Luke barely squirted the wine out of his mouth.

"What?"

"How much?"

"Eight hundred million?"

Luke looked at Earl with wide eyes: "So, I earn a billion a year, and then I spend 800 million, and in the end I have 200 million left?" ”

Earl shook his head: "Director, you forgot to count the agents you raised, you haven't converted their salaries yet." ”

Luke blinked.

"Didn't Jack clean up in the past?"

"He's cleaning up the agents who have gone through Dr. Zola's algorithm and are loyal to Whitehorse, not all of them."

“…… How much is left, no, you just tell me, how much of their salary, how much am I going to give out? ”

"Hmmm......"

Earl's gaze moved up, under Luke's gaze, turned the notebook, turned on the computer on it, and after some calculations, looked up at Luke: "The estimated annual cost is about 80 million." ”

Luke gasped: "Eighty million, how can it be so much?" ”

Earl shrugged his shoulders and said: "We have received, in Europe, there are a total of eight bases, the management of the eight bases is highly paid, none of them have the idea of being loyal to Whitehoo, the annual salary of the management of these eight bases adds up to about 30 million, and the remaining ones are about 500 agents at present, and their annual salaries add up to almost 50 million." ”

Lu Ke's eyebrows furrowed.

"Can you get Jack to chop some more?"

“…… No. ”

Earl said to Luke: "Sir, the annual salary of those agents, on average, is only 100,000 US dollars, which is not as good as our senior agents, I think it will be repaid, if the chief is sure that he wants to keep them for when he will use them in the future, he can give them a salary increase." ”

After all, newcomers have a new atmosphere.

With a pay increase, it is also possible to tell those agents if their boss is.

Lu Ke's eyebrows jumped: "So, I get it every year, in fact, it's only 120 million?" ”

Earl shook his head again.

Luke was dumbfounded.

"Is there anything else to spend?"

"In European countries, the annual property tax for three castles, the property tax for twelve estates, and the property tax for eighty-eight high-end residences."

Under Luke's gaze, Earl crossed his fingers and counted the expenses: "There are also the annual maintenance costs of the three castles and the cost of the servants of the twelve manors, calculated that you need to spend 100 million yuan a year on the property alone, and I haven't counted the gas, water and electricity and other miscellaneous things." ”

Luke's face darkened.

According to Earl's calculations, he doesn't talk about taking money every year, and he doesn't post money outside.

Three castles?

Twelve manors, and eighty-eight high-end residences?

Crazy.

Haven't you heard of the old dog Whitehouse, which is called a place where you have a lot of money and sleeps so much?

Luke was speechless, looked at Earl, and when he originally wanted to say that he could sell those castles and manors or something, he suddenly remembered something and suddenly fell silent.

When Whitehorn was there, he didn't even think about selling his property to make a living.

Now that he's taken over, he's going to sell things when he comes up?

If this reaches the ears of others, it will attract a lot of gossip, and people who don't know it, if they know, I'm afraid they will think that someone else is not as good as Whitehorse's old dog.

No way!

The property must not be sold.

"Wait a minute."

Luke raised his eyebrows, thinking of what Earl said just now, and looked at Earle: "You just said that Whitehawk spends 800 million a year to maintain several life science laboratories?" ”

Earl nodded: "Yes, four in Paris, two in Berlin, one in Sokovia, and one in Seoul in partnership with Dr. Zola, a total of nine." ”

Rucker immediately decided: "Suspend the cooperation, now, immediately, immediately." ”

He's not the same as Whitehorse.

Luke doesn't need to study any life sciences.

He plays metaphysics and clashes with science.

Earl didn't have a problem with that, nodded his head, and after recording it, asked, "Do you want to stop?" ”

Luke nodded: "Except for the 'Clone Project' that I cooperated with Dr. Zora to continue to fund, I will cut the rest." ”

If he doesn't stop the loss in time, he may have to sell blood next year to make a living.

He now finally knew why Daniel Whitehoe was robbing the other directors of their business in all sorts of ways.

If you don't grab it, you can't do it.

If, according to what Earl just said, the annual income of the old dog Whitehawk is not enough to cover the annual expenses.

Gee.

Spend 800 million on science?

Big brother, you're a hydra, spending money on researching technology, is that your painting style, won't you wait for others to study it, and then use it directly?

What's the matter.

Do others dare to charge you royalties?

He now understood why Whitehoe, the old dog, looked awesome, and why he had to hide as a recluse.

Feelings, this product is a strong outside, and the goods are dry.

Luke complained speechlessly, and then looked at the recorded earl: "Except for Dr. Zola's project retention, all the research projects have been cut, so that the expenditure should be balanced." ”

He didn't want to make Whitehawk's legacy fat now.

