Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

When Xiaoyun and Yuqi arrived at the office, it was already ten o'clock.

Everyone were just sitting in the break room relaxing as most of the work were finished yesterday.

Xiaoyun and Yuqi walked over to the break room as Xiaoyun announces something.

"Good morning everyone. I'm here to announce that there a new group will be forming separate from the accounting job that you guys had been doing."

Everyone clapped as they were excited that they might have a new chance to move up the ladder in the office.

"You might be wonder what this group is going to be about. Well this group will be will be interacting with entrepreneur who want to start their own business. It will be the commercial section of this civilian department.

Now, who want to be in this new group? It will only need four people as of now. But we will expand it in the future. Maybe even as its own separate department." Xiaoyun finally finished explaining the announcement.

Almost everyone in the office raised their hand.

"The five people working in the booth, please lower your hand." Yuqi signaled them to lower it.

Now only fifteen remained.

"This job will require negotiation and sometime public speaking. As well as a lot of traveling from one place to another. This job may be physically taxing as cars are supplied." Yuqi added.

Almost everyone people immediately lowered their hand.

Xiaoyun pointed at the five who still remained raised.

"Well you five will be in the new group. Please transfer all your work to your peer and come to Yuqi's office." The two walked back inside the office and waited.

After ten minute, the five people finally walked inside.

"You guys can read this paper and tell me what you think about it. You go back to the office and come back when you are finish." Yuqi handed them the folder that has the entire plan written out.

The five left with the folder.

"What do you think they will say about the plan?" Yuqi asked.

"I don't know. Maybe its fine, or perhaps its too ambitious, or it can be too conservative. Who knows." Xiaoyun replied back.

"I guess we have to wait."

"Yeah."

After an hour later, the five finally returned back to the office.

"So what do you guys think?" Yuqi asked.

One of them who appeared to be the leader of the five stepped up and raised their concern.

"We think this is fine, however we're slightly worry that we are practically pouring money and supplies to the entrepreneur. We won't get any benefit from this.

Some of the jobs here doesn't create anything of value, like toy store, or an barbershop. Not to mention there's no taxes anywhere in this plan and we are giving them raw supplies and tools for them to use for half the store price."

The four of them nodded in agreement with her.

"Well to address your concern, this department group main focus isn't to make money. Rather its to keep people busy by creating new jobs. Even if it is just an service job rather than creating actual product.

You might be wondering why that would be necessary when we always can throw everyone to construction or in the farm. Well not everyone is fit for construction or farm. Also people is eventually going to get tired working there.

We need to diversify our economy, and the best way we have found is to let people come up with it. Rather than us trying to forcefully implement something that might not fit people's demand.

For example, that restaurant from yesterday is a perfect example. The owner was an early mover of the town who had enough money laying around to start a business himself.

Those people are exactly what we wanted. People who are willing to take risk. Your jobs is to find more people that have ideas and help to foster it.

From a single employer barbers to five man restaurants, or an group of people making cloths to whole supply line making firearms in a factories. Any of them could fit in this program.

Of course there will still be some limit as we will be approving what land they can use to build their business and asked the construction crew to help build it. Rather than running it out of an cabin." Yuqi stopped and took a break as she sip down a cup of water.

"Remember, this department group is not to make money, its to make jobs. Its okay to lose raw resources or investment when those people start their business and fail.

It's better have those goods and resources used rather than sitting in the storage room eating dirt. We had been trading with the outside traders for so many different resource yet we don't have a way to use them.

You guys see the issue I'm trying to address? You guys understand what I'm trying to do with this now?" Yuqi finally finish her long answer.

"Yes, we understand now." The leader of the five stepped back down.

"Well, good. Here's an box of food stamp and a letter of authorization to the storage room. You guys can perhaps write a letter and stamp it at the front of the billboard at the booth to try to encourage people to become entrepreneur.

Also, this is a long process, if you guys need people you can hire more. It going to be an slow start." Yuqi finish speaking as Xiaoyun lifted a box and the letter to one of them.

"Thank you boss." The five left the office.

"Whew, we finally done with that. Now we can finally relax." Xiaoyun stretched his back as he had been standing there the whole time.

"Yeah, we should be a lot more free now." Yuqi stretched out as well.

One hours later...

Someone knocked on the office again, Xiaoyun went to open it.

Yezi was standing outside with an entire folder.

"Huayi better had approved you." Xiaoyun warned.

"Don't worry, she already got all she wanted and approved me. I even got her to sign it at the front." Yezi shows the front document with her signature.

"Anyway iro——Yuqi, please read this and approve it." Yezi hands the folder to Yuqi's desk.

"You were about to call her iron lady weren't you?" Xiaoyun whispered to Yezi.

"Come on, that what everyone in the town calls her. I-I just accidentally almost slipped up." Yezi whispered back.

"Whatever, Yuqi let me help you read it." Xiaoyun walked over to Yuqi's side and started reading the paper inside the folder.

Thirty minutes later...

"Hm, seems fine to me. Rescue plan to bring more people to the town, sending group of three to scouting mission and all inside the city outskirt.

This is a good plan, we can definitely always use more people to maintain newcomer to work in construction and farm.

However this part where you request the bus, I can't allow you to do that. Just use a car instead, or even the RV." Xiaoyun suggested.

"But the car can only load like few people before its full, and the RV with its max speed will get destroy if it get noticed by a zombie horde." Yezi argued.

"Well, we need the bus for transportation for this massive town now. And we need your truck to transport the supplies from storage to the store. Maybe you can get another bus outside or get an van from outside while you are exploring." Yuqi argued back.

"Fine, we will just use your guys car then. That the only option left anyway." Yezi commented.

"Its all good. I had been walking to work the past few days." Xiaoyun disregarded it.

"Well then, this is approved. You can go to the booth downstairs to get the funding." Yuqi stamps the paper and handed back to Yezi.

"Thank you." Just as Yezi turned around and almost left, Xiaoyun suddenly stopped him.

"Wait, if you are now in outside affair focusing the city outskirt, who's trading?" Xiaoyun asked.

"I don't know. I'm now the military branch so that your problem now. You guys can make a separate department for that." Yezi left the room.

"Shit." Just as Xiaoyun was complaining, his phone ranged.

Xiaoyun picked up the phone and Yiming yelled through the phone.

"Xiaoyun! Where the hell is Yezi? There's an entire rows of car outside wanting to trade!"

"Yezi had shifted to outside rescue, so he doesn't do trade anymore."

"Then who the hell is suppose to trade with them? You want me to tell them to turn away?"

"No, I'll be right there to trade, just wait a second." Xiaoyun hung up the phone.

"Yuqi, can you make another plan for setting up an trade outpost or something. I'll go trade right now." Xiaoyun left the room before Yuqi can agree to it.

"Whatever... I guess more work for me." Yuqi grabbed several piece of paper and started working.
