Chapter 976 Sparks All Over the Ground
Soon, a large number of people gathered around Rose City with various purposes.
They brought various tents and cabins, and some people simply slept in their cars.
The gathering of a large number of people naturally brought about various demands. Smart vendors came from all over, bringing various goods and services. Even some prostitutes set their sights on this area and drove over to look for business and solicit customers.
Of course, the largest number of them are the vendors from Chicken Roll Country. Zhang Tuohai, who had been prepared for all this, had already prepared supplies and goods. Many of them were even originally donated supplies. As soon as the news of the ceasefire was confirmed, they were immediately converted into goods on the spot and sold, and the price more than doubled.
Although people in Rose City are very dissatisfied with this, scarcity makes things valuable. Many things are only sold by Zhang Tuohai. If you don’t buy them, they may be sold out in the next second.
Therefore, even though the prices are very high, it still cannot stop people from consuming and they buy in large quantities.
Among them, cigarettes, beer, fried chicken and cola are the most consumed.
The war has caused indelible pain to many people, and they need these to numb their nerves.
In addition to selling various scarce materials, the merchants Zhang Tuohai sent over also purchased various luxury goods. They did not ask where they came from, as long as they were genuine, they would buy them. However, the purchase price was less than one-tenth of the market price.
Even so, many people are flocking to the market and starting to buy for free, bringing their newly purchased luxury goods to the vendors in exchange for fried chicken and beer.
These merchants then shipped the purchased luxury goods back to their country, where Zhang Tuohai would transship them overseas and sell them to other countries at 70% off the market price.
Because it was authentic and cheap, it attracted a lot of buyers. As a result, a stable trade chain was formed between Rose City and Chicken Roll Country.
Because a long section of the road has to pass through underground tunnels, Zhang Tuohai calls it tunnel economy.
It is precisely because of the existence of the tunnel economy that Rose City has formed a deformed trade industry chain. The entire city is supporting this industry chain. Most people actually live a colorful life, and many people are even better off than before the war. The economy is gradually improving, and many people have begun to take selfies online to show off their lives.
At first, people thought it was a PR video and didn't take it seriously. How good could a city that had just gone through war be?
After it was published, people gradually realized that all of this was actually true.
This discovery really shocked many people, and at the same time, it also made many people with low incomes think more. Some Internet celebrities smelled the traffic and immediately drove over to shoot videos in the Rose City, and interviewed people on the spot. However, as soon as they arrived, they were stuffed with red envelopes by Pedro and Sanders.
After receiving the money, these internet celebrities naturally know what to do, and all kinds of videos are biased in some way, overtly or covertly. In their lenses, the economy of the entire Rose City is booming, the residents are free and wealthy, and everyone's face is filled with a peaceful and happy smile.
Under the promotion of these internet celebrities, the entire Rose City has become a concrete symbol of freedom and democracy, and has become a dream in the hearts of those who are dissatisfied with their lives.
As a result, more and more people were attracted by the video and came to the Rose City by various means of transportation.
Some people felt like they had arrived in heaven, while others were greatly disappointed and felt that this place was not what they had imagined.
He filmed a video in an attempt to expose it all, but his account was quickly restricted and blocked, and then he was found by Sanders or Pedro's people and secretly dealt with.
Sanders and Pedro have understood that only by maintaining the positive image of the Rose City can they continue to gather resources here and allow them to live a happier and freer life. Therefore, they spend a lot of money on social media public relations every month. As long as there is negative news about them, the posts will be deleted, the traffic will be limited, and the account will be banned in a one-stop manner. Then, after obtaining the information and address of the person who took the photo, they will physically remove it.
Anyone who prevents them from living a better life should not exist in this world.
Both Sanders and Pedro have gradually deviated from their original ideas and started to fall into the trap of power and wealth. They have been gradually corrupted and started to be greedy for power and wealth. As for the original dream of freedom? What is that?
There are many smart people in the world. In addition to Sanders and Pedro, there are many people who have seen the prosperity of the Rose City. However, their own resources and strength are limited, so they cannot go to the Rose City to replace it.
So what to do?
Many people are wondering if they can replicate the Rose City model in their own cities.
Turn your own city into a rose city?
Wouldn't it be possible for me to become the next Zhang Tuohai and Bao Juanping?
So , these foolish people started sending people to Rose City to inquire about the situation.
Under Pedro's guidance, these people soon realized that the reason why Sanders and Sanders were able to succeed was because of foreign military aid, and this military aid came from Pedro.
So, after spending a lot of resources, these people met Pedro.
Pedro didn't know either. The agreement was that as long as they were willing to establish a free city in their city, Pedro would be willing to provide weapons. However, some industries, such as cola and fried chicken, as well as the acquisition of luxury goods, would have to be monopolized by Pedro as a reward.
After getting the promise, these people happily signed the contract and then returned to their city with the goods that Pedro had just ordered from the military-industrial complex.
After a series of careful preparations, on a Friday night, a major event occurred that shocked the entire Lighthouse Country.
That night, freedom actions took place in 99 cities across the 50 states of the Lighthouse Country.
That night, countless people took up arms, smashed open military and police warehouses, and looted the wealthy areas.
Many people took the opportunity to seek revenge by hanging their hated bosses on street lamps.
There were also many people with impure motives who mixed in and committed evil and looting acts. However, all the evidence was burned by fire and then painted over in the name of freedom.
Because it was the weekend, both the congressmen and the guards were on vacation, and in most camps only one-third of them were forced to work, while the rest went to the city to have fun.
Then, they were greeted with free shooting.
Overnight, more than ninety cities declared themselves free cities, demanding that the state legislature grant them the same rights as Rose City. They also wanted unlimited freedom.
For a time, the entire Internet was filled with a wave of freedom.
