Chapter 392 Where Do We Get so Much Money?
After determining the basic policy of using the Rubion Galaxy and the Pyra Galaxy as "nails" to be nailed down under the eyes of the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire, Amber began to think about specific countermeasures and development directions.
This process is like playing a highly realistic SLG game, and the current situation of Amber and Atlas is indeed somewhat similar to what he encountered in a certain SLG game in his previous life.
It is also a giant company across the galaxy, and it is also surrounded by powerful enemies. But in the end, Amber succeeded in breaking through, using the huge fleet as a 'background', and then pried open the doors to all the surrounding forces - "Open the door, free trade" !”
To be honest, when he first established Atlas, Amber actually had this idea in mind, using trade and force to achieve final victory. However, compared with games, reality is often more complex and has more unique capabilities. Certainty.
Amber has always felt that she could build Atlas and lead the company all the way to where it is now. Luck has put a lot of effort into this.
Otherwise, how could I, a guy who "stinked playing games" in his previous life, get to where he is now?
But having said that, Amber found that the experience of previous SLG games is not completely useless. At least some macro-level experiences can be used for reference.
As a relatively special "power situation", the global giant is still very different from ordinary countries. It is still a company in essence, but its scale has grown to a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Therefore, for giant companies, before they truly grow up and achieve perfect ‘internal circulation’, the bulk of their income still comes from transactions with other forces, that is, making profits through commercial activities.
This is one of the reasons why Amber does not want to go to war with the Federation and Star Dragon Empire immediately.
At the same time, after the Federation cooled down the Pyla 4 incident, Atlas did not continue to 'fan the flames' to embarrass the Federation in this regard. Instead, it had a very tacit understanding and adopted a cold-hand approach.
After all, everyone is busy, and some business still needs to be done.
Especially after the federal government has paid a huge amount of "quantum entanglement communication service fees", it does not want to completely fall out with Atlas, otherwise this additional budget for the current fiscal year of the federal government will make everyone feel painful. , wouldn’t it be wasted?
As for the two lieutenant generals, the fleet, and the ground troops who were trapped on the planet and completely lost their command, according to the current contact between the federal government and the group's public relations department, the federation only plans to move the two Generals, senior officers and remaining battleships were taken away
Although the remaining ground troops were not stated clearly, Amber also guessed that the federal government wanted them to fend for themselves. Anyway, for them, these thirty or forty brigades were classified as 'missing' go.
Otherwise, they would have to find a way to pick up and transport these people back, and there would also be various follow-up problems to worry about. If they were calculated directly as missing, not only would they be able to save a lot on disability pensions, but it would also allow these troops to stay. Create trouble for Atlas or the Empire on this planet.
Anyway, except for a few standing brigades that are the main offensive forces, the others are all newly formed troops, and they are all recruits who have just been recruited under the general mobilization order. For the federation with a big family and big business, this loss is nothing.
This approach also perfectly fits Amber's stereotype of the Federation, or that both the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire are similar in this regard.
The fleet is important, and the battleship is even more valuable.
The ground troops are not important, and the infantry is a 'consumable' of the same level as the alloy piercing rod.
Politicians and nobles have no scruples in sending hundreds of young people to the front lines in order to maintain the so-called front.
Anyway, for these two major human forces, the most important thing they lack is population. Judging from the production capacity of both parties, weapons and vehicles are really similar to the rifles of the old era. Kejin is finished. .
As long as the flames of war have not yet reached the core galaxy circle where they are located, then in this war, what these people worry about every day is not the war situation, but their profits and dividend settlements.
Although they are very inhumane, for Amber and Atlas, it is better to have a pig-like opponent than a shrewd opponent.
And since the federation plans to treat it coldly, Amber doesn't mind using this period of time to continue to 'grow'. After all, the famous saying of a former professional e-sports player is also his favorite saying.
"Once you learn how to operate, the rest is A."
Thinking of this, Amber decided to take a look at the company's current available assets, and then evaluate whether to increase the number of shipyards and weapons and equipment production lines. This is the following two subsidiaries of Atlas Shipbuilding and Atlas Equipment Manufacturing. Recently, Project applied for.
Due to the recent "excellent performance" of Atlas's combat troops and fleet, it has created a very good advertising effect for Atlas's externally sold weapons and ships.
The sales planning departments of these two subsidiaries also took advantage of this opportunity to shoot commercials for the units.
One of the most viewed ads, and the most impressive image among viewers, is a Roma soldier wearing a "battle-tested" white combat exoskeleton. He said in an interview:
"I was able to survive the cruel battlefield and get a medal of courage, all because of this 'Crazy Crocodile A2'!"
Originally, the bulk of Atlas Equipment Manufacturing and Shipyard's orders came from the Luion Galaxy Government to help them rebuild their garrison and fleet - the first batch of orders included a full set of equipment for 25 combined brigades and various ships for a garrison fleet.
To be honest, this order has actually allowed Atlas to fully utilize its current production capacity, and the profits generated are also very considerable.
However, with the end of the conflict on Pyla IV, the Federation suffered a loss beyond everyone's expectations, and the sales hotline of Atlas Equipment Manufacturing and Shipyard exploded.
Of the customers who came to place orders, 60% were autonomous governments of various galaxies within the Federation, 25% were nobles from the Star Dragon Empire, and 15% were some private military companies and civilian armed forces.
Although the customer service of both companies informed them that the current order volume was too large and the waiting time for production might be longer, these customers did not care about this at all. Their thousands of words finally converged into one sentence:
"SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"
The surge in orders is one of the reasons for expanding the production line, and the other reason is that Atlas's combat forces also need to be expanded, so the production of various weapons and equipment and combat vehicles must also be accelerated.
Especially the equipment research and development center, which has quietly produced some new gadgets during this period, such as the new suspended main battle tank that uses the Forerunner gravity control technology, and the self-propelled electromagnetic gun carried by the 5-axis special vehicle.
As the saying goes, "with a gun in hand, there is no panic in the heart". If you want to ensure that the two major forces will not easily attack Atlas, "force value" is also a very important thing.
When Amber entered the group management interface and saw the available balance of funds in the group account, he once wondered if he had seen a few digits too many.
"Is it my eyes that are blurry, or is there something wrong with the system? Where do we get so much money?"
