Chapter 199: Cultivation Center
However, for Elena, the biggest difference between Hutou Mountain and the last time she came here is not the addition of more high-rise buildings, but the smell of fireworks in the world.
Although the core of Hutou Mountain was also full of high-rise buildings, many of them were empty or under construction, coupled with restrictive policies, and there were no pedestrians on the streets except for heavy trucks and workers, like a silent dead city.
But now the street where I am located is bustling, with pedestrians from all over the world mixed together, and even the surrounding electronic billboards are written in a mixture of French and Chinese.
If it weren't for the 60s billboards on the side of the road, as well as a few OUC flags, Elena would have almost thought she was in the La Défense district of Carson City.
This can be regarded as the strength of the Eastern Union to show the president of the European Union, Elena, the future world financial center is here with us, and we only have policies for the construction of this area, basically without spending our own money, and it is all built by the friendly "funding" of the chaebol oligarchs.
"If you want to build such a large block, the investment should be a lot of money." Elena sighed.
"I calculate, this area is about 1.7 square kilometers, according to the average land price of 185,000 Donglian yuan per square meter, it is about 300 billion Donglian yuan, of course, at the same time to start the construction of such a number of office buildings, maybe the Chinese government also provides preferential treatment."
"Then I remember that a total of 17 office buildings over 500 meters and 2 skyscrapers of 700 meters were planned to be built, and the cost should be about 200 billion Donglian dollars, even if you count the investment in the surrounding infrastructure, it is so much."
"The two add up to 500 billion Donglian dollars, plus some tax exemptions may be less, it is estimated that there are not even 5 tmirds, plus investors are at least three digits, so it is not a lot of money for those chaebols."
(tmirds is the French word for 100 billion)
"After all, the people who can afford to invest in this special economic zone at this stage, especially those who directly invest in these big projects, are not ordinary people, OPEC and the energy oligarchs of the northern countries, the financial chaebols of the European Union, the tech giants of Cohen, and the foreign trade tycoons of Silla."
"These people belong to those who will not lack money, and they are all in monopoly industries, not to mention ordinary people and small enterprises, even our pivotal enterprises are slightly inferior in scale compared with these giants."
"What's more, they will also find ways to "borrow" money from those small investors, so they don't have to worry about money at all........"
Under the leadership of Zhou Xinming, Elena soon experienced the periphery of this financial area, and along the way, she saw a large number of branches and even headquarters of Dongwai institutions, which was a brief appreciation of the scenery of various countries.
For example, on the other side of Cohen's block, Apple and **** have built magnificent offices, eager to move the entire Wall Street and even Gotham City here as they are.
Even poor countries like Balsawa and Silla have companies building buildings and offices, but with the level of their economies, it is clear that they are engaged in the spiritual material trade, not the traditional trade. …
"This is Silla's Dongxin Friendship Group, which is responsible for exporting elixir resources such as dragon spirit fruit and Yunhuan grass, and has signed a long-term contract with our country." Looking at a high-rise building that has been put into use while it is still under construction, Zhou Xinming introduced.
"As for the building that resembles the Twin Towers over there, it's Taiyo Pharmaceutical from Taka over there, and they are currently cooperating with us, and we are considering an agreement on the export of Tsukidan.........
In fact, with the progress of Reiki's recovery, many poor countries have appeared in the territory of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and the governments of these countries immediately realized the business opportunities inside, and almost destructively developed the Cave Heaven Blessed Land within the territory.
Later, truckloads of elixirs and spirit crystals were transported to the Eastern Union Union, and thus exchanged for pills and talismans, which were used to supply the cultivation needs of domestic cultivators and high-level leaders.
Especially as a clean and hygienic Taka, after discovering a large cave blessed land in the territory, it has become the world's largest exporter of spirit crystals, and basically all the elixirs and spirit crystals in the territory have been sold to Donglian at a low price.
