Chapter 263: Dreams Come True

The two cities of Future City and Free City have become "sister cities", and the direction of their future development will be complementary to each other. Villefranche focuses on tourism and entertainment. And then complement other areas and build them in an all-round way.

There are so many problems with development that two people can never complete. But they also have a strong team, and artificial intelligence will help them. The AI will also design the two cities in advance as special versions of the virtual world for the requirements of megacities.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the VR industry, the device launched a regular version last month, and the total order volume has exceeded 100 million, bringing at least 60 billion US dollars in revenue! It is expected to reach 500 million! It is worthy of being the most profitable electronics industry on the planet, and has repeatedly created miracles.

After years and many high-tech innovations, VR companies have spent $22 billion to build a faster and higher compression cloud network, covering all aspects of ground cables, base station electromagnetic waves, and satellites.

Cloud services have also brought more than 300 million users, and will definitely exceed 500 million in the future, which can bring more than 20 billion revenue to the company every year; There are also new types of virtual and intelligent search and advertising businesses, which will also bring huge business opportunities...... VR company, became a miracle.

At the end of this month, the company launched two virtual worlds in one go: Future City and Liberty City.

The two cities are interconnected and have supersonic airlines that users need to travel by supersonic planes; The area is also surrounded by a high-speed rail system, with smart devices and wireless charging stations lining the streets. Silent electric vehicles shuttle through it.

When players loaded into the city, they were blown away.

Refer to the virtual world of the past. All of them are built in the current environment, and now there are two futuristic cities. With all kinds of new technologies, many users feel like they don't know anything and don't know how to use it...... Immediately boil up.

"Explore the third issue, discover 'Jurassic Park'! - An explorer posted that he drove to the countryside and found a huge dinosaur park!

"Personal Information Implanted in Chips, Bound to DNA, Eliminated All Paper Money Systems? There are also people who concentrate on the urban system and find a lot of differences.

Ultra-luxury casino. Super 7-star room, super undersea city...... This crazy world! The hedonists have also found their paradise.

A lot of discussion posts revolve around these two cities.

Even Meng Qian and Tiger are immersed in the fantasy city brought by AI, and they and their families are connected to each other and stroll the streets of the city together.

"This is what the two cities will look like in the future?" Erica stands on the observation deck of the tallest building in Future City, looking out over the bustling and busy city.

"Strive to move in that direction." Tiger can't guarantee that the AI's imagination and hands-on abilities are wild, and there are too many technologies beyond their expectations.

Whether it will be possible or not is uncertain.

But Natalia is confident: "90% of the technology is based on the present and the speed of development. Five years later, there is hope that the blueprint will be realized. ”

"We're going to need more computers." Meng Qian thought quickly, because the ability of AI to work in the electronic world is closely related to the strength of computers.

"Graphene chips can be put into use next year." Natalia replied.

"I'm looking forward to it." Meng Qian walked to the edge of the fence. Looking at the city - it was really a magnificence that could not be expressed in words, he imagined everything, and he didn't expect it.

"I think of one." Wang Manwen said to everyone. "The city that is launched now is something that many people like, and it will be realized in reality in the future. Everyone's reaction? ”

"I'm going to love it." Sandra said.

"I'm moving in." Gong Hui also liked it very much, "I want to occupy an island off the coast of Liberty City." Enjoy the turquoise waters and soft sand. ”

"And my zoo!" Lili's voice, she also shared with the other two children: "My dad said to raise a lot of dinosaurs, we can ride!" ”

"I'm going to be a dragon knight!" Andrew held his head high.

"Does it bite?" Gloria was a little less daring.

The adults laughed as they listened to the children's playful conversations...... But this virtual scene also strengthened their confidence in building this kind of city in the future.

The super-rich who have money and nowhere to spend it finally find something serious to do.

This idea has won the support of the Meng family and the Stone family, and it is not only beneficial to the ideal, but also to the more complex future and family inheritance.

It is also a priority at the inner core of the Brotherhood. They already have more than 100,000 members, a huge influence, and many industries, and their help is useful.

Based on the current discussion and popularity on the Internet, there will definitely be no shortage of elite immigrants in these two cities in the future, and a better society will be confirmed.

……

Put away the future and base yourself on reality.

Both cities needed to start from scratch, and Meng Qian and Tiger laid out the first phase of the plan: five years. The two expect to invest $80 billion in advanced technology; The fraternity fund and the investment of the members can also raise 20 billion. On average, $20 billion is invested every year.

On average, these two billionaires need to contribute $8 billion a year, but now Meng Qian pays more than $12 billion in dividends every year, and the money is too much to spend; As for the Stone family, there is also a lot of money, and the industry they cooperate with will be even more profitable. There is no financial pressure on both sides.

What's more, if the sister city succeeds in twenty years, they, as chiefs, landowners, and largest investors, will reap the rewards exponentially - investing 50 billion now, maybe 100 billion or more in the future, and chiefdom privileges!

