Chapter 266: The Starry Sky Sets Sail
As soon as the Spring Festival holiday ended, the Star Group officially went to work.
The first thing Liu Hui did after going to work was to call the leaders of various departments of the Star Group to a meeting, and the main content of the meeting was to discuss how the Star Group would move to the "Star City".
The reason why Liu Hui openly discussed how to relocate the Star Group to the "Star City" in such a high-profile manner was because he believed that Huaxia Kingdom would not fall out with the Star Group in this matter. Based on his experience over the years, as long as it does not involve the principle of the Chinese people, they will generally choose to compromise after weighing the pros and cons.
The departure of the Star Group does not involve the issue of Huaxiaguo's principled surname. In the past three years, because of their good luck, they suddenly got the fat of the Star Group, paid them hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes every year, and helped them solve the problem of a large number of employed people. Now that this part of the profits has suddenly been lost, the worst situation is just to return to before there was no Star Group, and it will not have any fatal impact on the country.
And the Star Group is not a soft persimmon, if there is a conflict between them, it is likely to be a lose-lose outcome. But even such an ending is beneficial for the Star Group. Because the Star Group ship is small and easy to turn around, the company can be rebuilt when it is gone, anyway, the core secrets are in their hands, and they can be rebuilt there, and if there is any chaos in Huaxia, it will really be the end for those bigwigs in China who are based on Huaxia.
At the meeting held by Liu Hui on how to relocate, everyone had a heated discussion, and finally decided to relocate the headquarters building of the Star Group to the Star City. With the relocation of the headquarters building of the Star Group, there are also the training center of the Star Security Company, the Star Pharmaceutical Company, the Star Health Products Company, the Star Cosmetics Company, the Star Legal Counsel Company, the Star Construction Company, the Star Logistics Company, the Star Food Company, the Star Clothing Company, the Star Agriculture Company, the Star Desalination Company, the Star Media Company, the Star TV Station, the Star Network Company, the Star Bank and other subordinate companies.
In addition, at this meeting, it was also mentioned that the Star Science Research Institute needed to be relocated, but due to confidentiality reasons, Liu Hui only briefly mentioned the Star Science Research Institute at the meeting, and did not say the specific matters of the relocation.
Most of the management of the Star Group will be relocated to the "Star City", while the subordinate production plants will only be relocated to the Star City, and the other half of the production plants will remain in Hong Kong temporarily. This is because Liu Hui considered that once all these production plants were relocated, the production of products would be stopped, and the production capacity would not be restored in a short time. Therefore, in order to ensure the supply of Star Group's products to the market, it chose to leave half of the factories to produce products, and the other half of the factories were relocated. In addition, Liu Hui anticipated this situation and increased the product inventory to ensure that the products of the Star Group will not be out of stock during the entire relocation period of the Star Group.
Half a year later, all the remaining production plants will be relocated to the "Starry Sky City". Half a year later, in addition to the Star Gourmet Restaurants, Star Stores and some corresponding management departments distributed around the world, the Star Group will all withdraw from Hong Kong and move to the "Star City" as a whole. At that time, the Star Group will become a force that will no longer have to obey the management and control of any country, and will no longer have to pay taxes to any country or organization.
Only at that time can Liu Hui truly control the entire Star Group and completely cut off the influence of others on the Star Group. At that time, Liu Hui can act without looking at other people's faces, and can carry out the concrete practice of his ideal society on the "Starry Sky City".
Three days after the Star Group officially went to work, Luo Tianmin came to the Star Group again, he found Liu Hui, and then the two of them were locked in Liu Hui's office and conspired for a whole day, no one knew what they discussed inside, and finally they just saw the two of them walk out with a smile.
Another week passed, and a huge domestic negotiation team came to the Star Group, and the Star Group also set up a special negotiation team. The negotiating teams of the two sides began to meet formally and then formally negotiated and consulted on a number of issues of mutual concern to both sides.
After Liu Hui arranged the relocation plan of the Star Group at the meeting, the relevant companies and departments of the Star Group immediately took action, and they carried out the relocation in strict accordance with the order of the relocation. The entire relocation action plan of Star Group is well-thought, the design is reasonable, the entire relocation is in order, and there are no major accidents.
