After Queric jumped off the bus, he was immediately startled by the scene in front of him.
This was his second time coming to the Falling Rain Valley, but he found that the current Falling Rain Valley was several times more lively than the last time he came to deliver goods from the Sandil Chamber of Commerce.
Not only are the various factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the valley crowded with people and bustling with people, but even the open space opposite the Luoyu Highway outside the valley now has a large stretch of factory workshops.
Quarik glanced over and saw the very familiar logo of the Sandil Chamber of Commerce in these factory workshops.
Thinking that it was precisely because he was unwilling to come to work so far away from Rainfall Valley that he lost his job at Sandil Chamber of Commerce, Quarik couldn't help but regret.
The reason why he was reluctant to come in the first place was not only because he didn't want to be too far away from his parents, but also because he felt that this place was too far from Bangta City, too remote, and it would definitely not be lively or fun.
As a result, when I came here again to take a look, I found that although the excitement here was not as lively as Bangta City for the time being, it was not far behind.
And judging from the flow of people here, it is not unimaginable that it will catch up with Bangta City or even surpass it in terms of liveliness in the future.
Querick knew exactly why this happened.
Because the new city lord deliberately suppressed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took the lead in moving out of Bangta City and vigorously developed the Falling Rain Valley.
And because the city lord introduced the bullshit policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture that was secretly reviled by almost everyone, other chambers of commerce in Bangta City also followed the footsteps of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and moved out of Bangta City.
In Bangta City, driven by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, not only the previous major chambers of commerce flourished, but also hundreds of small and medium-sized chambers of commerce related to magic machinery.
But now there are more than 500 large and small chambers of commerce in Bangta City because of this policy. As a result, more than half of the chambers of commerce have moved out.
Among them, the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce related to magic machinery almost without exception chose to follow the footsteps of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and come to rebuild their factories outside the Falling Rain Valley.
Although theoretically Luoyu Valley still falls within the scope of Bangta City's relationship, according to the situation reported in "Bangta Daily". Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, was recently granted the title of Viscount of the Kingdom by the Kingdom's Noble Council. And to everyone's shock, he was given a territory.
And this territory happens to be the Luoyu Valley and a circle of land outside the valley.
Because this place became Viscount Xu Yi's private territory. Therefore, the policies implemented by Earl Stark have no impact here at all.
In Xu Yi's public statement through Bangta Daily, he clearly welcomed all chambers of commerce related to magic machinery to come to the Falling Rain Valley and work with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to create this new magic industrial base.
Therefore, the small chambers of commerce in the parts processing industry in Bonta City, led by the United Irish Chamber of Commerce, were the first to respond within more than a month. They moved to the open space outside Luoyu Valley one after another.
Among them is the Sandir Chamber of Commerce, where Quarik previously worked.
The sudden relocation naturally brought heavy economic losses to these small chambers of commerce.
However, Xu also announced a compensation measure, which is to reduce the land rental fees for the first five years of the relocated small business associations, so that they can move here with peace of mind and continue to develop here with confidence and boldness.
In the eyes of many people, Xu Yi's approach was simply to snatch away the magic machinery-related chambers of commerce in Bangta City.
But no one thought he went too far. On the contrary, it was very satisfying.
Now the city lord of Bangta City has made it clear that he wants to curb commercial development. Even the big chambers of commerce have been deeply affected, so these small chambers of commerce are naturally more likely to be hurt by this policy. Now that there is this opportunity given by Xu Yi, how can these small chambers of commerce not seize it and quickly join the state? Tacheng has been relocated.
On the contrary, it is those big chambers of commerce because of their big families and big businesses. With deep roots in Bangta City, it is not that easy to relocate.
It has only been about a month since these small chambers of commerce moved here, and they have already resumed normal production, which shows the flexibility advantages of small chambers of commerce.
Following these small chambers of commerce, there are also many businesses related to daily necessities.
In the open space on both sides of Luoyu Highway, a long row of houses has been built, and now shops have been opened.
Judging from the dazzling array of goods piled up among these goods, the prosperity of this place is probably not much worse than Bangta City.
Queric's eyes passed over the factories with the Sandir Chamber of Commerce logo in the distance and the various shops on both sides of the road. He shook his head, suppressed the trace of regret in his heart, and turned around and walked into the Falling Rain Valley.
However, after entering the Rainfall Valley, Quarik was confused.
Compared with the previous time when I came here, Luoyu Valley has changed a lot.
In addition to people, there are several more workshops in the valley at a glance. Even the steelmaking plant that attracted the most attention when Quarik came last time now has an additional one.
The road facilities in the valley are also much better than the last time I came here. In the open spaces on both sides of the roads in the valley, in addition to green lawns, many flowers, plants and trees are also planted, making the entire valley extremely bright. It's so bright that when you look at it, you might even think you're walking into a large garden instead of an industrial area full of factories.
However, the first thing Quarik noticed was that there were iron pillars about three meters high erected every few dozen meters on both sides of the road.
A beautiful magic lamp hangs from the top of these iron pillars, which seems to be used as a street lamp.
