This Game Is Too Realistic

It is definitely an unexpected surprise for Chu Guang to be able to pull the big tree of the company into the car at the "angel wheel" stage.

Originally, he thought that if he wanted to let companies enter the game, he would at least have to wait until the experimental demonstration had results.

After all, based on Chu Guang's understanding of this group of people, they are all masters who don't let go of eagles when they see rabbits.

At the beginning, the companies were exported by the legion, and the council still held a tepid meeting for a month before making up its mind to send reinforcements to the alliance.

But now Li Changkong just took a look at the alliance's offshore engineering equipment and the construction site that had already started and lost his temper. Chu Guang was really surprised.

Although Ideal Group is not the same as a company, there is no difference for Chu Guang.

After all, what he needs is the "wonder construction experience" of the Ideal Group and various engineering talents. It may not be easy to switch to 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 at the Beidao Hotel, the highest-standard hotel there.

Such a big matter is obviously not something that a manager can decide on his own.

Chu Guang knew that he needed to communicate with other shareholders of the Ideal Group, so he did not rush him. He just gave him the project plan, concept drawings and other miscellaneous things, and asked him to take them back to the hotel and slowly Research.

Li Changkong thanked him for his kindness, and then locked himself in the hotel without any movement. During this period, 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 Ideal City, it can still be contacted through the alliance as a springboard.

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

Although the communication channel width is limited, at least there is no need to rely on airplanes to send messages for small things, and satellites of the People's Federation for big things like before.

Chu Guang did not have to wait for long. On the third day after the first meeting between the two parties, the representative from the Ideal Group made an appointment with him again.

The venue for the meeting between the two parties was set at the Beidao Hotel.

After these three days of discussion, Ideal Group has made a preliminary intention to cooperate, and this time the two parties started to negotiate on the specific details of the cooperation.

"...According to corporate laws, we, the Ideal Group, cannot make decisions on our own for such a large project with an estimated total price of more than 10 billion Cr. The decision must be approved by the board of directors. But you don't need to worry about this matter, we will Try to convince the other members of the council, just get half of the seats to vote in favor."

This is not a difficult problem for Ideal Group.

First of all, there is no direct conflict of interest between the space elevator and several other groups, and it is not as sensitive as the "bionic man's participation in public affairs" proposed by Kangmao Group before.

Furthermore, the Ideal Group also has good reasons. If it wants to solve the future energy crisis in Ideal City, it must resume the Earth-to-Moon flights before the energy is exhausted.

Based on these two factors, the vote of the board of directors is probably just a formality, and the Ideal Group will most likely encounter no resistance.

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

Chu Guang knew a lot about the rules of Ideal City, so he didn't feel anything when he heard Li Changkong's words. Instead, he was relieved that he didn't raise any objection to the estimated cost of "100 billion silver coins."

This number is actually a conservative estimate he made based on the opinions of the scientific expedition team. The final actual expenditure may not be this much, but it may be one zero more than this.

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

As the manager of the construction department, Li Changkong obviously knew this, so he did not find any fault with the budget, but only raised questions about a few unclear points in the plan.

"I noticed that in addition to the space elevator itself, your plan also mentioned guiding survivors from the eastern provinces to migrate to the coastal areas... What is this?"

This part is written at the end of the plan.

Although it didn't take up much space, it was just mentioned casually, but because this part of the content was not mentioned by the Alliance at the Sticky Community Conference, it still aroused his curiosity.

Chu Guang didn't whet his appetite and stated his plan straightforwardly.

"This part of the plan is our latest addition. In addition to building a space elevator in the southern sea, we also plan to build ten coastal settlements on the eastern coast of Middle-earth to resettle survivors in the wasteland. At the same time, we also plan to focus on Develop industries related to outer space development.”

Such as space junk salvage and sorting.

After all, the space junk floating in outer space will most likely end up in the sea beneath his feet. Picking up garbage in the sea and panning for gold from garbage will definitely become a popular industry.

It's unrealistic to expect those wastelanders to help build spacecraft, but there's nothing wrong with letting them do their old job of scavenging.

By then, the southern seas will surely be much more lively than now.

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

Such as establishing order, popularizing education, etc.

And when these settlements develop into settlements that are not inferior to Dawn City, Boulder City, and Dawn City, they can also use their light and heat to follow the footsteps they came from, towards the vast no-man's land in the eastern provinces. radiation.

