Chapter 583 Chapter 580 Buying, Selling and Entrusting
A few days later, Zhuang Xuteng and Morgana came to the asset transaction registration office and sold the implant maintenance store under their name to Doyle. In the past few years of operation, the maintenance store has been hit and bombed, and there have been countless robberies and thefts, but overall it has made some money - thanks to Doyle's dedicated management.
Selling the store to Doyle is a reward for his long-term and serious work, and it also saves Zhuang Xuteng a worry. Although he imagined that he would make a living by running an implant maintenance store after "retirement", his thoughts changed after meeting Elizabeth Shaw. The company has obviously investigated him thoroughly and must know that he actually controls this maintenance store. If the division is not carried out, if something goes wrong, it will implicate the people in the store, which is too dangerous.
The transfer price is very low, just the cost price of the land and the building on it. Decoration, equipment, drugs and other inputs are no longer discounted. Because the building has been hit and bombed, its depreciation rate is relatively high, and overall it does not put much financial pressure on Doyle. And he has already found a buyer, who will sell the extra garage and the corresponding part of the ground to build a social public work station. Since the municipal government is promoting this work, the price offered is quite good. Not only will Doyle not be in debt, but he can also make a fortune, which can greatly supplement his pension.
After paying the transfer transaction tax and signing and stamping at the municipal window, all the procedures are completed except waiting for the new property certificate to be produced. Zhuang Xuteng stepped forward to hug Doyle, and they patted each other on the shoulders. Both men understood the meaning of this action. They would only say congratulations, not goodbye, let alone farewell.
Leaving the city hall, Zhuang Xuteng thought of visiting the mayor here a few days ago. As soon as the corners of his mouth started to curl up, Morgana immediately noticed and asked him why he was smiling.
"At least Doyle is safe, and he can do whatever he wants, freer than me. I smiled when I thought of this."
Morgana narrowed her eyes, snorted softly, and said: "I feel that what you said is half true and half false... However, the store sells so cheaply, it's almost like giving it away for free, and your mood is not affected. It seems that you really don't care about money!"
"I care when I should care, and when I shouldn't care, it's just air." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said: "Don't worry about having no money to live. I can still make money now, and I'm a billionaire. The first task now is to arrange my life. After completing the commissioned tasks sent to me by Dingxin Mochuang, we can also do whatever we want. What are you doing?"
"Dingxin Mochuang... or should I try to find a connection?"
"You have already played a very important role. Trying to find a connection again is basically useless. It is equivalent to wasting money, so it is unnecessary. Dingxin Mochuang needs to frame me now if they want to get me, and this behavior is equivalent to exposing their incompetence in investigation and evidence collection. Although the company does not care what people of our level think, the four major companies have not merged, and it has to care about what the other three think of this matter."
It sounds reasonable, but for monsters of the size of the four major companies, framing a mercenary is too small. Even if the other three think that Dingxin Mochuang has lost face, how much face can it lose? Maybe the company's senior executives can only joke with each other to liven up the atmosphere of the meeting?
"Don't take it lightly. Dingxin Mochuang has been the winner since the first corporate war, and has never failed in all the subsequent wars. They have great experience and strength. Well, you are right. Hurry up and complete the task, then keep a low profile for a while, at least you can breathe a sigh of relief."
"That is why we need to clean up the assets outside as soon as possible and put all the money into your account."
"It is your money in my account."
"You can think so, but we'd better not let the company think so." Zhuang Xuteng touched his chin and said, "If I don't need to enjoy the safety under your wings, I would suggest that we divorce and give all the property to you, so..."
"Don't think about such a bastard thing!" Morgana raised her fist and knocked on Zhuang Xuteng's head, saying, "The sky won't fall, don't be so pessimistic! Well, you made me feel bad. Pay! Treat me to ice cream!"
Zhuang Xuteng agreed with a smile, and then drove Morgana to an ice cream shop in the Taiping District Commercial Center. The main reason for coming here is that it does not provide food containing safety blue, which makes it safer to eat. There is only one living employee in the whole store. The puppet waiter takes orders at the front desk and makes them in the back kitchen. He walks through the hall and brings the maple syrup soft cookie with ice cream to the table for two people.
