Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 481 New Life

Zhuang Feifei bought a ticket to the capital Constitution City with her new identity, and she was ready to start a new life in that super city.After considering the opinions of Zhuang Xuteng, Morgana and Lucy, Zhuang Feifei gave up the idea of ​​starting a business again and chose to enter Capital University to continue her studies in "Fine Design".

The success of Peicheng Studio stems from the strong support of Bai Moji. This kind of success is almost impossible to repeat.The end of the vast majority of small businesses and studios is not very good. It is not easy to be successful for a while, and it is even rarer to escape unscathed.This is a bit like the mercenary industry. Only a very small number of people are willing to give up their jobs. Being able to survive until no one is willing to ask them to work is considered a pretty decent ending.

"I'm not quitting the industry, it's just that no one wants me..."

Now there has finally been some progress. Moat Company can accept people with certain experience like this and offer them a salary that they don’t have to worry about for life. It only requires them to bring in new people, so that young people in the company can grow up quickly.

The growth of a company requires a suitable atmosphere, which mainly refers to the external atmosphere.Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand how to run a company, so he just had to listen to Ge Gong's advice.Brother Dao said that Zhuang Xuteng needed to work to create a good external atmosphere for Moat Company, so Zhuang Xuteng came to do the work.

Since you are doing work and not helping, then go through the formal channels for entrusting tasks.Zhuang Xuteng and the two sisters Nightingale and Yanque were called to Lucy's office to accept the task. This time the client was also there.

"What have you done recently, and why have the prices risen so much?" Brother Dao widened his eyes, shook his index finger at Zhuang Xuteng, and said, "You are unjust! Don't call me if you have something interesting to do! Lucy is the same, one word They didn’t even reveal it to me, they treated me like an outsider!”

"She is the middleman, so she shouldn't tell you anything; I will definitely not keep it a secret from you." Zhuang Xuteng shrugged and said, "I caused some damage when I got into trouble before, so I had to work to make up for it. I broke up with the Canghuo Gang. Riverside building…”

"It was really you who did it! I feel like it was you, but it's hard to find out." Brother Dao clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "That's a good job! What a relief! Let's take some time to have a meal and tell me what happened to you. He did it. Now the rumors outside are very exaggerated, saying that a man entered through the main entrance, came out from the roof, and slaughtered the entire building. I think, isn't this something that Master Famine Stranger can do?"

Lucy nodded and said, "Actually, what he actually did is pretty much the same."

Hearing this, Zhuang Xuteng rolled his eyes and said: "I just praised you for your good sense of confidentiality and strong sense of responsibility, but you exposed your secrets to me so quickly. Brother Dao, I didn't kill this or that, it was purely to escape." , knocking down a few gangsters blocking the way. If I could really kill through a building, wouldn’t my price be even higher?”

"Uh... you want it to be higher? Your appearance fee is already the same as before Master retired, and you still want it to be higher?" Brother Dao was stunned for a moment and said.

"The same? No, I didn't know I raised the price?" Zhuang Xuteng tilted his head and looked at Lucy and said, "Did the price increase?"

"Yes, because of the parking lot and the fact that things are rare and expensive." Lucy said: "The number of mercenaries outside has dropped a lot, and the new recruits have not been able to supplement them. There are mercenaries with names who can continue to go on missions. The prices have all been raised. Your situation is somewhat similar to theirs, but there are also differences. I'm raising the price for you. On the one hand, you are worth the price, and on the other hand, I want you to avoid the limelight and not be named for work casually. The son has gone."

"Sheltering Head? The Canghuo Gang is looking for him?"

Lucy shook her head and said: "That's not what I meant. The reason why we are causing trouble with the Canghuo Gang is because they bought the list to recruit mercenaries and become the best targets. I don't want Nike to become the middleman-the target of the mercenaries. ——It’s not necessary, and the key is that you can’t make more money by being a target.”

Brother Dao nodded and said: "It's time to choose a mission. Naike is definitely qualified for this. Uh... will my mission be a bit inappropriate?"

Zhuang Xuteng immediately expressed his position and said: "You need me to do something, there is no such thing as inappropriate!"

Lucy waved her hand before Ge Gongdao spoke, attracting everyone's attention. "You two, stop talking nonsense. I am the middleman. I will make the first judgment on whether the entrusted task can be accepted. Moat Company needs more customers to support such a big situation now, but some people want to hand over the security work. Gang-backed businesses do it — it’s impossible not to crack down on this kind of thing.”

