Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 361: The Ultimate Stupidity

Shanying was fully relaxed because of the arrival of Killer Bee and his friends...

After setting up six sentry systems that seemed extremely mysterious to others, Shanying used all his skills to organize an evening barbecue on the terrace of the cafe.

The food was definitely not delicious, and we drank in moderation, but the atmosphere was inexplicably good.

The only one who was unhappy was Marta...

The girl led her new black-backed companion to mess with the mountain eagle, causing dinner to be delayed for one minute, and then she was sent to feed the dogs.

There are 9 big dogs and 14 small dogs. Feeding them all is a physically demanding task.

They would eat one and a half bags of 20 kilograms of dog food in total, and Marta had to pour the dog food into their food bowls one by one.

The first few Dobermans who had eaten their fill circled around their companions, shook their heads and pestered their parents for a few times, but found that they could not get food from their parents' food bowls, so they simply held their own food bowls in their mouths and begged Marta for food with ding-dong sounds.

These chubby half-grown puppies are very cute and make Sunset Mountain even more lively.

Shanying had not had time to get to know these new dogs. While he was drinking and barbecuing, he looked at the smiling Sophia and said, "How are they? Are they easy to control?"

Sophia listened, tapped the earphones on her ears, and said to a big dog: "Monday, sit down..."

A large Doberman who was eating was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look in Sophia's direction, then sat down on the ground nimbly, holding his head high and looking straight ahead.

Many people think that Doberman is a skinny dog, but in fact the real Greater Doberman is very strong. Not only does it have strong limbs, but because it is a short-haired dog, the muscle lines of its body are very obvious.

If you get close to them, you will feel that they are really strong.

It’s certainly an exaggeration to say they are the Dwayne Johnson of dogs, but it’s certainly not an exaggeration to say they are the Chris Hemsworth of dogs.

These dogs in particular are of selected and selected superior breeds specially imported from Europe by the Krabi Police Dog Center as a gift to the king. They not only have larger skeletons, but also smoother and fuller muscles.

Unfortunately, in order to comply with political correctness, the king rejected these six excellent guard dogs and chose several trained stray dogs to guard the house. Then, these six guard dogs that had undergone rigorous training became a burden that cost the Krabi Police Dog Center money.

Because the demand for guard dogs among the Thai military and police is so low, drug-sniffing dogs and bomb-sniffing dogs can still find work at airports and train stations, but guard dogs, a very aggressive breed, are not popular.

And as they multiply, the burden on the Krabi Police Dog Center grows.

When the mountain eagle, the scapegoat, jumped out, the Krabi Police Dog Center couldn't wait to throw them to Sunset Mountain.

Shanying really got a good deal this time, as the price of introducing these six Dobermans was not low at all.

Their names are also very interesting. The six ones represent Monday to Saturday, and they are naturally not there on Sundays because they have a rest period.

The days for male Dobermans are odd, which means Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Female Dobermans have even numbers, which are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

The names of the twelve little Dobermans are even more interesting, from January to December.

The Eagle picked up a Doberman that was always circling around him and curiously staring at the grill. He checked its dog tag and found that its name was "February"...

Seeing this little thing with a bandage on its ear, sticking out its tongue and looking at him flatteringly, Shanying smiled and grabbed a few pieces of dog food, put them in his palm and fed them into the little thing's mouth...

It didn't matter that it was fed. The other puppies seemed to have received some signal and gathered around, biting its tail and starting to pry at the eagle.

Mountain Eagle liked this lively scene very much, but he liked those Dobermans who obeyed his orders even more.

Sophia noticed what the Eagle was thinking. She clicked on the headphones and asked the Doberman to continue eating. Then she looked at the Eagle and said with a smile, "What you gave me is magical. It seems that as long as I say the correct command, they can understand it no matter it is in Russian or English."

The mountain eagle smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, this is the masterpiece of some scientists who have worked hard. After you have a tacit understanding with them, you can order them to do more things.

