57: Chapter 57 [Deep Realm Eco Resort Co., Ltd.], Certified Profession

Upon hearing that it would take at least three months, Wang An frowned.

It was a bit too long. In his current situation, now that his three-dimensional attributes had broken through to around 3 points, his progress would be extremely slow.

Without the help of such azure yang qi and a dense, pure high-energy gas chamber.

It was very likely that besides his Spirit attribute, his Essence and Qi attributes would fall into a state of stagnant growth.

"Lawyer Liu, I will increase the hiring fee. Can you help me shorten the time? Three months is too long for me."

Although Lawyer Liu did not know why this President Wang was in such a hurry, the auction and transfer process for this type of mineral asset was extremely cumbersome and lengthy.

However, since the other party was willing to increase the fee, they could mobilize some connections to speed up the entire approval process.

The request was just to speed things up, which was relatively easy to handle. The client was following standard procedures, so the risk was low, and it could be done.

"Since President Wang is so generous, our law firm can mobilize all our connections and public relations personnel to speed up the entire approval process."

Wang An was actually just trying his luck, but upon hearing that this law firm really had such capability, he immediately asked with interest.

"What is the shortest time you can complete the purchase of the Mine Pit Hotel? If the time satisfies me, I will add an extra thank-you fee for you personally."

Lawyer Liu's eyes lit up when he heard Wang An's words.

Their law firm was handling the outsourced accounting for his company, so they naturally knew that this President Wang was very generous to his employees, with salaries much higher than those of his peers.

He began to calculate his connections—his teachers, seniors, fellow students—and all aspects of his school network, as well as the costs of specific joints that needed to be greased regarding official channels.

After having a bottom line in his heart, he then stated a string of numbers.

"President Wang, one month, 5 million."

Wang heard this number and was a bit surprised, raising his eyebrows.

Seeing his reaction, Lawyer Liu thought his quote was a bit high and explained.

"President Wang, most of this money still needs to be used to grease relations, and you are going through the normal approval process. It requires official personnel to speed things up, which is why it costs only this much. If you were to take other routes... ahem."

Lawyer Liu originally wanted to continue, but immediately thought of something and stopped abruptly.

He certainly didn't think it was expensive; after all, this type of approval process was extremely complex, and being able to shorten it to one month was already beyond his expectations.

Just as he had said, this 5 million still needed to be used to grease various key personnel.

However, the sentence he stopped himself from saying was quite interesting.

This law firm had quite a bit of influence; they actually had channels for non-compliant procedures.

Since the approval time had been set, the company to operate the Mine Pit Hotel should also be processed at this opportunity.

Wang An could not put this business into the [Changnan Interstellar] company.

After all, the businesses and models of the two companies were different, so it was better to manage them separately.

"Lawyer Liu, I will continue to entrust you with registering a company under the name [Deep Realm Ecological Resort Co., Ltd.] as the development and operation entity for the Mine Pit Hotel."

Seeing another business opportunity, Lawyer Liu pushed up his glasses and thought to himself.

His boss was a straightforward person who never dragged out payments; for such a client, they would go to great lengths to win him over, so he immediately agreed to take on this small commission.

Regarding the control structure of [Deep Realm Ecological Resort Co., Ltd.], Wang An used a method similar to that of [Changnan Interstellar].

It was also jointly registered with [Star Sea Exploration Investment Partnership] as the main initiator, combined with a recruited "legal representative" as the nominal shareholder.

Ultimately, Wang An used [Wang's Capital] as the final means of control and risk isolation for both companies.

Just as Wang An was instructing Lawyer Liu on the materials needed for the land approval of the Mine Pit Hotel and the preparations for the company's registration.

On the Incarnation's side, after trading the last job-change stone, he applied for Professional certification on the national special resources and talent exchange platform under the identity of Captain Wang Quan.

The application was submitted, and the official platform immediately gave a corresponding response.

"Mr. Captain Wang Quan, your submitted Professional certification application has been approved. Please go to the Changnan Special Resources Recycling and Management Division branch, address xxx, within 3 working days for offline certification."

Seeing this information, he searched for the address on the map software and found that it was not far from where he was now, so he went to complete this certification.

If the company wanted to expand in the future, it needed at least one Professional identity endorsement.

Otherwise, the harvest from this exploration alone would be enough to arouse suspicion and covetousness; having a combat-type Professional participate in the exploration would just happen to dispel the doubts of others.

As for the Professional Mo Yuemei, he hadn't seen her since they returned together.

She was probably still at home trying to persuade her parents.

He didn't know if she would come to participate in exploration actions in the future.

As for inviting other Professionals to join the Exploration Team, he didn't force it.

After all, their company was far from being comparable to the teams and financial strength of those big companies.

It was just that the strength of this exploration captain was in the top tier; whenever there was trouble, he would be the first to step up, making it safer for the others.

This time, the company's income had increased significantly, and their three-person Exploration Team was no longer sufficient.

Besides the captain being a combatant, the other two—Chen Yanshan had rich experience in mountain forest survival and was quite skilled at clearing paths; however, Liu Tingquan was completely a logistics support person with no combat capability.

Therefore, during this period, the two of them had been utilizing the training ground where the Incarnation had previously practiced to master the use of the Compound Bow.

They at least needed to practice until they could hit a target from twenty or thirty meters away, possessing basic attack capabilities, so they wouldn't hold the team back; only then would they be considered qualified.

On Manager Hu's side, he continued to post recruitment information nationwide. This time, the requirements were exclusively for hunters with hunting experience or experts in using the Compound Bow.

This was to make up for the Exploration Team's weakness in attack power when facing large groups of wild beasts.

The number of team members was roughly controlled at around 6 people.

In other words, if one counted Mo Yuemei, who might or might not come, they still needed to recruit two more full members to be considered a full-strength elite team.

The employees continued to collect information on the various entrances to the Jinggang Mountains.

For a large mountain range like this, there were at least four or five hundred meteorite impact points.

The primeval forest environment, wildlife populations, and Mutant creatures were more numerous, powerful, and harsher, making the exploration difficulty much greater than the Huaiyu Mountain area, which was a nature reserve, that they had visited before.

According to information Wang An learned from other cultivation-type Professionals in the Special Administration Bureau, the Exploration Teams of various factions were basically focusing on these large mountain ranges, raiding them and collecting job-change stones.

These past few days, whenever he had a little free time, he would work on improving the precision and power of his compound crossbow, aiming to increase the effective range to at least 100–120m, with a draw weight of over 200 pounds, in order to cope with future threats.
