Chapter 554: Neglected Power Structure

Orders for the resettlement of refugees are diverse, ranging from basic services such as catering and municipal health to government orders for transportation, medical care, organization, security, etc. The person or organization receiving the order will assume the corresponding responsibilities for the duration of the contract and provide the corresponding type of service to the refugees in the area of their responsibility.

Orders are issued and taken in units of 1,000 people, which means that each contractor has to provide a specific service to at least 1,000 people. A large number of strong contractors are able to contract specific services for multiple units or even an entire urban area.

For smaller contractors, the situation is different. Not every contractor has the funds to hire and scrape together the tools to provide services to at least a thousand people. This is especially true for people in different industries.

But people's instinct for profit plays a huge role here. Although not everyone has the ability to directly participate in this large government order, the huge profit and low risk of government order are visible to all.

In this highly specialized commodity market, new financial products have been developed that allow contractors of varying levels to use the orders they already have as collateral to raise capital.

Citizens can invest their own money in the guò market, buy the ownership of the contract, wait for the final completion of the resettlement work, and get the financial proceeds issued by the Space-Time Council in proportion. This kind of behavior quickly became popular because it played the edge of the law, but because there was no official force to control it.

The transaction of orders changing hands quickly became popular in the markets of the Legendary Plane and the Elysium Plane, especially in the 042 Elysium Plane, where people actively participated in this extremely immature and risky market just like buying and selling stocks.

This can be regarded as a negative manifestation of the credibility of the Temporal Council that is widely recognized there. It's not stupid to invest in this market so wildly, after all, this type of government order has always been very profitable. Especially for those profiteers who like to cut corners!

The last time the hundreds of thousands of newcomers from the Theron and the fugitive fleet arrived, the myth of a group of contractors getting rich in a short period of time was created, and with the precedent of success, people's enthusiasm naturally soared. Spurred on by such commercial profits, a large number of service contractors and large groups of recruiters gathered in these empty urban areas, waiting for the door of time and space to open. A moment of turbulent business opportunities.

They finally waited for their business opportunity a few days ago, but they soon found themselves unable to cope with the surging frenzy of new immigrants. Because the number of refugees was really higher than they could have imagined, it was okay at first, with contractors competing with each other for customers.

However, later, with the unexpected extension of the rescue operation of Zhiyuanxing, more and more people poured in, and many contractors began to have a shortage of materials or manpower. However, the contract is still valid, and the services specified in the contract must continue to be provided.

Meanwhile. Their "stock" investors in the rear are also increasing their positions after hearing the latest "positive" news (the number of rescuers is far greater than expected). The market presents a peculiar contradiction between supply and demand.

On the one hand, hundreds of millions of people are actually using their hard-earned money to support this resettlement operation, although the purpose is not pure, but still mobilizing huge social resources to support this operation. However, in reality, due to the huge gap in service personnel and reserve capacity, these mobilized resources could not be delivered to the resettlement sites in the first place, and the resettled refugees are still facing the dilemma of insufficient supplies.

Many small contractors have now run out of their stock and are beginning to regret that they have brought too few people and supplies. Obviously, there is a lot of potential money, but I don't have the strength to make it. Of course. Their pressure is not yet the greatest.

After all, it's not small and medium-sized business organizations with dozens or hundreds of people that end up eating the biggest orders. It is impossible for the Council of Time and Space to completely leave the basic living problems of tens of millions of new immigrants to them who are naturally profit-seeking. Of all the organizations that came to welcome the newcomers, the largest and most powerful was the Dimensional Reconstruction Committee.

The Plane Reconstruction Committee was originally developed from the World Reconstruction Committee. At the beginning, it was an official organization set up by the expedition team to stabilize the social environment and restore production, and it was mainly responsible for providing the technology and equipment needed for the production and reconstruction of the legendary plane free of charge.

After more than 2 years of development. The focus of the expedition was still on foreign exploration and the development of high and new technologies, and they did not attach much importance to the organization of non-governmental production, and were reluctant to use valuable human resources on such non-governmental production organizations with large investment and slow returns.

Against this backdrop, the Plane Rebuilding Committee remains responsible for rebuilding the world. The market demand is becoming larger and larger, making it no longer feasible to provide equipment and technical support free of charge, after many types of exploration and development. Eventually, the Dimensional Reconstruction Committee continued to expand its functions and size, becoming a half-governmental, half-civilian organization.

