In the United States, two Starship factories under construction are working day and night, and it is also planned to introduce Guge's artificial intelligence system.

The construction idea is the same as that of Tianqi Group, with a movable construction workshop, introducing a large number of robotic arms, mechanized production, and speeding up the construction speed.

Time passed slowly, Xu Ping'an returned to the J City headquarters, and just went to work today, Huo Minghai came to find Xu Ping'an.

Xu Ping'an beckoned Huo Minghai to sit down and chatted while drinking tea.

"Mr. Xu, we have to control it, according to my calculations, excluding the starship orders received this year, our net profit this year will hit a new low"

"It's not a good thing that profits have been declining for three consecutive years," Huo Minghai said seriously.

Xu Ping'an was stunned, has it really come to this point, how can it drop so much.

"Do you know what the reason is," Xu Ping'an asked.

"The profits of the energy group have decreased, and the decline is not small, and I have communicated with Bulson, and the biggest reason is that the market is saturated."

"After years of development, solar panels, wind energy equipment, and hydrogen energy industry have almost become popular."

"We need new profit growth points," Huo Minghai said directly.

"What is the status of the other branches?" Xu Ping'an asked.

"The other divisions have not changed much, and Tianqi Logistics Group has only maintained a slight profit so far this year, and it will take time to achieve a substantial increase in profits."

"The profits of Tianqi Chemical Group are also declining, because of the popularity of small single-person attack submarines around the world in recent years, all countries have reduced their naval staffing"

"The sales of super paint began to decline, taking orders from the United States as an example, it fell by half, and there are ................," Huo Minghai told him everything he had learned.

"We need to open up new financial routes," Huo Minghai immediately added.

Although Huo Minghai said this, he was not very anxious in his heart, even if the net profit of the Apocalypse Group declined, it was still arrogant.

It's still much higher than other international giants.

It's just that Xu Ping'an focuses on the development of space, and he spends too much money.

Huo Minghai said this today, the meaning is very simple, I hope Xu Ping'an will control his investment in space and stabilize it.

Although he knows the grand strategy of the Apocalypse Group, it is really crazy for the Apocalypse Group to spend money recently, and Huo Minghai, who has always been steady, is a little worried.

It doesn't cost much to buy a small island, but you can purchase equipment and various engineering construction, and it is not too much to describe it as spending money like flowing water.

Xu Ping'an thought seriously for a while, shook his head, it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches for the time being, once a new product is launched, it will definitely cause turmoil in the industry.

In terms of the current international situation, this is something that many countries do not want to see, including the Celestial Empire, country E, the United States, and Europe.

"The products of the chemical group need to be upgraded, I will talk to Miao Yong about this, we are not without a new generation of products, but this product has been mothballed"

"Now, it's time to withdraw this product," Xu Ping'an said directly.

"What kind of product is it," Huo Minghai asked curiously.

"Super nano paint, sprayed on the surface of the submarine, has the effect of reducing the detection of the submarine by sonar detection"

"Once put into the market, all the sonar detectors of the military of various countries will be eliminated, and all of them will be replaced with new sonar systems, which may not be a good thing for us," Xu Ping'an said, rubbing his head.

Huo Minghai nodded, the number of submarines of the Apocalypse Group is about forty, and they are all one generation ahead of the market, this kind of submarine is not for sale, only for the internal use of the Apocalypse Group.

The security company once conducted an experiment that a new generation of submarines could sail next to the American fleet, just 500 meters away, and the American fleet did not even detect it.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the new generation of submarines as a ghost of the bottom of the sea.

Moreover, it is still being upgraded, and the research and development of a new generation of submarines at the Antarctic base has not stopped and has been ongoing.

"How profitable is the Golden Grass over there," Xu Ping'an asked.

"The profit is very good, and it will hit a new high this year"

"It's just that I heard the news that someone proposed to impose a tobacco tax on Golden Grass," Huo Minghai said directly.

"I don't know whether I live or die, I'll solve this matter," Xu Ping'an said with a gloomy face.

Wu Sikai told Xu Ping'an about this last year, and someone planned to promote this matter, Xu Ping'an kept an eye on it, but he didn't do it when he saw that these people didn't move.

Now that even Huo Minghai has heard about it, it is obvious that these people are planning to do something.

Huo Minghai was relieved when he heard Xu Ping'an say this, as the financial director of Tianqi Group, Huo Minghai knew a lot more things than ordinary.

"By the way, do we have any unannounced public welfare projects this year?" Xu Ping'an asked again.

"There are three more, one is to build a large freshwater reservoir on the Dunhuang side, which cost about 7.6 billion Celestial Dynasty coins"

"Build a large wind tower from Dunhuang to Tibet, and then extend to the central region to build more than 500 large wind towers, intervene in the climate project in the central region, with a total investment of about 5.8 billion Tianchao coins"

"There is also a plan to assist several countries in Africa to build forest corridors, which will cost about 500 million euros," Huo Minghai skillfully took out the project and the cost.

Xu Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Only the reservoir project will be retained, and the wind tower project and the aid to Africa project will all be cancelled, and we will talk about it later."

