Chapter 1352 Completely Different Attitude, Rebuilding Sunny Harbor 2.0!
For high-level decision-makers, there may be dozens or hundreds of possible outcomes of a war.
But for ordinary people, war is either black or white, and the results are only two concepts: win or lose.
However, when the news of victory was passed back to the territory, the first to be shocked were not the residents who were eagerly waiting, but the managers in Qinggang City.
"That horrible monster, my God, they won the battle, are they lying to us that they went out for a walk and came back?"
"Lie to us? I heard that there are several thousand prisoners to be escorted back!"
"Prisoners can't be faked, they must have really won, this is too amazing."
"What about Qinggang, is there no response from Qinggang?"
A group of people met at the old place again, and they expressed their inner shock as soon as they met.
It was rare for Aldridge to appear in the crowd.
In the past, relying on his connections, he could only say that he would barely avoid being excluded by the group of managers in the city because of his identity in the western suburbs, but now the situation has changed, and he has become the focus of the crowd.
If it weren't for Aldridge's cold expression, these managers in the southern suburbs would have come up to him and were eager to please him.
But then again, this was the influence brought by the alliance, not his personal influence.
Aldridge was very good at finding the right balance. Seeing that he had almost achieved his goal, he immediately put down his disguise and put on a warm attitude.
"We did win the battle, and soon, the leader will return with the expeditionary force!"
The affirmative news from Aldridge's mouth was obviously more convincing than what the spies had heard.
The crowd was in an uproar, and the shock was endless.
Of course, if the target of the expedition was changed to another human gathering place, perhaps they would not be surprised.
But everyone has seen the video released by Qinggang, and the combat power of that group of monster dwarves is simply terrifying.
Dare to fight in the opponent's lair, what kind of madman would make such a decision.
In fact, this is the result of information asymmetry.
The managers only saw the strong posture of the dwarves after they were fully equipped, and saw the advantages that the dwarves showed.
The real weak foundation and shortcomings are still unknown.
"Speaking of which, they will not come for revenge again, right?"
"Who can say for sure, but one thing is certain, if we don't take the initiative to attack, they will definitely come."
"Yes, the last time these monsters were defeated, they would definitely not give up. This time, the leader Su took the initiative to attack, which can be regarded as solving a big problem for our Qinggang City."
"We need to join the alliance!" A manager from the southern suburbs took the opportunity to say: "Qinggang City should be a whole, and we also need to contribute our own strength to the alliance. We can't sit and wait for death!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the scene became quiet instantly.
But then, the noise filled the entire conference room again, and there were chattering voices everywhere wanting to join.
The current alliance is not as precarious as it was when it was first established, and the most important thing is...
There are two different things in the wasteland with real combat power and only paper strength.
It has been confirmed that the Tianyuan Alliance does have the ability to take the lead. If you hesitate any longer, it would be a crime!
"I know you care about this the most." Aldridge nodded with a smile: "So I want to inform you of something in advance while gathering everyone here now."
He stood up and pressed the communicator on his waist.
The door of the conference room was immediately opened, and several staff members holding documents walked in.
Judging from the thickness of a document, there should be a lot of things recorded on it.
After it was distributed to all managers in turn, many people's expressions suddenly became strange.
Uh, I can't say it's very familiar, I can only say it's exactly the same.
Look at the name of the file.
"Proposal on the Complete Reconstruction of the Ground Industry in Qinggang City"
Tsk tsk, so arrogant, they didn't even change the name, and directly copied the plan that Qinggang Shelter issued after inviting everyone more than half a year ago.
Could it be that the Tianyuan Alliance feels that it is now powerful and wants to imitate Qinggang and jump out to become the king of Qinggang City?
The scene was relatively calm. All the participants lowered their heads and read the documents in their hands attentively. Almost no one questioned or made comments.
Today is really different from the past.
Although the previous Qinggang Shelter was more powerful than the current Alliance, that kind of power was very uncomfortable.
