From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 604 Atlas's Negotiation Method

For these "local forces", selling off the factories and large industrial clusters in their hands is actually a completely zero-cost "transaction".

This is because most of the factories and other physical industries they own have just been "taken over" from the federal government and various companies and chaebols.

The surfaces of many buildings and equipment still bear traces of the "takeover" process to varying degrees.

And now, they can exchange these industries that are somewhat troublesome to manage for the hard currency they urgently need - the "energy points" of the Thousand Star Empire. This is also the only currency among the three major mainstream currencies that maintains a strong exchange rate.

What's more, after taking over these enterprises and factories, the Atlas Group will often resume work and production in a short period of time, restore normal production order, and sometimes even expand and recruit more industrial workers.

This is naturally welcomed by the various "rebel forces" because it means that the order in the areas they control will become increasingly stable under this trend.

The resumption of production in these factories and enterprises, especially the reproduction of daily necessities, will also quickly reduce the soaring prices in the controlled areas and restore stability.

After obtaining funds from Atlas, these local forces will basically use most of them to purchase various weapons and equipment from the Atlas Group to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of their armed forces - some larger forces even consider placing orders with Atlas to purchase warships.

On the one hand, they do need these weapons to arm themselves and enhance their strength so as to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the federal government and other forces; on the other hand, Atlas' weapons and equipment do have huge advantages in quality and performance.

During this period, whether it is individual exoskeletons and power armor led by the "Crazy Crocodile" series, heavy ground equipment led by the "Xiandeng" export-oriented main battle tank, or HCP led by the monkey version of "Holy Shield", they have all become star equipment in the arms market.

The many public battles of the Atlas ground combat forces are the best advertisements for these equipment.

Not to mention that after the news of the Renaissance Alliance sweeping the Rubion Galaxy using the Atlas Group's equipment spread, the advertising effect became even stronger. Atlas Military's orders have long been full, and the "deposits" from various forces alone are already an astronomical figure.
So from the perspective of those organizations and forces that trade with the Atlas Group, it is equivalent to the Atlas Group "giving money" to them from afar, and then helping to manage these enterprises, and incidentally stabilizing social order, controlling prices, and finally providing them with a very reliable channel for importing arms.
Because most of the forces that trade with the Atlas Group do not think there is anything wrong with allowing the Atlas Group to intervene in their areas.

The factories, mines, and refineries on the surfaces of these planets cannot be towed away like the docks in deep space, so no matter what tricks the Atlas Group plays, these things are under its control. Are you trying to pack up my entire planet and take it away?

The leaders and high-ranking officials who thought this way were the ones who had polite talks with the Atlas Group representatives.

They did not see the fangs of the Atlas Group, and naturally looked down on the Atlas Group that came to discuss business, thinking that this company was no different from the giant companies and chaebols that they had already wiped out.
As time goes by, they will come to their senses and regret their original decision, but by that time everything will be irreversible.

As for whether there are any forces or organizations that have seen the "fangs" of the Atlas Group?
Of course there are, and human biological diversity determines this.

While most forces were secretly happy and honestly handed over assets to Atlas, some forces with different ideas had bad ideas during the negotiation with Atlas Group.——
On a colonized planet that had just overthrown the galaxy's autonomous government and put many tycoons and capitalists who had no time to escape on the street lamps, the leader of a certain force, Hake, who had temporarily gained control of the local area, and Cassius, the representative of the Atlas Financial Business Center, were sitting in a temporary cabin car camp set up by the Atlas Group and conducting intense negotiations. Hake's face was stern, and his eyes revealed an unnatural stubbornness and unyielding:
"Your terms are too harsh. We can't possibly transfer our factories and shipyards at such a price. These are the industries we have fought for with great sacrifices. You are blatantly plundering us!"

"Plunder? Chief Hake, you are so ashamed to tell me about plunder? It's a joke. Besides, the prices we offer have been calculated many times by business experts. You will definitely not suffer any loss."

Cassius had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's:
"Captain Hake, you have to face the reality. The current situation is not favorable to you. God knows when the regular army of the federal government will return to this galaxy. If you fail at that time, you will be left with nothing. We, Atlas, can provide you with the much-needed funds and channels to purchase first-class weapons. This is your best choice at the moment."

Hake slammed the table and stood up: "We will never succumb to your pressure! We have our own dignity and bottom line. The worst that can happen is that we will fight the federal government to the death."

The negotiations suddenly broke down, and Hake stood up abruptly. He felt that it was a very respectful act for him to negotiate with these representatives of the Atlas Group as a leader.

But the other party's conditions and that unwavering attitude made him feel extremely unhappy, so he wanted to say something harsh or threaten the other party with force at this moment.

However, thinking about the camp outside the shelter, which was heavily defended and had a large number of heavy equipment and elite armed forces that he had never seen before, he felt that if he threatened now, he might not be able to leave.
So after a moment, Huck just angrily left the conference room where the quarantine vehicle was deployed with his men, while Cassius and the others just sat there and watched them slam the door and leave.

"Poor negotiation skills, rough pressure methods. I can't remember how long it has been since I experienced this level of business negotiation. I'm afraid my little niece would be better than him."

Another sales representative sitting next to Cassius spoke up.

Cassius shook his head. "A dozen days ago, many of them were just ordinary people. How much negotiation skills can you expect them to have? It's good enough that they can understand the acquisition application we submitted."

"So what should we do next? Deal with them again?" asked another business representative.

"No, we don't have that much federal time to waste with them. The task list updated two hours ago has two new targets waiting for us to negotiate~"

As Cassius spoke, he took out his "Financial Business Center Customized Edition" personal terminal and quickly clicked on it a few times.

"I called the fleet directly. Since the local forces don't understand our current negotiation method, let's try a method they can understand~"
