11 a.m.
Most of the family members gathered in the shack behind the barrier. In just one hour, for many members of the family, such an experience was unprecedented. Even if they were wearing thick clothes, they would still feel the chill.
It penetrates into clothes pervasively and continuously removes skin problems.
There was always a creepy sound of wind whistling in my ears, which seemed to tear people apart. There were visible sand grains in the air, as well as some large objects passing by, and my nose was always filled with the smell of metal.
Dryness is a common experience for everyone. Many people feel as if they are sick and are always coughing.
Honghong was sitting in the room, her body feeling a little warmer. Jiang Hao kept putting tissues into his nostrils, and he seemed extremely uncomfortable.
"Can I really stay in this kind of place?"
Jiang Hao asked, Angus and his wife on the side smiled helplessly, and Violet said.
"It is indeed difficult to adapt to it at first, but you can get used to it in about a week. This land is very scary for people who set foot on it for the first time, because there is only wind, sand, coldness, and darkness. But that's it.
So many people can live on this land, and in such a harsh environment, they can still build barriers."
Chen Qiao sat aside without saying a word, while Wang Degui sighed.
"If the people on this land perish, perhaps the Brilliant City will not be far from perish."
Avano looked at Wang Degui with some surprise. Except for the Su family and the Phoebus family, people from the other six major families were not in this room.
"It's surprising that you would say such a thing."
Field said with a hint of ridicule, everyone knows that with the changes in the city now, the Wang family is the one who has made the biggest profit. They own a large number of rental properties in the city, especially on the ground floor. Wang Degui is very smart and knows about things like houses.
As long as the economy is good, the value will increase. Therefore, even if the economy at the bottom of the city is very bad for a long time, Wang Degui does not sell some houses at low prices.
Instead, they are rented at very low prices, so many of the properties on the ground floor are now owned by some companies under the Wang family. Even when Wang Degui was still at a time when the price of ground floor housing was low, he acquired a lot of houses and placed them in every district on the ground floor.
There are Wang family assets.
Now the rent has at least tripled compared to before, especially for commercial areas, Jiang Hao said with a cold snort.
"It's really ironic to say something like this from your mouth."
Wang Degui just smiled. Only the Wang family knows the pain of the Wang family in recent years. It seems that the Wang family owns huge real estate, but the maintenance of the real estate requires a lot of money. In recent years, the transaction of houses, except for some in the more lively areas of the middle and upper classes,
Apart from commercial housing being profitable, real estate in other places is really not profitable.
Section 7's management of ordinary housing and commercial housing is extremely strict, because businessmen are not allowed to speculate on houses to the point that ordinary people can't afford them, but the rich don't care, commercial housing is the most profitable.
But the city is no longer what it used to be. There is still a constant rotation of classes. After the class is solidified, it is almost impossible to climb up from below. Therefore, the transaction volume of commercial housing has been very small in these years.
And the Wang family has to maintain a huge industrial scale, which can only be maintained by renting houses and part of the housing transactions, but this has almost exhausted the Wang family.
During this period, the most discussed thing among the Wang family was to sell some houses that were unlikely to appreciate in value, so that they could get a large amount of cash and then withdraw from the stock market, but Wang Degui decisively rejected it.
When the Wang family was in the most difficult situation and could only find other families to raise funds, Wang Degui did not sell the house because he knew that the opportunity would definitely come, but he did not expect that the opportunity would come so quickly.
Even in the two districts 119 and 120 that have been bulldozed, the Wang family still owns a very large area of ​​land. These lands have been authorized to the Phoebes family for construction. All the commercial value subsequently produced by the land belongs to the Wang family.
direct beneficiaries.
Many of the houses on the ground floor that were selected as movie theater addresses belonged to the Wang family, and the Wang family did not intend to sell them. Jiang Hao had talked to Wang Degui many times before, but in the end he had no choice but to pay rent every year.
As a result, there was a lot of unhappiness between the two parties. Now Wang Degui's words seem to many people to be mocking.
"I don't mean anything else. To be honest, we should think about it carefully."
"Thinking about what? Thinking about getting more?"
Jiang Hao muttered, Wang Degui ignored the ridicule and said with a smile.
"Hand over the planting land."
Wang Degui's words made everyone present look solemn. Angus and his wife were indifferent. Some of the crops produced in the Angus family's planting fields were supplied to the Angus family, and the other part was supplied to the business department.
