he would be hit directly in the air.

Everyone stared with eyes wide open, expecting Li Yuehan to be hit and vomit blood.

There was not the violent collision that everyone expected, because just when Valerie's huge body was about to hit John Li.

Li John's body actually rose a certain distance again, so that Valerie's body passed under Li John.

And just as the two passed each other, John Li kicked Valerie on the huge head.

Valerie's head was kicked straight back.

Her body continued to rush forward due to inertia, and her huge body hit the armored wall of the battleship heavily.

At this time, two pieces of information appeared in Yang Bo's mind.

Crazy energy +32!

Earth element control +32!
