"Grand leader, since that's the case, why do we still want to join the Asian League?"
Minister Jin expressed his confusion that joining the Asian League will not make their lives better, so it is better to maintain the status quo. At least their current living standards have far exceeded most Daxia people.
"Short-eyed!"
Leader Li sighed.
"In recent years, we can still rely on selling rags and gangsters. When the rags are sold out, our good days will come to an end. There is no food. Aren't you afraid that those who join the army will rebel?"
As the saying goes, there are three thousand nails left in the broken ship.
Before the Southern Dynasty, the industrial strength was very strong. Now, by selling second-hand equipment and scrap copper and iron, it can barely maintain the survival of two or three million people.
But it won't last long for a long time.
Joining the Asian League is the only way out.
Of course, Minister Kim also knew the current dilemma, but he just subconsciously ignored it. People, most of the time, only care about the present moment and rarely have long-term plans.
Moreover, he had sent his family to Daxia and had no worries.
Such practices like him are currently very popular in the Southern Dynasties, and even the great leaders are no exception. Except for the great leaders' wife, all other relatives are not around.
The kind of passion that bravely fought the chaebol and pleaded for the people was only three years later, and the edges were smoothed out by reality...
Instead of making the country better, their struggle pushed her to the brink of destruction with their own hands. Is there anything more ironic than this?
By just getting through, it became the truest portrayal of their group of people. Instead of defeating the evil dragon, they transformed into another evil dragon.
"Big leader, you are still far-sighted."
Minister Kim said with sincerity.
Leader Li Da lit a cigar: "Minister Jin, listen to me, it is a time of great struggle. We must follow the trend, so that we can benefit the country and the people and ourselves."
"I see."
"Okay, finally, I would like to remind you that the replacement work in Guanyue District must be completed as soon as possible and do not leave any hidden dangers."
“Yes, guarantee the task is completed.”
...
It was Saturday, February 8th.
Xu Dong finally took the time to come to Jinchang'an Building. After the Q8 Hotel was acquired, at Xu's father's suggestion, he simply moved the company here.
"Old Xu, you finally came. The company has accumulated a lot of things in the past two days. You need to make a decision in person, and there are recruitment matters, and you also need to have an interview."
Since returning from the Southern Dynasty, Mr. Cai and others have been busy with the preliminary preparations for cheap apartments.
Although Xu Dong gave the other party great autonomy, he nodded in agreement for some major matters, especially when it comes to financial transactions.
"Isn't my dad here? It's the same for you to look for him." Xu Dong said in confusion.
"Oh, Mr. Xu is even busier than us. He is usually at the bakery and can't even meet him. When he calls, he says that you are responsible for everything in the company."
Mr. Cai said with a wry smile.
Xu Dong touched his chin. The bakery was undergoing a second round of expansion. No wonder my dad didn’t have time. Compared to the big events of the bakery, the Kuai8 Hotel is indeed not worth distracting.
"Okay, there's no need to hurry to recruit. It's enough to recruit a few people for now. When Hancheng University is renovated, we will start large-scale recruitment."
A cheap apartment with tens of thousands of beds requires not a small number of employees.
Although the grassroots employees can be recruited locally, it is better for the main management to be the ones who are the ones, so that they will not be easily overturned.
"Old Xu, you can't hurry to recruit, but you must participate in the design of the apartment. We really can't make up some plans."
Mr. Cai quickly explained.
"Is that true? The preliminary design plan has come out?"
Xu Dong followed the other party into a small conference room.
"I came out yesterday. Hancheng University was originally a large living community, which was very suitable as a cheap apartment and did not require drastic reconstruction."
"Okay, you can call all the people here. Let's hold a closed-door meeting today to try to determine the reconstruction plan."
"I'm just thinking that, please wait a moment, I'll inform other people to come." Mr. Cai quickly agreed.
Xu Dong waved his hand and let the other party be at will.
In less than ten minutes, the small conference room was full of people. The original Kuai 8 Hotel had nine management staff, and Xu Dong happened to have ten people.
Before the meeting began, Mr. Cai first introduced Xu Dong to everyone, and this was the first time everyone saw the boss behind him.
Xu Dong said a few inspiring words symbolically. In summary, the company has a bright future and everyone works hard. Everyone here is the company's veterans, and the company will not treat people who work seriously.
"Smack it..."
Whether it was sincerity or falsehood, the applause was very warm and everyone looked full of energy.
Then, the meeting began.
Mr. Cai prepared PPT and schematic diagram in advance so that Xu Dong would not be disgusted.
The first big problem is water supply and power supply.
Xu Dong frowned and said, "Is there no power plant in the Hancheng District?"
"No, but Renchuan Port has it, which is only forty kilometers away from the city. Speaking of which, this power plant was planned to be built by our consulate and is located in the embassy area."
The Civil War in the Southern Dynasties was no joke, and the power stations outside the embassy area had long been blown up.
"How large is our consulate? How can we build a power plant?" Xu Dong said curiously.
"Hehe, Lao Xu, you will definitely be shocked when you say it. Our consulate has an area of 45 square kilometers, which is half larger than our Guanyue District."
"It's amazing!" Xu Dong sighed.
"According to the news I found out, such a large area was voluntarily sent to us by the Southern Dynasty. If we hadn't moved the consulate to Renchuan Port, the port might not have been able to be kept."
"Smart enough, you can think of this method."
"I guess there is nothing I can do. If there were no continuous blood transfusions from Renchuan Port, Hancheng would not be able to support today."
Xu Dong nodded and then ordered: "Since there is electricity at Renchuan Port, I'll just take a line over it. We won't have to build our own power plant, right?"
"Old Xu, the investment in the power plant is not as high as expected, and the profit is very considerable." Mr. Cai tried to persuade.
"Stop." Xu Dong refused directly, "It's not that the power plant is fine if it is built, but also involves coal burning and power transmission, which is not something we can intervene."
He works in the power company himself, and the water here is very deep. With their background, he dare not easily get involved.
Mr. Cai was a little disappointed.
"But, let's apply? The consulate may not agree. And the cost of a 40-kilometer route is definitely inevitable."
Xu Dong waved his hand: "This matter is not urgent. Let's talk about it when the civil war in the Southern Dynasties ceases. Then someone will naturally help us solve these problems."
