Chapter 1207: Ailao Joins

Only by growing from small to large do you gain a voice and competitiveness; clinging to that little plot of land and doing nothing will keep you from ever turning things around.

Everyone can take a look at the basic infrastructure of the Lianfu District.

Has it seen a great improvement?

Take another look at their lives: since following our primary industry technology promotion, has the food problem been solved?

And medical care: since our basic health promotion, have infectious diseases like AIDS plummeted off a cliff?

With the development of these localities' economies, their educational conditions have also been improving, and many children now attend school.

Can't you see these improvements?

Technology is developing rapidly; if you can't keep up with society's progress, you will be eliminated.

Just like those eliminated in history, you will be eliminated.

If you don't strive for yourselves, in a few decades your future will be little different from that of primitive tribes, becoming a rarity that others gawk at.

Wouldn't it be good to raise yourselves from a small country, a small place forgotten by the world mainstream, to an entity like the Lianfu District that draws global attention?

It not only expands your living space but also brings you more opportunities.

Once you become part of the Lianfu District, even if you wanted to be forgotten, it's impossible, because the Lianfu District must look out for you.

Being behind and developing slowly are not problems; the main thing is not to forget to move forward.

The Lianfu District has no war, no chaos, life is stable; as long as you work hard at life, making a little progress each day and not stopping your steps forward, someday you will catch up with the world's pace.

Yang Qing's persuasive grand scheme is still quite convincing.

As a small country, many of these people have already become numb.

Even if you yourself are doing well, what kind of life ordinary people lead has nothing to do with you.

But as resources are gradually depleted, their benefits are beginning to be threatened.

Income has begun to decrease.

It's hard to squeeze any more benefit out of the savages.

They also need to find a way out.

Joining the Lianfu District? Then they would lose their monopoly on rights; without rights, how would benefits be distributed?

So even though they clearly know Yang Qing's words make sense and might be their country's only opportunity, no one is pandering to him.

Reporters are for the first time beginning to take seriously the concept of the Lianfu District.

As more small countries join, the Lianfu District's voice will necessarily grow larger.

Likewise, the larger the Lianfu District, the more people there are, and the market naturally grows larger.

Previously, the markets of these small countries were very insignificant—tasteless to eat, a pity to discard.

But now, the Yang Family has bundled those insignificant bits together, scaled them up, and value has appeared.

Attractiveness naturally followed.

The Yang Family is very clever; this is obviously a very successful marketing campaign.

Moreover, Yang Qing's words are full of humanitarian concern and are positive.

As for Yang Qing actually annexing these countries, no one is paying too much attention.

Because no one wants to, giving these small countries to them is something they don't even want; it's just superfluous.

For example, if they joined Yingjiang, they'd have to give welfare and also spend money on construction for them; once these people arrive, they'd run around wildly, greatly affecting their lives and easily causing public discontent.

That is very disadvantageous for them.

More importantly, these countries contain a large number of Big Building residents; Yingjiang already has tens of millions of Big Building people, and if we were to take in even more…………

Their complexion might also have to change.

Now some of their districts are already almost independent; they don't want to bring in another group just to make themselves unhappy.

Bike at this moment was also watching Yang Qing's livestream.

After hearing Yang Qing's words, he knew he needed to act.

Now the timing is right; the lord of Haihua City has always ignored me, and waiting longer would be pointless.

Moreover, these past days, if it weren't for Great Wall Security, I might have been done in several times already.

Yingjiang is actively contacting radicals who want to get rid of me.

If I don't soon find a powerful backer, there will be no chance later.

Issuing a global announcement, we Ailao apply to join the Lianfu District.

Attaching no conditions, we hope the guidance team will come soon to guide the work.

Migu, during this time, has also lost confidence.

She thought no one would dare move against her, but when targeting Bike, there was not the slightest intention to avoid her.

She herself has several times almost been mistakenly injured.

She is now even more urgent than Bike; if Bike does not surrender, she will move to take him down and then surrender.

Yang Qing, who was at the venue, immediately received the news that Bike had announced his application to join the Lianfu District.

Those who were thinking up reasons to deny Yang Qing, whose momentum had just begun, were immediately taken down by Yang Qing.

Everyone, I want to tell you a piece of good news.

Lianfu District, adding a new member: Ailao.

Just now, President Bike announced his application to join the Lianfu District, becoming Ailao City of the Lianfu District.

Starting today, Ailao is under the protection of the Faction: Defense Company; the Faction: Defense Company gives everyone half a month's time—those who are unsavory had best leave within this period.

Those who do not leave will be dealt with according to the rules of the Faction: Defense Company.

Coincidentally, Haihua City is under construction and needs a lot of labor.

Made………

The attendees felt that Yang Qing was mocking them.

Someone couldn't suppress the worry in their heart and stood up.

"Yang Qing, does your Yang Family want to annex the world?"

"Who doesn't know that the Faction: Defense Company belongs to the Yang Family?"

"Your Yang Family, through the Jingmen Club, monopolizes these countries' economic rights, and through the Faction: Defense Company, monopolizes their military rights; now adding independence rights, introducing the United Prefecture, establishing the United Prefecture District, and interfering in governance and taxation."

"What is this if not annexation?"

"Besides, you've even set up the Hong Fu Azure Dragon Securities Exchange, luring small countries to join you."

"Others who annex a country still have to wage war, but your Yang Family accomplishes it bloodlessly, relying only on words."

Faced with provocation, Yang Qing remained unhurried, even as the other side exposed all of the Yang Family's plans.

"Don't get excited, and don't be so loud; I'm old, my ears aren't deaf."

"First, I must deny your claim of annexation."

"Because this has nothing to do with our Yang Family."

"What they annexed is the United Prefecture; the body responsible for governing and guiding these places is the Guidance Office under the United Prefecture, not the Yang Family."

"As for the military rights you mentioned, the Faction: Defense Company's main role is defense; they fundamentally lack full military authority, being hired by the United Prefecture to ensure local stability."

"Economic rights? That's even more slander; the United Prefecture District welcomes anyone to invest—why don't you invest? In places where no one invests, we, Jingmen, spare no expense, pouring huge funds to develop and cultivate the market—could that also be wrong?"

"If you're capable, go ahead."
