Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Then, by accident, the news that Oswaldo, the old... predecessor, had been tricked was spread, and by accident, a large number of trending topics and online trolls were bought.

This inadvertently triggered a crisis of trust in the "Market Development Department" and Oswaldo within the interstellar market.

This led to a sharp drop in the net worth of the prospective director, and many of the stocks he held also hit their daily limit down.

Many people, including Potio and Sandgold, who had been ruined by Oswald, were so happy that they didn't sleep all night.

Mona's simple and crude approach to buying insurance has caused considerable dissatisfaction within the "Interstellar Peace Company" regarding Oswaldo, making it impossible for him to ascend to the board of directors.

Another objective fact is that these insurance companies must compensate, but even with the continuous collection and mining of memory materials, the company's reserves of memory materials are far from sufficient.

Even with the sheer size of "Interstellar Peace Corporation," after emptying its coffers, it could only pay a maximum of 23%.

It's important to know that this memory reserve represents years of preparation by the company for developing the Memory Court.

Now, without even having a single attempt, it's about to declare bankruptcy.

Worse still, if the debt is not settled by the due date, the interest alone would be astronomical, considering the amount of the compensation.

The "Market Development Department" often uses the same tactics on other civilizations, but this time, they've ended up getting the same treatment themselves.

As a result, Oswaldo Schneider, who caused the company huge losses, has been quite critical within the company.

He is destined to be ineligible to become a director. Even his position as a prospective director (P47) is highly unlikely to be retained.

The extent of the demotion, whether the individual retains some real power or is completely "retired," depends entirely on the final outcome of this incident.

The "Market Development Department" was already unable to handle this enormous mess, and then "Liuguang Yiting" sent a letter inviting them to join them.

Ultimately, the board of directors decided that the "Strategic Investment Department" would take the lead in handling this compensation, which the company was destined to be unable to fully pay.

Regardless of the outcome, Diamond will be officially promoted to a company director, reaching the rank of P48, becoming one of the most powerful people in the world.

After all, the strategic investment department is adept at handling the company's bad assets and liquidating debts.

The "Shi Xin Ten" are even known as debt management experts.

Although the previous cases involved debts owed to the company by others, this time the cases involve debts owed by the company to others.

It's somewhat rebellious, but let's just say it's not a good fit for your major.

It's pitiful for that old geezer Oswaldo; his fate even depends on the performance of his former rival this time. Only he knows how much he's suffering.

Diamond agreed to let Dragon Crystal use any means necessary, at any cost, with only one condition—that the debt be given some leeway.

Whether it's in terms of the amount, the interest, or the time.

The company never intended to renege on this debt. It had no such thought before, and now that it is about to face accountability from the "Genius Club," it is even less likely to do so.

The company doesn't have the courage of Lord Afrique, who can declare war on multiple fronts.

However, the company is unable to pay the full amount of compensation from these nearly 2000 contracts with exorbitant insurance premiums.

Long Jing: "'Liuguang Yiting' should also know that the company is unable to pay compensation, and will definitely make some concessions. An IOU that cannot be honored is no different from a bad check."

Zhenzhu: "'Flowing Light Memories' isn't stupid; they'll exchange this worthless promise for other benefits. It's just that this time... the company will probably have to make considerable sacrifices and concessions in other areas."

Negotiations were conducted, and both sides compromised. Yiting gained tangible benefits, while the company preserved its reputation.

Diamond: "Our top priority is to prevent 'Memory Court' from discovering our bottom line. We need to act swiftly and decisively. Once this banquet is over, the 'Genius Club' could launch an attack at any time, which will then become a bargaining chip for Memory Court in negotiations."

Long Jing appeared languid, but those who knew her well knew that it was precisely this demeanor that made her most terrifying: "It's nothing more than a bloodbath—except... this time the bloodshed is within the company."

"Don't worry... I will ask Yiting to extend the deadline and pause the compound interest. The biggest challenge now is not here."

