Chapter 1634 Planning the Overall Situation!

"Speaking of which, the members of the think tank who came up with this plan, could they be Chinese?" Ma Han asked sarcastically, probing.

"The main team responsible for this expansion project is all Chinese," Lin Shou stated frankly without reservation.

"There are also quite a few Beacon People. Before the apocalypse broke out, they seemed to be financial giants on Wall Street..."

"Where did all these people come from..." Ma Han was somewhat bewildered.

"They didn't all die at the beginning of the apocalypse?"

In his view, high social status does not necessarily mean the ability to awaken powerful talents.

Often, those who held high positions during the era of order would perish in the early stages of the apocalypse due to the arrogance they had cultivated.

How have they managed to survive to this day?

"The giant crocodiles, they all hid in bunkers when the apocalypse broke out," Lin Shou explained casually, pursing his lips.

"I thought I could survive to the end, just like in novels and movies."

"Little did they know, the fissures that spew out monsters can erupt anywhere."

"Those who were unlucky enough to die during the first major rift eruption."

"Those who were lucky enough managed to dodge the first few waves, but were eventually forced out of the bunker by the monsters."

"If it weren't for Mr. Lu Li's policy of recruiting ordinary players at that time, those financial vampires would have been reincarnated long ago."

"Now that they've signed a servant contract and been incorporated into the think tank, it's like turning waste into treasure."

"You know what, without them, the think tank in charge of pushing this project forward really wouldn't have been able to come up with those outrageous tactics..."

"As expected of Brother Li..." Ma Han praised in a low voice.

"Even in the early stages of the apocalypse, they were already thinking of recruiting civilian players..."

"The truly wise think a hundred steps ahead for every single step they take, and plan for the whole situation!" Lin Shou added, his eyes also filled with admiration.

"The heights that Mr. Lu Li can reach are unbelievable just to imagine."

Ma Han nodded repeatedly, indicating his approval.

But soon, another question came to his mind:

"With such rapid expansion, even if we're not worried about the problem of it becoming too big to handle, the workload must be enormous, right?"

"Just calculating the contribution points earned by those Palu people after their labor must require a lot of manpower, right?"

"Now computers and everything else are unusable. Sixty billion... just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle..."

"Therefore, apart from Earth, all settlements and transactions in other star systems are conducted in RMB." Lin Shou said calmly.

“Palu people who need it can use money to exchange for contribution points on Earth.”

"If there is no need, it can be used directly locally."

"Settle directly in RMB?" Ma Han was surprised again, and asked repeatedly to confirm:

"Chairman Mao?"

"Yes, that's right." Lin Shou nodded seriously.

"Even the traveling merchants and wandering warriors in the Extreme Starfield have started accepting RMB as a settlement currency. Don't you know this news?"

Ma Han: "..."

How the hell would he know?!

Before coming to the Palu Star Belt, when I was on Earth, everything could be settled with contribution points, and there was no opportunity to trade with the outside world.

After arriving on Planet Paru, he was busy liberating the Paru people every day, and he solved all his food, clothing and daily necessities locally. He didn't even have time to open the data panel to post messages, let alone communicate with the outside world.

But then again,

Using RMB as the settlement currency to gradually replace pure gold, a universally recognized hard currency?

Isn't this just exchanging paper for real gold and silver?

Has Earth's overall strength become this formidable?

Can credit be used to change the fundamental rules of market transactions?

Seeing Ma Han's blank expression, Lin Shou guessed that the other party might not be interested in this kind of news, so he did not continue the conversation.

He simply concluded by saying, "Anyway, the think tank will handle it, so you and I don't need to worry too much," and then ended the current topic.

Xu Xiao, who had been listening in, took advantage of a pause to speak:

“If you want to recruit Palu workers, I can have Mynier take you there.”

"During the recruitment process, could we give priority to elderly or physically disabled Palu people?"

Upon hearing this, both Ma Han and Wu Siyuan frowned.

Recruiting workers

It's not like we're doing charity.

Why would anyone choose to recruit the old, weak, sick, or disabled when there are plenty of strong and healthy Palu people available?

Leaving aside their poor physical condition,

Whether I can adapt to the work I'm about to start is still a question mark!

Xu Xiao's saintly heart has clearly kicked in again...

"Xiao Xiao, you want to prioritize the safety of these Palu people, right?" Lin Shou immediately guessed what the woman was thinking and asked directly.

"Yes..." Xu Xiao nodded shyly.

“The healthy Palu people, who are still young and strong, are capable of protecting themselves and can preserve themselves in the upcoming liberation process.”

"But what about the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled... if they can't be relocated, their future is not optimistic..."

Before Lin Shou could speak, Ma Han interjected:

“Squad leader, Ashou said before that the 60 billion Palu people recruited are to work in the manufacturing industry.”

"Although the workload will definitely be lighter than it is now, it won't be so light that I can go sightseeing and recuperate."

"Moreover, Earth has no intention of forming an alliance with the Palu people; it only intends to achieve mutual benefit."

"We've suddenly changed the nature of this, I'm afraid Manager Pan won't agree to that, will he?"

Although Ma Han seemed to be speaking up for Lin Shou and thinking of Lin Shou's best interests,

But in reality, the problem was quietly thrown back to Lin Shou.

By making it clear that Chief Pan would not agree, it was obviously an attempt to use Chief Lin to ask the question.

Lin Shou was well aware of this.

Before Ma Han could finish speaking, the message had already been sent to Pan Xiaoxiao.

"I'll ask," Lin Shou said.

"I don't think Manager Pan will object. After all, we have abundant resources at this stage, and a large number of players with 'healing' talents. Healing those Palu people with physical disabilities shouldn't be a problem."

"Thank you so much, Shou." Xu Xiao smiled gratefully, but the guilt in her eyes grew even stronger.

Shortly after, Pan Xiaoxiao replied.

Lin Shou glanced at the message that popped up on the data panel and said with a smile:

"Manager Pan agreed, but he has one small request for me."

"What?" Xu Xiao and the other two all looked curious and asked at the same time.

"The principle of voluntariness must be followed." Lin Shou closed the data panel, his eyes shining with relief.

"We must not discriminate against the Palu people because they are older or have physical disabilities. We must treat them equally and without discrimination."

Upon hearing this, Wu Siyuan frowned slightly.

Ma Han's mouth was slightly open, his face full of disbelief.

Only Xu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look of gratitude:

"Thank you."
