The excitement is mixed with a solemn sense of ceremony, unique to the recruits and conscripts who have been rolling around on the battlefield.
In fact, Sumo is the one who can most empathize with the tremendous pressure that many new recruits face on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the feeling of confusion, fear, and helplessness can only be overcome through a long period of adaptation.
In this process, all outsiders can do is create an external condition that can alleviate the pressure as much as possible, and eventually let them get used to it.
Disembark and enter the territory.
Whether it is the welcome or the sense of ceremony, Qiao Yuansheng did not save any budget during the operation, and basically set it up according to top standards.
However, Sumo did not choose to participate, but chose to leave through another path.
After all, the little players can't get excited when he's around, and they're all so constrained by their image, so it's better to leave as soon as possible and give these people a space to release their stress.
The path passes through more than a dozen plantations. After a severe cold, the crops in the plantations look sparse, which makes people sigh at the power of nature.
When we got closer to the town, there weren't many people around. They probably all went to the dock to join in the fun.
Sumo didn't think there was anything strange. He parked the airship at a dedicated location on the first floor of the shelter and walked down the stairs, planning to submit the time-limited mission quickly.
The last limited-time mission gave the magical B6 layer, which was surprising both in terms of delivery and various black technologies.
Although this time it is just a random building, who knows if it will be a big deal.
Sumo is quite confident about his recent luck.
What he didn't expect was that when the elevator slowly descended to the second floor of the shelter and stopped, a surprise was quietly waiting for him.
The moment the elevator door slowly opened, the surrounding lights suddenly lit up as if by magic, illuminating the entire second underground floor like daylight.
The originally bland second floor has now been carefully decorated, as dazzling as an underground palace.
Gorgeous wall decorations are hung on the walls, colorful balloons are flying on the ceiling, and soft red carpets are spread on the floor. Everywhere reveals a strong festive atmosphere.
Doors opened one after another, and hundreds of people happily poured out from behind the ajar doors.
"Lord!"
"Brother~~"
"Ouch~"
Among the voices calling for the lord, there were a few friendly and familiar voices, which made Somo's frowned brows soothing.
The fireworks gun crackled and gold dust fell from the sky, as if he had won the championship.
There was a video camera nearby. Five people stood in the southeast, northwest, and middle, recording the celebration scene from all directions.
"What are you doing?"
Su Mo held his forehead, quickly gave the guard a look, and separated a few people who came up and wanted to sign.
"Celebrate, this is the first time our territory has won a battle."
Su Chan overjoyed and said with a smile: "We don't even have to celebrate this properly. If someone asks us about it in the future, we will be accused of being lazy."
“Where is the first time?”
"This is the first time for a crowd of ten thousand people, right?"
Seeing that Su Chan's eyebrows were raised, Su Mo paused and had no choice but to accept the celebration with a "guilty conscience".
Well, we can't hide what we should hide.
Although he was involved in the entire war and did not contribute a single contribution, not to mention his image in the eyes of ordinary people, even the conscripts and Tianyuan Army soldiers who participated in the entire war felt that he had contributed a lot.
.
What, you ask me where my gong is?
Is it possible that the former emperor went on a personal expedition and had to charge at the front with the soldiers?!
In their view, as long as Sumo can follow him, it is the greatest guarantee of safety and the greatest contribution.
The celebration continued until evening.
It wasn't until everyone in the circle was drunk that Sumo was able to escape.
When I returned to the office, everything around me seemed so familiar, including the piles of official documents on the table that were even partially placed on the floor, and they seemed extremely friendly.
"Ah, why are there so many?"
Sitting on the chair, Sumo counted the number of official documents on the table and suddenly felt a headache.
Obviously he has only been away for two weeks, and there are more than 400 documents that need to be approved.
Some of them that have already made preliminary opinions are easier to handle. It only takes about three minutes to browse through them. If you agree or disagree, the approval is completed.
But for those files that required his attention, it would take ten minutes just to browse the information on them.
At best, if he processes these documents for eight hours a day, he will be busy for the next week.
But then again, this is actually war.
As long as you can win, the whole battle process is just the easiest part.
The real troublesome part will fall in the preliminary preparation and aftermath matters.
