Two days later.
A large destroyer asuring over 150 ters in length, accompanied by two frigates, docked alongside the pier at Yalong Bay.
A blue Rolls-Royce Phantom erged from the warship's hatch and drove up to Zhou Yi waiting on the shore.
Its lights flickered montarily in greeting: "It's been a few months, I hear that Mr. Zhou has not only gained the allegiance of the Stinger Man but has also developed the miraculous Dead Sea Fruit. Wasteland Developnt Company's innovations are endless, commanding envy from many."
"rely luck."
Zhou Yi responded briefly.
Guste directed the headlights of the vehicle towards the military ship behind him: "May I introduce to you, this is the Chairman of Yin Shang Asset Managent Company, Chaoge."
The white destroyer issued a loud, clear voice: "Guste has been highly recomnding and introducing this to , insisting that I must visit to witness Chairman Zhou and the charm of Wasteland Company."
"The Sand Port Region is a barren area scarce in resources, which has been transford into its current state within a few years. It has gained fa for its affluence and stability. Chairman Zhou really is formidable."
"You flatter ."
Zhou Yi, not particularly fond of pleasantries, steered the conversation back to business: "I still don't quite understand the nature of Yin Shang Company. All I was told is that it's a family company, but the specifics were not clarified."
Guste explained: "Please don't bla 703, Mr. Zhou; it was I who did not go into detail with it. The reason is that it involves so sensitive information that could potentially be intercepted if transmitted through external chanical stacks."
"I shall now introduce to you the details of Yin Shang Asset Managent Company."
"The purpose of our company's founding is to manage high-quality properties on behalf of various clients and to deal with distressed assets."
"To put it simply, there are two major directions: we appreciate our clients' properties through a series of operations and investnts, and we also recover loans that cannot be returned to the clients."
It continued: "At present, the publicly disclosed portion of high-quality properties managed by our company includes several mbers of the Rolls-Royce family and a number of mbers of the Red Flag family. They are all chanical life forms with substantial wealth and industries, and have entrusted their assets to our company for managent."
"On the other hand, our company also undertakes many orders of distressed assets and is in the process of debt collection from nurous cities and organizations."
Zhou Yi quickly realized: "You are acting on behalf of the Rolls-Royce family."
"Yes."
Guste confird directly.
Zhou Yi's mind suddenly beca clear.
No wonder Guste never considered joining the company; it was itself part of a vested interest group, representing the will of the Rolls-Royce family.
"However, Mr. Zhou, as you know, due to the structure of chanical life forms, we are subjected to nurous strong constraints. All individual agreents, cooperation, and alliances can be annulled by the universal protocol in one fell swoop. Thus, it has been difficult for us to effectively unite in the past."
But, Guste went on, "the technology of the chanical Knight Order has broken this monopolistic rule."
"Their 'Sunday' program can break through the blockades of universal protocols. Another program they developed, [Family], solves another significant problem."
"With the installation of [Family], the Rolls-Royce and Red Flag families have been able to establish true family organizations. Each mber is closely connected through this program, unaffected by external influences, and integrates it into the deepest main programs to establish permanent chanical bloodline connections."
"This grants us a truly close and trusting group."
"Yin Shang Asset Managent Company is established on this technological system."
Guste projected an image of a pyramid on the ground: "There are four layers of structure within our company."
"At the very bottom, making up the largest number, are employees. As long as they et the company's requirents, they can be employed, regardless if they are human, Bone Man, or Guangna Species."
"The third layer consists of 'brothers', currently limited to chanical life forms. This layer requires the installation of the 'bloodline' program within the [Family] system. They are all siblings with inheritance rights to the whole family's wealth and also have the duty to protect other bloodline individuals."
"The second layer consists of 'parents', who will install the 'parent-child' relationship, establishing a guardianship with the bloodlines they govern. The parents provide resources to the siblings, issue orders to them, and represent a higher-level group. Parents establish and manage a family, with each family being responsible for certain specific affairs. The family also acts as the internal functional departnt of the company."
"The first and highest decision-making layer consists of the 'family head'. The family head is the decision maker integrating multiple families and will represent the interests of these families in the highest decision-making and voting."
Guste highlighted the peak of the projected pyramid: "Both the Rolls-Royce and Red Flag families have a family head."
"The greatest advantage of a family-style company is the assured unanimity in external actions, effectively safeguarding mutual interests. Compared to the loose and scattered urban model, the family structure is more cohesive and combative, with a higher degree of autonomy."
Zhou Yi understood.
Yin Shang Company was essentially a family conglorate, simply wrapped in the guise of a corporation.
The universal protocol transford chanical lives into screws fixed in their positions, using work and uniform managent to dissolve potential collective resistance.
The family program reconnected them, continuously expanding based on the family as the foundational unit, building a vast and closely-knit family enterprise.
They were using a man-made clan system to counterattack the industrialized society.
A true upheaval of the natural order.
One could only say, if there's a role for you on the grand stage of the Wasteland, co play your part.
Zhou Yi asked another question: "Then, what is Chairman Chaoge's position?"
"The chairman is naturally the highest administrator of the entire company. Every mber of the company, from the lowest-level employees to the decision-making family heads, requires the chairman's appointnt to take effect."
"Mr. Chaoge is the founder of our company, nad by Yin Shang Company, and is a chanical hero recognized and invited by the Rolls-Royce and Red Flag families with great difficulty. Without Mr. Chaoge's reputation and credit, no amount of investnt could have established the company."
Guste held it in high esteem.
Destroyer Chaoge elaborated, "I enjoy the process of creating sothing from nothing, just like building Peace City in the past. When Guste found and introduced to his ideas and the family company model, I thought it was a very interesting form and organization."
