Remut.
Early in the morning, Theon came to the office of the vice chairman of the union. He sat on his exclusive big leather chair, and soon the assistant brought him a cup of coffee. In the old days, drinking a cup of coffee in the morning was not necessarily a luxury. But in the turbulent age, being able to drink such a cup every morning tells Theon's financial resources from another aspect.
In fact, although he is the vice chairman of the trade union, at least 70% of the entire Remut's power falls into Theon's pocket.
He is still young, less than forty, which is the golden stage of a man's life. Although in terms of the average shortened life expectancy of the new era, Theon has already entered old age. But his financial resources were enough for Sean to pay for expensive genetic medicines that cost more than one million each. Although these potions cannot make Theon become a supernatural being, they can greatly prolong Theon's lifespan.
In Theon's personal safe, there are always three such potions. In the following time, Theon will inject one medicine every ten years, and these three medicines are enough for Theon to live to be eighty years old, or even longer.
Now that he has a longer life than ordinary people, what Theon wants is power. As Master said before, the ambitious Theon would not be reconciled to Remut's succumbing to the edge of the coastline. In Xi Kingdom's kingdom blueprint, this emerging city should be located at the pinnacle of the continent just like Eternal Night City.
Of course, it is not easy to achieve this goal. That requires a step-by-step plan and an eye for investing.
Remut's biggest problem now is funding, although under Theon's vigorous development, the city has grown from a small human settlement to a medium-sized underground base. But it is still far away from Theon's goal. Remut still has a long way to go to become a city with the height of Evernight City.
First of all it needs a lot of money to allow the city to expand and develop. Where does the money come from? If the water purification output of Remut itself and the arms sold by the large-scale small arsenal are to be used to reach the start-up capital of the first stage, Remut will have to operate for at least 20 years, and no mistakes can be made. That was too long for Theon, so he had only one other option left.
That is to attract other companies or nobles to invest. However, Remut is still an unknown base right now, not to mention comparing it with a fortress city like Phoenix City, and even Titan City is much more famous than it. To attract the attention of investors, Reemt has to do something.
It doesn't matter whether it's one-step genetic research, or the absolute force across the continent. Whatever it is, Theon has to show Remut's extraordinary side. But you know, you know, limited by various conditions, Theon has been unable to do anything that can attract investment in these two days.
Of course, the recently cleared university area can be said to be the cornerstone of Remut's future expansion. But Theon's actions will stop here, and the financial budget does not allow him to invest in the development of the university city immediately.
Recently, however, the opportunity has come.
The opportunity came from the mercenary who had contributed to clearing the University City not long ago. The soldier named Zero, Sean, recognized him as a talent when he saw him for the first time. And now it is even more so. After leaving Remut, this soldier confronted Sauron, the noble young master from Parkland, and snatched his lover back from Sauron's hands.
Although it was only a corpse that was recovered by Zero in the end, it was enough to make Theon look at him with admiration.
Then, Zero stayed in Nujiao City for two months. During this period, Theon ordered Pella's cobra to conduct a secret observation of it, and Zero's "practice" on the ruins in the wilderness was all fed back to Remut through signal encryption. In Theon's personal computer, there are still files related to Zero. From these files, what Theon saw was a supernatural person with great potential.
After leaving Nu Reef City, Theon also continued to pay attention to Zero's dynamics. The wolf robbery incident in Titan City, the king-killing operation in Phoenix City... All these kinds of information fell into Theon's hands through unknown channels. What surprised Theon the most was the Parkland killer incident. Facts proved that Zero survived after being ambushed by Parkland's killer, and had already entered Death Ridge yesterday.
All the information about Zero was terminated after he entered Death God Ridge. To obtain his relevant information again, he had to wait for Zero to get out of the forbidden area of life. But in any case, the information that Zero is not dead and continues to travel north is like a slap in the face of the Parkland chaebol, which also made Theon make an important decision.
He will use secret assistance to help Zero reach the blue-collar mountains of the Parkland chaebol smoothly. If Zero succeeds in avenging Parkland, Theon will appear as his leader and sell Remut behind him.
All of this is as Master guessed. But what Master didn't know was that Theon had the position of the leader who competed with him.
To do all of this, Remut naturally needs to invest a budget. So after learning that Zero is not dead and making up his mind, Theon has submitted an application according to the procedure.
But now when he turned on the computer and clicked on an unread email, the bright red words "rejected" on it looked so dazzling. And under it, a person's name appeared vividly in Theon's eyes.
Bruce!
This is the chairman of the union, Theon's boss, an old man in his sixties. Bruce has always been rigorous, and many of his ideas are incompatible with Theon's radical policies, so he often disagrees with Theon on major issues. It's just that Theon, who has the support of most union representatives behind him, is often able to win these disputes.
However, major matters such as budget expenditures have always had to be signed and approved by the chairman of the labor union, otherwise a representative meeting must be held. After a series of tedious agendas and votes, Theon was able to use this budget.
In normal times, Theon doesn't care. But now, he didn't have the time to play the game of tortoise and the hare with that old man Bruce. This budget must be put into use immediately before Zero crosses Death God Ridge, and it involves the operation of intelligence, materials, personnel and other aspects. And these operations require a lot of preparation time, Bruce doesn't care, but he, Theon, doesn't have this time.
Missing this best opportunity, Remut would have to wait for many years to really rise.
So he called Pera over.
The beautiful snake was still dressed in tights, and Pera straightened her body, leaned over behind Theon and asked softly, "Boss, what are your orders?"
Theon said lightly: "Old Bruce has lived long enough, his eyes are dizzy, and his judgment is not as good as before. If such a person dies in his own house, what will everyone think?"
