Chapter 530 three day vacation
After the banquet, Chu Guang received many gifts.
Although most of the survivors’ settlements gave gifts to him personally, Chu Guang still accepted them in the name of the alliance.
“…This sword is my eldest brother’s saber. The late king gave him this sword when he was full moon, and he took it with him for as long as he could remember. He asked me to tell you that the Honey Badger Kingdom is willing to be the sharp edge of the alliance. , the enemy of the Alliance is our enemy.”
handed the sword in his hand to Chu Guang, Avni looked at him intently, and then handed over a shield with the royal emblem of the honey badger.
“This shield is a gift from my second brother. He asked me to convey his original words to you. The Honey Badger Kingdom is willing to serve as a shield for the alliance. We will watch for you from the threat from the west. Friendship will be as strong as steel.”
took the shield from her hand and put it aside, Chu Guang said solemnly.
“Thank you for your gifts. The friendship between the alliance and the Honey Badger Kingdom will be as strong as steel. In addition, I sincerely hope that your two brothers will have a harmonious relationship and properly handle internal affairs, so as not to disappoint your residents’ trust in you.”
Honey Badger royal family is loved by local residents.
Otherwise, after the Legion came, there would not be so many people resisting, and even exiled to the Lion Kingdom with Yade to form the Restoration Army.
Chu Guang did not intend to interfere in their affairs, but only if it did not turn into a **** conflict.
I believe that both Yard and Summer should have a good idea.
“I will keep your teachings in mind and advise them in due course.”
Avne bowed slightly.
After a short pause, she turned around and fetched the red satin under the sword and shield. Only then did Chu Guang realize that it was a cloak, and he couldn’t help but tease.
“You are the only force that sent us three different gifts, and we will cherish this friendship.”
“This is my gift.” Avne blinked, nodded slightly, and said, “Thank you for imparting my knowledge and taking care of me all the time.”
“You’re welcome. Your colleagues who work with you have a high opinion of you. What we do can’t be said to take care of you.”
Glancing at the mountains of gifts behind him, Chu Guang moved slightly in his heart and said with a smile, “I plan to build a museum in Dawn City and put all the gifts in it as a testimony of our friendship for the residents of all places to watch.”
After that, he also plans to build a zoo to house the alien species caught by the players, including death claw, monsters, and so on.
can not only be used for scientific research purposes, but also to popularize new players and residents who have not traveled far, and to demonstrate the strength of the alliance’s combat effectiveness.
“That’s great.”
Personally, Avne felt a lot of regret in her heart, but after thinking about it, a cheerful smile appeared on her face again.
That might be good too…
In addition to the gifts from the Honey Badger Kingdom, the Lion Kingdom sent a hundred tall and mighty warhorses to the Alliance. This thing can’t be put in the museum, it can only be put in after the zoo is planned.
Since the alliance did not have a traditional cavalry unit, Chu Guang chose 60 horses from them and planned to send them to the guards in Dawn City, Dawn City, and Leaves City respectively.
In the wild with bad road conditions, horses will be faster than bicycles, which can form a sufficient deterrent, but will not scare people like death claws.
Golden Lizard Kingdom sent Chu Guang a 1:1 restored gold bust. It is said that the gold used was melted by the Legion’s dinars. Although they are vassals of the Academy, they are also optimistic about the market in the River Valley Province.
The Hump Kingdom sent the Alliance a mechanical clock studded with blood diamonds to thank the Alliance for its immediate assistance in the Lost Valley military operation, and at the same time to show its wealth and the excellent craftsmanship of its craftsmen.
Compared with the royal families with different thoughts, corporate gifts are more pragmatic.
Wu Changnian, on behalf of the council, presented Chu Guang with a four-wheeled off-road vehicle nearly three meters high.
The huge tires stand up the chassis, the structural material of the car body is light special steel, and the glass is a special bulletproof glass, which is said to be able to block the shooting of light Gauss weapons.
“I see that you wear power armor all day long, so you should prefer this kind of muscular guy,” Wu Changnian patted the off-road hood in front of the auditorium and said with a smile, “This is the Changge Group. The product of its subsidiary, the V-100 ‘Tiger’ off-road, you can use it as a wheeled armored vehicle.”
There was one thing he didn’t say.
If you think it is easy to use, there is no problem in purchasing more. This is different from the big plane, which is not on the technically sensitive list.