This large-scale relocation activity of Star Group has also received close attention from all walks of life, and major media have sent people to report on the relocation of Star Group. After all, the current news appeal of the Star Group is very large, and everyone likes to watch news related to the Star Group. They have the impression that a company does not stay on land but relocates to floating islands in the sea, which is a bit odd.
Some countries and organizations have begun to study this move of the Star Group to see if there are any tricks in it and whether they can gain any benefits from this strange action of the Star Group. Those well-known experts, scholars and professors have made remarks one after another, and have analyzed all aspects of the relocation of the Star Group, and the results of these analyses are strange, and they may have mentioned everything, but they have entertained the people of the world.
Two months later, in the midst of the continuous onlookers of people all over the world, Liu Hui's relocation task was finally completed. With the exception of half of the production plant, all of Star Group's companies and divisions in Hong Kong have been relocated to the "Star City".
At the end of last year, the total area of the "Starry Sky City" had reached 30 square kilometers. At the beginning of this year, Liu Hui increased a huge amount of money to invest in its construction, which further accelerated the construction speed of the "Starry Sky City", and it is expected that by the end of this year, the total maritime area of the entire "Starry Sky City" will reach a terrifying 100 kilometers.
In order to build the largest maritime structure in human history, Liu Hui has invested trillions of dollars in this "starry sky" project. Fortunately, Star Group's net profit in the past two years has exceeded 2.5 trillion US dollars, and it has enough strength to carry out the construction of this project, so it has not been dragged down by this super plan.
Moreover, Liu Hui also found a large number of mineral resources on the deep seabed, which can be directly used in the construction of the "Starry Sky City". Because these mineral resources only have the cost of mining, the price of these mineral resources is very cheap, only one-twentieth of the purchase price. When the construction of the "Star City" begins to use these cheap mineral resources, it can save the Star Group a huge amount of money, instead of having to purchase everything from outside as before, and have to bear the high price blackmail of the other party.
The undersea factory complex for the mining of the super-large iron ore under the sea was completed a month ago. They are hauled by an underwater locomotive to their destination and then assembled under the auspices of deep-sea machinery. By now, the subsea factory complex has been fully assembled, and the production workers in the subsea factory complex are all in place, and they are debugging and inspecting the production equipment and excavation equipment. If there are no surprises, this submarine factory complex will officially open for iron smelting in half a month. At that time, a steady stream of steel will be produced from this undersea factory complex, and then transported to the "Starry Sky City" for the construction of the "Starry Sky City".
After the submarine factory complex of this super iron ore mine is officially completed and put into operation, the next target of Star Group is the super deep-sea oil field comparable to the entire national oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. In order to avoid being found out that the Star Group is extracting oil in the deep sea, the Star Group will still use the method of mining the submarine factory group, which will extract the deep-sea oil from the seabed factory group, and then use the deep-sea train to transport the oil from the seabed to the Star City for external sales.
These two deep-sea mineral mining projects are the most urgent projects facing the Star Group now, and only after the official start of these two deep-sea mineral mining projects can the Star Group truly get rid of the dilemma of extreme dependence on the world's materials, and avoid being choked by others for the development of the Star Group.
Once the Star Group has a large number of iron ore resources and oil resources in its hands, it can greatly increase the Star Group's right to speak in the world, and if any country or organization is not satisfied with some of the practices of the Star Group, the Star Group can use the huge mineral resources in its hands to influence the price of mineral resources in the world, so that those countries that point fingers at the Star Group will suffer serious economic losses.
The welfare houses for the employees of the Star Group that Liu Hui mentioned before have also been built, and these welfare houses are built in the "Star City" near the sea, and the environment is very beautiful and beautiful.
The distribution standards for employee welfare housing have already been issued to the hands of all employees, and everyone has also understood the distribution principle of this welfare housing. Basically, as long as a person who has been in the company for two years, the minimum level he obtains can ensure that he can be assigned to a one-bedroom welfare room, which can meet the normal life of a family of two. And those with higher levels because they have made special contributions to the Star Group can be allocated to a two-bedroom and two-living room luxury decoration welfare room.
