Homo sapiens.

We ushered in the working group of the Demand Division.

Sen Shangqiang was busy receiving the supplies sent by the Lucia branch. When he heard that the head office sent someone over, he hurried to the airport.

Oki Airport was built with more than 100 containers, and only two runways were paved with quick-setting cement.

"Welcome everyone to the Whale Sea branch."

The young man at the head of the working group stretched out his hand: "Manager Sen, I'm very glad to meet you. I'm Lin Yingbo, the leader of the 3867 working group under the Demand Business Department."

"Demand department? New department?" Sen Shangqiang asked curiously.

Lin Yingbo nodded: "It has just been established, this is our scope of work."

Sen Shangqiang took the document and flipped through it, and soon knew what the job responsibilities of the demand department were.

The job responsibilities of this department are to be responsible for the demand feedback APP and demand database managed by the previous back office department.

At the same time, it is also necessary to conduct questionnaire surveys on all employees, and review the content of employee feedback, and select reasonable, achievable, and constructive feedback from them, and then provide data analysis conclusions for the production department, or provide feedback to other departments. Opinion.

Since the Whale Sea branch was just established, there is no submarine optical cable, only satellite communication, and it is inconvenient to conduct online questionnaires, so Lin Yingbo's team was sent here.

There are 50 people in their whole group.

After communicating with Mori Shangqiang, the work started immediately.

In the temporary housing area, thousands of container houses are placed together to form three-storey temporary houses.

When Lin Yingbo walked in, he found that there were many old people basking in the sun, but very few children.

He told his subordinates: "Start working!"

"Yes."

The employees of the demand business department present can speak both Japanese and English, so it is not difficult to communicate with these Dongying people.

Soon they were asking all kinds of questions to these old men and women.

The content of the inquiry includes: family situation, any difficulties, what needs to be purchased, evaluation of the management staff, satisfaction with the current life, and suggestions for the company.

The questions were asked in detail, basically covering personal information, family, life, work, society, hobbies, pursuits and ideals, suggestions and complaints.

This is actually an upgraded version of the previous demand feedback app.

Even if there were outrageous requests or weird content in the answers of these people, the investigators still recorded them truthfully.

Because truthful feedback of the real situation of employees is the most basic requirement of the demand department.

If it cannot reflect the real thoughts of employees, then there is no need for the demand department to exist.

If you do a satisfaction survey, but the only options in the result are [very satisfied], [somewhat satisfied], and [satisfied], then what kind of survey is there, and you can just make up your own.

Li Qingye hopes to hear the most authentic voices from employees, instead of blindly saying that the company is good.

Because he knows that there is no perfect thing in this world, everything has its advantages and disadvantages in stages, this is a fact that must be admitted.

During the operation of a system, there will always be some problems. As a programmer and administrator with the highest authority, Li Qingye is very sober. He needs to modify the program frequently to make the system more adaptable to the current situation.

Recently, in the process of checking various reports, Li Qingye found that the various investigations of the internal affairs department were still superficial and did not reflect the real thoughts of the employees.

Therefore, he directly divested the internal affairs department and part of the business of the internal affairs department, and re-established the demand department.

As a giant company, Homo sapiens has a certain lag in innovation and product optimization compared with the free market enterprise competition model due to its natural monopoly.

In order to solve this problem, Li Qingye introduced a special channel for free feedback from employees to guide the development and production of internal industries.

In the future, the demand business department will further refine, such as doing market research, product opinions, new demand research and so on.

The innovation and optimization of the free market, after all, has an upper limit.

Free demand is an upgraded version of the free market envisioned by Li Qingye, which can bring more comprehensive demand feedback, and can also prompt the production department to optimize products, design new products, and develop new technologies based on feedback.

Moreover, free demand has advantages that free markets do not have, that is, high efficiency, low waste, and high satisfaction.

After completely entering the stage of free demand, most of the products are equivalent to "private customization", and its products or services are exclusive customization for each individual's needs.

And the free market is not actually free.

After all, enterprises have innate advantages over customers. In order to make profits, enterprises can only produce some general-purpose products, which is destined to fail to meet everyone's needs.

