Chapter 217: Contract that deprives freedom, refuses to sign
Wait until Su Qiankun and others return to Klippeburg.
Bronya: "Welcome back. I'm so embarrassed. You've been running around this city."
She didn't look very well, as if she hadn't rested for a long time.
Sanyueqi was a little worried: "Don't be so formal, Bronya. You sound a little weak... Are you okay?"
Bronya yawned, "I'm fine, it's just that I haven't rested for a while. There were too many emergencies."
"The company is moving very quickly. Now there are their people everywhere in Beloberg, and they all say the same thing: 'asset evaluation.'"
"But apart from the large mining area you mentioned, there have been no violent conflicts in other places. This is probably because Topa has issued an order not to allow them to harass the citizens at will."
"But this did not stop the panic from building up in people's hearts. Everyone was a little overwhelmed, not knowing where the strange men in black came from and what their purpose was."
March 7 asked: "Did you get in touch with Topa again? We are actually very curious about what solution she provided?"
Bronya: "Well, I asked you all to come here just to hear your opinions. Look, this is a "contract" that Topa sent me not long ago, and there is also her handwritten letter attached below."
"Please read the above content first, and then tell me what you think."
Here is what the letter says:
Miss Bronya, please allow me to use this intimate title in the following text - next, I would like to tell you a story about myself.
Those company employees who seem unkind in your eyes actually have their own life trajectories.
Take myself as an example. I was born on an inconspicuous planet at the edge of the Milky Way, and its name is almost unknown to anyone except the natives.......
My home planet is very short of resources. In order to survive, the residents have to sell a lot of labor and engage in OEM jobs for other civilizations in the stars - mostly in the chemical industry or heavy industry.
Against this backdrop, the natural environment of the home planet was becoming increasingly harsh. I don’t know when in my childhood people had to wear breathing masks to walk on the streets, and from morning till night I could hear the heart-wrenching coughs.
Soon, my hometown came to an end. The relatively wealthy people chose to emigrate to the stars and start a new life; the majority of people who stayed could only linger in the company of sewage, acid rain and smog, waiting for despair to approach.
Until one day, the company came to my home planet and brought a complete set of advanced environmental transformation solutions. In exchange, they asked every resident on the planet to sign a contract and become - or become - an employee of the company in the future.
Two years after the contract was signed, the dark clouds and haze disappeared, and people began to take off their masks; three years later, vegetation and trees began to grow and flourish again; five years later, many animals that had once been extinct reappeared in people's sight, alive and well.
It was also at that time that I reached the age to officially become a member of the "Strategic Investment Department". I witnessed the changes that my hometown had experienced with my own eyes, and I was determined to bring the same changes to many worlds in the galaxy that had similar experiences.
Miss Bronya, I write this letter with a sincere heart to explain something to you.
"Freedom" is a very precious treasure for people; but when making real choices, there are always things that will be given a higher value than it - such as "survival".
How many generations will it take for you to return to the embrace of the starry sky with only the hands of the Belobergs? Who can guarantee that every future guardian will be as prudent and open-minded as you? Who can assert that a disaster similar to the star core will not happen again?
I have secured the best solution for you. As long as you sign this contract, all debts owed by Beloberg can be written off. In addition, the company will set up a special team to support the reconstruction of Yalilo-6.
I understand that this would be an extremely difficult decision for you, as you would have to bear the fate of all the residents of Beloberg on your shoulders.
But because of this, I believe you will make the right decision, a decision that will truly benefit your people.
Read the letter and contract
March 7 said: "Topa's tone in the letter seems quite sincere."
Bronya said: "I think so too. She is right. This choice is indeed too difficult."
“The fate of this planet, the civilization it hosts, everything that has happened here and will happen here in the future… now all hangs on my fingertips.”
"This absolutely cannot and should not be a decision made by me alone."
Little Gray Hair: "We should collect everyone's opinions."
Bronya nodded: "You think the same as I do, which is a comfort to me. Thank you, Pioneer."
"Topa gave me a tight deadline. I guess she wanted me to make a decision quickly."
"I originally planned to organize all residents in the upper and lower districts to hold a referendum, but from the current time point of view, this road is probably blocked."
"I will immediately gather the builders of Klipperburg to discuss matters related to the signing of the contract. As for the civilian part... I would like to ask you to collect public opinion for me."
"You have a high reputation among the Beloberg people. They will definitely be willing to confide in you!"
Su Qiankun and others agreed.
Since the purpose is to help collect public opinion, we naturally have to take into account the feelings of residents in the upper and lower classes.
Some people oppose, some people support
The result was a tie. If Xi'er hadn't abstained in the end, it would have been hard to say...
When Su Qiankun brought everyone back to Klippeburg.
Seeing that Bronya was about to break the sand pot and sign the contract amid the noise of the city builders.
Su Qiankun said quickly: "Please wait a moment, Great Guardian, we have something to tell you!"
Bronya was stunned when she heard this, and her hand stopped in mid-air.
Su Qiankun continued: "I believe that after listening to this, you will have a deeper understanding of this contract and make the right judgment."
Bronya nodded: "Okay, Mr. Su, please go ahead."
Su Qiankun began to say: "Topa's plan can indeed help Beloberg overcome difficulties. But this is in exchange for the personal freedom of the entire Beloberg people."
"And Topa told you about her experience because in Topa's eyes, being acquired by the company is the only way for the Beloberg civilization to survive."
"I have to say that Topa and her home planet are lucky. But you have to understand that not everyone can be as lucky as Topa, and not all worlds that accept the company's conditions can be saved."
"What's more, it will take a long time to rebuild Beloberg. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems during the process, so there must be great risks involved."
Dan Heng added: "Qian Kun is right. The relevant company data shows that only 60% of the civilizations that received support from the company were able to recover."
March 7: "This does not sound very reliable."
Su Qiankun looked at Bronya and said, "We just analyzed the contents of the contract and told you the information that Topa didn't mention deliberately. This is fair to you."
"After all, the choice is still yours, Great Guardian."
Bronya suddenly realized and quickly made a choice: "I see, thank you for the information you provided. It allowed me to see the essence of this matter clearly."
"No matter how good the other party's promise is, this contract represents a gamble."
"As a leader, I absolutely cannot sign a contract to sell myself on behalf of all the people in this city just because I believe in the destiny of the stars!"
