Richard Rob's house is full of chicken feathers, but it has no effect on Li Jie.
To his surprise, the first to come the good news was Inside Biopharmaceuticals in Bakersfield, the Central Valley. He finally had to take a break from his leisurely days and rush to this small and medium-sized city in the southern tip of California with Gus and the others. With a population of just a few hundred thousand, Bakersfield has grown rapidly since the discovery of large oil fields in the Kern River Basin in 1899 as a trading center for oil, gas and subtropical irrigated agriculture.
In the suburbs of Bakersfield, Inside occupies a very large piece of land, with offices and laboratories all in one place, and Li Jie is quite satisfied when he sees it - there is enough space to build a new experimental base. In the end, Li Jie got the purchase price of 86 million US dollars, which is a happy figure, so the handover between the two sides is relatively pleasant.
The company's president, John Allen Dawson, a typical middle-aged white man with shaggy hair and a big belly, gathered all the employees for sale, introduced the new boss in a few words, and left with a dashing pat on the butt. Li Jie tried to keep it, but he refused, it seems that this guy is determined to take the money and leave.
Fortunately, these are not hindered by the overall situation, and the overall structure of the company is still retained. However, these employees are naturally worried when they see the young Li Jie, and they are inevitably discussed, and they may be a little worried about whether they can keep their jobs. Of course, the former boss Fat John will naturally swear, but it is estimated that he will not get too many votes of confidence.
This simple meeting was held in the lobby on the first floor of the company, and anyway, there were only more than 300 employees including security guards, which was just enough to fit.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I think most of you know me, after all, it's half a peer. Even if you don't know me, you've probably heard my name. Introduce yourself, your new boss, Bruce Lee. Li Jie stood on the makeshift stage, holding up the microphone to speak the opening remarks, and after introducing himself, he consciously paused for a moment. Most of the employees sitting below watched coldly, and only a few people subconsciously wanted to applaud, and when they saw the reaction of the people around them, they put their hands down with some embarrassment.
"There should be applause here." Faced with a somewhat embarrassing cold scene, Li Jie didn't feel embarrassed at all, and gently nodded his chin at everyone.
There was some commotion in the crowd sitting below, and finally someone couldn't help but laugh.
"It's good, everyone should have been in the state just now, so it's much better, and it finally makes me feel the enthusiasm of the company." Li Jie applauded lightly. The atmosphere is like this, and it will be much more active if a group of people drive it.
"Mr. Li, will you lay off employees? Will wages be cut? Someone took the opportunity to ask questions.
"What? Are you kidding? I'm Bruce Lee, and that's how you see the new boss? No, I'm not going to lay off people, and I can't wait to give everyone a salary increase right away, because that means you've helped me make money! Li Jie's expression was surprised, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
These people seemed to have been reassured, and they applauded to welcome the new boss, some of them even whistled, and some young girls gave flying kisses. The Americans are still very open-minded, and just now it is clear that they are just confused about the new boss's behavior, and they are silent with many worries.
"Keep it up, that's the right mood. The girl who kissed you, you did a good job, but unfortunately there is no bonus. Li Jie laughed out loud and spread his hands with pretended regret. The young girl cooperated and shouted, "I don't mind!" He also threw a wink at him. Tsk, the bold style of American women can't help but make Li Jie a little nostalgic for the witches of another world.
Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, Li Jie continued: "We are engaged in creative work, I will not ask you to look at it at all times, and even in private you can call me Bruce." I've always believed that a harmonious atmosphere is more conducive to productivity. Of course, provided that you don't make mistakes, now tell me, have any of you made an unforgivable mistake? ”
Of course, no one will take such a topic, but Li Jie doesn't care. "I don't care if I make a mistake, after all, it was before I showed up. I am a very fair and generous person, and I am rewarded for my good work, and I am punished for my mistakes. So, from now on, you have to be careful not to give me a chance to trouble you, even if you have the ability to take the bonus out of my pocket. ”
"You're not going to have a chance, Bruce." "Get the bonus ready." It's really daring.
Li Jie pointed at them: "I hope you will do what you say." Let's talk about the things that everyone is most concerned about, I'm afraid that you will not be employees of Inc. in the future. That's right, the acquisition of Incside is just my first step, and when the other companies are in place, they will merge into a new company, and then you will all be part of the new company, and this will also be a Bakersfield branch or laboratory. Every employee will be able to stay in the new company, and more people will join the new group, which will be a completely different beginning. I promise that as long as you work hard, your income will be higher than it is now. So, again, don't give me a chance to trouble you, I hope you come to me, all to receive bonuses. Meeting. ”
This time, the applause was finally the most enthusiastic, and the young new boss seemed to be not bad, and many people thought so in their hearts. Of course, it is not excluded that there are still people who are skeptical and look on coldly. In fact, Li Jie doesn't care too much, he just temporarily reassures people's hearts, as long as there is money, there are more people. And for those employees who want to mess around, or who have little value, Mistress Mephisto has a hundred ways to concoct them.
In the office of the president of Inc., which is about to become history, Li Jie met Ray Stein. March took him all the way to Los Angeles and followed in the footsteps of Lee Kit to Bakersfield.
"See you again, it seems that you are not doing well in this world." Li Jie leaned back in the wide boss chair, his legs high on the desk, and he felt good.
Ray Stein's condition was similar to what he had estimated, the power of the newborn demons in this world was slowly increasing, and the improvement brought by the weak constitution of humans was minimal even if they were devoured, not to mention hiding from the eyes and ears of the police and the military.
"Yes, my lord, I don't fit in with the world." Ray, who was still thinking about escaping in front of March, became as well-behaved as a mouse after seeing Li Jie, and the majesty of the other party as vast as an abyss made him immediately understand - this is a real big man, or it is better to put away those careful thoughts.
"But you're lucky, I'm short of people right now, and your abilities are just right." Li Jie nodded, he just needed manpower to capture those newborn demons and expand his demon army.
"Your will is everything." Lei obediently lowered his forehead and let Li Jie complete the soul ritual. From now on, another new subordinate will be under Li Jie's command, and all his actions will be under Li Jie's control.
"The human world has its own specific laws, and they should not be easily destroyed. So you have to keep a low profile and expand your team in the shadows, and I hope to see results as soon as possible. If you need any resources, or if you have more than you can do, contact March. Remember – try not to attract too much attention. "The Soul Ritual allows the lower demons to share some of the power of the Dominant, which is a comprehensive reinforcement for the current thunder calculation, which should be enough to deal with most situations.
"Yes, my lord." Ray saluted respectfully and exited the office. In a hectic company, his comings and goings did not attract the attention of others.
For the current Li Jie, this is a seed he planted. And the demons that continue to appear all over the world are a constant supply of nutrients. I just don't know if my old friends have also come to this world?
"You're doing a great job, March." Li Jie turned his head and said to March who had always stood respectfully and solemnly. After following him for a while, the Giant Helmet Demon has finally begun to learn to restrain his demonic nature, at least without worrying about letting him out of control.
"Glory to the Lords." March bowed his head and responded respectfully.
"Very well, now you can be on your own. For a long time, we didn't have enough people, so I want you to be in charge of the new security company, and once the new company is established, all the labs will have to be completely under our own control. I've asked Archibald to arrange it, and he'll arrange someone to help you, can you do it well? Li Jie's tone was flat, and he ordered without question.
"All for the sake of adults!" March fell to his knees, a look of frenzy in his eyes. The nature of the lower demon is violent and ferocious, and in his opinion, this is the first step in the expansion of Lord Mephisto in this world.
