Chapter 206: What is an interstellar giant?
Prisoners from private companies and private military companies are much easier to deal with than soldiers captured on the battlefield.
Facing the heavily armed Marines, especially the Roma who looked very oppressive, these unarmed prisoners who had their weapons confiscated behaved worse than the children who 'sit in rows and eat fruit' Be obedient.
Under the supervision of the Marines, the actions of verifying identities and putting on disposable positioning belts are not very skillful.
After Atlas confirmed that all the prisoners were under control according to the voyage records and crew lists on the two destroyers, they finally relaxed a little.
After the ordinary prisoners were disrupted and regrouped, they were concentrated and placed in several temporarily divided 'holding areas' in Gnaku, guarded by marines.
‘High-level’ prisoners like the two captains, Oens, and Yaoguang’s defense liaison were held alone in the crew cabin.
As for the control of the two destroyers, Amber directly handed it over to Lilith, letting her control the shipboard control personality for the most basic operations.
He will definitely not return these two battleships, or he will only return them if he is sick.
After jumping to a safe area, Amber planned to immediately contact the ship dealer who purchased the ship to sell it.
This is basically how the solution for the two Peregrine-class ships has been decided.
But Amber had some difficulties in dealing with so many prisoners.
With so many captives, he would definitely be heartbroken if they were not absorbed into Atlas to work for him.
But the problem is, most of the captives worked well in their previous companies and even had families. Why should they go to a foreign country with you to work hard?
Although Atlas does have an advantage in terms of salary and benefits, and in this era, it is quite common for employees to be captured in corporate wars and eventually 'absorbed' by the other company.
There is no guarantee that many of these prisoners were 'absorbed' into the company by Mary Bay Industries or Yaoguang Defense through this method.
For employees, who do they work for instead of working for them?
But after all, Atlas is still a company registered in the Thousand Stars Empire and is not within the sphere of human influence. Many people may have to say goodbye to their hometown forever.
In this case, even if they are forcibly 'absorbed', Amber is honestly not confident that these people will be loyal enough.
So after discussing with Randall, Isabel and others, everyone unanimously decided to simply use these people to ask for some ransom from the two companies.
This is also a common practice in corporate wars.
The captives can return to a place they are familiar with without having to stay far away from home, and Amber and the others can also get a sum of money.
We all have a bright future.
Before the three destroyers formed a formation and entered the coordinated jump, Amber used the relay signal station in deep space to send an email to Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense in the name of Atlas Mining Company .
Firstly, he explained the causes and consequences of this incident, and secondly, he said that Atlas would treat their employees properly and hoped that both parties could complete the personnel 'handover' as soon as possible. Finally, he also hoped that both parties would be able to work together in the future. There are opportunities for collaboration.
In terms of attitude, highlight an image that is neither humble nor arrogant, but still hopes to calm down troubles.
The two companies responded quickly. At the same time that Amber escaped from the jump and entered the Thousand Stars Empire, the company mailbox also received a reply from the other party.
After reading the reply, Amber almost laughed angrily.
The voices of Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense are surprisingly consistent. They have a tough attitude and demand that Amber apologize and compensate for their losses, otherwise they will take force to safeguard their interests.
At the same time, the entire reply did not mention at all what to do with their employees.
The format and content are almost exactly the same, except for the name of the company.
Amber even doubted whether the replies from these two families were written by the same person. "This is too perfunctory"
After reading the reply, Randall shook his head speechlessly.
At this time, he and Amber were staying with several 'senior prisoners' from Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense.
"That's right. And the whole article doesn't mention how to treat you prisoners."
Amber looked at Orns, who looked a little unnatural, and said with a smile:
"Brother, you are really Is this the director of Mary Bay Industrial Product R&D Department 3? Your company’s attitude makes me a little suspicious of your identity.”
“You must have a way to verify my identity, so There is no such thing as "I lied to you."
Hearing Amber's words, Orns replied angrily.
"Hey, big companies like you are good at everything. It's just that you pay too much attention to profits, which makes you completely inhumane. Even a 'loyal employee' like you who has been there for 20 years can give up at the drop of a hat."
Amber looked at Orns with some sympathy, and then glanced at several other people.
Their expressions were also a little lonely at this time. It was obvious that they had guessed the decision of their respective companies.
If you don’t redeem or save people, you won’t be considered dead during the mission.
Instead, they will be marked as 'missing' one by one.
In this way, they can avoid paying high pensions and only need to provide minimum "humanitarian assistance" to their families.
If anyone else questions the company's practices, the executives of these companies will rightfully say that they have been spending high costs on personnel searches.
But the universe is too big to be found in a short while.
It is indeed a common saying.
So Amber sometimes feels that the employees of these companies are quite pitiful to a certain extent.
A company that works hard to create benefits will be kicked out immediately if something goes wrong.
“Actually, I should have thought of it earlier.”
Oens, with a gloomy face, suddenly said:
“Judging from my age, I have indeed reached the age where I am about to be... It's time to optimize, which is why I want to squeeze into P9.
Now that this thing has happened, the company can perfectly 'optimize' me and save me the trouble. A huge settlement payment will be given to me in the future, hahahahaha.”
Orns smiled maniacally, as if he wanted to vent his unwillingness and anger.
His words made several other 'senior prisoners' think of their gloomy future at the same time, and their faces suddenly became uglier.
In this situation, even if Amber lets them go without asking for ransom (of course Amber is not such a person), their company will not let them return to their original jobs.
Because the moment they were judged as 'missing', their positions were taken up by replacements.
The most the company can do is arrange a ‘humanitarian care position’ for them, which can only maintain the minimum standard of living.
If Oens and the others are still not satisfied, they will have no choice but to file a lawsuit with the company.
Then they will be attacked hard by the legal department that the company spends a lot of money to support.
Just when the atmosphere in this cabin became more and more gloomy, Amber tentatively asked One sentence:
"How about you try to work for me?"
