Chapter 458 Why Should I Help You?
"Hahaha, do you need me? Do you need Atlas?"
Amber sneered, then said hello to Van Fleet and Guterres, and left the conference room first.
After finding a free lounge, Amber lay down on the massage chair and said:
“That’s not what the people from the Rubber System Autonomous Government said when they forced us to decouple Atlas and the Rubber System.
Let me think about it, 'Your company has caused widespread resentment among the people in the Lubion system' and 'Doesn't your company have no responsibility at all for such an incident?' "
Amber's retelling was so vivid that Franklin, who was on the other end of the communication line, couldn't help but blush and didn't know what to say.
But Amber also knew that this had nothing to do with the young man opposite, so she finally added in a gentle tone:
"Of course, what I'm talking about is only for the top brass of the Lubion System Autonomous Government, and does not include you, Mr. Franklin.
In my opinion, you may be one of the few people in this galaxy who truly cares about the people and the future of this galaxy~
It is precisely because I think you have great potential in the future that I put you on the communication whitelist, otherwise you would not be able to contact me so easily. "
Amber's words gave Franklin another glimmer of hope, so he cautiously asked:
"So are you willing to do me a favor and let Atlas re-intervene in the situation in the Rubian galaxy to calm this turmoil? I have actually been paying attention to Atlas-related news. I think that with your company's current situation, With strength and strength, this can be achieved.”
"But why should I do this?" Amber's cold words interrupted Franklin ruthlessly.
"My personal appreciation for you does not mean that I will respond to your request, especially a decision that is full of risks such as 'letting Atlas intervene in a galaxy that is in turmoil.'
I remember I made it very clear at the last cocktail party. You don’t have any unique value now. Why do you think Atlas would consider ‘investing’ in you?
To put it another way, if Atlas really wanted to find an 'agent' in the Lubion Galaxy, wouldn't there be a lot of people more suitable than you? "
The other end of the communication fell silent, and Amber did not continue to speak, just waiting quietly.
Franklin's words as if he were a 'political novice' just now made him wonder how this guy managed to reunite the Union during the Civil War and become the new president in his previous life.
However, he quickly thought that maybe this was just the plot planned by the main copywriter of "Starry Sky OL", and this main copywriter might not be that proficient in politics.
But under the influence of this 'force majeure', even Franklin can become the president as the plot develops, even if he is a piece of 'lettuce'.
But the problem is that in today’s world, there does not seem to be such a ‘force majeure’, or in other words, the impact of this ‘force majeure’ is not that great.
Because under the influence of a series of events, the historical direction of the entire world has deviated to a certain extent. At least the 'main plot' that happened at this time point is still somewhat different from what Amber remembered.
While Amber was distracted and thinking about this, Franklin's voice sounded again from the other end of the communication line.
"Mr. Rebel, hasn't Atlas carried out 'humanitarian assistance' operations before? Now the situation in the Lubion galaxy has become increasingly serious. If this continues, various crises will definitely break out.
At this time, if Atlas Group intervenes to minimize the losses that may be caused by these crises, or even directly nip the crisis in the bud, wouldn't this be very consistent with the mission you promote? "
After hearing his words, Amber realized that Atlas's 'thought implantation' in this regard seemed to be bearing fruit.
But if he was facing Franklin, Amber felt that there were some things that he still needed to fully explain to him, so he quickly said:
“First of all, there is something called ‘packaging’ in this world.
Secondly, we at Atlas are indeed willing to do these things, but we can’t really ‘work for free’. After all, we are a company that needs to make a profit, and we have such a big family to support.
If we really don’t ask for anything in return, where will the ammunition and materials we consume, as well as the wages, benefits, and pensions of so many people come from? "
Franklin was surprised when Amber said these things so straightforwardly, without any concealment of Atlas Group's pursuit of interests.
He knew that Amber told him deliberately to let him get rid of the unrealistic idea, but he still asked reluctantly:
"But during Para 4, weren't you, Atlas, caught between the Federation and the Empire, 'taking chestnuts from the fire'? Both parties regard you as enemies, let alone give you rewards."
"Who said we didn't get 'paid'?" Amber put a smile on her lips, and then continued:
"Even Mr. Franklin, who is far away in the Lubion system and is probably quite busy on weekdays, is aware of our situation on Para 4 and even understands our 'company mission'. To me, this is the best thing." It’s rewarded~”
Franklin understood what Amber meant. In the conflict of Pyla IV, the biggest reward Atlas received was "reputation". The publicity effect of this conflict was unmatched by any advertisement.
Of course, what Amber did not say was that after the conflict, Atlas Group basically completely controlled Pyla IV and key nodes in the galaxy.
"There is one more thing." He continued:
"Since Mr. Franklin is still paying attention to the news, he must be aware of our current situation at Atlas and the delicate relationship with the federal government.
If we intervene in the "civil war" of the Rubion galaxy at this time, I believe the federal government will be happy to label our Atlas Group as a "dangerous foreign force".
I don't want this, Mr. Franklin. We at Atlas don't want to give up such a large market in the federation."
After listening to Amber's words, although Franklin was entangled for a long time, he also knew that the problems Amber mentioned were all real.
The other party is such a large company, and it is indeed not going to rashly intervene in the increasingly unclear situation of the Rubion Galaxy simply because of a few words from him.
This "ambitious young man" could only sigh in the end, and then said somewhat weakly:
"I know, Mr. Rebir, I am sorry for disturbing you today. Just pretend that I have never contacted you."
"Look, you are anxious again."
Just as Franklin was about to end this communication, Amber's voice suddenly came from the other side.
"Although Atlas is not convenient to take action directly now, it does not mean that Mr. Franklin can't do anything by yourself~"
