Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Next, a map of the Asian Administrative Region appeared in the projection, with the names of one Cyber City after another appearing on it.

Beside the names were two icons, along with percentages.

[Greenfield City]

[United Pharmaceutical: 0%]

[Si Pharmaceutical: 79%]

[Red Fruit City]

[United Pharmaceutical: 0%]

[Si Pharmaceutical: 72%]

And so on. Many of the data-savvy executives immediately understood that these percentages represented market share.

In the vast majority of Cyber Cities within the Asian Administrative Region, Si Pharmaceutical’s market share exceeded 30%, making it the undisputed leader in the potion market.

This was thanks to the earlier strategies of the Si-Liu Alliance, as well as its control over cost and quality.

"Chairman Liu, are you saying you want us to grow into a major corporation within two months? How is that possible?!"

"That’s right, Chairman Liu. Leaving aside Si Pharmaceutical’s accumulated technology, just in terms of production line capacity, it’s absolutely impossible for us to reach the scale of a major corporation in two months."

Many believed Liu Xuan had gone mad. This was an absolutely impossible goal.

Liu Xuan didn’t respond, instead continuing, "I don’t need you to be responsible for the results, only for the process. Just ensure that all the company’s decisions are implemented smoothly."

"Therefore, the company is launching a joint equity mechanism. All personnel in Level 7 Management Positions and A-Class Technical Positions have already had a point-based reward system assigned based on their job responsibilities. Every time you complete a job KPI, you will receive joint points. Every 100 joint points can be exchanged for 1% of United Pharmaceutical’s shares. The company will release a total of 30% of its shares as rewards."

"However, please note that every time someone successfully redeems a reward, all accumulated points for everyone will be reset. This means if you are outstanding enough and diligent enough, you have a chance to claim all 30% of United Pharmaceutical’s shares for yourself."

"The shares released this time come with equal rights. This is supervised by the Big Business Alliance, and all relevant documents have been filed with them."

This new information sent a shockwave through the minds of the senior staff present.

Even the drowsy Elder Dong was now wide awake, his eyes wide open.

In the center of the circular conference table, the content of the holographic projection began to change.

The footage appeared to be filmed from a flying vehicle.

The vehicle began filming from the outskirts of Red Fruit City, flying at a low altitude. After passing the Weapon Research Institute in the city center, the camera’s perspective abruptly pulled up.

It then continued flying toward the northeast corner, capturing Liu’s Headquarters Building, before finally settling on a view of the H4 Skyscraper.

The view continued to pull up until it was a bird’s-eye view of the entire Red Fruit City.

Finally, new text appeared in the center of the screen.

Joint Points = Company Shares = ?

There was no need to explain the question mark. Everyone understood: this was a feast for social climbing, a chance to leap up the class ladder.

An opportunity to go from being a company employee to joining the ranks of Cyber Capital!

Forget 30%; even 1% would be enough to become a board member.

If the goal Liu Xuan had just described could be achieved, United Pharmaceutical would completely replace Si Pharmaceutical and dominate the potion market in the Asian Administrative Region.

In that case, United Pharmaceutical would be a major corporation about to set sail.

Becoming a director of a major corporation?

The temptation was immense.

Soon, document after document appeared before everyone as projections.

These were the KPI targets for their respective positions, along with the corresponding point rewards.

As he looked at the document, Lin Qi clearly felt Liu Xuan’s gaze on him.

He looked up, met Liu Xuan’s eyes for a moment, and then began to read the document carefully.

[A-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher KPI]

[1. Complete one basic L-Class Potion design (Earn 1 joint point)]

[2. Complete one basic A-Class Potion design (Earn 10 joint points)]

[3. Complete one innovative L-Class Potion design (Earn 5 joint points)]

[4. Complete one innovative A-Class Potion design (Earn 50 joint points)]

Seeing the standards Liu Xuan had set for earning points, Lin Qi’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

This difficulty...

