“Boss, they have all agreed to join under your command and become low-ranking citizens, enjoying the protection of Hope Group while completing the tasks assigned by the organization. However, they wish to retain their right to shop,” the man with glasses said with a smile to Zheng Yifan.
Zheng Yifan never expected this man with glasses to be so capable. What rights did these people still have? They willingly accepted being low-ranking citizens, which meant that the state or the group would exploit them without granting them much status. All they wanted was the freedom to purchase goods, freeing themselves from the previous system of collective supply.
Zheng Yifan had never thought it would be so complicated; otherwise, he would have exhausted himself.
Now, they were being incredibly humane. They admitted to being low-ranking citizens and didn’t care about their working conditions or hours, nor did they mind whether they could earn enough compensation.
Zheng Yifan certainly had no objections. Free labor! In the future, the mines and labor-intensive enterprises would naturally need these people. They could no longer wield weapons; Zheng Yifan absolutely would not allow that. They were once Professional Soldiers, possessing combat skills. If they took up arms, the interests of Hope Group could not be guaranteed, nor could the safety of ordinary citizens.
“Don’t they find it unbearable to not obtain equal status?” Zheng Yifan asked in confusion. Surely no one consciously wanted a lower status?
The Golden Glasses Man looked at Zheng Yifan and suddenly laughed; he finally realized there were things his Boss didn’t know.
“Boss, you might not be aware that in their country, the supervision of ordinary citizens is extremely strict. To leave their place of residence requires approval; otherwise, they can hardly move an inch. Only those in special professions possess special permits for free movement. Moreover, what they use is regulated. It’s not just about having wealth to make purchases. They want to buy things, but there must be someone selling them!” The Golden Glasses Man slowly educated Zheng Yifan.
It was then that Zheng Yifan understood. The country had reached such a point where all media was controlled by the state, and citizens could only sing praises for their president while undergoing brainwashing education.
Although this society no longer served much purpose since humanity was no longer that ignorant, they still adhered to it. The impoverished villages still fell for this trick.
More importantly, after years of exploitation, they had become accustomed to it. Now, what they sought in terms of identity and benefits was what they had once dreamed of.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want equal status; it was simply that such equality did not exist in their consciousness.
As long as they could freely possess some power, that was enough. Zheng Yifan felt pleased.
He also began to formulate a plan; the world had never been fair. It had never been equitable—wherever there were humans, there were classes. Those who once lived in impoverished countries still struggled for survival, while many nations remained isolated and controlled by a ruling class over the Japanese People.
Zheng Yifan needed them; the entire world required metals, steel, and especially a large amount of cement and other materials.
In the future, rare resources would also be necessary.
Not everyone was willing to take on the hardest and most exhausting jobs in the mines.
Zheng Yifan knew that if he were to recruit in Huaxia, no one would come unless he offered a good salary.
The country had entered a special period where it was quite difficult to hire an eight-hour employee for a monthly salary of two to three thousand. Only in cities below the third tier and rural areas was this even possible; wages in Metropolis had long surpassed this level.
In those countries like Vietnam, a monthly salary of ten was already considered a significant amount, and their purchasing power was extremely expensive. The world imposed sanctions on those countries, forcing them to buy overpriced goods, which after layers of exploitation, reached the hands of the common people at exorbitant prices.
Now, Zheng Yifan naturally had to rescue these people with a god-like identity.
In the future, labor-intensive enterprises would rely on them, and truly high-tech talents would gradually improve. Many had perished, but those who remained were the most important; they too had talent.
This was a reshuffling of the world. Those who had talent but could not rise before were now the happiest because they welcomed the fairest era.
In this era, as long as one had talent, they could develop and improve their lives.
Regardless of the field, although everyone was equal before, it was well known that old tycoons and strict government regulations still held sway.
In many countries, hidden taxes exceeded %.
However, Hope Group had significantly reduced taxes in places they rescued compared to many countries.
It only seemed expensive when compared to countries that originally had almost no taxes.
But now the world was unified; without tariffs, there were fewer price differences. The actual gap was not that significant.
Hope Group had conquered Australia and would soon conquer Japan. Huaxia Nation was on its way to domination, and it wouldn't take long.
Zheng Yifan didn't have much time. Now that he had promised these people's identities, he began to arrange their future lives and management. Their previous school was a good place, and Zheng Yifan planned to reclaim it, allowing them to undergo half a month of management training, which could also serve as an internship before they officially took up their positions.
However, for the real management talents, Zheng Yifan still needed to select individuals for future management of Anton.
Although many Survivors had been eliminated by the Seven Legion, there were still plenty of Survivors slowly emerging from the ruins and their hiding places.
They looked at the city that resembled a wasteland, searching for food, but there was none to be found. Gradually, some began to attach themselves to Zheng Yifan because his organization provided food; however, they had to follow orders and participate in the city's re-planning efforts.
Their residences had changed as well. Everyone started settling in the New District, while the Old Town Area was completely abandoned. The New District, on the other hand, was untouched.
Originally, there were hardly any people there—just empty buildings. The houses had been sold, but no one lived in them.
Now that they were moving there, it couldn't be better. Each person received housing according to their abilities and the arrangements made by Hope Group. The sizes of the houses varied greatly. Many were basic units, and they would need to work in exchange for supplies.
Every hour of work could earn them three meals, and then they could work more to obtain additional items like furniture and appliances.
In any case, work was inevitable; starting early could lead to better opportunities.
Moreover, some people wanted to apply at Hope Group's headquarters for permission to open stores. (To be continued...)