Chu Guang looked at the big guy with admiration, then looked at Wu Changnian and asked.
“Can this car fly?”
Fang Chang and Mole said that the cars in the ideal city can fly in the sky.
He was more interested in that technology.
Wu Changnian coughed softly.
“You don’t have a maglev roadbed here… We didn’t install a maglev device. But even if there is, I don’t recommend flying this thing in the sky. The steel structure car is still a bit heavy.”
But that’s why, even if you wear power armor, you can sit in it.
It can even seat four.
Staring at the off-road vehicle, Chu Guang suddenly said with emotion.
“I just said I’m going to build a museum and put all the delegates’ gifts in there.”
“We are pragmatists, and a product is a pity if no one uses it. You can put a car key first, and then put the whole car in when it’s worn out, I think it makes more sense. , but also more proof of our friendship,” Wu Changnian shook Chu Guang’s hand and said with a smile, “This cooperation with you is very pleasant, and I hope it will be the same in the future. We can work together to explore a better future.”
Chu Guang squeezed his hand back and said with a smile.
“must!”
Later he planned to assign the car to the Guards.
If it is easy to use, he will consider importing a few more vehicles from the Changge Group and distribute them to the departments and corps in need. Of course, if the reverse work of the academy’s “reindeer” crawler in the Dawn City Industrial Zone goes well, this foreign exchange expenditure can be saved.
The large-scale war has ended, and the progress of research and development of heavy equipment such as tanks and artillery can be slightly slowed down. According to Chu Guang’s plan for the Alliance Army Command, the next stage of equipment research and development will focus on miniaturization and special operations.
That is, the minutiae that were omitted or simply skipped before perfecting.
In short, not only the alliance’s allies and partners, including Boulder City, Garbage City, Red River Alliance, and even Dam City, which Chu Guang first heard about, also sent a generous gift to the alliance.
But what makes Chu Guang happy the most is not a gift from other survivors’ settlements, but a “big gift” brought to him by Xiaoyu who came back from Camp 101…
…
“Xiaoyu and Pai also have a special gift for Brother Chu…although it’s not something precious.”
Vault 404, the browsing room on the B4 floor.
Xiaoyu’s face was flushed, and he said shyly with an embarrassed smile.
And Pai, who was standing next to her, couldn’t wait to hand out the thumb-sized hard drive in his hand, and said with a smug mouth.
“The things you want have been done, so use them with confidence! By the way, you can use the holographic computer I gave you to see. If there is anything that needs improvement, just let me know!”
That expression.
I almost didn’t write “Hurry Up” on my face.
“That’s great!” Chu Guang took the hard drive from her hand with a smile on his face, and graciously fulfilled her wish, “Thank you, you are a great help.”
Hearing this sentence, Xiaoyu’s face burst into a happy smile, but he soon seemed to realize something, looked at Pai next to him in surprise, and asked in a low voice.
“Wait…Didn’t you say you wanted to surprise Big Brother Chu? How did you become Big Brother Chu and asked us to do it.”
’s smug expression froze on his face, Pai subtly looked away, and murmured awkwardly.
“I feel like this will make you more motivated…”
Even the speed of learning things has become faster.
Xiaoyu stared at her and raised his eyebrows, his expression seemed to be really angry.
“you’re lying!”
During the time at Camp 101, she had always regarded Pai as her good friend, but Pai had lied to her for so long!
“Woooo… It’s my fault, I’m sorry! I won’t dare next time!”
Unable to bear the serious and serious expression of his good friend, Pai turned to Chu Guang for help, hoping that he could help him.
However, Chu Guang’s attention at the moment was completely attracted by the blue light projected by the holographic computer pen, and he dragged his index finger on the screen with interest.
Even before the war started, he asked Camp 101 to help develop a bond credit contract and a supporting trading system that fit the current economic rules of the alliance.
At that time, this system was prepared for the issuance of war bonds, with the purpose of “making social resources more efficient in the alliance’s war machine”.
It was only because the Boulder City loaned him a large amount of loan, and the company gave the loan and subsidized it, so that he delayed this tool for cutting leeks.
If he can achieve his goal by wronging others, Chu Guang will definitely not wrong his own people. When you unite with your own people, you can unite with others.
And now he has brought out this set of tools, on the one hand, to allow more alliance residents to share the dividends of economic development, and on the other hand to further scoop up the wool of the neighbors.
