Being able to pull the big tree of the enterprise into the car at the "angel wheel" stage is definitely an unexpected joy for Chu Guang.

Originally, he thought that if he wanted to let the company enter the game, he would have to wait at least until the results of the experimental demonstration were obtained.

After all, with Chu Guang's understanding of these people, they are all masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

At the beginning, the enterprises were all exported by the Legion, and the Council still held a tepid meeting for a month before deciding to send reinforcements to the Alliance.

And now Li Changkong just glanced at the alliance's offshore engineering equipment and the construction site that had already started, and he couldn't hold his breath, which really made Chu Guang a little unexpected.

Although the Ideal Group is not the same as an enterprise, it is no different on Chu Guang's side.

After all, what he needs is the "wonder construction experience" of the ideal group, as well as all kinds of engineering talents, and it may not be easy to change to several other groups of the five major groups.

After getting off the Conch, Li Changkong took a special plane to Beidao in the southern sea and stayed in the Beidao Hotel, which had the highest specifications there.

Such a big matter is obviously not something that one of his managers can decide on his own.

Chu Guang knew that he needed to communicate with the other shareholders of the Ideal Group, so he didn't urge him, but just stuffed him with miscellaneous things such as the project plan and concept map, and asked him to take it back to the hotel and study it slowly.

Li Changkong thanked him for his kindness, and then locked himself in the hotel and did not move, during which he also borrowed the hotel's holographic conference room several times.

Although the communication network of the South China Sea Alliance is not connected to the Ideal City, it can still be connected to the Ideal City through the springboard of the Alliance.

Since the establishment of the adhesive community, in order to strengthen information exchange, the alliance and enterprises have set up many signal repeaters along Tianshui.

Although the channel width of communication is limited, at least it is not necessary to rely on airplanes to deliver messages for small matters and rely on satellites for major matters as before.

Chu Guang didn't have to wait long, and on the third day after the first meeting between the two sides, the representative from the Ideal Group made another appointment with him.

The meeting place between the two parties was set at the North Island Hotel.

After three days of discussion, the ideal group has set a preliminary intention of cooperation, and the two sides have negotiated the specific details of the cooperation.

“…… According to the company's law, such a large project with an estimated total value of more than 10 billion Cr, we in Ideal Group cannot make a decision alone, and the decision must be approved by the board of directors. But you don't have to worry about it, we'll try to convince the rest of the Board that we only need to get a majority vote in favor of half of the seats. ”

This is not a difficult task for Ideal Group.

First of all, the space elevator and several other groups do not have a direct conflict of interest, and they are not as sensitive as the "androids participating in public affairs" proposed by Kangmao Group before.

Secondly, the Ideal Group also has good reasons to solve the future energy crisis of the Ideal City, and it must resume the Earth-Moon flight before the energy is exhausted.

Based on these two factors, the voting of the council is estimated to be a formality, and the ideal group will most likely not encounter any resistance.

As long as the investment and returns are not too outrageous, there is an obvious suspicion of "transferring assets".

Chu Guang was aware of the rules of the Ideal City, so he didn't feel anything when he heard Li Changkong's words, but was relieved that he didn't raise objections to the estimated cost of the "100 billion silver coins".

This figure is actually a conservative estimate made by him with reference to the opinions of the scientific expedition team, and the actual cost in the end may not be so much, but it may be one more zero than this.

After all, it is an epoch-making project, there are no past cases to refer to, and the relevant units of the alliance are also in the stage of taking a step by step, and it is unrealistic to expect him to come up with an accurate budget figure.

As the manager of the construction department, Li Changkong obviously knows this, so he did not find any fault in the budget, but only raised questions about a few things in the plan that he did not understand.

"I noticed that your plan, in addition to the space elevator itself, mentions guiding the survivors of the eastern provinces to move to the coast...... What is it? ”

This section is written at the end of the proposal.

Although it doesn't take much space, it's just a passing feeling, but because this part of the content was not mentioned by the alliance at the Adhesive Community conference, it still aroused his curiosity.

Chu Guang didn't have an appetite for him, and said his plan bluntly.

