How Am I Still Alive?

After the initial rush, some things naturally fell into place.

The newly recruited team members are very capable and make Lu Ping'an feel a lot more relaxed and have more free time to do their own things. However,

"Xiaolu, if you let go, won't you worry about something happening?"

Qian Shuen, the "young" deputy mayor from the ancient city, sighed and put down the industrial planning report in his hand.

He still has his people, the government team currently employed by Lu Ping'an.

"I can't think of a reason why something would happen. Haha, Mr. Qian, you have nothing to do, so why don't you help me more."

Mayor Qian and a group of officials from the ancient city who came with him were probably the most special ones. They did have the official status of Dongguo, but in all aspects they preferred Lu Ping'an himself, and could even be called his "natal family".

The difference between the two world lines is obvious here. Although they are both Dongguo officials, there is no problem at all as two physical units. This time they come together, and each has its own investment.

But unlike Wanjing, where the family has a big business, the ancient city has only a few properties, which were almost emptied out when the development zone was established. In the past two years, it has begun to make profits. Although it has brought many social problems and security risks, the economic output value The rapid growth of taxes and taxes has made the city a lot richer.

In this era, income equals power, equals security, and also equals more spacious living space and population limit. The ancient city is now ranked among the top in the state capital where it is located.

"Heh, don't we still want to thank you?"

After getting along for a long time, Mr. Qian also knew that Lu Ping'an was an easy person to deal with, so he spoke directly.

Now, the entire inspection team has been recruited by Lu Ping An to help handle various government affairs and documents, especially legislation (there are no administrative regulations in this world, only laws). These senior legal experts have helped a lot.

"Of course, don't you want to examine the local potential and determine investment targets? There are other places where you can understand the local situation better than I do here."

"That's true." Lao Qian laughed dumbly. This is indeed the truth.

They are all Dongguo officials, and they have traveled thousands of miles to invest. Wanjing and Gucheng are completely different from the goals to the process.

Wanjing is directly a state-owned enterprise, and various industries have pounced on it. Since it is a national strategy to be escorted by the military and high-level combat forces, there is no reason to hesitate before suffering a setback.

Lu Ping An is a "helper" in a sense. He can only help but cannot stop.

As for those over in the ancient city, to put it bluntly and bluntly, they are here to hold Lu Ping An’s thighs!

"Is there any industry you want to invest in?"

"Shipbuilding is for sure. I was originally interested in food, but to be honest, I can't beat Wanjing. I want to try entertainment, but I need support from you."

Mayor Qian was hesitant, but he had to speak up. After all, this was not for him personally, but for the ancient city.

There are some things that no one has explained clearly (and cannot explain clearly), but both of them understand. The investment in the ancient city is for profit, but it is also to "leave a way out".

As long as the plane war can be won, it is very likely that the life of this world will be longer than that of the earth (with lower pollution levels and stable order). Lu Ping'an's suggestion is to build "ancient cities and towns" and carry out a certain degree of immigration.

This can be regarded as an outpost. When the last resort comes, there will not be no way out.

And just like when Wang Xier and others had not yet fully relocated, they had to build a development zone first. You have to solve the employment needs of the immigrants before they can move here.

The first batch of industries invested in the ancient city are not pursuing pure profits, but also the jobs and safe areas that the industry itself can bring.

Lu Ping'an asked them to help him handle government affairs. On the one hand, he introduced the local situation to them (all information was directly disclosed), and on the other hand, he also urged them to make decisions as soon as possible.

"It is indeed an area with great potential, but we are different from the wealthy Wanjing. They can directly bring in a large number of enterprises and military power. It does not matter if there is no profit in the past few years. We have to bring the intelligence back before we can make decisions. But just I speak for myself”

Qian Lao laughed.

"You young people are so sincere. No matter how you look at it, it's a good thing. I guess there's no way they can refuse."

Lu Ping'an also smiled. He also knew that no one would refuse the benefits offered to him. Even if he sent five hundred people to garrison, he could still collect rent stably.

But he does have too much "free time" here, and everyone can get the same discount, so why not give it to people in his hometown?

"However, I personally still want to know your reasons. No matter how you look at it, we are taking advantage of you."

Lu Ping'an played with the pen, thought for a while, and then spoke.

"My parents are recovering well and should have many more years of good life ahead of them. Elderly people are always nostalgic. If you really want to leave your hometown, it's best to bring your neighbors with you."

Mayor Qian was also stunned by this answer.

"That's it."

"Isn't that enough?"

"indeed."

It's not just the neighbors that Lu Ping'an wants to move away. Since they are really in a foreign land, he might as well move his hometown here. Wouldn't it be the most suitable living environment for people in the ancient city?

Xingu Town, as this area is called, Lu Pingan has never concealed his thoughts.

"Then you don't have to worry about the territory. Personally, I think this is a bit much. It's okay here. After all, we really can't get the accuracy, but Wan Jing's side."

Hearing this, Lu Pingan touched his nose and didn't know how to respond.

Political matters are always sensitive and realistic.

These words are actually a bit provocative. While the Gucheng side is still collecting information and preparing investment directions, the Wanjing side is already in full bloom, with news and new profit points being generated every day.

Once one party has taken possession of it, it is unrealistic to expect it to be vomited out.

Mr. Lu did have shares in those stores, but he only had part of the profit rights. In the end, Wanjing's control over the operation, the bulk of the profits, and even the authority to employ people all belonged to Wanjing.

When the time comes, all the companies on your territory will belong to others, and it will be hard to tell whose territory you own.

Lu Ping'an thought for a moment before responding. He knew that the other party was not only asking about his attitude towards Wanjing, but also about the "outsiders" in the entire East Kingdom.

He really had to tell the truth, otherwise even with Mayor Qian's position, he would not be able to guarantee a large investment.

"For me right now, running this place is the top priority. I only care about whether the local industry can develop and whether it can become a new commercial capital. As for who will make the main profits in the short or even medium term? , I don’t care.”

From Ping An's perspective, it's such a simple truth. If you don't let others earn your early profits, why should others invest heavily? What's more, this is actually not the point.

"As you can see, my rule is 'trade', and my territory is the place where my rules are enforced. Its prosperity will bring me great benefits further. In fact, I am also now Considering the matter of becoming a god, in fact, my team has been fully launched. If nothing unexpected happens, the first god of our team, oh, an oriental from the ancient city, will become the first new god in this world. Only.”

The first half of the sentence is true, and the second half is also true. In total, at least now Mayor Qian was overjoyed when he heard the good news.

"So fast?! It's incredible!"

The earthly kingdom of a new god born in an ancient city? In an instant, Mayor Qian saw a bright future and began to consider raising a stake.