The alliance will issue two sets of bonds.
A set of domestic debts redeemed in local currency is used to recover excess liquidity generated by large-scale infrastructure investment, and along with interest, part of the social wealth generated by infrastructure is distributed from the hands of direct beneficiaries to most ordinary survivors who cannot participate. .
The other set of is the foreign debt paid in foreign currency. The foreign currency raised is used to purchase the commodities in the market where the currency is located, suppressing inflation in the local market of the alliance, and exporting excess liquidity in the local market.
It’s like two barrels of beer.
As the person who “distributes drinks”, Chu Guang can decide to a certain extent which barrel to put the real beer in, and where to put the foam from the beer.
Although there have been such financial instruments in the history of the People’s Federation, the current situation is different from the past, and it is obviously not feasible to copy them.
Xiaoyu was the president of Union Bank for a while.
Although her daily job is only a silver coin cashier, she has to deal with grassroots personnel from all walks of life, including players, every day.
Coupled with her sensitivity to numbers and her talent in mathematics, she has the most intuitive feeling for the economic operation mode of the alliance, but she lacks the relevant knowledge to match it.
The purpose of Chu Guang sending her to study at Camp 101 is not only to make up for her lack of professional knowledge, but also to hope that she can combine the actual situation of the alliance and cooperate with the researchers of Camp 101 to better complete this work.
Later, it was estimated that the technical content of the project was too low, so Professor Iwen handed this work to his student Pai.
On the one hand, Pai has high attainments in programming, electronics and mechanics, and on the other hand, she has a good relationship with Xiaoyu.
And the efficiency of the cooperation between the two was as expected by Ai Wen, and it did achieve good results.
“…Not bad! Basically, there is not much to be changed. I will hand over the maintenance and update of the trading system to Xiaoqi to manage, thank you for your hard work!”
Light stroke with index finger.
Chu Guang, who turned off the holographic screen, looked at the two sitting across from the sofa, but saw Xiaoyu staring at Pai and sulking, and couldn’t help but froze for a moment.
“What happen to you guys?”
“Well…it’s my fault,” Pai glanced at Chu Guang with a guilty conscience, and took the initiative to admit his mistake, “I told Xiaoyu before that I would give it to you as a gift when you came back from the front line, but I didn’t tell her that it was you, please. I made it.”
Hearing her explanation, Xiaoyu’s brows tightened.
“Isn’t the point that you lied to me for half a year!”
“Woooo…” Unexpectedly, his apology had the opposite effect, Pai shrank back, and the whole person became smaller.
Seeing Pa Yi wincing, Chu Guang couldn’t help but laugh. Although he knew that it was not good to gloat at this time, but he had been in the wasteland for so long, it was probably the first time he was mediating such a simple contradiction.
Of course, this is not a trivial matter that can be perfunctory.
Xiaoyu’s character is very similar to her second brother Yu Hu. A good way to say it is pure and serious, and a bad way to say it is stubborn and self-righteous. Sometimes it’s stubborn like a donkey and can’t pull it back.
With such a character, she is easy to trust others, but she will be very hurt if she is deceived, even if it is just a white lie.
“Pay.”
“Huh?” Hearing Chu Guang calling his name, Pai, not knowing what to do, looked up at him carefully.
“You are a very smart girl. Although you are not a resident of the refuge, your talent is not lost to anyone here, or even better than that. Otherwise, Dr. Method will not call you a genius and send precious chips to you. Here you are. If you ask me to evaluate, your talent in any settlement is enough to make people there admire you.”
Looking at Pai, who was stunned and couldn’t help but cocked the corners of his mouth, Chu Guang took a deep breath and continued patiently.
“But I don’t think you did the right thing.”
“Why…” The corners of his mouth fell, and Pai whispered with aggrieved eyes, “I just… see that she is so eager to become a very powerful person, so I want to help her, you don’t want her to help you as soon as possible. ?”
Chu Guang looked at her seriously.
“I believe you attach great importance to Xiaoyu, you also care about your friendship with her, and you want to stimulate her potential, but we can’t completely ignore the means to achieve the end because as long as the result is correct and the original intention is good… In fact, it is better than making up A fact that does not exist, you can communicate with her well, right? If you regard her as a friend, not a follower, or an accessory.”
