Chapter 137 The Interstellar Tycoon Who Lets Go, Zhou Huaichen
Zhou Huaichen straightened his back and smiled cunningly, "Of course I won't let you be philanthropists, even though your activities are restricted. But now that you own the number one merchant in the galaxy, how could I let you do business at a loss for nothing?"
Aaron was a bit bewildered, but Meng Chen wasn't at a loss at the moment. She was overjoyed to know that these people would be returning to the pirates' lair with them. Her spirit beast problem should be solved soon, right?
Ren Qizhi walked over to Zhou Huaichen, sat down, and helped Aaron solve his doubts.
"My husband can help you find other ways to make money. Even if your activities are restricted, it won't affect your ability to continue saving for your family."
Aaron's eyes lit up and he stared at Zhou Huaichen, "Mr. Zhou, are you willing to help us?"
Zhou Huaichen narrowed his eyes and smiled. "No, we are mutually beneficial and help each other."
Qi Zhongyuan said nothing more. Aaron was quite right. The pirates had indeed killed over a hundred people on the starship and blew it up. Although they were not from the same group, they all bore the same label: "pirates."
Then Aaron and the other pirates would not be able to escape unscathed. Moreover, given the current situation, they really couldn't return to Blue Star with peace of mind.
Qi Zhongyuan and Zhou Huaichen both have families and children on Blue Star.
If they went back, the next time the person behind the scenes took action, would their families and children be implicated? What Zhou Huaichen said was indeed appropriate. They might as well take the opportunity to fake their own death and find another way out.
More than a hundred people successfully escaped from the starship.
Zhou Huaichen relied on his negotiation skills and eloquence to convince everyone not to return to Blue Star for the time being. After all, they were witnesses to the entire tragedy. Furthermore, they had managed to survive such a bloody massacre. If they returned without investigating the truth, the families of the victims would likely vent their anger on the survivors.
Zhou Huaichen solemnly promised that if they did not return to Blue Star and followed him, their lives would be better than when they were on Blue Star. Working for him was an opportunity that could not be found.
So, some people were really tempted. They thought, as the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Could this be their good fortune in the future?
Zhou Huaichen added fuel to the fire. He promised that if he could find out the truth one day and return to Blue Star safely, he would definitely change the lives of everyone present today. Now, for the sake of their own lives, they had to be cautious.
With the help of bribes and risks, Zhou Huaichen succeeded in keeping everyone. Follow him and go to the pirate den to fight for a new career.
Among these one hundred people, there are people from all walks of life. Zhou Huaichen is doing very well in the pirates' nest, and these one hundred people have made an indelible contribution.
More than a hundred of them, divided into several groups, entered the pirates' nest that had fallen into a period of silence. Soon, Zhou Huaichen put on a mask and happily developed a new business in the pirates' nest.
The new business was freer than Zhou's. For the first time, Zhou Huaichen experienced the difference between space pirates and ordinary people.
Ordinary people must abide by social rules and be bound by the law. But space pirates are different. Their business is more extensive. Apart from murder and arson, there is almost nothing they don't want to do.
This is why Zhou Huaichen was able to quickly accumulate his first pot of gold in the pirates' nest. Zhou Huaichen let himself go in the pirates' nest.
Complete freedom, complete money-making.
Compared to Zhou Huaichen who was like a fish in water, Qi Zhongyuan was more cautious.
The pirates in this den are not ordinary people. Apart from Meng Chen's bizarre reasons, the reasons for choosing to become pirates are all kinds of strange.
In such an environment, Qi Zhongyuan had a hard time adapting. After all, he had received the traditional Qi family education, and was taught the Qi family's model of righteousness and benevolence. Suddenly, he changed. Standing among the pirates, he was like a straight pine tree, instantly recognizable as not a pirate.
As time went on, the pirates began to look at Qi Zhongyuan with strange eyes. Some of them began to appear frequently near Qi Zhongyuan and his wife's house, doing nothing but monitoring and observing.
After Aaron found out, he captured three people in total. After some interrogation, he found out that someone had hired them and wanted to ask if there were any special people or things happening in the pirates' nest recently.
Aaron became alert and said nothing to the three people. He just told his men to lock them up first, confiscate their communicators, and not allow anyone to approach the three people.
Aaron went directly to Zhou Huaichen and Qi Zhongyuan. He was used to discussing some things. These two people had their own strengths, and the opinions they gave Aaron were usually more comprehensive and reliable than Aaron's own decisions.
After Aaron left Zhou Huaichen's house, he questioned the three hired men again. After learning that they were hired by the Blue Star Federation, Aaron destroyed the three men's communicators and sent them to the most terrifying place in the pirates' den.
This place was circled by Zhou Huaichen. In the pirate nest, anyone who violated the pirates' internal treaty would be sent here to volunteer for Zhou Huaichen and Aaron.
Yes. Volunteer.
There are also many mining planets in the starry sea. Aaron and Zhou Huaichen chose the most desolate mining planet and sent the pirates who had made mistakes to be rehabilitated. They would be given different volunteer hours based on the severity of their mistakes. Volunteer work simply requires you to contribute labor to the assets of the pirate nest.
The truly terrifying thing was that on the desolate mining planet, they worked by day and underwent retraining at night. Zhou Huaichen had obtained a complete set of Star Network textbooks and had the pirates who had made mistakes study them at night. There were a variety of subjects, and they could choose any one of them. If they passed the exam, Zhou Huaichen and Aaron would bring them back from the desolate mining planet to the pirate den early. Once they were officially hired, they would be directly recruited by Zhou Huaichen to help him make money.
Logically, there's nothing to be afraid of. However, the pirates are used to freedom, and few can withstand such standardized management and re-education...
Aaron brought the three of them to the small square of the pirates' lair.
Aaron's reason for telling everyone was quite reasonable. Since the starship attack, the pirates had been in a period of calm, but these few had accepted a commission from the Blue Star Federation to investigate what was happening inside the pirate den.
Everyone knew that the starship in question was a passenger ship of the Blue Star Federation, and that it had been hired by the Blue Star Federation to investigate their pirate den.
To put it seriously, this matter is likely to bring a devastating disaster to the pirates.
To put it simply, it is extremely selfish and too stupid.
Aaron's solution to the three people was to make them volunteer on the desolate mining planet for a whole year.
The pirates had no objections. It was only a year, and as long as three lives were lost, it wasn't a big deal. Some pirates even secretly threw small rocks at the three men.
Aaron patted the three men on the head and said, "You dare to make any money? Is the pirate den short of money now? You dare to work for the Blue Star Federation for such a small amount of money? Do you look down on our pirate den? Brains are a good thing. Go to the mining planet and work hard. There will be a way for you to survive when you come back."
The three were sent away. Aaron also took the opportunity to remind the pirates in the star pirate nest that they should stay in their nest during the quiet period. The star pirate nest is now managed by Zhou Huaichen, so there is no shortage of money. If they want to make money, they can go to Zhou Huaichen. Is it worth it to commit crimes now?
Zhou Huaichen has already gained fame among the pirates, being called the pirate 'Tycoon'...
Zhou Huaichen actually liked this title. He was a rather eccentric person, and didn't really care about these morsels. Besides, he wasn't some star pirate tycoon; he was clearly an interstellar tycoon.
