Chapter 438: New Luoyang! [Up]

New Luoyang, originally an administrative star in the central star field of the Federation, with a permanent population of 30 million, as one of the first planets colonized by the Muller Federation, after the consumption of resources, it does not have too many characteristics, and it has not been accurately positioned, and the economy has been transformed, so the financial situation is not very good, otherwise it would not have been given to Li Tomb as a noble territory.

Originally, according to the previous distribution, it seemed that Tian Guang's Muller Star was destroyed, and it was actually more appropriate for the territory that originally belonged to Kazakhstan to be used as the territory of Li Tomb.

It's a pity that in the end, what Li Tomb got in his hands was only this ordinary administrative star that he named New Luoyang, not to mention that the economy here is really not optimistic from the population.

At this moment, Li Tomb, led by Governor Yang Chen, the top local administrator, visited the factory of Tianma Metal Group, the only listed company in New Luoyang.

Tianma Metal Group has a history of more than 300 years, the predecessor is relying on the development of the new Luoyang mining industry, and later with the drying up of new Luoyang resources, Tianma Metal Group transformation of the development of new alloys, has achieved good results in this regard, the Ministry of National Defense designated thirteen special metal suppliers, Tianma Metal Group is one of them.

However, in addition to government procurement, the real core industry of Tianma Metal Group, or its fist products, is toys. That's right, the one-to-one simulation mecha is the current fist product of Tianma Metal Group, and it is claimed that in addition to the weapon system, it is completely comparable to the US military in other aspects.

"Our equipment is first-class, and we are investing in scientific research and industrial upgrading every year, but unfortunately now that the world is peaceful, our special metals do not have much sales, and the government only purchases so much every year, so we have to turn to the development of toy ......"

In the end, Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh a little. He used to work in Tianma Metal Group, in fact, so far, almost half of the nearly 30 million people in Xinluoyang rely on Tianma Metal Group for food.

The number of employees has been increasing, but the group's efficiency has not improved, and in the end, it has to use the assembly line to produce weapons to produce toys, which has to be said to be a sadness.

But there is no way. Although Tianma Metal Group is not a charity group, but in order to get the position of the supplier of the Ministry of Defense, it cannot but be responsible for its employees, in a sense, the reason why Tianma Metal Group has been able to get orders from the Ministry of Defense is actually because Tianma Metal Group's storage zĂ i has solved the work problem in New Luoyang.

If three hundred years ago, Tianma Metal Group still had the opportunity to leave New Luoyang, then it is obvious that Tianma Metal Group has lost this opportunity, even if the group's efficiency is not good, the government order must force it to continue to work, otherwise more than two million unemployed workers. Enough to detonate the situation on this planet.

"In our planning, we have actually considered entering the industry of complete vehicles and small spaceships, and the production of some public transportation vehicles is enough to make the group regain its glory. But it's a pity that I can't get the license anymore, I don't know if adults can ......"

After visiting the circle, Yang Chen asked tentatively.

Li Tomb thought for a moment and looked at Sam who came with him on the side, "I remember that the Crescent Group seems to have a business in this area. Tell them that we can work together. ”

Sam smiled wryly. Tomb Li is really easy to say. Before he came, he also went through research, and the problem of Tianma Metal Group can be said to be a problem left over from history.

In fact, any country that has undergone the initial interstellar colonial development will face such a situation, but the chairman of Tianma Metal Group at that time was stupid.

The original Tianma Metal Group actually had a glorious time, when the resources on the new Luoyang had not been exhausted, and the Tianma Metal Group was the only mining metal company in the new Luoyang at that time, which set mining. R&D and production are integrated, and the Federation has single-handedly supported the development of other star fields.

But later, when the resources of New Luoyang dried up, other energy-based companies did not hesitate to withdraw, but the chairman of Tianma Metal Group at that time was a local. Coupled with the temptation of subsidized procurement by the federal government, it survived in one go, and all the workers needed to open the mine took over.

And at that time, both the Federation and the Empire were in military competition, and any industry that had a relationship with the military industry was not worried about interests, but what happened later, everyone knows.

After all, the Federation and the Empire still did not fight, and the civil war caused by the colonial expansion of the Great Voyage quickly subsided, and without the stimulation of the war, the Tianma Metal Group was half-dead.

During this period, some people also mentioned that they would issue vehicle and ship manufacturing licenses to Tianma Metal Group to allow them to enter the civil transportation market, but how could others be willing to do it, at that time it was still the era when Tian Guang covered the sky with one hand, and the consortium under him basically monopolized the major fields, and occasionally there were some benefits that were ceded, which was also given to Mu Chenggong's nobles, where to get the Tianma Metal Group.

Even if it weren't for the fact that there were still 30 million residents in Xinluoyang, it is estimated that the Federation would have been ready to give up here. Judging from this point alone, the territory of Li Tomb has become New Luoyang, and it is conceivable how much Li Tomb has suffered in the entire benefit distribution negotiation.

