Chapter 812: Good Calculation
The new leader of the Alliance is the white-haired Dan God, a mysterious master of Dan Technique who has appeared in the realm of Cloud Extinguishing City for less than 20 years; Cloud Extinguishing City and Easy City are about to establish an intercity corridor; many forces allied with Cloud Extinguishing City and Easy City have expressed their intention to establish teleportation arrays between them to facilitate exchanges. During this time, heavy news filled the area with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles around the boundary of Extinguishing Cloud City, like a magnet to attract more forces and individuals to come to contact, among them, there are many who do not want to leave when they come, and there are even large and small forces that reach a consensus and choose to join after contacting the two sides and even other forces of the alliance.
The intercity corridor between Extinguishing Cloud City and Xiaoyao City finally began to break ground two years after the white-haired Danshen officially took over the Xiaoyao Alliance. What is surprising is that originally, everyone thought that the construction of this intercity corridor project was huge and the cost was sky-high, and the two cities would pay a great price for it. However, after the two sides jointly came up with the design blueprint of the intercity corridor named "Yunxiao Corridor", which is 317 miles long and 3 miles wide, and the defense level is completely in accordance with the standard design of the sixth-order defense array and the attack standard of the monks in the early stage of spirit building, the two cities jointly announced that they would "attract investment" to the outside world.
The so-called investment promotion, in fact, is very simple to say, the two cities will divide this more than 300 miles long corridor into thousands of sections of different sizes, each section, the twin cities are only allowed to be operated by a business, and to obtain the right to operate this area, it is necessary to establish this section of the corridor in accordance with the requirements of the two cities, and all the costs are borne by this business. Note that this is all, including the construction of the corridor exterior in this section, the construction of its own business premises, and the houses that need to be configured in this area. Except for the corridor exterior, the right to use all the buildings is permanently owned by the builder, and there is no need to pay any additional fees, and the excess property can be rented out, and all the proceeds are given to the builders. The Twin Cities require that the builders must meet the standard of the fifth order or higher in terms of materials, so as to be able to carry the engraving and arrangement of the defensive circle above the sixth order, and those who fail to meet this requirement are not considered. To this end, Shuangcheng sent a large number of people to lobby various businesses on the mainland. Because the trade of Extinguishing Cloud City has been very hot in recent years, coupled with the emergence of Easy City and the later Dan Array Competition, Centennial Tournament and so on, the reputation has spread far and wide in the Eastern Regions, so, there are many merchants who want to find a place in the Twin Cities but it is difficult to find a place, now, with such a good opportunity, although the conditions seem to be more harsh, but a careful study will find that this is actually a cost-effective deal that will benefit from the permanent benefit of a single investment, and with the establishment of the Cloud Extinguishing City Alliance, if the Cloud Extinguishing City and Xiaoyao City are really connected through this intercity corridor, it will truly form a regional center, such a good development prospect, how can it be easily missedSo after getting the news, the merchants with a little bit of brains and strength didn't even wait for the people from the Twin Cities to find them, so they ran to the door by themselves.
However, when many business representatives or admired or saw the lobbyists sent by Shuangcheng and rushed over, they got a unified answer: because the conditions given by Shuangcheng are too generous, so the number of merchants who come here is a bit too much, and at present, it seems that more than 1,000 sections are not enough to share, so Shuangcheng is also actively negotiating to see if it can come up with a better solution to meet the needs of the merchants to the greatest extent, so please delay here for a few more days, in order to apologize, all the food and accommodation in Shuangcheng these days are covered by Shuangcheng。 I have to say that this is still very sincere, since it has come, it is not bad for so many days, so many business representatives who are bent on seeking wealth can only wait patiently and with peace of mind. The trade between the two cities is now in full swing, and the flow of visitors is increasing day by day, and these days of waiting have made these merchants see their better development prospects and opportunities in the future, and they are more determined to win a piece of golden treasure land to make a fortune. However, all the business representatives who came here gradually found a problem, it seems that we have been waiting for a long time, this is a month in a blink of an eye, every day I see more merchants coming, but I don't see what kind of plan Shuangcheng finally came up with, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Shuangcheng?
