22: Special talents

The clinical trial would last for a month. After instructing Ma Jun to take good care of these patients, Qin Yang left the pharmaceutical factory.

In the blink of an eye, another week passed peacefully for Qin Yang.

As for what Qin Yang did this week, besides arranging work for the newly refreshed Death Warriors, his greatest pleasure was having Jiang Bo condition his body.

Qin Yang was only in his twenties and had assumed his body was healthy. However, after a thorough examination by Jiang Bo, it was discovered that Qin Yang had quite a few minor ailments, such as cervical spondylosis, excessive body fat, hair loss, stomach problems, and so on.

Once these were discovered, Jiang Bo began systematically conditioning Qin Yang's body, urging him to exercise daily. After exercising, he would perform bone-setting massages and use medicinal diets to nourish Qin Yang's spleen and stomach.

In a week's time, Qin Yang could clearly feel that he had changed. First, he had lost quite a bit of weight, and his posture was more upright. Although his looks hadn't changed, his entire demeanor had undergone a significant transformation. If Qin Yang could only be considered "passably handsome" based on his looks before, now, after conditioning and the added bonus of his improved temperament, he deserved the title of "handsome guy" wherever he went.

The most obvious change was that when Qin Yang was at the register now, many young women and ladies began proactively asking him for his WeChat.

This made Qin Yang have to sigh in admiration; truly, anything produced by the system was a masterpiece. Jiang Bo had only made a slight effort, yet it resulted in such a huge change for him. One had to know that Jiang Bo was a master-level Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, and that gold content was quite high. The culinary skills of cooks like Song Wu were only considered at the proficient level, yet that was enough to keep Hongbin Tower packed every single day.

A new week brought the refresh of another Third-level Death Soldier.

Third-level Death Soldier: Zhao Zhi.

Skill: Planner (Master-level), increases the success rate of planned projects by 50%.

Qin Yang was a bit dazed looking at Zhao Zhi's information. In his impression, "Planner" was a job title, not a skill. If one were to talk about the planning projects Qin Yang had the most contact with, it would be games. Because of games, Qin Yang had often fallen into traps in the past, cursing the "damn Planners" every day.

Filled with curiosity, Qin Yang called Zhao Zhi over. Through understanding, Qin Yang realized that Zhao Zhi's "Planner" skill was very different from a game Planner. In ancient times, the Planner skill could also be called a strategist or military advisor.

To put it bluntly, one could view Zhao Zhi as a top-tier professional manager, a natural-born CEO.

After realizing this, Qin Yang smiled. The system really understood him. As someone who started as an amateur, Qin Yang's current businesses looked impressive, but they were too disorganized—a bit like hitting here with a hammer and sweeping there with a broom. He had been wanting to hire a professional to integrate his businesses, and it was as if he'd just gotten sleepy and a pillow had arrived.

Zhao Zhi, having first understood Qin Yang's general situation, immediately asked: "Boss, before I express my opinion, may I know how high your ambitions are?"

Qin Yang thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Since I have the system, I naturally want to be as strong as possible. Isn't there a joke online? My goal is to be able to sit at the table to eat in the future, and have no one dare to spin my table. Haha!"

"Hmm, that goal of yours, Boss, seems simple, but it is actually the most difficult. To achieve that level, it depends on the status of the people you are interacting with. Those with lower status than you naturally wouldn't dare to spin the table, but one must know that there is always someone better, and a sky beyond our sky.

However, with us backing you up, Boss, there is a great hope of achieving this goal. Now, we will serve you with this goal in mind. Boss, next, I will offer you some suggestions.

First, Boss, you must be clear that items from the system mall are just icing on the cake. We, the people loyal to you, are your greatest asset. Calculating based on the fact that you can currently refresh twelve of us partners a day, that's over three hundred and sixty people a month. Without leveling up, that's over four thousand people a year. What kind of concept is that? With so many people unconditionally loyal to you, you can basically ignore all threats in this society.

Of course, I am not talking about the situation of going against the state. However, with so many partners here, even the state would have to think twice before making a move against you. After all, if so many people were unrestrained, they could cause unimaginable losses.

