swish swish
Just after 0 o'clock, the bells across the city were still echoing, and bundles of gorgeous fireworks began to take off one after another.
The city was completely immersed in a sea of ​​joy, except that many areas in the middle and lower classes in the south were dark, and most people could only temporarily live in some districts in the west and east.
The city has not been so joyful for many years. There are a large number of goods lined up in the shops on the streets, and merchants in various shops are holding big promotions.
The light and shadow store is full of beautifully designed and crafted items. Many citizens in most areas of the middle and lower floors in the west and east have already connected light and shadow material interfaces to their homes. It costs more than 500 to install a set, but compared to buying different models and sizes
The Light and Shadow Material Storage Converter is much more cost-effective.
However, the current situation is that Angus Construction's construction teams are busy building underground projects in the east and west. Many users who want to install light and shadow material access points at home can only wait in line.
Many construction companies are currently squeezed under the two big cakes of the real estate market and coating materials. Even if the Angus family subcontracts the project of installing light and shadow material interfaces, no one is willing to do it because the profits are too high.
Low, the technical content required is relatively high.
In less than nine months, the city has completely recovered. Residents who used to live near the factory area have moved back in large numbers, and they can no longer smell the pungent metallic smell in the air.
There is not even a trace of smell inside the factory. All harmful particles have been directly stripped away by the particle waste separation machine into the waste disposal bin at the bottom during the material processing process.
Logistics along the entire eastern and western lines has also become very fast. In the past, logistics vehicles often required round-trip logistics, but now most goods arrive at regional transfer stations very quickly.
It's just that some small traders still use mountain workers to transport some goods, because the logistics cost is a bit high. If they want to install a direct logistics pipeline underground in their own store, it will cost 10,000 yuan per 1 meter and 1 ton of goods.
50 yuan, but you also need to pay a logistics pipeline maintenance fee according to the number of uses, ranging from 20 yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
Therefore, most small businesses prefer to hand over several tons of goods to mutant mountain workers for a maximum of 100 yuan at a time. In addition, now that the subways in the east and west have been opened, owners only need to spend a small amount of money to quickly transport them.
transport.
At this time, the atmosphere in the banquet hall of a mid-rise hotel was particularly solemn, completely different from the jubilant atmosphere outside the hotel. Middle-aged people were sitting at the table, watching everything on the light and shadow screen.
"What do you think?"
Violet stood in front of the stage in the banquet hall. The businessmen below were all shareholders who bought a large number of shares of the Angus family after the Angus family went public. Their combined share of the stock market was
50%. Nowadays, although many people have received part of the dividends when the stocks are delivered, there are still many people who continue to increase their holdings of the Angus family's stocks and increase their stock volume without choosing to exit.
The most difficult stage has been passed. Now with the development of the city, taxes have begun to gradually increase. The Angus family wants to delist the shareholders and take back their shares of the family stock, so they give
Many shareholders have offered good conditions, and some have signed contracts, but only a small number of them hold a negligible amount of shares. Most of them have begun to leave, but more than half of them still do not agree to withdraw.
The Angus family continued to invest money in the stock market.
Violet has already sensed something strange. These guys seem to be colluding and do not intend to accept the Angus family's departure conditions.
"Mrs. Angus, I think it is very rare for us to be able to contribute to the construction of the city, so our company does not accept such a departure agreement. I'm sorry!"
A middle-aged man stood up, bowed, and then winked at many people next to him. More and more people stood up and started to leave the venue. Avano once wanted to stop him, but was pulled back by Violi.
She paused and shook her head at Alpha.
Continuous support will make the scale of construction projects become larger and larger. Bubbles have now accumulated in large quantities with the recovery of urban industry. Once the bubble bursts, it will be very harmful to the entire city.
big.
Many businessmen have decided to bite the Angus family and refuse to let go. They will not let go when they cannot tear off a large piece of meat.
Violet has already seen this. Some businessmen have even lost money on this shareholding and are still investing. There should be huge funds behind this. Once their family cannot bear it,
, the situation will become extremely critical.
Soon everyone in the venue left, and Avano sat weakly on the chair. Now he is still considering whether to sell the Angus family's plantation land to the Hillman family. Eddie
A price of 5 billion has been offered, which is already a very high price. The Angus family's plantation only makes a profit of about 300 million a year.
