Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 15 Blu-ray Technology
Similar to Earth, the Galactic Alliance also has many agency companies. Whether it is industrial and commercial taxation or interstellar network server leasing, you can leave it to them to handle.

Although this will cost more money, it is more convenient and faster.

As for the insurance agency, the problem was properly resolved with the help of Aliat, but the premium was relatively expensive, reaching 0.2% of the total sales.

Two days later, Brown suddenly found Fang Yan and asked him to go to his office. Fang Yan didn't think much about it and took the elevator to the top floor.

When I opened the door, I saw Brown making tea.

"Wait a moment, I'll show you some good tea I just bought, it's raw Pu'er produced in Jingmai Mountain, it tastes very sweet." Brown said.

Fang Yan walked straight to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looked out at the unobstructed view of Beijing below, and said, "It's hard to believe that you're just an engineer, not a leader, and yet you're assigned to the top floor office with the best view."

"Also, when I was registering my company, I discovered that the Alliance's Ministry of Commerce had a fast-track process that only registered engineers were eligible to use. I have to say, engineers have a very high status in the Galactic Alliance."

Brown invited Fang Yan to sit on the sofa, handed him a cup of freshly brewed Pu'er tea, and said, "What's so strange about this? Engineers create technology and civilization, so it's only natural that they should be respected."

"By the way, what did you name your company?"

Fang Yan took a sip of tea and said, "Blue Light Technology."

Brown pondered, "The nickname for the Earth is Blue Planet, the Light of the Blue Planet. That's a good name."

Brown didn't know that the reason Fang Yan named the company this, in addition to the Earth, was also due to the mysterious civilization in his dream. The most important feature of that long-destroyed galaxy was the blue giant star in the center.

Brown handed Fang Yan a document and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to find someone who understands management to help you run the company? I just happen to have someone to recommend to you."

"A few years ago, the Alliance worked with the Earth authorities to launch an elite program to select young people with the highest IQ and potential and send them to Pan-Galactic for further education."

"Li Muyun is one of the best among them. He is capable enough to do the job. He is on his way here right now."

Fang Yan took the information and nodded. "I heard that the Elite Program is funded by the government. Does Li Muyun need the government's approval to work in my company?"

Brown waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that. Li Muyun did pass the Elite Program assessment, but he ultimately chose to pay for it himself."

……

Fang Yan and Brown were drinking tea and chatting in the office. Since coming to Earth, Brown has developed the habit of drinking tea. If he doesn't drink two cups of tea a day, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

Fang Yan thought that if he had the chance to go to the inner ring of the Milky Way in the future, he might bring some tea as souvenirs for Ariat and others.

Not long after, Li Muyun appeared in front of Fang Yan and Brown.

He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, over 1.8 meters tall, slender, with neat short hair, and a black suit that was neatly arranged.

Fang Yan nodded slightly, very satisfied with Li Muyun's mental outlook and temperament.

"I heard that you studied finance in the Alliance?" Fang Yan asked.

"And law," Li Muyun said frankly, "I studied each major for two years, but ultimately didn't graduate."

"why?"

"I went to Pan-Galaxy to study, not for a diploma or recognition. I just wanted to do what I wanted to do and learn what I wanted to learn. Whether I graduated or not, or whether I could find a high-paying job after graduation, was not important to me."

This answer was a bit willful, but Fang Yan agreed with it very much.

It’s strange to say, but many geniuses on the earth have the experience of dropping out of college, from Apple’s Steve Jobs to Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. It has almost become a tradition.

Suddenly, Fang Yan stared at Li Muyun's face and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but think of a predecessor in his mind, a predecessor who was very famous in the Earth's technology circle. It seemed that the two looked quite similar.

"I might not be asking the right question," Fang Yan asked doubtfully, "Do you know Jensen Huang from Nvidia?"

"Oh, that's my great-grandfather."

"Where is Lisa Su, who once headed AMD?"

"It's my great uncle."

Fang Yan suddenly realized why Li Muyun could afford to study abroad at Pan-Galaxy and change his major at will. It was all thanks to his strong family background. At the current exchange rate between Earth dollars and Star coins, even if he lived frugally for four years of study, the cost would still be an astronomical sum, unimaginable to the average person.