"There are more and more puppets, and it feels like there are fewer people on the street." Morgana ate a spoon of ice cream, raised her eyebrows, and said, "The taste has not changed. It seems that the puppets are good at making it!"
Zhuang Xuteng glanced in the direction of the back kitchen and said, "Someone controls the puppets, and it is likely that they are the previous staff, so the taste has not changed. These puppets are like the zombies before, and can be remotely controlled. There are devices that can be connected at the public work point, or you can get a set of control equipment at home."
"My servant also wanted to work this way, but was directly rejected." Morgana shook the spoon and squinted her eyes and said, "The puppet can complete simple and repetitive tasks by itself, so the servant thinks that if the puppet is trained well, he can be lazy. Anyway, whether it is remotely connected or not, you can't keep staring at it, right?"
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said: "People with specialized skills can indeed use the training of puppet execution to be a little lazy, but cleaning is not considered a craft, right? You can do puppet execution by yourself."
"Just talk outside, don't talk when you go to my house." Morgana shook her head and said: "The execution puppet looks like a zombie. Our family is a temple church, can we use that thing? Besides, the salary for being a servant in our house is much higher than that for similar jobs outside. The reason for paying this salary is to ask them to do the work themselves according to high-pressure standards rather than outsourcing it. "
"Oh, I completely understand. Hehe, the word outsourcing you used is very appropriate. Nowadays, execution puppets can do all kinds of work well, relying on the 'outsourcing' of public work sites. Those people sit on the chairs and lead helmet, and then lent his brain to the execution puppet."
Morgana nodded. "As long as puppets are still used, someone needs to provide a brain. A puppet with brain support will obviously respond faster and move more flexibly. No skills are required to lie on a chair and put on a hat, and everyone can earn this money."
"It sounds like you support the social public work point industry?"
"You have to admit that it can indeed reduce the number of homeless people and allow some people to support themselves. Some people will definitely lose their jobs because of this, but from a macro perspective, the execution puppet has arrived at the job, and the job requires brains. In fact, the job is still there The only thing I don't like about it is that it always has to provide safety blue.
After completing the analysis of Safety Blue and confirming that it was a creation of Shadow Servant Spell, Morgana has continued to advance her research on it, but her main focus has changed from medicine and chemistry to Shadow Servant Spell. Since the company has extremely strict control over the Shadow Clan Spell, she can only collect resources through family channels, especially the historical data when the Shadow Clan Spell was first produced, and wants to try to re-open the entire spell line from the root.
It is difficult, time-consuming, and dangerous. The only advantage is that if it succeeds, it can fundamentally shake up the foundation of the company's technology monopoly.
Related topics must not be discussed in public, so Zhuang Xuteng talked about social public work again. Constitution City, and Mayor Brewer Pace in particular, is pushing the project to several subcontractors — mostly white-glove companies and city officials, some also directly related to Mayor Pace — Quite favorable policies and large subsidies, the only requirement is that the subcontractor must have a suitable site and the construction must be put in place. Subcontractors are profitable, and at the same time they must strive to capture as much of the profit pool as possible, so they acquire suitable properties everywhere. Doyle also took advantage of this trend and made a small profit.
"You really have nothing to say to Doyle." Morgana recalled: "I still remember that when you first introduced him to me, he looked completely down and out. Now, he can be regarded as a boss. There’s money in your pocket and people around you.”
"Well... he actually doesn't care if he has money in his pocket." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I have been away for more than half a year, and I went to the store a few days ago to understand the situation. Before, Lando Guy - an employee of my store - He passed away, and it happened to be about death-related matters."
Zhuang Xuteng continued: "Doyle said that his current condition is very good, especially in terms of mentality, which is much better than Lando Guy. His revenge has been avenged. The top brass of the Blood Bat Gang died cleanly. At least there will be something after death. He has to go to see his family. He only has two things to do next: run the store well and hand it over to the next generation, and help people who want to quit drug addiction.”
"Detox? He wants to help Blue Savage addicts?" Morgana asked.
