Although part of the construction of the Friendship City was spent, the Eighth Prince had a thorough understanding of the Friendship City. He knew exactly how much the Friendship City cost, and he could even be accurate to the unit of millions. From the beginning to the present, the City of Friendship has invested about 400 billion, but now it has recovered nearly 200 billion. In other words, the opponent still has at least more than 600 billion to consume!
On the other hand, the eighth prince not only lost his own life in just one year, but also consumed more than 600 billion of the royal family's development funds. Even if such a lot of money is thrown away, it will be a plop. , but when thrown into a free city, it didn’t stir up any sound and was immediately swallowed up.
Moreover, in order to force the other party to give up the Free City, a lot of funds were given to those ninth-level masters. In addition, the funds brought by the eighth prince were used to build Evergreen City. In the past two years, the Gary royal family has spent nearly two Trillions of money!
The Kingdom of Gary is about twice the size of China on Earth and has the same population. However, even for such a large country, it is no joke to lose two trillion yuan.
Especially last year, for the sake of the Free City, half of the royal taxes of the principalities were exempted, which made the royal family's financial situation even more stretched. It was not rich to begin with, and now it is basically impossible to continue to invest.
Now, the Gary royal family still has money in hand, at least 2 trillion yuan can still be transferred out, but the problem now is that even if the eighth prince cuts off his head and takes it back in exchange for money, it is unlikely that he can get it out. You know If they lose the two trillion yuan, then the royal family will have no money!
Now, the Eighth Prince still has about 300 billion in funds, including the development fund originally given to him by the royal family, as well as the income from the past few months. If it continues to be consumed, it can last for a while, but the problem is, this money What to do if it runs out? He has no way to get any more money from the royal family.
While the eighth prince was hesitating, the City of Friendship was already overcrowded. All merchants within a radius of thousands of miles rushed here to sell and purchase various goods. Although there was no transaction tax, there was a large flow of people. It brings a lot of profits!
With the cancellation of taxes, Free City's income plummeted instantly. After a little calculation, the monthly loss is as high as one billion! And this is just the beginning, as time goes by, this loss will continue to increase!
Faced with such a big loss, Hana was very reluctant to give up, but as Hana herself said, if you are unwilling to bend, there is no way to move forward!
However, Hana is Hana. Although losing money has become a foregone conclusion, she is still working hard to reduce the loss. It would be better if she can reduce the loss.
“I never thought that if I don’t do it, I won’t know. Once I do it, there are really too many things that can be done. I will deduct a little here and save a little there, and I can actually sustain a loss of one billion a month.
The first is environmental sanitation and street cleaning. Originally the City of Friendship had a cleaning team of more than 3,000 people, specifically responsible for the city's environmental sanitation. But now, this team has been canceled by Hana, and environmental sanitation has been handed over to Each store is responsible for cleaning the streets around each store. This way, there is no need to maintain a cleaning team of more than 3,000 people.
?The second is the Guard Group! The City of Friendship is so big and there are so many people. It is no longer enough to rely on hundreds of ninth-level masters. At least an armed force of tens of thousands of people must be formed to control the situation.
But after Hana’s reforms, public security was also handed over to merchants, and merchants governed business! Each store must send an expert of level 8 or above to join the joint defense team and be responsible for the security of the city.
Usually, these people are busy in their respective stores. Once something happens, the nearby joint defense team members must arrive at the scene as soon as possible to handle the matter.
With the implementation of this measure, the security of the City of Friendship has improved. No matter where the gangster is committing the crime, once he is discovered, he will be instantly surrounded by masters coming from all directions. Even if the opponent is a tenth-level master, facing hundreds of Thousands of eighth-level masters couldn't resist it.
Next, Hana established a Chamber of Commerce in the City of Friendship, with representatives from merchants from the north and south responsible for coordinating and arranging commercial activities in the city. Whether you want to buy or sell, you can get it resolved in the Chamber of Commerce!
The Chamber of Commerce was established by Hana, and the major merchants became members of the Chamber of Commerce. Although they usually need to do a lot of things for the Chamber of Commerce, the major merchants rushed to join in. Everyone knows that although they have to pay some, they get what they get. , but it is information and opportunity! Now that you have information and opportunities, are you still afraid of running out of money?
With Hana’s series of business initiatives, the news of Free CityIt became less and less, and the losses every month were getting lower and lower. Half a year later, the losses turned into profits! The entire city can operate on its own without any further investment.
So far, the entire free city has become a bit like a city on Earth. Although there is no tax, it can be made up by the rent of each store!
However, although the loss was turned into a win, the profit was very low, which did not meet Hana's requirements. After a month of preparation, Hana reorganized the Friendship City and monopolized the catering and accommodation business. , built a thousand hotels throughout the city. In the free city, other businessmen are not allowed to operate this business.
