Chapter 708 266: Corporate War_2

At the same time, 4 billion points from the Military Department Professional Management Office were credited to Ren Zhong's personal citizen information.

He had just recently become a Fifth Level Citizen, and his account now had a total of 44.07 billion credit points.

...

"You three, I, Ren Zhong, always keep my word. You've already earned a substantial reward from me. This is the last job in the short term; I previously offered 200 million to each of you. Now, I'll add another 100 million to each. I have only one requirement: do the job well."

In the basement of the Biological Laboratory, Ren Zhong stood beside Sun Miao, speaking to the "iron triangle" positioned in front of the Molecular Regeneration Device, Demon Infant Crystal Core, and Matrix Crystal Chip Storage Center.

After the two walked out the door together, Sun Miao murmured softly, "Man, you're way too generous."

Ren Zhong shook his head with a smile, "Brother Sun, let me teach you an old saying."

"What?"

"Money, when it grows to a certain extent, is just a boring number. Making money is a skill, spending it is an art."

Sun Miao: "Huh?"

"Little Sun, you're still young. These truths are too deep for you. You have to learn slowly. Forget it, you won't learn."

"Damn!"

...

Leaving the Biological Laboratory, Ren Zhong headed to the town government.

In the office, Ma Dafu, Shi Xuan, Wang Zhaofu, and Zheng Tian were all present.

This was considered Ren Zhong's most reliable and intelligent team now.

With Ren Zhong's help, Shi Xuan had lifted his wanted status and even restored his citizen identity, now serving as the acting Guard Captain of Starfire Town, responsible for maintaining town security and deeply coordinating relations between the original scavenger tribes.

As for the previous Guard Captain, Ma Xiaoling, under the cunning collaboration between Mr. Ren and Mayor Ma, was temporarily assigned to the newly established department, the "Special Attack Team."

The requirement for joining the Special Attack Team was to reach the fifth level, and currently, only Ma Xiaoling, Bai Feng, Shi Lin, and Jiang Kai, who had just broken through, were eligible in the town.

According to Ren Zhong, the Special Attack Team would not convene or train regularly, only acting during major crises when top military force was needed, answering directly to him.

Of course, this was all a façade; the real reason was that he was genuinely afraid of Ma Xiaoling's "military leadership skills."

In this small meeting, the main discussion was about how to utilize the global hunting channels provided by the Promotion Association.

The Ruined Beasts around Starfire Town were already worn down, and third and fourth level scavengers almost had nothing to do, so it was time to consider moving out.

In the meeting, Ren Zhong and the others crafted a detailed plan, involving remote management of the outward-bound scavengers, regular evaluations, team-building, among other aspects.

Ren Zhong added a new point, allowing these outbound workers to have deeper interactions with scavengers from other areas. If they forged connections with reliable individuals with solid strength and potential from other regions, Ren Zhong approved recruiting them into Starfire Town.

Ren's group would resolve settlement issues for their families.

After the meeting, Ma Dafu quietly voiced his opposition, "There were many people earlier, so I didn't mention it. But this isn't a long-term solution. I'm really worried the town will soon be overcrowded."

Ren Zhong nodded, "There's no helping it. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten out naturally. If Starfire Town can't accommodate them, I have some influence over in Chromium Carbon Town too. In any case, let's recruit people first. I feel like something big is about to happen."

He was indeed considering it in his mind.

Now, he really wanted to expand his business territory, not in the sense of industry, but physical territory expansion.

But the system of the Source Star Business Association was tightly pressing down on him, leaving him unable to move.

He had tentatively sent acquisition offers to resource recycling companies in several small towns around, only to be flatly rejected or quoted sky-high prices, seeing him as a big fool.

Owners who held licenses for Ruined Beast resource development in a town knew it was a surefire cash cow, and no one would sell their property unless there were special circumstances.

Back in his home office, Ren Zhong once again opened the stock market interface.

Calculating the time, several stocks with a market value of over 10 trillion were about to start rising rapidly.

Ren Zhong felt tempted.

He checked the situation with the Mengdu Group again; the total decline was close to 10%, which was already at its limit.

Cover!

In this round of short selling, he and the other capital behind him had ruthlessly ripped off Mengdu Group, making many feel disgusted but helpless.

Ren Zhong's net profit was about 176 billion, and once all the funds were unfrozen, his personal net assets officially broke the 500 billion threshold.
