Chapter 6 Bangta City in Darkness

After Quaric jumped from the bus carriage, he was immediately taken aback by the situation in front of him.

This was the second time he came to Rainfall Valley, but he found that the current Rainfall Valley was several times more lively than the last time he delivered goods from the Sandier Chamber of Commerce.

Not only are the factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the valley surging, a bustling scene, but even the open space opposite the Luoyu Highway outside the valley has a large continuous factory workshop.

Quaric glanced over and saw the very familiar logo of the Sandier Chamber of Commerce in these factory workshops.

Thinking that he lost his job at the Sandier Chamber of Commerce because he didn't want to come to work so far from Rainfall Valley, Querick couldn't help but regret it.

The reason why he was reluctant to come was not only because he didn't want to be too far from his parents, but also because he felt that it was too far from Bangta City, too remote, and it was definitely not lively or fun.

As a result, I came here again to take a look, but found that although the liveliness here is not as good as that of Bangta City for the time being, it is not far behind.

And from the perspective of the flow of people here, it is not unimaginable to catch up with Bangta City or even surpass it in terms of liveliness in the future.

Queric knew exactly why this happened.

Because the new city owner 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 launched the bullshit policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture, which 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 the past, driven by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City, not only the previous major chambers of commerce were flourishing, but there were 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, but 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 Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to rebuild factories outside the Falling Rain Valley.

Although in theory, Rainfall Valley still belongs to the relationship between Bangta City, but according to the situation reported in the "Bangta Daily". Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, was named a Viscount of the Kingdom by the Kingdom's Noble Council not long ago. And shocked everyone by giving him a territory.

And this territory happened to be the Falling Rain Valley and a circle of land outside the valley.

Because it became the private domain of Viscount Xu Yi. Therefore, the policies implemented by Earl Stark have no influence here at all.

In Xu Yi's public statement through the "Banta Daily", he clearly welcomes all chambers of commerce related to magic machinery to come to the Falling Rain Valley and jointly create this new magic industrial base with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So the small chambers of commerce in the parts processing industry in Banta City, headed by the United Irish Chamber of Commerce, responded first, within a month or so. One after another, they moved to this open space outside the Falling Rain Valley.

Among them was the Sandier Chamber of Commerce, where Querick previously worked.

The sudden relocation has naturally brought heavy economic losses to these small business associations.

However, Xu also announced a compensation measure, which is to reduce or exempt the land rental fees of these relocated small chambers of commerce for the first five years, so that they can relocate with peace of mind and continue to develop here with confidence.

In the eyes of many people, Xu Yi's approach was purely to snatch away the magic machinery-related chambers of commerce in Bangta City.

But no one thinks he has done too much, on the contrary, it is very pleasing.

Now the city owner of Bangta City has made it clear that business development is to be suppressed. Even those large chambers of commerce are deeply affected, so these small chambers of commerce are naturally more likely to be hurt by this policy. Now that Xu Yi has given this opportunity, how could these small chambers of commerce not seize the opportunity to join the state quickly. Tacheng moved out.

On the contrary, those big chambers of commerce are big because of their big business. With deep roots in Bangta City, it is not so easy to relocate.

Now these small chambers of commerce have only relocated here for about a month, and they have resumed normal production, which shows the flexibility advantage of small chambers of commerce.

Along with these small chambers of commerce, there are also many merchants related to daily necessities.

In the open space on both sides of Luoyu Highway, a long row of houses has been built, and now a store of shops has been opened.

Judging from the dazzling array of commodities accumulated in these commodities, the prosperity of this place is probably not much worse than that of Bangta City.

Queric's gaze swept across the factory with the Sandier Chamber of Commerce logo hanging in the distance and various shops on both sides of the road, shook his head, suppressed the trace of remorse in his heart, and turned around and walked into the Rainfall Valley.

However, after entering Rainfall Valley, Queric was lost.

Compared with the previous visit, a lot has changed in Luoyu Valley.

In addition to the people, there are several more workshops in the valley at a glance, and even the steelmaking plant that was the most eye-catching when Querick came last time has now one more.

The road facilities in the valley are also much improved than the last time I came. In the open space on both sides of the road in the valley, in addition to the green lawns, there are also many flowers and trees planted, which set off the whole valley very brightly. It is beautiful and makes people look at the past, and even think that they have walked into a large garden, rather than into an industrial area with many factories.

However, the first thing Querik noticed was that there were iron pillars about three meters high on both sides of the road every tens of meters.

At the top of these iron pillars hang a beautifully styled magic lamp, which seems to be used as a street lamp.

Seeing that these street lights on both sides of the road stretched out, with no end in sight, Querick couldn't help feeling emotional again.

