I handed over to another world

Chapter 719: Changes in the Border

Chen Lin stood on the high-level platform of the Red Dragon Association on the Xiguang side, overlooking the bustling crowd below. Those people were desperate to squeeze in - the reason was very simple. The Red Dragon Association was already the most powerful and richest association in the world. For their stagnant and poor life, as long as they could enter the Red Dragon Association, everything would be fine.

Ever since the Red Dragon Association officially announced its entry into the interstellar age, the problem of illegal immigration on the Origin Star has come like a tide.

Countless people flocked from all corners of the earth, trying to squeeze into this new world that symbolizes the future of mankind.

"Vice President, this is the latest data for today."

Secretary Zhao handed a holographic report to Chen Lin and said with a frown, "According to our statistics, the number of illegal immigrants has exceeded one million this week alone, and is still increasing."

"Although we have already made it clear at the Alliance Association on Earth that we will no longer provide any support or official status to these immigrants, these people are still rushing to our side like crazy..."

Chen Lin took the report and quickly glanced through it.

The data is shocking - the number of illegal immigrants is not only huge, but also growing exponentially.

Although the resources of the Origin Star are abundant, it cannot accommodate such a large influx of population indefinitely.

What's worse, there are many speculators and criminals among these immigrants, which leads to increasingly serious security problems in the association.

"Does President Zhang have any instructions?"

Chen Lin rubbed his temples, trying to relieve the headaches he had been having for days - the medical cabin couldn't even detect what serious problem he had. So there was only one possibility, and that was that Chen Lin's current headache was purely due to the fatigue of thinking about things.

"President Zhang said that this matter is entirely in your hands."

Secretary Zhao whispered, “He thinks you are the one who knows the situation best and the most suitable candidate.”

Chen Lin smiled bitterly. He knew that President Zhang was giving him a chance and testing him at the same time.

If he can solve this problem properly, his position in the association will be more solid.

But at the same time, this also basically represents the attitude of President Zhang - he is actually clear about Chen Lin's attitude towards these immigrants, and handing over the matter to Chen Lin is actually tacitly agreeing that everything will go according to Chen Lin's ideas.

"Notify all senior executives in Xiguang and hold an emergency meeting."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Chen Lin gave an order to Secretary Zhao, "Also, have the public security department increase patrols to ensure that the border area is not affected. I don't want to hear that criminal problems will arise because of these people entering."

"clear."

Secretary Zhao quickly left to make arrangements, while Chen Lin looked at the dark crowd in the distance below and sighed silently.

He had already thought about the possibility of such a problem, but he was too busy to take care of it at that time. When he was really needed to solve these problems, he realized how difficult it was to solve them.

……

In the conference room, the top leaders of the Red Dragon Association from Xiguang gathered together.

Chen Lin stood in front of the screen with a serious expression. After everyone was present and took their seats, Chen Lin turned around and glanced at them.

"Now that everyone is here, let me go into detail about the main things we need to do next."

"Everyone is aware of the current situation."

He got straight to the point and said, "The illegal immigration problem has seriously threatened the stability of the Xiguang area, and not just this area, but also the Dongguang area. If we don't take decisive measures, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Vice President Chen, what is your suggestion?"

A senior member asked Chen Lin, "There are too many people here. We are still implementing the previous border policy, which is really beyond our ability."

Chen Lin nodded slightly, his eyes swept over everyone present, and his tone was calm and firm: "My suggestion is to fully introduce an AI review system, strictly control personnel access, and strictly limit the number of people entering the Origin Star each year, and only absorb the elite talents among them."

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, obviously not surprised by this proposal.

A senior member couldn't help asking: "Introducing an AI review system? Will this cause a greater backlash? After all, these people are already living a difficult life in their original environment on Earth. If we raise the threshold again, I'm afraid it will cause greater dissatisfaction."

Chen Lin responded calmly: "The immigration issue is indeed complicated, but we must be clear about one thing - the origin star is not a refuge, but a bridgehead for mankind to move towards interstellar civilization."

"The original area of ​​the Red Dragon Association was originally restricted from entry. Our previous policy was to allow some outsiders to enter, but the prerequisite was that they must contribute to the development of the Red Dragon Association and not become a burden."

