The cadres of the group were summoned to arrange various tasks and determine the candidates for the attack before setting off.
The department heads reported on the progress of the work at hand. Some were in good condition, and some suffered serious losses. They exchanged information with each other.
"Overall, the situation is good?"
"It's very good."
"This year's profit growth may be 70%. The official has given us the most favorable tax reduction and subsidy policies and supports us in all aspects."
Some projects have suffered a lot of losses, such as the extraordinary products of the "Ping An" brand, which seem to have the greatest advantage.
On the one hand, the marketing expenses of new brands are too high, and on the other hand, it is a time to lose money to market. In order to keep the price as low as possible, even if there are many subsidies and policy support, the more you sell, the more you will lose.
But overall, it is profitable. This is actually because overseas projects that have fallen into the resources of the "Salvation and Life Value Church", including gold and silver mines, oil, etc., have brought huge net income.
These things are still not recorded in the accounts, and Lu Ping An does not even pay much labor. The local employment cost is too low. It is not that Lu Ping An wants to save that labor, but it gives too many "bonuses" to the chaotic world that has just restored some order.
, a murder in a sense.
Even though the salary was only 30% higher than the local salary, Lu Pingan knew that he would directly commit murder for a worker quota. Fortunately, the other party was not crazy enough to demand a hereditary worker position, otherwise Lu Pingan would not know how to deal with it.
Now, just overseas blood transfusions are enough to support the operation of the entire group.
Lu Ping'an's various trading places and holy places are basically losing money. Operating expenses are definitely at a loss, but the various "services" and living facilities at the trading places can recover a lot of costs.
Judging from Xia Qin's report, the various production factories in the ancient city are also in good condition, and the technology has also completed a new iteration, but they are too biased towards water warfare, and the market environment is relatively subtle.
"How about trying to develop overseas markets and sell some of our shipping equipment and log warships to other countries and territories?"
Whether it is the East China Sea or the southeast, the sea area is not calm and requires large ships and a lot of weapons on board. However, Dongguo's current maritime arms procurement has slowed down, and most of the defense procurement funds have been invested in low-level armed forces.
Maybe, you can consider doing overseas business
"Okay, I'll try it first"
Lu Pingan made a phone call to confirm the attitude of the above. Not only did they not object, but they also hinted at policy and tax support.
This is also expected. Now Dongguo has entered an "offensive posture" to expand its influence around the world. This export to earn foreign exchange can also increase prestige and (military) deterrence, which is in line with the development of the times.
.
After confirming that the development of various industries was going smoothly and that even if a group of senior executives were to leave, there would be no problem, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
There are still hidden dangers, it's Lin Nu. As long as Dongguo is still on our side, the industry that remains here is actually not a big problem.
"I'll stay behind."
Catherine sighed, there must be someone to guard the house. She didn't want to take responsibility, but the situation was too big now. She couldn't trust other people, not because of their character, but because of their ability. She estimated that except for Lu Ping'an himself
, no one knows everything about the entire industry better than her.
In a sense, the current Lu Ping An forces are capable of destroying the country, and it is completely unacceptable if something goes wrong.
After identifying the cadres participating this time, the process of information sharing and talent recommendation began.
Lu Ping'an's side is already a real legion instead of "adventurers", and the personnel transferred are already regular troops in the eyes of outsiders.
The cadres and supervisors of each department have combat capabilities that can be called legions and battle groups. Now they are dispatching personnel according to needs to rebuild an expeditionary force for foreign exploration.
"Do you want to bring chariot troops? No matter what the laws of physics are, friction wheels are generally not banned. Our craftsmen can make local vehicles and battlefield chariots as quickly as possible.
I have hired a group of very good drivers here, but they need some practical training."
"Meow, there are some groups of assassins, meow sentinels, meow! Now that the country has calmed down, they are looking for new jobs!"
"We need to prepare ourselves for the sniper attack by Lin Nu's forces, or let us take action on the traitors over there, at least to get their personnel."
"The atmosphere over there has a high oxygen content, which may be conducive to combustion. Let the Holy Fire Legion bring it."
"That is an area with medium and high magic. I can also bring tamed animals there, and maybe I can cultivate new varieties."
Naturally, when the cadres began to prepare the exploration plan and chatted, it reached the point of organizing a regular army to conduct a large-scale war.
The more people there are, the more logistics will need to be kept up, and business groups and so on will also need to be deployed.
In a sense, this is one of the main reasons why Lu Ping'an was invited to go. A comprehensive group of explorers is far more adaptable than a simple fighting church.
"Since no one wants to ascend to the gods, I will invite two low-level gods to go together."
At Lu Ping'an's current level, he can even directly hire and dispatch the Ark of God.
There are quite a few "allies" who are very close to him, and now is the time to activate the support of contacts.
As for dispatching the gods, Lu Ping'an is preparing for a big fight. Whether it is dealing with the Lin goddess type who may be sniped or challenging local dangerous elements, the "favor" given by the gods is very useful, especially the help
Members adapt to the environment as quickly as possible.
Before departure, you must do a good job of intelligence work. In this regard, the information provided by Dongguo is a bit sparse. This is mainly because there is too much time for exploration and discovery, and even the people of Sakurajima themselves do not have much useful information.
That world was discovered by them very early, but at that time they did not have enough power to develop it. It was just a little development and intelligence collection.
Different from the previous prepared battles, this time it may be necessary to develop and develop while fighting, and to the extent of designing, adapting, and producing.
"Prepare the factory, and by the way, hire a group of 'mechanics' to realize the integration of war machinery as soon as possible."
I have no plans to go there and live a savage life. I have a safe road and have made preparations in advance.
After confirming their intention to go and confirming the communication with Wanjing, all the cadres began to go their own way.
It takes time to dispatch materials and personnel, and it takes time to set up targeted research and development and geographical exploration departments. It will not take a moment for a force of this level to take action.
By the time all preparations were completed, it would already be two months later.
During this process, Lu Ping'an received a warning as expected.
"Sure enough, Lady Lin's God's Boat is already on its way, and they will definitely attack us on the way."
The biggest difference from before is that this time the leader of the expeditionary force is not Lu Ping'an, but the "adult" Kris.
