Osborne Megacorp

"What I'm showing you now is a space engineering vessel loaded with various metals."

Qiaoshou Ship 1 slowly landed at the Osborne Space Base, and rows of handling robots moved various rough metals into the warehouse.

"These minerals all come from space, an asteroid, its name is 1994 PC1."

"Yes, Osborne has turned his imagination into reality. We now have the ability to mine asteroids. The value of minerals produced by this 1140-meter-diameter asteroid alone is between US$900-1500 billion. between."

Now not only the American people and the people at the bottom of various countries were exclaimed, but many upper-class people also felt that something was wrong.

Osborne has nuclear fusion energy and automated production technology. Now they can even dig mines from the sky themselves...

You must know that the ownership of space resources is still quite vague internationally. It can be said that whoever has the ability to develop it belongs to whom.

As for the United States... the United States has always maintained that the moon and other space resources are not owned by all mankind, and it has great intentions of extending American laws to the entire universe. Now that they really have this ability, who can stop them?

And everyone knows how rich asteroid resources are.

"We don't have to hurt this blue planet anymore. There are endless resources in space waiting for us to develop. We have a bright future. This is what I want to say to you."

"Finally, congratulations, father."

Harry hung up the phone.

"How was my performance just now? This promotion should be passable, right?" Harry said.

Hurley nodded: "Not bad."

In fact, there is no need to promote it at all, the breakthrough technology is right in front of you.

"Then go to the next step of the board of directors." Harry said.

Next, he has to connect with the United Nations Secretary-General and representatives of the four permanent members, which Fury helped do.

These people had been reluctant to accept Harry's invitation, but now they had to talk.

"Hello everyone, I'm very happy that you can accept my invitation."

Harry stood up and bowed slightly to several people.

"Mr. Osborne, so what do you want to talk about?" the Secretary-General said.

"I believe you have seen the technology I just demonstrated to you. As an outstanding entrepreneur, I would like to suggest to you that a Space Resources Development Agency be established in the United Nations to develop outer space resources in the name of the United Nations."

Osborne is the only company capable of contracting business in this sector.

Several people were silent. They knew what Harry was talking about, but some of them didn't know his purpose - was it just to make money?

Logically speaking, they can rely on the United States to develop on their own. This behavior is completely inconsistent with the country's previous style and the world situation.

"... What we have always advocated is that space resources belong to all mankind. Of course we are willing to accept this proposal, but we all know that the United States has never thought so."

The Maoist leader was outspoken, and this is what others thought too.

This proposal is meaningless as long as any one of the five permanent members vetoes it.

"Times change, and so does America." Harry shrugged. "This proposal is also what the American people want. So everyone, you can discuss it privately. I am just a small entrepreneur. Thank you for listening to my suggestions."

"A small entrepreneur, right?" The leader of the Eastern Kingdom smiled, "I agree with Mr. Osborne's suggestion."

"Are we going to vote here?"

"Just expressing our wishes."

In fact, the Eastern Conference was the first to show that it was colluding - Norman had a private meeting with them before, discussing the issue of the Mandarin.

In this world, the Mandarin is not a legend. He dominated the Eastern Kingdom for many years. It was not until the middle of the last century that the Mandarin was deposed from the throne and became a KB member.

Although this Mandarin was a fake, Harry knew that the real civil and military would come to him.

He has always been the number one concern of the Spear Bureau. Due to some reasons both inside and outside the book, Harry didn't want to have too much to do with it. The East Kingdom also needed the Mandarin's information, so the two sides hit it off.

Anyway, it is only a matter of time to vote in favor.

"Then we also agree with this proposal."

However, then Mao Guo also voted in favor!

This is related to some of the engineering technologies that Harry privately demonstrated to Mauritius, and Harry revealed some of the next-stage promotion plans for fusion energy.

Since the disintegration, this country's energy industry has been in a slump. If they can't get on this train, they will face serious problems.

The other two permanent members didn't understand what was going on - these two old rivals didn't even pretend to think?

Logically speaking, the two opposing powers agreed to this proposal, so the other two followers and allies naturally had no reason to disagree, so France and Britain also nodded.

The secretary-general looked at a few people and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't.

In fact, members of the Security Council had raised Osborne's issue with him before, believing that the high-tech weapons in their hands would have an impact on world peace.

But now that what Osborne has brought out is technology for development, it is not his turn to dictate.

Other member states may agree with the United Nations that the Osborne weapon is too dangerous, but they will never give up the opportunity to get on board.

The representatives from the four countries looked at the Secretary-General.

The Secretary-General wiped his sweat. The source of his power was to play both sides of several big countries, but if everyone agreed to a proposal... he would be a serious "Secretary-General."

So several people completed preliminary research and discussions on the Space Resources Development Department in front of Harry.

This department is funded by various countries, and Osborne is responsible for providing personnel and technology. Its main purpose is to develop space resources in the name of the United Nations on Earth. These mined metal resources are allocated by each funding country.

At the same time, because it is now a seller's market, the contract issued by the United Nations to Osborne is also quite superior. In addition to a large amount of activity funds, Osborne will become the first "space resource development company" in history to be recognized by the vast majority of the member states of the United Nations. pioneer".

This title is meaningless in nature, and even the definition is vague. It gives Osborne the legitimacy to expand his territory in space, but because it is a title that values ​​​​spirituality-this provision imposes restrictions on some powers such as diplomacy. The description of Quan is more ambiguous.

To put it simply, it is equivalent to a privateering license - in an era without ships, a privateering license was just a piece of waste paper, but in some special periods, it was not the same thing.

The discussions between several major powers soon ended. The era of carving up the earth was about to pass, and they had to start thinking about how to carve up space.

The talks between the great powers are over, but the secretary-general's communications have not been cut off.

"How about it, Mr. Secretary-General, my previous proposal is still valid."

Harry and the Secretary-General had talked before, but at that time the Secretary-General did not believe Harry, or that the United States and Osborne were willing to invest technology and resources in other countries to help them develop.

But in fact, Harry's goal is not other countries, but the entire earth.

"...So you will really help other small countries develop instead of dropping a few more bombs on their heads?" The Secretary-General himself comes from a small country. If Osborne is really willing to use their technology to help these poor countries Development is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

As for the struggle for hegemony... small countries and their people have always considered how to survive without starving, instead of thinking about dumping, anti-dumping, and trade wars.

By accepting Osborne's help, they may gradually lose some power, but sandwiched between major powers, their living space is already pitiful, especially at this point where they are about to enter a technological singularity.

"Of course, but you don't have to give me an answer now. We can take it step by step and think about it, Mr. Secretary-General."

The communication ended and the space station returned to silence.

"With the boardroom over, Osborne is now the only capable private space development contractor on Earth."

Harry took Hurley's hand and came to the window. The earth looked extremely small against the backdrop of the universe.

"We can do whatever we want here. How is the scenery here?"

Hurley looked over, and the two looked at each other.

Harry clapped his hands, hugged Hurley's slim waist, then held her slender and toned thighs and carried her to the table.

Hurley's hands also hugged Harry, stroking his well-developed back muscles very charmingly.

"It's beautiful. Plus, you can always do whatever you want, Chairman."
