The bill was decided, and the case of absconding from the deer bone roll naturally settled with the dust. After some superimposed calculations, and everything was maximized, the final sentence was 14 years.

The crocodile collar official media, which has been idle for many days, finally has some eye-catching fresh topics, and the process of returning the deer bones to the case has been whitewashed. Of course, there is no vulture organization and a few coincidental shadows, only some bluffing words of 'Skynet is restored, negligent but not leaky'.

Jiao Ming doesn't like this, it's not greedy, but the official media can't seek truth from facts, which always makes people unhappy. Although it is difficult to say whether the official media that seeks truth from facts exists. But there is nothing to do but let it go.

In the society of the crocodile collar, the atmosphere of discussion in some aspects is solemn. Obviously, if the premise is 'to mix in the crocodile collar for a long time', in this tide of corporate bankruptcy and reorganization, some things cannot be done too much.

At this point, the preparations for both reality and public opinion have been prepared, and the main meal begins. After another selection, Jiao Ming chose the mechanical processing factory under the name of the crocodile family, which is also where the deer bones used to work.

The technology content here is the highest, and the operation processes such as machine tools and welding have a lot of room for ordinary people without magical abilities.

Once free competition is introduced, it should be possible to unleash a huge amount of enthusiasm for work, at least in the short term. Let the level of the entire industry be improved.

However, it is not known whether the expected effect will appear, but new troubles will appear first.

Just when the leaders of the metal processing factory were summoned to negotiate, a large number of workers were blocked at the gate of the factory, crying and dissuading the dismantling of the factory. Jiao Ming's cold eyes swept across the audience, although he suspected that someone was secretly putting pressure on him, but his eyesight was limited and he couldn't see the clues.

"I'll take care of it. Binglian said softly. No matter what, the young lord's face is still somewhat convincing, much stronger than Jiao Ming, who is secretive and rarely shows up.

"Don't make a fuss. Make it clear that you will not directly dismiss the workers, and please bear with me if there is anything excessive. "Jiao Ming is from his hometown, but he knows that if he is really instigated, it is likely to be very troublesome. It can't hurt the seven-ring water magic warriors, and the damage tricks like, pee and fart are enough to disgust people.

"Of course. Binglian patted the back of Jiao Ming's hand, which was a comfort.

Jiao Ming stayed in the conference room, and the coldest voice continued to read out the bankruptcy reorganization plan. With the strength of the double series of seven rings, even if there is no deeds of power, there is no special aura, but the cold face also makes the Zhonghuan people present tremble.

After all, these are just a group of water magic warriors who are still around the third and fourth rings in their forties and fifties. It's not that there are no capable people in the crocodile collar, but after this period of trying, various families have also summed up some experience in business management. Rather than letting a genius waste his magical ability talent and learn to run a business, it's better to let some guys who can't afford it toss.

It is not difficult to grasp the truth that 'fists are hard currency'. Without corporate profits, families can tighten their belts. Without the power of the high ring, the family will disappear.

After the preaching was over, everyone asked their own questions. After a few simple questions, the topic gradually went to the core. First of all, there is the problem of metal raw materials, if production is expanded, the only ironworks in Crocodile Collar will definitely not be satisfied. The source is pinched, and these new enterprises are the meat on the board, and when the time comes, there will be a slight operation, and whoever wants to die, will die. You can also talk about development.

Jiao Ming had a plan for this, on the one hand, he promised to increase production, on the other hand, he directly gave the conditions for opening up import channels, and even promised to open a new portal. This thing will interfere with transporting magical items, but transporting things like metal raw materials is not a problem at all.

The crowd questioned the union, apparently realizing that it was in the way. Of course, Jiao Ming will not compromise, but the noise outside seems to have become a kind of annotation. The crowd was very insistent on this, and it would be difficult to manage it if the internal organization of the workers could not be broken up.

Jiao Ming frowned secretly, sensing that the problem was not simple. Seeing that it was approaching lunchtime, he resorted to a delaying tactic and announced the adjournment of the meeting. Then he went directly to Heishi and others and asked what was going on with the blockade demonstration in the morning.

"We don't know. ”

Jiao Ming was choked by this answer, as the leader of the Labor Party, his understanding of ordinary people at the bottom was so lazy. Hundreds of people were organized in their 'home turf', and they didn't know it. Not to mention the more, at least two problems can be reflected. First, the management structure is not meticulous enough, and it has not penetrated deep enough among the masses, or it has been detached from the masses. The second is that it has not completely won the hearts of the people, and no one has reported such a big thing.

