Yan Xiaosu had returned to the Solar System. Frankly speaking, currently, the people around the Milky Way Alliance, including those in the Solar System, had underestimated the power of the Solar System. Disregarding the political scene and looking at the economic scene, although they had been on a steady decline since the Interstellar Voyage Era, this declining period was ending. In this process, super nations such as Aslan, Arbiter, and others were born. However, the large amount of resources that these nations produced during the chaotic period of the Interstellar Voyage Era had entered a period of sluggish growth. In other words, the practice of occupying territories during the chaotic times had long passed. Under stability and rules, there would be a new set of rules. However, under this set of rules, the Solar System was constantly growing. Moreover, as the citizens of the Solar System were more concerned about honour and position instead of how they were treated, the developments of the Solar System in these years had been orderly.
For now, what the Solar System had to do was to find a new foothold. In other words, during this period, one could undoubtedly gain many interests in a planet like Tita Star. Yan Xiaosu wanted to use this project as a pitch book and demonstrate the levering effect.
In the past, Yan Xiaosu was only thinking of developing honestly and helping to build up Tita Star. Looking back now, his thoughts in the past were too naïve. Tita Star was just like a lolita. If she were to be raised honestly, what could he do if someone snatched her away?
The establishment of the Tita Business Organisation was necessary. Moreover, this could attract conservative funding from the Solar System. This was what Yan Xiaosu wanted to do. The pride in their core and the suppressed inferiority in their hearts over many years had caused many people in the Solar System to underestimate themselves. What Yan Xiaosu wanted to do was grab on this point to change the image of the Solar System.
Jasper and Laurel were making preparations in Lya Sphinx, while Gabre was working in Clark Republic. The powers would be held under the name of the business organisation and be gathered and strengthened with the objectives of the investment projects in Titatitan Star.
As for the Hail Cloud Alliance, Ai Xiaolu would be controlling from afar. It wouldn’t be the Ai Financial Organisation joining directly but Ai Xiaolu herself. After all, a project like this wasn’t sufficient to deserve the full attention of the Ai Financial Organisation. Under the Ai Financial Organisation, there were major investments projects in over 10 planets. Tita Star still wasn’t worthy at the moment. However, just Ai Xiaolu would be sufficient for now.
At the side of the Solar System, Yan Xiaosu was naturally the one in charge. Yan Xiaosu knew clearly that the rights to speak would still fundamentally depend on the amount of funding. The Business Organisation would grow larger accordingly and depending on Wang Zheng’s favour to Tita Star and his interests wouldn’t be sufficient. As the main member, he had to be in control of a greater amount of resources.
When the talks first began, things were very smooth. The investment projects on Tita Star were still very attractive. Moreover, coupled with the model of investing through a business organisation, the returns would be more protected. The business organisation in itself was a mutual assistance platform.
OMG and KING Company naturally made their stance clear. Some of the onlookers chose to take action, especially so after seeing OMG joining. Behind OMG was the committee member Ye Bingwen. He was a rising new star in the political scene of the Solar System. At the same time, he was also a representative figure of the new political power in the Milky Way Alliance and possessed an ally relationship with Hail Cloud Alliance and Lya Sphinx. One could say that in the aspect of political risk, with the addition of OMG, there would no longer be any obstacles. Obviously, one could also see from this how conservative the investors in the Solar System were.
Yan Xiaosu had carefully assessed and chosen 10 companies. He had expended much effort in researching to determine those that would be most suitable for Titatitan Star’s projects.
However, just when they were about to sign the contract, the initial great situation suddenly changed.
“Chairman Kang, didn’t we agree on this previously? Since you have made an investment on the Titatitan project, why did you give up suddenly?”
“Chairman Yan, I’m sorry about that. There’s some changes on my side and there’s further plans. I might still need Chairman Yan’s help on Tita Star in the future.”
… They were all old, sly foxes. After a big round of ambiguous words, the consensus was that the Tita projects would continue. However, it would be without him?
Why would it be like this? Didn’t they know about his influence on Tita Star?
Yan Xiaosu had also hung up his skylink, dumbfounded. This was the fifth company that had called him to cancel the signing of the contract. Looking at the forms on his working desk, he drew a long red line across “Kang Organisation”.
He subconsciously grabbed his hair. He had a bad start and this didn’t seem good. Jasper and Gabre’s sides were advancing greatly. If he were to fall behind here, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing?
Ding dong!
The Skylink ranged.
Yan Xiaosu’s face turned bitter. He was a little afraid. What if it was another one calling to cancel the signing of the contract? If that’s the case, he would probably smash the Skylink.
However, after turning on the skylink, it was a foreign face. “Good afternoon, Mr. Yan. I’m Brewer from Starlit Financial Organisation from the Moon.”
