"Can I take him once a month? The staff will be arranged by me?" Chen Hansheng asked confirmingly.

After receiving a positive reply from Wang Wen, he rubbed his hands excitedly and said tentatively, "Since it is cooperation, what do I need to do?"

Wang Wen raised his whole palm and made a "five" sign. "I need you to prepare at least five hundred Tower Climber to form a hundred teams. As my own personal Resource Team, I will search for specific supplies according to my instructions every month. You are responsible for the personnel salary, and other income except the items I designated have nothing to do with me."

"Resource Team?" Chen Hansheng was confused. "There is no problem in terms of number. Let alone five hundred, even five thousand can be used at any time, but their strength may be uneven, and..."

At this point, he lowered his voice slightly awkwardly. "And the tower floors may generally be lower."

"It doesn't matter how high the tower is, I can naturally make overall plans." When it comes to professional issues, Wang Wen seems majestic and confident. "You only need to do a good job of supervision and help me get the items I specified without being corrupted by individuals. Every time I leave the tower, I will collect their descriptions of the corresponding tower levels. Once I find someone has a problem, I hope you can pursue the person involved to ensure that my interests are not harmed, otherwise our cooperation will be suspended immediately."

"Of course, of course!" Chen Hansheng nodded repeatedly.

Mi Lailai next to him yawned and said, "You two are discussing national affairs, can I go and sleep next to you for a while? It's very harmful to the skin to bring people here in the middle of the night to delay their beauty sleep!"

Chen Hansheng glanced at her in embarrassment, and then looked at Wang Wen.

Wang Wen smiled and said, "We've almost finished talking. Let's go back and rest."

Mi Lailai, who had been feeling sleepy for a long time, immediately jumped up from the chair, stroked his skirt, swung his long legs and walked out the door first.

Chen Hansheng followed behind, holding Wang Wen's hand and shaking it, and said with gratitude, "No matter what the final result is, I have to thank you. No matter how I look at this cooperation method, I feel that I have taken advantage of it. Those five hundred Tower Climber will definitely make rapid progress and play a huge role in your hands, but you should not only accept specific materials for people and profits. It is equivalent to helping our group train the team for free. I, Chen Hansheng, have recorded this favor, and I will definitely repay it if I have the opportunity in the future!"

Wang Wen said politely, "Don't wait in the future. You can apply now and just give me the optical computer that comes with the top of the stage."

Not far away, Vice Chief Jiang, who was pretending to eat hot pot but was actually eavesdropping, spat out a mouthful of taro powder back into the bowl with a pop.

The last time Wang Wen asked him to buy optical computers on his behalf, he already had a detailed understanding of the prices of various grades.

That's really not something people can afford.

The most common and lowest configurations start at tens of thousands Point.

A slightly better one will break 100,000 immediately.

I don't know about the top-end model. It is said that it is not sold in regional specialty stores. You have to go to the headquarters to place an order. The capital must be verified before placing an order. Those with low assets are not allowed to order. Obviously, they do not believe that they can afford it unless the full payment is paid in advance.

But there's no need to guess the price of the top version.

Just the high-end models in regional specialty stores cost millions.

How much lower can the top configuration go?

Vice Chief Jiang thought to himself: Is this teacher Xiao Wang floating? Or is Philanthropy Group being slaughtered like a pig?

As the vice president of the Guard Department, of course he knows Chen Hansheng, the president of Third Consortium.

When Wang Wen answered the phone before, he was a little doubtful whether the performance was for him. When Chen Hansheng actually came to his door in person, he believed that Teacher Xiao Wang today is really different from the past.

But no matter how awesome you are, you can't open your mouth and just match the optical brain, right?

Philanthropy Group is not stupid!

Spend millions and tens of millions just to please you?

You, Teacher Xiao Wang, have only broken through the 300th level, what is it that deserves to be so hard to please?

Don't mess up a good thing because of greed!

Vice Chief Jiang has been eavesdropping, and can vaguely hear a few words, and guesses that the two people over there are discussing cooperation.

In his opinion, being able to cooperate with Third Consortium is a gratifying and great thing, and it would be a pity if it messed up.

