The extraordinary life of a certain American comic.

Chapter 177 Small Things and Big Things

make money!

Must make money.

After Locke suddenly realized yesterday that each of his women seemed to be richer than him, he became completely restless.

If I don’t find a way to make money, I’m afraid I’ll really have to rely on others for money.

But he has a very strong appetite.

Not used to eating soft food.

and so……

Making money is urgent.

Jack listened to Locke saying that he was short of money, and he stood up from the sofa with a bang, and his eyes seemed to be glowing: "Boss, I have a good idea, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Locke looked at Jack, whose reaction was even greater than his, and raised an eyebrow.

next second.

He set his eyes directly on Debbie, who had been sitting on the sofa and looked very quiet.

"Debbie, you go first."

"Boss!"

Jack was fed up and said to Locke, "Boss, I said it first."

Locke glanced at Jack: "Are you short of money?"

Jack nodded and said, "Of course we do, Boss. You know the housing prices in Manhattan."

Ok.

Just another man who despaired over the high cost of housing in Manhattan.

Locke thought about it, then hesitated for a second or two: "Then tell me your idea."

Jack's eyes lit up. "Boss, we can order the New York State Sentinels to hand over the vampire fangs they have confiscated."

As we all know, vampire fangs are very popular on the black market.

but……

"Get lost! Believe it or not, I will step down tomorrow after I give you this order."

Locke knew that Jack couldn't come up with any reliable ideas, and said speechlessly: "And you even want to rob the money below. I'm surprised you thought of that."

Why are the Sentinels more active in exterminating vampires than capturing mutants?

the reason is simple.

There is no bonus for capturing mutants, but there is real extra money to be made by killing vampires.

Doesn't Locke know that vampire fangs are very profitable?

But he launched this wave of vampire offensive not only to plunder a huge amount of extraordinary points for himself, but also to win the hearts of the sentinel agents below with this wave of vampire offensive.

In a word.

As soon as he came to power, the Sentinel agents made extra money.

If you were a Sentinel agent, would you choose to follow a leader who doesn't even let you drink soup, or a leader who takes you to drink soup?

This is why Locke asked Blade to tell the Sentinel agents below that Vampire Fangs can make money.

and so……

Locke rolled his eyes at Jack, then looked at Debbie with hope: "Debbie, tell me what you think."

Debbie looked up and glanced silently at Jack.

Jack was stunned at first, then seemed to think of something, and said in disbelief: "Debbie, you don't want me to go out, we are a team, boss, look at Debbie."

Locke looked at Jack who was reporting his parents and shook his head speechlessly: "Okay, Debbie, stop teasing him. Jack may be a little silly, but his loyalty is unquestionable."

Debbie shrugged.

She didn't say anything, it was Jack who overreacted.

"We can also sell pardon tickets like other action managers."

"Pardon?"

Locke said it was the first time he heard of this term and looked at Debbie curiously: "What is this?"

Debbie explained, "To put it simply, if the X gene of the children of the wealthy people in New York State is awakened, they can use money to buy tickets. In return, as long as it does not cause a big impact, we will not catch them. Even if we catch them, we will not send them to Stryker's mutant laboratory."

Jack, who was standing by, was full of curiosity when he heard this.

"This is the first time I've heard of this thing. Do we still have this thing for sale? Boss?"

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Locke glanced at Jack, and also looked at Debbie curiously: "Why haven't I heard of this before?"

Debbie shrugged. "I just found out about it a few days ago. The head of the California operations department added me and said I agreed. So I was added. Then they sent me a list of people across the country who had purchased pardon vouchers."

"California?"

Locke remembered: "I did receive a call a few days ago, saying it was a private group for the national operations director and information group leader, so it was convenient for us to communicate with each other."

It turns out that love is a matter of mutual support.

He just said it.

Locke had always been curious about one thing: the awakening of the X gene was clear to be regardless of skin color or class.

But he had been at the New York Sentinel for two years, and he had never seen or heard of any rich man's children awakening the X gene.

At that time, Locke began to suspect whether Gene X was anti-rich.

There is such a thing in feelings.

Right.

It is difficult for other departments to prove the validity of a pardon, but the operations director has this right.

After all, the operations chief belongs to the current manager, while other departments, and even the Washington headquarters, are at most a county magistrate.

As we all know, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager.

"hiss!"

"So, this is the secret of why they drive luxury cars and live in luxury houses?"

"These worms!"

