Chapter 490: Visiting the United States
Many of the projects that Anfeng invested in at the beginning are now under construction.
It can be said that the whole country is building a lot of construction, the ports with the most frequent contact with the outside world are operating 24 hours a day, building materials and other goods are constantly arriving from all over the world, super-large cargo ships are constantly coming and going, and investors from all over the world are frequently targeting here.
The various enterprises he considered are moving in one after another, and the high-tech economic zone in Cagliari is also under construction, which used to be a quiet vineyard, but now it is a construction site in full swing, with tens of billions of dollars invested, the royal family accounting for the majority of the investment funds, and the rest are local investors.
Some companies began to operate, and according to the statistics of the immigration and immigration departments, 20,000 work visas were issued in the first quarter, most of which were run by the royal family, attracting outstanding employees from all over the world. They are also potential targets for immigrants.
There are different races and nationalities, and employees are selected by the company to come willingly. Although Sardinia's economy is not at the top, it is a developed country, and the environment is good. Employees in Europe don't mind coming to work here, and those in North America don't have a problem.
As for developed countries, the Ministry of Finance has published the national economic figures for the previous year.
In the most intuitive GDP, reaching 85 billion US dollars, the per capita GDP is 56,600 US dollars, which is already a highly developed level on a per capita basis, but the number of the first year is not indicative, and the largest contribution to GDP is the joint ventures and foreign enterprises controlled by the royal family.
BD Europe, which is only responsible for southern Europe, brings in $35 billion in revenue, and it has only been in operation for less than two quarters, and other companies have only started operating in the fourth quarter, so there is a lot of room for growth. The original economy was around $30 billion.
The world economic media talk about Sardinia's economy, although the total amount is inconspicuous, but there is a basis that no one can ignore - many of their enterprises have just been established, their foreign trade policy is not yet clear, they are expected to join the United Nations this year, and other organizations will have to be postponed.
The outside world made bold predictions. Next year, Sardinia's economy will skyrocket, and it will last for five years before it will stabilize, and then it will be the real economic strength of Sardinia. It is expected that it will likely exceed $150 billion next year, and the per capita GDP will also reach a strong level of $100,000.
No matter what the outside world is, the government is still very cool, tens of billions of taxes, and the wallet is bulging.
After there is more money, the behavior is also generous, and the expenditure items of national defense and military come out. Guri of the National Defense Committee proposed the project of purchasing exoskeletons, and the government continued to give an allocation of 100 million euros, and the list with him came, but he still negotiated the price with An Feng in advance.
"Fifty adjustable standard combat exoskeletons for a unit price of 600,000 euros." Guri's idea is this.
"How do you ask me to calculate the profit?" An Feng said.
Guli said: "This is for the future, the mentality of the capitalists can be reined in first, and later when the government has money, I will continue to let them buy some highly profitable goods." Although Ann's Industry has a monopoly on its own military industry, sooner or later other competitors will appear......"
"Okay." An Feng didn't want to grind his tongue anymore. "The order of 30 million is okay, find a time to sign a contract with the person in charge, and produce it immediately."
"I just like that." Guri shook his hand, "If nothing else, I'm going to get busy." ”
"Wait. The number of troops has been expanding recently? An Feng asked.
"About 120 civilians were recruited." "The rest is left untouched, and according to your business strategy, two thousand people are enough." ”
"It's so pitiful to hear you say." An Feng smiled, "Wait until I have time." Show you something fun, guaranteed to be more fun than training people. ”
"Jiqì people?" Guri asked.
An Feng said: "The intelligent machine is much stronger than humans in all aspects. ”
An Feng didn't say anything specific, and continued to hang his appetite. But the idea is that the national defense force is made up of a part of people and machines, and this can change a lot -- including courage and audacity. Let the Italian soldiers go to war, An Feng never counted on it. And if it is the machine qì people who go to the front line, and they control the rear, it is different.
But this plan is not a one-time plan, it has to be carried out slowly.
……
When I arrived in May, I was ready to visit the United States.
This time, I also brought officials and company representatives to talk about politics and business, and then we had to continue the behavior of the two brothers and sisters...... That's how it is. Fortunately, Joanna doesn't have to worry about it, she just needs to understand the government's attitude towards a certain country, how she should behave it.
