In the afternoon;
The White Pearl returned to the New York Sea View Villa pier, and Rhodey and his group also concluded their two-day and two-night sea trip.
After paying the final balance to Melissa and her team, Rhodey also stated that if there were future travel plans of this kind, he would still hire their team for service.
Melissa was also very happy to accept the extra tip Rhodey gave.
It wasn't much;
It was just an additional 50% on top of their original appearance fee.
To Rhodey, it was a negligible small sum.
But for Melissa and her team, this was a large extra income.
After all, with a normal appearance fee, they would still need to share the profits with the company.
After all, the company cultivates them and provides them with such a platform, which requires money and effort.
Therefore, it is reasonable to charge a commission.
And the commission ratio is four-six.
The company takes sixty percent, and Melissa and her team take forty percent.
But if there are extra tips, then all that money is theirs alone, and they don't need to report it to the company.
In other words;
The tip Rhodey gave was actually more than the normal income share they received.
No wonder Melissa and her team were reluctant to leave when they departed.
A few young girls even regretted that they couldn't have anything happen with such a generous client this time, otherwise, what they could have gotten would have been much, much more!
This is actually a kind of hidden income source.
As for whether it's compliant with the rules?
Rules are dead!
But people are alive!
As a person, one must know how to adapt.
There's a saying, "Three, five, seven" (a common saying in Chinese meaning 'when poor, change; when change, succeed').
If you don't adapt, how can you make money?
Of course!
If you encounter a stingy client, you might end up losing both people and money.
However, risk exists everywhere.
Moreover, those who can hire crew services from such companies are generally not short of money.
The fear is that the other party is not the one paying, but a guest who is just freeloading.
So, one must keep their eyes peeled!
Otherwise, you're the only one who will suffer.
...
May 13th, Wednesday.
The weather outside was gloomy, looking like it could rain at any moment, not a good day to go out.
Gwen went back to school today.
And after playing wildly for several days, Gwen's father also demanded that she study diligently from now on and not take days off to go out and play all the time.
Apparently;
The matter of Gwen frequently taking days off eventually reached Director George's ears.
If Gwen's grades hadn't remained stable.
Director George would probably have come with a gun to settle accounts with Rhodey long ago.
But even so, the last time Rhodey sent Gwen home, he still received a "warm welcome" from Director George.
With Gwen not around, only Rhodey and Daisy were left at home.
And ever since returning from the sea yesterday, Daisy suddenly said she wanted to go back to her old profession.
Rhodey was quite puzzled at first; had she ever done any work before?
It turned out that Daisy planned to continue being a hacker.
Immediately taking on some freelance jobs online.
This was her previous source of income, but ever since she went to Afterlife, Daisy had never done it again.
Now she has left Afterlife, and she doesn't plan to go back ever again in this life.
Therefore;
Daisy, who didn't want to be a burden and a useless person by eating and drinking for free every day, decided to pick up her old trade again.
However, having not written these codes for nearly two years, Daisy felt a bit rusty.
Especially with the rapid development of the internet in the past two years, Daisy felt she was a bit out of touch with the times in many things, so she started searching for various information online to catch up on the professional knowledge she had missed in the past two years.
Seeing that Daisy and Gwen both had their own things to be busy with, Rhodey thought for a moment and decided to start the plan he had set on the sea earlier.
To create an invincible Vibranium Mechanical Warrior army!
Now he already has Vibranium.
And it can be continuously supplied.
So, what's left is to use Vibranium to manufacture weapons.
Why weapons?
Nonsense!
What Rhodey wants to create is an invincible Vibranium Mechanical Warrior army, not a robotic housekeeper army, so the prototype of the machine must, of course, be a weapon!
For small Mechanical Warriors, you can choose machine guns, mortars, and so on.
For medium and large ones, there are many more options!
Things like tanks, fighter jets, armed helicopters, and so on, are all possible.
For Water-based ones, there are also armed speedboats to choose from.
Or armed jeeps, all are fine.
As for the prototype of the final super-large Mechanical Warrior, it would be best to directly build an air-carrier, like the one HYDRA used for the Insight Project.
It can both sail on the sea and fly!
Aside from not being able to run on land, it's practically amphibious and omnipotent.
However, while the prototype of the small Mechanical Warrior can be directly crafted from pure Vibranium, it would be a bit too luxurious for medium, or even super-large ones, if they were also made of pure Vibranium.
Although Rhodey has a lot of Vibranium ore on hand.
But refining takes time.
What's more, an air-carrier can easily weigh hundreds of thousands of tons.
Even if Rhodey has a million tons of Vibranium, it wouldn't be enough to build two or three of them!
Therefore;
This air-carrier definitely cannot be made of pure Vibranium.
Rhodey thinks it's possible to wrap a layer of Vibranium on the outside, and use normal alloys or similar for the inside.
There's no need to pursue pure Vibranium!
This way, the problem can be solved, otherwise, to build an air-carrier of pure Vibranium, he wouldn't know how long he'd have to wait.
Rhodey doesn't want to wait several years for that.
That would be too long!
However, the current problem is that Rhodey doesn't have the production lines to manufacture these weapons.
Fortunately, although Rhodey himself doesn't have such production lines, he has money!
Although Rhodey's declared assets are only over a hundred billion U.S. dollars.
But his hidden assets have far exceeded Tony Stark, the richest man in the World.
Black Panther's net worth might not even be as much as his!
After all, Wakanda's Vibranium has been mined for so many years, surely a lot has been used up.
Plus, Wakanda's Vibranium doesn't belong to Black Panther alone, but to all of Wakanda, Black Panther is just the king, possessing only a certain degree of control.
But Rhodey is different.
The Vibranium mine on the seabed belongs entirely to Rhodey alone.
He can do whatever he wants.
He doesn't need to ask anyone else's opinion at all!