But the lord could still laugh, and Sam could only be speechless.

In fact, Li Tomb is actually quite satisfied with Xinluoyang, after all, it is an administrative star no matter what, and the economy is a little worse, but nothing comes by itself, even if it is piled up with money.

And the most important thing is that the place is poor, and public opinion is easier to control. It's a very simple truth, in a wealthy place, if you don't do a good job, people will scold. Maintain the status quo, who knows who you are? As for doing a good job, hehe, no one is stupider than anyone these days, and Li Tomb prides himself on not being a genius in the economy.

And an old industrial base like Xinluoyang is easier to give, with his current power, it is only 30 million people, even if he pays out of his own pocket, he can feed it.

As for his pocket, isn't the Crescent Group his money bag!

It is estimated that Gu Yue now knows that Li Tomb is calculating his money bag, and I am afraid that he will regret his original choice. But now there is no room for regret.

Although Li Tomb just said it casually, Sam still talked to Gu Yue as soon as he finished the visit and gave Li Tomb's opinion, and Gu Yue could only smile bitterly, convene the board of directors, and then slowly discuss how to cooperate with Tianma Metal Group.

After visiting Tianma Metal Group, Li Tomb's itinerary for the next day was to visit the local university, without prior notice, Li Tomb was not used to hugging back and forth, and said to Yang Chen, with Sam, the three of them went to the university.

The university was also established a long time ago, under the name of the Federal Third Polytechnic University, which sounds very good, but in fact it has been in decline for a long time.

In addition to this university, there is no second university in Xinluoyang, which has a population of 30 million, but there are still more vocational colleges, but unfortunately there is no use.

"The school spirit of the University of Technology is actually good, and the highest ranking was the fifth federal university, and Sir Fei Yingji graduated from the University."

Li Tomb knows that this person named Fei Yingji, a big bull in the physics world, although he doesn't seem to be able to become a nobleman, but he can get the knighthood canonized by the Southeast Alliance with his academic attainments alone, and it can be imagined what kind of superhuman attainments he has in academics, and he can be said to be the first person in physics in the history of the Muller Federation.

Unexpectedly, such a character turned out to be a graduate of the university in front of him, which looked a little dilapidated, which made Li Tomb a little surprised.

"It turned out to be the alma mater of His Excellency Fei Yingji, so the government should allocate funds to support it, although His Excellency Fei Yingji is no longer a member of the Federation, but I think if there is an opportunity to invite him back to give a speech, it must also be an excellent encouragement to the Federation."

Li Tomb said lightly, but Yang Chen and the others on the side were a little embarrassed, Fei Yingji changed his nationality and joined the Southeast Alliance, but in fact, it was a lot of uproar, the source was the Federal Third Polytechnic University, and the students at that time directly blew up the teaching building donated by Fei Yingji, and it was also on the federal news.

But in fact, it's normal to think about it, weak countries and widows, in the face of big countries, even superpowers, Mueller people are more or less inferior, even nobles like Tian Guang, think about it.

Even if Tian Guang is an earl and dominates the Muller Federation, covering the sky with one hand, I am afraid that he will feel humiliated in his heart. After all, strength determines status, and he has the strength, but he can only succumb to a small marginal country, even if he comforts himself that he wants to make a comeback and start from scratch, but it is extremely depressing to think about it.

The most noble person in this country still has this mentality, you can imagine what ordinary citizens think, so it is no wonder that when Fei Yingji joined the Southeast Alliance, he would set off a reverse action in the Muller Federation, which was also sad to think about.

"No matter how hard you are, you can't be a student. Education is important. ”

Li Tomb glanced at the teaching building, which had obviously not been repaired for a long time, turned his head to Sam and said, "You record it, go back and let Gu Yue and them study it, to see if it is a government grant or a group funding." ”

"Okay."

Sam didn't make sense of this, and it wasn't his money anyway, but he had already made up his mind that most of the government finances would not be able to get money, and he would still have to rely on the Crescent Group.

"The ......"

Yang Chen glanced at Li Tomb and hesitated, "The school wants to invite adults to give a speech, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Forget about the speech. I'm not going to mislead people's children. ”

Li Tomb waved his hand, "That's good, when the allocation here comes down, I'll come again." Otherwise, if you come empty-handed, you will be told a joke by the students. ”

"My lord laughed."

Yang Chen laughed, through the two days of contact, he felt that Li Tomb was quite easy to contact, whether it was true or false, anyway, in Yang Chen's opinion, after New Luoyang became Li Tomb's territory, not to mention other aspects, at least it should not be too poor. (To be continued......)

PS: I feel like I'm really dying, why did I choose this theme, now it's making the whole person Smecta. Ah, if only I could run over it all the way without thinking. But this background, I can't do it. I'm so miserable, I really want the eunuch to get rid of it!
