Coming to the home world of the X-Men again, New York at this time is completely different from the last time they saw it.
The chaos and disorder of the past have disappeared and been replaced by a scene of prosperity. New York is emerging from the haze of war and rebuilding its homes. Large cranes can be seen rumbling everywhere. Even New York is walking on the road. The residents have also regained their long-lost confidence and smiles.
"It seems that the signing of the peace agreement has been completed." Hong Lang chuckled.
"That's God's arrangement." King Kong took a step forward and looked around, seeing peace and tranquility everywhere.
Shen Yi took out his handheld computer and began to check the income from their last investment.
Due to the peaceful relationship, the stock market is in a state of overall prosperity. Especially the infrastructure construction sector is rising rapidly. The investment of 300,000 US dollars has increased more than 20 times in one year, becoming 7 million. US dollars. This situation makes everyone happy.
Wen Wen said happily: "After two months of accumulation, we can use two million US dollars to buy five D-level scrolls. I have already checked and purchased the basic materials needed to make the reapers, including various electronic components. Related You can complete it with supporting parts, various metals, and about three D-level identification scrolls."
"That means there are still two D-level appraisal scrolls left?"
"That's right."
"It seems like there is something else I can bring back. By the way, how about using it to make weapons?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to make enough time. But if I bring finished products, I'm afraid the quantity will be greatly affected."
Shen Yi thought for a while and said: "Wen Wen, please take a look at the requirements for finished bullets, grenades, and explosives. We don't need weapons, just ammunition. By the way, if conditions permit... we will get some special bombs."
"What kind of special bomb?"
Shen Yi whispered a few words into Wen Wen's ear, which shocked Wen Wen.
After thinking about it, she nodded in agreement: "It's a good idea, and it should be able to bring a lot. But after all, this is only two months' stock of appraisal scrolls. If the super factory is really established in the future, hundreds of Terminators will be produced every month. , even light identification materials can’t meet the demand.”
Even if the raw material processing model is adopted, the products that can be brought back to the city are still limited. This is another major problem after the difficulty of building super factories.
Hong Lang said: "Then we will purchase the appraisal scroll from outside. As long as the value of what we bring out exceeds the value of the scroll itself, everything will be worthwhile."
Wen Wen immediately said: "The problem is that the things we produce cannot be sold. All our investment here can only be converted into our own combat power and cannot be used for transactions. We cannot exchange for bloody points, which means that we You can't create a virtuous cycle by selling products. Unless we all go the technological development route, it's not worth it."
King Kong smiled and said: "Be content, difficulties will always exist. If not, a program can make us invincible. Can you imagine the scene where thousands of Terminators can be easily brought out and sold from the home world? I guess that will drive Bloody City crazy, and maybe the Rule Keeper will have to rush out to talk to us again."
"That's right." Shen Yi pursed his lips slightly, revealing a beautiful smile: "Difficulties will always exist, but they can't stop us either."
Then he took out a large stack of drawings from the coat of arms: "There are a total of 124 design drawings for the Reaper. Wen Wen, Luo Hao, you go to the largest processing companies in New York, take out these drawings separately, and entrust them with processing. .Honglang King Kong, you go rob the bank, we need more money to pay for the manufacturing costs."
Commissioned processing is an important part of Shen Yi's Reaper manufacturing plan. Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the production of the Reaper with their own personal strength.
In order to ensure that technology is not lost, Shen Yi decomposed the Reaper into core parts and peripheral parts. All peripheral parts were completed by local companies in the United States, while Shen Yi completed the core parts himself by renting factory machinery.
Due to time constraints, they must complete negotiations on processing agreements and factory leases as soon as possible. Nonetheless, it is not easy to produce the parts Shen Yi needs in a short time. The two biggest problems are that one is the ability to produce Most of the equipment that harvesters can see is CNC equipment, and the program must be adjusted before processing. Secondly, negotiation takes time. If you want other factories to stop their production and take over external business, it cannot be solved by giving money. .
Zeus is responsible for solving the first problem. Every component that needs to be processed and the corresponding processing procedures have been designed by Zeus early. The solution to the second problem is to push the order.
Shen Yi flicked his hand casually, and a few favor orders flew into Wen Wenwen's hands: "Everything is efficiency first. As long as you are efficient, be generous with your actions. All parts must be completed within eight days, so that we can solve the remaining problems." things."
She smiled softly and said, "Thank you for getting these things, otherwise I really don't know what I would do."
The Tweet Order may not be effective against those with powerful force, but it is extremely effective against ordinary people.
But for adventurers, how can ordinary people be worth investing in? Therefore, in the eyes of most adventurers, the push order does not mean much.
It can also be seen from this aspect that people often talk nicely and say that wisdom is also part of strength, but in actual actions they always ignore those mortals without force.
For Shen Yi, in order to complete his next plan, what he needs to rely on is a large number of ordinary people without force.
He needs their wisdom, experience, skills, knowledge, capital, and connections, but he does not need their combat ability. The latter only means increased costs and difficulty in control.
You must know that if you want to build a huge super factory in the home world, the two most fundamental problems are actually money and people.
Tens of billions of dollars of funding are required, and the home world only has a ten-day stay period out of three hundred days. These two super difficulties make the Gigafactory plan extremely difficult. Even Superman cannot do it under these circumstances. Make a difference.
The only way is to recruit talents with excellent business acumen in the home world itself to serve everyone.
