Chapter 693: Repatriation meeting.
"Not a single new customer for a week? This world is so unfair…"
After hearing the news, Martin wished he could fly to China now and fight with the young chairman.
The phone call was over and the director of the Energy Agency, Aklan, was sitting on the couch, uneasy. Compared to Martin, who feared his business was threatened by sales shortfalls, Director Aklan was more concerned with the bigger picture, thinking about the impact of the Huge Industrial Monster on the United States?
This is the second time they have analyzed and studied Huge Industrial Monster's products. The first time there was no news in the press, but within the Pentagon, Huge Industrial Monster's product caused a lot of discussions.
It was the intelligence department that discovered the Huge Industrial Monster and cooperated with the Baojia Group to launch an alert robot. Baojia Group, which is located in the United States, is a defense contractor like Raytheon. Various weapons products of its products are supplied by this state-owned company to the Chinese military. Of course, they cooperated with Huge Industrial Monster, and they will naturally be noticed by intelligence personnel.
This is also related to the low security of the alert robot project. It was a low-sensitivity product expected to be rapidly promoted in overseas markets within a month and specifically aims to address the security issues of Chinese enterprises in Africa and desert countries.
In fact, after half a month, a watchful robot appeared on the African side. It was placed on the bank of the Nile in Sudan, while the 14th Bureau of China Construction was helping to build a bridge over the Nile. It is said that there was an armed robbery of the workers' dormitory in the area, so the Baojia Group sold them twelve security robots in one go. These powerful security robots, armed with machine guns, regularly stood guard around the construction base.
It is also this kind of alert robot that made the Pentagon realize for the first time that it was behind China in robotics and behind the Huge Industrial Monster. Luckily, the alert robot was just a security defense product, and suppressing those armed gangsters is like a god. However, when used in a great power confrontation, it will not have a good effect.
The Pentagon just thought that this idea was very good and the technical difficulty was not too difficult. They obtained similar robot technology materials after the collapse of Amano Heavy Industries and conducted research on similar products.
But...
But this time, the plasma battery has reached the key "equipment" level, and its appearance can bring qualitative improvement to China's military electronic equipment products. Especially in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles and small special submarines, it will bring an overwhelming advantage, and the United States, which has all the advantages, will fall from its throne.
After hesitating for a moment, Chief Aklan picked up the red phone on his desk. The appearance of such an old-fashioned phone from the 80s in this rather modern office, itself shows the peculiarity of this phone, especially since the director Aklan only pressed the 0 key.
"Hello, this is the President's office. I'm Assistant Weisz. Mr. Aklan, what's wrong with you?"
"I want to meet Mr. President and report back on the plasma battery," Aklan didn't need to be too polite to Weisz and certainly wouldn't put on airs.
"Okay, Mr. President is in Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, tending to food and clothing for the local bison. In forty-three minutes, Mr. President will be flying to Washington on Air Force One. ~ A video call on the plane. Well, I can organize fifteen minutes for you."
"Yes," Chief Aklan hummed.
......
When the Peregrine Falcon flew over India, passed over Bangladesh, and entered China's airspace, Ye Qing called the company to inform them of its arrival. An hour and a half later, the department head went to the conference room for a meeting.
It has been almost three days since he left China. During those three days, although the company could contact him by satellite phone if anything happened, there was no way to report on the progress of the company's various project plans one by one.
For ordinary companies in three days, there may be a project that has not yet been discussed. But in the Huge Industrial Monster, three days were enough to set up the project and unblock the situation.
By the time Ye Qing set foot on the land of Shanghai City, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Except for the two directors who were on a business trip, the other department directors were already sitting in the conference room, eagerly awaiting his return.
Upon entering the meeting room, Ye Qing found that these normally stable managers were staring at him one by one with eyes full of suspense. They did not allow themselves to wait for him to bring them gifts. Besides, there was nothing to bring to this damn place in Nigeria.
"Boss… Have you reached General Mopu's mining area?"
"Naturally, the government of Nigeria signed an official document to transfer the mining area to the Huge Industrial Monster for 50 years," Ye Qing waved his hand, his expression still the same as before entering the door, he no-showed no complacency, it seems to be just a trivial matter.
However, it seems those managers didn't mean it. When Ye Qing declared the transfer to be unconditional for 50 years, the whole conference room was in turmoil. They stood up and clapped their hands like a slot machine, with proud smiles on their faces.
"Thank you, thank you, let's do the meeting," Ye Qing once again greeted everyone without moving from their seats.
"What's happening in energy service centers while I'm gone?"
"Here is the boss report, the construction of the first batch of 100 energy service centers has begun." Wu Xiaofan, the director of the construction department, smirked. He tapped the tablet several times, and the large screen on the wall immediately showed Ye Qing a familiar image. It was a photo of the Tanjiawan International Automobile City in Bayu City. In the photo, there was no trace of the barren hills.
Instead, there are two long steel highways, rising directly from either end of Lot No. 1 and resting on the once barren hills. At the end of the road, an energy services center has taken shape, already in the photo. It was a black-brown asphalt square with an area even larger than that of the No. 1 plot. On the square stood beautiful columns with diamond-shaped polygons, the words Shi Lei Energy Service Center were on it engraved like a five-axis machining center, showing the strength and toughness of metal.
The main service center building had also entered the construction phase. By contrast, pitiful plot No. 1 was crushed underfoot, with only a few excavators clearing and leveling the ground, and only half of it cleared.
"Very well, then my German vice-president, Briganshaw, must be very happy to spend over 300 million to buy the first pitch."
"The next," The next photo was a photo of the Shanghai Energy Service Center: "Compared to Bayu City, Shanghai, which spans all of Pingchuan, was obviously much easier to build. The modular service center can erect the main body in about a week regardless of soil solidification time."
In the service center in this photo, the main structure was fully completed, and the interior decoration was transformed. Shanghai was the top priority of Shi Lei's automobile market, so it is also a construction project with the largest capital and labor investment, except for Bayu City.
After 20 days of construction and another five days, the Shanghai Energy Service Center can be put into operation. At that time, the country's first Shi Lei 4s store will be located here, attracting the attention of all over China.
After seeing more than 30 photos with different progress in a row, Ye Qing's mood became happier.
"Boss, I...I have some news that you won't be very happy with." After showing the photo, Yang Baihe, director of the propaganda department, carefully poured cooling water over Ye Qing.