Gogongdao nodded and said: "During the period when Director Bruce Pell was hospitalized, the power of the PCPD was weakened to the extreme. At that time, the Peicheng City government planned to have Deputy Mayor Kelan Watt in charge of city security matters. But we Peicheng Our director is tough on life. He was sent to the hospital twice by bombs. He survived serious injuries both times and maintained the situation of PCPD. So Deputy Mayor Watt was very embarrassed and became a guy with a false reputation. Until recently , moat companies enter the market.”

In fact, Deputy Mayor Watt was indispensable for the ability of Moat Security Company to operate in Peicheng and the conversion of mercenaries from underground to above ground.Lucy and other middlemen just followed his path, and then mobilized (bribed) some parliamentarians to make "private security companies" eligible to take over some of the work that originally belonged to the police, turning it into a state similar to "private police".

Through this kind of cooperation, Deputy Mayor Watt's title of "in charge of city security matters" is no longer in name only, and he will also have the opportunity to take further steps in his official career.Currently, he is also cooperating with him on setting up a private detective company.It is said that he is very interested in a private detective company that can investigate his competitors. He has already expressed his willingness to provide convenience, and also wants to start in-depth cooperation through white-glove investment.

Considering that the people above were not very clean and would investigate anyone, Ge Gongdao welcomed the convenience of the deputy mayor's investment.However, the deputy mayor is not just one person, but also a group. Not to mention "disciples and old officials", there are three secretaries working for him, and this time there is a problem with one of the secretaries.

Miss Claudia Pope belongs to the second category in the deputy mayor's team.Her main role is to eliminate the problem of too many male faces in the deputy mayor's team, and to take over the work that others have already completed.She has nothing to do with groundbreaking matters, specifically new business deals. She is only trusted to do the work that follows the rules and steps.Such is the case with security companies.Deputy Mayor Watt believed that after the establishment of the Moat Security Company, there would be no major events. At most, there would be some reporting, requesting instructions, and supervision and management matters, so he handed them over to Miss Pope.Security companies at the level of Moat have to face the situation where gangs are rampant and "peer competition" with the PCPD.Unless the mercenaries want to open a second store for internal competition, no one will come to this market to die.

But a new security company is about to appear, and they are not here to die, but simply to steal chickens: the Canghuo Gang has recruited a few mercenaries, using them as faces and using gang members as the main force to actually do the work, and they are also here to apply. Security company.

Miss Pope should have stayed away from this kind of thing, or asked Deputy Mayor Watt for instructions, but I don't know where she made the mistake, or simply because she accepted the benefits of the Canghuo Gang, she actually fooled the deputy mayor into agreeing in principle. this matter.If we go one step further and the city council approves and authorizes the gang's security company with the same business scope as Moat, it means that the gang can also launder its innocence...

This matter was strongly opposed by the PCPD, but the PCPD's opposition failed to prevent Moat Company from opening, and it is estimated that it will not have a good effect on this new company.Lucy also admitted that this company was well disguised. On the surface, it looked like a second company run by a middleman-mercenary. Including its various publicity about its business direction, it also seemed to be reserved for moat companies to share risks. Way back.

The middlemen-mercenaries knew very well that they had no plans to open a trumpet account, so of course they would conduct a detailed investigation and quickly strip the company.After careful consideration, Ge Gongdao judged that Deputy Mayor Watt was aware of the truth about this matter. He was probably thinking of correcting mistakes, leveraging strengths, and creating checks and balances.The cost of begging him is very high; going to a company that has not yet opened will also directly affect the reputation of the moat. Maybe the gang members are waiting for the new company to have trouble, and then mobilize public opinion to pour excrement on the moat. It is best to get Have to close down business.

"Miss Pope, you need to make her understand how big of a mistake she has made." Ge Gongdao took the key points of the mission from Lucy, handed it to Zhuang Xuteng, and said: "To put it bluntly, scare her, and by intimidating her, let her Deputy Mayor Watt also understands the stakes. Money can be earned together, but you have to look after your own life."

