Chapter 9 Buying Horse Bones
That afternoon, things went very well, as Lyon expected.
It may be that the Andrea sisters played an exemplary role, and then four more people came to participate in the interview, namely, the black strong man T-boy, the car mechanic Jim, the urban planner Quinn, and the Korean courier Glenn.
Under Leon's intentional guidance and persuasion, T-boy and Glenn joined the security department and became E-class combatants, Jim joined the engineering department and became an E-class technician, responsible for car maintenance, and Quinn, the urban planner, did not have any practical skills, but was a civil servant with more than ten years of experience, Leon adhered to the principle of waste utilization, so that she joined the logistics department as an E-class administrator as Andrea's deputy.
In the evening, Leon took out a lot of food from the truck and graciously invited everyone to join him for dinner.
After all, it will be a team member in the future, and Lyon still hopes that there can be a harmonious and united atmosphere in the team.
Enjoying the flattery of his subordinates, whether overt or covert, Leon was secretly refreshed in his heart, and accepted the two combatants, T-boy and Glenn, and finally ceased to be the commander of the light pole.
With a wave of his hand, he gave T-boy and Glenn a pistol, and a military bulletproof vest for each of them, in exchange for the moving eyes of the two.
Loyalty plus 10, haha, it's like playing a game.
This is all picked up from those fallen soldiers outside the CDC, there is no cost of garbage, it is not distressing to distribute it at all, and it is best to use it to win people's hearts.
T-boy and Glenn are both the kind of characters who are willing to work hard for the team, and in the original plot, they both died to save the team, and as long as they gained the loyalty of both of them, they would get two sharp swords.
In the evening, Leon brought out cold beer and barbecue, and held a small barbecue dinner with his subordinates, everyone chatted about their own stories, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the relationship between them also increased a lot.
Unlike the lively atmosphere on the Lyon side, the quarry camp is very dull and complicated, everyone has their own thoughts, there is not much communication in the evening, and each family whispers in their tents.
The next morning, Amy took on the role of her personal assistant, taking the initiative to get up early and prepare breakfast for Leon, and before she could finish it, Leon saw the old gangster Moore and his younger brother Daryl walking towards him.
Leon took the initiative to stand up, shook hands with Mohr, who had a flattering smile on his face, and said with a smile:
"Welcome, Mr. More."
"Do you want to join our company, you and your brother look like the kind of battle-hardened warriors, as long as you join us, you will definitely be reused."
Leon's attitude is very kind, giving people a sense of importance and respect, and having been in the workplace for many years, he knows that what a low-level gangster like Moore needs most is the respect and recognition of others, of course, the recognition of the strong.
If you are an incompetent person, even if you respect him and approve of him, they will think you are a coward.
If you are stronger than him and are willing to give him respect, then he is willing to obey you.
The smile on Moore's face was even bigger, and he laughed, shook Leon's hand, and said:
"Yes, boss, Daryl and I would like to work under you."
"In the future, we will do whatever you ask us to do, and I will beat whoever I want, and there will be absolutely no complaints."
Leon laughed, glanced at the silent Daryl, and asked Amy to call her sister Andrea.
The two Moore brothers are both strong warriors, and in the entire walking dead world, their combat effectiveness is at the top level, although both of them have obvious weaknesses, but as long as they use the right methods, they can become good at blocking one side in the end.
He pondered for a few seconds, smiled at the two of them, and said:
"Mr. Moore, Mr. Daryl, all combatants would have had to be promoted from the E-Class."
"But considering that the company is employing people, I hereby approve the two of you as D-class personnel, temporarily serving as the team leader of the No. 1 combat group, Mr. Daryl, as your deputy captain, this is quite a rare treatment, I hope you can make due contributions to the umbrella company."
Moore was overjoyed, and a smile bloomed on his face, and he patted his brother on the shoulder, and said loudly to Leon:
"Thank you, boss, I will definitely not live up to your trust."
Daryl was also very surprised, he didn't expect that people like him and Moore would be reused by others, he looked at Leon's eyes, nodded, and said softly:
"Thank you, boss, I won't live up to your trust."
Accepting two strong subordinates, Leon was happy in his heart, raised his hand to divide a good set of equipment for the two, and took out good wine and food to entertain the two, and gained a wave of goodwill.
After sending the two away, Andrea asked a little strangely:
"Mr. Custer, you seem to value both of them very much."
Of course, Crossbow is the one who survives to the final season.
Leon nodded, not surprised by Andrea's question.
"Times have changed, Andrea, in this kind of era, only if you are strong enough, you can decide your own destiny."
"The Moore brothers have more potential than you think, and they are more adapted to this environment than you are."
After arranging the Moore brothers, time flew by, and when Leon thought that there might be no one to come back for the interview, Morales arrived with his wife and children belatedly.
Seeing that there were 4 more leeks, Leon was very happy and enthusiastically recruited Morales and his family to join the umbrella company, not caring about his fierce opposition yesterday, which made the good man Morales a little embarrassed.
Morales is a professional plumber worker with more than 20 years of experience and was recruited into the engineering department by Lyon.
His family members are all ordinary people with no special abilities, so they can only be assigned to the logistics department.
By noon, when Leon and his subordinates had finished their lunch, no one came to the quarry camp.
After this split, there are still three or four families left on the quarry's side, about 20 people.
But the Glenn and others who left were all the ones who were more brave and dared to fight, and the combat effectiveness of their camp had dropped by at least half.
You can't blame me for not cherishing the opportunity for you.
Let's hope Rick wakes up and his family is still alive.
Leon did not hesitate, he cleanly took the 12 newly acquired subordinates, left the quarry, and drove to the Saint-José Shan nursing home.
In the southern suburbs of Atlanta, this nursing home is located in a relatively remote area, in a sparsely populated old neighborhood, and it is because of this that they have escaped the perception of zombies.
Unlike what happened to Rick, Leon arrives at the nursing home with a group of macho men with loaded guns.
It's easy to get into friendly negotiations with the survivors here.
They are all ordinary people who have been trapped because they are visiting their elders, weak and helpless, and they are very willing to join the safe and stable organization of the umbrella company.
However, there is a very real problem in this, that is, the old people in the nursing home are all over 80 years old and have no ability to work.
Not only do they not produce any value, but they also consume a lot of medical supplies because of their pain.
Without this dilemma, it will be difficult for both parties to make a smooth transition.
For this situation, Leon has long thought about it.
He must accept this group of useless old men, because the team has just been established, and the most important thing at present is to win people's hearts.
The story of buying horse bones for thousands of dollars is known to Chinese.
Taking in these elderly women and children will increase the sense of security of all team members, and make people with good intentions have a greater sense of belonging and identity.
Although it will suffer a little materially, if it can gain everyone's favor in this way, it will be a sure deal for Lyon.
Besides, cutting leeks is a technical job, as long as the sickle is swung well, it is not certain who will earn and who will lose in the end.
Facing the people in the nursing home who were eagerly waiting for his decision, Leon cleared his throat, showed a warm smile, and said loudly:
"Rest assured, everyone."
"In line with the principle of people-oriented, the umbrella company will take in these poor elderly people and bear 50% of their living and medical expenses in the coming days."
"I hope that all of you will share our philosophy and contribute to the revival of humanity."