It is more useful to take two Dobermans with you when you go out than to take a team of bodyguards with you.

There aren't many people who can beat them one-on-one!"

Sophia listened, smiled and picked up a puppy, saying, "Let's leave them to Sunset Mountain. I'm going to buy two books on dog training to read.

I would rather raise two little guys like this myself, so that they can develop a better rapport from an early age.”

Shanying did not particularly agree with Sofia's conclusion. A dog that had undergone rigorous training would definitely react differently to commands than a dog he raised himself.

However, there are not so many requirements for guard dogs. While intimidating those around them, the value of guard dogs lies in their ability to bite their owners when they see them shouting for help.

If Sophia likes it, then it's definitely up to her.

Sophia looked at Shanying's noncommittal expression, she smiled and said nothing...

She could see the value of the dog training tools provided by Mountain Eagle, and the first thing she thought of was to maximize the effectiveness of this tool.

So she decided to help Shanying train those little Dobermans while she had some time. As for herself, she liked more ferocious and adaptable dog breeds...

For example, the Caucasian is a breed of dog that can survive and thrive in areas with very cold winters like Great Russia.

Sophia does not like the handsome short-haired Doberman.

This seemingly gentle girl is extremely close to the pragmatists and the Fauvists in her aesthetic taste for certain things.

Seeing that Sophia didn't seem to want to discuss this issue in depth, Shanying smiled and changed the subject, saying, "I still remember you said you wanted to try the life of a fisherman.

It just so happens that we have one more fisherman in our team. After we finish our work here, we will go out to sea together to experience the joy of fishing.

Chakdi took me to a hidden bay that day that was absolutely beautiful and full of fish.”

Sophia was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shanying who suddenly became interested in her private life. She smiled and nodded and said, "You are the boss. If you say you want me to take a day off, I will go fishing on my day off."

Shanying, who had already realized his problem, nodded and said, "I still need to rest. People are not machines..."

Sophia listened, smiled and nodded, saying, "The boss must first slow himself down, otherwise we workers will always worry that we can't keep up with the pace and will be eliminated in the end."

Sophia glanced at Killer Bee who was drinking with the butcher...

The "big sister" was telling the butcher about her sad history with tears and swearing that she would cut herself off by the end of this year, which frightened the butcher. The broadcaster was showing off his female resources to Eddie with his mobile phone, and strongly recommended that he go and experience it if he had time.

Sophia suddenly shook her head with a bit of amusement and said, "Perhaps only people like me who are naturally optimistic and simple-minded can remain unaffected by you."

Shanying touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Did I put a lot of pressure on others before?"

Sophia nodded and said, "That's right. The past half month has been my most efficient period at work. Many things have been moving forward very quickly, even a little too fast.

This is not a good thing for building a network using that list of corrupt policemen...

There is a saying in China that more haste makes waste!

I'm actually very clear about the pros and cons, but I just can't slow down.

I don’t want to look like I’m slacking off because you’re always working.”

Sophia hesitated and said, “This working habit is actually not good, because not everyone can be fast and efficient at the same time.

Acting too fast will make us ignore some details. In the end, even if we have achieved results, we still have to go back and clean up the parts we have overlooked during the implementation process.

This approach is actually only effective in the early stages of team building, and will have a negative impact over time.

But you are the boss and you have the final say on everything, so if you want to be fast, we will stick with you.”

Shanying knew where his problem lay. He used to be just a corporate executive. It was true that he was self-disciplined, but being in a place like that, he was somewhat tainted with formalism.

At the same time, he is habitually fast, in large part because he wants to achieve results as soon as possible. As for solving problems that arise during the rapid advancement of the project, to some extent it is a manifestation of ability within that system.

To put it bluntly, it is done for higher-level leaders to see!
Shanying is well aware that slowness has its advantages, but in a highly competitive environment, slowing down means that you may not have any written results to report for several months.