If it wasn't for the damn new city owner who deliberately targeted the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and forcibly stopped all the construction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City, now every street and alley in Bangta City should have been installed. street lights.

But now that it is stopped, the street light project is only halfway through. The result is that at night, half of the entire Bangta City will be illuminated by the street lights, and the other half will still be plunged into darkness.

And the most worrying ones are in the few blocks where streetlights have been laid. For some unknown reason, the street lights in one block could not be turned on at night.

Residents in this block therefore reported this issue to the product service center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the city, but were told that because all municipal affairs are the internal affairs of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion clearly ordered the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not to intervene. . Therefore, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce cannot solve this problem. Only the residents can respond to the City Lord's Mansion.

However, after the residents sent representatives to respond to the City Lord's Mansion, the answer they got was that the City Lord's Mansion would study this issue. Then there is no more text.

For this very representative situation, "Bonta Daily" naturally will not let it go, and a special report is published, the title is called "Bangta City Falling Back Into Darkness".

In the article, this matter was specifically reported. And it raises questions that a lot of people worry about.

Many very useful municipal engineering constructions in Bangta City are proposed by Xu Yi, and then constructed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Now that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has left Bangta City, and has even been ordered by the city lord not to interfere in Bangta City's government affairs, these street lights that can drive out the darkness in Bangta City at night will only go out one by one, and then The entire Bangta City will be plunged into darkness again.

At the end of the article, the words "falling into the dark" were deliberately highlighted. As for whether it means otherwise, that is a matter of opinion...

Queric didn't think about such far-reaching things, he only knew that after the new flight merchants left Bangta City. The city of Bangta, which had prospered and prospered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye in the past two years, is now rapidly declining at a speed that is equally visible to the naked eye, even several times faster.

"This idiot city owner..." Thinking of this, Querick cursed fiercely in his heart, then looked left and right, pulled a young man in the uniform of a worker from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and asked, "Hello, may I ask you? Do you know where President Xu is now?"

The young man gave Querick a stunned look: "Who are you? What are you doing with the president?"

"My name is Queric, and I'm looking for President Xu to apply for a job." Queric replied, "I heard that your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is planning to open a new facility in Bangta City, and we need to recruit several people for this purpose. Product Promoter, so I wanted to try it out.”

The young man's face was surprised: "Recruiting product promoters? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Querick was stunned: "No way, this is what Brother Cantona heard from President Xu himself. It shouldn't be wrong, right?"

"You mean the Cantona president of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce?" The young man was a little surprised. "Are you familiar with him? If it is him, then it is possible to know something from the president."

"Is that true?" Queric immediately asked excitedly, "Then tell me where President Xu is now? I'll go ask him now."

The young man swept Querick up and down, and pouted his lips disdainfully: "Who do you think you are, you can see Mr. President if you want? Tell you, Mr. President is very busy, how is it possible to meet everyone."

Facing the undisguised contempt of the other party, Queric didn't care much, he smiled and said, "Even if you can't see President Xu, it's not bad to come and meet the person in charge of recruitment. Anyway, I'm just here to apply for a job, as long as It’s good to be able to achieve that.”

Amused by Querick's optimism, the young man couldn't help laughing: "You're quite open. Well, if you really want to apply for a 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, there should be someone who can help you, but as for me, there is nothing I can do."

Querik laughed and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Okay, thank you for your help. What's your name? Let's be friends."

The young man shook his head: "Forget it, I don't know if we will meet again. In addition, I want to remind you. What time is it, why do you still want to go to Bangta City to work? If you want to work , Now there are a lot of chambers of commerce here in Luoyu Valley recruiting people, why don't you try it?"

"No way, my parents are old, and I have only one son, I can't be too far away from them." Querick shrugged.

The smile on the young man's face immediately turned solemn, he nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to be a dutiful son. But to be honest, the Falling Rain Valley is only 60 kilometers away from Bangta City, which is not far. Now Filson It takes less than four hours for a bus and carriage to make a trip. If we wait until the magic locomotive of the Chamber of Commerce is developed, it might only take an hour to make a trip, it will not be far.”

"Magic locomotive?" Querrick's eyes lit up. "What is this?"

The young man seemed to suddenly realize that he had said something wrong, smiled awkwardly, and quickly covered up: "I don't know what it is, but I just mentioned it when other people in the chamber of commerce were chatting."

Seeing what the young man meant, Querick stopped asking and said with a smile, "Okay then, when I see President Xu, I'll ask him for myself."

The young man laughed and shook his head, thinking that this guy is very confident.

How could such a big man as the president be able to meet him?

However, the next moment, he and Querick were startled by the sound from a distance, Qi Qi looked forward, but was stunned.

Among the group of people who turned from a road in front, the one who took the lead was not Xu Yi!
