Chapter 48 Reform of the Civilian Council (2)
"Oh, it would be great if I could really do more for the children of the common people, and I'm worried too!" Wang Peng asked excitedly when he heard Li Zhenbang's words.
As a commoner, Wang Peng also wanted to do more for the children of commoners, but most nobles scoffed at their committee, so a lot of work was more difficult to do.
The other ten committee members also looked at Li Zhenbang with a serious face, since Nick and the members he promoted were all rolled up and left, the atmosphere of the entire civilian committee was at least thriving.
"We must improve our cohesion and prestige, we must give the children of the common people a sense of belonging and honor, we must expand the size of the committee, only twelve of us are certainly not enough, and the most important thing is that we must have liquidity, and the few gold coins distributed by the academy every month are certainly not enough. ”
"Then you tell us about your plan in detail!" Wang Peng frowned, he also understood many things, but there must be problems with the specific implementation, he mainly wanted to hear Li Zhenbang's solution.
"Everyone knows very well that our current position in the academy is that most of the nobles ignore us, except for a few nobles who give us some face. However, every day, a large number of nobles hire commoner children to serve them, and after conflicts arise, they are rarely resolved through us, and a considerable part of our affairs are not reasonably resolved, so that the vicious circle continues, and the meaning of our existence will become lower and lower. ”
Everyone looked at Li Zhenbang and nodded, but this was indeed a little helpless, not that they didn't want to solve it, but sometimes they couldn't solve it at all.
"How to make the nobles look up to us, first of all, we must unite all the forces that can be united, especially the children of the commoners in the lower grades, who are the main force serving the nobles. The children of civilians in the upper grades are already very good in their own right, and they can participate in the mercenary group of the academy to earn fees, and generally do not need to earn fees by serving nobles. ”
"If all the people in the academy who serve the nobility are in our own hands, then we will naturally have a part of the right to speak. ”
"Then how can we take these people into our own hands? We don't have compulsion!" asked one of the committee members, puzzled.
"There's no good way to do it, it's up to us, and the only way I can think of is to use our resources. Posters are posted on the college's bulletin board, advertisements are inserted on the radio station, we are the only official civilian organization recognized by the college, and we can use the college's resources free of charge without affecting teaching. We can also mobilize the people we have helped and our friends to hand out leaflets with us. We are serving the children of civilians for free, and I don't think there will be resistance from the children of civilians. ”
Wang Peng thought for a while and said: "Then how do we deal with these people who come to sign up? If we want to register and make a register, the workload is not small, and it is estimated that it will not be easy to handle just a few of us." And if you look at our office, the space is large enough, but there is a lack of a lot of office facilities, so it is impossible to pile up the materials casually! If we buy furniture and expand the staff, the funds will be a big problem, we are all from civilian backgrounds, and the few gold coins issued by the academy every month are simply not enough. ”
Li Zhenbang smiled mysteriously: "You don't have to worry about the money, I'll figure it out." ”
"Are you rich?" Wang Peng looked at Li Zhenbang in surprise.
"I can go and pull sponsors!"
"Sponsorship, what is sponsorship?" asked Wang Peng suspiciously.
Li Zhenbang looked at Wang Peng's confused eyes and remembered that there was no such thing as sponsorship in this world, so he explained: "Sponsorship can be simply understood as the fact that our leaflets and posters can be marked with merchants who give us money, which is equivalent to a disguised propaganda for their enterprises, and we can even pull banners in the academy to write slogans such as 'XX merchants wish the civilian committee a complete success!'." You must know that the merchants outside the college want to vigorously promote themselves in the college, but they have no way, especially those hotel shops. ”
Wang Peng looked at Li Zhenbang's eyes flashing, if this matter really came to pass, they really didn't have to worry about the financial problem.
"Okay, Zhenbang, then this matter will be handed over to you! If you can get sponsorship, I will solve the problems in the academy. ”
"This is only the first step, after which we have to establish perfect rules and regulations, our members can only take over the tasks of the nobility from us, so that if there is a dispute, we will solve it as soon as possible. ”
"What if the members don't take the task from us, but directly from the nobles?" asked Sun Dehai suspiciously.
"Whoever it is, he will be expelled, and he will never be hired, and he will not be given any more tasks. ”
"Isn't this a bit too ruthless? But it just hasn't gone through our hands, as for being so strict?" Sun Dehai asked with some patience.
"Dehai, Zhenbang is not wrong, there are no rules, if he doesn't put our committee in his eyes, then why should we keep him. We must be accountable to the children of civilians who are loyal to us, and cohesion and loyalty come first. Have you ever seen a member of a mercenary group give up his mercenary group in order to take on a mission?" Wang Peng's tone was resolute, but also very convincing.
"Dehai, I know your concerns, so we here nobles can appoint our members to serve, and if our members can't accept it, we can delegate others. We take a 10% commission from the nobles, we don't charge a penny to our members, and the nobles don't care about that money. Non-members receive a 20% commission fee for receiving noble tasks from us, and I think this can basically ensure that all the people who receive the tasks are members. ”
"Zhenbang, I think we can also provide some food delivery services, charge a certain percentage of the food delivery fee according to the purchase price, and then give all the food delivery money to the food delivery staff. A chubby commissioner said.
"That's a great idea, but we're going to charge a small percentage of the delivery fee and give the rest to the delivery people. ”
Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Li Zhenbang explained: "Although we are a public welfare organization, we also need working capital. Sponsorship can only be temporary and will not become the main source of funding. In case of a conflict between a member and a nobleman, if we need compensation, how can we operate if we have no funds?"
Everyone nodded, after all, no one wants to compensate others out of their own pockets, no one wants to pay for the mistakes of others, not to mention that everyone is not rich.
After all, Wang Peng is the president, so he naturally has a long-term vision, and asked with some worry: "Zhenbang, what should we do if the nobles collectively boycott us? After recruiting members but not having the corresponding tasks to do, our reputation will be completely ruined!"
