In the hotel room.
Dave and Sophia sat together in the living room after dealing with Phantom's problems. They looked at Xiao Zheng in disbelief. "You reached an agreement with General Hill?"
Xiao Zheng glanced at them and said unhappily, "Why, you don't believe me? Do you think I'm bragging? "
Dave quickly shook his head and said seriously, "I trust you unconditionally."
Sophia smiled faintly and said, "General Hill has always been in favor of suppressing the Skeleton Corps. He hates the Skeleton Corps to the core. Why would he work with you? "
"Simple." Xiao Zheng took a sip of his coffee. "It's because he hates the Skeleton Corps that he wants to mend our relationship. Since we can't defeat them, we can only work together. "
"How do we work together?" Dave asked half-jokingly. "Don't tell me they want us to fight for them?"
Xiao Zheng glared at Dave. "Put away your funny sense of humor!"
Dave quickly shut his mouth, not daring to speak.
Xiao Zheng pulled open the drawer of the coffee table and took out a few confidential documents. He threw them to Dave and said, "See for yourself."
Dave flipped through the information and glanced at it. "These are all missions with high rewards." He paused for a moment and looked at Xiao Zheng with a puzzled expression. "President. General Hill has always been in favor of defeating us. Why would he suddenly be so kind as to provide us with missions? "
Wasn't this like nurturing a tiger and inviting calamity?
Not to mention him, even Sofia was puzzled. This Xiao Zheng — where did he get his abilities from? Not only did he bury the hatchet with General Hill, he even took on a few big business deals from him. It was unimaginable.
"Didn't I explain it just now? General Hill thinks that he can't defeat us. So, he's trying to rope us in to show his sincerity, "Xiao Zheng explained impatiently. "In any case, don't cause trouble in South Africa. Even if you want to carry out missions, don't do it in a big way. Isn't it good for everyone to coexist peacefully and benefit each other? "
Dave nodded and said, "The Skeleton Corps no longer exists. There's only the Mercenary Association now. Everything must be done according to the rules. Naturally, we won't be as impulsive as before. Furthermore, the main purpose of the Mercenary Association is to make money, not to cause trouble. There's no reason for us to clash with the military. "
"It's good that you think that way." Xiao Zheng nodded and said. "Take these missions and analyze them. Then, he would hand it over to a reliable subordinate. This is our Mercenary Association's first battle, we must fight it beautifully and make a name for ourselves. "
"No problem!" Dave rubbed his palms together. "Our Skeleton Mercenary Association currently has 500 official members. Both Miss Sophia and I have been on record for the past few days. Once the branches in various regions have set up channels, the number of members will increase dramatically. "
"Make sure the quality is good in the early stages," Xiao Zheng reminded. "The reason why the Skeleton Corps collapsed in one night was because there were too many eyes and fish and dragons mixed together. Dave, you need to learn from this. Don't absorb any Tom, Dick, or Harry. It will ruin our reputation. "
"En. You're right, President, "Dave agreed. "I will carefully select the list of members. He quickly formed a team of judges. Come up with a mercenary hierarchy as soon as possible. "
"Mega Gun and Houzi will stay to help you. One of them is good at fighting, and the other is good at shooting. They can provide you with professional advice, "Xiao Zheng said.
"Thank you, President!" Dave said happily. "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you for people …"
"Go do what you need to do." Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said. "I'm done here, I'll be returning to China in two days. Hurry up and prepare the structure of the association, and try to get it on the right track in half a year. "
"Yes, President." Dave got up and left the room.
Sophia carefully looked at Xiao Zheng for a while, and said in amazement, "Xiao Zheng. I didn't expect you to get the first business for the Mercenary Association so quickly. You're indeed an elite in the business world, the founder of Phantom. "
Xiao Zheng sipped his coffee and rolled his eyes. "Don't make fun of me."
"I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart," Sophia said sincerely. "I thought the Mercenary Association would need at least a year or two to officially get on the right track and enter the era of profit. But looking at you, it seems like you'll be able to earn your first bucket of gold in a few months. "
Xiao Zheng said seriously, "Do you think I spent so much effort to set up this Mercenary Association for my dreams? Would I be crazy if I didn't earn money? "
"—" Sophia stared at Xiao Zheng with a faint smile, and bit her lip. "I realized that you only care about money now."
"It's hard to do anything without money," Xiao Zheng sighed. "I used to be a small security guard, and I could live comfortably in Pearl City with three to five thousand a month. Now, even if I earn thirty to fifty million a month. It still feels like it's not enough. "
"This is the amazing law that the richer you are, the stingier you are." Sophia smiled. "Just like the famous American movie line: With great power comes great responsibility. The more you earn, the more places you have to spend money. Naturally, you'll be more careful with your spending. "
"That's why I have to work hard to earn money," Xiao Zheng said with conviction.
Those in power could use their power to earn money. And the rich could also spend money to buy power. Especially the super tycoons at the top of the pyramid. They could even cover the sky with one hand. Although the national conditions were different at home and abroad. But at the end of the 20th century, there were often news of the tycoons being "taken down." But now?
They were extinct!
Because the structure of society had changed. Because they once groped for the stones to cross the river, a group of lucky people known as "the first to get rich" had already occupied most of the resources of society. They had both money and power. Some people even suggested that Hua Xia was now only left with the skin of a socialist. Deep down, it was a provocative statement that seemed to have embarked on the road of capitalism.
Ignoring the veracity of these remarks, but the social phenomenon of money and power not being separated had already reached a consensus among the common people.
Sophia stared at Xiao Zheng, and a faint smile appeared on her delicate and mysterious face.
She was not surprised by Xiao Zheng's change. On the contrary, she already knew that Xiao Zheng would walk on this path. You will understand the minutiae of it.
Working hard to earn money did not mean being greedy. And the main premise of working hard to earn money was to struggle and work hard. It was a necessary quality for a mature and successful man.
"Xiao Zheng. You've finally matured, "Sophia said meaningfully. "You'll soon be on the road to success."
Xiao Zheng glanced at Sophia. "Are you envious of my immeasurable future?"
"I'm not envious." Sophia smiled. "But I'm happy for you."
"Hypocrite!" Xiao Zheng said with a straight face. "I can clearly see the desire in your eyes."
"That's hunger, that's desire." Sophia pestered Xiao Zheng, playing a friendly match before they parted.
