Chapter 924 has to solve two problems first

Ask for a ticket!

Judging from the legal provisions and the actual situation, the EU is a very interesting political organization. For example, on the issue of anti-monopoly, the EU adopts a system that is even more stringent than that of the United States, and many American companies do not sue in their own countries in order to win anti-monopoly lawsuits, but instead travel thousands of miles to Europe to file a lawsuit before the EU Fair Competition Commission. For example, the European Union also has the strictest legal system in the world when it comes to food safety.

According to the provisions of the existing law, every EU member state has the right to exercise the "veto power" on many issues that affect the overall situation of the EU, and this "veto" is still a "one-vote veto." That is, even if all the other Member States voted in favor of an issue, as long as one country did not agree, there was no way to solve the problem.

There are two very typical examples of this, one is the new constitutional reform of the European Union. After the formation of the new constitutional proposal, France and the Netherlands held referendums successively, both of which rejected the new constitution, so that the new constitutional reform of the European Union has not seen any light until now. Another typical example is the Arms Ban Treaty with China.

Historically, because of the Cold War, China had an extremely close relationship with the United States and the European Union (then called the European Community), and at that time, in order to contain the Soviet Union and win over China, the Americans and Europeans were quite open to China's technology, and the relevant Chinese technicians visited the United States to visit the nuclear industry. Except for the core part of the United States, which is not open to China, all other aspects have very deep exchanges with China.

But this qiē, after 1989, has changed very much. At that time, the Soviet Union was sharply weakened because of Gorbachev's blind reforms, and Gorbachev actively adopted the policy of Kao to the United States and Kao to the West, first the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, and then the member countries within the Soviet Union were also separated from Germany, so that it was difficult for the Soviet Union to threaten the United States.

The political demand of the United States and Europe for China fell to an all-time low that year, and then the United States and the European Community cut off technical exchanges with China under the pretext that China used bloody means to suppress the students who demonstrated and demonstrated, and the weapons they manufactured and produced stopped being exported to China.

In recent years, as China attaches great importance to the development of high-tech weapons, China's military strength has been markedly enhanced; since the beginning of the 21 st century, some EU member states have successively expressed their willingness to vote in favor of abolishing the "Arms Ban Treaty on Arms Sales to China." However, on this issue, the EU has also adopted the principle of requiring all member states to reach a unanimous vote, and the "Arms Ban Treaty on Arms Sales to China" cannot be canceled only if one country opposes it.

On this issue, EU member states are divided into two major factions: France, Germany, and other old EU countries have basically agreed to cancel the "Arms Ban Treaty on Arms Sales to China," but the newly joined EU member states such as the Czech Republic and Poland, in order to hug the thighs of the Americans, have repeatedly stated that they will exercise their veto power to prevent the EU's decision to abolish the "Arms Ban Treaty on China."

Now, when the European Space Agency submitted its report to discuss whether to cooperate with Galaxy Industrial, there was a heated discussion among EU member states.

Some are for and some are against. Two years ago, the relationship between the EU and Galaxy Industry deteriorated, and the EU issued a ban on Galaxy Industry, which some EU member states did not approve of at that time, but at that time, for the sake of face, in order to maintain the so-called dignity, these member states that did not approve of it did not oppose the ban on Galaxy Industry.

In the past two years, Galaxy Industry has maintained a momentum of rapid development, and many EU countries are greedy and want to cooperate with Galaxy Industry to share some benefits from the rapid development of Galaxy Industry. However, it was easier to sever the relationship with Galaxy Industry at the beginning, and it would be difficult to restore the relationship with Galaxy Industry.

Not to mention whether Liu Shiqing and Galaxy Industry are willing to restore relations with the EU, there is a great deal of controversy even within the EU. The Germans were strongly opposed, and the Eastern European countries and other countries that had nothing to do with Galaxy Industry either did not care or did not approve of it. Those who strongly advocate the restoration of relations with Galaxy Industry are mainly France, Italy, Spain, etc. The two sides are deadlocked, and neither can convince anyone.

At this time, the issue of the European space agency once again sparked a heated debate between the two factions. However, this time the opposition has the upper hand, if it is purely a technical exchange, maybe the EU member states will not object, the problem is that the European Space Agency has not been able to come up with evidence that Galaxy Industry can independently manufacture clairvoyant space telescopes, in case Galaxy Industry is cheating, please enter the urn, defraud the European Space Agency technology, then what should we do?

What's more, Liu Shiqing's conditions are really harsh. Asking the European Space Agency to become a member of the Galaxy Mutual Aid and Mutual Promotion Association does not mean that the leadership of Galaxy Industry should be recognized? This is the result that the arrogant Europeans absolutely refuse to accept.

