At the same time, I will serve as a cautionary tale for others.
Even someone like me, who made such a significant contribution, only received a pittance. So, what about those less capable than me, those who couldn't make the same contribution? Wouldn't their rewards be even more severely diminished?
Many people think that Bai Lan's words make a lot of sense.
This is especially true for those who think they are very capable and have been eager to make a fortune by taking advantage of the new rules.
These people couldn't help but feel that Bai Lan's present was their future, and the more Bai Lan received today, the more they would receive in the future.
Thinking of this, a fervent light instantly shone in the eyes of these ambitious people.
"I checked the class scores for the third grade these past few days."
Bai Lan glanced at the others, and after noticing a few fervent looks, he nodded and continued, "I've noticed that Class A of Grade 3 has a score of over 2500. Do you know what that means?"
"What does that mean?" someone immediately asked, following Bai Lan's words.
Bai Lan: "This means that if the current third-grade A class could have achieved a perfect score of 1000 points in the first month when they first entered school, it would have been a different story."
In the following two years, Class A of Grade 3 achieved a class score of at least 1500 points through various special tests arranged by the school!
Why say 'at least'?
Because everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Class A of Grade 3 should have had points deducted in the past two years, and they probably didn't get full marks in the special test in the first month of school.
Therefore, the total score achieved by Class A in Grade 3 over the past two years should be far more than 1500 points. The 2500+ points we see now is the result after an unknown number of points were deducted.
Let me make a guess. I think the Class A of Grade 3 has scored more than 2000 points in the past two years!
2000 points!
This is what Class A of Grade 3 has achieved in the past two years, and it is also what you can try to achieve in the next two years.
Two years to get 2000 points, while high school has three years.
So maybe in the third year you'll get 1000 points too.
Over the next three years, you may be able to achieve a score of 3000!
In this special exam, I only managed to save the class a mere 600-plus points, but what I gained from those 600-plus points will determine what you can achieve from 3000 points in the future!
Do you plan to take these 3000 points?
So, how much are you planning to give me?
115. Hirata's assist, the split is set, an unexpected bonus.
"So, how much are you planning to give me?"
Faced with Bai Lan's question.
For a moment, the students didn't know how to answer.
Those who are capable or have a good mindset, and who feel they have a chance to earn points by making contributions, naturally hope that Bai Lan can get a good score and make a good start.
As for those who lack ability, like to slack off, and lack motivation, they feel they can't make any contribution to the class and don't really want to give Bai Lan a large share.
The problem is that people who lack ability, are unwilling to work hard, and just want to slack off generally don't have good academic performance. Therefore, they may fail the midterm exams, which could lead to the risk of dropping out of school.
Although they were reluctant to give up points, they were also worried that Bai Lan wouldn't get a good share, which would make the others less motivated to contribute and less willing to help them, these academic underachievers, overcome the risk of dropping out of school.
If they are expelled from school in this month's midterm exams, then no matter how many points they accumulate each month in the future, it will be irrelevant to them.
As for those who have the ability to slack off without risk, but who are not lacking in motivation, they are not nonexistent, but they are very rare.
In short, the class reached a consensus: they had to make sure Bai Lan received a generous reward.
However, consensus is merely a "goal".
In reality, simply finding the right goal does not guarantee that you will achieve it.
Easier said than done.
There will always be many real obstacles on the path to achieving your goal.
Soon, people raised the problems they had encountered:
"Bai, your contribution is worthy of a 'Special Award,' and I have nothing to say about that. You deserve more than 50% of the share."
However, nearly half of us will have to pay fines of 20,000 or 25,000 yuan each month for at least the next six months.
In other words, although we receive 62,000 yuan in living expenses each month, we can only actually use about 40,000 yuan.
And you, Bai, will take at least 50% of our share each month, which is 31,000.
As a result, we only have about 10,000 left each month, and some may even only have 6,000 left!
Six thousand points are simply not enough to cover even the most basic expenses, okay?
Moreover, 50% is only the 'minimum' cut; if the cut exceeds 70%, some of us will have our living expenses wiped out completely.
This is the most practical problem.
If the class rules Bai Lan introduces would make it difficult for nearly half of the students to even afford basic necessities, then these students would probably not be willing to accept them.
When people can't even afford to eat, who has the leisure to talk about "making achievements and establishing a career"?
Don't teach people who are starving that "every citizen has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation."
Besides Bai Lan, a total of 15 people paid the fines, accounting for 40% of the class. If they didn't cooperate, Bai Lan would have a hard time getting the money.