"It's good to be a self-funded student." Fang Yan said with a smile, "If you are sent by the Earth authorities, you will have to work in the position they designate after you return. Even if I want to hire you with a high salary, I won't have the opportunity."

"Also, seniors like Jensen Huang and Lisa Su were both top figures in the tech world during the Old Earth era. As their descendant, you shouldn't have any problems connecting with people."

"My biggest hobby is sleeping. No matter how busy I am every day, I always make sure I get at least ten hours of sleep before I start studying and working."

"If you are willing to join the company as the general manager and help me take care of the daily affairs, then I can fulfill my wish and become a hands-off boss."

Fang Yan's words were like a formal olive branch.

Li Muyun was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Fang Yan to be so straightforward and decide to hire him after just a few simple words.

Without any hesitation, Li Muyun stood up and said in a very formal tone, "As the only company in the Earth Federation that conducts business on a pan-galactic scale and has alliance-level influence, it is my honor to work for you."

Alliance-level influence?

After saying this, Fang Yan himself felt a little embarrassed.

However, it is not difficult to see Li Muyun's character from this. Before coming here today, he must have conducted a very in-depth investigation of Fang Yan and what Fang Yan was doing.

Changing the subject, Li Muyun continued, "Boss, before coming here today, I had already made some preliminary plans based on the information provided by Mr. Brown. I hope to get your permission."

Fang Yan smiled, "Tell me about it."

Li Muyun said, "Actually, there are quite a few self-funded students in the Alliance Elite Program. Most of them have gone to work and live in other star systems in the Alliance, but some students have chosen to stay on Earth. I would like to invite them to join the company."

"With this, the company's management structure will be officially established. Based on this foundation, we will recruit professionals in finance, customer service, technology, and other areas. I believe the company will soon be able to return to normal operations."

Fang Yan nodded. "As the saying goes, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Those students who choose to work in the Alliance have made a normal choice. After all, everyone knows that the Alliance pays much better than Earth, and there are more opportunities."

"As for the students who stayed on Earth, they probably had some expectations for their hometowns, and wanted to do something for them with their own abilities."

"Those who are selected through the elite program will have no problems with their personal abilities. If they are willing to come and work, I would be more than happy to have them. Just follow your plan."

Li Muyun was delighted. "The students must be very happy. After all, everyone has heard about the spatial perturbation optimization algorithm created by the boss and admires it very much."

"One last question, when can I officially start working?"

Fang Yan thought for a moment and said, "It can be done today. The office and related equipment and supplies are already in place, but we don't have any employees yet. But isn't this too hasty? How about waiting for two days so you can prepare first?"

Li Muyun said enthusiastically, "I don't have anything to prepare. I wonder how far our office is? Is there a subway? I'd like to go over there and take a look first."

Fang Yan was stunned. "Subway? My office is on the 39th floor of the White Dome. I don't need the subway. I can just take the elevator."

After hearing what Fang Yan said, Li Muyun was shocked at first, and then he became excited.

"Working at the White Dome?"

"This is really great!"

Without saying anything, Li Muyun took the access card from Fang Yan and trotted towards the elevator.

Brown looked at Li Muyun's back and said, "Look how excited he is! If he comes to the office and sees the fifty sets of virtual helmets you bought, he will definitely be even happier."

Turning his head, Brown said to Fang Yan, "It's okay to buy a virtual helmet. After all, we need to communicate with customers from all over the galaxy frequently."

"But there's no need to locate the office in the White Dome, right? The rent for an office here is enough for you to rent a building in a prosperous area of Beijing."

Fang Yan had his own thoughts on this. He said calmly, "Humans are strange creatures with a need for honor. Just like the Libra badge on your chest, you always carry it with you wherever you go, and you wipe it several times a day, almost as if you're protecting your life. Why is that? Is it because the badge is made of a precious rare alloy?"

"Of course not, because the badge represents your honor and pride."

"Similarly, although the White Dome's rent is expensive, it also symbolizes that Blue Light Technology is not an ordinary company, but an interstellar enterprise with pan-galactic business scope. Its ultimate goal is to sell its products to every corner of the galaxy."
