How Am I Still Alive?

The difference in timelines obviously makes the political system function a little differently.

Due to the relatively independent reality of each state, the state parliament has nominally higher authority. Some things will not change in nature. As long as the situation allows, Dongguo will still use centralized power.

Concentrating efforts on big things is an advantage, but sometimes the policies from above are not only distorted but also inappropriate for local conditions.

In this world line, due to the relative independence of each district caused by extraordinary disasters, the responsibilities of the coordinating parliament are obviously heavier.

Because there is always a need for a department to coordinate with the requirements of each state, reinterpret laws and regulations that are not suitable for itself, and apply for legislation for local policies and regulations.

"It sounds pretty good. Not to mention anything else, it's just that it can create a lot of jobs, and it allows locals to buy high-quality starter kits at the lowest price. It's well worth the investment."

"Yeah, I guess I can pass."

Parliament actually has the "power of suggestion". This kind of private "business regulations" can be proposed through this occasion.

This is actually a normal administrative system. Proposal, deliberation, decision-making, and legislation. After this set of processes, no matter whether it is correct or not, at least it is a collective decision that everyone knows. Even if something is wrong, there is no need to take responsibility. Just change it.

Mr. Lu is also much more mature than he was back then. If it were three years ago, he might have just talked to official cadres. That could indeed be done, but it would bring a series of troubles, arouse a lot of resentment, and the effect would be poor. Not as good as now.

At this time, Lu Ping'an was playing the game of two or two, turning his goal into a major issue proposed by a state legislator and discussed by the entire country.

This is also the correct way to play within the circle. Of course, the premise is that there is sufficient strength. For example, without the relationship between Lu Ping'an and Changping and Gucheng, this kind of mutually beneficial thing would not be possible. They are not willing to take responsibility.

The councilors expressed their opinion that if it was not done well, their reputation would be seriously damaged. It was their trust in Lu Ping An's ability that supported the proposal.

".A joint seminar was set up by five Zhengshen churches to further improve the plan."

It is also Lu's current ability, the trust and prestige brought by his meritorious service in the war, which allows him to speak in the extraordinary and high-level world.

These big bosses who can make the decision don’t even know what road safety is talking about, but they are willing to trust them. If the top people say something, the people below will run away.

What's more, Lu Ping An has made trustworthy long-term plans.

"As long as these large church companies unite, they can standardize and standardize the market. The focus now is that every newcomer must be armed to fight. However, the profits are too scattered and thin, causing large companies to look down on them, while small companies do not like them. Enterprises and small workshops are too unreliable.”

Lu Ping'an is probably qualified as a businessman. He sees further than everyone else.

Nowadays, various craftsmen's churches still follow the past concepts and deeply cultivate the real professional market. Any forbidden weapon or enchanted armor can be sold for millions, and the profit of hundreds of thousands is considered to be small.

The gadgets they introduced were just Dongguo's mandatory orders. They had no profit but occupied production capacity, which was very unpleasant in itself. The gadgets they produced were just a bunch of garbage that barely met the above requirements.

"It is true that weapons are cheaper and the materials used are inferior. But you can't spend 80% of the cost on the hilt, and then the budget is gone, just insert an iron plate and make it a weapon.

As an expert in this field, Lu Pingan is able to restore the mentality of the designers. They have probably never fought such a frustrating battle.

This is not necessarily their personal problem. They are accustomed to using top-grade and high-grade materials. They have no lower-level replacement materials in their reserves, production chains, and raw material supply chains.

The designers and high-level craftsmen of these "big factories" don't know that there are such low-cost substitutes, and they can't understand the actual needs of low-level extraordinary people (big factory designers: Novice extraordinary people? What do they need to be armed for? Just make do with nothing) In the previous extraordinary world, old people brought in new people, and the total number of new people was always a small number. The apprentices were actually doing pretty well.

Now, it's like an online game has just launched. A large number of new players are pouring in, and monsters are being spawned outside. Should these new players be left empty-handed?