Liu Hui also moved his family to the "Starry Sky City". The area of the "Starry Sky City" is not very large, and many of the zoning functions have not yet been reflected. The luxury villa area designed by Liu Hui has not yet been built, so he temporarily lives in the employee welfare housing of the Star Group, but the room he lives in is larger and more luxurious. Liu Hui's parents and Hu Xian'er's parents live in a welfare house not far away, and the distance between them is not very far, which is convenient for them to take care of each other.
Even for those new employees who do not meet the minimum requirements of the welfare housing, the Star Group also provides them with a low-rent house for two people on the "Star City", and the rent in it is very cheap. When these new hires move up the ranks, they can be assigned to social housing, so that they can move out of the low-rent housing that two people live in.
Liu Hui is very thoughtful, he opened a large starry sky chain shopping supermarket on the "Starry Sky City", the starry sky chain shopping supermarket has a complete range of items, and the price is cheap, if you live on the "Starry Sky City", you don't need to go down to the island to buy all the daily necessities you need. At the same time, the "Starry Sky City" has also established an entertainment venue, so that people living on it can enjoy a variety of entertainment activities.
Because of the convenience and cheapness of life, coupled with the abundant entertainment facilities, most of the employees of the Star Group who were assigned to the welfare housing moved their families to the "Star City", and for a time the Star City began to show signs of liveliness.
And only one employee who works in the Star Group simply let his family choose to resign, and then live in the "Star City", anyway, he can support the whole family with his own salary.
In the process of relocating this worker to the "City of Stars", some problems also arose. That is, some employees are reluctant to relocate to the "Star City" because they are worried about safety at sea, and they prefer to stay on land because they are safest to do so. Liu Hui also understood them very well, so he asked them to stay in the company on land to work, and swapped the jobs of those employees who were willing to live in the "Starry Sky City".
Because the area of the current "Starry Sky City" is not very large, the buildings on the entire island still seem a little messy. However, when the area of the "Starry Sky City" gradually increases, the layout of these buildings will be redivided and adjusted, and the underwater platforms that carry these buildings will be reorganized and merged again. At that time, these buildings will be divided into different functional areas according to different functions. When these buildings are under construction, they are grouped so that they can be moved as a whole in the future, reducing the workload.
When building the "Starry Sky City", Liu Hui had countless small water element formations depicted on it, and then these small water element formations were combined into a super large water element formation. Under the combined effect of these small Water Yuan Formations, all the Water Yuan Spiritual Qi within a radius of 500 kilometers will be attracted to the "Starry Sky City". These water element auras gathered over, making the entire "Starry Sky City" under the nourishment of the water element aura. In the long run, the bodies of those who live in the "Starry Sky City" will become healthier and longer. In addition, the natural environment on the "Starry Sky City" will also be greatly changed and improved, which can make the growth of various plants more lush.
The gathered water element aura will also float in the low-lying places of the "Starry Sky City", and they will continue to flow in these low-lying areas, making the entire "Starry Sky City" look like a fairyland on earth. After the super water element formation is depicted, the water element aura within a radius of 5,000 kilometers will be attracted to the "Starry Sky City", nourishing the entire "Starry Sky City", and then the "Starry Sky City" will be a real fairyland on earth.
The Star Group has moved to the "City of Stars", and Liu Hui has begun to pay attention to the safety protection of the "City of Stars". He transferred a thousand loyal soldiers of the Dragon's Tooth Mercenary Regiment from Zhou Tengyun's African base to the "Starry Sky City", plus the two hundred soldiers in front of him, and Lin Yuan would manage them in a unified manner. These 1,200 soldiers are equivalent to the army above the "Starry Sky City", and they provide armed protection for the "Starry Sky City".
The security team of Wu Yuanjia's Star Security Company is a self-contained system, they play the role of police on the "Starry Sky City", and they are also the reserve soldiers of the "Starry Sky City" army.
On top of the "Starry Sky City", a hundred laser weapons and electromagnetic cannon weapons are installed, which are hidden in various vital parts of the "Starry Sky City". In the event of an attack by an enemy from the outside world, these weapons will immediately exert a powerful lethal effect and deal a heavy blow to the invading enemy.
Underneath the "Starry Sky City" are three more supersubmarines. These three super submarines are all 100,000-ton class super submarines. Their main task is to patrol under the sea surface and protect the security of the "Starry Sky City" under the sea surface, so that the enemy does not have any possibility of approaching the "Starry Sky City".
