Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

he asked.

Xing Tian replied, "Li Jian is now the director of our agricultural workshop. Haha! He's truly an amazing figure. With him, our food problem has been solved!"

Zhang Yi nodded. He originally wanted to go and see the agricultural production there, but after thinking about it carefully, he had nothing good to ask Li Jian, so he gave up the idea.

In short, as long as the people here can live self-sufficiently, that would be the best outcome.

After a brief tour, Zhang Yi was very satisfied with the operation of the entire Qingpu base.

However, he still called Xing Tian aside and gave him some instructions.

"Qingpu Base is doing very well now, but there is something I must say."

"Old Xing, you should be aware of your own capabilities. Be careful about those below you taking over."

Xing Tian was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by taking over?"

Zhang Yi: "..."

He explained helplessly, "It means, be careful that the people under you are more capable than you and take your position in the future."

"In the past, people were struggling, so they were willing to hang around you. But now that life is back on track, people are becoming more ambitious."

"You're surrounded by talented people, and their abilities in conventional society surpass yours. You need to be careful about being deprived of power."

After listening to this, Xing Tian nodded thoughtfully, and his expression became serious.

"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense. Now that I have Ma Wenzheng and the others, I rarely take care of factory affairs on weekdays. I thought it would be easier this way."

"But if this keeps going on, I might just end up being sidelined. Ah, Zhang Yi, you're so smart! Why didn't I think of that?"

He slapped his forehead and his eyes lit up.

Zhang Yi shrugged: "This is why I have always been reluctant to take care of your three major bases."

People are more valuable in having self-knowledge.

Zhang Yi is cautious and prudent, but does not have the ability to manage a large organization.

Even if he could manage, he didn't like wasting his time dealing with trivial matters and playing power games with his subordinates.

Therefore, he just wanted to take good care of the one and a half acres of land in his family.

Xing Tian is not as good as him. Judging from the situation, it is almost certain that he will be sidelined in the future.

Only then did Zhang Yi give him some advice.

Xing Tian hesitated for a while and asked Zhang Yi, "But Ma Wenzheng and the others are really powerful. They manage the base very well. I can't drive them away!"

Zhang Yi said calmly, "This is simple. We can't let one person dominate the base. Train one or two more people, let them compete with each other, and gradually weaken Ma Wenzheng's influence."

"And you need to hold regular meetings with the people in the base to demonstrate your authority. Anyway, your military strength is there, and they can't cause much trouble."

Xing Tian listened and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say! I'll let Ma Wenzheng take a few days off, and then find someone else to do his job."

Zhang Yi nodded.

"You do this first. But Ma Wenzheng must be very popular now. If you ask him to step down, it may cause dissatisfaction among the people below."

"If something goes wrong, or if your replacements don't do their job well, you should step up and deal with them. Then, you can appease Ma Wenzheng and let him continue working."

Xing Tian nodded repeatedly and carefully took what Zhang Yi said into his mind.

"That's all I can tell you. If you can't manage yourself, I can't do anything about it. It depends on how much you can understand."

Zhang Yi said that he generally would not interfere in the operations of the three major bases.

If Xing Tian fails to manage the Qingpo base well, he will be replaced by others sooner or later.

At that time, Zhang Yi will not stand up to defend Xing Tian.

All he needed was someone to keep the base running smoothly. It didn't matter to Zhang Yi who that person was.
