Homo sapiens.

The situation in Dongying, South Korea, Tianzhu, Xiba and Annan is similar. The gold dollar foreign exchange reserves are insufficient, so precious metals can only be used to buy gold dollars.

And their internal reserves of precious metals are very limited, and the price increase of gold is an inevitable result.

If the price is not raised, then some folks will definitely take the risk.

So now Luo Xuan's 1132 gold dollars can be exchanged for 1.7 Chinese dollars, and if they go on the black market, it can even reach about 1.8.

This income can only be considered a medium level in the Pearl River Delta region at this time.

Of course, that was the middle level before the outbreak of the global economic crisis. Now under the impact of the global economic crisis, the foreign trade of the Pearl River Delta region has been greatly affected.

But Luo Xuan still chooses to go back to his hometown. After all, his job does not require a fixed office location, and he can do it at home.

But at home, he doesn't have to pay the rent and high second-hand utility bills, and he can eat with his parents. In this way, he can save thousands of dollars.

With a monthly income of 1.7 Huayuan, in the small town of Puning, that is definitely a high-income group.

Luo Xuan, who was editing the illustrations, suddenly rang, and he saw that it was his colleague.

"Hey, Xuanzi, have you arrived in Puning yet?"

"Here we are, at home."

"That's good. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Some of my colleagues here will also come. I'll share the address later."

"Brother Huang has spent money."

"You're polite, they're all our own people."

After hanging up the phone, although Luo Xuan felt a little socially intimidated, he still bit the bullet and planned to go to the party.

The overseas branch employees of Homo sapiens are not left alone, but will form groups one by one, and conduct unified management in the name of employee mutual aid associations.

Similar to Luo Xuan, he belongs to Homo Sapiens Company-Far East Region-Lingnan Region-Puning Branch.

The job of the employee mutual aid association is to connect with each other, help employees, distribute benefits, organize training and so on.

Brother Huang, who was on the phone with Luo Xuan just now, is the person in charge of the Puning branch.

When Luo Xuan decided to return to Puning, the Yangcheng branch contacted him and asked him to transfer to the Puning branch to facilitate the management of the mutual aid association in the future.

He didn't have too many bad opinions about the employee mutual aid association, because the Yangcheng branch had indeed given him a lot of help before.

In fact, I don’t know that the leaders of the branches in various regions are all new humans carefully selected by Homo sapiens company, with good work ability and professional ethics.

After all, in order to develop and grow in other regions, the employees of Homo sapiens must hold together to keep warm. At the same time, the regional leaders are required to be relatively capable and loyal to the company.

New humans are the best choice.

Luo Xuan looked at the time, and then immersed himself in his work, while revising the illustrations, he communicated with the novel author about his dissatisfaction.

This kind of work is usually priced on a per-order basis. One order is 10 illustrations, and the company gives 20 gold dollars, which is equivalent to earning extra money.

Because the AI ​​side of the novel illustration can also be directly generated, but there may be problems with the details, and at this time, professionals like Luo Xuan are needed to help modify it.

This job is mainly because it is troublesome to communicate with the novel author. If you encounter a more demanding party A, it may take a few days to produce the picture.

Of course, Luo Xuan has also learned to leave work on time. He works 5-6 hours a day, and spends the rest of the time doing what he likes.

Modifying illustrations to earn extra money is actually counted as working hours.

Among the script editors, Luo Xuan is already working hard. Some of them don't take illustration orders at all, and only do comic plot design.

The painting is all handed over to AI, they only provide the plot, inspiration and modification, the work is very easy, especially those editors who are serializing popular comics, they don't care about the 20 gold dollars for the illustration sheet.

Luo Xuan worked a little harder because he wanted to buy a house.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting outside the window.

Chapter 329 Yang Mou

Sunset West Mountain.

Luo Xuan's parents drove a motorcycle and returned to the door of the house.

Luo Xuan's father, a carpenter, knew that his son had returned when he saw the lights in the living room and the sneakers on the shoe cabinet.

"Ah Xuan, are you back?"

Luo Xuan, who was in front of the computer at this time, heard the familiar shout from downstairs, and raised his head: "Dad! I'm upstairs."

The mother who was carrying vegetables and eggs also heard her son's voice, and hurried into the house: "Ah Xuan, don't say anything when you come back, I'll go buy a box of white chicken."

