Chapter 985 Shareholders' Meeting (6000 words)
"It seems that Charlie has offended someone!" Yang Bo listened to the three women while eating fruit, and then spoke.
“You can find everything on the Internet.” Annie, wearing a white sexy suspender nightgown, nodded.
The three women dress more casually at home.
However, Su Wei still dressed relatively conservatively, wearing a set of pink clothes, pants and pajamas.
Siya also wore a white short-sleeved nightgown.
“I also feel that Charlie’s political opponents are targeting him.”
“Tianze Star is in the capital area and is one of the best in the entire alliance in terms of security and defense. Charlie can be The easy kidnapping shows that others have long been familiar with his living habits."
"This cannot be done in a day or two. Someone must have wanted to deal with him for a long time."
" I think he offended too many people. Even the family was offended by the things he did.”
"He deserves it."
"These politicians in the ruling party are afraid that they will hate Charlie to death."
"The alliance will be in chaos again for a while, and there will definitely be further progress. "In fact, elections are a good thing. During the election, these politicians will give away a lot of things in order to canvass votes. Anne and I took a lot of things before." The three women expressed their opinions one after another.
Yang Bo felt happy while eating the fruit.
By the way, take a look at the trends on the Internet. In fact, from ancient times to the present, it is rare to see real things on the Internet.
Just like the Charlie incident, the Internet is divided into several camps. It can be seen from these comments that there are many promoters behind it.
Some people continued to whitewash Charlie, saying that it was impossible to believe what Charlie said because he was coerced into saying it.
Of course, the main purpose of these people talking about the law is to defend the ruling party.
Because Charlie is one of the more important figures in the current ruling party.
The other part is directly aimed at what Charlie said, not telling others about the law, and extending from Charlie to the entire ruling party.
And just now Tianze Star suffered two major events, a hacker attack and an atomic bomb crisis.
And blame these two things on the incompetence of the ruling party.
There are also various conspiracy theories that believe that Charlie was framed by his competitors.
There is even a group of people targeting all political groups and groups in the alliance, saying that politicians in the alliance are criminals.
If you look at the same thing on different websites, you will find that the comments are different and the positions are different.
Because these websites belong to different camps.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the ruling party is in big trouble during this crisis.
So the other two things that happened on Tianze Star were not popular at all.
Women are also very gossipy. The three women discussed this matter with Yang Bo while watching the news.
While Yang Bo was watching the news and discussing with the three women, he was thinking about the follow-up development issues.
The main thing is talent. If you want to make a force bigger and stronger, you need a lot of things.
"But I'm not afraid. Anyway, looking for management talents is just like looking for a CEO. If you do well, keep working. If you don't, get out." Yang Bo knew how much he weighed.
I don’t even think about managing a huge force by myself.
First of all, Yang Bo himself has no relevant experience, whether in his previous life or this life.
In addition, different regions have different management methods.
It will definitely not work to use the alliance's management method to manage the empire.
So Yang Bo gave up the idea of looking for management talents in the league.
Because the Crimson Federation's model is different, if the alliance's management method is used to manage the territory of the Crimson Federation, it will definitely not be adapted to the environment.
However, the Crimson Federation also has a lot of talents. After all, the model of the Crimson Federation can be said to be more difficult.
Because the Crimson Federation has always been unstable, those who can become bigger and stronger in this environment are talents.
On the contrary, within the Alliance and the Empire, there are many mediocre people because they have been peaceful for too long.
To put it bluntly, you get to power by flattering yourself.
Yang Bo was not in a hurry to contact Zhang Bozhen because the Black Star Company in Vichy City, Karaya State, Crimson Federation, was going to hold a shareholders' meeting.
Yang Bo knew about it through the spiritual seeds of Xu Shun, John Li’s housekeeper.
As for the purpose of the meeting, Yang Bo still doesn't know yet.
Yang Bo came to John Li's manor, and after leaving the underground vault, he used his smart watch to arrange the trip.
When big figures from the Crimson Federation travel, they are all escorted.
Because the Crimson Federation is in chaos.
John Li’s manor is still more than two hundred kilometers away from Vicky City.
Rich people in the Crimson Federation like to live far away from the city.
In this way, you can build your own manor well and take defensive measures.
Yang Bo will take a special armed speed car when he goes to Black Star Company to hold a shareholders' meeting this time.
In addition, guards will follow, and the guards will also be equipped with mechas.
The six guards carry mechas, which means that these six guards are all mecha masters.