This strategy actually has another benefit: it can create a population siphon effect in most of the chaotic areas in the eastern provinces.

It is difficult for a predator who does not produce anything to survive alone in the wilderness.

As the number of people who can suck blood gradually decreases, they either give up their primitive tribal lifestyle and try to farm and produce on their own. Or they can only give up the base at their feet and follow the southward migrating people towards the coastline.

Not only the plunderers, but also the slave owners, large and small. As there are fewer and fewer new blood and caravans, life will definitely not be as easy as before.

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

When only raiders, mutants, slavers, mutant slime molds, and xenomorphs are left in the eastern provinces, the Alliance will be able to clean up the mess more efficiently.

Li Changkong was stunned for a moment. The first thing that came to his mind was not the alliance's layout behind these ten settlements, but something else.

"Isn't there... a risk of being attacked by aquatic mutants?"

Chu Guang explained patiently.

"Aquatic mutants are certainly dangerous, but there are also many dangers on land, not to mention that there are also mutant activities on land. When settlements are established along the coast, at least the South Sea Alliance fleet can help patrol, and if the location of the mutant lair is determined , our Conch dive carrier will also bring ground troops to help clear it up. Overall, these ten settlements will not be more dangerous than the original living environment of the Wastelanders."

Li Changkong nodded.

This sounds quite reliable.

After all, he knew the Alliance's army. Those guys were much more ruthless than the mutants. I heard that they killed the murlocs kept in captivity by the Torch Church on the Death Coast until they were running away.

There was just one thing he didn't understand.

"...Is this also part of the space elevator plan?"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"That's not true, but we plan to advance this work simultaneously with the space elevator project."

After a pause, he continued.

"This is a long-term plan. In the future, we plan to build the southern coastline into a new 'Ring Space Elevator Industrial Zone', just like the four major industrial zones surrounding the old space elevator."

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

"I see……"

Simply building a space elevator is not enough. There must be supporting industrial and logistics facilities nearby to process the resources transported from space to the surface into products.

The People's Federation once chose to build the sky elevator in the middle of the relatively sparsely populated Central Continent, and then gradually moved the population and jobs in 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. The building ruins there are astronomical as the garbage floating in outer space.

However, the southern sea area is an unexplored Feng Shui treasure land!

Thinking of this, Li Changkong's eyes became brighter and brighter. 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 also showed a happy smile on his face.

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

Li Changkong said with a smile.

"This small favor is nothing...but I still have to say it first. After all, Ideal Group is a listed company. We need to be responsible for our own shareholders and financial statements. We cannot assist you in construction in coastal areas for free."

Chu Guang also smiled and said.

"Don't worry, I can clearly tell the difference between you and the council. This is purely a business cooperation, and we will pay the fees that need to 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."

"According to the terms you provided in the plan, we plan to bear one-third of the entire space elevator project cost, but the use and changes of the budget must be signed and approved by us."

"In addition, we have doubts about the allocation method of capacity quota. Considering that the space elevator is not only a transportation tool, but may also generate other benefits, we hope that you will adopt a more equitable allocation method, such as establishing a joint-stock project management company , replacing the 'one-third capacity quota' in return for our investment with 'one-third of the shares'."

One-third of the shares is not too much, after all, the entire space elevator is still in the stage of only having a PPT.

As for the Ideal Group's promise to "bear one-third of the expenses", the investment is all real money, and this investment is not a one-time investment, but will be followed up according to the adjustment of the project budget. The entire project is completed.

If the relationship between the two parties hadn't been close enough, and the alliance had given the Ideal Group hope that the pie would come true, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't have placed such a heavy bargaining chip right from the start.

Facing Li Changkong's request, although Chu Guang's heart was beating hard, it didn't show on his face, and he pretended to think deeply for a moment before speaking.

"That's no problem. The way we use capacity allocation is really not considered well by us. This can be improved according to your wishes. But on the contrary, I hope that you will provide not only funds, but also your valuable construction experience and related Technology… Simply put, we want you to be involved in our projects from the design stage.”

Li Changkong nodded readily.

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

"Let's stop flattering each other," Chu Guang coughed slightly and continued, "In addition, if it is a joint-stock system to distribute benefits, I hope to add a supplementary clause. If there are other people joining in the process, we will each hold shares will be diluted in the same proportion."

If it is one-third of the transportation capacity quota, he can agree to it to the company, but if it covers other income, he cannot be the scapegoat.