But at this time, it was useless to say more, Jiao Ming took a few deep breaths to suppress his emotions, and motioned to everyone to hurry up and investigate. Of course, Heishi and the others felt Jiao Ming's dissatisfaction, and let people who are usually always amiable like this, the matter may be more important than imagined, and they should also pay attention to it.

... It's a little bit, why didn't you let the madman out?...

... I'll give you a break, and I'll see how this happens...

... It's a joke, right?...

Jiao Ming replied angrily, but did not get a response from the personality of the silent person. That night, the results came in. The demonstrations in the morning were indeed organized, but the organizers were so slippery that they did not show up at all, and the workers were only instigated to come over, and there was no reason for the mastermind behind it.

"Could it be that Xu Qin did it?" The first thing that Binglian thought of was the hundred-year-old enemy of the Crocodile Territory.

"They are too busy to take care of themselves, and they should not have time to deal with the crocodile collar in this thankless 'micro-manipulation' way. Jiao Ming shook his head.

And various channels show that the internal contradictions of the Xu Qin people have become prominent, and they are in a difficult stalemate stage. The new Qian family and the old feudal aristocracy seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging.

There are two reasons why the skin is not torn. First of all, the 'Three Days of Darkness' is a major event that has caused great psychological trauma and blows to all magicians. If you are less arrogant, you will naturally become cautious and tolerant. On the other hand, the existence of the crocodile collar, which is not at all afraid of the 'depletion of the Holy Demon Sea', is the neighbor, and the external pressure is invisibly amplified.

However, the original plan cannot be said to be completely invalid. Although there was no expected civil strife, it also had the effect of leaving the enemy with no time to look outside.

Combined with the situation at the venue, only this group of people who intend to take over the mechanical processing plant are secretly plotting. Binglian sighed and reluctantly said this result. Emotionally speaking, she is still closer to this group of distant and close relatives. I don't like this kind of 'own people' secretly intriguing.

"yes. Jiao Ming let out a long sigh. "There is no shortage of smart people in the world. It's just that I didn't expect that this group of old stubborns would also have an enlightened day. I'm underestimating them. It's a shame that when they talked to me during the day, they talked about him one by one, pretending to be confused. ”

Binglian thought about it, but shook her head. "Not necessarily. Those stupid people are stumbling on the cultivation of water magic, and there is no reason to understand such an abstract thing. Is it possible that someone has instructed me?"

"Theory may be abstract, but you can't ignore instinctive intuition. In his position and seek his own government, sit in the position of the boss and watch the account flow, let the employees work more and take less money is the obvious direction of thinking, and it is not difficult to further combine the experience of feudal domination, and not allow workers to connect in series. In my hometown, there are even companies that prohibit employees from asking each other about their wages, and of course the cost of law enforcement is too high, and it is reduced to words. ”

After a pause, Jiao Ming continued: "However, the possibility of someone pointing out is really high. We need to come up with a solution. ”

"Is there a way?"

"Let's test it. ”

The next day, Jiao Ming gave a new proposal and unceremoniously put on a tough attitude. Trade unions are an important presence, and this must not be compromised. As for this group of guys who started to worry about idleness before they became bosses, there are so many people who want to replace them.

The crowd looked at each other, talked about it, and then said that it was okay to compromise on the union issue, but hoped that all the metal processing factories could reach a tacit agreement on wages. This also includes the factories that Jiao Ming may operate.

Jiao Ming laughed angrily, but his heart became more and more disgusting, this was obviously a black-hearted boss alliance to create unspoken rules of salary. "You still want to restrain me? If I don't participate in this agreement, what can you do? Even if you ask for the crocodile duke, how can the Tro Territory and the Red Mountain Kingdom outside restrain me? How can the enterprises of the entire continent be restrained. Are you imagining yourself as a god?"

Everyone was speechless.

Jiao Ming shook his head secretly, this answer is not perfect, and it can even be said that there are big loopholes. But this group of guys can't think of a rebuttal, and someone behind them can almost confirm it.

This time, it was the people who offered to adjourn the meeting and talk again tomorrow. The husband and wife glanced at each other, reached a tacit understanding, and followed at night. It's a pity that this time the problem doesn't seem to be big enough, and the other party just wrote a letter to solve it.

At the same time, there was a hiccup. Detective Skram, who ostensibly identifies as a telephony service company's research institute, has resurfaced, offering to provide information about the mastermind behind it, but in exchange for conditions. Jiao Ming was directly resolute, first of all, he didn't want Evan to see a bigger joke, and secondly, he recognized himself to find out the target.

