Chapter 48: Reform of the Civilian Committee (2)

"Oh? If you can really do more for the civilian children, that would be great, I am also worried!" Wang Peng asked excitedly when he heard Li Zhenbang's words.
As a civilian, Wang Peng also wanted to do more for the children of civilians, but most nobles sneered at their committee, so a lot of work was more difficult to do.
The other ten committee members also looked at Li Zhenbang seriously. Since Nick and the committee members he promoted were all covered up and left, the atmosphere of the entire civilian committee has at least flourished.
"We must improve our cohesion and prestige; we must let civilian children have a sense of belonging and honor; we must expand the size of the committee, but the twelve of us are definitely not enough; the most important thing is that we must have liquidity. , The gold coins issued by the college every month are definitely not enough."
"Then tell us about your plan in detail!" Wang Peng frowned. He understood many things, but there must be some problems in implementation. He mainly wanted to hear Li Zhenbang's solution.
"Everyone is well aware of our current position in the academy. Except for a small number of nobles who give us a bit of face, most nobles ignore us. But every day a large number of nobles hire civilian children to serve them. If we don’t solve it through us, a considerable part of our problems have not been properly resolved. If the vicious circle continues, the meaning of our existence will become lower and lower."
Everyone looked at Li Zhenbang and nodded, but this was really helpless. It was not that they didn't want to work hard to solve it, but sometimes they couldn't solve it at all.
"How to make the nobles see us, first of all, we must unite all the forces that can be united, especially the children of ordinary people in the lower grades. They are the main force serving the nobles. The children of ordinary people in the upper grades are already very strong. , You can participate in the academy’s mercenary group to earn fees, generally you don’t need to earn fees by serving the nobles.

"If all the staff in the academy serving the nobles are in our own hands, then we naturally have a part of the right to speak."
"Then how can we hold these people in our own hands? We are not compulsory!" a committee member asked suspiciously.
"There is no good way. We can only rely on ourselves. The only way I can think of is to use our resources. Post posters on the college bulletin board and broadcast advertisements at the radio station. We are the only official civilian organization recognized by the college. Without affecting teaching, we can use the resources of the college free of charge. We can also mobilize the people we have helped and friends around us to distribute leaflets with us. We serve the children of civilians for free, I think It should not be resisted by civilian children."
Wang Peng thought for a while and said, "Then what do we do with those who come to sign up? If it is to register and create a register, the workload is not small. Just a few of us, it is estimated that it is not easy to handle. And look at our office, the space is It’s big enough, but lacks a lot of office facilities, so it’s impossible to just stack up materials! If we buy furniture and expand staff, funding is a big problem. We are all civilians, and the academy’s monthly gold coins are not enough. use."
Li Zhenbang smiled mysteriously: "You don't care about the money, I will figure out a solution."
"You have money?" Wang Peng looked at Li Zhenbang in surprise.
"I can go to sponsor!"
"Sponsorship? What is sponsorship?" Wang Peng asked suspiciously.
Li Zhenbang looked at Wang Peng’s confused eyes before remembering that the world hasn’t said sponsorship yet, so he explained:
Sponsorship can be simply understood as the merchants who can give us money on our leaflets and posters. , It is equivalent to a disguised propaganda for their company. We can even pull a banner in the college and write a slogan like "XX merchants wish the civilian committee a complete success!" You must know that businesses outside the college hope to be in the college Those who promote themselves vigorously, but suffer from no way out, especially those hotel shops."
Wang Peng looked at Li Zhenbang’s eyes shining brightly. If this happened, they would really not have to worry about funding.
"Okay, Zhenbang, then this matter is left to you! If you can bring in sponsorship, I will solve the problems in the academy."
"This is only the first step. Later we have to establish complete rules and regulations. Our members can only take over the tasks of the nobles from us, so that we will resolve disputes as soon as possible."
"What if the member does not receive the task from us, but directly receives the task from the nobleman?" Sun Dehai asked suspiciously.
"No matter who it is, all members will be expelled, and will never be hired, and he will not be given any more tasks."
"Is this a bit too cruel? But it just didn't pass our hands. Is it so strict?" Sun Dehai asked unbearably.
"Dehai, Zhenbang is not wrong. There is no rule without rules. If he does not put our committee in the eyes, then why should we keep him. We must be responsible for the children of civilians who are loyal to us. Cohesion and loyalty are the first Yes. Which mercenary group members have you seen abandon their mercenary group in order to take over the task?" Wang Peng's tone was very firm, but also very convincing.
"Dehai, I know your concerns, so we aristocrats here can appoint our members to serve. If our members cannot accept, we can appoint others. We charge 10% commission from the aristocrats, and we do not charge members If you charge a penny, the nobles won’t care about that little money. Non-members will charge a 20% commission for the noble missions from us. I think this basically guarantees that the members who take the missions are all members.

"Zhenbang, I think we can also provide some meal delivery services, charge a certain percentage of the meal delivery fee, and then send all the meal delivery fees to the delivery staff." A fat committee member said.
"The idea is good, but we have to charge a small portion of the meal delivery fee, and most of the rest will be given to the delivery staff."
Seeing everyone’s puzzled eyes, Li Zhenbang explained:
Although we are a public welfare organization, we also need working capital. Sponsorship can only be temporary and will not become the main source of funds. In case of conflict between members and nobles, if Need compensation, how do we operate without funds?"
Everyone nodded. After all, no one wants to pay for others by themselves. No one wants to pay for the mistakes of others, let alone everyone is not rich.
After all, Wang Peng is the president, so he naturally needs to take a long-term view. He asked with some anxiety: "Zhenbang, what should we do if the nobles collectively boycott us? After recruiting members but without corresponding tasks, our reputation will be completely ruined. Up!"