This is not a problem caused simply by impetuousness or formalism, but a phenomenon that is bound to occur when internal circulation reaches a certain level.

A lot of formalism, repetitive labor, meaningless labor, and various hybrid words created to highlight efficiency in the eyes of grassroots employees...

These are actually pushed by middle and senior management in order to make themselves appear senior, busy and useful in the eyes of their bosses.

Is it useful? Somewhat!
However, if one's own abilities are insufficient, they will only be of some use in administrative management, and will have a negative effect on business management.

Shanying grew up in this kind of environment, so it was natural for him to have this kind of problem...

But there is one good thing about him, that is, he endures himself and motivates the people below him by enduring himself.

Many of his former subordinates, after being promoted and transferred to other departments, would tell him that they could learn a lot from Brother Yue, but it was too tiring!
After hearing Sophia repeatedly remind him intentionally or unintentionally that "you are the boss", Shanying nodded and said, "Don't worry, take your time. The things that need to be finalized have been finalized, and the rest can be pushed forward slowly.

Otherwise, I am worried that the government and parliamentary officials in Krabi will not be able to handle it and my good intentions will turn into a bad thing.

From today on, you will also take on the responsibility of communicating with the Krabi government. I am the boss now, so of course I should take good care of my injuries, enjoy life, and then do what I am best at. "

Sophia listened, nodded slightly and said: "Mr. Poincare is looking for the right people to build a team. This kind of thing can't be rushed...

But fortunately, the initiative is in our hands, and it is easy for me to sort out the interpersonal relationships in Krabi."

Sophia looked at Shanying and said with a smile: "In fact, Krabi is not the most ideal base in your mind, right?"

Shanying was stunned for a moment, nodded and shook his head...

“I actually hope that Krabi is our comfort zone, not our profit zone…

Mr. Poincare suggested to me several times that I could use Krabi as a transit point for black money, but I never made up my mind.

Because this is Thailand, it has a relatively mature legal, institutional and social environment. I don’t want to destroy Krabi’s temperament and state. I would rather treat it as a place to rest.”

Shanying looked at Sophia and said seriously: “I can make a profit from the financial market, but the financial market has a ceiling for non-powerful individuals.

Those of us who engage in illegal activities want to make a lot of money, want to protect our wealth, and most importantly, find a place where we can customize the laws!

Otherwise, when we have enough money, we will become the target of the real big sharks. "

Sophia looked at Shanying in surprise and said, "You are actually worried about this?
Do you know what level of worry you have to have to be justified?"

Shanying shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with how much money you have...

As soon as money leaves your comfort zone, you'll find that protecting it becomes expensive.

Just like black money anywhere, its purchasing power cannot compare to income from formal channels.

Sometimes having a lot of money is useless. You need to have the ability to manage and protect the money.

Otherwise, you can only seek support from powerful people and make large donations to seek a last-place position in some powerful groups, or you will not be able to escape the fate of having your gold coins exploded."

After hearing this, Sophia frowned and said curiously: “Boss, do you know what you are talking about?

That $8000 million is not yours, and our own funds are not even worthy of attention now."

Shanying listened and said with a smile: "You are wrong, making money is just a process, managing and protecting money are just means.

What I want is to control my own destiny!
I lost a lot of things, my career, my family, my relatives, my children...

I want to get all of this back!
If we want to get them back, it's not enough to just fight or make money...

I have to take control of my own destiny, then I can muster up the courage to try and get back what's mine!"

As Shanying looked at Sophia's puzzled expression, he smiled and said, "I can't explain the difficulty here to you, but you will help me, right?"

Sophia nodded subconsciously. Just as she was about to speak, a buzzing alarm sounded on the second floor of the cafe...

Zorn dropped the beer in his hand and rushed to the second floor. Soon his voice sounded on the radio...

"A car drove in from the road, two people..."
