Online, "Fang Zhao Like" was a hot topic. Silver Wing's operations team was in charge, and some businesses were taking advantage of the opportunity to profit. There was also the government's support and promotion. Many brands were envious and wanted to collaborate with Fang Zhao, but they could not get hold of him.
Now that planet Baiji had regained communications, it was under martial law. Contacting Fang Zhao had become even more difficult. No one knew what was brewing. There were rumors that 12 continents had dispatched fleets and were about to establish a military district, but the government had not released any official information, so everything was just speculation.
However, for the general public, whether it was a large military district or a military transfer, they did not really care because it was too far away from their lives. So what if planet Baiji established a large military district? It would not raise their salaries or reduce taxes. Everyday life was still the same. Compared to that, they preferred watching interesting entertainment gossip. As for planet Baiji, they only paid attention to Fang Zhao.
Fang Zhao's recent popularity on the internet was clear to anyone who went online. Because of this, Shanta sought out Fang Zhao again.
"After some time, there will be an online public auction. We are cooperating with the Inter-planetary Fund. When the time comes, we will bring out a few items to auction. You can also contribute an item. I heard that whatever you celebrities bring out will be very popular. You don't have to put in too much effort. Anything from clothing to daily necessities will do."
Although planet Baiji was under martial law, Shanta still had special privileges as Baiji's highest commander. He also went online and knew how popular "Fang Zhao Like" was.
Shanta told Fang Zhao that the money from this type of auction would be used for planet Baiji's construction, so there was no need to auction off anything valuable. Just a token would do.
"Don't worry. Even if you bring out a piece of paper, it will not be sold for a low price."
Shanta did not explain too much, but Fang Zhao could guess some of the reasons.
Currently, planet Baiji was ranked fifth on the development sequence and was considered one of the more important planets.
Did it lack investors?
Not at all.
Did it lack money?
It was not at all.
As for the auction that Shanta had mentioned, to put it bluntly, it was actually an opportunity for companies or investors who had not been able to squeeze into planet Baiji's construction team. It was a channel for them to buy a place. Furthermore, planet Baiji had provided it, so it was highly credible.
For those who did not have the connections, status, or ability to squeeze into planet Baiji's investment team, this was an exceptional opportunity. Perhaps it was also the only opportunity they would have in the short term.
Shanta had agreed to such a method to attract more teams. Perhaps it was to balance out the "foreign powers," or to earn more money, or perhaps there were some other reasons. However, Shanta would not say these things explicitly, and Fang Zhao would not ask.
Shanta had sought out Fang Zhao to boost their popularity and let the general public pay more attention to them and understand planet Baiji's developments. He couldn't give up on the grassroots route either.
Although Shanta had said that Fang Zhao could just casually take out an item, Fang Zhao would not really do so. He did not pay much attention to the news on the Internet, but he knew from Kevin Lin that he was now in the eye of the storm. If he casually took out something, it would seem like he was not sincere and would be easily criticized. There was still some time before the auction, so he still had time to prepare.
Not long after, troops from the various continents' military districts arrived one after another. On Yanzhou's side, Hong Lou had also led people to planet Baiji.
If not for the fact that planet Baiji had been constantly expanding during this period, with so many people arriving at once, the place would not have been able to accommodate them.
Hong Lou was currently only 70 years old, considered the prime of his life in the New Era. He was already a major general and held real power in his hands. His future prospects were not small.
When Fang Zhao saw Hong Lou, Hong Lou looked a little tired, probably because he had been busy, but he was in a good mood.
The moment he saw Fang Zhao, a smile appeared on Hong Lou's resolute face, and the imposing air of someone in a superior position faded considerably.
"Haha, Fang Zhao, I really have to thank you this time. However, there have been too many matters recently. When this period is over, let's have a good chat. Are you currently serving at Outpost 23? "As he spoke, Hong Lou pointed to the other three people in the room." Let the three of them follow you for the time being. "
Fang Zhao looked over and saw three people standing silently at the side. Looking at their epaulets, there was a major and two captains. Probably because Hong Lou had exhorted them, no matter what they were thinking, they did not show it on their faces. One of them even grinned when Fang Zhao looked over.
"What are they doing?" Fang Zhao looked at Hong Lou suspiciously.
"I'm old... your Director Duan feels that it is not safe enough for you here. In the future, there will be more and more people on planet Baiji. The personnel will be complicated, and there is no telling what might happen. Your identity is special, so it is better to have a few more people to protect you. Don't worry, I have already told them not to show their faces during the live broadcast. No one will know, "Hong Lou said.
To put it bluntly, he meant that they would be sent to Fang Zhao's side to protect him.
Fang Zhao wanted to say that it was not necessary, but seeing Hong Lou's manner, it seemed like it had been arranged beforehand and had been discussed with Duan Qianji before this decision was made. Fang Zhao was silent for a while, but he did not refuse.
Hong Lou had a lot of things to do. Every day, he had to be summoned by Shanta to discuss important matters, so he did not say much to Fang Zhao. He just told Fang Zhao to look for him if there was any trouble, then he hurried over to the base's conference room.
Fang Zhao brought along the three newly appointed bodyguards and headed for Outpost 23.
Seven days after the 12 military districts arrived on planet Baiji, the alliance announced the establishment of planet Baiji's military district, which was also the fourth foreign military district.
Planet Baiji was ranked fifth on the development sequence. Of the four planets before it, three had established their own military districts, which were what everyone called the three foreign military districts. But from now on, the three had become four. At the same time, planet Baiji was officially included in the immigration plan and became the third planet to focus on development.
Large military district and focus on development — these two labels proclaimed planet Baiji's glorious future.
Since the establishment of planet Baiji's military district, many people on planet Baiji base would have to change their military positions and ranks. Shanta would also be promoted from lieutenant general to general. He would still be the military district's highest military commander.
The establishment of a large military district, and a lieutenant general becoming a general, was another double blessing. Shanta could be said to be flushed with success. Whenever he was pleased, he could not help but reminisce about his past grievances. Whenever he reminisced, he could not help but contact all his old acquaintances. Regardless of whether they were on good terms or bad terms, he contacted them all.
Connecting to Arcturus' captain Luo Sha.
"Old Luo, what are you busy with recently? Come to our planet Baiji when you have time!"
Arcturus' captain Luo Sha was expressionless as he replied icily, "Scram! Not free! "
Connecting to Fomalhaut's exploration ship captain Ma Jika.
"Old Ma Ji, when will you come over to our planet Baiji's military district? Let's all get to know each other better..."
Ma Jika's temper was not as straightforward as Luo Sha's. After hearing Shanta's words, he paused for a bit and smiled. "Sure, but we have to discuss something first. Bring over Fang Zhao's military service file..."
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Shanta had already disconnected the call. "Scram!"
After disconnecting the call, Shanta recalled Fang Zhao's military service application from back then. He found it funny and at the same time rejoiced. If either one of these two had accepted Fang Zhao's application back then, planet Baiji would not be where it was today.