"Mr. Xu, the aid to Africa project was pulled by the people above," Huo Minghai reminded.

"Truth be told, there's no money"

"If you have an opinion, let them come to me," Xu Ping'an said unceremoniously.

Huo Minghai pursed his lips and was silent, Xu Ping'an made a resolution and implemented it himself.

Continue to maintain their own principles, and do not participate in business matters.

After chatting for a while, Huo Minghai returned to his finance department and directly began to adjust, transferring the funds from the two canceled public welfare projects to the reserve fund.

Then start preparing the materials and want to submit them to the relevant departments.

Enterprises do public welfare projects need to submit project plans to the relevant departments in advance, which involves many aspects, and if you withdraw, you also need to report the materials to the relevant departments in advance.

Soon, the materials earned to the administration department, and the people in the administration department began to take the materials and submit them to the relevant departments.

Only in the past two days, Yuan Shiping saw the report and ran to Tianqi Group to see Xu Ping'an.

The reason for the withdrawal written on the material is simple, funds are tight.

International jokes, you Apocalypse Group is short of funds, ask the people on the earth, who will believe this reason.

Xu Ping'an beckoned Yuan Shiping to sit down and drink tea, and after listening to Yuan Shiping's intention, he directly reported three numbers, and Yuan Shiping was dumbfounded.

How is it possible that the profits of the Apocalypse Group have fallen sharply for three consecutive years.

"It's really so serious," Yuan Shiping had a disbelieving expression.

"Mayor, seriously, I didn't believe it was true when I saw it"

"You can go and investigate the market, see how the market is selling, and you can tell if I'm telling a lie."

"I, Tianqi Group, must open source and reduce expenditure"

"If we open source, it will subvert traditional industries and cause economic turmoil at home and abroad, so I can only throttle," Xu Ping'an said with a helpless expression.

"But these two projects are only about one billion euros, you really want to cancel," Yuan Shiping said directly.

"It's okay without canceling"

"I had no choice but to lay off employees"

"If you don't agree with that, then I'll open source"

"The impact and turmoil caused by the subversion of the market, I Tianqi Group are not responsible," Xu Ping'an said very calmly.

"When have you ever been responsible?"

"When your solar panels were launched, the solar panels of the Celestial Empire already accounted for more than 80% of the world's share."

"As a result, your carbon crystal solar panels were driven into a bottomless abyss in one fell swoop, more than a dozen large groups went bankrupt, and hundreds of thousands of workers lost their jobs"

"The state spends a lot of money to subsidize the living problems of laid-off people and the problem of reemployment, what responsibility do you pay?"

"And hydrogen energy, have you ever thought about what the employees will do with the two barrels of oil when you kill them?"

"What about the Golden Grass Project, I don't need to tell you how big the impact is."

"You are responsible, what responsibility do you bear, I'll listen to it" Yuan Shiping replied directly.

"Wait a minute, the solar panel project caused the impact I admit, the latter two I admit"

"Two barrels of oil dumped millions of employees at that time, don't say you don't know this"

"Impacting the tobacco industry, don't forget your identity, you are the chairman of the J City Smoking Cessation Committee, smoking is harmful to health, but Golden Grass does not have such a problem"

"I'm here to make people healthy"

"Why, you still want people to smoke every day and be unhealthy" Xu Ping'an will immediately retort.

Yuan Shiping was directly stunned, Xu Ping'an really couldn't refute these two points, and as the chairman of the smoking cessation committee, he really couldn't refute this sentence.

Yuan Shiping took a deep breath and said, "Peace, I have a proposal, you listen to it."

"You say, I'll listen to you," Xu Ping'an said directly.

"Global warming is getting worse, and it's not as big as it used to be, but it's still on the rise, you know that very well."

"China's meteorological experts have also collectively demonstrated that with climate change, there will be extreme weather with high temperature and high pressure in China's headquarters area"

"Spread around Province Y, we are the hardest hit area, and if we don't change, the place we are in now will become a barren land"

"We can divert the rich water from the south, and at the same time, we must adjust the temperature and pressure in the central region to create a circulation of the atmosphere."

"If you want to accomplish this, you must build enough wind towers, and this is also the plan proposed by your Apocalypse Group research."

"Now your profits are falling, we can divide it into three inputs, the state invests a part, the surrounding provinces invest a part, and you invest a part"

"The specific implementation of the wind tower plan is still led by your Tianqi Group, and we will not interfere"

"How do you see this program, it can be used as a large-scale public welfare project of your Tianqi Group every year"

"As for the project in Africa, if you cancel it, cancel it, I won't say anything," Yuan Shiping directly said his plan.

Xu Ping'an thought for a while, the large-scale wind tower project is not only a public welfare project, the reason why Tianqi Group proposed this project is to carry out air convection atmospheric chemical reaction experiments.

It's just that this purpose can't be stated, and it can only be done in the name of public welfare.

The air convection experiment is a project set up to quickly establish an artificial atmosphere after the reconstruction of the Martian magnetic field, which is very important, and Xu Ping'an would not have stopped this project if it were not for the current reduction in profitability.
