192: Zhang becomes CEO

Lin Mo: "I still prefer the way you were just now—gritting your teeth, filled with righteous indignation, and utterly resolute, as if life and death meant nothing to you."

"Can you go back to that?"

"Godfather, there's no need to be surprised. In the Undead world, the strong are respected."

"With your financial power, you can absolutely dominate the Undead, the human race, and the Living race."

"Why would someone as rich as you be a slave laborer... Wait, I know! You're here to experience life."

"Yes, yes, yes, it must be!"

Lin Mo: "..."

Good heavens, you just finished filling in all the blanks yourself.

【The Ghost Knight sends you an invitation, inviting you to become the General Manager of the Slaughter Meatpacking Plant. Yes/No, accept the invitation】

Lin Mo: ? ? ? ?

"Godfather, this meatpacking plant's facilities are old and were already slated for demolition."

"I hope you'll join our company. I can give you the General Manager position; I'll be the Vice General Manager, and I'll include 33% of the company shares."

"Once your large capital arrives, we'll make a lot of money together in this Undead world."

Lin Mo considered it for a moment and agreed.

After all, having the identity of a beggar wasn't ideal right now.

【Congratulations! You have successfully become the General Manager of the Slaughter Meatpacking Plant】

【You struggled daily on the brink of survival, nearing death, until one day you met the General Manager of the Slaughter Meatpacking Plant, Mr. Ghost Knight. He found you to be of upright character and honest, and specially appointed you as General Manager, humbly demoting himself to Vice General Manager】

【Your current identity: General Manager】

【As you have now become the General Manager of the Slaughter Meatpacking Plant, you have risen above others and can issue direct commands within the company】

【Your current shareholding in the Slaughter Meatpacking Plant: 33%】

【Command options: "Procurement", "Meeting", "Personnel", "Commerce", "Accounting"】

【Each command consumes 10% of your energy, and no more than 10 commands can be issued per day】

"Business?"

"Exactly! With your substantial capital injection, we can start by offering subsidies to capture users, and then monopolize the entire market, squeezing out all other companies."

"You'll feast on meat, and I'll just follow along for the soup!"

The Ghost Knight was already rubbing his hands together, eager to start.

"I just have one question: can you take me into the Undead Imperial Palace?"

"Me? You think too highly of me. I'm just a small fry. The Imperial Palace has a barrier. The best meat can only be delivered to the entrance each time, and there are special personnel to select it. Usually, out of 10 tons of meat delivered, only a few dozen pounds are chosen."

"If you want to advance quickly and enter officialdom, then first, as I said, you must build a large market to make money. With status and position, entering there will be as easy as flipping your hand."

"Moreover, the Undead Imperial City exists in a phantom soul; without permission from the other party, it cannot be found or opened at all."

After listening to the Ghost Knight's explanation,

Lin Mo finally understood.

It seems that Imperial City isn't a place one can just enter at will.

He must raise his status.

Which is what the dungeon referred to as 'position'.

The lower the position, the more miserable life was; the higher the position, the greater the power.

Although he was just a small General Manager now,

it was already equivalent to a small kingdom.

He could issue commands at will.

Lin Mo opened the 'Personnel' option and selected 'Recruit'.

【Recruit: Dilireba, Salary: 0】

【Recruit: Dong Xiaowan, Salary: 0】

...【Recruit: Taotie, Salary: ∞】

Hmm, first, fill the main positions with his own people.

The next moment, all previous managers were dismissed.

They were replaced by all of Lin Mo's Ghost Servants.

"General Manager Lin, this isn't good. You've fired all the employees. We'll have to find new slaves."

"No need. Our new factory is fully automated and mechanized, with zero labor costs."

"Dilireba, Dong Xiaowan, the new factory building will depend on the two of you to construct."

Ghost Knight: ? ? ?

The next second... Dilireba smiled faintly, her hands gently raised, and the ground instantly trembled.

Countless sand and stones surged up like living things, quickly condensing into the towering framework of a factory building.

Steel bars and cement automatically intertwined, and in the blink of an eye, a brand-new, modern slaughterhouse was constructed.

Dong Xiaowan lightly tapped her fingertips, and countless pieces of gold foil paper flew out from her sleeves.

They folded and transformed in mid-air, becoming precise assembly line equipment—automatic skinning machines, bone separators, flesh-and-blood separators... Each machine gleamed with a cold metallic luster, its efficiency far surpassing the primitive tools of the Undead.

With a command from her, ten thousand paper figures marched out in formation from her red sleeves, standing uniformly beside the assembly line, awaiting instructions.

The Ghost Knight watched, dumbfounded, his jaw practically hitting the ground: "This... this is what you meant by 'fully automated'?"

Of course.

Operating paper figures means no need for slaves.

After all, those slaves still needed to be fed so they wouldn't starve.

This saved another expense.

【Your current shareholding in the Slaughter Meatpacking Plant: 51%】

"You can go contact the meat suppliers. I'll contact you if anything comes up."

Lin Mo patted the Ghost Knight on the shoulder.

The other party was still calculating how much money could be saved each month.

Dong Xiaowan covered her mouth, chuckling, "My Lord has also become a businessman one day. This is the most handsome shopkeeper I've ever seen."

"Alright, I'll contact new meat suppliers right away."

"You can go to the battlefield at the border of the Undead, human, and Living races, and buy all the dead bodies there. Don't let other companies snatch them."

The Ghost Knight, driving his car with the broken windshield, had just started the engine when he added a task for Lin Mo.

He casually tossed out a key.

"There's a hearse outside. I'll have the company equip you with a better one later."

Lin Mo took the key and started the black hearse outside.

He arrived at the End of the Three Kingdoms Battlefield.

Here, several meat processing companies were fighting over dead bodies with their skeleton soldiers.

Most of the bodies here were from the human race and the Living race.

"Oh ho! Is that from the Slaughter Meatpacking Plant? Your boss owes me so much money, when are you going to pay it back!"

As soon as he parked,

an Undead surrounded him with seven or eight subordinates.

There was no avoiding it; the car still had an advertising slogan printed on it.

"Impound the car for me!"

Lin Mo got out of the car.

He looked at this group of Undead.

【Company Name: Meihui Meatpacking Plant】

【Company Introduction: Meihui Meatpacking Plant, the third largest meatpacking plant in the Undead Kingdom. Last year, the General Manager of Slaughter Meatpacking Plant, the Ghost Knight, signed a gambling agreement with them. Due to failing to meet the profit margin, the other party withdrew their investment, and Slaughter Meatpacking Plant still owes them 120 million to this day】

Lin Mo: "..."

No wonder that Ghost Knight guy was so quick to acknowledge him as his godfather.

It turned out his company owed so much money.

He was using his own national treasury to pay off his debts.

However, do I look like someone who would pay back money?
