âMiaomiao,â Xu Jingming said to his wife, âyou can register the corporation.â
Li Miaomiao nodded. âAlright.â
âYouâre finally registering? Whatâs the name?â Xu Lixing was very excited.
âIâve discussed it with your mother,â Xu Jingming said with a smile. âLetâs call it the Pearwood Group.â
Li Miaomiao smiled as well.
Pearwood was Li Miaomiaoâs most famous song. The team Xu Jingming and the others formed back then was also named Team Pearwood.
âPearwood Group?â Xu Lixing nodded.
âI donât have the time to deal with the management,â Xu Jingming said. âTherefore, Iâll leave the first and second-in-command of the corporation to the two of you.â
Li Miaomiao asked worriedly, âShouldnât we attract some top talents?â
âI donât feel at ease letting outsiders manage such a huge investment,â Xu Jingming remarked. âThose with greater ability will pose greater danger once they have other thoughts.â
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing nodded slightly.
âMoreover, I also believe in your capabilities. You relied on yourselves to become cosmic lifeforms, and youâre very smart. If you take time to learn in the future, you will become more and more outstanding.â Xu Jingming smiled. âYou can also establish a powerful think tank and get them to come up with strategies. You guys can make the final decision.â
âDad is the biggest shareholder. Mom is the number one in charge, and Iâm second.â Xu Lixing looked forward to it. âIn the past few days, Mom and I have started making preparations. Weâve invited some talents from Earth like Mr. Pang. Many of them are willing to join our corporation.â
âYeah, the talents on Earth are very willing to join you, Jingming.â
âYeah.â
Xu Jingming nodded. âIâll invest 100 trillion cosmic dollars in this corporation for starters.â
âThat much?â Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing were surprised.
Li Miaomiao asked, âWerenât you giving us five trillion previously?â
âTimes have changed,â Xu Jingming commented. âI only have the most basic requirements for a corporationâŚâ
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing listened carefully.
âAt least 90% of the corporationâs core needs to be staffed by Earthlings,â Xu Jingming said. âThe future of this corporation⌠is to forge a new path for Earthâs civilization.â
âForge a new path?â Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing were puzzled.
âA person has to walk on two legs.â Xu Jingming said, âEarthâs civilization also needs two legs! One leg⌠is for Earthâs officials to manage the Milky Way and grooming the growth of talents. The other leg is our Pearwood Groupâa sufficiently powerful corporation with sufficient talents, technological strength, and military strength. For example, the Redmond Group. To put it simply⌠a corporation is a civilization.â
âA corporation is a civilization?â Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing fell into thought.
âIn the future, a wider territory like the Milky Way will be a tangible Earth civilization,â Xu Jingming said. âThe Pearwood Group shall be the intangible version! It will reach into many Star Alliances or even wider.â
âUnderstood,â Li Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise.
âA corporation is a civilization?â Xu Lixing was also very excited. âIâve long heard that some large factions in the universe are comparable to some civilizations. Some factions are even comparable to a Star Alliance. Our Pearwood Group will grow in strength!â
Xu Jingming smiled. âWalking on two legs makes it more stable. This is also what I expect of the Pearwood Group.â
âIâll tell Mr. Pang and the others your expectations and get everyone to formulate a plan for development,â Li Miaomiao said as ideas ran through her head. Establishing a powerful civilization-like corporation naturally required the wisdom of many people.
Xu Jingming smiled and nodded.
This 100 trillion was to expand their territory.
âŚ
It didnât take them long to register a company through the virtual world. The Pearwood Group was established the same day! Xu Jingming took up 80% of the major shareholders, his wife, Li Miaomiao, took up 10%, and his daughter, Xu Lixing, took up 10%. It was entirely under their familyâs control.
******
In the virtual networkâs Cloud Rain World.
Many scions from large families sat separately with their partners.
âFangke.â A man with a female companion smiled and gestured at a singing woman in the distance. âThatâs Miss Yunna, the daughter of Cloud Rain Worldâs owner. I spent a lot of effort to get your review passed, allowing you to become a member of Cloud Rain World.â
âThanks, Brother.â Qin Fangke also had a female companion, but his eyes burned as he looked at the singing woman in the distance. âMiss Yunna.â
âMiss Yunna is a core member of the Cloud City Association, numbered 12,â the man said.
âOur Hunter Cosmic Sectorâs Redmond Group and the Cloud City Association are two hegemonic factions that are far ahead.â Qin Fangke sighed with emotion. âThe Cloud City Association has five Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms in this era, and the association president is said to have an extremely high probability of becoming a cosmic legend.â
âCloud Rain Worldâs circle is very small. Without sufficient status, itâs impossible to pass the review,â the man reminded. âBe careful here. Donât offend anyone.â
âDonât worry. Iâm not stupid. Iâm here to find an opportunity.â Qin Fangke knew very well that any member in this place was probably much better than him.
The female companion beside him looked forward to it. âFangke, shall we go near Miss Yunna? Iâm her fan.â
âWe arenât qualified to approach her,â Qin Fangke whispered. âSheâs surrounded by influential figures from the Hunter Cosmic Sector.â