"This part of the plan is our latest addition, in addition to the construction of space elevators in the southern seas, we also plan to build ten new coastal settlements in the eastern coastal area of the Central Continent to house survivors in the wasteland, and at the same time focus on the development of outer space related industries."

For example, space junk salvage and sorting.

After all, most of the space junk floating in outer space will end up in the sea under his feet, and when the time comes, picking up garbage in the sea and panning for gold from garbage will inevitably become a hot industry.

It's not realistic to expect the wastelanders to help build the spacecraft, but it's okay to let them do their old job of scavenging.

By that time, the southern seas will be much more lively than they are now.

Once the population has gathered and a stable settlement has formed along the coastline, the Alliance can replicate locally what it has done in other settlements.

For example, establishing order, universal education, and so on.

And when these settlements develop into settlements that are not inferior to those of Dawn City, Boulder City, and Dawn City, they will be able to radiate their light and heat along the footsteps of their arrival to the vast uninhabited areas of the eastern provinces.

This strategy has the added benefit of having a demographic siphon effect on most of the chaotic areas of the eastern provinces.

It is difficult for a non-productive marauder to survive alone in the wilderness.

As the number of people who could suck blood gradually decreased, they either abandoned the primitive tribal way of life and tried to farm and produce on their own. Either they can only abandon the base under their feet and migrate in the direction of the coastline with those who have moved south.

Not even the marauders, but the slave owners, large and small, will certainly not be as good as they used to be as fresh as there are fewer and fewer caravans.

In a sense, this is also a kind of shock treatment in disguise.

By the time the eastern provinces are left with only marauders, mutants, slavers, mutant slime molds, and xenomorphs, the Alliance will be able to clean up the mess a little more neatly.

Li Changkong was stunned, but the first thing that came to mind was not the layout of the alliance behind these ten settlements, but another thing.

"This ...... Wouldn't there be a risk of being attacked by aquatic mutants? ”

Chu Guang patiently explained.

"Aquatic mutants are dangerous, but there are also many dangers on land, not to mention the fact that mutants are also active on land. Establish settlements along the coast, at least the South Sea Alliance fleet can help patrol them, and if the location of the mutant lair is determined, our Conch Submarine will also bring ground troops over to help clear it up. Overall, these ten settlements are no more dangerous than the original living conditions of the Wastelanders. ”

Li Changkong nodded.

That sounds pretty plausible.

After all, he knew about the Alliance's army, and those guys were much more ruthless than mutants, and he heard that he killed the fishmen in captivity of the Torch Church on the Dead Coast.

There was just one more thing he didn't understand.

“…… Is this also part of the space elevator program? ”

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Not really, but we intend to move forward with the space elevator project at the same time."

After a pause, he continued.

"This is a long-term plan, and in the future, we plan to turn the coastal area of the southern sea into a new 'Circum-Space Elevator Industrial Zone', just like the four industrial zones that surrounded the old space elevator in the past."

Li Changkong made a sudden expression when he heard this, pinched his chin with his index finger and nodded.

"I see......"

It's not enough to build a space elevator, there must also be supporting industrial and logistics facilities nearby, and those resources transported from space to the surface must be processed into products.

In the past, the People's Union chose to build the sky elevator in the middle of the relatively sparsely populated Central Continent, and then gradually moved the population and jobs of other provinces to the vicinity of the space elevator, which is now the Great Desert area.

It is obviously unrealistic to rebuild a space elevator in the middle of Middle-earth, where the ruins of buildings are as astronomical as the garbage floating in outer space.

However, the southern seas are an unexplored land of feng shui!

Thinking of this, Li Changkong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he now felt more and more that moving the space elevator to the sea was a genius idea!

Noticing the change in Li Changkong's eyes, Chu Guang's face also showed a happy smile.

"Although this plan is not strictly part of the space elevator project, I will have to trouble you to help when the time comes."

Li Changkong said with a smile.

"It's not a small favor...... However, I still have to say that after all, the ideal group is a listed company, and we need to be responsible for our shareholders and financial statements, and it is impossible to assist you in building in the coastal areas free of charge. ”

Chu Guang also smiled and said.

