Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

But this time, things are actually very simple. Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, we can actually know the purpose of Mingyao as long as we understand the origin and process of the matter. "

Xiao Zhao took a sip of tea and said while chewing biscuits:

"Think about it, why did those mining companies accept Mingyao's invitation to come to the celebration village?"

"Well... I think it's because we have conflicts with them and they want an explanation from us, so they came here."

"Then what is the conflict between us and them?"

"It's because we have seized their market and left them with no business."

"Then how do we seize their market?"

"It's because we produce more ore and the price is cheaper - the main problem is still the price of the ore."

"Did Mingyao say he would make concessions on the price of the ore?"

"No...eh?" Nono was slightly startled.

Something seems... wrong?

"Right? He didn't say a word about it."

Xiaozhao smiled: "So he doesn't actually want to please those ore manufacturers, because he has no intention of improving the core contradictions of the problem.

On the contrary, as the stronger side, he gave them a choice.

Or, continue to maintain the current situation and continue to fight until bankruptcy.

Or, accept funding from the Pokémon League, gain the same technical capabilities as us, and then compete with us.

In order to convince them to choose the latter option, he specially took them to the black gold mine to observe, just to let them make an early decision. "

Nuonuo gradually came to her senses. Her eyes widened and she looked slightly surprised: "You mean... pushing the technical assistance plan to them is not a way to please them...

But to push the technical assistance plan to them is the chairman's purpose in itself? !

In that case, why did he choose to do this? "

Chapter 98 Whenever I want to show you some respect, you move

Although Senior Xiaozhao explained the ideas very clearly and spoke simple and easy-to-understand vernacular, Nono felt that he was getting more and more confused.

The purpose of the chairman itself is to hand over those technical assistance projects?

for what?Will you promote this project?

But this project itself makes no money at all. Even if it is promoted, what will it do?In terms of income alone, the income you can get from putting all your efforts into technical support is less than one-tenth of the efficiency of selling ordinary ores. What is the point?

We really can't blame Nono for being unable to turn around. She had been staying with Mingyao at Black Gold Village for more than a month, and the daily business she dealt with was mostly commercial matters such as ore trading.

Unknowingly, she subconsciously understood the positioning of the Pokémon League as a commercial organization with the purpose of profit, and her thinking was also from a commercial perspective.

Xiaozhao also roughly understood what Nono had done wrong, and smiled and said: "Because Mingyao's purpose is not to make money.

Although selling patents, selling property rights, etc. may indeed be able to obtain considerable benefits at an extremely fast speed, so much that it can make the entire Pokémon Alliance one of the top business giants in the world... but that is not what he wants. of.

For him, the most important thing is to spread the concept of "Pokémon farming" as far as possible.He may be reluctantly satisfied until the world embraces the concept.

In order to achieve this goal, let alone less profit, it doesn't matter even if you rebate money.

Nono, think about it for a moment. If all these ore manufacturers accept our technical assistance, how will they develop in the future and what impact will it have? "

Nono thought for a while: "Then their production efficiency and costs will be improved, and the prices of their products will soon be reduced. By then, the Pokémon League's ore business will be affected..."

"I'm not asking you to think about the impact of this. The situation is too small." Xiaozhao pouted: "Throw away the ore, throw away the ore! Think about Pokémon!"

"Hey, this..." Nono adjusted his glasses, and after thinking for a moment with some distress, he slowly said: "If you put aside the ore, then even the people in the Hezhong area will gradually recognize Pokémon. The meaning of farming, and start trying to apply it in many fields... like this?"

"Yep."

Xiaozhao nodded with satisfaction, showing an expression like "Senior, I knew your kid was smart": "As long as they taste the benefits, not only ore, but other industries will also start to try to use the power of Pokémon in their industries. in life.

And they are not familiar with Pokémon, they don’t know the specific characteristics of various Pokémon, and they don’t know where they have special powers that can be used..."

"And by then, people will have no choice but to come to the Pokémon League for advice!"

After all, Nono was a college student who had gone to school, and he immediately realized: "In this case, the concept of Pokémon farming in people's minds will be highly bound to the Pokémon League!

The production gains brought by Pokémon farming are unmatched by most existing industries. Therefore, in order to improve efficiency or reduce costs, or even to prevent themselves from being eliminated, people will choose to turn Pokémon into means of production. Help yourself.

And for ordinary people who have never been exposed to Pokémon, if they want to gain knowledge about Pokémon, they absolutely cannot avoid the Alliance!

So from this point of view, the influence of the alliance will easily spread on a large scale overseas. At that time, it will use media means to promote itself, so that people in other places further away will realize the significance of Pokémon farming, so as to This will make the snowball get bigger and bigger..."

Nuonuo gradually became speechless. She suddenly realized that if this continued, if nothing unexpected happened, sooner or later the influence of the Pokémon League would really spread throughout the world, causing consequences to countless people in the world. profound influence.

And at that point, the Pokémon Alliance has a wide range of influence, possessing both absolute violence and productivity in its hands, and can almost be called half of the world's government.

In comparison, the petty profit that looks so attractive in front of you is nothing to worry about.

