Chapter 264 Shifting focus
The underground air lacks circulation and is turbid like never before in Upper District.
The sky is replaced by a rock ceiling, and without sunlight, it can easily give people a dark and depressing feeling.
In addition, the clothes of miners coming and going are stained with stains common in heavy industry, which has many similarities with the hometown in Topaz's childhood memories.
"Including Automatons, various machines of Belobog are driven by Earth Core. Mining is undoubtedly a pillar industry. If you want to improve the Lower District environment, you have to change your perspective."
President Miss has management experience. As a senior executive of the company, her knowledge and vision are not limited to one planet.
"In this kind of closed environment, mechanical, electrical, filtration and scrubber dust collectors are not suitable. Either the efficiency is not high enough, or they are not suitable for underground working environments. A comprehensive type of charged bag type, or charged droplet scrubber, coupled with a fresh air system, can meet the needs of particle capture."
The exterior walls of the buildings in the town are stained with rust. Which of the company's rust removers is suitable?
Lower District's fresh vegetables mainly come from the ground, otherwise only moss would be left. It measures the air temperature, humidity, and light intensity, and searches the starry sky to see if there are fruits and vegetables that are easier to grow under the same conditions.
Interastral Peace Corporation can handle all kinds of troubles Belobog encounters, becoming the largest manufacturer, seller and logistics company.
Having personally experienced the collapse and restoration of the ecosystem in his hometown, and seeing more of the plight of planets that failed to repay their debts in time, Topaz no longer simply feels sad for the suffering people have suffered, or rejoices that civilization has managed to get out of the crisis.
Discover problems, provide solutions, and bring about changes as the company Senior Executive.
This is how she works.
Rivet Town, Rock Town, Mechanic Graveyard, and the arsenal.
"With this kind of signal distribution, could it be that seven hundred years ago, when Jarilo-VI and Antimatter Legion fought, the weapons left by the company were not used at all?... The legend of this planet is really becoming more and more fascinating."
How many people now know the original site of the weapons test site that the company's commissioners cooperated with Jarilo-VI, and how many people can guess that there are countless mechas and weapons hidden in the seemingly ordinary rocky mountains ahead.
Although the company's technology seven hundred years ago was much weaker than today's company's weapons, in terms of quantity and quality, it was still an army of robots that could compete with Legion Voidranger.
After tentatively inputting commands remotely, Topaz's eyes lit up.
"It can still receive orders. It is indeed a standardized weapon produced in accordance with regulations."
"It seems like you found something left behind by the company back then."
A second voice sounded in the deserted area that had been untouched all year round. Without looking back, Topaz could determine who it was based on the tone.
"Miss Natasha has also returned to Lower District. Is there anything you need to do?"
"Lord Hua Yi asked me to come over and act as a guide to introduce you to the story of the underground."
At the same time, I also took this opportunity to give myself a vacation and go back to Lower District.
There is no need to say the second half of the sentence to Topaz, just keep Hua Yi's care in your heart.
Natasha followed President Miss's gaze and looked at Yanshan.
"If you plan to bring back the company's legacy, I can recruit people to help move it."
"You don't need to move it. I think the powered-off mechas inside the rock wall can still move and can move by themselves - you already knew that this was the arsenal of the past? Void Erosion had spread to the town before, and monster attacks were becoming more and more frequent. Why haven't you seen the mechas left by the company in use?"
"I don't know, Hua Yi told me."
He had already guessed what Topaz would ask now, and Natasha only needed to repeat the original words.
"After the company employees evacuated the planet more than seven hundred years ago, no one knew how to activate these weapons."
"Then what is your Automatons?"
"According to the design blueprints left by the company, the City Builderss built the first batch of imitation mechas, but among the First Supreme Guardian Alisaland resistance forces, the main force is still flesh-and-blood humans."
"Tsk, the employees back then definitely did not strictly implement Company regulations when they evacuated. Even if they had to leave within a short period of time, they should have left the keys to control the mechas instead of leaving them idle for so long."
"Automatons follows the underlying code left by the company and should be paid, but Belobog has kept Company Mechs for seven hundred years, and the storage fees are also not small, and they should offset each other."
Hearing what Natasha said, Topaz was amused.
"Are you paraphrasing Hua Yi's original words? He was very thoughtful."
"Yes."
"Okay, then offset it. I can still do this, Lord."
The total combat power of the mechas on standby in the rock wall is not as good as that used by Topaz [Yellow Jade Collection].
President Miss just came over to take a look, but his attention was already on Natasha.
