Jean Of Bright City 13 - Chapter 2166
As dusk approached, many people in the barrier area walked towards a small sales area in front of them in twos and threes. Many people took the money they earned today and planned to buy some things and then went back to the barrier area.
The market is very lively. There are a lot of people from 5 disciplines patrolling. Most of the things they sell are some daily necessities, and some ointments. Many things are eliminated in Bright City, but now many people at the bottom I took these things out and sold them. Many hawkers were elderly people, and most of their things were repossessed.
A little over ten meters away from the small market is District 116. People in many cities are watching this small market, but they can’t enter this market. People in many cities are watching, and near the market, There is a management office jointly established by the Acting Section, and many people line up in long lines.
The people in line are all registering in all aspects, because now the Acting Division has decided to open several such small markets for people in barrier areas in the outer areas, and many people want to enter the market to sell something.
The current situation is much better than before, and many people feel more at ease, because people in the barrier areas will not enter the city. The gully areas are still undergoing various demolition and construction. Some people in the barrier areas have moved into some temporary areas. The sheds were built to facilitate soil cultivation the next day.
Most people at the bottom did not have much objection to the entry of people from the barrier zone into the city, because seeing is believing, they did not cause any major riots, and the public security at the bottom has never been better.
What makes many people a headache is that many daily necessities are often out of stock, and the shelves in many stores are empty, but there will still be goods every few days, but they will soon be sold out.
Many people feel that the intermittent supply cycle of goods is getting longer and longer these days. Some goods may not be available for a week, and the price of food has also risen. But now many people at the bottom have a rapid income. It has grown, and many people are very happy every day, and the activities organized by the bottom-level department are still continuing.
Many people at the bottom have never experienced such a lively business scene. Now more people at the bottom are concerned about the establishment of agricultural bases in barrier areas, because many people believe that once the agricultural base is established, the current prosperity of the bottom can be achieved. Continue.
The sky gradually dimmed, and after 6 o’clock, there was only a red light in an instant. The city fell into darkness in the blink of an eye, but soon the lights came on.
It was completely different from the past. The lights on the ground floor were unusually bright, while the middle floor only had lights on in the residential areas, and in many places there were only sporadic lights on.
For many people, the life they want to see now is what they want to see. Although the bottom layer was once lively because of construction, it is nothing compared to this period of time.
Especially near the end of the year, when 2278 is about to usher in, many people are already preparing for the New Year.
It’s just that there is a shortage of many materials. Many people hope that Congress can solve this problem as soon as possible. Especially now that some small workshop factories at the bottom have started to start again, but most of these factory equipment are relatively old and are in compliance with standards. Under the circumstances, the output is very low and the staff is insufficient. After all, the salary is relatively low, and it is even better to work on the construction site.
Many such small workshops and factories with more than ten people urgently need some investment, and the investment enthusiasm of the businessmen is also very high, but now the bottom-level investment is controlled by one person, the secretary of 13 departments, Le Xiao .
However, Le Xiao did not agree with the investment of many business people. Now only a small part of the bottom business people invest in various aspects in the region, but these investments are far from enough for the huge bottom.
Many people hope that the middle and upper class businessmen will invest as soon as possible, so that these small workshops can quickly produce goods, and the current shortage of goods can be alleviated.
The temperature began to drop in just half an hour. Many people living in the ramparts returned to the huts, while those still living in the ramparts got on nearby trucks.
The debate in the city over the entry of people from the barrier zone into the city continues. Many reporters wanted to enter the gully area where the people from the barrier zone were located for interviews, but they were indeed prevented by the Acting Section.
However, some reporters were still filming outside the cordon, and others were thinking about entering secretly, but soon several reporters who entered were caught by the staff of Section 5, and were directly handcuffed and taken back to the local security management office.
Ma Tao was also nearby. He saw a few reporters being brought over, so he gave serious education, and then directly punished them for taking part in punitive block cleaning work in the future.
Since large-scale protests took place in the middle and upper classes of the city yesterday, an order from Niya has come down, absolutely not allowing anyone in the city to enter the living quarters of the people in the barrier zone, especially journalists.
In order to be able to do this, Ma Tao has strictly ordered his men to stare at nearby surveillance cameras, and immediately go in for arrest if he finds anyone who has passed by.
“If you drag on like this, a big problem will happen sooner or later.”
Ma Tao knows very well what the middle and upper class businessmen are making these past two days, and he also knows that if the businessmen invest, the current prosperity of the bottom class will make them make a lot of money, and in the end the money will return. Go to the upper-middle level, while the bottom level will return to the same way. This is probably why Le Xiao doesn’t want merchants to invest heavily.
Seeing that many people at the bottom were really anxious now, Ma Tao couldn’t help it. Several merchants from the upper and middle levels had no choice but to go back after Le Xiao left at noon.
The protests of the businessmen will intensify, unless they can be allowed to invest at the bottom. Ma Tao has experienced countless times, and every time he saw the Congress compromise, and the investment of the businessmen did bring a good economy to the bottom. , But when the economy flows too fast, there is only a piece of chicken feathers at the bottom level, and the merchants will leave at this time.
The upper-middle class is getting better and better, while the bottom is getting worse and worse after being exploited again and again, and finally becomes a completely different group from the upper-middle class. Everyone wants to escape here.
Over the years, Ma Tao has seen many young people leave the bottom, some have returned, and some can only continue to struggle in the middle.
“When is this the head?”
Ma Tao really can’t bear to see such a situation again and again. This lively scene in front of him, once the construction is over, the ground floor will return to the same way, and because of the rapid economic flow, it will continue to be heated up. At the bottom of the world, consumption has exceeded the consumption of the bottom by many times in the past, and this situation will only have one result in the end.
