Chapter 7 The Copycat Reaper (Part 1)

Coming to the home world of the X-Men again, New York at this time is very different from the last time they saw it.

The former chaos and disorder disappeared, replaced by a thriving scene. New York is coming out of the haze of war and rebuilding its homes, and large cranes can be seen rumbling everywhere. Even the New York residents walking on the road have regained their long-lost confidence and smiles.

"It seems that the signing of the peace agreement has been completed." Hong Lang laughed.

"That is, God's arrangement." King Kong took a step forward, looking around, everywhere was peaceful.

Shen Yi took out his handheld computer and began to check their last investment income.

Due to the peaceful relationship, the stock market is in a state of full-blown red. In particular, the basic engineering construction sector is rising rapidly. The investment of 300,000 U.S. dollars has increased by more than 20 times in one year, becoming 7 million U.S. dollars. This situation made everyone happy.

He said softly and happily: "After two months of accumulation, we can use two million dollars to directly buy five D-level scrolls. I have already checked and purchased the basic materials needed to make the Reaper, including various electronic components. Matching parts, various metals, about three D-level identification scrolls can be done.”

"That means there are still two D-rank appraisal scrolls left?"

"That's right."

"Looks like I can take something back. By the way, how about making weapons?"

"I'm afraid it's too late in time. But if you bring the finished product, I'm afraid the quantity will be greatly affected."

Shen Yi thought for a while and said: "Gentle, go and see the demand standards for finished bullets, grenades, and explosives. We don't need weapons, we only bring ammunition. By the way, if conditions permit...we will make some special bombs."

"What kind of special bomb?"

Shen Yi whispered a few words in Wenrou's ear, and Wenrou was shocked.

After thinking about it, she nodded and agreed: "This idea is good, and it should be able to bring a lot. But after all, this is a two-month inventory of identification scrolls. If the super factory is really established in the future, hundreds of terminators will be produced every month. , even optical identification materials can’t meet the demand.”

Even if the raw material processing mode is adopted, the products that can be brought back to the city are still limited, which is another major problem in addition to the difficulties in the construction of super factories.

Hong Lang said: "Then buy the appraisal scroll from outside. As long as the value of what we bring out exceeds the scroll itself, everything will be worth it."

Rourou immediately said: "The problem is that the things we produce cannot be used for sale. All our investment here can only be converted into our own combat power, and cannot be used for trading. It cannot be exchanged for blood points, which means that we You can’t create a virtuous cycle by selling a product. Unless we’re all going the tech route, it’s not worth it.”

King Kong smiled and said: "Be content, there are always difficulties, if not, a program can make us invincible. Can you imagine the scene where tens of thousands of terminators are easily sold from the home world? I guess that's going to drive Blood City crazy, and maybe the Guardians of the Rules will have to rush out to talk to us again."

"That's right." The corners of Shen Yi's mouth slightly pursed, revealing a nice smile: "Difficulties will always exist, but they can't stop us either."

Then he took out a large stack of blueprints from the coat of arms: "There are 124 design blueprints for the reaper, Gentle, Luo Hao, you go to the largest processing companies in New York, take out these blueprints separately, and entrust them to process them." .Hong Lang King Kong, you guys are going to rob the bank, we need more money to pay for manufacturing."

Commissioned processing is an important part of Shen Yi Reaper's manufacturing plan. Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the production of the Reaper with their personal strength alone.

In order to ensure that the technology will not be lost, Shen Yi decomposed the Reaper into core parts and peripheral parts. All the peripheral components are completed by local companies in the United States, and the core components are completed by Shen Yi himself by renting factory machines.

Due to time constraints, they had to complete the negotiation of the processing agreement and plant lease as soon as possible. Even so, it is not an easy task to produce the parts Shen Yi needs in a short period of time. The two biggest problems are, first, most of the equipment capable of producing harvesters are numerical control equipment, and program deployment must be carried out before processing. Second, it takes time to negotiate. If you want other factories to stop their own production and take over foreign business, you can't solve it just by giving money.

Zeus is responsible for solving the first problem. Every part that needs to be processed and the corresponding processing program are designed by Zeus early. The solution to the second problem is the Tweet Token.

Shen Yi flicked it casually, and a few tweets flew into Wen Rou's hands: "Everything is prioritized in terms of efficiency. As long as it is efficient, you can be more generous. The production of 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 to do."

Tweeting order may not be effective against those with strong force, but it is very effective against ordinary people.

But for adventurers, how can ordinary people be worth investing in? So in the eyes of most adventurers, the Tweet Token doesn't make much sense.

It can also be seen from this aspect that people often talk nicely and say that wisdom is part of strength, but they always ignore those mortals without force in actual actions.

But for Shen Yi, in order to complete his next plan, what he needs to rely on is precisely a large number of ordinary people without force.

