136: Chapter 136 Recapture of Dayuan Island

Various affairs were proceeding in an orderly fashion.

In the afternoon, the raw materials promised by Qin Tiejun began to arrive in Muza one after another.

Oil tankers also began to arrive, filling up a large area of the Muza Technology Park.

Gao Yuan had the Security Robot calculate the coordinates of the Eight Great Capitals in the Real World and mark them on the map.

He then selected the optimal location near Dahu's home and sent it to the representative of the Aramco company.

There was a quick response from the other side.

The other party told Gao Yuan that the gasoline was ready and they were just waiting for his location.

Dahu was so reliable that Gao Yuan felt a bit embarrassed.

He decided to simply give Dahu a batch of Life-Sustaining Base Fluid.

Anyway, this stuff would be sold globally sooner or later; giving it away now would count as returning a favor.

When the robots were dragging the robot production lines from the Future World's 2024 Club warehouse, they also brought back the space bus production line.

With the raw materials in place, the robots could begin production.

However, the personnel in charge of these workshops were all robots, including those performing the debugging and installation of the space bus production line.

Gao Yuan realized a problem: his demand for raw materials might increase in the future, and relying solely on others for supply could lead to trouble.

Should he own his own mines?

The land on Earth all had owners. Gao Yuan could certainly just seize it, but it wasn't necessary.

Now that space buses were in production, landing on the moon would be simple. Why not build a base on the moon? First, he could open a dedicated Earth-Moon tourism line; second, by having his own mining base, he wouldn't need to look to others for raw materials in the future.

Furthermore, Gao Yuan's black technology had displaced many people.

Gao Yuan planned to increase job opportunities and spread the money he earned. If money didn't circulate, it was just a number.

The Muza base was Gao Yuan's headquarters, and absolute security had to be guaranteed here, so he preferred using robots.

But other industries could actually be expanded, and he would try to increase job positions as much as possible.

The more people relied on him for their livelihood, the greater his influence would be.

Using force to make others afraid wasn't true rule; making others rely on you for their livelihood would make them follow you willingly.

...

Gao Yuan arrived at the office.

He convened a high-level meeting of Black Fish Technology.

There were over a dozen people in the conference room, many of whom Gao Yuan didn't recognize.

This was Bai Moyu's first time attending such a high-level meeting. She had expected it to be as serious as the Investment Promotion Bureau.

But once the meeting started, she discovered that Black Fish Technology's meetings were practically devoid of rules; the teacups on the table weren't aligned at all, and the pens and paper for notes were placed haphazardly.

There weren't even nameplates on the table; everyone sat wherever they pleased.

The group's vice president, Zhang Baiyi, was dressed in casual clothes with his legs crossed.

"Gao Yuan, you're late!"

"Do we have this many executives now? Old Zhang, introduce them!"

"You, the hands-off boss, don't even recognize your own employees. Little sister Lin Mei, you know her. Bai Moyu... you know her too! This is Old Hou, a veteran from our Yuanfang days; he's currently in charge of stores across the entire Xia country market! Little Zhou, you know him too, another Yuanfang veteran and the Technical Director of Black Fish Home!"

"Tell me about the ones I don't know!"

Gao Yuan said as he sat down next to Bai Moyu.

"These people... you won't recognize them anyway, so why bother? If you have something to say, hurry up... everyone is quite busy!"

Bai Moyu thought Gao Yuan would get angry...

Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan smiled: "Then let's just get started!"

"Jellyfish Biotechnology is our top priority next. We will also use both online and offline models. Online, we'll add a health module to Black Fish Home! Offline, we must ensure at least one store in every county, with each store employing at least ten salesclerks. Try to recruit personnel with nursing or medical backgrounds! Salaries will be set at twice the national average!"

Hearing this, Bai Moyu knew Gao Yuan was starting to compensate those medical professionals who were about to lose their jobs!

"Understood!"

"The Constant Temperature Clothing and wrist machine stores should also continue recruiting service personnel to ensure service quality!"

"Anything else?"

Zhang Baiyi asked.

"Yes, open stores on Taiwan Island!"

"Is this... appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? If it really doesn't work, we'll just take it back for the country?"

Gao Yuan said casually.

After saying it, his heart stirred; this was indeed something that could be done.

The state might have some concerns and hadn't acted yet, but he had no such taboos.

When the time came to transport gasoline, flying cars definitely wouldn't do—they were too small. Gao Yuan needed to bring back the warship. Since the warship was coming anyway, a decapitation strike on the Green Camp would be a trivial matter. All eighty thousand robots had been produced; before moving the oil, it would be good to get some exercise!

The financial markets had been turbulent lately, and the economic environment wasn't great. If he took Taiwan, it would boost confidence.

The more he thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.

With power, one should act as they please. Which Xia country youth hadn't dreamed of commanding the recovery of Taiwan Island?

Now that there was an opportunity, how could Gao Yuan pass it up?

Zhang Baiyi originally wanted to voice some objections, but thinking about what Gao Yuan had done before, he felt the man really might do it.

So he gave a thumbs up.

"Impressive! President Gao, do you have any other instructions?"

"This meeting has one theme: improving service quality and expanding recruitment! Also, set up a Tourism Affairs Department as soon as possible!"

"Tourism?"

Zhang Baiyi was a bit dazed.

Isn't this a bit of a large leap?

Gao Yuan's strides were too big. He started with the Photolithography Machine, then the wrist machine, Constant Temperature Clothing, and then Life-Sustaining Base Fluid! Now it was tourism...

"Salmon Entertainment doesn't have much going on right now. Our movie's theatrical run is nearing its end, and we aren't doing any roadshows. Why not put the tourism business under Salmon Entertainment? Let them handle it..."

Gao Yuan thought it could actually work.

When the time came, he would film a movie about wandering on the moon. Who wouldn't want to go for a spin on the moon after seeing that?

...

After the meeting, Gao Yuan went to work in the Future World.

Sitting in an ergonomic, fully intelligent chair, Gao Yuan looked displeased. He was so miserable, working non-stop, running between two worlds, holding down two jobs.

It was too hard; he had to go to the club to relax.

The poor club would probably be gone in a few days. This was his last chance to experience the tenderness within.

Thinking that the club would soon be gone, Gao Yuan had to hurry.

Time reached the third day...

Gao Yuan estimated that the robot production was almost finished, and Dahu's gasoline was about ready. It was time to start making moves.

He arrived at the Shangjing Spaceport again.

Qin Yu Jiajia came out to meet him early, her face beaming like a flower.

"Director Gao, are you here to pilot the warship again?"

"Yes, I have some business!"

"I'll make the preparations for you right now. You have my Brain-Link; next time you can tell me in advance, and I'll prepare everything for your departure ahead of time!"

"Alright, thanks for the trouble!"

"It's no trouble at all!"

Qin Yu Jiajia said with a look of excitement.