"Tsk tsk!!" Yang Bo and Li John's armed speed car were also surprised.
Because this armed speed car is so cool, the entire speed car is about thirty meters long and the highest height is about eight meters. It looks like a yacht.
The most eye-catching thing is the weapons on this armed speed car. The highest part of the middle mast is the radar.
Of course there is a radar at the bottom of the speeding car.
In addition, there is an energy cannon and a missile module on the deck in front of the armed speed car.
There is also an electromagnetic gun and a missile module on the back deck of the armed speed car.
The entire armed speed car is covered with battleship armor and also has an energy shield generator.
Seeing this armed speed car, Yang Bo knew how chaotic the security in the Crimson Federation was.
It can be said that violence often occurs in various cities.
Of course, whoever wants to cause trouble in various cities must be prepared to be hunted down by companies in the city.
Because most companies in these cities in the Crimson Federation prohibit any violent incidents.
Because in the eyes of these companies, everything in the city, including buildings, is the property of the company.
Of course, this also includes everyone on the site under the company’s jurisdiction.
But after leaving the city, the wilderness is very dangerous.
Most cities in the Crimson Federation have not only various armed forces outside, but also various mutant animals and plants.
The difference is that most of these mutant animals and plants have no value.
And these mutated animals and plants are very cruel.
Many of the various armed forces outside the city are supported by companies in other cities.
For example, most of the various armed forces outside Vichy City are supported by companies from several neighboring cities.
They did this mainly because they wanted to continuously weaken the strength of Vicky City.
Although human life is not valuable at all in the Crimson Federation, people are also the most basic thing in the entire city. If a city does not have people, then it cannot be called a city.
Of course, companies in Vicky City will also secretly support the armed forces outside other cities. On the one hand, they plunder the other party's resources, and on the other hand, they also seek intelligence.
To put it bluntly, the Crimson Federation is ruled by warlords, small armed warlords in local areas, and then armed warlords on large planets.
The Bobi family, the major shareholder of Black Star Company where John Li works, has one seat in the upper house of the planetary parliament in Karaya, and there are four seats in the lower house.
John Lee’s armed speed car has a very cool name called Golden Skull.
In the Crimson Federation, no one keeps a low profile.
Because you think you are low-key, others will really think you are not good, and then they will attack you in groups.
In the Crimson Federation, you have to show your strength. The stronger you show, the more fearful others will be of you.
John Li takes six guards with him every time he travels. The reason why he does not bring more guards is because the guards of the manor are equally important.
Yang Bo got on the armed spaceship, and the armed spaceship began to set off for Vicky City.
The entire armed speed car is golden, ensuring that everyone can see it from a distance.
And the armed speed car will continue to send its own unique signal identification in the public communication channel.
Let those blind guys know who is coming.
The flying height of the armed flying car is not very high, only about ten meters above the ground.
Because the armed speed car flies too high, it is easily attacked by long-range energy weapons.
Energy weapons, such as laser weapons, can attack too far.
The higher the speeding car flies, the greater the distance at which the speeding car can be observed and locked.
If it is attacked by someone, the flying car will still fly close to the ground.
The lower the flying height of the speeding car, the lower the chance of being locked.
Yang Bo looked at the hardened road, just like a highway on earth.
This is because most of the Crimson Federation's material transportation still uses electric vehicles.
On the one hand, because the cost of building flying cars is too high, most cities in the Crimson Federation do not have the ability to manufacture flying cars.
The other aspect is energy consumption. The energy consumption of an electric car running on the ground is only one percent of that of a flying car.
Another more critical point is that hardened roads are not easy for people to install traps, such as induction mines.
Induction mines are an explosive device. There are many modes of induction mines, including biological induction, heat induction, and energy induction.
For example, if there is a sensor mine hidden somewhere, if the speeding car passes over it, the sensor mine will be triggered.
This kind of landmine is not like the kind of landmine on earth, but the kind of missile-like thing that can track the target.
The main city of Vicky City, which means the area where the use of force is not allowed, is only about 6,000 square kilometers.
There are no high-rise buildings here. The tallest building is the huge armed defense tower in the middle of Vichy City.
The entire defense tower is 700 meters high, with more than 120 energy cannons of various specifications integrated on it.
There are also more than 20,000 missiles of various types and more than 50,000 drones of various types.
In addition, there are an unknown number of spare missiles and various drones at the bottom of the defense tower.
