Chapter 170 Disharmonious Sound (Part 1)(1/2)
"We are opposed to letting criminals back into the city."
Along with a burst of shouting, the square of the General Affairs Department was crowded with people. Tens of thousands of people stood in the square of the General Affairs Department. Just after 9 o'clock in the morning, a large number of reporters were filming and reporting nearby.
Early this morning, multiple groups in the city, including businessmen and councillors, issued a joint statement hoping that people from the barrier zone would not be allowed to live in the city.
Because in some fringe areas of the city, many people from the barrier areas already live in temporary shacks, and most of the buildings in the two districts that the Phoebus family is responsible for are small-sized, but in the future
It is also very convenient to modify. It can be drilled through the wall and turned into a large apartment.
The most critical thing is that the Phoebus family actually said that these houses would be provided to the first residents of the barrier area. This is incomprehensible to most people and is extremely angry.
In particular, many businessmen are currently waiting and watching. It is best to build the 119 and 120 districts into emerging business districts at the bottom. However, the Phoebes family has not accepted any investment and construction at present.
Most businessmen are rushing around in a hurry, and the construction speed of the Phoebus family is also very slow, because their entire family's financial resources are now much lower than before. The businessmen want to invest in real estate quickly, and then quickly recover their capital after construction.
According to the current economic situation at the bottom, it only takes a short time to get huge returns. This is the real reason why businessmen and congressmen gathered.
Locke stood in the lounge on the second floor, looking at the excited people below. The Internet was filled with calls to prevent criminals from entering the city.
"Your Excellency, Chief Manager, do you need me to explain?"
Michelle asked, and Locke shook his head.
"Don't do it for now. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Their purpose is very clear. We don't want to respond for now. We'll wait and see before talking."
Michelle nodded and walked over. Many council officers were watching. They were only affecting the routes of other department members entering the General Affairs Department in the square. They did not step into the General Affairs Department rashly. Locke Jiahui
There were no personnel posted at the door.
Because they knew very well that if a riot broke out, they would definitely be arrested. Although many people were still shouting, they were relatively restrained in their behavior. When they saw the personnel from the administrative department passing by, they would not stop them but would get out of the way.
Locke knew that this situation would not last long, and they would have to eat until noon at most.
There is a reason why the Phoebus family does not accept any investment. Once a large amount of investment is accepted, the construction initiative of the two areas will be in the hands of the investors, and the Phoebus family will have no control.
Therefore, Locke Phoebus said at the press conference at the beginning of the construction that he would not accept investment from anyone, and the construction of the two districts would become very slow.
Nowadays, a lot of resources are concentrated at the bottom. Many businessmen with a lot of money in their hands are jealous and try every means to invest in the bottom. After all, all the industries at the bottom are guaranteed to make a profit. Demand
It has completely exceeded the supply.
Even though the 9th Section is carrying out price control and adjustment, prices are still uncontrollable. Many commodities have gone up. This is completely uncontrollable. Even if it goes up, there is still no way to control the current huge consumption.
need.
At this time, we need to be more sober and understand that this kind of economy is only for a period of time and will not last for a long time. If the economic flow rate is too fast, it will lead to immeasurable problems in the future. Section 2 has issued early warnings many times.
Looking at the angry businessmen and some parliamentarians below, they have used this trick not once or twice.
Ye Chunwang submitted a report a few days ago, hoping to find some laborers in the barrier area to work in the agricultural base. There is now a labor shortage in the city, and many manual industries are short of people. Even though the Agriculture Department raised the salary to 1,000,
No one wants to go now, because if you go to the bottom and work for 30 days, most people can get around 2,000, or even more.
The report submitted by Ye Chunwang has stated that it will be reviewed based on the city's past criminal DNA database, and people with serious criminal acts will not be allowed to enter the eastern agricultural base.
The review process started yesterday. Once you pass the review, you can immediately work in the eastern agricultural base and receive a monthly salary of 600 yuan and a one-month temporary identity information.
Some children can also enter, but the wages will be relatively low, but food is provided every morning, noon and evening, which is a huge benefit to many people in the barrier area.
Le Xiao's previous approach was successful in a short period of time and provided an idea for the business department. The market belonging to people in the barrier area is equivalent to a buffer and isolation zone from urban residents.
It's like in an area where sunlight and darkness are mixed, the problem of the barrier zone will eventually be solved. This problem has been delayed for too long. If nothing is done, when the city really has a crisis, this problem will
When a planet is in crisis, everything is too late.
Locke turned on the light and shadow screen. In just one hour, 300 people passed the review and were sent directly to the Eastern Agricultural Base. They could start working immediately. The staff of Section 12 would instruct these people to use some tools and equipment.
The criminals in the prison now come out to work every day, because the labor force gap in the 12th Section is getting bigger and bigger. Ye Chunwang still does not plan to use machinery. After all, the Agricultural Section can provide more than 100,000 jobs, which is in the city.
here is very important.
Reporters are already reporting on this matter, and there are a lot of voices on the Internet. Many people are dissatisfied with the behavior of the criminal department, because there are indeed too many criminals in the barrier area, and the descendants of those criminals, in most cases
In people's eyes, the barrier zone is a place full of violence, and the people there are criminals.
