2061 Economic Growth
Quill and the others had video footage of the people who had attacked the Guardians.
After a few days of reconnaissance, Luke wiped out the stronger groups first and plundered their spaceships and assets.
Any other group who dared to come and steal his gains were swallowed up as well.
After that, the groups that had yet to leave after their strength was greatly reduced were vaporized one after another, and all their assets were snatched up.
Thanks to this diligent and enthusiastic work attitude, the supplies and cash in Luke’s inventory increased at a visible rate.
After confirming his ownership of these spoils of war, Luke impersonated a small foreign mercenary team that hadn’t been around for long.
He used the name of this mercenary team to ‘buy’ a service factory which he had already swallowed up.
In fact, both parties involved in this transaction were members of the Bat Squad. They just specially chose a busy place in which to complete the transaction.
As for where the aliens who sold the factory went, that wasn’t something the buyers worried about.
There were no such regulations on this lawless planet, much less any police officers here to get to the bottom of things.
After obtaining identities and a base on the surface, many people in the Bat Squad were as happy as if it were a holiday.
Ivan immediately wanted to stay on the alien planet, and was willing to get a lower annual pay for it — not earning a salary at all was impossible. He was forever lacking credit points.
After some discussion, the Ursa Minor members unanimously agreed that this Russian uncle actually wanted to go to another planet to run from his debts.
The four little turtles expressed that they were willing to be stationed on the planet for a few months every year, and would chase Uncle Ivan to pay his debts in passing.
Luke, however, knew that the little turtles were probably more interested in being able to go out and about as they pleased.
The planet was full of strange and colorful aliens, and a few green turtles wouldn’t be out of place.
Including the service factory, where they could tinker with all sorts of new equipment and spaceships, this place was simply heaven.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Splinter, the little turtles’ teacher, found it difficult to leave his homeland, they would spend most of their time on this alien planet.
…
After the factory opened for business, with the aim of learning and experimenting with tech, Luke didn’t set a high profit margin.
But Ivan and the little turtles were very diligent.
If they weren’t diligent, they wouldn’t be able to produce results quickly. If they didn’t produce results, that would be wasting time.
On the contrary, Luke didn’t care as much about the money and tech.
There were just too many ignorant aliens here!
Those who wanted to renege on their debts would have to pay double the fee, those who wanted to rob him were directly robbed in return, and those who wanted to kill him were killed and disappeared without a trace.
In less than a year, 162 such incidents happened around what had been renamed the “Justice Service Factory.”
80% of these incidents happened in the first half of the year, and 60% of them in the first three months.
In the first three months, people were beaten up or killed at the service factory every day.
Some of the troublemakers were local forces. When they learned that the mercenaries whom Luke and the others were pretending to be were weak, they wanted to take advantage of the situation and seize territory.
Some targeted the factory because the service was too good and the prices were so cheap — this wasn’t a joke.
It was the nature of many bandits and mercenaries to push their luck.
Unfortunately, Luke was an old pro at putting out bait.
What was more perfect than getting the targets to deliver themselves to his door?
Modifying and repairing spaceships and various equipment didn’t make him any money for the time being, and was just extra income on top of his ‘fishing,’ which gave the appearance that the factory was just getting by.
The ordinary parts and secondhand spaceships he looted could be dismantled and used as raw materials; the service factory basically didn’t have to spend money to buy parts.
Luke sold the secondhand spaceship parts he had looted at what could be considered the market price.
Of course, he kept the rare and important parts for his own use.
The service factory wasn’t a shipyard for making battleships; it was normal to only provide ordinary components for sale.
Most of the revenue from ‘reselling’ secondhand parts went into buying even more parts, while a small portion was used to maintain the team members’ living standards on the planet.
In less than a year, the Justice Service Factory became quite famous on the planet.
If anyone who wasn’t an idiot or a lazy pig asked around a bit, they would learn what made Justice Service Factory special — the prices were cheap, the skills were so-so, tempers ran high, and the people there were super good at fighting.
In the next six months, the number of troublemakers dropped sharply, and Luke’s ‘fishing’ income dropped significantly.
As for the number one mechanic, Ivan, and the mechanics he hired, they became more proficient, and the service factory became famous.
The Justice Service Factory didn’t cut corners when it came to modifications and maintenance, and they didn’t give discounts, which ensured quality.
By now, Luke had recouped 70% of his initial expenses through this main business, and it was still booming.
Hence, a lot of people in the same industry were unhappy with the Justice Service Factory. Everybody is getting rich by doing crooked things, but you don’t. Are you not giving us face?
The black-hearted service factory which Luke and Rocket had planned to loot at the very beginning joined forces with several other factories to hire a large mercenary group to swallow up Justice Service Factory’s booming business.
The outcome was clear.
Another 300 people went missing on the lawless planet.
The Justice Service Factory, on the other hand, opened a new branch and obtained a large number of secondhand spaceships and parts; they wouldn’t need to buy new parts for a few months.
Luke was a little embarrassed by how ‘friendly’ the people were on this planet.
He had beaten up the Chitauri fleet and the second prince of Asgard, and had paid his last respects to Grade A bosses like the Dark Elves and Thanos.
To take Thanos as an example, Ronan the Accuser, of the Kree Empire, was like a little brother in front of Thanos.
The Nova Empire, on the other hand, had been turned into a little brother by Ronan. It was only when Quill pulled a song and dance on Ronan and killed him that the Nova Empire was spared.
An insignificant lawless planet was even smaller in front of the Nova Empire.
Taking care of a few small groups on a lawless planet with a group of seasoned superheroes was like smashing walnuts with a hydraulic press.
The Justice Service Factory’s show of deliberate strength was for the benefit of the actual party in control of this planet.
The effect was obvious.
Those other businesses banded together to hire an external force to help them, but they were still suppressed by the kids team and taken down in return.
The next day, the leader of the Ravagers who controlled this planet sent their sympathies to the Justice Service Factory.
Both parties swiftly agreed to a meeting, and Luke had afternoon tea with the leader of the Ravagers.
During the meeting, Luke, as the representative of the service factory, proposed a development route which boiled down to: “Be prepared to face the consequences if you want to cause us trouble.”
The leader of the Ravagers smiled and warmly welcomed the service factory’s contribution to economic growth on the planet.
After turning around, Luke sneered at this cowardly old fox.
The leader of the Ravagers, on the other hand, devoutly wished for the Level 2 clone to become completely crippled.
The leader was very unhappy with Luke’s blatant threat, but he had no intention of turning hostile.
The service factory had made it clear that it only did proper business; it didn’t expand its combat troops or interfere with control of the planet.
The leader wasn’t brainless; in a situation where no conflict of interest existed, there was no way he would start a war.
