Chapter 30. Disobedient children will beat their tails(1/2)
"who is it?"
Croissant looked around nervously, as if the person with malicious intentions was hiding nearby.
Zhou Jinru took her arm and told her not to be afraid. The other party obviously had another purpose in attacking their aircraft, and it was not a hostile idea.
Huang lowered his voice: "If someone really wants to harm the doctor, I will take him away."
Zhou Jinru couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you doing? We are guests in Jiaweier's hometown. We are not going deep into the enemy camp. Are there enemies all around?"
While several people were still discussing who the attacker was, the election among the four tribes officially began. They would select a candidate suitable to be the chief, and then choose one of the four people.
What Zhou Jinru didn't expect was that a trend called "democracy" began to spread among the primitive tribes, but this trend didn't seem to match the democracy in Colombia.
He remembered something that Gavel had said. There was a "democratic" election last year, but the four tribes all voted for him, each getting one vote. The result was a tie, and no chief was elected at all.
It is estimated that the Colombians who came to the rainforest to enjoy the wind never thought that their method of disturbing the area would be defeated by a group of simple tribesmen. The reason is that the tribesmen did not establish the basis of this theory.
"I guess it will be the same this year...wait, why did the banquet go over there?!"
Zhou Jinru's eyes widened. The girl from Dongguo opposite was looking at him helplessly. Huang beside him explained: "Yan defeated all the warriors of one of the tribes when she was separated, so she became their leader..."
"I think those Colombians are quite helpless, hahahaha..."
He lowered his head, covered his mouth, and laughed.
After a while, Gavel came back, followed by Temimi, whose eyes were red. I don't know how they communicated. The little fan girl wiped away her tears while tugging on the corner of her clothes.
"The election has officially begun!"
The leader of the Anaconda tribe, Zumama.
The leader of the Jiavir Will Tribe, Temimi.
Leader of Yinam Chamber of Commerce, Yan.
The leader of the flint tribe, Huang.
Zhou Jinru: "..."
What is the purpose of this, to set up their own business one by one?
Next to Croissant, there was a young woman with long white hair but dark skin who was yawning and watching the election with boredom.
"Hello, doctor from Rhode Island, I am the president of the Yinam Chamber of Commerce, just call me Yinam."
Jiaweier said unexpectedly: "Don't you like doing business? Why did you go to the election?"
Inam curled her lips: "It's boring. You have to find something to do for yourself. As for the election, it doesn't matter who becomes the chief. Sometimes it is more advantageous not to elect a chief."
"Why?"
"Because we are aliens, the situation of the Chamber of Commerce is better, but the Senran tribe, which likes to play with wrenches and hammers, is in more trouble. The tribes with strong traditional values cannot understand their behavior and will definitely jump out to challenge them."
Jiavir understood something: "You must be talking about the Fire Tribe."
Yi Namu said helplessly: "Business is business, and maintaining the stability of the rainforest is also very important. This land is not static, but some people are too radical and some are too conservative. There needs to be a buffer in between to avoid escalation of conflicts."
Zhou Jinru suddenly said: "Don't do business with those Colombians."
Inam said calmly: "I know they are not good people."
This woman seemed careless, but she actually saw the essence of the problem clearly. The role of the Inam Chamber of Commerce was to act as a buffer between the various tribes in the rainforest, and at the same time squeeze out the Colombians who tried to reach out.
"I find you an interesting person, Doctor from Rhode Island. Let's do another big business."
Zhou Jinru glanced at her: "What do you want?"
"Drugs, advanced medical treatments, and supporting services."
"I have a question."
"Speaking."
"Do you want to buy it or do it?"
Yi Namu's eyes were glazed over, and then he breathed out gently, with a formulaic smile on his face: "Is there any difference?"
"The difference is what you think."
This question has troubled countless capable people with lofty ideals. Due to the multiple influences of region, humanities, knowledge, economy, etc., the conclusions they can draw are also very different.
No matter what choice Inam makes, it is part of the trend of the times. Perhaps it will be added to textbooks in the future and become a headache for students to memorize.
"I have no idea!"