Lu Ping An’s advantage is actually his vision. He has seen the situation of big manufacturers, official ideas, and the needs of novices. His resume makes him less extreme, and he can understand the needs of all parties, and is even willing to go Intervene and let it run its course.

"We want the big manufacturers to feel the benefits, let the novices get the weapons they can use, and let the Dongguo officials not bear endless pensions and social pressure."

Of course, it is impossible to take care of everyone, and the ones that are damaged are probably the small and black workshops that are now shoddy.

Lu Ping'an thinks this is a win-win situation. In fact, he also knows that even if he doesn't care, in a year or two, the new supply chain will stabilize, and then large factories and small factories that do well will become the backbone of this blue ocean.

"Since this cost can be avoided and we can benefit from it, why not do it."

Lu Ping'an sees clearly that this "small cost of the times" may be the lives of millions or even more people.

Although the direction is right and the results should get better and better, if you can save yourself the process and earn a fortune, why not do it.

What's more, I actually have some hidden advantages, so I'm afraid I can only do this myself.

"You mean, take a long-term view to catch the big fish. Uh, I mean, do brand and IP business?"

Once something is implemented, it is a conspiracy, or strategy. Lu Ping'an needs to make it clear to his allies.

Lu Ping'an made repeated calculations himself, and found that the current novice suit's affordable range was around 10,000 to 30,000. And at this price, you need a weapon and armor that can be used for a long time, which is a joke.

Considering that extraordinary prices have skyrocketed, far exceeding normal prices, the people of Dongguo who have experienced three years of suffering have already paid a huge amount of money.

Moreover, the need is not just one. Since it is a universal extraordinary, in addition to children, parents in their thirties and forties will also try to control it. If there are several children in the family, these are additional expenses for most people. We still follow the original social development route, but only master the ability to protect ourselves through these.

Even if it's not a waste of money, it's still a big loss, and you end up buying a bunch of junk. Such a result is unbearable.

"Around 100,000 is a relatively reasonable cost, and it is the lowest configuration. However, the official and social purchasing power of Dongguo cannot accept it. 30,000 is the limit, and it should be a luxury product. 5,000 to 10,000 should be for the public." market."

It's no wonder that the craftsmen churches that were officially requested came up with a bunch of rubbish. This quote really couldn't make the so-called standard models, and the higher-end so-called luxury models were actually not much better.

Lu Ping'an's idea is quite simple and crude.

"I and several other quasi-god craftsmen personally took action. At the same time, we used a craftsman-type god as the source of divine grace and designed more than a dozen standard models."

Lu Ping An's primary goal is to get this project the attention and support of powerful people. Among quasi-gods, Lu Ping An is probably a rare "mortal faction", and he is unusually young and capable of action.

If Lu Ping'an comes to push for "little things" that the big guys are too lazy to touch, at least they won't refute or ignore them. In this way, they can use their human resources to carry them out.

Top designers, divine blessings, and specially prepared materials can greatly reduce the cost, but no matter how you calculate it, it is still more than 50,000.

"For the rest, let Dongguo officials provide certain policy support, such as tax cuts, fee reductions, subsidies, etc. As long as the subsidies last for one or two years and the market is developed, it will be enough. The officials should agree."

This is what lawmakers are doing now. The cost reduction from tax cuts may exceed 20%, which is already considerable, not to mention subsidies.

".In this way, it still exceeds the limit by too much."

“So, I’m going to lose money for a while.”

Lu Ping'an shrugged, and what he said was quite uncapitalist.

"I would tell them that if the participating companies lose a little in the early stage, they should use policies to pave the way, and on the other hand, treat it as a long-term money-burning investment. This is a huge blue ocean market. A little loss in the early stage is nothing, etc. As this large number of extraordinary people have risen, they naturally need better equipment. At that time, our brand is the biggest advantage. We can even directly use losses as publicity. This is such a sincere profit transfer, and customers are the most important. What I can’t refuse is to make cheap money, especially from big manufacturers.”