"Yes, they should be addicts of Blue Savage and other blue powder products, but gang members are not welcome."
Morgana frowned and asked: "There is no solution for the blue savage. The only way to relieve the symptoms is safety blue. Doyle is your subordinate, shouldn't he be allowed to use safety blue?"
"He is no longer under my command. He can do whatever he wants." Zhuang Xuteng curled his lips.
Not using safety blue is a kind of self-requirement and restraint. Zhuang Xuteng and Morgana will maintain this habit, but to be honest, there are fewer and fewer people in society who insist on this. Safety Blue has been widely used since its birth, and everyone will observe the cases around them. Compared with using Blue Savage, Safety Blue is indeed safe enough, reducing the intensity of withdrawal reactions and allowing people to stay normal and sane longer.
People who did not use Safety Blue before have started to try it in order to get better sleep results since the launch of Mengwu Experience Machine. They felt that there was nothing wrong with their health, observed the people around them, and after diagnosing with their naked eyes, they accepted the concept that Safety Blue is very safe, and began to use other Safety Blue products. Recently, the number of safety blue products has increased. If you want to find products that do not use safety blue at all, you need to be more and more cautious.
"Sooner or later, everyone outside will use safety blue, just like eating salt and sugar." Morgana frowned and said: "There is something that worries me recently: the descendants of the church accept the support and care of the company. Enjoy the special material quota. A while ago, I saw an additional column in the material list, which is the original product without the addition of safety blue.”
"I will eat with you from now on," Zhuang Xuteng said.
"It's OK to eat, but the problem is that the category is under 'exclusive supply'. Only things that can't be bought outside will be included in the exclusive supply, so I think the company obviously needs to fully roll out the safety blue."
"This is troublesome..." Zhuang Xuteng was about to express his opinion when his phone vibrated. "Brother Dao called, I'll answer it first."
Morgana nodded: "Answer it, answer it."
"Brother Dao, what's the matter?" Zhuang Xuteng listened for a while, and began to frown and scratch his eyebrows. After Brother Dao finished speaking, Zhuang Xuteng replied: "You are probably right, this is the company's action. I suggest you explore it again. If the price is right, it's not impossible. Remember, don't force it, at least don't force it in person. You are not the only shareholder, or even the largest shareholder. This kind of transfer can be discussed by the shareholders' meeting. Well, hey, I will be careful, let's contact more."
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Xuteng's brows were still furrowed. He said to Morgana: "Someone wants to invest in Moat and hopes that Brother Dao can make this happen. They have a big appetite and want to buy both Moat and Brother Dao. Brother Dao thinks that this group of people is likely to be agents of Dingxin Magic Innovation, so he came out to test it out first. At the same time, this should also be part of Dingxin Magic Innovation's action against me."
"The big four want good companies on the market. But you said that Dingxin Magic Innovation targeted you simply because of your relationship with Brother Dao?"
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said: "Whether they want to win me over or kill me, they have to clean up the environment around me. Didn't they also look for you? Same. Fortunately, they first tried to win over and buy, instead of..."
Before he finished speaking, the phone began to vibrate again. Zhuang Xuteng had never seen this number, but it was automatically translated by the phone as "Dingxin Magic Innovation Legal Department". Zhuang Xuteng smiled bitterly and showed the phone to Morgana: "Here they are. Call Brother Dao and tell him the news and ask him to be extra careful."
We must be careful and must not repeat the mistakes of Zhuang Teng. Zhuang Xuteng quickly answered the phone, and Elizabeth Shaw's voice came from it: "Please answer it quickly next time, don't waste my time."
"Sorry, I was too excited and flustered." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and asked: "Any instructions?"
"The task has been assigned, how are you going to accept it?"
"Of course, I will accept it with full enthusiasm for action." Zhuang Xuteng said seriously. Morgana, who was sitting opposite him and could see his expression and understand his character, quickly covered her mouth for fear of laughing out loud.
"Don't talk nonsense. Go to your middleman. I'm afraid you can't complete it alone. If there is any cost, you pay it, understand?"