Luo Xuan, who turned off the computer, walked to the stairs: "Mom, no need, I have a party with some colleagues at night, so I don't need to cook my meal."

It was a rare time for the family to get together. While cooking in the kitchen, the mother asked about Luo Xuan's work and life.

The father turned on the TV and chatted with his son.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Luo Xuan checked the time and knew that it was almost time to go to the party, so he went upstairs to change into a suit of more decent clothes and tidy up his appearance.

Walking out of the alley, I found a shared bicycle on the side of the road.

After more than 20 minutes.

Luo Xuan came to the door of a food stall.

A middle-aged man in his thirties, upon seeing Luo Xuan, immediately walked over enthusiastically: "Luo Xuan, right? I'm Huang Xianjun from the Puning branch."

"Hello! Brother Huang, just call me Xuanzi." Luo Xuan was a little cautious.

Huang Xianjun patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be too cautious, we are all our own people, let's go in for dinner! Two colleagues have already come, and two more will come later."

"Let Brother Huang spend the money."

The two walked into the small private room of the food stall.

The other two colleagues who had come over earlier also greeted Luo Xuan warmly when they saw Luo Xuan walking in. The two seemed to be a couple.

Huang Xianjun handed the menu to Luo Xuan: "Xuan Zi, you're welcome, just order whatever you want."

Luo Xuan took the menu and looked at the dishes on it, feeling a bit at a loss as to what to do. Although the price of daily necessities and food has been regulated in China, the impact of the global environment is still unavoidable.

On the menu, fried crab in the typhoon shelter costs 80 yuan, steamed mantis shrimp costs 200 yuan, stir-fried kale with beef costs 40 yuan, clam and winter melon soup costs 80 yuan, garlic minced dried shrimps costs 80 yuan...

The price made him scratch his head. After all, it was someone else's treat. If he ordered casually, he was worried about giving people a bad impression.

Huang Xianjun saw his distress, and shook his head with a smile: "The fried crab in the typhoon shelter is good, and the braised conger eel is also pretty good."

Another male colleague at the side said with a smile: "Don't be polite to Lao Huang, you boy, he is a C-4."

Grade C 4?Of course Luo Xuan knew about Homo sapiens' staff level.

The base salary of Level C 4 starts at 3000 gold dollars, and with other miscellaneous subsidies and the like, it is estimated that it can reach about 4000 gold dollars.

This income is almost four times that of Luo Xuan.

Immediately, Luo Xuan's sense of guilt eased a little. He ordered a beef stir-fried kale and a pumpkin golden soup, and handed the menu to the male colleague who spoke just now:

"Brother Liu, take a look too."

Liu Mingzhi took it with a smile: "You will really save Lao Huang money."

Luo Xuan scratched his head with a dry smile.

Liu Mingzhi's girlfriend asked curiously: "Xuanzi, are you from Mengguo Company?"

"Yes, I'm working as a comic plot editor in Mengguo, how about you, Sister Hong?"

Lin Lihong poured him a cup of oolong tea: "I'm in the Huaguo branch of the House of Harvest."

Hearing about this company, Luo Xuan looked surprised: "House of Abundance? Does this subsidiary still have business here?"

"Who said there is no such thing? Although we have not obtained market access to physical stores, we still have an overseas online store department, which can directly connect to the entire Far East region." Lin Lihong explained.

Luo Xuan took a sip of oolong tea: "Then we can purchase products from the House of Harvest through overseas shopping?"

Lin Lihong nodded: "Yes! Yes! And the price will be much cheaper if you use the employee account to purchase. Our company has an exclusive cooperation with SF Express, and all online shopping products here go through SF Express."

In fact, Fengraojia not only cooperates with SF Express for overseas purchases, but also establishes a large number of agricultural product purchase centers throughout the Far East.

These agricultural product acquisition centers are all built around local characteristic agricultural products. After purchasing these agricultural products, they will be packaged and sold to Homo sapiens's homeland after packaging and processing.

And these agricultural products have a characteristic, that is, they are required to obtain the organic certification of Homo sapiens.

This organic certification is not something you can buy with money, but the Agriculture Department of Homo sapiens has a dedicated organic agriculture department, and a special organic certification office under it, which is responsible for this matter.

