Chapter 138 New Year in Cotton Town
Many people in the United States are also celebrating the Lunar New Year.

Tian Ersan strolled through the town center of Cotton Town, touring the town with Leona.

The town of Cotton has acquired a large amount of land and absorbed a significant number of immigrants.

In addition to the cast of actors recruited by Holly herself, Cotton Town also recruited a group of hardworking workers.

Although Chinese people often say they are hardworking and resilient, in the eyes of some people from the United States, the real Chinese people are those who frequently go shopping, traveling, and studying around the world, such as people from Shanghai and Beijing.

Even if people from China come to Cotton Town, they will definitely be there for tourism and spending. China is now the second largest country in the world, and it won't be long before it surpasses the United States.

Leona and others employ hardworking Latin American immigrants, impoverished people from poor areas of Southeast Asia, and Filipino maids who are even more service-oriented than women from China.

"This place looks really nice."

Looking at the bustling town, Tian Ersan felt that the population had increased to around two thousand.

It's quite impressive that a little over 100 people can recruit more than 2,000 people within four or five months and lead them to work diligently.

Leona casually remarked, "What you see is only now; in the summer there will be ten thousand people here."

Tian Ersan didn't understand the group's drive.

"You can gather 10,000 people so quickly? Can you manage such a large number?"

Leona's expression was natural; she wasn't wearing a dress or trench coat, but rather simple and neat work clothes.

“Yes, and that’s a conservative estimate.” Leanna looked at her town. “There are no drugs, no prostitutes, and no rampant guns.”

"The only ones with legal force are the town's police, and I am the governor who oversees them."

"The communication equipment for this town was commissioned from a Chinese telecommunications company. Once the factory is completed, immigrants will be brought in to work here."

"What we need to do is pay them their wages on time, provide them with a safe workplace, solve their household registration problems, and at the same time, prevent robbery, theft, and other such incidents, as well as mutual discrimination."

"Here, everyone must abide by the rules of Cotton Town. No one can buy or carry any guns. Of course, there will be no lazy people here, and no benefits will be provided outside of work."

Tian Ersan nodded, looking at the electronics factory under construction in the distance.

"Sounds good, anything else?"

Leona smiled and continued to introduce the bustling town.

“I have planned five communities.”

“Central Community, the core area of ​​Cotton Town, a top-tier community where our own people live.”

"The Northeast community is a mix of white and Asian residents, and it will become a hub for high-tech industries, banks, book publishers, advertising agencies, and computer companies."

"The Northwest Community is an industrial zone, mainly inhabited by immigrants. It houses the urban departments of some chemical companies, responsible for after-sales service and testing, and developing the materials industry and aerospace-related industries."

"Southwest South Community is a gathering place for clothing markets and light industrial communities, and it has a large number of migrant workers. The business of Apple mobile phones was carried out here."

“The Southeast Community is a traditional agricultural area with buildings such as cold storage warehouses and large slaughterhouses. The residents are mainly urban workers and civil servants.”

As Tian Ersan listened to Liana's introduction, he looked at the construction workers working in the distance.

The construction workers were also watching, but they quickly went back to work.

Tian Ersan noticed the skin color of those people; most of them were immigrants.

Leona smiled and said, "This place has taken in engineers and workers from Motor City. Last July, Motor City went bankrupt, and we were very lucky to get those grateful people to come and rebuild Motor City at a very low price."

Tian Ersan asked curiously, "Then why not just go to the car city?" Leona shook her head, "Our size can't handle such a big city, but give us two years to develop, and this place will be the car city!"

The Motor City in the United States had been declining for a long time, and only officially filed for bankruptcy last year.

Many auto workers are homeless and utterly disillusioned with the future.

With the large amount of funds raised, Cotton Town quickly recruited professional workers from the car city and invited them to rebuild the car city.

Only a portion of them have been invited so far. These truck drivers and mechanics are temporarily working as construction workers to make a living and build the car factory they will use for their future work.

Tian Ersan could sense that many people nearby were curious about him.

Even when I was taking a walk here with an actress a few days ago, no one around me paid much attention.

It's normal for actresses to sleep with anyone, but this is Leona!
“You’re very popular here.” Tian Ersan was certain it was due to Leona’s influence, which made many people pay special attention to him.

Leona accepted the compliment, “Yes, everyone here likes me. I’m more popular than Tia, at least ten times more so.”

Tian Ersan thought Tia was prettier, but Tia and Leona were positioned differently.

“That’s true.” Tian Ersan didn’t argue with her and went along with it, saying, “I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly here.”

Leona smiled and said, "If other cities can manage a hundred departments and ensure that none of them embezzle a single penny, and use all the money in their hands for development, then they can do it too."

"Giving out money is not a simple matter. The money from the federal government, the fruit company, and many other corporate sponsors is reduced by at least a third before it reaches us. We, on the other hand, use all the money we receive in the right places."

"Furthermore, we will minimize procedures for each other, and we will not shirk responsibility or stand aside."

“Oh, I forgot to mention,” Leanna explained, “At Christmas, everyone in our town invited all the workers who work here, whether they are Black, White, or Asian, to the theater to watch a performance, sing, and dance together to celebrate Christmas.”

"Although it's a very small thing and doesn't cost much money, do you know what? Over the past few months, many people have voluntarily reduced their wages to work with us. Everyone wants to get back to work as soon as possible, rather than rest and sleep as soon as possible."

Leona casually said, "Before you leave, do something for me. Take out the grain, timber, soil, stone, and metal from the granaries and warehouses. We need these things."

Tian Ersan nodded and continued to tour this extraordinary little town.

This place absorbed the unemployed workers who couldn't find jobs after the car city went bankrupt.

They absorbed respectable families who were homeless after the hurricane disaster and joined the Lone Star Guard, led by Leona.

They recruited programmers who came to work because of John's development of the short video software YS, and under John's leadership, they operated short video live streaming and advertising businesses.

They absorbed the singers and dancers brought in by Holly, a group of dream chasers with dreams in their hearts.

It absorbed a large number of construction workers who came to work there, as well as illegal immigrants from Southeast Asia and Latin America who wanted to make money.

Cotton Town is different from those capitalists and entrepreneurs, and also different from Chinese restaurants and gangs.

The Smiths simply did not discriminate against these people, gave them a job opportunity, and did not deduct their wages or mistreat them.

that's enough.

It's hard to find a place in the whole world where wages aren't deducted.

Instead of blindly expanding, the Smiths first focused on securing their two or three thousand men.

The rise of Cotton Town was inevitable.

Tian Ersan also contributed his share, taking advantage of his vacation to collaborate with his female teacher, Marika, to shoot an art film vying for awards.

After resting, Tian Ersan entered the space to prepare for battle!
