#163 - Chapter 163 Visiting the Underground Base

There was another reason why he was unwilling to report to the council that Dongfang Chen had the ability to build underground bases. It was that some council members were too arrogant and domineering. If this matter were brought to the council, there was a high probability that it would provoke a conflict between the council and Dongfang Chen.

"Oh well! Let's not mention it for now," Zongzhen Yue agreed.

"At least from the current point of view, Dongfang Chen's existence is a good thing for China. The information he provided has given us time to prepare in advance, and the equipment and medicines he provided have saved the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. As long as he doesn't do evil, let's keep this matter a secret for now," Yan Zhengping said.

Zongzhen Yue nodded.

While the two were chatting, the afternoon meeting began.

Niu Xingwang took the stage and began to explain the relevant matters of setting up branches in various resettlement areas.

Originally, the heads of the resettlement areas were not very interested in this session. However, after the morning meeting, everyone had a new understanding of the convenience that the Chamber of Commerce and the Trade Union could bring to the resettlement areas. This changed everyone's original views. After discussing with each other at noon, they generally believed that it was a great thing for the Chamber of Commerce to set up branches in the resettlement areas.

At this time, Gong Kaiming regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

Originally, all this glory belonged to his Meilin Resettlement Area, but he pushed this opportunity out because he was worried about losing power.

After a complex weighing of the pros and cons, he also figured it out. It was impossible for Niu Xingwang to set up the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce in Meilin and build such an underground base there without gaining real power. But if he gave the position of the top leader to Niu Xingwang, how much would Meilin's development have to do with him?

At least now, Meilin still has the first branch of the Chamber of Commerce, and the power is still in his hands, which is enough.

"Next, I will talk about some of the rigid conditions required for the construction of the Chamber of Commerce branch."

"First, our resettlement area needs to provide at least 10 hectares of construction land for the construction of the office buildings of the Chamber of Commerce and the Trade Union branch. Of course, it is paid. In exchange, we will open an integral account for the resettlement area and transfer the land payment to it. The resettlement area can freely dispose of this integral."

"Second, the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce and the Trade Union needs the resettlement area to arrange a position at the level of deputy commander of the headquarters. In this way, it can improve work efficiency and the closeness of cooperation between the two parties."

"Third, provide convenience for the branch's recruitment work."

"Fourth, the total population of the resettlement area is not less than 100,000 people."

"Everyone can consider it. Those in charge who intend to cooperate can sign a letter of intent after the meeting. We will send people to conduct on-site inspections according to the order of the contract, and the construction of the branch will be implemented as soon as possible after the on-site inspection."

After an hour of discussion and Q\u0026A, everyone basically understood.

Subsequently, the resettlement areas that intended to cooperate went to Gu Qingyi to sign letters of intent.

The number of branches planned to be built in the first batch was 20, and the places were quickly snatched up. Some who were still watching and hesitating began to regret it when they heard that the places were gone.

People are like this. When the pie is placed in front of them, everyone hesitates and worries that it is a trap. After the pie is divided, they begin to regret it.

In short, with the help of the council's east wind, the development of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce has finally successfully entered the fast lane.

Dongfang Chen's task of building underground bases for most resettlement areas within 3 years has the prerequisites for completion.

After the meeting, under the leadership of the staff, everyone began to visit the underground base of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters in an orderly manner.

The narrator focused on introducing the power system, air circulation system, water circulation system, and production warehouse in the base according to the prior training.

As the understanding deepened, everyone unconsciously associated this underground base with the "2055 Human Survival White Paper" promulgated by the council.

However, the plans and technologies announced in the white paper are far from enough compared with the underground base of the Chamber of Commerce, and can even be said to be incomparable.

Everyone along the way regarded themselves as outsiders and regarded this place as a lively scene. But no one dared to imagine that their resettlement area would also build such a base.

Until the visit to the production warehouse.

Unlike when Rong Po came, there were many robots working busily at that time. At this time, the transfer hall was very clean.

"This is the transfer hall of the production warehouse. As you can see, there are dozens of access doors on the left and right sides. These doors lead to different production warehouses. Now, please follow my steps to warehouse No. 1," the narrator said while leading everyone to the door of warehouse No. 1.

The narrator put a temporarily made pass card close to the sensing window of the warehouse No. 1 door, and the data began to be verified on the hatch door. Then, accompanied by a burst of thick mechanical transmission sound, the hatch door slowly opened to both sides. Everyone entered successively under the leadership of the narrator.

"Warehouse No. 1 is a wheat planting warehouse. The planting warehouse is fully enclosed and unattended. The warehouse simulates the most suitable environmental conditions for wheat growth and forms a stable closed ecosystem," the narrator said.
