the days before i bought the galaxy

In just three months, the assets have increased dozens of times. Not to mention in the Bethel business circle, even in the sphere of influence of the entire earth people, such a situation is quite rare.The total value of the entire Bethel business circle is about 100 billion deep-space crystals. There were only 35 large-scale chambers of commerce in the past, but after the Slim family became the 36th large-scale chamber of commerce, one can imagine the degree of attention it has received up.

Even though he had little interest in social activities, Warren Slim still had to attend various social occasions frequently in the first few weeks.Under his call, a large number of small chambers of commerce who struggled to survive in the cracks of the large chambers of commerce expressed their willingness to join the Free Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and nearly one-third of the medium-sized chambers of commerce were willing to consider this matter, but only the large chambers of commerce offered to join the alliance. two.One of them is mainly engaged in military industry. It can be said that almost all the orders come from the local security forces, so it is natural to stand on the side of the "agent" of the administrator.Another large chamber of commerce is entirely interested in Warren's development potential.The president of the chamber of commerce is an extremely devout believer of the Holy Light sect. He believes that what Warren has done must be inextricably linked to maintaining the balance of the universe.

Since he only received the support of almost 4000% of the entire Bethel business circle, Warren believes that it is not yet time to formally establish the Alliance of Free Chambers of Commerce.He still has close to [-] million in funds on hand, and in just one or two more months, he believes that he can gain the support of more than [-]% of people in Bethel's business circle.The current problem mainly lies in two points, how to drive out the influence of Silver Shield from the Bethel business circle, and how to make the Great Chamber of Commerce, which is still in the wait-and-see stage, make up its mind as soon as possible.

Since the purpose of the alliance is to optimize internal resources, this is the most attractive point for small chambers of commerce, while for large chambers of commerce, it is equivalent to limiting the possibility of unfair competition in disguise. If long-term interests are not considered, it can be said to be a disadvantage greater than profit.Therefore, the current result is also expected by Warren.

Warren's ultimate goal is to reduce the impact of capital on profits and maximize the "human" factor, so as to create a fair and just business environment that can stimulate human creativity.He believes that he must obtain [-]% of the power of the Bethel business circle, so that he can start resource optimization immediately after the establishment of the Free Chamber of Commerce Alliance.Otherwise, he would have to spend some time cleaning up the original large chambers of commerce in the Bethel business circle, which would be a rather unfavorable start.

"Lan, what's the situation on the first, second, and fourth planets?"

In addition to the urban planet, the entire Bethel business circle also has six major trading planets called the six petals of the lily.Heinrich said last time that Silver Shield has many properties on three of the planets.After investigation, Warren found that the Silver Shield family owned almost one-third of the three planets!

"Negotiations are very difficult." Lan replied, "The chambers of commerce on those three planets basically have trade relations with Silver Shield. There is another thing that makes us fall into a passive position."

"what's up?"

"I don't know if it was inspired by Silver Shield. The Crete family headquartered on the first planet is planning an aid project for small chambers of commerce." Lan looked a little dignified when he spoke.

Warren raised an eyebrow: "Aid program?"

"Give high interest-free loans to small chambers of commerce to help them expand. If the business situation is not good, 25% of them can not be returned. Aid loans are conditional on not joining the Federation of Free Chambers of Commerce."

After thinking for a moment, Warren sighed: "Small chambers of commerce are our foundation. Heinrich is indeed worthy! His actions will make many small chambers of commerce think that immediate interests are more important, and thus refuse to cooperate with us. On the surface Look, the loans he issued will lose interest every year, and some of them may not be recovered. But in fact, he not only suppressed us, but also caused many small chambers of commerce to start to expand aggressively. Expansion must buy new equipment and technology, because The profits brought about by the increase in trade volume can completely offset this part of the loss. It is probably Heinrich’s talent to be able to attack opponents and protect himself at the same time! Next, he should dump materials at a lower price to Small chambers of commerce that accept loans, or simply write this clause into the loan agreement as a premise. In this way, all small chambers of commerce participating in this plan will sooner or later become puppets on strings that cannot do without the silver shield, and we will fall into poor development because of the loss situation."

Lan: "Then how do you plan to deal with it?"

"There is no way." Warren said with a wry smile. "It seems that we must speed up. Before Silver Shield snatches all the small chambers of commerce, we must establish the Free Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Blue, inform the reporter for me, I have something to announce."

"What are you going to announce?"

"I want to issue a declaration that the Slim family will wipe out all the pirates in the entire Bethel business circle within half a year!" Warren sighed helplessly after saying this bold statement, "Only in this way can I have Gaining enough reputation in a short period of time makes more people support me. There is no chamber of commerce that does not care about the harassment of pirates. This is a guillotine hanging above everyone’s head. If I can remove it, then I am The most respected man in the entire business world."

Lan looked at him worriedly: "Warren, are you really sure?"

"No." The answer was clearly negative, but Warren smiled, "Only the silver shield can be used after being completely sure. It's not suitable for me to strike after the strike. I can only gamble, or lose completely, or win. happy!"

