Xue Zhaolong and the others were excited and shouted, "Boss!"

Ye Hao smiled and nodded. He didn't say anything, but walked over to Su Qing and gave her a strong hug. Since their relationship as a couple was already public, Ye Hao felt a bit shy.

"I'm sorry for worrying you." Although Ye Hao said this while hugging Su Qing, his gaze was directed at Lu Yunsong and the others.

They all silently wiped away their tears and choked out, "Boss, we're sorry."

Ye Hao waved his hand, signaling them not to say more, as speaking out might make Su Qing worry again.

Upstairs, Li Yi and Ye Lang lit fireworks, and the villa immediately became filled with joy.

"Crackling sounds!"

The firecracker sounds echoed, but it wasn't over. Zhuorong Town lit a special material at the entrance, guiding Ye Hao inside.

Ye Hao laughed at their antics but went along with it, understanding the brothers' intentions.

As Ye Hao and the others entered, Nameless also arrived with his sister.

The villa's main hall was lively. Around two o'clock, everyone had a meal, and then Lin Tian and Yan Shuiyue returned.

After Lin Tian returned, he had a round with Ye Hao.

Lin Tian laughed and said, "Kid, the team slots you wanted have been approved. Here's a form; have those joining the team fill it out and hand it to Li Fu."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao was overjoyed, thinking the team review finally came through. Things would be much easier in the future, especially when they needed to engage in a fight, having a professional combat team was far better than fighting alone.

"Uncle Lin, how many slots?" Ye Hao asked excitedly. Even Xue Zhaolong and the others gathered around to see how many people they could recruit.

"Hehe! Fifty, but I applied to expand it to a hundred people. If you need more later, just let me know, and I'll try to help you," Lin Tian said with a smile.

"Oh yeah!" Xue Zhaolong, Li Yi, and the others clapped and cheered. A hundred people! Once trained, they'd definitely be a formidable force!

"Alright, the forms are here. Fill them out and give them to Li Fu. You kid played it big this time, but I like it. Next time, if there's a chance, let Uncle Lin know. I'd love to experience the thrill too!" Lin Tian laughed.

"Haha, sure, then next time we'll let Uncle Lin play something even bigger!" Ye Hao laughed heartily.

After that, Lin Tian left, and Lin Ruyu and Su Qing went to their room. They knew Ye Hao had things to discuss with Li Yi and the others, so they didn't disturb them.

Xia Zhu didn't leave but instead went upstairs with Su Qing and the others to chat.

At this time, the only ones left in the hall were Ye Hao, Xue Zhaolong, Lu Yunsong, Zhuorong Town, Ding Haoyun, Xia Liu, Ye Lang, Fei Gou, Lv Dong, Qiu San, Zhang Hua, and the elder Su Chenhong.

This could be considered the top echelon of Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit at the moment.

Ye Hao looked at them sitting upright and said with a smile, "Relax, it's just a small meeting, no need to be so tense."

"Boss, it's hard not to be tense. Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit island is currently facing a significant lack of funds. I think we need a long-term solution. Otherwise, we keep giving without getting any returns," Zhang Hua said, feeling a bit indignant about why their resources should be provided unconditionally to the military.

The Ji Family even gave some money and shares, but the military gave nothing, just exploiting them.

"Lack of funds?" Ye Hao frowned. Before his incident, he had already allocated the remaining three billion to them.

How could they be short of funds so soon after he returned?

"Yes, boss. Recently, Zhang Hua and Li have been networking and brought back a lot of mining contracts, even unexploited ones, because Li said we must spread the glory of Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit and continue your legacy," Xue Zhaolong spoke up.

"Have you purchased the mines that General Xiao sealed off in the northeast?"

"We did, boss. We know the importance of G-materials. Although we gave General Xiao a hard time, he was magnanimous and did not hold it against us. He even helped get the government to give us ownership rights, but we're short on funds right now and can only see the treasure mountain without being able to exploit it."

"We'll discuss this later. You mentioned acquiring mining operations; what kind of minerals?" Ye Hao asked.

"There are minerals for manufacturing new alloys and adhesive materials, but these resources aren't in the Yangtze River area of Huaxia; they're in Yunnan Province. Developing there is costly due to poor roads," Zhang Hua said with a frown.

"These aren't major issues. As long as we have resources, it's manageable," Ye Hao said with a smile.

"By the way, have you developed the H-2 weapon yet?"

"Perfect timing. We were just test-firing them last night. In a few days, it should be perfected. You can ask Ye Lang about those aspects."

"Boss, the H-2 is out. It's slightly lighter than the H-1, with an effective range of fifty meters more. Additionally, if the material is G-material combined with special optical effects, it might achieve invisibility," Ye Lang said with a smile.

"Not bad, but don't integrate the invisibility into the H-2 yet. We'll discuss that later."

"Boss, based on the data and materials you provided, I've managed to develop some useful stuff, like a significant growth stimulant. I even took a few before and noticed a bit of height increase; it's very effective. In one treatment, it can increase a person's height by 3cm to 10cm," Xia Liu also reported on his research achievements.

"Haha, nice job. How about you, Haozi?" Ye Hao asked Ding Haoyun.

"Boss, the Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit studio's website is completed. All it needs now is for you to set up a firewall, and it'll be rock-solid."

"Haha! Very good. Progress is being made on all fronts, but I have a thought to share with you," Ye Hao said after a moment.

"What idea, boss? Does it involve making money?"

"Yeah! No point in ideas that don't make money! We're broke lately,"

"We've even sold our cars, yet Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit is burning through money so fast," Xue Zhaolong and the others complained.

"These aren't major issues. What I want to propose is using technology to generate capital, and letting that money generate more money," Ye Hao said with a soft laugh.

"Hehe, does the boss intend to invest in the Black Sect?" Qiu San laughed.

"Get lost. Does the boss look like a gangster to you?" Lv Dong glared at Qiu San. Recently, Lv Dong broke through to the fifth level of National Martial Arts and gained a lot of confidence.

"Haha! Alright, enough with the bickering. My idea is to transform Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit into a company and collaborate with other businesses using our technology. We would only provide the technology, leaving the sales and production to the partners. What do you think?"

"This idea could work, but do we have such partners?" Zhang Hua asked. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it at Qidian.com with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
