Summer 2010.
TPC Far East Headquarters.
Shen Yun, wearing an indigo uniform, stood in front of a floor-length mirror, carefully examining himself in the TPC director's uniform, and said with satisfaction:
"It fits quite well."
"My dear director, please stop being so conceited. We should go to the meeting." Karin sat back on the swivel chair, with her pair of white arms resting on the back of the chair. She looked at Shen Yun who was looking in the mirror and joked with a smile.
Now, several months have passed since the evil god disaster.
A month ago, Director Sawai publicly announced that he would step down as TPC director, recommended Shen Yun as the second-generation TPC director, and initiated a vote within TPC.
Passed unanimously without a doubt.
Of course, although Director Sawai has resigned from the position of director, he did not retreat to the second line. Instead, he served as a TPC consultant together with Tetsuji Yoshioka, who also resigned as the director of the Police Bureau.
Although Shen Yun had succeeded as TPC director a month ago, the transfer of power took quite a bit of time. Today was Shen Yun's first day as TPC director.
"I'm a director now, after all. I have to pay attention to my image." Shen Yun said as he sorted out the business plans on his desk. "Let's go, the new boss... Ugh, let's go to the meeting."
"Okay." Karen stood up from the swivel chair and followed Shen Yun to the meeting room.
"Director."
"Good morning, Director."
Along the way, the TPC staff who saw Shen Yun all took the initiative to greet Shen Yun.
Shen Yun also responded one by one with a smile.
Arriving at the conference room, Shen Yun naturally sat in the main seat, and Karen followed and sat on Shen Yun's right.
After all the TPC executives arrived, Shen Yun leaned forward, crossed his arms, and made Commander Ikari's classic sitting posture, saying:
"The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss the optimization and reform of the existing social system."
"Reform of the social system?"
"Yes, I call it the contribution point system."
"This is a plan for system reform. Please take a look." Shen Yun said, and then gave a look to Karen who was sitting next to him.
Kallen understood and distributed bound copies of the white paper to the TPC executives present.
For a moment, the only sound in the entire conference room was the rustling of pages turning.
Soon, Sawai, the current TPC consultant, took a quick look at the plan and hesitated, "Isn't this too radical?"
Although he was also attracted by the future scenes depicted in the plan, this plan was still too radical for today's society.
"I think it's a good idea. Humanity has just survived the disaster of civilization extinction and is in the process of rebuilding human civilization. Everything is in ruins and it's a good time to implement a new system. If we miss it, there will never be such a good opportunity again." Yoshioka said excitedly.
"I agree with Consultant Sawai's opinion. Director Shen's plan is too radical and does not take into account the existing social development at all." Iruma Hui put down the plan in his hand and echoed.
This business plan really scared her.
The plan begins with abolishing the existing monetary system and realizing public ownership of social resources and means of production, so that everyone can enjoy free food and housing and humans no longer have to worry about survival.
At the same time, we will mass-produce intelligent robots to replace humans in heavy labor, freeing humans from meaningless and repetitive labor.
The contribution point system mentioned by Shen Yun is also explained in the plan.
Simply put, the more a person contributes to society, the more contribution points he or she can get.
Contribution points can improve citizens' welfare and treatment. The more contribution points, the better the welfare and treatment.
A citizen who has not made any contribution to society can only enjoy a series of basic citizen benefits such as free artificially synthesized food, an 80-square-meter house, etc.
The more contribution points you have, the higher your benefits and treatment will be. For example, you can drive a luxury car, live in a villa of several hundred square meters, and have a Shumagia maid to take care of your daily life.
Let me ask you, between a capitalist and a scientist, who would you rather let ride in a luxury car, live in a big house, and eat steak?
The answer is obvious.
Capitalists are of no value to society; it is the labor of workers that truly creates value.
Under such a system, even workers and farmers can live in luxury houses and drive luxury cars as long as they have enough contribution points.
Some people may ask, how do workers and farmers get contribution points?
It's very simple, as long as everyone does their job and does their own work well.
Workers are not exploited by capitalists and can fully benefit from their own labor.
Farmers don’t need to worry about whether they make money after growing crops. As long as they hand in the crops, they can get corresponding contribution points after calculation by Kallen.
In addition to abolishing the monetary system, Shen Yun also isolated the possibility of humans touching power in his plan.
For example, judges will be intelligent robots, and there will be no such outrageous existence as caring older sisters.
Although Iruma Kei is very moved by the beautiful future depicted in the plan, she does not believe that current humans are capable of achieving it.
Today's human beings should move forward step by step. Perhaps one day in the future, their descendants will be able to see this day come.
"Captain Jujian, you're worrying too much. Since I've proposed a solution, there's naturally a way to solve it." Shen Yun smiled slightly, turned to look at Karen beside him, and said, "Karen, let me show you my newly invented free food making machine."
"Yes~" Kallen stood up, her eyes slightly lit up, with streams of data flowing in them.
Immediately afterwards, a light blue virtual image appeared in the center of the conference table.
"The free food maker can use sunlight, water, and trace elements in the air to cultivate high-protein green algae. The high-protein green algae can then be synthesized to create food with any appearance and taste that meets the nutritional needs of the human body." Karin explained while operating the virtual image to demonstrate the functions of the free food maker to the TPC executives.
"This... is simply unbelievable!" Sawai looked at the virtual image in front of him and his eyes widened.
"With this kind of machine, the system proposed by the director may not be impossible to implement." Yoshioka said excitedly.
"At present, the output of the free food making machine is not high. I plan to carry out a pilot program in Japan first. If there is no problem, I will implement it on a full scale." Shen Yun said.
"It should be so." Sawai nodded slightly with a relieved smile on his face.
"I'll leave the matter of system reform to you all," Shen Yun said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
