The name of the Louis family fleet sounds nice, but it is actually a private army and has a semi-independent nature. Because military spending has been insufficient for a long time, the Louis family fleet has a lot of autonomy and can do many things. In a sense, this is equivalent to a star thief with a noble license plate.
The most expensive thing in the fleet is actually people, and what Chu Jungui wants to buy is a starship. This batch of ready-made starships have high modification potential, and many of them are in very new condition. To put it bluntly, even if they are bought and dismantled into parts for research, they will contain a lot of technology that Chu Jungui cannot buy now. .
However, Chu Jungui is no longer an experimental subject who knows nothing. He understands that the reason why this fleet is attractive is because it bears the name of the Louis family. With this name, you can do many things. If people like Keith are fired, then Louis' name will definitely not be used anymore. After thinking about it, Chu Jungui always felt a little shortchanged.
As for whether you can afford it or not, that's not the problem. Buying the fleet does not require cash. Chu Jungui can pay for it with 1 light-year stock, which is sometimes equivalent to currency when it comes to purchasing large assets.
Evans didn't push him and waited patiently for Chu Jungui to answer. Anyway, no matter what answer Chu Jungui gives, he can tell the truth here, ensuring that the fleet can operate normally and Xino can be the commander safely for three months. As for three months later, what does it have to do with him? This is just a job. Just do the immediate things well without compromise. This is the correct work attitude. You don’t need to worry about the long-term things like working part-time. The boss chooses to work wisely and benefits from it. If the boss chooses unwisely, just change the boss.
Chu Jungui repeatedly thought about the pros and cons. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were too many variables and it was difficult to come up with a particularly good plan.
After pondering for a long time, Chu Jungui finally realized that there might not be a perfect solution to this matter, and he could only settle the matter at hand first. Maybe the current predicament was caused intentionally by Richard and Lucian, hoping that Xino would retreat in spite of the difficulties.
Although Xino is sometimes unreliable, after returning to the Louis family, he has become a nail in the enemy's mind. At least the Louis family will not officially come out to deal with Light Year, while Richard and Jane will have to deal with Xi Nuo. Nuo's constant provocations and attacks from within will divert a large part of his energy.
Therefore, support for Sino is necessary. Now it is time to see how to maximize the benefits. Chu Jungui did not want to contribute to the Louis family in vain.
Chu Jungui reorganized the task list of the family fleet and roughly came up with an idea. He said: "If the usage fee of the mobile base remains at the current level, then I don't think it is necessary to use this base anymore. The fleet can Resupply from our mobile base.”
Evans was stunned: "You also have a mobile base?"
The presence or absence of mobile bases is a sign that distinguishes large and small legions, which is why Evans was so surprised.
Unexpectedly, Chu Jungui replied: "No."
Evans felt relieved and a little amused. This young man obviously didn't have anything, but he spoke as if he already had it. This was very similar to Xino. But young people are inevitably vain and impulsive. Evans thinks it's understandable. Chu Jungui looks about the same age as himself, so he definitely doesn't have his own wisdom and maturity. When he thought this, the light on him became brighter.
Just as Evans' mood improved, he heard Chu Jungui say: "...but I can buy one."
You can really boast... Evans was shocked and felt powerless to complain.
At this time, Chu Jungui continued to say to Xino: "Apply to reduce the usage fee of the mobile base by half first. If the Presbyterian Council does not agree, this base will not be used. I will buy one or build one and rent it to you. In addition, I will If personnel rights are to be reduced, there must be at least the right to replace a certain proportion of crew members and the right to independently determine crew members’ salaries.”
As if you'd actually buy it... Evans suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.
Xino nodded repeatedly and wrote them down one by one. Next to him, Keith felt something was wrong, especially the last two, which gave him a chilling feeling down his spine. He quickly said: "I'm afraid this won't work. The appointment of crew members has always been decided by the family. As long as they are formal crew members in the establishment, even the lowest-level cleaners must have family orders before they can be appointed, dismissed or transferred."
Chu Jun returned and said, "I know, so I asked Xino to get this right back. Without this, how can we train you?"
Keith smiled apologetically and said: "No need, really no need! Even if this item is brought up, I'm afraid the superiors won't agree."
"I will agree. They can solve this small matter." Chu Jungui was referring to Evans.
Evans' smile suddenly froze. This matter can indeed be solved if the Winton family comes forward, but the question is why should it be solved? It's not good for the Winton family, nor is it good for him, Evans. Besides, Evans knows that Sino doesn't like him. Evans is just good-looking, not good-tempered.
But being pointed at by Chu Jungui, Evans was embarrassed to say that there was nothing he could do. If the Winton family didn't have any face at all, the champion knight wouldn't have driven directly into their base.
Evans gritted his teeth secretly, then nodded with a smile, showing an excellent demeanor.