If you have money, you have to plan your investment.

To build a city (refer to China), the cost per kilometer of expressways is 80 million yuan, and the cost of first-class highways is 30 million; A 30-storey office building costs 300 million, a middle school costs 200 million, and a university costs 800 million; Various government departments, such as police, post offices, telecommunications companies, etc., 2 billion.

(There are too many to list)

Based on a population of 500,000, it will be about 30 billion. to build a modern city; Meng Qian has a budget of 50 billion US dollars, about 310 billion yuan. The budget is ten times the domestic standard; The tax revenue generated will also be used for urban development.

It's obvious. It's burning money to play.

They want to burn money to build a dream city like Dubai.

To be sure, the future of these two cities is much broader than Dubai's. Meng Qian has advanced technology and intelligence, which will also bring countless leading technologies, and it is invincible in this alone; The abundant natural resources and climatic conditions are also countless times better than the desert in Dubai.

If Dubai can succeed, why can't sister cities?

With the support of the super-rich, large conglomerates and fraternities, the Sister City project was launched.

First, the most basic aspect: infrastructure. Speed and quality are required here, and Meng Qian recommends China's construction team – perhaps China is lacking in high-end industries. But in terms of infrastructure construction, especially overseas construction groups, it is definitely at the level of hanging.

Whether it is building islands, bridges or roads, the speed is not ordinarily fast, and the quality is outstanding enough (refer to overseas, the main reason why it is not good in China is corruption, and the money is not used to the point). There is an unspoken rule that is: ask for money internally, and don't be ashamed; If you want to face the outside world, you don't need money.

Even if it is a country with a short catty or two, it is just as strong, such as the former north. Kyo replaced the bridge deck. It was done in less than 48 hours, and some foreign countries on the Internet said that it would take half a year in their country...... In terms of infrastructure, Meng Qian stands from the perspective of justice. are very happy to recommend China.

As long as you find those construction supervisors in Germany and the United States, you can ensure that these state-owned enterprises are absolutely faceless! It is better to lose money than to make the face project bigger and stronger...... Tiger after listening to Meng Qian's description. The infrastructure construction of the two cities was tendered by Chinese companies.

Covering a huge land area of 20,000 square kilometers. This business will bring a lot of foreign exchange: a kilometer of highways costs 100 million (mountainous), bridges, buildings, etc. At least hundreds of billions of dollars will be generated. This news has been transmitted back, and the enterprises that are eager to go out have come to the momentum.

The blueprint also allowed Natalia to extract from the two cities in the virtual world, and then let the professionals make a small number of real-life modifications. In the end, it was only a few changes, because Natalia had a lot of knowledge about design, and she was already very good.

Once everything was ready, the tendering process began immediately.

Then we will think about the direction of urban development.

The construction of industrial and agricultural infrastructure is the most difficult to start in the poor and white areas. China spent a lot of energy and time on the foundation, which is not enough until now...... But Meng Qian has advantages: Western consortia and brotherhoods. It means that the industrial base of developed countries can be transplanted.

It is easy to build a city with money, but it is difficult to develop the industrial chain! Meng Qian has many high-tech industries, and they must be built on a sound industrial foundation -- at least half of the hundreds of billions of dollars invested in the SEZs will be used on an industrial basis, and all of them will be transplanted from the West.

Meng Qian first considered his side, in the future, part of the VR company's factory can be built there, it will bring a lot of jobs and contribute to GDP, holographic electronics company assembly work, can also be contracted to the local - smart watch sales have also been very good recently.

Two months after the watch was released, sales exceeded 60 million, and some people have already hailed it as the "second Apple", so it will be in huge demand for some time to come. The assembly plant can be set up in the future city to drive the development of downstream industries.

However, it is not enough to have downstream, if you dare to call it "Future City", you have to have the effort to press the bottom of the box! After the basic conditions of the city are perfected, he will relocate some of his high-tech industries and build local joint ventures, nuclear fusion, superconductors, and even spaceships that he did not dare to play before!

On the Stone family's side, the tourism and entertainment industry is their bottom line, and they are extremely experienced, so don't worry; After Meng Qian combined the actual situation, he set up the location of Jurassic Park on their side to enhance the reputation of the "tourist city", and the effect would be better.

He didn't use all his strengths on himself, the "sister city" as the name suggests is a common ideal, and what they lack now is not money, but a sense of achievement. Similarly, the entertainment and hotel industries of the Stone family will cover the future city and add a different urban excitement.

In terms of fraternities, there are also idealists who have joined this great construction, including those engaged in the real estate industry, the catering industry, and the financial industry; There are also many volunteers who are willing to work in these two cities in the future - this kind of people are generally middle-level people, and the dream is very beautiful.

But this time, the dream will come true.
