Kale's statement is a good explanation and comfort for the worried Zolin and Yan Hokusai. No one wants Sun Lao to be in danger. So, Zuo Lin, who had returned to his normal life, continued to live as he was accustomed to, studying the notes sent by Sun Lao, while waiting for the information that Kalai said to arrive.

However, when what Kalai said gradually arrived, Zuo Lin was a little puzzled. It was as if he had accepted not an important position in an ancient and mysterious organization that had been passed down from generation to generation, but a job like a manager in a multinational company.

In the earliest druid councils, each position was represented by a creature, but this representation seemed general to most druids. For example, those responsible for organizing external reconnaissance and combat missions are generally indicated by the names of animals, among which the position occupied by the druids who are strongest in terms of combat skills is called "wolf", and because Sulla's position is "bear", he has a high status in the council.

Positions such as "wheat" that provides funds for the operation of the council and "hyacinth" who is responsible for liaison work are generally represented by plants that rely on organizational and social skills to run the council, and "hyacinths" who are responsible for liaison work...... And the original name of this office inherited by Zuo Lin was: Lion. Named after a leader like the lion, the job of this position is to lead the fighting forces of the council, to defend nature, to defend the council, to defend the existence of the druids as a powerful system of natural forces. Druids, the most combative are often animal druids, and plant druids are often more experienced in assistance and healing. I don't know what's going on, but it's the druid of the botanical department who inherits the position of "lion". You know, the Druid Council has been around for too long, and when the initial positions were formulated, there was no tradition of "the Minister of Defense being a civilian".

After so many years of inheritance, especially in the modern world, changes are quietly taking place within the Druid Council. The most obvious is that the name of the job title is gradually changing. The position "Lion" still has a special lion-shaped coat of arms and a seal for signing documents, however, the position is now named: Chief of Operations. It's ironic that this very modern job title is juxtaposed with the old heraldic seals and parchment affidavit.

But more exaggeration is yet to come.

The first person to come to Shanghai to report to Zuolin was John Maynard, Callai's attendant, Keynes, who brought with him six boxes of documents. These documents record all the actions of the Druid Council from its establishment to 1800. At that time, the transportation, history and humanities and other environments determined that the number of actions and the scope of activities of the Druid Council were still relatively limited, and those action pages were relatively small, except for the records of large-scale conflicts with some "special forces", there was nothing too interesting. So many druids with different nationalities, different levels of education, and different aptitudes have written strange reports. These records were copied and archived on parchment, and the originals were kept in an ancient castle.

While Zolin was reading these documents with great enthusiasm, Keynes got the second and third batches of documents. These documents cover records of operations from 1801 to 2000. As traffic conditions around the world continue to improve, and the conflict between man and nature is intensifying, the record of actions is becoming more and more complex. And from these documents, it can be seen that the internal documents of the Druid Council are becoming more and more standardized.

That's not all, but what came later was a bit unbelievable. Keynes actually brought a complete set of VI of the Druid Council. This set of things scared Zuo Lin out of his mind. Shenbao Football Club does not have such a strict and complete VI system, and I don't know how to implement this set of things within the Druid Council. Some manuals on operational considerations, combat training for new entrants to parliament, and so on, are less striking in comparison.

The most laughable thing is that Keynes actually brought a CD to Zuo Lin, which contains plug-ins and patches that support Druid language in the Windows XP environment, special document editing software for Druid language, input methods and fonts. In order to prevent irrelevant people from seeing, there are even special functions such as one-click switching background running. A computer that can freely switch between generic and spell druid environments is a nightmare.

If it's just that the internal management is relatively strict and there is a perfect system, then it is easy to understand that the Druid Council can last for so long, except for the common ideas and traditions, there is nothing else that is definitely not possible. However, in addition to being very principled, the internal system of the Druid Council can be said to be very loose, not only can it not be compared with the system of Yan Hokusai's Shennong Group, but even compared with the Shenbao Football Club to give them players who have never paid much attention to discipline, it is much more relaxed. However, it is such an organization, there is actually VI, and there is also an internal program group that has been developed. …… This world is amazing.

