Chapter 1439: The Ambitious Man’s Game
Facing the world, an individual's power is always limited.
At Lu Ping'an's point, he probably can't grow by himself alone. He also needs "anchor points", "experimental subjects" and even "believers", but it should be different from an ordinary church.
In order to gain the power to interfere with the entire world, and after confirming certain things, he decided to completely reverse the desperate situation of the world, so Lu Ping'an naturally had to increase his investment.
"Welcome everyone. You have come all the way here. We will have someone from our Chamber of Commerce to communicate with you. There is no rush to invest. Let's see the situation first. Once you have made up your mind, we can talk again."
Another group of entrepreneurs they faced were not from the ancient city, and some were not even from Changping Prefecture.
They are the "investors" of many small and medium-sized forces. Some people want to get out of the wall and some want to get in. From an outsider's perspective, Mercury 42 has been occupied by Ms. Lin's people. After learning about its potential, they will naturally seize every opportunity to participate.
Lu Ping'an did not refuse. On the one hand, they were guests from afar, and on the other hand, he really needed these foreign investors.
The ancient city is nominally a second-tier city, but as an industrial city of the old era, in this new era of technological innovation, it relies solely on the development zone, that is, it has some technological accumulation in heavy industry and land navigation (shipbuilding).
Heavy industry is good, large steel products are the foundation of all industries, and various large-scale equipment required for infrastructure are the cornerstone of the country. But the prerequisite is that Lu Ping'an personally takes action to overcome the technological gap between the two worlds and make it highly localized. Whether it is the technical process or the material industry chain, a new system must be created.
Even if Lu Ping'an is safe, even if the cheater has used a cheating device and is ready to use extraordinary means such as "wishing" and "library" to overcome technical difficulties, he is also prepared to fight against technical difficulties for more than half a year.
Heavy industry is the industrial foundation and the cornerstone of the country. Lu Ping'an is confident in handing it over to the local people of the ancient city. However, for light industries related to food, clothing, housing and transportation, Lu Ping'an estimates that the support that the ancient city can provide will be quite limited.
Competitors are never just from the local forces of Mercury 42. The forces of Ms. Lin, the Salin people and even the official investors of the East Country may all enter a new round of internal competition.
"Even if the business fails, the friendship remains. Of course, I still hope that everyone can have a good time here."
Although he said so, in fact, compared with the treatment of enterprises in Gucheng, Lu Ping'an's treatment was obviously much worse.
You can come if you want, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to come. These things can't be rushed. If they really like it, they will invest. If they don't like it, it's useless to say anything.
"There is one thing I can guarantee. This place is probably the safest place in the world."
After repeated consideration, Lu Ping'an still placed the core of his territory in Huacheng in the rear.
When investing for outsiders, the first goal is often to achieve stable returns, or at least to minimize losses. Stable political institutions, a superior investment environment, sufficient human resources, and high-quality market potential are all things that need to be carefully examined.
Lu Ping'an was not in a hurry. He was waiting for them to take a fancy to the land on his side. The conditions he could offer were amazing.
Not to mention the distant past, his connections in the East Country allow "technicians" and "educators" to enter this world through official channels.
The reality is that the East Country's trust in him far exceeds that of any other high-level combat force in this world. This advantage is unique, and he is enjoying various policy preferences and resource allocations.
As for the security of the territory, it is secondary. Without people, there is nothing. Lu Ping'an plans to relocate a large number of Eastern people. These investment companies also need a large number of middle and senior backbone personnel. Although local people can be used, the cost and risk of doing so in the early stage are too high.
And as long as they really choose their own territory, Lu Ping'an is confident that they will be happy here and not want to leave. The generation of a large number of grassroots forces of professionals means that the upper limit of Lu Ping'an's "territory" will be the highest.
Lu Lu has her own way of fighting, and Lu Ping'an also has his own. His ability is an amplifier and an engine that is enough to stir up the world.
"So, our Ancient City University will be established in your territory, Flower City?"
Lu Ping'an was just about to nod. This was indeed a good thing for his territory. The existence of a "university" could solve many urban development problems and even attract more population and external resources.
But in the end, he shook his head.
"We can't let go of the Mingxi Islands. Not only is it the capital of the new country and destined to be the political center, but it is also the focus of our cultural dissemination mission. Giving up there is equivalent to isolating the core political circle of the new country. No matter how the Ancient City University develops, it will only be a local university. It's like you got up early and arrived late."
Now, all industries are waiting to be developed in the Mingxi Islands, and they lack everything. Many world-class universities were originally lecture halls, schools, and even seminars. They just happened to be in the right place at the right time and reaped the dividends of the country's development.
A pig in the wind can basically fly unless it does not commit suicide, and now is the wind.
"I'll give you a letter of introduction. Go find Lulu. She is the president of the newly established National Defense University directly under the military, and is also one of the current education managers in the Kingdom of Dawn."
Lu Ping'an's frankness lifted everyone's spirits. This was a bit beyond everyone's expectations. It was too selfless.
Is he planning to give away his "resources" for nothing?
".She will take care of you. By the way, do you know her? She also went to Earth this time. She is my disciple and also my close ally. I will support her to take the position in the future."
Now, while everyone was shocked at Lu Ping'an's ability to cover the sky with one hand, they also understood that this might be a micro-manipulation of transferring from the left hand to the right hand.
"I suggest that you split into two groups. The main force will be on my side, and on the Mingxi Islands side, just set up the team. Don't worry, I'm not that greedy, and I dare not stand in the way of Dongguo's (cultural communication) event. I can provide full support here, but the Mingxi Islands are in chaos right now, very chaotic, and I'm afraid you'll all die."
No matter how many people come, if local forces are to develop, cultivating local talents is the top priority, which requires time and resources. At least the loyalty of the first batch of teachers and students is higher than their ability, and Lu Ping'an can help in this regard.
"As for the Mingxi Islands, you will have priority. With the help of my disciples, it will not be difficult to build a semi-national comprehensive university. Once the framework is set up, when the situation there is suitable for our development, the talents trained locally can also go there to strengthen our strength."
Lu Ping'an is not playing tricks. He does not consider "cultural communication (assimilation)" to be his top priority. Even if it is just to increase Singapore's recognition of the Eastern people, Lu Ping'an intends to build this aided "foreign university" into the country's first comprehensive university.
As long as this group of talents emerges, they will inevitably become the backbone of the new government. Then, the new government will naturally be pro-Eastern at the middle and lower levels.
"It's because the Mingxi Islands are short of everything right now that we have the opportunity to take a place."
"Okay, I'll arrange a leadership team to go over there and put up the school sign."
Lu Ping'an's honesty and awareness of the overall situation also made everyone feel relieved. If Lu Ping'an really wanted to play the warlord monopoly route wholeheartedly and directly eat up all the aid from the East Country, it seems that others will have no way to deal with it. The most they can do is to report him and reduce the next batch of aid.
What Lu Ping'an is doing now is to put his head there, while the main body uses his resources to develop.
"Yes, nominally that is the main school, and this is the branch school. I will ask Lu Lu to get more confidants and grassroots officers to strengthen your forces and set up the scene. Our goal is to become the number one school in this world!"
What’s the point of making more money or gaining more territory? Maintaining a safe and secure life is the most advanced way to play.
Directly bribe intellectuals? No, no, no, most of the top intellectuals are trained by us, using our textbooks, our writings, and our culture. Aren't they our people from the beginning?