It was a kind of half-coercion and half-threat power, which was completely guaranteed by a higher level of force.
In contrast, the current Alliance showed a completely different style and took a people-friendly route.
It never showed force easily, nor did it threaten or force anyone with force. It treated every gathering place equally, regardless of size, and received equal respect and attention.
This led to some managers of micro-shelters being inherently closer to the Alliance.
And now, when they carefully read the documents in their hands, they soon discovered the huge difference between the two plans.
Although their names sound similar, the contents are very different.
This new plan is not only more thoughtful, but also pays more attention to practical operability and sustainability.
"If we contract the upper area, we can apply for a loan from the alliance, which will not only provide us with manpower assistance but also material support?" Tono, the manager of the Colt Shelter, immediately asked.
"Sorry, please forgive me for interrupting everyone's browsing. I saw in the tenth article on page six that the Soviet leader plans to introduce a large number of workers from the gathering places discovered outside to revive the factory economy of our Qinggang City. I think this If this is true, then the above ground area of our Colt shelter is the absolute best option!”
His shelter is located in the eastern suburbs, with a deserted construction site at the top, covering an area half the size of the western suburbs. It is full of abandoned small buildings and factories with uneven construction progress.
Before time travel, this was the favorite place for homeless people in Qinggang City. Most of the homeless people who escaped from other cities would choose this place to transition for a period of time.
However, if we move the timeline forward a few hundred years, this place is the center of development of the entire Qinggang City.
A large number of heavy industries want to settle in Qinggang City for local production and transportation because of the convenient transportation at the port.
The densely populated southern suburbs, the undulating northern suburbs, and the affluent western suburbs are all incapable of taking over the task.
Only the eastern suburbs on the plain side has a large area of fertile land that can be divided into major factories.
With the advantages of cheap rent and tax exemption, many well-known large factories have been attracted to settle here.
Unfortunately, before it was fully constructed, it was interrupted by a sudden war and has been abandoned until now.
If we can use the help of the alliance this time to develop all these abandoned factories on the ground...
The benefits are unimaginable.
"Mr. Tono, I have to say that your question is valuable."
Aldrich said slowly.
"The development of an above-ground factory economy in Qinggang City is already a certainty. In fact, you have all seen that our alliance has been piloting in the western suburbs for a long time, especially in Longteng Village, which has incubated no less than five large and small factories. Ten can produce tons of various urgently needed goods every day.”
"Think about it, Qinggang City doesn't have a damn city governor who needs to collect taxes, and there are no professional and technical barriers that those large forces hold tightly in their hands. We don't care about producing anything, even if it's for them. The product is copied one-to-one without paying anyone a single iron coin for the use of the technology!”
As he spoke, Aldrich himself laughed out loud.
"Open a factory, and the alliance will not only provide you with the necessary technical support, but also arrange for obedient and honest labor to work at your place. What do you need to do? Yes, you just need to boldly join the alliance's reconstruction plan. It won't take long. Over time, you can pay off the initial loan.”
"And the most important thing is that joining the shelter in the plan will be regarded as joining the alliance. You will be protected by the alliance, especially those factories. The alliance's army will protect every factory opened in Qinggang City, even if no one can Cross this red line!”
Then, Aldrich highlighted three aspects.
First, although the loans obtained for starting a factory are not interest-free, the interest rates are generally not high.
If the factory's efficiency can really fluctuate according to the standards in the plan, then it will only be a matter of time before it is completed.
At the same time, if you are willing to use your own resources, you can directly save the expenses incurred in the borrowing process.
Second, the alliance will never charge the factory for the use of technology patents. Instead, when the technology is updated, it will be shared free of charge as soon as possible, and dedicated engineers will be assigned to visit the factory to provide training and consultation.
Third, all factories opened in the early stage have limited quotas, especially those that produce in-demand goods. Some even only have one quota.
