Chapter 830: The choice is yours
During the meal, several people talked about economic matters, and they were all world economies, and there was not a word about the purchase of starships.
The topic of the Celestial Empire and the United States was not mentioned at all.
A few people only talk about the economy, the customs and food of the world, and there is nothing about politics.
Xu Ping'an and Borli both know that this matter is not something that can have a result in a day or two, so don't worry, take your time.
The wine I drank tonight was a two-pot head, which was very strong, which made the faces of Borley, Musk, and the old DuPont red.
Musk has been to the Celestial Empire several times, but Erguotou is the first time to drink it, and he frowned directly after taking a sip, and soon, his face showed a comfortable expression again.
Under Xu Ping'an's drinking routines one after another, Borley, Musk, and the old Dupont, all three of them were helped away by the bodyguards, and Lan Ruisha shook her head from the sidelines.
If he had just recorded Xu Ping'an's performance with his mobile phone, he would definitely be able to occupy the first place in the hot search in many countries around the world.
Xu Ping'an was also helped away by the bodyguard, and after getting into the car, the bodyguard handed Xu Ping'an a cup of warm sugar water, Xu Ping'an drank it in one go, and then waved his hand to start the vehicle.
(Drinking some thick sugar water after drinking is very good for the body, Lao Pang has personally verified this secret recipe, it is very effective)
Tonight, Delbert and Lu Huairen also arrived in J City, and were arranged by the people of the Administration Department to rest in the hotel, and a vehicle will pick them up tomorrow to meet Xu Ping'an.
At six o'clock in the morning, Xu Ping'an woke up, kissed Miao Yiyi beside him, got up and washed up and went for a run and exercise.
After coming back from the workout and taking a shower and having breakfast, Xu Ping'an took Liu Wenjun and Dalina to the car to the company, and Miao Yiyi was still sleeping.
Miao Yiyi got off the plane at about 3 o'clock in the morning last night, and only came back from abroad, and she was very tired.
When Xu Ping'an arrived at the company, Delbert and Lu Huairen had already arrived, and they saw Xu Ping'an coming downstairs, Xu Ping'an waved to them, and the two followed Xu Ping'an upstairs.
After entering the office, Xu Ping'an took out two documents from his desk drawer and handed them to the two.
"These two documents are the same, top secret, and you are not to mention this matter to anyone"
"Take a look carefully, and ask questions directly."
After speaking, he began to make tea and drink tea skillfully, waiting for the two to ask questions.
Starship production is not something that ordinary enterprises are capable of manufacturing, and it requires a lot of skilled workers, and the skilled workers at the Dunhuang branch of the Apocalypse Group have undergone a long period of training before taking up their posts.
And there are also highly skilled veteran employees, and it takes more than three months to barely qualify.
Mechanized production of Starship, a project carried out by James in cooperation with the Apocalypse Mechanical Research Institute, has just taken shape after a few years.
It is possible to shorten the production cycle from 20 months to 11 months.
The number of employees has been reduced from more than 3,000 to more than 1,200, reducing the amount of labor by half.
Artificial intelligence management has been introduced into the entire factory, which requires more than 1,000 robotic arms of different lengths, and all aspects of the movable workshop are new technologies.
There are some conceptual drawings in the document, and these are all drawn on the drawings to be truly realized, and it can be seen that both Delbert and Lu Huairen are blind.
A scene popped up in Delbert's mind, back then, the northern giant bear used the production of cans to produce tanks, shocking the world for more than ten years.
Now that the Apocalypse Group has started this mode to produce starships, the picture is here, and Delbert doesn't dare to think about it.
The starship scene flying in the sky has appeared in Delbert's head, and in the future, the starship scene in the Star Wars movie is really no longer a fantasy.
"Mr. Xu, where are we going to build this factory?" asked Lu Huairen.
"You are the president of Tianqi Machinery Group, where do you think it is appropriate" Xu Ping'an asked rhetorically, and Lu Huairen was speechless.
"Abroad, similar to Apocalypse Island or Adrius Island," Lu Huairen said directly.
Xu Ping'an smiled and nodded, yes, Lu Huairen has grown.
"Tell me your reason," Xu Ping'an asked quietly.
"Mr. Xu, our Apocalypse Group is currently unique in starships, and it can be said that there is no company in the world that can compete with us."
"You're welcome, we have no rivals when it comes to Starship production"
"But this is only temporary, now that all countries on Earth are paying more and more attention to starships, they will definitely invest a lot of money to build starship factories."
"The United States and the Celestial Empire have begun, the European Union is also producing its own starship, and country E has a certain technology but no funds to realize it"
"These countries have great power, and we, we don't have the power to protect ourselves"
"I see that the document mentions the production of attack starships, so this factory must be built in a place where we can't restrain it."
"In this way, we can quickly produce starships and even attack starships"
"It's just that where is this location, I haven't thought of it for the time being, and I ask Mr. Xu for guidance" Lu Huairen gave all his thoughts.
Xu Ping'an nodded with satisfaction, Lu Huairen has really grown up and can continue to cultivate.
"I'm glad you can think so, you have grown a lot, but you still need to continue to grow, and you have to focus on the strategic layout planning of the entire Tianqi Group."
"The location of the new factory is in Somalia," Xu Ping'an said calmly.
