Safety Issues

Immediately, Zhang Yi unconsciously clicked on various options in his mind. Just as he clicked on the Red Alert Engineer for the mechanical industry, he suddenly remembered that combat personnel didn't necessarily have to be professional combat personnel!

Wasn't the Red Alert Mechanical Industry Engineer he was clicking on now a combatant? Moreover, besides the Red Alert Engineers, there were many other Scholar combatants in the system who were also very strong, such as the Giant Race from before.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi immediately checked the hiring system to see which type of hiring had the lowest price. Soon, he found that the Scholar hiring price for the mining industry was the lowest, so he immediately clicked into it.

After Zhang Yi's selection, he chose five races in the system. These five races looked almost identical to humans or Chinese people, with virtually no difference.

These five races were the Yi Race, Xia Race, Ling Race, Jia Race, and the Human Race's Red Alert Mining Engineers.

Among them, for the factory's security personnel, Zhang Yi still leaned towards the Red Alert Mining Engineers. After all, compared to other races, although the Red Alert Engineers' combat power wasn't the highest, it was still above average. Moreover, the hiring price for Red Alert Engineers wasn't high. Most importantly, Red Alert Engineers had undergone strict military training, were proficient in operating various firearms and vehicles, and possessed considerable military literacy.

If it were a one-on-one fight, Red Alert Engineers might not be a match for many races in the system, but if the number of people exceeded ten, then it would be hard to say. Therefore, Red Alert personnel were definitely the most suitable for factory security.

As for the personnel to protect his family and himself, he favored the people of the Xia Race. This was because the Xia Race personnel were the only Scholars with female Scholars in the mining industry category. Furthermore, the combat power of these Xia Race women was not low; it was quite formidable, even much stronger than Red Alert Soldiers. In the system's introduction about them, it specifically mentioned that their race possessed considerable combat power, and every person in their race was a martial arts master.

At the same time, the system also informed him that they possessed excellent skills and keen adaptability. As women, they wouldn't easily attract too much attention when protecting Zhang Yi's family.

After selecting the individuals he wanted to hire, Zhang Yi first exited the system in his mind and checked his bank account to see how much money he currently had.

After all, he had been too busy during this period and hadn't paid attention to his account. At the same time, he also knew it was time to hire some financial staff for the factory and establish the factory's finance department.

After opening his account, he found that he still had nearly eight million in his account at this time, two million of which was sent to Zhou Tai City by Zhang Yingying's best friend, Fang Jie.

Seeing that he still had so much money, he felt relieved. However, he couldn't use all of this money; he had to leave most of it because his factory would be paying salaries in a few days, and the factory also needed several million in working capital.

So he opened the system in his mind. First, he hired 10 Red Alert Mining Trainee Engineers he had previously favored. The hiring price for each Red Alert Engineer was 80 Scholar Coins, which meant the hiring price for 10 Red Alert Soldiers had already reached 800 Scholar Coins. If converted into money, it was a full 2.4 million.

After hiring the Red Alert Engineers, he didn't immediately exit the system. Instead, he reopened the Xia Race option. The Xia Race option was different from the Red Alert Engineers. The hiring price for each Red Alert Mining Engineer was uniform, but the hiring price for Xia Race Scholars varied, with the lowest being 40 Scholar Coins and the highest reaching over a hundred Scholar Coins.

Although the hiring price was a bit high for him, he still hired three, and all of them were the ones with the highest hiring price.

This directly cost Zhang Yi three hundred Scholar Coins, which was nearly a million in money. In addition, he also hired another male Scholar from the Yan Race in the system. After all, besides women, hiring men was also very necessary. Hiring women for his mother was fine, but it wouldn't work for his father. Otherwise, his mother would definitely break his leg, so he still needed men.

After hiring the combat-type Scholars, Zhang Yi clicked into the metallurgy-type Scholars. He had already discussed with Xiao Hua before and was preparing to enter the bearing manufacturing industry, and entering the bearing manufacturing industry required good bearing steel.

However, domestic bearing steel still had a certain gap compared to foreign countries, and even if he wanted to import excellent foreign bearing steel, it would be very difficult.

These were all embargoed items by foreign countries against them, so if Zhang Yi wanted truly excellent bearing steel, he could only manufacture it himself, which naturally required metallurgy Scholars.

Finally, Zhang Yi hired two metallurgy-type Scholars in the system, which cost Zhang Yi over 400 Scholar Coins. In other words, hiring Scholars in the system this time cost Zhang Yi nearly five million yuan in total. However, Zhang Yi was still not very satisfied at this time. After all, he had only hired a total of a dozen or so various Scholars in the system. If possible, he hoped to hire more Scholars. After all, for the system to upgrade, he had to hire at least a hundred Scholars in the system, and he hadn't even reached one-fifth of that number yet.

However, the current conditions did not allow him to hire any more Scholars from the system, so Zhang Yi had no choice but to give up.

When Zhang Yi exited the Scholar Hiring System in his mind, he found that the Scholars he had hired had already been teleported by the system.

Looking at the 16 people in front of him, Zhang Yi's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. After all, this was the first time he had hired so many Scholars. Among these 16 people, the most pleasing to the eye were the twelve Scholars from the Human Race's Red Alert universe. Ten of them were Mining Trainee Engineers, and two were Red Alert Trainee Metallurgical Engineers. Moreover, the personnel from the Red Alert universe were all soldiers, so they were all lined up neatly and meticulously, looking at Zhang Yi and waiting for his orders.

At the same time, Zhang Yi also noticed that these Red Alert Scholars had ranks on their shoulders similar to the military ranks in this world. Most of these Red Alert Engineers had the same rank. But one person was clearly different from the others.

Therefore, Zhang Yi thought that he was standing in the first row, while the other eleven Red Alert Engineers all had the rank of Enlisted, with the highest being only Sergeant. Presumably, this was the officer of these eleven Scholars!

After all, Zhang Yi hired a whole small team of personnel this time, which was equivalent to a squad in the real world, so it definitely included a captain. However, although these engineers had different ranks, their skill levels were all Beginner Scholars, so the hiring price was the same.

Apart from those from the Red Alert universe, the others were much more relaxed. Although these people were trying hard to be like the Red Alert Engineers due to the influence of the personnel from the Red Alert universe, no matter what they did, there was always something different. Whether it was in terms of spirit, temperament, or discipline, they couldn't compare.
