Chapter 45 To get rich, build roads first

Valentine.

Located on the east side of the town, in a tall and beautiful mansion.

A thin old man in a suit and ties and white hair sat on the delicate sofa beside the coffee table, held the teacup to his mouth, and took a sip.

Then, he subconsciously reached out and touched the neatly tidy mustache on his mouth, and said lightly in a hoarse voice:

"Young man, I'm very optimistic about you."

Hearing this, Luo Xia, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Since you came to Valentine, Valentine has changed a lot. I see all this."

"Your Roche Company has made great contributions to the employment and public security of the town. As an old man who has lived in this town for thirty years, I feel very pleased to see Valentine getting better and better."

Faced with the old man's appreciation, Rorschach smiled slightly, "Mr. Walter, you are too polite. If it weren't for your help, my company wouldn't have passed the government's tax cut policy so easily."

"It is because Valentine has played a huge role in the size of today."

This kind-hearted old man, named Moses Walter, is Valentine's current mayor.

Thirty years ago, he came to this land with abundant water and grass and laid the first nail.

He has been the mayor of Valentine since then, until now.

It is no exaggeration to say that Valentine was developed brick by brick by brick by brick by tile in front of him!

He reached out and knocked his thigh, and the old mayor Walter showed a bitter smile of unforgiving years:

"I can't accept my old age. I will be sixty next month. My legs and feet are no longer very nimble. Every time it rains, it hurts so much that my old bones can't stand it. It's time to retire and enjoy my old age..."

"Marsha also nagged in my ears all day long, asking me to spend more time with her..."

After a pause, he put the teacup back on the coffee table, and his eyes fell on the young and promising young entrepreneur in front of him:

"I'm asking you here today, just to ask you if you are interested in taking over my position and continuing to contribute to Valentine's development?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Xia finally understood the real purpose of this old mayor!

"You mean, let me run for the next mayor?"

"Yes. If you want, I will support you with all my strength during the campaign."

Ah this?

In the western part of the United States at the end of the 19th century, the legal system was not yet perfect.

It can even be said that the west is the last barbaric land in the entire United States.

However, as a democratic country, many things are decided by democratic voting.

For example, the appointment of town mayors and sheriffs is often voted by residents of towns, and then the results are obtained and implemented with the state government.

The state government basically won't ask.

Say it is a democratic campaign.

However, with Walter's reputation, it's basically just a matter of one sentence.

In other words, as long as Roxa nodded and agreed, he would be the next mayor!

It was precisely when Rorschach thought of this that he was a little surprised.

I just want to open a company, make money, and enjoy the corruption of all evil capitalism.

Now you actually want me to be the mayor and lead Valentine to become bigger and stronger?

Then, will it be a wave of rural areas surrounding the city and set off a red storm in the United States?

It sounds so exciting and troublesome.

Rorschach is a person who is very afraid of trouble and often takes simple measures to deal with complex things.

I wanted to say no, but, after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the position of mayor was quite beneficial.

After becoming the mayor, he officially had an official legal identity and was able to develop Valentine legitimately and make Valentine his own territory!

In many things, he can also give his company more convenience.

Even though it sounds like a very good proposal, Rorschach still resisted the urge to agree immediately and asked:

"Why is it me? I've only been to Valentine for two months..."

It would be fine if I didn't mention it. When I mentioned this, the old mayor looked at Luo Xia with a little more appreciation:

"This is exactly your advantage! You have been recognized by local residents for just two months after coming to Valentine and have made such remarkable achievements. If you become the mayor, I believe Valentine will develop better under your leadership!"

After a pause, a look of nostalgia appeared on the old man's face, which was full of traces of time at that moment:

"For thirty years, I have watched Valentine grow up day by day. This small town is like my child. But I am old and sometimes I forget things and can no longer accompany him to grow up."

"But deep down I still hope that my children can become better and one day they can go from Valentine town to Valentine city..."

"This requires a smart leader. And you are the right person!"

When he met the old man's serious look, "Young man, you will decide that he will be the one who is the one who is above." Luo Xia blinked his eyes and pretended to think for a moment before slowly raising his head:

"Since you think I can do this job, I am naturally honored. I will do my best to make Valentine better!"

Hearing this answer, the old mayor was obviously very happy. He slapped his thigh three times, and his face became much rosy in an instant:

"Okay! Very good! That's what you want!"

"I'm curious, if you become the mayor, what are your first things to do?"

Regarding this question, Luo Xia seemed to have already had a curse and blurted out:

“Improve Valentine’s face!”

"Oh, how to do it?"

“First, hire town cleaners to keep the streets clean!”

This is the first change that Rorschach wants to make to Valentine when he is playing games and traveling through this world personally!

Nothing else, this road is too bad and too smelly!

Because it is a town with developed animal husbandry trading, the streets of Valentine are not only dirt, but also feces left by passing livestock!

What's more, there is a famous saying in the Heavenly Kingdom:

If you want to be rich, build roads first!

In fact, Valentine's geographical environment is unique.

Located in the center of the heart of the earth, close to the Dakota River, it has abundant water and grass, which is very suitable for the development of animal husbandry.

And the railway station was built early, which can be called a transportation hub connecting West Elizabeth State and Heart and Hannover.

As long as you repair this road and develop the appearance of the town, you will definitely attract more immigrants or capital.

Rorschach was sure that if he had a higher salary and a better environment, those hard-working Chinese people would be very willing to come to Valentine to settle down.