If someone applies, then the remaining people will not be able to open it, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to the alliance.
"Then what the alliance earns, it can't be really for the development of Qinggang City, right?"
Tuono was stunned for a moment and said the question that everyone was most concerned about at the moment.
Technical support, low-interest loans, military protection...
With so many benefits, it would be unreasonable if the alliance had no room to make money.
And they will also join the alliance next. Without profit points, they may not be stable in the future.
"Hey, why did you mention the key issue again?"
Aldrich almost thought that Tono was the one he hired.
"Of course the alliance wants to make money, and it wants to make money hard, making an astronomical amount of money that none of you can even imagine."
"But please remember, the alliance never makes money from its own people, we only take money from outside!"
Throughout history, in the wave of industrialization, almost every booming economy in its early stages was pursuing more efficient production and a broader market.
Although internal taxation is important, in the short term, how to promote the explosion of industrial production and create more goods for export is more important.
After all, there is an obvious trade deficit. The income from expanding exports is almost dozens or hundreds of times that of internal digestion. It is possible that one transaction can bring unimaginable gains.
In particular, the giant dragon Xianjiang has now appeared in the New World in advance. Tianyuan's unique geographical location and resource advantages can fully digest the huge potential of the river economy.
"We have a large number of cargo ships, and several are launched every day that can be used for cargo. We have a fleet armed to the teeth, which can ensure that the goods we produce can be sold to far away places without worrying about being ambushed by interested parties on the water. "
"Mr. Tono, have you forgotten why dozens or hundreds of factories want to settle in that area in the eastern suburbs?"
After hearing his words, Tono was a little distracted and failed to answer immediately.
But his reaction just gave the answer.
Yes, how could he forget the important link of the external market?
No wonder the alliance suddenly wanted to revive Qinggang City at all costs. Perhaps they have already found a buyer?
A group of managers in the southern suburbs raised their heads and looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
Perhaps it was because the previous plan of Qinggang Shelter was too domineering. When they first saw this reconstruction plan, they almost instinctively wanted to reject it.
But now if it can really be carried out according to the model described by Aldridge, the future of Qinggang City is really just around the corner.
"Damn, our southern suburbs are all residential areas. Even if we rebuild, there is no place to start production."
"Damn Archon, why didn't you arrange some factory areas for the southern suburbs?"
"Can we renovate the building and let the workers go to work inside the building?"
"It's easy for workers to go up, but how can the machinery and equipment go up and how can the goods be delivered?"
"Why not demolish the building and rebuild the factory on the ruins?"
The managers of the southern suburbs started to shout, and the voices became louder and louder.
Judging from the fact that there was no discussion against the plan itself, the implementation of the reconstruction plan was already a foregone conclusion.
Soon, the managers of the eastern suburbs reached a consensus and agreed on the spot to go to Tianyuan for in-depth consultation.
As for the southern suburbs, seeing that there would be no results in a short time, Aldridge could only take the initiative to disperse the meeting.
Although the alliance had made a plan for the residential areas in the southern suburbs before preparing this plan.
But there is still time now, and it is not a bad thing to let these people quarrel.
A bunch of fence-sitters!
Aldridge cursed in his heart, people always don't know how to cherish what they can easily get.
Only by letting them quarrel and fight for something, will they feel that what they have grabbed is really delicious.
Otherwise, even if they get a treasure that others are extremely envious of, they will feel that their treasure is not as good as others' treasures after a while.
But then again, it has to be the leader of the alliance Su.
The non-competition restriction stipulates that only one factory can be opened in the city within the time limit.
For a group of managers, it can be said to be a perfect hit on the weakness.
No one wants the duck at their mouth to fly away. This competition directly ensures that the managers will never unite.
With the conflict of interests, the difficulty of the alliance's next plan will be greatly reduced.
When the first breakthrough appears, what awaits everyone will be an avalanche of "joining"!
