Chapter 207 Good News (Part 2)
On the streets and in the restaurants at the bottom level, everyone was talking about the Sky Space Country. It was already 4 p.m., and many people were still waiting to see the news about the talks between the two sides.
This sudden news made the merchants in the city most excited, because once trade was opened, the economy of Brilliant City would never be able to continue to grow no matter how it changed, but now it was different. Once trade was opened with the Sky Space Country, the economy would continue to grow.
Now many people at the bottom level have unprecedented expectations for the future. This expectation is not temporary. Although many things were worth looking forward to for the bottom level in the past, this expectation was short-lived. After a short period of improvement, the bottom level returned to its old state.
Now it is different, because everyone knows that as long as the agricultural base in the barrier area is gradually established, the situation at the bottom level will completely change. From the beginning, there was resistance to this plan, but now many people are looking forward to the early establishment of the agricultural base.
Nowadays, houses at the bottom level are already in high demand, and many people want to buy houses at the bottom level. However, when the housing prices just started to rise, Section 7 has issued an order to restrict house transactions. If the house is traded privately, the ownership of the house will not be recognized.
All of this is to prevent speculators from taking advantage of loopholes. Once the housing prices are driven up, it will cause a devastating blow to the healthy economy that has been established with great difficulty in the entire lower class.
In principle, Brilliant City allows houses to be traded freely, but the price of the houses traded cannot be higher than the horizontal comparison amount of comprehensive factors such as prices and population in the region. The situation at the lower class is now chaotic, and the economy is growing rapidly.
The housing in Brilliant City is also divided into residential security housing and commercial housing. Commercial housing has grades, and the price of commercial housing is not restricted by various economic indexes in the region, but is determined by supply and demand.
Once many houses at the lower class are purchased by speculators, they can make a lot of money by simply converting them into commercial housing. Once the housing prices rise across the board, the house rents will increase exponentially, and the labor costs will also rise with it, which will not benefit the economy of the lower class at all.
After the lower class, whose per capita income was originally not high, finally began to increase their income, once the housing prices rose, the cost of living would increase accordingly, so the lower class would return to the old state, so after a few house transactions began to appear at the lower class, Section 7 immediately took action.
In the most recent house transaction, the price of the ground floor has risen to 2,000 yuan per square meter. This increase is shocking. The original price of the ground floor housing was 50 yuan per square meter at most, and the price increased 40 times in just one week.
Every day, a large number of speculators wander around the streets of the ground floor, and they all want to find opportunities to buy houses on the ground floor, especially some commercial and residential houses on the streets. These old houses have withdrawn from the ranks of commercial houses due to their construction years.
Most speculators target houses on the streets, but now many people who want to buy houses on the ground floor can no longer handle real estate transactions, but there are still speculators and house owners who sign some agreements that are not protected by the law.
After the formal permission for house sales, the transaction will be based on the originally agreed price or the price set according to market conditions.
Early this morning, the 7th Department introduced a more stringent policy. Once it is discovered that the buyer and seller negotiate to buy a house privately, they will not only be fined, but also bear criminal responsibility for disrupting the market. The 7th Department has issued a strict order to impose heavy penalties.
The series of practices of the recent department have made the people at the bottom feel the beauty. Everyone is working actively, and laughter can be heard in the streets every day.
Not only the agricultural base in the Barrier Area is full of hope, but now the wind power generation facilities built by the Angus family in the Barrier Area have begun to be tested in the Barrier Area. At night, you can see the lights on in the Barrier Area.
The Angus family has issued a statement that once several wind power plants in the Barrier Area are built, they will gradually start to supply power to the lower areas, so that the problem of insufficient power supply in some areas can be completely solved.
3 o'clock in the afternoon
Avano and the engineers in the family, braving the wind and sand, are next to a storage power station, quietly looking at some power generation values on the built-in screen. The current storage capacity is not very stable.
Originally, it was planned to directly transmit the power to the city through the line, but after a few days of testing, Avano decisively gave up the line transmission method and switched to storage panels, which can save more energy. After all, the loss of electricity on the way of power transmission is too alarming, and in such a harsh low-temperature environment, the maintenance of circuit equipment is a big problem.
Including if the sun starts to shine on the barrier area in the future, I am afraid that the circuit lines in the entire barrier area will need to be buried underground. Such a large project is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there are too many uncertainties.
So use high-efficiency panels to transport the stored electricity to the major power stations in the city, and directly transmit the electricity.
"Mr. Avano, I think the current timing is still a little immature."
An engineer said, Avano nodded, originally wanted to quickly build a large number of wind power generation machines, but after the recent test, it was found that wind power generation is very unstable, and the loss of equipment is still very large. Although the best alloy has been used, there are defects in stability.
Because the temperature difference in the barrier area fluctuates too much, and the data obtained from the actual simulation experiment and the field test experiment are also very different, Avano is a little helpless because it can only make a little bit based on the actual test data. Improved.
But now the stored power cannot be wasted, so Avano has temporarily set up a charging station nearby so that people in the barrier area who have obtained air quality generators can come here to charge for free.
Including some rechargeable lighting and heating equipment, these are products from decades ago, but for people in the barrier area, these things are like a treasure trove, allowing them to keep themselves warm and eat something in the cold night Warm things to talk and laugh under the light.
"Mr. Avano, let's go back first, the wind is getting stronger and stronger."
Avano nodded, and the group of people entered a car with difficulty, and then the car quickly returned to the agricultural base in the wind and sand. The wall had been built to a length of 5 kilometers.
