Chapter 718 Would I lie to you?
Lin Mo coughed lightly and added more straw to the camels, saying:
"And for these people who are stationed long-term across different sectors, we also need to consider their travel allowances, position allowances, holiday bonuses, insurance, housing provident fund, medical insurance, and transportation during their shift breaks..."
Thorin's mouth trembled as he listened.
"Wait a minute... what kind of gold did you just mention?"
Lin Mo waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter; it's all about reasonable labor costs."
"Would I lie to you? You can check these things anytime afterward; they are benefits that all our employees receive."
Thorin: "..."
He felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Kyle looked at Lin Mo.
"We'll cover these costs too?"
Lin Mo nodded.
"Yes, whoever uses it bears the responsibility."
"Of course, Da Xia will provide a standard price list and will never overcharge."
Upon hearing this, Thorin became even more uneasy.
Having collaborated with Da Xia so many times, he has come to a profound understanding of one thing.
Da Xia said he would never overcharge, which usually means that every charge will be clearly written down, leaving you with no room for argument.
The others exchanged bewildered glances.
However, these people only earn tens of thousands of gold coins in three years, which is nothing compared to the four million gold coins, and is still acceptable.
Lin Mo did not intentionally want to exploit the various ethnic groups. It was just like how if a foreign company wanted to establish a company in Daxia, Daxia would also have laws to restrain the other party and protect the rights and interests of Daxia workers.
Otherwise, capital, driven by profit and greed, will do anything.
Similarly, if their own people were to work for the various tribes of Terra, only to be treated as slaves by them, this would be unacceptable to Great Xia.
Seeing that the others had almost finished digesting, Lin Mo continued:
"Therefore, the maintenance personnel of Daxia need to be stationed there for a long time, and for a long time to be stationed there, there must be a supporting living area."
"Dormitories, canteens, medical rooms, water purification systems, communication base stations, recreational facilities, and security facilities must all be up to standard."
"Otherwise, if people go there and suffer from poor food, accommodation, communication problems, and insufficient rest, they'll all quit, ultimately affecting equipment maintenance. You wouldn't want to see that, would you?"
After speaking, Lin Mo looked at Grom.
Grom knew the living conditions of his orc race; to put it bluntly, they were no different from savages.
As a sixth-tier expert, his face flushed slightly, and he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, saying:
"Well... whatever you do, I'll leave it to the Great Xia to decide."
Seeing this, Thorin chuckled and patted his chest, saying:
"Rest assured, we dwarves will absolutely not mistreat the people of Great Xia!"
"Plenty of accommodation and plenty of alcohol!"
Fendona covered her mouth and smiled.
"Yeah?"
"You dwarves eat coarse wheat bread, anvil bread, fermented tamarind, smoked deer leg, and rye malt liquor every day."
"The people of Daxia probably won't last more than three days before they have to flee."
Thorin's face stiffened, somewhat unconvinced, and he said stiffly:
"That's still better than you elves!"
"You eat plants, fruits, and nectar every day, and you're all so thin that you'd be blown away by the wind."
Fendona gave a soft hum.
"It's better than you short and fat people."
Thorin slammed his fist on the table.
"We're strong!"
Fendona smiled.
"Really? Then why do your belts always have to be longer?"
"That's because we dwarves have broad chests!"
"But I was talking about the belt."
"..."
Seeing that the elf and the dwarf were about to start arguing again, Lin Mo quickly tapped the table.
"Alright, alright, everyone."
Thorin and Fendona both fell silent.
Lin Mo said:
"To ensure the long-term stability of the operations and maintenance team, DaXia suggests building a standardized DaXia overseas operations and maintenance living area next to the World Tree planting area for each race."
"This section includes work areas, dormitories, canteens, warehouses, medical stations, communication towers, and emergency shelters, etc."
"And the construction costs for this part will be borne by each ethnic group."
The meeting room fell silent.
In fact, each of the points raised by Da Xia is reasonable on its own.
But when combined, they cause the wallets of all ethnic groups to cry out in despair.
But no one can refuse it.
Because the World Tree is so important.
It was so important that even though they knew Da Xia was making money off it, they could only nod in agreement.
Thorin looked left and right, hoping someone would stand up and say something to refute him so he could immediately join the group. Otherwise, it wouldn't work if he was the only one with opinions, or Lin Mo would think he was targeting him.
But who will step forward?
An elf? Anyone can see that this little girl is in love with Lin Mo and has been bewitched by Cupid. Plus, her clan is rich, so why would she stand up for her?
As for Kyle? Needless to say, he was being called the Holy Son with great enthusiasm.
Thorin looked at Grom, his lips curling in disdain.
Given their living conditions, even the dwarves couldn't stand it. The Great Xia should indeed build these messy structures to ensure the livelihood of its people.
He strongly suspected that it was because the conditions for the orcs were too poor that the Great Xia imposed these requirements, and that the three races had suffered an undeserved disaster.
Thorin sighed inwardly, "If only the dragons were here."
They don't need to read people's faces, so they should be able to say a few words.
However, the opponent was too large and unwilling to operate in the Great Xia. After the demon army retreated, Adis returned to Terra through the portal.
Regarding the purchase of the World Tree Reactor, they simply said, "You just need to reach an agreement, and we'll buy it at the agreed price," effectively becoming a hands-off manager.
Finally, Thorin sadly discovered that two members of the Terra Alliance had sided with Great Xia, one was subservient and the other indifferent, leaving him to fight alone.
What's the point of talking about this? Just accept your fate.
His expression fell, and he said weakly:
"Lin, let's talk about any other charges later."
Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand.
That's all.
Upon hearing this, Thorin's expression softened considerably.
After Lin Mo finished talking with the various ethnic groups, he saw them off and returned to his office to drink some water and catch his breath.
Looking at the time,
"Oh no! We're late for the meeting!"
He quickly got up and hurried to another conference room.
When Lin Mo pushed open the conference room door, everyone in the room turned their attention to him.
The conference room is very large.
Anyone sitting inside, if you pick one out at random, is a key national figure that ordinary people would only see in the news.
Old Zhao sat calmly in the main seat.
Han Niba sat to his right, dressed in a crisp military uniform, with a stack of reports in front of him.
The space on the left is empty.
At a glance, one can see that academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, such as Qian Zhenhua and Liu Chengen, are also present.
I also saw many familiar faces, such as Zhao Gang, Long Zhan, Lin Shigong, Chen Jianguo, and so on.
In addition, there were also leaders from various fields such as military industry, energy, logistics, agriculture, transportation, aerospace, and underground city construction.
And they had all been waiting for a long time!