After all, a big country of the same size as Taka has to maintain a superficial situation more or less, and will store some cultivation resources by itself to meet the cultivation needs of ordinary people in the country.
In these years, this big country can still do something similar to the export of grain during the famine.
As for whether this will affect the general population because of excessive consumption of raw materials, destroying the flow of spiritual veins, or whether it will make the cultivation needs of the people in their own country unable to be satisfied, can it only be said that it has anything to do with the people who sell resources?
Not every country's government is keen on promoting the cultivation of the whole people, and some countries don't even want the people to participate in the cultivation at all.
After all, there are so many spirit crystal elixirs, if everyone is cultivating, wouldn't that mean that the elites' cultivation resources will be less, and the foreign exchange for their enjoyment will also be less?
And if everyone cultivates, what if someone is higher in cultivation than himself and his friends, and can even single-handedly pick out those "Speaker Guards" under his command who are armed with Type 56 assault rifles?
Anyway, just like a bear who can't eat enough in his own country, he can't develop any refining industry for pill talismans, so he just needs to sell some raw materials honestly.
It can only be said that the national conditions of each country are different, and a certain country has its own choice in dealing with the revival of Reiki, and OUCC has no will and ability, let alone the obligation, to force each country to follow its own system and policy.
Since these countries did not consider the cultivation needs of ordinary people and exported a large number of valuable cultivation resources to OUCC, then OUCC was also happy to import some mass-produced pills and talismans, and even specially formulated the pricing power of spirit crystals to turn these countries into raw material production areas.
But then again, the most tyrants in this area are naturally not the foreign trade state-owned enterprises and organizations of these poor countries, but the oligarchs from the European League, whose investments here are all in trillions of dollars.
After all, these friendly "guests" from the West have rented 7.5 square kilometers of surrounding land at a large price and built it into a huge central business district. …
Basically, the office buildings that are still under construction in a few nearby blocks are contracted by their companies, and the tower cranes near these buildings alone form a bustling skyline.
There are even hundreds of skyscrapers in the surrounding area, which are under the investment of these chaebol oligarchs to start construction at the same time, like a super giant ant nest, which will burn tens of billions of Donglian dollars every day.
However, this is not surprising to Elena, who had previously promised countless benefits to the Western plutocratic oligarchs in order to promote the unification of the Europa League and get rid of rivals and external threats.
And now she has also taken this opportunity to let OUCC strengthen its cooperation with the European Union, giving these people a chance to get close to the water.
Therefore, when these chaebol oligarchs of the European Union invested in these industries, they were basically not restricted by the Eastern Union government, and they all rushed into the Hutou Mountain area.
They also converted all the wealth they had exploited from the Third World from the Southern Continental Franc and the Coen Yuan into the red Eastern Union Dollar, and invested it in the Chaoge Lingnan Special Economic Zone.
Naturally, no one wonders why they threw the wealth of the West here, after all, the capitalists will sell the noose to the people who are about to hang them, and naturally they don't care about the development of their hometown.
Rich people who really believe in the righteousness of the country and the nation cannot be said to have none, but the number of people who are mentally handicapped may be small, and they are rare and valuable talents.
And after the two chatted about this matter for a few minutes, a man in black with a lofty spirit, surrounded by bodyguards, walked out of the nearby "Dongxin Friendship Group".
"By the way, this is Mr. Kang Won-seung, the representative of the Silla side, that is, the commander-in-chief of the Silla Special Operations Army and the head of the Silla Extraordinary Division, I believe you and he already know him." After seeing the other party coming, Zhou Xinming immediately introduced with a smile.
"Madam Speaker and Deputy Zhou, what a blessing, it is a great honor to meet you and Representative Zhou, and welcome both of you to visit the Democratic Republic of Silla in the future." Jiang Yuansheng also hurriedly said politely.
"You're welcome, Representative Jiang, I also hope that there will be close cooperation between the two countries, and I hope that there will be ....... when the time comes," Zhou Xinming and Elena also immediately said politely.
