Chapter 139 Internal Meeting
The customer flow of the Super Dream Experience Store has basically stabilized. It will no longer be as deserted or completely full as before, but will maintain a relatively balanced state.
The store clerks don’t have to worry about no one coming, and the customers don’t have to worry about not having a seat.
Seeing Chen She arrive, the new store manager hurried over to greet him: "Mr. Chen."
Chen She nodded, signaling everyone to continue working as usual and not to worry about him.
Now Lishan Technology's experience store has opened several branches, so Zhou Lei was naturally promoted to the person in charge, responsible for the management of all physical industries of Lishan Technology in Liming City.
Since he has been promoted, the original manager of this experience store will naturally be replaced.
Moreover, Zhou Lei's strength improved rapidly, so he was transferred back to the headquarters to participate in daily battles this time. Managing an experience store was a bit of an overkill for Zhou Lei.
The new store manager is also a resistance fighter. He was promoted from among the original store employees, all of whom are the most trusted backbone of the resistance.
Without Zeng Hailong and his group, the experience store seemed a lot quieter.
Chen She came to the experience store and sat down on the sofa as usual, and habitually picked up the materials next to him and started carving.
Although he is still troubled by too many things, whether it is the affairs of the Dawn City Councillor, the affairs of the Field Base or the affairs of the Space-Time Knights, they are all busy enough for him, but before all this busyness, Chen She still can't help but want to carve something to make himself calmer.
"Huh? Master!"
A familiar voice came, Chen She looked up and saw that it was indeed Ji Yongkang.
Su Zhiyong still didn't go with him. Apparently things had been uneasy in Liming City recently, and Su Zhiyong was probably under house arrest again.
Hey, why do you say "again"?
Ji Yongkang moved a little closer. Although he still kept a distance from the "Master", his concern was still evident in his words: "Master, I heard that the space-time activities outside are particularly intense? Is the field base of Lishan Technology okay?"
Chen She nodded slightly: "Well, I just encountered a little problem, which has been solved."
Ji Yongkang let out a long sigh: "That's good, that's good."
"Master, you don't know that Liming City has been in chaos recently!"
"Many of my classmates are planning to leave Dawn City with their families and go to the Central Federal District. Many of them have already booked their flights!"
"After all, the entire core area of Dawn City has been attacked. This place is no longer safe. No one knows when the Space-Time Knights will attack again..."
"Right now, the wealthy areas of Liming City are in a state of panic, but the situation in this area is relatively stable."
"My family was also in a big fight and wanted to leave Liming City, but in the end we decided to stay. After all, all our family's businesses are in Liming City. If we really move to another city, we will just eat up all the wealth."
Obviously, Ji Yongkang's family background cannot be compared with those of real tycoon children.
Even for ordinary medium-sized consortiums, their business is often cross-continental, and they can leave Liming City at any time if they want to. However, all the business of small consortiums is around Liming City, so they are reluctant to leave even if they want to.
Chen She nodded: "Relax, maybe Liming City will get better and better after this incident."
Ji Yongkang obviously didn't know that the culprit of the terrorist attack on Liming City was right in front of him. He thought Chen She was just comforting him, so he just nodded silently.
Chen She stood up and said, "Well, it's almost time for Lishan Technology to enter the next stage."
Ji Yongkang couldn't help but get excited when he heard this: "Huh? Are we going to start developing a new Mewtwo?"
Chen She smiled slightly: "About the same."
…
…
Thursday, August 28th.
Lishan Science and Technology Field Base.
Chen She looked around and saw that all the top leaders of the resistance army had arrived, so he continued his report as usual.
Zhao Zhen first said: "Captain, the infrastructure construction at the field base is going smoothly. The damaged parts of the base have been repaired. At the same time, we are continuing to expand the base according to the previous plan."
"The resources that the Icefield Defense Group provided as compensation have not been moved for the time being. It is up to you, the captain, to decide how to use them."
Zhang Sirui took over the conversation: "At present, the brothers' daily training has been completely put on track. The fact that they were able to withstand the Icefield Defense Group's troops last time is enough to prove that our training is effective."
"Currently, the veterans are training the new fighters, and the results are remarkable. The new recruits who just joined the resistance are also integrating very well."
"In this way, the number of our resistance army is finally no longer the same as before, with only consumption and no growth."
Chen She nodded slightly. This was certainly good news for the rebels and also the news he wanted to hear the most!
If you want to get things done, it ultimately depends on people. No matter how many resources you have, they cannot be used without people.