Fortunately, this expedition did not involve occupying land, so there were relatively few troubles.
Sumo briefly browsed through them, and most of them involved expenditures on war supplies and the subsequent large-scale urban infrastructure construction.
During the entire Dwarf Campaign, the territory continued to expend troops and supplies. Among them, the most crazy warships and cargo ships were produced, with a total of 127 ships, using almost all the inventory accumulated by the steel factory in the early stage.
This can be seen from the application to excavate Iron Stone Mountain. The weapons, ammunition, shields, equipment, etc. produced alone have almost consumed half of the territory's entire inventory, and the original copper mines have basically been excavated.
It is clean and only a few iron ore remains.
If no new copper resource points are found in the future, even the production of ammunition will become a big problem.
And this does not include other public resource consumption.
For example, the large amount of copper coins that are about to be released will not only bring about a short-term trade boom, but also cause the territory's reserve to instantly bury a huge deficit!
If it is not handled well, the deficit will become a big thunder that detonates the territory.
Of course, Sumo was still confident about this, otherwise he wouldn't have shouted out such treatment before setting off.
After approving about a dozen urgent official documents, just when he was about to take a break, the guard outside the door sent news.
It turned out that the managers from the eastern suburbs came together to visit!
After hearing the news of the army's triumphant return, this group of people prepared gifts and rushed over without stopping.
But because the celebration was not over, I had to sit in the hotel in Hope Town and wait.
Being able to wait from noon until now, this group of people was very patient, so Sumo decided to meet them.
Arrive at the cafeteria on the first floor of the shelter where we can talk.
There were seven managers from Dongjiao sitting inside, facing a pot of Yunwu tea in the center of the table. Everyone's movements looked a little stiff, as if they were very nervous.
"Cristia Tuono, Tuono, welcome to you, all managers from Qinggang City! Do you mind if I call you that?" Sumo opened the door and walked in, facing one of the slightly shorter ones.
The man laughed.
He just saw the other party's information on the official document, and in the blink of an eye he saw the real person.
Moreover, no one paid attention to the eastern suburbs in previous surveys. I didn't expect that there is such a good place there. Repairing so many abandoned factories there can completely save most of the effort.
"Leader Su, you're too polite. With all due respect, you are more familiar with Blue Star Language than we are. We can hardly tell who is the native of this world." Tono was wearing a brand new blue suit.
He was wearing a gentleman's uniform. When he spoke, he took off his high hat and bowed respectfully.
If nothing else, this attitude alone makes people extremely satisfied.
"Sit down and talk, don't be formal." Sumo extended his hand to signal, and then greeted the remaining six managers one by one and got to know each other.
All of them understood their current identities and status, and there was no bloody taunting incident.
Looking at this posture, it is obvious that he is ready to join the alliance.
"Tea, food, I want to treat a few friends from the eastern suburbs!" Sumo casually shouted to the kitchen, and immediately a waiter walked out with a tea tray.
If you open a restaurant in a shelter, the flow of people is actually not large, so it is not as profitable as a mobile stall.
Therefore, when the tea restaurant Somo was set up in the early stage, it was not intended to make money. It was only intended to be a place where a group of people discussing business cooperation could talk.
Unexpectedly, more and more people started to discuss cooperation, and they all loved coming here.
Over time, some residents who like to "show off" like to come here to brag when they have nothing to do.
It doesn't matter if you don't check. After checking the accounts, Sumo was shocked to find that the turnover and profit of the tea restaurant were actually the highest among the entire shelter shops.
This has also directly led to the restaurant's product standards getting higher and higher, and many chef apprentices have come to help cook.
"Yunwu tea, the specialty drink of our Tianyuan territory, you can try it. If you like it, I will send someone back to give you some. Drinking tea and chatting when you have nothing to do can be regarded as leisure and entertainment."
"Thank you, Leader Su, for your warm hospitality."
"Then we won't be polite."
"It smells so good. It's much better than our homemade drinks."
After drinking hot tea, the atmosphere relaxed a little.
Sumo turned to look at Tuonuo and said, "Come here today. It seems that you have decided to cooperate?"