Other buildings throughout the city are only three stories high.
The reason why the building is only three stories high is to facilitate the energy detection system of the defense tower to monitor and attack the entire city.
If they are all high-rise buildings, it is easy to have blind spots for shooting. There are also a large number of guard towers around Vichy City.
The defense tower in the middle of the city is jointly managed by the three major companies in Vicky City.
The expenses incurred are also shared among the three major companies based on the area they occupy in the city.
Black Star Company occupies three-fifths of the area of Vicky City, and there are two other companies, Blue Shield Company and Maya Company.
They each occupy one-fifth of the area of Vichy City.
The distance of two hundred kilometers is reached in twenty minutes by car.
Vicchi City is located on the edge of a large river and is a huge basin.
A large river in the middle divides the city into two. To the east of the river is three-fifths of the city area controlled by Black Star Company.
The west side of the river is controlled by two other companies.
There are five or six bridges connecting it.
"Salute!" When Yang Bo arrived at the checkpoint in the east of Vicky City in John Lee's speed car, all members of the checkpoint immediately stood up and saluted.
These people are all members of the company's armed forces, which are, to put it bluntly, private armed forces.
These people wear standard armor with a black star on the left chest, which is the company's emblem.
The chest on the right side of the armor is the military rank of the person wearing it.
As a shareholder of the company, John Li has absolute rights in the company, not to mention the members below the company.
John Li's personal guard was also arrogant in front of these people.
“I fucking thought I was back on earth!” Yang Bo looked at Vicky City and the various electric cars in the city.
There are street lights on both sides, buildings of various colors, and wide hardened roads.
Compared to Ten Thousand Island City on Devin Star and the cities on March Star, this place is as backward as the countryside.
The company's headquarters is not in the middle of the city, but on the edge of the city.
The company headquarters is a separate area, surrounded by barbed wire and high walls.
There are also warning machine guns on the high wall.
Part of these warning machine guns are electromagnetic guns, and the other part are old-fashioned gunpowder-driven machine guns.
Why this kind of machine gun is used? The explanation is quite big.
Because many forces cannot develop their own weapon control systems alone.
You don’t feel safe using someone else’s, so simple manual control is the most convenient and safest method.
The company headquarters covers an area of approximately 500 square kilometers.
Most of the company's supplies, products, and factories are here.
There is also an airport for spacecrafts to take off and land.
Of course this is where most of the company's armed personnel are stationed.
The same mecha fighters and the like are also here.
"Director Li!!" Yang Bo arrived at the gate of the company headquarters in a flying car. Other security personnel at the gate bent down to salute, and the person in charge came up to greet him attentively.
“Yeah!!” Yang Bo nodded. Yang Bo had already reported to the company using John Li’s smart watch.
And John Li also has his own residence in the company.
It is a three-story villa covering an area of approximately 5,000 square meters.
All the company's shareholders have their own residences here, although many of these shareholders also have their own estates outside the city.
But Yang Bo did not go to John Li’s manor here, but went directly to the door of the company headquarters.
The company's headquarters is a circular building, and you can see that the surface of the building is covered with thick battleship armor.
There are various antennas on the building of the company headquarters.
Because the company has its own satellites, including armed warning satellites.
"Old Li!" After Yang Bo got off the car, before he could even look at the company door, a dark-skinned bald man greeted him loudly.
Yang Bo waved the guards to go to rest where they should go, and then asked: "Pete, you guys are squatting at the door. Is this company meeting going to be detrimental to us people?"
This dark-skinned, bald man, named Peter Lorraine, has a level A superpower. As for the specific attributes, he doesn’t know at all.
“The company is not planning to pay dividends this year!”
“The Golden Lion City next door is in big trouble, and the company wants to take action against Golden Lion City.”
"Not only are the dividends gone, but our shareholders are also required to contribute." Pete nodded.
Peter only has 4% of the shares in the company, and John Li has 6% of the shares in the company.
Many resolutions in the company require the approval of a certain proportion of shareholders to pass.
"What's the trouble in Golden Lion City?" Yang Bo asked curiously.
“Do you know about the hacker attack on Alliance Tianze Star?”
"The Alliance has found out that the source of the attack is Golden Lion City!"
"The Alliance has sent a special investigation team to Golden Lion City to investigate."
"Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is fart. I don't even dare to let go of one." Peter explained quickly.
When Yang Bo heard this, he asked suspiciously: "Is it impossible? Golden Lion City dares to provoke the alliance?"
