How Am I Still Alive?

"How did you get permission from the Bureau of Abnormalities and the Special Service Team? This not only involves your personal influence in public violence agencies, but also means that you have meddled in the entire ancient city's reserve resource pool."

Among the team, someone asked about such words.

The questions are real, sharp, and even a little sensitive.

"Lu Pingan, do you have ambitions, do you want to be a warlord meow? If so, I won't follow meow."

Mao Mao was quite straightforward, but what he asked was heartbreaking words that poked lungs, and what he said was even more heartless.

"I'm not, I don't. I just want to develop and protect myself. I probably can see it. At our level, it is impossible to keep a low profile. We really have no power. We will only become a cake in the eyes of others and be cut. Swallow it one mouthful at a time."

Lu Pingan didn't want to test human nature, because he knew that human nature could not stand the test.

As long as you are too weak, whether it is in ability or character, all kinds of "control" and "shackles" will continue to be thrown over you.

There is an ancient book that says, if a child holds gold in a busy market, everyone will be a devil.

When treasure holders have no self-protection ability, they only worry that they are not fast enough, and others will take away the most valuable share.

"The prerequisite for peace is to be strong enough. I really don't want anything, and I'm causing trouble for myself."

Do not need anything? Others don't think so.

Are you afraid to say everything? Are you afraid to use your abilities? Are you not as strong as you appear to be?

Either that assumption would invite disaster.

"So, we have to show ambition and purpose in order to make others feel that we are not a threat, in order to show that we are safe."

It's subtle, but that's the truth.

But in fact, the core members all know that Lu Pingan always speaks only half of the good-sounding truth and ends here, and some things don't need to be so innocent.

The economic interests and resources of industrial development are the future wealth of everyone. For professionals who have been to foreign lands, it is normal to yearn for power, and stronger organizations and groups are the guarantee of survival.

Even if he thinks for the benefit of everyone, as a team leader, Lu Pingan must appear "motivated".

"As for how I got the permission from the Secret Service and the Alien Administration, you may not believe it. Half of what I said, they directly approved the matter, for fear that I would go back on my word. When planning and discussing the specific plan for this matter, they compared I'm still active."

"They are afraid that we will run away. In fact, we may not necessarily develop in the ancient city. If we really go to Changping, it may be faster."

"Well, after I came out, I was sure."

There are some things that Lu Pingan can only think about after doing them.

He just wanted to cooperate with the local people for a win-win situation and develop together, but he didn't notice that the cooperative relationship between the two parties had completely deteriorated.

The legal level is for negotiating conditions with the authorities, and it is the uncle who needs to be coaxed, but the rule level is the "wild father" who the officials beg you to come and settle down.

If there is no agreement, other cities will give more sincere bargaining chips.

There is no need to do anything at the regular level, just living in the city is a stable security guarantee. In fact, if you really live in it, it will often bring many industries and development opportunities.

Of course, Lu Pingan has not yet reached the regular level, but looking at his previous record, I am afraid that no one will think that it will be difficult for him to enter the regular level.

Therefore, it is Lu Ping An, not Gu Cheng, who holds the initiative in the negotiations at this moment.

Especially the target of the negotiation, which is completely out of bounds at the legal level, but at the rule level, it is a mutually acceptable win-win situation.

Lu Pingan cultivated reserve combat power for the ancient city, but at the same time, he also received remuneration and started his own company. At the same time, he also built up his prestige among the new generation of professionals, making many people "owe" his affection .

Judging from the red line drawn by the superior, this has not crossed the line, it is just using his own ability to help the development of the entire ancient city.

It is impossible for Lu Pingan not to use his ability. As long as he uses him, people will owe him favors and generate "gold coins". Unless his development is banned, and now this is impossible.

Drawing a line to prevent him from influencing ordinary people on a large scale is the bottom line that Lu Pingan must pay attention to.

As for hidden dangers? The big bosses at the rule level can destroy the city alone, and some hidden dangers are nothing.

Of course, if Lu Pingan was sensible enough, he would not expand the entire city like a territory of the Yu clan, and he would not make himself more prestigious than the mayor, which would only bring a series of troubles.

"Development is the last word. Thinking too much and worrying too much is tantamount to slow suicide. Whether it is us or the decision-makers of the ancient city, we all see it very clearly."

