Chapter 204 The old friend comes(1/2)
Just when the little fat man Wu Bing was about to visit Wu Zhao, the lord of Dingxi City, Wu Zhao was looking at the information in front of him with a frown.
"Application for a new textile factory in Anqingfang, Dingxic City", "Application for a new plastics factory in Anxifang, Dingxic City", "Application for a new high-rise residential building in Qingpingfang, Dingxic City"...
One application after another, all from Utopia.
If Utopia is a new factory in the Dingxicheng Special Economic Zone, it would not be Wu Zhao's turn to approve it. However, the Anqingfang and Anxifang mentioned in these documents are clearly not within the scope of the Dingxicheng Special Economic Zone.
These applications were not just placed on his desk today. In fact, Utopia had submitted the first application as early as last week. At that time, Wu Zhao was extremely angry and thought it was Utopia's provocation against him.
But he knew the seriousness and understood that Wu Guo could not afford to offend Utopia for the time being, so he ignored the application and did not make any reply, pretending that he was still thinking about it.
As a result of Wu Zhao's failure to reply, Utopia's applications arrived on his desk one after another like snowflakes.
He also became more and more angry from the beginning and gradually became numb. Utopia not only submitted the application, but also sent people to ask from time to time whether the previous application had been approved. They planned to start demolishing the house to build a factory.
In fact, Utopia really doesn't mean to be provocative. While they are carrying out their immigration plan, many people who decide to leave Dingxicheng for Utopia will consider selling their properties in Dingxicheng and the land deeds before leaving.
Utopia did not intend to buy these land deeds at first. After all, Dingxi City was a place they would conquer sooner or later. Spending money to buy their own future land now would not be an enemy.
However, as more and more people wanted to sell their houses and land, people in the Utopia Administration Department gradually paid attention to this matter. After several meetings and consultations, Utopia decided to collectively acquire the land titles that were willing to be sold.
And Utopia began to proactively purchase land deeds from residents near Dingxicheng Special Economic Zone. They can choose to get a yuan stone that is much higher than the market price, or they can choose to replace the property in a more central Dingxicheng, or they can choose to buy it after Dingxicheng is completed in the future.

As soon as a deal is concluded, people from Utopia will come over and draw a big word "Demolish" on the wall of the house.
There are no legal provisions in the Wu Kingdom that foreigners cannot purchase real estate in the Wu Kingdom, and there are no legal provisions in the Wu Kingdom that prohibit Utopia from setting up new factories on the land of the Wu Kingdom.
Although Wu State has no relevant laws to protect the real estate and factories held by Utopia, Utopia doesn't care.
Don’t you, Wu Guo, still dare to attack me?
Naturally, Wu Zhao did not dare to do so. He was very cautious and did not start any rash provocations. This was Emperor Wu's strict order before his personal expedition.
"They told you that they are willing to recruit workers with wages far exceeding those of the local area, and are also willing to pay taxes in accordance with the laws of the Wu Kingdom?" Wu Zhao rubbed his eyebrows and asked the subordinate responsible for communicating with the Utopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Xicheng office.
.
"Yes, sir, according to my subordinates' understanding, although the salary is far not as high as the people they promised to immigrate to, it is still much higher than our local people.
It’s not that easy to get a job with a stable income of one yuan stone a month in Dingxi City, and there is no need to join Utopia, nor is it required to be a practitioner..."
The subordinates reported endlessly, which made Wu Zhao feel upset. Just listening to what he said, Wu Zhao could imagine that those stupid people would flock to such conditions.
Then he sighed again, the world is bustling for profit, so how can we blame the people?
Wu Zhao could not think of a reason to reject the Utopia people. Utopia's application was reasonable and in compliance with him. They had land deeds, provided their own funds, and were willing to abide by the laws of Wu State and pay taxes. People working in their factories would also pay taxes to Dingxi City.
His subordinates also think that this is a very beneficial thing. Tax income aside, the factory is under their noses in Dingxicheng. They can arrange people to work in Utopia's newly built factory and steal Utopia's production.
The return of craftsmanship to serve the Kingdom of Wu would also be a great benefit to Dingxicheng.