He paused and continued, "Currently, immigrants mainly come from various regions in Southeast Asia. They try to enter the Red Dragon Association through illegal means, or even directly enter the Origin Star. But we must stick to the principle - the Origin Star only allows official members of the Red Dragon Association and a very small number of external association members to enter."

"This is to ensure that the resources of the Origin Star can be focused on our core goals: technological development and interstellar exploration."

A senior member frowned and said, "But if we completely block immigration, will it cause greater social conflicts? After all, resources on Earth are already extremely scarce, and these people are desperate and choose to take risks."

Chen Lin nodded: "I understand your concerns, but our resources are limited. If we leave it alone, the order of the Red Dragon Association will soon collapse, so I suggest taking the following measures."

“First, we will fully introduce an AI review system to strictly screen all applicants for entry to the Origin Star. Only elite talents who pass the review will be granted temporary residency.”

"Second, cooperate with the Alliance Association on Earth to set up multiple review centers so that people who intend to immigrate can apply and be screened in advance. Only those who pass the preliminary review will be eligible to enter the final review stage on the Origin Star."

"Third, we will conduct a comprehensive screening of illegal immigrants who have entered the association's territory or even the origin star. Those who meet the requirements can apply for temporary residence, but they must undergo strict supervision and assessment. Those who do not meet the requirements will be deported back to Earth."

……

There was silence in the meeting room as everyone weighed the pros and cons.

"Vice President Chen's suggestion is very pertinent. We can no longer sit idly by. I agree to start the AI ​​review system and strictly control the number of immigrants each year."

"I agree with that."

"The problem at the border can't be delayed any longer, it must be dealt with quickly!"

"We have to take strong measures..." Chen Lin glanced at everyone and announced a show of hands. Soon everyone agreed, and he smiled and said, "In fact, this is also what President Zhang meant. For this kind of problem, I will announce next..."

A few days later, the Red Dragon Association officially announced a new immigration policy - both the Origin Star and Earth will fully introduce an AI review system, strictly control personnel access, and only absorb a very small number of elite talents each year.

At the same time, all kinds of detailed rules were announced, and the relevant restrictions at border ports became stricter instantly. Once this policy was announced, it immediately caused huge controversy.

People from all over Southeast Asia expressed their dissatisfaction, believing that the Red Dragon Association's practices were too harsh. However, Chen Lin remained unshakable. He knew that this was the only way to ensure the continued sustainable development of the entire association.

"Vice President, the review center has received a large number of applications."

Secretary Zhao reported, “The AI ​​system is operating at full capacity, and the first batch of review results are expected to be announced next week.”

Chen Lin nodded: "Yes, our goal is to screen out talents with real ability and potential, rather than quantity first."

"We already have a sufficient population and do not need to rely on external immigration to increase our strength."

"clear."

Secretary Zhao left quickly to carry out the order.

Chen Lin stood in front of the holographic projection, watching the spokesperson of the White Elephant Association giving an impassioned speech on the global news platform.

The politician, dressed in traditional attire with a giant white elephant totem floating behind him, spoke in a loud and angry voice.

"The Red Dragon Association's new immigration policy is a serious violation of human rights!"

The spokesperson waved his arms, and the holographic projection kept flashing images of the Red Dragon Association's border and the desperate faces of the immigrants who were turned away. "We demand that the Red Dragon Association immediately revoke these strict review standards and grant equal immigration rights to all Earth citizens!"

Chen Lin sneered and swiped his finger lightly, calling up the data stream within the White Elephant Association. On the holographic screen, densely packed data charts showed the White Elephant Association's explosive population growth in recent years, the speed of resource depletion, and the various poor imitations of scientific research achievements they had secretly carried out.

Among all the dimension constructors sold before, the association that tried to brute force the most times was the White Elephant Association.

After Chen Lin took the position of vice president, he basically understood what the White Elephant Association had done. After seeing this, a smile appeared on his face.

“How can they really care about the rights of immigrants?”

He said to Secretary Zhao beside him, "They just want to grab more resources and technology from us by exerting pressure."

