The camp for the use of UBCS and USS was completed by Kashimo's Engineering Team in just thirty-two days.
This Japan boss had even claimed that if it weren't for the fact that concrete requires twenty-eight days to reach the necessary hardness, the Engineering Team could have cut the time in half.
Moreover, the quality was absolutely guaranteed.
William was not stingy at all; just as he had said before, he gave Kashimo's team a bonus of 800,000.
He was, of course, not just throwing money around; his main goal was to confirm the speed of this team and to build rapport in preparation for constructing the Hive.
...
As early as early July, Frank successfully obtained the license for Umbrella to recruit a private force.
As for the hospital, everything went smoothly, and it was renamed Umbrella General Hospital by William.
Halsey's laboratory was also temporarily arranged inside the hospital by him.
Currently, Umbrella did not have enough strength to build large-scale facilities directly under a city for her to conduct research without restraint.
During this time, William did not choose to continue with his summer classes; instead, he first went to City Hall and donated 20 million to improve the road conditions in Hafa City.
This action directly shocked this port city with a population of several hundred thousand.
Capitalists are greedy and selfish.
But the citizens of Hafa City never expected that the owner of a general hospital would provide help to a city whose economy had been stagnant for years.
Even the mayor of Hafa City personally thanked William, and had him, at only nineteen years old, appear on the local news channel.
It can be said that with the help of the System, William is gradually gaining the favor of Hafa City.
Just as the old Japan saying goes, "Money makes the mare go."
...
July 24th, inside the conference hall of the Umbrella military camp;
A total of 120 people sat in their respective seats; in front of them were thick contracts and a pen.
These people were dressed in clothes of different colors, but the styles were extremely similar.
Multi-pocket cargo pants, loose jeans, crew-neck short sleeves, or old-fashioned shirts.
And they had one common trait: they were all tall, sturdy, muscular men.
This group of people were the retired soldiers and active-duty Police gathered together by Andre.
They flipped through the contracts, their facial expressions somewhat strange.
It seemed they couldn't figure out what this company, named Umbrella, was trying to pull off.
"Click—" The sudden sound of the door opening drew the gaze of these muscular men to the front.
Andre, wearing dark green combat pants, a grayish-white short-sleeved shirt, and a black beret, walked to the podium in the conference hall.
Moreover, the right sleeve of Andre's shirt and his beret were both printed with Umbrella's unique red and white Umbrella logo.
This old, burly man, who commanded respect without even trying, scanned the crowd and said in a deep voice:
"Just as I said when I invited you, as long as you sign, you will receive a minimum base salary of 10,000 U.S. dollars per month.
The price is that you must completely obey the company's commands and must not leak any company secrets.
Once you breach the contract, the amount you will need to compensate will not be something that can be settled with just a few tens of thousands."
"..." Hearing this, the group remained silent.
In fact, they all had unspoken troubles at home.
In this era, a salary of 10,000 per month was very attractive; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it could save their families.
So, after just a few seconds, someone picked up a pen and signed their name on the contract.
After someone started, the other 119 people also picked up their pens one after another.
After all, they were carefully selected by Andre according to William's instructions.
They were all the ones who needed money the most and had the most combat capability.
"Good!" Seeing that everyone had signed, Andre praised them loudly: "You young men are very good!"
"Excuse me." At this time, one person raised his hand and asked: "Why did you gather us together? Is this some kind of government black ops team?"
"No, young man." Andre looked at that person and said: "From now on, you will address me as Officer. As for other matters, let my boss clear things up for you."
As Andre said this, he gestured toward the door on the right side of his body.
The muscular men's gazes followed the direction Andre gestured.
They saw William, dressed in a suit and tie, slowly walk into the conference hall, come to Andre's side, and smile: "It is a pleasure to meet you all; my name is William Russell."
Seeing their boss looking like an inexperienced young lad, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
William didn't mind and continued to explain: "I know you must be confused about why you were hired.
As for the answer, you will know very soon.
Before executing the first mission, what you need to do is train, train, and train again, to maintain your combat capability at its peak state.
Of course, I know you all came for the money.
Since you are Umbrella's first private force, and given the nature of your work, you will be stationed in this camp for a long time.
Therefore, you can choose to arrange for your families to live in Hafa City, and I will provide a 50,000 sponsorship grant to everyone who wants to purchase property in Hafa City.
Furthermore, if you or your family members have any illnesses, you can receive free treatment at Umbrella General Hospital in Hafa City.
As for other benefits, they are all written in the contract, so there is no need for me to remind you again, right?"
"Hiss—!" Hearing what William said, the muscular men all leaned back, gasping in shock.
They didn't care about the truth, or rather, they didn't care about anything; they only cared about whether they could make money.
And this young boss gave everyone 50,000 right off the bat; even if he were just throwing money around, there is probably only one such person on the entire Earth.
As for William, while they were digesting this information, he also used the System to scan them.
He discovered that the loyalty of this group had skyrocketed, rising from the previous high of 52 directly to 86.
Even the lowest was not below 70.
'As expected, before forming a company culture and having a sufficiently deep foundation, throwing money at the problem is the most effective method.' William sighed in his heart.
Money. William didn't feel the pinch; after all, he would receive another 50 billion after completing the mission, so there was no need to be penny-pinching before then.
As for the combat capability of this group, William hadn't expected it to be over 60, fully qualifying them for USS recruitment.
Thinking of this, William couldn't help but cast a look of admiration at the old burly man beside him.
If it weren't for Andre, everything would not have gone so smoothly.