This kind of prejudice has existed for decades. The proportion of serious criminals who are actually deported from the barrier zone is actually quite low. On the contrary, more people are deported because of riots.
"I'd better prepare an explanation in advance. After all, if this continues, I will have to respond."
Locke nodded. After Michelle left, he leaned on the chair and continued to look at the people below. It was not until after 11 o'clock that the people below finally planned to leave, but at this time the crowd was completely in a commotion.
When he got up, Locke saw Le Xiao running up at a glance, and a large number of reporters rushed over.
The shouts that had originally subsided began again, and Locke hurriedly stood up. Several council officers immediately arranged for the staff of the General Affairs Section and the personnel of Section 5 to mobilize patrols from nearby District 1 to come over.
"If I had known, I would have come here on the elevator."
Le Xiao muttered in a low voice. The reporters had surrounded her, and the people on the opposite side were holding signs and shouting slogans. Le Xiao was completely confused. They did not allow criminals in the barrier area to enter the city.
.
Le Xiao's mind was filled with questions. She had no idea why. She had just come from Area 29 and was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. She had to go to the General Affairs Department to eat and then take a nap. It was 7 o'clock early this morning.
Before I could do it, my mother pulled me out of bed.
Faced with reporters' questions one after another, Le Xiao finally figured it out, but she couldn't figure out why the people in the barrier area were so excited because they didn't live in the city and were at most working in the fringes.
, besides, not all criminals are in the barrier area, there are also people who have no choice but to leave the city for various reasons.
"I'm sorry, I don't think you need to pay too much attention to these issues, because the city is under construction now, and the establishment of the agricultural base in the barrier area in the future will also require a large amount of labor, so the barrier area is an important labor force for the future construction of the agricultural labor base in the barrier area.
, Now they are only allowed to enter the city under absolute safety considerations, and the administrative department has adopted all aspects of control over them, so everyone does not need to worry that they will endanger the lives of normal citizens."
As soon as Le Xiao finished speaking, a new round of questions came up. At this time, several directors from the General Affairs Section came directly. The members of the General Affairs Section separated the crowd, and the five sections below were quickly formed.
Human wall.
Le Xiao smiled awkwardly and entered the General Affairs Department directly under the escort of a group of department members.
"Secretary Le Xiao, it's not yet 12 o'clock, are you finished with your morning work?"
As soon as Le Xiao entered, she saw Michelle, and she stood up straight in a hurry.
"Michelle-dono has already finished it, so I came here."
Michelle turned around and said.
"Come up with me."
Le Xiao swallowed and smelled the aroma in the air. The chef made a gesture and Le Xiao nodded before following Michelle upstairs and into the office. Le Xiao saw a written description.
Manuscript.
"Write these down and modify them according to your own situation. If they continue to protest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it will be up to you to explain."
Le Xiao said oh, and as soon as Michelle got up, Le Xiao couldn't help but ask.
"Why did they gather together? Many of them are middle- and upper-class people. It is impossible for those in the barrier area to affect their lives."
Michelle glanced at Lexiao, and then walked out of the office.
"Secretary Le Xiao, you should ask me this kind of question."
Le Xiao lowered her head in embarrassment. After a while, she came to the rest area. Wu Lei happened to be there, so Le Xiao went over and asked.
"You will know this kind of thing if you think about it for a moment. Look at what is the most common among these people."
Le Xiao thought for a while.
"They should be businessmen, and then there are some congressmen."
Wu Lei nodded.
"What's the cause of the matter?"
Le Xiao looked at the news and still didn't know what was going on after reading it for a long time.
"The Phoebus House."
Le Xiao hurriedly called up the relevant news. After taking a look, Le Xiao felt very happy. Districts 119 and 120 would provide housing for the first batch of barrier area residents to enter the city, which made Le Xiao feel very good.
"But one thing is that Mr. Locke does not accept any investment."
Le Xiao said oh, thought thoughtfully for a while and then said immediately.
"It turns out that businessmen want to invest."
Wu Lei sighed.
"Why did you think about such a simple question for so long?"
"I thought it was true that people from the barrier zone came in and affected the normal business of the merchants or something."
Wu Lei burst out laughing.
"It's impossible to even think about it with your toes. Not only does it have no impact, people in the barrier areas who enter the city to work are paid every day, and they will use the money immediately after they get it. On the contrary, it will make many goods that no one cares about in the past
Selling it can also increase the income of businessmen."
Wu Lei called up the map as he spoke. In the eyes of businessmen, the two districts, 119 and 120, are very necessary to become new low-level entertainment consumption areas. In this case, this is the only place where people at the bottom will go for entertainment in the future.
Two districts, so that the money now gathered by people at the bottom will slowly flow into these two districts, and finally return to the hands of investors.
The problem now is that the Phoebus family does not accept all investments, so the construction progress of the two districts is very slow. Some people have estimated that if it continues at this speed, it may take more than a year to complete. This is not true for most businessmen.
To be continued...
