The Sea People Gang outsourced for public housing management.

In various regions, these local groups managed and maintained public housing.

This idea sounded good in theory, but in practice, Zhou Yi quickly found many problems.

The first issue was the mixed nature of the Sea People Gangs.

On the East Continent, these gangs had long been suppressed by major groups led by the Heavenly Kingdom, regularly eradicated and periodically targeted in anti-crime campaigns, causing them to restrain themselves for years.

Although they caused trouble and attacked towns and merchant ships, they knew some red lines couldn't be crossed.

The gangs that dared to disobey and act recklessly were all eliminated.

What remained were groups that could adapt to the current environment's rules.

They had indistinct ties with various knight orders and regional cities, often undertaking tasks from major forces, forming a gray group tacitly allowed to exist, generally considered to understand the rules.

The Western Continent was different, as the chaos continued, and whoever won had the final say.

The Governor, Skywalker, and the sea lords had no motivation to manage them unless their territory was affected, prompting a crackdown and rectification.

Therefore, the Western Sea People Gangs found by Sha Lang were mostly rough and wild in style.

Their attitude was to fight first.

Defecating or urinating anywhere in the public housing corridors? Drag them out and fight them.

Graffitiing walls? Tattoo the offenders' faces.

Destroying property? Lock them in a small dark room, cut off fingers first, and if they don't comply, chop off hands and feet.

Initially, Zhou Yi felt a headache upon hearing about this.

Their proactive attitude towards maintaining public housing was good, but such aggressive and brutal styles were... simply too explosive.

At one point, he considered changing the management team on the Western Continent.

However, Sha Lang advised, "Mr. Zhou, please allow me to speak for the Western Gangs; different places suit different rules."

"On the Eastern Continent, everyone is restrained and low-key, preferring negotiations to solve problems that can be addressed through money and resource allocation."

"But the Western Continent is different... over there, talking doesn't work; no one listens. Only fighting makes them understand."

"This isn't intentional by everyone, but simply the effective way. You can verify this."

Relevant data and information were easily accessible.

The Legal Front quickly provided feedback and confirmation.

The Minister of Foreign Trade, Red Kestrel, also said, "What Sha Lang said is an understatement. The Western Continent is in a chaotic state, fighting all year round."

"In chaotic times, severe measures are needed. Not only the gangs, but the Western Continent's Governors and sea lords administer their domains with extreme and cruel punishments. This method helps curb more crimes and rebellions in economically poor and challenging business environments."

Thus, Zhou Yi chose to respect the local customs.

Aside from that.

The previous rough allocation of public housing resulted in excessive housing in some originally wealthy areas, while other impoverished areas received none.

This caused incomplete resource allocation.

Zhou Yi talked with Jade City, feeling that solely relying on Jade City and Shi Gandang for this was somewhat strenuous.

Jade City was handling a large project independently for the first time, seriously lacking experience.

Shi Gandang, though an electromechanical expert, belonged to technical personnel and knew very little about the civil and social realm. Being disconnected from social realities for years, it knew only about company employees and had no direct contact with the living conditions of ordinary people outside today.

Public housing was a special welfare item targeting all land.

Zhou Yi instructed the Foreign Trade Department and the Civil Aviation Department to assist Jade City, ultimately leaving the decision-making power to Jade City itself.

In these two departments, the Foreign Trade Department understood the economic markets and people's consumption conditions in various external regions, able to confirm local wealth levels.

The Civil Aviation Department maintained increasingly close relationships with various regions through aerial routes, being aware of the inflow and outflow of populations in different regions.

Based on this real-time data, Jade City quickly adjusted many specifics under Red Kestrel's suggestion.

In less than a month.

The results emerged.

Jade City happily reported, "Commissioner, the strategic adjustment is very successful! The occupancy rate has now significantly increased, although the senses are limited by the distance."

"We conducted statistics and information aggregation for each region, creating population and housing rate maps based on which we made more precise allocations. We prioritized areas with high demand and low living standards, first meeting the needs of the most struggling groups."

"Upon arrival in a local area, the Sea People Gangs are the first to move in; we notify them first. They will weed out those local applicants who don't meet the requirements. If there's an excess in numbers, a lottery will be conducted to select tenants."

