Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

"of course can."

He summoned the head of the caravan.

In front of the General Affairs Department staff, Hideo Yamagami explained to him what he needed.

"Hmm..." he hesitated, drawing out his words.

"Blast furnaces are fine; they're quite common for creating hot springs. It's just that the scientific equipment at the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences..."

"Is there any inconvenience? I remember that the Fontaine Academy of Sciences has quite a few items that are allowed to be sold to the public, right? It's not like what we want happens to be not among them, is it?"

Hideo Yamagami said in a half-joking tone.

"No, it's not that. Rather... this is the first time I've heard of someone wanting to buy equipment from the Fontaine Science Academy and transport it out of Fontaine."

As is widely known, Fontaine's mechanical equipment will malfunction once it leaves Fontaine's territory.

"No need for you to worry about that. We just want to confirm that you can complete this trade, right?"

The caravan leader looked at Hideo Yamagami with some difficulty, then at the general affairs officers and the others.

“Originally, our caravan didn’t have extra transport capacity, but out of respect for the officials in the General Affairs Department, I’ll try to find a solution. However, Mora…”

"Please rest assured, Mr. Shanshang is a distinguished guest of Lord Tianquan Ningguang. The bill can be sent to Qunyu Pavilion."

Under Hideo Yamagami's surprised gaze, the general affairs officers quickly agreed.

Chapter 60 The grass is curled up.jpg

The bustling scene in Liyue Harbor shows no signs of fading over time.

On the contrary, it has only gotten worse.

It's not a derogatory term, but a compliment.

The Seven Stars set off for the Abyss of Layered Rocks, a collective effort determined to resolve the problem of filth.

This trip will take nearly two months.

For those who support Qixing, this period is the time for them to implement the various preferential policies in accordance with the contract.

They've calculated exactly how much to invest, how much to generate, and what activities offer the best cost-effectiveness.

They've also discussed things with each other.

It seems Ningguang had some inside information and had made plans long ago.

They just need to follow the steps.

When the time is up, they can sit in a row and share the fruit.

But for those who are willing to put up a fight, they're just muggle.

The main force they were fighting against was gone.

They exerted pressure in Liyue Harbor for half a day, and the other party turned around and ran to the Laminaria.

They didn't even bother with the bird.

By the time Qixing returned, it was almost time to leave!

By then, it will be too late for them to do anything they want.

The situation they are facing now is that they have fallen behind others.

Either persist in applying pressure and go all the way down this path, betting that Seven Stars will change his mind at the last minute.

The probability is so low that it's almost nonexistent.

They either have to compromise, which means not only joining the competition, hiring more employees, and improving their salaries, but also doing better than the other companies in order to make up for the previous lag.

There is a third option: to make a big move that forces the Seven Stars to take their demands seriously and compromise with them.

However, it's not a life-or-death situation, so if they dare to do this, they'll face repercussions later.

It's not worth doing this at all.

So in reality, they only have the first two options to choose from:

One is to go down a path to the bitter end, refusing to turn back until one hits a wall.

Secondly, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but there is always a shore to return to; if you can't beat them, join them.

These people decisively chose the latter.

The reason, besides their current belief that the former's chances are slim, is more importantly that almost all of their men have deserted!

They all want to go to places with better pay!

Apart from some long-term employees with contracts, those with more flexible contracts, temporary workers with vague verbal agreements, or those paid on a per-job basis, all ran away!

How does this work?

Without these large numbers of flexible and temporary workers, how can they continue to operate?

Even the long-time employees have recently lost interest in their work and are restless.

Indeed, seeing one's colleagues and old friends celebrating raises and spending lavishly while one's own salary remains stagnant, who can bear such a psychological gap?

Good or bad is always relative.

On the one hand, many grassroots employees are leaving, and on the other hand, veteran employees are not motivated to work.

On the other hand, there are also their own competitors eyeing them covetously, just waiting for them to develop to the point of being unable to operate so they can rush up and bite them.

So they promptly knelt down.

It's just a discount, right? I'll take it!

Not only am I following along, I'm going to drag you all down with me!

I want to recover all the progress I lost!

These chambers of commerce, which initially remained unmoved, have now announced that they will follow suit with salary increases and improvements to employee benefits.

People have discovered that the chambers of commerce that initially took no action are now exerting even greater influence than those that did at the beginning.

If the first batch of employees received a reduction in their wages from brown rice and rotten vegetables to refined rice and green vegetables, then the next batch would receive meat added to their meals.

The first batch of supervisors went from verbally abusing and hitting their employees to communicating normally. The second batch, on the other hand, spoke softly and gently, and even showed concern for their well-being.

This once made their workers feel flattered and overwhelmed.

Good heavens! How come this skin-deep boss is suddenly more concerned about them than their own mothers?

The second batch of new hires has also significantly increased their efforts to improve employee salaries and benefits.

Although they didn't directly raise salaries, they maximized bonuses and subsidies.

The overall salary increase directly surpassed that of the first batch.

They are even far ahead.

The first few companies to start offering discounts: ?

This time it's the Muggles' turn.

Seriously, officer? You can even steal this?

"Betrayal, this is a shameful betrayal!"

During this emergency meeting to address the threat posed by the rising star, one of the men slammed his fist on the table and angrily shouted insults.

They never expected that these companies would pull such a stunt.

They didn't care anyway; since these companies chose to fight back, let them be.

They'll seize the initiative then, and those of you who don't act will have to obediently wait in line.

If you really put up a stubborn resistance, that's even better. You can just stick to your basic share and we'll happily accept the extras.

As for the problems caused by the relative decline in the treatment of these people's chamber of commerce employees, they would not mind helping to resolve them.

Ok.

As for how to solve it, that's another matter.

To their surprise, these people, despite being at a disadvantage due to their late start, actually used excessive concessions to stop the employee turnover problem, resulting in heavy losses for both sides, and even directly overtook them in the rankings.

"How dare they? Huh? How dare he?!"

Even if you want to solve the employee turnover problem, why don't you just move up to our level? Why do you need to surpass us by such a large margin?

Why don't you follow the pace of everyone else?

"This is a betrayal of the great merchants of Liyue! They have failed in their duty as great merchants!"

The speaker was spitting as he denounced these uncivilized officials.

"Stop cursing, stop cursing. Even if you curse him from night to day, and then from day to night, can you curse him to death? Or can you curse back the decisions he made?"

The person next to him leaned back in his chair and waved his hand weakly.

"Wake up, the die is cast, the die is cast."

He was also mentally exhausted.

Everyone had already planned and found the most cost-effective solution, but you came along and messed everything up.

He was certain that the current group's proposed plan would be inferior to theirs in terms of return on investment.

He didn't know whether they would profit more or less than those who honestly lagged behind.

The specific data is also confidential to these companies, and there's also the factor of influence, which is difficult to quantify.

"So what do we do now? How should we deal with this?"

The other person raised their own question.
