Chapter 38 In order to raise funds for work, a certain president actually...(1/2)

After a long time, the students' discussion came to an end.

They were divided into several working groups based on their respective situations and prepared to start work from three aspects: schools, factories, and Zaan communities.

The school is easy to talk about. These young people are themselves international students in Zuan, and they usually hang out in the same circle of international students. Whether they are in their own school or in other schools, they all know people and can talk to them.

But when it comes to factories and communities, and when it comes to spreading propaganda to those Zaun apprentices, the students are in a bit of a dilemma.

This is not because these students are not down to earth and do not know how to communicate with workers.

On the contrary, these foreign students in Zu'an are not the kind of scholars who have nothing to do with success. Almost all of them relied on hard work and study, sweat and hard work to escape from the ghost place of Zu'an and come here.

They have seen what the factory looks like.

They all know what the workers' lives are like.

But precisely because of this, they knew how difficult it would be to publicize workers:

"Teacher Levi."

"The life of apprentices in Zaun is indeed very hard. They earn a salary that is barely enough to sustain their family. They have to work more than ten hours a day. They can only rest on a few holidays such as Evolution Day throughout the year..."

"But even so, compared to the workers in Zu'an's hometown, their lives are happy."

This is true. Happiness comes from comparison.

Compared to Zaun's pure old British-style flesh and blood mills, where the average life expectancy of workers is less than 30... the life of an apprentice in Piltover is really a blessing.

Therefore, apprentices in Zaun are generally quite satisfied with the status quo and generally have no spirit of resistance.

"And this is still a small problem."

"The most important problem is: the heavy work of more than ten hours a day has taken up most of the apprentices' personal time - turning them into mere stars on this large industrial machine, with no time to think and no time to think.

Mechanical parts.”

"They are already tired from work. If we go to them to promote this, will they really have the patience to listen?"

"Well... you are right."

Levi couldn't help but think of himself.

When he was studying, he once dreamed of buying a high-end computer after working and playing whatever games he wanted.

But after he actually started working, he didn't even bother to turn on the computer.

Every day when I come back from get off work, I lie paralyzed on the bed, holding my phone and scrolling through short videos. The day passes inexplicably, as if it had been cut away by the Crimson King.

Why?

Because the work is too tiring.

When he was tired, he didn't even have the patience to play those AAA games that required time-consuming immersion. He just wanted to have some fragmented entertainment to relax his mind.

This is true even when playing games, let alone reading, studying, or studying any major principles.

And the work of these Zaun apprentices must be ten or a hundred times harder than Li Wei's previous work.

After Li Wei suffered a lot, he woke up and was able to change his time from watching videos to reading and studying.

He still has time to think about his ideals.

But these Zaun apprentices, apart from work, almost only have time to eat and sleep.

"How can we make them willingly give us another period of this precious time?"

The students are very distressed.

But Levi wasn't much better.

Old problem, he has never done this before!

However, he still thought of the free vegetarian meals he had with his grandmother when he was a child, the "five loaves and two fishes" he had eaten at the church, the discounted vegetables he grabbed at the supermarket, and the free eggs he picked up at sales fairs.

..

Even the useless credits he earned by sitting in various positions in the university.

Things have been obtained and time has been handed over.

"Since the apprentices only have time to eat and sleep, let's start with this meal time."

Li Wei replaced himself as the original owner and as an ordinary apprentice in Zaun.

How do you get apprentices to listen to you patiently?

Of course, let’s get something practical first.

"Let's set up a breakfast stall at the entrance of the factory. Half of the food is sold and half is given away. I hope they will have the patience to chat with you while eating."

Li Wei gave an example casually.

For apprentices in Zaun, the attraction of a piece of free brown bread is worth a thousand words.

"This is a good idea! But..."

These students are smart people, and they quickly realize: "This is going to cost money."

Yes, fighting also costs money.

Without funds, if you use love to generate electricity, you may not be able to accomplish anything.

But where does the money come from?

Almost all of these Zaan students are poor, and their trouser pockets are so clean that it would make a thief cry.

"I do!" Victor stood up without hesitation: "I have been saving my salary over the years and have nowhere to spend it, so I can just use it to support our cause!"

"Is it enough?" Levi was worried for him.

"It's enough for now..." Victor also became distressed.

Although his salary is high and his savings are sufficient, in the long run, he alone will definitely not be able to support the operation of the entire organization.

To continue this business, they must find a stable source of income.

"Wait...I have an idea!"

"A method that can not only solve the funding problem, but also promote our publicity work."

Victor just thought for a moment and came up with a solution——

For him, a genius scientist, it is really not difficult to make a fortune.

He didn't make a fortune before, entirely because he was too obsessed with scientific research and too neglected money, fame, material enjoyment... and other external things.

So when other scientists were busy integrating industry, academia and research, and converting their scientific research results into economic benefits, even his best friend Jess began to frequently attend various social dinners to seek benefits for the family...

.

Victor was still alone in the laboratory, doing research happily.

"After so many years of research, I have actually accumulated many inventions with practical significance."

"Steam-powered batteries, mechanical flying claws, precision joint transmission devices, intelligent microprocessors, Hex mechanical prostheses, laser cutters, gravity field generators..."

"These invention patents are all in my hands!"

Victor reported a lot of high-tech products that Li Wei was amazed by, just like the names of dishes:

"We can definitely use these research results to finance a business, recruit apprentice workers from Zaun, and open a factory of our own!"

This is indeed a good idea.

You can not only take advantage of the technological advantages established by Victor's genius and wisdom, earn high profits from the market and provide funds for the team. You can also use your own factory as your base to directly promote the Zaun apprentices in the factory.

"But..." Levi still hesitated: "This factory can't just be opened."

"As you said, Victor, we have technology but no funds."

"If you don't have the funds and want to open a factory, you need to find those rich people to attract investment. To attract investment from those rich people, you will inevitably have to cooperate with business owners, which will expose the business owners to our business..."

"If those investors realize what we are doing, how will they react? Will we cause trouble before the factory is even built?"

That's the problem.

Those Piltover rich people are the natural enemies of the leaders. Making money with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

"Hey, it would be great if we could meet a rich man who is rich, sympathizes with the workers, has experienced the hardships of the people's livelihood, and is willing to betray his class background, and might be on our side."

"It's best to have people who are both from Zu'an and may be inspired with feelings of national independence; and they already have a factory at home, so they can help us start our propaganda work now..."

Levi couldn't help but think so.

After thinking about it, he discovered...

etc?

He seems to really know this kind of rich man.

"That... Seraphine?"

Li Wei looked at this rich young lady.

All the eyes of the audience also followed Levi and focused on Seraphine.
To be continued...