"No problem!" Li Changkong readily agreed, and continued, "But in contrast, we require the right to nominate new members and the right to veto... Of course, this is a reciprocal power. , you also enjoy it.”

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

Li Changkong smiled and said.

"Don't worry, our position is the same as yours on this point! Even if they are troublemakers like the Legion, as long as they keep their peace, we will not exclude them from joining the game, even if we have some historical grievances."

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

"I feel relieved now."

He does not object to this kind of exclusive cooperation agreement, but he is just worried that companies will take advantage of the advantageous position of joining first and use their opposition votes at will.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, companies are not legions, not to mention that the alliance and companies can always agree on "who is the troublemaker."

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

From this moment on, the "Ladder Orbital Transportation Company" was officially established, and the Ideal Group officially joined the space elevator project!

Ideal Group expects to form a team of experts with a scale of 1,000 people to invest in the project, and will dispatch a professional technical team to the southern seas in the near future to participate in the design of the elevator together with experts from the Alliance and the South China Sea Alliance.

In order not to delay the construction period of the project, Li Changkong immediately contacted his special plane after receiving the contract and asked it to park on the apron on the roof of the hotel and stand by.

Seeing Li Changkong who was about to leave, Chu Guang politely offered a word of caution.

"Why don't you stay here for a few more days? I also plan to take you to visit Coral City."

"Thank you for your kindness next time! After the project is launched, I'm afraid I will have to stay here permanently, and there will be no interruptions then."

After gently stacking the contracts in his hands, Li Changkong continued with a smile.

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

A big project worth 100 billion silver coins!

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

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

Not to mention the shareholders of Ideal Group, even the netizens on Duandian Cloud are hotly discussing the big pie five light years away!

He now bears not only the expectations of the Ideal Group's board of directors, but also the expectations of the entire Ideal City!

At least that's what he thought.

After hearing what Li Changkong said, Chu Guang nodded and stopped trying to stay.

"Thanks a lot."

Li Changkong nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"What's the matter? This is my job."

After sending Li Changkong to the plane, the financing of the space elevator "Angel Wheel" has come to an end. The next step is to wait for the experimental demonstration results of experts from all parties.

Chu Guang knew nothing about professional matters. All he could do was to help the researchers of the alliance to obtain more resources and support them outside the laboratory as much as possible.

Because the representative of the Ideal Group was in such a hurry that he left without even having lunch, Chu Guang suddenly had a lot of space in his schedule.

Just when Chu Guang was staring at the holographic screen and thinking about what to do next, Xiao Qi suddenly emerged from the screen and said with a worried look.

"Master, it's better to take a proper rest. It's rare to have so much rest time. How about... how about going to the beach to look at bikinis?"

This is the information she crawled from a post on the forum titled "Top Ten Recommended Ways to Play Happy Casual Games". It is said to be a way to make the mood happy.

However, after hearing its words, Chu Guang almost choked on his own spit, and black lines appeared on his forehead.

What a strange way of entertainment this is.

wrong--

Who did this guy learn from?

"Huh? Don't you like it? Then...a reply from a player with a big eye for ID debt, recommending that there is an exotic alley in the mysterious Golden Gallon Port——"

"Let's go and have a look at Beidao Heavy Industries. Xiaoqi, make some arrangements for me." Before the artificial retard could finish speaking, Chu Guang interrupted its mindless speech.

Hearing the work arrangements again, Xiao Qi sighed helplessly and said in a long tone.

"Okay...Master."

Although it also understands that Chu Guang has a lot of important work to deal with, it still hopes that he can take a good rest.

Since the end of the War in Heaven, he said he came to the southern seas for vacation, but he has not been idle for a moment...

All the senior executives of Beidao Heavy Industries were flattered by Chu Guang's sudden visit.

Some of them are surprises, and of course some are frightening.

no way.

They found too much equipment produced by them in Haiya Province. Although the alliance did not cause trouble for them in the end and just went through the normal process of bankruptcy and reorganization, business split, and capital injection, they still couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Especially this time it’s not Fang Chang, but the manager of the alliance!

No one is sure what it means at such a high level.

Seeing that the convoy was about to arrive, the CEO of Beidao Heavy Industries had no choice but to bite the bullet and came downstairs with a group of senior executives.

