Even Lu, who had just returned to Mercury 42, choked after taking a deep breath.
He really didn't get used to the salty sea flavor, the burnt smell in the air, and the stench of high chemical pollution.
“It’s a bit bad”
Before he could check the situation around him, someone laughed out loud.
"Haha, young people can still joke. I almost took it seriously, haha."
The middle-aged man forced himself to laugh out loud. Immediately, the scene became very awkward, and Lu Ping'an could only laugh twice. After all, this was his parents' official.
"The air here is really bad, Mayor Qian. You'd better get some more rest. It takes time to adapt to a foreign land."
Qian Shuen, the deputy mayor of the ancient city, is also one of the people in charge of this investment project.
A director of the investment and development department came to Wanjing, and the ancient city of Lu Ping'an's hometown was very generous and directly transferred a deputy mayor in charge of light industry.
After all, the ancient city invested a lot of money this time, and no one would be able to bear it if they really lost everything. At least the person in charge must be highly qualified. They must have the level to direct the industrial layout, and they must also have the ability to truly understand the industry.
"It's okay, this environment."
Wang Xier was even more direct, taking the instrument and started collecting local climate data.
Investors from the Spreaders, Ancient City, and Wanjing (Eastern Kingdom) have all come over. Lu must be careful to receive them. Before, they were safe on the boat and could pretend not to have met them, but now as the host (and investor),
Even if it is just for etiquette and respect, Lu Ping An must accompany him for a period of time, and at least give a good introduction to the local environment.
They are not just one or two people. Each party has dozens of investors, not to mention a large number of grassroots staff.
On the other side, the forces of the two righteous gods and their mercenaries also have their own ships. They should arrive later, and the landing point may not be ordered by someone on the road.
Obviously, they also have their own interests and needs, and Lu Ping An has no intention of taking care of them, nor can he.
Others come all the way to fight, not to be conscripts. They naturally have their own interests and needs, and it is not up to me, a "new member of the forest female force," to have the final say on how to discuss it.
By completing the mission to this point, Lu Ping'an is worthy of himself, the Lin Women's Organization, and the world.
Next, other quasi-gods should be talking to them as representatives. Even though many mercenary contracts have been finalized, as for the content of rewards and the specific division of territory, it will definitely be a large group. King Kui and the others will be the result of detailed discussions.
"Let's go home"
But since Mr. Lu worked so hard, he naturally had his own calculations.
"Dragon City, I have eight cities. It is now one of the capital options for the twenty-one small and medium-sized cities (islands)."
Naturally, Mr. Lu wanted to bring this envoy to his own territory, not to His Excellency Xiu Yi and his super city.
This tourist city will be their temporary residence and a safe area for them to adapt to the local environment. No matter what they invest in next, they will naturally consider this and the surrounding area. The ownership of this area is now owned by the surname
road.
Someone on the road was even willing to give up the land to build the headquarters. But obviously, the other party did not make such an easy decision.
Even Wang Xi'er and Mayor Qian, who have the best relationship, pretended not to understand Lu Ping'an's hint. They are now agents of their respective forces. Naturally, they will give priority to completing their own work. At the moment when the situation is unclear, they will not do it so easily.
make important judgments.
"Tsk, I'll go to Yancheng next door. There is a biochemical base of mine there. If you need it, you can come to me directly."
Lu Ping'an actually originally planned to relocate them to Yancheng. After all, there was everything there, including his increasingly larger "Tree of Salvation."
But considering that the local pollution level has turned the seawater green and smelly, Lu Ping An thought it would be better to give investors a good first impression.
He is actually quite confident that after understanding the local situation, they still have a high chance of establishing the headquarters near their territory.
In fact, as a host, it is quite rude to just leave the guests aside.
But given someone's current strength and status, I had been shopping with them for a few days, which was quite a respect.
"Oh, his headquarters is nearby, so he must be very worried about the situation at his headquarters."
But now, when someone Lu runs away, the guests not only do not express dissatisfaction, but also find a justifiable reason for him.
"The environment here is indeed good. We can discuss it carefully and collect more local intelligence."
"By the way, does anyone have the contact information for Mr. Shuichi?"
"No need, she will come to you on her own."
Communicate with the local faction of Lin Nu's forces, collect local information to determine the first batch of investment directions, determine the local war situation and other trivial matters. If a "big man" like Lu Ping'an is not present, it is the good leader who determines the general direction and people.
It's better to go and have tea and chat, so that the front-line staff can handle things and negotiate easily.
Of course, they are not refusing to cooperate with Lu Pingan. In fact, Lu Pingan's identity and ability determine that he is always the best partner. However, they need time to collect and understand the surrounding situation and determine their short-term work goals.
It would be good for both parties to keep a little distance and give all parties room and time to prepare for further cooperation.
"Hey, this pier is nice."
Lu Ping'an, who was preparing to take a boat to Yancheng, also realized that he might leave this world for more than just three months.
Before leaving, Lu Ping An also assigned the first task to those who stayed behind, which was to link the "territory" he had acquired into one to form a control area in a substantial sense.
Although the original Jiaolong Island had a simple wharf and deep-water port, there was no shipyard right next to the coast. The freight/mineral conveyor belt was safe and there was a large warehouse area where people were constantly coming and going to unload goods.
"It doesn't matter what kind of mine this is. There's no need to answer. I probably wouldn't understand it even if you mentioned the name."
Large freight conveyor belts deliver goods and ores directly to large cargo ships on the seaside, and the freight routes formed by these ships are the new lifeline of the Ping An Rebirth Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Ping'an has not determined the capital of his power yet. He personally prefers Yancheng, but the environment there is really not suitable for ordinary people (mist, green sea of chemical industry). Many people suggest that it be established as Dragon City, but Lu Ping'an dislikes this.
The island is too small and the permanent population is always limited.
At that time, the team was divided into two groups. One group talked about Yancheng and suggested that the "Tree of Salvation" should increase the speed of purification so that it could meet the basic needs for survival as soon as possible. The other group said that Jiaolong City could be reinforced and appropriate reclamation and island building could be done.
Expanding the available area is not very costly in this world with extraordinary power.
"Let's do this together and see the final product before deciding."
What was originally said about Lu Ping'an eventually led to the formation of the coastal freight area and the shipbuilding industry in front of us.
If Jiaolong Island is made the capital, the resident population must move up, and as the population moves up, they must find a job. Heavy industries like shipbuilding are very suitable to solve the employment problem of young labor force.
"Almost half a year has passed."
The information returned from the investigation proved Lu Ping'an's guess, and it turned out that the time was not just more than three months.
At least, the smell of "industrial pollution" he smelled when he first arrived should not be something that can be dealt with in the short term.
"Perhaps we can take a look at the construction status of the two cities and directly decide on the capital."
