Chapter 1208: Joining the Trend

The other party was left speechless by the retort—who would go? Damn it, have we all been monopolized by your Big Building people?

White Elephant People are impressive—send one person over and soon you can bring a whole group; after a decade or so you can even change their colors, but in front of Jingmen they get utterly crushed.

You think you're united in business? The people of Jingmen are even more united.

Working for wages? Their advantages are indeed clear, but they can't withstand the fact that Jingmen doesn't hire them.

As for other foreign companies?

Given the Big Building's current manufacturing capacity, who could possibly compete with Jingmen?

You say they use the New Business Model to manufacture via the Big Building?

Sorry, we of Jingmen have been operating here for decades; if you want to do business, you must go through us, and we think you'd better use our people.

The Yang Family has long since locked down all the roads.

These small countries, tightly bound, if they leave the Yang Family, will have to eat dirt.

They have no choice.

Although those present aren't yet under Jingmen's control to that extent.

But under the temptation of the Azure Dragon Securities account, they don't know how long they can hold out!

Especially in comparison with these Union Prefecture Areas, their options are few.

As for going to the Union Prefecture to file a complaint?

Sorry, although these small countries have been incorporated into the Union Prefecture Area, within the Union Prefecture they remain independent states with full voting rights.

Moreover, even with a Big Building, going to the Union Prefecture to sue doesn't guarantee you'll win.

"Yang Lao, although what you said is good, after all it's a large number of different groups of people—how do you guarantee harmony among them and avoid generating more conflict?"

"Moreover, since we're all in the Union Prefecture Area, does that mean everyone can move freely?"

"Then, if everyone wants to go to a nice place, what do we do?"

"For example, I mean, for example, the Big Building is also part of the Union Prefecture Area; I believe that if there were no restrictions, the Big Building would be burst at the seams by people from all over the world."

"For us, we're naturally willing, but for everyone else it might not be so—this would naturally create conflict; how would you resolve it?"

He wants to pierce the emperor's new clothes lie of Yang Qing, to make everyone understand that after joining, their situation won't change much.

Of course, the Azure Dragon Securities account is indeed very attractive.

"What you said is excellent—directly hitting the bullseye."

"This is indeed a very sharp question."

"Ethnic conflicts are also a world‑level problem."

"I'll say I have a solution—you'll definitely not believe it, I don't even believe it myself, and I'm not a deity."

"All we can do is gradually reconcile the differences between the two sides."

"Achieve a consensus on freedom of belief."

"You respect me, I respect you."

"At the same time, the Union Prefecture Area has defined forced belief as a crime."

"Anyone who forces another to believe in something they don't want to believe is committing a crime."

"At the same time, abolish religion's right to interfere in secular affairs."

"Relevant organizations must be supervised and inspected by the Union Prefecture Area."

"Those who violate the Union Prefecture Area's rules and resort to violence will be expelled from the Union Prefecture Area and will not be considered for ten years."

"Belief should not become an obstacle to everyone's pursuit of a better life."

"This problem has many solutions; I won't elaborate further here."

"As for the relocation issue you mentioned, it is indeed a major problem."

"However, it's not unsolvable."

"The Union Prefecture Area will re‑register the resident database."

"Using job demand as the baseline to promote population movement."

"If a person has no livelihood skills at all, then they have no right to relocate."

"You need to undergo retraining; in this regard Vanguard Education will provide some assistance."

"After training, you can choose a job and then go live where you work."

"When you have certain skills and savings, and thus the ability to survive anywhere, your right to free movement will be fully opened."

"Similarly, if you remain long‑term unemployed in one place, with no savings and thus no survival capacity, you will also lose your free‑movement right, and then, based on your specialties, you'll be granted relocation rights to a specific area."

"The Union Prefecture Area does not support idlers, nor does it offer super‑generous welfare; it follows the principle of more work, more pay; less work, less pay; no work, no pay. If you still can't find a job, you'll be sent back to your hometown to continue your previous life."

"We've put in so much effort and invested so much money precisely to let people live better, not to let some become parasites."

"Those who want to reap without labor are outside our protection."

Damn, it's still pretty tight.

Doing it this way actually can solve the problem.

It seems the Yang Family has a whole set of solutions.

As Yang Qing explained in such detail, many people realized that the Yang Family is serious, truly intending to do something.

Many people inwardly accepted Yang Qing's explanation.

Yang Qing's persuasion isn't perfect; it's not a strong‑armed method.

But it's exactly this—neither arrogant nor hesitant, a mix of truth and vagueness—that makes it convincing.

Over the years, too many have fed them empty promises; Yingjiang has been spreading big pies everywhere for years, yet many places end up riddled with holes.

Although Yang Qing's persuasion isn't lofty, it reveals plenty of calculation, yet it's still more convincing than empty promises.

The meeting ultimately fizzled out, and not long after that.

Many places around the world have erupted with calls to join the Union Prefecture area.

Shamen has been bullied terribly for many years; now Yang Qing openly announced recruitment, and they submitted their application without hesitation.

Could it get any worse than now?

The Union Prefecture quickly approved Shamen's application and entrusted the Qian Long Mercenaries with maintaining local peace.

After receiving the commission, Hidden Dragon immediately announced the Union Prefecture's commission to the world, and then incorporated all of Shamen into the defense zone.

Let this place truly become a nail.

With Shamen as an example, places that have been terribly bullied over the years began to successively request to join the Union Prefecture area.

How many years has the Big Cigar been bullied? This year it finally saw a glimmer of hope.

The Faction: Defense Company immediately announced its deployment to Big Cigar and began taking over their army.

Jingmen subsequently launched a full-scale deployment to Big Cigar; Big Cigar, still living as it did in the 1990s, welcomed the arrival of new commerce.

Seeing the Yang Family's strength, more and more small countries ultimately decided to apply to join the Union Prefecture area.

There is a saying that Yang Qing was absolutely right.

They are forgotten; if they do not seize this opportunity, they could very well be eliminated.

Before joining, we didn't know who you were; after joining, we are residents of the Union Prefecture area, possessing a high status.

As the Union Prefecture area grows larger and more and more people join, the respect and treatment they enjoy also increase.
