"Aren't you in a hurry?"

Lan Ling looked at Li Yinguang, who was back in the office, and couldn't help but ask.

Li Yinguang looked at her and said with a smile: "What do I have to worry about?" ”

"Refugees have been hired to dig for sweet grass vines outside the town." Lan Ling frowned, even she felt that she should come forward to stop it, at least she couldn't let the other party go out so easily to grab the sweet grass vine resources.

The problem is that Li Yinguang, the boss of the company, doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of stopping him, I really don't know what he thinks.

Li Yinguang said: "I know! ”

Lan Ling was speechless and said, "You know, then you shouldn't be in a hurry, right?" ”

Li Yinguang smiled and shook his head: "Why am I in a hurry? Then again, what's the use of me being in a hurry? Can people be moved, or can they be afraid? ”

Of course he knew what Lan Ling was thinking, the crux of the matter was that it was useless, this kind of thing couldn't be stopped, outside the town belonged to the wilderness and borderless land, not to mention the 'sweet grass vine', even if there was a gem mine, before the lord of Manbach confirmed the right and it was clear that it belonged to the 'property of Manbach Town', anyone could dig and mine.

"But you can stop it!" Lan Ling frowned.

Li Yinguang shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Please, how can you stop this kind of thing?" Can we stop them from leaving the city, or can we stop them from looking for the sweet grass vine? ”

Lan Ling gritted his teeth and said, "You can stop them from recruiting refugees in the slums to do coolies!" ”

Li Yinguang put away the smile on his face, looked up at her and asked, "And then?" ”

And then?

Lan Ling: "......"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Yinguang said calmly and calmly: "Those poor refugees in the slums also want to live, maybe someone else provides a cotton coat, and after eating three meals a day, they can survive this cold winter." They are people, not animals, not things, people just hire refugees out of the city to dig sweet grass vines, we have to stop it?

Interests are smoking, but you must also know that there is a conscience above interests.

Did we recruit these refugees for profit?

No, it is to provide them with an environment where they can sell their labor in exchange for value, and then survive the cold winter on their own, so as not to freeze to death and starve to death.

The starting point is to help more people and let them survive, and digging sweet grass vines is a way to come up with, so that the establishment of a sugar company in the future is somewhat unintentional.

Let's go back and say, is there a fundamental difference between those people outside who recruited coolies to dig sweet grass vines outside the town and when we recruited coolies to dig sweet grass vines outside the town?

There are more than 100,000 people in the slums, and most of these people have not eaten the last meal, and they are on the verge of freezing and starving.

We can't save everyone, but should we erase our conscience and prevent others from helping these slum people for the sake of those small profits in the near future? Regardless of whether they are direct or indirect, and what their starting point is, one thing is for sure, the people in the slums may survive this winter because of their call-up! ”

Li Yinguang shook his head and sighed, between money and human life, he felt that the latter was more important.

He can't ask others for kindness, nor can he share his kindness infinitely with everyone, but he never wants to take away other people's opportunities because of some immediate benefits.

"Isn't it competition? Competition is indispensable in any business activity, and there is no progress without competition. So there's no need to rush, and it's not necessarily a bad thing! ”

Lan Ling, Sophia, and Gu Liyan, who was sitting on the chair opposite, all fell silent, they really didn't expect so much, including Gu Liyan, they were more concerned about interests than the refugees in the slums.

Li Yinguang will accept it when he sees it, for this kind of thing, there is no need to go online, no one is an immortal, everyone is a secular mortal, and it is inevitable that there will be selfish thoughts.

smiled and said: "Look, this is the first one, and then there will be a steady stream of proprietors coming to the slums to recruit refugees, and maybe the people in the slums will also become sweets." ”

Lan Ling frowned and thought for a while and said, "Can't we recruit more refugees and occupy all the sweet grass and vine excavation sites outside the town?" Wouldn't it be better to save more refugees and dig more sweet grass vines? ”

"The more people there are, the more supplies you need, do you think those cold materials, food, weapons and equipment are all falling from the sky? There are more than 100,000 people in the slums, and we can all recruit them? ”

Li Yinguang shook his head with a wry smile: "Survival of the fittest, if we are the only ones who recruit and hire refugees in the slums, it may not be a good thing for us and the people in the slums." ”

Money is such a thing, you can never finish earning, if you only think about money, then you will become a slave to money.

"In addition to being brewed into 'sugar water', what else can red sugar cubes do?"

Listening to Li Yinguang's question, everyone in the room shook their heads.

Li Yinguang smiled and said: "This is what we should think about, the product can solve a lot of problems, especially the products that we control the core level." Sugar is just a basic food ingredient, and the production technology is not high, so we will never be able to control it forever in our hands! ”

After a pause, he said softly: "Moreover, the sugar company is not only ours, how much money it makes has to be distributed to those major shareholders, how much can we have left?" It's only a tenth! ”

Sophia couldn't help but say, "What does the city lord mean that the Castle Sugar Company is not very important? ”

"No, it's very important, at least for us right now, but no matter how important it is, it's not all ours, so there's no need for us to rush to the fire and wait and see what happens!" Li Yinguang said with a smile.

The sugar company is now large enough, with more than 3,000 people, hundreds of machinery and vehicles, a large number of excavation and mining equipment, and a large ironclad city, there is no need for another crazy expansion, at least for now, this scale is enough.

I am not afraid of competitors, I am afraid that someone will come in and mess around, healthy competition in business is a good thing, there is no competition, a dominant family, but it is easier to attract everyone's suspicion.

If the Castle Sugar Company could earn five million silver bull coins a year, and there were no competitors in Manbach Town, would the Lord's Mansion be happy to have such a company that could generate huge profits completely in the hands of Li Yinguang?

I'm afraid not!

People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, and interests are such things, when they should be receiving, and when they should be giving, they should also be receiving.

"The red sugar cube brews 'sugar water' because there is no substitute product, and the technical content is too low, if you rely on this alone, the future profits of Gubao Sugar Company will be extremely limited!"

Li Yinguang's eyes flickered, he didn't want the sugar company to be killed, nor did he want it to be dominant, because the majority of the company's interests had been "given up" to others, and he only had a small head left.
