Chapter 89 Gathering, Good Things and Two Newcomers
The meeting on how to distribute profits reached a stalemate from the outset.
To prevent the two from arguing during their conversation, Cheng Qiushui joined in and offered an explanation:
"Boss, Lu Zheng, in my opinion, the biggest problem we are facing right now is the problem of cohesion."
He pointed out that the biggest obstacle to implementing a unified salary system is the natural hierarchy of contempt between migrants and members of wealthy families.
"The family members felt that they were more noble than the refugees and could not tolerate the refugees enjoying the same treatment as them, let alone better treatment."
"Boss, you saw what happened this morning. If we don't use force to suppress them, they'll really turn the camp upside down."
Lu Sheng nodded and gestured for him to continue.
Cheng Qiushui continued:
"In this day and age, the conflict between these two groups has become almost a racial conflict."
The only way to ease the tension is to get them to treat each other as one of their own.
However, after proposing this idea, he himself sighed:
"To be honest, it's difficult to do in the short term."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng began to complain about Lu Sheng's actions:
"Cousin, so you've really shot yourself in the foot."
"If you had waited a few more days instead of assigning these refugees to important posts like sentries earlier, many problems could have been easily solved."
Lu Sheng then asked him in return:
"Who helped me set up this camp?"
Who were the people who risked their lives to build the wall when we were stopping the beast tide?
Those family scions were the ones who came later.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng shut his mouth.
He participated in resisting the beast tide and helping the camp build city walls.
It is clear that Lu Sheng is absolutely right on this point.
Deep down, he felt that these migrants weren't doing too badly in the jobs arranged by the mainland students.
So in the end, he sighed:
"Cousin, I don't mean to go against you on many things, it's just that the problem is right in front of me."
This group of refugees is not the first batch; the family will soon send more people over. There is no money, but the number of people will continue to increase.
"If we don't stipulate in advance how the profits generated by the camp will be distributed, frankly, the worst-case scenario is that these family members could eventually sideline you, my cousin."
Ugh.
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng once again marveled at Cheng Qiushui's extensive experience in combat.
During the first camp meeting, he proposed to form a private army.
The current problem seems to be that only by using private soldiers to ensure the use of violence can we guarantee that whatever solution is ultimately adopted can be implemented.
Seeing that the discussion had reached a dead end, Lu Sheng offered his own perspective:
"Since there's no good solution for the time being, how about we adopt a basic salary plus a job allowance?"
Everyone's base salary is 1000 credits.
Throughout the month, he made contributions to the camp or consistently performed well by staying at his post.
Subsidies of various categories should be distributed in accordance with this situation.
Category management is handled by Zhaocai, a robot that excels at this.
If someone complains that it's too much or too little, just tell them and let them go talk to Zhaocai.
Anyway, the robot's intelligence level is high enough that humans basically can't out-argue it.
Upon hearing this idea, Lu Zheng was momentarily speechless.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to utter:
"Cousin, after all this discussion, is the last solution you came up with just to make the robot take the blame?"
Lu Sheng asked in return:
"Then why don't you carry it?"
Lu Zheng became honest:
"Alright, it's better to let the robot carry it. I think it has great potential in this area."
The group then discussed the various subsidy categories and how to announce it.
In order to use the joy of receiving salaries to cover up the drawbacks of an inefficient distribution mechanism.
Something good is needed to offset this, and building a new supermarket clearly fits the bill.
As long as everyone can quickly turn the money they receive into what they need, then the difference between how much others receive and how little others receive will likely have a smaller impact on them.
After the discussion ended, Lu Zheng left first, leaving Lu Sheng and Cheng Qiushui behind.
At this moment, Cheng Qiushui reminded Lu Sheng:
"Boss, it's time for the remaining two people to wake up. One of them might be able to help you solve the problem."
He is an economist.
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng thought for a moment and realized that one of the five people was indeed an economist.
However, the crime he committed was strange; it was not embezzlement, but rather the creation of massive inflation.
An economist whose theories are adopted may actually have some merit.
Upon hearing Lu Sheng's assessment, Cheng Qiushui corrected him:
"Boss, his theory was not adopted."
Economists' theories are always summaries of past situations; if you let them actually use these theories to govern the economy, it will only lead to chaos.
Lu Sheng wondered:
"ah?
Then why was he also sentenced to death?
Cheng Qiushui replied:
"Someone always has to take the blame for massive inflation."
Cheng Qiushui explained:
"Historically, such situations have even led to the overthrow of regimes in many countries."
If the death of just one person could quell the resentment.
That couldn't be more convenient, could it?
Hearing this, Lu Sheng was speechless:
Is Golden Sunflower really running a medical company?
Why do I get the feeling they're involved in a religious movement?
Cheng Qiushui complained:
"To correct you, Golden Sunflower is a biopharmaceutical company that considers itself a religion."
Listening to Cheng Qiushui's complaints, Lu Sheng was speechless.
He then went with Cheng Qiushui to the unmanned transport vehicle. As Cheng Qiushui entered the password, the door slowly opened.
Two men emerged from the hibernation pod; one was still quite young, while the other had graying temples but was very energetic.
Lu Sheng stepped forward and said:
"Welcome, both of you. I am Lu Sheng, the stationmaster of this camp and your temporary boss from now on."
You should all recognize the person next to me.
Of the two who awoke, the slightly younger one nodded silently.
"Song Heng".
He briefly introduced himself, then explained what he could do:
"I am an expert in the ecology of ferocious beasts, and I have also studied strange beasts."
My greatest achievement is manually raising a monster.
A bizarre beast indistinguishable from a human.
As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something happy.
Cheng Qiushui, who was standing nearby, added the following:
He transformed his own mother into a monster.
To be honest, this isn't entirely devoid of human ethics.
The woman was terminally ill, and this was the only way he could think of to save his mother, even if it wasn't entirely legal or compliant.
The current situation is similar to that of his mother and my daughter; they are both locked up and being taken good care of.
As for her, Jin Kuihua's view is that the technology is useful, but it's not convenient to keep her around.