Secretary Zhao nodded and pulled up the White Elephant Association's latest list of demands: "They require us to fully open up the use of the space elevator and share many interstellar technologies, including the manufacture of starships, space elevators, and a large number of scientific and technological manufacturing technologies... and require them to provide them with at least one million tons of synthetic food and clean water resources every year."

Chen Lin glanced at the list, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "What a huge demand! Do they think we are all suckers?"

Chen Lin stood in front of the holographic projection, watching the performance of the White Elephant Association spokesperson with a stern gaze.

He knew that this war of public opinion was not only about immigration policy, but also about the status and future of the Red Dragon Association on the global stage.

The White Elephant Association's intentions are clear - they are trying to use moral kidnapping and international pressure to force the Red Dragon Association to make concessions, so as to obtain the technology and resources they have always dreamed of.

Chen Lin stood in front of the holographic projection, his lips slightly raised and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the White Elephant Association's exorbitant demands were nothing more than a poor performance, and the Red Dragon Association already had enough chips to fight back.

He turned to Secretary Zhao and said, "You don't need me to teach you how to fight back, right? Let the department in charge of this matter take action. Let the White Elephant Association experience the backlash of public opinion."

Secretary Zhao nodded quickly and began to carry out the order.

The Red Dragon Association's propaganda machine was quietly activated, and explosive news about the White Elephant Association's internal conflicts began to spread rapidly on major media platforms, social networks, and holographic news channels around the world.

The first thing to be exposed was the scandal of high-level corruption within the White Elephant Association.

In the holographic projection, detailed financial data and internal documents were made public, clearly showing how the top executives of the White Elephant Association misappropriated public resources, embezzled huge amounts of funds, and even used resources originally intended to improve people's livelihood for personal enjoyment.

Not only are these evidences detailed, but they also come with audio and video recordings of high-level personnel, providing irrefutable proof.

Soon after, the Red Dragon Association’s public opinion team exposed the White Elephant Association’s scandal in the field of scientific research.

On the holographic screen, the so-called "independently developed" scientific and technological projects of the White Elephant Association were exposed one by one. Most of these projects were obtained by stealing the technological achievements of the Red Dragon Association and other associations, and after slight modifications, they were claimed to be their own "major breakthroughs."

What is even more ironic is that most of the White Elephant Association’s scientific research funds are used for fake projects and face-saving projects, while truly promising research is shelved.

The most fatal blow was that the Red Dragon Association exposed the social contradictions within the White Elephant Association.

In the holographic projection, the living conditions of the lower-class people of the White Elephant Association were nakedly displayed to the world - crowded shanties in the slums, hungry children, violent conflicts caused by lack of resources... These scenes formed a sharp contrast with the luxurious life of the top leaders of the White Elephant Association.

The Red Dragon Association's media team also interviewed a number of grassroots members of the White Elephant Association. They angrily accused the top leaders of inaction and corruption, and some even said bluntly: "The White Elephant Association doesn't care about us at all. They only care about their own interests!"

These news were like bombs, causing uproar around the world.

Spokespersons for the White Elephant Association tried to defend themselves, but their voices were soon drowned out by the tide of public opinion. Major media outlets around the world pointed the finger at the White Elephant Association, accusing them of not only failing to resolve internal problems, but also trying to divert conflicts through moral kidnapping. Even some international organizations that originally supported the White Elephant Association began to turn against it and publicly criticized the White Elephant Association's behavior.

The internal conflicts of the White Elephant Association were also completely detonated, the dissatisfaction of the grassroots people spread rapidly, and large-scale protests broke out in many cities.

The protesters held high banners, demanding the resignation of the top leaders and thorough reforms. This put the top leaders of the White Elephant Association into an unprecedented crisis. They tried to suppress the protests by force, but this only intensified the conflict and the situation got completely out of control.

...Until this point, who still cares about the White Elephant Association standing up and vowing to speak for them? Who still remembers that they had united to denounce the Red Dragon Association for tightening border policies?

Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh. The White Eagle Association used to use similar tactics frequently in the past. Every time, the Red Dragon Association had to take over passively and suffer losses every time.

Now that the Red Dragon Association is playing by themselves, I suddenly feel that this method is really easy. (End of this chapter)