She recalled when she first met Mingyao, who said that the purpose of the Pokémon League was a large-scale social revolution.

At that time, she thought that the so-called large area only referred to the rural areas of the Xicui area, but she did not expect...

Does it actually mean the whole world?

Nuonuo felt that her whole understanding had been refreshed, and when she looked at Xiaozhao again, she couldn't help but look in admiration, feeling ashamed that her own structure was too small.

Sure enough, people should not be judged by their appearance. Although Senior Xiaozhao looks silly and naive, it is just an appearance.She is essentially a person with great wisdom and a transparent mentality. Not only does she have long-term grassroots work experience, but she can also easily figure out the profound meaning of the chairman's actions. It is really remarkable to observe the essence of things from a high-dimensional field that ordinary people cannot reach. As a person, I still have to learn a lot from her...

Then under Noono's admiring gaze, the cup in Xiaozhao's hand fell onto the table without holding it properly, and the spilled tea saturated the documents just prepared on Noono's desk...

——The indescribable scream of a social animal——

Mingyao led the representatives—to be precise, the first approved partners of the Pokémon League—to continue wandering around the black gold mine, taking them to continue to observe.

There's Kokodora who can find high-quality iron ore by sniffing her nose, there's the self-exploding magnet monster that can separate metal and soil with electromagnetism by squeezing her nose, and there's Xiduo who looks like he's blowing out high-temperature lava for smelting. Lan En, these are all fresh concepts that the delegates have never seen or heard of before. They couldn't help but marvel and cheered along the way.

By the way, don’t ask Mingyao why the legendary Pokémon Sidoran also has to work here - as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, so it’s such a rare Pokémon that can possess both fire and steel attributes. Why didn't Kamu send the steel-making team?fight?That's called a waste of natural resources...

After walking around for several times, several anxious representatives rushed to Mingyao's side and said with a smile:

"Chairman Ming, that's enough. You have so many new technologies here that we won't be able to digest them in a while...

I just want to know now, how should we discuss the specific details of our cooperation?In what ways are you going to help us with technical support? "

Chapter 99 Your future generations have been arranged.

These people will be eager to discuss cooperation matters in detail, but there is nothing they can do about it.

After walking around in the mine, several thoughtful representatives quickly discovered a very important phenomenon:

Although there are hundreds of miners in this mine, and almost every group of miners can use Pokémon to assist them in their work, there are very few people who can truly master the use of Pokémon!

Even if they don't understand Pokémon at all, they can see this.

Whether most workers use Poke Balls to call Pokémon out and retrieve them, or direct Pokémon to use moves to dig holes or explode, their movements are more or less jerky and stiff, and some even have to Take out some manual or something and look it up on the spot; then compare it with the small number of people who can really command skillfully and flexibly, it is even more embarrassing.

Technical support requires people. It is difficult for such people to work by themselves. Of course, it is impossible for these representatives to recognize these people to assist them.

As for the truly skilled miners, there are only a dozen or twenty people from beginning to end. Considering the daily operation needs of the Black Gold Mine, the Pokémon Alliance can only divide up to ten people to provide technical guidance.

And there were more than 50 representatives of the mining companies present alone!

If there are too few porridge and too many monks, some companies will inevitably acquire new technologies later than other companies. From this point of view, a new competitive relationship has been formed between these mining companies.

Mingyao looked at the eager and somewhat embarrassed representatives, smiled and shook his head gently:

"Don't worry, everyone. Our approach to this aid plan is not to have our people go to your mines to provide guidance, but to have your workers come to us for study and training. In this way, To avoid all the problems caused by our current lack of manpower.”

"Uh... are you coming to this Xicui area?" One of them asked tentatively: "Well, I think even after the training, in actual use, we will definitely encounter many emergencies and want to ask you for help. It would be a bit..."

"I have considered it." Mingyao waved his hand: "In order to avoid this situation, I will set up a Pokémon League office in Sailba City in the Hezhong region. Other matters after your training will be resolved there."

The representatives breathed a sigh of relief: as a port city with a long history, Fanba City has developed transportation and busy traffic, which is much better than this remote Xicui area.

A few representatives with flexible thinking reacted immediately, rubbed their hands and smiled at Mingyao: "In that case, Chairman Ming, do you need help setting up an office in Fanba City? We are not exaggerating. , our company can be considered to have some influence in Fanba City. We know many friends related to the government and real estate developers, and they will definitely be able to help you..."

Needless to say, this group of representatives is indeed a battle-hardened business elite. Their level of adapting to the wind is getting higher and higher. Their mentality quickly changed from the previous hostility to crazy fawning, making them look like Mayor Baggs. This kind of honest man who only knows how to dig can only look at them dryly but can't even hold back a few words...

Mingyao smiled secretly in his heart, shook his head and said: "Don't worry about it, I basically know everything about the office. If nothing happens, our office will be settled there in at most half a year - and by then, your office will be settled there." The first round of training is basically over.

But..."

At this point, Mingyao suddenly changed his subject, and several representatives around him immediately reacted and hurriedly said: "If you have any questions, just ask us, and we will do our best to help you."

