Chapter 42 Rail Elevator "Houyi"
The construction site of the Asian Federal Rail Elevator "Houyi".
Located in a place called Jiuquan in Da'an Province of the Asian Federation, where a radius of 10 kilometers, the foundation of a huge rail elevator has been laid, and a huge solar absorbing panel (much larger than MS) is being transported from the factory through a steady stream of giant transport vehicles, and many places around the rail elevator construction site have spontaneously become workers' living areas, and the establishment of rail elevators requires a lot of financial support. When the National Assembly approved the plan, it was stipulated that 51% of the shares of the project must be owned by the state, and the rest of the shares could be obtained through guΓ² financing in the national market.
Many large enterprises with long-term vision in China see the huge potential value of the elevator project, and each means want to get the remaining 49% of the share, and the Federal Financial Bureau has negotiated a plan, which is to divide the 49% share into 5 parts, four 10%, and a 9% local method through the guΓ² hidden bid method to carry out the auction.
From the country's largest MS manufacturer - Anaheim Electronics Company, the largest recycler (Luo's Recycling House), the Federal Transportation Administration, Chu's Group, Wang's Group, Legend Holdings and other super large enterprises have sent capable personnel, it seems that they are all determined to achieve this project.
This grand reception is being held in the international conference hall of the Holiday Inn Longquan, the largest hotel in Jiuquan, and judging from the patrols around the hotel from time to time, the VIPs of this reception are probably not ordinary people.
A huge banner reads "'Houyi' bid opening party", if you enter this party, it proves that you are already the heir of a big family or the successor of a large business, the organizer of the conference, Minister Liphonz, said before the meeting that he likes to see the same young people attend this party, and the heads of various giants have sent their young heirs to attend this party.
In the afternoon, Liphonz returned from the Eurasian Federation by (Brussels-Nanjing) flight, and rushed to the venue by non-stop transfer to the flight from Nanjing to Jiuquan, and there were still 20 minutes before the start of the reception, Liphonz took a shower and changed his clothes in the presidential suite, walked to the sofa and sat down.
Pick up the phone next to the couch.
"Shirin?"
"Well, I'm here."
"Are my dance partners ready for tonight?"
"The Chu family is not suitable, okay, I'll pick it myself then."
At the Jiuquan cocktail party, all the invited guests have arrived, no one dares to be late at this cocktail party, the Asian Federation is now a huge country that started with the army, no one knows the relationship between the new Minister of Defense Liphonz Almac and President Chu Zheng, there are good things The media speculated that the success of President Chu Zheng's coup d'Γ©tat was because there was a powerful armed group under his command to provide military assistance, and the head of this organization was Liphonz, but after the establishment of the Asian Federation, Because it was a period of military government rule temporarily, at this time, the big leader of the armed organization, Liphonz, took the opportunity to blackmail President Chu Zheng, so the post of Minister of Defense was given to Liphonz, and some people said that President Chu Zheng was simply Lifonz's puppet, and the Asian Federation had become a thing in the hands of Lifonz, but the bosses of these media were invited to tea by agents of the Asian Federal Intelligence Section after expressing these views, and no media dared to report these little gossips again.
"Look, that's Chu Xuan, the son of the Chu family, and Wang Lumei, the sole heir of the Wang family, (Wang mm's resentment, pay tribute to Wang MM who played soy sauce in the second season!) Miss Wang is so beautiful! β
A small number of small enterprises have formed a small circle, people who survive in the upper class of society know that they are not the same level of circle as themselves, don't think about being able to fit in, many people who do not do this have become negative examples, so these unqualified people have consciously formed their own circles to discuss.
"I heard that the Chu family sold many real estate and companies with good development prospects for cash for this project, just to get this project." In order to show that he is well-informed, a slightly chubby man deliberately came to a circle that everyone is usually familiar with and said, there are several beautiful women in costume in this circle, and I want to come to this man just to attract their attention.
It's a pity that these beautiful women are talking about Chu Xuan, the son of the Chu family, "Young Master Chu is so handsome!" β
"Young Master Chu is so tall, so strong!"
"Wow, Young Master Chu is looking at me!"
A good year who was watching from the side wandered around boredly with a glass of wine, and heard a group of talking about that Chu Xuan, "This group of women is really, what, isn't it just that people are rich?" Speaking of which, I'm also very rich, so why doesn't anyone talk about me? β
"Luo, so you're here, come over here, Mr. Almark is about to come out, don't be rude." Liam pulled Lo into the corner.