"Don't worry, I can tell the difference between you and the council, this is purely a commercial cooperation, we will pay the fees that should be paid!"

"Thank you for your understanding," Li Changkong nodded, paused for a moment and continued, "Finally, I would like to confirm the details of the cooperation contract. ”

"Under the terms you provided in your proposal, we plan to cover one-third of the cost of the entire space elevator, but the use and change of the budget must be signed off by us."

"In addition, we have concerns about how capacity quotas are allocated. Considering that the space elevator is not just a means of transportation, but also has the potential to generate other revenues, we hope that you will adopt a more equitable distribution method, such as setting up a joint-stock project management company, and replacing the 'one-third of the capacity quota' in return to our investment with 'one-third of the shares'. ”

A third of the shares is not too much, after all, the entire space elevator is still in the stage of only one PPT.

The ideal group's commitment to "bear one-third of the expenditure" is all real money, and this investment is not a one-time investment, but will be adjusted according to the project budget, and will be followed up until the completion of the entire project.

If it weren't for the close enough relationship between the two sides, and the alliance side let the ideal group see the hope of the pie coming true, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't have put such a heavy bargaining chip on the first place.

Faced with Li Changkong's appeal, although Chu Guang's heart was beating hard, it did not show it on his face, and he pretended to ponder for a moment before speaking.

"That's no problem, it's true that we didn't think it through the way we allocate capacity, and this can be improved according to your wishes. On the other hand, I hope that you will provide not only funding, but also your valuable construction experience and related technical ...... To put it simply, we want you to be involved in our projects right from the design stage. ”

Li Changkong nodded very happily.

"No problem, we happen to have that idea too! To be honest, working in a marine environment is our weakness, and we hope to learn from you through this opportunity! ”

"Let's stop flattering each other," Chu Guang coughed lightly and continued, "In addition, if it is a shareholding system to distribute benefits, I would like to add a supplementary clause that if there are other people joining in the middle, our respective shares will be diluted in the same proportion." ”

If it's one-third of the capacity quota, he can promise it to the company, but if it covers other benefits, he can't be wronged.

"No problem!" Li Changkong readily agreed, and continued, "But on the other hand, we ask for the right to nominate new tenants and the right to veto...... Of course, this is a reciprocal right, and you have the same rights. ”

"No problem, this is a reasonable request, and we don't want any spoilers to come in and do bad things," Chu Guang added as he said this, "Of course, regarding the identification of spoilers, we must go through full communication, and in principle, I prefer to involve more survivors in the wasteland more." ”

Li Changkong said with a smile.

"You can rest assured that our position is the same as yours on this point! Even if it's a-stirring stick like the Legion, as long as they keep to themselves, we won't exclude them from entering the game, even if we have some historical grudges. ”

Chu Guang stretched his eyebrows, nodded and said with a smile.

"I'm relieved."

He did not reject such exclusive cooperation agreements, but was only worried that companies would take advantage of the advantage of joining first and use their opposition votes at will.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, the enterprise is not a legion, not to mention that the alliance and the enterprise can always agree on the matter of "who is the-stirring stick".

Thinking of this, Chu Guang no longer cared about those minor flaws, and happily signed a contract with the Ideal Group.

From this moment on, the "Sky Ladder Rail Transportation Company" was officially established, and the ideal group officially joined the space elevator project!

Ideal Group is expected to set up a team of 1,000 experts to invest in the project, and will send a professional technical team to the southern sea in the near future to participate in the design of the elevator with experts from the alliance and the South China Sea Alliance.

In order not to delay the construction period of the project, Li Changkong, who got the contract, immediately contacted his special plane and asked him to park on the tarmac on the roof of the hotel building.

Looking at Li Changkong, who was about to leave, Chu Guang politely said.

"Why don't you stay here for a few more days? I'm going to show you around Coral City. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, or next time! When the project is launched, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here permanently, and I'll have to bother when the time comes. ”

Gently stacking the contracts in his hand, Li Changkong continued with a smile.

