Lu Yuan nodded, then said softly, "How big of a problem is one yuan now? Does everyone have a concept of the value of things here?"
The person below continued, "Yes! For example, should one dollar be valued at the price of one kilogram of rice, or at the price of fifty grams of rice? We need to determine this. If we still follow the pre-apocalyptic requirements, then we need to determine the prices of goods!"
Lu Yuan was getting a headache listening to them. Although these people tried their best to make him understand what they were saying, Lu Yuan's mind was in a mess. After all, he had never received systematic training and was only a young man in his twenties. Where had he come from to be exposed to so many things?
What they mentioned about equivalent goods and exchange transactions left Lu Yuan somewhat dumbfounded.
"Um...you guys...why don't you come up with a plan first? I'll see which plan to use, and then we'll discuss it with the higher-ups, how about that?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After asking some other questions, such as the bank's setup and the anti-counterfeiting measures for printing various currencies, Lu Yuan decided to entrust the matter to them to handle the solution. In order to allow them to work with peace of mind, Lu Yuan specially asked Ye Hua to set up an office for them to handle this matter.
Ye Hua went to great lengths, setting up several offices and temporary accommodations for them nearby.
After settling everything, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He realized he had been too simplistic in his thinking. He hadn't expected a simple currency system to involve so many things. He had originally thought it was just a simple substitute, and that as long as anti-counterfeiting measures were implemented, there was nothing to worry about. However, the precautions raised by the experts made Lu Yuan realize that he had been too naive.
However, Lu Yuan was originally a decision-maker, and his personal involvement in these matters was like an outsider interfering in the affairs of those involved. Later, he realized that he only needed to nod and indicate which one was needed, and they could submit the proposals. As for some bugs, they could be dealt with later, since the development here was quite good.
Some minor drawbacks are acceptable, after all, the birth of a new city is always accompanied by all sorts of problems. Fortunately, they won't have problems with everything, since they are a civilized world that has survived the apocalypse, so they can think of all the problems that can be avoided.
Then, Lu Yuan followed Ye Hua back to his office.
Ye Hua pushed up his glasses and said, "Lu Yuan, there's actually another reason I called you here!"
Lu Yuan nodded and took a sip of tea. "Go ahead and say it!"
"Yes! Our city's infrastructure construction is currently underway at full speed, and everyone is doing a good job in their respective positions! We don't need to worry about that! But now is the most crucial time for us to select capable people!"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment. He put down his teacup and looked at Ye Hua, asking, "Why do you say that this is the time to select talent?"
"That's right! If we conduct the selection after the work is finished, some problems may arise, such as cheating, vote-rigging, or manipulating popularity. After all, we are all human, so this is understandable. However, there are several advantages to making the selection during the middle of the process!"
Then Ye Hua held up one finger and said, "The first benefit is that it prevents these people from having time to prepare to build up their goodwill, because their work is not yet finished. We can eliminate a large number of people who are just trying to take advantage of the situation!"
"Secondly, once our city takes off, these selected people can take up their posts directly. Before that, we can provide them with training and development so that they won't be unfamiliar with their roles when the city is established!"
Lu Yuan nodded with great satisfaction: "Hmm! Not bad! I didn't think of that. Your brain works better!"
Ye Hua smiled and continued, "There's a third point: this is when you come back. Because if you finish dealing with things outside next time, I estimate it will be too late! So I'm asking for your opinion in advance! After all, this is not a small matter! It requires your decision!"
Lu Yuan burst into laughter: "I'm afraid this is the question you care about most!"
"Yeah! Who told you to be so elusive! It's so hard for me to find you! Every time I hear you're here, I go to look for you, but you've already vanished!"
"Haha! Oh well! I'd love to stay here a little longer, but time doesn't allow it!"
"Now that you have time, let's see if this method works?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay! We'll do it your way! But we need to be careful about a few things. This thing can't be leaked! Otherwise, if people find out, some malicious people might try to sabotage it!"
"Yes! Don't worry about that! I haven't told anyone else about this yet! Oh, and also, your uncle and aunt..."
Lu Yuan waved his hand. He knew what Ye Hua meant. He wanted his parents and Xiao Shan's parents to be the candidates for this selection. However, Lu Yuan knew that they were definitely not cut out for it, except for Xiao Shan's father, who was somewhat interested in this area.
