Having received the technology list provided by Fatty, Si Meng has already begun to conceive her grand plans for future development.
If it weren't for the immense allure of Ye Chen's Time Cave, she would have wanted to return to her territory right now to begin the sales plan for the new technology and the construction of the production line.
However, the thought of being able to stay in the Time Cave for hundreds of years was too tempting, and it could even allow her own strength to improve by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, this is Ye Chen's Time Cave, making it convenient for her to come in or go out. Placing the location for handling affairs in the Blue Star plane can also maximize efficiency.
"Looks like I'm going to be exhausted after this trip!" Si Meng said with a wry smile, but her eyes were shining with excitement. This time, she was absolutely confident that she could completely crush the Wanwu Tower.
"It's not that bad. Fatty and I are back now. We can let him do any dirty or hard work. You can just focus on developing your career in the Cavern of Time!" Ye Chen teased Fatty.
"Damn, we came back together, so why did I have to do all the dirty and hard work?" The fat man's eyes widened, only to be met with Ye Chen's question.
"Don't you want to?"
"..."
"Yes! I'm absolutely willing!"
The fat man said with tears in his eyes, his aggrieved look making Si Meng laugh out loud. The slight estrangement that had been there for decades quickly disappeared in the laughter, as if they had returned to their way of getting along in the trial space.
Of course, Si Meng and Ye Chen wouldn't actually leave all the dirty and tiring work to Fatty; they were just joking around. Besides, Si Meng also needed to be more familiar with the business development of the main plane.
After chatting for a while, Ye Chen decided to leave so as not to delay their sweet time. They could talk about the Duobao Group anytime, and a day or two wouldn't make a difference.
Ye Chen walked alone on the street, unusually without any cars picking him up or dropping him off. He even went into a shopping mall when he passed by and browsed around. The city, full of life, made him feel as if he were in another world.
Although there are cities like New Aini and the Elf Capital in their own territory, and these cities have become very prosperous metropolises after so many years of development, they are ultimately not as bustling as the cities on Earth, nor do they have the feeling of home.
Unfortunately, he found that although he cherished the memory, he found it difficult to truly integrate into the city. Perhaps decades of being a lord and drifting in the dark and empty starry sky had made his heart increasingly lonely. No wonder a high-ranking lord like Elder Qin would choose to reside permanently on Blue Star and indulge in the things that young people do...
"Perhaps they also hope not to be overwhelmed by endless loneliness, and hope to live the life of an ordinary person?" Ye Chen thought to himself.
The higher the rank of the lord, the easier it is to obtain the right to stay on Blue Star. In particular, lords of the seventh rank and above can even leave their territory and hand it over to their own clans to manage. They can stay on Blue Star alone for a long time. Unless there is a major strategic need, the clans in the territory can decide the actions of the territory independently.
Of course, they still need to return to their territory occasionally to make an appearance. After all, a lord needs to have enough prestige among his followers. Otherwise, if a major disaster occurs and the lord is unable to command his followers, it would be a laughing stock.
After resting for two days, Fatty finally brought Si Meng back to Duobao Technology Park. Looking at her radiant appearance, Ye Chen felt a strange itch in his palms, wanting to grab a brick and try his hand at it.
Fortunately, such impulses were eventually suppressed, and the group sat in the large conference room in the office area to begin the first real shareholders' meeting of Duobao Group.
"Greetings, everyone. I am Yufei, the director of the Blue Star Office. I will now give a summary report on the situation of Blue Star Duobao Group over the past three years!"
"According to the latest statistics, Lanxing Duobao has generated a total net profit of over 50 billion credit points and over 10 billion merit points in the past three years..."
As the leader of Blue Star, it was natural for her to report on Blue Star's work. Ye Chen had already learned about these data in recent days, but hearing them again still shocked him.
Putting aside the 50 billion credits, which is just the currency used by ordinary people on Earth, he might not even be able to accumulate more than 10 billion merit points by independently clearing a single spatial node in the Maya Plane.
And this is only the revenue of Duobao Group for three years, and it's only the revenue from Blue Star.
Although Blue Star is the cradle of many lords, only a few lords and awakened beings can stay on Blue Star. This makes it difficult to earn merit points on Blue Star. They can only earn them from lords who occasionally return to Blue Star, and the transactions are extremely complicated.
Even so, it's hard to imagine how much net profit the entire Duobao Group could earn in a year, given that it could earn such huge profits in just three years.
"In addition, Lanxing Duobao, as the development base for the group's reserve forces, now has three major talent bases: employees, welfare homes, and colleges. Among them, there are more than 30,000 employees, 324 underage children in welfare homes, and 8,531 students in colleges. The overall number is on the rise."
"Among them, the number of staff increased by 3,200, a growth of 9%, and the welfare home admitted 54 new children, a growth of 16%..."
Yufei reported on each point one by one. Compared to the profits on Blue Star, talent reserves were obviously much more important. Both Ye Chen and Yufei listened very carefully. Although the number of people seemed small, it represented the foundation of Duobao Group and was the key to its development and expansion.
Si Meng did not interrupt the other party, letting him continue to report on the operation of Lanxing Duobao, nodding or frowning from time to time.
Nearly an hour later, Yufei finally finished reporting on Lanxing Duobao's situation. People like Ye Chen were already dizzy from listening, while only Si Meng and Xia Qingyi were able to truly listen and even extract the key information.
“I remember that five years ago the orphanage already had about three hundred people. Now, five years later, the number is only three hundred and twenty-four. You’re telling me there has been an increase?” Si Meng frowned slightly, looking at the data in her hand and questioning him with a hint of displeasure.
"this……"
"Furthermore, the academy has a total of over 8,000 students, while our welfare home only has a small number of people. How many of our staff members have children? How many of these 8,000 students were recruited from outside? Why recruit so many students? Will this affect the learning and development of our existing students?"
"this……"
