Chapter 432: I Want an Island
Mayor Mu immediately said, "Mr. Shen, you can rest assured of this. As long as you start the geothermal power station project on our side in advance, I can call the shots and allocate a piece of land for you, free of charge. β
This proposition does sound very tempting, and Shanghai is a place that is notoriously expensive for land.
The land to be used to build a factory is definitely not small. Although the place where the factory is built does not have to be in the urban area, in Shanghai, no matter how remote it is, the price will not be low.
This is a piece of cake worth billions or tens of billions.
But is the Shanghai city government at a loss? Of course not.
With the ability of Phantom Immortal Technology, the profits and taxes that this factory can create every year may not be less than this number, and the money will be returned in a year or two at most.
It will also create jobs and improve the level of scientific and technological innovation in Shanghai.
Of course, the most important thing is to get the geothermal power plant up and running ahead of schedule.
These are all political achievements!
Shen Bing said with a smile: "This feeling is good!"
Mayor Mu was stunned for a moment, and then agreed?
Didn't Shen Bing know that as soon as he mentioned that he was going to build factories in the coastal areas, countless local officials from coastal cities would immediately come to him? The provision of land for free was only a basic condition, and it was not impossible to give preferential tax treatment for one or two years.
But now Shen Bing actually said that his proposal was very good, which seemed unreasonable.
"But ......," Shen Bing hesitated.
Mayor Mu's heart suddenly hung in the air, this is just the point behind the two words.
"But what? Mr. Shen said that as long as we in the Shanghai Municipal Government can do it, we will do our best. β
"Because I'm going to do some other research, it's better for this land to be an island, the kind of uninhabited desert island. β
"Uh......" Everyone present was a little confused.
If you want to start construction and build a factory, shouldn't you look for a place where the supporting facilities are very well built? What does it mean to find an uninhabited desert island?
How to solve the problem of food and shelter for the workers? Medical treatment and the education of the workers' children are all problems, and the transportation is not convenient.
"Mr. Shen, your factory is built on an uninhabited desert island, I'm afraid it ...... I'm afraid it's inconvenient, isn't it?" said the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Shen Bing smiled and said, "Although there are some inconveniences in other aspects, the benefits are also very obvious. First of all, I can build a small port on the island by myself, and the loading and unloading of goods can be carried out outside the factory, without the need for long-distance transportation. Secondly, as I said just now, I plan to conduct some research on seawater desalination and the utilization of deep-sea resources, and there are many advantages to choosing an island. Finally, the island's environment is relatively independent, and it also has advantages in terms of technical secrecy. β
Mayor Mu looked at the director of the Land Bureau and said, "Director Qin, what is your opinion?"
"Mayor, Mr. Shen, there are indeed some uninhabited desert islands in the sea area to which our Shanghai belongs, but the area is not large, I am afraid it will not be able to meet your requirements, Mr. Shen. β
Shen Bing smiled and said: "This is simple, now that the technology of land reclamation is so developed, as long as the island you give is a little farther away from the coastline, I can fill out a relatively large island by myself." β
Mayor Mu and the others looked confused, is this okay?
Even though the technology is relatively mature now, the amount of work involved in this project determines that it will cost a lot of money. Even if the difficulties you mentioned earlier are real, they can't be more difficult than land reclamation.
And in Mayor Mu's view, it is perfectly fine to hand over a separate island to a certain company for tourism development. But it is always strange to engage in production and scientific research for a high-tech enterprise.
To be honest, Mayor Mu was a little apprehensive in his heart, he really didn't dare to make this decision in his heart, in case Shen Bing used this island to do something out of the ordinary, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the blame.
After hesitating for a while, Mayor Mu said, "Mr. Shen, your request is not difficult, but we still need to hold a meeting in the city to discuss it." Well, let's wait for an answer the day after tomorrow, do you see if it's feasible?"
"Absolutely, no problem at all. Shen Bing smiled and said, "But you have to consider the matter of land reclamation at the same time, otherwise it won't be of much use for me to hold a small island the size of a palm, right?"
"Of course. Mayor Mu replied very dryly.
After that, the two sides did not continue to be entangled on this issue, and chatted while eating, covering the scientific and technological and economic situation in the world today.
After he was full of wine and food, Shen Bing said goodbye to the leaders and asked Lu Xian to drive him back to the hotel.
Shen Bing, who originally looked drunk and hazy, came to his senses immediately after getting into the car, he was acting just now, after all, he drank all the nine officials who were okay by himself, which would make people feel embarrassed.
"Boss, there's no need for us to seek such an island. Lu Xian said while driving, "If you really want such a piece of territory, boss, and directly let Thorne and Wei Yu take action and take a small country in the Pacific Ocean, wouldn't it be easy?"
