For Iger, this week has been quite pleasant. He just walked around, wrote, ate and drank every day.
For others, it is still an extremely fulfilling (busy) week.
The rainy season has finally arrived.
The heavy rain brought by the hurricane has been falling for two days and three nights. Although it has become lighter, it has not stopped.
Due to the heavy rain, all outdoor work has been suspended. Fortunately, after working intensively in the past few days, we were able to finish several major tasks before the rainy season came.
The fence has been erected, but when the heavy rain comes, a lot of soil will probably be washed away, and it will be repaired after the rain.
The wheat on the farm has also been sown. In accordance with Egger's maximum planting requirements, Little John planted all the land on the farm, about 80 acres.
Based on the guaranteed harvest of 1 ton per acre, the reclamation group will have 80 tons of grain in stock by autumn.
Thinking of this, Aige felt happy.
Kate also brought the truck back. She did not choose the largest tractor-trailer truck, but brought back several integrated trucks. With the trucks, Ross Town's door was already there.
Several trucks are blocking the road side by side, with their noses inside and out, reducing the area of the road by half. Steel plates cut from other places are welded to the backs of the trucks to block the gaps below, and the original parts of the trucks are reused.
Some are far higher than the height of the fence, so the gate is considered complete.
When night falls, the duty team members will reverse the last truck from the roadside and fill in the last gap in the road, thus forming a complete closed loop in Ross Town.
The fortifications in Ross Town were completed in a timely manner. During this time, Egger noticed that more and more vehicles were crossing the border. He secretly noted that in just a few days, hundreds of people had already passed through Ross Town.
Egg has a hunch that the security pressure in Jixi Town will further increase, and Andy will probably ask him to borrow troops again.
Now that Iger has enough manpower, it would be no problem to send two or three more teams to Andy.
Sure enough, at noon that day, Iger received a call from the gospel radio, calling him and Maria to go to Jixi Town.
A rainy day is not a good weather to go out, but since Andy is calling at this time, it means that he has encountered a very difficult thing.
The sky outside was as dark as night. If it hadn't been for the time displayed on his watch, Iger would never have imagined that it was noon.
The wipers were turned to maximum, but the visibility was still very low. Joanna did not dare to drive too fast. The pickup truck slowly drove towards Jixi Town at a speed of less than 40 kilometers per hour.
After finally reaching Rapid Creek, Egger rushed forward despite the heavy rain, and finally entered the Morgan Building before his pants got soaked.
"What a bad weather." Andy, who had been waiting at the door, handed a towel to Egg, whose upper body was soaked.
When Joanna saw that the rain was too heavy, she simply refused to get out of the car. It would be nice to stay in the car.
"Maria is already here, let's go upstairs." Andy said without too much politeness to Iger, he got straight to the point.
When we arrived at the chairman's office on the fourth floor, Maria had indeed arrived.
I haven’t seen her for almost ten days. After Iger saw Maria, I felt that she had changed to some extent. For example, when she wore clothes with deep necklines, she was no longer as restrained and uncomfortable as before.
After closing the office door, Andy slowly walked back to the chairman's chair and sat down.
Andy said to Iger and Maria with fatigue and anxiety: "Our current situation is very critical. Iger should know something about the situation, but I don't know if you have done statistics. In just ten days, we have entered the gospel team
There are a total of 202 survivors in the safe zone."
Ah, so many.
Iger was also surprised. He sat at the door of the church and counted every day, but he actually missed dozens of people.
"These 202 people are broken down, and they have all kinds of needs." Andy said to the two people: "The teams that are willing to form an alliance and the teams that are unwilling to form an alliance have been sent away. Now there are still 2
37 people in the team are willing to join the gospel team as a sub-team.
Forget about these things, there are currently 89 people who want to join the gospel team directly, and Jixi Town cannot absorb so many people."
When Andy said this, Iger and Maria also understood their current predicament.
The growth of a team requires the continuous addition of new members, but if too many new members come, it will be overwhelmed.
Andy called Ige and Maria over this time. In addition to wanting to distribute these people who couldn't eat to the two sub-teams for digestion, the natural delivery solved the unfinished business last time.
This time, Andy finally stopped pretending to convene a full board meeting. He decided to directly use the chairman's order to implement the new director expansion plan. Vance had already nodded, and now he only needed the nods of Iger and Maria.
Just dare to do it.
This is what people often say, small meetings solve small things, and small meetings solve big things.
Regarding the stay of more than a hundred new members, the three of them stayed in the office and discussed it in less than half an hour.
The first is the expansion of the board of directors.
After Iger thought for a while, he suggested to Andy: "The directors should not expand directly and give everyone a buffer time.
You can first appoint senior consultants to the sub-team as reserve directors. After they have worked for a period of time and have performed well in the assessment, they can then be promoted to directors.