Seeing the off-road vehicle produced by his family parked at the door, the CEO quickly took the initiative to greet it, personally helped Chu Guang open the door, and said with an attentive look on his face.

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

Of course, it was impossible for Chu Guang to tell him that he actually had no special purpose. He just canceled his afternoon schedule and came here to kill time.

As a result, I didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic. A crowd of people crowded downstairs like a team building.

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

"Just do your own thing. Don't pay attention to me. I'll just take a look."

After hearing this, all the senior officials looked at each other in confusion, wondering what this big boss meant.

Seeing that they were ready, Chu Guang knew that if he really left them alone, they might be left unconscious until the day after tomorrow.

So Chu Guang glanced around and set his sights on the CEO.

"Aren't you busy?"

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

"You're not busy! If you have any requests, just ask us and we will fully cooperate!"

"Don't be so serious," Chu Guang smiled and patted him on the shoulder. The flattered latter said friendly, "Let the others leave. Just take me to visit your production line."

"yes!"

The CEO responded with a glowing face, then turned back to look at the senior executives behind him.

"The manager is here to visit our production line! Let's disperse! Go and do whatever you need to do!"

After hearing the boss's words, all the senior executives breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed from the square under the building.

Seeing how cautious they were, Chu Guang felt quite helpless, but it was hard to say anything.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something and lowered his voice.

"Xiaoqi."

"What's the matter, Master?"

"What exactly did you tell them when you were helping me arrange my trip?"

A naughty chuckle came from the communication channel.

"Hehe... I didn't say anything. I just want the respected manager to come to inspect and let them figure it out. Come out to greet them."

Sure enough.

Chu Guang sighed and scolded.

"Don't do such unnecessary things next time."

"Ugh... Master, don't you like it?"

A voice of grievance came from the communication channel, and Chu Guang couldn't bear to criticize it in harsh words.

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

"I hope you can convey my meaning more accurately next time, be serious when you should be serious, be tactful when you should be tactful, instead of doing some superfluous things presumptuously...especially in order to make me happy. matter."

"Xiaoqi knows I was wrong...I'm sorry, Master." The aggrieved voice sounded like he was reflecting.

Chu Guang knew that Xiao Qi also had good intentions and was not intentionally causing mischief, so he did not scold it too much.

However, what Chu Guang didn't notice was that the red expression on the CEO walking next to him turned into the uneasy expression before just because of his sigh.

Along the way, he was wondering where he had offended this manager.

At this moment, Lu Bei, who had been following Chu Guang silently, suddenly took a few steps forward and whispered a few words next to Chu Guang.

"Sir, the matter you asked me to investigate has come to fruition."

Chu Guang immediately stopped, looked at him and asked.

"explain."

Lu Bei glanced at the guards nearby, indicating that they should keep the irrelevant personnel aside, and continued to Chu Guang in a lowered voice.

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

"Sail Harbor?"

"Not sure...but what we can be sure of is that this batch of arms from the Weifu Wasteland did appear in Borneo Province, and we have a complete chain of evidence."

Chu Guang's eyes narrowed dangerously.

These big noses...

He actually dared to do something small under his nose. He really treated the alliance as a soft persimmon.

"Give me my order to drag all the weapons of the Weiland people back to where they came from! In addition, send a copy of the evidence you have to Cheng Yan."

Lu Bei looked solemn and stood at attention.

"yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, noisy sounds came from the side.

"Sir, I was wronged! Please listen to my explanation!"

The sound sounded like a huge injustice.

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the CEO of Beidao Heavy Industries looking stunned, with a pale face without a trace of blood, and stretching out his hands to try to squeeze beside him.

The two guards who were blocking him looked confused. They didn't know why this guy was so crazy, but they still dutifully stopped him with their arms.

His immediate boss was reporting secrets to the respected manager, how could they let this guy squeeze in and eavesdrop!

Seeing that he refused to listen to the dissuasion, one of them pushed his arm hard and pushed him to the ground on the spot.

All members of the Guards are Awakened, so that power is naturally not something ordinary people can break free from.

The thing happened so suddenly that Chu Guang couldn't bear to be punished by this guy's unjust words.

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

Lu Bei glanced subtly at the guy who was obviously harboring evil intentions, and then looked cautiously at the manager standing beside him.

"How about... let me check?"

Chu Guang sighed.

"Hurry up and help the person up."

Lu Bei responded quickly.

"Yes..." (End of this chapter)
