Chapter 988: Growing Power (2)

Because of the arrival of the members of the Secret Society, the originally deserted base instantly became overcrowded.

Hu Fei had previously calculated that this base could accommodate up to 400 people. Coupled with Ling Chen's own manpower, there were more than a hundred people. In order to temporarily settle them, Ling Chen had to temporarily increase the number of beds, and the original room for only four people was increased to six people. Luckily, the rooms are relatively large, so they don't feel cramped even if you live six people.

However, the problem of living is solved, but Ling Chen also faces a bigger problem, that is, eating.

In the past, when I was researching the base, the whole base added up to less than 100 people, at most about 70 or 80 people, and they usually went out to buy takeaways. Now, however, there have been a sudden increase of a few hundred, and this has immediately become a big problem. You can't ask people to go out to buy takeout for every meal, right? Four or five hundred takeaways are terrifying to think about. In this way, the cost of eating alone every day is not a small expense.

When the time comes, Hu Fei, who is in charge of managing money, is estimated to be complaining to Ling Chen every day.

"What a headache!"

Ling Chen sat alone in the dining room of the base, holding his forehead with his hands, thinking of a solution. Before, he was just an agent of the Ghost, and he only had to carry out orders, and nothing else was necessary. Later, there was a research base and a group of men. However, because of Hu Fei's help, Ling Chen didn't need to worry too much.

But now it's different, as the head of the family, the head of the entire base, he can't shirk his responsibilities to others.

"What are you thinking?"

At this time, the porridge girl came over from behind, put her hands on Ling Chen's shoulders, and kneaded them gently.

Ling Chen smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I haven't adapted to my current identity yet. I really don't know what to do when I suddenly have to manage so many people's food and drink. ”

"No one is born a leader, they all slowly gain experience. Besides, with everyone to help you, you don't have to worry too much. Here's a list of the Secret Society, so let's take a look at it. ”

Taking the document handed by the porridge girl, Ling Chen glanced at it a few times, and a trace of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Aren't there only about 400 people from the Secret Society? Why are there more than 800 people here? Isn't there still half of them?"

"Don't worry, the other 400 people are all intelligence officers of the Secret Society, they are distributed in various cities in Huaxia Kingdom, and they are specifically responsible for collecting intelligence, and they will not live in the base. The Order's fame is mainly due to its intelligence network. At present, the Organization of God has concentrated its forces in Huaxia, so I only retain the intelligence network of Huaxia, and the foreign intelligence network has been reduced to one-tenth of what it used to be. ”

"That's right!" the porridge girl changed her words and said, "Over the years, the secret society has accumulated a lot of funds, and Master told me that those funds are stored in the bank, and he has already told me the password, if you want funds, you can ask me." ”

"How much money?" Ling Chen asked.

"I don't know the exact number, but it should be tens of billions. ”

"Tens of billions?" Ling Chen was slightly stunned. It is worthy of being a secret society, and the background is really rich.

"Master said that in addition to the bank's funds, there is also a part of the shares. Over the years, Master has used that money to invest in many enterprises, and the annual profit is about 5 billion. As long as you don't touch those shares, you will have a regular income coming in every year. In the past, before the Secret Society was weakened, the annual cost was about 20 billion yuan, but now that the Secret Society has greatly reduced its staff, it should not be able to use so much money. In short, you save some money, don't squander it all at once. ”

Hearing this, Ling Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, leave the matter of money to Hu Fei, that guy regards money as his life, and puts the money with him to make sure it's okay." ”

With a huge amount of money as the backing, Ling Chen suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

As the saying goes, money is easy to do, and there is nothing that money can't solve.

Back at the control center, Ling Chen saw Hu Fei, Tang Guolun, Zhou Qi and others gathered together, not knowing what they were discussing.

"Ling Chen. Tang Guolun beckoned and motioned for Ling Chen to come over.

Coming to everyone's side, Ling Chen asked, "What are you discussing?"

"We have a little trouble right now. Tang Guolun pointed to the surveillance screen displayed on the big screen and said, "Although we have occupied the base of the God Organization, the building on this base was funded by the Ling family. Moreover, the construction site is not yet completed, which makes it very inconvenient for us to travel. Most importantly, the Organization of God knows the structure of the base very well, and they know where the entrances and exits are. If they send someone to spy on us, it will definitely cause us a lot of trouble. So, a few of us just discussed and wanted to make some changes to this base. ”

"Transformation?" Ling Chen asked curiously, "How to change?"

"Rebuild the two entrances and exits. Hu Fei continued: "I have just checked the building structure diagram of the base, and there are several more suitable places to start construction. We now have enough manpower and enough equipment to support the base. As long as we work overtime, we should be able to open a channel within three days. ”

After listening to Hu Fei's arrangement, Ling Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I have no opinion, you can handle this matter." ”

Tang Guolun was all anxious, and after getting Ling Chen's permission, everyone immediately got busy.

Because the defense on the first floor of the base is very strong, everyone chooses to dig a passage on the second floor of the base. Ling Chen supervised beside him, and when he saw that the excavation was progressing smoothly, he became the shopkeeper and handed over the matter to Tang Guolun.

Fearing that the God Organization would send people to monitor outside, Ling Chen and the others have been staying in the base for the past few days and have not gone out.

After two and a half days of hard work by more than 100 people, the passage on the second floor of the base was finally completed. The passage is about three meters wide and can accommodate one car in and out. It is more than forty meters long and leads to an underground parking lot on the north side of the base.

Building the entrance and exit in the underground parking lot will undoubtedly increase the concealment.

Ling Chen is very satisfied with the results of his work in the past few days. As the saying goes, there is a lot of strength in numbers, and it is not easy to complete such a large project in a short time.

After the passage was built, Ling Chen personally drove outside the base and purchased a large amount of tobacco, alcohol and food, which was specially used to treat everyone.

After a busy morning, Ling Chen sat in the bedroom of the base, crossed Erlang's legs, and was about to take a rest.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang.

The phone was connected, Ling Chen 'hey' and asked, "Haozi, is there something wrong with me?"

"Brother Chen, where have you been these days, you haven't seen anyone. ”

"Didn't I tell your sister, I've been busy these days. What, you're looking for me?"
