Zeke knew that he could not keep these super soldiers.
After all, they are living people with their thoughts, not mechanical steel suits controlled by Jarvis, and as Grace said, they accepted the super soldier serum experiment. They came with the resolution to die for the kingdom. Now that they have gained tremendous strength, their first thought is to serve the motherland and win glory for the domain.
Zeke did not insist on this.
But he produced the serum, helped with the training, and let the three countries eat shit. If he didn't receive any benefits, would he still be himself?
$1 billion for a super soldier more potent than Captain America is not too cost-effective For the Phoenix Kingdom.
The $1 billion includes the serum, his original Iron Captain's suit, and ten valuable flying knives. If it's not for being a Phoenix person, let alone $1 billion, $10 billion is not even enough.
Of course, Zeke is a businessman, and seeking the maximum benefit is his first criterion.
For each super soldier, he used five doses of the serum. The cost of each super soldier serum was about $10 million, equivalent to the cost of $50 million for a super soldier.
To prevent others from drawing the blood of super soldiers and developing new serums. He deliberately did some tricks when making them ensure that the blood of these super soldiers would not leave traces of the serum all the time like Captain America. He completely cut off the possibility of it being stolen and counterfeited.
In the Iron Captain's suit, because he stripped away a lot of the fundamental core technology of the steel suit, all that was left were slightly higher-end boosting technologies than modern ones. Only the shock absorption system and the armor's defense were relatively strong, so the cost of a uniform was about $30 million.
The price of a flying knife is $1 million, and a 10-piece set is only $10 million.
Even if the old guys from Phoenix Research Institute have been exploring these technologies for a lifetime, it is estimated that they will not be able to explore anything too esoteric, so he is not worried about any loss.
So altogether, a super soldier costs about $90 million.
Zeke can make a net profit of $910 million for each super soldier if the kingdom recovers all 108 soldiers. That is a considerable amount of money.
"This is a big deal, I need to discuss it with the elders and ministers."
Grace hesitated for a moment but did not give a clear answer.
Converting $108 billion into Phoenix coins, that is 713.9 billion.
The Phoenix Kingdom is in a period of rapid development, and money has to be used everywhere. They must consider it carefully if they want to spend such a large sum of money directly.
"No problem. Anyway, before the transaction, the command of these super soldiers still belongs to me. You can discuss it slowly. When you agree, you can contact me again."
To do business, he has to take it to step by step.
Zeke is not in a hurry anyway, and while these super soldiers stay with him, they can be dispatched by him to earn a large amount of employment money and lie at home to collect money. Why not do it?
Later, Grace told Zeke something irrelevant and told him to come to the next decision-making meeting. Ever since he became an Elder of the kingdom, he has never participated in any decision-making meeting. If he doesn't want to participate, fine, but he should at least show his face.
"Fine, I'll go."
"Your Majesty, when did you become more verbose than the old mother?"
Zeke complained.
"What did you say..."
Before Grace could fight back, Zeke quickly asked Jarvis to help him hang up.
"Haha! It's really fun to argue against the king."
"And I accidentally made a lot of money, life is good."
Zeke laughed, his head dived into the water again, and he continued to enjoy his happy time.
Grace, who was hung up on the other side, gritted her teeth. Her beautiful eyes were full of anger. She would have scolded him on the spot if it weren't for her still retaining a little sanity.
...
The next few days were lively to the outside world, and laughter filled the Phoenix Kingdom.
Because the Phoenix military exercise is still going on, the three countries' military training has disappeared, and many people are still watching the military exercise live, ridiculing the three countries. From time to time, they go to the forum of their lands and send an emoji to stimulate them and have a lot of fun.
Zeke was also rarely busy.
After his appearance and hard work, his employment business is entirely on fire. In the past, few foreign forces were renting the Iron Legion. Because the price was too high, it was not worth it, so the business was not very good.
But this time, Zeke changed his mind and let the super soldiers match the Iron Legion. Several "preferential packages" were offered, and the price was much lower than the original. After hearing about it, many foreign forces came to him, making his employment business explode.
"Sir, last week the Super Soldier Team and the Iron Legion received a total of 55 orders."
"After calculating all the employment money received from the employer, as well as the loot that was collected and sold, after deducting all the costs and the maintenance expenses of the steel suits, the net profit is $71.9 billion."
After hearing Jarvis' report on last week's income, Zeke felt relieved.
He made a net profit of $71.9 billion in just one week. Sure enough, war is the most profitable.
"In addition, sir, according to your wishes, I have sent an email to the head of Country SP's General Administration of Land, detailing your willingness to buy 14 islands around the San Miguel Bay for 500 years at a price of $11.2 billion. They replied that they are willing to sell, if you want, you can go to San Miguel Bay to enjoy the seaside scenery this week."
Jarvis continued.
Buying an island was something Zeke wanted to do before.
Not only to enjoy the scenery, but more importantly, Zeke wants to build his technology base. After all, the Phoenix Tree is too conspicuous, and as a "sly fox", Zeke can't put everything in one place. He needs to build more bases that belong to him and expand his technology empire.
"I also need to tell you, that the material of the Warp Drive, so far, all the feedback from the intelligence providers have been collected, please take a look."