"I didn't expect that Belobog recorded so clearly what happened many years ago. Under Stellaron crisis, the responsibility of Supreme Guardian has been passed down from generation to generation, and Preservation will has also been passed down from generation to generation without interruption. This is the inheritance - you are really amazing."
"He is so powerful. Me, Seele, even Bronya, Cocolia, we are all the ones who can't help ourselves in the crisis."
"Tell me more about it? Don't think about debts, and don't think of me as a member of the company. In the final analysis, I am Outworlders just like Hua Yi."
You are a visitor, he is not.
Hua Yi is now King of Belobog and we are trying to get him to stay, at least a little longer.
If Topaz is also a Winter City person, Natasha will have to be honest with her and discuss countermeasures together. However, the girl represents Interastral Peace Corporation.
According to the information Bronya quietly shared with everyone yesterday night, the director lady tried to poach someone and invited Hua Yi to join Interastral Peace Corporation, another competitor after Astral Express.
Although strictly speaking, the company borrowed money and left behind the mecha design drawings and underlying code, which in disguise contributed to the birth of Automatons, and was also a favor to Belobog, but this favor should not become an excuse for Topaz to coerce Hua Yi.
Suppressing the distracting thoughts, Natasha talked about the past and present of Belobog.
Moreover, Ruoyouruowu emphasizes how much Winter City has changed due to the arrival of Hua Yi, and he will never let go.
Topaz heard her subtext, blinked twice, thought for a moment, and gave up explaining to Natasha how many resources the company had. If Hua Yi could become his colleague, Jarilo-VI's future would only be better.
Well, the focus of the next work should shift from this planet to him..
Chapter 265 Negotiation
"Have you completed the inspection and are you planning to formally negotiate? Miss Topaz's work efficiency is really amazing."
Kliperburg conference room, Hua Yi is sitting on one side of the long table, next to Supreme Guardian Bronya, representing Belobog, Topaz is sitting on the other side, attending as Interastral Peace Corporation Senior Executive.
The future of Belobog will be agreed here.
Serval, Natasha and others are qualified to participate in the meeting and express their opinions, but they consciously did not think of any good ideas.
When two parties negotiate, if one side has many people and the other side is alone, their momentum will be suppressed and they will strive for the initiative in the negotiation.
Hua Yi knew the skills in this area, but he just let Bronya appear with him and gave up unnecessary calculations.
As the director of the company, Topaz can mobilize a lot of people. This time he came alone. In addition to having a close personal relationship with Asta, he also expressed his friendship after learning that Hua Yi rescued Belobog without violating his own work needs.
Relying on trivial matters to gain the initiative in negotiations is just relying on the goodwill of the other party to play tricks.
When communicating with smart people, one can understand the meaning with just one look or detail.
Topaz understood Hua Yi's attitude, and a smile appeared on his pretty face.
"Rather than negotiating, I prefer to call it a problem-solution exchange meeting. Let me lay out my own ideas first - Yalilo-VI cannot pay off its debts by itself. If Miss Bronya does not want the hero to spend huge amounts of credits for Beloberg after saving the world, accepting company management is a good choice."
"I lack a long-term and concrete action plan... can I express my thoughts?"
"Of course."
"While First Supreme Guardian Alisaland led the soldiers in a bloody battle on the front line, engineers worked day and night on the rear to design Automatons, hoping to use their wisdom to contribute to Preservation civilization."
I am not a girl who is rational enough and far-sighted enough.
Bronya is self-aware.
When Astral Express arrives at Belobog, and Hua Yi shows off Suppress the Void's abilities, she will be happy, and simply trust her; she will be fascinated by him because he describes another brand new possibility, and will begin to question her mother's decision, and plead for the release of Blockade Order.
It was actually quite impulsive to trust Outworlders and not stand firmly by the mother who raised me and taught me how to manage the city.
If he is deceived by someone wearing a mask of hypocrisy, leading to a greater tragedy, Bronya will fall into extreme pain, and then grow up in the suffering and become a qualified Supreme Guardian.
If Belobog still existed at that time.
Fortunately, Hua Yi didn't have any ill intentions at all. He created a miracle that exceeded everyone's expectations.
It saves the slightly immature girl's heart from sadness.
"The real Crystal of Wisdom, the most powerful war machine is not Automatons, but Creation Engine. In order to resist the invasion of the Antimatter Legion, Creation Engine was built It entered the battle in the early stages and made great achievements, but the code name given by Lord Alisa was [Geological Modification Engineering Unit]. The real mission it was given was to help people rebuild their homes after expelling all enemies who tried to harm the world."
"The concept of long-term development spans time and life. That Ms. Land is great."
