Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1226: 702: Wagering the Reputation of the Knight Organization

Countdown to return: 40:00:00.

From early morning, a strange topic suddenly appeared online: “Opportunities abound in City 10, promotions and salary increases are a given.”

This topic simultaneously appeared on three social media platforms: “Link”, “Nebula”, and “OneThreeFiveSeven”.

Some said that since so many people left City 10, the vacant positions are open opportunities.

Topics like these kept flooding the feeds, affecting many people’s moods.

In the lower three districts of various cities, families wielded iron rods as they guarded the homes of the paid posters, directing them to operate in groups.

In the conference room of City 10’s Garrison Forces, Qing Chen looked at the legislators before him: “Alright, what should the next online topic be to attract people?”

One legislator immediately raised his hand: “Housing prices! We absolutely have to talk about housing prices!”

“Hmm?” Qing Chen looked over.

The legislator said: “There were too many casualties in City 10. Even before the disaster, the housing vacancy rate was a horrifying 30%. In the lower three districts, the poor squeeze eight people into 15 square meters, while some big figures in the Upper Three Districts might own a hundred properties. Housing prices are not only a pain point for the common people but also for the elite class just graduating from college and the high-income middle class.”

This legislator hurriedly said: “We’ve already nationalized the real estate in City 10, and can launch many affordable rental houses in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Districts to attract talent. As long as they strive to settle down, they can qualify for low-cost home purchases, and some top-tier talents can even receive a free property in the political center. This essentially increases the incentive to settle here. We’ll address the pain points of the public with the most favorable conditions, surely attracting many emerging top-tier talents.”

City 10, as the political center, has better greenery and living environment compared to other cities.

In fact, even without talent introduction policies, profits can be made from the controlled properties.

But Qing Chen’s vision is beyond that; he hopes this place becomes the engine for the Parents’ Meeting and Daylight, rather than a paradise for the rich.

Therefore, previous proposals by legislators to create a gambling city and sell properties were all vetoed by him, with a re-emphasis on his strategy: We need talent!

And the efficiency must be high!

Qing Chen looked at the legislator: “Very good! Qing Ye, give this legislator a cappuccino! Come, everyone start writing scripts! The scripts must be outstanding!”

The legislators wrote vigorously, even finding the spirit of their younger days in the classroom.

These legislators are the best of the best, either graduates in philosophy or law, all top students in the university.

Moreover, they are the most skilled at manipulating public sentiment. During each election, they would go to their electoral districts, identify the residents’ concern points, promise to solve these problems, and then gain votes.

Each has excellent eloquence, able to twist facts, and is most adept at finding catchy points, stirring public sentiment, manipulating matters.

So now, Qing Chen invited them over to help create scripts for the paid posters, who would then flood the internet with them.

As for the paid posters’ rewards, the Parents’ Meeting could waive their protection fee for three months, which is much better than earning pocket money with the paid poster company…

Outside this Garrison Camp, no one would imagine that the Federation’s most prestigious legislators have intersected with paid posters, becoming the brains behind them.

Very hardcore indeed.

Online, the paid poster companies of Jindai and Deer Island only felt that today those paid poster accounts had reached unprecedented levels of sharpness in their rhetoric, writing, and argument, far surpassing the usual.

And it’s not just about writing scripts; here the President also leads officials from the Business Committee, Agriculture Committee, and Education Committee to turn the pain points proposed by legislators into city management drafts and bills…

Then, they are promoted by traffic stars to the media, sparking discussions.

This is practically a whole industry chain.

During break time, the President also lamented: Had the Federation had this level of work efficiency earlier, the financial conglomerates wouldn’t have risen.

The efficiency is extraordinarily high!

Qing Chen stood smiling at the front of the meeting room: “Okay, we’ve successfully hit the pain point of housing prices, topic popularity surged by 400%, thanks to everyone’s effort. Qing Ye, give all the legislators here a cigar. Everyone, enjoy the break outside later. Let’s continue, what should we tackle next?”

A legislator said: “Working hours!”

Qing Chen’s eyes lit up: “Come on, elaborate.”

“The draft amendment to the Labor Protection Law has always been on hold; we can totally bring it over for use,” the legislator said: “As long as our City 10 adopts an eight-hour workday, and extra hours must be compensated with overtime pay, surely many people will come, especially programmers!”

Someone said: “But companies will still demand them to work overtime.”

The legislator said: “That’s hard to avoid, but we can establish a Labor Inspection Brigade to ensure their social benefits and overtime pay!”

Qing Chen couldn’t help but sigh for City 10, now solely reliant on the contrasting situation of peers.

In other cities, many programmers, workers, and technical jobs often exceed 14 working hours without overtime pay.

Though City 10 can’t solve overtime problems in the short term, solving overtime pay alone can make its policies much better than other cities.