Locke gritted his teeth, feeling disgusted by the actions of the other action managers.

He expressed deep condemnation.

Locke condemned it in his heart for three seconds, then looked at Debbie: "How much is this thing?"

Debbie said, "Before, each region had a different price, after all, prices vary. But then the other operations managers decided that they couldn't afford to engage in a price war, so they simply unified the standard to one million."

Wow, this thing has formed a pricing alliance?
Locke's eyes lit up.

"One million per copy, how many copies can you sell in a month?"

"It depends on how many rich people's children become mutants this month. After all, this kind of thing must be done secretly, so only the action directors and confidants in various places know about it."

"So I'm not your confidant, Boss?"

Jack on the side looked at Locke with resentful eyes.

Locke waved his hand and said, "Don't interrupt me," and continued to say to Debbie, "This thing seems to rely too much on the fertility of the rich. Is there any way to make it last longer?"

Debbie thought about it and nodded.

"Also."

"explain."

"Boss, have you forgotten the vampire operation that was carried out throughout New York State? Most of these vampires own properties. Logically speaking, these properties are suspected of crimes and should be seized by us."

Hearing this, Locke frowned and said, "Didn't we seal it?"

Debbie shook her head: "No."

Yes.

Although vampires are not as rich as blood races, most of them have their own houses.

Although the seizure of these houses was theoretically the responsibility of the Sentinel Secret Service.

But these house sentinels are useless to the Secret Service, as they will eventually return to individuals.

And there is a lot of fun in this.

but……

"This kind of thing should be the responsibility of the financial director. It has nothing to do with us."

"You may have."

Debbie shrugged. "The finance department wasn't involved in the operation. We seized the items and then transferred them to the finance department."

Locke understood.

He touched his chin.

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"Other states do the same thing with mutants."

"Then do it."

Locke made the decision immediately.

Other states play this way, so he has to play this way too. This is called blending in with the world.

If he doesn't do it, if something happens in the future and he has to go to other states, other states probably won't pay any attention to him.

In a word.

We are not one of us, why should I help you?

When Debbie saw Locke make the decision, it seemed that her mind was opened up. One idea after another popped up in her mind, which made Locke very excited.

Jack even took a deep breath from time to time, he never expected that it could be done this way.

Locke was very excited, but also curious: "Debbie, how do you know so much?"

Debbie sighed: "It's what the group leaders in the group were talking about."

She is very pure. These things were discussed by the information group leaders of the action directors from other states in the group.

After all, everyone works for their respective operations supervisors.

It is said that it was thought up by the operations director of California in the 1990s. He believed that one person could not do as well as a group of people, and he was also a guy with extraordinary action ability. He flew across the country and connected the operations directors of various states one by one.

then……

This small group of fifty people, which only the state operations director knows about and only the information team leader most trusted by the operations director is qualified to join, has been passed down from generation to generation.

Let's say that.

At this point in time, even a novice manager, once exposed to it, will immediately know how to make money reasonably and legally.

Debbie looked at Locke curiously and asked, "Boss, didn't the California supervisor tell you when he called you?"

Locke shook his head and touched his chin: "Maybe he thinks it's unsafe to talk about this over the phone."

After all, if this thing were to be exposed, it would be a huge scandal.

Most of the XX scandals were exposed through chatting.

Locke thought of this and looked at Debbie.

"Your group won't be recorded, right?"

"will not."

"So sure?"

"Because the backend of this software is in the hands of the director in Washington."

"..."

Locke was silent.

He suddenly understood why Director Andrew hung up on him just now.

"Cough cough!"

Locke decisively ended the topic, looked at Jack, and shifted the topic from trivial matters to serious business.

"How's the investigation into the bank theft going?"

"It's basically the same as what's in the dossier."

Jack replied: "There are no signs of external invasion, and the possibility of an internal spy has been ruled out. It can basically be concluded that it was indeed done by a mutant who can use space."

"Any clues?"

"No."

Jack shook his head. "Besides, there haven't been any new reports of bank thefts recently. If we don't stop, it will be hard to find them."

Space mutants are the hardest to catch.

This is recognized by the Sentinel Secret Service.

Unless they arrive nearby quietly and set up an X-ability inhibitor, otherwise, the other party will be able to disappear in an instant if they think about it.

"Don't worry, take your time."

Locke also knew that space mutants were difficult to catch, so he said this directly and then changed the subject to the vampire operation that was currently in full swing in New York State.
