Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

4pm

A large number of lifts and landings landed in the stinking area outside Areas 113 to 118. Many people from Section 3 and Section 5 were carrying some construction materials. A large group of engineers came out directly, preparing to conduct on-site surveys directly. Many people were watching from outside the cordon.

Although the joint investment company of the three major families has not officially opened its doors on the ground floor, the matter is already a certainty. Most people on the ground floor are happy, and many businessmen from small workshops and factories on the ground floor are rushing here. , they submitted to Section 7 early in the morning the qualifications, scale, existing equipment, etc. of the factory in all aspects.

The efficiency of Section 7 is very high. By noon, all aspects of thousands of small workshops and factories have been reviewed thoroughly. Some unclear parts have been sent directly to the door for review.

These small businessmen know that they will soon be able to obtain investment. Once investment is made, new equipment can be purchased immediately. Many people are also looking forward to starting construction as soon as possible, so that more than 100,000 people can be directly employed.

The scale of the western factory area is completely different from that here. Many factories only require skilled workers. Some inexperienced or physically disabled people cannot enter the factory. But it is different here. Many small workshops and factories have average incomes but Can provide jobs for these people.

There has been a huge gap in the supply of daily necessities at the bottom. The output of these small workshops and factories is very low, and their production capacity only accounts for less than 20% of the bottom. For more materials, they still have to rely on the western factory areas, and the western factory areas The quality of many of the goods produced is better than that of the bottom class, and the price will naturally be higher. Many of these goods are supplied to the middle and upper classes.

Now, as long as the production capacity of these small workshops is increased, according to the estimates of Section 2, the problem of shortage of living materials at the bottom level can be solved, and the current shortage of living materials in the middle level can be alleviated soon.

Now there are a lot of different voices in the reports than in the morning. Most of the media are issuing apologies, pointing out the untrue parts of the previous reports. Many people are scolding, but this time it can be solved without apologizing. .

CBV has already reported that people from Section 5 arrested some media people who made inflammatory and false remarks. Many people voluntarily surrendered. This has never happened before.

Many issues that have been covered up in reports have also begun to be exposed by some media people. In particular, the shady story of businessmen paying the media to let the media fabricate facts has also been reported by some people with evidence.

What makes people feel confused and dissatisfied is that CBV does not have any problems. Many people are secretly talking about CBV as the mouthpiece of the administrative department. They must have known about it for a long time.

However, in the eyes of most people, the overall situation is good. Nowadays, there is a large-scale labor shortage in the city, but it is heavy physical labor, and many people are not qualified. Work in factories that does not require heavy physical strength is suitable for many people. However, Not everyone can enter the western factory area.

Therefore, there are still many people idle at the bottom, and most of them rely on some meager temporary work income to make ends meet. Such jobs are extremely unstable.

It's just that many people at the bottom are wondering, because the currently planned factories are very close to the residences of those who temporarily live in the barrier areas of the city, whether these workshops will continue to employ some people from the barrier areas.

But it is obvious that once these factories and workshops establish large delivery rooms, they will definitely employ people from the barrier areas.

The current changes in the city have made many people feel at a loss as they have happened too quickly. At this time, many people from the barrier area have come over and started to help put away some construction materials at the construction site.

In less than half an hour, more and more trucks were parked aside, and a large number of people from the barrier area got off the trucks, including many children, elderly people, and women. After they entered the construction site, they directly began to work under the command of members of the operational department. Some materials were moved over to the lift.

Many people watching on the street were silent, and some people made dissatisfied sounds because they were worried that if more and more people from the barrier area entered, they would take away some jobs, and people in the barrier area are very cheap. , this is what most people worry about.

The light and shadow machinery has been generated. A construction team got off the lift and started digging directly into the ground. Within a few minutes, a thick sewage pipe was exposed.

Such rapid construction is beyond the imagination of many people on the ground floor. Engineers have already taken measurements on site and drawn up a construction plan directly on site. Full construction will begin early tomorrow morning.

At this time, some workshop and factory bosses standing on the street received the information from Section 7, and many people laughed with joy. They only needed to go to the local Section 7 and draw up the information in Sections 7, 8, and 9. Just sign the contract, and they can get the equipment and investment funds tomorrow. All they need to do is arrange the staffing after the factory starts.

As more and more people from the barrier area came, some protests were heard on the street, but soon people from Section 5 came over to stop them.

Many people are trying to persuade each other because Le Xiao's attitude today is too tough, and it has become an established fact that people in the barrier area will return to the city.

At this time, a large number of mutants jumped out of the truck. Many of them seemed to be members of the gang in the barrier area. Many people screamed. A Section 5 director on the scene used a loudspeaker to directly shouted.

"Please don't panic. Everything is safe. Under the supervision of our business department, there will definitely be no problems. Nowadays, the city is under construction and requires a large number of workers. I hope you don't have to worry too much. These ravine areas have been built Our factory will give priority to hiring citizens in the city, so please rest assured."

At the same time, the directors in many areas at the bottom spoke out, and gradually the voices of dissatisfaction also subsided. Not only the directors at the bottom, but also the company leaders of the three major families directly held a media conference to express their will. Priority will be given to hiring citizens from Brilliant City, and people from the barrier area will only be hired when there is a shortage of manpower.

Many people in the middle class have also discovered that many stores and supermarkets that were short of goods before are now putting some goods on the shelves. Many goods were obviously lacking before, but now so many goods have appeared, as if they appeared overnight.

8pm sharp

In the conference room of the General Affairs Department, a large number of businessmen and family members filled the conference room. There were no reporters present. Everyone was looking at the senior executives of the executive branch and the senior council members on the stage.

