Chapter 1462 Visitors from Hometown
"In fact, we all thought you were trying to get funding and get investment, but we didn't expect you to be serious."
When welcoming guests from afar, their first words made Lu Ping'an a little overwhelmed.
".Actually, you were not mistaken at the beginning."
"Haha, you're joking again."
A year ago, Lu Ping'an's status was not enough to meet the people in front of him. Half a year ago, Lu was just barely qualified to sit at the negotiation table. But now, these senior officials' words were full of respect and admiration.
This is not respect that comes from status, but from a person who has truly fulfilled his promise and created a miracle that outsiders would never dare to imagine.
When Lu Moumou was trying to attract investment, he promised to build a city-state for the Dongguo people on this land, to let the Dongguo people seamlessly integrate into the new country, to let the locals regard the Dongguo culture as the dominant one, and to gradually industrialize and modernize the world.
"Even within our company, we privately evaluated that it would be great if you could achieve 10% of the target. Many people even suspected that you were just trying to cheat people out of it. But within less than a year, most of the promises have either been fulfilled or are on the way to being fulfilled. It's really amazing."
The one who spoke was the task force from Wanjing in the East Country, who, in a sense, was the imperial censor.
“Haha, I didn’t expect that either.”
Lu Ping'an laughed. He really didn't expect that looking back, the pie in the sky he had planned at the beginning had already been completed.
And if Lu Ping'an had not been fulfilling his promises, Dongguo's investment would have stopped long ago.
Only when a project is thriving, not only progressing steadily in the plan list, but also able to truly return profits, can investors honestly pay money.
In fact, there is an assessment within the Dongguo government that if Lu Ping'an can complete the basic "face project", they will make further investments. They do not need to produce results, they just need to have something here and actually do the publicity, which is enough to get the job done.
It is actually very difficult to sow the seeds of Eastern culture in a foreign land. Not to mention the local people's rejection of foreign culture, once there are signs of cultural assimilation, all kinds of extreme reactions will come.
Sometimes, when others oppose you, it’s not because you have done something wrong, but because you are too powerful and a threat to them.
In fact, everyone in this industry has a common concept that the prerequisite for truly spreading culture is to have advantages in military force and economy, and words need the protection of guns.
"The main language of the locals is Dongguo, so we have an inherent advantage in communication."
Since they were from his own country, Lu Ping'an, as an "official middleman", naturally had to accompany them well.
Even though everyone knows that there must be many officials from the East Country among the people who have come and gone in the past, they will continue to evaluate and promote the development of the plan. Now that it has come out, it probably means that it has reached a critical time node.
"These are a group of newly built primary and secondary schools. The textbooks are basically local revised versions of our primary school textbooks in Donggu."
Since they are investors, it is natural to take them to see real projects.
"The cinema is full of movies from the East. The most popular ones are those about love and daily life. People in the East have a great vision of life. However, no one watches those blockbusters, especially monster movies, war movies, and horror movies."
At the entrance of the cinema, there are all kinds of souvenirs, with rough workmanship and crappy materials, but the locals are happy to buy them. In a sense, the "low price and low cost" brought by just the right "inferior quality" is also a kind of gentleness, a high-quality localization.
Of course, the best-selling items are also various books, especially the original works of various movies and TV series.
"The books are all printed here. Since they are originally in the Eastern language, we just need to make a decision. The most time-consuming part is actually selecting the right books and localizing and correcting the content. At least during this period of time, it is better to have more positive influence."
Lu Ping'an picked up a book at random. It was the best-selling book in the bookstore.
He frowned. He wasn't acting, but he really was a little helpless. Some things really can't be gotten rid of.
"Mentor's Theory? Let's buy one too. Can you help me sign it?"
Lu Ping'an, who was holding the book, froze. He was silent for a moment, turned around, and smiled brightly.
"Of course, it's an honor."
This is the benefactor and Party A who has invested, so just satisfy this "small request".
Lu Ping'an signed "Lu Ping'an" one by one with a smile.
What? Who is the mentor? I don't know.
In fact, Lu Ping'an also knew that the mentor's theory was probably too much for the inspectors in front of him. They not only had to study this world and the widely circulated ideas in this world, but also had to study Lu Ping'an as a person.
But since they were supporting Lu Ping'an at this time, he had no reason to embarrass the other party.
After visiting some local propaganda and education industries, Lu Ping'an took them to visit some large local factories and companies, a considerable portion of which were either assets of Dongguo people or Dongguo people held a high stake.
Along the way, the inspectors saw the workers wearing Eastern-style clothes and speaking Eastern dialect, and they all had smiles on their faces, looking like they were in a good mood.
Lu Pingan estimated that this was also part of their achievement, and now they took the initiative to participate here, they must have some ulterior motives.
"The East Country is willing to support the two gods?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Ping'an was shocked by this generous gesture.
But the next moment, he suddenly realized.
God knows how many gods there are on Earth now. The righteous gods have long been inward-looking to an outrageous degree. Sending away some gods is actually a good thing for both sides.
Is this the real business? Is it necessary to send a delegation of dozens of people led by a senior official to inspect? If the two gods come directly, we will not refuse.
"Become the first pilot city for large-scale immigration? Uh, you are not here to take advantage of my 'Non-Danger Professional' ability, are you?"
Well, only one update today, I'm at a family gathering and I'm still hungover.
