Resurrection Empire

No one can remember the last time the Earl of the Empire publicly apologized to a mere baron with no background.

Looking through the history books, looking at the long history of the mechanical empire, Uncle Chi Feng's move can be said to be rare.

In short, in the eyes of the world, as Uncle Chi Feng Ren Zhong personally put down his dignity and publicly apologized to Han Zhixin, a mere baron, without any scruples, the public opinion that was originally unfavorable to Chi Feng Star was reversed in an instant.

I don’t know whether it is really what the people want or whether there is another force secretly entering the scene to control the comments. For a time, both the public opinion circle within the Nanxiang Star Cluster and the public opinion outside the circle formed by the gathering of people paying attention to this matter in the entire empire emerged. Few people stood up and praised Uncle Chi Feng for his courage and responsibility.

Soon, the young baron Han Zhixin over there also made an unexpected move and explained the cause and effect of this matter clearly.

It turns out that only then did outsiders know that Han Zhixin was only twelve years old when he went to Chifeng Star alone to buy paint. At that time, the Baron Han family was already on the verge of bankruptcy.

It was the administrative staff at Chifeng Star who felt sorry for him and felt pity for him. They simply gave him the first batch of freshly baked finished products at half price, and also extended the payment period.

The Han family's vigorous development in the past few decades has all relied on the unconditional support given to him by Chifengxing.

As for why Chifengxing failed to give an early warning before the paint on Han's caravan failed, Han Zhixin himself also gave an explanation. Due to Nan Xiang Bo's great power and his efforts to suppress and blockade Chi Feng Bo, he imposed more than 8,000 commercial sanctions on Chi Feng Star involving all aspects. Out of the motive of protecting the young Baron, Ju Qingmeng, the ruler of Red Front Star, did not put this order in the Ministry of Commerce's directory and never publicized it. Even though he knew that forcibly supporting a dying baron family was a great advertisement, Chifengxing took the initiative to give up this benefit, just to protect the buyer.

Going further, Chi Fengbo also clearly pointed out in his self-examination announcement that he had noticed this shortcoming a few years ago and immediately began to develop improvements to correct the defects, and just completed the technology in the past two months. Iteration, we are working overtime to reserve goods, and we will proactively contact all buyers for recalls and compensation after thorough planning.

But even Chi Fengbo never expected that the first real buyer of invisible coating would be nearly ten years in advance.

In the end, all these factors came together to cause the tragedy.

Han Zhixin said that after the initial anger, he has now calmed down, fully accepted Ren Zhong's apology, and also took the initiative to self-examine, saying that the whole thing cannot be entirely blamed on Chi Fengbo, and he himself also has a lot of responsibility. .

He even expressed his deep gratitude to Earl Ren Zhong for his public apology, and then changed his tune, admitting that now the Han family was completely bankrupt, with no fiefdom and food, and the title was reduced to a life-long baron. He simply took the remaining millions of tribesmen and people, rented a small transportation team, and planned to set off immediately, crossing the warp space channel, crossing a distance of more than ten light years to join the Red Feng tribe, and only begged to be taken in. Want nothing else.

As for the lawsuit against Chi Fengxing, it was naturally dropped by Han Zhixin himself at the speed of light. There was no out-of-court settlement process, and the compensation from Chifengxing was not yet in place. It seemed that Ren Zhong's apology was really worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Han Zhixin's resolute statement surprised many people.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the Source Star Fleet arrived at the Nanxiang Star Cluster and took root. The Han family is still the first external force that the whole family has surrendered to.

Although the Han family is now in decline, Han Zhixin still has the title of lifelong baron on his head, and he still has the hereditary title of military merit in the past. As long as he holds his ground and cherishes his life, there is always a chance to regain the hereditary title.

In short, in just ten standard imperial hours, the situation has undergone dizzying changes.

Putting aside the incident involving Baron Han Zhixin, the situation in the chief court also took a turn for the worse.

After being instructed by Ren Zhong, Jin Simin immediately presented new evidence. It was the Chifeng Academy of Science that used its strong technical capabilities to update the product in detail after "discovering" the problems with the first version of the invisible paint.

As soon as this thing was laid out, it was immediately finalized.

The service life of invisible coatings has been extended from more than fifty years to five thousand years. It seems to be a quantitative change, but in fact it is a qualitative change. The internal structure of the core macromolecule has undergone fundamental changes, just like graphite and graphite, which are both simple substances of carbon. Like diamonds.

As for the improvement process of the Chifeng Academy of Science, it seems mysterious, but in fact it is not complicated. It just adjusts the food formula of the mutated Star Destroyer Ants to change the properties of their secretions.

As soon as these evidences were presented, the Augustan Academy of Sciences was speechless on the spot.

The public opinion field in Nanxiang Star Cluster is also completely reversed.

As for Liu An himself, it is not that easy to wield power in court and fool the world.

