Chapter 214 Company Incentives
It took nearly 7 years to dig through the tunnel, and now there are only 30 miners standing in front of Zhou Ming.

These miners are all honest and honest, and they belong to the part of him that he trusts.

The other more than 100 people, a few days ago, Zhou Ming dismissed them after paying their wages on the grounds that the project was about to be completed.

Therefore, the last 30 miners became the lucky ones selected by Zhou Ming, the lucky ones who lived a new life in District 49.

These miners were of course very pleasantly surprised, especially after learning that they could bring their families here, they all cheered and almost shouted "Long live the boss".

Wait, isn't Area 49 short of water?In the desert area with little rainfall, it is difficult to grow food in the ground, and there is no place to exchange all kinds of materials. Why not stay in the 51 underground mining area?
In fact, this is not a big problem at all.

The water problem is best solved. What skills do these miners use to make a living?Drilling holes, as long as the protection is done well, the ore that is [-] to [-] kilometers deep in the ground can be drilled, and it is afraid that the groundwater that is tens or hundreds of meters deep from the ground cannot be drilled?
For food, we plant some drought-resistant jujube and date palms; for salt, we can go to the beach to find someone to buy; for electricity, we can only assemble a few low-power wind turbines, and desert areas are generally windy, so wind power generation is possible.

Of course, the most important thing is to keep it secret. If someone leaks this secret with a bad mouth, then Zhou Ming has no choice but to kill him or blow up that tunnel completely!

"We will definitely not tell it! We will not tell it even if we are killed!"

The miners patted their chests and promised that they would keep their mouths in check and never tell this secret!
Zhou Ming nodded and chose to trust them. After all, he couldn't think of a reason for something that was obviously of great benefit to the individual and the collective. There would be such a person: while betraying the interests of the collective , but also harm their own interests.

In order to get through this tunnel, Zhou Ming spent an astonishing amount of money in the past seven years.

The wages paid to the miners alone exceeded 1.5 million credits, plus supporting tools and equipment, oxygen supply, electricity supply, and various living supplies, the total cost exceeded 5 million credits.

And no matter how much Fang Zhihong took benefits and was corrupt, it was impossible to give him so much money. How did he solve the funding problem?
First, sell water. In areas other than the E7 area, send people to find and sell water on a large scale.

Second, selling electricity still uses magma to generate electricity. In mining areas other than the E7 area, electricity is generated and sold crazily.

Third, sell mines, sell those rare mines that were secretly mined by people.

Of these three ways, selling water and electricity earns the most, and the income earned from selling mines is not even a fraction of the two.

Naturally, seeing so many people stealing water and selling electricity, springing up from various mining areas, the company's general manager "Mr. While destroying the mission system, it also seriously damaged the stability of the mining area.

Of course, Mr. Wang also saw that among the chaotic mining areas, there is one area that has performed brilliantly. In the past few years, not only has the ore output increased steadily, but there have been no major disturbances.

E7 area!

As for Fang Zhihong, the manager of this area, Mr. Wang didn’t have a good sense of him at the beginning. After communicating with him a few times, he felt that apart from his excellent flattering skills, he could only be described as mediocre in other aspects and did not follow the rules.

However, in recent years, Fang Zhihong's various performances have made him admire him with admiration. At the same time, he is also good at flattering skills. Some unique views make him a confidant.

Therefore, this year's monetary reward, who will get it, he already has a candidate in mind.

……

this day.

After returning from the year-end meeting at the company headquarters, Fang Zhihong rushed home with ecstasy on his face. After finding his wife, he yelled at her:
"Wife, wife! I got the reward, I got the company reward!"

"Reward? What reward?" Yuan Jiali asked with a puzzled expression.

"Money, money! Mr. Wang rewarded me with this year's money!"

"Ah! Is this true? Did you really get the reward?"

Yuan Jiali's face was full of surprise, and she fell into ecstasy just like her husband, saying repeatedly: "That's great, that's great!"

After Zhou Ming returned home, he saw the ebullient situation in the house, and heard the word "reward, reward" from time to time, and a smile appeared on his face, presumably it should be a success.

After dinner, Fang Zhihong was called to his office, and Zhou Ming asked for some details.

"How many coins did Mr. Wang give you in total?"

"Seven."

"How many people can it be used for?"

"Eight people."

"Did you explain some precautions to you? What are the main ones?"

"Yes, mainly two..."

"After entering Paradise Zone, will the company send someone to arrange work for you?"

"Yes, I will arrange an easy job for me..."

Fang Zhihong told the truth, even if he didn't want to reveal it so thoroughly in his heart, he was afraid that the little devil in front of him would rob him of his hard-earned money and make him happy in vain.