"Don't these idiots know that the alliance has always wanted to attack us? ”
Peter shrugged: "Who says it's not, but I think this is impossible. With the technical level of those bastards in Golden Lion City, there is no way they can create such an advanced hacking program."
"If There are such high-level hackers in Golden Lion City, and I’m afraid our company will no longer have them.”
“I think the hacker attack on Tianze Star in the Alliance may be an internal matter.”
“You also know that those damn politicians in the alliance are very concerned about face. They cannot admit that it is their own internal problem, because if they admit it, they will not be able to explain it to their people.”
Yang Bo didn't say anything when he heard this. The company's gate was not very big, and there were armed sentries on both sides of the gate.
You can see that these armed sentries are guarded.
For companies, these talents are the cheapest.
Because developing systems and the like requires not only a lot of investment, but also continuous updates.
In addition, companies also know their own technical level in this area. Maybe the things developed by their company can be easily destroyed by others.
Even the entire civilian intelligent network system of Vicky City is outsourced to certain companies in the alliance.
The interior of the company building is only five meters high, and mechas cannot enter at such a height.
“Director Li!”
“Director Li!”
“Director Luolan!” The staff within the company stood up one after another after seeing Yang Bo and Pete. Make way for others and bow down to say hello.
Yang Bo and Peter didn't care about these staff members at all.
"Is the company overthinking it? Since it is the alliance that has sent a special investigation team."
"If we take action now, will others agree?" Yang Bo said as he walked away.
“Everyone in Golden Lion City, especially the senior executives of their company, are not allowed to leave the city.”
“The company’s major shareholders think this is a good opportunity, and we can pull out Drop the resource points around it," Peter said as the two got on the elevator.
When Yang Bo heard this, he understood that the company was preparing to take advantage of the situation.
"This is not easy. There are nine councilors behind Golden Lion City!" Yang Bo shook his head.
"Who says it's not? I think this matter should wait a little longer." Pete nodded.
Yang Bo finally understood that Peter's intention was to let himself, the shareholder, oppose the proposal when the time comes.
"It is safest for us to hold the dividend money in our hands and give it to the company for expenditure. Then someone can make a fortune again." Pete said in a low voice.
Yang Bo understood what Peter meant. In a company, although small shareholders have rights, they are not many.
There are too many places where major shareholders can stretch their hands, because a company's expenses are too large.
Peter and Yang Bo do not have any other additional industries, so the company cannot accept some orders.
As for the company's largest shareholder, their family owns many industries.
Many times a lot of business within the company is handed over to their own families.
There are too many tricks here, but there is nothing the small shareholders can do.
Because small shareholders cannot fight against the Bobi family alone.
As for the small shareholders uniting against the Bobi family.
This is simply impossible, because no one of the small shareholders will trust anyone else, and no one will give their back to the other party.
The two came to the reception room outside the conference room on the third floor.
Seeing the two people coming in, two fair-skinned and beautiful female staff members came up to them separately: "Director Li, what would you like to drink?"
"No need!" Yang Bo shook his head. He didn't dare to eat randomly outside, even though it was inside the company.
“I don’t want it either.” Peter waved to the staff member who said this to him.
The company will generate a large amount of income from dividends every year, but now that the company does not want to pay dividends, Pete is not satisfied, and there is no way to think about eating and drinking.
"Director Li!"
"Director Luo Lan!" There were already other shareholders in the reception room, and they saw the two of them greeting each other one after another.
Because John Li owns more shares than Peter, everyone who greets greets Yang Bo first.
"Director Yang!"
"Director Cage!" Yang Bo also greeted these people one after another.
Of course there are shareholders who don’t deal with John Li and don’t even say hello to Yang Bo.
Of course Yang Bo also knows that some shareholders are not just unwilling to deal with them, they can be said to be enemies.
Because a company involves many interests, conflicts will inevitably arise when everyone fights.
Conflicts on the Crimson Federation side are basically fatal.
"We haven't been together for several months. After the meeting later, how about we play a few games?" A woman who is two meters tall and weighs probably 250 kilograms asked. While speaking, he looked at Yang Bo provocatively.
Valerie, one of John Lee’s enemies and Valerie’s father, died in a friction between the company and other companies. At that time, John Lee was responsible for leading the rescue team, but John Lee saved others first. team, so they became enemies.
"Haha, I happen to be short of money." Yang Bo replied not to be outdone, because if you show weakness in the company, others will bully you.