These three super submarines are loaded with all kinds of new weapons, and if the attack power is calculated alone, one such super submarine can be worth the entire desalination plant complex when it was confronted by the US military in the Middle East.
After having such a strong military protection, the "Starry Sky City" began its official sailing. The "Starry Sky City" is slowly heading to the open sea under the strong traction of several large sea locomotives.
On the day when the "City of Stars" left Hong Kong, the audience who came to watch it was crowded. What they didn't know was that they had witnessed a miracle, and when they looked back on the moment later, they were all thrilled.
Star TV and Star Network broadcast the huge launch ceremony live, causing people all over the world to watch it frantically, but it was a miracle of ratings and clicks.
The "Starry Sky City" slowly sailed out of Hong Kong's waters under the strong traction of several sea locomotives, and then it began to move towards the east of Hong Kong. When the "Starry Sky City" left Hong Kong, several Chinese warships appeared behind it, and fighter planes also appeared in the sky, and these warships and fighters followed the "Starry Sky City" far behind, and disappeared after two hours.
The "City of Stars" passes through China's Dongsha Islands, then enters the Balintang Strait between Taiwan and the Philippines, and enters the western Pacific Ocean. It then drove eastward along the western Pacific Ocean for two weeks before finally stopping in the waters of the western Pacific Ocean east of the Ryukyu Islands, south of the Iwo Jima, west of the Northern Mariana Islands, and north of the Caroline Islands.
The reason why the "Starry Sky City" chose to leave Hong Kong's waters at this time is mainly because as the construction scale of the "Starry Sky City" becomes larger and larger, there are more and more things that need to be transported by cargo ships, and the already not very wide Hong Kong sea area can no longer stop so many cargo ships.
Another reason why Liu Hui let the "Star City" leave was that he was dissatisfied with the stalemate in the negotiations between the Star Group and China. He wants to give a warning to the country not to grind foreign workers in the negotiation process, otherwise they are likely to get an embarrassing ending of breaking up.
After seeing Liu Hui's resolute attitude, the domestic side finally began to loosen its mouth in some aspects, and the Star Group also made some concessions accordingly, wanting to let this long-lasting negotiation be completed quickly and solve this big trouble that hindered their development as soon as possible. Although both sides have made concessions, because there are so many things involved in the negotiations, the final result cannot be reached quickly.
The "City of Stars" finally set sail and left Hong Kong, and since then it has begun its legendary development experience of reading independence.
After the "City of Stars" arrived at its destination safely, Liu Hui finally let go of his tense heartstrings. The reason why he wanted to stop the "Starry Sky City" here was because under the "Starry Sky City" was the location of the super large iron mine under the sea. The main reason for stopping at this place is for the convenience of transportation. Moreover, the location of the "Starry Sky City" is not static, and it will be moved to other places in the future if there are other needs.
The Star Group left Hong Kong and got rid of the constraints of others on its development, and the people of the entire Star Group were very happy. They feel very good about living and working in the "City of Stars". Not only is the environment very good here, but after living here for a few days, they feel that their bodies have become much healthier, and the performance of the elderly in their family is especially outstanding. Although they didn't know that this was the result of the water element aura nourishing their bodies, it also made them realize their luck.
It's just a pity for the employees of the Star Group that the current "Star City" has not been completely built, and only some areas are very beautiful, and the rest of the place is still bare.
When Liu Hui was planning the "Starry Sky City" before, he took into account the environmental problems on it in the future. So he set aside a lot of space for planting all kinds of plants, so that the environment above it becomes very beautiful.
However, in order to complete this environmental plan, a large amount of soil will be needed on the entire "Starry Sky City", which will be used to grow various plants and animals and form a balanced ecological environment. Previously, due to capacity constraints, this environmental plan was far from achieving the expected goal, and only some areas were cultivated and renovated, and other large areas were still blank.
However, with the gradual arrival of the Star Group's sea trains, the bottleneck of capacity will be broken. Soon, the Star Group will be able to transport a large amount of soil and soil from other countries and regions, and after some of these mud and soil, the entire "Starry Sky City" will become a green artificial fairyland, and the "Starry Sky City" will also become the most suitable place for human habitation in the world.
