How Am I Still Alive?

No one really likes war.

Except for arms dealers.

Perhaps, we should also add ambitious people, food dealers, extremists, bankers, heavy equipment manufacturers, mercenaries, mine owners, steel industry, and industrial workers. Uh, although I don’t want to admit it, this war will bring countless misfortunes, and it can really bring wages to certain groups, some people, and even people around you.

War is not worth praising. If possible, everyone should despise war, but if war is inevitable, we must change our thinking and take the initiative to consider the changes and impacts brought by war, and make sure everything is on the "railway track".

"The price of food represented by pork has dropped by more than 30%. Has the East started to release strategic materials?"

"Fifty-three commonly used steels have seen a general price increase, and seventeen have been directly ordered to reduce production?!"

The saying that war is a catalyst for social evolution is actually not accurate. It is more like a disease, forcing you to actively adapt and evolve. If you can't adapt, you will be finished. It is definitely not a so-called "gift", but just a more stringent forced change, and then eliminate the losers who can't adapt.

The interests of the Steel Industry Federation and the Workers' Union are actually different, but when most outsiders thought they would be happy to welcome the surge in income.

"Save them, the raw materials have risen too much, and many product lines have been closed, and a large number of workers will be laid off."

The war brought a large number of orders, which directly led to the prosperity of the military industry, but also forced them to upgrade, especially after the "Mechanical Enlightenment Master" of this world was released from the taboo list, a large number of inventory technologies were also directly unlocked. People are almost finished, and they are about to fight to the homeland, so there is no need to think too far.

However, those military industries took new orders and naturally launched new products with better performance, which directly caused a huge shock to the domestic steel industry.

New weapons and equipment, new technologies and even cross-era products from foreign domains naturally put forward new raw material requirements.

The original stupid and rough low-end steel is naturally useless. Insufficient strength is a hard flaw. The more advanced weapons often have more stringent requirements on materials.

In fact, most of the steel industry in Dongguo is low-end. They have not experienced the pain of another world, and they are mainly the extension of the old production capacity in the 1970s and 1980s. Now the order demand at the beginning of the 20th century has increased again due to the improvement of foreign technology, and the material is completely incompatible.

Even if Dongguo uses the corresponding technology, it needs to be localized, localized, and production lines need to be laid. There is no problem in directly listing a series of special steel selections in the national industrial planning, but listing the other part as backward production capacity will inevitably lead to a large number of unemployment and personnel replacement.

There are capable people in the steel industry in Gucheng. They have seen it long ago and found Lu Ping'an in advance.

". Lieutenant General Lu, you are also from Gucheng. Even if you have not experienced the glory of our Gucheng steel city in the last century, your elders have experienced it. Our furnaces and production lines are all adapted to the needs of the industry at that time. Now we are asked to change and stop them all within three years."

Don't get me wrong, they are not resisting change, because rational people know that the market does not believe in "resistance". Forcibly resisting the changes of the times will naturally be crushed by the wheels of the times.

New products will use better cost-effectiveness to directly crush the past. Local protection is destined to be effective only in the short term, and the pressure valve of war will not give you the opportunity to resist and protect.

". I can take out a part of the investment, but this is not what you want."

"Yes, the Gucheng official and our industry association and other relevant departments have made extensive speeches in the ten-day internal democratic life meeting, and finally reached a consensus. What we need most is industrial upgrading, which is to jump out of the current situation of low-end manufacturing and raw material primary processing industries."

". Did you find the wrong person? This grand narrative is looking for a young man who is less than 30 years old? I haven't graduated for a few years!!"

Lu Ping'an was really a little confused. He had just started to lay out, and new troubles came.

With the upgrade of the front line, the official of the East Country began to adjust domestic policies from daily status to war status, which needs to be gradually started.

But a grain of sand in the era, falling into a specific industry, may be a huge benefit, or it may be the blood and tears of countless people.

Gucheng is an old industrial city, and backwardness is not its characteristic. More than 30 years ago, it was at the forefront of the times and was a darling, but its past success also made it difficult to turn around. More than 70% of its steel production was listed on the "elimination list".

New technology is not difficult to obtain. At this point in time, the state directly bought out the technology and "announced" it, but the purchase of technology and industrial chain requires money and production areas. At the same time, employees also need training and even re-education.

Can't learn? Unemployment occurs every year, and you are not the only one, but what makes people helpless is that many old employees can never learn or want to learn no matter how they are trained.

Even if everything goes well and the adjustment and integration are completed. The human resources required for the new production line are far lower than in the past, and there will still be a large number of unemployed.

The government and the local workers' federation hope to upgrade technology and industrial layout, hope to have three or four more development zones, and hope to fundamentally change the status quo of Gucheng.

This is not a sudden whim, but a plan that is gradually advancing with the Nirvana plan, but the upcoming war has accelerated everything.

They found Lu Ping'an not only because he has the ability to recruit resources across the world, but also because he is "trustworthy". This kind of treatment is extremely rare, especially for extraordinary people who sooner or later lose control. explain.

".You think too highly of me."

This is tantamount to entrusting the city's development and security in recent years. Even though Lu Ping'an is very confident and even a bit fearless, he still doesn't want to take responsibility.

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not very proficient in using the triple combo, but the organization has decided that it's you, you can, you can do it

"We are preparing to build preferential zones and direct ports, hoping to expand and strengthen foreign trade and technology introduction."

At this time, the official suddenly talked about the policy to Lu Ping An. After listening for a long time, Lu Ping An didn't understand. Finally, he became anxious and the other party told the truth directly.

"We plan to directly set aside an independent special zone, bypassing the restrictions of Changping and Wanjing, and directly open the entrance to foreign ethnic groups and foreign lands, allowing them to enjoy preferential policies here. It is scheduled to double the city's output value and population within one year. Double that too!”

The official was furious, and Lu Pingan thought for a while before suddenly understanding. Even he showed a surprised expression.

Under normal circumstances, to solve unemployment and economic problems, we can only slowly shift the industry and continue to expand, but in today's era, we obviously do not have this time.

The war may break out within three months, and any policy that exceeds three months must consider feasibility. The officials of the ancient city won the bet on the previous development, and this one directly pushed the plan to the final chapter. .

They plan to directly designate an area, just like when they developed special zones, and directly invite outsiders to settle in. They hope to use foreign and foreign industries to expand the entire development plate and solve the employment problem. At that time, employment will not be Problem.

The bigger problem is the safety of foreigners coming here, as well as various political and public security issues.

Moreover, many of these outsiders came here "smuggled in". The ancient city officials planned to bypass the current policies and the review procedures of Wanjing and Changping, and go directly alone.

As for the surrounding villages, mountainous areas, and rivers they need, they can use the technology of outsiders to directly turn these wastelands into new urban areas.

Just in front of Lu Ping'an, the officials talked passionately about their plan to let the Mercury visitors live in the Yangtze River. On the one hand, they would use its resources and on the other hand, they would establish a defensive line.

"You ask me to think about it, but I can't do it."

Make way for peace to discern the conditions under which outsiders can enter? He can't do it either. Being a careerist and a bastard doesn't show on his face.

"No, no, no, we mainly need you as a threat of force. If possible, we hope to promote your courtyard. Your reality of 'paying five years of life to become a transcendent without danger' may not be of any use to our citizens. It's tempting enough, but in the multiverse, it's a very tempting bargaining chip. By the way, as a threat, it would be even better if you could really become an eighth-level person like a legend."