After the last slave attack, the Angus family suffered an unprecedented impact. As the largest family in the family, they were denounced verbally and writtenly by the entire city, and the denunciation was very loud.
This is because the public trusts Alpha and believes that she will not favor anyone, even their own family. The Angus family has paid a huge amount of compensation and penalties, which has already cost a lot of money in construction.
This is very bad for the Angus family, which is already heavily in debt.
Although the current construction funds have been provided by the money paid by Congress, the reality is that the Angus family's listing has created a larger economic volume, and the entire family is still in debt.
"Sell it!"
Violet suddenly spoke, and Avano was a little surprised. She sat down with a smile and held her husband's hand.
"It's okay. We still have a lot of land in the manor. If we leave some of it for planting, we can still supply the entire Angus family every year."
Avano nodded, took out the phone, and quickly dialed Eddie's number.
"Mr. Eddie, I have decided to sell our Angus family's plantation to you. You can come over and sign the contract tomorrow!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Avano. I just want to help you. I'm really sorry. Our family is currently in some difficulties! I just hope that our two families will have opportunities to cooperate in the future. Don't let this happen
If any suspicion arises due to this problem, we will be responsible for the food supply to your Angus family from now on!"
Avano was a little surprised, and Eddie laughed heartily.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Avano. I believe the Angus family will get better and better in the future!"
After ending the call, Violet put her hand on her forehead. The bodyguards had already come in and the butler was still waiting.
"Would you like to go see your daughter?"
Avano said, Violet shook her head.
"No, just go home!"
At this time, Micah seemed a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and didn't know what to say for a while.
"What happened to Niya?"
Micah glanced at the head valet and head maid next to him, both of whom also looked embarrassed.
"Sir, madam, I didn't expect the banquet to end so early. Just now, the second lady wanted to go see the eldest lady, and this place is relatively close, so..."
"Okay, let's go home!"
Avano smiled helplessly. It was almost time for Alpha to ask someone from the business department to send Niya back. They were not worried because Alpha was her sister after all.
0:39
Niya was lying on the table, the cup of hot milk in front of her eyes had reached the bottom. She was holding her rumbling stomach and looking at Alpha, who was smoking a cigarette and still working. It had been almost an hour.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Alpha didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard anything. Niya couldn't sit still anymore, turned and ran to the door, opened it, but still didn't attract Alpha's attention. As soon as she went out, she saw a large row of council officers sitting in the corridor outside.
Everywhere, people are smoking or drinking, and they are all resting.
"Niya, why can't you sit still?"
A drunken female board member pulled Niya over with a smile and breathed a few breaths of alcohol into her face. Niya pinched her nose and looked at the bunch of people who looked like they were not working. She
He laughed out loud.
"It must be because you don't work well on weekdays, that's why my sister has to work so late every day."
Many people laughed for a while, and Jill sighed.
"That's not the case. There are so many things going on during our time that even eating and sleeping are a luxury."
"My sister will be happy when she wants. She promised to go shopping with me."
Many people bluntly said that Niya had to wait, because Alpha was still dealing with the problem of criminals within Section 3. It was not until last month that Osman finally came up with a detailed list of those involved in the case to Alpha. In the past few days, Alpha
Filings are processed every day, and these things need to be submitted to the General Affairs Department.
What happened on April 1 last year, Alpha finally took action. A large number of small workshops that did not meet the qualifications were shut down, especially those involved in the case. Everyone was arrested. The youngest was 9 years old and the oldest was 87.
Years old, no one escaped.
Subject 5 has now become a beautiful scenery in the city. There are more than 7,000 people taking the exam for the Acting Section this year, which is much less than last year. Alpha has requested 30% of the places, and the applicants are in order, starting from subject 1.
Once the number of applicants is full, it will automatically jump to the next course. If there are not enough applicants within the specified time, it will jump to the next course. Finally, if the candidates who have not filled in the application course will be filled up in the missing course.
Subjects 3, 4, 5, 11 and 12 are the least popular subjects, while subjects 1, 6, 7 and 9 are the subjects most people want to study.
As for subjects 2 and 10, they are very difficult to enter. This year, hundreds of people even filled out subject 13. Everyone thinks that the miscellaneous subject should be quite leisurely, but the number of people in demand for subject 13 is still 0, and all these applicants have been allocated
Arrived at 5 cores.
This year, five subjects have been selected to be the examiner responsible for the examination of the business subject. Many people know that, and some of them are tired again.
To be continued...
