Him and their stars.

Chapter 257 The Worker Leader of the Red Maple Forest
With a height of [-] meters, Babaru is not only the tallest among the Lumina people, but also a very rare strong man among the Lumina people. His torso and four arms are more than one and a half times that of ordinary people of the same race.Therefore, he does not look like a big praying mantis walking upright, but like a beetle walking upright, he looks very courageous.Coupled with an oval head with a shiny black carapace, it looks like a human being.If it is in an adventure novel of the classical era, this image is enough to be a boss.

...and indeed it is.A few years ago, there was a film crew from the solar system who said they came to the Far Shore Nebula to film an MV. The director immediately fell in love with Babaru, and insisted on dragging him back to Earth, crying.The director pinching the orchid finger said that as long as Babaru goes to Earth, he will definitely become a classic villain on the screen in a few years, and even a classic tough guy image.

You know, in this aesthetically diverse universe, this kind of sharp, hard, and insect-like appearance is actually very popular in entertainment works.

This is much more than the dead wages he earned in Fengcheng and Hongfeng Factory!

Babaru was very moved, and then rejected the director without hesitation.It's not because Mr. Director is clearly an old man, but he always pinches his fingers and speaks in a soft voice. He doesn't like it, but because he really doesn't want to leave his hometown.

"If you leave your hometown at this time, don't you become a coward who runs away?" Babalu said.

"I think you are putting too much pressure on yourself!" His good friend, one of the youngest engineers in the factory, Busca said: "If you really leave, everyone will actually bless you. "

maybe!But even with the blessings of hundreds of thousands of people in the city, I can't just walk away.

Babaru smiled wryly and shook his head—of course, the facial nerves of the Lumina people cannot make such an expression, but the friend still felt the emotion of the other party.

If you keep carrying this emotion, it will not be so good when you talk about business.Still gotta make this guy happy.Ever since, Busca gave Babaru a big food plate, which was today's breakfast.

Everyone is a carbon-based mammal that walks on its own—yes, although the Lumina looks like a giant praying mantis, they are really mammals—so the carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins that need to be ingested are the same.

However, the tongues of humans and Luminas are different after all, and the cognition of taste is of course also different.The favorite condiment of the Lumina people is the black thatch from the local planet, but humans feel that it is darker than the fried croton with coptis.

However, Busca still made a delicious breakfast for Babaru, in the eyes of the people of Lumina.

"Busca, if you are a Lumina, I will definitely marry you!" Babaru was very moved.

"I'm a man!" Busca said loudly.This is actually a young man from the earth with a medium build, dark skin, strong muscles, and a strong temperament.

"Sorry, I can't tell the difference." Babaru grinned, and then swallowed the black spear grass and sweet potato bibimbap. After eating a few big mouthfuls, a boiled moa egg rolled out from under the meal.

This thing is bigger than a goose egg. Although it is a bit fishy and has a rough taste, it is also a rare protein supplement for everyone.

"This one……"

"Uncle Xia Shake from Dongcheng took people into the mountains the day before yesterday and dug out a bird's nest. It's specially used for your body."

"Busca, you know the rules." Babalu's face sank, but he looked at his friend Baba's eyes, and after all, he didn't blame him. Instead, he picked up the moa eggs, washed them, and put them in a clean room. In the plate.

"In a while, send it to the kindergarten."

"Send it early! The meat and eggs brought by Uncle Shashak have been sent to kindergartens and schools. These are saved by the children for you."

Babaru looked at Busca next to him, and saw that the latter was just waiting for the boiled egg, and his throat seemed to twitch.He didn't hesitate anymore, picked up the moa egg and stuffed it into the opponent's mouth.

Hambuska, a man with a strong body, was still powerless in front of Babaru, who was [-] meters tall and walked upright like a longhorn.In this way, he was fed a mouthful of moa eggs, stuffed until tears came out, and it took him a long time to swallow them.

"I ate it last week!" said Babaru.

Busca couldn't speak for a while, but just gestured his middle finger to his friend without saying a word.

After eating, the two went to the reception room of the Red Maple Factory.The luxurious office that originally belonged to the boss, the workers did not move, so they cleaned up an activity room in the office building, directly built some furniture by themselves, and put it in, temporarily as a reception.

Compared with those reception rooms decorated with modern furniture and decoration, this place looks a bit rustic.

Representatives of the Lumina tribe from the Great Lakes in the South and the Great Plains in the East did not have much reaction.On the contrary, for these traditional Lumina people who still retain the slash-and-burn lifestyle, all the scenes in Fengcheng and Hongfengchang are Western scenes, and I am very happy to see them every time I come.

As for the military representative from the Suppression General Headquarters, a lieutenant officer in his forties, the soldier did not deliberately hide his haughty expression.

Babaru saw the performance of all of them, but he didn't care, and got straight to the point.

"How much food can you send this time?" he asked the representative of the Eastern Plains.

This is a strong Lumina man with a maroon carapace, an iron armor and a cloak.

He didn't seem to be good at words, he directly stretched out three hands to Babaru, showing ten fingers.Lumina people have four fingers on each hand, but this man is obviously a storyteller. One finger is missing on each of two hands, and it looks like it was cut off by a sharp weapon.

"What do you want to change?"

"The shovel and hammer I changed last time, this time I need [-] sets each!"

Babaru felt the deal was acceptable.In this way, the basic rations of the whole city can be guaranteed for the next month.