And there is one thing you have done very well, Boss: you haven't let the partners engage in large-scale illegal activities, but instead have everyone earn their keep through labor. Although we all have identities fabricated by the system, in reality, we represent truly independent individuals.

Therefore, as long as our numbers are sufficient, our influence can continuously expand. Even the state would have to listen to our reasonable suggestions. For this, one can refer to the former Foxconn factory. At its peak, the Foxconn factory had millions of employees, which meant it provided millions of jobs for the country, and the people influenced by these millions of employees could reach tens of millions. For the boss of such an enterprise, even if only a small portion of the employees were loyal to him, as long as he didn't court disaster himself, everything would be negotiable.

However, if the boss courts disaster himself, that is a different matter. Although our current partners have not reached that level, we have our own advantages: we are united enough. Therefore, Boss, the integration of your numerous industries is a must; only then can we maximize our influence."

Qin Yang nodded after listening. He understood this point; otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to invite a professional manager to integrate his industries.

Zhao Zhi continued: "Then, Boss, let me share my thoughts on the development of your industries. First, we need to register a group company to include all your industries. Next, each industry needs to be strengthened.

First, take Hongbin Tower. Business at Hongbin Tower has been very good recently, and we have already accumulated over a dozen Second-level Death Soldiers with culinary skills. A single Hongbin Tower is no longer enough for so many master chefs to create value. Therefore, opening branches of Hongbin Tower is the inevitable trend. The boxed lunch business can also continue; it can serve as a branch industry of Hongbin Tower.

Second is the construction industry. I have looked at the written records; our people are currently working at various other construction sites, and there are nearly twenty skilled workers among them. With so many skilled workers along with the First-level Death Warriors, we can already establish a construction company. Since you have connections with real estate developers, getting work shouldn't be a problem. Therefore, establishing a construction company is also urgent.

Third is the moving crew. I looked into it and found that the moving crew's business is not very stable. Actually, we could establish a moving company. With the abilities of our First-level Death Warriors, it won't be long before we can shine in this industry.

Fourth, as for the pharmaceutical factory and the machinery manufacturing plant, they can be directly merged into the group. These two industries will be the pillar industries of the group in the future.

Fifth, the Security Company also needs to continue expanding. To stand out in this line of work, one must have extraordinary achievements. Therefore, Boss, you need to leverage your connections to find a high-difficulty, major contract to execute, so we can make a name for ourselves!

Also, Boss, you rely on us a bit too much. In fact, you can also recruit some outsiders into the industries. That way, with a mix of real and fake, you can better hide yourself."

After listening to Zhao Zhi's insights, Qin Yang felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. He secretly praised him in his heart; he was indeed a talent provided by the system—impressive.

Qin Yang naturally knew his own limits. As the saying goes, leave professional matters to professionals.

Simply put, Qin Yang became a hands-off boss, directly appointing Zhao Zhi as the CEO of the soon-to-be-established Qin Group and letting him handle everything according to his own ideas.

Zhao Zhi was full of confidence in himself, promising on the spot that he would get things done in the shortest possible time and not let down Qin Yang's expectations.

Although Qin Yang became a hands-off boss, he didn't forget Zhao Zhi's words. He wanted to find a major contract for the Security Company to make a name for it in the industry.

But major contracts weren't that easy to find, especially in a country as exceptionally safe as Dongda.

Qin Yang asked around among many of the bosses he met at the last boxing match, but he had no luck.

Just when Qin Yang was at his wit's end, Zhou Kang called him.

Regarding Zhou Kang, Qin Yang hadn't asked him for anything. Firstly, they weren't familiar with each other; secondly, he still hadn't repaid the favor from when he asked Zhou Kang to arrange a meeting with Wang Jian. Qin Yang was a man who had his pride and couldn't always take advantage of others for free. However, he was still quite surprised by Zhou Kang's call.

After connecting the call, the two exchanged a few pleasantries. When it came time to discuss serious matters, Zhou Kang became a bit hesitant.

Qin Yang then said: "President Zhou, just say what you have to say, there's no need for this. You said it yourself, we are friends!"