To be honest, Elena and Jiang Yuansheng met as old friends, and the two were not bad in private or at the international level.
After all, it was Elena who established a unified European League diplomatic caliber that made the Western world accept Silla as a country, and it was the Elena government that brought Silla into the WTO and other organizations representing the modern international community after controlling the European League.
So on the way, the two quickly talked together, of course, what they were talking about was not what Zhou Xinming cared about, anyway, it must be something that was not good for Cohen, this is their own business.
After walking for a while, the three of them left the foreign neighborhood in which the Europa chaebols had invested and arrived at the Xia Fang business district in the center, where the Tiger Exchange building is located.
Compared to the previous neighborhoods, the Xia Fang business district is more lively, and the height of the buildings is more staggering, mainly because the Tiger Exchange is located here, and most of the world's companies are trying to squeeze in and get a piece of the pie at all costs. …
This also makes the Xia Fang business district can be described as an inch of land, and the land price once even exceeded one million Donglian yuan, so all parties naturally want to find ways to improve the efficiency of land use, so according to the plan of the Donglian government, it will be piled up by countless skyscrapers.
"Two friends, welcome to the Xia Fang Comprehensive Pilot Business District, which currently covers an area of 14.57 square kilometers and is the largest business district in the Chaoge Special Economic Zone, which will focus on finance, cultural media and high-end business and cultivation in the future."
"The building in front of us is called Feiyun International Financial Center, which is responsible for 13 construction companies such as OCI Group, and it is currently the largest large-scale commercial project in China, bringing together modern office, conference and sightseeing functions."
"Feiyun International Financial Center covers an area of about 300,000 square meters, and also uses unique spirit crystal alloy materials, as well as rune technology to strengthen the building structure and ensure the stability of the pillars and foundations in the building."
"The building is expected to be completed next year, when a large number of multinational companies have already booked to move in, according to the plan it is planned to be 1,100 meters high, about 300 meters higher than the Burj Khalifa in the eastern continent and western regions, and will become the world's tallest building."
Zhou Xinming pointed to these buildings to show the two of them while telling the things he had memorized in advance, which can be regarded as the time when OUCC once again took the opportunity to show its infrastructure strength after showing its financial strength.
"As for the building next to it is the Huisen Training Center, which is jointly invested by the Privy Council state-owned enterprises and a number of large enterprises, including the largest martial arts hall and hotel in our country at present, and is expected to cover an area of about 1,040 meters after completion.
"Huisen Building is a multi-functional building integrating seven-star hotels, catering, convention and exhibition centers, and cultivation facilities, in addition to this, it also has the ability to guide and use underground spiritual veins, which can pump a large amount of spiritual power located underground into the building."
"After completion, the Huisen Cultivation Center can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people to practice at the same time, is equipped with a large number of new cultivation equipment, and has a complete range of hotels, restaurants and entertainment facilities, which can ensure the students' three meals and accommodation."
"In addition to the public cultivation area, the high part of the Huisen Cultivation Center is also equipped with 3,000 deluxe single cultivation rooms and guest rooms, among which there are even cultivation rooms that are no less than those of a 7-star hotel, which are services prepared for private or foreign high-level cultivators."
"The two towers are interconnected on the ground floor and on the ground floor, creating a super-giant commercial area with shopping malls and restaurants."
"At that time, it will provide tertiary industries such as goods, services, exhibitions and entertainment with Xiuzhen characteristics, but this is a matter of the future, and the renovation work is still being carried out at this stage."
"In their vicinity, there are also four buildings with a height of more than 1,000 meters, for example, the one on the left is the science and technology building where the external office of the future Dongling Group is located."
"In addition to our offices, the building will also be leased to other companies to serve as an office building and ........."
With Zhou Xinming's introduction, the two quickly learned about the background story of the six-piece building with the Tiger Exchange as the core and the countless high-rise buildings around it, and these six-piece sets are the representatives of this financial district.
