One hundred and twenty billion is definitely not a small amount for the Future People Group. Bayi [net]
But if these two hundred billion are used to forge the key to the universe, then it is just a number.
After the space elevator is built, let alone 200 billion, there is a question whether the future currency settlement of the Future Group will use US dollars. The earth's aerospace industry will complete a leap from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age. The cost of entering outer space will even be lower than that of civil aviation. The originally unrealistic space mining will also become a reality. The changes to earth's civilization can be described as earth-shaking. .
To achieve all this, it only takes 120 billion pieces of paper.
After coming out of the research institute of the Aerospace Science and Technology Center, Jiang Chen went to Xia Shiyu's office and informed her about the 120 billion space elevator plan. Although Jiang Chen had previously revealed that the cost of this project might be quite staggering, Xia Shiyu couldn't help but take a breath after hearing the figure of 120 billion.
"Do you think the company prints money? Even if many projects make money, it will take time to cash in, okay?"
Even if Future Man Group's annual turnover exceeds 100 billion and its total profit is close to 60 billion, it will still take a year to realize it. Since its establishment, Future Man Group has been expanding its business, and every step of expansion requires money.
"Didn't we open a bank?" Faced with Xia Shiyu's questioning, Jiang Chen touched his nose and smiled sheepishly.
Hearing this, Xia Shiyu sighed helplessly and explained to him patiently.
"Even if you open a bank, it doesn't mean that the money can be used casually. The space elevator... just from the name, it shouldn't be the kind of project that can recover the investment cost in the short term, right? All 120 billion funds are locked in the same On a project, this can no longer be described as risky.”
"What about borrowing money from other banks?"
"Have you considered paying back the money?"
"Of course, I not only considered repaying the money, I also considered whether the U.S. dollar would still be as valuable as it is now after the space ladder is built." Faced with Xia Shiyu's doubts, Jiang Chen said with a confident smile.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xia Shiyu opened her mouth in silence. She was just about to ask him why he said that, but having studied economics, she quickly understood the truth on her own.
When any currency can monopolize a market, the influence of this currency will radiate to other markets based on the correlation between the market and other markets.
To give a very simple example, oil settlement must be in U.S. dollars, which is one of the reasons why the U.S. dollar has become a hard currency in international trade. For now, no commodity has a greater impact on other markets than oil. Because no matter what you produce, you have to consume "oil" to transport it directly or indirectly.
If the space elevator is built, it will mean that the Halo Trade will have a monopoly on the gateway to space. Even if Starlink Trading prints its own banknotes and points to the waste paper and says that space trade must be settled with these pieces of paper in the future, governments will have to hold their noses and admit it.
It took her a long time to squeeze out a word from her throat.
"It's too risky."
"But we have a great chance of winning." Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu and said in a serious tone.
…
The space elevator plan is underway as scheduled, and Futureman Heavy Industries has begun to adjust production capacity and expand the factory for graphene track production in the Anga Island Industrial Park.
The construction plan is to first shoot materials into outer space, establish a synchronous orbital space station, and then simultaneously start the construction of the space station as a "counterweight" and lay tracks to the ground.
After the orbital part is built, there will be no need to launch rockets to transport materials to outer space. Materials can be sent directly to space using graphene orbits, which will greatly save the construction cost of the space station.
In other words, the budget of 120 billion may not be used up in the end.
At present, the space elevator base station deployed on the equator has been assembled. From a distance, it looks like a flat Rubik's cube.
For safety reasons, Star Ring Trading deployed a battalion of troops on top. Many foreign media have already smelled the news. The Future Man Group seemed to be preparing to make some big news in the Pacific, so they sent out the fastest reporters one after another.
However, in the face of media inquiries, Starring Trading and Futureman Group responded with silence, saying nothing about the purpose of this giant offshore platform. However, combined with the recent frequent space activities of Star Ring Trade, many people have vaguely guessed something, but they are not willing to believe it yet.
Space elevator
No matter what you say, this is ridiculous.
He didn't pay attention to the rumors on the Internet because Jiang Chen had more important things to do.
He does not understand the reason why he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Although under the framework of the United Nations, the five gangsters will not be as barbaric as the great powers of the Victorian era, the coveting of the space elevator will inevitably bring many unnecessary problems to the Star Ring trade. trouble.
Therefore, before the space elevator is completed, Star Ring Trading must have the strength to match it!
A week after the military exercise ended, that is, in early June, Star Ring Trading published a recruitment advertisement on its official website.
Anyone from any country who is interested in the Star Ring Trade can download the test program on the app market of the Phantom Helmet and pass the Star Ring Trade assessment in the form of a VR game. For those who pass the assessment, Xinghuan Trading will provide free air tickets for them to go to the new country for interviews.
If the interview is passed, the applicant will be incorporated into the Foreign Legion and become an employee of Star Circle Trading.
At present, the permanent population of Penglai City has exceeded 500,000, and the total population of New Zealand has exceeded 800,000. As the labor gap is gradually filled, New Zealand has begun to tighten the originally loose immigration policy and labor visas. The quantity.
It is no longer as easy as it was a year ago to immigrate to a new country.
Want to immigrate if you have no money or education? Then go be a soldier!
In line with the conscription policy of Star Circle Trade, the New Kingdom promulgated the Foreign Legion Act. Any foreign employees engaged in military-related industries in the country will be able to obtain the nationality of the New Country and become a citizen of the New Country after serving for three years. Immediate family members of foreign soldiers who have served for five years or who are killed during service can obtain the citizenship of the new country.
It is precisely because of this that when Star Ring Trading's recruitment advertisement was announced, it received tens of thousands of resumes from all over the world. Many people do not do it for the salary of several thousand dollars, but just to get the immigration qualification.
When it comes to immigration, we have to mention an interesting phenomenon.
After the completion of Penglai City, the number of immigrants from Europe gradually increased.
They are not refugees, but their reasons for immigrating are more or less refugees.
Since the EU adopted a high-pressure policy towards refugees, it has completely ignited the contradictions buried in European society. From a long-term perspective, this may help Europe escape the danger of "greening" in the future, but in the short-term it will undoubtedly exacerbate social unrest.
Terrorist attacks occur every month, and many cities, including Paris and Munich, have declared a state of emergency. Europe, with its high welfare, has been stripped of its reputation as a paradise for immigrants. Developing countries with good economic growth have become the first choice for European immigrants.
Perhaps because Western Europe is relatively cold, new countries with territories located on the edge of the equator are particularly popular with European immigrants.
In particular, immigrants from Germany and France have brought a large number of high-tech talents to the new country, including experts in the electronics industry, robotics, artificial intelligence and other fields. They have made a great contribution to the development of the new country. contribution. (.)