Keith was helpless and said: "If we do this, the Presbyterian Church will probably cut our funding, which will not be worth the loss."
Chu Jun returned and said: "The Presbyterian Council also has a budget for fleet renewal and expansion, right? Go apply for it and send this budget to us. We will independently purchase starships and weapon systems."
Xino quickly wrote it down.
Keith sighed and said, "The Presbyterian Council will not agree..."
"It doesn't matter, they..." Chu Jungui wanted to point fingers at Evans again, but Evans quickly clarified: "I don't have the authority to do this, so I can't solve it!"
Evans came here to help Sino solve the current problem, and he didn't come to be Sino's father. The problem was just solved. How could he let Sino reap huge benefits?
"Can't it be solved?" Chu Jungui pondered for a moment, then pulled out the star map and thought about it intently.
Evans was afraid that Chu Jungui would come up with some weird ideas again, so he quickly said: "Actually, the basic problem has been solved. How about we discuss the training of the crew first."
"Wait a minute. If you don't get the human rights in hand, the training effect will not be very good." Chu Jungui meant very clearly. If he can neither be fired nor have his salary reduced, how will he manage this person?
Speaking of this, the old people suddenly no longer felt sleepy, and Evans looked radiant.
Evans continued with a smile: "You can train how you want to be trained. If you don't cooperate well, not only will you be punished, but it will also be very severe. You can try the methods of the recruit company. If someone dares not to cooperate, then Suppress him on the spot, double the punishment, and keep punishing him until he passes the test. Believe me, no matter who he is, no matter how stubborn his character is, he will never survive a week of scientific punishment."
Evans emphasized the word science.
Keith broke into a cold sweat when he heard this, and said quickly: "In this case, I'm afraid someone will complain."
"Don't worry, any complaints against me will not be accepted." Evans' smile was as warm as the sun at this moment.
The one-eyed old man also said: "We are good at training rookies, and we are even better at repairing thorns. If any thorn can survive three days, it means that his bones are really hard."
The one-eyed old man was talking about hardness in the physical sense.
The veteran researcher added: “We don’t know how to resolve complaints, but we do know how to resolve complaints.”
Keith started to break out in a cold sweat. Each of these three groups of people was weirder than the last, and each was more difficult to mess with. Now Chu Jungui is the only one who has not expressed his opinion... Keith was about to ask, but suddenly thought that Chu Jungui had already expressed his opinion, and his opinion was to lay off employees and reduce wages!
"This devil!" Keith thought through gritted teeth. Whether it was Evans or the old people, it was nothing more than corporal punishment at best. Keith had seen many of these people. As long as he followed their hair, did what they were told, and didn't go against them, then they would really do it. will be very good to you.
But Chu Jungui was different. He immediately rushed to lay off employees and cut wages. This was not giving people a chance to repent! Keith instinctively felt that this cold-blooded and cruel approach must be resisted, otherwise he might be the first to be laid off, or at least he would be the one who takes the lead in reducing salary.
Thinking of this, Keith quickly expressed his position: "Don't worry, I will supervise their training, and there will never be any thorns! If there are any, I will pull them out first!"
The old people didn't expect Keith's attitude to be so good, and they were surprised and deeply satisfied. Evans was originally indifferent, but now that the problem has been solved, he said, "Great, I don't have a problem anymore."
At this time, Chu Jungui had just recovered from his contemplation and said: "Sino, add the third item just now, apply for a special budget, and say that you will buy two new destroyers. How to buy them is up to the fleet to decide."
"Isn't this...not good?" Xino felt that this request was a bit too much.
"It doesn't matter, just submit it first. It won't take long for them to approve the budget." Chu Jun returned.
Now that Chu Jungui said so, Xino followed it seriously even though he didn't understand. This time Keith didn't need to speak. Even Evans couldn't stand it anymore and said, "This is really too much. Even if the Winton family came forward, they would not make such a request."
Chu Jungui thought for a while and felt that since there were no outsiders present, it would be better to explain, so he pulled out the star map. There are more than 20 locations marked on the star map, some are bases, some are routes, and some are directly planet names.
Chu Jungui said: "These locations are the mission targets of the fleet. Although the types of tasks assigned are different, there are patrolling resource planetary bases, protecting mobile bases, and ensuring smooth routes. Such tasks all have the same goal. , is to ensure the safety of these locations and ensure the smooth output of resources. Don’t forget that now is a dangerous period, war may break out at any time, and these targets are very close to the front line.”
Chu Jungui turned to Keith and said, "You can use your own way to gently remind the superiors that if you accept our plan, then these missions will be successful, and the Louis family will also have a powerful fleet of their own. If you don't accept it, then These missions...must fail."
Evans suddenly realized that this guy wanted to collect protection money!