"... Nowadays, people finally have the opportunity to rebuild their homes. Lord Hua Yi also inspired everyone's enthusiasm during the publicity in the square. At this moment when we are united, I don't want to sell Belobog to the company in exchange for a bought-out future."
Bronya carefully confided his feelings.
She is worried that this kind of statement will anger Topaz, and she also knows that when the other party is rational and reasonable, she is bound to Belobog's people's hearts. First Supreme Guardian's expectations for the future seven hundred years ago are not so convincing.
For example, playing the emotional card requires Topaz to be able to empathize and have compassion.
But what if she treats Belobog preferentially and is held accountable by higher-ups in the company? Is she also playing the emotional card?
Sitting almost side by side with the girl, Hua Yi could see her clenched palms hidden under the table.
Grasp Bronya's fingers one by one and stretch them gently. The new Supreme Guardian showed a clear idea. That was enough. Next came Philosopher King's turn.
"Bronya From an emotional point of view, let me talk about the actual benefits - selling the entire Belobog to the company is not enough to repay the debt. A planet-level huge sum of money requires a planet-level return...
"That's right."
"So if the company brings this city into its management scope, it must drastically transform the planet's ecology, quickly end Great Cold, restore a warm climate, and then use the entire Jarilo-VI as a farm, industrial manufacturing center, and office building to create value worthy of the investment."
"This is indeed Strategic Investment Department's plan."
"But large-scale regulation of planetary ecology has more than half the probability of failure. The company's expected revenue cannot be equated with the value that can be produced by successfully transforming Jarilo-VI. Instead, it must be multiplied by the limited success rate. This string of numbers will not be too shocking. A long enough time span must be added to recover the capital."
Hua Yi used the company's most familiar method to describe the efforts and rewards to Topaz.
"Transforming the ecosystem is another huge expense, and investment has increased."
"I did some calculations before coming here. Compared to letting Belobog develop on its own, the return on secondary investment is greater."
"What if the transformation fails?"
"The company is not Antimatter Legion, and will not destroy civilization without authorization. If the environment of Jarilo-VI completely collapses, Belobog people can be transferred to other planets - the number of residents at the 1.0 city level, even if personal property is added, will not require a few transport ships."
Of course, leaving one's hometown will not make people happy, but if this is the worst outcome, and the planet after moving is more habitable than Jarilo-VI, then it will be a blessing among misfortunes.
"It seems that Miss Topaz is well aware of the possible benefits to the company and the losses after triggering the risk. Then I propose another attribute of Belobog, which is City of Preservation. It has persisted for seven hundred years under the ravages of the Antimatter Legion and Stellaron. The company once invested in Credits, and the mecha left behind became the prototype of Automatons."
"You mean..."
"Brand, image, reputation, Antimatter Legion does not need these things, it is already notorious, but I think the company does, and Belobog is a ready-made promotional material.".
Chapter 266 Both parties are satisfied
Can I do whatever I want with Credits?
The company has established the Credits system, which has absolute dominance over wealth, formulates trade rules, and plays the role of a player in the system. Various actions are often traceable.
Even though there is black blood hidden in the body of this giant beast, it is still the giant of Order side, which is fundamentally different from the Antimatter Legion, which only knows destruction.
Topaz's thoughts are flowing.
"The company will not stop at just one city when it takes over Belobog. It will definitely transform the planet. The price of failure will be the City of Preservation that Antimatter Legion and Stellaron failed to capture. It was destroyed by the company. The reputation benefits that can only be obtained after success can be given by Belobog?"
"Miss Topaz should have verified during the inspection that Earth Core's heating role is limited, and it is [Preservation] that is protecting Belobog. Looking at the vast universe, this should be regarded as a rare case."
"Bronya showed me the enthusiasm of Belobog people to save themselves, and you explained the benefits of letting Belobog develop on its own. It's a two-pronged approach."
"Just a simple statement of the pros and cons."
Interastral Peace Corporation who believe in Preservation will not be short of promotional materials. The size of Belobog is as small as dust in the universe.
But the dimension currently being discussed is not the vast galaxy, but only Jarilo-VI.
The solution proposed by Hua Yi is indeed valuable enough to make Topaz tempted.
"Defining previous investments as timely help shows that the company is committed to cause of Preservation for the long term and is a natural partner for all planets that are determined to believe in Amber Lord. If Strategic Investment Department could end Belobog's past seven hundred years and start a new era as a part of his speech at the Amber Era summary meeting, build on the past and look forward to the future of the department..."
The more the female director talked, the more she had ideas.
