From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 228 My office bed is quite big

"These people are much weaker than I thought. They will give in after being scared by you."

In the temporary residence at the Elf Spaceport, Isabel, who was sitting behind Amber and squeezing his shoulders, complained.

On the table in front of the two of them were the 'Letters of Intent for Equity Transfer' sent by the boards of directors of Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense, agreeing to sell shares at a discount.

"No, no, no, I'm not scaring them."

Amber flipped through the letter of intent. Atlas' Elf Legal Department had confirmed the validity of the document, and the sales share and amount marked in it were consistent with Amber's request.

"If they don't agree, those guys in the financial business department will really take action, and then these major shareholders will only lose more."

"Is this the so-called 'bourgeois weakness' you once said?"

Hearing Isabel's words, Amber shook her finger.

"You misunderstood. The 'weakness of the bourgeoisie' is more reflected in certain special periods, such as a certain revolution initiated by the bourgeoisie."

"Why do you believe everything?"

Amber suddenly picked up Isabel and threw her on the bed, then closed the curtains with gesture instructions.

"Even if I say that I want to overthrow the monarchy and overthrow you feudal ruling class?"

"Wait, come again?! You guy! What's the difference between this and those luxuriant capitalists?!"

"Hahahaha~ Do you think I am a bourgeois now?"

"As long as you can do it and make the world a better place after the overthrow."

"Okay, then I will start by overthrowing you, a feudal noble."

But even so, this idea is not currently capable of being realized, and it will require a long period of precipitation and development.

"I believe."

Every quarter as a shareholder, I transfer the dividends directly into the company account. You haven't seen my bank account. Is there any money in it?
If I really wanted money, wouldn't it be enough to open a mining company and make war fortune?
Why should I open a private military company and continue to expand the size of the armed forces? "

"Isn't it?" Isabel was a little confused about Amber's question.
"Isn't Atlas yours? After this period of operation and fighting, the company has grown so much?"

"Because I don't want 'bourgeois weakness' to appear in myself."

"You want to make a revolution?"

Isabel ignored Amber's gag and stared at him seriously.

This eldest lady is good at everything, but she believes in her own words so much that she believes whatever she says.

Seeing Isabel raising her head proudly, Amber couldn't help but think of her old father, Earl Jonathan, who was light years away.

Amber wasn't kidding though.

This lord count really gave birth to a 'great filial daughter'.

"Oh, you, a noble lady, when did you become so enlightened?"

Because they don’t want to lose the wealth they have accumulated, they are afraid of going from being rich to living on the streets.
When the power in their hands is not enough to overcome the difficulties at hand, they are often willing to choose less risky methods. "

Yaoguang Defense was directly written off, and those who were willing to stay - mainly front-line combatants - were all integrated into the Atlas Private Military Company after passing Lilith's strict online screening.

After the successful completion of the corporate reorganization, the 'Atlas Group', which consists of three subsidiaries: Atlas Industry, Mining, and Private Military, made its grand debut.

And Ellenita, who has been overwhelmed by family affairs, finally took the time to 'relax' at the Tower of Babel.

Isabel's serious look made Amber not know what to say for a moment.

“If you go to the finance department and look at it, you will know that everyone in the company has corresponding wages, but I don’t.

The acquisitions of Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense were carried out very smoothly under the control of the bosses of the financial business department.

"Isa, your thinking is a bit off."

"Why are you doing this?" Isabel put away her original intention of teasing Amber, got up seriously and sat next to him.

Under her gaze, Amber finally raised her hands in surrender.

Listening to Amber's words, Isabel nodded in understanding, then suddenly thought of something in her mind, and said in a teasing tone:
"What about you, Amber? Are you also a bourgeois? Do you also have such a 'weakness'?"

"Because I think you are serious."

"Well that's not the case."

"Do you believe me when I say I want to end all wars and bring mankind into the era of happy reunion?"

"So it's not appropriate to use it here?"

Amber leaned her head back on a soft spot, thought for a moment and then continued:

"Yes, the wealth gained from selling shares is enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. If those people in the financial business department really complete the short selling, causing a panic in the stock price, then they will really cry to death. ”

"Is that why they are willing to sell their shares at a discount?"

"In fact, it can be applied here. After all, these wealthy people are the most afraid of risks. Compared with the proletariat, the bourgeoisie has more worries.

"No, hedonism and capitalism are two completely different things. I will make this clear to you in a moment~"

Mary Bay Industries also changed its company registration information, changed its name to Atlas Industries, and transferred its company registration location to the Thousand Stars Empire.

But for now, Amber decided to end the topic.

Yes, relax.

As for the inspection work of Atlas, Ellenita said it was a kind of relaxing behavior.

"Anyway, you have run the company so well. I just need to wait for the dividends to come in every quarter. Isn't this relaxing?"

Ms. Ellenita said this while sitting in Amber's office and eating a bun on his desk.

"You're really serious and aren't you afraid that we'll take the money and abscond, or that poor management will bring down the company?"

"I'm very good at reading people, Mr. Amber~" Ellenita stared directly at Amber, while tearing off a small piece of the bun in her hand with her mouth.

If she was only slightly interested in Amber before, then after hearing her subordinates summarize Atlas' recent actions and results.

'One point' has become '100 million points'.

"By the way, as mentioned in the email you sent before, you really don't intend to list Atlas?"

Ellenita suddenly remembered this and asked.

"It's very simple. After the listing, the equity is dispersed, and it is very likely that I will not have the final say in the subsequent companies. Atlas is not an ordinary company in my plan, and I don't want other forces to have the opportunity to intervene. "

"It's a pity. If it were listed, a lot of financing would be raised."

"Ms. Yuge, take a long-term view. There will be many opportunities to make money in the future."

Amber looked at the female elf and said meaningfully.

"Then I look forward to the day you mentioned coming. By the way, there is one more thing."

The rich elf woman came here not only to inspect but also to relax.

He also brought other news to Amber.

"The news related to the Roma Marine Corps has caused great repercussions within the Thousand Stars Empire, especially among the Roma community."

Ellenita lay lazily on the 'boss chair' prepared for her by Amber, her whole posture emphasizing a 'defenseless' look.

"According to reports from sites set up in various places, the number of Roma people, especially young male Roma people, who have signed up to join Atlas has increased significantly. Maybe you are about to usher in a large wave of new troops, Mr. Amber~"

"It's normal. After all, for them, working for a private military company is a very novel occupation."

Amber was not surprised by the situation described by Ellenita. He nodded and continued:

"In addition, the first batch of Roma Marines suffered very little losses in recent battles. Even in the most dangerous gang-hopping battles, only two were killed and less than ten were injured.

But compared to the traditional industries they were engaged in in the Thousand Stars Empire, the remuneration was already an astronomical figure, so it was quite normal that the willingness to sign up had increased significantly recently.

I predict that after some time, their novelty wears off and the casualty rate of the Marines begins to rise, the number of people signing up will still drop. "

Amber paused and then asked a slightly sensitive question.

"I'm more concerned about another thing than the reaction of Roma people"

"The reaction of our elves?"

"Hmm~"

Ellenita gave a look like, 'I knew you'd ask that', then pulled out her terminal and sent Amber a file.

"There is good news and bad news, it's all in it, you can see for yourself~"

The female elf curled up her whole body into the large boss chair, not caring at all about the spring light leaking under the gauze.

"Your chair is quite comfortable. I'm going to sit here for a while."

"Rest on the chair? Are you sure you don't want to lie down on the bed? The bed in my office is quite big."

"I dare to lie down. The question is, do you dare to let me lie down?"

The female elf's expression became very playful. She stared at Amber with interest, wondering how this interesting human would react.

"You can rest, I'm going to read the report."

"It's really boring without teasing~"

Ellenita began to nap with her eyes squinted, and she fell asleep really quickly.

It can be seen that this female elf has been really busy recently.

Amber didn't bother her, but opened the report she sent.

After the content inside was organized by her assistant, it was very easy to read.

The reaction within the Thousand Stars Empire was actually similar to what Amber had predicted before.

The battle between conservatives and liberals has become more intense than before after the Roma Marines "sparked" in Amber's hands.

Several representatives of the equal rights faction took the opportunity to publicize that 'Roma people also have their own way of living! 'Such slogans hope to make Roma and ordinary elven civilians 'awaken'.

Conservatives, on the other hand, started to exaggerate the "Roma threat theory" using the term "Roma Marine Corps".

In their mouths, it seems that if they give the Roma a gun today, they will be able to overthrow the Elf King's Court tomorrow.
Regarding the dispute between the two factions, the 'Lingping faction' headed by the Elf Royal Court continued to maintain a state of watching the show and did not make any comments.

However, Ellenita's intelligence network still obtained a piece of confirmed information.

That is, the Elf Royal Court privately summoned representatives of the two factions in an official capacity, and the meaning expressed was very simple:
"It's okay for you two to have a verbal quarrel, but if someone escalates to a violent incident, don't worry that the royal court didn't warn you."

It can be said that it nakedly threatened and beat both sides aside.

"The attitude of the Elf Royal Court is really confusing."

After reading the report, Amber relaxed on the chair and scratched her head.

Because before he traveled through time, the large-scale DLC that took the Empire of Thousand Stars as the stage and showed the entanglement between the elves and the Roma people had not yet been officially launched.

So Amber can't make prescient predictions like she can for other times.

After thinking for a moment, he put these questions aside for now.

After all, although the Thousand Stars Empire has such hidden social dangers, it will not cause much impact in a short period of time.

On the contrary, the internal problems between the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire have intensified.

This precious window period left for Amber’s development is coming to an end.

Just when Amber finished thinking about these things and was about to take a nap on the chair, an urgent message from Lilith made him immediately energetic.