"Our chairman is already urging me, and I have to rush back to Ideal City as soon as possible to bring the good news back to the board."

A big project of 100 billion silver coins!

If this space elevator can be successfully completed, Ideal Group may be able to return to the peak of more than a century ago!

In the past three days, he had successfully persuaded the board of directors, and he had used the same rhetoric that Chu Guang had told him.

Now not to mention the shareholders of Ideal Group, even the netizens on the endpoint cloud are talking about the pie five light years away!

He is now carrying not only the expectations of the board of directors of Ideal Group, but also the expectations of the entire Ideal City!

At least that's what he thinks.

Hearing what Li Changkong said, Chu Guang nodded, and then stopped holding on.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Li Changkong bowed his head slightly and said with a smile.

"Whereever, it's my job."

After sending Li Changkong to the plane, the "angel round" financing of the space elevator has come to an end, and the next thing is to wait for the experimental demonstration results of experts from all parties.

Professionally, Chu Guang didn't know anything about it, and all he could do was to help the researchers of the alliance fight for more resources and support them outside the laboratory as much as possible.

Due to the fact that the representatives of the Ideal Group were in a hurry and left without eating lunch, Chu Guang's schedule suddenly became empty.

Just when Chu Guang was staring at the holographic screen and thinking about what to do next, Xiao Qi suddenly came out of the screen and said with a worried face.

"It's better for the host to take a proper rest, it's rare to have so much rest time. Or...... How about going to the beach to see a bikini? ”

This is the information she climbed into from a post on the forum titled "Top 10 Recommended Ways to Play Fun to Casual Games", which is said to be a way to make the mood happy.

However, after hearing its words, Chu Guang almost choked on his own saliva, and black lines couldn't help but appear on his forehead.

What a strange form of entertainment this is.

Not right-

Which clever guy did this guy learn from?

"Huh? Don't like it? That...... A reply from a player with a big eye on ID debt, there is an exotic alley in the mysterious Golden Gallen Harbor - "

"Let's go to Kitajima Heavy Industries. Xiaoqi, arrange it for me. Before the mentally retarded could finish speaking, Chu Guang interrupted its mindless speech.

Hearing that it was the arrangement of work again, Xiao Qi sighed helplessly, and said in a long tone.

"Okay...... Master. ”

Although it also understood that Chu Guang had a lot of important work to deal with, it still hoped that he would have a good rest.

Since the end of the Battle of Paradise, he said that he had come to the southern seas for a vacation, but he had not been idle for a moment......

For Chu Guang's sudden visit, all the senior executives of Beidao Heavy Industry were flattered.

Some of them are surprises, and naturally some are shocks.

No way.

There were too many equipment produced by them found in Haiya Province, and although the alliance did not trouble them in the end, they just went through the normal process of bankruptcy reorganization, business splitting, and capital injection and holding, but they still couldn't stop their worries.

Especially this time it is not the head of the party, but the manager of the alliance!

With such a high level, no one can be sure what it means.

Seeing that the team was about to arrive, the CEO of Kitajima Heavy Industries could only bite the bullet and come downstairs with a group of high-level officials.

Seeing that the off-road vehicle produced by himself was parked at the door, the CEO hurriedly took the initiative to greet him, personally helped Chu Guang open the car door, and said with a courteous face.

"Dear Mr. Manager, what wind brought you here?"

Of course, Chu Guang couldn't tell him that he didn't actually have any special purpose, but the afternoon itinerary was temporarily canceled, so he came here to pass the time.

As a result, I didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic, and everyone was crowded downstairs like a team building.

Not wanting to disturb their work, Chu Guang said with a gentle smile.

"You guys just do your own thing, don't worry about me, I'll just take a look."

Hearing this, all the high-level officials looked at each other, and they didn't understand what this big guy meant.

Seeing that they looked like they were waiting for battle, Chu Guang knew that if he really left them alone, maybe they would be left unguarded and the day after tomorrow.

So Chu Guang glanced left and right, and his gaze fell on the CEO.

"You're not busy, are you?"

The CEO quickly stood up straight, and almost put his fist to his chest in a military salute.

