"Oh, I'm just a blind person reading a book, eh, the more I read, the blinder I get?"
After telling a cold joke that he couldn't even laugh at, Lu Pingan raised the book in his hand, which was his "notebook" full of extraordinary knowledge.
He is indeed very idle now, and among his team, he is probably the only one who is idle.
"I have divided the project and work scope. How to complete it next is their business. If they can't complete it, I will replace them."
The experience of two generations has given Lu Pingan a slightly different management philosophy from this era.
He is not the kind of traditional leader who says, "I build an organization, I have to be responsible for the organization, and for the operation of the organization, I have to divide responsibilities bit by bit and recruit people to work."
It is more like the new-age "outsourcing company" that "I have a project, so I need some people to complete it. If they complete it well, a stable working relationship can be formed."
He did not divide departments first and then distribute tasks.
Instead, projects were thrown out one by one and handed over to department heads for them to work on.
Throwing the project to them in advance also allows them to start thinking, preparing, and recruiting people to do it now.
If they do well, the department head will be theirs; if they do poorly, they will be recruited from outside, and they will become their deputy.
"Do you think they can handle it on their own?" Xia Qin sighed, and she was the only one who could take the initiative to ask Lu Ping'an what he meant by turning away the shopkeeper.
"No, during this rest period, it would be a good achievement to complete one or two."
Lu Pingan shrugged. He was still self-aware of the abilities of his colleagues.
"But the point is not whether they can complete this project, but after starting this project, the funds, materials, and human resources we have accumulated will be integrated to achieve the goal and transformed into a shape that can produce certain results."
Now, Xia Qin understood a little bit.
"First draw a goal, then use the process of achieving the goal to build a team?"
"It's almost as good as what you can do. In this process, we also need to look at your management and organizational skills. They will definitely need to recruit special personnel to handle it. This will save me the trouble of recruiting people myself."
Lu Ping'an saw clearly that those in his core team were not qualified leaders.
He established a company and built a community structure not just to play the old game of kingship and hegemony.
"If you ask me, it's definitely not just for their mission, right? An Xin, I have no ambitions, and I won't go against the times and become a warlord. I just want to expand the ways to obtain resources, and at the same time, to further my career path.
."
"Really?" Xia Qin was silent for a moment. She didn't want to do this either, but she had to ask clearly.
"Yes." Lu Ping'an said with rare sincerity.
"Then you are a little strange. It was when you were there, and it is even more like this after you leave. You are always thinking about something."
Xia Qin didn't beat around the bush and asked directly if she had any ideas.
In her opinion, Lu Pingan is indeed a little strange these days. He is not a proactive person, let alone making plans so far in advance.
He has the ability, but lacks the motivation to use it.
Is it because of the huge gains this time and the change in status and identity that he wants to change his attitude? No, Lu Ping'an is not such a person.
The most puzzling thing is that he has been hiding and reading alone recently, or looking into the distance silently.
When Xia Qin asked directly, Lu Pingan was silent for a moment.
"That's because I saw a higher scenery."
The young man's blind eyes looked up at the sky.
Above it was the sky of the gods' kingdom, but in Lu Ping'an's eyes, it seemed as if he could see the wings covering the sky again, the hot and beautiful firebird.
"Want to become stronger?"
"No, I just want to live longer and live better."
Lu Ping'an's answer is as realistic as ever.
In the past, he regarded life as asceticism, and he would reach the end sooner or later, so why bother about what he had and what he didn't have.
But now along the way, he is no longer alone.
"Does all life eventually come to an end?"
At least, Lu Pingping doesn’t think human civilization has a chance to see the Firebird’s destination.
This time, the biggest gain was actually achieved soon after Lu Ping'an arrived in this ring world.
He saw the "Firebird" and saw the "higher level" scenery.
"I just know that with my development path, just relying on the normal development method, that kind of hard training alone, I will only be a ninth level at most, and with luck I will become a tenth level."
What Lu Pingan said could probably make others laugh. Such arrogance should have been in a dream.
A quasi-god of the ninth level at most? If you’re lucky, you can reach the tenth level? Why don’t you go to heaven?
"If you do this, can you go far enough? It needs to be so early."
"needs."
Lu Ping'an replied affirmatively.
What he needs is not only the resources and security brought by "industry", but also the "order" brought by this rule, and the rules brought by order.
Although it seems to be a cycle, "logic" can be looped, which means that it is a self-consistent "rule", and the rules can become his path.
To put it in easy-to-explain terms, Lu Pingan is weaving his own "trading" rules, and he needs this industry.
"Can I talk to the boss?"
"Of course. You hesitate, which makes me very grateful."
Simple words, but there are too many contents worthy of consideration.
But before leaving, Xia Qin couldn't help but ask:
"Really, is it just to climb higher and live longer?"
Hearing what she said, Lu Ping'an smiled. For someone as old as Xia Qin, she looked more like a child than herself.
"There is a better life, not just for us, but for everyone."
Do the two conflict? The pursuit of higher power itself will bring about a better life.
It’s enough to just mention some words. The biggest beneficiaries of setting up a company are not even the professionals themselves.
In the past, explorers and professionals worked for themselves, nominally for the country, but they were responsible for their own profits and losses. If they died in battle, they would not be able to receive any pension, and even reached a deadlock due to "disappearance".
But now, if a company is established, even if Lu Pingan dies and someone takes over his position, but the company does not collapse, the successor must recognize Lu Pingan's "shares" and give adequate treatment to the two elders who inherit them.
Not only the middle and senior management who have shares, but also the grassroots employees also have an object of "loyalty". Then, the dedication and overtime work need to be recorded. Even if something happens, at least there is a company that will take care of their families.
Lu Ping'an saw these things very clearly, he was just too lazy to talk about them.
He could have used it as a result to deceive others, but since Xia Qin asked, he gave the real answer.
"It turns out that this is the road to the highest."
The book that Lu Pingan opened contained forbidden knowledge about the professions of Juggler, Red Meteor, and Pale Hand.
Is it just for the runner path? No, it's not really that simple. He had actually completed the fourth-level form of the red meteor long ago, but the moment he stepped out, he hesitated.
He could feel that it was not just the fourth level, he could step to the next level at any time.
Fifth level? Even sixth level may be just a matter of thought.
He received a spiritual warning. Based on his current accumulation, as long as he is determined to break through the fifth level, he will complete the sixth level combination within three months. His accumulation is enough, he just needs to cash it in.
But if he really does this, I'm afraid he will miss the ladder to a higher level.
Maybe there will be a chance to be re-elected later, but I am afraid that not only will I have to pay a hundred or ten thousand times the price, but I may not be able to wait until my death.
The reality is cruel. Sometimes "choice" is far more important than "effort", and it's time for Lu Ping'an to make a choice.
"Is it eternal? I have to step on the shoulders of the big cat to exert force, so that I can go further."
