Chapter 680: ng Chao’s Tactical Foresight
He seized the chance of an era and responded to a few ten million normal citizens’ calls, so ng Chao did not face a lot of obstacles when it ca to reconstructing the lair.
Of course, reconstructing the lair was not as easy as demolishing the squatter areas and building pretty skyscrapers.
Instead, he had to activate the stale manpower in the lair and the other slums so that they could be used in the construction of the new areas at the borders of Dragon City and other erging industries.
One, it could make all those of suitable working age earn their own living and even beco rich. Two, it could stimulate the city’s economy and have it enter a positive cycle.
When it ca to this, Broken Star Club and Blue Ho were especially helpful, because they had a lot of dium-sized and small firms at their disposal.
The lair had a lot of manpower, and even if the lair citizens were not used to doing dangerous work, they were willing to work hard and had fought in multiple battles before. They could work while beating up enemies, making them good-quality workers.
Construction in the boundless land around Dragon City must start from zero. The working conditions would definitely not be pleasant, and the work was rather stale and hard.
But to the lair citizens who had lived in suffering for decades, it was still very attractive work.
After ng Chao served as the middlen, the owners of the dium-sized and small firms from the two organizations and the lair’s skilled workers ca to a deal.
In just one short month, the lair sent more than two hundred thousand good-quality workers outside.
There were even more workers of a suitable age who were going through labor training and were ready to lend a hand to Dragon City’s second Great Construction Era.
Aside from its labor force, the lair also had its own capital.
The gangs in the lair, including Golden Tooth, Poison Scorpion, and Black Bone had their own legal, gray industries.
Since the Underground Emperor had already passed away and they wanted to fully rge the lair with Dragon City, then they must listen to ng Chao’s opinions. Many of the gray industries were destined to be unable to last in the long run, and it was ti for them to bring so of their businesses down.
If that were the case, they must use the capital that had been accumulating from the gray industries in new projects and profitable businesses. This was where ng Chao ca into play.
After all, if a ruthless person like Phantom Bear Xiong Wei had reluctantly acknowledged ng Chao as the master of the lair, then it wasn’t because he acknowledged ng Chao’s charisma. Instead, he hoped that ng Chao could help everyone beco rich.
ng Chao knew nothing about business, but he had the foresight that surpassed his generation. He had a general idea as to which industries would be successful for the future decades, and which industries would suffer so many losses that they would not even know what money looked like in the end.
For example, automatic underground exploration and construction machinery projects were really popular right now, and all the investors favored them greatly.
Dragon City seed like it was about to enter the path of using runic symbol machines to explore and mine spirit energy ley lines, create underground cities and forts as well as automatizing all of its facilities.
Once the technology was developed, this would be a really profitable business.
It was just like the driverless cars on Earth. They were floating capital that investors poured their money into.
However, ng Chao knew that once Dragon City was truly connected with the races of the Other World and faced the dwarves who were born with the skill of creating caves, modifying stones, refining tal, and worked hard and at the cost of practically nothing, the expensive and complicated underground exploration and construction machines that had a high cost of maintenance and broke down once every few days were nothing and could not have a stance in the export market.
Dragon City only had a few ten million people. Not all industries could survive on dostic demand alone.
It was an absolute must for them to go for an export-oriented market.
Plus, those accursed dwarves seed to have realized that the underground machines from Earthlings served as a major threat to their ans of inco, so they often dug near the Earthlings’ tunnel boring machines and underground runic symbol machines to destroy them despicably so that they could ruin Earth’s technology.
Aside from the dark elves and a handful of other races, no one could win against the dwarves when it ca to a ga of tag underground.
While the dark elves did not like the dwarves, they disliked the loud Earth machines that could destroy their nests at any mont even more.
As a result, Dragon City could not sell its fully automatized underground machines. The investors who spent their entire fortunes in it suffered major losses without earning anything.
ng Chao would naturally not spend a single penny in this dumpster fire.
Speaking of which, he was pretty rich now.
Among the Underground Emperor’s treasures were quite a number of blank bonds and currency for the black market in the deep web.
They were all carefully prepared by A’Ji so that he could get them without showing his face after he regained his youth.
After ng Chao and Lu Siya patiently convinced him, A’Ji finally admitted while weeping that he was still too young and should not spend this money carelessly. He should let Big Brother Chao and Big Sis Ya help him take care of the money and use it for investnt.
Besides, as the leader of Golden Tooth, ng Chao had great authority over Golden Tooth’s flow of funds.
Superstar had been developing really rapidly over the past two years. Even though it did not have a lot of money for flow funds, it had plenty of investors who were willing to participate in Superstar’s projects.
ng Chao killed a lot of monsters, so he definitely had a lot of funds accumulated.
In fact, quite a number of investors were willing to dump loads of investnt into Superstar’s projects and help him get full leverage over his projects solely because of his potential.
Among them, the investor who trusted him the most was, of course, Lu Siya.
