"Stop joking, are you going to use the children as bait?" Shanzhong interrupted the people who were chatting enthusiastically.
TAC will never use civilians, especially children, as bait.
"You know it's a joke." Konno laughed, "Even if it's just a bait, it should be our TAC that goes first. But, I think this suggestion of going to the amusement park is a good one."
"Beidou will be happier. He's like a child."
"Ah? Me?" Beidou didn't expect the topic to turn to himself. Of course, he was not opposed to amusement parks. He generally liked things that children liked.
However, which amusement park would be willing to undertake such a task by using the amusement park as bait? It is simply unrealistic.
As a trap, it is bound to be ravaged by super beasts, perhaps more than one.
Then it might be bombed by V9, which is an antimatter missile.
After a battle, probably not even the ruins are left.
Wouldn’t the owner of the amusement park be crying his ass off?
Even if the people from the Ministry of Disaster Prevention are willing to pay the original price, the amusement park will be gone and it will have to be rebuilt. Who would be willing to do that?
"I think it's pretty good."
When Beidou told Lingye about this as a joke, he didn't expect to get such a response.
"I'll build this playground, okay?"
"Ah? Are you serious?"
That would definitely be a loss. Even if the Oshima family has money, they can't spend it like this, right?
Does Lingye love humans so much?
Whether Lingya loves humans or not is another matter, but at least she made this proposal because she thought it was profitable.
"Have you confirmed that the Ministry of Disaster Prevention will pay for it? How about this, let the Ministry of Disaster Prevention invest 40% of the construction funds, and then no matter what happens to the amusement park, the Oshima family will bear the cost."
If the amusement park is destroyed, 60% of the losses will be paid entirely by the Oshima family, and the government will no longer be responsible.
If the amusement park had not been damaged, it would be equivalent to the Oshima family building an amusement park with 60% of the funds.
"Is this okay? Even 60% of the funding for an amusement park is a lot of money, right?"
It was destroyed by the super beast, so there is nothing left, right?
"No problem, as long as it's not destroyed. I have the Meta Domain."
Ah, that makes sense, Beidou couldn't refute it. Yes, only she could make this a profitable business.
"How about it, is it okay?"
"Having said that, it's not up to me to decide. I need to communicate."
This is indeed not something Beidou can decide. I talked to Ling today and it was just a casual mention. I didn't expect to find a major shareholder by accident.
"It's okay, you can go and communicate. My promise is always valid."
It was a spur of the moment decision, yes. But Ling Ye couldn't say that she had no idea about a theme park.
Opening an amusement park at home is probably one of the ultimate dreams of every child.
In my previous life, such a dream could only be a dream.
Even if her family had some money, it was only slightly better off than the average family. Even her parents would feel pain if they lost a few "small goals", and she herself had even less to spend, which was not enough for her to "create" like this.
Only here did the dream become a reality.
She is not afraid to spend money now. Before the financial crisis hits, she wants to convert the money in the account into actual fixed assets, which is the only way to preserve the value of the money to a certain extent.
Of course, the Asian financial crisis may not happen in this world. After all, there are super beasts and aliens, and the world line has long been different. Who knows?
Even if the crisis doesn't happen, she won't lose anything anyway.
Neither Beidou, who went back to report, nor Ling, who made the proposal, expected that her proposal would be quickly recognized by the top management.
It was faster than expected, and the sun hadn't even set yet.
"This is Mr. Nakagawa from the Ministry of Disaster Prevention," Captain Long introduced.
That afternoon, Captain Beidou and Captain Long brought Mr. Nakagawa to visit Oshima Manor.
The Ministry of Disaster Prevention was originally the Disaster Prevention Information Bureau under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Seven years ago, aliens invaded and frequently caused disasters in the island country, so the Disaster Prevention Information Bureau became an independent province, which is equivalent to having an extra seat in the cabinet.
Mr. Nakagawa did not introduce his position, but I think he is the one who can make the decision.
Although he is not the Minister of Disaster Prevention who often appears on TV as a "bowing robot", his position is not low. He may be one of the directors of several general bureaus under the Ministry of Disaster Prevention.
"Master Oshima, I have heard a lot about you. Regarding the proposal of the Oshima family conveyed to our Ministry of Disaster Prevention by the TAC team, we agree in principle. However, regarding the 40% investment, we suggest that it be in the form of land transfer. Do you think it is okay?"
Facing a ten-year-old girl, Mr. Nakagawa, who was in a high position of power, was not arrogant at all, but rather respectful.
"Land transfer? You mean, the Ministry of Disaster Prevention will take on the land for the amusement park?"
