Chapter 1227: Chapter 702: Wagering the Reputation of the Knight Organization

"Qing Ye, bring this gentleman a glass of whiskey, and also an apple," Qing Chen said, "Mr. Ning, you can finalize the bill and show it to me when it’s ready. Other lawmakers, let’s start drafting the speeches, the online army is still waiting!"

A lawmaker raised his hand and said, "Put maternity leave back on the agenda, even if artificial wombs are used, we cannot deprive women of maternity leave power!"

Qing Chen: "Very good, give an apple!"

Another lawmaker raised his hand: ""

One enticing policy after another emerged, forming a powerful combination. The effectiveness of these policies made lawmakers feel that City No. 10 will become an existence akin to paradise, becoming the most livable city within the Federation.

Qing Chen seemed like someone indifferent to money, crazily offering concessions to attract talent.

Lawmakers couldn’t understand but were greatly shocked.

Based on their initial projections, as long as City No. 10 operated normally, the population influx and real estate sales in the next decade would be enough to provide Qing Chen with money to last a hundred lifetimes.

But instead of selling houses, Qing Chen insisted on implementing affordable rental schemes.

Moreover, Qing Chen didn’t plan to pocket the city’s revenue but instead decided to put it into education, support research and development, and even construct a highway and the Yun Liu Tower between City No. 10 and City No. 18, apart from maintaining military spending and municipal infrastructure costs.

These policies were put online, instantly sparking a heated debate.

Song Niannian posted a short video saying "Welcome everyone to settle in City No. 10," and within two hours, the number of comments exceeded two million, with everyone saying they want to move here...

A strange phenomenon appeared online:

Jindai and Deer Island: Our side has achieved initial victory in the war and plans to impose economic sanctions on Qing’s Family and Li Family!

Qing’s Family and Li Family: Jindai and Deer Island are causing disaster and colluding with overseas forces; this war must be carried on to the end! There’s no possibility of reconciliation!

War correspondent: Both sides have suffered heavy losses.

The exception was City No. 10’s unique stance: Building our beautiful new homeland!

At this time, President Ning Zhiyuan held the newly formulated affordable housing management policy: "Take a look. The greatest advantage of City No. 10 is that nearly three-quarters of the houses are still vacant, even if used as affordable housing, it will bring a huge financial income to City No. 10."

After glancing through the information, Qing Chen said, "The housing data on page 4 and page 36 are inconsistent. Please be more careful when preparing the temporary management plan."

With just a casual remark, the teenager left the political figures staring at each other in surprise. They opened their own copies of the affordable housing temporary management policy and indeed found data conflicts...

A commercial committee official responsible for organizing the data was sweating profusely: "We’ll go back and reorganize it right away."

President Ning Zhiyuan looked at Qing Chen in surprise. Suddenly, he realized that the prominent figure from Qing’s Family before him was not only a legendary figure of formidable combat power but also possessed an incredible intellect.

He began to reflect on Qing Chen’s current strategies and was suddenly alarmed at Qing Chen’s ultimate goal in attracting talent here.

The ambitions are indeed grand!

The President pondered for a moment before saying, "Last night, after going home, I tried to contact two very close friends. One of them is engaged in quantum computing research, and the other in high-energy physics research... I mentioned the matter of increasing lifespan by 21 years to them, and they’re very interested."

Qing Chen’s eyes lit up: "Great, welcome them to City No. 10! But, are they doing it just for the life extension?"

The President explained: "Working in the north is quite oppressive; there is no comfortable research environment, and the military influence is too strong. They don’t like this lifestyle. Besides, they’re quite old; extending lifespan is a pressing matter."

"I see," Qing Chen nodded.

The President thought for a while and said, "The problem is, one of them is now in Deer Island and the other in Jindai, and both are industry leaders with entire teams under them. Deer Island and Jindai won’t let them leave the city, so they likely can’t come."

Qing Chen smiled: "You just need to convince them. I’ll handle the rest. Don’t worry, there’s no one I can’t take."

In the modern warfare history of special forces, 36% of actions have been for secretly extraditing important figures and scientists.

For instance, the extradition of an Iranian nuclear scientist to England in 2019 was a joint operation by the CIA and Mossad special forces.

However, it’s not so troublesome for Qing Chen. Once Ning Zhiyuan confirms their interest, he can start preparations upon returning, and within seven days, he can bring them to City No. 10.

What could be more joyful than undermining Jindai and Deer Island?

Now, Qing Chen has poached two, but more need to be poached in the future.

Qing Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Ning, discuss with the lawmakers. Your network resources within the Federation are second only to the consortiums. You can send messages to research personnel, asking if they’re willing to come here. With the recruitment of three researchers, you can leave the Garrison Camp. Of course, the previous housing can no longer be lived in, but City No. 10 can allocate some decent housing for you. Moreover, your personal belongings can be returned in full. Recruit seven researchers, and other lawmakers can settle directly and receive 21 years of life extension..."