Thousands of hotels are packed with businessmen traveling from north to south every day. Although accommodation costs are high and food prices are not cheap, this is the city of freedom and a tax-free paradise! As a businessman who has made a lot of money, what does it mean to spend a little money on food and drink?
expensive? What are you afraid of? Don't people live just to eat something good, drink something good, and have a comfortable place to sleep at night, preferably with a beautiful girl in their arms, that would be perfect.
It is indeed expensive, and not ordinary expensive. Whether it is accommodation or meals, the price is more than double that of other cities! Especially the price of drinks is more than three times the price in other cities!
The catering industry has always been profitable. A dish costing ten yuan will definitely cost no more than three yuan! Earning you three times is considered a small amount, but if the City of Friendship doubles the three times, it will be six times.
Especially for drinks, anyone who knows the hotel business knows that restaurants are not allowed to bring their own drinks. Why? To put it bluntlymost of the hotel's profits are on drinks.
But in the catering industry of Free City, the price of drinks is three times that of other cities! Fortunately, the wine here is beautifully packaged, and it feels really good, but in fact, it's just a different packaging, the wine is the same wine, there is no difference, and it is even produced by the same winery.
As a businessman who carries goods and travels around every day, the most important thing is wine. Although not all businessmen can drink it, ninety-nine out of one hundred businessmen have wine barrels! Not only can he drink, but he also loves to drink and cannot live without drinking for a day.
With the opening of thousands of hotels, the profit peak of Liberty City has finally arrived! Each hotel can bring in more than one million yuan in revenue every day, and thousands of hotels can bring in more than one billion yuan! One month’s income is over 20 to 30 billion!
Among the tens of billions of funds, the profit from food is actually very low, only 2 to 3 billion. The other 7 to 8 billion are actually profits from drinks. In Friendship City, drinks are monopolized by Friendship City. , no other collective or individual is allowed to conduct retail business.
After tasting the sweetness, Hana became energetic. Drinks can be monopolized, but other things can also be monopolized? In factthe answer is yes, of course it can be a monopoly!
Businessmen come here not because of how good the City of Friendship is, nor because there are any tricks here, but mainly because it is tax-free! And all the merchants are here. If you don’t come here, you won’t even be able to ship goods! As for who monopolizes the business in the city, it doesn't matter. Whoever wants to monopolize can do whatever they want as long as they don't collect taxes from everyone and let them trade smoothly.
So, after the catering industry, Hana extended her hands to the retail industry, including handicrafts, souvenirs, clothing, shoes and hats, weapons, armorsalmost all the products needed for daily use are sold here!
Although all the people in the city are merchants, merchants do not have everything. A merchant selling clothes may need to buy a knife, and a merchant selling weapons may want to buy a piece of clothing, or some handicrafts and toys to take home as gifts. For children and lovers.
It can be said that the City of Friendship is a key stop for major businessmen. No matter where they come from, they will eventually arrive here. After shipping here, they can buy another batch of goods and then return to the same route. Naturally, they have to take them with them. Bring some gifts back.
You know, the City of Friendship is a core city within a radius of thousands of miles. It is a hub of transactions. As businessmen from all over the country come and go, specialties and handicrafts from all over the country are brought here. Therefore, the retail industry has great potential, Hana proposed. The idea is that as long as you have money, you can buy all the goods within a radius of thousands of miles in the City of Friendship!
After opening up new revenue growth points, Hana lowered the prices in the catering industry. Although they are still much higher than other cities, they have generally returned to normal levels and their income has also dropped, only half of the original level. However, Even so, that’s about 20 billion a month! That’s more than 200 billion a year!
Coupled with the thousands of newly built retail stores of various types, the friendshipA new income point has been added, and the income continues to rise despite the tax exemption.
After the catering industry and retail industry, Hana finally opened up the entertainment industry. After a lonely and lonely journey, everyone is tired and hopes to rest and relax. At this time, the entertainment industry is their first choice!
As a woman, of course Hana will not run entertainment venues that deal with skin and flesh business, and Lu Yi also dislikes her doing this very much. But even if she does not do skin and flesh business, it does not mean that she cannot be in the entertainment industry. You know, in this world But gambling is not prohibited, let alone gambling, and robbery is not prohibited. There are also people who practice specifically to become thieves so that they can rob.
With Hana’s punch, Free City’s income has skyrocketed. Not only is it no longer losing money, its monthly income has more than doubled what it was in its heyday! After monopolizing most of the businesses in the city, it was difficult not to make money. Looking at the prosperous City of Friendship, Lu Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Now, he has finally found a real path to development!

To be honest, I don’t even know what I coded, it’s so confusing
We are now in the process of finishing at full speed. The reason for the delay in ending is mainly because the new book is not fully prepared, so it is delayed a little. I hope everyone will stick to it.
The new book has almost been conceived, the setting has been completed, and the plot has been straightened out. What is missing now is the connection and an opening chapter, which will be completed soon.
