Chapter 414: High-tech sterilization
Speaking of this, Zuo Ci suddenly said: "The shopkeeper is a bully, such an insatiable shopkeeper, I smashed it." β
Bai Lin was taken aback, looked at this uncle he had never met, and then looked at Li Lan, Li Lan waved his hand, "This is my distant relative, come to spend the night for a while, go out with something ordinary, and come back later, you continue." β
Bai Lin was very suspicious of Li Lan's explanation, and said in his heart, Don't you have a mansion in the city? Why did you come to this dilapidated city, but it was not easy to say this, so he took the hot tea handed over by Li Lan, took a sip, and then began to speak.
Bai Lin saw that the notice said that the veterans should also participate, and his heart moved: Maybe I can learn some ways to increase my income from these veterans, so I changed my mind and decided to take a look.
The training point is far away in the suburbs of the city, and the venue is a large canteen specializing in fast food.
At the front of the lobby, there was a man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of square-framed glasses, very elegant, and there were a lot of documents on the table in front of him, it seemed that he was today's training instructor.
Bai Lin arrived in a hurry, and as soon as he sat down, someone handed him a piece of paper and asked him to sign in in a whisper, and then asked Bai Lin to open the APP and scan a QR code in the corner of the big screen, which is equivalent to signing in for the second time, so as to prove that he has participated.
The man with glasses saw that Bai Lin had done this, cleared his throat, and continued to lecture.
The main thing he talked about is the explanation of the new business, which is not complicated - the so-called "errands" is to help customers buy something, or help deliver some things, this business is higher than the general takeaway unit price, starting at 10 yuan, and increasing the price according to the weight and distance.
When everyone heard this, they were very interested, and felt that their income could increase a lot in the future, and their enthusiasm for listening to the lectures also rose, and they exchanged heads and whispered discussions with each other.
There are still many people who come in one after another, and some people don't even listen at all, come to sign in, scan the code and check in. The man with glasses didn't say much, but he was about to stop when someone came in, so he talked for a long time about the original small content.
After he told everyone the basic process of how to operate the "errand list", he said some clichΓ© food delivery specifications and precautions, and finally asked the delivery staff who were still on the scene, "Are there any other problems?"
There was silence for a while, and one of them asked, "What do you care about those who use plug-ins?"
Bai Lin was stunned when he heard it - "plug-in"? This was the first time he had heard this word in this line.
The man with glasses looked very calm: "Don't worry, we have noticed this problem and will take countermeasures immediately." As long as it is found, the account will be blocked immediately, and you will never be able to take orders again. β
The man "cut", apparently unconvinced, and then stopped talking.
Someone asked a few more questions, most of them all kinds of complaints, but in other words, the most reflected is what I want to ask - the list is too small.
Bai Lin whispered below, curious how the man with glasses would explain.
"Just after the New Year, the main force of those who eat takeout has not come back, and there are many people who are not looking for jobs to run away temporarily. You have to wait a little longer, it will be fine in a month at most!, you know, Suzaku is a super big city, with so many people, will there be less demand for takeaways?"
The man with glasses waited for everyone to finish before he spoke slowly.
"What about the unit price? It's too low now, you can't do that!" someone shouted from behind.
The man with glasses replied with a smile: "Don't worry, it will go up, the market is there, the competition is so fierce, we will definitely improve the treatment to retain everyone, after all, your job is our rice bowl." β
He swore by it, but Bai Lin sounded more perfunctory.
After the training ended, Bai Lin joined everyone's "rider group" on WeChat, and when he returned home, Bai Lin immediately found a peer in the group and asked: "Why do you have a plug-in?"
"Of course, this kind of 'hanging' is to help grab orders, as long as you set a certain range and unit price, it will automatically help you screen, as soon as there is a list that meets the standards, it will automatically help you grab it. β
Not only that, but the other party mysteriously said to Bai Lin that he had used it before. "It's really okay, sometimes I can get more than a dozen orders a day."
"Then do you still use it now?" Bai Lin asked busily.
"Hey, the more people know, the less effective it is. And there is a fee, which I don't have to use for a long time. β
At Bai Lin's request, he sent another hard red envelope, and this person pulled him to a QQ group that specializes in selling plug-ins, and sure enough, as soon as he entered, several people posted news about selling plug-ins, with prices ranging from 30 to 50 per month.
In addition, there are also people in the group who collect money to help apply for health certificates, 10 yuan a piece, which is much cheaper than the hospital, which is an eye-opener for Bai Lin.
"Just take a look, or don't use it, there are a few more orders. And now it's strictly investigated, and if you find it, you will be banned. The peer seemed to know what Bai Lin was thinking, and reminded him again.
