The Seventh Base-Chapter 603 - 42: Shocking Numbers_2
Chapter 603 -42: Shocking Numbers_2
“Miss Elizabeth.” Behind her, Ross whispered at Elizabeth’s side, needing evidence that Douglas had shown up?
Even the not-so-sharp Elizabeth knew it was Douglas’s doing.
She marched forward in her armor, with Ize and Carter following behind, equally annoyed. Douglas really was like a bad penny.
Douglas turned his gaze to the advancing group, his brows furrowing slightly, then he saw Elizabeth charging toward him at increased speed.
“Boom…”
Energy light burst from the armor, and Elizabeth threw a punch directly.
Douglas’s energy also released, stepping backward, he threw a punch as well, but Elizabeth’s armor was of S-class.
A cracking sound was heard, Douglas’s fist fractured, and then Elizabeth’s punch directly smashed onto his body.
“Bang.”
Douglas was sent flying by the punch, leaving the people from Mechanical King Guild dumbfounded.
Douglas had just declared his identity as the son of a Ministry of Defense official; how dare she hit him like that?
Ize and Carter stepped forward, kicking out one each.
“Fuck you…” Full of anger, Douglas hurled out a profanity as he was beaten in public, abandoning his aristocratic demeanor.
Hearing his curse, Elizabeth became even more furious, her eyes burning with rage beneath her helmet. She charged again, delivering a fierce punch that skewed Douglas’s head.
Ize and Carter also kept pounding on Douglas.
As Douglas’s two guards rushed forward again, Elizabeth looked up and shouted, “Get lost…”
“Woman.” Douglas got a bad feeling.
Elizabeth stopped hitting him. Douglas, now lying swollen on the ground, looked up at Elizabeth, realizing the beating was in vain.
Elizabeth drew her sword and pointed it at Douglas, saying, “I hope there’s not a next time, because no one will be able to save you then.”
“Cough…” Douglas spat out a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with sadness and anger.
Elizabeth turned and walked away. The two guards surged forward, appearing like they wanted to attack Elizabeth.
“Come back.” Douglas’s voice was weak. The two paused and then ran back to him, looking at Douglas who was miserably trying to stand up.
The people from the Mechanical King Guild and the spectators were all stunned, watching the scene in shock.
That woman had pointed a sword at Douglas and beaten him up, uttering threats, but Douglas dared not retaliate.
They realized that the two knew each other.
Douglas had declared his lineage; his father was a top official at the Ministry of Defense, not just an official.
Who dares to beat him like that?
Moreover, it was someone Douglas dared not retaliate against.
A member of the Royal Family!
The people from the Mechanical King Guild shuddered inwardly. Did the Blue Star Energy Technology Company have such a deep backing?
It seemed that Douglas hiring them to deal with this company was no simple matter either.
The chairman of the guild, Mayo, realized it too. Glancing at the collapsed guild building, his face still uneasy. But, he felt that this account could not be settled any longer.
“If the Mechanical King Guild dares to target our group again, Blue Star Energy Technology Company will accompany to the end.” Xu Mo spoke up, then he piloted his mecha, turned around, and left. The Divine Sword Bureau’s people also retreated, and thus the turmoil subsided.
But the onlookers were still talking a lot. Many people around started taking photos, filming the collapsed building of the Mechanical King Guild. The top guild in the Mechanical God Arena had been humiliated today; someone had come beating on their doors, destroying the building.
The son of a Ministry of Defense official was beaten in public.
Through this incident, the Blue Star Energy Technology Group became even more famous.
The previous Arena fight had already made the Blue Star Energy Technology Group well-known, and now they had taken apart the Mechanical King Guild, their reputation instantly swept through the ‘Mechanical Kingdom’.
Soon, everyone in the area was discussing the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, and the identity of the woman who beat up Douglas.
Of course, there was also curiosity about the identities of Ye Huan and Xu Mo.
This group had never been heard of before, today was their first appearance in the Mechanical Kingdom, launching their company’s developed weapons and causing a major stir on the first day.
Top Transcendents, geniuses with strong combat power, a powerful background, as well as cutting-edge weapon systems.
All these were hot topics in public opinion, and it was hard for the Blue Star Energy Technology Group not to explode in popularity.
Several days later.
Xu Mo was resting when Ye Qingdie came over.
“The group’s orders have exploded,” Ye Qingdie said with a smile.
“How many?” Xu Mo asked.
“A number of companies are seeking to cooperate with us, the total orders have reached the hundred thousand level,” Ye Qingdie explained.
“That little?” Xu Mo said, not thinking it was a lot.
“These are weapons…” Ye Qingdie explained, “The total value of these orders amounts to the hundred-billion level.”
“……” Xu Mo was shocked by the number.
In his energy business, it was just a few billion a year.
Hearing the hundred thousand level of orders, he didn’t feel much, but he seemed to forget, the prices for A-level and above weapons were very expensive, and ordinary people generally bought individually, a larger company couldn’t absorb too large a volume.
Therefore, achieving order volumes at the hundred thousand level was already impressive.
And the amount of money generated was a frightening figure.
One could imagine what a terrifying market this was, and now that their reputation had been established in the ‘Mechanical Kingdom’, therefore they achieved a hundred thousand level of order volume. What if later the fame grew bigger, and the order volume reached the million level? What figure would that be?
Trillions!!!
Xu Mo felt a bit dizzy in his head, he had always thought about doing interstellar business, sure it would make a lot of money, but he had never really crunched the numbers.
Now, with the real figures in front of him, Xu Mo, who was used to being poor, got stunned by the fortune.
Wealth had come!!
This time, it was really making a fortune.
If they could take on the planetary business later, what would that scene be like?
Xu Mo dared not think about it anymore.
This would also fulfill his initial idea, if they could do the planetary business, then it would drive the whole industrial development of Byron Star.
Technology indeed was the primary productive force.
“Don’t celebrate too early, we have only developed the product. Next, manufacturing is also a process, and I don’t know if Byron Star’s bases have enough manpower. If the order volume becomes too large later, we ourselves won’t be able to cope,” Ye Qingdie said.
“Hmm.” Xu Mo nodded. “Let’s take it step by step, and we need to continue to develop our research. Our weapon systems are already very advanced, but the Mechas and Armor are still quite basic; they need improvement. After receiving the deposits, we need to substantially develop our research and recruit more talent from Lucas Star.”
“Mr. Stark also thinks the same,” Ye Qingdie nodded.
“We must take care of the confidentiality, don’t reveal the Byron Star base, we are considered a technology group from Lucas Star,” Xu Mo said. This would cause less trouble, revealing their base was in Byron Star and could easily lead to incidents.
“Right.” Ye Qingdie continued to nod. “We will also ensure the publicity is in place. Previously, we suggested that the Divine Sword Bureau people participate in the Mechanical God Arena to promote our weapons, but now with sufficient funds, I think it’s better to hire professionals. The Divine Sword Bureau people can try occasionally.”
Xu Mo nodded, when you have money, its best to hire professionals.
And, the group also needed to expand production scale.
Miss Elizabeth had been in a foul mood these past few days, the recent incident with Douglas had affected her; clearly, Prince Charles was behind Douglas.
Her brother was determined to go against her.
At that moment, Elizabeth received a communication from Carter.
“Carter,” Elizabeth said.
“Miss Elizabeth, I’ve received word that the total order value received by Blue Star Energy Technology Group in the past few days will reach a hundred billion,” Carter said.
Elizabeth: “……”
