Volume 2: The Beginning of the Edge Chapter 80: Accurate Analysis
"Xiaomo, what do you say directly. β
The corners of Wang Mo's mouth curled up again, "You want to ask me what I have about the position of the city lord?" β
"Hehe" was told that Cheng Ke could only smile awkwardly.
"Uncle, what do you think of yourself?"
"To be honest, I am only suitable for fighting and defending the city, not for the position of the city lord, but Zhou Ji is too selfish and his behavior is extreme, and he must not hand over Lingtan City to him, I can only fight for it. β
Cheng Ke and Cheng Yong's father and son both belong to that kind of straightforward character, Wang Mo seems to be really unsuitable to be the city lord, but judging from this contact, Cheng Ke is a little better than Zhou Ji.
Wang Mo changed his words and said, "Uncle Cheng, I have a way to help you sit in the position of city lord, but I have a few conditions. β
Cheng Yong was shocked and shouted, "Xiaomo, you!"
"Xiao Yong, let Wang Mo talk about it first. β
"The position of the leader of the city defense army of Lingtan City, and half of the treasure house of the city lord I want. β
After listening to Wang Mo's conditions, Cheng Yong grabbed him by the collar and said angrily, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
The position of the leader of the city defense army is now concurrently held by Cheng Ke, and the city lord's treasury is inherited by the city lords of previous generations, and only the city lord has the authority to call it, and it is full of valuable treasures, and some people say that any one of them is a hundred thousand spirit points.
"The position of the leader of the city defense army is the lowest is also the position of the Great Spirit Sect, if you have the right person to recommend, as long as you complete a few tasks, as for the city lord's treasure house, there are a lot of powerful spiritual weapons stored in it, if you are short of money, I can give you some in the name of a private person." β
"Xiaomo, you are too much, I am ashamed to have you beat my brother like this"
Wang Mo knocked away Cheng Yong's hand holding his shirt, and said with a smile: "How can you see Uncle Cheng clearly if you can't agree to these conditions, I will be ashamed to be with you." β
"You said this on purpose to test my father. β
Cheng Kewen only then realized that it was Wang Mo's language test just now, thinking that his son admired Wang Mo very much, he suddenly believed that the slightly young man in front of him had the ability to change the world when he grew up.
"I'm sorry Uncle Cheng, there are many people in Lingtan City who are important to me and my attention, please forgive me for the offense. β
"It doesn't matter. β
Wang Mo changed his serious expression, "I can't guarantee anything, I just have a small suggestion." β
"I know that I am not a wise and resourceful person, and it is okay to rely on cultivation to protect one side, Xiaomo, you say, no matter what the result is, I will not blame you. β
Wang Mo put his hands behind his back, with a slight sense of superiority, "It all depends on the time, the location, and the people." On cultivation is the same as for you and the deputy city lord of Zhou, but unfortunately the treatment of people and things is poor, there is a shortage of days, everyone belongs to the same city, the qualifications are almost the same, and the location is not advantageous, so it is this person who wants to fight for. β
"I'm a straight person, and I usually offend a lot of people, so what kind of people are there. Cheng Ke scratched his head.
"The construction of the Lingtan City Business Alliance Branch is certain, so the most important thing is where it is. To follow the place chosen by Deputy City Lord Zhou, not only did he offend a group of people, but it was also difficult to make a big change in Lingtan City, which was a loophole in his overall view. If we use it, we will not only be able to gain people's hearts, but also make the old city lord look at you with admiration. β
"I've also looked at the location of the Lingguan Street, and it's already the most suitable place, I really can't think of a better place than that. β
Wang Mo smiled mysteriously and said, "There is a location that is a hundred times better than there, but you haven't found it." β
Cheng Ke and Cheng Yong kept scratching their heads, maybe they thought that this would make the blood flow in their heads faster and make them smarter.
"Where, I am familiar with every land in Lingtan City, why can't I think of it. β
"It's not that you didn't think about it, it's that you didn't dare to think about it at all. β
"Xiaomo, don't sell it. β
"Far away, close at hand. β
"Castle Lord's Mansion !!"
Wang Mo didn't expect this for the first time, and only found out when he arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, "Uncle Cheng, you have to remember every word I say next..." β
Just as Wang Mo was talking, a guard came to report that the city lord had invited everyone to a meeting.
In the lobby of the meeting, there is a huge overhead view of Lingtan City, and you can see every street and building from the side.
The old city lord clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Let me introduce to you, this is Elder Chu Zhongxiong, the head of the Southern District of the Business Alliance, who is in charge of the affairs of the Lingtan City Business Alliance Branch, and I invite everyone to come today to implement this matter, and now there is a difficult problem, that is, the location selection." β
Cheng Ke immediately looked at Wang Mo, but Wang Mo gave him a slightly calming gesture.
"Here is a map of Lingtan City, let's take a look at where the branch of the Business Alliance is located. Deputy City Lord Zhou and Grand Steward Zheng have been busy with this matter, so let's talk about it first. β
Zheng Jingren took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and secretly discussed with Zhou Ji, and he already knew what to say.
