My courtyard shelter

"Big leader, if that's the case, then why do we still want to join the Asian Alliance?"

Minister Jin expressed his confusion. Joining the Asian Alliance would not make their lives better, so it would be better to maintain the status quo. At least their current living standards have far exceeded that of most people in Daxia.

"Short-sighted!"

Leader Li sighed.

"In recent years, we can still make a living by selling junk. When the junk is sold out, our good days will be over. If we have nothing to eat, aren't you afraid that the soldiers will rise up and rebel?"

As the saying goes, a broken ship still has three thousand nails.

The industrial strength of the Southern Dynasty was very strong before. Now it can barely support the survival of two or three million people by selling second-hand equipment and scrap copper and iron.

But it won't last long if it eats up all the resources.

Joining the Asian Alliance is the only way out.

Minister Jin certainly knows the current predicament, but he just subconsciously ignores it. People, most of the time, only care about the present and rarely have long-term plans. .

And he has sent his family to Daxia, so he has no worries.

This practice is very popular in the Southern Dynasty. Even the big leaders are no exception. Except for the big leaders' wives, other relatives are not around.

The passion to fight against the chaebols and plead for the people has been worn down by reality in just three years.

Their struggle did not make the country better, but pushed it to the brink of destruction. Is there anything more ironic than this?

Living from hand to mouth has become the most true portrayal of this group of people. They did not defeat the evil dragon, but transformed into another evil dragon.

"Big leader, you are still far-sighted."

Minister Jin said sincerely.

Leader Li lit a cigar: "Minister Jin, listen to me, the current era is a time of great contention, we must follow the trend, so that we can benefit the country, the people, and ourselves."

"I understand."

"Okay, finally remind you that the replacement work in Guanyue District must be completed as soon as possible, and do not leave any hidden dangers."

"Yes, guarantee to complete the task."

...

In a blink of an eye, it was February 8, Saturday.

Xu Dong finally found time to come to Jinchang'an Building. After the Kuai 8 Hotel was acquired, Xu's father suggested that the company be moved here.

"Old Xu, you are finally here. The company has accumulated a lot of things in the past two days. You need to make the decision in person. There are also recruitment matters, and you also need to interview."

Since returning from the Southern Dynasty, Mr. Cai and others have been busy with the preliminary preparations for the cheap apartment.

Although Xu Dong gave the other party a lot of autonomy, some major matters, especially those involving financial transactions, required his nod of approval.

"Isn't my father here? It's the same if you go to him." Xu Dong asked in confusion.

"Alas, Mr. Xu is busier than us. He is usually at the bakery and we can't meet at all. When you call him, just say that you are responsible for everything in the company."

Mr. Cai smiled bitterly.

Xu Dong touched his chin. The bakery is undergoing a second round of major expansion. No wonder his father has no time. Compared with the major events of the bakery, the Kuai 8 Hotel is indeed not worth distracting.

"Okay, there's no need to rush for recruitment. It's enough to hire a few assistants for now. When Hancheng University is renovated, we will start large-scale recruitment."

A cheap apartment with tens of thousands of beds requires a lot of employees.

Although the most basic employees can be recruited locally, it is better for the main management to be held by locals, so that they are not easily sidelined.

"Old Xu, there is no need to rush for recruitment, but you must participate in the design of the apartment. We are really undecided about some plans."

Mr. Cai explained quickly.

"Really? The preliminary design plan is out?"

Xu Dong followed the other party into a small meeting room.

"It came out yesterday. Hancheng University is originally a large living community. It is very suitable for cheap apartments and does not need drastic reconstruction."

"Okay, you gather all the staff here, let's hold a closed-door meeting today and try to finalize the reconstruction plan."

"That's what I mean. Please wait a moment, I will notify other people to come." Mr. Cai agreed quickly.

Xu Dong waved his hand and let the other party do whatever he wants.

In less than ten minutes, the small conference room was full of people. The original Kuai 8 Hotel had nine management staff, and with Xu Dong, there were exactly ten people.

Before the meeting started, President Cai first introduced Xu Dong to everyone. This was also the first time everyone met the big boss behind the scenes.

Xu Dong symbolically said a few inspiring words. In summary, the company has a bright future, everyone should work hard, everyone present is a company veteran, and the company will not treat hard-working people unfairly.

"Pa pa pa..."

Whether it was sincere or false, the applause was very warm, and everyone looked full of energy.

Then, the meeting began.

President Cai prepared PPT and schematic diagrams in advance so that Xu Dong would not be in the dark.

The first big problem was water supply and electricity supply.

Xu Dong frowned and asked, "Is there no power plant in the urban area of ​​Hancheng?"

"No, but there is one in Renchuan Port, which is only 40 kilometers away from the urban area. In fact, this power plant was planned and built by our consulate, and it is located in the embassy district."

The civil war in the Southern Dynasty was no joke, and the power stations outside the embassy district had long been bombed.

"How big is our consulate? How can we build a power plant?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"Hey, Lao Xu, I will definitely shock you when I say it. Our consulate covers an area of ​​45 square kilometers, which is half larger than our Guanyue District."

"Awesome!" Xu Dong exclaimed.

"According to the information I heard, such a large area was given to us by the Southern Dynasty. If we hadn't moved the consulate to Renchuan Port, the port might not have been saved."

"You are smart enough to think of such a method."

"There is probably nothing we can do. Without the continuous blood transfusions from Renchuan Port, Hancheng would not be able to survive today."

Xu Dong nodded, and then ordered: "Since Renchuan Port has electricity, we can just connect a line to it when the time comes. We won't have to build a power plant ourselves, right?"

"Old Xu, in fact, the investment in power plants is not as high as imagined, and the profits are very considerable." Mr. Cai tried to persuade.

"Stop it." Xu Dong refused directly, "The power plant will not be fine once it is built. It also involves coal burning and power transmission, which is not something we can interfere with."

He himself works for an electric power company, and the water here is very deep. With their family's background, they don't dare to get involved easily.

Mr. Cai was a little disappointed.

"But, let's apply? The consulate may not agree? And the cost of a 40-kilometer line will definitely be high."

Xu Dong waved his hand: "This matter is not urgent. We will wait until the civil war in the Southern Dynasties stops. Then someone will naturally help us solve these problems."