"If Yin Shang Company can develop, it will bring so changes to the stagnant chanical society and also give many struggling chanical life forms a glimr of hope and new options."
Zhou Yi understood.
This one was particularly interested in the entrepreneurship and pioneering work itself.
As chairman, Chaoge had absolute personnel authority and was the supre authority of the company.
Zhou Yi remarked, "But your company deals with asset managent. Its core should be to find tycoons or magnates. It would be quite difficult to cooperate with our company."
"There are quite a few high-quality assets right here."
Guste said, "Our company wishes to negotiate over the Light Amber Mine in Shell City, and we hope to take on its property managent on behalf of your company."
"The Yin Shang Company has sufficient transport capacity and channels to ship the Light Amber from here to regions in short supply, thereby achieving a return that exceeds the average market price."
"Furthermore, the Leshan Buddha and Dead Sea Fruit Tree are extrely high-quality assets. If you are willing, we would also like to discuss potential cooperation on this matter..."
The Leshan Buddha and Dead Sea Fruit are out of the question.
Originally the developnt of Light Amber Mines was ti-consuming and labor-intensive, and there was certain wastage involved, so handing it over to the professional Yin Shang Company seed like a good idea.
Unfortunately, now that the Pan Tree has been cultivated, the Light Amber Mine has beco an important supply of logistics fertilizer.
Moreover, given the grand plan involving Hei Fu's evolution into the Light Core Body, there can be no mishaps in logistics.
Zhou Yi resolutely refused.
"What a pity."
Guste was not discouraged: "If Mr. Zhou has other industries in need of our managent services, you can contact us at any ti."
"I have already sent my contact information to 703, you can directly reach through them."
"Alright."
"On another note, our company wishes to purchase 2000 single-person gliders and 270 passenger gliders."
Zhou Yi felt a headache coming on when he heard this.
Gliders were indeed very popular, but now orders were backed up for the next five years.
He had no choice but to tell the truth: "... That is the current situation, and we are in the process of further increasing our production capacity."
"The demand is so great that the ti fra is just too long..."
The luminosity of Guste's headlights dimd slightly, showing a sign of disappointnt, yet it seed to be pondering sothing.
It suddenly proposed, "I have already consulted with Chairman Chaoge, and we have a suggestion now. Since your company needs related manufacturing semi-finished products, Yin Shang Company owns immovable property capable of manufacturing a large number of processed goods—enough to undertake the manufacturing of enhanced vehicles. Gliders should also be manageable."
"If your company agrees, we can provide a guaranteed supply of ample glider parts and components. All that is needed is for you to provide the relevant technical specifications and send over a few technicians to complete the sample replication."
"This would not only rapidly deploy the gliders but would also fulfill our own need for flight vehicle replenishnt... The most important point is, with enough gliders in large volus, we could penetrate and compete in the existing flight transportation market."
Zhou Yi asked, "What are your terms?"
"To share this technology and allow us to independently develop high-end models."
Guste made no attempt to conceal its intentions: "The truth is, the thin profit margins of gliders are not sothing Yin Shang Company would consider. But the flight transportation industry is a huge high-profit market. We wish to share this technology as a weapon, to speed up the updating and popularization process, thereby challenging the existing air transport industry."
"With this, our side could focus our efforts on strategizing early, selling high and buying low, eventually acquiring so high-quality assets. This includes Flying System chanical lifeforms, as well as airports, maintenance stations, aviation hubs, and so on."
Zhou Yi pondered over this for a long while.
This decision was not an easy one.
Gliders were a hot ticket item and would continue to bring larger scale exclusive profits to the company in the foreseeable future.
However.
With ti progressing, it was inevitable that the chanics of the glider's flight wire system would be deciphered.
Given enough ti, the flight paraters of the flight wire could be tested, leading to the production of replica gliders.
As with Jade Soup in the past, many imitations are now available on the market, which does have a certain impact and puts pressure on the sales of the genuine Jade Soup.
There are also highly crafted imitations of the Fla Cup.
In the Wasteland era, combating piracy and counterfeit goods is wishful thinking.
What the company can do is continually introduce new products, maintaining a higher and updated tech level, and setting the industry's product standards.
Cooperating with erging companies is also a whole new opportunity.
After making up his mind, Zhou Yi said, "Alright."
"Then that's wonderful!"
Guste happily said, "This trip wasn't in vain. Although we didn't secure the mining agency rights, we've obtained a more important capital weapon!"
Both parties signed an electronic agreent as companies.
The agreent was notarized by the chanical Knight Order, with the violating party being liable to pay a high penalty fee, or else risk losing the support of the chanical Knight Order, which would make their developed related software unusable.
Zhou Yi was not particularly concerned about this.
The core of the agreent was the credit of both parties themselves.
In the current environnt, a collaboration between the two companies was beneficial for both sides.
On the 7th day of officially starting a partnership with Yin Shang Company, six large ships arrived at Yalong Bay, delivering more than 1400 sets of complete glider components.
Yuan Tong perford a random inspection and found the quality and precision to be even better than in chanical City.
"This craftsmanship must be from large factories in chanical City handling the subcontract work."
He was very certain, saying, "It's still chanical lifeforms that have strict and precise production standards. Now the assembly process will be smoother."
One day later.
Zhou Yi saw a blockbuster news headline on the hopage of the Spring Autumn Trade Association.
"chanical City 'Transmission City' Officially Declares Bankruptcy, Acquired and Reorganized by Yin Shang Asset Managent Company"
Well done.
Yin Shang Company had directly taken over an entire chanical City!
