China's Truth Department Headquarters.
Ren Ruofeng was reading a report.
"The Rise of the Seafolk — The Unification Process of the Octopus."
"Hehe, looks like that childish octopus matured very quickly. Demon and cultivator, combining these two identities makes it grow faster than ordinary people." Ren Ruofeng nodded.
Then, he made a phone call.
Not long after, a simple and honest middle-aged man walked in. His face was weathered, and there was a hint of depression in his spirit, as if he had been through a lot.
"Oh, Xie Dong, are you busy now?" Ren Ruofeng asked warmly.
"Uh, you, what do you think?" Xie Dong said with a bitter face.
Ren Ruofeng put on a good face and said coldly, "I see that you're very free to joke with me like this. I have a task for you. You're the leader of the Public Relations team now, so it's your job. "
"I've done quite a lot of foreign affairs …" Xie Dong muttered softly.
"Louder, I can't hear you!" Ren Ruofeng said fiercely.
"I promise to complete the task!" Xie Dong stood up straight.
"That's more like it. The octopus that you taught before has grown into a king in less than a year. It's a good opportunity for us to deepen our cooperation." Ren Ruofeng said lightly.
"How do we cooperate?"
"I want to hear your opinion first." Ren Ruofeng asked.
Xie Dong was stunned. He racked his brain and said after a long time, "I think we can let them develop marine tourism. It's green and pollution-free, and with an octopus pulling a boat, I think many curiosity hunters would like to ride it …"
"Sounds like you have a lot of experience. This is all from experience …" Ren Ruofeng said meaningfully.
"Uh, you flatter me. I'm just giving an immature suggestion." Xie Dong pretended to be dumb. He would never tell him about his time traveling around the world on a dolphin.
That feeling was really good. It was like a modern person who would spend a lot of money to ride on an ancient carriage.
However, there were too many people who rode on horses, but there were very few who could ride on fish. The size of the market was unimaginable.
"Tourism is just an entertainment industry. It's green and pollution-free, but it doesn't produce effective wealth. My suggestion is to let them be responsible for the safety of the sea. "Ren Ruofeng couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush. After beating around the bush, he revealed his true intentions.
"Advisor, you are wise. In the past two years, the prices of goods have skyrocketed. I've seen some news that it's because of a problem with the sea transportation, causing transportation to be inconvenient. Goods are being hoarded everywhere. Some places can't sell them, and some places can't import them. It's just like America's corn and wheat. Once they enter the ocean, they'll be like sheep in a pack of wolves … "Xie Dong complimented.
"Hehe, you're quite knowledgeable. You didn't go to university for nothing." Ren Ruofeng nodded and said, "Yes, many sea monsters like human food exports the most. For them, food ships going to the sea is like humans feeding fish in a fish tank. Naturally, they will rush to it."
"I understand. Shall I look for Brother Twelve Arms to discuss this matter now?" Xie Dong asked tentatively.
Ren Ruofeng nodded and tossed him a proposal that had been written for who knew how long.
"Take a good look at this plan. Try to get them to maintain the sea routes between China and the United States, suppress those illegal sea demons, and try to restore the main sea routes to before the Era of Vitality within three to six months," Ren Ruofeng said lightly.
This task was really heavy. F * ck, he had to work overtime every day again …
Xie Dong hugged the thick proposal and frowned.
"What's there to worry about? If this is done well, the prices will fall. Won't your family benefit too? This is a great thing that benefits the country, the people, and yourself. Only saints can do it. If it's done well, you'll have great merit. You've probably heard about Elder Ancestor Bai. Without merit, even ten of him would have been killed by the Venerable One. You're already lucky to only suppress him now. "Ren Ruofeng reminded him.
"Uh, yes, yes. Advisor, you're so far-sighted. I'm too short-sighted. I can't compare, I can't compare, "Xie Dong said with a bitter face.
"Go now. I want to see your progress report in three days." Ren Ruofeng ordered him with the attitude of a boss who only cared about the results, not the process.
Xie Dong hugged the proposal and left with a bitter face.
The feasibility of this plan was naturally high.
However, it was definitely troublesome and tiring.
How far was the sea route between China and the United States? He had traveled around the sea with Twelve Arms before, so he had some idea of the distance. Even if it was not twenty thousand miles, it was at least eighteen thousand miles …
With such a long sea route and the raging waves below, there was no telling how many big demons were lurking.
In the ocean, the size of the monsters far exceeded that of those on land.
Before the Era of Vitality, when the largest sea animals were compared to the largest land animals, the latter could only admit defeat.
How could an elephant compare to a blue whale?
Now that the Era of Vitality had begun, there were countless native big demons hiding in the ocean. They were far scarier than those on land.
Under such circumstances, one could imagine how difficult it was to maintain the safety of maritime traffic …
That did not seem to be the case …
"Hehe, I have an idea." Xie Dong hugged the proposal and quickly ran back to his office.
He quickly skimmed through it. It was so detailed that it made one's hair stand on end. It seemed that Advisor Ren had put in a lot of effort, the details were very rich.
The specific ports to guard, the arrangement of patrol nodes, the security measures, and the joint defense mechanism were all explained.
However, compared to that great god, these did not seem to be of much use.
He quickly made a call.
"Hello, is this Butler Zheng? It's me, Xie Dong. "
"Yes, I want to discuss the issue of maritime security and joint defense with the Harmony Era Company."
"Okay, okay, don't worry about the funding. Now that the sea is paralyzed, I don't know how many ship owners are suffering, they'll definitely be happy to offer their services. "
"Yes, yes, we'll directly allocate funds as a special maintenance fee for traffic."
After the phone call, Xie Dong leaned on the sofa, feeling proud of himself.
As expected, after being in a position, his vision was different.
In the past, he could only think of what to do, now he could think of "who should I find to do it …"
Unfortunately, the budget was a little high. Who cared, he was not the one paying for it, and he believed that many people would be willing to pay for it.
…
In the System Space.
"There's work!" When Fang Ning was cultivating, Sir System roared and almost caused him to go berserk … That was impossible.
"What are you doing? Instead of cultivating, you're here to disturb my sleep. "Fang Ning said righteously.
That was right, the reason why he did not go berserk was because he fell asleep while cultivating … It would be strange if he went berserk.
"You're not cultivating, you were snoring just now." Sir System said bluntly.
"Forget it, what work do you have to do? Tell me about it." Fang Ning felt guilty and quickly skipped the topic.
"Oldman Ren and the others want to create a safe passage at sea, they hope that we can participate."
"This is a good thing, a wise man once said, 'Becoming a Marquis is not my intention, I wish for the sea to be peaceful.' We should join. Speaking of which, prices have risen too much in the past year, if it wasn't for the crisis subsidies, I think a lot of people would be living in poverty. "Fang Ning sighed deeply.
"But there's a problem, I can't see the monsters underwater, or else they wouldn't be wreaking havoc until now. Look at the land transportation, with my patrol, it's already returned to a safe state, even better than a few years ago, or else prices would have increased tenfold. "Sir System said gloomily.
"Oh, so that's the problem. It's okay if you can't see, we can let them lure the monsters out of the sea. You're the Monkey Sun, let the others be Zhu Bajie. "Fang Ning immediately came up with an idea.
"I think so too, Mr. Rich Boss, great minds think alike." Sir System said bluntly.
"Hmph, since you know what to do, stop bothering me while I'm cultivating. I was cultivating in my dream just now, you're bothering me again." Fang Ning said, then closed his eyes and sat down.
