LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 142 Faith Determination Ceremony (Please Subscribe~)

Leading Supply and Marketing Supermarket Group, the first quarter cadre belief test ceremony.

Shirko could understand this sentence separately, but he couldn't understand it together.

First of all, what is a "supermarket"?
supermarket?

The most commercially developed area in Runeterra is Piltover.But even Piltover had never had a business model like a “supermarket” before.

Silko took Sevica with some concern, and walked up to observe carefully.

No need to enter the door, just stand outside the supermarket and look in, and they instantly understand what a "supermarket" is:
I saw that in the open and empty supermarket, a wide variety of products were neatly placed on the endless shelves like soldiers waiting for inspection, and displayed in front of customers under bright lights.

Compared with those small shops with narrow spaces, this place looks very high-end.

However, the shelves are full of mid-to-low-end products such as food, daily necessities, and fresh fruits, which is obviously a way of being close to the people with small profits but high sales.

Those in Piltover who pay attention to style and have limited spending power will definitely like this supermarket very much.

"A good business idea." Silko commented in a low voice.

"Yes." Sevica also sighed: "These leaders really know how to do business."

"." Shirko was slightly taken aback.

He suddenly realized why he had been wary of this leader's association.

Not only because of the leaders' connections with the Piltover plutocrats, but also because these leaders are too good at doing business.

Their business minds were quicker than any merchant's, and their handling of money was even better than the old Piltover family.

This made Shirko feel very inconsistent.

And this involves the second place in the slogan that Shirko couldn't understand:

"Didn't you say you want to eradicate exploitation?"

"Why did you even get involved with the 'Group'?"

Shirko didn't understand the difference between the "group" run by the leader and the private enterprise run by the Pilters.

Silko, who also had a little understanding of "Janna Thought", couldn't help but stepped forward and stopped a person who looked like a leading leader:
"Hi, I'm also a fan of Janna's theory. Excuse me, but I have some questions to ask you—what kind of 'nature' is your leader, the supply and marketing supermarket group?"

"What's the difference between it and the store run by Picheng Guy?"

Shirko simply expressed his doubts.

He originally thought that the leader's cadre would be embarrassed by this tricky question, and even drove him away in anger.

Unexpectedly, the cadre's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he even came over to shake hands with him enthusiastically:

"How can you ask such a profound question——"

"It seems you must be our comrade too, sir!"

"Comrade?" Shirko was slightly taken aback.

Of course, there is no Chinese language in Runeterra, and there is no word for comrades.

Li Wei used a free translation method, using Noxus vocabulary, as the "comrade" used by the leader.

The original meaning of this word in Noxus is "friends in times of trouble", especially "comrades in arms".

"Will the leader and I be comrades-in-arms?"

Shirko asked himself in his heart.

And the answer to this question depends to a certain extent on the cadre in front of him, answering his previous question.

At this time, I only listened to the leader's cadre's explanation:
"Our leader, the Supply and Marketing Supermarket Group, should be called 'Semi-Gannaism' in nature."

"On the one hand, our group is a state-owned economy established in a market environment on the basis of private ownership, and it is not completely Gannaist in nature."

"On the other hand, our group is different from private sectarianism, and its purpose is not to exploit or make money."

"Market environment." Silko couldn't help teasing.

The market environment is changing, so how could it be possible to start a company without pursuing profitability.

Since you want to make money, don't you have to exploit it?
"You are right." The cadre replied: "Although our purpose is not here, the exploitation of surplus value still exists objectively in our business process."

Without Datong society, exploitation will always exist.Just the difference between more and less.

What the leaders can do now is to greatly reduce the exploitation of people, not to eliminate it.

"But this is the most realistic choice - after all, with the current situation of the Leaders Association, we are still far from getting rid of our dependence on market order."

Leaders now don't even have a legitimate base of their own, and they can't even be considered a political entity. Of course, it is impossible to get rid of the market order that firmly dominates the world.

Leaders need to spend and earn money if they want to develop.

If you want to make money, you have to start a company and start a business, and you have to exploit the surplus value.

"Since there is a need to pursue profit and there is still exploitation, what is the difference between this and Piltover's private enterprise?" Silko asked aggressively.