Especially subject 5.
The Angus couple did not sell the crops grown in their fields to the high-end market. Although they did make a lot of money, the same goods were sold to Xingke at normal market prices.
Some of the food in the canteen of the General Affairs Section is also supplied by the Angus family, and the largest supply is from the 5th Section Headquarters. After all, Niya is there, so the couple can only use this method to care for their second daughter subtly.
Charles did not speak. He knew very well that after seeing this scene, most people did not have the confidence to establish an agricultural base in the barrier area. They wanted to establish an agricultural base when the sun could not shine on this land.
It was too difficult to come.
Although there is a temperate zone around the underground periphery of the experimental planting site, and there are some small heating rods in the ground, this is not the way to go. Temperature is the biggest problem with this proposal.
"Let's take a look first and then talk."
Chen Qiao muttered, and everyone was a little hungry. At this time, the door of the room was knocked open, and Niya came over carrying a large bucket, some tableware, and a few bottles of wine.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Eat quickly."
Opening the pot, there was vegetable stew inside, which smelled very fragrant. Chen Qiao frowned slightly and looked at the dust on the lid.
"It's so unhygienic."
Jiang Hao muttered, and Niya looked at him.
"If you don't eat, you'll be hungry. I took time to accompany you gentlemen today."
"Eat it, it tastes good."
Charles got up first as he spoke, and everyone hurriedly picked up the stew. It tasted really good. Niya closed the door, made a big bowl for herself, and then opened a bottle of wine.
"Do you want to drink?"
Everyone nodded, and everyone was silent during the meal. Everyone's appetite was particularly good today. If you are in the city at this time on weekdays, you will still feel full and not too hungry. It will not start until at least after 12 o'clock.
Hungry.
“It’s great to have something to eat at a place like this, and you’re very picky.”
Niya obviously said this to Chen Qiao, and Chen Qiao smiled awkwardly, because when Niya came in with food, she saw Chen Qiao's disgusted face.
"After we have eaten, we will go outside for some activities later. When it is almost done, we will eat and chat in the evening. We will take a clear look at the situation and then think about what is most important now."
Wang Degui said with a smile.
"Niya, you have been taking too many actions recently. When will real estate transactions be allowed?"
Niya glared at Wang Degui.
"Don't be nice and behave yourself when you get an advantage."
Wang Degui smiled awkwardly. After the meal, everyone felt warmer. With some wine, Honghong sighed and stood up.
"Let's continue to go out and walk around. Now the wind and sand outside are much lighter."
2pm
Things about the barrier zone have completely exploded in the city. Many people can't believe that there are so many people working and living in such an environment. Some interviews and videos on the scene have caused heated discussions among many people.
“Can anything really be grown in a place like that?”
In a restaurant, several men who had just finished their work were discussing. They were all from the middle level and were white-collar workers in the company. Because the company's business has now fully shifted to the bottom level, they have been working at the bottom level recently.
"Who knows, but it seems incredible, especially that those people survived."
Many people were shocked when they saw the real news reports. Under such low temperatures and such rampant wind and sand in the barrier area, those people were still alive and could still work in such an environment.
"Hey, I used to think those people in the barrier area were criminals, but it doesn't seem like they are all."
"Of course, there are so many criminals who are willing to go out and live a hard life. Probably many of them were expelled or left the city voluntarily."
A set of real data has been published for a long time. Because of the existence of the urban citizen hierarchy, taxes must be paid. Many people were eventually evicted because they could no longer afford the taxes. In the end, they exhausted their last bit of energy and left helplessly.
City.
Now more people are discussing whether the current people in the barrier zone can return to the city. Many people think it is not possible because it is impossible for the food in the city to supply people in the barrier zone anymore, so it must
Only if there is a plan to establish an agricultural base.
It's just that this plan seems to be very difficult for most people. Section 12 has also published a lot of experimental data and some problems encountered. No matter how you look at it, these things are disappointing.
"It's just that I heard someone say that it seems that the business department is secretly letting people from the barrier area enter the agricultural base to work."
A man said, and several others looked at each other and around.
"Stop saying such things. If you spread rumors, you will be arrested."
Several people also knew it well. Indeed, they had heard a little bit about it. People in the barrier area had gone from the eastern guard station to work in the eastern agricultural base. After all, everyone now knew that there was a shortage of manpower at the bottom.
