Chapter 70: Buy Two Get One Free
Three days later, the first shipment of the particle cannons traded in agricultural products was delivered to the Gulf of Guinea.
Li Mingyu took a bubble car to the port of the Gulf of Guinea to receive the goods, and even Wuma came with Li Mingyu.
The tanker transported the container full of agricultural and sideline products from the transportation and loading line to the port terminal, and Li Mingyu immediately commanded the engineering robot to lift the container on the rail car and quickly pulled it back to the new base.
The shelf life of agricultural and sideline products is too short, and it is difficult to store them for a long time without freezing treatment, and the oil tankers transported by these tankers have limited conditions, so they can only use the method of filling the container with ice cubes to extend the shelf life.
These agricultural and sideline products are all treasures in Li Mingyu's eyes, and whether or not the number of tourists visiting the new base can reach a new level depends on these things.
After properly storing these agricultural and sideline products with professional equipment, Li Mingyu began to work on the publicity of the new base.
In order for Wakaba to have a pivotal position in the world, whether it is economic, military or cultural, it needs to make a qualitative leap, and international influence is not based on the size of the country, and many factors may become the key point to improve international influence.
Some important strategic resources, key geographical locations, high-tech R&D bases, cultural influence, etc.
Wakaba's military strength is currently self-protecting, relying on Li Mingyu's newly built military factory, but the domestic resources, geographical location and cultural influence are almost negligible, and the only thing that can attract some tourists is this new base with a sense of science and technology.
But that's not enough!
Li Mingyu is ready to start from the cultural point of view and carry out an all-round transformation of the culture of Wakaba.
Before this, he had already discussed with Wuma, and Wuma was in favor of Li Mingyu's plan, as long as he was not allowed to talk about the money of the Wakaba government, even if Li Mingyu wanted to bulldoze the capital of Wakaba and rebuild it, he would have no opinion.
The transformation of culture starts with food.
At present, there are too few types of food in Wakaba, and there is a lack of professional catering personnel to promote the development of local food culture, and the cultural content is the shortcoming of the intelligent program, which can make a meal delicious, beautiful and nutritious, but it can not give the meaning of the food connotation of creation, and cannot arouse the emotional resonance of the eater.
Culturally, smart programs can't help Lee Ming Woo effectively.
But haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run away? In this regard, Li Mingyu's operation is also very simple.
Directly maximize the quality of the food! Take the ultra-high-end route!
When the new base was built, so many shops were reserved, wasn't it just to prepare for this day!
Forty high-end restaurants opened the next day in various areas of the new site.
These high-end restaurants are open to the public from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, and only a limited number of seats are open to the public every day to ensure the dining environment of the restaurant.
All of these restaurants are located on the top floor of the building, and the shortest restaurant is hundreds of meters high, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows that make diners feel like they are in the clouds, with snow-capped mountains and the sea in front of them.
On the day of the opening of the new store, Li Mingyu reserved himself a dining ticket for the restaurant next to the Central Building.
Tickets for these restaurants are released on New Base City's intranet every morning on a first-come, first-served basis, and the 800 tickets sold out within two minutes on the opening day.
The price of each voucher is $1,000, which is only the cost of the pre-booked meal, and the consumption at the restaurant is calculated separately.
To be honest, when Li Mingyu set this price, he felt that he was a bit of a black-hearted businessman, but in order to raise the grade of the restaurant, raising the price is the most direct and effective means.
Li Mingyu usually sleeps directly until twelve o'clock before getting up, but on this day he deliberately got up early and got up at eleven o'clock to start washing.
After a brief tidying up, he rode a bubble car to the building next to the Center Building.
This brings us to the benefits of bubble cars.
In the case of buildings several hundred meters high in the new site, it is slow to get from one building to another by regular elevators, but it is very time-saving if you move laterally by a bubble car.
Just like now, Lee Ming-woo lives on the top floor of the Center Tower, and the restaurant is located on the 182nd floor of the building next door.
If Li Mingyu wants to take the elevator down from the top floor of the Center Building, it will take 20 minutes to take the elevator, and it will take nearly 20 minutes to take the elevator from the first floor of the next building to the 182nd floor.
Therefore, the people living in the new base will rarely choose the time-consuming transportation of elevators, but prefer convenient and fast bubble cars.
The atmosphere of the newly opened restaurant is quiet, and inside a android sits on a piano stand in the corner, playing classical music with nimbly fingers.
It's past twelve o'clock, but the restaurant is still full, and everyone sits at the table and whispers while enjoying the scenery outside the window.
Restaurants in the clouds at a height of nearly 1,000 meters are not found anywhere, not to mention the snow-capped mountains and the sea, which are simply beautiful against the backdrop of large primeval forests.
Li Mingyu yawned, slowly walked to the table he had booked and sat down, the place he reserved for himself was the most open view, and the snow-capped mountains between the white clouds could be seen at a glance.
The waiters here are temporarily filled by androids, and may become one of the high-paying positions in Wakaba in the future.