This provides an additional incentive for the new directors and an explanation for the old directors.”
Maria didn't express any opinions on Iger and Andy's proposal, and Andy took it as her acquiescence.
As for other directors, Andy can listen to their opinions, but he may not necessarily listen to them.
Next are 89 newcomers.
This problem is not something that can be easily overcome. If it is not handled well, the disintegration and defection of the gospel team will happen again.
Finally, through discussion, everyone decided to allocate new people according to the proportion of existing team members.
All the original teams were broken up, and the nearly ten teams were first mixed into a lump of mud, and then the people were assigned to the heads according to the division method of one for you and one for me.
As a result, Iger was assigned to 55 people, Maria was assigned to 7 people, and the remaining 27 people were left to Andy.
Things are really different now. In the past, I always felt that there were too few people in the team and there was not enough manpower to do anything. Now there are too many people and I can’t handle them.
Iger looked at his watch and saw that it was still early, so he told Andy that he was going to take his people away today to avoid a long night of dreams.
It can be imagined that forcibly splitting up a team will inevitably encounter great dissatisfaction and resistance, such as forcibly splitting up brothers, lovers, fathers and sons. But the more this happens, the more necessary it is to split up. This is a bloody lesson.
Egg first found Lily and asked her to wait to send an urgent message to the reclamation team. Then Egg found Andy and Maria at the door of the Morgan Building, who were looking at the heavy rain outside.
Once things are arranged, they should be done as soon as possible. Iger knows that when the weather is bad, people's mood will be even lower. If you have to wait until the heavy rain stops and such a large group of people gather together, you can't tell what will happen.
Not to mention raining, even if the sky rains knives, we have to do it.
Egger plunged into the heavy rain. The rain seemed to be heavier than before. When he got into the pickup truck, water was flowing all over his body.
Then, Andy and Maria squeezed into the back of the pickup truck. After Iger turned his head and said a few words to Andy, he immediately sat upright and didn't look away.
Andy still didn't know what happened. After he leaned his head over and spoke a few more words to Iger, he suddenly realized that Maria's clothes were all wet.
Maria is not very good at wearing daily clothes yet, so she only wears this one piece of clothing.
So Andy immediately sat up straight and didn't look sideways.
So, rainy days are the most annoying thing, so Joanna chose not to get out of the car.
The pickup truck honked its horn several times and flashed its lights, followed by two other vehicles.
These are the two Under teams sent by Egg. Although all the weapons of the newcomers have been turned in when registering, no one can tell whether anyone has hidden them secretly. Just the three of Egg, Egg does not have the courage to enter this place.
Plant the dragon pond and tiger den.
Following Andy's guidance, the pickup truck arrived at the edge of the residential area in Jixi Town. The area seemed heavily guarded, with trenches and barbed wire separating several houses from the entire residential area.
Iger is very familiar with this place. He brought dozens of people to station here, and it took a week of messing around to transform it into this bird look.
This is the transitional resettlement area that Andy just designated.
The pickup truck drove directly to the grass in the center of the resettlement area. After a blast of horns, the windows and doors of the residence were opened. Everyone looked at the strange motorcade in the heavy rain with curious and anxious expressions.
Iger took off the megaphone and started shouting: "Attention all members, attention all members, everyone gather here at the car."
After Iger shouted once, he saw everyone crowded at the door and window. They looked at the heavy rain outside and did not move.
I don’t know why, but Iger suddenly became angry. He picked up the megaphone and shouted for the second time: "Attention all members, attention all members, everyone come to the car to assemble. Anyone who fails to assemble after calling three times will be deemed to have failed."
Automatically give up qualifications.”
As soon as he finished shouting, Iger handed the megaphone to Joanna and said, "Wait a few minutes, and you can shout for me one last time." After saying that, Iger opened the car door and plunged into the heavy rain.
It rained heavily and was very cold, but after a while, your body got used to the temperature of the rain, and you got used to it.
Iger stood silently in the rainstorm, and then Andy stood beside him.
After a while, eight armed guards stood in a row behind them.
The current scene makes people feel a little suffocated, and many people are frightened. I don't know whether it is the behavior of these people or the weapons in their hands.
A few timid people walked into the rain timidly and stood at the designated position.
With them taking the lead, some newcomers who were watching also walked into the heavy rain one after another.
At this time, Sister Maria also came into the heavy rain. She was wearing a crimson dress that didn't fit well.
This is the coat Joanna lent her.
Just now, Maria finally discovered why the two men in the car suddenly stopped talking. When she discovered the truth, she turned red with shame.
When she saw Iger and Andy standing in the rain, Maria wanted to follow them, but she looked at the heavy rain and did not dare to leave the car.
At this time, Joanna took off her red coat and handed it over.
"It's dark in color and won't show through even if it gets wet." Joanna said to Maria.
