Chen Yan heard the confidence in Professor Lawyer's words, so he was in high spirits and replied:

"Just tonight? How about staying in the island chain for a day?"

Professor Lauyer responded:

"No problem. Research on octopuses doesn't happen overnight. If you're not in a hurry, I'll just stay at Dais Island for a day to see your friend."

Chen Yan grabbed Professor Lauye's hand:

"Then it's settled! Tonight at 10 o'clock! Let's go to the Mechanical Hive together!"

10 o'clock in the evening is the time that Klein and Chen Yan made an appointment to meet the director. Klein's illness will be treated at that time, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Chen Yan finished discussing with Professor Lauye and saw that the time was almost past seven o'clock, so he entrusted Big Wolf Ribot to take Professor Lauyer and his assistant to the Mechanical Hive for dinner, and then dialed Li Shoucheng on his new mobile phone.

phone number.

The call was connected, but Li Shoucheng's voice did not appear.

The loud sound coming from the phone speaker made Chen Yan feel like he was in a busy city.

Synaesthesia allowed him to understand the emotions contained in these sounds, so his brain began to simulate the environment where those noisy sounds existed, and soon he was able to simulate the environment on the other side of the phone to an exact degree——

This seems to be a hot pot restaurant opened on the street. The store is not big, but there are seven or eight dining tables. It is dinner time, and the hot pot restaurant is extremely noisy. There is a family out for dinner, and a couple are making love.

Young lovers, a bunch of students from vocational schools, white-collar workers who just got off work... Although the hot pot restaurant was extremely noisy, Chen Yan still keenly captured the four voices closest to the phone——

"The rumors this time are true. Our old business will no longer be able to continue."

Chen Yan realized something was wrong, so he turned on the recording function of his phone.

Four people with distinctive voices were having a conversation, one of them was Li Shoucheng, and the other three, Chen Yan, had not heard their voices.

"Impossible. Isn't Yanan City also within the empire? Business is still being done."

"The gangs in Yanan City are all honorable taxpayers, are you too?" This was Li Shoucheng's voice.

"Thirty percent stamp duty, 20% commodity tax, 10%, all paid in one round, plus the cost, even my mother will have to pay for it! I'll give him a shit to pay.

Does he want it?"

"Who did you hear this from? It's too outrageous."

"Yes, this rumor is a bit exaggerated. In fact, it is not that high. I have calculated that after paying in one round, we will still make a profit - at least three points of profit, which is less than before, but not less.

many."

"What's the benefit?"

"The good thing is that you can see the light now. You don't need to swipe your wife's credit card when you go out to buy things from now on. You can just swipe your own credit card."

"That's it?"

"And you don't have to worry about being caught by Barr Dacrorod every day and ending up like the gunpowder store. In the past, you worked for Barr Dacrorod, and Barr was your boss, protecting you; now you

If you work for the Empire, the Grand Master of the Chorus will be your boss.

But this boss is different from Barr Darkrod. He will not think of ways to kill you all day long. If you follow this boss, as long as you pay the boss a protection fee, the boss will really protect your safety - so

legal form.

You won't be like Barr Darkrod, even if you sell your life for him and make money for him, he will still want to kill you all day long."

"Yes, we can also be glorious taxpayers."

"Fart, you are a hammer, those shady businesses will no longer be possible, you use a hammer to pay taxes."

"If you fucking say that again, believe it or not, I will cut off your tongue and cook it in hot pot."

"Come and try."

"Okay! We're in for a fucking disaster! We still can't unite! If we can't unite this time, we'll have to be defeated one by one by Barr Darkrod and kill them all!"

"So?" This was Li Shoucheng's voice.

"So, I suggest that the four of us, as well as the small gangs that are attached to us, join together, pool our resources, open a company, and cut off the old business from the past - the part that is not allowed by law.

out, and then use the gang's huge manpower to develop new business.

In this way, we will expand the market and earn returns at a cost that is so small that it is almost nothing - the cheapest human resource cost.

Human resource costs have always been a large part of a company's development. With this advantage, no matter what we do, we will develop faster than other companies."
