doomsday new world

"A lot of alien races have gathered outside the city now. These alien races are not hostile. They brought a lot of items and want to exchange them. Although they are not allowed to enter the city, as far as I know, there are many people during this time. They are all secretly trading with these alien races in exchange for items of alien races, so I think it is difficult to prohibit this matter, it is better to open the channel, which is also a good thing for our development!" The one-eyed fifth said at the moment, patting the table. .

Li Xia on the opposite side shook her head and said: "These foreign races exchange some seemingly good but possibly low-value items for our automatic weapons, our vitality electronic products, and even some more important things. I am not opposed to doing business with foreign races, but We need to be prepared, otherwise we may be taken advantage of by some alien races who have plans for us, because once the trade is allowed, those alien races will be allowed to enter and deal with people in Wucheng. At that time, our core secrets will be in danger of being stolen , Fifth, I don’t disagree, I just need to be prepared.”

After listening to his right-hand man arguing for an hour, Wu Ming finally figured out the matter.

It has to be said that dealing with alien races is inevitable. In the past, for humans, alien races represented strength and danger, but as time went by, when humans gradually acquired the ability to survive in the world of vitality, this Only then did I suddenly realize that those alien races were nothing more than that.

Like humans, alien races have emotions, desires, pain, and fear of death. When these alien races knew that human beings were no longer the bones that they could gnaw at will, they changed their strategies. Force is no longer the first choice when dealing with humans. Next comes various exchanges, including trade.

Whether it is human or alien, it is for survival, and survival will inevitably require various materials and resources, such as Yuanjing iron ore, which is needed by both humans and aliens. Aliens need these for making long swords and armor, while humans make bullets, Firearms, cannons, and even airplanes are also needed. These are items for war preparation. The weapons and armors forged by alien races are of high quality, and humans need them. It's a huge market.

Blindly prohibiting it is obviously not feasible, and it is obviously not feasible to suddenly open it without making any preparations, so the one-eyed fifth and Li Xia's considerations are both right.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming already had a decision in his heart, but he got up and stopped the few people who were still arguing.

"I understand the situation. I think it is necessary to conduct business with foreign races. I don't even rule out the possibility of forming alliances with foreign races in the future. If we want to survive in this world, we must do so, but as Li Xia said, we Be prepared, I believe that with our human ingenuity, we will definitely not be inferior to those of foreign races. I suggest selecting talents who are proficient in business from several cities. We need to establish a commercial department to specifically control business activities with foreign races. How exactly? I don’t know what to do, Mr. Qin, the fifth child, Li Xia, I will leave this matter to you.” No one dared not to listen to Wu Ming’s words, and this is also thanks to Li Xia and Qi Ting, who were there when Wu Ming was not around. , still maintain the supreme ruling power of the city lord, and any disrespect and hostile forces against the city lord, they will adopt a brutal method.

Therefore, Wu Ming's order is an imperial decree, and no one can object to it.

Immediately, this order was carried out. Wu Ming's suggestion neutralized the opinions of the two factions, but as he said, Wu Ming did not understand how to do it. After all, he did not study finance and business.

Soon the news of the business with foreign races and the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce spread throughout the gathering places of Wucheng, Lion City, Silver Moon City and Rongzhen.

Those talents who were not strong and were still working hard at the bottom, but were considered financial giants in the old world, immediately became alive in their hearts. Obviously, this was an opportunity for them to soar into the sky.

Lao Zheng, who lives in a slum in the outer city of Lion City, is one of them.

He is guarding his family now, and his life is quite difficult. There is nothing he can do about it. There are too many people. A place like Lion City that can feed their family, at least so that they will not starve to death, is better than other places. The gathering place is too strong, which is why Wucheng and Lion City can gather people's hearts.

That is, you come here, as long as you work hard, I will feed you.

In the new world, having enough to eat is already a hard indicator, just like real estate in the old world. Even when some young men and women of marriageable age are discussing marriage, it is also a consideration to see whether the other party's ability can make them full. index of.

Of course, the awakened ones are more popular, but with the passage of time and the popularity of vitality collectors, the number of awakened ones is increasing, and there are fewer unawakened ones, mostly children under the age of 12.