"That's right, but please understand that what we can allocate now is state-owned land, and we can only grant perpetual tenancy rights."
The land in island countries can be privately owned, but it is difficult to change general state-owned land and public land into private ownership.
Perpetual tenancy means only permanent right of use but not ownership.
Perpetual tenancy rights can also be bought and sold, and their value is not low. To be precise, as an amusement park, the value of its land must be no less than 40%, and it is likely to be even higher than the attachments above.
Therefore, the "investment" of the Ministry of Disaster Prevention is very sincere. After all, no matter what is built, the most important thing is of course the supporting land.
"Can I ask where the land is?"
Nakagawa took out a map, a map of Chiba Prefecture.
“We can’t allocate a large area of land in Tokyo, so it has to be Chiba Prefecture.”
Chiba was also within the Tokyo metropolitan area in later generations, so this piece of land can also be considered to be in Tokyo.
"The specific address is in Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture. There is a large area of undeveloped land near the mountains and rivers. What specific area do you think is appropriate?"
"Let me tell you?"
How can one party be allowed to speak so casually like this?
But it is also true that the larger the land, the greater the investment required.
But she always feels that the other party is giving her money. Is it an illusion?
To be honest, Ling is not quite sure what the appropriate size is.
Ling hesitated for a moment. She had never been to an amusement park, and had never even tried to learn about it. As a tourist, she would not have a deep impression of the park if she just took a quick look.
However, I remember that the theme park in my hometown city originally had an area of nearly 100 hectares next to Lion Rock. Later, due to outdated facilities and lease issues, it was moved to the forest in the suburbs. The main area of the park was cut in half, leaving only hectares.
It is indeed much smaller. The beach, the Colosseum and many other facilities are gone, and I can no longer find the original feeling.
Now, considering the era we are living in, why not go a little smaller, like 40 hectares?
When Lingye said this number, Nakagawa was obviously stunned.
"Forty hectares?"
“太大了吗？”
It is indeed a bit too big. I thought it was only tens of thousands of square meters. Three or five hectares is already big enough.
It's just an amusement park. Wouldn't it be enough to have a roller coaster, a haunted house and a carousel? How much space would that take up?
I didn't expect Lingya to mention such a big number. It was ten times bigger than he expected. Is Disneyland in the United States only this big?
But Nakagawa did not refuse. Forty hectares in the wilderness was actually nothing. Moreover, since the frequent appearance of monsters, the land of the island nation has become less and less valuable.
Even without considering other factors, building such a large amusement park would be a great boon to the local tourism industry. Although it is profitable, it is also a facility for the public.
It can enhance the local image.
And today he was just a nodding star. His superiors gave orders, and he didn't need to understand them. He just needed to confirm them.
"It's fine on our end, but does it really need to be that big? You should know the purpose of this amusement park."
The implication is that if it explodes, it’s gone.
Moreover, the Defense Force originally intended to implement the plan in six months. According to the current research and development progress of the emotion amplification device, it should be completed in half a year.
If this amusement park is too large and the construction takes too long, it will not be suitable.
The earth needs to get rid of the super beasts as soon as possible.
"Please rest assured, I will try to shorten the construction time as much as possible. I will try to complete it within half a year."
Ling actually had no idea whether a theme park could be built within half a year. But it didn't matter, at worst she could just ask for help.
As Gaia, the so-called "foreign aid" is of course from outside the earth.
It would be too cheap to ask the Kingdom of Light for help. They don't seem to have a department that can undertake engineering projects, and the Science and Technology Bureau shouldn't be in charge of this matter.
However, there were many second- and third-level civilizations of the Galactic Federation who had come to Earth before, either openly or secretly, and she knew some of them.
As long as it doesn't cause trouble, she will pretend not to see it.
Now we have something to ask them, so is it okay to build a theme park for them?
It must be fine.
On this side, since Ling also promised this, Nakagawa had no problem.
He took out a map and pointed out the location that the Ministry of Disaster Prevention had prepared long ago.
"There is a plain in Urayasu City, Chiba. Forty hectares of land can be allocated along the coast. Someone from the Land Surveying and Mapping Bureau will contact you. Although it is still a bit desolate, it is close to Tokyo Bay, so transportation is not a problem."
Ling also took a look and thought, why does it look familiar?
He blinked and looked again.
Wait, this location is on the north side of Tokyo Bay, in the direction of the estuary.
Isn't this the location of Tokyo Disneyland? She had been there in her previous life.
I waited in line for two hours to see the "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". It felt pretty good to look at the landscape through the water-filled laminated glass.
Disney was supposed to be created in the 1980s, so is she stealing Disney?
no problem?
It seems to be no problem, first come, first served.