Development requires risk. As long as Lu Ping'an can really fulfill its promise and produce a second-tier professional every three months, then no matter how high the risk is, the city's Bureau of Abnormalities is willing to bear it.

Lu Pingan took out a bargaining chip that the other party could not refuse, and also broke through the most difficult joint.

"Has the Wolf King project been approved? The sample pet has completed the preliminary evaluation, and the evaluation is excellent? Oh, good job."

"Very good, the armor transformation of the ark is also going well? Not bad, not bad. If you don't have enough funds, ask Catherine (his secretary) to get it."

"The Department of Medicine is blocked. It's normal. It's too difficult to get a medical license. Why don't you get a potion license for professionals first?"

Lu Pingan counted the progress of "departments" one by one, and it seemed that they were all quite good, and each project was being implemented smoothly.

And he himself is actually implementing the "Appointment of Mercenary Project". This is to communicate with the local officials, Gucheng University and other schools, and only he himself will come.

"There are several plans for the company's residence, Mr. Lu, you can decide on one. Make it as soon as possible, so we can arrange the ribbon-cutting ceremony. We will invite many people at that time, so it is best to finalize an outline now."

In this regard, Catherine, who is Lu Ping'an's private secretary, is running, and now it is left at the meeting.

The reason why it is necessary to attend the meeting is because it is more sensitive and involves the interests of individuals within the team.

"The development zone is pretty good, where the water and electricity are cheap, and there are abundant human resources"

Catherine's mother, Ms. Marianne, who is in charge of the "Wolf King Project", put forward her own request.

But in fact, she represents the "Silent Mountain" faction in the team.

The development of the development zone these days can only be said to be quite subtle. The flagship product of "Flying Boat" has come out, but the sales results are also quite subtle. If you sell well, it is a good thing. If it hits the street, you have to start all over again.

But this kind of situation where the sales are not lukewarm, and the operating costs plus the production of products is almost equal to the total revenue, gives people an awkward feeling of wasting time and energy in vain.

The development of the development zone is not slow, but the overcrowded crowd and refugees have caused great pressure on the municipal facilities. Now the city appearance is completely unsightly, which further lowers the local housing prices, which makes the area more and more popular in the eyes of the people in the ancient city. More and more "ruralization".

But for the aliens from the Silent Mountains world here, it is very important. It is the most stable population gathering place and employment area. As long as the factories are turned on, they can solve the basic needs of countless people.

It can be said that the current development zone is equivalent to the "Last Land of Longxing" for these alien races. Lu Ping'an also went to meet his nominal boss, Wang Xi'er.

She was not only tired and thin, but also tanned. She took off her gorgeous court clothes and jewelry, wore belt pants and a short shirt, and transformed from a royal daughter into a short-haired sports tomboy running around on the construction site. Lu Pingan almost didn't recognize her.

Obviously, both Wang Xier and the development zone need more projects and investment, which is also the root cause of Ms. Marianne's hard-headedness.

Lu Pingan glanced at Catherine subtly. He knew that the High Priest in front of him was obviously being used by his daughter, but the other party also contributed a lot, and their needs could not be completely ignored.

Lu Pingan didn't want to agree, but he didn't deny it

"...No, the company should be in the Zion District! This is our root, our home."

Well, Xia Qin really jumped out and objected.

"I will fight for the minimum water and electricity benefits for the company. Do we need these preferential policies? We are not in the industry."

Xia Qin, who came to her senses, used her brains in a rare way.

If a large number of "special service trainees" are in Zion, the law and order here will naturally increase rapidly, which can save the resources of the special service team and keep one side safe.

"I also think Zion is better. You see, it is closer to that volcanic secret place. We need the forging resources and craftsmanship there."

"No, I think it should be in the university town on the other side of Guda University. Not only is the cost of advertising low and the effect is good, many college students who are hesitant may come here for a trial training."

Everyone has their own standpoint, just in terms of company location, everyone has their own needs.

At this moment, Lu Pingan understood the troubles of development.

At the same time, he also warned him that once the team expands, small groups of interests and needs of all parties are inevitable, and preparations and planning must be made in advance in terms of rules and human relationships.

He didn't say a word, just watched the quarrel silently, and he also saw clearly the positions of everyone and the relationship between each other.

In the end, naturally, the decision-making power fell to Lu Pingan.

He glanced at it, then made a judgment.

"Zion District, it's close to home. Heh, most of our homes are here."
