Chapter 331 We can’t openly rob you
Those of you who have survived to the third year of the apocalypse have all experienced a lot. Some of you were even multi-millionaires or billionaires before the apocalypse. When the apocalypse came, many people knew how much supplies the government forcibly requisitioned.
Some of the famous tycoons before the end of the world seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, while some disappeared for a while and then re-entered the circle and became more and more successful. However, no one mentioned the period of disappearance and the disappearance of some friends, as if everyone had reached a consensus.
The reason these people can get better and better is that they cling closely to the government.
But anyone with a discerning eye can find out through channels that if someone has too much food, supplies or scarce items, they may be confiscated by the government. Even though the richest energy tycoons in Wucheng are on the same side as the government, these people are probably forced, so no one dares to appear too wealthy.
The man in the suit wiped the pen and the sign with a handkerchief, thinking about something slowly.
The fat police officer stood up and patted the first old man who was in a trance. While demonstrating, he shouted, "Write down how much money you can donate!"
"What are you writing?" the old man was called and asked in confusion.
"Write down how much money you have!" the fat officer shouted.
"How much is what?"
"Write!" This time the fat police officer yelled into the old man's ear.
"What to write?" The old man opened his eyes and gestured with a pen.
"How much money!"
"Oh, how much money did you say?"
Everyone: “…”
The fat police officer's face turned red. He simply wrote 1 million on the old man's sign in front of everyone, and then stood on the sign. When everyone saw 3 million, they couldn't help but gasp.
What does three million mean? This isn't the three million RMB before the apocalypse, but the three million RMB that can be exchanged for food and supplies after the apocalypse. It can also buy thousands of guns, including cannons and rocket launchers. Even armed helicopters that cost tens of millions before the apocalypse may only cost this much after the apocalypse.
At this time, someone asked about the topic just now, "What did you say would happen if the last person consumed?"
The fat officer poked the motionless thin officer, who suddenly woke up as if from a nap and said, "Oh, in order to train everyone's enthusiasm and contribute to the people, last place is a very good reward and honor."
Hearing this, most people breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing, as they thought they would have to die here if they didn’t consume anything today.
But Jingshu held her breath. These two old guys were very bad. One played the good guy and the other played the bad guy. If they didn't make a fortune from this group of people today, she would be called Shujing from now on!
The fat officer returned to his seat, leaning against the chair with his legs apart, and said with a smile, "This honor means you will be the Honorary President of the Wucheng Donation Association. This will be recorded in the files, and you will be directly promoted to a government civil servant. The usual treatment is also very good. There are many people who want to squeeze in, but they can't. Just look at how lucky you are."
Jingshu raised her eyebrows. Why not give such a good thing to the first place but to the last place?
There was a commotion and confusion on the field.
The fat officer praised the position to the skies, making many people think that being last in line wasn't bad at all. But then the thin officer said, "The responsibilities are simple. We need to bring in a million dollars worth of donated materials every month. If we don't have enough, we have to make up for it ourselves. If we can't make up for it, there's nothing we can do. After all, we can't force people to donate, right?"
When everyone heard that they needed to get more people to donate supplies, they felt worried, but when they heard the fat police officer finally say that there was no other way, they slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The thin officer continued, "We can only deduct their credit points and put them on the big data blacklist. We'll delete their ID number, phone number, and all other communications. From now on, big data will block this person. They won't be able to use the platform for transactions, chat, or purchases, and they won't be protected by the law."
In today's era where even money is virtual currency, this is simply putting a person under house arrest.
He planned to bring his own son with him whenever he went out to pay for the bills, and even deprived him of the chat function. If he didn't have someone with him at all times, no one would know if he was killed.
Not to mention that some of you here are businessmen, and this is even more unacceptable to you.
Everyone's face looked extremely ugly at that moment.
Jingshu's face also looked very ugly. If she was really deprived of the trading function, it wouldn't matter if she didn't have virtual currency, but many functions would be gone, and she would really be suffocated, and it would be very inconvenient to do many things.
"Officer, I don't want to do anything that would break my promise, but I don't want to be the honorary president either."
The fat police officer smiled kindly and said, "Then I hope you don't end up last."
"Officer Yan, I'm the administrative director of Lingshan District. You guys can handle this kind of thing. Don't bring me along. I have more important things to do."
The fat police officer waved his hand and said, "Come on, sit down. Don't worry, other districts are all organizing this fundraising meeting. No one can be left out, and no one can escape. If you have anything to do, you'd better wait until we finish fundraising. There's still time."
The administrative director of Lingshan District sat down anxiously.
Then the lady in mink clothes stood up and walked out. "This fundraising has to be voluntary, right? Didn't we agree to do a questionnaire? Why are we being forced to donate now? I just filmed a video and I need to expose it to others. Why are we, the consumers, being forced to donate?"
The fat police officer smiled happily, "Go ask, ask carefully, and see if the honest netizens support us or you. See if they will receive the supplies raised from you, or if they would rather you not give a penny. Sit down, sister, isn't this fair? We're exchanging supplies for guns and bullets. Besides, this is indeed a questionnaire survey, isn't it? Isn't it to investigate how much supplies everyone has? The higher-ups can also come up with new prices, right? Don't worry, we are all civilized people, and we can't rob you openly, right? There's nothing to worry about."
The current government still tries to be reasonable and has a pretext for doing so. They will make up a reason to ask you to donate supplies, and even give you guns in exchange. Just be happy. But in the later period, when supplies are in serious shortage and tens of thousands of people starve to death every day, the government will not make up a reason to give you guns in exchange. Whoever has them will give them to you. They are so overbearing.
When I heard that the last person would receive the cruel punishment of honorary president, it would not be good enough if you didn't meet the standards, you would be directly entered into the file. If you don't meet the standards, it will be terrible. Big data will block you completely and you will not be able to do anything. What's the difference between this and taking someone's life.