Among the ten members of Stoneheart, Long Jing's methods were the most ruthless. Although his methods were somewhat extreme, the rewards were also the most abundant.

This time, however, her methods involved cutting into the company itself.

Chapter 310 Oswald's End is Approaching

Diamond nodded: "I'll have Opal put aside what he's doing to help you. There are no taboos, and as for the board of directors? They won't dare to hold you accountable."

If the board of directors dares to offer hesitant and evasive opinions, Diamond can simply relinquish this responsibility and let whoever started the trouble take the blame.

As for the "blood flowing like a river" diamond mentioned by Long Jing, he understood that if he wanted Yi Ting to make concessions, the company would have to make some sacrifices in other areas.

In the company's eyes, Yiting is now like a jackal. The jackal has already bitten its prey (the 'reasonable' compensation contract) and is starving (the Insect King's luxurious demolition plan). Without bloodshed, how can it let go without tearing off a piece of flesh?

But where this blood is shed is debatable; at least most of it will be shed by the "Market Development Department."

The remaining small portion involves another round of internal negotiations, exchanges of interests, and disputes within the company.

Diamond: "Pearl, you are now in charge of the talks with Screw Goom."

"Your task is now heavier than before, or rather, your original task is no longer important."

"What's truly important is to seize the opportunity presented by this Lord of the Screws' willingness to meet, and to probe the 'Genius Club's' attitude towards the Chadwick incident."

Pearl tilted her head slightly: "I understand. Being an android makes communication with him easier. But it's precisely because of that android identity that it's so difficult to extract information from him..."

Diamond paused, then said, "I'll do my best."

After saying that, the diamond and the dragon crystal pearl were about to begin their respective actions.

Diamond needs to rush to have a courtesy meeting with the memory envoy who is currently in charge of the "Radiant Memory Garden," together with Dragon Crystal.

After a brief meeting, I had to rush back to the company to hold an emergency board meeting to discuss how to deal with the accountability from the "Genius Club".

As for why we don't hold remote meetings?

Haha, "Liuguang Yiting" is isolated from the outside world. To communicate with the outside world, it needs a person with memories to act as a bridge.

Long-distance remote sensing cannot connect the inside and outside.

We can't possibly discuss confidential matters in front of Yiting.

On the other hand, as mentioned before, the nature of this banquet at "Liuguang Yiting" is actually similar to the martial arts ceremony held after the Luofu Immortal Ship was invaded by Huanlong.

It is an act of declaring to the public that one is safe and sound.

Naturally, some reporters would be invited.

Most reporters were on the outside, but a very small number were granted access to the inside.

And which groups are the few journalists who are qualified to enter this inner area most concerned about? It's hard to guess.

In other words, it means that Lin Yi's ultimatum to Oswaldo and the Black Tower's blunt declaration of war were more or less filmed and broadcast live.

This banquet had already attracted attention from all over the world, and this first confrontation became the first highlight of the banquet.

Who can blame geniuses for being so outspoken and inconsiderate of the occasion?

If you let the diamond choose again, he definitely won't come up to you.

The accountability measures taken privately, which kept the news under wraps and were known only to the company and the "Genius Club," are two different concepts from accountability measures that are known to everyone in public.

On the flagship of a large fleet, Sand Gold watched the news live and laughed heartily, even though the company cut the broadcast off in an instant.

"Schneider! You old bastard! You've finally met your end! Your days are numbered!!!"

He laughed so hard that tears were almost streaming down his face.

Because he knew that Oswaldo's days were numbered!

First, the exorbitant insurance contract for "Liuguang Yiting" caused the company to suffer huge financial losses.

That's not fatal.

However, Lin Yi's personal accountability to Oswaldo and the "Genius Club's" accountability to the company were the mountains that broke the camel's back.

The details of the Chadwick incident are unknown to the gold miner.

This disgraceful matter was highly confidential within the company, known to very few people, and Sand Gold had only been with the company for a short time.

