Chapter 164 No problem.
Li Pan didn’t delay, and directly used the new company account to lend money, and put the 50 million, 35 million, 10 million, 5.2 million, 200,000, and 6,500 yuan Several minor issues have been resolved.
Of course, there will inevitably be a few taxes to pay in the middle, but in fact it is not bad. The money paid to the employee account can be counted as the company's normal operating expenses, and Chengzi can fill in a few invoices for reimbursement to cope with the approval.
The Veterans Fund also has policy support and rebates, and Panlong Construction is a local company. The legal person of the company has an annual donation amount of 10% of the company's valuation. It can purchase local funds to support various constructions in this area. Not only is it tax-free, but some projects are also It's tax deductible. Panlong’s source of funds also comes from this channel.
However, the 35 million transaction was too sensitive. It could not withstand the investigation, and it was impossible to ask the company's finance for help. It had to be smuggled and given as a gift. Since a single transaction exceeded 10 million, the gift tax rate was directly accumulated. to forty percent.
Fourteen million...
sigh...that's all, the front foot is still being checked, and there are still several people watching around, so Li Pan doesn't dare to worry about it.
Three thousand and five means that your business will be prosperous, and one thousand and four means that your home will be safe.
So he gritted his teeth, cut his flesh, and became a big taxpayer...
His heart was bleeding...
He took a sip of black ice to calm down. Li Pan then contacted Wangshan and directly transferred 400 million from his black money account, paying half of it first. To appease these wild dogs, as for the remaining half who want to take cash, they can default on it.
After all, these veterans have been on the verge of poverty and bankruptcy all year round, and their account balances cannot withstand inspection. Li Pan also had high-sounding reasons for defaulting on arrears, and promised promotions, salary increases, commissions, bonuses, reimbursements, tax deductions for company assets, and weapons and equipment purchases. etc., and allocate it to them in installments.
Such a quick response, generous and reasonable, and well-founded, made Wangshan feel a little confused. It was probably the first time for this guy to have such a successful salary fight.
After waiting for a long time, he came up with the question, is our company still recruiting people? The three-headed dog actually often owed wages...
Li Pan said yes! I am short of manpower, I will accept as many as you come! Did you see this receipt? Panlong is the company that cares most about veterans’ welfare and treatment in Night City! Now that everyone is here, they are my wings!
So it only took 100 million in cash, 400 million in black money, and 100 million in taxes, and all these problems were solved.
What? Yulia? Damn, four billion! To hell with her! Did he even spit it out to her after he had it all in his mouth? If you have the ability, Yulia, you can spit out everything that I have eaten!
Ahem, in short, Li Pan is mainly free now. When he is free, he will immediately find a lawyer and seize the assets of 4 billion and put them in his pocket.
The top priority now is to reach an agreement with Amakusa as soon as possible. If we don't get supplies here, the company's fleet will be destroyed.
So I sent the fund donation voucher to 'PONY', and a QVN private link client program was quickly sent there.
'PONY' means I went in and checked, it's fine, it won't burn my brain.
Based on his trust in Xiao Ma, Li Pan took the risk to connect to the opposite virtual server.
I thought this 'Veteran Officers Club' was a trick, but after using the QVN link to enter the Super Dream space, I found that they really used real-time calculations to simulate a virtual illusion.
Basically, it is a mainstream virtual online game scene. If the computing power is enough, it can be completely simulated. If the control system UI is hidden, the difference between it and reality can hardly be felt.
With the addition of intelligence and computing power in this era, you can not only achieve a 100% realistic experience in the game, but even with certain drugs, your nerves can withstand it, and your senses can be increased hundreds or thousands of times. Sensitivity, stimulation, excitement, basically an electronic anesthetic.
Of course, this kind of electronic anesthetic has to be paid for, and playing games definitely comes with early buyouts, monthly subscriptions, in-game payments, krypton gold card rebates, and other tricks. In short, it’s hard to live without money these days, you know. I understand.
This 'Veteran Officers Club' is a private online game. The network address is encrypted and hidden, and it does not have so many fancy game settings. It's just a bar for casual chats, as well as indoor training grounds, courts, hunting grounds, boating, fitness and other boring projects for the elderly.
Because the admission fee only cost 50 million, Li Pan gained VIP membership rights when entering the game and could freely set the appearance.
Li Pan casually made a handkerchief knight shape, smoothed his face, and stepped into the club wearing formal clothes.
The bartender was a robot. After confirming Li Pan's identity, he took him to the booth.
Six men dressed as soldiers were waiting for him.
They used the face of a famous Starfleet admiral from the Takamagahara era to hide their true identity. It was not possible to tell who Shiro Amakusa was at the moment, but from this calm and unpretentious aura, it was obvious that they were all long-time residents. The general is obviously a senior official in the current Starfleet.
