66: Construction of the Beehive base begins, reshaping the black technology enterprise structure

“Jarvis.”

“Create a Honeycomb Base model and analyze the cost of building the underground Honeycomb Base engineering according to military-grade quality standards,” Lu Xingye pondered for a moment, then asked Jarvis.

“Analyzing...”

“Analysis successful... If a 108-story underground Honeycomb Base is built according to military-grade quality standards, the cost will be approximately 50 billion dragon coins. This price includes the construction of surface buildings.”

50 billion dragon coins?

Lu Xingye pondered for a moment; this price wasn’t very high.

It was completely within his acceptable range.

Currently, Suihuo Technology had 215 billion in liquid funds, still 35 billion dragon coins short of becoming the richest man in the country.

If the Honeycomb Base were built, another 50 billion dragon coins would be spent. That would leave 165 billion dragon coins in the accounts, which seemed to put him further away from becoming the world’s richest man... It seems... the plan to become the richest man in the country can only be postponed a bit.

The establishment of the Honeycomb Base by Suihuo Technology was imperative, and its priority was even higher than the plan to become the richest man in the country. This was because the Honeycomb Base was Lu Xingye’s foundation for survival in this world.

First, establish the base, then develop technology, engage in military industry... and arms dealing... Only then could Suihuo Technology truly be considered a black technology enterprise.

For example: Stark Industries, Umbrella Corporation... Money can be earned slowly.

At this stage, Lu Xingye no longer had such an urgent desire to become the richest man in the country.

With countless weapons stored in Jarvis’s disk, plus his super brain after taking NZT-48, what couldn’t he invent?

Taking items from movies was like a cheat tool in reality, but reality couldn’t always allow you to cheat. True strength came from one’s own power.

Moreover, taking items from movies had a limited number of uses.

Furthermore... after Lu Xingye took NZT-48, he had a subtle feeling that as he continuously took items from the movie world, the real world was also undergoing some unpredictable changes.

This unknown change made him a little scared.

Lu Xingye felt that he should try to take fewer items from movies in the future, lest unpredictable changes occur in this world.

“Jarvis, generate the Honeycomb Base design blueprints and construction plan, and send them to Zhao Dawei’s phone.”

“Tell him...”

“To expedite the bidding process for the Honeycomb Base and start construction as soon as possible.”

“There are only two requirements for the Honeycomb Base construction: first, military-grade quality. Second, speed must be fast; try to complete construction and acceptance within half a year.”

“Okay, boss. The Honeycomb Base design blueprints and construction plan have been sent to Zhao Dawei’s phone, and the relevant instructions have also been conveyed to Zhao Dawei,” Jarvis’s cold electronic synthesized voice came from the computer speakers as usual.

After completing all this work.

Lu Xingye lay on the sofa, his eyes looking at the ceiling, his gaze distant.

Suihuo Technology was developing rapidly, and the Honeycomb Base was about to begin construction.

Everything was developing for the better.

But at this moment, he discovered a problem.

This was a problem he would have had difficulty discovering before taking NZT-48.

That was — the company framework of Suihuo Technology had issues.

Suihuo Technology Company’s structure was simple, its layering unclear, employee loyalty was low, and it lacked world-class talent, not at all resembling a black technology enterprise.

According to this framework, Suihuo Technology could only be considered an ordinary commercial company, not a black technology enterprise.

If the company framework was not adjusted soon, it would be detrimental to future development.

Lu Xingye took out his tablet computer, placed it on his lap, and typed on the keyboard, inputting his thoughts into the computer.

# Preliminary Plan

Divide Suihuo Technology employees into three categories according to their functions: Suihuo personnel, security personnel, and researchers.

Suihuo personnel are ordinary company employees, responsible for the company’s commercial operations. Simply put, they are responsible for making money and then channeling the money earned to the research institute.

Security personnel are the company’s armed forces, equipped with the company’s latest developed weapons, ensuring the company’s smooth development and eliminating all obstacles to its progress.

Researchers are the company’s think tank, responsible for weapon research and development, climbing the technology tree, and ensuring Suihuo Technology always stays ahead of its time.

Under normal circumstances, the authority of Suihuo personnel is lower than that of security personnel, and the authority of security personnel is lower than that of researchers.

And... divide each functional employee into nine levels, from 1 to 9. Level 1 has the lowest authority, and Level 9 has the highest.

Above Level 9, establish a supreme level, which is the Chairman of Suihuo Technology — Lu Xingye.

Lu Xingye is the true controller of Suihuo Technology, steering its development direction, and possessing a veto power over Suihuo Technology.

Levels 1-5 employees are outer-layer employees and cannot enter the Honeycomb Research Base.

Employees above Level 5 are inner-layer employees and can enter the underground Honeycomb Base.

This is the preliminary plan.

Lu Xingye recorded all this, considered it for a moment, then sent this company structure to Zhao Dawei, asking him to gradually adjust the company framework.

Phew!

“Finally done.”

After sending out the document, Lu Xingye slowly let out a breath, stretched his arms out to the sides, and yawned.

Although this framework still had many imperfections, it was the result of Lu Xingye referencing several black technology enterprises from movies.

It might be gradually adjusted later based on actual circumstances.

At the same time.

Lu Xingye would also establish a global talent pool for Suihuo Technology.

Bringing all these excellent scientists into his fold would allow Suihuo Technology to develop even faster... “Jarvis.”

“What do you think of my company’s structure?” Lu Xingye asked Jarvis.

“Good! Very good!”

“You are my boss. My future body depends on you; do you think I dare to say you are wrong?” Jarvis said faintly, his voice carrying a hint of mockery, not knowing where it had learned it.

Sigh... That damn artificial intelligence is really becoming more and more like a person. It even learned to tell jokes.

“Do you think I’m such a petty person?”

“I’m asking you, just tell me the truth,” Lu Xingye said helplessly.

Tony’s computer indicator light flickered, followed by Jarvis’s cold electronic synthesized voice.

“The adjustment is very good!”

“After your adjustment, the company’s functions are clear, and the division of power is clear; it already has a hint of a black technology enterprise’s embryonic form.”

Jarvis paused here, and that faint electronic synthesized voice came again.

“Originally, I also discovered that the company’s existing framework had problems, which were detrimental to the company’s future development. But I hadn’t had time to tell you yet when you discovered this problem.”

“Really good.”

“It seems that after you took NZT-48, it still had an effect.”

“At least you’re not as stupid as before.”

Get lost!

How can an artificial intelligence have such a foul mouth?

Be a person!

No!

Jarvis isn’t a person to begin with.
