Chapter 720 The Minds of the Wealthy
boom--!!!
The moment this news broke, the entire galaxy was in an uproar!
"Holy crap! Really?! Just being selected means becoming a farm owner? And with permanent ownership?!"
"I'd work like a slave at this lousy company my whole life and still not be able to afford a toilet in Terra City! Now, all you have to do is work your ass off and you can own tens of thousands of acres of land?!"
"And it's free training! Food and lodging included! I heard you can even learn S-level military combat techniques personally issued by the Commander-in-Chief!"
"We have to fight! We absolutely have to! This isn't going to join the army, it's going to rob a bank!"
The resentment that had arisen from thinking that Lin Qiye was just making empty promises vanished instantly!
at the same time.
The families, large and small, were in an uproar.
Countless family patriarchs and elders frantically dialed various contact numbers.
"Old Li! Is what the news said true? That person... again..."
"What kind of grand expansion is this! I think this is just a roundabout way of cutting off our flesh and bleeding us dry!"
A family patriarch gritted his teeth and said, "In the past two months, we've already lost billions on this Spark Project and this massive expansion! And now you want to take it a step further? Are you trying to make us pour money and manpower into that bottomless pit?"
"Yeah! Who knows if they're really going to explore new star systems? What if it's just a smokescreen..."
The person on the other end of the phone didn't dare to continue, but the meaning was self-evident.
Although these families were terrified of Lin Qiye's terrifying power, which could tear apart warships with his bare hands, and dared not openly resist, the pain of being slowly cut by a dull knife was becoming unbearable for them!
"A scam! Absolutely a scam! He just wants to completely drain us so that his faction can monopolize the entire galaxy!"
Just as this resentment and panic were about to reach a critical point.
Soon, the wealthy and powerful families in various cities simultaneously welcomed a group of special visitors.
Those were high-ranking officials from their own province!
They brought Lin Qiye's electronically signed documents and directly summoned the heads of various families in the city.
The atmosphere in the reception room was somber.
"There's no need for you all to be so nervous."
The provincial leader leisurely sipped his tea, glanced at the group of family heads before him who were like frightened birds, and smiled slightly:
"As the Commander-in-Chief knows, you all suffered some injustices recently for the sake of the stability of the galaxy."
"Commander-in-Chief... remembers everything."
Upon hearing this, the clan leaders exchanged glances, their hearts filled with even greater panic.
Remember?
Is it because they hold a grudge or something?
The senior official put down his teacup, lowered his voice, and offered a reassuring reassurance:
"I'm here today to give you all a heads-up."
"The 10,000 places mentioned in the news are for outsiders."
"but!"
The official raised his voice and tapped the documents on the table:
"In recognition of the outstanding contributions of all families to the 0755 star system, the Grand Master has granted special permission to reserve a considerable number of internal slots for these contributing families, in addition to the initial ten thousand!"
The breathing of the clan leaders quickened instantly.
Internal quota?
If this is true... then it's not about cutting off flesh, it's about dividing the cake!
"But..." one of the clan leaders hesitated, but still dared not say it.
He wondered to himself, "Is this expansion plan really reliable?"
Or is this just another empty promise from the Chief of Staff?
The clan leaders exchanged glances and all understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
The senior officials seemed to have anticipated their concerns, and smiled, saying:
"Everyone, put your minds at ease."
"The Grand Master's connections in the Main Star Sector are far beyond your imagination."
"I can tell you definitively that the space fleet from the host planet is already on its way! It will arrive at the port of system 0755 within six months!"
"Therefore, the first phase of the plan is scheduled to begin within 12 months. These six months are for your preparation and training."
"The Chief Commander said that when the time comes, families that make contributions will at least receive an asteroid, and some might even become planetary chiefs!"
boom--!
This news came like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering everyone's doubts.
Space battleship!
They dared not even dream of a planetary superstructure, but if they could actually obtain an asteroid and transform it into a Dyson sphere, they could acquire a vast amount of energy!
This is an incredibly profitable business!
Six months, give it another six months and see how it goes!
What if it's true?!
In an instant, the expressions on the faces of the clan leaders, who had just been full of resentment and felt like they had been ripped off, became incredibly interesting.
That was a transformation from fear to ecstasy, and then to extreme greed.
A clan chief suddenly stood up, his beard trembling with excitement:
"Our Li family... firmly supports the Commander-in-Chief's wise decision!"
"And our Wang family! Please have faith in the Chief of Staff!"
Seeing the family patriarchs' expressions change instantly, the provincial leaders nodded.
He had long anticipated the changes in these clan leaders.
Not to mention them, even the higher-ups themselves were astonished when they first saw the news.
This is the Chief of Staff's method.
Let's see if the promises made by the Chief of Staff can be fulfilled in six months.
……
Meanwhile, at the No. 1 Manor.
A gentle breeze carried the intoxicating fragrance of flowers. In the exquisite pavilion surrounded by a sea of blossoms, Lin Qiye was comfortably reclining on a deck chair.
Surrounding him sat Bai Muxi, Chu Fengling, and Lin Yuechan and Si Qingwan, who had come from the neighboring No. 2 Manor for a special visit.
On the lawn in the distance, several toddlers, including Lin Nianbai, Lin Pojun, and Lin Zhiwei, were chasing and playing on the grass, surrounded by a group of servants who were carefully taking care of them.
Four expectant mothers with large bellies glanced at the children playing happily in the distance, their eyes filled with maternal tenderness.
Then, they all turned their gazes away and looked at their husbands sitting opposite them with tenderness and affection.
"Husband..." Bai Muxi gently stroked her slightly protruding belly and asked softly, "Do you think that since we brought back the most advanced cultivation techniques from the main planet, all our children will really be able to cultivate them?"
Lin Qiye smiled slightly, nodded, and gently swept his gaze over the four women: "Not only the children, but you can also cultivate secretly now. Go ahead and cultivate, your husband will take care of everything."
Upon hearing this, the women's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Lin Qiye with eyes full of emotion and admiration.
You should know that in the 0755 star system, even slightly advanced cultivation techniques are kept tightly under wraps by the major powerful families, let alone the top-level inheritances of the main star.
