Chapter 1647: Imperial Commerce Council
After Zhao Chen signed the decree.
The Ministry of Commerce, which was in charge of the project, immediately began to mobilize.
Because Minister Li Yaqi had already planned most of the procedures before submitting them to Zhao Chen.
It only requires the permission of Zhao Chen, the Emperor of the Dragon.
Now that permission has been granted, it's as if a dam that has been storing water for a long time is finally being opened to release it.
First, the Ministry of Commerce convened an emergency meeting.
The main attendees, apart from the Ministry of Commerce, were high-ranking officials from the Central Bank of the Dragon Star Empire.
Around the round table, Minister Li Yaqi naturally sat at the head of the table. On either side of Minister Li Yaqi sat a Vice Minister of Commerce and the President of the Central Bank of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
Furthermore, the head of the Central Bank of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire has a very special identity, as she has a very conspicuous pair of pure white wings.
That's right, she's not human; she's from the Angel race.
Fenni, the head of the Central Bank, was originally a member of the Angel race. She held a position under the Holy Angel King, but did not have a high status because she was only a two-winged angel.
Because her talent doesn't lie in combat and command.
At the time, she was the head of a branch of the Angelic Interstellar Bank, and she was extremely capable.
Unfortunately, in a race like the Angels, where there is a clear hierarchy and division is based on strength, this is not possible.
Even though Angel Fenni possesses some extremely high talent, her weakness in personal strength still prevents her from having the opportunity to show her true abilities.
It wasn't until later, after the Angels were incorporated into the Wyvern Interstellar Empire, that things changed.
Angel Fenni was given a chance.
At that time, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire wanted to establish the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire Central Bank, which was the largest interstellar central bank that needed to operate in various parts of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire universe.
That would naturally require the establishment of branches in various star systems and regions.
This naturally includes the angel race.
As for personnel, it is well known that the Dragon Star Empire is very strong in military industry, but its only weakness is in talent reserves.
In terms of military talent, the military academies built in earlier years have enabled the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire to have the ability to generate its own talent.
However, there is still a significant shortage of talent in other areas.
Although Zhao Chen and Lilith both considered this issue after the construction of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, they added more subjects to the subsequent academy training, covering all aspects.
However, it would take a very long time to cultivate the talent needed to build an interstellar empire the size of an interstellar universe.
So, before that, what's the fastest way to solve this talent shortage problem?
That means just using what's readily available.
Before the establishment of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire, each faction and interstellar kingdom naturally had its own relevant talents.
Therefore, the Dragon Star Empire directly used its own database to retrieve the data of these talents and sent them employment invitations.
Angel Fenni received this job offer at that time, which made her a staff member of the Central Bank of the Dragon Star Empire in the Angel Star Region.
At the time, many people hesitated and worried about this direct poaching, since most of them had families, relatives, or even extended families behind them.
They abandoned their original jobs and jumped ship to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire system. Would their original superiors have any objections to them?
But their worries were quickly dispelled.
The vast majority of staff who received invitations from the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire almost immediately received messages from the highest-ranking officials in their respective regions, informing them that there was nothing to worry about and that they could go to work in the relevant departments of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire with peace of mind.
If things don't go well afterward, you can return to your original job.
With the public approval from higher authorities, these talented individuals naturally had no more worries and a group of them were among the first to join the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire's system.
As these first batch of talents demonstrated their abilities in their respective positions, more and more talents from various races and factions gradually joined the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
As for these people, the leaders of various races, kingdoms, or even forces did not threaten or pressure them in any way.
On the contrary, those who hold positions in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire have received considerable benefits from their families and relatives.
The reason for this is actually quite obvious to many people.
The Dragon Star Empire is undoubtedly the most powerful entity in the universe.
The weak must submit to the strong; this is a fundamental principle in interstellar civilizations. Otherwise, you will be annihilated.
Those interstellar powers also follow this principle, and from the perspective of the weaker party, what are they most worried about when joining the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire?
That would naturally mean being excluded from the core circle.
This is why many interstellar civilizations, after conquering another interstellar civilization, seem to have conquered it and made it their vassal, but in reality, they have no intention of integrating the other party into their own society. For a long time, they will reject the other party's people from joining their core circle.
This is what the weak and vulnerable forces are most worried about.
However, this problem does not exist in the Dragon Star Empire.
Firstly, the establishment of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire relied on many interstellar races. The Xiaolong Emperor was a human, the Supreme Marshal was an orc, and the Supreme Secretary was a rare succubus.
Among the many marshals, there were also those from various interstellar races.
The existence of diversity naturally represents the inclusiveness of the Dragon Star Empire.
Most importantly, the rise of the Dragon Star Empire was sudden, rapid, and completely unprepared.
Its foundation is the Xiaolong Galaxy. In just ten years, it is impossible to accumulate a sufficient talent pool. Therefore, it is inevitable to absorb external talents for its own use.
From the perspective of those interstellar civilizations...
Their people can enter the core circle of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire. Even if they are not in the core circle, but only in the middle or outer circle, it is still a way to project their clan power into the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
Wouldn't it be more convenient to do things in the future?
There's an old saying that goes: "Having someone in the court makes things easier."
That's why all the various factions were willing to release people when the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire openly poached them.
Most importantly, the Falcon Star Empire has a rule of only recruiting female soldiers in its direct Falcon Legion fleet.
When recruiting for other positions, we only look at ability and talent, and never at birth.
Even if you are the son of a powerful family, as long as you have enough strength, you can stand at the top of the pyramid of the Dragon Emperor Interstellar Empire.
