The castle lord folded his hands, his expression hidden under the mask. He did not express his opinion easily, but was evaluating the depth of the deal in his mind.
"You have to prove that you have the ability."
The girl with the robotic arm resisted the urge to speak up for Gu Huaiwei.
She didn't want to expose their relationship.
Gu Huaiwei raised her hand and pointed at the presidential suite: "Isn't this room environment enough to prove the strength of the Oasis Hotel?"
Fresh air, radiation-free environment, indeed only people with the same strength as the Upper City can build this hotel.
Not to mention the vast lawns and fountains outside the hotel. The expensive water resources are just spraying decorations here.
The castle lord pondered for a moment, his voice low and oppressive, "The decision of the Lower District to reject homeless people was not made by a single district alone.
The district chiefs of Districts 10, 9, and 7 jointly issued this order.
Uptown has cut off our fresh water supply, factories are shut down, and economic collapse is imminent.
Do you think you can revive the downtown area with food alone?"
Gu Huaiwei's expression remained unchanged, with a hint of a smile: "Whether you believe it or not, I hope the economic situation in the downtown area will improve.
I know that people in the lower city are now out hunting, and those mutated animals and plants can guarantee food supply for a period of time.
However, the winter environment is harsh, and the mortality rate of hunting at this time will be greatly increased.
Food is not everything, but it can solve the immediate problem.
What's more, if this deal goes through, maybe we can talk about other things, like...solving the fresh water problem."
"The lower town is barren..."
Gu Huaiwei leaned back and said, "You have a newly discovered gold mine, so it's not that barren, is it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, even through the mask, Gu Huaiwei could feel the change in the aura around the castle lord.
Gu Huaiwei's black hair draped over her shoulders. She raised her left and right hands simultaneously, gesturing: "Rulers and the ruled actually have a mutually beneficial relationship.
The Lower City lacks resources, is in chaos, and violent incidents occur frequently, but it has been able to survive for so long in the Fallout apocalypse. This shows that a large population is your real wealth.
If everyone dies, can you, a lone commander, really resist the oppression of the Upper City?"
The girl with the robotic arm spoke at the right moment, "Yes, Lord, this young lady is absolutely right. Those people in the upper city are cutting off our fresh water supply, threatening the lives of the civilians. We cannot let them have their way."
Gu Huaiwei pulled her bangs slightly aside, saying, "Because of the gold mine incident, Shangcheng District wanted to raise the price of nutrient solution and fresh water. Since you disagreed, they cut off the supply.
Whether you admit it or not, the people of Upper City don't care about the lives of those in Lower City, including the civilians and you three district heads."
The castle lord fell silent again.
All of Gu Huaiwei's analysis focused on the points he cared about most.
The only thing that made him suspicious was Gu Huaiwei's origins. She was too young and had too many resources in her hands. Even with Karl as a guarantor, he couldn't completely trust her.
"Who are you?"
Gu Huaiwei adjusted her glasses and smiled: "A businessman." Too many people have asked her this question, and she only has this one answer.
This answer obviously did not satisfy the castle lord.
"Did Xiao Youqi make a deal with you?"
"You know him." Gu Huaiwei said.
"Before, he was very popular in the Lower Town." The castle lord paused, "But recently, he disappeared."
No one is seen alive, and no body is seen after death.
District 9 sent people to search the radiation zone, but they did not find Xiao Youqi's body or belongings.
"He's not missing," Gu Huaiwei replied casually. "He was infected by radiation and is now receiving treatment at the Black Helix Research Institute."
The castle lord's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his hands unconsciously clenched: "Are you from the research institute?"
"no."
Gu Huaiwei was tired of this endless temptation.
In business, as long as both parties can benefit, why bother about other things?
Gu Huaiwei didn't care about the castle lord's true face under the protective suit.
As long as they abide by the contract, anyone wearing this protective suit can represent District 10 and talk to her.
As the first step in establishing a cooperative relationship, the castle lord only signed a small deal with Gu Huaiwei on behalf of the Tenth District and the Black Tower Fortress.
As for the escort of the goods, Carl is in charge.
Gu Huaiwei also successfully transferred Xiao Youqi's previous work to Karl.
When the castle lord was leaving, the girl with the mechanical arm secretly told Gu Huaiwei that for Gu Changge's sake, she would speak well of her and keep an eye on the business.
Because of her sister's generosity, Gu Huaiwei is often loved by everyone.
This is the case in the real world.
The same is true in the wasteland world.
When the first batch of loans is collected, the money will be deposited into the park card.
Gu Huaiwei borrowed money from herself interest-free in the name of Oasis Hotel, and then invested the money in the construction of the hotel, and returned it after the high-speed rail station was completed and generated profits.
In this way, Gu Huaiwei solved the problem of insufficient cash flow in the hotel's public account.
The high-speed rail station stops are: Oasis Hotel - Rot Swamp - Rift Ridge Mountains - Fallen Star Harbor - Neon Lair - Black Spiral Research Institute Headquarters - Silver Snowfield.
From the swamp onwards, all are new locations.
Carl is from Midtown.
He told Gu Huaiwei that the Ridge Mountains were located on the ground, rugged and dangerous, consisting of bottomless rift valleys and towering stone peaks. There used to be many gold mines there, but after the gold mines were dug out, they became abandoned land.
At the same time, the Rift Ridge Mountains are also the entrance to the seventh area.
The area from the Riftridge Mountains to Fallen Star Harbor falls under the jurisdiction of Midtown.
Falling Star Harbor is a port located in the Black Sea of Shifting Sands.
If you want to go to the upper town, you need to cross this sea.
Neon Lair is a famous entertainment venue in Uptown, home to Uptown's most famous underground Colosseum.
Slaves, mutants, and vagrants, some willingly and some forced, participate in brutal battles here for the betting and entertainment of the wealthy in the upper city.
Gu Huaiwei already knew about the Black Spiral Research Institute, which was located in District 1 and was one of her sister's industries in this world.
And Carl had never heard of the last Silver Snowfield.
Gu Huaiwei looked at the line with burning eyes.
She had a special feeling.
The transportation lines are like the tentacles of the Oasis Hotel, taking root in the surface of this world, and then constantly multiplying and spreading, expanding the hotel's influence to the entire underground city.
The Oasis Hotel seems to be absorbing the power of this world and then constantly creating in this world.
The four-star hotel has connected the three underground cities that are so far apart.
If upgraded to its ultimate form, the Oasis Hotel's impact on the world will be immeasurable.
Gu Huaiwei's thoughts fell on the construction of Oasis Hotel.
She didn't notice the footsteps approaching in the hall until a warm hand gently placed on her shoulder.
"Ms. Gu."