Genius of course has the capital of pride, but if you don’t pay attention, pride can easily turn into arrogance. The trouble with most shelters is not being unprepared, but the arrogant belief that as long as the unwise people just listen to themselves, everything will be fine.
If Pai was a little more mature, he would tell her more specific experiences on behalf of Dr. Method.
For example, selectively keeping part of the truth is always more euphemistic than lying. Even if you have to lie, you must add some promises that can be fulfilled.
But these experiences were too early for her.
“I don’t! I have never regarded the little fish as my accessory!”
Finally realized where his problem was, Pai looked at Xiaoyu, lowered his head and said sincerely, “I was wrong, I’m sorry… I shouldn’t hide it from you.”
This time Xiaoyu finally stretched his brows a little.
Although her character is a little stubborn, she is not the kind that is unreasonable.
She could feel that Pai was not deceiving herself with malice.
In fact, she also regretted being so angry just now. At least the other party is thinking of himself, and perhaps he should express his unhappiness in a more gentle way.
Chu Guang looked at Xiaoyu and said softly.
“Can you forgive her? She has since apologized.”
“Yes, but… you can’t lie to me next time.” He said in a low voice, Xiaoyu walked down the steps given by Chu Guang, and looked away aggressively from Pai’s face.
“Well, I promise!” Pai immediately raised his little hand and nodded vigorously.
Looking at his partner’s sincere gaze, Xiaoyu’s face flushed slightly, and he nodded lightly.
“Then… I forgive you.”
Seeing the two reunited, Chu Guang couldn’t help but smile.
Sitting on the desk, Xiao Qi covered his mouth and snickered twice, whispering in his ear through his earphones.
“As expected of the master, he is very good at coaxing people!”
Chu Guang smiled and whispered in Mandarin.
“I’m not afraid of your jokes. When I didn’t graduate, I actually wanted to be a teacher.”
Although he is not a teacher major, he is good in science and science. He has been a tutor when he is part-time. Both students and parents like him very much. One girl even vowed to apply for his school, although the grades of Jiangcheng University were too high. Gao, unfortunately, did not pass the exam.
Before graduating, he thought about whether to take a teaching qualification and become a math teacher or a physics teacher in the future.
Xiaoqi paused for a while and looked at him in surprise.
“Eh…? But didn’t you say Master, you were a salesman before?”
“Yeah,” Chu Guang smiled lightly, “So you see, what you want to do and what you are doing are actually two completely different things. Humans are such contradictory animals, and it is difficult to think with programs. understand.”
Xiaoqi tilted his head.
“I don’t think it’s difficult to understand.”
“Really? Maybe you know me best.”
replied casually, Chu Guang looked at the hard drive in his hand, and the corner of his mouth gradually turned into a smile.
The last block has been hooked up.
It depends on how the other party responds.
Xiaoqi blinked, staring at Chu Guang intently.
Although it doesn’t know what the owner intends to do, but intuition tells it that many people may have bad luck…
…
On the first day of the celebration, the most lively place in Dawn City, apart from the road from North Street to Triumph Square, was probably the Resident Registration Office of the Guards.
On the second day of the celebration, the Resident Registration Office of the Union Guards submitted a report to Chu Guang through the office system.
As of the end of get off work, the Civil Registration Office has registered a total of 2,711 new residents.
This is probably the highest peak in recent times!
Among them, 1,201 people applied for settlement as refugees.
Most of them have no money and no special skills. Some are interested in the prosperity of the alliance, some are attracted by the culture of the alliance, and some simply have a fever and decide to end their wandering life and use this place as a wasteland. last stop.
According to the coalition’s consistent practice, residents who settle as refugees will first obtain the status of “supervisors”, enjoy limited residency rights, and accept resettlement in refugee homes. Refugee homes will provide them with free dormitories and food, require them to participate in labor and study arranged courses, and transfer their status to general residents within a period of not more than six months.
For them, a refugee home is more akin to a school.
And the remaining 1510 people are mainly residents of Boulder City. Some of them are engineers, and some of them are ordinary workers. They have lived in the alliance for a long time because of their work. They have savings and work skills, but they have been procrastinating without going through the formalities.
and the reason why they made up their minds to complete the formalities was largely because of Chu Guang’s speech at the Triumph Square.
no way.
He gave too much.
In the wasteland, living is not easy enough, and people usually don’t expect a lot. They don’t care who is the right legion, enterprise, or college, and whoever can keep them from starving and freezing, they are willing to regard whoever is a **** or a savior.
