Chapter 65: Forming a Force
The resources are bought, but the problem of worrying is coming immediately. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
These resources cannot be left unattended, and someone must help take care of them in order to produce the best benefits.
Gangjing City in District 52 can not be managed, the city management system, can be operated autonomously, and then managed by the locals who buy the mayor's position, what Zhou Ming wants to do is to adjust the city tax rate within the allowable range, adjust the use price and rules and regulations of various subsystems such as the monitoring system, information inquiry system, land price system, legal system, assessment system, etc...... Only minor fine-tuning is required.
But not in District 51.
In District 51, a special person in charge must be dispatched to descend and directly manage it.
Because most of the miners in District 51 are illiterate, have a strong physique, and are prone to trouble, if they don't send people down, no matter how hard the management of the mining company is, within a few months, it will be a mess.
It is impossible for Zhou Ming to go down by himself, one is not allowed by the system, and the other is that he doesn't have so much energy.
You can only go to the job posting center in the game city and post a job posting to recruit a qualified manager.
After the recruitment information was released, because Zhou Ming's salary of 8,000 money/year belonged to the middle and upper level, there were many people who came to apply, and Zhou Ming interviewed forty or fifty people.
Picking and choosing, a person named "Ban Gongyu" fell into Zhou Ming's eyes.
This Mr. Ban, who is 128 years old this year, looks like he is only in his fifties, with sharp eyes, dragon walking, and always smiling on his face, giving people the feeling of an old fox.
Originally, Zhou Ming didn't want to recruit people like him, he felt that he was too slippery, difficult to control, not very honest, and might take advantage of some loopholes.
However, Zhou Ming took a fancy to his experience, and successively served six bosses, with a total of 90 years of experience in eight low-level districts.
It can be said that his experience, in Zhou Ming's eyes, is a huge wealth.
So after recruiting this Mr. Ban, Zhou Ming came to him and consulted a lot about different bottom areas.
"Mr. Ban, generally speaking, what type of bottom area is the most difficult to manage?
"It is not difficult to manage any bottom area, as long as it can ensure that more than 90% of the people can survive and will not starve to death. ”
"What if it's not guaranteed?"
"Then find a way to reduce some people. ”
"Reduction, how to reduce? Slaughter, plague, or mass murder competition?"
"There are many methods, these are just the simplest methods, and they will have a certain effect in the short term, but if you want to maintain that effect in the long run, you must adopt some more complex methods with long-term bloodletting effects, such as creating two factions and regularly creating some disputes, divisions, conflicts, or so on...... Let the two factions fight and vendetta, and the effect will be very good......"
The corners of Mr. Ben's mouth rose slightly, revealing his trademark demonic smile.
"Is there no better way than that?"
Mr. Ban shook his head and said, "No, resources are limited, this planet cannot carry too much garbage population, and no district can develop uncontrollably." ”
Zhou Ming didn't ask any more, he had heard similar theories many times, and in the brainwashing radio of Area 51, what impressed him the most was always the opening sentence: "This world was once ruined by greed......
It is precisely because of the infinite destructive power of greed that it is necessary to stop the infinite expansion of greed through this model of the money empire......
But is this really the best way to go?
Is greed only bad and not a little good?
Zhou Ming disagreed, but now he is still within this set of rules, if he wants to deny this model, at least beyond the rules, stand in the position of the top designer, and design a better world.
A week later.
Mr. Ban was sent to his own District 51 and officially took over the district.
In addition, for Mr. Ban's personal safety, he also hired a team of security guards and security robots (including 5 humans and 100 robots) from the security company of the game city for 5,000 yuan per year...... Combined with Mr. Ban's salary, the annual management cost reached 13,000 yuan.
The total value of ore mined in Area 51 is only about 100,000 yuan per year.
After deducting various costs, Zhou Ming found that in the next 30 years, unless the ore output of District 51 will grow explosively, he will not only not make money, but will have to pay hundreds of thousands.
In the past decade, economic growth has been extremely slow, public order has not improved in the slightest, and private weapons workshops have begun to revive again.
He thought about it, anyway, Gangjing City can't make much money in a year, so he simply came to "lightly pay for the meager endowment and rest with the people", first of all, the city tax rate, from the original highest 28%, to the lowest 11%, and then these taxes collected are all invested in the construction of various public facilities in the city, reduce the cost of monitoring and control system, strengthen public security, and vigorously develop other industries except the steelmaking industry......
In short, he just wants to conduct a series of experiments within the scope of the rules to see if he can achieve some of the effects he wants.
The same is true for District 51.
……
Paradise Island, east of Game City, Region 11.
In a dense primeval forest, a tall castle stood in front of Zhou Ming's eyes.
