"Damn, is that Yan Guo?"
"What an imposing port! It looks like a movie!"
"How big is this airport?"
"My God, in just a month, the foundations of Yan City are already in place?"
"The logistics are impressive, but the infrastructure is a bit limited, just three locations so far."
"Three locations? Are you ignoring the highways?"
"Do highways count too?"
"Of course you do! If you want to prosper, you need good roads, no matter the season or country."
"It's unbelievable that all of this was built in just one month."
"What's so unbelievable? Everything can be solved with money. If you invest enough, any country can do it."
"This country has a promising future. As soon as the construction work in Yan Guo is finished, I will be the first to apply for a job!"
"Your candidacy may take a while. I'm afraid that the tycoons will build their houses and then lay off the workers."
"I don't think that's going to happen..."
When watching Yan Guo's promotional video and comparing it to Yan Guo after just over a month, the change is extraordinary, it is a total transformation.
And this is just the beginning, now the construction of the buildings on the ground is beginning.
Compared to the complex airports and ports, and underground tunnels of Yan City, the buildings on the ground are as simple as assembling toy blocks.
Day after day, what was a desolate Yan City is now filled with skyscrapers.
There are no unfinished houses in Yan City, all of them will receive basic finishes, whether for commercial or residential buildings, they will all be luxuriously decorated.
Including appliances and a certain amount of furniture, allowing buyers to move in with "suitcases and all."
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, all of Yan City's buildings were completed.
The furniture factory was the last to be completed, and all production line facilities were also in place.
[Furniture factory construction completed, 500,000 citizenship points reward!]
"That's it?"
Chen Yang waited anxiously, but he did not receive the expected reward.
He looked at the various buildings in Yan City, including schools, large shopping malls, parks, residential buildings...
After waiting ten minutes, Chen Yang confirmed that there was indeed no reward.
Chen Yang found it a little strange and couldn't understand what the problem was, but he didn't worry too much about it.
It was already four in the afternoon when Chen Yang walked through the wide streets of Yan City. As he looked around, he saw modern buildings side by side, filling his eyes.
Yan City didn't have many tall buildings. Government departments were mainly two-story, while the residential area consisted of single-family or semi-detached villas as well as apartments over 140 square meters on three floors.
There were also large three-story shopping malls and five-story hotels.
Chen Yang walked along the streets, observing the people, or rather the robots, that passed by him.
These robots were the first inhabitants of Yan City and would be very useful to him.
Initially, he thought of using these construction robots as temporary employees in some places, but that didn't work out.
Construction robots are just construction robots, and service robots would need to be purchased separately. The system stopped him from trying to break the rules.
In Chen Yang's original plan, after the buildings were completed, he would simultaneously begin fundraising and hiring employees.
Attracting investments aims to supply Yan City with everything necessary for daily life, from clothing and food to services and infrastructure.
The recruitment of labor aims to attract investors to open their businesses in Yan City, complementing the city's offer of services and amenities.
Both strategies complement each other and are essential for the development of Yan City.
However, it is important to keep in mind that it is not always easy to attract investment and qualified labor.
Entrepreneurs do not rely on emotions to make investment decisions. They only invest if they see a positive financial return.
If there is not enough population in Yan City, for example, no matter how much the city is promoted online, investments will hardly come.
Attracting investments and qualified labor is a slow and gradual process.
So, Chen Yang originally prepared for the possibility that he would not be able to attract investment, and so he planned to be self-reliant.
However, with the completion of several infrastructure projects, Yan City experienced rapid population growth, making the initial investment attraction strategy unnecessary.
This allows him to directly purchase various types of service robots, ensuring the city's functioning.
And the cost he needs to bear is just the basic ingredients.
These ingredients, produced with the market's investment, are more than enough to meet Yan City's daily needs.
And that's not all it brings him.
Imagine, as soon as a city finishes building houses, the next day a large number of restaurants and service companies appear.
Once this news spreads, Chen Yang can imagine how interesting the various countries' reactions will be.
Chen Yang's smile never disappeared the entire way.
He goes to a hotel, buys robots and matching clothes for them to keep their places.
And when he is about to leave, the system voice suddenly sounds.
[Hotel investment operation, 10,000 citizen points reward!]
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and soon after he understood.
He understood, that's how it works!
Isolated individuals, such as high-speed roads and factories that border Yan City but are not within Yan City's range, receive rewards as soon as they are built.
But the buildings above the city must have corresponding personnel assigned.
Although the reward is a little small, it is better than nothing.
He continues to walk towards hotels, restaurants, breakfasts, noodle houses...
Along the way, the sound of rewards continues to echo.