But Wu Zhao knew very well that when the Utopians threw such a fragrant piece of bait, they must have more intentions than what they gave them.
A burst of rapid footsteps interrupted Wu Zhao's thinking. He looked up and saw that it was his personal guard captain.
"Sir, there is someone outside the city lord's palace asking to see you. The person claims to be the daughter and nephew of Wu Qing, the governor of Longchuan County."
"Wu Qing..." Wu Zhao was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew who Wu Qing was. He had just stepped into the extraordinary world not long ago and was the youngest extraordinary supreme person in the Wu Kingdom. However, he was trapped outside Weining City in Jingguo, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.
But the distance between Beining City, the northernmost gateway of Wu Kingdom, and Dingxi City, the westernmost gateway of Wu Kingdom, is more than ten thousand miles. How could Wu Qing's daughter and nephew appear in Dingxi City?
"Have you verified your identity?" Wu Zhao asked slowly.
"It has been verified that he is indeed a descendant of the royal family and has the seal of Beining City."
Wu Zhao nodded, "Then let them wait for me in the living room."
...
"Momo, happy birthday!"
Pingping and An'an Mao had to lower their heads under the eaves. Wearing "birthday" and "happy" clothes, they sat on Lu Chuan's palm and bowed to Jiang Mo with fists in his hands.
Jiang Mo wore a hooded sweatshirt that is very popular in Utopia today. There are two cute bunny ears on the hat. It looks very playful and cute.
Not only Jiang Mo, Li Qian and Jiang Tao also wore similar styles of sweatshirts. Li Qian’s clothes were the same style as Jiang Mo’s, while Jiang Tao’s was a big tiger. With his stiff expression, he looked fierce.
Cute and fierce.
"Thank you, senior brother~" Jiang Mo saw the two kittens being forced to do business and thought of Jiang Tao who was forced to change into big tiger clothes in the morning. He took the two kittens from Lu Chuan's hand and happily shared them with Li Qian.
.
"Mom, look, my senior brother gave me a gift. The one with the fatter head is called Pingping. It loves to eat. This one is called An'an. It's cute, isn't it?"
"It's very cute, Xiao Lu is very thoughtful." Li Qian smiled and reached out to take An An, "Momo, since you have raised them both, you will have to take care of their lives in the future."
It's not that Li Qian doesn't like cats, she just wants to take this opportunity to educate Jiang Mo on responsibility and care.
"Senior Brother Lu and Boss Thirty have trained them so that they can take care of themselves. Now they can eat, drink and go to the bathroom by themselves. Senior Brother said that when they grow older, they can also develop their ability to do housework.
, Pingping, are you right?"
Ping Ping shook his head crazily. Only ghosts have to learn to do housework. We are cat owners, okay?
"It agreed. In the language system of civets, it is different from ours. Shaking its head means agreeing." Lu Chuan stepped forward and touched Pingping's head, "right, Pingping, you obviously like to do housework."
There was confusion in Pingping's mind. Lu Chuan's dog thief framed this king. Shaking his head meant agreeing, and nodding meant rejecting him. So he ignored Lu Chuan's hand on his head and began to nod unyieldingly.
"Look, it is very smart and has learned the way we humans think. It agreed."
"Meow?!" Pingping opened his eyes and screamed strangely at the right time, seeming to accuse Lu Chuan of distorting its meaning, making Jiang Mo and Li Qian both laugh.
Jiang Mo smiled and patted Lu Chuan and looked at him angrily. The natural way the two interacted made Jiang Tao's eyelids jump. The thought of whether he had overreacted in the past few days was instantly forgotten and his fists hardened.
.
"Let's go, Xiao Huo is still waiting for us in Dingxicheng." Jiang Tao said and pressed the elevator, preparing to leave quickly. He didn't want to see the two people flirting in front of him again.
Today they are going to drive the Yunsuo to Dingxicheng by themselves. Jiang Tao has long learned how to drive the Yunsuo. He bought a standard model before going to Wu Kingdom last time. However, he usually works very close to Utopia, so it’s not much.
Come in handy.
