"How can you do that!" Jiang Ye was startled, "This planet is my home!"
"That's right, it's your home for now, but you'll be moving in the future. Who doesn't move a few times in their life?" Feng Zhi Shuang's breathing had calmed down a bit.
"That's not necessarily true. I don't plan to move in the short term. All my hard work is here." Jiang Ye frowned, "The word 'viral' doesn't sound like a good word, and besides, there aren't that many habitable planets. If I leave here for another place, who knows what it will be like."
"You can rest assured about that. There are plenty of habitable planets, as many as you want. The Galactic Empire is in a period of rapid expansion, and this expansion is expected to last for at least several thousand years. Countless habitable planets await development. Do you know about claiming land by horse? In ancient times, when a large tract of wasteland was discovered, a stick was tied to the horse's hindquarters, and the horse was let loose to gallop for a day. The area the stick could outline belonged to the horse owner." Feng Zhi Shuang said, "You are now a noble who can claim land by horse. This is just the first planet you are claiming. What you need to do is to consume this planet quickly and then move on to the next. The faster, the better. Your progress is too slow, like a snail crawling."
"Alright, even if my ultimate goal is to finish consuming this planet quickly, building a lot of low-profit factories doesn't make sense in the short term!" Jiang Ye asked, "There are only tens of thousands of people on the entire planet. If most of them go to cheap factories, what will happen in the future?"
"Hey, you idiot!" Feng Zhi Shuang actually laughed heartily, "With the front-line battles collapsing, more and more planets are being evacuated. There are countless refugees. Of course, we should take them all in! I have insider information that another batch of refugees will be accepted in a couple of days. Remember to set the reception number to five hundred thousand."
Jiang Ye was shocked, "Five hundred thousand! My God, you're crazy!"
"What are you afraid of? Afraid of so many people overwhelming you? Put your mind at ease. You already have seven thousand troops. One gun can keep a hundred people in check. Your colony can handle seven hundred thousand people without any problem."
"And my team will help you review the refugee data, ensuring that only good citizens are recruited and that there will be no rebellion."
"I'm just afraid of pulling a muscle by taking too big a step." Jiang Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The bold get rich, the timid starve. Your fear of growing big shows that you still have a commoner's mentality, not a businessman's. If you had been an entrepreneur, you would know that growth is king. Grow at all costs, the bigger the better. Those who don't grow will eventually die, while those who grow will find it hard to die." Feng Zhi Shuang said with certainty. Da Feng Novel Network
"How about this, next time there's an immigration opportunity, I'll take in about three hundred thousand people, bringing the total global population to five hundred thousand." Jiang Ye said, "Taking in five hundred thousand at once is too big a step, and it makes me nervous."
"Don't be a coward! I'm not a coward even at my age, and you're a young man who should be bold. Don't be like an old man."
"Cowardice is necessary when it's called for." Jiang Ye said, "When I studied abroad on an alien planet, I heard too many stories of extinction due to rapid expansion. Eating too much can lead to death, and even if you don't die, you'll rupture something."
"Disgusting, I'm going to eat. Alright, I'll hang up now."
"Wait a moment, there's something I need your opinion on."
"You're welcome, please speak."
"I plan to support a group of local businesses. We need to set up an agency specifically responsible for the establishment, taxation, and control of local businesses. Do you have any experience in this area?"
"Of course! This is part of my job!" Feng Zhi Shuang said, "Wait for me to finish eating, and I'll send you a document from my office. You'll understand when you read it."
"Okay, enjoy your meal."
Jiang Ye hung up the phone and waited silently.
Feng Zhi Shuang was truly elegant during dinner. An hour later, a document was sent to Jiang Ye.
[The Planetary Enterprise Bureau is an agency dedicated to the registration, information filing, taxation subsidies, support, and safety supervision of local enterprises and enterprises stationed on the planet. It is a nanny agency and a parental agency for businesses of all sizes.]
Below were over twenty pages of detailed introductions, filled with half-human, half-ghost gibberish that made Jiang Ye's head spin. He finally understood the central meaning: the Planetary Enterprise Bureau managed everything on the planet.
At the end was a suggestion written by Feng Zhi Shuang:
[Based on the current scale, population, and economic size of Jiang Ye Star's enterprises, approximately 350 employees will be needed to operate the Planetary Enterprise Bureau. A Director and Deputy Director will be appointed, reporting directly to the General. The basic qualities of employees should include: loyalty and reliability, high cultural level, approachability, diligence, and strong execution.] The office can be located on the 60th floor of the Macroeconomic Building.
[Salaries should be relatively high, but not excessively so. High salaries can foster integrity, while excessively high salaries can attract those who are purely profit-driven. Based on the current average resident income and wealth disparity on Jiang Ye Star, the monthly salary for the Director of the Planetary Enterprise Bureau should be around 250,000, the Deputy Director around 230,000, and ordinary staff around 80,000.]
Jiang Ye was very satisfied. Macroeconomists were so useful; they could consider everything, even setting appropriate salaries.
As for the personnel for the Planetary Enterprise Bureau...
Jiang Ye thought for a moment, found Wan Xiucheng and Wu Junmin lying in the hospital, and pulled them into a small group.
As soon as they were added, the two noticed. They were probably bored in the hospital and spent all day playing on their phones.
Wan Xiucheng: "What is this..."
Wu Junmin: "???"
Wan Xiucheng: "Oh, the group owner is the General! Hello, Commander!"
Wu Junmin: "Hello, Commander! Reporting, Commander. Wan Xiucheng and I are completing our discharge procedures and will return to the troop's stationed area shortly! Thank you for your concern and care, Commander!"
Jiang Ye: "Don't go back to the troops. I'm establishing a new department here. I'll send you a document first to take a look."
Jiang Ye modified the document sent by Feng Zhi Shuang, deleted the last part, and forwarded the beginning to the group.
After a few minutes, both soldiers reported that they had finished reading.
Jiang Ye: "Enterprises are the great heart of our planet's economic development. Managing local and foreign enterprises is crucial. I don't trust anyone else with this position; it must be given to my soldiers from the army, and good soldiers at that. I have reviewed your profiles; both of you have university degrees and experience in hardship, making you suitable for work in the Planetary Enterprise Bureau."
Jiang Ye: "Wu Junmin was a squad leader in the army, and Wan Xiucheng was a veteran. Therefore, Wu Junmin will temporarily act as the Director of the Planetary Enterprise Bureau, and Wan Xiucheng will temporarily act as the Deputy Director. Their salaries will be temporarily set at 250,000 and 230,000 per month, with military ranks of Captain and Vice-Captain."
Jiang Ye: "Your next task is to go to the sixtieth floor of the Macroeconomic Building, which will be your future office. Familiarize yourselves with the venue first, then find Ms. Feng Zhi Shuang, the macroeconomist on the top floor, and ask her to teach you how to carry out your work. Recruit enough personnel as quickly as possible, build the work team, and report any problems to me promptly."
Wu Junmin: "Yes! Thank you for your cultivation, Commander! We will do our best to carry out our work!"
Wan Xiucheng: "Yes! Thank you for your cultivation, Commander! We will do our best to carry out our work!"
Jiang Ye really wanted to say, "Are you two recording devices?" but he held back.