Every farm and plantation that has obtained Homo sapiens organic certification will conduct spot checks from time to time to ensure that their products meet the standards. If they fail to meet the standards, they will be warned or even directly revoked the certification.

In this way, Homo sapiens has reached out to various agricultural production areas.

For the sake of gold and dollar foreign exchange, some regions can only make compromises.

In fact, Homo sapiens can produce these agricultural products by itself, but doing so is not conducive to the influence of Homo sapiens to other regions.

It is a strategy to make various regions dependent on Homo sapiens companies.

Of course, supporting the local industry does not mean Homo sapiens completely abandons the industry itself. On the contrary, Homo sapiens will pay more attention to protecting its own industrial chain.

For example, a large number of organic farms and plantations are supported in the Far East, with the purpose that farmers here tend to grow cash crops instead of food.

Homo Sapiens' sinister intentions are almost an overt conspiracy.

As long as the region needs gold and dollar foreign exchange, it will have to compromise on the industry.

The so-called organic agriculture is to produce agricultural products in a semi-natural way, which means that the unit output will be relatively small, and a large amount of organic fertilizers will be used. Homo sapiens is now the world's largest organic fertilizer producer.

The interlocking means will continue to deepen the influence of Homo sapiens in various fields.

A large number of agricultural product acquisition centers established by Harvest House in the Far East require farms and plantations to have organic certification.

In order to obtain gold and yuan foreign exchange, many capital forces have stepped down one after another and engaged in organic agriculture in various agricultural areas.

Although there is no way to buy land and farmland, Homo sapiens has a way. Using gold and yuan foreign exchange to induce farmers to grow cash crops is an important means.

For example, in South Asia at this time, Homo sapiens cooperated with those big farmers to induce them to plant various economic crops, and at the same time dumped grain at low prices to Tianzhu, thereby suppressing the scale of grain planting in Tianzhu, and making the food gap in Tianzhu bigger and bigger. , increasingly dependent on Homo sapiens companies.

Could it be that Bodhidharma and other Tianzhu elites couldn't see this kind of behavior?

No!They know it all.

But they are powerless to resist, because the food gap in Tianzhu will only increase in the future. To ensure food self-sufficiency, they can only give up planting cash crops.

There is only one way for farmers to give up planting cash crops and switch to food crops, and that is to issue large subsidies.

The question is, is Tianzhu capable of distributing large subsidies?

The answer is obvious.

The Homo sapiens company can use gold dollars to subsidize farmers for planting cash crops, that is because the Homo sapiens company is rich and powerful.

Tianzhu wants industry but not industry, wants minerals but not minerals, needs technology but not technology, and because of the large population in agriculture, it is difficult to be self-sufficient in food.

What did Bodhidharma fight Homo sapiens?By willpower?

This is the Achilles heel of areas with large populations and backward economies. As long as food cannot be self-sufficient and economic development is needed, they can only compromise with Homo sapiens.

Chapter 3 No matter how noble the soul is, it cannot escape the vulgar eating and drinking

While Luo Xuan and the others were chatting, the remaining two colleagues also arrived.

And the food stalls are also serving food.

As a new human, Huang Xianjun understands that alcohol is very harmful to the brain. In the precepts of the new human, there is a special clause strictly prohibiting drinking at parties.

Although they can order alcoholic drinks by themselves, the new human beings are very self-conscious, and they will not order alcoholic drinks at dinner parties.

"Old Huang, do you want to drink?" Liu Mingzhi asked.

Huang Xianjun reminded: "You have to order your own drinks. If something happens to you while drinking, I will not be responsible."

Hearing this, Liu Mingzhi quickly waved his hands: "Forget it, let's drink Coke!"

He obviously recalled the company's death policy, that is, if there is an accident caused by drinking, the company will not reimburse the medical expenses, nor will it give any compensation to the drinking employees. Persuading people to drink is even more severely punished.

"Come and taste this conger eel." Huang Xianjun picked up a large piece of eel meat.

Luo Xuan picked up another piece of eel meat.

Everyone started cooking.

After they were seven to eighty percent full, everyone slowed down and started chatting.

Liu Mingzhi picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth: "Old Huang, you should be able to apply to the headquarters, right?"
