Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Why is this like this, obviously this, that, this, Your Excellency Michelle, I really..."

Le Xiao looked at the 15-year-old bill signed at the end of the season in horror. Michelle had changed the signature of the bill to Le Xiao, and she kept shaking her head.

"How is this possible? It was Xiaoqing's father who made the motion. How can it be blamed on me? I really don't think so."

"Have you forgotten what I just said? Secretary Le Xiao, you must fulfill your current responsibilities and be able to do what you can. I just want to talk to you first. You don't need to speak at the city meeting later. Our General Affairs Department I will do all the explaining on your behalf.”

Le Xiao swallowed. Michelle turned off the light and shadow screen and continued to talk to Le Xiao about some of the reasons for the changes in the city's economy this time. Le Xiao also listened carefully.

"If this continues for a long time, the operating conditions of more than 600 companies will continue to deteriorate, a large number of people will be unemployed, and the consumption level of most districts will plummet. This will affect many districts in the short term, and the chain reaction will begin to sweep across the entire City."

Le Xiao was still not sure about some things, although Michelle had tried to explain them as simply as possible.

"To give a simple example, the media agency you used to work for originally had 1,000 people who subscribed to your media consultation and paid every month. But suddenly one day, the number of people decreased by 20%, leaving only 800 people. Then your salary will shrink by 20%. If you calculate it purely without adding taxes, your original salary of 1,000 yuan will only be 800 yuan. Originally, you might consume 800 yuan and save 200 yuan in a month, but now You only have 800 yuan left in your pocket and have no savings, will you choose to spend all 800 yuan like before?"

Le Xiao swallowed and shook his head.

"Of course it's impossible. If I get sick or my family needs money, of course I will"

"If it continues to get worse, what will you do? What if your salary shrinks to 600, or even lower? You will naturally not be able to buy the things you can afford on weekdays, and consumption will naturally shrink, and after the shrinkage, consumption-related industries will For example, a breakfast shop used to have 100 people every morning, but due to the economic downturn, only 50 people, or even less, can come to the store. The boss cannot pay wages, so the only way is to reduce the number of employees. The store was able to continue operating, and the employee who was forced to leave the store had no income. However, in such a recession, he could not even find a job. Eventually, his citizenship level dropped, and the money in his pocket became less and less. You can only go to the farm to work.”

Le Xiao took a deep breath.

"Isn't that bad?"

"As long as you understand, you must be clearly aware of how harmful it will be to everyone if the economic environment in the city deteriorates, so that you can be emotionally involved in the video conference tomorrow morning without becoming dry. of."

Le Xiao blinked. It was the same the last few times. Michelle had poured a lot of something like ecstasy soup into her in advance. Many times, she listened in a fog, but suddenly when she was giving a speech, she suddenly I felt like I was feeling the same, so I naturally started talking vigorously.

"Why don't you come this time, Michelle?"

"I don't have time to give you this or that. I asked you to memorize the entire law before. How are you doing with it?"

Le Xiao blinked and raised his hand with an awkward smile, with a gap between his index finger and thumb.

"A little bit, but I remember some."

In the large conference room located on the 2nd floor of Building 0, Section 1, many businessmen showed surprised expressions as they looked at the two people who walked in from the door. Everyone knew the couple, Mr. and Mrs. Angus, and the brilliant couple. The richest man in the city.

Logistics and transportation are the hens that lay golden eggs in the Angus family. The transportation network and logistics network currently laid out underground were all built by the Angus family, but they rarely participate in any gatherings in private. , and is quite low-key, rarely appearing in public, except for attending the regular monthly auditoriums of city meetings, basically living a life of seclusion.

"Good evening everyone."

Avano greeted him politely, Locke sighed, and saw many people's faces light up, because many people guessed that the money given to each of their companies by the Business Department was only two to three million at most. , but it is different now.

"First of all, the purpose of our coming here is to invest."

As Angus said, his wife Violet took her mobile phone and opened several light and shadow screens, which listed the current market value of more than 600 companies.

The largest company, Huihuang Industry, has a market value of less than 50 million, and the lowest, a small company named Zhengxiong Chemical, has a market value of less than 2 million. It is basically on the verge of bankruptcy, with one foot already stepped forward. Got in.

"First of all, what I want to tell you is that our investment is long-term investment, not short-term investment."

The expressions of many people below the stage regained some brilliance, and Milis was completely awake.

"Then let me ask Ms. Violet, if you invest in us..."

The man who had made fun of himself in the square before, with plump cheeks, but his body had lost a lot of weight, and his suit was baggy, stood up and said, he is Zheng Xiong, the boss of Zheng Xiong Chemical.

"Indeed, our investment may be wasted."

For a while, many people became dejected again. Not to mention the short term, even in the long term, they did not have a good profit point. Due to the deterioration of the business environment in many places in the middle and lower classes, although they could survive by investing their money, they could not find it. A good profit point, which is the core problem, will once again fall into a situation of being unable to make ends meet, and their only means is to reduce the size of the company, but once the scale is reduced, they may miss out on many orders.

"However, our investment is limited to more than 600 of your companies working together to complete a proposal that will be submitted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology tonight. It is a new industry, but the cycle is too long, so we will invest in it in the next three years. Your company needs a minimum investment of 5 million and an upper limit of 20 million."

For a time, many people showed happy expressions, and Milis immediately thought of establishing an agricultural base in the barrier area.

"May I ask Ms. Violet, are you referring to the construction of the agricultural base in the barrier area?"

Violet shook her head.

"As for what it is, let it be reserved for the time being, because the bill submitted by Le Xiao, secretary of the 13th Section of the Business Division, which can save you, has not been passed yet. There will be an impromptu city meeting tonight, and you will know the result tomorrow morning. And once the results are available, please come to our Angus family territory tomorrow. I will hold a grand banquet, and you only need to sign a contract with us, and the money will be directly transferred to your company's account. Next, I hope you can cooperate with the administrative department. If you want to continue operating, I think this bill is a good life-saving straw."

Violet had just finished speaking, and many people were already shouting excitedly. Avano sighed, smiled and clapped his hands, and the venue became quiet.

"Don't be too happy. Once you start this large-scale cooperation in new industries, it will be very hard, but you must have confidence. I believe that everyone present has heard about our family. The situation is similar to that of our family at that time. This is what business is all about. If you, as the person in charge, do not have confidence in your future, many setbacks that may seem easy to overcome will eventually become your crushing The last straw, as for investment, after repaying the capital, we only need 10% of your investment dividend, and this fee will be used to create the underlying business environment."

"Only 10%?"

Milis looked at Avano's stretched out finger in disbelief. Then Avano laughed, bowed, and left the venue with his wife. Locke stood up.

"Please wait in Section 1. Section 1 will provide you with food and accommodation for the video conference tomorrow morning. The section chief will come in later to hand over some internal company information to you. I hope you will answer truthfully."

Locke said that and turned around and walked out of the conference room. At this time, the situation in the entire conference room was completely different from before.

"You two are really losing money. In the next three years, you need to come up with at least 6 billion in funds."

Locke said in a relaxed tone, and Avano smiled.

“The power of capital is indeed terrifying, especially when it is uncontrolled, but if as a holder of capital, you clearly know where the capital comes from, you have the right to choose whether to send the capital back or hold it. In hand.”

Locke sighed.

"That bastard Jean, he should obviously solve these things."

Violet smiled.

"Indeed, if Mr. Jean had spoken to us earlier, our husband and wife would have done our best to support him, but now it's just a different approach, and the result is still the same."
