Swallowing the Stars: I, the New Master of Babata

For no other reason than that.

It's about choosing.

Those who can't do anything should just go to the sidelines and coast along. If they really can't stand it, they can go back to their own families to retire.

Those who are truly capable should be nurtured based on the circumstances, and those with exceptional abilities may be considered for promotion to trusted confidants.

After all, Dong Qing needs to cultivate regularly and even prepare to step into the vast universe to see the immensity of the cosmos. The Planetary Security Defense Council needs someone they can trust to keep an eye on things.

Leaving aside Lei Lei, the Witcher Yao Rao and the Moon Witch Jiang Fang also shared a bed. Isadora and Vinina Bolena owed Dong Qing a favor, so they could be trusted to some extent.

But not enough.

The Planetary Security Defense Council brings together elites from the five major powers and the HR Alliance.

There's no way those few people can keep the Planetary Security Defense Council in check.

Dong Qing needs more trusted confidants.

People around him whom he can trust.

.......

The meeting room was quiet.

After Dong Qing asked the question.

Miss Wang from the Wang family in Kyoto Base City was the first to stand up and speak.

As he spoke, he glanced at the other eleven young ladies present.

"Your Majesty, we are all here, ready to serve you at any time!"

Perhaps this is what Ms. Wang is doing.

It inexplicably has some palace intrigue elements.

But Ms. Wang, who was already thirty years old, was no longer seventeen or eighteen or in her twenties. She knew very well what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this was; for others, even seeing Dong Qing was as difficult as climbing to heaven.

However, with the help of their families, they had the opportunity to work alongside Dong Qing. Even if they were not valued by Dong Qing in the end and could not enter the inner circle, working alongside Dong Qing was their greatest asset.

Just like the close advisors to the emperor in ancient times.

Regardless of whether the other party is a trusted confidant of the emperor.

As long as one holds the position of a close advisor.

Then one can use a trivial matter as a pretext.

"Let's not talk about effectiveness for now. I want to know what the upper limit of each of your abilities is."

Dong Qing didn't give Miss Wang a second glance because of her initiative, but he also didn't feel any dissatisfaction towards her because of it.

There are too many, far too many.

Too many people are flattering him!

Some say that when you succeed, you are surrounded by good people. This statement is indeed true. Dong Qing could only feel kindness and flattery because no one dared to show malice in front of him.

But Dongqing is not a human being in this life. He has a present life and a past life. Now he stands on the cloud, looking down on billions of living beings, but he has not forgotten that in his past life he was also just one of the billions of living beings.

"On the way here, Speaker Isadora already told me the purpose of your visit."

Dongqing spoke, but his voice was not loud.

But the entire conference room fell silent. "You are all core members of the twelve families of the HR Alliance. Your families are all outstanding, and you yourselves are the most outstanding young ladies in your respective families."

Speaking of it.

Dong Qing paused slightly.

"But I don't need decorative vases!"

"I need truly capable and efficient individuals!"

Upon hearing this...

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, and the twelve ladies from the HR Alliance each had a different expression.

Miss Wang smiled slightly, and Xu Xin cautiously raised her head and glanced at Dong Qing.

"so......"

Dong Qing continued, "I will give you a fair chance!"

He held out his hand, and the staff behind him immediately handed him a document.

Dong Qing placed the document on the table and tapped the cover lightly with his finger.

"I need each of you to develop a business plan. This business plan isn't about how much money you make for me, but rather I want to see your ability to leverage money to integrate resources."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, money doesn't mean much to me. Ordinary people may not understand, but I think you can relate, because none of you here are short of money."

Speaking of money.

Most people's understanding of it is simply about buying things.

However, the essence of money is to serve as a general equivalent.

Theoretically speaking.

Money is also a commodity; it is both a symbol of social power and a medium for capital accumulation.

Money is a product of the collective and, as a general equivalent, is exchanged and circulated with other commodities.

simply put.

A society where only one person needs money doesn't need it, because having money is useless.

Money only has exchange value when millions of people come together.

Since Dongqing is determined to lead human civilization out of Earth and into the vast universe, there are some things that must be considered in advance.

The seven permanent members of the Planetary Security Defense Council, the five major powers, and the HR Alliance are already working on forming the seven fleets of the Space Force.

However, a force that only has military power but no commerce is not qualified.

Such a militaristic and aggressive force has no way to recover its own strength.

and so.

Dong Qing wanted to see if these wealthy young ladies from the various families of the HR Alliance possessed corresponding business acumen and resource integration capabilities on a cosmic level.

It would be best to have one, but it doesn't matter if you don't. At most, it's just to appease the twelve families of the HR alliance by arranging a job that allows you to slack off, and then you can slowly learn how to serve tea and water.

However, some things cannot be said outright, and the enthusiasm that needs to be mobilized should still be mobilized.

Now Dongqing just hopes there aren't too many vases; he really has no interest in vases.

Whether it's Lei Lei, the Witch Hunter Yao Rao, or the Moon Witch Jiang Fang, they all have their own unique characteristics and distinctive features.

Even Isadora and Vinina Bolenas, whom Dongqing is currently supporting, are both powerful women in the business world.

"As per the requirements of the Azure Emperor, you all need to develop a plan for interstellar space, that is, cosmic commerce, within one month."

"I think you are all well aware that the Earth Defense Organization and the Planetary Security Defense Council were officially established after the conclusion of the global supreme meeting, and the space fleet is also in preparation."

"For those of you who understand the history of Earth's development."

"They should be very clear about the Age of Exploration."

The speaker was Isadora, the president of the HR Alliance. Having broken through to the planetary level, she looked much younger.

She used to have a few crow's feet around her eyes, but now you can touch her delicate skin.

"This business opportunity project is under the full responsibility of the Speaker and me. However, the winner among you will have the opportunity to work closely with the Azure Emperor and even receive his guidance."

When HR Alliance China President Vinina Bolenas said this, her tone was somewhat unwilling, but also helpless, because it was Dongqing's decision.

To put it bluntly...

Vinina Pollenas couldn't wait to replace one of the twelve noble ladies present.

No one understood better than her what a tremendous opportunity it was to be able to stay by Dongqing's side at any time.

"The Azure Emperor's secretary is none other than me!"

Miss Wang, from the Wang family in Kyoto base city, was the first to have her enthusiasm aroused.

She knew Vinina Bolenas well and knew very well that she simply didn't have the ability to break through.

Even a high-ranking war god like him, who is destined to be trapped and killed, is a member of the HR Alliance China Region President and the Bolenas family, one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance.

Previously, she could even be treated coldly because she was the eldest daughter of the Wang family, one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance. But now it's completely different.

Vinina Bolenas, who broke through the planetary level.

He was already a very important person whom she couldn't possibly befriend.

"The Azure Emperor is truly different. Does he have such a far-sighted perspective?" Xu Xin secretly glanced at Dong Qing.
