Chapter 741: Business is booming
While settling Lillie, Yang Ming also arranged for Alola to live with her. This way, he could not only hold the daughter of the Ether Foundation and the princess of Alola in his hands at the same time, but also allow the two of them to have each other as companions so that they would not be too lonely.
After hearing the news, Kahili expressed her willingness to move in with him and help him take care of the two little girls. Yang Ming was overjoyed and simply gave the key to his house to Kahili and lived and worked in the office all day.
"That's why it's so nice to have a secretary. I don't have to deal with a lot of small things myself. This way I can concentrate on doing big things, hahahahaha..."
A few days later, Yang Ming received a huge amount of funds from the Rockets. He immediately took action, first building a school on Ula'ula Island, and at the same time carrying out a large-scale expansion of the school he had previously built on Melemele Island.
He is well aware of the importance of education to the Alola region and hopes to cultivate more outstanding trainers here.
As soon as the news came out, not only the residents of Ula'ula Island and Melemele Island were grateful to him, but even the residents of Akala Island petitioned him, hoping to build several schools on Akala Island as well.
This was exactly what Yang Ming wanted. He immediately agreed to the residents' request and built a new school on Akala Island.
As Yang Ming's reputation grew, those who had previously fled to the mountains and forests to escape the war came out and pledged their allegiance to him. Yang Ming not only took them in, but also gave them money, telling them to stop using leaves as currency and use the cash he gave them instead.
This move added a large number of labor forces to Ula Ula Island. Although Yang Ming spent some more money, these newly added people quickly devoted themselves to the construction of Ula Ula Island and created a lot of wealth for Yang Ming and Ula Ula Island in the future.
While comforting the people, Yang Ming also recruited people on a large scale. However, this time he was not recruiting soldiers, but skilled workers who could make Baofen and energy blocks.
"A bloated army will only drain Ula'ula Island's finances. Previously, Liangzi forcibly conscripted 100,000 elderly, weak, women, and children to fight me, but when the real battle came, they were easily defeated by my 10,000-plus men. Anyway, I don't plan to launch a foreign war for the time being. Instead of recruiting such a ragtag group, I'd rather focus on training my original 15,000 elite troops to defend Ula'ula Island."
The reason for recruiting so many workers is that he is planning to expand the factory soon.
Due to Yang Ming's previous purchasing policy, the islanders of Ula'la Island began to spontaneously send their unsold fruit to Yang Ming. Meanwhile, Yang Ming's business grew rapidly, and several major companies in the United States began to discuss cooperation with him, hoping to sell treasure berries and energy cubes to the United States. This suddenly brought him a large number of orders.
After all, it turns out that what Yang Ming lacks most at the moment are factories and skilled workers.
The reason why his business in Unova suddenly picked up was thanks to Xiao Juer, the leader of the Raven Gym.
As a household name model worldwide, Xiao Juer not only has stunning looks, but also has extensive business connections. She moved around and used her influence to help Yang Ming attract clients, and soon opened up the Hezhong market.
During this period, Fenglu and Homiga were also helping Yang Ming with publicity, but after all, they were new gym leaders, and their influence could not be compared with Xiaojuer's, and they attracted relatively fewer people.
"It's worth it that I gave Xiao Juer so many gifts before. I must get closer to her in the future." Yang Ming was secretly happy. In his opinion, although Xiao Juer was a stunning beauty, she was not so beautiful that he would covet her body. What really deserved his attention was Xiao Juer's influence as a top model.
Yang Ming secretly planned that as long as he had the chance to meet Xiao Juer again in the future, he would try his best to meet her requirements.
Of course, Fenglu and Homija couldn't favor one over the other. Especially Fenglu, she was the only one who stayed with Yang Ming during his most difficult times, so Yang Ming had some special feelings for her, some that might have gone beyond "friendship".
As Yang Ming posted his recruitment advertisement, a large number of residents flocked to apply. Many of them were students from the Pokémon School on Melemele Island, which Yang Ming sponsored. They had learned to make Energy Cubes and Pokémons there. Others were young people eager to learn from scratch. Yang Ming decided to accept all of them, allowing the inexperienced workers to serve as apprentices under the experienced staff.
"It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to cultivate a person. Although it cost a lot of money, as long as the schools on Ula'ula Island, Akala Island, and Melemele Island continue to educate students, I will never be short of skilled people who can make energy cubes and Baofen."
A few days later, those big companies from Hezhong also sent representatives to negotiate with Yang Ming. Yang Ming was overjoyed and immediately came forward to negotiate with these business representatives in person.
Of course, this time he also brought along Kahili and people from the Haonuo Group to help him share some of the work.
After several days of negotiations, they finally settled more than a dozen large deals, but there were still many people queuing up waiting to sign a contract with Yang Ming.
"Yang Ming...Great King, you have been working continuously for several days. Leave this to us." Kahili said softly.
"Given our friendship, let's not be so formal from now on," Yang Ming smiled and patted Kahili's shoulder. "I'm going to go outside for a nap. I'll leave this place to you for now."
To avoid being recognized by the customers in line, Yang Ming dressed up as a clerk and planned to sneak back home to sleep. But at this moment, he stopped in his tracks when he saw several people queuing in the lobby on the first floor.
"Can we really get a big order for Fukiyose City like that girl Fenglu said?"
"I don't know, but these days this place is packed with wealthy businessmen from Feiyun City, Raven City, Fanba City, and Shuanglong City. It takes half a month just to wait in line. Maybe when it's our turn, they might think our business is too small and not want to cooperate with us."
"Alas, but I heard that the supervisor here is Feng Lu's friend. Maybe he will give us a chance for Feng Lu's sake?"
"It's really hot here. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come wearing such thick clothes."
Hearing that it was Feng Lu who introduced them, Yang Ming perked up immediately. Unlike those business representatives dressed in suits and ties and speaking elegantly, these men were all burly, with rough skin and thick pilot uniforms. It was obvious at first glance that they were not true businessmen.
Yang Ming's heart moved and he immediately went to meet him.
"Hello, I'm a staff member here. Do you need any help?"
