Chapter 697 [Chapter of the Fatal Game] One Hundred and Forty Six: The Beginning of the Second Half

The ensuing negotiations are still filled with a large number of conflicts of interest, but under the restrictions of live broadcast, both parties have restrained themselves, so on the surface, the ensuing negotiations do not seem to have strong conflicts and the smell of gunpowder is not strong.

For most people watching this live broadcast, what is happening in Yanan City now is a real exercise of social processes that have been run countless times in the simulator. This is the first time that people have compared the seemingly

Extremely shocking knowledge put into practice——

Not only the marchers, but also the House of Representatives, they also used the thinking based on knowledge as ideological weapons to see-saw on the negotiation table.

This is what Chen Yan is most afraid of seeing.

The makers of the rules of the game are knowledgeable and smart, and can be ruthless without regard to morality. This is an important advantage that the marchers do not have.

Under such circumstances, the negotiation quickly reached a point that Chen Yan could not understand:

The House of Representatives proposed some agreements that seemed to be beneficial to both parties, but upon closer inspection, they felt wrong. Chen Yan could not judge them based on his own experience, experience and knowledge, because he was just a small citizen, even if he knew some key

knowledge, and do not understand how to apply that knowledge.

He could only judge the concepts thrown out by the other end of the conversation based on his pitiful little understanding and his worldview that was less "narrow" than the marchers:

For example, Michael Heinrich repeatedly mentioned the standardized leasing and sales of corner buildings in the lower city, the renovation projects after leasing and selling, and the plan to install elevators for corner buildings above 10 floors - this plan was based on the marchers' [improvement]

Solutions proposed for the demands of housing environment.

As one of the many historical problems in Yanan City, the corner buildings in Xiacheng District have always been the most serious and stubborn problem. Most of the corner buildings are unfinished buildings that have not been completely built. They don’t even have doors or windows, and they don’t have supporting facilities such as water, electricity, and heating.

Facilities (due to the dense distribution of corner buildings, the [lighthouse] signals in some parts are extremely poor, and the marchers emphasized this point).

After the people in Xiacheng District seized their own chassis in the corner buildings in a barbaric manner, the living conditions were extremely miserable. Most of the corner buildings had no management and were filthy and disease-ridden. People knew this was wrong, but no one had done it before.

ability to change it.

Now that they finally have the opportunity, the marchers have brought this issue to the negotiation table. Almost all of them live inside the corner buildings and have suffered greatly from it.

In response to this appeal, Michael Heinrich, whose function involves this aspect of management, proposed a complex solution:

The House is responsible for renovating and maintaining the corner building: installing water, electricity, heating and elevators, dividing the community and conducting community management.

But if you want to continue living in it, you must first pay rent and community management fees. According to Michael Heinrich, the corner building was originally a product of the era of large-scale infrastructure construction in Yanan City thirty years ago.

It was built with funding from the House of Representatives. Later, it was unfinished due to complicated reasons, but it was originally an asset of the House of Representatives.

The marchers attacked this statement: The assets of the House of Representatives come from taxes, and the taxes come from most ordinary people in Yanan City. The House of Representatives' behavior of treating the corner building as private property is simply a hooligan act. You just fucking miss him.

Damn you cheating us out of our money.

The two sides quickly reached a stalemate, but with their previous experience and the involvement of the live broadcast, they both restrained themselves and did not get into a tense situation.

In the end, the House of Representatives had to call to find out the truth about the massive mess in the corner building.

What is unexpected is that after a phone call with the party leader, the statements on both sides of the negotiating table were proven to be wrong.

According to Charles:

The corner building issue is one of the most complex issues left over from the history of Yanam City. The key is that the source of funds for the construction of the corner building cannot be traced.

When the Corner Tower was built, the seven city-states of the Northern Federation had not yet become independent, the city of Yanam was still under the full jurisdiction of the empire, and the Yanam City Council did not yet exist, so the source of funds for the construction of the Corner Tower at that time was not what the councilors thought.

The Yharnam Municipal House is not the Yharnam Municipal Taxation as the marchers thought.

According to the party leader, part of the funds used to build the corner building came from the empire, part from the tax revenue of Yanan City, part of it came from the investment of the old aristocrats of Yanan City, and part of it came from the investment of the new aristocracy that emerged after Yanan City entered the industrial age.

Part of it comes from venture capital from new overseas immigrants, and part of it comes from the funds raised by ordinary people in Yanan City in the early years...

The last part, and the largest part, was borrowed from the Reichsbank at that time.

The reason why the source of funds for the construction of corner buildings is so complicated is that [building corner buildings] itself is not a top-down behavior, but a bottom-up behavior - people realize that there is not enough housing, so

Various forces - including ordinary people - gathered some money and built some buildings.

Until the Northern Federation was established overnight twenty years ago, and the Yanam City Council was established. Bad debts caused by excessive borrowing made the then council urgently halt the corner building project - this is the reason why most corner buildings are unfinished.

The fundamental reason is that there is no more money to repair the corner building.

If it still needs to be repaired, it is necessary to continue borrowing money from the Imperial Bank. However, the Imperial Bank at that time had been burned to the ground by the choir. The president and other royal accomplices who were on the wrong side were hanged on the walls of the imperial capital.

Yanam City can no longer borrow money from the Imperial Bank.

Although the people who purchased the off-plan property had receipts, they saw everything happening and knew that it was impossible to continue repairing the corner building.

They also resisted, protesting in front of the newly built Yanan City Council, but because the number of people was too small (those who could afford to build a house were at least small-capital), even with the money that had been painted when building the corner building,

Account receipts are also not recognized.

They were easily dispersed from the House.

The sword of the previous dynasty cannot kill the officials of this dynasty. This is true everywhere.

Some of these desperate individual speculators spent a lot of money on the corner building, which made it impossible for them to go on in life. Some of them couldn't think about it anymore and went to extremes, jumping off the corner building they invested in.

Some people have circled a few rooms or floors in the unfinished corner building they invested in, treating it as their own "territory" and insisting on living there, but most of the results are nothing - not even water or toilet.

There is no way to guarantee that living in such a place is simply torture to oneself.

Later, a large number of overseas immigrants poured into Yanan City, and after the entire Xiacheng District was completely chaotic, only those who were unable to protect their "territory" basically disappeared silently.

Those who have spent a lot of money on the corner building project see the situation clearly and know that this project cannot continue. If they continue to invest money, they will continue to lose money. They can only suffer the dumb losses and move the half-built corner building to that area.

Throw it away and let it go.
