Su Mu, Nana and her newly recruited brother Franco re-stand on the air harbor of the star of Mertura. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy that we have successfully completed the trade route, earning a total profit of 280 million, deducting the supply costs along the way, and having more than 200 million liquidity."
Listening to Su Mu's narration, both Nana and Franco were very excited, they knew the meaning of this number, even if the Kingdom of Faron in the era of the Great Exploration was a place where it was easy to make money through trade, and to this extent, it was really no different from printing money.
Su Mu stretched out his hand and motioned to the two of them, "However, it is worthy of the most turbulent time of the Great Exploration Era, according to the news sent by the quantum communication instrument between the Lighthouse Star and the Mertura Star, the fleet of the Faron Kingdom has gone 2.5 light years deeper into the unknown land, and has made more exciting progress. ”
Others didn't know what this meant, Su Mu knew that it meant that the Faron Kingdom was one step away from the distant star gate of the first stage of the Eastern Route, and it was about to come to the most glorious moment of the Great Exploration Era 1.0.
Therefore, even though there are still several years before the first stage is really completed, Su Mu feels that it can be easily prepared.
His goal of preparation is not direct participation, but indirect involvement, since driving the spaceship directly to the eastern route will definitely be envied and hated by all the pioneers, in exchange for the establishment of the pioneer in the place of passage, let himself become the pioneer noble, control a large number of industries, let the pioneer specifically provide supplies, commodity transit, entertainment services, shelter and other functions, it will not be so eye-catching.
The place where he intended to establish the frontier was precisely on the planet of San Calan, near the Gate of the Distant Star, and this place had a unique advantage, and although it was already known, its value was not yet recognized.
That said, at present, the construction commission for the pioneer has been issued, and no one cares about it for the time being, waiting for an aspiring pioneer like himself to pick it up...
Su Mu then said to them: "Therefore, in view of the rapid change of the situation, I think it is time to participate in the development of the eastern route to a certain extent. You see, this is the commission to build the Saint-Calan Frontier, so what if the Eastern Route is discovered? The value of this land is bound to skyrocket. ”
Su Mu showed the two of them the commission he had found from Baron Asturias from the planet Mertura.
Franco looked at it: "Boss, don't we continue to trade?" It's hard to find such a good route, and in a few years, we will be able to save billions, or even tens of billions of wealth! ”
Su Mu shook his head: "I mean, we need to do this by the way, which is equivalent to not putting our eggs in one basket, while completing the commission, the trade will continue, and now that we have money, we can hire more crew members to help us, there is nothing abnormal about going hand in hand." ”
"So that's the case, then I don't have an opinion." Franco saw that the trade he cared about the most was still going on, and he settled down at once.
Nana keenly grasped the key to the question and asked, "Su Mu, why did you choose this commission?" St. Calan is extremely remote in the unknown land, and it will take nearly two months for the spaceship to pass, so there is no better choice? ”
"Well, it's very simple, since it is said that we want to get involved properly, there will be less choice, at the moment, only the construction of the pioneer is relatively safe, and after completion, we can strive for the noble status of the pioneer, if the value of the pioneer increases, we will have a foothold, and if not, it may even be abandoned in the future, then we will not lose too much."
After some explanations by Su Mu, they established the following plan, according to the division of labor, Su Mu will temporarily be responsible for the commission of building the development site, and Nana and Franco will continue to run their trade routes to make money for themselves, of course, the two are not completely independent.
For example, first of all, Su Mude officially established a company, and the scale of their development activities will become larger and larger, but they are no longer "self-employed", and they must go to register in accordance with the law.
The name of the company is Dong Liugu Company, and the word Liugu comes from the name of the mysterious ancient country in the travelogue "Oriental Experience" of a pioneer who lived through multiple star clusters for thousands of years in the dark ages.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Liugu is the end of the eastern route pursued by the pioneers, a country that controls hundreds of planets and 500 billion people, a country with a caste system, a way of ascetic cultivation that twists the body into a twisted shape, and a country that grows in the local and surrounding areas with rich food tastes, prolonging life, creating illusions, enhancing the ability of a certain part, and other various functional plants, a country full of gold for the pioneers.
After the registration was completed, he pulled Nana and Franco in, and issued a notice to recruit crew members in the local area, due to the advent of the era of great exploration, places like Mertura Star were deeply affected, and there were countless ordinary people who wanted to be pioneers and wanted to get on the ship, plus they did not set the harsh conditions, who made them currently unknown, at most there was a little money and an old faster-than-light spaceship, and the result of lowering the threshold was that the number of crew members who came to apply for the expedition reached a terrifying 10,000 level.
Su Mu directly asked Nana and Franco to choose, this batch of 20 crew members is to listen to their orders, of which 15 will be responsible for the chores on the spaceship, security, and 5 will be responsible for assisting in trade, but because the additional conditions they give are not too high, who can't afford to hire a powerful pioneer crew, and they must be loyal, lest the secrets of the route be exposed in advance and there is no way to defend their interests, so after screening, there are not many remaining crew members who meet the conditions.
After the selection, the selected crew members were invited to the dock to report, and standing in front of their ship was considered to be the first meeting.
"Crew, welcome to the Toryuko Company." After Nana's opening remarks, she found that she didn't seem to know what to say.
The crew members started to discuss it on their own, and it was, hey, the captain is so young! Although the adjutant is a beautiful girl, can he really lead them? Who's the little boy over there? Who brought their underage son here? Yunyun.
Nana's face suddenly appeared cloudy, do you have such a vase?
Franco was a little dissatisfied, the one who said he was a child, stood up for me.
Even if the crew is generally right, don't forget the reality of who is the boss, in addition, they are indeed a little young, and their ability is not at the level of the crew at all.
"If in doubt, leave now!" Nana scolded loudly.
The crew was stunned and muttered low.
"We're fine!" Immediately, the Organic Crew responded.
The rest of the crew reacted, and a flurry of responses, either compliments, or expressions of loyalty, or simply kept their mouths shut.
There are not too many requirements, plus a good return, what if the top boss is a child? Does it have anything to do with them? Can you find a similar job elsewhere? If you think about it this way, it's easy to see why the crew behaved the way they did.
Su Mu knew that Nana, Franco and the 20 new crew members still had a period of familiarity, but this was their business, it had nothing to do with him, he still pulled the crew into the Higashimu company, and as a result, his company looked like it was beginning to take shape, and it no longer looked like a leather bag company.
Next, he will visit Baron Asturias, who will be entrusted with the official commission, further preparations for the first phase of the Eastern Route in four years.