However, the bad nature of human beings means that no company can develop stably and healthily without being able to maintain basic contact with the boss of the company for a long time. People are selfish, and the world of the X-Men is not an era that values loyalty and retribution.
With the grace order, Shen Yi and others can freely recruit the talents they need, and the procedures for dealing with them are greatly reduced. It may not save you from the remuneration and the brain work, but it can help you save the time needed to build friendship and trust. Time - this is exactly what Shen Yi and the others do not have.
At least many problems have been solved in the "people" aspect.
As for the money part, as long as you have outstanding talents, money can naturally be earned.
Then the rest is a matter of time.
Hearing Wen Rou say this, Shen Yi laughed: "The Skynet Program reward does not test the adventurer's combat ability, but the planning and organizational ability. As for the grace order, it may not be that important. There are as many strange and weird props as there are stars in the sky in the bloody city. If you don’t have this, there will be that. The key point is whether you have a perfect plan and executable skills. Props are just auxiliary functions and tools to achieve the goal. If this tool is not good, just use it. Use something else.”
"Are you bragging about your strong planning and organizational skills?" King Kong asked.
"No, I am reminding everyone what is most important in this game. Tweets can turn strangers into friends, but selfishness and greed can turn friends back into enemies. So don't do it for unnecessary reasons. We make stupid mistakes when there are benefits. We need to be as kind, generous and merciful as possible to those who can help us."
"clear!"
"Then take action."
The next actions will all go according to plan.
Hong Lang and others went on a looting spree, grabbing US$12 million in one day, causing a nationwide sensation.
Wenwen quickly finalized entrusted processing agreements with some large processing companies. For the adventurers, as long as the processing agreement can be completed within the specified time, things like US dollars are just a cloud. Although their requirements are a bit strange, such as ensuring that they are used They bring their own materials for processing, and are not allowed to retain any basic drawings, relevant design parameters and samples, and are not allowed to ask about the origin, purpose, etc., but their offer is so generous that no one will refuse such an agreement.
Especially in this era where the pursuit of profits is like the pursuit of life.
The Reaper production plan is finally in full swing. Luo Hao is responsible for supervising the production period, and King Kong is responsible for purchasing other small parts needed for production.
After completing the business negotiations, Wen Wenze and Shen Yi continued their next plan - to acquire a small factory, which will be used to produce and process the core components of the Reaper. Develop and grow step by step.
In the hotel, Shen Yi was sitting on the bed, holding his head in his hands, seeming to be thinking about something.
Wen Wen used a handheld computer to collect information about the target company.
"Cheeseman Company, one of the former Chrysler Group companies, is mainly responsible for the production of precision aircraft parts. It currently has twelve large-scale production lines, which are suitable for conversion to the production lines we need. In recent years, due to the mutant war, the performance of this company has declined. It has declined sharply and is in a state of huge losses. After the new Chrysler president Billesh Lal took office, he decided to cut off some unprofitable non-main business points, and Cheeseman is one of them. Its public selling price is 38 million US dollars, many companies are now planning to sell them."
"I have read the relevant news. Bilesh Lal's real purpose should be to sell it to a large conglomerate in exchange for a contract worth one billion US dollars. We cannot get it. In addition, there are One reason is that the influence of this old conglomerate culture is so ingrained that it is detrimental to our new management style. Consider something else."
"Martin Corporation, one of the auto parts manufacturers, suffered from the impact of the Mutant War and lost a lot of money, and was no longer able to support the company's operations. Its main problem is that the move was opposed by the company's union, and workers believed that the new takeover
Companies may lay off workers on a large scale, so they are resisting.”
"Give up, we don't have the time or experience to deal with the union. What we need is not the union, but workers who can fight for money."
"Newman Brothers Company, a small processing company, mainly processes special materials for some heavy industry industries. During the Mutant War, the Newman Brothers believed that the war would end sooner or later, and used a large sum of money to acquire a number of advanced production lines at low prices.
Therefore, the company is not weak. Their main source of funds is the Newman family, a Mafia family, of which the Newman brothers are members. Two months ago, the Newman family was defeated by another Mafia family, the Hargraves, in a turf battle.
The family was defeated, and the Newman Brothers Company was in the midst of a broken capital chain, family collapse, and the pressure of the Hargraves family. They planned to sell the company in exchange for enough funds to compete with the Hargraves family. Also due to
For this reason, many companies are unwilling to take over this company. For them, the risk is too great. The sales price of this company is 8 million US dollars, but experts estimate that this is only equivalent to one-fifth of the company's capital.
value."
Shen Yi quickly took the handheld computer over, and after carefully looking at the information about Newman Brothers, he said, "This is it."
"If you buy this company, you have to be careful of the Hargraves family's revenge. They have threatened that no one is allowed to provide financial support to the Newman family. We can't guard this factory every day."
"Then destroy them first. Go to the Newman family and tell them that we will help them destroy this family and they will give the company to us. They will agree. It just so happens that Hong Lang has nothing to do."
"You said not to cause too much turmoil here, as that might cause unnecessary trouble."
"The problem is that we have no better way." Shen Yi said and stood up from the bed.
Walking to Wen Wen's side, he gently hugged Wen Wen's waist: "If we want to build our super factory as soon as possible, we will inevitably take some risks. The risks themselves are not terrible. What is terrible is that the risks and rewards are not matched.
