Chapter 758 Common Problems of Large Enterprises
? On the top floor of the Central Building, Jiang Chen stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment and had a panoramic view of the city's streets. For this grand opening of Penglai City, this is undoubtedly the best special seat for viewing.
There were crowds of people in the distance, and it was dark as far as the eye could see. Although he couldn't see the expressions of every face in the crowd clearly, he could feel the strong enthusiasm of the people from a distance.
The edge of the island is paved with sandy beaches, scattered with emerald green coconut trees, along the street inwards, and subtropical trees are planted along the roadside. Although the focus of Penglai City is high technology, Jiang Chen did not ignore the importance of greening. Looking around, you can clearly see the dotted emerald green in the entire steel and concrete jungle.
The sea breeze blew across the road, and the shadows of the trees swayed slightly, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot air.
In addition to AR, holographic images, maglev train traffic and other selling points, another big selling point of this Penglai city is drones.
Future Heavy Industry has designed the beta series of drones for Penglai City, of which beta1 is a fire-fighting drone and beta2 is a police drone. These two drones will provide intelligent services for fire protection and public security in Penglai City.
If there is a fire, there is no need for fire trucks to be dispatched, and firefighters risk their lives to rush into the fire scene. Dozens of drones will fly over directly, and the fire can be controlled in the first place. Where there is a crime, after receiving the alarm, the drone hive deployed nearby will immediately release the drone to control the criminal before the police arrive.
While relieving traffic pressure, it also improved execution efficiency and cut a lot of municipal expenditures. With the cooperation of drones, the work that originally required five policemen to complete is now more than enough with only one policeman.
Penglai City will serve as a pilot for firefighting and public security drones. Once it proves that this model is feasible, the Presidential Palace will promote it throughout the country.
At the same time, the logistics drone that Future Heavy Industry is designing will soon be put into production, and will first complete the orders for the Penglai logistics center and various shopping malls in Penglai. At that time, 500,000 logistics drones will support the delivery business of express delivery and takeaway in the whole city. Even if you stay at home, you can buy your favorite products and enjoy the food of five-star restaurants
Just as Jiang Chen was looking at the street scene outside the window and imagining the bright future of Penglai City, Jane's holographic bust appeared on the table beside him.
"Someone is looking for you outside the door, it's your eo."
"Let her in."
"Yes." Jane nodded, and the image disappeared from the table.
There was a soft noise from behind,
The elevator doors opened. Xia Shiyu walked into the house and stood beside him.
"Thank you for your hard work." Turning to look at Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen said.
Xia Shiyu shook her head, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
"This is my job, it's hard work."
I don't know if it was because of the "candid meeting" last time, but Jiang Chen always felt that Xia Shiyu looked at him with a slightly different color. He couldn't tell what kind of color it was, but when it met inadvertently, it was inexplicably exciting. It's still the same at work, but it's especially noticeable once you're in your personal space.
"How's the situation outside? Didn't there be a safety accident?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Xinghuan Trade has handled the security work well, it seems that we have nothing to worry about." Xia Shiyu said.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded.
127,000 people flooded into Penglai City at the same time, which undoubtedly caused a huge traffic load. If a stampede or other accidents occurred accidentally, it would undoubtedly cast a shadow over the name of Penglai City.
"There is news from the Boston consortium. Mr. Carson Lodge asked if we are interested in building a satellite city for Hawaii. There is also news from Saudi Arabia. The Saudi royal family hopes that we can build a palace on the sea for them, built on the Persian Gulf. "
"Just tell me how many orders you have," Jiang Chen said.
"Future Heavy Industry has not yet signed, so it can't be regarded as an order." Xia Shiyu pushed the frame on the bridge of her nose, retrieved the holographic image from the uture worn on her wrist, and gently pushed it in front of Jiang Chen, "Deadline As of an hour ago, Future Heavy Industry has received a total of 218 letters of intent for cooperation related to the offshore city project, of which 14 are from state organizations and 204 are from private companies.”
An investment of 20 billion U.S. dollars has created a value of 100 billion U.S. dollars. With such a high return on investment, there are naturally many conglomerates who are jealous. Expansion to the ocean has always been one of the strategic priorities of many coastal countries, and the business opportunities in this are simply immeasurable
After Jiang Chen thought for a moment, he spoke.
"In the future, Renhe has no new plans for the construction of a sea city, but it may open orders next year, so let's reply to them for the time being."
Tens of billions of projects seem to be very profitable, but compared to the production capacity they occupy, the rate of return is not as high as imagined. At present, the industrial capacity of the Future Group basically relies on the high-tech industrial park on Anga Island in the country, and the New Malaysia Special Zone on the island of Papua. The production capacity is not high enough to be "wasted" casually.
What's more, he wants to build a "Babel Tower"
Regarding Jiang Chen's choice, Xia Shiyu just nodded. Although from the standpoint of the group eo, she is more inclined to export offshore city projects to expand the company's profits. However, she also believed that Jiang Chen must have his reasons for making such a decision.
This tacit understanding of unreserved trust has been established as early as the establishment of Future Technology.
However, sometimes Jiang Chen is good at making claims, which also gives her some headaches.
"Speaking of which, have you made any moves recently?" Xia Shiyu asked after a pause.
"Well, it's related to spaceflight." Jiang Chen nodded.
Xia Shiyu sighed, stretched out her hand and pushed the eyes on the bridge of her nose.
"Really? If it's confidential, I won't inquire about it. But in the future, when you allocate funds through the company's finances, you should tell me in advance, okay? Injecting 20 billion yuan, in order to raise the money, the finance department cut off all the funds approved by Future Life. Just now, Tao Ming was still protesting to me, asking me what happened, the money are used to expand production.”
Speaking of this, Xia Shiyu didn't continue talking, but looked at Jiang Chen with a slightly complaining look.
Seeing that his sloppy actions actually made such a mess, Jiang Chen was also a little embarrassed. At that time, he didn't think about it so much. Kerwin reported the budget to him, and he directly approved it. The space elevator can be built with only 20 billion. His only thought at the time was that it was really cheap
"Sorry, I'll talk to you later."
Xia Shiyu, who was used to wiping Jiang Chen's ass in the group's management, didn't say anything, but made a hopeful expression.
At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered a question.
"By the way, you said that our liquidity is not very abundant, right?"
Xia Shiyu replied professionally.
"This is a common problem with any large company, unless"
"Unless we open a bank." Jiang Chen said immediately.
Xia Shiyu was stunned. Although what she wanted to say was to maintain a good cooperative relationship with the bank, Jiang Chen's opinion seemed to be correct.
After pausing for a moment, she nodded and said.
"That's right, unless we open a bank." To be continued.