As Ren Zhong said, he saw through the nature of imperial politics.

High-ranking nobles have already begun to personally verify the matter, and explicitly warned Liu An not to cross the line or to shake the majesty of the imperial count at will.

No matter how shallow Chi Feng Bo's foundation is, he is still a genuine earl certified by the royal family.

As the backbone of the imperial aristocracy, the count should naturally have its majesty.

If the matter gets serious, if everyone in the Mechanical Empire sees that a dignified earl is being bullied in this way, it may even shake the structural stability of the empire's power pyramid, causing endless consequences.

Liu An was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat and quickly turned away his magical power.

The Chief Justice and the jury, who had their butts stretched to the sky, immediately transformed into the embodiment of fairness and integrity, and began to treat the witnesses and physical evidence of both parties more rigorously.

Naturally, there was nothing more to say at this time. Gruen Augustus, Viscount Nanjiu, was quickly sentenced to lose. In addition to bearing all the arbitration fees, he also had to publicly apologize to Uncle Chi Feng. That was all. In the end, The judgment actually included a name for damages for reputational damage.

This may not seem like a big deal, but the loss of reputation of the dignified Earl is an astronomical figure that is completely unbearable for the Nanjiu Viscount Augustus clan, which has now run out of ammunition and food.

This is not the end.

Another lawsuit has come.

The plaintiff in this lawsuit is the mysterious financial group that has been supporting the Augustus family, and the defendant is Gruen Augustus himself and his family.

The representative of the other party also went to court and took out the mortgage contract in black and white, clearly stating that Augustus was unable to perform the contract and could not repay the loan within five years. He requested the court to immediately declare Augustus bankrupt and transfer the mortgage. All assets are offset against debts.

Gruen pointed at the other party angrily, and was about to say something to try and struggle, when he saw the chief steward of the consortium, whom he had met once before, turned to Jin Simin and bowed to say hello, and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Jin Simin, chief executive. , I am Chen Guohua, general manager of Chifeng Capital."

Jin Simin was a little stunned at first, but he soon realized it and laughed loudly, "Hello, General Manager Chen. Nice to meet you."

The two of them were singing together. How could Gruen not understand that he had been deceived, but he still couldn't figure it out, "Chen Guohua, you...who are you?"

Hearing this, Chen Guohua turned around, took out an instrument, and used micro-current stimulation to quickly move around his face. The shape of his face changed slightly, but some familiar features were revealed.

Gruen actually recognized him at a glance, pointed at him and asked, "What is your relationship with Chen Yinghua, the former general manager of Yuanxing Commercial Operations?"

"Chen Yinghua is my father." Chen Guohua responded without hesitation: "When Marshal Zheng laid down the foundation of Shattered Star Ring, he had to have someone to help manage the assets, so I took the initiative to ask Lord Earl to leave Chifeng Star and go deep into the stars. First, we contacted the many diplomatic missions of Chifeng Star abroad, and each of them established a small business in trade and finance, and then merged into a large consortium, temporarily named Star Business, and then began to absorb the resources provided by the expeditionary force in the Broken Star Ring that was already recuperating. Many aboriginal capitals hold large sums of money in their hands. Since you, Viscount Nan Jiu, have assets to sell, and we have a large sum of money that needs to be returned to the imperial business system, it is natural for us to take your assets. Of course. , in the end, this breach of contract was your own fault, Nanjiu Viscount Gruen, no one can blame you."

Taking advantage of this fair and solemn court environment and the natural heat brought by this live broadcast of the trial, the capital market trick that Ren Zhong had always left out finally came to fruition.

For a time, many people in the Nanxiang Star Cluster who had been kept from the news suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the activity of space pirates had declined significantly in recent years. It turned out that Ren Zhong had sent an expedition fleet out early to sweep a full circle, leaving Liu An The idle hands thrown outside came to the rescue, and they were integrated into a united and unified force.

Many people in the Nanxiang Star Cluster originally thought that Uncle Chifeng was suffocated by the oppression of Nanxiang Uncle Liu An. Now they know that Uncle Chifeng's methods are probably more terrifying than imagined, and his background is unfathomable.

Seeing that this grand court hearing had become a ridiculous occasion for Chi Fengbo's forces to advertise for themselves, the chief judge quickly compiled all the information and made a final decision.

Augustus declared bankruptcy immediately, right in court.

Immediately afterwards, multiple chain reactions occurred one after another.

Chifeng Capital, which finally lifted the veil on its face and revealed its true identity, also openly moved in, announced that it would take over all the properties and titles of Nanjiu Viscount, and even began to openly solicit investment from the outside.

Gruen Augustus, who was above the court, stared at everyone in the court with his eyes wide open, his lips trembling violently.

He pointed at Jin Simin for a while, pointed at Chen Guohua angrily for a while, and glared at the justice, but he didn't know who to scold.