Countries that are close to them naturally have more smiles, but those with less good relationships...... The queen will not visit Wèn either. The expressions she often practiced were endowed with various meanings, and the government's decisions and attitudes were the key to the use of her expressions. In fact, being a queen is also a bit tiring.
Sleep in the room and get up to get ready after being woken up. The plane is about to enter US airspace. The United States sent fighter jets to escort the plane, and two warplanes on the left and right escorted the Queen's plane into US airspace and landed at the airport in Maryland, followed by a similar airport welcome.
Statistics show that more than 150 million Americans support them, accounting for 45% of the U.S. population, and their influence is good. So when they arrived, the crowd at the scene was also very enthusiastic, some people cheered their names, and when they stood in a row to shake hands, men and women saluted.
Although Americans do not have the traditional culture of Europe, the etiquette is okay, the men nod and bow, the women curtst their knees and shake hands, and they treat both Joanna and An Feng. Then the car went to Washington, D.C., which was also closed some time in advance, and the convoy immediately returned to order.
The President of the United States held a grand welcome ceremony for the Queen at the White House, and then there was a meeting with the citizens in a row of stations, both adults and children, and everyone was very excited, obviously not from the arrested. There are also children waving the flags of the two countries in their hands...... This emotional card is well played.
But Her Majesty the Queen is not like the heads of other countries, everyone has to shake hands, first she is a lady, and secondly, she is the monarch, so she has a lot of independent choice. She picks out some cute children, and the chubby-faced little girl is the most pleasing to her, and so is the little Shota.
After the process, it was followed by talks at the White House.
Because of An Feng and the consortium, the government is not very enthusiastic about the United States, because the current American economy is not very bright, and secondly, the consortium does not like this government very much, the consortium of royal representatives, which also affects the country. Conversations also focused on more polite exchanges.
The U.S. has a lot of projects that want to work with Sardinia -- they have their eye on Ann's Industries.
Joanna also gave an ambiguous answer, specifically asking the company representatives to talk about it, she is the queen, but has no right to decide the company's operations. Although everyone knows that her husband is the boss of the company. But if you don't mess with others, it doesn't mean that others don't watch out for you.
The conversation was a bit cold, and each topic ended in one or two sentences, which could not be deepened.
It wasn't until the dinner at the White House in the evening, after being in a freer setting, that the emotional card continued to be played. The president's wife was tasked with the task, and she positioned herself as an admirer of the two and admired them. Then I was looking forward to the upcoming Hollywood semi-biopic "SFV".
As soon as this topic came, Joanna became interested.
The First Lady said: "The whole world knows that you and your husband played a role in that unforgettable disaster, but when it comes to the details, words cannot tell the whole story." So I think this movie will definitely make the whole truth clear. ”
"I want it to be a wake-up call to humanity that it's important to stay awake in the face of disaster," Joanna said. ”
"There are some things in this disaster that should not have happened, and there have been unnecessary casualties, which are a wake-up call," the first lady said. ”
In the midst of the disease, millions of people died not by the virus, but in all kinds of chaos. This topic has been controversial in society. According to Hollywood's habit, it will definitely show some of the plots of human infighting. Listening to them, even An Feng was looking forward to it.
There are no cameras at the dinner, the environment is relatively relaxed, there is a lot of conversation, and there are even things about the world's largest cruise ship, An Feng did not expect that the influence of the Queen II has spread to the ears of the President of the United States, according to this trend, the future operation may be very good.
This visit to Wèn can also be regarded as an exposure to the wind direction of the United States.
Now the domestic economy in the United States is not very good, the reason is naturally that the consortium has made them cold, but the Texas consortium has also become a victim, which is no one to blame. In the end, it is An Feng's group of behind-the-scenes people who benefit, even if he is not in the United States, he can still influence here.
The U.S. government, for its part, hopes to attract high-tech investment.
However, there is little hope, the current business structure is very suitable, the focus of the consortium is in Asia, Europe and North America are saturated, Asia and South America are potential points, and the development plan of the consortium is in the next 50 years. After profiting from the crisis, this huge amount of money began to be settled.
The list of high-tech can't be done, but other aspects are still possible, such as the output of 3D printer technology relaxed by Ann's Industries, and even aspects involving the military industry. Previously, they had already shared technology with China, and Russia also had intentions, and it was not far from the United States. (To be continued......)