It is said that these are all made up one after another by people in the council who work in all walks of life, especially the peripheral members. The council itself doesn't have the imagination and money to do it in terms of technology and design.

Speaking of money, the income and expenditure records of the "Operations Department" for nearly 60 years, which have been sent along with the historical records, make people want to cry without tears. Due to Sun Lao's hiding, the work of the Operations Department has changed hands several times, and the funds in this regard have always relied on donations from peripheral members and subsidies from the council headquarters. The nominal deposit of the Operations Department was only 79 euros.

After carefully calculating his current income, Zuo Lin found that relying only on the club's salary income, winning bonuses, and winning streak bonuses seemed to be very insufficient. Now that the annual income of more than 2 million yuan, in addition to his usual living needs, let alone organizing actions, even if he maintains the daily contact with the outside world of the "Operations Department", the living expenses of these attendants and peripheral members who come here for temporary support will become a problem. If it weren't for Yan Hokusai temporarily taking out a sum of money to Zuo Lin, Zuo Lin would not even be able to buy a big enough house to fit those documents.

What's more, Zuo Lin has another plan in his heart. Sun Lao left his post and left the parliament for so many years, and the assets under his name did not make any contribution, and he only paid interest in the bank. Although there is no intrigue within the Druid Council, there are some complaints about the fact that everyone is squeezing out funds to maintain the expenses of the Operations Department. If possible, Zuo Lin would like to gradually repay the money that should have been paid by Sun Lao over the years. After all, this involves the impression of Sun Lao in the minds of others.

Although I don't know how many assets are about to arrive, I can deal with it temporarily, but what about the long-term? I can't always rely on the assets handed over by Sun Lao to deal with it. Zuo Lin, who lacked financial management concepts and skills, was at a loss.

Gu Mingyuan, the only lawyer Zuo Lin knows is him. Now, Gu Mingyuan is hired by Zuo Lin to deal with the transfer of assets. Gu Mingyuan happily accepted this matter. This kind of business is what Gu Mingyuan is good at and likes. Mainly paperwork, most of the work can be given to junior lawyers or even interns in the firm, who will also give them the opportunity to learn how to deal with cross-border legal documents. In addition, this kind of thing takes a lot of time, and the cost is naturally quite generous.

"I never thought you'd be so rich all of a sudden. Gu Mingyuan's words were already very reserved. Most of the assets transferred are real estate, stocks and bonds, and only a small part of the cash. Gu Mingyuan doesn't know much about the financial market, those stocks and bonds are all overseas assets, and there is no way to know the specific value, but even if this part is not counted, the real estate in Zuo Lin's name is now amazing. Many of the dwellings, lands, estates, and the like scattered in Europe and America are considered to be of cultural value, although they lack management, and many of the industries are relatively dilapidated, and considerable funds are required to maintain and renovate, but on the whole, the value of these land properties is considerable.

"I didn't know that Mr. Sun was so rich...... Zuo Lin bared his teeth and made a frightened and helpless grimace. "It was unexpected, Mr. Sun, to leave these to me, but the problem now is, according to you, although there are a lot of assets, there is not much that can be used?"

Gu Mingyuan nodded and said, "Real estate or something, find an experienced person to appraise it, it's not a big problem." Mainly all kinds of stocks and securities, warrants, many of which have been shelved for I don't know how many years have not been cashed, the value is not easy to estimate, and I am not familiar with this field. Stocks are more troublesome, it takes so long, there are a lot of stock splits, dividends, mergers and the like, there are a lot of legal things, although the economic law system in Europe and the United States is not what I am good at, but I still follow the legal things to the end. And you, it's better to find someone who has a little bit of research in economics and finance to deal with these things. Not only to revitalize all assets, but also to help you operate and invest assets in the future. I don't think you look like a person who can play football for a lifetime, play for a few years, and concentrate on business. ”

