In the real world, Zheng Yifan was enjoying a fine cup of coffee in a café, the rich aroma truly unparalleled.
It was the moment of tranquility after battle that he sought as the best form of enjoyment.
The fighting needed to be slightly postponed; the battles in the apocalypse required the Gathering Place to unite various factions. Each department had to coordinate with one another to truly advance step by step and gradually expand.
Things were no longer like before; previously, it was a makeshift operation. There was little concern for details, but now it was different—now they had their own established team.
There was an old saying: a good warrior does not seek fame. Those who are truly skilled in warfare always advance steadily, gradually wearing down the enemy. They achieve victory not through surprise attacks but through careful and methodical strategies.
This is the most stable form of warfare. If one successful surprise attack out of a hundred battles could be recorded in history, then a hundred mundane battles would still go unnoticed.
Now, at Hope Gathering Place, results were all that mattered; they did not wish to see any instability in their rear lines.
Zheng Yifan seized this opportunity to relax, sipping his coffee while observing his foundation.
This was essential; even if one possessed the whole world, staying cooped up at home would yield no sense of accomplishment.
Only by truly walking on the streets could one feel their achievements.
This was all his territory; it belonged to him.
Zheng Yifan felt this sense of grandeur deeply.
In less than two years—how fleeting it was—but so much had happened; everything changed too quickly. He was still just in his twenties, yet the weight of the world rested on his shoulders.
The battles in the real world were relatively easy now, as they began to recover various cities. Officials and leaders were also being cultivated among the Survivors.
These individuals had to ensure absolute loyalty and integrity. The Hope Group would provide them with good treatment and positions, but they would not tolerate exploitation, corruption, or decay.
This is Zheng Yifan's bottom line.
In the real world, operations must be conducted this way. This is Zheng Yifan's stronghold, relying on the entire planet's resources to produce goods that can then be supplied to the Apocalyptic World. It is undoubtedly challenging for the whole world to join in production, especially since the human population has dwindled to less than one-tenth of its original size.
However, despite this, it can still be ensured that the overall direction remains unchanged.
Although the number of people has decreased, the actual production costs in agriculture and animal husbandry are actually declining.
Fully mechanized production makes farming much easier. The Hope Group is receiving technical support from the Apocalyptic World. A large amount of agricultural machinery has already been transported to the real world.
This is Zheng Yifan's grand initiative. The agricultural machinery from the Apocalyptic World is a product that surpasses an entire era, boasting high efficiency and optimal personnel utilization.
It may only take a dozen people to manage thousands of acres of farmland.
This is the power of technology.
Even the mechanical systems are based on an electricity system, which is highly energy-efficient.
With energy savings, costs naturally decrease.
Now, aside from the main urban areas, other locations have begun to cultivate or reforest. Living areas are gradually returning to what they once were in former provincial capitals and major cities. For instance, Third-Tier Cities have started to gradually abandon their urban structures.
The human population is too small. Cities can no longer operate fully; those lands will gradually be cleared and dismantled, transforming into arable land. Materials will undergo further recycling.
Restoring the natural environment has become the current goal.
The total population in the country is now just over one hundred million. The pressure on cities has significantly decreased.
However, the problem with Zombies remained severe. Many Zombies had entered the mountains and even hid in the sewers; these creatures needed to be cleared out. But in reality, it was difficult to completely eradicate them, and one never knew when they might emerge again.
Thus, most people preferred to stay within the city, where at least there was some level of security.
As for the farmers who worked the fields, they were completely unconcerned. They drove Agricultural Machinery when they went out. If any Zombies dared to approach, they would surely be asking for death. Agricultural Machinery was quite powerful; just a bump could crush a Zombie.
Those foolish Zombies would never manage to climb up; they simply couldn't use ladders.
Having consumed most of his coffee, Zheng Yifan noticed that the café was not very crowded—only three or five people were present.
The café's owner smiled brightly at Zheng Yifan while practicing her latte art.
It seemed just like the Post-Apocalypse.
Huang Mengni. This scatterbrained woman had opened a café in Ancheng, perhaps hoping to get closer to Zheng Yifan.
As for assets, these things didn't even register as numbers for Zheng Yifan. If Huang Mengni wanted to open a café, she only needed to speak with someone below her; naturally, she would have a place and equipment ready.
There was no need for concern.
After finishing his cup of coffee, a group of sweaty men and women entered. They first enjoyed the air conditioning before heading straight to the restroom inside.
Zheng Yifan recognized these people; he had seen them when he had coffee yesterday. They were vendors from the Agricultural Trade Market across the street. By this time, the peak hours had passed; after noon, their business dwindled significantly since their working hours were from 1 PM to 1 AM. It was quite tough.
However, now that Hope Group's operations had been fully established, they no longer needed to haul goods themselves. The company took care of transportation and purchasing, eliminating price wars as well. All anyone needed was to make a call, and the entire market's goods would be organized seamlessly.
This not only reduced transportation pressure but also lowered costs significantly.
In a post-apocalyptic world, people can still strive for success, but unfortunately, the profit-driven nature of merchants has diminished efficiency.
When disaster strikes, it forces everyone to abandon their bad habits. More importantly, this impending end of the world represents a reshuffling of assets. No one is truly wealthy; everyone has the potential to become rich.
As long as one dares to fight, anyone could become the future wealthy individual. People are not lacking in fighting spirit; they simply lack a ladder to rise up.
The citizens are bold and willing to fight, but they have been severely suppressed. Zheng Yifan hopes to infuse vitality into his Gathering Place, ensuring that every industry thrives rather than being confined to narrow competition.
However, the downside is that the industries under his command lack large-scale enterprises and pillar industries. They still need Hope Group to take charge because everyone lacks assets and cannot purchase factories.
Hope Group has fragmented all industries and invested them in the market through stocks, with professionals at the helm.
They operate like professional managers. Viewing the entire country as a company is indeed a burden.
Zheng Yifan also wishes to offload his industries within a few years.
Yet, he wonders when there will be someone with enough determination to take over this responsibility.
First, they need to earn enough capital. (To be continued...)
