Chapter 337: A Gentleman Judges by Actions, Not Intentions

According to the terms of the Subordinate God Contract.

After the proxy war concluded, all spoils within the Alien Demi-god's divine kingdom naturally belonged to the main god.

Therefore, after the war ended, those three Subordinate Gods did not handle any resources without authorization, but instead notified Yang Fan immediately.

Now, that Yang Fan was willing to reward them with buildings below C-grade and ordinary Spirit Plants was already considered extremely generous.

"Yes, Master."

Yang Da respectfully accepted the order.

The next moment, a vast army of Alien Gatherers set out from Yang Fan's divine kingdom.

These Alien Gatherers possessed almost no combat capabilities.

Their sole purpose for existing was to gather, transport, and reclaim land.

With over a hundred million in number, the Alien Gatherers, like a steel torrent, entered the divine kingdoms of the three Subordinate Gods one after another.

Subsequently, using their divine kingdoms as spatial stepping stones, they descended upon those three Alien God-Kingdoms.

A large-scale reclamation effort officially began.

Meanwhile.

The consciousnesses of the three Subordinate Gods remained within their own divine kingdoms.

Gazing at the dense, seemingly endless sea of Alien Gatherers, they couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Is… is this the Alien Gatherers specialized in land reclamation?"

"There are actually over a hundred million of them!"

One of them, face full of shock, exclaimed, "This God is just too wealthy!"

Another person's eyes filled with envy.

"Such strength, such foundation."

"I wonder if there will be a chance to sign another Subordinate God Contract after this one ends."

For a moment, the same thought arose in all three of their minds.

Being able to follow such a main god.

It seems… actually quite nice.

…

The real world.

Yang Fan sent a message to Li Tianheng.

[From now on, recruit Subordinate Gods at market price, still paying the Divinity Points upfront in a lump sum.]

[However, you may add a new contract clause: after winning a Divine Kingdom War, resources of C-grade and below in the Alien God-Kingdom shall be disposed of by the Subordinate God at their own discretion.]

The message had just been sent when Li Tianheng replied immediately, "Understood!"

Looking at the new arrangements, Li Tianheng couldn't help but smile.

He had long felt that the compensation Yang Fan previously offered was simply too high.

Now that it had been adjusted, it finally looked much more reasonable.

In fact, Yang Fan's large-scale recruitment of agents wasn't just for the divine kingdom cores and finding the coordinates of Alien Gods' divine kingdoms.

Beyond that, the divine kingdom cores of these agents themselves were also a part of Yang Fan's overarching plan.

He was no nanny, so naturally, he wouldn't coddle these unrelated people.

Therefore, he would continuously adjust the contract terms according to the actual situation.

Now, he needed to increase the win rate of the Alien Demi-gods slightly.

In this way, it better aligned with Yang Fan's own interests.

Moreover, in Yang Fan's view, all of this was within the scope allowed by the Federation's rules.

Both legal and compliant.

And in the eyes of those Demi-gods, Yang Fan remained a generous main god who paid compensation in advance.

As the saying goes, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions.

At least judging by the results, even if it returned to market prices.

Because of the upfront payment of Divinity Points, the overall win rate of those Demi-gods participating in Divine Kingdom Wars would still be higher than other gods' Subordinate God Contracts.

Yang Fan believed that as the first batch of Subordinate Gods spread the news.

Even if he lowered the price, many talented Demi-gods would still voluntarily come to sign contracts.

What he needed was not compensation far above the market rate.

As long as it was slightly higher than other gods, it would be enough.

This way, he could continuously obtain divine kingdom cores.

And he wouldn't incur the dislike of other gods due to excessively outrageous compensation.

…

In the real world, another three days passed.

On this day, Ma Yu sent over three more documents.

The first was a plan regarding the future investment direction of the Yang Group.

Among them, the commercial investment portion would be entirely handled by Intelligent Life.

Considering the future development potential of Xiling Star.

Ma Yu suggested taking Xiling Star as the core to gradually invest in enterprises on surrounding habitable planets, while simultaneously acquiring resource planets in the real world.

As for technological research and development, it would be unified and laid out on Xiling Star.

Since the company's capital was currently extremely abundant, Ma Yu suggested investing ten trillion Divinity Points in the first phase.

Yang Fan merely glanced at it before signing his approval.

The second document was a talent reserve plan.

Although Elephant Loan had already delisted.

But relying on its status as a former listed company, it still maintained a fixed thirty-square-meter office at both Primordial Academy and Xingqiong Academy, where it could conduct talent investment business at any time.

However, Ma Yu still specifically added a note: [Students capable of entering these two top academies are all proud and arrogant; now that the Yang Group has just delisted, its brand influence has already declined.

If we want to sign these Geniuses, the cost required will likely be higher than before, and it may not be cost-effective.]

As for the third document, it was a proposal for establishing a sales department.

The content of the document was not complicated; it was more of a market research report.

It clearly pointed out that Spirit Stones, Earth Core Spirit Milk, and Enlightenment Tea were the most stable hard currency in the Federation.

Especially Earth Core Spirit Milk and Enlightenment Tea; since they must rely on S-grade resource buildings to be produced, the market has always been in a state of short supply.

And the vast commercial channels previously accumulated by Elephant Loan could still be utilized today.

As long as the supply was sufficient, whether it was online transactions or offline partnerships, sales could be opened up rapidly.

Furthermore, some major long-term clients preferred offline transactions to further reduce transaction costs and avoid taxes.

Aside from the document on talent investment.

In the other two documents, Ma Yu not only listed detailed investment directions but also formulated complete implementation plans and phase goals.

From capital allocation and project approval to risk assessment and personnel arrangements, everything was planned in an orderly manner.

Yang Fan just browsed through it briefly and couldn't help but nod gently.

Ma Yu was truly worthy of being the former boss who managed a listed company.

This ability was indeed unquestionable.

…

The next moment, Yang Fan put on his virtual helmet, and his consciousness re-entered the Virtual World.

Xiling Star.

With the formal establishment of the Yang Group, various construction projects had long been completed.

And Xiling Star in the real world had also welcomed its first commercial landmark.

A skyscraper standing several thousand meters tall pierced the clouds.

The entire building was crafted from silver-white metal, its surface flowing with faint data streams, and the four characters "Yang Group" at the top slowly emitted a soft glow.

With a sweep of Yang Fan's Mental Energy, the entire scene of the group headquarters came into view.

Inside the office hall, a large number of staff members were moving about quickly.

Floating light screens were constantly expanding and closing.

[Contract uploaded, please confirm permissions.]

[Cross-Star Domain transaction application approved.]

[Resource planet acquisition plan synchronized to the Intelligent Hub.]

[Federal Industry and Commerce System is verifying enterprise information…]

[The Seventh Financial Intelligence has completed today's tax calculations.]

A series of intelligent notification sounds rose and fell, with countless data streams intertwining and flashing in mid-air.
