What is Jiang Chen doing these days?

To sum it up simply, it's money.

And it's in billions.

The military barracks on Crescent Island, the 2,300-meter-long two-runway airport, the improvised radar base station, and the offshore platform the size of two football fields connected by a dam were completed one after another, and after the project money was delivered to the "Mammoth" company, the cash in Jiang Chen's account instantly went to 1.4 billion. Counting the $4 billion spent a few days ago, he spent 5.4 billion in just three days.

But that's not all.

In preparation for the mining of molybdenum ore, Jiang Chen injected $1 billion into Future Mining to build two semi-submersible offshore platforms in the southern waters of Anga Island through bidding.

This semi-submersible platform is often used in deep seas, and its main application is the extraction of petroleum gas, and its principle is similar to that of a submarine. The platform is built on large floating barrels, which are embedded below the surface of the water and held to the seabed by anchor chains. The bottom end of the leg below the floating bucket is designed with a balancer similar to a fishing sinker, which falls into the seawater under the platform to prevent the platform from losing its balance due to seawater swells or wind.

The advantage of this offshore platform is that it is movable, and the minerals at the bottom can be lifted and towed away by ship after mining. Jiang Chen's plan is for two soldiers and three staff to be stationed on the offshore platform to control the mining machines located on the seabed through electronic equipment. Every week, ships come to supply the offshore platform with supplies and pull away the manganese nodules that are rich in molybdenum ore.

Although the technology of mining robots is still under development, Jiang Chen believes that it will not be long before the results will be available from Vault 27. Until then, it's a good idea to build an offshore platform.

These mined manganese nodules will be pulled to Anga Island. In addition to molybdenum-rich oxides, more than 50% of the structures are composed of iron oxides and manganese oxides. In order to deal with these manganese nodules. Jiang Chen once again injected $200 million into Future Mining to build a manganese nodule treatment plant on Anga Island. A molybdenum ore refinery and a steel and aluminium plant.

The manganese nodule treatment plant breaks up the ore and does the initial sorting to produce manganese metal and molybdenum-rich slag. The slag will be sent to the molybdenum ore refinery for secondary processing to produce the molybdenum ore needed to make the VR helmet.

The steel and aluminium mills are mainly used to process iron and aluminium ores purchased from BHP Mining Group, as well as slag residues from refined manganese nodules.

The entire line is expected to be completed in three months. At that time, Anga Island will take the first step towards industrialization, and the abundant minerals will not only meet the island's demand, but even export profitably!

After the matter of Futureman Mining was dealt with, Jiang Chen then began to work on the matter of Futureman Technology Headquarters.

The location of the headquarters is on Koro Island, and in order to ensure the safety of the quantum computer, Jiang Chen spared no expense to spend $100 million to build the headquarters building. Efforts were made to make the headquarters building strong enough.

In addition, Jiang Chen, the production line of the virtual helmet, intends to be placed on the present side. After all, this is a helmet of more than a billion yuan, and he can't finish it even if he is tired. Moreover, he has to carry food and steel to the end of the world, and arms to the present world.

Since the decision has been made to produce on the present side, the safety and confidentiality of the production of virtual helmets must be carefully considered.

However, regarding this, Jiang Chen has also considered it for a long time. The offshore platform he built next to Crescent Island was built for the factory that produced this virtual helmet!

There is no safer place than next to a military base, under the scanning of wide-area radio vital signal detection devices. No agent escaped the eyes of the dozens of staff members at the radar station. Once an infiltrator with unidentified information is found, the drone will arrest or drive them away. For those who resist capture, the drone will initiate an attack procedure to neutralize them.

The production process of this virtual helmet, Jiang Chen plans to make it into an automated production mode. i.e. in addition to the conveying of raw materials. In addition to manual participation in the output of products, the production process that needs to be kept confidential is completed in the "black box". Although the cost of such an automated production line is a bit high, it is absolutely necessary for the sake of confidentiality.

The construction of the factory Jiang Chen is holding the drawings designed by Lu Huasheng. I was looking for a modern construction company to build it. There are a total of three factories, each occupying the three corners of the triangular offshore platform. The total cost is $2 million. Compared to the previous projects, it was a drizzle.

After a series of purchases, purchases, and purchases, Jiang Chen's $30 billion loan on hand used more than 6.7 billion. But he didn't feel distressed at all. Because he knows that he will soon earn back the money.

Spending money aside, if you make money, Jiang Chen has also made a lot of money these days.

Tao Ming really lived up to his expectations, and signed a supply order for 400,000 boxes of nutritional mixtures for Future Human Biology. Based on a profit of $500 per box, the profit of these 400,000 cases is $200 million.

On the other hand, Emma Watson's agent readily agreed to the endorsement contract proposed by Future Human Biotech, and immediately arranged for Emma to go to Koro Island to shoot advertisements and posters. The reason why I agreed so quickly is because of the $1 million endorsement fee, and on the other hand, I heard that I would have the opportunity to show my face in the push ads of Future Man 1.0.

Thinking about the terrifying installed capacity of Future Man 1.0, there must not be many people who will refuse to show their faces on it.

The sales business is done, and the production business naturally cannot be left behind.

In order to expand the production of nutrient mixtures, Jiang Chen made several trips to the end of the world, and brought five newly built organic synthesis furnaces and a full 10 tons of induction reagents to expand the planting area of DH seaweed.

As a result, the workers of the nutrition mixture factory began to live a nightmare overtime life. In order to complete the production task, the technician responsible for inducing the differentiation of sargassum even slept on the floor in the laboratory. Plantation boats also shuttle around the clock on the sea, and workers work in three shifts to plant DH seaweed from the factory, while fertilizing the sea fields and harvesting the newly grown algae leaves

Of course, Jiang Chen will not be less of them in overtime pay. Compared with the $200 million order, the overtime pay of less than $100,000 is simply not worth mentioning.

In order to prevent the workers from "dying of overwork", Jiang Chen instructed Zhan Shujie to recruit 60 more employees to fill the vacancies. For Zhan Shujie and Tao Ming's contributions to the development of human biology in the future, Jiang Chen also generously offered rewards.

Each person has the right to 1% dividends, which will be used as their year-end bonus. The two of them were happy to accept it, but they also worked harder.

Anyone can see the future of human life. Don't look at this dividend, it is only 1%, but according to this trend, the money in their hands every year will be tens of millions of dollars!

In the past half a month, Jiang Chen has finally experienced the feeling of being busy, and he can't wait to split himself in half to use, one half on Anga Island, and the other half back and forth between Crescent Island and Koro Island.

But after half a month of busyness, everything is finally on the right track.

However, just when Jiang Chen thought that he could finally be idle, new problems soon appeared.

Not counting the independent Transwarp Trading Company, the number of employees in the new country has reached 400 in the new country alone. Don't look at this person, there don't seem to be many people, the total population of the new country is only 20,000, and the total labor force is only 10,000.

There are basically no fishing boats on the sea in the new country, and people are employed everywhere. Infrastructure construction has led to local employment, and the original unemployment rate of Anga Island has been difficult to employ for a while.

What's more, once the development of tourism resources is completed, the labor gap will become larger and larger. Jiang Chen roughly estimated that when the Dutch construction company completed the development of tourism resources, his employees would have to increase by 2,000, and the number of jobs would be at least 5,000!

There weren't that many people working in the new country.

So, Jiang Chen set his sights on a large country that was brewing a wave of immigration.

However, his eyes were not aimed at the rich people who had sharpened their heads and ran out, but at those laborers with high Chinese and above. (To be continued.) )
