As for the 3.5% increase in pensions every year, the base is already small, and maybe it can't escape inflation.

If the service period exceeds 20 years, it will only have an annual pension of US$9,100.

This little money is not bad for a 20- or 30-year-old.

But for Jim, who is over 40 years old and has three children, the quality of life has plummeted.

I can't continue to live in the assigned house and enjoy free medical care and free education. The gap is really big.

So, as soon as Kenny came to him, Jim agreed to his conditions without thinking much.

“Which city do you want to work in?”

Jim looked at Li Changheng in surprise. What this means is that the business of the young man in front of him is spread all over the United States?

"As long as you're not in Houston," Jim added for a few seconds after thinking, "I have three children.

Therefore, it is best to be a medium-sized city with good public security."

Lee Changheng smiled and said, "Richmond?"

Before Jim could answer, Dylan Robin, who had not spoken, said in surprise.

"Henry, I think it's definitely a great idea to get Norville to join the Panda Restaurant."

Lee Changheng ignored Dylan, but smiled and asked Jim in confusion, "If you don't have confidence in the middle management of a company.

You can work in the Panda Restaurant for inspection, mainly responsible for random inspections of restaurant hygiene, employee service attitude, etc.

The task is not heavy, and I actually hope you can be the captain of my private jet."

"Private jet?"

Jim looked at Lee Changheng in shock, "What type of aircraft?"

"707-320", Li Changheng thought about it and asked, "Have you found a job with the other two astronauts who returned to Earth?"

Jim thought for a while, “I believe Jack and Fred must be interested in a high-paying job.

However, they are different from me.

Because I don’t have family concerns, I can’t guarantee that they will be planning to retire like me.”

Speaking of this, Jim added with some regret, "And they would definitely rather serve for another three years and wait until they have 20 years of service before they consider finding a new job."

Li Changheng nodded in understanding. After serving for 20 years, if he retired, he would only receive his pension as early retirement.

Instead of like Jim, 0.7 has to be multiplied by 0.4, which means you only get a pension of 0.28.

"What if I just hire them as my consultants and form an advisory group with you?"

Speaking of this, Li Changheng added, "When you were my consultant, your monthly salary was US$5,000.

If I could successfully board Apollo 14, then each of you would have a bonus of twice the monthly salary.”

"You, you said it seriously, really?"

Jim's mouth twitched with excitement.

A basic salary of 5,000, and the best result is that each person’s monthly salary is US$15,000.

Calculate the plan of NASA, which is the Space Agency, that Apollo 14 will be launched at Kennedy Base in Florida in January 1971.

It's August 23rd now.

September to January is five months, and each person can get 75,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to everyone's salary of 5.5 years.

With this money, all the three of them can move from Houston to other cities, away from those sympathetic and regretful gazes.

“I need to call, boss.”

Li Changheng smiled, nodded at Lieutenant Colonel Scott, and then watched Jim leave with brisk steps.

This is what General Kenny Robin said, "General, what price should I pay to directly obtain the guarantee of boarding the Apollo 14 spacecraft if any of my assessments passes?"

Kenny frowned and shook his head, "Henry, I want to say I can do it, but the truth is that no one can give you such a guarantee.

All I can say is that if you give, you will have a greater chance of getting it than others.

And you won't be treated with biased eyes by management and testers just because you are the seventh trained astronauts."

Li Changheng sighed helplessly.

Some things cannot be changed by money.

However, if you don’t spend money, you will definitely be targeted. After all, no one likes people who go to the line.

He lowered his head and whispered in Kenny's ear, "There will be a million dollar bag in the storage locker at Richmond Bus Station.

After using it, I will give me a satisfactory answer and a second bag will appear.

Then, as long as I can board the spacecraft.

I believe you and Dylan will be willing to be the general agent of Panda Restaurant in a big city in Virginia, right?"

Kenny smiled, it was safer and longer than just getting cash directly, and it only takes ten restaurants, and the income in two or three years will not be less than a million dollars.

“Any city that can open at least ten restaurants besides Virginia Naval Base and Family District?”

Lee Changheng smiled and nodded, "If I were you, I would choose Richmond."

Kenny nodded after only thinking for a dozen seconds.

The naval base has a population of nearly 200,000, and it has already supported eleven panda restaurants.

Richmond has a population of more than 260,000, and there is no problem in opening ten companies.

Even if you choose a good store, there will be no problem with fifteen stores.

Moreover, the semi-finished food processing factory is in Richmond City.

It is more convenient and mature market, so don’t worry about encountering various problems when opening up new markets.

"Leave it to me."

Kenny said seriously, "I believe in pilots and test pilots who are affiliated with the National Guard, the Air Force and various aircraft test flight bases.

In the next few months, we will face various routine flight missions."

After saying that, Kenny smiled and said, "Henry, you'd better be strict with yourself in the past few months and use the most perfect state to welcome various physical and psychological tests."

Li Changheng laughed when he heard this.

For routine missions, you can use ace pilots, or use safety and other reasons to require the ace to fly.

Test pilots are probably a profession in the world that is more dangerous, more stressful and more risky than astronauts.

Astronauts who were under great pressure would be tortured by work because of the failure of Apollo 13.

People with strong hearts will definitely be able to adjust, but some people will also have greater psychological burdens and will experience various fatigue and depression.

"Perhaps we can provide some funds to pilots at various bases to give them the opportunity to relax with parties, alcohol and girls?"

"Henry, I like your idea."

Kenny laughed and patted his arm, "Don't worry, we know what the people below need.

I also know what illegal things they often do without hiding from the above.”

Li Changheng smiled and waved to the blade, and told him about putting the money in the storage locker at the Richmond Bus Station.

Then he looked at Kenny.

Kenne thought for a few seconds, looked at his son Dylan, and Scott who was coming back with Jim.

In the end, I chose not to let Dylan participate in any violations.
