BXBX NOVEL Chapter 510 - 510 Light in the Twists and Turns (3)
“A complete galactic territory is too expensive; my wealth might only be enough to buy one. The efficiency is too low,” Qu Fang said. “I need enough habitable planets, even if they are very scattered!”
Qu Fang gazed at Xu Jingming. “To buy so many habitable planets on a large scale, that amount of wealth will be tempting! Many people in the universe will be tempted, so I need a partner. I’ll establish a company, and I’ll take 80% of the company’s shares. Brother Wu Ming, you’ll take 20%, but in this company… Brother Wu Ming, you won’t benefit from it. The company’s profits will be reinvested.”
“The company will groom talents, and a portion of the talents’ income will be returned to the company. The company will continue investing in more people and keep the pot rolling.”
“We’ll start with 3,000 habitable planets. A single planet conservatively has a population of one billion, which makes it a total population of three trillion.” Xu Jingming sighed. “Qu Fang, that will be a lot of good you’ll be doing.”
“People have to do something when they’re alive.”
Qu Fang said, “Actually, the three Paramount realms allow our human race to maintain competition internally! Weak civilizations at the bottom have it difficult because of the competition mechanism. The entire human race needs this mechanism to make humans work harder, but this mechanism… does have some unavoidable flaws. I’m only doing a little to help the marginalized.”
“On the one hand, it’s to groom more talents for the human race. With so many people, we might be able to nurture Origin lifeforms and great scholars. On the other hand, it’s also to give those pitiful people some warmth and more possibilities,” Qu Fang said.
Xu Jingming nodded.
“Will you focus on grooming the natives?” Xu Jingming asked.
“Yes, many civilizations would rather increase their own populations,” Qu Fang answered. “After all, they reproduce very quickly with biotechnology. There’s no need to nurture other natives, but what about the natives? They are also humans.”
“The Cosmic Human Alliance’s bill only guarantees them the most basic rights.” Qu Fang shook his head. “Sometimes, I think the competition is too cruel. But… When I look beyond the human race and at the other races in the universe, I’m surprised to discover that the human race is already the most forgiving. The other races in the universe are even more cruel.”
Xu Jingming nodded. “Yes, the cosmic human race has fallen several times in history, resulting in discontinuous history.”
It was obvious how terrifying the calamity was to have a breakage in history.
“Therefore, I understand the decision of the three Paramount realm experts. Humans need competition,” Qu Fang said with a smile. “I’m just a small fry who can play a small role.”
“I just need 1% of your company,” Xu Jingming said. “After all, you only need my name. I’ll appear at critical moments.”
“No, 1% doesn’t prove anything. 20%! First, it won’t affect my management. Second, it’s enough to make it clear that you have interests due to this company,” Qu Fang said. “I believe your name is enough for us to hold on to thousands of habitable planets.”
Xu Jingming smiled and nodded. “Alright, as you wish. What’s the company’s name?”
“Why don’t we each contribute a word with our names?” Qu Fang smiled. “Let’s call it the Quming Group? Like my last name ‘Qu,’ there will be twists and turns, but the future… will definitely be very bright just like your name ‘ming.’”
“It will also bring light to many people.” Xu Jingming nodded. “Alright, feel free to come to me if there’s anything.”
“Then, I’ll set up the company right away.” Qu Fang nodded before dissipating.
Xu Jingming sat there and put down his glass.
Over the years, I’ve seen many people, be it in reality or the virtual world. But someone as pure as Qu Fang… is unique. Xu Jingming felt that Qu Fang was like a beam of light that warmed others.
