Lin Guangming: They reached out to me first, stating that the Bright Holy Sect must ensure their safety. However, Boss, if we choose to take them in, we can expect violent conflicts with the powers of the Underworld.
Lin Guangming: This Armament Studio used to be backed by Jin San. Now that Jin San is dead, they've become fat prey in the eyes of all Underworld forces. There has been fierce competition for them lately, with several Underworld wars erupting, and several of their family members have died as a result. They're very panicked.
Lin Rui pondered—was there even a need to think about it?
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Take them down! If your side lacks strength, ask me for assistance.
Lin Guangming: Understood! Also, Supreme, about the interstellar freight company you mentioned, I've found a very suitable acquisition target.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Which company? Tell me more in detail.
Lin Rui not only wanted to acquire an Alien Company but also a small interstellar freight company.
'Rui Fang Pharmaceutical Company's' purchasing volume was indeed quite large and would continue to grow.
Lin Rui had just exchanged for 'Dragon Stage' pharmacology of Sky Extreme Star from the No. 2 Battle Spirit.
This skill originated from 'Ling Huan', but Ling Huan's Dragon Stage pharmacology was actually quite mediocre, only at the entry level.
Lin Rui himself had spent nearly twenty thousand soul power points to deduce it to a master level.
In the chain reaction of various knowledge, Lin Rui had another 'inspiration burst', coming up with two formulas very suitable for commercialization. One was perfect for beauty products, capable of durably improving the luster of skin and hair; the other worked on the human brain, continuously enhancing and improving mental capacity.
Such formulas would require a long time for validation. It was difficult to get a drug license, but once obtained, the commercial prospects were enormous.
Therefore, to prepare for a rainy day, they must establish their own raw material procurement channels.
Besides, with the extensive administrative resources Lin Rui controlled on Sky Extreme Star, it would be a huge loss not to engage in some trade business.
A few days ago, Lin Rui's Alien had visited over a dozen warehouses of the Spy Detection Bureau, accompanied by two Vice Envoys. The warehouses were filled with various seized goods, rotting away from exposure to the weather.
It's said that the Spy Detection Bureau scraps tens of millions of Magic Silver worth in various goods every year, which made Lin Rui shake his head endlessly.
Many citizens of Great Song were struggling to survive, yet the court let so much waste rot in the warehouses.
Lin Rui thought it would be so much better if he could sell these goods to the Federation. That would be better than letting them rot away.
But interstellar trade wasn't easy to manage. The Starships for transportation were actually the easiest to handle. No. 9 had the capability to acquire enough second-hand parts and could assemble all types of Escort Ships, Armed Cargo Spaceships, and Destroyers.
According to No. 9, she could ensure that the performance of these second-hand assembled ships could be tuned to eighty percent of a brand-new ship.
The key was the 'Ship Operation License' and 'Docking Permit'.
The Federation government indeed encouraged smuggling trade with Sky Extreme Star, but for easy management and to prevent unregulated competition, the Federation would only issue licenses to trading companies with certain strength and qualifications. Each ship had a corresponding number; without registration, they could not enter the port, and the goods could not be unloaded for sale.
If Lin Rui wanted to smuggle some medicine and Armament with his two Starships, that was possible.
But if he wanted to kickstart large-scale commodity trade, he must register a formal interstellar freight company.
With Lin Rui's current strength, he could apply, but he estimated that it would take at least a year to go through the whole process, not to mention the obstruction from those large trading companies.
So it was best to directly acquire one to avoid various bureaucratic troubles.
The problem was that he was out of money!
Lin Rui currently had only about 50 billion in cash and roughly 30 billion in undisclosed funds.
Besides, a large transaction with a net revenue of 57 billion was about to be completed, but even with this money, it was not enough to acquire both a trading company and an Alien Company at the same time.
Lin Rui was ready to take out a loan, but of course, he hoped to buy a good company with as little money as possible.
At this moment, the Heart of Light No. 9 sent a pile of information files to Lin Rui.
Lin Guangming: Supreme, look at this peculiar company I found. It has a Ship Operation License, thirty blank registered numbers, and Docking Permits, as well as a Cargo Port Operation License for 20 medium-sized ships.
After reviewing the data, Lin Rui cursed silently—how could this interstellar trade company's licenses be so complete?
Lin Guangming: At the same time, I also discovered that the Logistics Department of the Star Navy has sold a large amount of scrapped parts to this company. After examining these parts, assembling ten Guardian Battleships and ten Armed Transport Ships would be feasible. And the actual controller of this company is a Two Stars Marshal!
Lin Guangming: Boss, do you remember the smuggling case that the Third Special Action Department cracked before? The Vice Director of Logistics involved in that smuggling case is the same person.
Lin Rui narrowed his eyes: So, this company was likely set up to prepare for large-scale smuggling deals?
Lin Guangming: It seems so. What's interesting is that this company has no operating records yet. Also, to distance himself from the company, the Vice Director put several layers of shells around the trading company.
Lin Guangming: They placed the trading company's shares under the names of three shell companies, all owned by deceased individuals who had entrusted their operating rights to a trust management company called 'Tian He Wealth'. With the power you currently wield, Supreme, you could acquire these three shell companies at a drastically low price through a special method.
Lin Rui understood No. 9's implications and couldn't help but clench his fists.
It just so happened that the smuggling case involving 'Tianyang Elderly Care Center' hadn't been closed yet. The authority and power of the 'National Security Special Action Center' had also increased. The Thunder Admiral's big knife was already itching to strike.
Lin Guangming: Additionally, while investigating, I came across something else. Your uncle, Lin Da, is likely in trouble due to your involvement. He's on the verge of bankruptcy, and your grandfather has already been moved to a secondary position in the military and might be placed on reserve for the second time.
Lin Rui was stunned for a moment, then immediately accessed the internal intelligence database of the Security Bureau to check Lin Da's situation.
Lin Da's company was indeed in terrible shape, owed over two billion federal coins by the military's Logistics Department, in addition to several orders.
Lin Rui's expression gradually turned grim. He had no personal affection for Lin Da, but he disliked causing trouble for others because of his own affairs.
Lin Rui knew that Lin Da must have been implicated because of him; it was essentially a hostile action targeted at Lin Rui himself.