At the same time, due to the inability to accurately obtain demand feedback from all customers, coupled with fierce market competition, enterprises will inevitably have situations such as overcapacity and undercapacity.

Overcapacity leads to waste of resources.

Insufficient production capacity will prevent customers from obtaining low-cost and sufficient products.

Only by entering the stage of free demand, the production department can produce products according to demand, can avoid waste of resources and insufficient production capacity.

Li Qingye needs the free demand of employees to provide innovation power for the production department of Homo sapiens.

He does not agree with market-only theory, and all theories have their rationality, but their rationality is not an eternal truth, but based on the environment at a specific stage.

For Homo sapiens companies that are now entering the stage of giant enterprises, the free market approach will not work at all.

Therefore, Li Qingye created a free demand to cooperate with the giant enterprise system.

Who dares to say that giant companies have no creativity in the future?

The free demand of 9.2 million Homo sapiens employees will provide a steady stream of creativity for Homo sapiens company's production department and scientific research department.

The so-called free market in Western economics cannot achieve this level.

This refined demand can at least inspire thousands of small industries.

Therefore, Li Qingye attaches great importance to the demand department, not only giving a quota of 150 million new human employees, but also giving them relatively large authority.

The purpose is to allow the demand business department to obtain as much real feedback from employees as possible, so that various new needs can be analyzed.

Lin Yingbo and others recorded each person's feedback in great detail, and then entered these feedbacks into each person's personal database.

The demand feedback app that has been updated will use big data to screen, then use supercomputing to analyze, and finally review, count, and evaluate manually.

After conducting an afternoon of investigation, their team investigated a total of 534 people.

In the temporary office, Lin Yingbo took a rough look at the keyword screening of big data.

"Low temperature, 372 occurrences... Poor sound insulation, 292 occurrences... Inconvenient movement, 224 occurrences..."

Sure enough, after a preliminary investigation, various problems became clear at a glance.

According to the priorities, Lin Yingbo sorted out 10 suggestions to Sen Shangqiang to facilitate the other party's next work arrangements.

The survey work of other regional branches is also proceeding in an orderly manner, not only online questionnaire surveys, but also offline door-to-door visits.

The more than 100 million employees in the demand department are not for decoration, but to continuously investigate the dynamic demand feedback of 9.2 million employees.

Chapter 378 Opening and Reclamation

4 month 1 day.

the other side of the earth.

On the east side of the Suez Canal in the Suez area, a canal parallel to the Suez Canal, has completed double-tracking and widening at this time.

Its length is slightly longer than the Suez Canal, with a single line width of 550 meters and a depth of 25 to 45 meters, which is enough to accommodate a 30-ton giant ship to pass through.

The opening of this canal immediately ushered in the patronage of a large number of large transport ships.

Although the Europa Commonwealth and the Gulf countries are very wary of Homo sapiens, the Second Suez Canal is really delicious. Not only is the navigation capability very good, but the navigation cost is also lower than the Suez Canal.

Although the Europa Consortium has reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom of Judah to build a brand new oil pipeline.

But with the speed of their infrastructure construction, even if they grit their teeth, it will take three to five years to complete. What's more, the Europa Consortium, the Kingdom of Judah, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia all have their own ghosts. It would be hell if the project could be implemented quickly.

As for the Dead Sea Canal built by America in the territory of Judah, it will also take at least four or five years, or even ten years.

Now the two Suez Canals are the lifeblood of maritime traffic in West Asia and Europe.

However, for Homo sapiens, the importance of the Second Suez Canal is actually not as important as the northern and southern canals in the Suez area.

After all, there is relatively little trade between Homo sapiens and the Europa Commonwealth.

If one day the Europa Consortium dares to compare blindly, the Homo sapiens company even dares to directly cut off the Suez Canal.

This is also the reason why the Europa Consortium is gnashing its teeth and also wants to engage in land oil pipelines, because Homo sapiens does not have much trade with the Europa Consortium, and the closure of the Suez Canal will not cause any loss to Homo Sapiens.

After Homo sapiens fully entered the Suez area, canal tolling is no longer a pillar industry.