"If everyone continues to think about how to make profits, this city will not have any future. I hope that everyone can join hands to bring the city to a bright future."

Le Xiao was sitting in the middle. She was the only senior executive present, and the others were all directors. Most of the businessmen in the audience had solemn expressions, because the business department actually used such a tough attitude to fight back against them. Many people were instigated. The media published some false information and received a notice. Tomorrow, I will go to Section 5 for questioning and review.

The attitude of most congressmen is completely different from before. The administrative department has cooperated with the congressmen, which seems impossible to the businessmen.

Chen Qiao just watched silently. He didn't plan to say anything anymore. Now they can only continue to stabilize the interests of the middle and upper levels, but they cannot touch the bottom level.

"Everyone has earned enough, and if we continue to ask for more from the city, one day this city will definitely have another huge crisis. Please take a good look at the bottom floor. The bottom floor is also a part of the brilliant city, and it is absolutely most."

Everyone was listening to Le Xiao's speech. The business department had just come up with a clear plan, and the businessmen needed to cooperate with this plan. In the next five years, Bright City must complete the establishment of the agricultural base in the barrier area, as well as some The establishment of the mining industry, and the development of the mining industry, will be left to the businessmen immediately.

Such conditions sound very tempting, but many people know that it is almost very difficult to achieve this step.

But no one can refute that the current situation is no longer up to the businessmen, they must make a choice.

"Those who agree, please raise your hands."

Le Xiao glanced at the people on the stage. Many people raised their hands. From the businessmen at the back to the front, several major businessmen in the city also raised their hands. Chen Qiao closed his eyes. After closing his eyes for a while, he raised his hands helplessly.

"Times have changed."

Chen Qiao sighed, Le Xiao stood up and bowed seriously.

"I hope everyone can work together. If we can no longer work together, the most terrible thing other than natural disasters will most likely happen in the future."

Many people looked at Le Xiao solemnly. Le Xiao did not tell anything about the Tianji Space Kingdom. When King Xue explained this country to Le Xiao, Le Xiao knew too many things. This country in the future is very likely. Launching a war against Brilliant City, and the signs are very obvious, they are definitely likely to launch a war.

If Brilliant City does not become wealthy now, the city will be in a very dangerous situation once war comes in the future.

Le Xiao stood up and announced that the meeting was over. Many businessmen seemed very helpless. It was no longer an era for them to decide things.

"It only took a moment to change everything. You are so quick, little girl."

Wu Qun couldn't help but mutter, Le Xiao was completely relieved, she shook her head.

"It's not me who is quick, but I saw some things many years ago, but these things were ignorant because I came from the bottom. Most of the problems in this city arise from the bottom, poverty, Backwardness, riots, the birth of those rioters, and the constant superposition of lies, these things have completely converged. If you continue to pretend that you can't see it, one day this city will be finished."

Le Xiao declined the invitation from the council members. She had to go back to her dormitory to continue working. Although the secretaries of the General Affairs Department helped Le Xiao handle some of the work, she still had work in District 29 and work in the cinema.

Sure enough, just after returning to the dormitory, Le Xiao saw Tian Ai and Hawke who had been waiting for a long time.

"Come here quickly. You have to review and sign these documents. We have probably reached an agreement with the people from the Film and Television Association."

Le Xiao hurriedly said thank you, and Hawke patted Le Xiao on the back, making Le Xiao startled.

"what?"

"You did really well today, keep up your hard work, little girl."

Le Xiao smiled awkwardly, sat down and began to review. Tian Ai sighed. She had turned down a lot of work recently, so she took a break and helped Le Xiao.

Hawke looked at Le Xiao with some emotion, because he knew very well that the place where this girl was standing was correct. She chose to stand where the citizens were. From the perspective of a simple ordinary person, in fact, many people in the city Most people are aware of the problem, and most people can see it clearly, but many people can't change anything or do anything.

At this stage of urban development, there is no need to continue to develop at a high speed. This fast-moving train should stop now and let some people who are still chasing the train get on.

"Are you having trouble with your eyes?"

Tian Ai still spoke harshly, and Le Xiao immediately retorted.

"You just have trouble with your eyesight. I've had a hard day today and I'm just a little tired."

Le Xiao hurriedly corrected the wrong content she had just entered on the file. Tian Ai pointed at the file aside and said.

"These things are the key to the core. You have to remember them clearly, but I think you are not very capable of remembering them all."

"So and so said that."

Hawke walked to the window, opened the curtains, and pushed open the window. A breeze blew in his face. He looked at the lights surrounding the edge of the city in the distance. There had never been an era like this.

Perhaps it is inevitable that this will happen. The three generations of people in the business department have finally achieved results from the foundation stones they laid a long time ago. This result is good, and Le Xiao, as a person who breaks the rules and condenses everything, It is also essential.

In the past, Hawke was powerless against everything. He was not an optimist like Ye Chunwang, who could see things through. In these years, Hawke could only live in pain. This kind of pain is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Struggling in despair, there is absolutely nothing I can do. Even if I try to resist, I can't see anything, and my eyes are still dark.

The other secretaries are also cooperating very well with what Le Xiao is leading now, which is why things can become so efficient. Construction of the outer circle on the bottom floor will start tomorrow. This is unimaginable by Hawke. The United Investment Company is still formally reviewing and approving it. When we got down, we were able to start work.

Hawke remembered what Gene once said in the past, no matter what kind of beast or monster, you can only control it if you beat it down and make it docile. Capital is this invisible beast. monster, but it is different now. Xingke no longer intends to compromise with capital.