And the layout of this compartment is a bit interesting. Six people sat side by side behind a long table, with a cup of black tea and a piece of sugar in front of each person. A chair was left for Li Panze, which reminded him of his interview.
Well, it was the time when I was dragged down the street and turned into a broomstick.
The first admiral from the left spoke first,
"Mr. Manager, we have received your proposal. Let us confirm again.
Do you want to hire our army to participate in the corporate war?"
These soldiers are really straightforward. But that's fine, no need to waste your time talking nonsense.
Li Pan also raised his chest and said in greeting,
"The duty of Star Fleet is to guard the earth and protect citizens. It has never participated in the company's competition. Naturally, I dare not violate the rules of the committee. I just want to make some friends and establish a PMC armed company. If you
still We can hire some experienced veterans, buy some retired equipment, and join our company. It will definitely be helpful to expand the market and develop our business." The admiral number one from the right smiled and said, "I see, that's
understandable
. It's understandable. The manager is willing to strongly support our fund, and it can be seen that he is a person who cares about the livelihood of veterans. We are very willing to help you apply for a PMC armed company license." Li Pan narrowed his eyes, although buying this license for 50 million is worth it
. But this was not what he expected.
"Thank you for your understanding and support. After all, I am a local, and my parents are also soldiers. I grew up with the support of veterans' subsidies. I also served in a military academy and received an education. It can be said that I am where I am today, all because of the support of Starfleet!
So now that I have the opportunity, I sincerely want to do my best for serving citizens and promote the prosperity and development of the earth. These are the obligations we, as residents of Earth 0791, should fulfill!" Admiral No. 1 from the right nodded repeatedly
. , said to his colleagues,
"That's right, it's really touching. The manager is passionate and willing to contribute to the fleet. I think everyone will support it!" The
second admiral from the left looked at Li Pan,
"What are you talking about?" Salary."
Li Pan raised a hand and said,
"Salary and pension will be increased five times based on veteran status, and there will be salary increases and commissions based on performance."
The first admiral from the right clapped his hands and said with a smile,
"That's incredible. The manager is really rich. I want to retire now, hahaha!"
The first from the left and the second from the left looked at each other, and then looked at the third from the left.
Zuo San remained silent.
The third person from the right smiled and said,
"I know the financial resources of your company, and we have also seen your achievements, but things like war will kill people. And
frankly speaking, with the current strength of our army, I am afraid that in a real company In the war, it won't play any substantive role."
Li Pan smiled,
"Since I'm being honest, I'll just say it. Although I know nothing about interstellar warfare, I never expected that a private security company alone could Reversing the power gap between companies. All I did was build bridges, pave roads, and add bricks and tiles for the final victory. To be honest, what I need
now is some helpers who can deal with pirates and security guards to protect the company's assets. This This kind of mission should be what Starfleet is best at, right?
The principle I believe in is to entrust the work of experts to experts. I can promise in the contract to listen to and fully respect the advice of experts before the mission. If If you have any objections, you can refuse to participate in the operation and settle the wages immediately so that we can get together and part ways without forcing it."
You Yi applauded repeatedly,
"What you said is so good, I don't know what else to say, so just give it to me. Please applaud."
The one on the left glared at him angrily, and then the third on the left spoke,
"How many fleets do you plan to invest in total."
Then the one on the right stopped applauding, and the six admirals looked at him together.
"Frankly speaking, I really don't know about this. I'm just a low-level manager, responsible for discussing some security projects.
But according to the usual estimates..."
Li Pan thought for a while,
"First, we will reach 140 trillion. Let’s talk about the battle losses and then talk about other things.”
There was silence in the room for a while, and no one spoke.
Seeing that the other party was shocked by so many zeros, Li Pan also crossed his legs and asked,
"So how many ships can you give me?"
Then Li Pan saw everyone looking at the second person from the right.
The second one from the right seemed to have silently calculated for a while and then said,
"We can allocate up to ten light cruisers, twenty cruisers, twenty destroyers, other frigates, supply ships, and electronic support ships, totaling more than two hundred ships. , various heavy fighters, SMS, and UAVs, about two thousand in total. A total of five full-strength cruise fleets." The second from the
left added,
"Now is peacetime, and there is only a single ship group on duty in the fleet. There are about 2,000 officers and men in this fleet. However, one team is reorganized, one team takes turns to rest, and three teams are escorts, which is enough for you. Of course, the premise is that you really just
want to fight pirates and protect the route..."
Li Pan frowned. ,
"That's it? No battle class?"
