Chapter 266: The Prosperity Side
The party with the Stone family was more like a happy party, with children playing and sharing joy, and adults having beer and snacks and talking about the future; Genetically fortified pets are also happy, tigers and lions become good friends, and cats and dogs stop the world wars.
The main contents of the second five-year phase were also discussed, first of all, the expected various explosions, the technological explosion of Future City, and the entertainment explosion of Liberty City; secondly, for the construction of megacities, the improvement of economy, finance, education and entertainment; Finally, there is funding.
In the last five years, they and their accomplices invested hundreds of billions of dollars to create the African miracle, and Meng Qian still had a surplus of 2 billion US dollars, thanks to agriculture and manufacturing. Stone also has a lot of surplus, they are building a tourist city, and in the past year, the number of tourists has continued to increase.
In the next five years, they will be easier after the development of the city, but they will continue to invest more, so that industries in various fields will explode, and at the same time build the military industry - the ability to build miracles, and the ability to protect miracles. This is very consistent between the two sides, and the strength is also multifaceted.
The overall cooperation plan of the sister cities is in place, and the individual development needs to be considered.
The day after tomorrow, Meng Qian held a meeting at the parliament building, which was attended by all the members and officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, as well as the members of the Construction Committee.
Although according to the law of Malagasy, the top chief executive of the SAR needs to be elected, both Meng Qian and Tiger are very unkind to continue to serve in the post - at this stage, they are unlikely to abdicate, otherwise how can we talk about development?
Politicians gathered in the chamber, and Meng Qian, who sat at the top, listened to their reports, starting with Mayor James Lear's speech. State the results, progress and main directions of the past five years.
Because the area of the special zone is too large, there will be many secondary cities. Mayor James Lille is an English immigrant and a member of the Brotherhood. Because of the pursuit of ideals, he joined the construction of this miracle, and is currently responsible for the construction of the center area of the future city.
Similar to Isabella's report, he pointed out what needs to be done so far, what needs to be improved, and optimistic trends for the future.
Meng Qian also spoke: "At present, the focus of the Special Economic Zone is on this economic and technological center area, and Mr. Lille's views are worth studying. β
Again, Meng Qian can't manage everything, and having a group of outstanding assistants will make him a lot easier. James Lille is of that type.
Others followed, such as Rep. Remy Manoro. He was a native of Malagasy and had a university education and was elected to parliament with outstanding grades.
He also addresses areas that are also related to people's livelihoods: "Cities are facing pressure from population growth, and they need to build more policy housing, more higher education institutions and public activity centers. β
"In terms of education, the implementation of rapid basic education to improve the overall quality of citizens can also make up for the urgent shortage of more urban development jobs."
Manolo's words brought out a lot of the policies of the future city. The first is housing, and for citizens or permanent residents, the government will introduce welfare housing buildings. There are three-story townhouses, high-rise residences, etc., which are different from commercial housing, and the prices are very affordable for government-invested residences.
How affordable is it? If the total cost is 2,000 yuan per square meter. Its price is only about 3,000 yuan per square meter -- limited to SAR citizens. This is undoubtedly the welfare policy of the sister city, ensuring that every citizen can enjoy basic housing benefits.
Of course, if it's rich. Commercial housing can be chosen, and these are determined by the real estate developer. It has nothing to do with the government, and even foreigners can buy housing. When the city became famous. The influx of tourists will help promote the city's real estate development.
Manoro's housing opinion also received a nod from everyone.
If you want a city to thrive, you first have to be attractive and people want to live here.
After these housing and living infrastructure are built, Manoro's educational point of view is to raise the level of value, that is, rapid basic education.
This is a high-tech education method similar to brainwashing, which instills the knowledge of elementary and junior high school into the human brain and writes it into memory through brainwave transmission.
The technology is mainly aimed at local residents, and more than 80% of them have mastered the level of junior high school graduation in half a month of rapid education. The remaining 20%, with stronger talent, will focus on cultivation. Rep. Manoro, for example, spent only one year on his college education.
People who have passed rapid education have to go through the only way to become citizens of the Special Administrative Region: assessment. Those who pass will become "temporary residents" and will be injected with an identity chip β a microchip injected into the subcortex, which records personal information, account files, etc.
The chip can be scanned in a variety of ways, replacing people's identity ID, bank accounts, work documents, file records, etc., and the police can see at a glance everything that has bad behavior. If the violation is serious, the temporary resident status will be revoked and the legal responsibility will be investigated.
If they perform well, they will pass the assessment in two years and officially become citizens, and all kinds of benefits in the sister city, such as housing, social security, medical care, etc., will be fully opened. In the end, those who became citizens had a high school level of basic education, and the quality was good.