However, the little devil in front of him seemed to already know the answer, so he was not surprised by the answer he gave. After asking the question, he nodded and said: "It seems that the company gave you the full welfare version. rewards rather than 'punitive' rewards."

The so-called punitive rewards, those who issue rewards, may give one or two less money, or not arrange jobs for them after they are promoted to Area 52... These endings, of course, are a miserable word. They are called rewards, but they are actually the most vicious punishment.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhou Ming dragged his chin with his thumb, and began to think about how to use the money in Fang Zhihong's hand.

Three coins can bring up to three people.

But there are five people in the family, even if the eldest brother Fang Changjie is left to inherit the position of E7 area manager, there are still four people left who need to be arranged.

It is impossible to ask Fang Zhihong not to go to Area 52. In the past two years, the effect of the slave medicine has been significantly weakened, and Zhou Ming does not want to waste another share on him. If he is not allowed to go, he will definitely be strongly dissatisfied, saying Maybe he got out of control directly, and then came to him to settle the score.

There is also this body's mother Yuan Jiali and younger sister Xiaojing. Zhou Ming doesn't have deep feelings for them, but after more than ten years of getting along, a stone can make people think a little bit, let alone a living person?
Life is most afraid of leaving regrets, Zhou Ming doesn't want to leave regrets, so his mother and sister will go to Area 52, under the blue sky and white clouds, to live a better life than the underground mining area.

But this time, all three coins were spent.

Zhou Ming himself, what should we do?
Of course, continue to follow the road of killing competition.

Those murderous competitions that mainly use cold weapons, for him now, no matter what kind of competition format and rules, in front of the open system space, they are like children playing house, without the slightest bit. challenge.

It's just a waste of time.

"You said to bring your mother and your sister with you, and all three of them will go to Paradise?"

Fang Zhihong shook his head violently, and said: "I want to bring it too, but Mr. Wang said that three coins are only enough for one person, and three people can't bring them at all, so..." I'm sorry, I love you guys very much Family, but there is only one ticket to heaven, I will bless you in heaven...he thought to himself.

Whoa whoa whoa!

There was a crisp sound on the desk.

Several golden coins appeared in front of Fang Zhihong's eyes.

"Here are 8 coins, plus the 3 coins in your hand, enough for 3 people to go to Area 52, and the extra 2 coins will allow my mother to find a stable job... Remember I will remind you countless times Over and over again, Area 52 is not heaven! It’s a hell full of all kinds of traps... and the money in your hand, don’t spend it randomly, it’s best not to spend it, at least keep one or more in your hand, if you don’t have even one, Congratulations, you will be taken to an unknown hell by the zeroizers, a hell worse than Area 51!"

Zhou Ming said a lot of reminders. Of course, he had said these words to Fang Zhihong several times before, and introduced him a lot about the situation of Area 52. This time, he emphasized it for the last time.

Fang Zhihong nodded mechanically, still in the shock of the 8 extra coins in front of him, full of endless doubts in his heart: Where did the little devil get these coins?

Of course Zhou Ming would not tell him the answer, anyway, he just wanted peace of mind.

……

A week later.

After simply packing up some things, Fang Zhihong, his mother Yuan Jiali, and his younger sister Fang Xiaojing boarded the transport plane called by the company and headed for the gate of heaven.

Mr. Wang, the general manager of the company, was very puzzled. Isn't this the whole family rushing to die?But three coins could indeed take away three people, so he didn't stop them.

The 21-year-old brother Fang Changjie inherited the position of manager of the E7 area (this is also a kind of reward from the company), but he felt extremely dissatisfied that he could not go to the Paradise Area...Zhou Ming did his ideological work, saying that as long as he Work diligently and continue to implement the strategies formulated by his father. Within 20 years, he will also be able to get rewards from the company, and he will also be able to go to the Paradise District to meet his parents and sister.

Fang Changjie nodded, and became full of energy at work.

After the Fang family, Tie Qiang's family from the previous life, some relatives and friends of the Tie family, and other miners and their families were settled, there were more than 200 people. In the semi-desert area with a lot of groundwater, after settling down, it took nearly a year to transfer a large amount of necessary materials (food alone is enough for seven years), build a wind power station, and dig wells to find water.

In a dry riverbed, after successfully finding groundwater, I used some materials to exchange dozens of saplings and a large number of saplings from an indigenous village a hundred miles away, and planted the saplings and saplings in one day. After watering three times, most of the saplings survived. It is believed that after three to five years, some high-sugar-content sandy dates can be grown and eaten as food.

"Boom~"

With a loud bang, after blowing up the underground tunnel, Zhou Ming, who had solved all his worries, bid farewell to those reluctant villagers in the miner's village. A registration point for the killing competition, and successfully signed up for "The Hunger Games"...
