In the next few days, Liu Heming was still working hard to complete his great cause of forging knives. Calling the system once a day has also become the norm, but the reply given to him by others is still being upgraded.

The craftsmanship has finally made a breakthrough, and today he plans to punch out both knives in one go, and then hand them over to John to help quench and temper. Because the two pots have been forged with John's help, what is missing is the processing of some local details.

If he can't handle these small problems well, then he can't expect to fight the iron in the future.

He was playing a kitchen knife on his side, and John was continuing to punch the iron pot. Because molds have a lifespan, it is a waste to put them away, so it is better to get them out at one time to save trouble in the future.

"George, what's wrong? Why is your expression so ugly?" As soon as Liu Heming looked up, he saw that George didn't know when he came here, and his face was very gloomy.

"Hey, what we were worried about has finally happened, and the state government has decided to put our Xiangshui Town up for auction. George sighed, lit a cigarette and took a hard puff.

"Auction, no, how is this possible, this is a small town?" asked Liu Heming with some surprise.

"Dexter, forgive me for not telling you the truth before, in fact, our town has been able to survive until now thanks to the state government's funding. George said with an ugly face.

"The weather has gotten worse and worse in the past two years, and the state government has finally decided to abandon our town. I plan to sell this place to real estate investors, and maybe in the future, Xiangshui Town may become a production base for a large company. ”

"But don't worry, your ranch state will not sell it together, they will only sell the land that is under the jurisdiction of the town, and because you also own a part of the town, you will get some money even if you sell it in the future. ”

"No, no, George, are you sure you're in good spirits today?" asked Liu Heming, shaking his head.

"Dexter, in fact, this situation is still very normal, if it weren't for the previous prosperity of Xiangshui Town, which brought a lot of taxes to the state government, I'm afraid Xiangshui Town would have been auctioned off a long time ago. John also took out a cigarette and took a puff.

"In fact, the situation of auction towns has happened a lot over the years, and it has happened in many states. The main reason is that there are fewer people living in small towns, some of them have moved to big cities to develop, and some of them have suffered from disasters, just like our side, which has been plagued by drought for many years. ”

"For the state government, such a small town is a burden. If it is left to a good developer, it may be able to resurrect the town and increase the tax revenue of the state government. ”

"But I always think it's not good, you think, what if the enterprises that settle here are polluted after they are used for industrial development?"

"Dexter, we don't want to do that, but we can't guarantee that Xiangshui will escape the drought. As for pollution, you can rest assured that Montana takes this aspect very seriously, and even if some companies do build factories here, they will meet the corresponding environmental standards. ”

Liu Heming was very depressed, because he was ambitious, so he thought that in the future, he would pocket all the land in Xiangshui Town and develop his own agriculture and animal husbandry.

He has a system, and although the test results of the finger sweet potato have not yet come out, he is very confident that this is a good sweet potato. If you wait to complete other tasks in the future and get more rewards, then it will be really easy to make money.

But now? George told himself that the town was going to be auctioned. If it weren't for the serious expressions on both of them, he would have really thought they were joking.

He could understand John's words, to put it bluntly, the current Xiangshui Town not only can't create any value for Montana, but occasionally has to add money here.

Even if it was replaced by himself, it is estimated that he will think about selling Xiangshui Town. It's a good idea for the whole state.

The way to make quick money is very simple, you can be a demolition household, in case there are some big companies that will give this land to you in the future, if your own ranch is also within their blueprint, then it will be fine.

If there is no system, he will be very happy, this is a shortcut to get rich overnight. But he has a system, and the lake that was smashed out when the system landed, and this problem is very difficult to deal with.

He didn't believe that the lake was so simple, and he had a hunch that this system upgrade would definitely bring earth-shaking changes, not only to the system itself, but also to his own pasture.

"George, is there any way to protect our town?" Liu Heming looked at George after thinking for a while and asked.

George shook his head, "It's hard, there was an offer like this a few years ago, but there were still nearly a hundred households in Xiangshui Town at that time, so we persevered. How many people are there in Xiangshui Town now, and even these people who are left now may not be able to save Xiangshui Town as much as we do. ”

"Is there really no way to do it?" asked Liu Heming helplessly.

"Actually, there are solutions, but they need to spend more money and risks. John said from the side.

"It's that we raise money and loans to buy the whole town. It's just that in this way, we can no longer get subsidies from the state government, and all the maintenance of the facilities needs to be solved at our own expense. ”

"For our Xiangshui Town, this is also a big expense. I'm afraid that even if we could scrape together the money to buy a small town, it would be difficult for us to have such a sum of money. It probably won't be long before we're all going bankrupt. ”

Liu Heming grinned bitterly, John's method is indeed quite simple, and it is also very direct, that is, to replace the main body of the purchase with someone from Xiangshui Town.

He also knew that with the financial resources of these people in Xiangshui Town now, it would be difficult to buy Xiangshui Town, so he should have set his sights on Sasha.

But even if it is Sasha's family, it is not so easy to buy the entire Xiangshui Town. The land area of Xiangshui Town is too large, even if you give people the price of cabbage, the transaction volume of this land is very safe to exceed 10 million US dollars.

Sasha's family is not a billionaire, even if they are really billionaires, what is the use of their family investing in this land? With more than 10 million, it is not good for people to do something.

It can be said that the current Xiangshui Town is really in a predicament.
