Chapter 202: Tongue War
Don't think you can rest easy when the federal government outsources the management of all cities to the seven major groups. In fact, as the supreme ruling body of mankind, the Federation is also very, very busy.
In the case of the Federal Government's Eden Parliament Hall, for example, there are 170 meeting rooms of all sizes, 300 meetings per day, 2,000 officials attending, and 12,000 dignitaries and citizens who come to observe, which is comparable to the flow of train stations in many medium-sized and popular cities.
In order to show the meticulousness of the federal government's work, even the simplest decision to raise or fall the outsourcing lease price of the sanitation department in a border city by 2%, this group of officials and gentlemen can hold a 15-day meeting and finally come up with a "reconsiderate" result.
In fact, to a certain extent, even if Chairman Gu Xuan doesn't say hello, with the efficiency of the federal government, he can hold a meeting to discuss at least half a year, and he will be stuck in the city.
Zhang Lan prepared a box full of materials and document memory disks, and wanted to passively read them to this group of officials, at least 2 months.
Perhaps His Excellency the President is also very contradictory, on the one hand, from Gu Xuan's side, he has no way to start with the delayed order, and on the other hand, from the request of Mark, the new chairman of the Sun Never Sets Empire, he has to pay attention to it.
That's why there is no luxurious hotel reception, but there is a special car to escort the council chamber; There was no chief conference room, but it was able to gather nearly 10 leaders from various departments, including the Federal Minister of Finance, the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Defense Forces, and the director of the Federal Institute for New Materials.
Zhang Lan and Ilian attended together, sat in the applicant's position, and spoke by name, standing on the most central podium, in front of the first row of officials and gentlemen, the chief position was the Minister of Finance who presided over the meeting-Nadu.
This is a veteran politician who has been in politics for 40 years, and it was not until the last term that he followed the current president and successfully obtained this position.
Unlike other officials who rely on flattery and casually take an official position as a prestige, Nadu is a professional economist with high attainments in economic and academic circles, and has the title of "God of Computing".
Once, Nadu was also Zhang Lan's idol, and the 140 kinds of operation formulas he invented were of vital help to Zhang Lan's computing ability.
But now looking at it so closely, Zhang Lan can't help but sigh, the years are urging people to grow old. This old man, who is over 70 years old, wears gold wire reading glasses, his back is stiff and he can't even straighten his suit, and his hands are shaking when he flips through the crystal information board.
Yuna, as a bystander, sat in the back row with the reporters, and she couldn't escape even if she wanted to, because Zhang Lan forced Lan Ling into her and hid it in the hood behind her.
All the major media organizations under the control of the seven major groups were present, and some even the assistant teams of the seven chairmen came to observe.
The inquiry meeting for the Escape City is divided into two parts, and it is enough for the review of the Black Odin materials to be completed entirely within the federal government, but when it comes to considering the issue of the issuance of special economic zones, then the vice chairman of the seven major groups and the big guys above the back will have to attend and participate in the inquiry.
"Silence, silence, the meeting is about to begin." After sorting out several materials, Nadu picked up a small hammer and knocked it three times, and the noisy audience at the scene was silent, and the live broadcast camera flying in mid-air filmed the audience, and broadcast this unique inquiry meeting live.
"First of all, I would like to invite the representative spokesperson of Xiaoyao City to the question stand." After the summons of Nadu, Zhang Lan stood up, looked at Ilian and smiled, and stood on the stage in full view of everyone.
"Name." Nadu's formulaic interrogation opening remarks.
"Zhang Lan, 20 years old, is the head of the diplomatic office of Xiaoyao City, and is also an administrative, financial, urban defense, and trade consultant." Zhang Lan said a lot in one breath.
"You seem to be in a hurry?" Nadu didn't care at all, and pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Zhang Lan.
"Yes, because life is limited and I don't want to waste it." Zhang Lan smiled bitterly.
"But you must know that the federal government's inquiry meeting is a very important matter, and our decision is likely to affect the direction of mankind, which is a process that cannot be rushed, because there are not many opportunities and space for us to make mistakes in human society now." Nadu was bitterly advised.
"Okay, move on to the next question." Zhang Lan didn't bother to defend himself.
"Today, what we are discussing here is the global impact of the new material Black Odin Metal developed by Escape City, as the closest raw material to Odin Metal, the basic Black Odin Metal can already be recognized as a quasi-strategic material, and its trading and production fluctuations will have a change in the global military power scale, so what we need to determine is, what is the plan of Escape City for the production of Black Odin Metal? How much is in stock? Nadu said slowly.
"Black Odin metal is actually a biological resource, derived from the re-refining of the corpse of a certain exotic beast after death, according to the population size of this species, it can produce 215 tons, if it is deeply processed into pure Odin metal, the output is 105 tons, which is equivalent to the total output of Odin metal of the 7 major groups in a year is 30 tons more." Zhang Lan not only gave simple numbers, but even made analogies to help these dignitaries and dignitaries analyze more comprehensively.
"Clear enough." Nadu's eyes lit up, "Have you calculated how much value you can produce?" ”
"The selling price of black Odin metal raw materials is about one-third of the current price of Odin metal, and the output amount is 179,089,657,653.3 yuan based on the material and the current market price. Taking into account the problem of market price fluctuations, as well as production fluctuations, the final actual sales amount can exceed 200 billion. Zhang Lan's understatement of a string of data directly made everyone present gasp.
"200 billion federal coins? Do you know what it represents? "Nadu is the only one who is calm.
"You know, from the analysis of last year's financial statements, the best GDP output value of all cities in the world is the Asian capital Imperial City, which is managed by Bawang Group, with an amount of 205.6 billion federal dollars. Counting the output of other industries, Easy City will become the most profitable city in the world in the coming year. Zhang Lan smiled lightly, as if her whole body was emitting golden light.
"So much money? Is a border city running out? "Nadu is actually asking casually.
"If we use the consumption mode of Xiaoyao City in the past, it will naturally not be exhausted, but we have formulated a new administrative plan for the purpose of ensuring people's livelihood and establishing an equal experimental society, and there are many places that need to spend money, so much money, I am afraid it is just enough."
Zhang Lan means that he will invest 200 billion yuan in a city to change people's livelihood in the middle of the year, and this sentence alone can already make many technical talents rush to buy tickets to Xiaoyao City.
"Great ideals, huge funds, great decisions, I can only describe everything you have to say, but in the end, I will give you one more point." Nado sighed, "That's the reality of arrogance. ”
