MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 366 Investment place [latest update]
Chapter 366 Investment Site 【Third Watch】
(the first update)
…
The problem of Tiger going abroad is basically settled, but An Feng has other considerations.
Since the robot company's bionic technology has made great progress, it has met the requirements for mass production, but An Feng asked Hoffman to continue the research and development of the second generation after the first generation technology is complete. That is to say, machines that are more flexible, more streamlined, and able to accept the control of the central brain.
What An Feng needs is what can be controlled collectively. Therefore, although the robot has made a huge breakthrough, the company is still low-key, and their goal is the second-generation robot. The company declares that its purpose is to serve the society, it does not involve any military technology, it is just an intelligent family nanny.
Speaking so far away means that the robot is about to be mass-produced, but Anfeng has yet to find a suitable place. The pit being dug by the Texas hunting ground is counted as one. According to the original idea, more than one robot base needs to be set up. In case of any emergency, it must be mobilized in all directions.
An Feng intends to set up a second base in Africa. On the surface, it is for industrial machine research and development, nuclear energy research and development-nuclear fusion research is not strictly controlled by the United States, because technology is difficult to achieve. But after the emergence of superconductors, confinement of thermonuclear reactions has been one step closer to success.
Deuterium, the fuel required for thermonuclear reactions, is abundantly stored in seawater. 30 mg of deuterium can be extracted from 1 liter of seawater. Nuclear reactors are built on the seashore, and the fuel in seawater can be directly extracted. It is not appropriate to place all the considerations related to seawater extraction fuel technology and cost issues in the United States.
After thinking about it, An Feng still thinks to put the robot industry and nuclear industry in Africa, in Tanzania, which he is more familiar with. He got in touch with the President of Tanzania through Bazel's relationship.
An Feng said that he wants to invest in the establishment of factories in coastal areas to engage in the research and development of smart industries, as well as clean power generation and seawater desalination technologies. The initial investment amount is about 300 million US dollars, which will bring hundreds of local jobs and drive local economic development and so on.
Negotiations went smoothly, and Hassan was eager to have businessmen invest and pay taxes to promote local economic development. An Feng made a lot of hype, the robot army was said to be a smart industry, and nuclear energy was said to be a clean power generation... just passed the test by fooling around. Hassan welcomed this large foreign project on the phone.
Hasan finally said: "Our land management department will assist you in finding a suitable investment location."
"Thank you, Mr. President, I hope we can have a successful cooperation." An Feng said.
After this matter is settled, the next step is to choose the location. The environment in Africa is not good, especially in tropical countries. It is hot all year round. The location you choose should be cooler and close to tourist areas... The coast of Zanzibar Island is good, but boring You can also go to the island for vacation.
After having a general idea, An Feng then looked for employees who were willing to go to the local area to do scientific research.
Everyone is still a little hesitant about going to Africa. Those who have families are unwilling to separate. Even if they can bring their families to work, the local conditions are not very good. But in the face of the opportunity of being successful and living a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing, some people are still willing. A researcher named Bill Cook from the nuclear power project team entered Anfeng's list. He is very happy and willing to lead his research and development team to the local inspection.
In fact, even if they go there, they are very comfortable. Naturally, they are not the ones to do the construction, let alone they can’t do it, right? At most, after the United States confirms the correctness of the technology, go to Africa to stay for half a year, command the construction team to complete the task and return to the United States.
For the choice of construction team, Anfeng is interested in Chinese overseas construction companies. Caucasians are too lazy and charge high prices, so they will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing. China’s engineering construction is solid, no matter how bad the conditions are, as long as there is a project, they can go there Challenging and accomplished, and reasonably priced too.
After the whole process was conceived, An Feng handed over the task to his team and asked them to plan carefully.
In late October, An Feng went to China to participate in the establishment ceremony of the "Bruce Racing Foundation" in S City, with a capital of 300 million RMB and a staff of around 20. An Feng also invited Shang Xiong and his friends. The profit of the foundation is the responsibility of the elites, but how to choose the aid target?
This point needs to be managed by professionals who are familiar with racing. An Feng gave Shangxiong a few part-time jobs. The salary is very good. They don’t have to come to work all day, or even half a year. They are responsible for finding and funding racing teams in need. , to spend the profits of the Foundation.
Shang Xiong is very satisfied with this part-time job, although he will be fired if he does not do well... But at least their team has received assistance from the foundation, can prepare more parts for the car, carry out professional modification, and have funds for field practice... The goal is Participate in national competitions next year.
After dealing with these matters, An Feng returned to California to prepare for this arduous trip to Africa.
…
There are many things to do, but it was finally completed in early November.
The team going to Africa is concentrated at Los Angeles International Airport. The domineering Boeing 787-VIP business jet of the Blueline family is ready and is currently parked in a dedicated plane for loading. The accompanying research team needs a lot of luggage, and the tiger's big cage also needs to be used. The machinery is hoisted up.
The tiger’s inspection went smoothly. There was an advance greeting from the state government and a signature from the animal research institution. I’m afraid that even a dinosaur would be allowed to leave the country. Luxury after fifty people capacity.