Fortunately, Bai Lan did have a way to deal with this problem.
Bai Lan quickly responded, "The profit sharing I mentioned doesn't refer to the living expenses of each individual."
Rather, it's all the income you get from these 620 points that I acquire.
As for the fines, the money no longer belongs to you from the moment it is settled; you have no right to control it, so it cannot be considered 'income' at all.
If you go to work and are late one day and your boss deducts 1,000 from your paycheck, do you need to pay taxes on the 1,000 that was deducted when you get your next paycheck?
To give an extreme example, if your boss deducts all of your salary, do you still have to pay taxes on the deducted salary as income?
No need!
Therefore, the remaining amount after paying the fine is the 'income,' and that should be used to calculate the profit sharing.
"If the split is 50%, then after paying the fine, you only need to give me 50% of the remaining 40,000 or so. Even after paying 50%, you'll still have over 20,000 left, which should be enough to live on, right?"
Then someone else asked, "I remember that bonuses are also subject to taxation! So, do I have to share my bonus with you?"
Bai Lan: "No need. Your bonuses are also a share, and it's equal to mine. It's just that I get more and you get less."
After Bai Lan said that, everyone in the class who received the prize money breathed a sigh of relief.
In their view, at least this portion of over ten thousand was secure. Even if Bai Lan demanded a larger share, they could at least be assured that they could use this portion of over ten thousand with peace of mind.
Then someone else asked, "Student Bai, I just calculated that the total fines for those who violated the rules and had points deducted are only about half of the 'light penalty' standard in your rules."
Because the fines for 'lighter penalties' are smaller, fewer of us who 'win' the prize receive the bonus compared to your standard.
The rewards we receive are 'non-standard,' so why do you still apply the 'standard' standards? Isn't that a double standard? Since we are all being rewarded and punished using the same special exam and the same event, it would be better to apply the same set of standards.
Either increase the prize money for our "winning" prize and the fines for their "lighter" prizes, or reduce your share of the "special prize."
Upon hearing this, everyone who had received the prize money nodded in agreement.
If Bai Lan chooses to raise the standards, their bonuses will be higher, and since the bonuses are not subject to profit sharing, their "guaranteed minimum" will be more substantial.
If Bai Lan chooses to lower the standards, then Bai Lan's share will decrease, and they will also be able to pay less in living expenses.
The bonus and living expenses can at least secure one of them.
One increase and one decrease, it's incredibly stable!
Bai Lan looked exhausted, yawned, and didn't reply.
Bai Lan remained silent, but some people couldn't hold back any longer.
Those who were speaking were the ones who had paid the fines.
For the person who receives the bonus, whether Bai Lan raises or lowers the standards, it won't be too bad.
But it's a different story for those who have paid the fine.
Bai Lan can only benefit them by lowering the standards.
If Bai Lan chooses to raise the standards, they will have to bleed money again.
Thinking of this, someone among those who paid the fine immediately shouted:
"The punishment has already been imposed, so there's no reason for it to be changed again."
"Then let's maintain the previous standards?"
"But if Bai only takes half, that's too little. How can we set a standard for the future? How can you be so shameless as to do worse than Bai but take more than Bai?"
Moreover, even if someone is kind enough to forgive, Bai Tongxue will probably get angry, and if he gets angry, something terrible might happen.
I'm a little scared.
Furthermore, what if Bai gets disappointed in us and refuses to put in the effort? Without Bai, will our class drop back to Class D?
Upon hearing these words, everyone instinctively looked at Bai Lan.
Then they discovered that Bai Lan had somehow returned to her seat and was lying on the table, looking out the window with an air of nonchalance.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent.
Bai Lan's seemingly indifferent attitude towards them made many people nervous. They wanted to test Bai Lan's reaction, but dared not step forward.
In the end, it was Hirata who stepped forward and greeted Shirai.
"Bai Tongxue, Bai Tongxue? Bai Tongxue!"
After Hirata shouted louder and louder each time, Bai Lan finally turned around impatiently: "What's wrong? Have the results come out yet?"
Seeing Bai Lan's attitude, Hirata immediately became nervous.
"Has Shiro lost patience?" Hirata thought to himself. "It seems I have to give an answer immediately."
Then, Hirata looked at the people who had spoken the most earlier.
Those people turned their heads away.
Finally, after thinking it over, Hirata decided to compromise and come up with a result based on everyone's opinions.
Hirata quickly completed the "compromise" process in his mind, and then he spoke:
