Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Chapter 489 National Blood Donation
Siam, Manchester City.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the streets were bustling with people and cars.

There is no sign that this place has ever experienced war or siege.

Fortunately, due to the restraint of the JECCO Group, the war did not spread to the largest city in Indochina, so it remained prosperous and bustling.

The biggest difference between Manchester City and the past is that there is a military camp of the Jake Group not far outside the city. Due to the evacuation of a large number of electronic processing factories in Europe and the United States, the electronic processing factory buildings have been transformed into insect nests, where a large number of poisonous insects and snakes are bred. Many Siamese people have joined the Jake Group to breed insects for a living, and the business is in full swing.

Xu Changming was walking on the streets of Manchester with several of his graduate students. At the age of 47, he is already a professor at the Department of International Relations, College of Social Sciences, at a well-known university in China. He can be considered a young and promising man.

This time I came to Siam to study the Jeko Group.

After the Jeko Group forced the four Siamese countries to sign the Treaty of Manchester and became the undisputed overlord of Indochina.

Research on the JEC Group and how to better deal with this country disguised as a company has become a key research focus for many countries.

Everything about the Jeko Group, including its economy, international relations, geopolitics, mecha hegemony, genetics and medicine, has become a hot research topic in universities.

In order to study the JEC Group, Xu Changming came to Siam Manchester City for field research.

"There are many more blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners and Chinese people in the city."

Lin Lingling followed her mentor Xu Changming and found that there were many more foreign tourists in Manchester City today, including a large number of Chinese tourists.

"You should do more research. Today is the opening day of Manchester Nightmare Park, which has attracted many domestic and foreign tourists to experience it."

Xu Changming said that he saw the news yesterday that the Jeko Group opened several Nightmare Park branches in five countries in the Indochina Peninsula at once. This kind of immersive haunted house is extremely attractive, especially to young people.

What's more, there are generous rewards for successfully passing the haunted house in Nightmare Park, although not many people can get them.

"Manchester City also has a nightmare playground!"

Lin Lingling's eyes lit up and she was eager to try. When she was conducting research in Mander City, Zen Country, the movie "The Wedding Dress" was in theaters at that time, so she went to the Nightmare Park in Mander City for fun. However, she was a novice and a playful person, and was always scared by those realistic ghosts, but she never got tired of it.

"You can go and have fun on your own after we rest. I'm too old to handle that kind of excitement."

Xu Changming was smiling and talking as the group turned a street and unexpectedly saw a square where a number of buses with the Red Cross logo were parked.

Doctors and nurses are busy, and a large number of people are queuing up to donate blood.

"There are so many blood donation vehicles. Is the hospital short of blood?"

Lin Lingling said curiously, there were at least fifty or sixty blood donation vehicles in front of them, occupying a large open space in the square. Thousands of people lined up around them, talking and chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was very lively.

"Let's go over and take a look. Let's split up and investigate to see what's going on."

Xu Changming immediately became interested and walked over with his graduate students, asking them to conduct research separately.

"Handsome guy, what are you doing? Why are you all here to donate blood for free?"

Lin Lingling took advantage of her beauty and sweet voice, found a boy, and asked in fairly fluent Siamese.

Seeing the beautiful Miss Lin Lingling, the boy immediately perked up and said incessantly: "Hey, Miss, this is not free blood donation, this is called voluntary blood donation. The country has just issued a regulation that every citizen has the obligation to donate blood. The government requires everyone to donate blood at least twice a year. This regulation will be implemented in big cities first, and then gradually spread out. I received a text message notification and came here to donate blood. For this reason, my company also arranged three days of leave for me. This is also a regulation that must be implemented in place."

"Voluntary blood donation? Is that true?"

Lin Lingling was stunned for a moment. This was the first time in her life that she had heard of voluntary blood donation.

Siam is setting a precedent in the world by becoming the first country to require all its citizens to donate blood.

"How can this be false? This blood donation policy has just been implemented. You should not be Siamese. We have been making a lot of noise here for a long time. Not only Siam, but also countries in Indochina have to implement this blood donation policy."

Hearing this, Lin Lingling immediately understood that it was probably not Siam who wanted to donate blood on his own initiative, but the Jeko Group was manipulating it behind the scenes.

Only the JEC Group has the ability to make all countries in Indochina implement such an outrageous policy.