Maria took Joanna's clothes with gratitude and put them on. When pulling the zipper, Maria found that the zipper was halfway pulled and could not be zipped up.
Too tight.
Maria grabbed both sides of the clothes with one hand, and pulled the zipper buckle with her other hand. Finally, the zipper was zipped up 2/3 and could no longer go up.
Maria looked down and thought, That's it, then she opened the car door and rushed into the heavy rain.
"Everyone, listen, I'm shouting for the last time. Anyone who doesn't go out to gather will be deemed to have given up voluntarily." A female voice rang out from the loudspeaker, with a sharp tone in her voice, and the people who were watching finally greeted her.
I braved the heavy rain and stood on the grass.
now it's right.
The weather was bad today, so we could actually go to each house and count people, but Iger had to do the roll call in the heavy rain.
That's right, Egg is pua newcomers, he is taming, and he is using his power to conduct obedience training.
When it comes to bringing in new people, Iger knows there are two ways.
The gospel community uses one method, but the reclamation group uses a second method.
The first way is to exchange your heart with your heart, treat your subordinates with true feelings, slowly influence your subordinates, and stimulate their sense of identity.
The second method is to directly suppress the authority, set an extremely strict rule for everyone, break the bottom line of everyone's psychological expectations, and let everyone's endurance reach the limit. Then, slowly let go during the training to let the subordinates have a
A feeling of coming back to life.
Egger always uses the first method when dealing with his subordinates. He believes that people should be able to understand each other. Even dogs and people can communicate, let alone humans.
An old man also told Iger that the vast majority of people in this world are bitches. The better you treat them, the more hypocritical they become. Carrots and sticks are timeless methods. The most effective way is to give the stick first.
, and give me carrots.
Iger doesn't care about this theory, and he has also been criticized by others for being "kind but not capable of fighting". However, Iger's team can always produce convincing results, so Iger firmly believes that positive incentives are the way to go.
As a result, Iger hit a wall in the gospel team.
Through constant reflection, Iger figured out what was going on.
In the past, he kept handing out carrots to his subordinates. That was because there was a bigger stick on his head. Everyone could see the big stick without looking up. For those who went too far, someone helped Iger beat them.
Iger used his past experience in the gospel team, trying to treat his own people with love and tolerance, but what he got in exchange was all kinds of sadness.
When the reclamation regiment was established, because everyone had fought openly and openly before, all these people were captured. From a pua point of view, it was already over. As a result, the members of the reclamation regiment quickly developed cohesion and unity.
sense of identity.
Since it is easy to use, let’s continue.
Therefore, Iger continued to use the method of beating the new members with a stick first and then giving them carrots.
Iger wanted to squeeze this group of people into a ball as quickly as possible. He predicted that there would be more and more migrants. Once this group of people did not digest it well, it would cause a chain reaction, with disastrous consequences and big troubles.
When everyone arrived, Iger turned back to the pickup truck. After opening the door, he leaned his upper body into the car, and then shouted with a megaphone: "The roll call will begin. The people who are called will go to the assigned team voluntarily."
, stay put, leave or enter the wrong team, it will be deemed to be automatically abandoned."
After Iger finished shouting, he handed Joanna a notebook, which recorded the personnel allocation just discussed with Andy and others.
After a while, a female voice shouted on the loudspeaker: "Avi Jeffrey, Team 1."
Andy raised his hand, and a middle-aged man separated from the crowd and walked out, then silently walked behind Andy.
"Byron Mond, Team 2."
Egg raised his right hand, and a darker-skinned woman stood behind him.
"Buck Walpole, Team 3."
"Agnes Grace, Team 2"
No one knew what teaming meant, but many people saw the three leaders standing in the heavy rain and recognized the handsome middle-aged man in team 1. He was the chairman of the gospel team.
There was another young man with a bandaged arm, who looked a bit like Egg Lee, and there was another young beauty with a hot figure and wearing tights, but no one could guess who it was.
Everyone hopes to be assigned to Team 1. Team 1 is led by the chairman, and they should be able to stay in Jixi Town. There are armed guards, food, comfortable beds, electricity, and hot water. It is already like heaven.
There is no difference.
As a result, most of the people were assigned behind Egger. Of course, those who were not assigned to the third team were disappointed.
After picking the people, Iger walked back to the pickup truck. He said to Joanna: "You lead the way and we will follow."
Joanna looked at Iger, who was dripping with water. With a hint of anger, she picked up the megaphone and shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen, follow my car and return to Jixi Town."
On the town ring road outside Jixi Town, a pickup truck was slowly moving forward with double flashers. Behind it was a team advancing silently in the heavy rain. At the end were two pickup trucks with double flashers, each with double flashers.
There were three armed guards standing in the compartment of the car.
This refreshing rainstorm turned into a baptism for new members.