"We are owned by the state." Although the Leaders' Association is not called a "state" at all, for the sake of easy understanding, the cadres still explain it this way:

"All the assets and profits of our group do not belong to a single family, but to the entire Association of Leaders, and to all the people who follow the Association of Leaders."

But this still couldn't convince Shirko.

The day-to-day management and operation of the group are all controlled by the leading cadres, so if the ownership belongs to the public, it belongs to the public?

The money has all gone into the pockets of the Leaders Association, so can the public still benefit from it?

"Of course." The cadre replied very frankly: "The profits our supply and marketing supermarket group earns from the market, except for maintaining operations and expanding reproduction, all the rest will be handed over to the association."

"Although the association will not send money directly to everyone, they will use the money to benefit the public."

The Leaders Association is making money, but it is also constantly throwing money for the public.

Hospitals cost money, schools cost money, poverty relief costs money, vocational training costs money, community cleaning costs money, public transportation costs money, technology research and development costs money, and military construction costs money.
"We can guarantee that every penny we earn is spent for the benefit of all the people." The cadre explained sincerely.

"Really?" Shirko was still skeptical.

The profits are taken from the people and used for the people.That sounds great.

But in terms of specific implementation, doesn't it have to go through individual cadres and individuals?
Silko doesn't believe in humanity.

Such a large amount of money passed through the leader's hands. If the cadres want to get it, even if Li Wei wants to get it, who can stop it?

And if Li Wei can make profits for himself as long as he wants, what is the difference between the Leaders Association and the private enterprises in Piltover?
"That's why public supervision is needed!" said the cadre.

"Supervisor?" Shirko wanted to laugh.

This is Runeterra.It is a magical world where people are born absolutely unequal.

Li Wei can blow dozens of hundreds of people away in one breath, how can the public supervise him?Do you have a gun?
Not to mention Li Wei who knows magic.

People in Zu'an have held guns for more than 200 years, and almost everyone is a soldier. After more than 200 years, who can supervise the Alchemy Baron?

Return public supervision, why should the public supervise?
"That's all." The cadre replied.

As he spoke, he pointed to the promotional slogan on the banner:

"The cadre's belief determination ceremony——"

"The main leaders of our group need to publicly measure their beliefs under public supervision every quarter."

"Faith is the foundation of becoming a leading cadre. Only those who have enough faith to pass this threshold are eligible to be selected as leading cadres by virtue of their talents and qualifications."

"But becoming a cadre is not done once and for all."

"If the cadres are slack in their work, their quality has deteriorated, and their beliefs have faded, then they are not qualified to sit in this position and hold this power."

"And this 'Certificate of Cadres' Belief Testing' is a public test of the beliefs of leaders and cadres."

This is the third place that Shirko can't understand.

"Belief test?" Silko was very puzzled: "How to test?"

"Janna will tell us," the officer said.

Shirko: "."

When it comes to co-authoring, in the end, are you still playing the trick of the magic stick?

He didn't trust the leaders even more now.

But the cadre just smiled confidently: "The measurement ceremony will start soon, sir, you will see."

As he spoke, he stopped explaining to Shirko.

Shirko and Sevica stepped aside with concern, waiting quietly.

After a few minutes, the ceremony began.

Under the watchful eyes of all the staff and passers-by, the cadres of the Leader Supply and Marketing Supermarket Group held hands, shoulder to shoulder, stood on the road and began to sing:
"."

These devout believers communicated with the goddess Janna through singing, and borrowed a trace of the goddess' divine power.

As a result, "threads" appeared faintly on the cadres present, on the staff, and even on the passers-by participating in the supervision.

"This is." Shirko's eyes widened in shock.

"This is the line of belief of the goddess." Someone enthusiastically explained: "As long as you are a true Janna believer, you will have such a line."

Then there was a gust of breeze, and a blue bird quietly came to the world——

This is the external incarnation of the goddess Janna, which means that the goddess has "read".

It is not only the public who supervise them, but also an undead goddess who is absolutely impartial and selfless.

"What?" Shirko couldn't accept it for a while.

Goddess Janna actually exists?

Could this be a trick, a trick by a mage?

Can these so-called lines of faith really reflect the purity of a person's faith?

Shirko had doubts in his heart.

But Sevica looked at him in shock: "Xi, Shirko—"

"You have 'line' too!"
