Chen Han was holding a plan in his hand. According to the drilling plan, it would take about half a month to drill through the rock layer between the middle and upper layers.
However, some problems are bound to arise during the next two weeks, so give Lu Yuan more food. As long as it's enough for him to drill to the higher levels, he can leave once he's done so.
People in higher-ups might accept them after seeing them, so Chen Han held onto this idea and decided to have a good talk with Lu Yuan.
However, Lu Yuan did not think that way.
Because Chen Han is now planning to streamline his staff, this will increase the pressure on Lu Yuan. In fact, Lu Yuan is not very interested in these middle-level managers.
After all, with the population increasing by hundreds of thousands, the people in their own dimensional space will definitely have to tighten their belts and live a hard life again.
Although his dimensional space is quite large, the livestock issue remains a major problem. He raises hundreds of thousands of pigs, cattle, and sheep, as well as millions of chickens and ducks, and the daily consumption of these animals is enormous.
Moreover, although the area under grain cultivation is slowly expanding, it cannot keep up with the consumption of the population. There are already more than 6.5 million people in his dimensional space, and now with nearly a million more people coming, he is a little overwhelmed.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan immediately came up with a new plan.
"Chen Han, you've really got a good plan! You want to reduce the population to decrease your food consumption, right? But I'm sorry, I can't agree with your idea!"
Then, Lu Yuan continued, "How about this? I'll give you an idea! If you can do it, I can give you lots and lots of food! Enough to keep you eating until you leave the middle level!"
Chen Han was immediately shocked when he heard this.
"What? You're saying you'll give me enough food to leave? How is that possible? You couldn't possibly have that much food!"
"Believe it or not! Let me tell you my thoughts first! If you agree, we'll settle the payment and delivery on the spot! If you don't agree, you'll have to figure it out yourselves! I'm not actually in a particularly urgent need for nuclear fuel!"
Chen Han tried his best to calm himself down. He didn't know what kind of request Lu Yuan was going to make, but when he thought about how meticulous Lu Yuan was, Chen Han felt a sense of foreboding.
"Okay! Go ahead!"
Chen Han spoke quietly, but her right hand had already scratched the leather sofa, leaving several marks.
Lu Yuan said softly, "From now on, you'll be in charge of managing the middle-level staff! I'll have people help you with the drilling work! Of course, your management style will need to be changed! I'll assign you some leaders! These people will be responsible for conveying my instructions! If you have any ideas, you can bring them up! We'll have a meeting to discuss them then!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Han felt like her head was about to explode.
Lu Yuan intends to completely dismantle the power within the Long Group. Although the Long Group is currently in decline, it is not yet in a position to be dismantled immediately.
As the saying goes, "Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't fall down when it's dead," and "Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse." No matter how much the Long Group has declined, it was still a former leader among the middle management.
Once he agrees to Lu Yuan's suggestion, they will lose control over the entire middle management.
"No! I strongly disagree with your idea!"
Lu Yuan sneered, "Fine! Then let's wait and see who can hold out the longest!"
Then, Lu Yuan hung up the phone.
Chen Han looked at the busy tone on the phone in her hand, and her heart sank.
Lu Yuan's move was quite ruthless. If Lu Yuan's people were to infiltrate the management of the Long Group, the entire Long Group would be destroyed.
The reason why the Long Group has been able to reach its current size is because they have long occupied the middle level and controlled the things people need. However, now that the things people need are all in Lu Yuan's hands, they can no longer make any adjustments or defenses against Lu Yuan's control.
The only thing he can do now is accept Lu Yuan's conditions, but he really doesn't want to do that.
Long Yue would certainly not agree, nor would the entire upper management. After all, once their power is taken away, the middle management will no longer be under their control.
So, Chen Han sat quietly in the room and waited for a long time.
Meanwhile, Long Yue, who was sitting in the office next door, heard that Chen Han hadn't said a word for a long time, so she went over to take a look.
"Finished the call? How did it go? How did things turn out? Did Lu Yuan agree to give us the grain?"
Chen Han felt a series of sharp pains in her heart.
He then sighed and said to Long Yue, "The talks have fallen apart! Lu Yuan wants to dismantle the rule of our Long Group! He promised to give us enough food to last until we leave the middle management, but he demands that outsiders join us in managing everyone in the middle management!"
"What?"
Long Yue was shocked after hearing this. She stared at Chen Han for a long time before finally saying, "How dare he make such an outrageous request!"
"Alas! There's nothing we can do! They have food now! We have nothing! Everything edible has been eaten! We have no other choice!"
Long Yue suddenly felt a pang of hunger in her stomach.
She looked up at Chen Han: "What...what do we do next?"
