But then again, for Zhang Manlin, this might just be an affirmation of her abilities.

Perhaps Zhang Manlin would even be happy because Jiang Cheng values her. If she wasn't busy, she might feel uncomfortable.

Actually, Zhang Manlin is naturally a CEO; no one is more suitable for this position than her.

If someone else were in the position of CEO of the Cosmic Umbrella Group, they might have been exasperated to death by Jiang Cheng long ago.

After listening to Jiang Cheng's situation, Zhang Manlin lowered her head in thought.

She also needed to think things through thoroughly to come up with the best solution.

Jiang Cheng wasn't impatient at all; he stood by, waiting for Zhang Manlin's conclusion.

After all, Jiang Cheng knew his CEO wouldn't let him down; all he had to do was wait.

Sure enough, Zhang Manlin didn't disappoint Jiang Cheng and came up with a complete plan after a while.

"First, we need to understand the essence of recruiting Martian immigrants to make corresponding measures.

Recruiting Martian immigrants is actually like the ancient migration to border areas, moving people from their homes to live on the frontier.

Only this time, the destination is somewhat far away—leaving Earth to go to Mars.

Zhang Manlin's analysis was spot on; she immediately pinpointed the essence of the matter.

Recruiting immigrants to live on Mars is really similar to ancient regimes resettling people on the frontier, only this time it's not the frontier but an alien planet.

Once this is understood, a corresponding plan can be easily formulated.

Jiang Cheng and his team just need to learn from the methods of ancient regimes, and naturally, they can persuade enough people to go to Mars.

The methods that ancient regimes used for frontier resettlements were nothing more than a few.

"Previously, frontier migration often involved distributing land, promising tax exemptions, and providing labor tools from the government.

These were all very attractive to ancient farmers, allowing them a stable life on the frontier.

Basically, ancient governments used benefits to lure people, encouraging those who couldn't make a living to migrate to the frontier.

Zhang Manlin spoke eloquently to Jiang Cheng, analyzing the methods of former rulers and explaining how he should persuade people.

Since the rulers of old knew to use incentives, they could certainly learn from that.

The methods of persuasion do not change with the times; old methods may still work today.

The more Zhang Manlin spoke, the clearer her thoughts became, and the more refined her ideas for recruiting immigrants were.

Zhang Manlin gave a confident smile and continued to Jiang Cheng: "Since ancient people could solve this problem, we can follow this train of thought as well.

Ancient people understood the use of incentives, so we can definitely learn from them too.

First, we can offer excellent conditions to attract people to sign up for the Mars immigration plan.

The method Zhang Manlin thought of actually doesn't differ from the past; only the operational details need to be updated for the times.

Regardless of how Zhang Manlin plans to attract immigrants, the essence is still to provide good living conditions to entice those willing to go.

Ancient people distributed land to frontier immigrants; we can learn from that—if we can't provide land, we can offer houses.

We can advertise that anyone who settles on Mars can get a house in Mars City, and that house will forever belong to them.

Besides houses, other conditions should also be attractive, and all kinds of welfare must be provided to attract people to settle on Mars.

Free electricity and water, free transportation within Mars City, and free education and healthcare.

I believe that once these conditions are offered, there will be a lot of people signing up."

As Jiang Cheng listened to Zhang Manlin's plan, he couldn't help but nod along.

Zhang Manlin's proposal is indeed feasible, and its effectiveness should be quite good.

Providing free housing and other benefits is very attractive to many people.

Given the high housing prices on Earth, many people can't afford to buy one.

If they can't afford a house on Earth, why not take a chance on Mars?

At least on Mars, housing is secured, let alone other benefits waiting for them.

Healthcare, education, and transportation—all free—such benefits are indeed attractive.

If moving to Mars is seen as a job, there's no job on Earth with such good perks.

This almost seems to have arranged everything for Mars immigrants; as long as they go, everything else will be taken care of for them.

The feeling that everything is handled is instantly appealing.

Jiang Cheng believes that as soon as he releases this news, the spots for Mars immigration will be filled.

Though Jiang Cheng thinks this plan is great, he realizes there's a problem.

He immediately says, "But for the talents I need, their current living conditions are probably not lacking.

These benefits don't attract high-end talents as much as they do the average person.

"How can we ensure that the people we attract include the talents I need?"

The issue Jiang Cheng raised does exist and could potentially impact the outcome of the immigration recruitment.

This time, Jiang Cheng wants high-end talents from various fields, not just anyone who volunteers.

Since Jiang Cheng wants high-end talents from various fields, they may not be easily persuaded.

High-end talents in various fields generally live well under current conditions.

They lack nothing in terms of housing, cars, and money, living well on Earth—why would they go all the way to Mars?

The benefits Zhang Manlin talked about are actually easily obtainable on Earth if you have money; they're not hard to achieve.

While these benefits may be enticing to the average person, who wouldn't want to immediately go to Mars with Jiang Cheng?

But Jiang Cheng isn't very interested in average people; he wants talents to help develop Mars in the initial stages.

As for recruiting ordinary people, that might be considered once the scale of Mars immigration has grown.

Currently, the problem is that the people who can be attracted are not who Jiang Cheng wants, and those he truly desires might not be willing to come.

Frankly, it's an issue of differing attraction power; the cost of changing their lives varies from person to person.

Ordinary people still concerned about making a living might be willing to abandon their current life for a place of plenty, even if it means going to Mars.