Six stewardesses were in place, and there were quite a few guests this time, including An Feng and his wife, three assistants and five bodyguards, eight Americans who rushed to the African Animal Research Institute, and ten people from Angus Industries headed by Bill Cook. staff. After everyone arrived, the plane was ready to depart.
Large planes take off with more procedures. Fortunately, the luxurious planes divert their attention, and they don’t feel the passage of time. They return to their seats only after hearing the sweet voice of the stewardess. The first destination of the plane is New York. If the direct flight from Los Angeles to the destination reaches more than 17,000 kilometers, even a large aircraft like the 787 cannot reach the destination at one time.
The plane landed in New York halfway, and the whole journey is expected to take more than 20 hours, which is a challenge for passengers. Fortunately, the seats of luxury planes are all first-class specifications, and they can be put down and sleep on a half-lying position. Anfeng is more comfortable here, in addition to the room, there is also a bathroom where you can take a bath.
When flying overhead in the United States, everyone is more excited. Go around, watch a big-screen movie, or go to a bar to have a glass of wine and listen to music. After six or seven hours, they land in New York. After waking up, An Feng passes through a dedicated channel. Come to the cargo hold and feed the tiger with food.
Xiaobai stayed in the iron cage obediently, not used to the crowded place, when he saw An Feng, he yelled in a low voice, as if he was telling his grievances, An Feng smiled and stroked its big head: "Ren Ren just It's over, and then you'll have a long, long vacation."
"Let's eat first." An Feng threw a piece of fresh meat specially brought on the plane into the cage.
Xiaobai seemed to understand, and when he saw the meat, he had a big appetite, and he started to bite it, and made the cage louder, protesting against these sturdy things, An Feng stayed with it for a while, and got the plane after leaving the United States. , to release it. It had to be put back on before landing.
Two hours later the plane took off again.
The flight attendant's voice sounded, reporting the destination, flight distance and time, flight speed and flight altitude. I still have to fly 13,000 kilometers, and I will sleep for a long time after that. Including Xiaobai who was released, occupying a big sofa and dozing off lazily.
An Feng adjusted the lights in the room to night, and slept in a comfortable environment. When the flight attendant's announcement sounded, the destination was about to arrive. The flight attendant did not dare to wake up the tiger. Although it looked harmless to humans and animals, But the size is too terrifying, so he can only wake An Feng up.
The final landing place of the plane was a city called Dar es Salaam on the coast of Tanzania. Conditions in the country's capital are poor in all aspects. The airport cannot land 787s. Only the largest city has a long enough runway. After the plane got in touch with the control tower, it landed on the airport smoothly.
Followed by unloading and customs inspection. In order to entertain investors from afar, the president sent special personnel to receive them. Even the tipping was handled by An Feng. After the unloading was completed, at noon, they first stayed in a local hotel.
The eight Americans who took the downwind plane left first, and they already had a pick-up plane.
The rest of the people go to the hotel. The local tourism conditions are not bad. Although Africa is poor, it is not a mess. This city of 6 million people is quite modern, and there are many resort hotels. The hotel An Feng stayed in claims to have the largest outdoor swimming pool in the city. You can soak in fresh water and look out at the Indian Ocean. .
But everyone didn't care about the swimming pool, so they took a rest early. Joanna took out the bio-drink she brought, drank a whole bottle, and then slept for an hour with the air conditioner on. When she woke up, her face was radiant and her previous vitality had been restored, and she even went for a swim in the water.
Real work pushed to the next day.
In the morning, An Feng took his assistant and the professional team of An's Industry, and followed the representatives sent by the government to start looking for suitable land. As the largest city in Dar es Salaam and an important port in East Africa, many foreign materials are loaded and unloaded here, with a high level of industry.
The environment is quite good. There are ports and airports that can dock large planes. It is very convenient for future cargo transportation. It is only 50 to 60 kilometers away from Zanzibar Island. The tourist environment is also very good... After a day of investigation, I will accompany you Professionals recommend the city's southern coast.
"The land in that area is flat, surrounded by excellent beaches, the sea is green, and there are roads nearby. The environment is quiet and suitable for investment." The receptionist of the government said kindly. It doesn't matter how green it is.
The experts of An’s Industry had a relatively high evaluation, and finally Anfeng also decided that they needed an industrial park with a coastline of one kilometer and a total area of about 800 acres, mainly for the development of smart industries, the construction of thermonuclear reactors and seawater. Desalination plant.
The government is naturally happy. Such a large piece of land has to pay a lot of taxes every year. If there are business activities, corporate income tax and other taxes must also be paid. Besides, it will stimulate local jobs, which will bring a lot of economic benefits and increase GDP. There is also a lot of help.
An Feng handed over the matter to the three assistants and the professionals present, who made plans, calculated investment funds, and negotiated with the government. As for An Feng, he was naturally not in the mood to participate in the lip service and financial calculations. He only needs the final result, and if he is satisfied, he will sign the contract.
Then he can prepare to walk the tiger.
