This Lord is Very Scientific

Chapter 924 856: Pan-Naseng's Transportation and Education System

"Additionally, Bald Jack has dealt with several large cross-power corporations."Watson continued to report and gestured for the two standing interns to sit down.

Evan had already recovered by this time, sat down immediately, and then pulled out his phone to start typing notes.

Li Mei did the same.

Both knew that being able to sit in on this "super-large meeting" already allowed them to learn a lot.

Not to mention they could keep records, and in observing the current situation, might even have the opportunity to ask questions and provide answers.

On some secondary planes, this would be considered a vast divine grace!

And now, Evan and Li Mei focused intently, recording the conversation between Lin Ke and Watson.

They had a keen sense of awareness, knowing that no one was taking minutes of the meeting, so they proactively assumed this role.

"...These cross-power corporations have already formed what the Young Master described in 'Lord Theory' as capital, and they disregard the orders of the alliance, pretending to comply while acting otherwise."

Watson's voice turned cold: "The chairmen and CEOs of several companies were killed, including a fifteenth-level CEO from the Emperor Penguin Sea Transport Trade Group, suspected of attempting to obstruct land transportation development."

"Hmm, you did the right thing."

Lin Ke nodded in affirmation: "What Pan-Naseng alliance focuses on is overall development, not money, even if the alliance's cash reserve is zero, as long as the citizens under the alliance can have improved lives, it is worth it."

The conflict between capital and the alliance lies here.

Capital is driven by capital interests, and even the professionals within are guided by it.

Wherever profits lie, capital flows into that domain.

Fortunately, Pan-Naseng fate alliance is not controlled by capitalists, currently the highest level capitalist is Bald Jack, only at level fourteen.

Of course, Bald Jack is well aware of his limitations.

As a follower of Lin Ke, he is already in a high position, capable of representing certain interest groups.

At this time, level does not matter anymore.

Pan-Naseng would never allow a conglomerate to place its interests above the fate of Pan-Naseng, which means a capitalist above level fifteen will not appear.

However, Bald Jack, who holds a dual role as chairman, can further his steps in the future.

"Right." Watson nodded: "However, for some companies vying for policy support from Great Wilderness City under the banners of 'livelihood' and 'development'..."

"Then give them support."

Lin Ke replied solemnly: "We can deny motivations but can't deny actions, regardless of what they intend to gain from it, as long as they can do practical things for the wellbeing of the populace driven by their interests."

Expecting everyone to nobly make contributions for the citizens beneath the Pan-Naseng alliance is impossible.

Therefore, we must allow those driven by interests because fulfilling their own interests indirectly benefits the populace.

"I see now." Enlightenment flashed in Watson's eyes.

"But still, we must maintain balance," Lin Ke cautioned: "Especially the forces of the Financial Goddess and the Goddess of Wealth, they must be regulated by Pan-Naseng's fate bank; capital cannot stand at the highest point."

Lin Ke has actually learned from thoughts of a previous life.

In some places, it took decades to build a high-speed rail, yet capitalists' assets triumph globally.

Why?

Because high-speed rails don't make money!

Who will build them?

Capital has always flown into lucrative domains, whether advancing war or not.

But Pan-Naseng?

Lin Ke doesn't want Pan-Naseng to become that way.

Pan-Naseng fate alliance has always been about the collective, not a few individuals.

No matter how poor some regions are, they must strive to build roads.

Moreover, they should ensure educational accessibility.

No distinctions like elite schools or black schools exist here.

However, spreading education?

Pan-Naseng must have it!

Thinking of this, Lin Ke inquired about the current state of education in Pan-Naseng.

"Education..." Watson sighed: "Currently, educational expenses have reached around fifty percent of the alliance's budget..."

"Fifty..."

Lin Ke couldn't help but fall silent.

This expense is so high...

"But even so, many races still clamor," Watson frowned as he mentioned it: "Some still believe that Great Wilderness University is only for the wealthy and think Great Wilderness City households have an advantage, which is unfair."

"Understandable," Lin Ke acknowledged: "But our education must continue, whether it's the Fox Race or the Black and White Race, whether it's the Frost Wolf or the Phoenix, as long as their scores meet Great Wilderness University's standards, they must be eagerly recruited."

"Yes, that's how we are," Watson sighed: "Unfortunately, many do not realize we want complete fairness too, but it's too difficult..."

"Indeed."

Lin Ke shook his head.

Absolute educational fairness?

Is it overindulging?

Education is originally about screening individuals with different talents, allowing them to reach the highest institution through showcasing their talents.

If you excel in magic, science, or magic research, fields most needed by Pan-Naseng, then you can naturally attend Great Wilderness University.

But if you don't have talent?

You can still enter a university through effort, such as Sun University at the Holy Life Alliance, and graduate for a decent job.

But if you see unfair incidents and go on to attack the entire Pan-Naseng education system's unfairness?

In Lin Ke's view, in a previous life, there was still such a saying, but in Pan-Naseng, there is only stupidity.

"If only we returned thirty years ago..." A cold light flashed in Watson's eyes.

Thirty years ago?

Pan-Naseng was entirely under noble education eras, where farmers and artisans' children for generations were bound to remain in those professions, with no chance of becoming nobility.

"Many are indeed too stupid!" Even Evan couldn't help but speak up.

In the grassroots of Pan-Naseng City Hall, he most understands that some people are even more foolish than fishmen.

Seeing the intern speaking up, Lin Ke chuckled: "I remember you were a farmer's child, right?"

"Yes, Lord Lin Ke." With everyone shifting their gaze, Evan knew he spoke out of excitement too much, blushing: "I enrolled through Great Wilderness City's general education, and now can work."

"Very good." Lin Ke encouraged: "Keep it up, change your fate."

Evan is an example.

As long as you are willing to study, at least a university is attainable.

Nowadays, Pan-Naseng is highly competitive because every race has geniuses, with initial population statistics likely reaching a terrifying several hundred billion.

In such circumstances, only a few universities exist, naturally entering requires intense competition.

This leads to various conspiracy theories, believing only Great Wilderness City officials and rich offspring can enroll.

However, that is not the case.

Simply put, these people have more foresight, more time and energy, hence understanding the importance of children's education.

They willingly invest time, energy, and money into providing good environments and conditions for offspring; it is quite natural and unquestionable.

But in the eyes of some, their own poverty and life burdens mean others must be the same, otherwise it's unfair.

These individuals never consider the sacrifices their parents made, nor attempt like Evan to effortfully become "enviable parents" and provide good conditions for their offspring.

They just wallow in the gutter, using their phones to indiscriminately vent their twisted jealousy.

Reflecting on this, Lin Ke suddenly paused:

"By the way, what's the mobile phone penetration rate?"