He needs their wisdom, experience, skills, knowledge, capital, connections, but not their fighting ability. The latter only means that the cost increases and is difficult to 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 in funding are required, and there are only 10 days of stay in the home world for 300 days. These two super difficulties make the plan of the super factory very difficult. Even Superman can't do it under such circumstances make a difference.

The only way is to recruit talents with excellent business acumen to serve everyone in the home world itself.

However, the inferiority of human beings dooms no company to 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 X-Men is not an era that emphasizes loyalty and service.

With the Tweet Order, Shen Yi and the others can freely recruit the talents they need, and the procedures for dealing with them are greatly saved. It may not save you from the rewards you have to pay and your brains, but it can save you the time needed to build friendship and trust—and this is exactly what Shen Yi and the others do not have.

At least in the aspect of "people", many problems have been solved.

As for the money, as long as there are outstanding talents, money can naturally be earned.

Then the rest is just a matter of time.

Hearing Ruan Rou's words at this moment, Shen Yi laughed: "The reward of the Skynet program does not test the adventurer's combat ability, but the planning and organization ability. As for the Tweet Order, it may not be that important. There are as many strange props in the bloody city as there are stars in the sky. If you don’t have this, you can have that. The point is whether you have a perfect plan and the means to execute it. Use something else."

"Are you boasting that you have strong planning and organizational skills?" King Kong asked.

"No, I'm reminding everyone what is the most important thing in this game. Tweeting orders can turn strangers into friends, but selfishness and greed can turn friends back into enemies. So don't fight for unnecessary things. to make stupid mistakes. To those who can help us, we want to be as kind, generous and merciful as possible.”

"clear!"

"Then act."

————————

The next action, everything went according to plan.

Hong Lang and the others plundered wantonly and grabbed 12 million U.S. dollars in one day, which caused a national sensation.

Wenrou quickly finalized the entrusted processing agreement with some large processing enterprises. For 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 weird, such as ensuring the use of their own materials for processing, not keeping any basic patterns, related design parameters and samples, not asking about the origin and usage, etc., but their generous offerings are so generous that no one will refuse such an agreement .

Especially in this era when chasing profit is like chasing life.

The Reaper production plan is finally in full swing. Luo Hao is responsible for the heavy responsibility of supervision during the production period, and King Kong is responsible for purchasing other small parts needed for production.

Wen Wen and Shen Yi, who had completed the business negotiations, continued with their next plan - the acquisition of a small factory, on the one hand to produce and process the core components of the Reaper, and on the other hand to serve as the prototype of their future super factory, and to prepare for its next step. step by step development.

In the hotel, Shen Yi was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands, as if he was thinking about something.

Rourou used the handheld computer to collect information on the target company.

"Cheeseman Company, one of the former Chrysler Group companies, is mainly responsible for the production of aircraft precision parts. It currently has twelve large-scale production lines, which are suitable for refitting into the production lines we need. In recent years, due to the mutant war, the performance of this company It has fallen sharply and is in a state of huge losses. After taking office, the new Chrysler president Bileshlar decided to cut down some non-profitable non-main business points, Cheeseman is one of them. Its public price is 38 million In terms of U.S. dollars, many companies are now planning to make a move.”

"I have read the relevant news. The real purpose of Bilshral should be to sell it to a large conglomerate in exchange for a billion-dollar contract. We can't get it. In addition, One reason is that the influence of this old conglomerate culture is so ingrained that it doesn't work against our new way of managing. Think about something else."

"Martin Corporation, one of the manufacturers of auto parts, was affected by the mutant war and lost a lot of money. It has been unable to support the company's operations. Its main problem is that this move is opposed by the company's labor union. Many companies are likely to lay off workers significantly, so they are rushing to act."

"Give up, we don't have the time and experience to toss with unions. What we need is not unions, but workers who can work hard for money."

"Newman Brothers Company, a small processing company, mainly processes special materials for some heavy 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 purchase a batch of advanced production lines at low prices. Therefore, the strength of the company is not weak. Their main source of funds is the Mafia family Newman family, and the Newman brothers are one of the members of this family. Two months ago, the Newman family was defeated by another Mafia family Hargraves in a turf war. The family was defeated, and the Newman Brothers Company was in the midst of a broken capital chain, family collapse, and the Hargraves family. They planned to sell the company in exchange for enough funds to compete with the Hargraves family. For this reason, many companies are reluctant 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 over the handheld computer, and after carefully reading the information on Newman Brothers, he said, "This is it."

"If you buy this company, you have to be careful of the revenge of the Hargraves family. They have threatened that no one should provide financial support for the Newman family. It is impossible for us to 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. They will give us the company and they will agree. It just so happens that Hong Lang is free."

"You said not to cause too much turmoil here, that may cause unnecessary trouble."

"The problem is that we have no better way." Shen Yi said and stood up from the bed.

Walking to Wenrou's side, he gently hugged Wenrou's waist: "If we want to build our super factory as soon as possible, we will inevitably have to take some risks. The risk itself is not terrible. Proportional."