"We also have satellite positioning and observation to determine the real-time situation on-site, which can also serve as a supervision role."

"Previously, the continuous decline in occupancy rate, despite numerous housing allocations, has now been alleviated. Commissioner, the adjustment plan you provided is very effective!"

Zhou Yi was somewhat aware of this matter too.

After all, he was an old human who knew something about the problems faced by low-rent housing. By using past strategies and integrating some practical conditions from the Wasteland Era, it was a combination of old and new methods.

"Commissioner, there's one more thing about mid-to-upper-level housing propulsion, requiring your consultation."

"Tell me more."

Jade City explained, "The large-scale laying of E-level housing is to meet the needs of those without homes; they are large in number. However, there are always residents with high housing demands who seek better environments to upgrade their homes, just as you've mentioned."

"With the basic public housing deployment on track, I want to initiate this part of the action."

Zhou Yi became interested, "How do you propose to proceed?"

"Commissioner, Shi Gandang and I have long been planning in this direction, to create high-quality real estate, and then sell occupancy rights externally. One can buy a house in the building by just paying. It also generates some revenue for the company from advanced housing."

"Although public housing will also gradually upgrade over time in theory, it takes a long time. Directly creating higher-tier supporting facilities can cater to those with spending power and needs."

This alien employee who joined the company early said, "We are preparing to directly create D, C, B, and A tiers of Jade City's improved housing."

"These four tiers each have different supporting facilities."

"D and C tiers are both small high-rises, equipped with heating, lighting, water supply, and stronger defense systems, which are not available in E-tier."

"A and B tiers are high-rises."

"B tier will have homeowner identification functionality, requiring homeowners to register and match access control security systems, achieving full coverage of drainage and water supply pipes, with separate rain and sewage lines, and specific fire and waterproof features... just like the early 5, 6, and 7 blocks."

"A tier goes one step further, it's the most luxurious high-quality residence. It will feature current large screen projection walls, internal internet and power facilities, and Electric Cat Walkie-Talkies. An electric cat will act as the stairway concierge for the entire building, directly conversing with each homeowner to provide real-time responses."

"The Electric Cat concierge will use the Electric Cat Transcoder to remotely communicate with the homeowners. If a distant solution is unsolvable, they'll go and review the specific situation."

"However, B and A tiers require an additional property service fee, which is the necessary expenditure to maintain the entire living environment."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up as he listened.

Improved housing seems to be an interesting approach.

Previously, the Mars household registration case had already demonstrated that there were a lot of wealthy individuals even in the Wasteland Era.

Zhou Yi inquired, "How is the pricing determined?"

"Commissioner, we reference the pricing of the Light Imprint Device, consulted with Minister Red Kestrel and Director Qian Su, and the current pricing is set at 1200 Light Seeds per D-level house, 2500 Light Seeds per C-level house, 15,000 Light Seeds per B-level house, and 50,000 Light Seeds per A-level house."

"The property fees are..."

Jade City listed the calculated prices.

The house prices were not expensive. Many comparable Light Imprint Devices produced in Mechanical City were priced higher, so relatively speaking, the houses were a type of equivalent Light Imprint tool.

Zhou Yi nodded, "Let's go with this; trial it first and see."

"Yes!"

Jade City said, "Commissioner, we plan to release the improved housing information on Recursive City's [Wasteland Information] and Legal Front, and interested parties can apply for pre-purchase. Once more than 30% of the houses are bought, we will start construction directly at the location."

So, the matter was settled that way.

What Zhou Yi didn't expect was that only a short time later, he received a report saying that over 30% of the improvements had been booked.

The first batch of three improved residential complexes was subsequently completed in the Shuanghe Region, Sand Port, and Coral Port, marking the beginning of an era of premium housing.

While the real estate industry was developing, some unusual things happened on the Moon.

Zhou Yi received a message.

"Chairman, the little people in the bottle have appeared on the Moon, and there are two of them. This time, they seem completely normal, neither drunk nor disoriented."

Without hesitation, Zhou Yi rushed to the Moon with Hei Fu.
