Zero has been very active in recent days.
Since the celebration banquet that night was over, he has received invitations from many lower nobles. And he attended all these activities, and worked hard to attract these nobles to become his investors for his dream blueprint. Of course, not all nobles are willing to invest in upstarts like Zero, but there are still some wily nobles who spend some movable funds to invest in Zero's business.
In order to prepare the company's affairs, Beyoncé provided Zero with a staff team consisting of accountants, project managers and developers. But these people are not first-line talents, and this team lacks a leader. Zero thinks he is good at fighting, but when it comes to leading such a team, he is very inexperienced. Therefore, Zero's top priority now is that in addition to determining the company's stronghold, he also needs to find himself a clerical talent who can coordinate all aspects of work.
Speaking of such a person, Theon is the first thing Zero thinks of. Theon has been the chairman of the trade union in Remut for so many years, and he has unparalleled experience in the management of the entire base. If he is willing to help Zero, at least Zero will not have to worry about internal affairs.
Theon is now working as a clerk in the Asgard council under Ben's care. This position is not high and powerful, but it is enough for Theon to use his spare heat. It's just that Zero heard that Theon is very decadent now, and it seems that he hasn't recovered from Remut's destruction.
Zero would definitely want to talk to Theon, but not yet, the person he needed to talk to now was Ben. Because only with Ben's approval, Zero can get the stronghold his company needs.
Cossacks, former military base. It is currently in a state of almost total destruction. If it was in the past, Ben would naturally not agree to handing over such an important base to Ling. After all, inside the base, the data of an important biochemical experiment in the old era are stored. But now the Cossacks have almost turned into a marsh, except for some areas of the second floor base that can still be used, the rest are no different from ruins.
Zero is sure to win this stronghold, and the facts have proved that he is right. When he said what he wanted, Ben readily agreed to his request. But the base cannot be given for free, so Zero must pay a rent of one million a year. This is very reasonable. After all, the water purification unit in the second-floor base alone is enough to supply thousands of people, not just a million per year.
In addition, Ben also provided Lingyi with a sponsorship fund of tens of millions, of which eight million was a loan allocated from Asgard's financial expenditure. The remaining two million is the private investment funds. Zero is very grateful for this, everything is difficult at the beginning, now Zero Kong has a whole body of enthusiasm, and besides a few partners who stand on the same front, it can be said that he has almost nothing.
But with the support of the Black Rose family and Ben, he can already see the embryonic form of his company.
"I heard that you met Beyonce. Her mother is a beautiful woman. She should not be bad looking."
On the top floor of the Twelve Main God Hall, Ben Chao Ling handed over a cup of red wine and asked with a smile.
Zero replied honestly: "She was covered with a veil, so I couldn't see her appearance clearly. Besides, it would be very impolite to deliberately look at her appearance, wouldn't it?"
Ben laughed loudly and said: "I can see, that old guy Reedus taught you well. I would have dismissed these etiquettes when I was young. At that time, the ideal was to have wine and girls. It can be soaked. Other than that, let the sky fall down as a quilt."
Zero laughed when he heard the words, and felt Ben's sincerity. This old man in a high position did not raise his airs because of his status, but he still took good care of himself like he first met in the wilderness.
Next, Ben made some suggestions for the company that Zero wanted to set up. For a person like him who has created a great foundation, every suggestion is precious. Zero immediately pricked up his ears and remembered what Ben said one by one.
Starting from scratch is a huge project. What's more, Zero's ultimate goal is not a company, but an empire, which requires incalculable resources and effort. However, if a tall building is built on the ground, Ling knows that in order to build a tall building, the foundation must be well laid. Be it Asgard, or Ben and Beyoncé, in the final analysis, it's a zero-diving platform.
With their resources, Zero gets a higher starting level. But he will break away from them and be higher than them in the end!
However, before that, what he has to do is to humbly absorb all the knowledge and experience that can build the inner kingdom. So the old and the young talked for nearly two hours. During this period, many of Ben's words had a crucial impact on the future development of Zero, and also established Zero's transformation from a simple soldier to a lord and even an emperor. transition quietly.
This transformation does not happen overnight, but requires a subtle process. But at least psychologically, Zero has learned to consider things more comprehensively and rationally.
At the end of the conversation, Ling's bank account had 20 million ready-to-use capital reserves, and talents and resources were continuously being pooled. Thanks to Ben's consent, the temporary management documents of the Cossacks base were approved at a frightening speed. From a piece of paper falling into Zero's hands, it indicates that this former military base will be owned by Zero in the next ten years. This is the first territory owned by Zero, although the territory is not large.
"By the way, Zero, there is one more thing I think I need to tell you."
When Zero was about to say goodbye and leave, Ben stopped him, shook his glass and said thoughtfully: "A little guy named Berrien got into trouble, and he is now being detained by the city defense team. Because he also participated in activities." The soldier in the Battle of the Corpse King City is considered to have military merits, so the city defense team did not deal with him immediately, but reported to the headquarters. The old guy Cario told me again, I think you should want to see him .”
Zero was a little surprised, and asked, "What trouble did Berrien get into?"
Ben said: "It's nothing, it's just that he killed his compatriot brother. However, the city defense team investigated the cause of the incident and found that the boy named Arendt who was killed had done something to Berrien's only sister Anna before that." Some bad things happen. The girl has been sent away by her father at present, and it is estimated that there is a lot of bad luck. And Berrien's father is willing to release him on bail, but the problem now is that Berrien himself is not willing to be released on bail."
"Okay, I'll go see him." Zero nodded.
"I heard that he is already a seventh-level elemental domain ability user, zero, this is a talent, at least in terms of destruction." Ben said.
In this regard, Zero agrees with Ben. When it comes to destruction, Berrien's ability far surpasses himself, even Su. It's just that Su is good at destroying single targets, while Berrien is good at regional combat, there is a difference between the two. However, it would be a good idea to absorb Berrien into his team.
In Zero's current team, there is still a lack of ability users like Berrien who can rival mobile turrets.