Luke only hopes that taking over Whitehorse's legacy will not bring down his current quality of life.

Otherwise......

Isn't he doing his work in vain?

Earl looked at the recorded projects that needed to be cut and the funds that needed to be intercepted, and nodded: "Okay, in this case, we will have the funds to raise the salaries of the agents of those eight bases, of course, if the chief doesn't want those bases, I think, the other directors should be willing to ask for them." ”

Luke looked at Earl with a blank expression.

The next second.

He picked up the bourbon in front of him and drank it all: "Trading will not be traded, at least not this year, let's go up." ”

Again, that's the same sentence.

No one will start selling their property directly after coming to power, without even having a hot buttocks.

At least in the first year, you can't do this, you have to do it, no matter what, you have to survive this year.

And Earl was right.

Jack had just relied on the algorithm given by Zola in Europe to cut a large number of porters and eight bases, and it was a time when people were panicking.

A slap in the face, a sweet date, both the East and the West are also universal.

Lu Ke shook his head and sighed, "So, can the nine and eight hundred million we have in our hands still be able to maintain the operation of this year?" ”

Earl calculated again and nodded, "It shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Luke laughed dumbly.

See.

This is the reason why he is reluctant to be the boss in the main god space.

Be the boss, tired.

Especially when you are the boss of a villain organization, it is even more tiring.

Ordinary people, let alone a billion, can earn five million in a lifetime, and he is afraid that he is about to go crazy.

It's good to come to this Luke's side, 980 million, which is enough to sustain a year's life.

He felt that he had not come to make money by taking over Whitehorse's assets.

This is a special case for poverty alleviation.

After listening to Earl's inventory, Luke was not in a good mood, and knew that when he saw Lady Viper on the caller ID of his mobile phone, his heart was a little better.

Oh yes.

It's the fifteenth today.

Luke got up from his office chair, grabbed the phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and answered Mrs. Viper's phone.

"Maria."

"Luke."

Mrs. Viper's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Are you free at night, I still have half an hour to land in Los Angeles." ”

Luke smiled and said, "Maria, you can't imagine that I have been vacating tonight since a month ago, just to wait for your call. ”

Lady Viper smiled charmingly: "Have you recuperated your sperm?" ”

Luke raised an eyebrow.

"Madame, what about you?"

"I want to eat people."

"What a coincidence."

Luke's eyebrows raised: "I really want to be eaten by Madame." ”

Lady Viper's laughter was full of temptation: "Send you the address, I'll wait for you." ”

Luke said "yes", hung up the phone, looked at the restaurant address sent by Mrs. Viper, then zoomed and called Rachel.

Reading the newspaper at home, waiting for time to pass, Rachel, who went to work, casually answered the phone: "Hey. ”

Luke looked at the sunset in Los Angeles outside the floor-to-ceiling window: "If you have something to do at night, you may not go back." ”

Rachel flipped through the newspaper for a moment and closed it.

"Beer?"

"Yes."

"New brand of beer, or old brand?"

"New."

“……”

Rachel raised her eyebrows: "Which manufacturer is this, do you know the taste?" ”

Luke shrugged: "I haven't drunk it yet, I'm not sure which manufacturer it is, I hope the taste is sweet, but I feel that it is most likely bitter." ”

Rachel shook her head, re-read the newspaper in her hand, and said with a smile: "I know it's bitter, so don't drink it, come back and drink bourbon." ”

Luke sighed: "I don't want to drink it either, but this time the manufacturer is full of sincerity, if I don't go, I guess I will chase it to my house and let me drink it." ”

Hearing this, Rachel shook her head a little speechlessly.

"Okay, you just know the proportions, I'll prepare five cups of bourbon for you tomorrow night, and if you can't finish drinking, you can sleep on the sofa."

"Okay."

Rachel then hung up and nodded, looked up, looked at Lorna, who was sitting opposite the bar, writing homework, with a confused face, and smiled: "What's wrong?" ”

Lorna, who was on the other side, came back to her senses, recalled the conversation between Rachel and Luke just now, and asked a little suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, did you just talk to my brother about wine?" ”

Rachel smiled.

"Of course, didn't you hear me clearly?"

"But I don't think you're talking about wine."

Lorna said with a puzzled face: "How can beer be sweet and bitter, isn't it all sour and astringent?" ”

Bullied her for not having a beer?

Rachel listened to Lorna's words, and the smile on her face became even more beautiful.

"So, last month, that bottle of beer, you drank it?"

"Huh?"

Lorna looked at the smile on Rachel's face, and the whole person instantly became bad.
