9 a.m.
As soon as Lexiao entered the store where the mechanical ball was rented, many people gathered around. There were many people who claimed to be businessmen and wanted to talk to Lexiao, but Lexiao ignored them.
Lexiao yawned. Last night, we discussed it until 3 a.m. before Le Xiao went to bed. Su Li directly found a room for Le Xiao. She got up at around 7 a.m. this morning. She is really feeling uncomfortable now. She is sitting in the shop.
Le Xiao really wanted to lie down and sleep for a while, but the noisy noise outside made her have to cheer up and see how the mechanical ball was doing these days.
After watching it for a while, Le Xiao became more energetic. Looking at the situation of the mechanical ball these days, it is much better than the previous few days, but it cannot be mass-produced. Once it is mass-produced, many people will lose it.
work, unless an agricultural base in the barrier zone can be established.
This can mechanize the logistics industry. Le Xiao feels that this is actually quite good. After all, it is more convenient and can avoid many problems.
During this period, Le Xiao learned that many people who deliver food are working very hard, and major merchants are constantly lowering the wages of delivery personnel. Many people may not even get 2,000 yuan for a month of hard work.
Now is a critical time for urban construction. There is an urgent need for a large number of labor forces. Le Xiao has read the recent urban work report. Many people who used to do delivery have moved to other industries. The wages of existing delivery personnel have increased significantly.
Less, but still not much. Many people very much hope to open up the commercialization of mechanical balls.
This sound became more and more intense. Le Xiao sighed. Now she could only finish the work quickly and go directly to the construction site in District 119 to talk to Locke at noon.
Le Xiao recognized everything Su Li said last night. Even if the Su family invests, everything is in Le Xiao's hands and will not be determined by capital. Rather than letting capital lose control, it is better to temporarily put everything under control.
Seize it and guide the capital in a direction that is good for the people in the city, rather than maximizing profits.
Le Xiao actually hesitated for a long time, because this already violated something, but what Su Li said the most last night was that as long as it can make the city better, there will be no problem.
Le Xiao was thinking about how to talk to Locke later. After all, the situation was more serious today. Businessmen had been submitting some letters of protest, asking the business department to respond to the matter of allowing people from the barrier zone to enter the city.
Early this morning, the city was filled with news about people from the barrier zone entering the city. Many people in the city were discussing it, and a lot of opposition voices began to appear at the bottom.
After these voices gathered together, the city began to change, and Le Xiao felt helpless.
At this time Ma Tao ran in.
"Master Le Xiao, are you eating here today?"
Le Xiao thought for a while.
"I'm going to District 119 to talk to Mr. Locke later."
Ma Tao said with a smile.
"I will make a reservation in advance."
Ma Tao knows the current situation better than anyone. In the past few days, businessmen have invited Ma Tao to dinner more than once or twice. They all want to ask about the situation at the bottom, especially some investment issues.
Because Le Xiao is now responsible for the bottom-level investment, and Ma Tao basically comes to the bottom from Le Xiao. Many people hope that Ma Tao can talk about business investment.
Ma Tao couldn't refuse. Although he agreed, he also knew that he couldn't mention this kind of thing. After all, he could see that this girl really couldn't guess what she was doing.
Although he couldn't mention it, Ma Tao still arranged for some businessmen to attend today's dinner. Then Ma Tao walked out of the store and called some businessmen who were anxiously waiting. Soon the businessmen said that they would arrange it properly.
.
Le Xiao read all the recent reports in the morning and marked the doubtful parts. When he comes back from Area 119, he will ask specifically about the situation at that time. If it doesn't work, he will have to go and take a closer look.
At 12 o'clock, Le Xiao stood up and Ma Tao immediately came over.
"Master Le Xiao, I have already made arrangements. He is nearby."
Le Xiao hummed, pressed her stomach that was already growling with hunger, and followed Ma Tao all the way there. The reporters along the way were blocked out by people from Section 5.
Le Xiao can really feel what a fly is now. She was also a journalist before, but she would never pester the person she wanted to interview so annoyingly. Le Xiao felt that it was wrong to do so.
After following Ma Tao into an alley, Le Xiao came to a large courtyard, where a table of food had been placed. There were many chefs cooking and kitchen utensils nearby. Le Xiao was a little confused.
, because she saw many businessmen as soon as she entered, she looked at Ma Tao with a slight frown.
Ma Tao explained hurriedly.
"It just so happened that a few friends I had met before came to the area, so I thought we could all have a meal together. After all, a meal requires a large number of people to make it lively!"
Le Xiao immediately frowned.
"Is that really true?"
