Chapter 599 The Ten Great Consortiums
.
When Zhang Ziqiang talked about the warship, he was also very excited. He stood up and danced in the air. His spiritual consciousness suddenly strengthened, and his words were conveyed directly pointing to the hearts of the military and political officials in the hall: "This situation will change soon! I require that the empire's fleet should be consistent with Randybos after it is formulated, and all ship types must be able to be built by themselves!"
"Don't think I'm bragging. Now the royal family has a production line of level 4 radium cannons. The empire no longer needs to buy level 4 radium cannons from level 4 countries. The royal family will have more and more new technologies. Within five years, my goal will be achieved! At that time, the empire's current military budget and fleet size can be afforded!"
"It is now that the four major fleets I am planning to expand and the existing fleet are replaced. The main warships are ready to buy them directly from Randybos. The royal family has no shortage of ideological power. Originally, low-level ship types can also be purchased by Randybos, but in order to improve their own science and technology system, we decided to make them ourselves. The standard is set here, and the price can be higher. Whether they can be taken away depends on the major ship manufacturing companies of the empire."
Well, in this way, if the Imperial fleet was expanded to nine in non-war times, its total military expenditure would be less than that of William's royal family! With the Kestows line and technical advantages, the royal family's profit projects would inevitably increase one after another. In fact, in Zhang Ziqiang's concept, warships are not valuable, and military equipment is not valuable. The most valuable one is Jing Rui Warriors.
Today, the ministers of Arica were overly stimulated, but Gaston reacted quickly. He suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty! Long live Arica!" The people inside and outside the hall woke up like a dream, and they all raised their arms and spoke loudly, and the sound made the entire palace tremble!
Zhang Ziqiang pressed his hands slightly, and after the voices of the ministers subsided, he said: "Emperor Randybos died unexpectedly on the battlefield, and the country was divided into four forces. This is a good time for the empire to expand its territory. I hope you will work together to fight for the strength of Arica!"
When the court meeting was about to end, Ananda also announced an unexpected edict that everyone in the palace today would have to choose an NV person left by William's royal family according to their position! The whole process would be recorded. Those who chose left, and those who did not choose did not have to go back. Since they still want to be an old minister of William's royal family, then go with William's family!
The military and political officials were stunned by this strange and thoughtful edict. If they had not been broadcasted to the public, they would not care. How could they bear to do such a thing in the media? However, everyone looked up and saw Zhang Ziqiang expressionless, Ananda's murderous aura appeared. After the encouragement just now, they knew that this was a letter of fame. If they didn't agree, they might have to die, so they had to obey their orders.
Ananda did this move and was not afraid of people saying that the current royal family was barbaric. She had absolute strength in her hands, so what was the point of being barbaric? This kind of behavior eliminated the influence of William's royal family in the people in one fell swoop, and also allowed the military and political officials to completely draw a clear line with William's royal family. I think even if some people loyal to William's royal family would hate these military and political officials. Ananda's method was barbaric, but it was also effective.
After the court meeting, all the military and political officials selected people, and the gods left the palace in a complicated manner. Those who had low positions were not selected, and the gods were even more complicated! Gaston gained the most today, so naturally there were people who were congratulated around him. He made an appointment with the military and political officials on the grounds that he had important matters, and then left in a hurry. The troublemaker seemed to find that the direction of the waterway of Stephanie's high-speed flight seemed to be the same as Gaston. Could it be that she also had to discuss combat plans in broad daylight?
After Zhang Ziqiang and Ananda broke up, they were not idle. They met with the chairman of the nine major consortiums. Although the Arica Empire is a "consortium politics", the consortium is a consortium after all, and no matter how rich he has, he cannot participate in the discussion of state affairs. It is not difficult for them to meet Zhang Ziqiang. Zhang Ziqiang will not offend the real masters of these empires for the time being.
In addition to the royal family, the nine major consortiums of Arica operate all kinds of projects, and all industries in China and the people's "food, clothing, housing and transportation" are involved. There is mutual cooperation between consortiums, and competition is also at the same time. Member companies within consortiums sometimes change each other, mergers and acquisitions, etc. Everything depends on relationships and business, and no one can monopolize a certain industry. Even the consortium chairman is not unchanged, and there are many latecomers in internal enterprises. The consortium has a good competition mechanism everywhere.
But there is also a nine major consortium that will not change, that is, the name and main business of the consortium. Whenever any Arica person mentions a certain product, he will first check whether there is a corresponding consortium name - the name and main business of the consortium are the most precious wealth of the consortium.
The Austin Consortium is mainly engaged in the mineral smelting industry. Jimmy Soren is ranked first among the consortium with six large metal smelting space stations. It can be said that for a long time in the future, the member companies in the consortium have not surpassed Jimmy Soren. He is a veritable metal tycoon in Arica. Jimmy Soren made great contributions when he won the throne, and the time for his harvest was approaching.