The second one on the right was expressionless,
"There are, maybe four or five hundred ships, but those are old ships before the war. They can't keep up with the speed of the main fleet these days. For a while, We can't gather that many people, so we can't put them to any use. It's better to dismantle them all and use ammunition and fuel for supplies." The right man added with a smile, "Your
Excellency,
don't count too much on us, because after the defeat, we are subject to various treaties. Restrictions, our ship's firepower, tonnage and fleet organization are all strictly restricted by the committee. Battle cruiser class and light aircraft carrier are already the upper limit of the capital ships that can be organized." Li Pan thought for a while, and the other party said so
. Logically speaking, there were tens of thousands of people in five small formations, and he couldn't afford to support them no matter how many, so he nodded in approval.
The third person on the right frowned at this moment and said,
"Isn't it too much to give five fleets at once?"
The third person on the left said indifferently,
"It's not much. According to the way they fought last time, this small force can't even sustain two fleets." "It's a round salvo."
The second man from the left spoke again,
"However, it is impossible to arrange so many people to be transferred to rest and reserve. It cannot be done at once. Only one fleet can be arranged to be rested in the first month, and the others need three to six months. I have time to prepare and complete the procedures one after another."
Li Pan agreed. After all, this was to recruit people from the interstellar fleet. He was anxious and couldn't eat hot tofu, so he spread his hands and said,
"Let's get a fleet first. Let's set a price. "
Then the six people on the opposite side looked at each other, nodded and reached a tacit understanding. The third from the right spoke,
"I'll lease a fleet to you first, for 30 billion per month, starting from three months, plus the ammunition you want. For supplies, the first payment will be 100 billion. Once the funds are received, we will arrange for the fleet to be decommissioned and transferred to the PMC company under your name." The second person from the left added, "
You
will pay the monthly crew salary. According to what you said, five times the salary, because there is only one fleet, and each fleet costs about 200 million. In order to negotiate with the crew, the payment is also starting from three months. The basic salary of 600 million needs to be paid in advance, and the commission and salary increase The bounty is calculated separately, so it is recommended that you prepare a reserve of at least one billion for the PMC company account in advance." The
first left also explained in detail,
"For ammunition supply, our fleet will prepare a three-month base by itself. How much is used, according to The market price is settled in the same month. Generally, the normal cruise consumption during a three-month period is about one billion to three billion.
Of course, under combat missions, the consumption will increase exponentially, and if there is battle damage, loss of ship equipment, personnel pensions All need to be calculated separately."
The third person on the left also expressed his position,
"In three months, we will discuss the specifications of the second batch of support based on your company's war intensity and battlefield situation." The
first person on the right said with a smile,
"Do you agree?"
Li Pan also smiled and said,
"The price you ask is a bit high. I can only buy this fleet for 10 billion. You ask for 1,000, but you are just 'renting' it to me for three months?"
Right He smiled and said,
"Haha, your words are wrong. How can you calculate the price of an empty ship? What's more, it's a seller's market now. It's good to have something to sell to you. How can I give you the cost price? And with a
fleet What's the use of just having a ship? What's valuable is the weapons, equipment, systems, ammunition supplies on the ship, and the crew who have been trained for a long time and can immediately form combat capabilities." Zuo Yi also snorted, "Star
Fleet
is The collective assets of citizens are not owned by us privately. If an entire light aircraft fleet disappears from the establishment and comes to be your thugs for three months, the risks we will bear are unpredictable." Okay, so this
time The content of the transaction is to lease an integrated fleet directly transferred from Starfleet.
It includes two light cruisers, four cruisers, four destroyers, more than 40 frigate-class support ships, 400 various SMS and drones, and a crew of 2,000, for a period of three months. Including basic supply consumption, hidden expenses of public relations fees, handling fees and risk fees, the quoted price is 100 billion.
Considering the operating costs of the fleet in the later period and the loss of supplies in war situations, after the PMC company is established, at least 5 billion will have to be filled into the account as a reserve.
Well, the price... is actually not bad...
After all, just now, Li Pan helped Shiba get a Whale and a batch of drones from Gao Tianyuan, which was basically the combat readiness of a standard light aircraft carrier. Specifications, it cost 50 billion.
Of course, the ship of Shiba is so expensive, mainly because of the recent nuclear explosions in the Night City, the corporate war has broken out, and the arms market has gone crazy. Moreover, Shiba doesn't save money for the company at all, and he only picks expensive equipment and weapons. After buying it, it also directly connected to the latest ICCS intelligent central command system, established a central drone command chain, and realized an unmanned automated intelligent fleet. This is much more advanced than just using living people, and of course it is also much more expensive.
Li Pan thought for a while, "Then what about the fleet supplies I want."
The second person on the right said,
"I can provide you with the vacuum coordinates of a batch of abandoned battleships and the mining supply points in the asteroid belt, and you can load and unload them yourself. The fleet can also bring them. I’ll give you part of it. For subsequent supply of road strength, you can use the cruise supply points and military space stations of the Star Fleet in the KBO belt.” The third from the right
added,
“As long as you see the first 100 billion payment arrive, we will help you set up the PMC Company, collect the fleet."
