Receiving the Resource Directory

According to Zhang Aiguo, it was impossible to refuse!

After all, if they could really reject these people, this meeting would not have taken place.

Therefore, he could only think of a way to let N City obtain the greatest benefit.

As the only region accepting these people, he was highly qualified to grab the largest piece of the pie.

Just like that, Zhang Aiguo began his journey.

He started to sweep the board at the meeting!

When contesting the relevant rare minerals, Zhang Aiguo was absolutely ruthless toward other Administrators who wanted to demand more.

One Administrator wanted to rely on his region's resource scarcity to fight for more benefits.

"Administrator Zhang, I wonder if these scarce mineral resources can be shared more with us. Our region does not produce this kind of resource, and our region is famously poor. I wonder if you could allocate a bit more resources to us?"

Zhang Aiguo narrowed his eyes, clearly identifying where this Administrator came from and what his surname was.

"Administrator Wang, if you want more resources, that is fine. As long as these people who want to settle are willing to reside in the region you manage, then I will have no problem at all."

"But the current situation is that all of these people want to stay in N City, which is under my management~"

This Administrator Wang was spoken to by Zhang Aiguo until his face almost turned pale.

In his heart, he thought, 'If I could get those people to reside in my place, I would have already made an effort to pull resources!'

'If I could pull a bit more resources, I would have.'

'N City managed by you, Zhang Aiguo, has so many people wanting to go there, are you already so smug~'

Although this Administrator Wang appeared submissive on the surface, he was extremely resentful in his heart.

However, regarding Zhang Aiguo's response, he couldn't say anything.

After all, what the other party said was the truth; others indeed had the qualification to say those things.

In the end, he could only sit back in his seat with some embarrassment, pretending he had said nothing and knew nothing, waiting to see who the next unlucky person would be.

According to what Administrator Wang usually knew, even the currently displayed ore resources were so massive.

Then, there must be some hidden things that were definitely better.

Therefore, everyone would surely want a piece of these displayed resources.

Now, he had retreated.

However, he wasn't the only one eyeing these resources!

He would just wait to watch the show~

After all... he had been pushed out of the game.

Sure enough, not long after Administrator Wang sat down, the next person stepped forward to test Zhang Aiguo's bottom line.

Of course, this person was slightly better than the previous one, in that he didn't want to catch a white wolf empty-handed.

His intention to get a free ride wasn't as blatant.

As soon as this Administrator spoke, he went straight to the point.

"Administrator Zhang, regarding these scarce mineral resources, can our region use our local specialties to exchange with you?"

Toward this Administrator who didn't want to get a free ride right from the start, Zhang Aiguo did not speak with sarcasm. Instead, he naturally adjusted his tone and asked calmly, "Administrator Liu, what do you want to use for the exchange? What is the specific exchange ratio?"

Once asked about this, this Administrator's expression began to look a bit unnatural, and his words started to drift off-topic.

"Administrator Zhang, can we discuss these detailed matters after the meeting?"

Discussing it later was a condition Zhang Aiguo could never agree to.

After all, in the current meeting, with supervisors above, why should he waste his time after the meeting when they could settle it once and for all right now?

Moreover, if he agreed now, what if this Administrator played tricks later?

It must be known that Zhang Aiguo had witnessed this kind of thing before.

A very close Administrator friend of his had once told him a similar story.

Zhang Aiguo could not allow what happened to his friend to happen to him.

Therefore, Zhang Aiguo sat up straighter, his gaze and tone turning cold.

"Administrator Liu, if there is anything, let's resolve it once and for all right here at this meeting!"

"To avoid... causing unnecessary trouble after the meeting, don't you think?!"

Administrator Liu's face also quickly changed.

"Fine, fine, let's resolve it during the meeting then."

After saying this, Administrator Liu said no more.

He sat in his seat, lowering his head, lost in thought.

However, judging from the atmosphere around him, his mood was clearly not very good.

After all, to the naked eye, the atmospheric pressure around Administrator Liu seemed very low.

Everyone present quieted down for a moment upon seeing the second Administrator clearly defeated.

However, before long, the next Administrator came forward to ask if they could use their resources to exchange for a portion of the scarce mineral resources.

In this meeting, Zhang Aiguo protected the rightful interests of N City.

He also used these rare mineral resources to exchange for a portion of the resources that N City currently needed at this stage.

To Zhang Aiguo, from the moment he began participating in this meeting, he felt it was a Hongmen Banquet.

After all, N City's situation really didn't allow for casually adding more people.

Regarding those who came to reside in N City, Zhang Aiguo subjected them to strict review.

Basically, those who could apply to reside in N City were family members of N City's staff.

Others found it very difficult to obtain residency rights in N City.

Zhang Aiguo would not casually grant N City residency!

However, after accepting these few people this time under unavoidable circumstances, Zhang Aiguo also adjusted his mindset.

What if they were foreigners?

What if they were researchers?

They still had to live in N City, which was under his management.

At worst, after they settled in N City, he would pay closer attention to these staff members.

As their superior, he would monitor them more closely.

These ideas all arose after Zhang Aiguo obtained the true resource directory.

After all, after seeing the real directory, Zhang Aiguo even had the thought of whether he should sell a few more N City residency rights.

Selling residency to a few more people, and their N City would develop tremendously!

These few people were simply too rich!

Minerals, food, energy...

A huge pile of things, and even the Huo Wenzi antidote was in there!

Seeing the Huo Wenzi antidote, Zhang Aiguo was actually a bit shocked in his heart.

Although their N City had also produced an antidote early on, their N City's antidote was only recently manufactured.

But the timing of the antidote provided by these people, was it a bit... too early???

Looking at this timing, Zhang Aiguo calculated in his heart that this time roughly coincided with when the Huo Wenzi were still plundering in Gaoyao Country.

Were these foreigners really that formidable?

To be honest, Zhang Aiguo was a bit skeptical.

Zhang Aiguo pointed at this antidote and asked the person next to him, "Have you tested this antidote? Is it real? Are there any side effects?"

Seeing Zhang Aiguo's immense doubt, the superior staff member smiled amusedly.

"Do you think our government is that foolish? Would we not test it?"

He patted Zhang Aiguo on the shoulder.

"Rest assured! There are no issues with these things."

"I should also congratulate your N City, you've struck it rich!"

Zhang Aiguo looked at his friend, twitched the corner of his mouth, and smiled helplessly while shaking his head.

"You think this is a good thing?"

"Is it not good news? With these resources, your N City can develop well for a period of time. Didn't you say you were lacking things a while ago? Can't these things fill the gap now?"

Zhang Aiguo smiled again, a smile mixed with many emotions, as if there was joy, but also helplessness...

"Brother Qiang, I... sigh~"

"Our N City indeed lacks things, but we don't want to obtain the desired resources in this manner."

"Although, in the eyes of the Administrators of other regions, our N City indeed made a profit."

"Moreover, don't forget, our N City is still a bit special!"

This friend of Zhang Aiguo looked at him, then let out a somewhat helpless sigh.

"Your N City is indeed a bit special!"
