Chapter 328: Needle and Wheat Spike 1 (Part 2)
A fresh wheat aroma wafted into her nose. Le Xiao lowered her head and looked at the small bag in her hand. There should be food in it. It was soft to the touch, but the smell really eased her mood instantly, just like the smell she smelled by the wheat field, with a faint smell of soil.
"Thank you, Mr. Larry."
Larry smiled and nodded, looking sharply at the councilors who had already sat down opposite and were whispering to each other.
"Thank you for your hard work at this monthly city meeting. On behalf of the General Affairs Department, I welcome all councilors, members of the Operations Department, businessmen, families, and celebrities. Thank you for attending this meeting. It's almost time now. Let's start the meeting right away!"
Locke said while holding up the light and shadow loudspeaker. He and Michelle bowed in all directions, and then sat back in their chairs. The light and shadow screens lit up in front of everyone instantly.
"Regarding the first proposal, the plan for the launch of the mechanical ball in the market of the 10th Scientific Research Department of District 108 of Brilliant City, the plan is in charge of Ms. Le Xiao, the secretary of Department 13. Time is short, please read the proposal carefully for 10 minutes, and then the hearing stage will begin. Members who need a hearing, please apply within 10 minutes."
A huge light and shadow screen immediately appeared in the air, and then someone applied for the hearing. The first one was Lin Min, a member of the 108th District, the second one was Nicole, a member of the 108th District, the third one was Jin Li, a member of the 111th District, and the fourth one
Le Xiao's mood became nervous for a while. In less than a minute, 15 people applied for a hearing, and they were all women.
The word "horror" steamed in Le Xiao's heart. Larry next to him smiled awkwardly, and then nodded slightly, privately showing a thumbs up, indicating that Le Xiao should cheer up.
Le Xiao quietly looked at the proposal she made, still afraid. After 5 minutes, the number of people was still increasing. They were all women. Le Xiao couldn't understand. They seemed to have discussed it well. Why was there no man?
At this time, Gu Ningning was also cursing in her heart. She knew the other party's strategy very well. After all, men might sympathize with this naive little girl to some extent, but women were different. Moreover, these women were famous mouth gun masters and would definitely force Le Xiao to death. She was more worried that she would be innocently shot. After all, the test site was set up on the street directly opposite the 108th Hospital of Department 4.
Gary Locke had his face tied up. Michelle stared at the eager women opposite with a slightly angry look. The number of people was still increasing. At this time, Gary Locke stood up and bowed respectfully to the six gods in front of him.
"Six Lords, 38 people have applied for the hearing, but considering that there are still many things to be said in the meeting, I hope to reduce the number of people who will be present, and only keep the first 10 people who applied. What do you think?"
"No problem, let's reduce it."
The Orange God said, and Locke nodded. At this time, many members of the parliament also showed some angry expressions. After seeing the other five gods nodded, Locke immediately deleted the application records of 28 people, and then stood up, turned around, and held up the light and shadow microphone.
"Okay, let's officially start the hearing of the first motion. Secretary Le Xiao, please stand in front."
Le Xiao uttered a cry, and her legs were a little weak. Next to Locke, a floating light and shadow circular platform appeared, about 2 square meters. Le Xiao swallowed, and Larry next to her patted Le Xiao on the back. She hurriedly stood up and walked over timidly.
As soon as he stood on the platform, it rose. Lin Min, who was standing opposite him, also stood on the platform. The platform was surrounded by a chair behind him. There were a lot of light and shadow screens that could pop out next to him, and a light and shadow screen opposite him, on which was Le Xiao's plan proposal.
"Mr. Le Xiao, first of all, I want to ask you, have you actually understood the economic situation of District 108?"
Le Xiao blinked and said with some trembling.
"I have understood it. Isn't it written in the plan proposal? Average income"
"Don't tell me about average. The concept of average is just an average quantity, not an exact quantity. Please look here."
While speaking, Lin Min called up a panel with a map of District 108 on it, and a huge chart next to it. The areas in the chart were marked with the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue.
Yellow represents the class with an income of more than 500, which is accurate to the number, with 50,395 people. Blue represents people with a monthly income of more than 300, accounting for 108,594 people. The rest are people with a monthly income of less than 300, accounting for 40,598 people.
Le Xiao looked at the icon that also appeared on the left side in horror. It was very accurate. The digital records she made were all directly obtained from Section 6.
"The economic status of District 108 has been assessed as poor for many years. May I ask, Mr. Le Xiao, why did you choose to implement the plan in District 108?"
"Because I think District 108 is very poor, so I want to promote the economic development of District 108 through this plan."
For a moment, the hospital group opposite was in an uproar. Lin Min smiled sinisterly and slapped his hands on the protruding table at the front of the table, making a dull sound.
"What this bill needs to solve is the problem of mutant people. What needs to be done is to make an accurate horizontal comparison between the economic value generated by the mechanical ball and the economic value generated by mutant people in the area, as well as the derived value of the two, so as to draw the conclusion In conclusion, this has nothing to do with the economic performance of District 108. Mr. Le Xiao, have you considered the implementability of the bill, or are you just out of sentiment? After all, based on the actual situation in District 108, this bill is difficult to implement. , but it will make District 108 fall into even greater poverty. Mr. Le Xiao, please answer my question!”
Lin Min raised his voice, Le Xiao rubbed the small bag with both hands, thought for a few seconds and then said.
"So I compared the economic value of the rental method, and I should be able to conclude that this is a fair approach, and I also communicated with Section 10, and they agreed to develop a mechanical ball that can rent up to 5 yuan a day."
Le Xiao finished what she was thinking with some trembling and breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Min on the opposite side immediately started laughing.
"In order for economic value to change significantly, what is needed is the construction of a gap between supply and demand. It is true that you can open a market in District 108 by using leasing, but have you considered the demand issue? 5 yuan a day, according to my rough estimate Calculate, for carrying heavy objects, a mutant can carry it for 1 to 5 yuan per kilometer. Most mutants carry it for free because they work at merchants. Regular fee-based transportation is more common on construction sites, but there are already many in District 108. There is no large-scale construction in the year, so your supply is unrealistic in District 108, because the demand is almost equal to 0. You can do a lot of things in District 108 with 5 yuan. You can buy 10 cans of liquid food, which is enough for a migrant worker. The meal expenses for 5 consecutive days are enough for a family of three to live for two days, and enough for a store to purchase raw materials that can drive consumption of at least 50 yuan. Let me ask you how much economic growth can be generated by the mechanical ball you put in, and the rent of 5 yuan a day Value, please answer my question, Your Excellency Le Xiao.”
Le Xiao's eyes widened in shock and she looked at Lin Min in disbelief. She actually knew District 108 better than she did.