Shen Bing manipulated the character of the Gate of the Immortal World to find the demon soul, and said calmly: "That's not the reason, I don't plan to be the emperor or president of a country, and it will be a lot of trouble to take down an island country." What I need is money that is legitimate and has value to use, so I have a huge weakness, which is the market. The reason why I dare to scold the United States, and even the whole world, is because we have a huge domestic market. But if we get a small country out, it's hard to say whether the country will want to treat us like this now. If there is no domestic market, then how can we develop?"
Lu Xian didn't say much.
Soon back at the hotel, Shen Bing finally found another demon soul, and immediately rushed up to give him a fat beating.
After he was tired and half dead, the demon soul finally dissipated, and Shen Bing once again obtained a demon soul heartβthis was already the 19th demon soul heart.
At this moment, there was a sound outside, Shen Bing's heart moved, and he sensed that Xian Yuan No. 2 was approaching, it seemed that Bernie and the others were back, and Shen Bing pushed open the door and walked out.
"Meow!" A cat meowed, and Xiao Doudou suddenly jumped up and landed on Shen Bing's shoulder.
"Little guy, you didn't get into trouble this time, did you?" asked Shen Bing with a smile.
Before Doudou could say anything, Bernie and the others smiled bitterly, looking at Doudou's expression with a little jealousy.
Shen Bing saw this situation and looked at Xiao Doudou suspiciously.
Xiao Doudou said very aggrievedly: "Master, this is really not to blame Xiao Doudou, that guy can't stand playing, I used a plague god possession skill, he went out and encountered a car accident and hung up." β
Shen Bing listened to these brainless words, but his heart trembled, and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"It's the one that the group of people handed over to the police last time confessed to the joint. Xiao Doudou was a little weak-hearted and his eyes were misty.
Shen Bing was stunned for a moment, glared and said, "You mean to say that this clue was broken by you?"
"No, no! Xiao Doudou used the plague god possession skill for him after taking out all the things this guy knew. β
This is what Xiao Doudou said in Shen Bing's mind.
Bernie next to him also knew that Shen Bing was communicating with Xiao Doudou, and at this time he also helped Xiao Doudou say: "Boss, we have already got the clues, that connector belongs to an international underground organization, although the scale cannot be compared with the hand of Satan, but the work is more secretive." β
"Do you mean that this person, including the organization behind him, is also just a second-hand dealer? The real mastermind behind the scenes, or I don't know who it is?" Shen Bing frowned.
Wei Yu said: "It's true, but it's not impossible to continue the investigation." I have been in contact with this organization before, and any of their transaction information does not exist on the Internet, only backup data is available at the headquarters. As long as we take down this organization, we will naturally understand who is behind it. β
When he spoke, the look of excitement on his face was irrepressible.
Shen Bing didn't hesitate and said, "This matter will be handed over to you, I just need to know the result." β
"Understood!"
"Don't leave the handle behind. β
......
Early the next morning, Shen Bing took a flight back to Rongcheng, and there was a little episode in the middle, the flight attendant who served in the first class recognized Shen Bing, and her beautiful eyes were cautious, and she was enthusiastic about Shen Bing.
At this time, if Shen Bing behaved a little more actively, this little girl who was only twenty years old would definitely throw herself into her arms and let him experience the feeling of a thousand miles a day.
It's a pity that Shen Bing stared at the phone screen from beginning to end, and didn't give this beautiful flight attendant any chance, which made the other party a little annoyed.
However, for Shen Bing, it is undoubtedly much more important to seize the last opportunity to get another demon soul.
When he got off the plane, Shen Bing looked at the twenty demon soul hearts in his backpack, and he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of satisfaction in his heart.
These things are enough to exchange for some puppet craftsmen, right? When the time comes, teleporting a few will be of great help to your career.
According to Shen Bing's plan, once the island factory on the sea is completed, it will inevitably need puppet craftsmen to take charge, and now the only Lu Xian and Mo Ban he has are a little overstretched.
On the way back home from the airport, Shen Bing manipulated the character to teleport to the Craftsman Island.
He is also a frequent visitor to the Craftsman God Island, and the puppets and puppets here will not stop him, allowing him to wander around the island.
When Shen Bing found Lu Ban, this guy was bored and commanding a few puppet craftsmen and a group of puppet craftsmen to make parts one by one.
It's just that these parts do look a little craving, arms, thighs, heads, ......
There are a few other combinations next to them, and they are no different from people in appearance, except that those eyes are completely devoid, as if they have no soul.
"Ban Lose Immortal Friend, these are the puppet craftsmen you made?"
Lu Ban looked up at his side, smiled bitterly, and said, "These are just the skins of the puppet craftsmen, without the soul of the demon spirit, they are just a pile of useless stones." β