The next day, when he was unhappy, Jiao Ming directly threw out a killer plan: let the families of the little guys such as Heishi take over and run it himself.

These guys, who were blinded by money, panicked. If this is the case, I need to go to the machinery factory to sell new equipment, and then find a way to recruit workers, and in the end, it is the most terrible, and I have to compete with Jiao Ming, a younger generation who can't see through it, which is too bad.

That night, these people really couldn't bear it and asked for an interview with the idea behind them. After all, the situation is not the same as promised. At the time of the meeting, Jiao Ming and Binglian, who had been waiting for a long time, were directly teleported on the spot, which made the atmosphere extremely embarrassing.

"Sorry to interrupt your meeting. Jiao Ming said with a smile. Binglian secretly slapped her elbow and said with a smile: "Uncles, this time is indeed a bit abrupt, please forgive me." But we have some things to discuss with this gentleman, could you please be accommodating? ”

Everyone looked at each other, like elementary school students who couldn't answer a question, and kept their heads down. But it was the mastermind behind the scenes who stood up and said with a wry smile: "I'll just go with the two of you." ”

Ice Lotus looked stunned. 'Come with us' is a common phrase in public security, of course, it follows from Jiao Ming's hometown. But I didn't expect this person to be so self-conscious. But the problem is that enterprise bankruptcy and restructuring is still a new field, and at this stage, there is no legal provision in this regard, so there is no arrest. "Just a casual chat, don't get me wrong. ”

Came to another room, where the three of them sat opposite each other. Jiao Ming looked at the other party carefully, and he couldn't see anything outstanding at all, he was just an ordinary Caucasian middle-aged uncle.

"Introduce yourself. ”

The man twitched the corners of his mouth: "I thought I should also be famous, but I didn't expect ......"

Binglian suddenly said, "I remember, you are Kesai." In the metal smelter, he is also a talkative leader. And it was also the first batch of people I recruited in the Blue Python Kingdom back then. ”

Jiao Ming also felt that this name was familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered that the sea scorpion visited not long ago, and he had mentioned it. "Kosai, yes, I've heard of it, but it's not right. I've heard you're having a good time dancing in the smelter. ”

Kosai had a strange expression and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Fame or anything else, let's talk about it now. Jiao Ming pulled the topic back.

"It's just a matter of giving people ideas with money. ”

Jiao Ming was noncommittal, although this seemed to be the case, he always felt that it was not so simple. And instead of wasting time in an area that is not good at investigation and interrogation, it is better to be simple and rude. "I don't think this is honest, what do you think, wife? ”

"Let's use the usual means, go and ask the uncles and uncles next door. "Ice Lotus's soul communication is a skill with a cooldown time, and it also depends on the contents of the transparent skull, so I don't want to waste it here.

But the group of middle-aged people next door did not provide any useful information, and seemed to be just a group that was simply being used. As a result, Jiao Ming found a problem. If this group of people is not the real employer, and Kosai is not afraid of retaliation after the fact, then there are only two possibilities. Or it's about the same as a deer bone, and you plan to run away after making a lot of money, and don't get mixed up in the crocodile collar. Or there is a relatively strong force behind it.

Hearing this speculation, Binglian pondered for a moment and sighed, "Let's find Spring Rain." ”

"Why?" asked Jiao Ming in surprise.

"Give it a try, if you still want to run away, if you really go to the Saburu family, this is the best way to avoid misunderstandings. ”

Soon, Chunyu, dressed loosely and sleepy, was teleported. When I saw this scene, I scratched my hair and looked complicated. "It's ......"

"We suspect that this man has anything to do with your family. I just came to you directly. Jiao Ming was the first to speak.

"Hey...... This guy is really working for our house. Chunyu sighed and admitted directly. Sitting on the ground in frustration, he looked at Kosai again: "Don't hide it, what do you say?" ”

"It'......" Kosai was a little blind.

"Father, I'll explain where it is, you can push it all to me. ”

At this point, things have taken a complete turn for the better. Kosai doesn't hide it anymore and starts from the beginning. "I'm planning to help the Saibulu family get the lion's share of the machine shop on the condition that the deer bones live. ”

"How does it have anything to do with this product?" asked Jiao Ming in surprise.

"We are children from the slums of Blue Python City. ”

As the recruiting officer at that time, Binglian immediately recalled the interview scene. "Was the identity information I was given fake?"

"I'm sorry, it's fake. Deer bones are not noble shafts, and I am not a craftsman queen. It's just two lucky people in the slums who are lucky enough to awaken their magical abilities. ”

"It's nothing, I don't care how it was in the past. But you two are so good at tossing and turning, I am convinced that I have a good eye, but you are tossing in the wrong direction. ”

Jiao Ming interrupted with a slight cough, a slightly playful look hinting. The implication is obvious: stop boasting about the steps and let him tell the story. Binglian naturally understood it, secretly pinched her lover, and motioned for Kesai to continue.

This brief pause also immersed Kosai in his memories, and spoke in a distant tone. When they were still seven or eight years old, they feasted on a full meal at the annual initiation event of the Mage Tower. The joy of tasting satiety for the first time made them forget that there was still magic coordination, and they didn't even notice whether they had awakened their magical abilities. And the parents considered that none of the relatives had ever had magical abilities, so they didn't ask much, and just ate a blank meal.

I knew that half a year later, in a gang fight, I accidentally used my magic ability. The two struggled with joy and instinctive trepidation of killing their own kind for the first time, and then tacitly formed an alliance. As for the deceased, even if he was a very special one among the seven or eight corpses, no one investigated the cause of death at all, and he was thrown into the river.

After that, the matter is very simple, the two of them are invincible in the slums made up of ordinary people with their magical abilities. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, when he was young and frivolous, he was pushed to try to rely on his magical abilities to make the social class jump. It's a pity that as soon as he stepped out of half of his foot, he hit his head full of bags and almost lost his life.

It has to be said that they are lucky to have obtained magical abilities, but they are not the best luck. Their cultivation talent is mediocre, and their ability to comprehend themselves is also average. There is no comparison with the magicians who came from the professional class.

And this state is also the most unwilling. It's like winning the lottery, and not winning the third or fourth prizes will only make people fall deeper and deeper.

A further twist occurred when the lover died tragically. The two of them fell in love with a girl very much, the more flamboyant deer bones expressed their chests directly, and the long-thinking Kosai was a step slower, so he simply hid his love in his heart and silently blessed the two. It's a pity that love is not suitable for gangsters who lick blood with knives. It's just that when secretly preparing for the wedding, the girl was implicated, and her death is unknown, and her body has not been found.

The two were hit hard, intensified their hard work, and survived several near-deaths, but unfortunately there was no substantial progress in their careers except for the increasingly firm friendship.

It wasn't until the establishment of the Academy of Magic, not long before they met the Ice Lotus, that they were cornered by another gang of magical abilities in charge of the Artisan District. had to fake his identity and join the command of Ice Lotus. After that, one went to the metal smelter and the other went to the metal processing plant, pretending not to know each other on the surface, but secretly helping each other to achieve rapid promotion.

In the past few years in the crocodile collar, the deer bone has never forgotten the past, thinking of accumulating strength to take revenge. After marrying a wife and having children, Kosai chose to look to the future and only wanted to spend the rest of his life here. For this reason, the two brothers quarreled and parted ways. And so there was the aftermath.

But at the moment when Kosai heard that the deer bones had been caught, he tried his best to come up with a way to save people. That is to come up with a set of business management methods to the Saburu family, and make a military order, after the company splits and goes bankrupt, it can achieve huge profits in the short term. Only then did he persuade the Saburu family to intervene and save the deer bone's life.

"Why didn't you come to me?" asked Binglian, obviously a little upset.

"Mr. Jiao Ming's ability really makes me unable to overcome. I think the Saburu family should also be under this pressure, so they need me more. ”

"Involved in the case of absconding with the money, you have to admit this. It should be with your help that the deer bones can sweep away so many rare metals. ”

"I do. Kosai nodded.

Jiao Ming clapped his hands. "Dare to do it! Very good, then judge according to law. Of course, the incarceration is the kind that allows for visitation and commutation of sentences, so that you can direct the Saburu family's business. ”

"You'll allow me to work for the Saburu family?"

"Why not?" Jiao Ming asked with a smile.

Blinking his eyes twice, Kosai seemed to have figured out something, and smiled bitterly: "Hehe." Do you think I'm not worried?"

