By the end of the day, however, the rest of the public seemed impressed with the Xi’An way of doing business. “They stayed focused on the systems I was having a problem with, not trying to up-sell me on new scrubbers or air fresheners or that sort of crap.” Alana Hitoshi reported, who stopped mid-way through a haul to Terra to have CTR techs look at her maneuvering thrusters. “It was strangely refreshing.” Maybe the Xi’An aren’t that disconnected from what Humans really want in a shopping experience after all. END FEED XI'AN STORE ERÖFFNET IN UEE von Max Griggs Personalverfasser Als eine neue Saison des Murray Cup-Rennsports beginnt, sind die Augen aus dem ganzen Reich auf das Ellis-System gerichtet. Diesmal jedoch aus einem ganz anderen Grund. Am 2944-02-09 kamen Vertreter der Jysho Corporation in die Stadt Aydo auf Green/Ellis, um die CTR zu eröffnen, und zwar zum ersten Mal, wenn eine vollständige Xi'An Corporation ein Geschäft auf einem menschlichen Planeten eröffnet hat. Während dies nicht das erste Mal ist, dass die Xi'An versuchen, den potenziell lukrativen menschlichen Marktplatz zu knacken, haben sich frühere Unternehmen entweder mit menschlichen Unternehmen verbündet oder es einfach unterlassen, sich mit der fremden (für sie) Zivilisation zu verbinden. Letzteres wurde vor allem durch die Handelslinie Terrestrial Marketplace von 2931 veranschaulicht, die es nur bis zu Fokusgruppen schaffte, die damals integraler Bestandteil der Erlangung einer Gewerbeberechtigung durch den Senat waren. Das Unternehmen versuchte, was man nur als logikbasierte Werbung bezeichnen konnte. Ersteres findet man natürlich vor allem mit dem Musashi Industrial & Starflight Concern (MISC). Die vor über fünfzig Jahren gegründete CTR genoss einen stetigen Aufstieg innerhalb des Xi'An-Reiches, indem sie Treibstoff und Reparaturdienstleistungen zu erschwinglichen Preisen anbot, und wurde schließlich zu einem der vertrauenswürdigsten Anbieter für die Xi'An-Zivilbevölkerung. Die Tatsache, dass die CTR auch Reparaturdienstleistungen für menschliche Schiffe anbot, machte sie zur Anlaufstelle auf Reisen durch die Gebiete von Xi'An. "Ich finde es toll", sagte Orwell Kindsey, 46, von Ferron. "Ab und zu werde ich einen Hol fangen, der mich nach Rihlah bringt. Dieses eine Mal hat sich meine Fabrik mitten im Nirgendwo aufgelöst. [CTR] schickte ein Reparaturschiff raus und kümmerte sich um mich. Ich wäre schockiert, wenn eine Reparaturwerkstatt das hier herumziehen würde. Ich würde wahrscheinlich denken, dass sie versuchen, mich auszurauben." Zahlreiche Leute kamen zur großen Eröffnung. Einige waren begierig darauf, die Services auszuprobieren, während andere einfach neugierig darauf waren, wie ein Xi'An-Unternehmen aussieht. Nicht alle waren so begeistert. "Dies ist nur ein weiteres Beispiel dafür, wie die Regierung ihre Taschen füllt, während durchschnittliche Arbeiter erstarrt werden", sagte Ashley Bin of Ellis, Teil einer kleinen Gruppe von Demonstranten. "Die Xi'An haben dieses Ding ohne jegliche lokale Hilfe gebaut und mit Personal ausgestattet. So, wenn irgendein Senator sagt, dass diese Station nicht anders ist, als wenn eine menschliche Station sich öffnete, ist es nicht ganz wahr. Ja, sie bekommen die Steuern, aber der Rest des Geldes geht über die Grenze zurück. Also verlieren wir nicht nur die Arbeitsplätze, sondern die Kredite werden nicht einmal innerhalb der Gemeinschaft ausgegeben." Einer der anwesenden Vertreter der Jysho Corporation nahm sich einen Moment Zeit, um die Bedenken von Frau Bin anzusprechen. "Es ist eine verständliche und projizierte Überlegung. Um solchen Gefühlen des bedrohten Territorialismus entgegenzuwirken, hat Jysho ein Trainingsprogramm für Human-Mitarbeiter in die gängigen CTR-Praktiken beim Bau einer neuen CTR-Station im Croshaw-System eingeführt." Dieser Trost trug wenig dazu bei, Frau Bin und die anderen Demonstranten zu beruhigen. Am Ende des Tages schien die übrige Öffentlichkeit jedoch von der Art und Weise, wie Xi'An Geschäfte macht, beeindruckt zu sein. "Sie konzentrierten sich auf die Systeme, mit denen ich ein Problem hatte, und versuchten nicht, mich mit neuen Wäschern oder Lufterfrischern oder so zu verkaufen." Alana Hitoshi berichtete, der auf halbem Weg nach Terra anhielt, um CTR-Techniker dazu zu bringen, sich ihre Manövertriebwerke anzusehen. "Es war seltsam erfrischend." Vielleicht sind die Xi'An doch nicht so sehr von dem getrennt, was der Mensch wirklich in einem Einkaufserlebnis will.
