Chapter 285 Negotiation
Having learned from past mistakes, the first batch of players to enter Huacheng were selected through a screening process.

To be honest, sitting in this teleportation array is really not a comfortable experience.

Fortunately, in just a few seconds, his foot landed firmly on the ground.

Ning Yun steadied herself, and Xiao Qichen, who had been about to raise his hand, put it back in place.

"Let's get out of here quickly, so we don't block the way."

She grabbed Xiao Qichen's arm and resolutely walked forward.

Several people appeared one after another, including the old man they knew and Yu Lixing.

China attaches great importance to the planning of the main city, so in addition to a few managers, a planning team was brought in before unlocking the buildings.

The leader of the team was a man with slightly graying hair.

Behind him followed a dozen or so people, all carrying notebooks and pens to take notes.

The old man's request was also very clear: the industrial zone would not be moved to Huacheng for the time being, but would be arranged outside the city.

Urban planning prioritizes residential areas, commercial areas, and administrative areas.

The current City Lord's Mansion can be considered an administrative building.

The remaining task is to consider how to reasonably arrange for the players to move in and meet their daily living needs.

This isn't Earth, after all; we need to consider the unique characteristics of survival games.

After stepping out of the teleportation array, all you could see was a large open space.

In the distance are tall city walls, somewhat similar to those of ancient Chinese cities, with gates on all four sides.

The planning team was pressed for time, so after greeting the elderly, they began taking measurements.

Seeing their busy figures, Ning Yun felt embarrassed to go up and disturb them.

The current layout of Motown is already established, and considering the original inhabitants, it is not suitable to make major changes.

Ning Yun did not want to disrupt the existing order of Mo City. She came along at the invitation of the old man.

Xiao Qichen was someone she dragged over.

"Comrade Ning, thank you for being willing to provide the planning map of Mo City for our team's reference."

The old man spoke very kindly, which made Ning Yun feel flattered.

"No, no, I'm just passing on what I've learned. Actually, I'd like to learn from you, since I know absolutely nothing about management."

Ning Yun knew that she was practically a blank slate in their eyes, so she spoke her mind directly without hiding anything.

"I also want to ask for advice from professionals on how to develop and plan this Motown in the future. I have absolutely no clue right now."

As a city with indigenous inhabitants, everything in Motown has its own rationale.

Ning Yun couldn't possibly change everything as soon as he took office; that would be utterly reckless.

She needs to recruit some players to inject new vitality into MoCity.

Balancing the needs of native players and new players is her biggest headache right now.

"MoCity has a great location and convenient transportation, and it has a strong commercial atmosphere. However, it seems that current players need a city with abundant natural resources."

Just like the current Huacheng, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountains are rich in resources that players can collect and hunt.

The mountains near Komo City have poor vegetation, and even if you want to farm, the soil resources are not good.

The only advantage is that it can trade with other city-states in the survival world, but prices are very high.

But most players don't have much money, and Ning Yun was afraid that even if they went, they wouldn't stay long.

Modern City is somewhat similar to Shanghai in China.

There are many opportunities to make money, but it's hard for the poor to stay.

Only the wealthy can truly appreciate the full charm of this city.

Therefore, Ning Yun came to the Chinese camp to learn from their experience. Yu Lixing smiled knowingly, "Comrade Ning, you're not telling the truth. I think you're not here to learn from their experience, you're here to attract investment."

Ning Yun's thoughts were exposed, but she wasn't ashamed.

"I really had no other choice. Mo City is great, but it's expensive. I checked, and the daily maintenance fee alone is 400 gold coins, not even counting other expenses."

When she said this, Ning Yun almost...
She also carefully examined Motown's tax situation and found that it was barely breaking even.

Of course, this is under peaceful circumstances.

But just think about it, this is a world of survival, and peace is a luxury.

Ning Yun is extremely worried; the money she has won't last more than a few days.

That's why she came up with a plan.

The average player has no money, but the faction has plenty!
Her target is not ordinary players, but all factions.

MoCity is the only communication platform for players on Earth and natives of the Survival World.

Ordinary players may not care, but each faction certainly has its own plans.

Who wouldn't want to explore a whole new world?
She believes that now that communication among Blue Star players can proceed without hindrance, all sorts of teams will inevitably emerge.

By then, Motown will be able to provide such a platform and charge a small commission, which wouldn't be unreasonable.

In any case, most of Mo City's taxes are commercial taxes, and Ning Yun is just leveraging Mo City's advantages.

"I've already checked. Although this world is a survival world and many resources are the same, our Earth also has its own specialties."

“For example, wild vegetables. People in Motown don’t eat them, and they don’t know how to eat them. But China has thousands of years of culinary history. You can open a restaurant there and it will be packed with customers.”

"The merchants in Mo City come from various city-states and have many special products. They don't only use currency for transactions; barter is also possible."

She had already planned it out: first, to make Blue Star's special products famous, and then to establish a special market for trading Blue Star's special products.

There is much to be accomplished in this area.

Ning Yun didn't know that when she said that, she was radiating light.

For these big shots, what kind of people haven't they seen?

Ning Yun's direct and bold expression of her thoughts actually earned their admiration.

It's a good thing that young people are energetic.

Moreover, the biggest beneficiary of this event is actually the camp itself.

If Ning Yun holds the Mo City card and demands a high entry fee, the faction will have no choice but to pay.

But she never thought of that, much less use Mo City to control more than a dozen factions on Blue Star.

The old man spoke up, "Comrade Ning, I agree to this cooperation. The contract will be ready today, and I will represent China to formally sign it."

Ning Yun was somewhat surprised that things were accomplished so easily.

Ning Yun will sign contracts with other factions.

But her initial plan for China was to provide them with access to the channels for free.

After all, she is also a member of the Chinese camp. If the Chinese camp improves, she will benefit as well.

Ning Yun wanted to refuse, but the old man insisted.

"The country cannot take advantage of you; let's stick to the facts."

With the Chinese camp taking the lead, negotiations with other camps became much easier.

However, Ning Yun's biggest worry right now is the lack of manpower.

Managing Motown requires her to do everything herself.

Therefore, she decided to poach people with high salaries—no, to hire people with management experience from the Chinese camp with high salaries.

She wasn't afraid of being sidelined, after all, the city lord had absolute power in the city and could dismiss people directly.
