Chapter 389 Investment Location [Three Changes]
(1st addition)
……
The problem of the tiger going abroad is basically solved, and An Feng has other considerations.
Since the robotics company's bionic technology has made great progress, it has met the requirements of mass production, but Anfeng asked Hoffmann to continue the research and development of the second generation after the first generation of technology was completed. That is, more flexible, leaner, and able to accept the control of a central brain.
What can be controlled collectively is what Anfeng needs. So although the robot has made a huge breakthrough, the company is still keeping a low profile, and they are aiming for the second generation of robots. The company's stated purpose is to serve the society, does not involve any military technology, and is only an intelligent home nanny.
said that it is so far, in fact, the robot is about to be mass-produced, but An Feng has not yet found a suitable place. The pit being dug in the Texas hunting ground is counted as one, and according to the original plan, it is necessary to set up more than one robot base, and in case of any emergency, it must be mobilized in all directions.
An Feng plans to set up a second base in Africa, ostensibly for the research and development of industrial machinery and nuclear energy -- the research of nuclear fusion is not strictly controlled by the United States, because the technology is difficult to achieve. But with the advent of superconductors, confined thermonuclear reactions have come one step closer to success.
The fuel deuterium needed for thermonuclear reactions is abundantly stored in seawater, and 30 milligrams of deuterium can be extracted from 1 liter of seawater. It is not appropriate to place all the considerations related to the technology and cost of seawater extraction fuel in the United States.
After thinking about it, An Feng still felt that the robot industry and nuclear industry should be placed in Africa, in Tanzania, which he is more familiar with. After the robot is formed, the manual labor will be removed and replaced by a robot to take charge of the operation. He is connected through Bazel. Get in touch with the President of Tanzania.
An Feng said he wants to invest in factories in coastal areas to engage in research and development of smart industries, as well as clean power generation and desalination technologies. The initial investment amount is about 300 million US dollars, which will bring hundreds of jobs to the local area, and also drive the local economic development.
The negotiations went well, and Hassan wished that there would be businesses to invest and pay taxes to promote the local economy. An Feng said wildly. The Robot Corps is said to be a smart industry, and nuclear energy is said to be a clean power generation...... Flickered and passed. Hassan welcomed the big foreign project on the phone.
Hassan concluded: "Our land management department will assist you in finding a suitable place to invest. ”
"Thank you, Mr. President. Hope we can have a successful cooperation. An Feng said.
After this is done, the next step is the choice of location, the environment in Africa is not good, especially in tropical countries. Hot all year round. Choose a location that is a little cooler and close to the tourist area...... The coast of Zanzibar is nice and you can go on vacation to the island if you are bored.
After having an idea, An Feng found employees who were willing to go to the local area to engage in scientific research.
Everyone is still a little hesitant to go to Africa, and those with families are reluctant to separate, and even if they can bring their families to work, the local conditions are not very good. But in the face of success, there are still people who are willing to have the opportunity to eat and wear for the rest of their lives. One of the members of the nuclear power project team is named Bill. Researcher Cook's list of Anfeng. He is happy and willing to lead his R&D team to the local area.
Actually, even if they go over there. It's also very comfortable, and the construction is naturally not done by them, not to mention that it can't be done, isn't it? At most, after the United States determines the correctness of the technology, it will go to Africa for half a year, and then command the construction team to complete the task and return to the United States.
The choice of the construction team, An Feng fancy China's overseas engineering construction enterprises, white people are too lazy, and the price is high, definitely can't do this kind of thing, or China's engineering construction is real, no matter how bad the conditions, as long as there is a project can be challenged and completed, the price is reasonable.
After the whole process was conceived, An Feng handed over the task to his team and asked them to plan carefully.
In late October, An Feng went to China to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the "Blues Racing Foundation" in S City, with a capital of 300 million yuan, and currently has more than 20 people, and An Feng also invited Shang Xiong and his friends. The elites are responsible for the fund's profits, but how do you choose the targets of aid?
This point still has to be managed by professionals who are familiar with racing, An Feng gave Shangxiong several part-time positions, the salary is very good, no need to come to work all day, or even half a year, they are responsible for finding and funding the racing team in need, and spend the profits of the foundation.
Shangxiong is very satisfied with this part-time job, although he will be fired if he does not do well...... But at least the team received assistance from the Foundation, which allowed them to prepare more parts for the car, make professional modifications, and have the funds to practice on the track...... The goal is to participate in the national competition next year.
With these things done, An Feng returned to California to prepare for this mission-filled trip to Africa.
……
There was a lot of work, but it was finally done in early November.
The team to Africa is concentrated at Los Angeles International Airport, and the Brulane family's domineering Boeing 787-VIP business jet is ready, and is currently parked in a dedicated stand for loading.
The inspection of the tiger went smoothly, with both the advance greeting from the state government and the signature of the animal research institute, and even a dinosaur would be allowed to leave the country...... The rest of the people got on the plane one after another to experience the luxury of converting an aircraft capable of carrying 300 people into a capacity of 50 people.