Li Pan nodded, looked at them,
"Okay, I will bring your proposal to our company, but it is only 100 billion, I don't think it will be a problem, do you have any other requests? ."
After the six people on the other side were silent for a while, Zuoyi smiled and said,
"That's enough for today. Don't be impatient. We also need to look at the cards first, calculate the winning rate, and then decide how to bet."
So the six people moved neatly, added sugar cubes, and picked up the teacups.
"Thank you for your help."
Li Pan stood up and suddenly stopped,
"By the way, I want to buy some spices, do you have any?"
The other five people drank tea directly and disappeared from the room in an instant, while You paused and answered him ,
"Don't worry about this. Necessities such as spices are definitely included in the fleet's supplies, and you are indispensable.
Of course, the price depends on the market. Please understand this."
Li Pan stared at him,
"I understand, then, I personally want to buy an induced attitude generator for covert reconnaissance. Can you give me a price?"
Right touched his chin and said,
"Induced attitude? That equipment is controlled by a three-party network of the fleet, customs, and security bureau. It can be scrapped with the ship and sold separately. It is illegal to dismantle the ship privately.
If you want, you can buy the ship directly after the PMC is established. If the business can be negotiated, I can arrange it and give you a hidden reconnaissance ship at a cost price of 200 million. Do you need anything else?"
Why, isn't it him...
"I see...No more, thank you for your help."
The one on the right also drank tea and went offline.
But...which one is Amakusa?
After this round of talks, Li Pan guessed that the six people on the other side were probably the powerful people in the fleet who were in charge of personnel transfer, fleet equipment, ammunition supply, and even central command.
After all, the Ye Group had only arrived in 0791 not long ago. Although the old-school Oda retainers like Shibata had been dismissed from the army when they surrendered, the officers and generals of the Star Fleet from top to bottom were still full of the forces cultivated by Takamagahara.
Now, with the collapse of the old forces led by the Oda clan, various civil strife, disintegration and genocide, I am afraid that the old class system and power structure within the fleet have also changed.
From the fact that the other party has dared to rent out the reorganized fleet and sell military supplies, it can be seen that the Star Fleet is on the verge of losing control of the committee.
I'm afraid that these extreme forces that are inclined to the Red Tengu and the Butterfly Society have completely lost control and risen to power.
Of course, this is a good thing for Li Pan. After all, only these extremists are willing to cooperate with the company and dare to participate in the company's war and use the company's life-saving money to solve his urgent needs.
But thinking about it this way, TheM is rich.
Just throw away tens of trillions casually, and hundreds of billions will be used to fight. As a result, Li Pan is now desensitized when talking to others about businesses worth hundreds of billions, and he makes decisions without even blinking.
Maybe the aura of the dogs in Zhutian Company was probably tempered in this way...
Li Pan left the private room, and the robot bartender held a tray at the door and brought a cup of tea and a sugar cube.
Li Pan also saw that 'drinking tea' should be a preset script that can delete traces and log off the server without being traced. The sugar cube is the data video and meeting minutes of the negotiation between the two parties just now.
Hehe, he was very thoughtful. All parties have backed up the contents of the agreement, which can be considered a formal negotiation. There is no yin and yang contract. Just send the declaration to the company and ask for money.
Li Pan ate the sugar cube casually and was about to drink tea when the robot bartender suddenly said,
"Sir, would you like to buy some spices? We have ten kilograms in stock right now. You are a VIP member and I can give you a discount. It only costs 10 billion." , and provide you with a two-gram sample."
Li Pan suddenly turned around and stared at the bartender, "So it's you?"
The bartender was noncommittal, "I gave you what you asked for, but where is what I asked for."
Li Pan didn't agree with him either. Nonsense, "It's in my hands, how do you want to deliver it, upload it directly?"
The bartender remained calm and took out another sugar cube and put it on the tray.
"Bring your things, come alone, and we'll meet and talk."
Li Pan picked up the sugar cube,
"But I'd like to state in advance that I can't take out 10 billion at the moment, and I may be questioned if I take the company's account." The
bartender He sneered and said,
"It doesn't matter, I'm different from them. I'm not doing it for money, I'm doing it to watch the city of night burn."
Li Pan shrugged, swallowed the sugar cube, and raised his glass to greet him.
"Then you are awesome."
Then Li Pan drank the black tea in one gulp and logged off the server.
Not for money?
Hehe, Amakusa is indeed an idealist. Don’t you still understand?
Things in this world can only be solved by money. As long as you have money, you can solve anything... huh?
"Crooked? Eighteen? What happened?"
"Boss, Kotaro was kidnapped."
