He was anxious, he was anxious, the city was anxious.
When the negotiations were completed, Lu Ping'an was a little confused. The war hadn't even started yet. How could it have reached the final stage in the first place?
I'm afraid you have violated so many laws and plans. Do you know that you are playing Changping Prefecture like this?
But soon, Lu Ping'an knew why.
"Iron ore has increased by 300%. What the hell is this?"
The fall of Australia, Australia, is just the beginning of a chain reaction.
Australia, whose local industry is almost dead, has the world's first-class mineral resources. In fact, it has long been the resource bank of certain countries. Their collapse will naturally cause the collapse of the entire international market for raw materials.
It's not just that their minerals can't be produced, but the insecurity of the entire ocean has caused the world's already sluggish shipping to collapse.
Once there is a shortage of certain strategic materials, the price increase is never based on demand, but based on psychological expectations.
When all countries and major forces begin to prepare for war, the international supply of strategic materials will skyrocket. Especially everyone knows that the military trade unions will create a demand for steel materials. Even without the intervention of international speculators, the actions of various countries to compete for strategic resources will inevitably
It will bring about a surge in raw materials.
"Does the state not care?"
"No matter, there are internal supply channels with low prices, but it must be a share system, and it is definitely not enough."
Limited strategic resources will definitely be used wisely. This is also the reason why Dongguo began to forcibly eliminate backward production capacity. The coordinating department cannot watch the ore being wasted so directly.
"You want to make your own entrance?"
"There is no way. There are some things that you can't count on others."
Lu Ping'an instantly understood that since the resources of the earth cannot be counted on, then let's count on those from foreign lands.
Opening up foreign special zones and attracting more investment to outsiders through multi-party relationships will naturally bring in foreign resources.
"There won't be any opinions from above?"
"You think we are the only ones doing this?
Okay, too realistic, there is nothing to say about making way for safety.
But this also shows that Gucheng really regards Lu Ping'an as one of his own. He should talk to Lu Ping'an directly about such overly sensitive things.
In the war in the novel, the top and bottom are integrated, all obeying the dispatch and command. Even if the road goes to the dark side, it has no own interests and plans at all.
In the actual war, each department must consider the ancient city for itself. It is clear that it will surpass Changping and become the state capital in a substantial sense.
If you really play with quotas, they will naturally be based on each administrative level. Even if Changping has no intention of blocking other city resources, he will instinctively take more shares.
Some cities, including the ancient city, basically have outward channels, so they have adopted various methods to make a living. Since it can be said semi-publicly, the higher-ups also tacitly approve.
After all, some things are not easy to explain in detail. If the price of iron ore rises like this, other big-ticket commodities will definitely fluctuate in the future. For other things, it is easy to say that once food prices skyrocket, it will be really scary.
Considering the country's population and cultivated land area, even if there are a large number of "professional gardeners" to guide farming, whether it can achieve complete self-sufficiency is still a question mark.
Once other countries are threatened, they will definitely give priority to their own materials and outputs. It is unrealistic to expect imports.
In the cruel real environment, when the homeland was threatened, Wan Jing's Nirvana plan also began to accelerate. Survive first, and then consider other things.
Especially when Dongguo's own resources are obviously insufficient, it is impossible to prevent other cities from looking for new resource points. On the contrary, they actually saw this happening.
But introducing external forces casually will lead to endless troubles. Of course, the other party may not come.
??????55.??????
As officials said, many cities may be "attracting investment," and to stand out, they naturally need additional attraction points.
After all, the core selling point of investment promotion in another world is not only high-quality water and electricity infrastructure, but also tax and policy support that are slightly higher than other cities. Many regions have even used tax exemptions for several years as a big (money-losing) killer.
.
But if it develops and becomes an industry with economies of scale, the tax revenue lost before will be nothing.
The way the ancient city deals with it is to use the "courtyard" as a bait on the one hand, and high-level combat power as a deterrent on the other. In a sense, this also represents the alliance between Lu Ping'an and the ancient city. If someone really encounters an inhumane, Lu will be completely
You can take advantage of this opportunity and use external forces to turn this city into your own "territory".
This is a trust and a reward. God knows how much the "new god" Lu Ping'an can get from it.
Perhaps this is not clear. When the world of Silent Mountain is coming to an end, many ethnic groups and countries have deified their strong men as gods, making the ethnic groups become vassals of the gods. If the situation on the earth continues to deteriorate, maybe
This scene will happen again on earth.
"Don't think so far ahead yet."
Lu Ping'an regretted returning to the ancient city. This burden was too heavy. But if he didn't come back, I'm afraid the ancient city would send someone to talk to him.
He has become de facto the tallest person in the city and the most trusted top fighter.
“Let’s put in place the framework of the special zone first.”
Lu Pingan did not hesitate much, because he who prayed for justice and peace really understood that the world was still dominated by the strong, and outsiders would not reason with you.
If you want your hometown to be safe and your ethnic group to be safe, you must make it stronger.
"In terms of minerals, it's actually not difficult to solve. I think there are some dry stocks on the Green Planet that can only split money. They should have a lot of minerals shipped."
"By the way, there are also foreign races. I seem to have the contact information of those interstellar mercenaries. How about I get some local industry?"
“Biotechnology is not difficult either”
Lu Ping'an thought about it and determined that he seemed to be able to do a lot. Even if he couldn't protect Hongyuan as a family like in the Nirvana Plan, protecting an ancient city by one person didn't seem to be that difficult.
Pull up resource channels and pull up Mercury 42 and local resource supply.
The next moment, Lu Pingan sighed. He knew that some things might be more difficult.
In Lu Ping'an's eyes, many of the current insurmountable difficulties can actually be solved as long as there is a god. And if Guan Xinxian becomes a god in his hometown, it may still be difficult to gain recognition from the ancient city and even the surrounding areas, but it should be gone now.
.
However, that means that in the subsequent negotiations with the Saint in the Forest, I will be more demanding and passive.
"I really hope that he will be easier to deal with, at least not too harsh. Well, it's unlikely. After all, she is Chris's 'sister'."
"That's too much. I'm actually very easy to talk to."
While Lu Pingan was confused, a green-haired figure appeared behind Lu Pingan.
Lu Pingan turned around suddenly, and what he saw was a smiling girl. She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her smile was very innocent.
She was sitting at a roadside noodle stall, happily drinking noodle soup.
"Hello, have a safe journey."
After putting down the bowl and saying hello to Lu Pingan with a smile, she blinked her eyes and waved happily behind Lu Pingan again. This time, it was for her old friend.
"Hey, sister, how are you?"
"Beach!" What she heard in response was someone's gnashing of teeth.
