Chapter 1831 Everyone is confused

Ku Mao
A very strange scene is taking place on Hewei Island.
On one side, the fire was raging and flames were raging. The anxious people took basins of sea water to put out the fire.
On the other side, the firefighters from the Overlord country were holding high-pressure water cannons. They worked hard to water the areas where there was no fire in the wealthy areas. They used ultra-high-pressure water cannons to form a line of water cannons, which blocked the spread of the fire and protected the rich people. House of.
Why are the firefighters of Hegemony so different from those of Daxia?
As a firefighter, isn't it your duty to protect people's safety and come with the mission of putting out fires?
Why does Baguo's firefighting charge any service fees for the entire process, such as customers?
In fact, there are quite a lot of tricks here.
As we all know, Hegemony is a highly capitalized country with extremely developed private enterprises, covering almost every field from aerospace, military to people's livelihood.
This private economy also covers public services, overlapping with some functions belonging to the government.
Take firefighting as an example. Hegemony has fire stations under national jurisdiction. The firefighting services provided by such fire stations are free. After all, they are taxpayers' money.
But there is also a private fire station. This type of fire station is an enterprise in itself, and its starting point is profit, rather than simply serving the people.
The firefighters who came to the small town of Hewei Island today were sent by the private fire department.
According to common sense, when citizens of a hegemonic country encounter a fire, their first choice is definitely the official fire department.
They also called the official number.
But why were private firefighters sent?
In fact, it was not that the official fire station did not receive the call, but that after receiving the call, they did not dispatch their own team, but instead forwarded the news to the private fire station.
The reason is that the hegemonic country is vast and sparsely populated, and the residential areas are scattered.There may be only a few hundred people in a town, and the finances simply cannot afford to support a fire brigade.
Therefore, many places can only let private fire stations carry out fire-fighting work.
In a place like the small town of Hewei Island, once a fire breaks out, the official fire station can only answer the call, and then transfer the call to the private fire station to dispatch them to put out the fire.
That's why the weird scene happened now.
There was no fire in the wealthy area, but because they paid a high fire service fee, they had to ensure the safety of the wealthy area first.
As for the people like Alekemu who didn't pay, even if their houses were burned to ashes, they wouldn't pay any attention to them.
And in a certain fire incident in Baguo 16 years later, when many residents' houses were burned down, a certain superstar in Baguo spent hundreds of thousands to have a private fire station protect his house. Li saved the house.
Human lives should be equal in the face of rescue services managed by the state, but in the eyes of the hegemonic private fire bureau, life has become a commodity that can be measured by price. If you have money, you can be safe and worry-free. For money, you can only ask for happiness.
The fire burned all night.
Arakem and the other natives of Hewei Island worked all night, pouring seawater into the fire one after another, but it was only a drop in the bucket.
They just watched their house turn into ashes, and the irony is that the firefighters were in the wealthy area next door, working hard to protect the property of the wealthy people who paid for it.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sun rose as usual.
The golden eyes are in sharp contrast to the completely carbonized and ashes of the town.
The fire did not cause many casualties, but it burned down all the houses of the indigenous people on Hewei Island, leaving them homeless.
At this time, when the private firefighters in Baguo saw that the fire was completely gone, they sent a group text message to the wealthy people who paid the fee: "Fortunately, we lived up to our orders and fought hard all night. We protected the people's property! We won!"
The firefighters then retreated.
The residents of the small town of Hewei were left in pain as they watched helplessly as their homes were burned down.
They don't know where to go.
But at this time, the media and officials did not rush over, but a group of company employees responsible for land acquisition rushed over in a helicopter.
Under the confused gazes of Alekim and others, a middle-aged man in charge of land acquisition stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am the manager of Donald Real Estate Company. We have met before."
Arekim and others were stunned.
Then everyone gathered together and discussed.
"Why are the land collectors here?"
"Now is definitely the best time to acquire land! The houses have been burned to ashes, and they are coming here to take advantage."
"Then... shall we sell it?"
"It's definitely for sale. The house has been burned down, so why are you holding on?"
“You can sell it, but the price must be right!”
"Yes, no matter what, you can't sell it too cheaply."
Some people also imagine that the house burned to ashes can be sold for a big price!
Arekim was elected as a representative by this group of people and was responsible for the negotiations.
He walked up and asked, "How much do you plan to pay?"
The manager smiled, held out two fingers, and said nothing.
Alekim was stunned: "200 million? Isn't it too little?"
"That's right, 200 million is too little!"
“It’s not even enough for us to buy a building in a big city!”
"Just add more, we'll sell it if you add more."
"Yes, add more as much as possible."
Everyone chattered.
The manager shook his head: "You are overthinking. The house has been burned to ashes. How can you give me 200 million?"
Alekem was surprised: "It can't be 20, right? Then you guys are really cheating! We wanted to sell it for 2000 million before!"
"That's right! 20 is not enough!"
"I won't sell it for 20!"
"It has to be at least 100 million, right?"
"This town is a tourist attraction. What do you think about using this little money to acquire land?"
The manager shook his head again: "It's 2."
As soon as this price came out, all the aborigines, including Alekmu, went crazy! !
"What are you kidding?"
"2 million? Where are you sending to the beggars?"
"This little money is not enough for our consumption expenditure for several months! How can we sell it to you?"
"..."
The crowd was excited, filled with indignation, and everyone was spitting!
Alekem also said angrily: "Sir, do you think it is possible to acquire land for 2 yuan? Even in remote towns, right? Are you insulting us with this price?"
The manager's mouth curved, and he said calmly: "Sir, did you misunderstand something? Who said I gave you money?"
As soon as these words came out, the place fell silent.
Everyone was stunned.
Arekem asked doubtfully: "If you didn't give us the money, could it be that we still gave you the money?"
The manager smiled and nodded.
