Seeing that the situation was about right, Li Tie figured that since these people had already brought it up, there was no point in standing around; completing the task Liu Ning had assigned was the most important thing.
"Since you old brothers have put it this way, I'll tell you that this is not impossible, but there's a condition that depends on whether you can agree to it. If you agree, then we can talk about anything. If you don't agree, then you should reconsider this matter."
Even though Li Tie had known them for many years, he knew what kind of people they were, so he had to lay the groundwork beforehand to avoid any awkwardness later.
"Brother Tie, please speak freely, we'll definitely listen..."
They also knew that things weren't that simple.
"Since that's the case, then I'll tell you all. Brother Liu said that if you go out with us, 50% of the money is yours and 50% goes to the meeting point. If you can agree to this, then we can go out together next time. If you can't agree, then there's no way I can take you with me."
Li Tie said it outright. For Li Tie and his group, this request didn't seem excessive. Back when Wei Xiong took them out, the profits were divided according to this ratio. Li Tie thought these guys would easily agree, but to his surprise, they remained silent. This was completely different from the situation before.
Li Tie's eyes drooped instantly. There was indeed a reason why he didn't bring them along in the first place. You guys were only concerned about your own harvest and didn't care about the gathering point at all. Brother Liu was the one who paid the most attention to the development of the gathering point. It seemed that this matter would not be resolved.
Li Tie looked around at these people and was furious at their expressions. In this day and age, is it possible to get things done without making sacrifices?
If you can't even agree to this simple request, then you might as well not come with us at all. Just find another team instead. But can other teams offer such a high level of safety?
In fact, they all knew that there would be conditions for following Liu Ning, but they did not expect the conditions to be so harsh.
Since none of these people said anything, Li Tie remained seated. He had already told them the conditions, and whether they were willing or not was up to them. He wouldn't waste any more words here. Li Tie felt more disheartened than anything else.
About five minutes later, Li Tie had almost finished eating. Everyone was still looking down. Li Tie knew there was no hope, so he simply pushed open the door and came out. He ran into Wu Lao Er in the corridor. Wu Lao Er and Li Tie exchanged a glance, and it was clear that they had received the same result.
"Judging from your expression, I know what's going on. My side is basically the same. These bastards just leech off the gathering point. Why is it so hard to get them to make any contributions? Back then, although I wasn't a complete idiot either, at least I knew to give up 50% of the share. When these guys heard me say that, they just stopped talking to me."
Speaking of this, Wu Lao Er was also quite depressed. He wasn't a good person back then, but he was still passable in terms of his career. Compared to these people, they were practically gods and Buddhas.
Li Tie sighed helplessly. He hadn't expected the final result to be like this. To be honest, he thought these old brothers were very dedicated. But it turned out that what they said was one thing, and what they did when it came to actually getting things done was another. The two of them could only sigh as they went to Liu Ning's private room.
"Don't embarrass them here. Since that's the case, then we have nothing more to say. Let's all sit down. They've chosen their own path, so let's stop treating them like family. Those who are unwilling to make sacrifices are destined to be forced to make sacrifices."
Judging from their expressions, everyone knew what was going on. Wei Xiong sighed and told the two of them to sit down quickly. He never expected that the people in the gathering point he was protecting would be so selfish.
The last time I went out on my own, everyone still knew to donate together. I never expected it to turn out like this. It's all my fault for not grasping the direction well and taking on everything at the gathering point, failing to cultivate a habit of giving back among everyone.
"If we had known they would make this choice, we should have sent them out on patrol in the first place. We risked our lives to earn money to give them time to train, and this is how they repay us?"
Fang Qiang was also furious. What were they risking their lives for back then? It was to buy time for these people so they could hone their skills and save their lives when they went out. But these guys, after training, were unwilling to fight for the gathering point at all.
"The controllers need to make a decision. We can't let them continue like this. If we continue with the old model, not only will these soldiers and apprentices lack the spirit of dedication, but even the common people below will likely not have one. When we run out of money, are we old brothers going to go out and make money again? That's not a good solution!"
Zhang Chu patted Wei Xiong on the shoulder. Zhang Chu had been at the gathering point the longest, so he already knew about the situation, but it wasn't as serious as he had expected.
Liu Ning sighed helplessly. Up until now, Wei Xiong had been handing over half of his monthly salary. The tax rate had to be increased in the future. Otherwise, the settlement would not be able to continue. It was not a good habit to put all the burden on a few people.
Wei Xiong lowered his head and drank his wine in silence. He never expected the gathering point to turn out like this. It seemed that his leniency had emboldened them. So, in the coming period, he had to make these guys understand that survival comes at a price. The gathering point had given them enough, and now it was time to take back what they had gained.
"Old Zhang, bring out your rectification plan. Let's discuss it together. If it's approved, we'll start implementing it tomorrow. These bastards should really pay up some money."
Zhang Chu already had a rectification plan, which he had discussed with Wei Xiong before, but Wei Xiong did not agree to it, feeling that they were all his people and there was no need to be so harsh. Now, seeing the result, he had no choice but to agree to the plan.
