The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

After answering He Jiang's question, Lu Qianwei put down his chopsticks and looked at He Changfeng, asking, "How many retired Dongbang people can you contact?"

He Changfeng pondered for a moment, and after careful consideration, replied, "If the compensation and benefits are generous and reliable enough... I think there will be plenty."

But before there is a clear and certain victory over the U-Rebels, the number of people who would dare to take up arms and fight the U-Rebels is probably only two or three hundred.

After all, everyone needs to support their families. As long as we can barely survive, we Dongbang people generally won't cause trouble.

After saying that, he thought of another problem and frowned: "But if hundreds of people gather together... Yu-ren will definitely take notice."

Our location is too conspicuous; we'd better move to a secluded area in the suburbs to avoid being noticed.

Lu Qianwei shook his head slightly, a calm smile on his face: "There's no need to hide and go to the suburbs."

Register a compliant service company directly with the government, and have everyone registered as legitimate employees.

If you go to work and do your job openly and honestly, even if the other party becomes wary, they have no reason to deliberately cause trouble or find fault.

"That would be acceptable, but to be on the safe side, I think we need to find a second-class citizen..."

In other words, it's safer for a white person who is not a direct descendant of a U.S. citizen to register a company.

"This way, we can avoid conflict and also prevent those 'government' personnel from taking advantage of us Dongbang people to make more money!"

"That sounds pretty frustrating," Lu Qianwei said casually, chewing his food.

"There's nothing wrong with doing this, but have you found a reliable person?"

“Yes!” He Changfeng nodded emphatically. “I know this person well. He lives in this neighborhood, just two buildings away. We see each other all the time.”

He put down his chopsticks and slowly revealed the man's background: "He's a local white man named Yuri."

He settled here long before the cataclysm and later married a woman from our Eastern tribe.

"This person is honest and upright by nature, insightful, not snobbish, and never gets involved in the filth of the rich and powerful... He is a cautious and discreet person."

Lu Qianwei pondered for a moment upon hearing this, and then nodded in agreement.

"Let's go with him! We'll go find him tomorrow."

The group said no more, quickly finished their meal, and tidied up.

A night passes in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, as dawn broke, the streets of Saco remained as deserted as ever.

Last night, U-Theatre suddenly declared martial law, and the previous extortion had already caused widespread panic.

Now that armored vehicles and guns are patrolling the streets, who would be foolish enough to set up a stall and get into trouble?

They would feed the steamed buns they made at four or five in the morning to the dogs, so that the U-Ren people wouldn't get to eat them for free.

Pooh!

Of course, even though the breakfast stalls were closed and the place looked deserted, people who needed to go to work still went.

After quickly washing up, He Changfeng took Lu Qianwei out to look for the person.

Because Yuri drove away U-Man, scaring away the vast majority of business owners, Yuri, a former automotive engineering designer, has never had a decent, legitimate job.

To make a living, he works odd jobs at a repair shop at the street corner.

Repairing trucks and inspecting machinery, earning a meager living through their skills, are the most common low-income workers in this neighborhood.

The two walked through several familiar narrow alleys and soon arrived at the old repair shop at the street corner.

The shop was already open in the early morning, with the tin shutter half-drawn. The shop was filled with messy car repair parts, oil and equipment, and there was a faint smell of rust and oil in the air.

A slightly stocky middle-aged white man, wearing oil-stained work clothes, was fiddling with the wiring of a car.

"Is Yuri free?"

"I need to talk to you about something!" He Changfeng greeted him softly.

Yuri slid out from under the car, rolling his eyes. "I was just busy, wasn't I?"

He said that, but he still got up, wiped the engine oil, and came to the two of them.

"What happened to your truck?" Yuri asked, puzzled.

"No, that's not it." He Changfeng shook his head. "I'm looking for you because I'm planning to introduce you to a job."

"Can you find me a job?" Yuri asked suspiciously.

Given the racial discrimination imposed by the Yu-lao, he didn't believe that the Dongbang people could do any good jobs.

Naturally, it's even less likely that they would think the job the other party is introducing is a good one.

They had already resolved it internally, but he was still quite willing to listen.

However, upon hearing this, he felt it was worth a try.

He only needs to pay 1 yuan a month to register a company with the government and register it under his name.

"Are you sure you want to register a service company? Not anything else?" Yuri asked Lu Qianwei and He Changfeng again to confirm.

