Chapter 604 Atlas's Negotiation Method
For these ‘local forces’, selling the factories and large industrial clusters in their hands is actually a zero-cost ‘transaction’.
Because most of the factories and other physical industries in their hands have just been ‘taken over’ from the federal government and various enterprises and chaebols.
The surfaces of many buildings and equipment have more or less traces left in the ‘takeover’ process.
And now, they can exchange these industries that are somewhat troublesome to manage for the hard currency they urgently need - the ‘psychic points’ of the Thousand Star Empire, which is also the only currency among the three major mainstream currencies that maintains a strong exchange rate.
What’s more, after taking over these enterprises and factories, the Atlas Group often allows them to resume work and production in a short period of time, restore normal production order, and sometimes even expand and recruit more industrial workers.
This is naturally welcomed by various ‘rebel forces’, because it means that the order in their controlled areas will become more and more stable under this trend.
The resumption of production in these factories and enterprises, especially the reproduction of daily necessities, can also quickly reduce the soaring prices in the controlled area and restore stability.
After obtaining funds from Atlas, these local forces will basically use most of them to purchase various weapons and equipment from the Atlas Group to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of their armed forces - some larger forces even consider placing orders with Atlas to purchase warships.
On the one hand, they do need these weapons to arm themselves and improve their strength so as to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the federal government and other forces; on the other hand, Atlas' weapons and equipment do have huge advantages in quality and performance.
During this period, whether it is the individual exoskeleton headed by the "Crazy Crocodile" series, power armor, ground heavy equipment headed by the "Xiandeng" foreign trade main battle tank, or HCP headed by the monkey version of "Sacred Shield", they have all become star equipment in the arms market.
The many public battles of Atlas' ground combat forces are the best advertisements for these equipment.
Not to mention that after the news of the Renaissance Alliance sweeping the Rubion Galaxy using the equipment of the Atlas Group spread, the advertising effect became even stronger, and the orders from the Atlas Military Industry had already been fully booked. The "deposits" from various forces alone were already astronomical figures.
So from the perspective of those organizations and forces that trade with the Atlas Group, it is equivalent to the Atlas Group "giving money" to them from afar, and then helping to manage these enterprises, and by the way, stabilizing social order, controlling prices, and finally providing them with a very reliable channel for importing arms.
Because most of the forces that trade with the Atlas Group do not think there is anything wrong with letting the Atlas Group intervene in their areas.
The factories, mines, and refineries on the surface of these planets cannot be towed away like the docks in deep space, so no matter what tricks the Atlas Group plays, these things are within its control. Could it be that you are packing up my entire planet and taking it away?
The leaders and senior officials of the forces who think so are those who have polite talks with the representatives of the Atlas Group.
They did not see the Atlas Group showing its fangs, and naturally looked down on the Atlas Group that came to discuss business, thinking that this company was no different from the giant companies and chaebols that they had already killed.
As time goes by, they will wake up and regret their original decision, but by that time everything will be irreversible.
As for whether there are forces or organizations that have seen the "fangs" of the Atlas Group?
Of course there are, and the diversity of human biology determines this.
When most forces are secretly happy and honestly handing over assets to Atlas, there are also some forces with different ideas that have bad ideas in the process of negotiations with the Atlas Group.——
On a colony planet that has just overthrown the galaxy autonomous government and hung street lights on many chaebols and capitalists who did not have time to escape, Hake, the leader of a certain force who has temporarily gained control of the local area, and Cassius, the representative of the Atlas Financial Business Center, are sitting in the temporary cabin car camp established by the Atlas Group in the local area for intense negotiations.
Hake's face was stern, and his eyes revealed an unnatural stubbornness and unyielding:
"Your Atlas conditions are too harsh. We can't transfer our factories and docks at such a price. These are industries that we have fought for with great sacrifices. You are plundering nakedly!"
"Plunder? Chief Hake, you still dare to tell me plunder? It's a bit of a joke. And the prices we offer have been calculated many times by business experts. You will definitely not suffer any loss."
Cassius had a blank expression, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk:
"Chief Hake, you have to face the reality. The current situation is not favorable to you. God knows when the regular army of the federal government will return to this galaxy. If you fail, you will have nothing. And we, Atlas, can provide you with the much-needed funds and channels to purchase first-class weapons. This is your best choice at present."
Hake slammed the table and stood up: "We will never succumb to your pressure! We have our own dignity and bottom line. At worst, we will fight the federal government to the death."
The negotiations suddenly broke down, and Hake stood up abruptly. He felt that he was very respectful to negotiate with the representatives of the Atlas Group as a leader.
But the other party's conditions and the unchanging attitude made him extremely unhappy, so he wanted to make some harsh words at this moment, or threaten the other party with force.
However, thinking of the camp outside the container car, which was well-defended and had a large number of heavy equipment and elite armed forces that he had never seen before, he felt that if he threatened now, he might not be able to leave.
So after a while, Hake just left the conference room of the container car with his subordinates angrily, while Cassius and others just sat there and watched them slam the door and leave.
"Poor negotiation skills, rough pressure methods. I don't remember how long it has been since I experienced this level of business negotiations. I'm afraid my little niece would be better than him."
Another business representative sitting next to Cassius spoke up.
Cassius shook his head: "A dozen days ago, many of them were just ordinary people. How much negotiation skills can you expect them to master? It's good enough that they can understand the acquisition application we submitted."
"What should we do next? Deal with them again?" asked another business representative.
"No, we don't have that much federal time to waste with them. The task list updated two hours ago has two new targets waiting for us to negotiate~"
As Cassius said, he took out his "Financial Business Center Customized Edition" personal terminal and quickly clicked on it.
"I called the fleet directly. Since the local forces can't understand our current negotiation method, let's change to a method that they can understand~"
