I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 749 Blue Star Protection Plan

Su Mo said, "Our previous collaborations have been quite pleasant. Your joining will save me a lot of trouble, so I have no reason to hesitate."

Yan Shu and the other person exchanged a glance and both smiled.

Yan Shu stated, "Don't worry about that. We will definitely do our best to handle the subsequent development."

Su Mo nodded.

“I plan to register a new independent company to do this, and I will have my assistant Zhou Wei take full charge of the company’s affairs.”

Since we're going to collaborate with them, it's naturally inconvenient to do it under the college's name.

Zhou Wei has performed very well at work over the years, and Su Mo promoted her to manage a separate business because he believes she can do a good job.

Yan Shu paused, lowered his head slightly, and continued to listen without speaking.

He wasn't surprised that Su Mo would set up a new company, but he had previously planned for Su Mo to take charge of the management, because he knew Su Mo definitely wouldn't have the time or focus on managing the development company.

Although he and Wu Shun may not have a high percentage of shares in the newly established company, they are both legitimate shareholders. It is perfectly fine for him to take charge since the major shareholder doesn't care.

As the major shareholder, Su Mo can simply enjoy the results directly.

It's not that he wanted to gain power in order to embezzle Su Mo's property, although he certainly had his own selfish motives.

The more power he wields within the development company, the more room he has to maneuver. It's important to understand that Yan Family Company's main business is manufacturing, producing high-end products and requiring a huge amount of mineral raw materials.

If he can take charge of this new development company, it will be more convenient for the Yan family to purchase raw materials later; otherwise, it may not be so.

Although he had some contact with Zhou Wei, they weren't exactly close.

As a result, Su Mo sent Zhou Wei to take charge of the company.

"Brother Yan has a stable supply of mechanical equipment, and Brother Wu is a leader among private enterprises in Xia Kingdom in terms of material supply. I believe that with the two of them joining us, we will be able to develop Huowei more smoothly in the future."

Yan Shu had not yet calmed down when Wu Shun glanced at him and spoke first.

"Xiao Su, you're right. I'll set up the farm there and make sure our company's employees have a supply of high-quality ingredients."

"That's not all. Angkor's hotels will also be opening a chain in Huowei, and Angkor will need to take care of the reception for guests."

"No problem, no problem, I'm familiar with this business." Wu Shun patted his chest confidently.

Yan Shu quickly adjusted her mindset.

At least we're on Su Mo's ship, that's the most important thing. We can think about what happens later.

"I have no problem handling the procurement of machinery and other equipment and tools."

"The mining exoskeleton produced in the factory recently has been calibrated and is ready for use. It is much more efficient than the automatic mining machinery currently on the market, and it is also simple to operate and easy to learn."

This can help solve some of the government's labor shortage problems.

The threat of the Zerg on Earth has now been largely eliminated, and the government's focus has shifted to stabilizing the population. It is no longer possible to continue sending relief and livelihood support as before.

If Su Mo's company can hire more employees, it will definitely gain favor with the authorities.

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

"Therefore, we need to get our new company up and running as soon as possible."

"All six Mars celestial bodies are officially known. Once I've made my selections, I'll have a professional company conduct an evaluation. At that point, Zhou Wei will discuss the subsequent investment and percentage of ownership with you."

"As for whether you two need to send someone to participate in the company's business, that will be discussed later. You can think it over carefully in the meantime."

“Yes, we will make preparations in the meantime,” Yan Shu said.

Investing in Su Mo's company requires a significant amount of points, which is different from Yan Shu's original plan to save points for buying small celestial bodies. Now, they are going to participate in satellite development.

That's a satellite, and Yan Shu is already planning how to collect points. He wants a larger share, so he definitely can't skimp on the points he needs to invest.

What is the estimated value of a Phobos? How many points does it need to prepare?

Yan Shu wasn't sure; he needed to go home and discuss it with his wife.

Wu Shun didn't have so many thoughts. He was now in charge of the Wu family, so he would definitely invest as much as he could. He had already encountered this opportunity, and he was determined to participate to the best of his ability.

Both of them kept their thoughts to themselves.

"The others are minor issues."

"Xiao Su, have you got a feel for sales yet?" Wu Shun asked.

He was just asking casually, since for Xia Guo, which needed to fully recover and expand its territory, mineral resources would sell themselves as long as they could be developed.

It doesn't refer to any specific mine; it means that almost all mines are the same.

Blue Star has been basically controlled by the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom is implementing the Blue Star Protection Plan.

The Xia Kingdom took over almost all of the natural resources on Blue Star, and all mineral resources, whether undeveloped or partially developed, were shut down.

Those who had begun preparing to resume production after seeing that the Earth had returned to a safe environment were all stopped.

The Xia Kingdom government forbids humans from continuing to explore Blue Star.

That's right, it's that tough.

All the minerals on Earth whose owners have died need no further explanation; they have already been taken over by the government. As for the survivors who still own minerals, the government has approached them, not to seize them, but to buy them back at a discounted price and nationalize them.

Private mining is prohibited on Earth, but there's a different policy outside of Earth.

Everyone can compete for the right to develop extraterrestrial resources—yes, just the right to develop them.

The solar system is not a very big place. Since the Xia Kingdom needs to send troops to protect it, the power to manage it naturally belongs to the Xia Kingdom.

The Xia Kingdom government doesn't concern itself with matters outside the solar system.

If someone has the ability to go out and occupy a star on their own, the Xia Kingdom government will recognize their ownership, but they will be responsible for the safety of the star they occupy.

That's why the bidding was so fierce at the auction held by the Extraterrestrial Development Office.

Considering the emergence of numerous high-tech companies like mushrooms after rain, even though the Yan family can be considered an established technology company, if they cannot maintain their upward trend in this momentum, they may be suppressed.

Technology is important, no doubt about that.

However, whether the technology can be implemented is equally important. Without raw materials, there is no production; without production, there are no more orders; and without orders, the company cannot survive.

So Su Mo's mines are not hard to sell, but who will he sell them to?

Logically speaking, the Yan family's company should have a share, or even receive a share in advance, depending on the relationship between them. But how much of a share could it be?

Wu Shun wanted to know, and Yan Shu wanted to know even more.

Two pairs of eyes, waiting for an answer, stared at Su Mo.
