Players Invade Cyberpunk-Chapter 893 - 289: Hit or Miss!_2

Even with the same assembly line, the product quality varies with different workers.

However, because Horizon Corporation's financial flow is too transparent, and financial fraud, kickbacks, or material theft are impossible, some forms of gray income that exist in the industry don't work at Horizon Corporation.

And since workers' wages are equal pay for equal work, akin to a big pot meal, it's not exceptional compared to peers. Some skilled technicians, unable to earn more than mediocre ones, simply leave.

Even those whose skills aren't great initially, after training at Horizon Corporation and maturing their abilities, quite a few choose to jump ship.

Not everyone has the courage to step out of their comfort zone, learn new things, and change careers. Most people prefer familiar territories because they naturally lack a sense of security here.

There's also the issue of waste, as Horizon Corporation's factory tasks focus more on completing orders rather than efficiency, leading to significant waste problems in a planned economy under a market economy.

This waste isn't deliberate or intentional; it stems from players' lack of cost management awareness. All actions aim at fulfilling orders, hiring more if understaffed, endlessly using materials if skills are lacking.

Moreover, some technicians improved the production process, increasing assembly line efficiency by 1 or 2 points, significantly reducing production costs.

In any other company, a portion of this money would be theirs, but not at Horizon Corporation, because it's company money, not personal; savings also belong to the company.

Yet workers surely won't comply. Over time, only inept mediocrity will remain in the company; those with capability will leave.

This is similarly reflected in the logistics fleet.

The Henan people's solution is straightforward—establish a labor committee to reform employees' personal values and worldviews.

These issues stem from market economy liberalism educating people to pursue personal interests, leading to a lack of awareness of collective interests ＞ personal interests.

Corruption isn't related to personal morals or consciousness; it's a problem with the whole societal operation system.

They must recognize that reward is reward, and corruption is corruption; they cannot be confused.

Outstanding employees can have public commendations and subsidies from the committee, whether monetary or reputational, rather than always thinking of embezzling budgets or converting collective interests into personal assets.

But saying it is one thing, actually doing it is another.

The same old problem: where would Lin Miao find workers with such consciousness to form a committee?

Moreover, education may sound simple, but some people won't listen no matter how much you talk, merely seeing you as a fool.

After Lin Miao presented his problem, the Henan people weren't surprised. After their last discussion, they had a meeting and realized it was indeed a challenging barrier.

But the Killer Demon found a breakthrough at David's place.

Mewtwo.

Moreover, they have enough test subjects and sites—Dragon Field.

In the previous Chaotic Blade Association transformation project, Mewtwo demonstrated a strong ability to stir emotions.

But back then, the Killer Demon only saw it as scene simulation, hoping to rekindle the desire for a better future in people to make them abandon committing further evils.

Until David reminded him, Mewtwo is also a top creation surpassing all past entertainment products.

Using it could completely free people from dull preachy education, letting them personally experience revolutionary stories, others' lives, and strongly feel participants' emotions and consciousness, achieving a perfect balance between entertainment and education.

Instead of boring text on paper or preachy movies.

Especially when Arturo transformed his neighboring alcoholic Indian policeman into a teetotaler officer right before their eyes, the mental steel engraving-like power made their scalps tingle.

Thankfully, this thing can't change people's core views and consciousness; it merely triggers and magnifies existing thoughts; otherwise, it would be no different from brainwashing tools.

As Arturo said, you subconsciously know something is wrong with some things; no matter how you change, they remain unchangeable.

Like sitting before an assembly line and not being happy.

Quitting drinking is because that policeman knew deep down that drinking was wrong; he just couldn't quit through sheer willpower alone.

Water is not toxic.

After hearing the Henan people's introduction, Lin Miao was thoughtful, intrigued enough to pose his own question

"But here is Night City, in the United States, what kind of Mewtwo do you plan to use to educate these people?"

When core values and worldviews differ greatly, Mewtwo also proves ineffective; making Western University people experience Lord Dong's life is bound to find little resonance or understanding, minimizing Mewtwo's role.

The Henan people mentioned a term

"May Day Labor Day."

Since the first industrial revolution, sweatshop exploitation has been causing worker class resistance and opposition.

Factory overseers could proudly say they could turn an 18-year-old's hair white by age 22 on the line.

In 1886, over 350,000 workers from more than 20,000 companies in the United States struck and protested, demanding shorter hours and better treatment, leading to the famous "Eight-hour Workday" and later May Day Labor Day.