Europe is quarrelling, Japan is protesting and threatening, and the United States is eyeing the three forces, Liu Shiqing is calm and calm, and he does not regard them as the same thing at all.

At this time, within the Galaxy Mutual Aid and Co-promotion Association, the two bidding documents published by Liu Shiqing also aroused great interest from all member units. There are not many member units interested in the clairvoyant space telescope, mainly limited to scientific research and academic education units such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the China National Space Administration, Yenching University, and Shuimu University. They are more interested in the project of reclamation from the sea proposed by Liu Shiqing.

The ocean is a huge treasure trove of resources waiting to be exploited. The oil and natural gas of the submarine continental shelf, marine aquatic products, marine mineral resources, etc., are all very valuable projects worthy of vigorous development. However, the ocean is different from the continent after all, because of the particularity of the ocean, when people exploit various marine resources, the first thing to solve is the platform problem.

In the past, people surveyed and developed the ocean, mainly relying on the platform built by various ships, such as marine fishing, marine transportation, etc., and they could not play at all without ships. After ships, people invented the way to build offshore oil platforms to exploit the oil and gas resources contained in the continental shelf.

In addition, there are relatively few other platforms invented for the exploitation of marine resources. The emergence of the project of land reclamation from the sea will undoubtedly add a new platform for the development of marine resources, especially the underwater cities and artificial islands contained in the project of land reclamation from the sea.

If you build an underwater city that can accommodate a certain population below the level of the ocean, and then develop it as a tourist attraction, it will surely become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. In addition, the underwater city can also become an important transit point for the development of marine bottom mineral resources, people can first mine various marine minerals, collect them into the underwater city, and then transport the marine minerals to the land through guò ships or other means of transportation. It is even possible to directly build factories in underwater cities, directly produce finished products, and sell them.

Undoubtedly, the project of land reclamation from the sea has a very broad prospect, and if you can participate in it, you will definitely be able to get a cup of thick and fragrant meat soup.

However, the members of the Galaxy Mutual Aid and Co-promotion Association know that the investment required for the reclamation project is definitely not a small number, and the amount of money it will spend will definitely reach an astronomical amount. This is a very typical high-investment, high-risk, high-return project, which is not something that ordinary people can play.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Shiqing split the first sea reclamation project in the Yellow Sea and sold 49 percent of the shares in the bidding documents for the reclamation project. The sale price of every 1 percent of the equity is as high as 10 billion Huaxia Coin, which means that Liu Shiqing intends to use 49 percent of the equity to raise 490 billion Huaxia Coin.

At such a price, it is not too expensive to sell, but it can even be said that it is a little cheaper. After all, building a city underwater is not a problem that can be solved by just talking about it, and it involves countless extremely cumbersome and difficult practical problems. The corrosive nature of seawater, the huge water pressure brought about by seawater, transportation problems, food and water problems, respiratory problems, communication problems, entertainment problems, and so on are all problems that need to be solved. Each one costs a fortune.

According to Liu Shiqing's estimates, the investment of 500 billion Huaxia coins can basically build the first underwater city, so that the participating member units bear the vast majority of the funds.

10 billion Huaxia coins account for only one percent of the shares, which is an unprecedented and expensive equity sale price. Those powerful member units look at such a price, and they all have a headache. After all, 10 billion Huaxia coins can never be said to be a small number, and the total assets of many member units cannot even reach such a price.

"Mr. Liu, can it be cheaper?" Ning Lanjie called Liu Shiqing, "If it is cheaper, we Hualiang Group will buy 20% of the shares of the sea reclamation project." ”

Hualiang Group has a lot of money, but in the face of the high price offered by Liu Shiqing, it also feels a little unbearable, and Ning Lanjie has to set up magnetism with Liu Shiqing.

Liu Shiqing said with a smile: "Mr. Ning, to be honest, I still think that 10 billion Huaxia coins will sell one percent of the shares, which is too cheap." In terms of project cost, the construction of a high-speed railway from Yanjing to the southern province cost more than 200 billion Chinese dollars, and we are now building an underwater city inside the ocean, and the difficulty of the project is several orders of magnitude higher than the construction of a high-speed railway. If you think about it, one percent only sells for 10 billion Huaxia coins, is it cheap or expensive? ”

Ning Lanjie smiled, "According to what you say, of course it's cheap." However, Mr. Liu, let's carry out the project of reclamation from the sea, we can't say it beautifully, and when it is completed, it will not make money, then it will be nothing. Now business is difficult to do, it is not easy for everyone to make money, and no one wants to waste money. ”

