Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

As she expected.

The authorities are the ones who are really anxious.

Why did they wait until more than two hours after the leaderboard opened to contact her about something so urgent?

Li Zhi quickly thought of countless other things that would be even more troublesome for the authorities.

—Especially in the merged areas.

Before the districts were merged, the number of official personnel in the 15 districts was limited, and they could only communicate with each other.

The smaller the number of people, the greater the sense of unity.

Sorting by job title will make decision-making and implementation much faster.

However, now Dongqi has merged 9999 districts.

If there is one leader per district, there are 9999 leaders. So, which leader should we listen to?

Does it still come down to whoever has the higher rank?

How are those at the same level calculated?

What about those who feel they shouldn't act according to their Earthly positions in the new world, or those who do possess greater talent and strength?

Li Zhi felt a headache just thinking about it.

Suddenly I feel very safe. Being able to contact her within two hours is already lightning speed.

However, it remains to be seen whether such a large-scale personnel change and adjustment within the official organization will affect her plans.

Give me back my Samsung Galaxy S5! : [Does saying this mean you have the authority to make that decision?]

Li Anquan was anxiously waiting for news from Li Zhi.

Upon seeing this sentence, he paused slightly, then turned to look at the person next to him.

Bai Ge: "Tell her we can make the decision."

Jiang You: "No way, there's only so much we can do. The leaders haven't even finished their meeting yet. With resources being consolidated, we can't allocate much at all. If she asks for everything, will you take responsibility?"

Li Anquan: "The temperature is dropping faster and faster, and extreme cold may come at any time. If we don't prepare shelters, I don't know how many people will freeze to death."

Jiang You: "That's why I said you shouldn't have been so polite to her in the first place. You should have used an official tone to ask her to cooperate. As ordinary citizens, we have an obligation to cooperate with us."

Bai Ge's tone turned serious: "Jiang You, this is a new world now. For most people, there is no official government. Three-star five-cost units can choose not to cooperate with us. If you continue with this attitude, you will easily mess things up."

Jiang You: "Fine, fine, fine. Who told you to be a psychology expert and have such a loud voice? Okay, I'll listen to you, alright?"

Bai Ge's face was icy cold. He ignored Jiang You and looked at Li Anquan: "Express your sincerity again and see what she wants. Everything is negotiable."

Li Anquan: "Okay."

You are safe: [We are absolutely sincere in our desire to cooperate. You can state your requirements first, and then we can discuss them.]

When Li Zhi saw these words, he knew he had guessed correctly.

As expected, unrest occurred in District 15.

You are safe, but you can't make the decision for now.

But she held absolute leverage and wasn't worried that the other party wouldn't compromise.

Give me back my Samsung 5-star fee!!! :[I do have the right to allocate a 300-square-meter area, and I plan to use it for mining cloud ore.]

"Fishing for cloud mining?"

The commander's voice came from behind, and Li Anquan and the others turned around and saluted.

"Ask her why she chose to fish for cloud mines."

When Li Zhi saw this question, he knew that the fish had taken the bait.

Give me back my Samsung Galaxy S5! : [This message is worth a fortune, you can't afford it.]

Jiang You frowned: "You made a typo."

Li Anquan said seriously, "The last few words prove that there was no typo."

The commander pondered for a moment: "Bai Ge, what's your opinion?"

Bai Ge carefully considered his words and said, "Based on our previous analysis of Samsung's five-cost model, her information is definitely not without basis. It is highly likely that she has the intention to cooperate, but hopes to raise the price through this method."

Chief: "How much do you think her fortune is worth?"

Bai Ge pondered for a moment: "I think it has at least 80% gold content."

Commander: "You speak very highly of her."

He turned to look at another unfamiliar young man.

"Banling, you're a financial analyst, what do you think?"

While rapidly calculating with pen and paper, Ban Ling quickly replied, "I think it's an exaggeration to think that she could leverage billions of dollars in funds on the fourth day of the new world. But most successes don't rely on data at all, but on luck and opportunity, and these two are the most unreasonable things. Samsung's previous success has already endorsed her actions. I think we can test her."

Jiang You: "I object. Her success doesn't mean anything. No matter how powerful she is, she's just the top person on the regional wealth list, not the top person on the racial or global wealth list. Besides, 300 square meters is a drop in the ocean for us; it can't even accommodate a few people. She's clearly trying to make an exorbitant demand. Chief, our resources are dwindling with every use. If we bet everything on her, the biggest chance we'll lose everything!"

Ban Ling calmly said, "That's why I said it was a test, not a direct agreement. If what she said is true, the value of this information is definitely more than hundreds of millions, and her own value is even more than that."

Bai Ge: "I also tend to test the waters first. Even if the negotiations fail, given Samsung's five-cost strategy, they won't break down completely."

Li Anquan listened in silence, offering no opinion.

Commander: "Then ask."

He said to Bai Ge, "Go ask."

Li Anquan switched the panel to external mode.

Bai Ge quickly typed on his homemade keyboard: [We don't have hundreds of millions of dollars to buy this information, but I believe in you and the value of this information. We'd like to ask what kind of cooperation model you'd like. Our only request is that you allow 200 ordinary people to enter your area and receive shelter.]

Li Zhi looked at the line of text thoughtfully.

This is clearly not a tone of voice suggesting you are feeling safe.

You speak very strictly and professionally, which shows you are an honest person, but you don't know how to be flexible. You often don't bother to adjust your tone when conveying instructions.

This person speaks much more gently and has more negotiation skills, indicating that the authorities have increased their attention to this news about her.

Give me back my Samsung Galaxy S5! : [200 people is too many]

You are safe: [It is indeed very crowded for 200 people to fit in a 300-square-meter space, but we really have no other choice. The extreme cold is coming soon, and only a very small number of people can upgrade their airships. Most people don't even have warm clothing or fuel. All we can do is save as many people as possible.]

Li Zhi was even more certain that the other side wasn't you and that he was safe.

You are safe and don't play the victim.

But she can!

Give me back my Samsung 5-star credit!!! : [You're so kind, comrade! You've hit the nail on the head! As a fellow human being, I sincerely want to contribute to my fellow countrymen, but nobody knows that my position as the top-ranked person in the region is all talk and no action. I seem successful, but I'm actually heavily in debt. Lending out this 300 square meters is both to help my fellow countrymen and to deleverage. My heart is willing, but my strength is limited; what I can do is truly limited. I'm ashamed…]
