From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 270 What we sell is service

Lubion 5 geostationary orbit, foreign ship mooring area.

A private cruise ship and two frigates, with the Atlas logo printed on them, slowly sailed into the space reserved for them.

This cruise ship, kindly sponsored by the rich elf lady Ellenita, is currently used as Atlas's exclusive 'reception ship', used to receive important customers of some companies.

And Perseus, the Prince Regent’s special envoy, became the first Atlas customer to experience this cruise ship.

"How have you been resting these past few days, Mr. Perseus?"

In an elf-style tea room on the cruise ship, Shikodi asked Perseus opposite her with a decent smile.

"It's very good. This is my first time on a cruise ship made by elves. I have to say that it is indeed a rare experience. The comfort level of elves' ships is indeed much higher than that of our human ships."

Perseus seemed very interested in this topic, and he was full of praise for this elf cruise ship.

"I dare say that among the ships in the human world, perhaps the private ships of the imperial royal family and nobles are also very luxurious, but in terms of comfort alone, they are still somewhat different from your elven ships. Maybe only our Majesty's ship can be compared.”

After Shikodi bowed slightly and left, he closed the door of the conference room and turned on the 'black box mode'.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost lively, Shikodi continued:

"Mr. Perseus has given you too much praise. I believe that the nobles of your Star Dragon Empire are also very accomplished in this field."

For Perseus, this is not good news. According to the information he knows, high-level psykers may have the ability to influence people's thinking.

There is only a long transparent table and the man sitting at the end of the long table.

"Very well, then I'll get right to the point."

This ability can give psykers unimaginable advantages in some important negotiations.

Amber's voice passed directly into Perseus's mind, and the latter quickly reacted - this was the effect of psychic energy.

"Haha, everyone in Atlas is really good at joking." Perseus smiled, and then continued:

"The person you wish to meet this time has arrived via transport boat and is now waiting for you in the conference room. Mr. Perseus, do you want to go directly to the main part of your visit?"

"Please take a seat, Mr. Perseus. You are welcome to come from afar."

"You can rest assured that every word spoken in this room will not be known by a third person."

"As expected of you, you are indeed very cautious."

Perseus nodded and continued:

“Of course, I wish for it.
-
Soon, Perseus was guided to a spacious conference room in the cruise ship. There were no extra decorations and no waiters waiting on either side.

"It's not easy to meet you, Mr. Amber."

"I can't help it, we've been too busy recently~" Amber spread her hands,

"Presumably Mr. Amber already knows my purpose of coming. With my identity, coming to this sensitive area at this sensitive time can also show our sincerity, right?"

"Of course, since the Regent has found out my identity and is willing to send envoys to such a place to negotiate with me, I naturally believe in your sincerity."

However, as the regent's special envoy, Perseus could be considered a person who had seen strong winds and waves, so he calmed down and pulled out his chair and sat down.

"You see, it's already so busy that I, the chairman, have to run the business myself."

"As entrusted by His Excellency the Regent, I am here to meet you this time to conduct business negotiations on the 'real-time transmission technology of inter-galactic information' and 'network information dissemination technology' in the hands of Atlas - to put it simply, Your Excellency the Prince Regent is willing to purchase these two technologies at an absolutely sincere price.”

Perseus did not beat around the bush, but explained his purpose very directly.

Amber did not speak directly, but after staring at Perseus for a while, she replied:
"I think you must have misunderstood something. We at Atlas are a service company and will not directly sell our technology. We will only provide corresponding services based on customer needs.

This is a very simple truth, we cannot sell our jobs.”

"But the price we are willing to offer is also very sincere. Mr. Amber, don't you really want to hear it?"

"I think you and the Prince Regent should both understand the significance of these two technologies. Do you think they can be measured in terms of 'value'?"

Amber smiled, with an expression on her face that seemed to say, 'Dude, do you think I'm stupid? Perseus also had some embarrassment on his face. As the regent's client, he naturally knew the value of these two technologies, and also knew how outrageous it was to come directly to buy them.

Looking at the expression on the imperial noble's face, Amber continued to smile and said:

“How about we discuss purchasing our services?
As the first customer of this business, you can enjoy the strongest annual discount, and you will also receive additional services including but not limited to armed intervention, VIP protection, military unit training, and defense contracting~"

"I know that purchasing services can achieve the same effect, but some things involve our privacy after all, and it may not be convenient for you to operate them after purchasing services."

Perseus looked embarrassed, obviously he also knew that some things could not be said openly.

Amber showed a 'you don't have to worry about this at all' expression and said:
“You don’t have to worry about this at all, and I hope you can tell His Excellency the Regent that we at Atlas are a company with very professional ethics and corporate credibility, and we will never reveal any secrets of our customers.

No matter what you want to use our services for, as long as it does not harm the interests of Atlas, we will not have any restrictions.

Even if it is something that cannot be discussed in public, we will not restrict it.”

When he said the last sentence, Amber glanced at Perseus with ulterior motives, and the latter also looked at him with a meaningful look.

After a while, Amber added the last sentence:
"I believe you also know that we, Atlas, are a company registered in the Thousand Stars Empire, and our company's style is also 'extremely pro-foreign.' Any customer who cooperates with us will be our forever friend.

Therefore, we will not favor any party due to any positional reasons. "

After listening to what Amber said, Perseus thought for a while and then asked: "Even if your company may cooperate with two mutually hostile forces in the future, will this be the case?"

"That's natural. We at Atlas Group will always put our own credibility first and will never do anything to damage our own brand.

If the situation you mentioned does arise, we will only provide service support to both parties, and they are both the 'food and clothing parents' of our Atlas, so we will never favor any party.

If it also involves services related to armed intervention and defense contracting, we will only reach an agreement with the customer we cooperate with first, and will not provide this type of service to both parties at the same time."

Amber spoke a lot skillfully, because these things were already imprinted in his mind.

After thinking about taking the path of becoming a giant enterprise, he had already led a group of professionals to make plans in this area.

How to maximize benefits?

How to make money with mutually hostile customers at the same time?

Before becoming bigger and stronger, how can you maintain your position without favoring any party, so that potential customers can trust Atlas and then reach cooperation?
Etc., etc
In fact, Atlas already has methods and plans to deal with these problems.

The masters of enlightenment in the financial business department couldn't sit still after they figured out what kind of big job Amber wanted.

“This is the fucking utopia for people like us.”

Therefore, these people are also the most caring people when assisting Amber in corporate strategic planning.

One by one, they showed the same drive to study hard as they did when they were in school. Under the leadership of several top leaders, they quickly worked out a strategic development plan suitable for Atlas.

Although this plan still needs to be continuously optimized and adjusted in the process of practical exploration, Atlas now has a 'guiding' code of conduct anyway.

At this moment, Perseus, who was sitting opposite Amber, was surprised that this company, which was established less than a year ago, had developed to such a mature stage and was extremely clear about its positioning.

As someone close to the regent, he could also be entrusted to come for negotiations, so he naturally obtained a lot of information from Norton II.

For example, he was one of the few people who knew the news that Amber was still alive and had gone to the Thousand Stars Empire to open a company.

"Mr. Amber, I understand everything you said. But it is not a simple matter. I believe it is also an important project for you. So, please forgive me for not being able to give an answer immediately. I may need to sort it out. Please read this information and then report to His Excellency the Regent.”

"Of course, no problem. Just report it, Mr. Perseus. If you need us to prepare any materials, just tell me."

Amber made a 'please' gesture and then added:

"By the way, since you are going to report to His Excellency the Regent who is far away in the empire, do you need to experience our 'cross-system communication service project'?

We have recently expanded our communication scope to your country, which should make your reporting much more efficient. "

"Oh? Free trial project?" Perseus smiled.

"Of course, there is no charge~"