Previously, the biggest problem of this rebel army was not that they had no money or weapons, but that their reserve troops could not be replenished. Every battle would result in the loss of some of their elite rebel fighters.
Chen She is not a god of war who can win every battle without losing any soldiers. Over time, the number of people in this resistance army will decrease , and eventually it will be doomed to failure.
But now, after layers of screening, the resistance army can finally absorb reserve forces from the lower-class people in Dawn City and the wanderers in the wild. This can be said to be a qualitative change for the resistance army.
Of course, Chen She also included the resistance fighters who died in the battle this time into the "other shore". As long as the time is right, he can find real bodies for them again.
Zhang Sirui continued, "In addition, the changes in space-time activities have caused the living environment of the wanderers to deteriorate dramatically. It is probably impossible for them to survive by scavenging in the wild and collecting space-time particles as before."
"So, I'm also trying to win over the leaders of these wanderers and turn them into peripheral members of our Lishan Technology. On the one hand, I can tie them to our chariots and help us do things that are inconvenient to do. On the other hand, I can also find suitable candidates among these wanderers and have them join us."
"However... the only question is how long this abnormal space-time activity can last."
What he meant was that if this space-time activity lasted for a long time or continued forever, these wanderers would not be able to return to their previous lives, because they could not survive solely relying on the power of their own settlement when space-time activities were so frequent.
But if this space-time activity ends soon, these wanderers will definitely not be willing to rely on Lishan Technology. After all, the reason they become wanderers is because they yearn for freedom and do not want to become vassals of any consortium.
Although Lishan Technology is fundamentally different from other conglomerates, how could these wanderers know?
Chen She nodded and said, "This time-space activity is likely to last for a long time. You should hurry up and do this. It doesn't have to be limited to the wanderers around our base. The scope can be expanded appropriately."
"Before other big financial groups react, we will try to take the initiative and grab more people."
Others were not clear about the cause of this space-time activity, but Chen She knew it very well.
It's all Epsilon's fault!
Because the cause is different from the past, this time-space activity will inevitably last for a long time.
While other consortiums are still waiting for the space-time activities to end, Lishan Technology has already begun to plan around the changes in the environment, and of course it can take a step ahead.
Li Yunhan said: "Captain, regarding the game "The Ultimate Happiness is Building", the current situation of Mewtwo is also very good!"
"Although the official version still has mediocre data despite many official recommendations, Black Mewtwo is selling very well, even exceeding the sales of the regular version of Mewtwo."
"At present, our Black Mewtwo has occupied almost half of the Black Mewtwo market in the entire Dawn City. Of course, we have to thank DCPD for its previous series of crackdowns on Black Mewtwo, which caused the Black Mewtwo market in Dawn City to fluctuate violently, with a decrease in supply and an increase in prices. This also gave us a great opportunity to exert our strength in the Black Mewtwo market."
"Captain, can we start developing a new Mewtwo?"
Looking at Li Yunhan's expectant eyes, Chen She was speechless.
All you do every day is develop new Mewtwo! Can't you think of something else?
He was silent for a moment before saying, "There's no rush for the new Mewtwo. I do have a preliminary idea, but I still have to wait until everything else is finalized before making any arrangements."
"Yesterday, Liu Zhilin had the final news. Although the chief councillor of Liming City did not get the position directly, he still successfully obtained the quota of a first-level councillor, and he is a first-level councillor with a jurisdiction and real power."
"As long as you perform well and meet the standards after comprehensive evaluation of factors such as tax revenue and public security in the jurisdiction, you can naturally become the chief councillor in the future."
"As for the cross-regional arms sales license, we successfully obtained it."
"That is to say..."
Lu Xingan paused for a moment and said, "We may be able to sell weapons to the Western Continent in the future."
Everyone couldn't help but be cheered up.
Cross-regional arms sales license!
This is a vital matter for all the rebels, because everyone knows that the arms business is the most profitable business in the old land, and it can even be said that there is no other business like it!
Although emerging industries such as Mewtwo are considered top industries, in a chaotic place like the Western Continent, no matter how well Black Mewtwo sells, it will never be as good as arms.
After all, no matter how good something is, without a gun, it is just prepared for others.
Zhang Sirui said: "It's just right. With this license, we can provide some material support to the resistance brothers in the Western Continent."
However, Zhao Zhen shook his head: "The resistance army in the Western Continent is much larger than ours. Is it our turn to support them? Moreover, our current situation is not very good. We should take care of ourselves first and make more money by buying arms."
"Once you have strength, you can talk about other things."