"Excuse me, the Siamese authorities asked you to come here to donate blood for free, and you just came here, and you are all so enthusiastic? Or is there any punishment for not doing it?"

Lin Lingling was puzzled by this. She wondered when did the Siamese citizens become so aware.

Things like blood donation are advocated every year, but the number of people who actually participate in donating is only a very small proportion of the population. Even hospitals often face blood shortages and lack blood in stock.

When people talk about how actively they are donating blood and showing their love, Lin Lingling doesn't believe it.

"This is not like the free blood donation in the past. We will reward those who donate blood voluntarily this time.

Participating in voluntary blood donation can reduce taxes, or choose to exchange for monetary rewards. The government now provides a subsidy of one dollar for one milliliter of blood. According to the current blood price, a donation of 400 milliliters of blood is 400 dollars. "

"What, donating blood can reduce taxes and exchange for money?"

Lin Lingling was stunned when she heard this. It turned out that there was such a thing going on.

"Not only that, donating blood can accumulate points. The more points you have, the more convenience and preferential treatment you can enjoy in many things, such as children's schooling, civil service examinations, loans, buying houses and cars, discounted fares for airplanes and trains, etc.

I donate blood not just for the money, but to get a job at the Jieke Group. I heard that donating blood is helpful for getting a job at the Jieke Group and you can get priority in admission."

The boy laughed foolishly and scratched his head embarrassedly.

The job benefits of the JECO Group are very generous, with higher salaries than those of the tech giants, full benefits, and easy work, with four days on and three days off, which is more attractive to young people than taking the civil service exam. In other words, for the people of Indochina, the existence of the JECO Group itself is more authoritative than the country itself.

Lin Lingling was very shocked. She didn't expect that blood donation could be tied to so many things. She had only heard of buying a school district house being tied to children's educational resources. The JEC Group was even more ruthless. It tied blood donation to so many things. It seemed like they were going to require everyone to donate blood!

In order to verify her hypothesis, Lin Lingling continued to investigate and inquire other blood donors.

"I am applying for a position at the Jieke Group. Everyone is here to donate blood. If I don't come, and I am eliminated because of not donating blood, then I will be at a huge loss."

"I recently planned to take out a loan to start a business. If I donate blood, the interest on the loan will be reduced a lot, so I came here."

"My child wants to apply to a good school, but the score is still a little short. Parents can get extra points by donating blood. I can't let my child lose at the starting line, so of course I will donate blood."

"I feel so bad that I have to pay so much tax every year just to get a tax cut. Now that I can finally get a tax cut, it's just asking me to donate blood. It's a great deal."

"Nothing else. I just got a girlfriend recently and my expenses are too high. I can earn a few hundred dollars by selling blood, which is equivalent to my monthly salary. Why shouldn't I come?"

Everyone has their own reasons for donating blood, but Lin Lingling discovered that most people came to donate blood for the cash given by the JEC Group.

This is the simplest and most direct inducement. The average salary in Siam is only more than 400 yuan. Donating blood once is equivalent to earning a month's salary for free. Most people will come. After all, they are only donating ml of blood, which will not harm the body.

When Lin Lingling arrived at the blood donation vehicle and witnessed the people who had completed their blood donation, staff members personally handed out the equivalent of US$400 in cash, as well as a bunch of grains, oils, rice, noodles and nutritional supplements, as well as a lottery ticket. The lottery ticket could be used to draw a variety of gifts, ranging from cheap handicrafts to electrical appliances, mobile phones and computers. The highest prize was a car.

Every time a prize is won, there will be a commotion. Even if the blood donors do not win the grand prize, they will leave with a smile, carrying large amounts of food, oil, supplements and cash, and they are in better spirits than before donating blood.

So when Lin Lingling left the square, she saw that the number of people queuing up had increased several times. It was unexpected that such a scene of people rushing to donate blood could still be seen here.

Lin Lingling couldn't help but sigh that the inducement of the Jeko Group was really effective. It made everyone have no aversion to donating blood. Instead, everyone was very active in donating blood, just like picking up money, and everyone was scrambling for it.

After meeting up with my supervisor Xu Changming, we shared the research results together.

After listening to the reports of all the graduate students, Xu Changming was surprised and said: "I don't know if the Jieke Group is researching some medical products or something related to genes. Once the entire Indochina Peninsula adopts this method to carry out voluntary blood donation, the amount of blood gathered will be huge, and the investment will also be huge.