For a typical A-Class researcher, it would be difficult to accumulate a hundred points in two months.

Of course, with enough hard work and a bit of luck, scraping together a hundred points was possible.

But there was no guarantee someone else wouldn’t reach a hundred points before you.

’No, wait. Based on the KPI difficulty for an A-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher, the difficulty of earning points in other positions must be high as well.’

’At this level of difficulty, Liu Xuan will have a hard time giving away even 1% of the shares. And even if she does, after everyone’s points are reset, it’ll be incredibly difficult for a second person to complete the task.’

’But the goal of one hundred points is actually achievable. For that 1% of the company, a lot of people are going to work themselves to death, aren’t they?’

While Lin Qi was studying the document, Liu Weicai and Dong Wenlong were doing the same.

After reading it, they both instinctively turned their gazes to Lin Qi.

Liu Weicai, in particular, thought to himself, ’Wasn’t this system practically tailor-made for Lin Qi? Is the young lady in that much of a hurry to get married?’

Liu Weicai held a dual position, so he could see two different sets of KPIs.

After looking them over, Liu Weicai was utterly convinced: this whole thing was designed for Lin Qi.

Liu Weicai understood perfectly. It seemed like everyone had a chance to gather a hundred points.

But because of the rule that reset the points, as soon as one person reached the goal, it would be extremely difficult for anyone else to get another chance at a hundred points.

But Lin Qi...

He was a speed demon that Liu Weicai had witnessed with his own eyes!

L-Class Potions? Lin Qi could produce two designs in a single afternoon!

In the field of Pharmacy, Liu Weicai had never seen anyone with more Talent than Lin Qi.

At Lin Qi’s pace, he could probably rack up 100 points more than once.

Two percent, maybe even three percent, was possible.

As long as United Pharmaceutical developed as Liu Xuan predicted, Lin Qi’s future status in Red Fruit City and within the company would likely be no less than that of most members of the Liu Clan.

He might even be comparable to some of the big shots who held company shares.

A strange expression appeared on Liu Weicai’s face as he looked at Lin Qi.

Dong Wenlong was the same. After reading the list, he didn’t have the slightest inclination to try and accumulate points.

This whole thing was obviously custom-made for Lin Qi.

As long as Lin Qi was in the company, no one else had any hope of collecting those one hundred points.

Just as Liu Weicai and Dong Wenlong saw through the whole charade, one of the other executives, also reading the rules, spoke with a trembling voice, "This joint equity mechanism, is there a time limit? Is it only for two months, or will it be ongoing?"

Countless fervent gazes turned to Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan calmly replied, "Until all 30% of the shares have been released."

Her words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, sending ripples through the crowd.

Thirty percent of the shares, 1% at a time, meant they had exactly thirty chances to compete.

Fail once, and there would be more opportunities!

There were just over seventy people present, and all of them were battle-hardened elites from Liu’s Heavy Industries.

No one believed their ability was any less than the person next to them!

In their minds, this was an absolutely fair contest.

In an instant, an unparalleled passion for work erupted among the executives.

This was a chance for a class leap, and there were thirty of them!

’Thirty chances... one of them has to be mine.’

’I just need to be a little faster, a little faster than everyone else...’

’Every time is a reset, a new starting line. I definitely have a chance.’

A strange mood began to spread.

Only the section with the Pharmaceutical Department remained largely unaffected.

Both Liu Weicai and Dong Wenlong just wanted to let out a dry, cynical laugh.

That was 30% of the company’s stock!

Liu Xuan was truly generous, to just "give away" all of it to Lin Qi like that!

Yes, in the eyes of Liu Weicai and Dong Wenlong, as long as Lin Qi didn’t quit, all thirty of these so-called opportunities belonged to him.

’Competing against other people, I’d actually have a chance, even at my age.’

’But competing against Lin Qi? I might as well just slack off at work, rest up, and wait for retirement.’