Of the 450,000 locals working in Future City, 220,000 have become citizens, most of them Malagasians, who have higher IQs than pure blacks, and are more disciplined.
Manoro, exercising his responsibilities as a member of the House of Representatives, naturally wants more people to enjoy this benefit.
Meng Qian agreed: "We will add more rapid education service points to provide more excellent talents for future urban development." β
The introduction of rapid education was a miracle for the locals, and for the chiefs, it was an important guarantee for the strengthening of the city. The content of the rapid education is first and foremost about the history of the city: the barren land, until the arrival of the chieftain and the huge investment of money, brought glory.
Rapid education is to let them know history and know how to be grateful.
Meng Qian and Tiger are a bit selfish hereβwho doesn't want to be favored and permanent?
"That's all I have to say, Your Excellency the Chief." Manoro said.
"I have some ideas, Your Excellency." Senator Yuan Yubo spoke out, yes, he also ran here from the United States -- a silent idealist.
After successfully propelling the VR company to glory and becoming the first supergiant with a market capitalization of more than $1 trillion, he resigned from the CEO position and chose his ideals.
Like the multiple identities of some Western parliamentarians, Yuan Yubo is not only a senator, but also a shareholder and board member of several companies, and represents more capitalists.
"The construction of high-tech parks requires more government funding, and according to the next five-year plan, there is not enough space for it to use," he said. β
"The government's preferential policies for high-tech fields can continue to be maintained to attract more foreign investment and improve the city's science and technology industry chain."
Yuan Yubo proposed the foundation of the future city, and Meng Qian also agreed: "There will be the construction of the second and third parks; The preferential policies you talked about will also be maintained. β
"That's all I have to say." Yuan Yubo nodded at him.
"I have an opinion." Someone raised their hand again.
There was a lot of talk at the meeting, for the city that rose overnight, it is not like other cities to take their time, it directly has a general framework, there must be a financial district here, there must be a science and technology district, there must be a dock here, and there must be a park there...... Synchronous construction of one brain.
Synchronization makes urban construction faster, but it also brings a lot of problems. Meng Qian, the chief designer who controls the funds, needs to consider and make many decisions, some of which cannot have the best of both worlds. If you want to develop a large-tonnage terminal, you can't guarantee the clarity of the surrounding water.
But overall, the city is growing according to plan.
The other city, Villefranche, is much easier than Future City, and it focuses on tourism and entertainment, and the Stone family is experienced enough in this area.
Meng Qian has been to the street many times, and on one of the most lively streets in the local area, the Emirates Palace Casino, super five-star hotels, nightclubs and detached casinos. Clothing club, every night, flashing neon lights, billboards dazzling...... It's like stepping back in time to Las Vegas.
Along the coast there are marinas full of yachts, luxury resorts facing the sea and beaches, and on the other side there are near-completed roller coaster tracks and Ferris wheels, and underwater-themed restaurants and hotels...... It feels like you've come to the complexes of Monaco and Dubai.
On the hill facing the sea in the city, there is a zipline entertainment facility that leads directly to the bottom of the mountain, and visitors will be able to ski all the way to the beach below. Higher-level hanggliders, and even skydives on airplanes, are already being prepared, and entertainment is diversified.
In terms of urban construction, Meng Qian gave full marks.
It has been a good fulfillment of Natalia's vision of Liberty City, and the only thing it lacks at the moment is tourists. Although it has already attracted many more visitors than his future city, it is not enough, and Tiger hopes to exceed 50 million visitors a year, which will surpass Las Vegas.
After all the projects are completed in the future, he hopes to break through the miracle of 100 million people!
Is it possible in Africa, a corner of the globe? The answer is yes, Dubai is possible, more miracles of them, why not?
Liberty City is also about to sacrifice an artifact: Jurassic Park. Invested 60% by Meng Qian and 40% established by the Stone family, the living fossil wonder, with a total area of 450 square kilometers, covers the theme of sightseeing, indoor tours and outdoor experiences, and the whole world will go crazy.
In addition, on the side of Liberty City's busiest boulevard, a project called "Hanging Garden" is also being built day and night, which uses superconductors to restore the Hallelujah Mountain suspended in the air in the movie "Avatar", which is also bound to be a tourist hotspot.
Meng Qian also has a lot of private investments in Liberty City, such as the Sky Garden project, in which he invested 40%; The only and largest European retro-style luxury casino in the region, in which he also holds a 40% stake; He has invested in other large and small tourism projects.
The development of Liberty City is also the richness of Meng Qian's wallet. (To be continued.) )