She no longer had that calm expression, and even had a bit of gritted teeth. Why did she ask such a tricky question on such an occasion? Shouldn't they find a quiet place to sit down and discuss it while drinking coffee?
What?
Zhou Jinru added: "You can think about it before answering me. Our aircraft is broken. It will take a few days to repair and test. You can come to me at any time."
In Zhou Jinru's eyes, Yi Namu is a person who faces choices in a complex environment. If he is placed in this position, he will also struggle.
Yi Namu took a few deep breaths to calm down her emotions, and said with a forced smile: "What do you want to do, and what do you want to get from this rainforest?"
"I want whatever you have. It can be materials, engineering teams, precious metals, or Originium ore. The last one requires a more complicated process."
"I...I remember that Rhode Island doesn't have its own source stone mine, right?"
Zhou Jinru nodded: "Indeed not, but it is still possible to find a few small veins and buy mining rights. This is an option, not a necessary condition."
The conditions he offered were quite attractive. In this rainforest, the most abundant resources are natural resources, and the most valuable ones are of course resources. As for manpower, hiring local people to open a processing station is a good choice.
As for how far several tribes can achieve, it is not something Zhou Jinru should consider.
The election is still going on. Fighting with fists in the past has become a thing of the past. Now it is a tribal-style democracy, that is, voting. All four tribes can cast one vote. Whoever gets the most votes will be elected as the chief.
Temimi was the first to raise her hand: "I choose Gavel!"
Jiaweier said in surprise: "Why did you choose me?"
Yan raised his chin: "I would also choose Jiaweier."
Needless to say, Huang, of course, was promoted to this position because she defeated Kemal, the first warrior of the Flint Tribe. In essence, the big cat did not want to be a leader at all.
Only Zumama's vote has not yet been cast, and Jiavir has already received three votes. He is a well-deserved chief, and his military power can convince all the tribes.
"I vote for Gavel."
Zumama made great determination.
She wants to leave the rainforest to find the real path. This rainforest still stays in place, and the times can no longer be decided by fists.
However, Gaviel was very angry. He flew up the steps of the temple and stood on a high place with his hands on his hips: "Did you make something wrong?!"
Temimi plucked up the courage and said loudly: "Nothing is wrong, Jiavir, you are our chief!"
"Yes, you are already the chief."
"All four votes went to you."
"Long live the Great Chief!!"
There were veins on Jiaweier's forehead, and he loudly said, "Shut up, everyone!"
There was a sudden silence around the temple, everyone was listening to her.
"First of all! I can't be the chief. I still have a job outside. I can't resign. The tribe can't live without me! I came back just because Temimi sent me a letter, not to be the chief!
If you want to elect a warchief, Temimi is very suitable. After I left, she managed the Will of the Wilds very well. Yes, it has been renamed Javier's Will now. If it doesn't work, you can choose another one. In short, I
You can’t be a great chief!”
Zhou Jinru was impressed. He thought that Jiaweier would choose to stay here after he became the chief. But now it seems that he has overthought it. He doesn't want to be the chief at all.
"But……"
Temimi almost cried.
After finally getting Giavir back, how could he watch her leave? It was obvious that he was planning to leave.
"No! Gavel, you can't leave!"
"ah?"
The big-tailed girl silently said sorry, then waved, and several crocodile men surrounded Zhou Jinru.
At this time, both Huang and Yan were in the process of electing, and Croissant and Yinanmu walked aside. Without even realizing it for a moment, the doctor fell into the hands of these tribesmen.
"You, you must be Jiaweier's boss, fire her quickly, otherwise, I won't be polite!"
Zhou Jinru slowly raised his hands to signal Keobei beside him not to act rashly for the time being. When the dramatic scene happened, it far exceeded his expectations.
"Temimi, it doesn't matter what I say. I'm just the director of the company. The big boss is someone else."
"Don't fool me. You are obviously in charge of personnel recruitment. Jiaweier told me that you go through your resume every day!"
Zhou Jinru: "..."
Is he looking for some fun and looking through his resume?
That's Kelsey's job, he is just a high-level tool man!
"I can't fire an employee, and Gavel works very seriously and has never had any major accidents."
