Under Calvin's detailed interpretation, the seemingly complex content of the clause has undoubtedly become much simpler, and judging from Calvin's tone, some of the hard surname clauses are just a symbolic meaning.

"I'll find a way to settle the status of a federal citizen, and as for some businessmen with enough weight, I should be able to find it too. So in your estimation, how much tax do you think I would have to pay to the Othello Executive Council each year if my autonomous region were to be able to apply for approval? ”

"The federal minimum tax is 150 million federal dollars." Calvin casually checked the information at hand and confirmed: "In recent years, the Federation has classified many autonomous regions as ordinary regions, and the latest additional autonomous region is the Barnard system applied for by the Morgan family, and the tax paid is 180 million. ”

"Barnard's system? The one newly conquered by the Federation? "Robin has also heard a little about the Barnard system that Calvin is talking about.

According to Robin's knowledge, before Osvid II pushed the Federation to carry out the first solar system expedition, the main force of the Federation Army was invading the Barnard system. The Barnard system has one star and two planets, and is very close to Proxima Centauri in terms of area. In terms of ownership, the Barnard system belongs to the marquisate of a marquis in the Hoffman Empire. Therefore, out of the importance and precaution of the Hoffman Empire, the Federation even used the most elite Twin Star Knights of the Federation when attacking the Barnard system.

Since the Imperial Marquis was not in the Barnard system, and did not pay enough attention to this marquisate, the Federation Army obtained this small system with little effort, and as the proposer of the expedition proposal, the Morgan family paid 180 million taxes as the standard, and the Barnard series was ruled by their family.

"That's right, it's that galaxy. Now that galaxy has almost become the private property of the Morgan family, and the 180 million taxes are paid by the Morgan family out of their own pocket. Calvin nodded in confirmation.

"But only 180 million in one galaxy? You read that right? ”

"Huh...... I read that right, it's 180 million. Calvin knew why Robin was so amazed, because last year, the mining rights of a Bruno planet were auctioned off by Stanley Mining for 170 million, so in terms of price, getting an autonomous galaxy for less than 200 million is simply a free choice.

"Robin, the biggest capital consumption for the establishment of the autonomous region is not the taxes paid to the administrative star to which it belongs, but the astronomical upfront investment. Moreover, in order to speed up the construction, the federal government has relatively relaxed financial requirements for the autonomous regions. As for your 150 million, I have assessed the figure according to the minimum tax standards of the Federal Autonomous Regions. At present, there has just been a pirate riot on the Ultra Nebula, and in this riot, the direct economic losses of the Federation are even as high as tens of billions, so if you can stabilize the border area of the Ultra Nebula, the Federation should not care how much tax it will collect on you, and you don't have to worry about this. ”

"Hmm...... 150 million, I can really handle it. "Roughly estimating the amount of rare substances traded in the future, Robin himself feels that this figure is not too much of a burden.

"Personally, I really hope that your project will be successful. At present, because of the pirate riot, the business environment of the entire Proxima Centauri has been messed up, and the Ministry of Commerce has almost nothing to do. And your project is already a big project in the current environment, and I can guarantee that as long as I officially hand over this proposal, I will definitely get the permission of the Minister of Commerce. So on my side, you can definitely rest assured. As for how to get the title of federal citizen, then there is nothing I can do. ”

"I'll figure it out on my own." Robin nodded and was about to get up and leave, but out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw a ring on Calvin's left hand.

Looking at the ring for a moment, Robin unexpectedly asked, "Are you engaged?" ”

"Well, I met my future father-in-law not long ago, and that's when I got engaged. But ......" Calvin scratched his head in embarrassment: "But because my current position is low, so for the time being? Ford doesn't plan to announce my marriage to his daughter, Nitty. ”

"Don't worry, as long as you help me do this, you will definitely be able to ascend." Robin patted Calvin on the shoulder and laughed.

"I think so too." Calvin showed an approving look: "You have always been my lucky star, and I have a hunch that we can succeed this time." ”

…… Leaving Calvin's office, Robin walked out of the door of the Department of Commerce as he pondered how to get the title of Federal Citizen, but just as he was about to step into the maglev truck, he vaguely heard a familiar voice calling out to him from behind.

