American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

"Give me intelligence units and superpowers; those two idiots can't do the job."

One sentence enraged Dio and Wang Hu. If Xu Fu hadn't been there, he would have definitely grabbed Dio and given him a good beating.

The three choices aligned with Xu Fu's principles. The head of the security department was a matter of the company's reputation, and he couldn't let someone like Tony Wu, with his shifty eyes, be his boyfriend. Clearly, he was self-aware. Wang Hu had enough presence, but his cold and ruthless personality would inevitably lead to trouble in the long run. Of the three, Dior was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. His looks, temperament, and personality were all beyond question, and his unisex face was a bonus. He could handle men, so women would be even easier to win over.

As for the Hongmen Hall Master and the Superpower Team, Wang Hu and Tony Wu are both suitable candidates. Don't let their fierce appearance and shifty eyes fool you; both are equally intelligent. No fool can become a high-ranking member of the Young Master Gang.

The group stayed at the nightclub until 9 p.m., and then dispersed.

When they returned home, Billy and Charlie were already waiting for them in the living room, along with several SHOE veterans, including Cindy, Philip, Zack, Rowan, and Barry Allen. The future Flash possessed extraordinary intelligence and skill in computers, and within less than two months of joining the company, he defeated all his competitors to become the second-in-command of the technology department, second only to Zack Berg.

They came here for only one reason: Bluebird and Tesla.

The first batch of cocoa was sent by Zuckerberg.

"Boss, are you really going to start two companies at the same time?"

"Yes!"

"What about the shoes?"

Cindy said this urgently, and these words echoed in everyone's hearts. Everyone felt that Xu Fu's future was centered around Qingniao and Tesla, and SHOE was at most a third party. This was unimaginable for a company that had been established for less than half a year. After all, it was impossible for SHOE to become an internet company with a market value of over 100 million in just a few months.

Xu Fu sat up straight, calmly surveyed everyone, and then spoke slowly.

“I said before that the purpose of these shoes is to connect the world and shorten distances. This is a dream, not only my dream, but also yours. The future development of these shoes will be unimaginable. They will become an indispensable part of people’s daily lives. They will shorten the distance between nations and countries and allow diverse cultures to blend. In a few months, I believe you will see the potential of these shoes. They will become a symbol of time, and you, the discoverers of this symbol, are destined to go down in history. Of course…” He shrugged and said half-jokingly.

He was also destined to become a billionaire.

“SHOE is very important to me, as are Bluebird and Tesla.”

"Wait a minute, I want to show you something."

Chapter 1133 Meat and Potatoes!

Xu Fu has a clear and specific plan for the future.

SHOE is the foundation. When it becomes a necessity for 30 billion people, Xu Fu will become the mouthpiece of the world. At that time, he will be freed from the shackles of the state, the law, and the army, and become an existence outside the world.

The Bluebird and Tesla were primarily designed for manufacturing battle armor. Ghost 1 was indeed created, but it never appeared before the world. This was Xu Fu's greatest regret. He dreamed that one day he could wear battle armor, jump off the top floor, and, under the astonished, admiring, and envious gazes of the crowd, leap into the air and disappear into the sky like a streak of light.

Unfortunately, dreams are just dreams, and reality doesn't allow it: once Ghost's armor is exposed, the Department of Defense will come knocking on his door the next second, using various methods to force Xu Fu to hand over the blueprints, or like Tony Stark in Iron Man, to build a pair of armored vehicles for the government.

Xu Fu didn't want to do either of these things. To avoid trouble, he could only conceal his identity and wait until his power was enough to ignore the entire United States before donning his bright armor and announcing to the world: he was Ghost.

Of course, all of this requires time to accumulate; without strength, everything is in vain.

Under the curious or puzzled gazes of the crowd, the door to the experimental room opened, and a bulky robot with two arms and two legs, but no head, with something resembling a power board on its back, and external iron rings on its wrists and elbows, looking just like an exoskeleton from a science fiction movie, slowly walked out.

Xu Fu walked to the armor, turned around, and smiled.

"Is this what I wanted to show you?"

Zack was taken aback: "-Exoskeleton armor?"

"You might think that way, but there are still some differences between the two."

Xu Fu turned on the power, and the armor opened automatically, forming a human-shaped outline. At the same time, blue light emanated from the right sleeve and thigh, giving it a unique technological advantage.

Who wants to try?

Without hesitation, Barry raised his arms and ran quickly to the armor. Following Xu Fu's instructions, he inserted his hands and feet into the iron rings. The rings closed, and the outer armor contracted, clinging tightly to his body.

A strange feeling came over me.

Barry tried to lift his legs, and his body staggered for a moment, seemingly unable to adapt to the mech's movement frequency, but he recovered in the next moment, moving his arms and saying incredulously.

"In fact, the armor will automatically adjust its balance."

Xu Fu shrugged: "Balance sensors, basic robotics technology."

"Barry, lift the sofa up."

The future Flash nodded, walked to the sofa, and effortlessly lifted the 40-pound sofa to everyone's astonishment. He felt it wasn't too much for him, so he pulled hard, and the sofa was lifted up.

