The arrival of many new people in the future mining area has brought a lot of trouble to the base; after all, with more people comes more problems.
Fortunately, Chen Kaiming knew from the beginning that this kind of thing might happen, and the cooperation between the various departments was relatively smooth.
The chaos was completely eliminated in just about a week, and everyone stayed at their posts, filled with new hope for their current lives.
Although Lu Yuan wasn't particularly skilled in management, with Chen Kaiming's help, the entire mining area was running smoothly.
On this day, Hei Zi and Manager Du found Lu Yuan, but neither of them had a particularly pleasant expression on their faces, as if they had been stimulated in some way.
They gently knocked on Lu Yuan's door, and after Lu Yuan called out from inside, the two pushed the door open and came in.
Seeing the expressions on Hei Zi's and Manager Du's faces, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. So he put down his pen and asked, "What's wrong with you two? Your expressions seem a bit off."
Hei Zi poured himself a glass of water on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and then sat down angrily in the seat next to him.
"The inner city is absolutely outrageous now. They've taken over all the mines in the vicinity. This time, when I led a team to look for new mines, I found that all the mining areas around here have been occupied by them. They're just hogging the land without doing anything! What are these people trying to do?!"
Seeing Hei Zi's angry expression, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, what's there to worry about? If they want to take it, let them. There's plenty of land in the Rift Valley of District Five. If they want to take it, let them. The new mine is just a little further away from us. There's no need to get so angry. It's not worth it!"
"Brother, how can you be so tolerant? These guys are practically shitting on our necks, how can you just stand by and watch them take up space like that?"
"Hehe, we've already inspected all these plots of land. There aren't many that meet the requirements. They're just a few with relatively good quality mines, but the output isn't very high. Let them try to take them. We'll go find new mines, one step at a time. What's there to be afraid of!"
"Sigh, alright, since you have no objections, then I have even less objection. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters!" Hei Zi lit a cigarette listlessly, sat down on a chair to the side, and stopped talking.
Meanwhile, Manager Du, who was standing to the side, was somewhat uneasy. Looking at Lu Yuan's smiling face, he couldn't help but sigh.
"By the way, Supervisor Du, what brings you here today? Weren't you supposed to be going to the neighboring villages to recruit some workers? Why are you back so early?"
Manager Du's face immediately showed a hint of distress: "President Lu, we can't recruit anyone now. A notice has just been posted in the outer city, prohibiting anyone from the outer city from joining our Future Company. I went there today, but I didn't recruit a single person and was even turned away!"
Upon hearing Manager Du's words, Lu Yuan frowned deeply. He hadn't cared much about the land issue, but these people were even trying to thwart his recruitment plans. They were trying to put him in a deadly situation.
"President Lu, what should we do next? If we really can't find workers, it's basically impossible for us to support several mines with so many people."
After all, the number of workers has already been reduced, and most of the others are working in other departments. To maintain our normal mining output, we have no choice but to relocate workers from other departments to the mining area!
Lu Yuan nodded silently. He had already anticipated the consequences of this matter, but he hadn't expected Liu Tianhu to act so quickly.
"Don't rush things. Since they don't want us to expand, let's just hold onto this small piece of land for a while! We'll see what the situation is like after this period!"
Lu Yuan was also quite helpless about this situation. After all, Liu Tianhu had cut off their recruitment channels, so it was impossible to add new blood to the base. In this isolated place, Liu Tianhu had managed to control both the inner and outer cities, and Lu Yuan was completely powerless to do anything about it.
Hei Zi lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, looked up at Lu Yuan, and asked, "Lu Yuan, are we just going to stand by and watch?"
Lu Yuan shrugged: "Besides just watching, it seems like there really aren't any other good solutions!"
"These bastards, one day the riots in the inner city will overthrow their rule, and then they'll be in for a world of hurt!" Hei Zi said viciously.
Lu Yuan had heard about the riots in the inner city, but these unarmed civilians were basically doomed to die when faced with the garrison that was armed with nuclear weapons.
A serious riot broke out some time ago. During a fierce confrontation, Liu Tianhu ordered indiscriminate firing, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people in the inner city. This violent suppression directly quelled the riot in the inner city.
However, everyone knows that the current peace is only superficial, and that a greater crisis is brewing among the poor people in the inner and outer cities. They are just waiting for an opportunity, and once that opportunity arrives, Liu Tianhu's rule will definitely be severely affected, and may even be overthrown.
Meanwhile, Liu Tianhu was living a very carefree life in the inner city. The reason was simple: the amount of ore mined had increased significantly during this period, and the mining team, which originally consisted of only about a hundred people, had now grown to about two thousand people.
