MTL - I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1518 The future of Tiangong City

On the second day of the Space Colony Summit, fireworks were set off over the Martian colony.

This is a special kind of fireworks. The core is not gunpowder, but the holographic projection technology that Future People Group is proud of.

Now, the future group of people has applied the holographic technology to the whole world. The holographic image generation unit is made into a string of spheres that are less than the size of the glass beads. After being shot into the air with electromagnetic high-alarm shots, they are projected according to specific procedures to produce beautiful and gorgeous fireworks. .

For this day, the Martian colony has been rehearsed countless times.

Do not.

To be precise, it should be called Tiangong City now.

Just yesterday, the New National Congress officially passed the application of the Martian colony, and it became the fourth municipality of the new country after the Guanghan City. Hong Zewei, the former Governor of the Martian Colony, was honored to be the mayor of Tiangong City.

Like other municipalities, Tiangong City is loyal to the New Kingdom Constitution, and the mayor is directly appointed by Star Ring Trading. The citizen support rate and municipal performance indicators will serve as the assessment criteria for the mayor's performance, and this means that Tiangong City can no longer be self-reliant as a “bottomless hole”. How to turn losses into profits in the next four years has become the face of Hong Zewei. The biggest problem.

Fortunately, the military expenses of the Star Marines and the expenses of destroying the devils do not need to go to the account of the Municipal Finance Bureau, otherwise they will not be able to stand up for two years and will go bankrupt.

“This is an opportunity and a challenge.”

“Future People Bank has provided us with a low-interest loan of S$50 billion. Although we are not required to turn losses into profits immediately, from now on, our budget is no longer unlimited, and our decision-making will also undergo market-based tests. ""

"I want to hear your opinion."

In the conference hall of Tiangong City, Hong Zewei summoned the leadership team of Tiangong City. Most of these people were the first colonists to arrive at Mars, covering a wide range of industries, with extensive experience in colonial production and management.

The first to speak was the Tiangu City Population Bureau Director Lugani, an Italian from Rome who used to be a construction engineer at the Martian colony. The oxygen and power transmission and distribution system of the colony is his masterpiece.

"Two thousand immigrants will arrive in Tiangong City next month, and now we have only 260 living spaces. Not only the problem of living space, but also water and electricity and oxygen supply, out of space suits and other wearing equipment. These must be resolved as soon as possible."

“Is there any good solution?” asked Hong Zewei.

This issue was considered by Hong Zewei before the start of the meeting.

The city on Mars and the city on Earth are two extremes. It is not the land but the house itself. And not only the problem of the house, but also food, air, fresh water, electricity, these are issues that must be carefully considered.

Before digesting some of the population, how to solve the resettlement problem of these immigrants became the top priority of Tiangong City.

If you want to expand the colonial unit of Tiangong City to accommodate more immigrants, you will need a budget of S$2 billion. This money is not the financial situation of Tiangong City, but must be carefully considered. After all, there are many places to use money. Now every penny must be used in the blade.

“Of course,” Lugani nodded. “In fact, the high-level meaning is very clear, including the low-interest loan of S$50 billion. The Ministry of Space hopes that we can solve the budget problem through the market, instead of blindly producing and completing as before. After the production indicators, I will ask for money."

"The question is still the question of money. Is it for the immigrants to pay for themselves?" Finance Minister Dimit shook his head. "It is estimated that no one can afford it."

"We can open tenders to the outside world and introduce international capital to participate." Lugani said sharply.

Everyone in the room was bright and immediately understood what he meant.

In fact, it is not that the ability is not enough to think of this, including the mayor Hong Zewei himself, many people just have not yet converted their minds. After all, a few days ago they also took the budget of the Ministry of Space. Today, they suddenly became loans to future people's banks. The top executives let them find ways to be self-financing, but now they are still more confused.

“How is a bidding law?” Hong Zewei said, looking at Lugani. “If we want others to repair our house for us, we must at least let them see the prospect of profitability.”

"They will see the profit prospects. We just promise them that the facilities they invest in Tiangong City will enjoy the property rights of permanent houses. A lot of people are willing to pay for their own houses, hire our engineering team, buy Our factory's steel, aluminum alloy, and graphene building materials. So we don't have to pay a penny or even make a profit."

As long as there is a further regulation, the company that is set up in Tiangong City must protect the housing problem of employees. At the same time, the next immigration is the dividing line. Tiangong City will no longer provide free housing for follow-up immigrants. Instead, it will subsidize the rent of apartments for five months during the unemployment period, so that the real estate in Tiangong City will slowly transition to market.

"Is there any problem with the policy?" Dimitt hesitated.

"I can guarantee that there is absolutely no problem at this point!" Lugani nodded and said in a positive tone. "In fact, it can be seen from the space colony summit held in the Star City, the meaning of the high level is already clear. They hope that more people will participate in the development of space resources and accelerate the progress of colonization of outer space, instead of letting us pick the whole beam."

"A lot of people want to devote themselves to the boom in space resource development, but only a very small number of people can give priority to the moon cake."

“And we offer another option for international capital.”

Lugani’s views were endorsed by most Tiangong City Council officials, including Hong Zewei, who has been thinking about how to solve budget problems.

From this moment on, his thinking has changed slightly from the position of the colonial governor to the role of mayor.

Not just housing, but factories.

Tiangong City does not need every steel factory and every mining station to participate in it personally. As the mayor of Tiangong City, he can make a big stroke and put the industrial area on the map. Naturally, countless capitalists will flock. Into, the factories will naturally spring up like mushrooms.

These savvy businessmen will not only try their best to improve the productivity of the factory, but also solve the product sales. Compared with the “public” steel plants in Tiangong City that only manage production targets, these merchants will have stronger subjective initiative for profit, and will balance products and production capacity according to market demand.

Is it profitable to set up a factory here?

The answer is obvious.

The iron ore here is cheaper than sand. The low-gravity environment is also more suitable for industrial production than the earth. Even if it is expensive labor cost, the cost of producing one ton of steel is not one-half of the cost of the steel plant on the earth. With the gradual expansion of production scale, this figure can be even lower.

When the colony on the moon is completed, it will have cheaper chemical materials than the earth.

no doubt.

In the not-too-distant future, it will become the industrial base of the entire solar system!
