Chapter 45 To be 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 leather shoes, with white beard and hair, sat on the delicate sofa next to the tea table, brought the teacup to his mouth, and took a sip.

Afterwards, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the neatly trimmed mustache on his mouth, and said lightly in a hoarse voice:

"Young man, I am very optimistic about you."

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

"Valentine has changed a lot since you came here. I can see it all."

"Your Roche has made great contributions to the town's employment and security. As an old man who has lived in this town for 30 years, I am also very relieved to see Valentine getting better and better."

Facing the old man's admiration, Rorschach smiled slightly, "Mr. Walter, you are too polite. If it weren't for your help, my company would not have passed the government's tax reduction policy so easily."

"Valentin's scale today is due to your wise leadership playing a huge role."

This kind-hearted old man, named Moses Walter, is the current mayor of Valentine.

30 years ago, he came to this land rich in aquatic plants and laid the first nail.

Since then, he has held the post of mayor of Valentine until now.

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

Reaching out and tapping his thigh, the old mayor of Walter showed a wry smile:
"You can't accept old age. I will be 60 years old next month. My legs and feet are not so good. Every time it rains, the pain is so painful that my old bones can't stand it. It's time to retire and enjoy my old age..."

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

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

"I called you here today, just to ask you, are you interested in taking over my position and continue to contribute to Valentine's development?"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Xia finally understood the true purpose of the old mayor!

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

"Yes. If you want, I will fully support you during the election."

Ah this?

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

It can even be said that the west is the last wild land of the entire United States.

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

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

The state government basically does not intervene.

Call it a democratic election.

However, with Walter's reputation, if he wants someone to be the mayor, it's basically a matter of one sentence.

In other words, as long as Luo Xia nodded and agreed, he would be the next mayor by default!
It was thinking of this that Rorschach was a little surprised.

I just want to start a company, make money, and enjoy the rotten life of capitalism.

Now you actually want me to be the mayor and lead Valentine to become bigger and stronger?
Then, do you just start a wave and set off a storm in the land of the United States?

It sounds exciting and troublesome.

Luo Xia is a person who is very afraid of trouble, and often adopts simple methods to deal with complicated things.

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

After becoming the mayor of the town, he officially possessed the official legal status, and he was able to develop Valentine in a legitimate way and manage Valentine as his own territory!
In many things, he can also give his company more convenience.

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

"Why me, I've only been in Valentine for two months..."

It's okay not to mention it, but when this is mentioned, the old mayor looked at Luo Xia with a little more appreciation:

"This is precisely your advantage! You have only been in Valentine for two months, and you have been recognized by the local residents, and you have made such remarkable achievements. If you become the mayor, I believe, Valentin Ding will develop even better under your leadership!"

After a pause, a look of nostalgia appeared on the old man's face full of signs of time:

"For 30 years, I have watched Valentine grow up day by day. This small town is like my child. However, I am old and sometimes forget things, and I can no longer accompany him. grow up."

"However, deep down in my heart, I still hope that my child can become better, and one day be able to change from Valentine Town to Valentine City..."

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

Meeting the serious look of the old man, "Young man, the decision is up to you", Luo Xia blinked his eyes and pretended to think for a moment before slowly raising his head:

"Since you, Mr. Walter, think that I am qualified for 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 in a row, and his face instantly became much rosier:
"Okay! Very good! This is what I want!"

"I'm curious, if you take office as mayor, what's the first thing you plan to do?"

For this question, Rorschach seemed to have a draft, and blurted out:

"Improve Valentine's appearance!"

"Oh, how?"

"First, hire town cleaners and keep the streets clean!"

This was the first change Rorschach wanted to make to Valentine after he was playing the game and after traveling to this world in person!

Without him, this road is too bad, too stinky!

Since it is a town with a well-developed livestock trade, the streets of Valentine are not only dirt, but also the excrement left by passing livestock!
In fact, Valentine's geographical environment can be described as unique.

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

Moreover, the railway station was built early, which can be regarded as a transportation hub connecting West Elizabeth and Hannover.

As long as the road is repaired and the appearance of the town is improved, it will definitely attract more immigrants or capital.

Rorschach is sure that if there is a job with a higher salary and a better environment, those hard-working Chinese people will be very willing to come and settle in Valentine.

Coupled with macro-control and advanced development strategies, Valentine's prospects are undoubtedly bright!