The plane slowly landed on a verdant lawn, got off the plane, and Zhou Ming, who brought two bodyguards, visited the owner of the castle.
The castle is called "Dragon Blue Castle".
The owner of the castle was named "Ryu Katsumitsu", known as Count Katsumitsu (there were no lordships such as earls and barons in the upper districts, such titles were honorific titles for wealthy people), and it was said that he was a very wealthy man and the owner of the 11th district.
Zhou Ming's purpose in visiting Count Shengguang was to buy a piece of land from him.
A piece is used to build a small castle, live and live for a long time, avoid external interference, and here, form your own private force.
He has seven or eight houses in the game city, but each house does not live for more than half a year, or several houses are rotated, the purpose is to avoid being bothered by others and finding him trouble.
Zhou Ming hid it very deeply, even so, after winning the 2 million money of Luo Gaibi, the other party quickly found himself, no matter where he lived, a day or two later, there would be people who claimed to be Luo Gaibi's servants, and invited him to the castle as a guest, Zhou Ming made excuses to shirk a few times, the other party was annoyed and angry, and directly called two ruffians who did dirty work over, and the threat was not successful, so he wanted to take him away directly.
After three or five moves, the two ruffians were knocked to the ground by Zhou Ming, and two injections of slave medicine went down, and these two ruffians with quite strong physiques became his personal bodyguards.
Naturally, Zhou Ming, who found that the game city was not a place to stay for a long time, wanted to buy a piece of land outside the city, on the one hand, to avoid harassment, on the other hand, as he had more and more resources in his hands, it was urgent to create a private force that belonged to him.
Inside the Dragon Blue Castle.
In an elegant living room, Zhou Ming was waiting for tea here.
Looking at the walls, there are a lot of beautiful and colorful oil paintings hanging on the walls around the living room, these oil paintings, with Zhou Ming's connoisseurship, the artistic level is quite high, whether it is the matching of colors, the demeanor of the characters, the light and shadow of the scenery...... It is completely comparable to the works of first-class oil painting masters.
"Count Katsumitsu was not only a rich man, but also an artist in the field of painting. Zhou Ming muttered in his heart.
After waiting for about half an hour, an old man in a homeroom robe, a handsome and gentle face, and a calm gaze, who looked like he was in his sixties, walked into the living room with healthy steps.
Count Katsumitsu!
"Hello, Mr. Count Katsumitsu. Zhou Ming stood up and greeted him.
"No need to be polite, sit down...... I heard that you want to buy a piece of land from me, what is it for?" After sitting down, Count Katsumitsu asked straight to the point.
"Build a castle to live in, live in peace, retire, and enjoy the fun of ordinary life......"
"Very desirable ideals...... Butler, bring the map and let him pick and choose. ”
The old housekeeper next to him agreed, took out an electronic map board from his clothes, put it on the table and unfolded it, and let Zhou Ming choose it by himself.
On the electronic map board, the 11th area, which covers an area of about 10,000 square kilometers, accounts for about 20% of the area except for the Dragon Blue Castle in the center, and the surrounding land is evenly divided into 80 square squares, each with an area of 100 square kilometers, red represents sold, and blue represents unsold.
Zhou Ming saw that on the map board, 23 pieces were shown in red, occupying those places that were closer to Longlan Castle, with the best terrain and the best scenery, and the remaining 57 pieces of land were slightly worse.
"I choose Lot 66, how much does this land cost?"
Lot 66 is bordered by the east coast and has sea breezes, sea views, beaches, and ...... If you want to build a castle here, it's a really good choice.
Long Shengguang glanced at him in surprise, this kid's vision is not bad, and this kid also likes the place that his daughter has taken a fancy to.
He thought for a while and said, "Yes, 1 million money, a lease period of 100 years, if you are sure, you can sign the agreement immediately." ”
One million is so expensive, and this kind of small area of land seems to be only two or three hundred thousand dollars, one million ......
But that white sand, that blue sea...... For him, it does have an irresistible attraction, plus it can be rented for a hundred years, after thinking about it, Zhou Ming nodded and said, "Okay, I bought this land!"
……
After signing the contract and buying the land, Zhou Ming immediately contacted a construction team, drew a design drawing, and asked the construction team to construct according to the design on the drawings, and then returned to the game city, bought more than a dozen home service robots, as well as dozens of security robots, and also paid 250,000 yuan to buy a private jet, pure electric drive, with a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers, and a salary of 400 money/month, recruited an aircraft pilot.
After the completion of the castle in three months, the building covers an area of five acres, ten floors and fifty meters high (the spire is still twenty meters), the exterior is painted white, and there are 300 rooms inside......
