Chapter 1814 Five Letters (Ⅰ)

After seeing the invitation letter sent by the Tauren, Mr. Hodge discussed with Gray Bird, Klein, Scholz, Gumoduo and other mining area backbones behind closed doors whether to participate in the survival competition.

Klein advises against participating.

The price for refusing to participate is nothing more than paying 3 pounds of magic crystals as a ransom for withdrawing from the competition. This amount of money is an unbearable burden for the small rock essence camp, but it is nothing for the Royal Mining Company with assets worth hundreds of millions. 3 pounds of magic crystals can be purchased for ten years, and this investment is worthwhile.

Gray Bird tends to support Klein's suggestion, but if Mr. Hodge decides to send a team to participate in a survival competition, she, as the security director of the mine, is obliged to be the first to sign up.

Scholz and Gumodo vehemently opposed Klein's proposal.

Scholz didn't have too many complicated ideas, but felt that it would be too timid to withdraw from the competition. As a middle-level cadre of a mining company, it would embarrass him. If the mining area forms a team to participate, he is willing to sign up.

Elder Gumoduo was more considerate and taught the young people a little life experience on the spot.

The underground world is a barren place where the weak and the strong prey on the strong, and the competition for survival is far more intense than the surface world. Otherwise, the "survival competition" and other extremely cruel gambling games that use the living space as a bet will not prevail.

Elder Gumoduo believes that if the Midgard mining area withdraws from the competition after receiving the invitation for the first time, revealing a cowardly mentality that is willing to "spend money to eliminate disasters", it will send a very dangerous signal to the outside world!

Those evil forces who bully the weak and fear the strong, know that the mining area is rich and afraid of causing trouble, like sharks smelling blood, will swarm to provoke troubles and force you to spend money to buy peace. In the long run, it will be like continuous blood loss. Drain the last drop of blood.

Elder Gumoduo advises Mr. Hodge, never try to spend money to buy peace.

In fact, spending money cannot buy peace, it will only attract more coveting and aggressive harassment.

If you don't want to be treated as a soft persimmon by villains, you can only fight hard against them. If you openly show your strength on the stage of "survival competition", the aborigines in the underground world will respect you and dare not provoke you easily. This is what you want. A long-term solution to peace.

Regardless of whether he is eloquent or serious, Elder Gu is the top spot in the Midgard mining area. After listening to his discussion, Gray Bird and Klein were deeply impressed, and immediately changed their views and agreed that they should participate in the competition .

However, Mr. Hodge was not persuaded by Elder Gu, pointing out that the rewards and punishments of the survival competition were not equal at all.

The reward for winning the championship may seem generous, but it is insignificant compared with the punishment suffered by the eliminated.

If the team selected by the mining area does not perform well and ranks at the bottom of the crane, then according to the rules of the game, Mr. Hodge will lose the entire mining area and the magic crystal veins with reserves of hundreds of millions of tons, and take tens of thousands of employees and slaves in the mining area to pack up and leave !

If you refuse to accept the punishment, it will provoke a joint siege from underground forces including drow, tauren, gray dwarf, stone giant, orc, snake man, troglodyte, kobold, etc. Whether it can be guaranteed or not, at least don't even think about starting work normally.

In connection with the close relationship between Magic Crystal Mining and the financial reform of the empire and even the financial lifeline, how can a professional manager like Nick Hodge afford the consequences of screwing up?

"A competition where the risks far outweigh the rewards is not even a gamble, it is essentially a scam!"

"If we know it's a scam and still fall for it, don't we become fools?"

Facing Mr. Hodge's incisive analysis with reason and evidence, even the eloquent Elder Gumoduo couldn't come up with a reason to refute it for a while.

At the end of the debate, it was Mr. Hodge who made the final decision and decided to spend money to buy peace. At least until the currency reform that the imperial government is currently promoting is successfully completed, maintaining stability is more important than anything else, and absolutely nothing can happen in his position!

Gray Bird did not fully agree with Mr. Hodge's point of view, but Mr. Hodge's decision made her secretly relieved.

The "Temple of Silence" also received an invitation letter on the same day. Since Mr. Hodge has decided to withdraw from the competition, she, the security director of the mining area, can take leave of absence and go home to represent "Temple of Silence" in the competition.

At the end of the letter, Gray Bird also revealed something to Joan.

She is a little hesitant now, whether to persuade Medea to give up the competition, after all, there are only her and Medea in the Hall of Silence, and they are still capable, and it is very difficult to gather a five-member team.

Although the Temple of Silence is not particularly rich, it can still afford 3 pounds of magic crystals. Instead of taking the huge risk of losing their home and participating in the survival competition, it is really better to spend money to buy peace.

Coincidentally, Joan had just finished reading Gray Bird's letter, and then received a letter from Elder Gumoduo.

In his letter, Elder Gumodo repeated Mr. Hodge's negative attitude towards the survival contest. Joan had already learned about this controversy in Gray Bird's letter, but Elder Gumodo also revealed the follow-up that was not mentioned in Gray Bird's letter. turning point.

Mr. Hodge insisted on paying the withdrawal ransom, and Gumoduo, Klein and Scholz were more or less disappointed with his decision. However, Mr. Hodge then made an unexpected suggestion, suggesting that the three of them You might as well represent the Yan Jing clan in the survival competition as a "foreign aid".

If Gumoduo and others can help the rock spirits tide over the difficulties, Robin Hood agrees to sell the ownership of his hair for the next ten years. This right will be shared by Gumoduo, Klein and Scholz. Mr. Hodge just Free of charge to help the two sides matchmaking.

Mr. Hodge's proposal really moved Gumoduo, but the old boggard man had to think twice about it. It was easy to finish the game successfully. What if it didn't go well and fell into the knockout zone?

Should foreign aid like them bear part of the price of failure?

Mr. Hodge's reply completely dispelled Gumoduo's worries.

If they did not perform well in the survival competition and failed to help the rock spirits keep their homeland, Robin Hood and Karaka would not complain about them, after all, they had tried their best.

On the other hand, Mr. Hodge also made a promise that the Midgard mining area will hire all rock spirits who have lost their homes as miners, provide them with dormitories where they can live, and pay them the same level of salary as human miners.

Of course, this promise is not only triggered when the game is lost. As long as the rock spirits are willing, they can sign a labor contract with the mining area at any time. The longer the contract period, the better the treatment, and even a part of the sentence can be reduced...

Seeing this, Joan understood.

The reason why Mr. Hodge enthusiastically recruited Gumoduo and others to cooperate with the rock spirits is that he wanted to recruit all the rock spirits under his command. In this way, the mining area would add 40 engineers with rich experience in prospecting and mining. To recruit engineers with the same level as rock spirits from outside, the salary must be at least 20 times that of ordinary miners!