"No, it's not a big deal." Mingyao said slowly: "It's just that I plan to ask the person in charge of the office to go to the Hezhong area before the office is completed. He has gained a lot of experience, and he would like to study abroad or something. But, I don’t have much experience in this area..."

"This is easy to handle, this is easy to handle! This is nothing!" A representative was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "Just relax and leave it all to our company! We will definitely take responsibility for that." Everyone’s basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of from the beginning to the end!”

"No, no, no, please leave this matter to us!" A representative of another company immediately came over from the other side and gave way: "Our company has connections with several well-known local schools in Fanba City. Contact us, if you want that representative to study abroad, it would be best to leave it to us!”

"Don't believe them. Chairman Ming, let me tell you that our company can directly communicate with the top universities in the Hezhong region. It will definitely be beneficial for you to give us that representative..."

Seeing several companies vying for this spot, almost starting a fight on the spot, Mingyao smiled and waved his hand and said: "Well... Anyway, I'll call him over to meet you first."

As he spoke, he whispered something to a fellow miner, who immediately nodded and ran deeper into the mine in two quick steps.

After a while, the miner led a short figure over.

The representatives took a closer look and saw that the man was about thirteen or fourteen years old. The cowboy hat on his head covered most of his head. He also had a special-shaped wooden bracelet on his hand with a pattern that looked like Somewhat like a praying mantis.

Of course, the most important thing is the identity tag hanging on his chest.

Special Advisor: Juyi.

The representatives couldn't help but be a little surprised: when they heard Mingyao mention the word "study abroad" just now, they roughly guessed that the person in charge of the office was probably not too old, no more than 30 years old at most.

But I never expected that he would be such a young boy?

Ju Yi, who was called over, also looked confused about the situation. He looked at the more than 50 strangers and whispered to Mingyao: "What's wrong? Who are these people? Why did you call me here? I'm here Drawing a tunnel map..."

Mingyao did not answer directly, but walked behind Juyi, put his hands on his shoulders, and smiled at the representatives:

“Everyone, let me introduce it to you.

This person is the director of Team Pearl, our special consultant here, and the direct person in charge of the next Pokémon League Unova Regional Samba City Office - Samba Gym, Jui.From now on, everything we do in Fanba City will basically be under his control, so please take good care of him. "

Juyi: "...what?"

Chapter 100 Another hundred chapters

After returning to the Pokémon League, Mingyao arranged for people to meet with the representatives one by one, discuss various needs for technical support, and try to draw up a rough contract first.

The representatives who can be sent to participate in this interview meeting, even if they are not the top or second-in-command in their own companies, are at least senior executives with considerable say. There is no problem in signing the contract on their own initiative. No one will be stupid. He said nonsense like "I have to go back and report to our boss first."

Just kidding, if you don’t sign when other companies have signed, isn’t this lagging behind for no reason?If the Pokémon Alliance regrets it later, where can they cry?

They have made up their minds. It doesn't matter if they stay in the celebration village for a few more days. They must finalize the cooperation this time, otherwise they will not be able to sleep well when they go back at night.

In the next room where representatives and staff were busy, Juyi sat on a chair and said with a complicated expression:

"Mingyao... I hope you can give me an explanation."

"Explain? What explanation?"

"It's... what you said in the mine before." Juyi twisted her body awkwardly: "You said you asked me to go to the Hezhong area to be the person in charge..."

"It's just the literal meaning, there is no deep meaning." Mingyao sat opposite him and shrugged: "As you know, after the successful ambush a few days ago, Fox Financial is basically finished.

I plan to take over their assets, which will serve as an entry point for the development of the Pokémon League in the Unova region. Not only will we continue working on their mine, but we will also bring over our own work to expand it in many aspects. Influence.

As for why the office there is named the Gym and the person in charge is called the Gym Leader... this is my personal interest and there is nothing to delve into. "

"Then, why am I the one to be the owner of the museum?"

Juyi looked a little hesitant and at a loss.

Before this, he probably never thought that one day he would leave the Xicui area and travel across the ocean to live in the distant and unfamiliar Hezhong area - in this era of underdeveloped transportation, this was a very difficult thing for a 14-year-old For a young man of [-] years old, it is still a bit too advanced.

"Because in terms of ability, only you are qualified for the position of person in charge."

Mingyao spread his hands: "You are familiar with the concept of Pokémon and have rich knowledge of minerals. What's even more rare is that during this period of time, you have learned how to use them comprehensively... To be honest, apart from you, , I really can’t think of anyone who can be worthy of this responsibility.”

"But... there is no reason for me to listen to your arrangements, right?" Juyi reminded: "Don't forget, I am just a consultant, not an employee of your Pokémon Alliance, and you are not my boss."

"Then you mean you don't want to go?"

"I can't go." Juyi shook her head: "I have never thought about leaving my hometown, leaving the Pearl Team, leaving Xicui, and living in other places.

I still have the responsibility of the field director, so I can't leave for too long as I like, otherwise I will miss Ax Mantis too.