Today, the Dimensional Rebuild Committee has grown into a gigantic, independently operating organization with more than 800,000 employees and partners at all levels. Counting affiliated organizations, there are more than 4 million people.

Although its governing body is still directly accountable to the Council of Time and Space, it is operating with the participation of a private capital. Essentially, the Plane Rebuild Committee has become a large enterprise with mixed ownership.

As a large industrial and agricultural development organization, the Dimensional Reconstruction Committee has multiple organizational levels and complex command and self-inspection bodies, which are responsible for different levels of operations. This organization is ostensibly responsible for the production and development of civil industry and agriculture under the umbrella of the Space-Time Council. In fact, it is a small kingdom of its own, with profit and the expansion of the organization's influence as the core driving force.

Theoretically, almost any production and sales organization could join the Dimensional Rebuild Committee. Whether you are a small trader, a factory or a farmer, you can join the organization and get technical or material support.

A farmer can get affordable seeds, fertilizers, agricultural machinery and weather forecasts through the Guò Plane Reconstruction Committee, and in return, after the harvest of the agricultural products, he must sell a certain percentage of the produce to the committee at the government's fixed price.

In industry, the same mode of operation is the same, where factories can join a unified large-scale production system to obtain stable raw materials and profits, without having to bear the unexpected risks of their own operations. This gives you the ability to focus on increasing your productivity.

In this huge production system, the products produced at each node can be purchased and distributed to other places where they are needed or sold at a lower cost. With the help of the Civilian VI assigned by the Temporal Council, this sprawling organization was able to maintain a high level of operational efficiency without being dragged down too much by its own bureaucratic structure. As a result, the operating efficiency is far higher than that of any large multinational group or individual state-owned enterprise in the main plane.

As an organization with a huge production system, they were the main force in arranging new immigrants. For the sake of the new immigrants, the Dimensional Reconstruction Committee is quite well prepared, and many new industrial and agricultural projects have been opened to accommodate the new workforce.

However, the plan failed to keep up with the changes, and no matter how prepared they were, they could not have imagined that the number of people who would arrive would be as many as three times as high as the plan had hoped. Until now, the Plane Reconstruction Commission has been busy working with government agencies to conduct a comprehensive census of new immigrants. According to the planned schedule, this work should have been completed two days ago.

After ascertaining the demographic composition and specialization, the vast majority of people will be assigned to work in the Industrial and Agricultural Development Group under the control of the Reconstruction Committee. Of course, this was the previous plan, and now, with a far greater number of newcomers than expected, most of the committee's management is struggling with how to get things done.

In the long run, such a large number of new immigrants is a major benefit, enough to revitalize a large number of industries, and further increase the size and influence of the Dimensional Reconstruction Committee. But in the short term, the sheer volume of new immigrants has put their previously prepared manpower at full capacity. Everyone is upset.

Unlike purely commercial organizations, the Dimensional Reconstruction Committee must be held accountable for this resettlement. If they can't deal with it before Shen Chao and them return, then the entire leadership may be completely replaced. After all, the Space-Time Council is the largest shareholder in this organization.

In the end, it was the regular army of the space-time fleet that came to the rescue. They brought much-needed supplies to the refugees and effectively maintained order. Although the follow-up work will still be arranged by an organization such as the Dimensional Plane Reconstruction Committee, at least the current order has been basically stabilized.

Unfortunately, not everyone is committed to stability and safety. Some people saw an opportunity in the previous turmoil. Laura. Roslyn is one such person.

As the former acting president of the 12th colony of Kobo, she lived in peace for a while after handing over the sovereignty of the fugitive fleet. Like many other newcomers, he embraced a new life and was engaged to Admiral Adama, who had joined the Space-Time Fleet and was trying to readjust to his new command.

But a quiet life is not what a woman like her really pursues, and after a period of peace and understanding the new world she lives in, she decides to do something with what she has left.

Using his influence, he joined the Dimensional Reconstruction Committee, helping the business organizations within it to expand their business connections within their own clans. Earn commissions. Later, she came into contact with some radical political groups, and learned that there were still many people who were very dissatisfied with the centralized power practices of the Space-Time Council.