"...Okay, I will notify the reporter."

"Lan, wait a while before going, stay with me for a while."

Seeing the cornered expression on Warren's face that he had never seen before, Lan couldn't help feeling a little worried.He checked Warren's body first, and after finding nothing wrong, he walked over and hugged Warren himself.

"Do you want to do it?"

"Lan, if the worst happens, we'll probably go back to some small planet and live like we did at the beginning." Warren said with a bitter face.

"I can adapt to all kinds of environments. Changing a job doesn't make any difference to me." Lan's expression was very serious.

"That's true."

"But I don't think you'll lose."

"The result of calculation?" Warren raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"No." Lan paused for a full minute, and when Warren thought he would not speak again, he suddenly said, "I don't want you to lose."

Staring at Lan's face, Warren felt that the robot was in extreme confusion, his handsome brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were not focused on anything. "Having expectations" is a feeling that only human beings have, but Lan just said his wish without hesitation.Different from the tendency to like this job or that job, this is entirely due to the expectation of being close to oneself, which is exactly the same as that of human beings.

It's really...it's impossible to let go...

"Huh? Warren?" Blue was puzzled by Warren biting his lip.

"I think I'm probably in love with you," Warren murmured.

"What? Ah... Do you want to do it?"

"want."

In May 1213 of the Galactic Calendar, Warren Slim issued a declaration to eliminate pirates, claiming that the Slim family would wipe out the pirate groups in the entire Bethel business circle within half a year.The arrogance of the declaration gave many people an unfounded sense of trust in Warren.

In fact, purely from the perspective of profit, eliminating pirates will not bring any benefits to the chamber of commerce. Instead, the chamber of commerce has to spend a lot of money to build an escort team. Therefore, most chambers of commerce all choose to defend against pirates. Attitude.Even the local security forces only need to guarantee the safety around the urban planet.Therefore, Warren's move can be said to be crazy. It is only for the purpose of cracking down on pirates who may not affect the trading route of the Slim Chamber of Commerce. Apart from gaining reputation, it has no use.

After hearing the news, many people believed that Warren issued the declaration out of revenge for the pirate attack on the Red Capital, while others believed that Warren would only put on a show to gain fame, while others believed that Warren’s The main targets are pirates who are a threat to the Slim Chamber of Commerce. As for the others, they should not be within the scope of settlement.

No matter what people say, the Slim family's guards have been expanded according to Warren's plan.He has two trump cards in his hand.One of these was the unconditional support of Administrator Henry Wickham.

Although the administrator could not directly assign the local security forces to him for deployment, he agreed to allow some officers of the local security forces to directly participate in the action of suppressing pirates and let them be responsible for training recruits.Many of these officers had a good relationship with Montgalt, and Warren's efforts to rescue and treat Montgalt made these people have a good impression of Warren.

Some of the warships of the escort are decommissioned ships of the local security force, and the other part is purchased from allies as needed.With a real quartermaster in charge, Warren will no longer rely on fumbling as he did last time when purchasing warships and weapons.

Thirty percent of the soldiers recruited by the escort came from the Bethel Military Academy, and these students who had not yet graduated from the military academy regarded the suppression of pirates as an excellent opportunity to accumulate practical experience.They will fight side by side with the chief they admire in advance, and the achievements they have won will have the opportunity to be included in the graduation results of the academy.The other part of the soldiers were members of the Slim Chamber of Commerce who had participated in the defense of the Red Capital. These people had not undergone systematic military training, but they had sufficient psychological quality.With the leadership of these two groups, coupled with the training of active officers, the strength of the Slim's guards far surpassed that of ordinary caravan guards.

Warren's second trump card is the important intelligence obtained from the smuggling syndicate.The lairs of pirates are often very hidden, and finding them is the biggest problem in the clearance activities.The only people who could possibly know all the whereabouts of the pirates were the smugglers who supplied the pirates and sold their stolen goods.

Warren has left some room for smugglers in the future Free Chamber of Commerce alliance.Using this bargaining chip, Odin successfully persuaded Linda and the organization behind her to hand over all information related to pirates to Warren.

In fact, pirates are not very good trading partners for smugglers.It is impossible for any chamber of commerce involved in smuggling to betray the smuggling group at the risk of being exposed, but pirates have no worries in this regard.On the one hand, they depend on smugglers, but on the other hand, they are happy to eat black people or rob ships carrying smuggled goods.Because even if those ships are hijacked, the owners cannot report the crime.In order to prevent the pirates from directly changing the purchase into robbery during the transaction, the smuggling group spent a lot of money to arm the ships that traded with the pirates.So after weighing the money earned from the pirates and the money they would earn from the Free Chamber of Commerce in the future, the smuggling syndicate sold out their "long-term partner" to Warren without hesitation.

The existence of these two trump cards made Warren confident in destroying pirates.He graded all the pirates according to their degree of danger, and decided to start attacking those with low danger first, and train while fighting. As soon as the first batch of ships arrived, he would immediately start the campaign to eliminate them.No doubt he was right.
