Chapter 528 Return to Magic City

When the pioneers invaded the earth, the coastal areas were in crisis, so many important coastal cities were forced to move inland.

Among them is the Magic City.

After the pioneers were defeated and the crisis was resolved, the coastal areas had a superior environment and could not be abandoned forever; the widespread application of artificial intelligence and nanorobots enabled coastal cities to be better rebuilt in a short period of time.

Today's Magic City is no less prosperous than it was before.

Of course, due to changes in the overall environment, the importance of the Magic City has been reduced by more than half; the current Magic City can only be said to be a prosperous coastal city and no longer has strategic importance.

Koros Island has two bases on Earth, one is Nublar Island, now home to S.H.I.E.L.D.; the other is Qingluo Bay Manor in Magic City.

Currently, only Si Qing, Man Qing and Dai Xi live in Qingluo Bay; the others are in inland cities and have not moved back, such as Fan Shengmei, Stella and Lin Qing.

Occasionally, Chen Man and Liu Qing would also go to Qingluo Bay to live for a while.

Jiang Shan came down from Koros Island and moved into Qingluo Bay Manor with Samantha, Mike and Xiaomei.

"First, we need to sort out Samantha's identity issues, and then arrange school admission for Mike and Xiaomei." During dinner, Jiang Shan said to Si Qing and the others, "Mike and Xiaomei will probably live here until they reach adulthood."

Si Qing smiled and nodded: "Qingluo Bay is too big and often makes people feel deserted. Having two children adds a bit of liveliness. I like it very much."

Dai Xi said, "Let me handle the identity issues and school admissions. I have nothing to do these days."

Man Qing smiled and said, "I have the most free time. I take them around when I have nothing to do. The aquatic tribe is quite fun."

Speaking of the water tribe, Jiang Shan became slightly interested and asked with a smile, "How are the water tribe doing now?"

Originally, this small tribe of aquatic people fled to Qingluo Bay to settle down because of the invasion of pioneers; later, Jiang Shan found a way for them to become legal citizens of the country.

It’s been two or three years now, right?

"Very good." Man Qing said: "Some of their tribesmen with good strength and some magic skills have joined the 749th Bureau; the rest still live in the bay."

He added: "In the past few years, several water tribes from other places have gradually integrated into the group, and their population size has expanded several times."

Si Qing said: "Manqing runs to the bay whenever he has nothing to do. He is very familiar with them."

Jiang Shan laughed: "That's not bad."

Then he said to Samantha, "Are you satisfied here?"

Samantha shrugged. "How can I say I'm not satisfied with such a big manor? I've heard that the environment here is very good and the society is stable. It will definitely be good for the growth of Mike and his friends."

Then he said, "But I don't want to be idle. I want to find something to do."

Jiang Shan laughed and said, "You can't do the police work here."

Samantha said, "I didn't say I wanted to continue to be a police officer. The rules on both sides are different, and I definitely can't do it."

"Then just find something else to do. Go around with Si Qing and the others first, see what you like to do, and then make a decision."

By the way, besides Mike and Xiaomei, there are two half-grown ones on Koros Island, namely Ashley and Mindy.

These two half-grown ones were sent to S.H.I.E.L.D. and asked Natasha to take care of them. Ashley is the teenage version of Natasha, so it is quite interesting to let Natasha take care of Ashley.

As for Mindy—

——At the invitation of Gisele, the group of vigilantes from New York visited Koros Island; afterwards, most of them used the name of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Jiang Shan was not on the island at that time.

Because Mindy is a girl with very high qualities, Shen Man and others decided to make her a preparatory member of the two-world organization.

Ashley and Mindy, especially Mindy, were not suitable for the conventional education model at all; and Ashley had already finished high school for more than half of her studies and was a poor student, so she was simply handed over to Natasha.

Jiang Shan stayed in the Magic City for a few days, had a good time with Si Qing and the others, and dealt with some other matters.

——These things are mainly concentrated in Giant Capital.

Giant Capital, which was a big name in the financial circle in the past few years, now has only its branch in Hong Kong Island still active, while its domestic branch has come to an end.

Due to the drastic changes in society and the comprehensive application of artificial intelligence and nanorobots, the financial industry has shrunk rapidly. Today, those pure capitalists who play money games are almost finished.

At present, basic industries such as food, clothing, housing and transportation in the country have been separated from the commercial market. To put it bluntly, these industries related to basic people's livelihood, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, have become unprecedentedly abundant and all free due to the comprehensive application of nanorobots.

In other words, people no longer need to spend money for their basic living needs.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

High-end, heavy manufacturing industries are concentrated in a group of state-owned enterprises headed by Shenzhou Industry, while the artificial intelligence network is led by Shenhua Intelligence.

Following this trend, various industries will eventually coalesce and form a monopolistic industry enterprise; one enterprise is the kind that belongs to one industry.

If the capital route is taken, the so-called "end producers" in science fiction will emerge.

So the next step is to make a detailed distribution of these industry enterprises that are about to take shape - so that every citizen will get a share.

The operation of enterprises, especially the work of profit distribution, will be fully handed over to artificial intelligence. It will no longer be distributed by people, but by artificial intelligence in the most fair and rational way to the whole people.

Let’s talk about Giant Capital.

Capital, as a thing, will naturally shrink if it loses its soil. The only viable branch of Giant Capital is its Hong Kong Island branch, because its business is overseas.

Domestic capital has lost its soil, but foreign capital is still rampant. The international financial industry seems to be very active - the world is so chaotic.

The branch in Hong Kong is the sickle that reaps the profits from the international financial market. The money earned will be converted into various material resources and transported back to China.

The reason why Jiang Shan came to Shanghai this time was not only to send Samantha, Mike and Mei down, but also to end Giant Capital's domestic business.

There is no need to continue operating this business in China.

Jiang Shan and Cui Wei met and chatted for a long time while drinking tea.

Cui Wei said: "No one thought that the domestic capital market would lose its soil in just a few years."

"Banks are starting to merge, and there will only be one bank in the future, and its functions will also change to a certain extent."

"Other private financial institutions have collapsed one after another. Our domestic business of Giant Capital has long been stagnant."
