Jenny burst out laughing and hit him several times. "Nonsense, I've always been kind to my employees."
He quickly came up with a lousy idea. "Don't, it's better to be more dignified. That's more in line with CEO Gwenis's style!"
As soon as he said that, he was hit again.
The two of them laughed for a while, completely dispelling the low pressure from before, before Jenny explained the situation with the phone company.
Miss Beth's "revenge" on her family had given Titanium Phone Company the possibility of selling phones two months ahead of schedule.
But she was only a major shareholder of Island Dragon, and she wasn't the only one who had the final say in the company.
It wasn't a problem for Beth to suppress her inhumane father and brother.
There had to be enough benefits so that the other shareholders of Island Dragon wouldn't object to her revenge.
Beth had to have done a lot of private communication. At the very least, she had to ensure that the company's profits wouldn't drop, or even go higher.
However, the Thompson family had been using Miss Beth's status as a major shareholder to get relatively low-priced spare parts from Island Dragon.
Miss Beth's revenge was also more in line with the interests of the other shareholders.
Only then could Titanium Phone Company's spare parts production plan be brought forward.
The smartphone chips needed for the Titanium phones had very high performance requirements, and Island Dragon could also make a lot of profits.
At the same time, Titanium Phone Company also had orders for wireless router spare parts, which Island Dragon would provide.
On the other hand, Weyland Corporation also had an order for the same wireless router's spare parts with Island Dragon Corporation.
Of course, Island Dragon knew that Weyland Corporation was working with Titanium phones.
This also meant that the sales of Titanium phones were likely to increase explosively.
Thus, Beth wanted Titanium Phone Company to increase their orders.
That was why Jenny was in a hurry to find Luke.
She had a conservative estimate for the initial supply of Titanium phones.
The first batch would be 200,000 units, and the number would gradually increase. She would try to sell 500,000 Titanium phones in a year.
The company would also order chips according to this expectation.
Beth, however, wanted her to order chips for at least a million phones a year.
Luke thought for a moment, then nodded. "Sure. It doesn't matter if it's more."
The gadget he made was a high quality imitation of the Apple 4, a product that had successfully created the title of "Kidney Machine" in his previous life.
A million phones would only be sold for a few months or half a year.
Jenny smiled bitterly. "What about the money? This is a one-time expansion of the inventory by several times, we do not have that much funds. "
Luke asked, "Weyland doesn't want to be a shareholder. The money should be enough, right?"
Jenny said, "But time is tight. If we want Weyland's investment, we'll definitely suffer a loss."
Luke said, "It's fine. At most, I'll mortgage my shares in the gold mine, which is worth a lot of money. "
Jenny: "… Forget it. I'll just work harder on Weyland's side."
She knew that Luke had already transferred his share of the gold mine, and didn't really want to touch it.
She wanted the phone company to be a joint effort between Luke and her, not just his own efforts.
At this point, the matter was basically settled.
Jenny knew that Luke wasn't interested in investing in the company, so she didn't continue the topic.
The two of them snuggled together and went to get the red wine on the side. As they drank, they talked about work in low voices.
…
The next day, five in the morning.
While eating breakfast, Selina asked casually, "Did Missy look for you to discuss business again?"
Luke hummed in response and told her about the internal strife in the Thompson family and how the phone company had coincidentally taken the opportunity to open for business early.
Selina was stunned for a moment. "Really?"
A moment later, she suddenly exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean that we can use the Internet anytime and anywhere in the future …"
Luke raised a finger to indicate that she shouldn't say anything.
He wasn't the one who had told her about it, but Selina had been with him for so long that the fake tablet phone she used already had a similar function. It was just that it hadn't been as effective because there weren't many users.
Once the phone network was established, some of the functions of the fake phones would exponentially increase.
But this was too sensitive, at least for people like them who held shares in the phone company.
With this thing, Luke would be able to make up for the shortcomings of the intelligence network to a large extent.
He had only had the system for a short time, and didn't have enough manpower, connections, or funds.
It would be impossible to complete the network of connections that had been laid out by the top figures of power for decades or even generations in a year.
The phone could become his eyes and ears before he truly developed it, and wouldn't attract too much attention.
A lot of the intelligence that other people obtained had to be exchanged for benefits.
The intelligence that Luke needed was most likely just to earn experience and credit points.
He would do his best to become an intelligence black hole that could only come in and not come out. He would quietly take in all the information that was useful to him, and wouldn't touch any irrelevant information, even if it was his trump card.
Given his current situation, the only thing he had to do was to personally obtain experience and credit points.
Money and power weren't enough for him to take too many risks.
Staying low was his only way to survive.
In the next few days, Luke and Selina spent most of their time in Los Angeles, and occasionally went for a drive in other parts of California.
When they went out to investigate, they even put on makeup.
Luke was dressed like a hip-hop teen, while Selina was wearing the bohemian dresses that he had bought for her.
Luke's skin and facial features were more Latino, while Selina looked more like a white girl.
They had asked almost half of the families of the missing girls and children about what had happened when they went missing.
As they collected more and more intelligence, a fact was looming.
Although there was no solid evidence to back it up, and it seemed unreliable, Luke and Selina both knew that as long as there was evidence for one case, the rest would most likely be true.
After leaving the address of a missing child's parent in Sacramento, Luke and Selina drove back.
As long as they were out of town, Dollar and Gold Nugget would stay at home to protect Claire.
At that moment, there were only two people in the car.
Outside the window was the scorching afternoon sun. There were only specks of green in the desolate yellow, and it looked extremely hot.
Selina, however, didn't choose to turn on the air conditioner. Instead, she opened the window. Luke only drove at about 70 km/h.
Work was busy, but he couldn't just speed up his life, which would only make both work and life a torture.
The more they investigated, the more darkness they felt.
Luke was fine. After all, he had already seen the even darker headquarters of the Bubblegum Gang.
Selina, on the other hand, needed some time to adjust her mentality.
A hot breeze blew in through the open window, and her ponytail fluttered behind her.
"If we find solid evidence, what are you going to do?" she suddenly asked.