Sure enough, as soon as Le Xiao sat down, the businessmen all held wine glasses and Le Xiao took a sip. However, the food was really good. Le Xiao ate a lot and felt dizzy.
"Master Le Xiao, I would like to ask, now I don't know when the bottom level will open a new round of business investment quotas."
"have no idea."
Le Xiao's words made all the businessmen who raised their wine glasses and wanted to ask questions feel embarrassed. Many businessmen were wiping their sweat, and Ma Tao hurriedly smoothed things over.
"Let's not talk about business while we eat."
Le Xiao glanced at these businessmen. She had seen several of them. They were businessmen from the middle and upper classes. It was these guys who were causing trouble recently.
"Didn't you go to the General Affairs Department to protest yesterday?"
Le Xiao didn't intend to talk nonsense with them, and she hated these people from the bottom of her heart. They did one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, and dug holes from time to time. In the previous renovation proposal for the movie theater, the businessmen dug holes. If it weren't for Hawke,
If He Tianai was there, that day would be really troublesome.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Le Xiao does not want to give these businessmen a good look. Su Li has said it after doing it. The businessmen now just want to find a breakthrough and use the barrier area
People are making a big fuss about entering the city and forcing the administrative department to make concessions. I am afraid that the pressure will be increasing in the future.
"I've finished eating. You eat slowly. I'll leave first."
After Le Xiao raised his glass and drank the wine, he turned around and left. Ma Tao hurriedly followed. The businessmen got up awkwardly and sent Le Xiao out of the yard with apologetic smiles. When they came back, the businessmen all looked a little depressed. After all, the bottom floor was now
The profits are so high, if you don't invest anymore, it will be too late.
Le Xiao went directly to District 119 and soon found the Locke family who were having a meal in a temporary office.
"Your Excellency Le Xiao, I wonder if there is anything wrong with you coming here?"
Locke was a little confused and looked at Le Xiao, whose cheeks were slightly red and smelled of alcohol. Le Xiao smiled and pointed upstairs.
"Mr. Locke, let's go upstairs to talk after you finish eating."
After a while, Locke came to the private lounge on the second floor. After Le Xiao closed the door, he carefully looked around, and Locke laughed.
"Don't worry, no one will come to follow us. There are very few people here. Secretary Le Xiao, if you have anything to say, just tell us."
"The purpose of my coming here is to represent the Su family, that is, can I let the Su family invest in your construction?"
As soon as Le Xiao finished speaking, Locke's expression changed, but he soon shook his head with a smile.
"We don't accept investment from anyone."
Le Xiao blushed in embarrassment, and her mind was knotted for a moment. She didn't know what to say about what Su Li told her last night.
Locke was also very confused as to why Le Xiao came to lobby him. This made Locke feel very strange, because what this girl was doing now was different from her previous acting style. She should not personally give the green light to her family business.
.
Just when Locke felt confused, Le Xiao patted his head and said.
"By the way, our plan is to quickly build these two districts and then turn them into new low-level commercial consumption districts. In this way, a lot of money will flow in."
Locke snorted. The construction of the two areas is a waste of money. The businessmen have been eyeing it. Although the Phoebus family is in great difficulty now, Locke does not want to hand over these two areas to those profit-seeking businessmen no matter what.
To solve the problem of the barrier zone, we must make this the first step for residents of the barrier zone to enter the city. Once it falls into the hands of merchants, people from the barrier zone will not be accepted here.
"Then use the money earned here, let the Su family return the cost, add part of the profit, and invest the rest in the establishment of the agricultural base in the barrier area. Su Li said that the Su family cannot bear such a big risk, and the only way
It is to allow the capital invested by the Su family to make stable money, avoid the risky proposal of building an agricultural base in the barrier area, and then let most of the profits earned be invested in the agricultural base in the barrier area, so that the Su family is equivalent to having no
A risky investment.”
Locke understood as soon as he heard this, and his expression softened. This is indeed a good idea. The Angus family cannot invest heavily just because they need to maintain multiple facilities in the city, and there are also huge family personnel and businesses to support, so
It is impossible to invest in assets above the risk value, as this is extremely dangerous.
"What do you think, Mr. Locke? In the future, the Su family will also invest in some projects in other areas on the ground floor. In this case, they should be able to make a lot of money quickly, and then the money will be directly invested in the construction of the agricultural base.
I think it’s pretty good.”
Locke pondered for a while and then said.
"Let me think about it for a while. This is indeed a good idea, but there is one thing you can guarantee, Secretary Le Xiao."
Le Xiao hummed.
"You cannot interfere with all the construction of our Phoebes family, and the profits earned by the Su family in the future will require a large amount of investment in the barrier zone. Are these two points acceptable?"