Zuo Lin nodded and said, "It's troublesome to have money." It's not that you tell me these days, I don't know what the relationship between capital assets is, and I don't know why I can't use it when I have so much money...... There are still a lot of things to trouble you in the future, Brother Gu. ”

Gu Mingyuan, who began to call Zuo Lin a brother, smiled and said, "If you knew how much money I could make from your business, you wouldn't call me Brother Gu so affectionate." ”

"A lot?" Zuo Lin wondered.

"After you finish this business, plus the follow-up affairs, basically our entire law firm can not take on any other business and rely on you as a client to support it. Personally, I'm too lazy to take on other businesses this year, and my income is about the same as the salary and bonuses your club gets combined. Gu Mingyuan did not shy away from talking about his income. "Basically, the cash you get is enough to pay our entire law firm for a year. Even for our own sake, I'll do my best to help you deal with these things, otherwise you won't even be able to pay my legal fees next year. ”

“…… Better. Zuo Lin said that he never thought that a lawyer's income could be so high.

"As a player, especially like you, the advertising revenue is very good. You can work harder, and you can pay legal fees with the income from playing football, and your current performance should be very high in advertising value. Gu Mingyuan teased. Now, Gu Mingyuan is almost Zuo Lin's exclusive lawyer, although he is not afraid of words and smiles, but it is his duty to think about Zuo Lin a little bit, and tell the truth.

"I don't know about this, it's all Teacher Sang who is helping me deal with it. ”

After Gu Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, he said, "You should report to the club next week?...... Now there are some rumors about you in the club. ”

"What rumors?" Zuo Lin remembered that Gu Mingyuan and his law firm were the legal counsel of Shenbao Football Club, and some news, especially from the top, was still very well-informed.

"You're doing so well. You can't erase your honor, but you can't change the league by yourself. It seems that some other clubs have joined forces to put pressure on Shenbao Football Club through the Football Association to limit your play. Coaches, they haven't been calling you or anything lately, I'm afraid it's because there is no consensus internally. ”

"If you want me to put the ball in the goal, I don't do that kind of thing. Zuo Lin was a little angry.

"How could it be. If there is such a decision, it is almost equivalent to the Football Association conniving at match-fixing, encouraging match-fixing, and manipulating the game. In any case, it is impossible to arrange it that way. Moreover, in fact, they don't dare to offend you much. Now, there is no doubt that you are the best goalkeeper in China, and there is probably no one in the world who is better than you, and it depends on you to guard the door of the national team. Gu Mingyuan sneered and said, "However, the opinions of so many clubs can't help but listen, and now the interests involved in you are too great." Not to mention, do you know how much money is in the prize pool in the underground ball market, betting on when you will be broken? It's almost 300 million. Even I want to collude with you to place a bet. It is normal for everyone to have all kinds of considerations, and the reaction was given to the Football Association, and the Football Association put pressure on Shen Bao, and it was impossible for the club to ignore it and dare not have any objections. The Football Association is a White Tiger Hall, if you dare to bring a knife in, it will stab you in Cangzhou. …… There is a saying in the club that you will be transferred to Europe to harm foreigners, but looking at your current situation, it is obviously unlikely that you will go abroad, aren't you still preparing to take the university entrance examination? If you can be sent abroad, it is estimated that the domestic club is now operating more actively than Shen Bao, and the bastard is really reversed. ”

Gu Mingyuan is not a fan or someone with a great sense of justice. In fact, once any fan like Gu Mingyuan can gain insight into the inside story, I am afraid that he will lose the courage to continue watching the game. And Gu Mingyuan's words inevitably made the situation fall silent and made Zuo Lin fall into deep thought.

"Anyway...... Now that I'm rich, I don't have to play football. After holding it for a long time, Zuo Lin said quietly.
