Global Deities: My SSS-Rank Talent Lets Me Evolve Everything

Chapter 490: Treating Wealth as the Ultimate Goal

Speaking of this, excitement appeared on Ma Yu’s face once again.

“I never expected our luck to be this good.”

“Yang Corporation actually received a direct invitation to join the Battlefront Star Sector Chamber of Commerce, and the entire review process was practically given the green light all the way!”

“Master, with this Resource channel, the circulation efficiency of the company’s goods will be greatly improved in the future.”

“It’s not just about selling goods; for example, the last time Master asked me to procure a large amount of disposable wartime supplies.”

“If we had the chamber of commerce channel back then, we might have been able to complete the procurement in just a few days.”

“And the price might have even been lower!”

Ma Yu became more and more excited as he spoke.

That expression was simply like winning the jackpot.

However, upon hearing this, Yang Fan did not show much excitement and instead directly seized upon one of the key issues.

“Top 500 in the Starfield? Has Yang Corporation met the standard?”

Hearing this, Ma Yu was stunned, then hurriedly shook his head.

“No, Yang Corporation currently chooses not to go public, so it can only be evaluated based on the scale of its net assets.”

“From the perspective of the Real World, Yang Corporation’s ranking in the entire Battlefront Star Sector is probably still thousands of places away.”

Speaking of this, the smile on Ma Yu’s face gradually disappeared, and he calmed down entirely.

Right!

Yang Corporation didn’t even have the basic qualifications to apply to join the chamber of commerce, so why would the other party take the initiative to invite them?

This simply didn’t make sense.

“Ma… Master.”

Ma Yu quickly reacted.

“This matter was probably initiated by one of the matriarchs.”

“It’s just that this subordinate hasn’t received any news yet.”

Failing to meet the requirements, yet being able to receive an active invitation from the Starfield Chamber of Commerce.

Then the only possibility was that a big figure had spoken up behind the scenes for Yang Corporation.

Being able to influence the decision of a Starfield Chamber of Commerce.

Such a figure must at least be a core member of the Five Great Families, and their status and position were definitely not low.

As a result, the answer was already on the verge of coming out.

It was just that whether it was the matriarch of the Lu Clan or the matriarch of the Gu Family…

Ma Yu couldn’t guess.

“It’s fine.”

Yang Fan waved his hand and didn’t care.

“Since Yang Corporation already has this channel, you should use this opportunity to develop well.”

Unlike Ma Yu, Yang Fan had already guessed the person behind the scenes.

High-Order Gods like Lu Yanran and Gu Xuanting naturally wouldn’t personally bother with these minor matters.

Among Gu Le and Lu Wan, only Lu Wan, a girl somewhat infatuated in relationships, would probably silently arrange these matters for him.

As for how many Divinity Points Yang Corporation could actually earn, Yang Fan didn’t actually care.

After all, his current Divine Kingdom’s income was far from comparable to a newly started group company.

However…

The feeling of being quietly kept in someone’s heart and having one’s path paved in secret by them made Yang Fan feel quite nice.

“Aren’t the women cultivated by these Clan all extremely shrewd?”

“How did it happen that someone like Wan’er turned out to be so lovesick?”

Thinking of this, the corners of Yang Fan’s mouth couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a smile.

“Master, Yang Corporation is now well-funded and has a stable sales channel through the chamber of commerce.”

“Do you think we should use the group’s funds to continue procuring more Earth Core Spirit Milk from the frontline?”

Ma Yu continued.

“According to what the chamber of commerce staff disclosed, their demand for these Resources is extremely large.”

“Even if we just act as a middleman to earn a 5% profit, this is still a sure-fire business.”

Ma Yu was not stupid; he guessed that Yang Fan must have channels behind him that could continuously supply top-tier Resources such as Earth Core Spirit Milk and Enlightenment Tea.

At this moment, he even began to consider whether to make this kind of channel business the main business of Yang Corporation.

If it were placed in the past, he would never have made such a suggestion.

After all, if all these Resources were piled up in Yang Corporation’s warehouse without circulation value, they would instead occupy a large amount of funds.

But now the situation was completely different; with the chamber of commerce’s channel, Resource turnover was extremely fast.

A Resource transaction of 100 trillion Divinity Points earning only a 5% price difference would still be a profit of 5 trillion Divinity Points.

This money-making speed was much easier than his previous operation of the lending business.

More importantly, the other party was a large-scale chamber of commerce in the entire Battlefront Star Sector, so there was no need to worry about delayed payments or failure to sell.

“Ma Yu.”

Yang Fan suddenly turned his head, his gaze staring straight at the other party.

“What do you think is the most important purpose of establishing a group company in the Real World?”

Hearing this question, Ma Yu had almost no hesitation: “Making money!”

As soon as the words fell, the corners of Yang Fan’s mouth twitched slightly.

“Cough cough…”

“Ma Yu, your ideological awareness still has a lot of room for improvement.”

“Ah?” Ma Yu was stunned, completely failing to understand where he had said something wrong.

Establishing a company in the Real World, purchasing shares, and even going public for financing—wasn’t it all to earn Divinity Points?

Even in a sense, the vast majority of commercial activities in the entire Human Federation were essentially to earn Resources and then feed back into the development of the Divine Kingdom. This was almost the path chosen by all powerful gods.

Such as the top consortium of the Human Federation known for capital—the Lu Corporation.

They held shares in a large number of large enterprises, but the vast majority were mainly equity investments, and they did not directly participate in enterprise management.

The core purpose was to enjoy long-term dividends.

Looking at Ma Yu’s puzzled expression, Yang Fan said with a calm expression.

“Making money is, of course, one of the purposes.”

“But if making money is treated as the sole purpose, then that would be falling to a lower tier.”

“Please enlighten me, Master.” Ma Yu said hurriedly.

Yang Fan slowly stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking at the bustling Xiling Planet in the distance, he said with an inscrutable look.

“Within the scope allowed by federal laws, purchasing living planets, acquiring shares of listed companies, and building one’s own business Empire.”

“These things can, of course, make money.”

“Relying on the compound interest effect to continuously expand the scale of assets, and then using funds to continue investing.”

“Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years—as long as the direction is correct, a company can completely move from weakness to strength.”

“But you must understand. Money itself is not the purpose.”

“Money is just a tool; what is truly important is what money represents behind it.”

Yang Fan turned around, his gaze deep.

“Influence, right to speak, and Resource mobilization capability.”

“These are the things a true expert should pursue.”

“You must remember, money is merely an appendage of power.”

“Possessing wealth does not mean possessing everything.”

“However, with sufficient power, wealth will naturally converge toward you.”

Ma Yu’s expression gradually turned serious.

Yang Fan continued:

“Although I haven’t broken through to become a god for long, I have also read quite a bit of Human race history in the Primordial City Library.”

“Countless gods in the past were once addicted to the returns brought by compound interest.”

“They poured all their Divinity Points into Divine Kingdom investments, or frantically purchased Real World assets.”

“In order to accumulate wealth, they even continuously compressed the cultivation of their own believers.”

“In the short term, they indeed obtained astonishing returns.”

“After ten thousand years, after a hundred thousand years, they accumulated massive wealth.”

“Yet once one day, the Divine Kingdom’s coordinates are exposed and enemies descend.”

“The wealth that those gods painstakingly accumulated for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ultimately becomes nothing more than wedding garments for others.”

“There is nothing wrong with wealth.”

“What is wrong is treating wealth as the ultimate goal.”