A pair of handsome guys and beauties walked to the stage as the emcee, "I believe that all the guests have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and now we invite the Federal Minister of Defense, Mr. Liphonz Almark, to come to the stage to give an opening speech for this 'Houyi' financing meeting!" β
In a burst of warm applause, Lifontz, who was wearing the uniform of the Asian Federation, slowly walked up to the podium, "Distinguished guests, distinguished guests, good evening!"
"Before the opening of this conference, many friends may have this question, 'Why am I the person in charge of this project?' Here I want to make it clear to you, this 'Houyi' rail elevator plan was drafted by our military, and why should the project drafted by our military be shared with you? That's because our country is now in a difficult situation! β
Liphonz looked around, everyone was listening to him, "Our Asian Federation can be said to have been built on the ruins of the East Asian Republic. β
"The suppression of the Tokyo rebellion, the bloody night in Nanjing, the suppression of the rebellion of the Northwest Army, the riots of the rebel remnants in the southeast, the wars in India, Bengal, Indochina, the Philippines that we reclaimed, and even the invasion wars of the Atlantic Federation, we have always spent in wars, and a new country can survive so many wars, even to the point where we are now the largest in the world economy (not included), we have paid more, with a total of more than 350,000 casualties, You may ask me why I started the war against those four regions in the early days of the founding of the country. β
"That's because the elite staff officers of our Ministry of Defense have demonstrated that this war of earth union will end within a year, and if we only carry out such an operation by that time, the Atlantic Federation will attack us with righteousness, and the rest of the world will stand on the side of the Atlantic Federation, and we will single-handedly challenge the world's affairs by ourselves, which can only be done after the peaceful development of our Asian Federation for a few years."
"Now the development of the federation needs a lot of money, and our military doesn't want to occupy too many other resources, so after the mention of our staff, this rail elevator plan allows everyone to participate together."
"It's useless to say more, I now announce the opening of the 'Houyi' rail elevator financing meeting!"
Liphonz walked off the podium in a burst of applause, the bidding meeting will only start tomorrow, tonight is actually a cocktail party for everyone to get to know each other, I saw Liphonz who walked off the stage came to the Wang family seat, "Beautiful young lady, I don't know if I have the honor of inviting you to dance?" β
Wang Lumei looked at the green-haired young man in front of her in surprise, and was stunned for a moment, and a member of the Wang family next to her gently kicked her.
"Oh, okay." Wang Lumei handed Liphonz a snow-white hand.
As the first heir to the throne of the Wang family, Wang Lumei has always been clear that her future has been planned by the family, and her mission is to make the family more prosperous and pass on the Wandai family as the Asian Federation. That's because they have a part of the military power, if they can make this most influential Lifonz in the army stand on the side of the Wang family, the Wang family will definitely surpass the Chu family to become the first family of the Asian Federation, if they can get in touch with him at this bidding meeting, it doesn't matter if they don't win this bid. β
When Liphonz invited herself to dance, Wang Lumei recalled what her father had said before she left, and only came to her senses when her cousin Wang Yuanshan kicked her, only to know that she hastily agreed to his invitation.
Wang Lumei thought about what happened just now, and Lifonz's voice came to her ears, "Miss Wang's dancing skills are very good, and she usually participates in such banquets." β
"Mr. Almak has won the award, and the women of our Wang family have been proficient in these banquet skills since childhood, so for me, social dancing is like my usual movements."
"The Wang family is really a century-old family, I don't know what you think of this bid." Levonz said as he circled around Wang Lumei's slender waist.
The strong masculine atmosphere made Wang Lumei hug Lifonz tightly (not fox smell, I wipe it, we reformers take a bath every day!) "Our Wang family feels that this orbital elevator project is a rare investment project, once the construction is completed, the connection between our Asian Federation and the colonial satellites of the universe will be faster and more convenient, and it is also the efficient use of solar energy, and now in the absence of nuclear energy, this should be the future development direction of our human beings, no, is the direction of development of the changemakers." β
"Why haven't you become a changemaker yet? Is it doubting the reliability of the changemakers program? β
"No, I have always been the first heir of the Wang family, and our family habitually let some of the collateral children try such a new technology first."
"Don't talk about that now, I'll take you to a place, and you'll know that changemakers are the direction of human evolution."
(Wang Liumei mm is one of my regrets in the second season, this time I must have a good ending for a character like her.) οΌ