"Not busy! If you have any requirements, we will fully cooperate! ”

"Don't be so serious," Chu Guang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and the flattered latter said in a friendly manner, "Let the others disperse, you can just take me on a tour of your production line." ”

"Yes!"

The CEO replied with a red face, and then looked back at the group of executives behind him.

"The managers are here to visit our production line! It's all gone! What to do, what to do! ”

Hearing the leader's words, the executives breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed from the square under the building.

Looking at their cautious appearance, Chu Guang was also quite helpless in his heart, but it was not easy to say anything.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice.

"Xiaoqi."

"What's wrong, master?"

"What did you tell them when you helped me arrange my trip?"

A mischievous snicker can be heard in the communication channel.

"Hey...... I didn't say anything, but the respected manager was going to inspect it, let them look at it themselves, and come out to greet it. ”

And so it was.

Chu Guang sighed and counted a sentence.

"Don't do anything like this next time."

"Uh......h Didn't the host like it? ”

The aggrieved voice came from the communication channel, and Chu Guang couldn't bear to criticize it for a while.

"Power is a double-edged sword, and we must be extremely careful when using it. Especially now that the sword is getting heavier and heavier. ”

"I hope you can convey what I mean more accurately next time, to be serious when you should be serious, to be tactful when you should be tactful, instead of doing something superfluous with assertions...... Especially for something as boring as trying to make me happy. ”

"Xiao Qi knows it's wrong...... Sorry, master. The aggrieved voice sounded like it was introspective.

Chu Guang knew that Xiao Qi was also kind, and he didn't mean to make a prank, so he didn't criticize it too much.

However, what Chu Guang didn't notice was that the original red expression of the CEO walking next to him turned into the previous anxious expression because of his sigh.

All the way, he wondered where he had offended the manager.

At this moment, Lu Bei, who had been following Chu Guang closely without saying a word, suddenly took a few steps forward and whispered a few words next to Chu Guang.

"Sir, the matter you asked me to check has a result."

Chu Guang immediately stopped, looked at him and asked.

"Say."

Lu Bei gave a few guards next to him a look, motioned for them to block irrelevant personnel aside, and lowered his voice to continue to Chu Guang.

"According to our informants in the Falcon Kingdom, a shipment of arms has indeed recently left the southern side of the Falcon Kingdom and traveled through the eastern part of the Great Desert to the southwestern part of Borneo Province."

"Westsail Harbor?"

"Not sure...... What we can be sure of is that this batch of munitions from the Waifu Wasteland did appear in Borneo Province, and we have the complete chain of evidence. ”

Chu Guang's eyes narrowed dangerously.

These big noses......

actually dared to make small moves under his nose, and he really regarded the alliance as a soft persimmon.

"Pass my orders, and all the Willantes' munitions will be dragged back from wherever they came from! In addition, send a copy of the evidence you have to Cheng Yan. ”

Lu Bei's expression was solemn and he stood on the right path.

"Yes!"

As soon as his words fell, a noisy voice came from the side.

"My lord, I have been wronged! Listen to me! ”

The voice was as if there was a great grievance.

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction where the voice came from, but saw that the CEO of Beidao Heavy Industries looked stupid, there was no trace of blood on his pale face, and he stretched out his hand and tried to squeeze beside him.

The two guards in front of him were confused, not knowing what this guy was crazy about, but they still dutifully stopped him with their arms.

His immediate boss is reporting secrets to his esteemed manager, how could they let this guy squeeze in and eavesdrop!

Seeing that he did not listen to the dissuasion, one of them pressed him to the ground on the spot with a force on his arm.

All members of the Guards Regiment are awakened, and that power is naturally not something that ordinary people can break free.

It happened too suddenly, and Chu Guang was also wronged by this guy.

He thought to himself that he didn't say that this guy was guilty.

Lu Bei glanced at the guy who obviously had a ghost in his heart with a subtle expression, and then cautiously looked at the manager standing beside him.

"Or ...... I check? ”

Chu Guang sighed.

"Hurry up and help people up."

Lu Bei hurriedly responded.

"Yes ......" (End of Chapter)
