Chapter 391 New Address of Qingyun

Before long, Huaxia officials and Qingyun Company jointly issued a statement, admitting that due to the selfishness of some individuals, Qingyun Company had suffered significant losses. Some related personnel had been relieved of their duties and punished, and Huaxia officials had formally apologized to Qingyun Company and its CEO, Lin Yun, who had accepted the apology graciously.

At the same time, inspired by the Qingyun Company's past experiences, a major nationwide cleanup operation was to be implemented, encouraging people from all regions to actively report any wrongdoing.

Finally, Qingyun Company would establish a branch in Immortal Origin County, and their products would no longer be subject to high taxes.

This announcement caused yet another sensation.

Although many were still angry, the rage was significantly less intense.

Several auspicious events occurring at once offset the negative impacts of this event.

Firstly, the cleanup operation pleased the public, who wished for justice to prevail.

Secondly, Qingyun Company drastically decreased the prices of their products. Consumers were delighted at the substantial difference.

Thirdly, the rumor about the video on the internet turned out to be true: a person's strength could indeed reach an incredible level. Qingyun Company was about to launch a game called "Future Wind & Cloud," in which players could learn martial arts and quickly enhance their strength.

Fourthly, once Qingyun Company established its branches domestically, it was likely, as evidenced by their behaviors in India, that they would swiftly construct quality buildings and give them away free of charge to their employees. Many had already been envious of the great environment in Qingyun Building and Fly Cloud Building in India, since videos of these places circulated online earlier.

The housing financial pressure which was a major issue for many in the current era might soon disappear, which seemed a cause of great joy to many.

Upon hearing this news, nearly everyone was celebrating. People had already begun to make arrangements to live in the free houses in Immortal Origin County.

It was as if a ray of light had suddenly shone upon Huaxia. Continue your journey on empire

Of course, there were also those who were unhappy, such as those involved in real estate or selling products similar to those of Qingyun Company; basically, anyone in competition with Qingyun was in a state of dismay.

Fortunately, most businessmen had felt the winds shifting and, coupled with Huaxia's continuous increase in tax on Qingyun's products, had been boycotted by many citizens. They had had time to recover many losses and withdraw.

Despite their significant losses, they were far from left with nothing.

Only a few businessmen, either due to heavy involvement or disbelief, found it challenging to withdraw.

Real estate was where withdrawal was most difficult, since a project could take years. The speedy rise of Qingyun Company, coupled with the rapid global fame of Qingyun Building due to its speedy construction and the rapid fall in house prices, resulted in many real estate companies, reliant on housing prices and loans, collapsing.

Nevertheless, this issue was not incapable of resolution.

Why were house prices high, and why did real estate companies collapse?

Firstly, land prices were high.

Who had benefitted from selling the land? Official coffers swelled.

Secondly, bank interests.

Where did bank interests go? A large portion went to official finances.

Thirdly, bank repayments, debt reminders, and various unexpected expenditures...

The first two factors led to high property cost. Compared to this, construction costs were insignificant. The last point was the final straw that broke the real estate companies.

However, this money did not vanish into thin air. It either ended up in official pockets or those of certain individuals.

This issue was discussed by the middle-aged man and Lin Yun. It was decided that the real estate companies' collapse didn't matter, including previous manufacturers affected by the closure. Officials would not pursue their debts, but they would also not compensate their losses.

All unemployed employees would be taken in by Qingyun Company.

...

Qingyun Company's actions were swift. The day after these events, they moved in Immortal Origin County.

To manufacture a large number of robots for construction and for recruitment and basic management, Lin Yun had already purchased a production line for lower-level robots. Over time, they had populated a large number of such robots.

However, the rapid development in India meant that Lin Yun did not have these robots fully implement building construction.

At this moment, Lin Yun transferred numerous management robots, recruitment robots, and some construction robots to Immortal Origin County. After two months, numerous employees in India were already capable of independent recruitment and management. Thus, there was no need for so many management and recruitment robots anymore.

At the same time, they also alleviated the workload for the staff there.

These management and recruitment robots, once given some building programs, could become construction robots.

Besides this, over the period, Lin Yun produced his robots for personal use, which had the strength of an Innate Martial Artist, and transferred them to Immortal Origin County for construction, once they had been programmed.

Also, he purchased a large number of construction equipment.

Overnight, a building covering 150,000 square meters with over twelve hundred floors was constructed.

Many residents of Immortal Origin County did not sleep that night. Instead, they watched the birth of this miracle.

Everyone was thrilled, constantly calling friends and relatives afar, passionately spreading the news on the internet.

Hearing is not as good as seeing. Regardless of how shocking the news they had heard was, it was incomparable to what they witnessed.

Before seeing this event unfold, many people believed that what they had heard was merely a joke. Now, the reality was before their eyes, the astounding sight left a powerful impression.

A building covering 150,000 square meters with over twelve hundred floors was constructed overnight—what kind of concept was that?

Some people tried to count the floors, but their eyes blurred from the attempt, and they had to recount several times to get the exact number.

Once the building was complete, countless citizens of Immortal Origin County flocked to visit it.

By then, many people had already traveled from abroad to Immortal Origin County.

Add these people to the original residents of Immortal Origin County, and the total figure was just over a million.

The building was significantly larger, nearly two-and-a-half times the size of one in India. It could accommodate more than two million people, meaning there were no issues with the influx of visitors.

The second, third, and fourth buildings were already under construction.

A day later, three new buildings of similar size were finished. These four buildings could accommodate nearly ten million people, and by then, Immortal Origin County's population had increased to over three million.

More than two million people had flooded in within a day.

This was despite the weak surrounding transport network of Immortal Origin County; otherwise, even more people would have come.

Given India's example, it was highly likely that the houses in Qingyun Building would be given away for free. Houses were expensive; many people in Huaxia wouldn't be able to afford one even after decades of hard work. Now, quality houses were being given away for free. How could people not come in droves for it?

The surrounding roads were jam-packed...

Lin Yun had already dispatched some construction robots to broaden the surrounding transport routes, which prevented any accidents from being caused by the congestion.