The Meffentan Consortium mainly sells clothing, cosmetics, and luxury goods. The consortium chairman is Eveer. Gaston is her backer supported by the military. This is also one of the targets Ananda and Zhang Ziqiang decided to win over. With Gaston's relationship, the royal luxury business will probably make Eveer successful in the future. It is conceivable that the Meffentan Consortium will also usher in new development opportunities.
The main projects of the KDNY East Consortium and the Toonin Consortium are similar. They are both engaged in space ship manufacturing. The private transport ships are divided by these two groups. The frigates and destroyers of several major fleets are almost from the hands of these two groups. The chairman of the consortium is Jesse and Martin. Zhang Ziqiang has sent out four major fleets to expand this part of the féirou. The two have to go around and are ready to pull one and fight the other to balance. It depends on who is more sensible.
Simon of Bansivi Consortium mainly engages in mineral heavy machinery, and Steven of Nanktine Consortium mainly engages in space station construction. These two major consortiums also have a main project, which is to design and manufacture military equipment for the military, and is Arica's absolute arms dealer.
Zhang Ziqiang wanted to be controlled by the royal family and would not offend them for the time being. He would first throw some bones into the research and development and manufacturing of arms. If they could voluntarily withdraw from the arms market and only engage in mining heavy industry machinery and space stations or space city businesses, Zhang Ziqiang wanted to cooperate with them with a considerable technology in the manufacturing of ore rough refining platforms and space stations, it depends on their courage.
Yarome of the Gutenga Consortium mainly deals in optical brain and software, Daining of the Lunban Consortium mainly deals in grain and food, and Roger of the Hammi Consortium mainly deals in real estate development. These three consortiums are not worthy of Zhang Ziqiang's efforts to win over. As long as they can settle down, they will not suppress them.
In the eyes of the nine major consortiums, the royal family is the leader of the consortium and has its main projects, namely gene optimization liquid, warships, and military equipment. These ten major consortiums have a huge influence in the Arica Empire.
Economically, no one knows which consortium has the most funds. Although the royal family enjoys a huge military budget, it also needs to support several large fleets. It is really hard to calculate how much private money can be. However, in politics, the royal family has an absolute dominance, and the other nine consortiums need to continue to invest political donations to bet that those who support themselves can compete for the position of the cabinet, but the royal family occupies two. The emperor himself is still a big boss and is even more dictatorial in military affairs.
Therefore, although the royal family is also called a consortium by the people, the emperor is the monarch, and the chairman of the other nine consortiums cannot even be called a minister, and can only be regarded as a enrichment of the people. Zhang Ziqiang is well aware of the influence of the economy, so the chairman of these nine consortiums came to pay respectful respect to the new king. He was also very polite to the nine people, and even finalized many cooperation projects with several consortiums on the spot.
He invested in Austin Consortium with some of the jing refining platforms that Kestows were transporting back, invested in the Tunien Consortium with power furnace technology, invested in the Nanktine Consortium with space artificial biosphere management and control technology, and acquired the Meffentan Consortium with royal exclusive supply contracts, and invested in the Bansivi Consortium with ore rough refining platforms and mining barge production technology. There is only one rough refining platform production line, which can produce ten to twelve sets a year. This is a killer-level existence for Arica's space mining industry, and the royal family can only be responsible for sales.
The technology of the Little Claw Base has greatly enhanced his influence among these five major consortiums, and the benefits of the royal family can be greatly improved. The army is dictatorial, and there is no more direct and effective way to control these nine major consortiums. William has done this before, but he does not have so many technologies. Kestow has this technology, but he does not have the status of his...
However, he did not take out any of the technologies related to Immortal Array Technology and Divine Array Technology. He refined the metal spiritual materials himself, and he did not take out the original high-end alloy formula of the Claw Base. He also told several major consortiums that he did not care about the materials used for civilian ships in the future, but the materials of military ships must be purchased from the royal family. Now, metal spiritual materials cannot be directly added. That is too dazzling. If it is replaced with Randybos' alloy formula, it will be fine.
At first, Jimmy Soren thought that Zhang Ziqiang was trying to make profits from it. However, after he took out a few alloy samples and test reports, Jimmy Soren became jealous and repeatedly proposed to exchange shares for this technology.
Zhang Ziqiang knew that technology was precious, and now the royal family dared not promote metal spiritual materials on large scale in Arica. Only the material formula of level five civilizations can be regarded as a technical advantage. However, the sharp claw base is a breakthrough in the research of some alloys. It has both spiritual materials and cannot detect simple spiritual materials. If these technologies form a system in the future, they will not be afraid of promotion.
The old man Jimmy Soren is tough. Although Zhang Ziqiang refused and did not give up, he called NV Chitti to play the tragic card. Zhang Ziqiang had some favors for the old man who was willing to act according to the business rules, and was unable to do so. In the end, Ananda proposed a plan to reach a consensus. The royal family provided technology, Jimmy Soren personally paid for funds and purchased a large metal smelting space station. The jing refining factory in the space station did not enter the Austin consortium, and was managed by Jimmy Soren, which provided materials for warships and was not sold to the public.