Liu Shiqing said with a smile: "Mr. Ning, I can give you a thorough explanation, I already have a certain idea of the operation of the underwater city, I will tell you two first." The annual output value of tourism in the Kingdom of the United Arab Emirates alone is as high as more than 40 billion US dollars, which is converted into Chinese currency, and there are always 250 billion Chinese currency. Do you think the attraction of our underwater cities to tourists from all over the world is above or below the UAE? This is one, and two, I am ready to learn from the practice of the royal family of Dubai, UAE, and also engage in real estate development, they are engaged in the palm island, which is the map of the world. Let's engage in underwater urban real estate development, so that people can live under the ocean, this is a unique real estate project in the world? How much do you think we can sell for a square meter at that time? 100,000, or 200,000, 300,000, 500,000? ”

Ning Lanjie's eyes suddenly lit up, and Liu Shiqing's words suddenly opened his mind, allowing him to see the good profit prospects of the underwater city, and he joked: "Mr. Liu, I heard that Mr. Ding and Mr. Wang started to build real estate development for a long time, but you still disagreed. Why, I can't help but get into it now? ”

Liu Shiqing smiled, "If I don't develop real estate, I don't want to compete with the people." What's more, with the implementation of the seawater desalination project to the west, the amount of domestic cultivated land resources will continue to rise in the future, the state's approval of domestic land resources will be relaxed, and the trend of real estate price reduction has been very obvious. That's why I don't agree to do real estate, but the real estate in the underwater city is different, this is the land I developed, the only one in the world, and the development is also sold to the rich, not in the category of competing with the people. I don't have any mental barriers to doing it. ”

After Ning Lanjie, Liu Shiqing received calls from the heads of more than 20 member units one after another, asking for the same as Ning Lanjie, hoping that Liu Shiqing could reduce the price. Liu Shiqing dealt with all his words to Ning Lanjie.

Liu Shiqing's answer was actually not honest, in addition to doubling the estimated project cost, he also avoided talking about the possible risks of the entire project. If the whole project is carried out smoothly, there is no risk, but if it does not go well, for example, there is a problem with the material, the outermost protective cover blocking the seawater fails, or there are cracks in the pressure of the seawater, then it will be catastrophic for the whole project.

Of course, although Liu Shiqing did not explicitly state these risks, it is impossible for each member unit to be unaware of them, nor can they not be unpredicted in advance. After all, the profit prospects of the whole project look very good, and Liu Shiqing has no reason not to do this project as a sole proprietorship, precisely because there is a huge risk, so Liu Shiqing took out nearly half of the equity of the project and shared it with many member units. The kind of project that is stable and can make a lot of money is basically not stored, and even if there is, it is a rare store, which is not accessible to ordinary people.

After learning about Liu Shiqing's attitude and learning that it was impossible to make any concessions on the equity price, the member units of the Galaxy Mutual Aid and Promotion Association began to subscribe for the equity of the first sea reclamation project, but because of the high price of equity, the proportion of equity eaten by each member unit is not high, most of them are 1 percent, 2 percent, and some even several member units jointly contribute to buy 1 percent of the equity.

Only Hualiang Group, Cheung Kong Industrial, and IBM of the United States have each eaten up 3 percent of their shares, and IBM has made it clear that this is only a short-term investment when they buy it, and they will sell this part of their shares when the right time comes in the future.

In any case, 49 percent of the equity of the first sea reclamation project was sold out within a week, and the funds of 490 billion Huaxia yuan were gathered into the account specially set up by Yinhe Industrial, and the money will be supervised by the head office, and when Yinhe Ocean carries out the construction of the project, it will be allocated in an orderly manner.

The relevant departments of the State Council have approved the application of the Galaxy Ocean to carry out the project of reclamation from the sea, and the military, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Oceanic Administration and other departments have expressed their willingness to provide help to the whole project, on the condition that after the completion of the construction of the project, they should leave a place and allow them to set up branches in the underwater city.

Liu Shiqing naturally has no reason not to agree to this condition, he can now have no interest in building a country within a country, once the underwater city is built, the underwater city will inevitably face many very practical problems such as public security and household registration management. Liu Shiqing plans to hand over all these problems to the official to solve, he is not interested in chauffeuring, he only needs all other powers other than the public power of the underwater city, and the most important thing is to get the right to operate and develop the underwater city.

To build an underwater city, we must first solve two problems, one is compression-resistant materials, and the other is the problem of piling. Both of these issues are top priorities, and there can be no room for sloppiness.

Fortunately, Liu Shiqing has a solution to these two problems, compressive materials, and he plans to use a carbon-oxygen separator to use carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to create a diamond hard diamond.