Zhuang Xuteng opened the envelope and read Miss Pope's details.Lucy added the situation: "This time you have to face Miss Pope's security guards. They are composed of a complex group of people. There is one deputy mayor assigned by the constitutional government and transferred there; the other two people she found herself, including her driver. My investigation found that there are a few more bodyguards around her, their appearance has changed, they are probably former mercenaries, that is, people from the Canghuo Gang."

Ge Gongdao snorted coldly and said: "From mercenaries to gangsters, they are all bad people, just like vipers."

"It can't be generalized. Some mercenaries are coerced." Lucy said: "Nike, don't kill these mercenaries like vipers. Now there are several middlemen who are trying to find a way to change their safe identities. , let them be our spies in the gang, and strive to eventually bring down the gang."

It sounds beautiful and somewhat convincing, but Ge Gongdao is very dissatisfied with this statement. "It's not that they lost their identity because of bad luck like me, but the middlemen association failed to take good care of such important data. Even if the technology is not as good as humans, even if it is stolen, the responsibility for retrieval still belongs to the middleman. In the end, it was not recovered. Come on, with such serious consequences, the mercenary has already suffered a loss without going to the middleman to ask for compensation! Naike, this is like the boss has a problem, the employee loses his job, no arrangements are made for the aftermath, and no compensation is even given. Change. If it’s you, aren’t you angry?”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded vigorously.He and Gogong Dao met at the sit-in demonstration, which was for unemployment compensation.

Ge Gongdao continued to mutter: "There is also the change of security identity. To put it harshly, the middleman should pay for it to be done for the mercenaries, instead of using it to blackmail or lure. If I didn't use this income, I would be able to do it. Dividends, I will be more straightforward, and I may even bring mercenaries to ask for this compensation."

Lucy raised her hand to wipe her sweat and said, "Thankfully I let you participate and paid you dividends, otherwise I would have been burned."

Zhuang Xuteng smiled.In this matter, he sided with Gogong Dao. "Sister Lucy, you have done a good job as an intermediary, but you have to admit that some intermediaries are really not qualified to be intermediaries. Why should they recruit new people and restart their business? Mercenaries cannot be the only ones to suffer this crisis. Damn, all the middlemen are doing well."

"I can't reveal too much yet, I can only say..." Lucy lowered her voice and said, "Some things are being planned, and some things have already begun to be laid out. After the Moat Security Company and the Private Detective Company have all set up, it's really There’s no need for so many middlemen.”

Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao looked at each other, and both of them thought of the words "middleman war" at the same time.Nightingale and Rock Bird also frowned upon hearing this, feeling as if a storm was about to come.

"Back to the subject, this mission is for Miss Pope. Scare her, but don't scare her to death. How to achieve this effect, Naike, you and your team can figure it out. Anyway, the money is so much, and the advance payment is also Fixed. By the way, because I didn’t make a detailed step-by-step plan for you this time, I will take [-]% less. In the future, for tasks that you perform independently, how about we just follow the example? "

"Ah..." As soon as Brother Dao opened his mouth, he saw Zhuang Xuteng raise his hand.He thought that he had gradually left the mercenary industry and switched to company management, so he really shouldn't talk too much.At the same time, he also wanted to see whether Naike could grow and become the independent "leader" of the mercenary team.

"Brother Dao told me some things about the mercenary team before, including how to get along with middlemen as a team, so this is how I look at it." Zhuang Xuteng looked at Yanque and Nightingale and gave them a reassuring look. Then he said: "The initial intelligence of this mission is very comprehensive, Meteor has contributed, and it would be better if we formulated the specific action plan. It is divided into [-] and [-]. Sister Lucy, you are actually at a disadvantage."

"But...since you proposed [-], I will definitely not refuse, hehe." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and scratched his head, and said: "I want to propose two situations: there is no action plan, [-] is divided; if there is no intelligence support, we will do it ourselves Collect information and make plans, [-]-[-].”

Lucy was obviously stunned and said: "Three to seven? That means I took advantage. You are very confident in solving the task by yourself! But your team does have the ability to say this. Nightingale and Yanque both have the ability of intelligence officers. All I need to do is get you a job, and I’ll get [-]% of it.”

"It's not just about taking jobs, but also providing services such as cleaning up and selling stolen goods! I'm not quite a middleman. Then, whether it's [-] or [-], our team will share the income equally per head. If it's [-], then the achievement belongs to the two sisters alone. ." Zhuang Xuteng said: "As the captain, this matter is settled."
