Homo sapiens

November 1, 2019.

The slowly rising food prices may, in the eyes of big families and big businessmen, mean the cost of driving a Mercedes Benz for one more day a month.

But in Manila's slums, it's a very serious matter.

As food prices rise, the prices of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural machinery are also rising. This has forced local farmers to increase the prices of vegetables, fruits and other agricultural products, making the lives of poor people who are not already wealthy even worse.

Right now.

Garfield took his team to the streets of Fondo District in Manila and delivered his speech.

On the temporary podium protected by bulletproof glass, Garfield spoke out with high spirits:

"My dear compatriots! I, Garfield Fernando, came here today not to talk about ideals, ideas, and spirit, but to bring 30,000 jobs."

In the small square, the poor people who were forcibly pulled over by gangs immediately forgot all about the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"That's right, 30,000 jobs." Garfield clenched his fists and shouted.

Suddenly everyone cheered in unison.

"Explaining the truth a million times is not as good as a job; reporting the news a million times is not as good as an egg; shooting a million documentaries is not as good as an opportunity to study..."

"I, Garfield Fernando, will do my best for the rise of Luzon. Providing 30,000 jobs this time is a practice of my belief..."

"One day in the future, everyone will have a satisfying job; everyone will not have to worry about having enough to eat; everyone will get a good education."

At the end of Garfield's words, he believed it himself and burst into tears. He opened his hands and shouted loudly: "Please believe in me and support me. Thank you..."

Bang bang bang...

Warm applause erupted from the scene, and everyone was full of hope. Although this hope was only an impulsive atmosphere, a kind of blind optimism that was produced when the group was irrational.

But humans are a ragtag bunch.

People in the darkness don't need so-called rationality, they just need a little light.

Garfield will be that ray of sunshine.

…

In another estate in Manila.

Lao Du, who was watching the live TV, sat on the sofa and rubbed his temples a little helplessly. He looked at Garfield's somewhat demagogic speech on the live TV screen, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Thinking of some recent comments within the family, he was also wavering in his heart.

Because from the beginning, he knew that he had to go down, but his daughter would definitely not be able to take over now, so he could only let his successor train his daughter through an exchange of interests.

Originally, Lao Du was more optimistic about the heir to the Marcus family.

But now the situation has changed again, and Garfield Fernando's recent performance has been very strong.

The Fernando family and the Lopez family have expressed support for Garfield, and the Tusun family's attitude is also somewhat ambiguous. Even a large part of their own family is leaning towards Garfield.

The remaining Aquino-Xu alliance does not have a good relationship with the Marcus family. The Ayala family may support the Marcus family.

As a result, among the five major families, Marcus accounts for the second, and Garfield also accounts for the second.

The key now is the Dutt family, the Aquino-Xu family alliance, the Tusun family, the Chen family, etc.

In particular, his choice of the Aquino-Xu alliance will directly affect the outcome, which is what makes Lao Du very entangled.

But when he saw the Southern Luzon revitalization plan submitted by Garfield a few days ago, his face showed a hint of determination.

This plan is too tempting.

If it can really be completed, even if it was not promoted by Lao Du, it was started during his tenure, which will definitely make him famous in history.

The entire southern Luzon revitalization plan is very large, including the construction of 8 cross-sea bridges to connect Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Although in Lao Du's view, this was simply bragging.

But at least the first phase of the project has begun, and some are even under construction.

The first phase of the project includes the San Bernardino Strait Cross-sea Bridge (total length 37 kilometers), Negros Central Valley Railway (total length 54 kilometers), Samar West Coast Railway (total length 236 kilometers), Lu There are 5 branches of Songdao Southern Railway (273 kilometers in total).

And improve the infrastructure of 15 cities, including garbage treatment plants, water plants, gas pipeline networks, urban roads, urban light rail, and underground pipe gallery systems.

For 75 towns, corresponding township roads, docks, and logistics centers will be built.

This plan seems very crazy, but Lao Du knows that the other party is serious. At least the Fernando family and the Lopez family are fully supporting this plan, and they have all used many of their families’ assets hidden overseas.

Many people from the Tusun family, his own Dutt family, and even the Xu family were also involved.

With such a huge capital investment, no wonder Garfield dared to recruit 30,000 employees in Manila. Obviously Coral Construction Company can fully absorb such a large number of laborers.

Anyway, it was not his own money. Lao Du quickly figured it out and fully supported Garfield.

…

After Garfield gave five consecutive street speeches in Fengdu District, as soon as he returned home, he received the relevant documents for the approval of the plan.

"It seems that he made the right choice."

Guo Liyan, the web manager responsible for assisting Garfield, shrugged:

"The general trend is that even if he doesn't agree, nothing can be changed. We just don't want to embarrass him too much. Now it seems that he is indeed a smart man."

Garfield shook the red wine glass: "We still can't take it lightly. The Marcus family has many connections in America. Our recent behavior has made the people behind ABCD very unhappy."

"They will soon be too busy to take care of themselves. How can they still have time to care about such things? How arrogant!" Guo Liyan sneered.

Suddenly a soldier walked in and handed an earplug storage device to Garfield.

Garfield knew that this was the headquarters' special way of transmitting information, and quickly put the earplugs into his ears. The optical signal connector of the earplugs was directly connected to the biochip in the brain.

Garfield, who closed his eyes to read the information, opened his eyes after a while and showed a smile.

When Guo Liyan saw his expression, he knew it was something good: "What's the good thing?"

"See for yourself!" After saying that, Garfield took out the earplugs and handed them over.

Guo Liyan wiped the earplugs with a tissue and inserted them into his ears.

In order to reduce the possibility of leaks, spider web managers will not casually discuss issues that may leak secrets even in their own homes.

After going through his brain, Guo Liyan also looked happy: "It is indeed good news."

Neither of them said it clearly, but they felt more relaxed.

the next day.

The Human Resources Department of Homo Sapien Company quickly drove a dozen RVs converted from container trucks. Under the escort of the security guards of the back office department, together with some controlled gang members, they quickly held a job fair in Fengdu District.

We must know that the poor population in the entire Fengdu District is about 500,000 to 600,000, and there are 30,000 jobs, which can cover almost the vast majority of poor families.

The job fair was crowded with people. If the internal affairs department had not been prepared in advance and arranged for security and gang members, the scene might have been chaotic.

The subsidiaries of Homo sapiens do not have personnel rights. The recruitment and firing of employees are directly managed by the human resources department of the head office.

This is somewhat similar to labor dispatch. All employees are uniformly deployed by the human resources department of the head office.