If the heat wave recedes, only a piece of scorched earth will remain, and nothing will be left at the bottom. This kind of thing has been repeated again and again. Many people will find it difficult to achieve prosperity at the bottom and then rise to the middle in their lives.
Because everything at the bottom, as the most basic thing, will be constantly squeezed. Ma Tao pressed his hat and closed his eyes. In his mind, it was the first time he patrolled the streets on the bottom. Coming from the middle level, as the first-generation city manager, he was able to enter the management because his parents were both servants of the family.
Ma Tao, who came to the bottom for the first time, deeply felt what is called ruin, but half a century passed, and the bottom is still the same.
Ma Tao didn’t know why the merchants refused to stay at the bottom level. If only a little bit was needed, the city would become much better, but the reality is impossible.
Ma Tao opened the news. Protests and demonstrations have erupted everywhere, and many middle and upper-class people have joined the wave of protests under the agitation of business people.
The situation will become the same again. Ma Tao really can’t stop anything. Just when Ma Tao was secretly hurting himself, the phone rang, he hurriedly turned it on, and immediately determined Le Xiao’s location.
Sure enough, after a short while, Le Xiao came over. The accompanying people included the Su family, the Angus family, and the Abren family and Phoebes family. The surrounding reporters rushed. Go up, Ma Tao immediately ordered.
In a short while, a large number of people in 3 and 5 subjects emerged from the streets and alleys, and many reporters were blocked outside.
Ma Tao ran over, and there were more than a dozen officers accompanying him. He saw the smile on Le Xiao’s face. When he was puzzled, an officer pulled Ma Tao and said.
“Lao Ma, the bottom layer will soon receive investment from the three major families.”
Ma Tao was shocked, and he did see that in the face of the current lack of living materials at the bottom, investment and construction are necessary.
The group of people directly crossed the cordon and entered the foul-smelling area that had been dismantled in Mapingchuan. The smell floating in the wind was unpleasant, and Charles pressed his nose slightly.
“It doesn’t smell good, right.”
Locke said with a smile. Charles smiled helplessly. Ma Tao immediately handed over a bunch of protective masks, but the group refused. The reporters were all shooting. Although Charles wanted to get one, he finally held back.
Charles is happy now, because the problem of risk control in the construction of agricultural bases in the barrier area has always been a problem that plagued Charles, but now this problem has been solved.
For the current good business forms at the bottom level, investing in some industries at the bottom level can make a profit without losing money, but there is only one thing that makes Charles somewhat helpless, but this is understandable. Every penny earned by the bottom layer must be retained. At the bottom, it cannot be transferred to the upper-middle-level industries.
“It’s very empty here, right.”
Le Xiao smiled and said that at the investment consultation meeting just now, many people had differences in the investment of some small workshops, because to invest in a large number of small workshops and factories in such a messy bottom layer, it is necessary to carry out various supporting facilities. Demolition and construction are indispensable for investment, and the investment is bound to be a lot more.
At this time, Le Xiao directly suggested that all such small workshops should be moved to the malodorous area, and the problem could be solved. Le Xiao’s proposal was approved by everyone.
Because it is indeed necessary to carry out reconstruction in the area, it will cost a lot of money, and various problems will affect such reconstruction, and if you move outside, you only need to simply build some leveling factories for production. That’s it.
If you only need to plan properly, a new type of factory area that belongs to the bottom people can be born. If more and more, living materials should soon be able to meet the demand, and it can also effectively make the products that are still increasing in price. They stabilized and returned to the original price.
Le Xiao plans to write a report when he returns tonight, and then gather all the merchants in the small workshops at the bottom that can produce materials, and then hold a symposium. The investment of the three major families can be put in place soon.
This kind of simple factory can be built in one day at the earliest, and it can be put into production the next day. The key is whether there will be strange voices in the Hosen family.
“I think it’s better for you to talk to him about this matter, Su Li.”
As Violet said, Su Li laughed helplessly.
“I’ll talk to him tomorrow.”
The Horson family actually controls more than 70% of the city’s mechanical products, and the production equipment requires a certain degree of help from them.
Many people in the barrier area have come out to wait and see. Once these small factories are started, they will inevitably need a lot of labor, and the people in the barrier area can solve this problem to a large extent, and their salary will not be too high. Can create a lot of profits for these business people.
In Ma Tao’s view, this can be regarded as an attempt. In this way, the relationship between the people in the barrier area and the people at the bottom is gradually narrowed, and the people in the barrier area are slowly integrated into the life of the city, and everything will become in the future. It’s bright.
It’s just that Ma Tao’s biggest concern is that the other big families, including the big merchants in the city, will probably protest more seriously, because this is equivalent to putting them outside, and some of the products they produce In the end, all the profits went to the several large families that invested.
In this way, the remaining merchants would never allow it. Ma Tao looked at Le Xiao and said something happily while everyone else was smiling. Ma Tao took off his hat. He felt that Le Xiao was really strange. .
Ma Tao can’t say this kind of feeling right now, but what is certain is that once it is true as Le Xiao said, if it is done, the bottom layer does not need to be controlled by those big capitals. These factories in the foul-smelling area can be satisfied. All the needs of the bottom people.
Some journalists who are allowed to report on the sidelines have already begun to report on this shocking big news. The three big families will directly announce the incident tomorrow and establish a joint investment company at the bottom to invest in all aspects of the bottom.
Just as Le Xiao happily explained, when a phone call came over, Le Xiao was taken aback and hurried to the side.
“Your Excellency, Secretary General.”
“You will come to the General Affairs Section later, and I will be with the supervisor and the section chiefs of several other sections.”
The phone hung up, and Le Xiao swallowed. She didn’t know if she was right or wrong in doing this, but Le Xiao felt very comfortable and should be right.