敲门

Headed straight for the roof.

"That's so cool! That jumping ability is amazing! I feel like Superman!"

Barry laughed like a child who had received a new toy. Several young men in the room got itchy and grabbed his arm, put on their own armor, and jumped around the room.

The oldest, Philip, exclaimed sincerely.

You always surprise me every time we meet.

Cindy asked incredulously, "Boss, is this the product Tesla is preparing to launch?"

Xu Fu took a sip of red wine and said indifferently, "It's just one of the things."

"What about the rest?"

Xu Fu promoted the idea by saying, "You'll know when the time is right."

Philip sighed. "No wonder you created Tesla and the Bluebird. Compared to SHOE, these are the things that truly change the world." As he spoke, he frowned slightly, his expression revealing the seriousness of the situation.

“Xu Fu, you must be careful. The military value of exoskeleton armor far exceeds its civilian value. Once it is released, governments around the world will be watching you and will try every means to take the core technology from you.”

Don't worry, Arthur, I'm ready.

Xu Fu put down his wine glass and shouted, "Stop playing around, all of you! Put down your armor, I have something to say!"

The people who had gathered returned to their seats with great interest, their eyes darting back and forth over the armor; clearly, they were not yet satisfied.

Xu Fu coughed and pouted.

“You are all veterans of SHOE, with no issues regarding your abilities, character, or talent. Since you're here today, I'd like to ask you: who among you is interested in switching jobs to work at Tesla?”

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was stunned. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt. Remember, their purpose in coming today was to get Xu Fu to focus on developing SHOE and not waste his energy on other things. How did this talk turn into another form of poaching?

The new job should be fun!

Zuckerberg and Barry Allen looked at the armor and jumped slightly.

Xu Fu glanced at everyone's expressions and continued, "No need to rush to answer. Think about it carefully when you get back. If you want a change of environment, give me a call. SHOE or Tesla, choose one."

Cindy replied angrily, "Boss, you've gone too far, openly spying on or poaching your employees."

· ·Requesting flowers····· ······

Xu Fu said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. The new company has just been established and we are severely understaffed. I don't trust many people, so I think you are the most suitable for this job."

"That's enough for today. Call whoever you want, but make sure to arrange the work before you leave. I won't allow SHOE to have any problems because of this. If any problems arise, I will immediately dissolve the company."

In his last sentence, Xu Fu's tone was very stern, carrying an unmistakable force.

The group chatted for another half hour before leaving the villa with mixed feelings of enthusiasm and complexity.

Everyone else had left, leaving only Charlie and Billy, one Xu Fu's cousin and the other a barber who had grown up with Xu Fu, both of whom were absolute believers.

 …

In the living room on the first floor, Xu Fu lit a cigarette and asked with a cold expression.

What do you plan to do with this money?

Charlie quickly stood up: "Young Master, I've wanted to talk to you about this for a long time. I think we can't delay any longer; it will be very dangerous if we do."

"Danger!"

Xu Fu raised an eyebrow: "What danger?"

Charlie glanced at Proportion, who said through gritted teeth, "A week ago, both of our cars broke down. The brakes failed while going downhill, and we almost fell into the valley!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu's face immediately darkened, and his slightly narrowed eyes conveyed a chilling killing intent.

"Who did this?"

Charlie shook his head: "I haven't figured it out yet, but Billy and I both think that these people aren't here to arrest us, but to get SHOE to fund them."

Xu Fu stared at him for a while before speaking.

"They were so eager to send money."

Charlie said helplessly, "It's not that they're in a hurry, but SHOE's growth rate is too fast. Thanks to recent events such as the mummified corpse case, the vice president's kidnapping, the election, the presidential attack, and aliens, SHOE's user base has been climbing again and again, and the total number of users has exceeded 20 million. In addition, there are various types of businesses such as pay-per-click, donations, original videos, and advertising. But the results are amazing. Now many merchants are choosing SHOE as a partner."

Charlie sighed, a mixture of excitement and helplessness in his voice.

“SHOE is a hot commodity right now; everyone wants a piece of the pie, everyone wants a windfall. We can manage one or two, but if everyone's eyeing that piece of meat…” Yi.

Chapter 1134 Tesla's Industrial Exhibition

Charlie was right. In the eyes of these large conglomerates and investment institutions, the boots were just a piece of fat meat that was easy to eat. As long as it didn't interfere with the Yamaguchi-gumi's background investigation of Xu Fu, many people would have already been ready to kill him.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Fu spoke.

“What does the company say?”

Charlie replied, "Cindy, Zack, and I don't want to invest at this time. Shore has plenty of money; its accounts are well-funded, and its business is doing very well. At the current exchange rate, it should be able to turn a profit in four months at most..."

But financing has its advantages. Partnering with large corporations can accelerate SHOE's development and expand into diversified markets. Philip agreed to financing, stating that it's a necessary step for the company's development and that they can't blindly stick to the old ways. After several discussions, neither side could change the other's mind. "Young Master, this matter still requires your decision."

Xu took a drag of his cigarette, his gaze falling on Billy's "673".