No one has ever been like that man, willing to stand in the perspective of these ordinary survivors and put themselves in their shoes.
And so much to consider.
Especially Chu Guang mentioned that many benefits of the future alliance will be linked to the status of residents, and only residents of the alliance can hold real estate as individuals. Since it has been decided to settle here, it is naturally better to apply for the permit early.
The most unexpected thing for Chu Guang—even unexpectedly, is that several residents of Ideal City have also applied for resident status!
It is obviously impossible for them to be attracted by the welfare of the alliance. After all, no matter how good the welfare here is, it cannot be compared to the ideal city, and it can even be said to be far worse.
However, the Resident Registration Office did not issue them a resident card.
Although the threshold for the Union to obtain resident status is low, it does not mean that there are no thresholds.
According to the current regulations, anyone can apply for resident status, but through the application, they need to work in a company or unit with relevant qualifications for more than six months, or in an officially operated non-profit organization for six months.
The investment settlement plan will be more strict, with specific requirements on the number of employees, business scale, industry type and business time. It is better to open a company to obtain relevant qualifications for employment, or accept resettlement as a refugee.
The first time they came back to the alliance, they obviously did not meet these conditions.
But two of the lads did not give up.
According to the report of the person in charge of the resident registration office, they became more enthusiastic after being rejected, and said they planned to apply for a job as a teacher in the refugee home, teaching the wastelanders there literacy and numeracy, and using actions to prove that they were not troublemakers for fun.
To be honest, whether it was the person in charge of the Resident Registration Office who reported this matter or Chu Guang who had listened to the report, they all felt that the two young men were just joking, and maybe they would be annoyed by life in the wasteland within two days. .
But it does not rule out the possibility of 1 in 1,000. They may be really moved by the story of the Trailblazer, inspired by the speech at the Arc de Triomphe and the social thinking of the Alliance, and want to help the people here to do something.
Anyway, this is a good start.
There are three days of holiday in total, but that is for the general residents.
The next day, Chu Guang spent almost all of his busy affairs and piles of reports, for which Boss Xia complained fiercely.
But Chu Guang didn’t care.
I’m a little tired now, but also to relax a little later.
Some things are like the road in “City Skylines”, if you don’t plan it out at the beginning, it will only become more and more troublesome in the future.
The third day of the celebration.
Chuguang convened a working meeting with the senior management of various departments, focusing on reviewing the industrial transformation plan submitted by the Ministry of Industry and a series of policy budgets.
The core theme of the entire conference is to shift some of the heavy industry and military production capacity to light industry.
Especially before the war, the alliance had no time to develop itself, so the industry that was handed over to Boulder City to do it now has to be done slowly.
It is best to pick the ready-made fruit from the neighbor’s house.
As early as in the previous closed-door meeting, Chu Guang had already hinted to the financial department that the next economic policy of the alliance would impact the mainstream currency status of chips.
Then all the assets held by the alliance that are priced in chips, whether they are fixed assets or non-fixed assets, must be treated as potential non-performing assets and cleaned up in a planned way.
Otherwise, his plan to cut leeks would have become a seven-wound fist, and one punch would knock someone to death, and he would only hang himself with one breath.
That is to harm others and not oneself.
The entire meeting was held from morning to afternoon, and even lunch was ordered by Chu Guang himself.
Maybe it was because the lunch he ordered was more fragrant. All the ministers and deputy ministers at the conference table put their utmost enthusiasm into their work, and finally came up with a basic and reliable implementation plan before dusk.
Starting tomorrow, the alliance will fully implement the new working system, and will give certain subsidies to the factories that actively cooperate.
Although finance is the lubricant of industry, Chu Guang is very clear that if you want to hollow out your neighbor’s property, lubricant alone is not enough.
He not only wanted the survivors who chose the alliance to at least live in corn towers, but also ensured that there were enough industries to absorb the continuous influx of people.
Cutting leeks is just one of the means to speed up development.
In the final analysis, “self-improvement” is the best way to solve all problems.
After the meeting.
Chu Guang was thinking about whether to stroll around the street with the tail of the celebration, relax his mind, and admire the results of his joint efforts with the little players. Suddenly, there was good news from Liszt.
On the phone, there was a hint of smugness in his voice.
“Dear Manager, the thing you told me has been done!”
