Chapter 202: One Hundred Years of Shocking Lex
Walking out of the subway station, Depp took Lex to the Depp Building.
At the entrance of the building, Wei Lun personally went out to greet him.
Lex looked at Velen, who was exactly the same as the crocodile kid, and looked at Depp with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Wei Lun said with ease: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Luther, I'm just a die-hard fan of the crocodile kid, it's my habit to go to work like this every day, which is also the style of Depp Group." You don't have to stick to anything, you don't have to care about the eyes of others, you are what we need. ”
Hearing this, Lex said in a complimenting tone, "I like your style here, uninhibited, unique, a word that will never come out of my father's old head. ”
However, although Lex was polite, he didn't believe Wei Lun's words in his heart.
He had already decided that the crocodile boy was the true face of Velen!
He knew a lot of girls who were keen on cosplay, but he had never seen a cosplay so realistic and so flawless!
Entering the Depp Building, Lex was immediately attracted by the atmosphere.
Obviously, Depp is a very busy place.
Few people working here are able to fish and catch trouble, and most of them are in full swing carrying out their work.
In the hall, many people in overalls were walking like a fish, but to Lex's surprise, the people here were busy, but they were not restless.
Yes, unlike their own business, Depp employees do not have an expression of anxiety and impatience on their faces, no matter how busy they are.
Not even a single frowning person.
This is something that Lexluth cannot comprehend!
In his eyes, keeping the company's employees busy is definitely a good thing.
But with busyness comes urging, which in turn produces feelings of anxiety and irritability.
Eventually, it may even cause conflicts between employees, resulting in quarrels or even brawls.
But the Depp Group in front of him did not have any tension at all.
Depp quickly observed the change in Lex's expression, and he explained: "Are you wondering about the working atmosphere here? ”
Lex nodded and asked, "They seem busy, but they are not agitated at all, which is beyond my comprehension. ”
Depp walked towards the elevator of the building and said: "Yes, this is because our company never deliberately squeezes employees, we only need employees to do the specified things at the specified time, even if they don't finish it today, they don't need to work overtime, and they just need to continue to work tomorrow." ”
Lex asked incredulously, "But... Won't this cause employees to collectively fish and stop working seriously every day? I know all too much about human inertia! ”
Depp nodded noncommittally and said, "Indeed, in the absence of discipline, inertia is indeed terrible. Therefore, the most important criterion for recruiting people is that they need to truly love their work. ”
"Love?" Lex was a little puzzled.
"That's right, only love can make a person take the initiative to work."
"For example, almost all the people who join the main company are loyal fans of the "Batman", "Iron Man", and "Spider-Man" series. The people who join the Botanical Research Institute are all enthusiasts in the field of botany. Almost all of the people who join the Institute of Life and Cryonics are obsessed with these two fields. ”
"And when the whole company has developed an atmosphere of "working hard during working hours and living happily after work", newcomers will naturally be driven by the atmosphere."
Hearing this, Lex said in disbelief: "It's that simple? ”
Depp nodded and added, "Of course... I pay them twice as much as the market. ”
Lex covered his head helplessly: "I see! ”
After visiting the Depp Building, Depp took Lex to have lunch in the company cafeteria, and then the three left again.
Before leaving, Wellen added Lex's social accounts.
In the future, the cooperation between Depp Group and Luthor Group will still be fully responsible for Wellen.
Outside the Depp Building, Lecks looked back.
In addition to the Depp Building, there is also the majestic back of Wellen fading away.
Lex couldn't help but sigh: "Depp, I have to say, you have a great agent, this crocodile is definitely one of the most business-minded people I have ever met." I envy you for having such a loyal and capable subordinate. ”
"Indeed, Welen is the best person I've ever met. He was not only my subordinate, but also my friend, my brother. And also... How do you know he's a crocodile? ”
Lex glanced at Depp and said, "I'm not an idiot, I didn't call him a crocodile kid, it's enough to be restrained." ”
Depp laughed when he heard this: "Haha, Laux, you are really the smartest person on this planet, if you stay in Gotham for a few more days, I may have no secrets in front of you." ”
"I don't think I'll ever find out your secret, you give me a little bit of a feeling... It's unpredictable. Lex said.
"I wish it were."
Facing Lex Luthor, who has ninth-level intelligence, even Depp is not sure what the future holds.
After this, Depp took Nexus to Gotham City Council.
On the top floor of the government building, Depp knocked on the door of the mayor's office.
Because he was facing the mayor of Gotham City this time, Lex carefully sorted out his clothes, so that the mayor, Mr. Oswald Kobert, could see his most perfect posture.
After all, the well-known mayor of Gotham, whether in Gotham City or in the United States, has a lot of topicality.
This person who once made Gotham, the capital of crime, have a crime rate that has dropped to the lowest in the United States again, can already be said to be a legend.
Even, in the eyes of many people, Oswald is already a strong contender for the next president.
And Lecks believes that even if Oswald loses the presidential race, he will still be a political figure who will leave a strong mark on American history.
What's more, after Lecks' previous investigation, he found that the real rise of the Depp group is almost inseparable from the mayor's ascension.
He suspects that the big man behind the Depp Group is the mayor of Gotham.
But when Lex looked at Depp with his peripheral vision, he was surprised to find that Depp didn't feel nervous at this time.
He was even a little relaxed and casual, and the expression on his face was no different from before.
Lex's face remained unchanged, but he kept complaining in his heart:
"It's strange, shouldn't this guy be more respectful when he meets the big boss behind him?"
"When you see the big people above you, try to keep a relaxed posture? Maybe this is a custom peculiar to the Gotham people, but I have to say, it's really weird. ”
Thinking of this, Lex also made his expression a little more relaxed.