Lao Zheng has an eight-year-old daughter and his wife. His wife has a leg disabled due to some accident, so she can only stay at home to take care of her daughter. Because they have no special abilities, Lao Zheng can only live in the lion He works in a factory newly established in the city, and earns a meager income to support his family, which is barely enough, but Lao Zheng not only has his wife and daughter to support, but also two other children.

The two children, one 11 years old and the other seven years old, met when they fled. Their parents fled the city together with Lao Zheng and experienced the destruction of even small groups. On the way to escape, the children's parents He didn't persist and was dragged away by the monster. At that time, Lao Zheng's wife also had a leg cut off and became disabled.

Lao Zheng and his wife had promised the parents to take care of their children, and Lao Zheng was a trustworthy man, so he carried all the burdens alone.

But it is not difficult to feed five people by one person.

In the old world, Lao Zheng was a real elite, a financial expert, who specialized in analyzing international business, but now he can only go to the factory every day to assemble Yuanqi bullets, and he must assemble [-] rounds every day. There are rewards for exceeding, but not many.

So when the Lord of Wucheng ordered the commercial department in the city, Lao Zheng was moved. He asked the foreman for leave and ran directly to the registration point. The foreman was also a good person. Before leaving, he hoped that Lao Zheng could was chosen.

Seeing Lao Zheng running out in a hurry, the foreman said to the others: "Old Zheng is not easy. One person has to feed such a big family. Unlike us, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry. However, I am still a little bit worried. Well, I have pity on my wife, if she can live, let alone one leg is disabled, even if both legs are gone, I will be happy even if I am exhausted every day!"

As he spoke, the foreman recalled the past, with tears in his eyes.

Although they have experienced too much pain, they are fortunate that they are still alive and can become a member of the Lion City. This is much better than those who are still fleeing and wandering outside.

There is already a long queue at a registration point in Lion City. I heard that a commercial department will be established, and many people have come to register. Everyone knows that joining this new department will definitely be much better than it is now, at least the remuneration will be qualitative. improvement, so anyone who has a little confidence in himself has come to sign up.

But the reality is cruel. The Ministry of Commerce needs real elites, so it is impossible for ordinary financial people to pass. Only those who can really take on the burden in the old world can.

Wu Ming is standing next to a registration point at the moment, looking at the crowd in line, hoping to find some real talents. In the old world, if you don't give someone a few million a year, you don't even think about hiring a real talent. Want all kinds of benefits, if people don't like what they do, they may change jobs at any time. .

But now, as long as they are given enough food, those elites from the past will rush over.

Wu Ming came here just to check the situation. At this time, there was a voice of weeping with joy from the registration point. A middle-aged man with messy hair had obviously passed the examination and was hired, and it seemed that the position was not low.

At this moment, the man was crying bitterly holding a crippled woman and three children.

"Old Zheng, is this true? You really became the vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce? I'm not dreaming!" The crippled woman couldn't be more excited. Although she didn't know what this position was like, she knew from the name that it was not easy. , the deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce, this is quite a big position, at least it should be able to support their family.

Wu Ming has a good ear, and he was a little surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect to give this old Zheng such a high position. The deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce is equivalent to a minister, because the minister is obviously concurrently held by Xixi. Her father She was a big boss at the beginning, plus her status, so she will take care of it for the time being, and she said that she knows how much she has and she knows best when she finds a suitable person, and she will immediately abdicate and give way to the virtuous, and in this The people who signed up for an interview were Xi Xi and a few people with business backgrounds. The vice minister they chose was actually the future minister.

That being the case, Wu Ming also planned to meet the other party in the past.

Lao Zheng's family was immersed in the envious attention of others after the joy. At this moment, they felt that someone came over, and with the sound of "purge", the chaotic scene immediately quieted down.

Lao Zheng looked up and saw a young man approaching surrounded by a group of people, and all the Awakened soldiers with guns saluted the young man.

All of a sudden, Lao Zheng's family was a little confused.

He saw that the examiners who interviewed him just now were walking behind this young man, and when he saw the young man's face, he immediately knew who it was.

In order to shape Wu Ming's personality, Li Xia directly erected a statue of Wu Ming in the Lion City, and some places even posted the portrait of the city lord, so as long as you are not a fool, you know at this moment that the person who is coming here is the city lord of Wu City and the lion. The first member of the city, Wu Ming. (To be continued.)