"You are very capable, and you can not only study the knowledge we have released, but also apply it. I would say that the world is not driven by a few people. There will always be people who think of these things and use them. Holding you down, there's no point. ”

Seeing that the other party was suspicious, Jiao Ming changed his words, "There is a song in my hometown, and the lyrics are to the effect that everything in heaven and earth is dust, let alone dust in dust." In fact, we are all insignificant little people, so we don't need to add drama to ourselves. ”

"Everything in heaven and earth is dust, let alone dust in dust?" Cosai muttered, then looked up and laughed, two lines of tears flowing.

"Your statement seems to have made him even more devastated. ”

"I don't carry this pot. ”

"But the lyrics are interesting, sing them to me. ”

"The rest of the part is so-so, and the impression is not clear. If you are interested, you will listen to it with soul communication if you have time. ”

After that, the unbundling of the metal processing plant went quite smoothly. Only when the equipment depreciation was evaluated, Binglian caught an inner ghost in the team, and then involved a few small moths.

When several new factories are established, they will begin to divide up the old employees. Similar to the situation of the newspaper split, skilled workers have become sweets, and each family competes for high salaries. Those who are messing around, have bad reviews, and are pure relational households, are the scum that has been screened away by the big waves.

And the whole process is under the strict supervision of Jiao Ming, and the mixing of private means is eliminated as much as possible. Everything speaks with money, at least in the fairest way at this stage.

The original factory, which was hollowed out into a shell, became a 'garbage' shelter. All the workers who have not been attracted by the new enterprise feel that their faces are gloomy, and their work enthusiasm has dropped to a freezing point. is so depressed, but it is convenient for Jiao Ming to organize training and management.

As the saying goes, the mourning soldiers will win, but everyone has a bit of a hard work mentality, and the learning progress is not bad. And at this stage of industrial technology, it is far from eating talent, and only geniuses have a chance. As long as ordinary people work hard, they can obtain a basic level of technology, and then make a living and have food and clothing.

The vitality of the industry has been released, and a high-level fitter with exquisite craftsmanship has even received a salary comparable to that of a high-ring magician, which has become the front page headline of the crocodile collar official media.

But the trouble isn't over yet. The Saburu family took a part of the metalworking plant and ran it autonomously according to the plan given by Cosai, and after seeing the benefits, they expanded this set of things to other family businesses.

After Jiao Ming inspected, he was not surprised, in addition to the usual open source and cost reduction, it was nothing more than squeezing the labor of workers. After thinking about it again, Jiao Ming still decided to make a speech to persuade him. And as usual, the first person who needs to be persuaded is Binglian.

The general content is divided into two parts, one is to analyze from the perspective of the population, when the exploitation is too ruthless, the leeks cannot complete the process of self-replication, which will be a disaster for the whole nation. Then, from the perspective of a simple economic model, it is argued that the huge disparity between the production of products by workers and the purchasing power of workers will lead to a surplus of products and lead to an economic crisis. In addition to infrastructure construction, only white money and white welfare and debt can delay the outbreak of the crisis, but it is to drink water to quench thirst.

And the final conclusion is that don't look at the thriving cooking oil of Tro Ling, in fact, it has been deeply buried.

... If you talk to them about this, I'm afraid that you're just playing the piano to the cow and trying to make a shameful laugh...

The Silent Personality reminded.

... Maybe it's a little useful...

After listening to this talk, the three nine rings of the crocodile collar looked at each other, and they were all silent. It's not that I have any opinions, but I am completely confused. Although I felt that something was wrong, I couldn't find anything to refute it.

Fortunately, Saburu Sharp Hail is still self-aware, and he is not completely blinded by money, and he can hear that the whole speech is aimed at his own new corporate management policies. On the spot, he expressed his willingness to raise workers' wages and try the effect.

And just waiting for Jiao Ming and others to plan to split another factory to try the effect. only to receive an unexpected letter. The sender is Jim, to the effect that the basic rule of the base area will be completed, and nothing will happen in the base area, and the outside world will not know. You can start to develop, just wait for the aid policy.

Therefore, we sincerely invite the Crocodile Leader delegation to visit and guide the construction work, and on the other hand, we also remind you to be careful. They received the news that the higher-ups of Grace City had finally roughly dealt with the effects of the 'Three Days of Darkness', setting off another wave of backlog on the civilian faction. Probably sending spies.

By the way, please ask Jiao Ming for help. The high-level officials of Divine Grace City took a national examination, and the twelve-year-old third ring and the seventeen-year-old fifth ring were two grade conditions. If you don't respond, of course you can. But after all, he was a little more maverick. If you go, you will have a lot of trouble. Except for the five young people in the territory, there is no trustworthy middle and high ring magician. Children on the road alone are not very reliable.