"What about you?" He looked at the representative of the Great Lakes in the South again.

"Five ships!" said the relatively short Lumina representative.He has a lake-blue carapace, a stylish overcoat, and precious metal ornaments on his wrists and neck.

Babaru was also very satisfied.In this way, he can organize the women workers in the city to get everyone winter clothes.

"The water pump we bought last time broke!" said the southerner.

"I'll send the engineer over to check it out for you."

"Let me take someone on a trip." Busca, who was listening, said, "It can definitely be repaired."

The southerner said again: "In addition, you need a set of that kind of water pump. Also, at least three ships' steel bars must be filled!"

Babalu thought for a while: "I can only give you two for the time being, and the remaining one will take next month."

The other party also thought about it and found it acceptable.

Ever since, the transaction belonging to the Lumina people is considered complete.

It sounds like it went very smoothly, but in fact, if Babaru was not present, these representatives of the Lumina tribe would not be easy to dismiss at all.The worker leader in Maple City also has a considerable reputation among the major tribes of the Lumina people.His strong courage is naturally one aspect, and more importantly is his generous and fair style of doing things.

The so-called "Fair Babaru" is also a well-known name on this green planet.

This is probably one of the reasons why Babaru feels that his hometown cannot be separated from him.

Then, there was the issue between the Red Maple Factory and the military representatives.

"The front encirclement has been completed, and a general offensive is about to be launched! So we need support from the rear! I will make a list for you later." The army representative said.

He paused for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, we all know the difficulties in the factory, so they are all parts that can be produced now!"

"Aren't the military supplies ahead sent from New Seville?" Busca frowned.

"This is also for the good of everyone!" The army representative said in a high-sounding tone. Seeing that Babalu and Busca were a little puzzled, he said in a tone of hatred: "Who are we attacking? Rumi Lumina rebels! In this factory and in this city, more than [-]% of the Lumina people! With your support, isn’t it better to show your attitude towards this matter? You don’t have to worry about criticism from the outside world in the future gone."

The irritable Busca got angry and stood up as if to scold, but Babaru, who looked more fierce, calmly held down his friend, and said solemnly: "Okay, then when will you pay?" What about the deposit?"

"Deposit?" The other party was startled, and then became angry: "This is enlistment! Do you understand enlistment? Have you learned this word? Follow me, enlist, enlist..."

"I understand. But, sir, if you want to recruit, don't you need a warrant from the military department? At the very least, there is at least a notice from the command of the Far Coast Military Region! But I don't have anything."

"The Red Maple Factory is a military property! Do you understand that the military situation is urgent? All the factories, equipment, resources, and even you are the property of the army! In an emergency, you must obey the orders of the local theater headquarters!"

"But the Red Maple Factory has been restructured!" Babaru said, "The military and the local government only own [-]%. The remaining [-]% is owned by private investors and all workers."

"Nonsense, how can there be all workers?"

"At least that's what the old minister promised, and there is also a contract."

It was just a so-called "gentleman's agreement" written on a stone slab, which had no legal effect.The military representative really wanted to say that, but this was indeed the historical evidence left by the founding martyrs, and he really didn't dare to open his mouth indiscriminately.

"In the absence of private investors, the entire factory is organized by the workers themselves." Babaru thought for a while, and then said: "Also, the Red Maple Factory does have a small parts production line now, but it is all our workers. I worked it out myself in the past few years. In theory, it does not belong to the original Hongfeng Factory, but belongs to everyone's property... So, you have to follow the market!"

"No, no, you're wrong! That's not how accounts are calculated." The representative of the lieutenant's rank showed a friendly smile, scratched his fingers, and rubbed them little by little, as if he had been in the financial department all his life. An old accountant who can't pass the CPA exam.

The two sides talked for half an hour, but there was no decisive progress.

The lieutenant said it was for the front line, for victory, and for the long-term stability of the entire Lumina.Babaru said that you have to give a little no matter what, this is for the livelihood of the whole city.

Obviously, no matter how friendly Mr. Military Representative's attitude is now, his bottom line has long been clear - no money, no penny.

"I will come again!" said the military representative.

"How many times have you come to this result, you need to pay a deposit!" Babaru said.

"I will bring someone here!" The military representative said again, his tone seemed less friendly.

"This is the result of how many people you brought in, I am responsible for everyone in the whole factory!" Babaru did not back down.

Ever since, everyone can only break up unhappy.

Afterwards, Busca was a little worried, so he discussed: "I can lead everyone to work overtime, and I can still get those things out of work!"

But Babalu shook his head: "If he pays, I will work overtime with you!"

He was actually a little worried, but he was very happy when he thought that two of today's three deals would be completed, and everyone would have food reserves and winter clothing for next month.After sending Busca away, he changed into his overalls and got ready to go to work.

Babaru is now the leader of the workers in the factory, but he has always thought that this is just a part-time job, and his real job is actually the monitor of the third class of miners.

Just as he walked out of his office, he was stopped again.

"Another visitor? Over at Warehouse No. 3? Smugglers? Arms resellers? Fugitives?"

"Yes, yes...it seems to be Brother Kermer!" The other party said cautiously.

Babalu was startled for a moment, and then gave the other party a vicious look, which made the other party want to hide in the corner and never come out again.Immediately afterwards, the young worker leader also had a distressed expression on his face, which was a bit more distressed than when he was dealing with the army representative just now.