After all, what he is about to meet is the legendary mayor of Gotham City, a strong contender for the next American ZT, and...... The king of the underworld of Gotham City and Mexico.
Seconds later, the door to the mayor's office creaked open, and a well-dressed Oswald stood respectfully by the door.
Depp strode into the mayor's office with Lex, and Oswald immediately closed the door.
Just when Lex wanted to greet the young legendary mayor of Gotham, Oswald was the first to open his mouth: "Mr. Depp, you haven't come to see me for a few days, are you still satisfied with the acquisition of those guys' properties some time ago?" ”
Depp nodded and said, "You did a great job, Oswald, to be honest, I didn't expect any of this." ”
"It's my pleasure to help you get things done before you even think about it." Oswald walked up to Depp, bent his arms to his chest, and bowed respectfully: "After all, without you, there would be no Oswald now." ”
In this scene, Lekes's head was a little short-circuited.
The famous mayor of Gotham, Oswald Kobert... Why does it look like a licking dog now?
Damn, I got the relationship wrong before!
It seems that this guy Depp is the big boss behind Oswald!
But... Depp Group is obviously a new company that has only risen in the past one or two years, and Depp is not a family child with an ancient heritage.
Depp's family is obviously an ordinary antique dealer who has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is still the kind that specializes in selling fakes!
But now... Lex felt that he had to re-evaluate Depp as a person.
Depp's ability to go from almost self-made to the point where Oswald is now the leader of the horse makes Lex a little incredulous.
The most important thing is that Depp doesn't look a few years older than himself, at most twenty-five or sixteen years old!
This doesn't follow normal rules at all!
If Depp went from a white ding, step by step to a high position on his own, to become a world-famous scientist, the mayor of a city, the helm of a group, or... A ruthless gangster boss.
This would not surprise Lex, but now, Depp seems to have achieved almost all of the above at the age of twenty-five!
And most likely, it's much more than that!
This left Lex a little speechless, but at the same time, it also aroused Lex's strong competitive spirit.
Lex, who has been the pride of the sky since he was a child and has never lost, is now interested in Depp and is somewhat looking forward to beating Depp once in some aspects in the future.
Depp didn't care about Lex's preoccupation and brainstorming, but patted him on the shoulder and said: "Lex, this is the mayor of Gotham City, one of the four ancient Gotham families, and the only heir of the Corbert family. ”
Then, Depp introduced Oswald: "This is the eldest son of the Luthor Group and the future heir, Lexluthor. ”
When Lex heard this, he immediately came to his senses, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Cobert, it is a great honor to meet you, I have heard of your deeds for a long time, and it is really extraordinary to see you today. ”
Oswald took Lex's hand and said with a smile, "Hahaha, those things about me are not worth mentioning at all. On the other hand, the Luther Group, which is one of the pillars of our country, and you seem to have a very good relationship with Mr. Depp, and I am looking forward to our next cooperation. ”
When Lex heard this, he immediately realized in his heart.
Oswald didn't leave Depp in or out of his words, and he also said that this guy was telling himself that he was from Depp's side, and he was so polite to himself for the sake of Depp's face.
In the future, if the Luthor Group wants to come to Gotham to expand its business, then it can only cooperate with the Depp Group.
Lex, who heard the voiceover, immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Depp and I are indeed very good friends, if I take over the Luthor Group in the future, then Depp Group and Gotham are definitely my most important partners." ”
Oswald's smile intensified when he heard Lex's words, and he immediately walked over to his desk and poured three glasses of red wine.
Oswald first handed Depp the first glass of red wine, then took one glass in each hand and handed it to Lex.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation in the future, and I hope that the Luthor Group will prosper under your leadership in the future."
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
After chatting for a while, Depp left Gotham Municipal Building with Lex.
This trip to the municipal building made Lecks reacquaint himself with Depp's strength, and also let Lecks know that there are more genius human beings in this world than himself.
This made Lex both shocked and excited, and a little lost.
However, this handsome bald man will not sink here, he will only use his incomparable brain to catch up with everyone in front of him.
At the next stop, Depp is going to take us to visit the Depp Group Botanical Research Institute and the Depp Group Life and Cryoscience Institute.
Depp thinks so, since he wants to cooperate with Leks, he must let him see his strength.
Therefore, these two places that can represent the advanced technology of the Depp Group must be visited, and as for those toy and comic factories or something, they can go or not.
At the gate of the Botanical Research Institute, Ivy wore a white research uniform and went out to greet her.
When Lex saw the green-skinned vines that were writhing around him, he looked at Depp again with shocked eyes.
Depp could only explain: "You know, there are a lot of strange people in this world, some of them are not very good brains, and some of them are mutated because of themselves, and Ivy is such a person. ”
"Shura Warrior God"
"Stop, I don't know!" "I've never seen a weird one before I came to Gotham... Kook! ”
"Well, other places are really not that tolerant of these things. However, you need to be careful with the words you use, whether it's Grandi or Velen, or Ivy in front of you, they're not monsters or weirdos, they're just different. ”
Depp said solemnly, and then, he looked at the gray sky in the distance, and said: "Gotham is inclusive in other cities that other cities don't have, so you haven't seen those really different people in your previous life." ”
Hearing this, Lex pondered, "Yes, until... I came to Gotham. It was my fault that I shouldn't be biased against people who are different. ”
Depp nodded, and walked towards Ivy with Lex, but he was thinking of someone far away in Smallville.
Lex, I hope you don't forget what you just said when you learn about Clark's secret in the future.