Slightly surprised, Robin found that the person who shouted to him was actually Vincent? Alex's only son, Sean? Alex.

Robin vs. Sean? Alex had many contacts, and after Calvin left Alex Machinery, Sean, the company's crown prince, served as the commercial representative, responsible for maintaining Robin's and Martina's business relationship. The design drawings of a large number of machine tools and the J-9 space shuttle purchased by Robin were also provided by Sean, and even Robin once used Sean's personal account to steal a lot of internal information of Alex Machinery Company.

But this time, when Robin saw Sean again, he found that Sean seemed to be a different person, and that kind of spring breeze smug look completely covered up his original cowardly surname, and even the temperament of the whole person became completely different.

"Haha...... Sure enough, it's you. Why didn't you come to me when you arrived on Othello? Sean greeted Robin triumphantly, and the low profile he used to have when meeting Robin was completely gone.

"When I first arrived here, I came to the Ministry of Commerce first because I had some urgent things to do. If you hadn't stopped me, I would be on my way to your company right now. Robin was surprised by the change in Sean's temperament, but on the surface he was still enthusiastic.

"I heard about you, and it makes me proud to be your friend." Sean? Alex laughed and saluted Robin.

"Alright, don't make fun of me. Speaking of which, this is still thanks to your help, if you hadn't found me the design of the J-9 space shuttle, I wouldn't have the ability to enter the Ultra Nebula. ”

"Haha...... When you say that, I am even more proud. ”

"That's right." After a few pleasantries with Sean, Robin found an opportunity to cut to the topic: "Sean, I was going to go to you about something, do you have time to talk to me for a few minutes?" ”

"Absolutely." Sean waved casually, and then, a luxury maglev car almost the size of an RV drove over and parked in front of Robin.

"Let's get in the car and talk, this is my new car." Sean ostentatiously opens the door and invites Robin into the car.

The style of the car is extremely flamboyant, and the interior layout is also full of luxury. In the past, Sean, who has always been very low-key, would never have chosen such a car, but now, the sharp-edged Sean is full of a flamboyant temperament, and it is not so strange that he would choose such an exaggerated car.

In just over a month, Sean has changed from a cowardly person to such a flamboyant. Robin was very curious about what happened during this period, so he tried to find out what caused Sean's heart to change.

Before meeting Robin, Sean was a man with an extreme lack of self-confidence, so when he first took over Robin and Martina's business relationship, he always had a cowardly feeling. But in his heart, he is extremely eager to be recognized by his father, and he is eager to make some deeds that impress his father to prove himself. Therefore, when he received Robin's large purchase order, he would not curry favor with Robin at all costs.

And his change also began with the completion of Robin's order. As a result of this valuable order, his father, Vincent? Alex began to value his son even more, and subsequently appointed him as the head of Alex's business, in charge of bidding for the construction of Othello's orbit.

The Alex family owns more than half of the shares of the Locke Arsenal, and has always been mainly engaged in low-end products of civilian arms such as mercenary arms. Vincent? Alex didn't have much hope for Shaun to participate in the bidding, he just wanted to train him again. However, during the bidding process, a huge surprise suddenly came. The Osvid family's MK Arsenal suddenly gave up the bid at the last minute, which allowed Sean to get all the engineering projects on behalf of the Locke Arsenal in one fell swoop, and the total amount of the project was even enough to make the Locke Arsenal a first-class military enterprise.

In this way, an unexpected and amazing achievement completely inflated Sean's self-confidence, and he even overthrew his father, forcibly took over all the rights of Alex, and began to believe that he was an immortal genius in the business world.

When a person with low self-esteem gains self-confidence, it is such a result, after the backlog of self-confidence explodes, Sean completely lost himself, he subconsciously ignored the accidental surname in the process of his success, and attributed it all to his own ability. And his surname is also completely distorted under this change in the external environment.

Sean himself didn't realize this, but Robin clearly saw the hidden dangers hidden in him, and the accident that happened in that bid also made Robin quite concerned. Because this is obviously too unusual, no military factory will abandon such a large project for no reason, so there must be something unknown behind this incident.

Ansel, this should be your hand again......