"Yes, I heard Mr. Aldrich say that the alliance wanted to rebuild the entire city that day, and I was moved at that time. It's a pity that the leader of the Soviet alliance left the territory with his troops, so I came here to visit today." Tono showed his attitude very well.
Low, I can't tell you that he is the manager of the Gopher Sanctuary at all.
"Your factory seems a bit big?" Sumo knew the other party's purpose.
"Yes, Leader of the Soviet Alliance, we have nearly 40 large factories, and nearly 300 medium and small factories. This is definitely the best place to rebuild, and it can bring very considerable benefits to the alliance." Tuono was very happy.
To be honest, I didn’t dare to falsify the numbers.
These are all things that can be clarified with a little research. It would be bad if the murderous god in front of you is angered.
He spent the whole night last night, thinking over and over again that joining the alliance would be the right choice.
Including a group of old antiques from the shelter also thought it would be better to join the alliance.
At that time, when they go to Tianyuan Territory, they don't have to go through the damn identity check because they are allies, and they can visit and stay in Tianyuan Territory unimpeded.
"Okay, let me tell you the truth. I can provide the materials for repairing the factory, and there is no problem with the construction engineers. But after it is completed, I need you to open the factory in strict accordance with the model I issued, and we must sign an agreement.
A permanent cooperation agreement." Sumo took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"First, I decide the categories of factory production. I can't say anything to make money, so you all pounce on me. This is called squeezing. Do you know squeezing? It's not good for you, me, or him."
There is no benefit. In the end, everyone may not make a penny and still lose money.”
"Second, without my permission, you cannot trade the goods produced in the factory to other forces or individuals in any form. This is a condition that I need to strictly declare. Once someone violates it, it will be directly regarded as challenging the alliance."
"Third, the alliance takes goods from the factories you open, and your selling prices must be delivered at cost. Don't even think about making a penny from the alliance."
"Wait, it's only cost price?" a manager couldn't help but ask.
"Leader Su, we can't run a factory at a loss, right? The cost price can't support the factory and the workers."
"What are you in a hurry for?" Su Mo smiled. This man was right. You really can't make money by opening a factory.
First, the technology is in his hands, and second, the labor is also in his hands.
If the order is given, no matter how big the factory is, it will probably close down in a matter of minutes, and it will not be able to survive at all.
"There is no lunch from the sky in this world, and there is no free and selfless risk. If you participate in the entire reconstruction plan process, of course I will let you make money."
"Each cost price does not refer to your real production cost, but the alliance will give you a fair purchase price. The minimum price will cover your human and material expenditures, ensuring that you neither make any profit nor lose anything."
"As for if you want to make money, it's very simple. If you increase production capacity while maintaining quality and quantity, the alliance will set up a reasonable incentive clause. The higher the production capacity, our purchase price will increase accordingly. Of course, you can also continue.
To reduce costs, as long as you have the strength, one copper coin can be purchased at the cost of only one iron coin, so aren't these nine iron coins equal to your net profit?"
"The Alliance doesn't need idlers or vampires. We are companions on the same front. Do you want a group of companions who can only hold you back?"
Sumo spoke very quickly, crackling and outputting high-frequency opinions.
This is a big challenge for managers who only receive external information for a long time.
"What you mean is that the alliance can provide us with a platform. Whether we can make money depends on our own ability?" Tono thought carefully and replied with eyes brightening.
"For example, if we achieve breakthrough research and development in the original technology, will the acquisition price also increase?"
"Correct answer!"
Sumo applauded softly. The managers in the eastern suburbs were indeed smarter than the people in the southern suburbs, and they quickly grasped the key to the problem.
Life without KPI is incomplete.
In his opinion, the most critical reason why a group of gopher managers are so lazy and many of them become mediocre after taking office is that they lack a way to continue to move up.
Or to put it another way, there is no room for their abilities to be used.
No matter how hard we try, we can neither become the overlord of the city nor rise up with a refuge.
Now, what Sumo has to do is to give these people a goal to continue working hard.
Want to make money?
Want to rise with shelter?
Want to open a large factory that can continuously produce blood?
Very good, join Tianyuan Alliance with this idea, everything will become a reality!