Now the pillar industries in the Suez region are agriculture and minerals, textiles, aquaculture and trade centers in Northeast Africa.

Three new giant rhino canal-drilling ships have arrived in the Suez area. Except for two that are responsible for digging the Second Suez Canal and one that is digging the Southern Canal, the remaining two are digging seawater channels in the coastal plain of the Red Sea Province.

At present, the area of ​​seawater rice fields in the Red Sea Province has reached 42 hectares, a quarter of which have been transplanted.

Around Hongku Port.

Xu Yingcheng is leading the working group of the demand business department to the first reclamation point.

Along the seawater channel with a width of about 130 meters, the passenger ship sailed slowly towards the first reclamation point.

Kadir, the leader of the investigation team, looked at the endless rice fields on both sides of the river with a telescope. It was hard to imagine that four months ago, there were thousands of miles of yellow sand here.

Kadir turned his head and asked with a smile: "Manager Xu, there should be birds coming to eat rice here! Will it cause ecological problems?"

Leaning on the railing, Xu Yingcheng, who was chewing gum, shook his head: "Don't worry, we have set up pheromone expulsion devices around. Those birds will automatically stay away from here when they feel the stimulation of special pheromones."

"I see."

After speaking, Kadir continued to browse the surrounding scenery with the telescope.

Not far away, hundreds of large rice transplanters similar to hovercraft are working in the muddy seawater rice fields.

In order to supplement the organic matter in the soil here, a large amount of organic fertilizer will be added as the base fertilizer during the leveling process of the paddy field.

After each harvest, the cut straw will be sent to the organic fertilizer fermentation plant for fermentation, and then pulled back to the field to ensure that the organic matter content of the soil is maintained at a certain level.

As long as it enters the planting stage, the accumulation of organic matter in these paddy fields will soon enter a virtuous cycle.

About two and a half hours later.

The passenger ship came to the small pier of the first reclamation point.

This is actually one of the subsidiary towns of Hongku Port.

Coming down from the pier, Kadir saw neat houses and streets, as well as busy employees. This is a typical agricultural city.

The surrounding 8 hectares of rice fields and 2000 hectares of marine farms are all operated by this small city.

The population of the entire city is not large, it is a small town level, with a population of only about 8000, most of whom are employees of Haitian Agriculture.

Kadir turned his head: "Manager Xu, thanks for leading the way, we will get busy first."

"You're welcome, just drop by."

After Xu Yingcheng bid farewell to Kadir, he continued to take the passenger ship and headed north. The destination he was going to at this time was the second reclamation point.

At the same time, he is also thinking about the next arrangement.

Having canals is not enough, the canals are good for transporting goods, but the transport of passengers is too slow, which is not conducive to the strategy of the head office.

He looked at the rice field area with a dense river network, and the construction of surface highways and railways did not fit the situation here.

After all, it is impossible to build a 50-meter-high overhead bridge for every seawater channel!

So subway becomes the best choice.

This kind of large agricultural area will definitely be sparsely populated in the future, and the distance between each small town and the main city has become a problem that must be considered.

Why should we consider this question?

The reason is very simple, Homo sapiens company does not want to have township branches.

To some extent, townships are naturally closed, clan, exclusive, conservative, and corrupt.

If the traffic in each small town and main city is not resolved, no matter how good the employee mobility of Sapiens Company is, it will be difficult to curb the deterioration of the township branch.

Therefore, the problem must be solved fundamentally, that is, to destroy the isolated island characteristics of townships and make them integrate with the main city and become a block of the main city.

The Homo sapiens company is doing all it can to urbanize the locations of its branches in order to strangle the islands of villages and towns and avoid the concept of "locals" being formed due to long-term life in isolated islands.

Xu Yingcheng understood the concerns of the head office very well. It is human nature to hug a group for warmth, and he came from the Xu family in Luzon.

The existence of a large family has advantages and disadvantages.

There is no doubt that big families are more resistant to various disasters than ordinary people when they encounter a harsh living environment.

But the set within the big family sometimes leads to various problems, and even resists the company's management for the benefit of the family.