“May I know what business Mr. Brewer has come for?” Yan Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. The main sphere of influence of OMG was still around Earth and among those typical size companies in the Solar System. He obviously knew about Starlit Financial Organisation. This was an extremely large, well known company. Moreover, Starlit Financial Organisation belonged to the Doyle Family, which was also the Heavenly King Clan, who controlled the Moon.
“Hehe. Sorry for the abrupt call. It is mainly because we have heard about Mr. Yan’s Tita Business Organisation. Quite a number of our peers in the business circle of the Moon are all very interested…”
This Brewer was clearly more proactive and wanted to invite Yan Xiaosu to discuss this project in detail. The political situation on Tita Star had already stabilised, and for the deeply calculative Doyle family, it was about time to do something. Obviously, the views from Achilles held utmost importance. The directions of the future leader of the family had to be seriously considered among the inner members of the family.
Following almost instantly, the Lie family from Mars also sent their invitation. What was left was just the negotiations.
With things at this point, Yan Xiaosu knew that Wang Zheng had finally settled things with Achilles and Lie Xin. Boss’ final card and chips were all prepared now.
It was time to accomplish something big. The hazy feelings he had were all gone. Those small corporations that were lost wouldn’t pose a problem.
At the same time, at the other end of the Earth…
A meeting was still proceeding. Chairman Kang, who had just rejected Yan XIaosu, was, surprisingly, taking part in it.
“Everyone, you won’t regret the decision you have made today. Please believe in the strength of the Odi Business Organisation. Moreover, we have already acquired large amount of mature industries on Titatitan Star and have already left our competitors way behind us…”
An old man with an arched back was smiling faintly and explaining. Young Master was brilliant. During the sensitive period just before the war erupted, a large number of companies were having a fire sale on their projects on Titatitan Star. No matter the results of the war, these would be failed investments in their eyes. If the people of Tita won, they would definitely hate humans. Obviously, they couldn’t possibly win. If they lost, there would definitely be a change of government. Things that were concluded before the new government would definitely be voided. For them, it was just about shedding less meat and trying to minimize their losses a little.
At the side of Elite Academy, Lear turned off his Skylink. He had just been listening quietly for the whole process. The fatty at the side was trying his best to make his eyes of admiration seem a little more sincere.
“Are you feeling a little confused? Why did I acquire these things even though there was no chance of winning on Tita Star?” said Lear with a faint smile. The situation for the second round of matches made Lear very unhappy, but there were still things he felt comfortable about.
“Boss is brilliant and could predict the future!” said the Fatty just like he had always been.
“Your skills in bootlicking have deteriorated.” The side of Lear’s mouth revealed a proud arc. “Among the few of us who come from the Solar System, Wang Zheng is, in fact, the best in convincing others. He always has a way to convince others to play some risky game with him. The truth is that this is a simple matter. Buying these projects wouldn’t cost a lot. If they lose, I would just see them as a burial gift with Wang Zheng, as we know each other after all. However, if there’s a “if”, I will not lose out too.”
“Boss is brilliant!” The fatty’s bootlick was a little more sincere this time. However, he could only sigh in his heart. Rich people were just so headstrong. These burial fees were too expensive!
“However, if Yan Xiaosu and the rest were to know about this, wouldn’t we…”
“They obviously won’t know,” said Lear. These types of things wouldn’t require his attention. What he was worried about was the strength Wang Zheng had demonstrated. It was a little terrifying.
“Boss, Wang Zheng is a little fearsome. What should we do if we encounter Saruman Snake at a later stage?” asked the fatty cautiously.
This was a problem they had to issue. Saruman Snake and Dynasty would eventually have a head-on clash.
However, practically speaking, the current Saruman Snake battle team seemed a little unbreakable. After this match, Achilles and Lie Xin would return to the team. How should this be put? Fatty felt that it was not worth the price. If they hadn’t cut off all means of retreating, Achilles and Lie Xin would also not have inclined towards Wang Zheng now. If they weren’t convinced, there would still be a chance. However, Achilles and Lie Xin now had some sense of guilt within them. Once people like them felt a sense of guilt in them, what they would return to Wang Zheng would definitely be more.
The fatty had also received news that the Doyle family and the Lie family had taken action. This was clearly a way that Achilles and Lie Xin had shown their apologies. Oh d*mn. The way these rich people showed their apologies was really different. Through this experience, it had helped strengthen the internal unity of the team. It was just that the fatty didn’t dare to say this. Sometimes, it was better to be a little dumb. Moreover, practically speaking, he couldn’t blame Lear for this. This type of move was definitely a double-edged sword. Overall, they weren’t on the losing end.
