Chapter 278: A Clash of Interests
It is not only George William who has such feelings and considerations, and it is not only the United States. In such a situation, at 9 o'clock in the morning on March 31, the weather was still a little cold, and a transaction that decided the fate of the earth unfolded within the master company.
Today, there are less than 180 countries on the earth, and a large number of island countries, or small coastal countries, have become playgrounds for marine fish, and the melting of the Arctic and Antarctic, mountains and rivers and glaciers has caused the sea level to continue to rise. Morocco, for example, can only be found in history.
Today, representatives from more than 100 countries have come to the talks. Each one is extremely strict, and the transactions here will affect the status of the whole country; It will also affect the layout of the world. Perhaps, it will change the ecology of the world.
The countries that didn't come, mainly the small countries, the poor countries, because they knew that they couldn't afford to pay the high price. In Africa alone, there are more than a dozen countries, and the standard of living of their leaders is not as rich as that of the working class in China. They don't have a ticket to go abroad!
Zhang Jingyuan sat at the chief, as if inspecting his own territory; There are more than 30 people involved in the negotiation of the surrounding master companies, in addition to the 16 high-level executives of the master companies, there is also the newly established space environment department and so on.
The President of Switzerland did not come, but the Swiss National Environment and Development Agency (NAAD) was represented.
At the meeting, the atmosphere was a little depressing, Albert Gore was fighting cross-eyes with George William; Japan and South Korea, under the huge pressure of China, have fornicated; The countries of Southeast Asia had to unite to resist the powerful oppression of China. Mongolia is really a bit poor, between two world powers, and has asked Mongolia to apply for return to China several times, but China has not allowed it. Without him, too poor, too desolate - this is a heavy burden for any country. You betrayed Huaxia back then, and now your survival is hard, and you want to return? Really a good idea.
In fact, even Zhang Jingyuan believes that there is really no need to take over such a poor and desolate country, which will bring strong pressure to China. Deep inland, it is difficult to obtain sufficient water resources, and it is a miracle that there are still 3 million people living in this place.
However, at today's meeting, Mongolia actually participated in the meeting, but they could only admire the last seat. Although the significance of this meeting is heavy, it is wrapped in all kinds of honorary names; But it still doesn't change the essence: it's a business exchange!
In business, the ranking of master companies is very clear: the rich of the country are first, and the poor are backward.
And as the personnel of the master company sat down, a meeting that decided the fate of the earth began! And it was only the less than 1,000 people here who decided to do this. And the rest of the people on the earth can only passively wait for the unknown fate.
The first place, without exception, is the United States, don't look at the competition has been a bit fierce in recent years, but everyone is like this; As a result, the United States remains the richest in fact. The second place, impressively is Saudi Arabia, this country does not look at a desert, but the underground is full of oil, recently in other places when oil began to dry up, Saudi Arabia has discovered several 5 billion tons of oil fields in a row, so that Saudi Arabia almost monopolized the world's crude oil market. Especially in recent years, in order to develop the Arabian Peninsula and meet the challenges of world development, several countries have united to form the Arab Federation, which has strong financial resources and can be called the first federation in West Asia.
Unlike other countries, Saudi Arabia's requirement is to block 70% of the country's sunlight; Only a small number of coastal areas where seawater can be desalinated, or where there is plenty of rain, as well as cities, will maintain 24-hour sunlight.
Zhang Jingyuan looked around, today's master company is completely overwhelming, and it did not use the small means of secretly trading, but put it out openly. Clearly marked price: permanent construction, ownership belongs to each country, then the price of the master company is 50,000 yuan per square meter. Looking at it alone, considering the construction in space, this offer is really low, even if they let them build it themselves, the cost will only be higher, and it will affect the rest of the country's development.
In addition, the master company also provides a rental nature, the lighting cost per square meter per hour is 2 yuan, of course, including shading the sun. The master company only charges according to the area, which is the area of space, not the area reflected on the earth. Anyway, it's rented to you, and you can use guò radio regulation yourself, and in theory, the master company will not participate in the adjustment.
Zhang Jingyuan slowly spoke, "Everyone, don't talk nonsense. There are two prerequisites for the plan of the master company: first, the priority of the largest capital contribution; The second city is preferred.
I don't think I need to explain the priority of the most contributions. The city priority is due to the fact that 15% of the earth's electricity is now used for urban lighting, which is too much waste and has an additional impact on the earth's ecology. So, after some consideration, we decided that the city would be a priority.
If you don't understand something, you can ask; If there is an unacceptable ......"
When Zhang Jingyuan said this, his bright eyes flashed with an inexplicable light: "You, you can quit!" ”
Hearing this, the corners of almost everyone's mouths twitched. Is there anyone who talks about business like that? You must accept your conditions, and if you don't, quit!
But fortunately, these two conditions of the master company are actually reasonable, and everyone just hesitated a little and accepted it.
"Since there is no problem, then everyone can bid."
Of course, the bid is not shouted at the top of the voice, but its own conditions are entered into the computer in front, and the master company will naturally display it. It's actually a semi-public auction, and you won't know the price of other countries, unless the two sides have agreed to advance and retreat together. It's just that the previous incident between the United States and Russia has had a great impact on everyone -- at the critical moment, the United States did not hesitate to sell Russia, and this impact is really incalculable.
"Wait, I have a question," the American George Williams stood up, "as far as we know, the price of the master company for Switzerland is 20,000 yuan per square meter, why is it 50,000 yuan here!" The gap is just too big! ”
"This question," Zhang Jingyuan said slowly: "It's not a master company that opened it casually. First, Switzerland was one of the countries that never invaded China; Second, Switzerland is second only to Germany and Russia in the development of China, and is one of the friendly countries in China. Third, didn't he end up with a deal? In the end, Switzerland chose to lease in the end. And this price is still 2 yuan per square meter per hour of light.
Now, any more opinions? ”
"I ......" George William almost said yes, but considering the consistent strength of the master company, if he really spoke, then the next sentence must be: If you have an opinion, you can leave!
endured and endured, and finally swallowed back what he wanted to refute, but this does not mean that George Williams gave up: "Mr. Zhang, to complete the space mirror project, tens of millions of square kilometers of film will be needed, according to your company's announcement, it should be a large number of Cai Yong titanium plated aluminum foil, and a large number of aluminum profiles, plastics, etc. in space are also needed as support, such a huge demand, only with the power of a country in China, it is difficult to complete." The U.S. can take on some of the production business. ”
"Hmm......" Zhang Jingyuan rubbed his chin and considered it carefully. Yes, such a huge demand, for a period of time, it is difficult to produce only relying on Huaxia. But only for a short time. The charm of madeinchina is powerful. Once the force is made in the later stage, the production capacity is definitely the first in the world.
"That's it," Zhang Jingyuan thought for a while and gave such an answer: "You can provide raw materials." ”
Poof...... Such a sentence made more than half of the people spray, and tea flew all over the sky for a while.