In fact, he said, everyone hates cheating, and they all know that it is an act of violating equality. But it has been reported to the platform several times, but the platform has not been able to eradicate it.
"We don't understand this kind of high-tech thing, and we don't know if they really can't seal it or deliberately don't seal it. But if someone else uses it, many of us can only use it at the risk of being banned, otherwise no one will earn more!"
He was full of helplessness between the lines, and Bai Lin was very uncomfortable to hear.

Yang Pingfan went to Funiu Mountain alone, which has become an ecological reserve of Vermilion Bird, and it is also the only natural scenic spot left after the development of Vermilion Bird, but the Cyber City has turned the people in the city into high-tech slaves, everyone is locked in their posts, busy with endless things, endless classes, how can they have time to come out to play, so Funiu Mountain has actually become a villa area for the magnates.
After changing his appearance, he sneaked all the way, and at the intersection of the mountain, Yang Pingfan was surprised to find a group of people holding a banner to demonstrate there, which read "Mutant mosquitoes pollute people, harm others and themselves"
"Protecting natural mosquitoes for future generations"
"Shame on releasing mosquitoes"
β¦β¦
Yang Pingfan became interested at a glance, and it was the first time he saw the protest banners related to mosquitoes, so he immediately moved closer to that side, saying that he might not even come out to protect mosquitoes, right?
When I approached and inquired a little, I found out that these people were here to protest against Company X's use of drones to spread mosquitoes.
Funiu Mountain is a rare green wetland, which is naturally prone to breeding mosquitoes, and the media has advertised that the use of chemical agents to kill mosquitoes will lead to environmental pollution, so Company X has launched its own biological control program - using drones to disperse sterilized male mosquitoes to control the local mosquito population.
These male mosquitoes are irradiated to produce reproductive gametes that contain many lethal mutations that stunt embryonic development.
In this way, they can compete with normal male mosquitoes in the wild and mate/mate with female mosquitoes, but they do not produce offspring, and according to Company X's propaganda, this "sterile insect technology" can effectively manage populations and control insect populations.
But to improve the efficiency of this method, it is necessary to release as many mosquitoes as possible at once, reducing their injuries while ensuring even coverage over a large area.
Therefore, when the researchers used drones to release mosquitoes, they also carried out meticulous design, they strictly controlled the depth of the box containing mosquitoes to ensure that the mosquitoes under it were not crushed, controlled the temperature at 8~10 degrees Celsius to ensure that the mosquitoes did not move, and released at an altitude of 50~100 meters, so that the mosquitoes had enough space to fall.
Field trials have shown that drones release more evenly than releasing mosquitoes from a location on the ground, and males are better able to mix into local wild mosquito colonies, resulting in 50% more eggs in local mosquito colonies that cannot hatch compared to unreleased areas.
On the surface, it seems that this operation has great merit, but soon after, someone anonymously broke the news on the Internet, saying that although these mosquitoes can produce a sterilization effect, the lethal mutations they carry can also be transmitted to humans through bites, causing unpredictable consequences.
Hence the current protests.
These protests are destined to have no follow-up, all media have received a greeting from Company X, and they are not allowed to report, otherwise they will apply for a property preservation warning, as for the short videos taken by uncles and aunts, it is simpler, no need to delete/post, just limit the flow directly, and if there are 100 people who like it, it will be counted as Company X's loss.
Yang Pingfan listened, his heart moved, slowly slipped out of the crowd, drilled into the woods, saw the direction of the drone, and caught some mosquitoes at the right time.

After the training, the number of orders on the platform is still very small, and the unit price has fallen again and again, and the situation has not improved as promised by the man with glasses.
There were often people in the group who complained and complained, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, Bai Lin gradually realized that the harmony between the rider and the platform was far from being as official as advertised.
They and the platform need each other, but they also calculate each other, and even resent, but they also have to promote a happy and united appearance on the table, and someone in the group made Bai Lin deeply impressed: "Although I am still a rider, I still look forward to the collapse of this platform as soon as possible!"
He said that during the Chinese New Year, as soon as the migrant workers returned to their hometowns, most of the Suzaku were empty, and many riders also had to go home for the New Year, and the platform increased huge subsidies in order to maintain its operation, sometimes an ordinary order, the commission itself was only 5 yuan, but the subsidy of the platform was as much as 10 yuan.
This move made the platform not fall into the embarrassing situation of no one to send orders during the New Year, but after the New Year, the unit price fell off a cliff, not to mention the subsidy, and even the basic unit price was one or two dollars less, "Anyway, after the New Year, there are more riders, you love to run or not, who cares if you live or die?"