Zhou Ji immediately pointed to the street of the Lingguan that he fancied, and said loudly: "This should be the most suitable place, it is convenient for the circulation of goods from the north city gate, all kinds of facilities are complete, there are a large number of people gathered, and there will be countless benefits if it merges with several surrounding streets." Zhou Jiyang talked a lot about it, and he didn't finish it until Wang Mo was almost asleep.
The old city advocate Tan also knows where it is most suitable, "Is there any other idea, there is no right here, as for the spirit hall, everyone can only move out, and the city will allocate another area for you." β
Wang Mo secretly waved his hand, and Cheng Ke knew that it was time for him to appear.
"City Lord, I have a place to recommend, which is several times better than what Deputy City Lord Zhou said, but I don't have the right to decide this place. β
"If you can have a better place, I will eat the map of Lingtan City. β
"Hehe, Deputy City Lord Zhou, don't worry, let Xiao Cheng talk about it first. β
"That place is the City Lord's Mansion. β
Instantly, the conference room fell silent. They all ignored this place, which was equivalent to challenging the authority of the city lord, if it wasn't for Wang Mo's reminder, Cheng Ke wouldn't have remembered that the city lord's mansion was equivalent to the place where he would live in the future, who would have thought of moving his own interests.
"It's kind of interesting, tell me about your considerations. "The old lord is interested.
"Everyone present also knows that Lingtan City was originally a transit town on the southern route, and only considering the north-south connection and the east and west are relatively chaotic, I believe this is also an important issue restricting the future development of Lingtan City. However, there is a solution now. β
The people in the hall began to prick up their ears to listen to Cheng Ke's speech, which was also an important part of Wang Mo's narration, and Cheng Ke simply retold it to attract everyone's attention.
"I think there are three major advantages of choosing a site in the city lord's mansion, first, the original building can be directly used with a slight transformation, and there is no need to push the original building to rebuild, which will cost the people and money; second, with this as the center, re-plan the layout, and set up two cross commercial streets in the north, south, east and west, which can drive the development of the entire Lingtan City; and the most important benefit, although Lingtan City is among the three major cities in the south, it has not been recognized, so it will develop, I believe that in less than three years, the entire south will take Lingtan City as a link, and then the two cities of Lingmiao and Linglong will also regard Lingtan City as a modelγ β
Small profits, future prospects and fame and fortune, the three reasons given by Wang Mo are simply absolute, and anyone who understands can't resist the temptation.
Some of those who heard that they didn't have to move away were full of joy.
"Okay" When someone applauded Cheng Ke's suggestion, the audience instantly applauded, but the people from Deputy City Lord Zhou's faction either bowed their heads and remained silent, or forced a smile.
"Quiet, I have two questions. "Zhou Ji is going to fight.
"If it's like you, then it's not just the original point that will be demolished, how can these people be arranged?
Zhang Tan also thought of this question and looked at Cheng Ke meaningfully.
Cheng Ke said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "After the commercial street is established, two rows of shops will be built, and these people will start a business, and everyone will go where they want to go when they make money, as for the authority of the city lord, I think it is clear which is more important than the future of Lingtan City, what do you say, Lord City Lord." β
"I don't care, anyway, the old man is going to retire, it depends on whether you two care or not. β
"It's nice to live there. Cheng Ke was the first to reply.
Zhou Ji hurriedly complied, "The subordinates don't care." β
Zhang Tan looked at Chu Zhongxiong next to him with a smile on his face, "Haha, that Brother Chu, how do you see my city lord's mansion, I will give it to you if you think it is suitable." β
"Yes, but it can save a lot of costs. β
"Then it's decided, Cheng Ke, you are responsible for the matter that you proposed. β
"Yes. β
"It's all gone. β
The crowd slowly dispersed, only Wang Mo was left in place, not that he didn't want to go, but he couldn't move.
Chu Zhongxiong turned to the old city lord and asked proudly, "Haha, brother, my apprentice is good." β
"At a young age, you are a high-level spirit master, brother, you have picked up a treasure. It's called Wang Mo, let's give you this little thing when we meet for the first time. A white jade pendant was handed to Wang Mo.
"The elder gave it, and he didn't dare to resign, but the kid was disrespectful, thank the old city lord for rewarding. Wang Mo bent down and saluted
"I'll tell you he'll take it, haha. β
The old city lord squinted his eyes and asked, "It's quite clever, Cheng Ke's idea was yours, right?"
"Now that you can see it, the kid has no choice but to admit that it was indeed me. β
"It's a good idea, I haven't even thought about renovating the City Lord's Mansion, but have you ever thought that Cheng Keshi is not suitable to be this city lord?"
Wang Mo pondered carefully for a moment and replied: "It's not suitable at the moment, but it is suitable in the long run." β
"Okay, it's a good sentence that is suitable in the long run, Zhou Ji never dreamed that his vision was not as good as your child. β
"Okay, let's go back, I'll look for you tomorrow, I still have a lot of things to talk about with my brother. β
"Yes, the apprentice is leaving. β