Seeing these streetlights on both sides of the road stretching out with no end in sight, Quarik couldn't help but feel emotional again.
If the damn new city lord hadn't deliberately targeted the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and forcibly stopped all the construction projects of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City, every street and alley in Bangta City should have been installed by now. street lights.
But now that it has stopped, the street lighting project is only half-way through. As a result, at night, half of Bangta City will be illuminated by street lights, while the other half will still be plunged into darkness.
And the most worrying thing is in several blocks where street lights have been laid. For some unknown reason, the street lights in one block would not light up at night.
Residents in this neighborhood therefore reported this problem to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's product service center in the city, but were told that because all municipal affairs are the internal affairs of the city lord's government, the city lord's government has explicitly ordered the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not to intervene in them. . Therefore, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot solve this problem. The residents can only respond to the city lord's palace.
However, after the residents sent representatives to report to the City Lord's Mansion, the answer they received was that the City Lord's Mansion would study the issue. Then there is no more.
Regarding this very representative situation, "Bangta Daily" naturally would not let it go and published a special report titled "Bangta City Falls Back into Darkness".
This incident was specifically reported in the article. And it raises a question that worries a lot of people.
Many of the very useful municipal construction projects currently being carried out in Bangta City were proposed by Xu Yi and then co-constructed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has left Bangta City, and has even been ordered by the city lord not to interfere in the political affairs of Bangta City, these street lights that can drive out the darkness in Bangta City at night will eventually go out one by one, and then The entire city of Bangta will be plunged into darkness again.
At the end of the article, the words "falling into darkness" were specially highlighted. As for whether it means something else, that's a matter of opinion...
Quarik didn't think about such far-reaching things. He only knew that after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce left Bangta City. Bangta City, which had prospered at a speed visible to the naked eye in the past two years, is now declining at a speed that is equally visible to the naked eye, or even several times faster.
"This idiot City Lord..." Thinking of this, Quelike cursed fiercely in his heart, then looked around, pulled over a young man wearing the uniform of a worker of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and asked, "Hello, do you know? Where is President Xu now?”
The young man glanced at Quarik in shock: "Who are you? What are you doing with the president?"
"My name is Queric, and I am looking for President Xu to apply for a job." Queric replied: "I heard that your New Flying Chamber of Commerce plans to open a new facility in Bangta City. For this purpose, we need to recruit a few people. Product promoter, so I wanted to try it.”
The young man looked surprised: "Recruiting product promoters? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Queric was startled: "No way, this is what Big Brother Cantona heard from President Xu himself, it shouldn't be wrong, right?"
"You mean President Cantona of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce?" The young man was a little surprised. "Are you familiar with him? If it's him, then it's possible that you might know something from the president."
"Is that true?" Queric immediately asked excitedly: "Then tell me where President Xu is now? I'll go find him and ask him now."
The young man glanced at Queric up and down, and curled his lips disdainfully: "Who do you think you are? You can meet the president whenever you want? Let me tell you, the president is very busy, how can you meet everyone."
Facing the other party's undisguised contempt, Quarik didn't care much. He smiled and said: "Even if I can't meet President Xu, it's not a bad idea to come and meet the person in charge of recruitment. Anyway, I'm just here to apply for a job. As long as I It would be great to be able to achieve this goal.”
The young man was amused by Quaric's optimism and couldn't help laughing: "You are quite tolerant. Well, if you really want to apply for the job, just follow this road to the end and turn left. After walking for a while, you will see the office building of our Chamber of Commerce. If you go inside and ask, someone should be able to help you. As for me, there is nothing I can do."
Quarik laughed and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Okay, thank you for your help. What's your name? Let's make friends."
The young man shook his head: "No, I don't know if we will meet again. In addition, I want to remind you. What time has it been, why do you still want to go to Bangta City to work? If you want to work , there are a lot of chambers of commerce here in Luoyu Valley now recruiting people, why don’t you give it a try?”
"I can't help it. My parents are old, and I only have one son. I can't stay too far away from them." Quarik shrugged.
The smile on the young man's face immediately turned solemn, and he nodded and said: "I didn't expect you to be a filial son. But to be honest, Luoyu Valley is only 60 kilometers away from Bangta City, which is not too far. Now Ferson The bus and carriage from Chemaxong only takes less than four hours. If our Chamber of Commerce’s magic motorcycle is developed, it might only take one hour, and it won’t be far away.”
"Magic motorcycle?" Quarik's eyes lit up. "What is this?"
The young man seemed to suddenly realize that he had said the wrong thing. He smiled awkwardly and quickly covered it up: "I don't know exactly what it is. I just heard it mentioned by other people in the Chamber of Commerce."
Seeing what the young man meant, Quarik stopped asking and said with a smile, "Well, I'll ask President Xu personally after I meet him."
The young man laughed and shook his head, thinking that this guy was very confident.
How could a big shot like the President be met just by asking
However, the next moment, he and Queric were startled by the sound coming from far away. They both looked forward, but were suddenly stunned.
Among the group of people who turned out from a road ahead, the leader was Xu Yi!
