Chapter 1753 - 1755: Operation
The one hundred thousand Iron Cavalry returning from around the world began gathering at this place, long considered by them as another home.
Due to the Lu Group’s global operations, they weren’t often stationed here.
But at this moment, no matter how important their tasks were, they all put them aside, even canceling meetings with some high-profile figures!
Many initially didn’t understand and felt anger—after all, these people weren’t Lu Xiaobu himself, and acting this way seemed too arrogant!
However, once they learned the reason behind everything from various channels, these emotions disappeared instantly, even turning into a hint of fear!
Though the news said it wasn’t targeted at them, they couldn’t help but worry!
Inside the Lu Group.
People were gathering more and more, and everyone present carried a sense of authority to varying degrees.
With the growth of the organization, most of them had climbed into leadership roles after step-by-step learning.
Of course, there were some who didn’t want to manage people and preferred peaceful work.
Yet even those who preferred quiet work still had to solve issues if newcomers made mistakes.
Furthermore, recent staff at the Lu Group understood that no matter their rank or the number of people managed, within the Lu Group, anyone from the Iron Cavalry couldn’t truly surpass others.
Of course, although that’s the case, mismanagement doesn’t occur, as such issues have been eradicated within the Iron Cavalry.
The Iron Cavalry, not seen for some time, gathered here, exchanging small talk, though most conversations quickly shifted to the mission at hand!
"Old Li, heard you’ve been doing great in Africa recently. How’s it going? Hook up with a black chick yet?"
"I’ll kick your ass! If you want, I can send you a couple. I have a wife, unlike you, single as ever!"
"So what if I’m single? It’s called freedom! If I want to find someone, there’s plenty out there."
"Tch! As if I don’t know, are you eyeing Manager Xu recently? Let me tell you..."
"Shush, shush! Stop talking nonsense! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Alright, enough, what’s the specific task Young Master Bu has arranged?"
"Hasn’t been specified yet, but we kind of know it’s a negotiation, and not with humans."
"My goodness, is it that intense?"
"Who cares if it’s intense? Let’s just prepare ourselves!"
"But negotiation? Isn’t that beyond us? Our clumsy mouths are nothing compared to those eloquent sales teams!"
"Not necessarily! Think about it, if they aren’t from our planet, or even human, what if they prefer negotiating with honest folks like us?"
"That’s true, just looking at you, they might drool with hunger!"
"Screw you! I’m negotiating, not presenting a human feast!"
"..."
Similar discussions buzzed around, sharing insights and expressing mutual concerns.
This mission is different from a typical business event; screw it up, and it embarrasses Young Master Bu!
So, they were both excited and tense!
Once almost everyone was back, there’s no more waiting for the remaining; instead, through video conferencing, they joined synchronously.
Subsequently, the group received detailed documents and tasks.
They discussed earlier; whoever pursues the task goes by planning, not speed anymore.
Plans agreed upon would determine the task’s delegation!
After receiving the documents, the previously murmuring crowd instantly quieted down and began forming groups.
Some started researching current knowledge of the Cultivation World.
Others examined the old and new layout of the island where Young Master Bu is, noting the changes.
Some analyzed the relationships between various factions, making certain predictions and plans.
Some researched the ethnic relations within the Ten Thousand Mountains and their temperaments.
Some examined the current state of the Blood Continent, seeking places that might be exploitable.
There were various other groups not mentioned here.
Though information was limited and somewhat scattered, they were accustomed to handling tasks.
Moreover, influenced by Lu Xiaobu, they had developed skills in processing information and identifying issues from detail.
Though nobody matched Lu Xiaobu’s prowess, three common folk equal one Zhuge Liang, let alone their ten thousand.
Their advantage in numbers allowed simultaneous brainstorming, leading to dozens or even hundreds of ideas.
These ideas were then summarized, integrated, and whatnot, leading to results not inferior to Lu Xiaobu’s individual efforts, possibly exceeding them!
Especially now, driven by high spirits for this first outing!
Soon, speculations and deductions emerged, then passed to higher analysis and judgment groups.
"On the Negotiation Candidates’ Strength and First Impressions"
"Two or Three Analyses on Gourd Island’s Situation"
"Two or Three Guesses on Blood Continent’s Qi and Its Use in Negotiations"
"Demon Clan’s Situation Predicted"
"Young Master Bu’s Intentions..."
Countless speculations began to gather, analyzed, then somewhat confirmed via various channels, finally layered together.
When handed to higher tiers, they formed not quite mature plans!
These plans have already totaled thousands, not counting scenarios and handling methods for unexpected events, and these numbers were still increasing!
Once this amount reached Lu Xiaobu’s ears, it made him twitch—weren’t they planning to completely outwit the Demon Clan?
Of course, if they could completely outsmart them, so be it.
Thus!
With these plans, the upcoming negotiation erupted with incredible power.
In the eyes of those slow-witted cultivators, the equally perceived slow-witted Demon Clan was bewildered by the Iron Cavalry in their debut on this bloodless battlefield— the negotiation table!