There are not many restaurants, and they can accommodate four or five people at most, and they are usually foreign tourists, so the delicate and small distribution is more suitable for their needs.
Lunch was quickly served by the android, and a pitiful plate of caviar was placed in front of Li Mingyu.
All of these restaurants are designed to meet Michelin's specifications, both in terms of portions and dishes. Li Mingyu thinks that he has no talent for cooking, and he can't give any valuable advice, so he can only plagiarize.
Just copy the famous brand and you're done.
This plate of caviar made Li Mingyu understand that the degree of his heart was far from enough.
Originally, he thought it was too high when he ordered the $1,000 dining ticket, but this plate of caviar opened his eyes all at once.
Such a small amount, 30,000 US dollars.
In addition to caviar, there are foie gras and creamy chicken crisp boxes, all of which are cooked with fresh ingredients just arrived.
After the appetizer is the soup, to be honest, Li Mingyu is still not very accustomed to the taste of Western food, after all, according to his eating habits, he usually drinks soup after eating, and the soup of Western food pays more attention to appetizers, so it is placed after the main course in order.
Putting the soup aside, the android next served a few plates of seafood, marinated salmon, lobster in cheese sauce, etc., all of which were caught on the spot off the coast of Wakaba early this morning to ensure freshness.
After the seafood, it's the main course, which is also an important reason why Li Mingyu is ready to come and try it.
The Tingen state's order to trade tens of thousands of top-quality beef cattle for particle cannons was finally approved by artificial intelligence.
Now the agricultural cabin is also intelligent production of agricultural products, self-sufficiency in food and vegetables is basically no problem, but the intake of meat protein is still insufficient, there is little pork eaten in Wakaba, mainly beef-based, but Wakaba local beef cattle are not bred breeds, the meat quality is not tender enough, and the economic cost is very high.
Animal husbandry is a long-term process, the growth cycle of animals should be one year or one year, two years or two years, unless it is genetically improved, it is difficult to carry out intensive production in a short period of time.
Tingen country's beef cattle are world-famous, their country's export beef cattle have always been the first choice for high-end western restaurants to make steaks, these tens of thousands of first-class beef cattle in addition to supplementing the meat needs of the local people in Wakaba are mainly for the development of the next catering to provide high-quality ingredients.
Not only Wakaba, but most Western countries eat beef rather than pork, and once the restaurant industry develops in the new base, the demand for beef cattle is bound to skyrocket.
Li Mingyu came this time mainly to taste the taste of this high-quality steak.
A palm-sized steak was served on a delicate plate, surrounded by emerald vegetables, Li Mingyu picked up a knife and fork and cut a large piece and put it in his mouth, and the tender beef immediately overflowed with sweet juice.
"Well, Kuoto..."
Li Mingyu chewed the beef in his mouth vigorously and nodded with satisfaction.
If you want to let him say more praise, it's really a little difficult for him.
"Oh my God, the steak here tastes amazing, better than the last time I had at the Sisney restaurant, which I thought was top-notch." A middle-aged man in a white robe whispered to his companion next to him.
When the companion on the side heard this, he immediately picked up a knife and fork and cut a piece and put it in his mouth, and then gave a thumbs up while chewing to affirm the middle-aged man's words.
The middle-aged man in the white robe took a glass of freshly squeezed cherry juice, leaned back on a chair and looked at the stretching Kilimanjaro Mountains outside the window, and said with a sigh: "It's really beautiful here, the food is not only rich but also cheap, and the transportation facilities are even more advanced. ”
The companion who was focused on eliminating the steak on the table nodded approvingly: "I thought the same as you thought before I came here, this is a down-and-out country, but today their technology really shocked me, a building of more than 1,400 meters, oh my God, how did they transport concrete to such a high place?" The horizontal elevator is something I have never heard of. ”
"But the price of their stuff is really cheap, a cup of hand-ground coffee is only 90 US dollars, this high-quality caviar is 30,000 US dollars a piece, if it weren't for the impressive taste, I would have thought I had eaten a fake, this steak is cheaper, 3,000 US dollars a piece, last time we were at the Sisney restaurant it was 8,000 US dollars."
Li Mingyu took a bite of the steak and looked over with a frown: "??? ”
The two white-robed men sat on their chairs and chatted in a daze at the white clouds outside the window: "I really want to sit here for an afternoon, if I don't have a job, I'm willing to stay here all day." ”
"Don't be stupid, we also made an appointment with their president in the afternoon, and I don't know if they will sell us particle cannons, the minister only approved a budget of $200 million per unit for us before, and if they can't accept this price, we will be scolded when we go back."
Li Mingyu, who was on the side, heard this, didn't drink a mouthful of soup, and almost vomited, wiped his mouth sloppily and got up and walked over.
"Sir, particle cannons can be sold, not for 200 million US dollars, 100 million US dollars for one, how about buying two and getting one free?" Li Mingyu showed a lewd smile and asked politely.