I couldn't help but feel anxious for Wang Wen.

I'm afraid that Chen Hansheng opposite me will fall out.

Just when he was extremely anxious.

But Chen Hansheng on the other side asked with surprise on his face, "Really? Isn't that too polite? Are you sure you can just use ordinary items from outside the tower? That's something you can buy with money!"

"Poof!" Not far away, Vice Chief Jiang, who had just anxiously poured the taro powder in the bowl into his mouth, vomited it back again.

Under the astonished gaze of the guards nearby, he looked down at the taro powder in the bowl that looked like a pile of shit, and put down the bowl and chopsticks with regret on his face.

Here Wang Wen smiled and said to Chen Hansheng, "Of course, it saves me a trip myself."

He knew very well what Chen Hansheng meant, and knew that the other party felt that he had taken advantage of him and wanted to compensate in some other ways.

But from Wang Wen's point of view, this is a business that you and I are willing to do. There is no debt or favor. It's good if everyone can perform the contract normally.

He has very low expectations of human nature.

All the so-called cooperation is actually just to save him time in collecting low-level resources, so that he can concentrate on sprinting to higher tower levels without any distractions.

Otherwise, he would have to search the lower tower levels himself, which would be inefficient and waste time on the tower.

Just like that trip not long ago, I climbed the tower while looking for props. It took several days to reach the 100th floor. In the end, I sprinted with all my strength for more than ten hours and reached the same number. It was still a high-quality 100th floor from two hundred to three hundred.

There is a big difference between the two.

If he could really have a qualified partner to help him save time in collecting props and resources, then there's no telling who took the big advantage.

But.

Then again, since the other party takes the initiative to express his gratitude.

Then how could a thousand-year-old goblin like Wang Wen be let go so easily?

It is better to use items outside the tower to offset it in an understatement than to have the other party repay the pain one day in the future.

On the one hand, change passiveness into activeness.

On the other hand, what is repaid with heartache is revenge, and what is easily offset is kindness. Although the favor has been "settled" like this now, it seems that a greater favor has been accepted, and the other party will do its best to maintain cooperation.

At least it will be more caring than Wang Wen.

After all, the favors owed for this cooperation have been "settled", and all the remaining fruits will be regarded by the other party as their deserved income, and they will be more afraid of the suspension of the cooperation than Wang Wen.

This is another perspective of "sunk cost".

The "initiated" Chen Hansheng first used the corner of his eye to glance at the strange creature holding a bowl in the hall and eating and vomiting. Then he looked seriously at Wang Wen who was smiling. He couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and praised, "A... Mr. Wang is so generous! It's too late today. I guarantee the goods will arrive before three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I will contact you then."

Wang Wen nodded with a smile and sent away the satisfied Chen Hansheng with satisfaction.

Vice Chief Jiang walked to the door with a complicated expression, looked at Wang Wen and asked, "Why?"

"Why?" Wang Wen was puzzled.

"What kind of cooperation did you discuss?" Vice Chief Jiang's face was filled with questions. "Why does the dignified president of Philanthropy Group try so hard to please you?"

Wang Wen smiled.

After thinking about it, he said, "It's the same as before."

He didn't lie.

Indeed the same.

It's all a win-win.

It's just that some people feel that they have taken advantage, and some people feel that Wang Wen has taken advantage.

In fact, there is nothing cheap about it.

Everyone is just cooperating.

The original Guard Department failed to reach cooperation, which was a loss for both parties.

Now Philanthropy Group has reached a cooperation, which will benefit both parties.

There is no right or wrong for adults, just do what you need.

PS: Most of the time when I tell stories, I prefer metaphors, sneaking some truths through different people's reactions. I don't like to write long explanations clearly, as if I'm teaching the bosses how to do things. I thought I understood everything, so I just laughed it off. But I recently found that some friends can't understand, and they will be very angry. I have always questioned why we should cooperate with others, why we should recruit enemies, why this and why that, I thought about it, and then tell them why. If you don't like this kind of long explanation, please leave a message and tell me, I will correct this way of writing after banning those angry friends, hehe.
