Chapter 1574 Digging a hole
"I just want to do something, why is it so troublesome?"
Although it was a bit annoying, Lu Ping'an didn't do anything too rude by just running away.
Let’s talk about private matters. Looking at these familiar yet unfamiliar faces, Lu Ping’an also felt a little emotional.
"How come he's still alive? Oh, he has extraordinary powers. Indeed, that's a terminal illness in the technological world, but in this world, as long as you take a gamble and become a professional, you can be saved."
"Oh, oh, oh, I remember he's divorced. Did he bring his wife with him this time?"
"Oh my god, aren't they a gay couple? Why did they both bring their girlfriends? Oh, I understand, they haven't come out yet."
In the circle of friends and classmates, especially those who have not been in touch for a long time, the most widely circulated things are all kinds of gossip.
Lu Pingan smiled from time to time and seemed very friendly, but no one realized that he had eaten his fill of melon.
The class reunion ended very quickly. It was originally an advance regular gathering. Lu Ping'an, an outsider, although new here, quickly integrated into the group. After all, they had been classmates for three years and had many memories.
Everyone was very enthusiastic, especially towards Lu Ping'an, who were concerned about his well-being. In their impression, Lu Ping'an was just a somewhat taciturn old classmate who was not very familiar with other classmates. Unfortunately, he encountered a terminal illness before the college entrance examination.
For most ordinary people, the extraordinary world is too far away. Even if they have heard of Lieutenant General Lu Ping'an, they will most likely just glance over it and then be surprised that they seem to have a classmate with a similar name.
Lu Ping'an received several business cards and invitations to get together more often. Although he knew that if they didn't keep in touch, they would soon become distant from each other, he was still a little happy. After all, in his world line, the so-called classmate relationship is full of the smell of money.
Of course, ninety-nine percent of it is his own problem. When he lives as a profit-seeking businessman and looks at everyone around him purely as a resource, he naturally becomes a resource in the eyes of others.
"Unfortunately, I just came back from a business trip and will be leaving soon"
Lu Ping'an did not deliberately conceal anything and he really went with the flow regarding his identity.
He gave the other party his contact information and just got along with him as friends.
As for Liu Yu's request, Lu Ping'an had to seriously consider it. This was not his personal request, but the request of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of workers.
"If it weren't for this request, I might have given priority to the visitors from Mercury 42."
Foreign workers are cheap, loyal, and hardworking. They are willing to work overtime without overtime pay. Why not choose them? On the other hand, the semi-unemployed workers are basically over 30 years old, and half of them are even over 40 years old. Their knowledge and abilities have been finalized, and they still need to support their families.
If we look at the price-performance ratio alone, it is clear what choice the company will make.
".But do I need that little money?"
As for Mr. Lu, the thing he lacks the least is probably the currency of the East Country.
This money cannot buy rare extraordinary resources, cannot open the way to the next level, and cannot buy extraordinary warriors and weapons. However, the resource that the local mortals need most is money.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an began to understand why the Dongguo officials had to withstand such high pressure and forcibly separate the Dongguo currency and the "Extraordinary Credit Coin".
If the extraordinary people were really able to plunder and squeeze out a large amount of value from ordinary people, God knows what would happen.
And now, as long as I earn less Dongguo currency, it seems everything is acceptable.
You can produce extraordinary warships and extraordinary items. The gains at that time will definitely be credit coins, but if you adjust the product structure and include some low-end products, the income from Dongguo coins will not be low.
At the same time, there are obvious differences between this world's extraordinary battleships and Mercury 42. The technology of this world can be fully used. This is the biggest advantage of mankind over foreign invaders and the home advantage of civilization over barbaric invaders.
Even if one builds an extraordinary warship, the various equipment and weapons on it can be directly purchased from technological creations and mutated mechanical creations. They are truly inexpensive and easy to mass-produce, and the production lines of these machines and equipment can provide employment for a large number of ordinary people.
Previously, Lu Ping'an planned to buy it directly, but now, perhaps he could consider introducing some production lines. If he asked for it himself, the defense department should give him face, and some military equipment factories as downstream and affiliated enterprises could also settle in the ancient city.
To be precise, it was Lu Ping'an who opened a source and built a production base upstream, and then attracted investment and invited military-industrial enterprises to come and share a piece of the pie. In theory, they should thank us.
“When the time comes, let’s talk about giving priority to local employees.”
Lu Ping'an thought and acted. He did not wait but called directly to contact.
He explained the relevant matters, expressed his wishes, and asked his secretarial team to discuss the details. God knows how many people will have to work overtime all night after he made a phone call.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be results tomorrow."
Lu Ping'an put down the phone, thought about it for a while, and when he was sure there was no problem, he didn't care about it.
"beep!"
But a phone call came in, from the Phosphorus people.
“You guys are well-informed.” After saying a few words, Lu Ping’an didn’t make any promises or agreements and just hung up.
God knows how much power those phosphorus-scattering people have in the local area. I had just met Liu Yu, and they came to find me.
Lu Ping'an, who always pursues fairness, did not agree to the "competition on equal terms" proposed by the other party this time. Because if there is really no restrictions on the competition, it would be the greatest injustice to the weak.
However, Lu Ping'an doesn't want to be accused of racism by just expelling all the people who spread phosphorus.
He was a little upset. He had obviously just wanted to seize the last time, make more arrangements, and prepare a way out for his fellow villagers before the war, but he didn't expect to encounter so many difficulties.
".A necessary price. In fact, all parties have been patient enough with you. Especially the officials of the East Country, their trust in you is full."
Big cat, however, seems to have some different ideas.
"What do you mean?"
"If you want this place to be the breeding ground for your clan, you need to exoticize this area, or even cut off a part of your own garden to integrate with the local area, right?"
".Yes, I am very involved."
"But the other party is also very sincere. From the perspective of the East Country and the Ancient City, what's the difference between this and ceding land? No matter how much economic and material benefits you can bring, this piece is equivalent to yours. Look at other Orthodox churches, which one's headquarters is not in the corner of the map? But here, it's the city center. This is equivalent to entrusting the safety of the city's million people to you."
Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an suddenly understood.
Perhaps, the trust they give even exceeds that given by all the righteous gods.
After all, isn't a world with its own rules the kingdom of gods on earth? The kingdoms of other righteous gods are far away from the city.
".This is equivalent to telling you that even if you use this area to ascend to godhood, it is allowed."
Lu Ping'an opened his mouth but said nothing. This trust might be too heavy.
He just wanted to seize the last moment before the war, make more preparations, or at least arrange his "afterlife", but he didn't expect to receive a gift and trust that far exceeded his expectations.
Some things cannot be said directly, which is actually equivalent to hinting.
"If the worst happens, we can raise the throne here, turn the kingdom of God on earth into the ship of God, and run away with the people of the ancient city."