"Of course!"

"If those rich guys weren't so good at extorting and exploiting us, we wouldn't have come looking for you, would we?" He Changfeng retorted.

"That's true, what Youlao has done these past two years has really been unethical."

Yuri spoke angrily, saying that his wife was also from Dongbang and was being mistreated at work every day.

She complained every day, so Yuri naturally didn't have a good impression of Yuri either.

But if he had a monthly salary of 1, he could easily get his wife to quit that damn job.

"Okay! Let's do it that way!"

"You won't regret your choice." Lu Qianwei smiled and took out 1 yuan from his pocket.

"This is your salary, paid in advance. We won't renege on our payment."

"Hahaha, you Dongbang people are the most trustworthy!"

"Let's go! We can go right now!"

In cities under U-rule, establishing a company does not require owning buildings or similar items.

Take out 200,000 yuan, get a stamped official document, and this group of people will take you anywhere you set up a company.

"Alright, I'm going to find my wife now!"

After handing a stack of documents to He Changfeng, Yuri didn't ask them what to do. He took the 10,000 yuan from his pocket and went to find his wife.

"So what land is available for purchase in Sacco City?" Lu Qianwei asked.

“That’s a lot!” He Changfeng said in a deep voice, “Sacco City is in a mess right now. Many foreign business owners have run away with the money.”

“There are plenty of empty factory buildings and idle company sites in the city. As long as you are willing to pay, Youlao can provide us with a ready-made legal company.”

"But we're not really doing business, so there's no need for us to gather in the city."

The more prosperous the area, the easier it is for Uber to monitor its accounts and exploit its loopholes.

"So in my opinion, the suburbs are the most suitable."

Do you have any good spots in the suburbs?

He Changfeng nodded and pointed towards the outskirts of the city, "When I was hauling goods before, I saw a large abandoned car park on the western outskirts of Sacco City."

The site is large enough, surrounded by walls, and contains empty factory buildings and storage warehouses—enough to support several thousand employees.

"That area is basically half abandoned now, and the patrol teams of the U-Mans rarely go there."

Lu Qianwei's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately nodded and made the decision: "Then let's go over there!"

"Let's go take a look now."

If it's suitable, we'll take it over and use it as our company's actual headquarters.

Having said that, the two of them didn't linger any longer, turned around and walked out of the old repair shop, heading straight for the outskirts of Saco.

Upon arriving at the abandoned car park, the entire factory area was desolate, with no buildings in sight.

Lu Qianwei was very satisfied at first glance.

The entire factory area is extremely spacious and vast, covering a huge area. It is surrounded by a complete high wall, making it very difficult for outsiders to see what is happening inside.

The yard is a standard large-scale scrap car recycling plant, densely packed with layers of scrapped vehicles, including flattened cars, rusted trucks, and broken mechanical frames.

"The location is great, this is the one."

Having decided to buy, the two pushed open the door and went inside. Soon, guided by several employees, they found the private owner of the place.

The owner's name is Karen, a middle-aged white man. After U-Theatre came, the abandoned cars were recycled at rock-bottom prices every day.

This should have been a happy occasion, but instead, the car was dismantled and the metal recycled.

But he had no other options!

Having suffered losses for years and already in dire straits, he's now eager to sell and cut his losses as soon as possible when someone offers to buy.

Upon seeing that he was from Dongbang, Karen's enthusiasm remained undiminished, his face beaming with eagerness, and he decisively held up five fingers.

"The entire site, factory buildings, equipment, and land, all bundled together for a flat price of five million!"

He Changfeng frowned on the spot, almost laughing in anger at the price, which was an outrageous exorbitant demand.

“I know your factory’s situation. Nobody wants the metal, and you’re barely making any profit from recycling. And you still want 500 million?”

"Do you think it's the previous government?"

"Hmph, the previous government wouldn't have sold it so cheaply."

"Five million is already the lowest price!"

Do you think I believe that?

"One million, otherwise I don't want it!" He Changfeng immediately tried to lower the price.

"Impossible!" Karen refused decisively.

The two talked back and forth, engaging in a back-and-forth negotiation, until their throats were dry.

After several rounds of debate, Karen gritted her teeth and settled on a total price of two and a half million.

"Then let's make it 250 million!" Lu Qianwei felt that this number was not a bad deal.