But Sand Gold understood the company's practices and could see that this was a huge blunder.

If someone is wrongly accused, someone has to take the blame.

Now, Oswaldo has made a major decision-making error and is facing Lin Yi's accountability regarding the "Utopia" issue.

Without a doubt, he would be the most suitable scapegoat.

Regardless of whether the so-called Chadwick incident is related to Oswaldo.

All the subsequent 'evidence' will point to him.

The company will discard him as a pawn to quell the anger of the "Genius Club"!

"Director of Gold Plating? What brings you here?"

Sand Gold waved his hand: "Pass the word down, the entire fleet is to dock at the nearest large starport. There's no need to rush back."

"Then I will personally fund a grand banquet to reward everyone for their hard work today."

After the War of Plenty, the fleet led by Sand Gold was not disbanded. Instead, it was maintained due to the unstable situation and later had the mission of fighting the Zerg swarm.

They are only now officially returning to port.

However, the gold mine owner is not in a hurry to return.

He concluded that old dog Oswaldo wasn't stupid and could guess the situation. Given that old dog's cautious nature, he was bound to do something else.

"*Immortal Boat profanity*! This is huge gossip! What happened? Does anyone know?"

"Exactly, why is that Lone Star Traveler genius Lin Yi suddenly questioning Oswald? What did that beast do this time?"

"The news that the 'Genius Club' is clearly going to declare war on the company is even more explosive!"

"Don't talk nonsense. There was no declaration of war, just a threat. But who is Chadwick?"

"Here it comes! We've uncovered it! 'Genius Club' #79 Calderon Chadwick, specializing in solid-state physics and imaginary number applications. A genius who disappeared for a long time, but he had many collaborations with the company before his disappearance."

"666, that's incredibly efficient, like you've prepared this in advance and are ready to release it at any moment. But... um... before disappearing, they had a collaboration with the company, and now the 'Genius Club' is holding them accountable..."

"It's terrifying to think about!"

"If a company is good but a genius is bad, it must be the company's fault."

"We need updates! Why was Guan Guan's livestream shut down?!"

"Nonsense, this is the company's platform, how could we not ban it?"

"Attention, the company is whitewashing this; they're massively banning accounts discussing this and moving their operations elsewhere."

"The Flowing Light and Memories of the Garden" is truly beautiful.

"It's amazing that so many important figures were able to be gathered together all at once."

Am I the only one curious about that Lady Abyss?

The company acted very swiftly.

The live stream was switched in seconds, and a large number of accounts were banned, which temporarily suppressed the discussion about Black Tower's remarks.

But... can it really be that easy?

"The Genius Club may be declaring war on Interstellar Peace Corporation!"

"The untold secrets of Chadwick and the company!"

"Shocking! The company's prospective director, Oswaldo Schneider, has committed so many heinous acts!"

A mysterious force intervened, and various tabloids began to emerge, making the company feel even more uncomfortable by trying to keep quiet.

I'm about to start rambling—I'll cover all the necessary public reactions at once: the Abyss's reappearance, accountability for the company, and the Gaia scandal.

Chapter 311 Author: Oppenheimer

If official reports are off-limits, then don't blame us for creating unofficial and fabricated histories.

The fictional historian stated—whether it's true or not, he doesn't know, but the constructed history is certainly logically clear.

The tavern fool says—whether it's true or not doesn't matter, the goal is to make the fabricated history fun.

Netizens are saying – since we're not being allowed to know the truth, then we're going to start spreading rumors and conspiracy theories like crazy!

The internet is buzzing with excitement over that brief but incredibly exciting piece of information.

As luck would have it, a mysterious and enthusiastic person from within the company revealed a secret because they disapproved of Oswald Schneider's style.

It vividly recounts how Oswald offended Lin Yi, from the negotiations over the panacea to the bombing of Utopia.

Director of Gold Mining, at least put on an act! You know so much detail. Who in the company's upper management has a grudge against Oswaldo?