What Jiang Tao didn't expect was that Lu Chuan and Jiang Mo consciously sat in the back seat as soon as they got into the Yunsuo, leaving the co-pilot to Li Qian. He felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
"Brother, can you help me ask Boss Thirty? I want to ask him to give extra lessons to Pingping and An'an. Why can't they both still write? They are not smart at all."
"Okay, I'll ask you about it later."
"Senior brother, look! That's a harvester, right? The book says that November happens to be the season when autumn crops mature. Wow, it's such a vast area. Isn't it all Utopian farmland?"
"Yes, Momo, you learned a lot of new knowledge in school."
"Of course, I just took the first place in the class. Senior brother..."
Jiang Tao listened to his daughter's chirping voice in the back seat, and thought with a sour heart that this stinky girl could talk like this when she sat next to Lu Chuan.
It was obvious that when she was in Wu Kingdom, she would hold his hand and call him dad non-stop, but now sometimes Jiang Mo stayed at home with him on weekends and couldn't say more than a few words a day.
He looked back from Yunsuo's rearview mirror and saw that Yunsuo's two back seats were not connected together. He saw that Jiang Mo was also sitting obediently, keeping a distance from Lu Chuan, but while chirping, his eyes also
He kept looking at Lu Chuan and didn't notice that he was secretly looking at her in the rearview mirror.
My daughter has grown up.
...
Lu Chuan was in a good mood, not just because today was Jiang Mo's birthday and they came to Dingxicheng to play together.
Yesterday was Friday, and it was November 10th. It happened to be the day when Utopia paid wages. Lu Chuan’s rewards for completing the S-level mission in Wu Kingdom and his wages were all settled and sent to his bank card.
In addition to the money in the project plan that Zhang Sanwen mentioned last time, there are also rewards for S-level missions, three times the daily salary, rewards for escorting the caravan back, and the extraordinary Cao Chenjing who captured an unlucky guy from the Wu Kingdom.
Adding up all the miscellaneous rewards, Lu Chuan finally received a total of 3126 honor points.
Yesterday, when he went to the Finance Department to ask if any new immortal bodies had arrived, Lu Chuan always felt that everyone in the Finance Department was paying attention to him. Even the administrator of the exchange office couldn't help but look at Lu Chuan a few more times.
.
The Finance Department has seen many bosses with high contribution points, but this is the first time for everyone to meet someone who can earn more than 3,000 honor points in a month at such a young age. He is a definite future star.
Moreover, Lu Chuan has only been in Utopia for a month or two, and his cultivation level is no higher than the Spiritual Movement Realm. If he stays in Utopia for a few more years, God knows what he can accomplish.
However, there was no immortal body at the exchange office, so Lu Chuan first exchanged some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Zhuguo and Kailing Qiong, which were very helpful for spiritual beast cultivation, and spent more than a hundred honor points.
This part of the honor value belongs to Thirty. He discussed with Thirty and exchanged it for some treasures needed for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.
Lu Chuan also asked Thirty whether he had any necessary treasures that could help it break through to the extraordinary, but Thirty just replied that if Utopia had anything that could help it, Zhang Sanwen would have replaced it for it long ago.
Along with this huge sum of money, there were also an equal amount of Yuan Stones. In addition to the Yuan Stones that Lu Chuan helped the Ministry of Science to divine every day last month, there was another amount of more than 3,000 Yuan Stones.
Ever since Lu Chuan's trip to Wu Kingdom and the Dingxi City Investment Promotion Conference opened his eyes, he has also understood that this number, which he thought was very huge, is just a very ordinary number in this world. A person with a little status in a large sect,
You can easily take out thousands of yuan stones.
But Lu Chuan still felt very happy. After all, this money was earned with his own hard work. Even if Brother Copper Coin had 99% of the credit in it, wouldn't it be that Lu Chuan didn't have 1%?
...
Using the cloud shuttle to get from Utopia to Dingxi City was very fast. Lu Chuan and his party set out early in the morning and arrived at Dingxi City in more than an hour.
Jiang Mo felt very awkward even before she landed in the sky. There were thick masonry walls on the outside of Dingxi City, carved with formation patterns, which made her feel very familiar, very similar to Beining City.