After listening to Xu Ping'an's words, Lu Huairen and Delbert were directly dumbfounded, is there any mistake, Somalia, the place where the war is fought all day long.
"I object" Lu Huairen directly put forward his own opinions, not agreeing with the construction of a factory there.
"I'm against it too"
"Boss, that place is too chaotic, all kinds of forces are staggered, it's hard to guarantee that no one will have crooked thoughts, once there is something, the loss of the factory is nothing"
"We can't recover the time that can be delayed, and I firmly oppose the construction of a factory on the Somali side," Delbert also made his opinion clear.
Xu Ping'an paused for a moment, and then understood what the two meant, he was completely sure to ensure the safety of the factory, but there were some things that could not be said.
I could only frown.
"Boss, I'm suggesting we're buying an island."
"There are many island countries in the world, and there are many barren islands, these islands cannot produce for them, but everything is not a problem for us Tianqi Group, we have the ability to overcome it"
"Or, we can build a factory on the other side of the Madagascar Road."
"Madagascar has a relaxed law and no restrictions, and there are not many people, so it will definitely not meet the needs of the factory, so we can recruit people from China and send them there," Lu Huairen directly proposed a plan.
Lu Huairen has traveled to the island of Madagascar, where the population is not large, the place is very good, and the law is relatively relaxed, it is a very suitable place for development.
"Boss, I agree with Lu's opinion"
"If the boss doesn't like that, you can pick other islands, as long as it's not in Africa or other chaotic areas," Delbert said.
Xu Ping'an smiled and nodded, he said that Somalia just now was to listen to the opinions of the two of them, not to really have the intention to build the factory over there.
(Dear book friends, in reality, when the boss asks you some questions that are a little abnormal, you must not be careless, this is a test, and people who mix in the workplace must not be careless)
Xu Ping'an picked up the pen and paper on the table, wrote a few locations on it, and then handed it to Lu Huairen, "You can refer to it and see which of these locations is more suitable."
Lu Huairen took it and looked at it, then handed the piece of paper to Delbert, and soon, the three of them began to discuss.
In the imperial capital, the relevant departments began to do it, this time vigorously and resolutely, involving multiple departments.
The bigwigs have made up their minds to rectify it ruthlessly, everything is clear to the Americans, and this situation must be changed.
On the island of Aidelius, three rockets were launched and six satellites were launched, which will be deployed to the distance from Mars to Earth to form transit satellites.
When the satellites arrive at the designated location, there will be problems with two or three satellites, and it will not affect the connection between the Earth and the Mars base.
Earth, undergoing its final re-inspection, will take off to Mars in three days' time, if there are no problems.
There are 300 engineers and 12 researchers.
There are also a lot of mining equipment and various accessories and materials, which are full.
The huge warehouse on the island of Aidelius is empty, new orders have not yet been placed, and many companies are waiting for new orders from the Apocalypse Group.
In the United States, the bigwigs are discussing Borley's report in the Black House, and at the same time, there is also the report of Lanressa.
After Lan Lisa separated from Borley that night, she also submitted a separate report, the core of which was that the United States must have three starships as a matter of urgency.
The construction of the Martian base must be accelerated, and on this premise, everything must be compromised.
This time there are a lot of people, in addition to the bigwigs of the two parties, there are several other bigwigs, so to speak, the people present here today have reached a unified opinion, and everything is not a problem.
The debate was fierce, and many people were unwilling to accept Xu Ping'an's offer, but they couldn't find a suitable excuse to oppose the reasons put forward by Xu Ping'an.
Just like this time, Musk and the old DuPont both purchased Starship, but the United States directly gave 10 billion US dollars in subsidy policies.
It is more fierce than the policy given by the Celestial Empire to the Apocalypse Group, so it is difficult for you to refute the low price given by the Apocalypse Group to the Celestial Empire.
After a long time of noisy and fruitless, the first boss rubbed his head and knocked on the table with "Dangdangdang", and everyone quieted down.
"Gentlemen, I want you to consider a question when arguing"
"Can you accept that the United States loses in this space competition, if you can accept it, then please vote no, we will not buy Starship, we will slowly produce it ourselves"
"I remind you that the representatives of the European Union will make a trip tomorrow, and the destination is the Celestial Empire, content, and negotiate with the Apocalypse Group to purchase Starship"
"Gentlemen, if you don't care about the actions of the European Union, I will tell you one more thing"
"Representatives of country E will also make a trip to the Celestial Empire in the near future, Australia and New Zealand will jointly organize a delegation to the Celestial Empire, and the two countries will jointly purchase an interstellar spacecraft, intending to establish their own Mars base."
"The Japanese delegates will leave for the Celestial Empire today, and their decision to reduce government spending by 20 percent and open up private donations to raise funds for the purchase of starships shows their determination."
"There are also those tyrant countries floating on oil, under the leadership of King Adnan of the XX Kingdom, they also plan to jointly form a group to buy, with the goal of two"
"Launch the Mars base program, future them"
"In the future, the country that has the right to speak will definitely be the country with the starship, the number of starships, the size of the Mars base, these are all factors that affect the status of a country"
"We have now reached a crossroads, whether to move forward or fall behind, the choice is in your hands" The first boss leaned back after speaking, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