Six flight attendants were in place, and there were many guests this time, An Feng and his wife, three assistants and five bodyguards, eight Americans who rushed to the African Animal Research Institute, and Ann's Industries Bill. Cook led ten employees. Once everyone had arrived, the plane was ready to depart.
Large planes have a lot of take-off procedures, but fortunately, the luxurious planes allow them to divert their attention and not feel the passage of time, and only return to their respective seats after hearing the prompts of the sweet voice of the flight attendant. The first destination of the plane was New York, and if you fly directly from Los Angeles to the destination, the distance is more than 17,000 kilometers, and even a large plane like the 787 cannot reach the destination in one go.
The plane landed in New York and was expected to take more than 20 hours. It's a challenge for passengers, but fortunately, the seats on luxury aircraft are first-class and can be laid down and half-reclined all the way. Anfeng is more comfortable here. In addition to the room, there is also a bathroom where you can take a bath.
Everyone was more excited when flying overhead in the United States, going around, watching big-screen movies, or going to a bar for a drink, listening to music, landing in New York six or seven hours later, and waking up An Feng came to the cargo hold through a special channel. Take the food and feed the tigers.
Xiaobai stayed in the iron cage honestly, very uncomfortable with the crowding here, and shouted in a low voice when he saw An Feng. As if telling his grievances, An Feng smiled and touched its head: "It's over, and you will have a long, long vacation then." ”
"Let's eat first." An Feng threw a piece of fresh meat specially brought on the plane into the cage.
Xiaobai seemed to understand, and when he saw the meat, he had a great appetite. Tear it up refreshingly. The cage was also packed with a bang, protesting against these sturdy things, An Feng stayed with it for a while, and he couldn't release it until the plane left the United States. You have to put it back in before you land.
Two hours later, the plane took off again.
The voice of the flight attendant sounds, reporting the destination, flight distance and time, flight speed and flight altitude. And fly 13,000 kilometers. The rest of the road was spent sleeping. Including the little white who was released, occupying a large sofa. Lazily dozing.
An Feng adjusted the light in the room to night, slept in a comfortable environment, and when the flight attendant's radio prompt sounded, the destination was about to arrive, and the flight attendant did not dare to wake up the tiger, although it looked harmless to humans and animals, but the size was too terrifying, and An Feng could only wake up.
The plane finally landed in a city called Dar es Salaam off the coast of Tanzania. The country's capital is in terrible condition in all respects, the airport cannot land the 787, and only the largest city has a long enough runway. After the plane made contact with the control tower, it landed smoothly on the airport.
followed by the unloading and customs inspection, in order to entertain investors from afar, the president sent special personnel to receive them, and even people helped An Feng handle such things as tipping. After the unloading was completed, they stayed at a local hotel at noon.
The eight Americans who took the downwind plane said goodbye first, and they already had a shuttle plane.
The rest went to the hotel. The local tourism conditions are not bad, although Africa is poor, but it is not a mess, this city of six million people is quite modern, there are many resort hotels, and the hotel where An Feng stays claims to have the largest outdoor swimming pool in the city, which can soak in fresh water and overlook the Indian Ocean.
But everyone didn't care about the pool and rested early. Joanna took out the biological drink she brought, drank a whole bottle, and slept for an hour with the air conditioner blowing, and when she woke up, she was already radiant, her whole person regained her previous vitality, and she went into the water to swim for a while.
The real work was pushed to the next day.
In the morning, An Feng took his assistant and the professional team of An's Industries, followed the representatives sent by the government to start looking for suitable land. As the largest city and an important port in East Africa, Dar es Salaam is home to many foreign goods and has a high level of industry.
The environment is very good, there are ports and airports that can dock large planes, it is very convenient for future cargo transportation, it is fifty or sixty kilometers away from Zanzibar Island, and the tourist environment is also very good...... After a day of inspection, the accompanying professionals recommended the southern coast of the city.
"The land is flat, there are excellent beaches around, the water is turquoise, there are roads nearby, and the environment is quiet, which is very suitable for investment." The government entertainer politely introduced that I am afraid that he still does not know how much it has to do with whether the construction of an industrial base is good or not, and whether the sea is green or not.
The experts of Ann's Industries had a high evaluation, and finally An Feng also decided that they needed an industrial park with a coastline of one kilometer and a total area of about 800 acres, which was mainly used for the development of smart industries, the construction of thermonuclear reactors and desalination plants.
The government is naturally happy that such a large piece of land has to pay a lot of taxes every year, and if there are business activities, corporate income tax and other taxes must also be paid, and then there are local jobs or something, which will bring a lot of economy and help to increase GDP.
Mr. An handed over the matter to three assistants and the professionals present, who made plans, calculated investment funds, and negotiated with the government. As for An Feng, he is naturally in no mood to participate in the grinding and financial calculations here. He just needs the final result, and he is satisfied with the signing.
Then he can get ready to go for a tiger walk. (To be continued......)