There are 800 million people in Indochina. Excluding minors and the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled who do not donate blood, there are more than million people who can donate blood. If one person donates blood at least twice a year, the cost is $. Moreover, some people definitely donate more than twice. If we take into account the salaries of medical staff, the cost of medical equipment and blood storage, various tax cuts, loans, car and house purchases and other preferential terms, the additional costs will be very exaggerated. The annual expenditure will be at least $ billion, and this is still the lowest estimate. "

“One hundred and fifty billion dollars a year.”

Lin Lingling and others, who originally had no clear idea, all took a deep breath when they heard this number.

How exaggerated is this number? It is equivalent to the total annual R&D investment of the world's top ten technology giants and comparable to China's total annual military expenditure.

"My god, the JECO Group is so rich that they dare to make such an investment."

"It's no wonder that the Jieke Group is so rich and inhumane. They really make money by selling drugs. Forbes magazine has done statistics. Tianyuan Weight Loss Pills, Tianyuan Myopia Pills, and Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, these three products make Jieke Group 400 to 500 billion US dollars a year. Compared with the net profit of global technology giants such as Apple, it would take five or six Apple companies combined to equal the net profit of a company like Jieke Group."

"Su Jie is a Chinese. His ability to start from scratch is incredible."

For a moment, several graduate students were shocked by this huge asset. They were all top students of sociology and knew clearly how huge such an expense was.

"The Jieke Group is rich. The money they spend on selling blood will be distributed to the people. The money will circulate in society, increase private wealth, and increase social happiness. This will also invisibly increase the public support for the Jieke Group in Indochina. This courage is beyond imagination."

Xu Changming spoke with great interest in his heart, and said to Lin Lingling and other graduate students: "This time, our research topic for the Jieke Group will be the blood donation activity. Let's see what impact such a large blood donation plan will have on the entire Indochina Peninsula."

……

As the training of medical personnel for blood collection was prepared, blood donation vehicles drove onto the streets, and blood donation stations opened for business, fully promoting the blood donation policy. This activity was like a wave, sweeping across the entire Indochina Peninsula.

Tax cuts and cash rewards are like two axes that break down people's defenses, so that they no longer have any resistance to donating blood.

Various preferential terms brought about by blood donation are related to schooling, civil service exams, housing, cars, loans, and other basic necessities of life, which guarantee the enthusiasm of blood donors in all aspects. When everyone is donating blood, an internal competition is invisibly created, and those who do not donate blood have become a minority.

Especially in those poor areas, this blood donation activity has reached its climax. Every day, there are so many people queuing up to donate blood that they almost overturn the blood donation vehicle.

In the backward and poor areas of Indochina, the average wage per person is only over 100 US dollars per month, and the poor population accounts for a large proportion.

Nowadays, donating blood once is equivalent to their three months' salary. You can imagine how crazy it is.

They are so tired of being poor that they don't care whether donating blood will harm their bodies. They would like to sell thousands of milliliters at a time, fearing that such a good job will disappear someday.

By donating blood, they also indirectly obtained the benefits and welfare of the JECCO Group, and became more deeply bound to the JECCO Group.

Blood donation is ongoing. After collecting blood, the blood donation vehicles will take the blood back to the blood bank for storage, and then transport it to Mande City in Zen Kingdom. For a while, there is an endless stream of refrigerated blood storage vehicles coming and going.

In the outside world, such large-scale blood collection by the JEC Group naturally caused a lot of controversy.

"Breaking news: After ruling the Indochina Peninsula, the Jeko Group finally showed its evil fangs, madly enslaving and oppressing the people of Indochina Peninsula, forcing them to donate blood. A vampire country is rising in Indochina Peninsula."

"The Jeko Group is secretly injecting experimental genetic viruses into the public through blood donations, using hundreds of millions of people as guinea pigs for genetic weapons research."

"Beware of the genetic experimentation of the Jeko Group. This will endanger the safety of the whole world. The Jeko Group must immediately provide detailed explanations on this matter."

One after another, European and American media have demonized the blood policy of the Jeko Group, filmed blood donation videos with hell filters, and linked them to genetic experiments. They will not miss any opportunity to throw dirty water on the Jeko Group.

Fortunately, the Jeko Group has gotten used to it and does not expect those Western media mouthpieces to say good things. It continues to do its own thing. The massive amount of blood brought by blood donations is continuously flowing into the city of Mande in the Zen Kingdom.