It was able to temporarily isolate most of the wind and sand outside. As soon as Avano got out of the car and entered the base, he felt a little warmer. There were people in the barrier area busy everywhere, many of them were carrying some materials, and Help take care of some experimental fields.
The construction team is still building a wall to block wind and sand. What is needed now is to conduct thorough agricultural experiments in the barrier area, so a large area must be isolated and valid experimental data must be obtained before the next step can be started.
Avano headed towards a 5-story small building that had been built. It was the office and dormitory assigned to their Angus family. Five such small buildings have been built, and they are currently used by people from all walks of life. Offices and dormitories.
Behind the constructed fence are some simple shacks, and a large number of people in the barrier area who work in agricultural bases live in such shacks.
Back in the office, Avano was a little tired. In such a harsh environment, a person's physical exertion is quite large.
"Sorry everyone, I have to take a rest."
When Avano returned to the room, he smelled the aroma of stew prepared by his wife Violet.
"Really, I just need to come out, you don't have to follow me out."
"What, I feel pretty good, such an experience."
Violet came over with stew, Avano smiled, and the couple sat at the small table. The wind and sand outside slapped the window, and there were many busy sounds.
"If we are too tired, how many days can we go back and rest?"
Avano shook his head.
"There are still many things to deal with now, including the construction of the reservoir. There are too many headaches."
"Why don't you go talk to Field?"
Avano laughed.
"Even if I were killed, I wouldn't go looking for him."
Grain stalks
Indeed, if you have a good talk with the Hotson family, you can ask them to send some technical personnel to help. After all, the Industrial Association has the top engineers in the city. In the past, when the Angus family was building subways and hydropower stations, Field Company The engineers gave them great help.
But this time, their family was excluded from the underlying investment. Such a thing would probably make Field feel uncomfortable. Avano couldn't stand that guy's face.
"Aren't there a lot of problems that can't be solved now? No matter how difficult it is, you have to ask, or do you want me to go?"
Avano smiled helplessly. He could only nod in agreement, and then immediately decided to go back to the city after eating and go directly to talk to the people in the Industrial Association to ask them to provide some technical help.
Soon the couple left the small building and went to a nearby place, asking a director officer from Section 12 to take them back to the city. They crossed the southern guard station in just 5 minutes after the helicopter took off.
Avano called Field as soon as he entered the city.
"I'm surprised you called me, Avano."
The sound sounded normal, and Avano laughed.
"I have something to talk to you about, Field. Is it convenient now?"
Field laughed.
"Of course it's convenient. We have a lot of free time now. You can come over anytime. I'm playing ball!"
The lift went directly towards the family area on the upper floor. Half an hour later, the lift landed on the lawn of the Hotson family. Field was playing golf with members of the family and some businessmen from the industrial association.
"Would you two take a shower first?"
As soon as they met Field, he noticed the disgraceful appearance of the Angus couple, and Avano smiled helplessly.
"No, I have to go back later."
Others also gathered around. Field probably knew Avano's purpose. He immediately winked and everyone else retreated.
"Tell me, do you want us to provide technical support?"
"yes."
Avano was not going to beat around the bush, and Field laughed.
"Okay, no problem at all. Just prepare a report on what the problem is, and I will ask them to send the corresponding technicians there. The wages will be settled according to their standard wages."
Avano looked at Field in shock, and Violet was also shocked, because the couple did not expect that Field would change his previous attitude and completely agree.
"You two don't need to be so surprised. After all, I am a businessman. I can see the current situation more clearly than anyone else. In the future, I just hope that you will not compete with us, especially when it comes to foreign trade."
Avano nodded.
"I didn't expect you to agree so readily."
"Of course I will agree to anything that is good for me. If you really succeed, I also want to invest in the agricultural base in the barrier area."
Avano said, holding out his hand.
"Thanks."
Field laughed.
"How about we go take a shower, let's have a drink and then go back?"
Avano nodded in agreement. Field is not a fool. He must obey everything in the city now. Whatever the city wants, he will support it with both hands, and he must contribute, so that when he is old, he can have the ability to obtain biochemical machinery. The right to transform.
Field has been very clear since he was a child that nothing in this world is right or wrong. Everything is based on transactions between the two parties. As long as he does all this well now, their industrial association will definitely be able to win in the future. to a large number of foreign trade orders.
The competition has begun, and Field knows very well that the future of the Huosen family will be brighter. Now the Su family and the Angus family are busy at the bottom, while the Jiang family and the Chen family are struggling with their own affairs. The Wang family can only rest on their laurels in recent years. , even if there will be various constructions in the city in the future, it will be difficult for them to make any waves again.
As for the Phoebus family, they are already half-dead, so the city's foreign trade opportunities can only fall into the pockets of the Hotson family.
"I still have to give you a heads up Field."
Avano said, his expression became serious, and Field put away his smile.
"You tell me."
"You can indeed gain a foothold in external trade, but I have to remind you that you are a citizen of Brilliant City."
Field thought for a moment and then laughed.
"Of course, trading is just a means of game between countries. Of course I know my position. I am from Brilliant City."
Avano nodded, and Field naturally knew that they had all been speculating on something recently, because the interaction with Asgard might not be as simple as it seemed.
"Okay, today I will have a barbecue party and invite some people over. Invite your family members as well. Let's talk about the past while drinking. After all, I invited a special person today."
Violet said after thinking for a moment.
"Jewel?"
Field nodded.
"I invited him. I don't know if he will come, but I have to at least give it a try. After all, he is my nephew."