In this way, more talented people will naturally be willing to rely on the towering tree of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire and contribute their remaining energy.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Angel Fenni joined the Wyvern Interstellar Empire at that time, serving as the head of the bank established by the Wyvern Interstellar Empire's central bank in the Angel Clan branch.
Before long, he rose from the lowest-level employee to the branch manager in charge of the Angel Clan region!
After that, he was recruited into the core institution of the Central Bank of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire and rose through the ranks.
In less than three years, he became the vice president of the Central Bank of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire.
At that time, the position of bank president was concurrently held by Lilith's secretary and Minister Li Yaqi.
The main reason was that this position was special at the time, but there were no suitable personnel to arrange for it, so two people had to hold it at the same time. However, most of the time the work was handed over to several deputy presidents of the head office.
This is also a form of testing.
After a period of testing.
Angel Fenni stood out through her own abilities.
With the recommendation of Secretary Lilith and Minister Li Yaqi, he became the first true president of the Central Bank of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire.
When this news was announced, many people were surprised.
Although the Central Bank of the Dragon Empire is not of a high rank within the Dragon Empire's system, it is even lower than the Ministry of Commerce.
However, this can be considered a core department.
It's quite unexpected that an angel would be in this position.
Afterwards, the Angel race also made some arrangements.
The first thing was to bestow upon a two-winged angel the title of Honorary Angel Guardian.
It's important to know that before this, only ten-winged angels were qualified to serve as angel guards!
This was tacitly acknowledging Angel Fenni's status among the angels, and then proceeded to continuously bestow titles and honors upon Angel Fenni's relatives.
The intention behind this is obvious to everyone.
Let's leave those aside for now.
Let's return to the meeting at hand.
"Let's get straight to the point."
His Majesty has already signed a decree approving the establishment of four interstellar investment banks.
From now on, all departments will begin operating according to the original plan.
These four interstellar investment banks are subsidiaries of the Central Bank of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire. The first batch of personnel were all drawn from the Central Bank.
I now formally appoint all the members.
Jiang Cheng, you will serve as the President of Xiaolong Agricultural Interstellar Investment Bank; Yi Dawei, you will serve as the President of Xiaolong Industrial Interstellar Investment Bank; Daibula, you will serve as the President of Xiaolong Construction Interstellar Investment Bank; and Conrad, you will serve as the President of Xiaolong Financial Interstellar Investment Bank.
This is the first batch of personnel list for your four companies. If you have any questions, please tell me now.
You will need to recruit the remaining staff yourselves, but you have the authority to directly recruit and appoint mid- to low-level personnel.
You can draft a list of middle and senior management personnel and submit it to me or your head of the bank for approval. In special circumstances, you can make temporary appointments in advance.
These are extraordinary times, so everything can be done using extraordinary means.
remember.
I only look at the results.
If things don't go well for you then.
Not only will I remove you from your posts, but you won't even have the chance to return to the Central Navigation.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
You are now warriors who are expanding the empire's territory; victory is the only option, defeat is not an option!
As Minister Li Yaqi spoke, she glanced at President Angel Fenni beside her.
Angel Fenni, the head of the bank, presented the four people with four lists of personnel and related documents.
The identities of these four people are actually quite obvious; they were all candidates who competed with Angel Fenni for the position of bank president.
Although they did not become the head of the bank, their talents and abilities are remarkable.
Therefore, they became the vanguard of this four interstellar investment banks.
Four documents were placed in front of the four people.
The four people were preparing to open it.
Minister Li Yaqi suddenly stopped them. She slammed her hand on the table and said with a serious expression, "Let me make this clear first."
It's not too late for you to regret it now; I can choose someone else.
But once you open these documents, it's like you've made a solemn pledge to me.
Each of your interstellar investment banks must establish a fully operational organizational structure within one week, and within half a month, establish a cosmic construction office in one of the top ten known interstellar civilizations.
The first phase of the 30% investment target must be completed within one month.
The first phase of investment, which accounts for 70% of the total investment, must be completed within three months.
Furthermore, offices must be established in all known cosmic civilizations, and important star systems and galaxies must also establish offices.
At the same time, the rate of return and success rate of these signed investment contracts must meet the above requirements.
Anyone who drops the ball.
Pack your bags and leave.
This is considered mild.
If anyone causes property damage to the Empire, you will have to consider the consequences yourselves.
So, it's not too late for you to regret it now.
Before Minister Li Yaqi could finish speaking, two people had already opened the documents.
The remaining two smiled slightly.
"Minister, you really underestimate us."
"If we were that timid, we wouldn't have come to the central bank headquarters to compete with Governor Fenni."
"Although we lost the competition with President Fenni, I still admire her professional abilities."
But I'm still confident; I'm no worse than her!
Hearing the answers from these four people.
A slight smile involuntarily appeared on the lips of Angel Fenni, the head of the bank.
Although the five of them were competitors before, they were also the closest of friends because they were all deeply involved in the same field, so they naturally had a lot in common.
There will be discussions and arguments.
But everyone respects each other's abilities.
When Fenni was appointed as the president of the head office, the other four people sent their congratulations as soon as they learned the news.
Although in private, a few people might not be able to resist saying a few sarcastic remarks to each other.
However, everyone is conscientious and responsible in their work, and there is no negligence whatsoever.
The list of candidates for the positions of president of these four interstellar investment banks was actually compiled after Minister Li Yaqi and Secretary Lilith had consulted her.
Even the final decision-making power rests with her.
She chose these four old friends almost without hesitation.