Based on Lu Siya’s words, she had already invested her whole fortune in ng Chao, and she needed to take this path until the end.
ng Chao would definitely not disappoint Lu Siya.
For the sake of Dragon City’s future and to have greater authority, he definitely had to have more than full leverage over certain situations to invest in golden projects, complete the tactical setup of the market, and beco one of the biggest benefactors from Dragon City when it conquered the Other World!
After considering things carefully based on his previous life, ng Chao set up these few projects.
One of them was weapons developnt.
Since they were about to face a colonization war and Other World war, the firearms trade was definitely going to be a profitable market.
Of course, ng Chao did not have the skills nor the capital to venture into high-end weapons developnt, such as projects regarding super armored airships and using Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon to fire nuclear weapons and the likes. He never dread of doing such things either.
ng Chao invested in low-end weapons developnt for individuals such as sabers, automatic guns, grenades, and armor.
Besides, they were even more low-end and cheaper than the low-end products Dragon City had now.
Basically, they were specializing in providing monkey models.
The lair and Leprosy Village had always had the tradition of using illegal workshops to produce special weapons.
Now, the illegal workshops were destroyed, but the skilled workers still remained, and they retained the skills needed to create weapons.
During the process of crushing the super monster horde, humans discovered quite a number of crystals and tal mines at the borders of Dragon City. Of course, most of them were mines with lean ores full of impurities and were not of high quality.
By using the schematics produced during mid 20th century on Earth, the craftsn in the lair, the tals and crystals full of impurities, and the lowest capital to create these weapons, they were basically crude weapons with such ridiculous recoil that their accuracy was practically zero.
These guns could be considered to be modified Other World versions of the AK-47.
In any case, even the militia ford of middle-aged ladies would not consider such rubbish. Yet, ng Chao was really pleased with them because the models that were created fit his criteria perfectly.
The most important thing was, they were cheap.
The second most important thing was that they were durable. Even if they were gnawed by pests, dunked in water, and burned by fire, it would not stop anyone from grabbing them to shoot at soone.
The third most important thing was that they were easy to use and maintain. In fact, so of them needed no maintenance. The users could just pull the trigger and shoot.
The creation process was also very simple. When necessary, the modified Other World version of the AK-47’s production line could move outside Monster Mountain Range and could be created nonstop the mont they found scrap tal.
Indeed, what ng Chao fancied was not just the tiny market in Dragon City.
Instead, it was the entire market in the boundless Other World filled with intelligent races.
Among the Other World’s races, the number of orcs alone were already several tis the number of Dragon Citizens.
To Dragon Citizens, problems such as low shooting accuracy, high recoil, and interference as well as radiation brought by low-quality crystal bullets did not exist on orcs, and even if it did, they did not care.
They were basically the perfect clients.
Of course, ng Chao regarded money as nothing, and he was not thinking about only earning money.
What weighed down on his mind more was how to have Dragon City join the Other World war as the outsider who could balance the situation by manipulating it while having the last laugh.
Based on his previous life’s experience, Dragon City’s fatal weakness was its population.
Casting a few ten million people into the boundless Other World was like spilling salt into a lake. They just did not have enough people.
In his previous life, Dragon City suppressed the Other World with its steel army that used advanced machines and technology.
In the beginning, they advanced boldly and won every battle they encountered.
When they faced the vast number of Other World races, though, they soon sank into the mud and were in a dilemma. During the trench warfares, guerilla warfares, and unrestricted warfares that were forced on them, they wasted the tens upon millions of civilians’ valuable lives.
When Dragon Citizens finally understood what was going on and wanted to find a puppet army, it was already too late.
One, Dragon City’s strength was already largely diminished, and it was not enough to suppress the ambitious Other World locals.
Two, since the Survival Committee was controlled by the ga corporations, they lacked sufficient tactical foresight and judgnt. The puppet armies they supported were all traitorous bastards and would turn to bite the hand that fed them at any mont.
Since he returned from the apocalypse, he definitely wanted to help Dragon City find the right strategy and look for the correct puppet army from the mont it walked out of Monster Mountain Range.
The modified monsters were a pretty decent puppet army.
But monsters only had limited intelligence and could not help Dragon City conquer the Other World.
Based on ng Chao’s previous life, he rembered that so of the intelligent races in the Other World were relatively weak but had a burning hatred for so of the stronger races. Even though their fighting power was not great at the ti being, they had a vast population. Once they were equipped with Earth’s weapons, they could fight at the frontlines for them.
Once he filtered out those ambitious but traitorous races, all that was left were pretty decent puppet armies.
These monkey model weapons were specifically created for the puppet armies.
By selling weapons to other races, they could earn a huge profit and also develop an Earth party among the Other World races. They could help the people whom they supported to beco the leaders of their races, and from there, these races would beco affiliated to Dragon City.
This was killing two birds with one stone, and it was the project that ng Chao prioritized.