The merchants continue to ask people in Shuangcheng, and the reply they get is perfunctory every time, "It's fast, it's fast, and I will soon give you a satisfactory explanation", I don't know where the rumor came from, saying that the high-level officials of the two sides of Extinguishing Cloud City and Xiaoyao City have differences on the construction of the intercity corridor, and the two sides are now arguing, so they have no time to take care of these merchants who come to seek wealth for the time being. This news is conclusive, and it has a nose and eyes, why one day I saw the white-haired Dan Shen flying back to Xiaoyao City from Extinguishing Cloud City, what people from Extinguishing Cloud City ate a closed door soup in Xiaoyao Tower, etc., as if someone had seen it with their own eyes. At this time, the merchants are a little dumbfounded, and they have the heart to leave, but they are reluctant to see such a business opportunity in front of them, and they are reluctant to go, it seems that there is a problem within the twin cities now, and the construction of the intercity corridor seems to be unable to be carried out in a short time. In this contradictory mood, nearly three months have passed, and just when some people are already impatient and ready to withdraw, finally, this time the Twin Cities jointly spoke:
Thanks to the major businesses for their strong support to the Extinguishing Cloud City and the Xiaoyao Alliance, the intercity corridor, because we did not think about it and ignored everyone's enthusiasm, resulting in the situation that there are now more monks and less porridge, and the number of businesses registered with a clear intention to join has far exceeded the number of lots we originally divided. For this reason, we are also very headaches, everyone is a guest from afar, which is really difficult to decide who not to give, so we have not given you a positive answer. I never thought that during this period, in order to obtain the construction right in advance, some merchants actually took a crooked path, and privately promised heavy profits to our senior management in order to open the door for their convenience, which made us deeply disdainful. In order to provide you with a level playing field, we have unanimously decided to adopt a public auction for the construction and management rights of the Intercity Corridor, so that everyone will have the opportunity to participate and win the final victory by strength. There is only one specific bidding rule, that is, whoever can promise to build the best lot for which he has obtained the construction right can obtain the construction right, which means that the capable person wins.
Shameless! Can you be more shameless!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar, which of these merchants was not an old fritter? Now they finally understand why Shuangcheng has dragged on for so long, first, to let everyone fully understand the current situation in Shuangcheng, see the strong business opportunities, and whet everyone's appetite; second, they are deliberately waiting for more merchants to gather after hearing the news, thus creating a tense competitive atmosphere. The so-called saying that some people go through the back door to use crooked ways is just a cover for the public auction after that, although the conditions they offered before are few and very generous, but unfortunately now it seems that they are all bait to attract all merchants to come, and finally if you really want to get the right to build and operate, you still have to fight among your peers and drop a piece of meat first.
However, anger is anger, these days, all the business representatives who arrived in the two cities have witnessed the prosperity of the two cities now, and the large number of people from all over the country pour in and out every day, and all kinds of transactions in full swing, in their eyes, they are all shining spirit stones! Since ancient times, there has been no free lunch in the world, and if you want to get more, you must have a considerable amount of pay, so while the merchants are complaining that Shuangcheng is not kind, there is no good business that has chosen to quit, but some of them think that their strength is not good. The speculators, who had to take a share of the score as soon as possible, wisely gave up the competition, and even so, not many families left directly, they were still waiting for the public auction to be held, hoping to see if they could fall a pie from the sky and hit themselves.
After nearly half a month of procrastination in the Twin Cities, and a group of business representatives who received the news late or traveled far away, the auction of the construction and operation rights of the intercity corridor officially kicked off. Even more infuriating things appeared, every representative participating in the auction was required to pay a "verification fee" of a superb spirit stone when entering the auction hall, if there was no superb spirit stone, then according to the price of one to one hundred and fifty to pay the top grade spirit stone, it was also a beautiful name, to verify the strength of the merchant, in case someone mixed up. The business representatives who came to participate in the intercity corridor this time have exceeded the number of 10,000 people at this moment, and the income from this "admission ticket" alone is already a lot of wealth, with a total of 1,000 places, which means that many people will throw a superb spirit stone into it in vain. This time, it really opened people's eyes, and the two cities were really calculated to the extreme, which made many merchants regard dealing with Shuangcheng as a cautious thing, in case they were accidentally calculated in the future.
As expected, the competition in the auction is extremely fierce, because the conditions proposed by the two cities are very simple, that is, around how to build a more solid corridor, so the bidders have also put a lot of thought into this, first of all, they have made a fuss on the construction materials, and those powerful business opportunities have without exception raised the construction materials from the minimum five orders required by the two cities to the sixth order, and some highly competitive lots have even been raised to the seventh order; secondly, in terms of construction technology and techniques, many representatives of the chamber of commerce have also said that they can provide newer and stronger technologies; and even, some merchants have said that they can appoint or hire a formation mage to help support the defensive attack formation and so on。
It didn't take long for these merchants to unconsciously spell red eyes on their own.
