Chapter 6 Ideas for Creation

To create this idea, Payton did not come up on a whim, he made the choice after repeated consideration.

Earning the first pot of gold is necessary, and many opportunities in the future require principal.

But this principal will not fall from the sky, nor will it be blown by strong winds. Even if some people go back to the past, they do not have the ability to seize opportunities and change the future.

Maybe some people live a new life, and when they get old, they find that they have a few more houses and cars than in their previous lives.

They will find that everything seems to be different from what they first expected.

Happiness shouldn't be so simple and unpretentious, house, car, Nako...

For Payton, if he wants to stir the situation, he must pay attention to the original accumulation.

Going from zero to one is always the hardest step.

It is far more difficult for a beggar to become a millionaire than a millionaire to become a millionaire.

You must plan ahead.

With Peyton's current age and his immature face, he is destined not to gain much trust from adults.

It is impossible for him to do business, and he is not qualified to touch other people's interests.

As for working to make money, he has already started.

Two years ago, he followed behind his older siblings and started a work-study program—delivering newspapers and milk to uncles and aunts in the community.

This is a job that is very suitable for his age!

He did a good job, after all, adults are always full of care for cute and sweet-mouthed children.

Especially when this kid has a very energetic father.

He was tipped regularly, even earning more than his older siblings because of his age.

But that's all, it can only serve as his petty use, and it is far from the "first pot of gold" in Payton's heart.

History tells us that it is unrealistic to earn the first pot of gold by selling low-priced labor.

Unless you are the boss, what you sell is the labor of the workers!
For example, Payton expanded the scope of this job, such as expanding from the community where their home is located to the surrounding communities, and even the whole city, the whole state...monopolizing the entire service industry?

It sounds like a good plan. In the process, he can form his own community service company, hire workers, take a cut from it, and become a basic exploiter class.

From an employed person to a capitalist, the low-priced labor exploited by workers is transformed into money.

With this plan, every step forward, he can earn a lot.

But this is obviously unrealistic, not to mention that he has no principal, nor is he qualified to communicate with adults on an equal footing.

Even if he has it and has a certain amount of funds, the time is too late.

These communities seem to be independent, but behind them are the tentacles of capitalists, from water, electricity, environmental protection, newspapers, food...the interests of which have long been divided by individual community service companies.

Capital involves all aspects, where you can make money, you can find the tentacles of capitalists.

Peyton and the others were "lucky" to get this job, and it was entirely because of the face of their father, Mr. Chris, a Birmingham city councilor and police chief.

The Federation is also a society of human affection. Sometimes, the role of this thing is no less than money and power.

Especially when everyone pays attention to some contracts that are not used to write on paper.

The spirit of contract, a set of hidden rules...money, contracts, laws and other elements constitute a romantic free federation.

The police department supervises law and order, community environment... In this regard, Mr. Chris has a lot of power.

These social service companies are willing to provide some work-study jobs to Mr. Chris's children in order to gain Mr. Chris's favor and some care.

Moreover, Mrs. Chris has been provided with a job with good wages anyway, and she doesn't care about hiring a few more "small temporary workers".

It's legal to hire Peyton and the others.

According to the law, delivering newspapers or milk was considered light manual labor.

Only heavy physical work such as textiles and mining violates child labor laws, so there is no need to worry about employing child labor.

Not to mention the name of work-study programs.

After getting the job, there were moments when Payton pondered a fact.

That is, if someone wants to bribe Mr. Chris, it can be done by hiring a few of them to work and study.

As long as the salary is higher, hire them to do more jobs, and offer a high salary, as long as it meets the scope, absolutely no one can say no to it.

Of course, this is completely unnecessary, there are thousands of ways to bribe.

For example, he suddenly won a lottery in a certain company, was invited to participate in an auction with only him alone, found a key to a bank safe, a food box containing cash or cashier's check...

Only you can't think of it, no one can't do it!
As long as you want to take advantage of the loopholes in the shadows, can't you get in?

There is no need for Mr. Chris to expose their children to the dark side of society from an early age.

Children should grow up in a bright environment!
Now Mr. Chris is teaching the kids to be law-abiding and to play within the rules.

Waiting for the children to mature, he will share some of his more real life experiences with the children.

Another set of social practice rules.

For example, how to make reasonable use of the power in your hands to make your living conditions better, how to legally break the rules in people's eyes, how to do some illegal things at the smallest cost...

In the eyes of Mr. Chris and Mrs. Chris, this part-time work-study job is just to exercise the children's communication skills.

At the same time, let them support themselves, earn some pocket money, and understand the necessity of exchanging labor for money.

It is not difficult to earn some pocket money through work-study programs, but to expand the scope of experience and further touch the interests of others, so that these people spit out their interests, it is better to kill them.

Even if Mr. Chris stood in front of them, he would be torn apart without hesitation.

This is a federation, a free and democratic society, and the charm of money is far from something that a regional police chief or a low-level member of parliament can resist.

Here, the power of capital is everything, and the rest of people and things have to give way.

Including the president!

Expanding one's own business scope is too difficult, and it is far from what Payton can operate. Even if he can, it is not worth it.

With this skill, he might have earned a sum of money more easily from other places.

After excluding unsuitable choices, Peyton chose to write.

It's very reasonable!

Not manual labor, and decent enough.

Reading books and newspapers is a label that everyone in the family knows and has attached to Payton.

The path of a cultural person is most suitable for his age, and it is not easy to be rejected by Mr. Chris and Mrs. Chris.

　An ordinary start, but writing books in this era is much less competitive than later generations.
