Extraterrestrial parasite - Chapter 467
c465 Construction mode (Part 2)
Considered a remote and uninhabited island, Chen Yang did not immediately start developing it after buying it. The land of more than 2,000 square kilometers is not too small. If he wants to build a modern city completely on this barren land, It may not be possible to invest more than 100,000 US dollars, and it is not a difficult task that an individual can complete.
Fortunately, Chen Yang doesn’t need to get it right in one step, nor does he need to undertake the construction alone. Sometimes he just needs to show his potential and future benefits, and it will naturally attract large investments without having to spend any money himself.
There was no time for construction in the first few months. By mid-December, near the end of 2015, Chen Yang was finally free to organize the construction of the first phase of the project.
The first planned area is the bay part of the island. The construction area is expected to be about seven square kilometers. It is hoped that the initial port development, as well as a five-star resort and an airstrip will be completed within six months. The total initial investment will reach 35. billion US dollars, a total of more than 21 billion yuan, and was constructed and developed by the world’s top VINCI construction contractor company and a number of top-ranked construction companies.

“Woooooooo…”
The violent wind sound of the rotating wings and the sound of the engine were deafening. Sitting on the seat and looking down, the island jungle hundreds of meters below was dense and stretched endlessly. It was connected with the islands and mountains in the distance, forming this absolutely nothing. A small pearl on the sea.
“This place is really not small…”
Wang Rui looked up with a telescope and couldn’t help but sigh.
Although such a large island is deserted. There are no precious resources on the island, but after all, the area is not small, and the current ownership is actually in the hands of the company.
If this were to happen in China, let alone whether such a large island would be sold to private individuals, even if the country was willing to sell it, no one would be able to afford the price.
But now, it only spent 70 million U.S. dollars to buy this island. It feels like the United States used millions of U.S. dollars to buy Alaska from Russia in history. Take advantage of everything.
However, in the eyes of him, a person who knew the inside story, he was taking advantage. Perhaps in the eyes of others, the person who spent 70 million US dollars to buy this island was a fool.
On the distant seashore, a giant ship carrying thousands of tons of steel and cement slowly wandered over. It won’t be long before these building materials will turn into finished products and appear on the island, modern urban buildings one after another. It will happen over time. gradually revealed in the eyes of the world.
“Boss, for such a large area, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get it for 3.5 billion US dollars!”
The helicopter circled around the planned area on the map. Wang Rui was no longer the idiot he used to be. After comparing the map with the company’s planning and design goals, he immediately felt that the US$3.5 billion was probably not enough.
The airport is okay, a simple airport only used to take off small planes and helicopters. It can be done for less than tens of millions of dollars, but the key expenses are still in the large area of the jungle, as well as the construction of ports and five-star resorts.
The latter two will probably cost less than one billion U.S. dollars each, and the latter also depends on what level of five-star resort is built.
Five-star is a general concept, and the difference between five-star is not small. One hundred million US dollars can build a five-star resort, and one billion US dollars can build a five-star resort. It really needs a luxury hotel like Dubai. If the resorts are on par, even US$2 billion won’t be able to stop it. So the US$3.5 billion was invested. I’m afraid I can’t even hear a ding-dong sound.
“That’s why it’s an upfront investment.”
Chen Yang was still able to see things in the distance clearly without using a telescope. Even more clearly than Wang Rui could see with a telescope.
“An additional five billion US dollars will continue to be added in the future… An investor meeting will be held recently to see if we can bring those people in to give it a try.”
Chen Yang estimated that he wanted to complete the rough prototype of the city. At least more than 100 square kilometers of land are required, which is roughly equivalent to one-sixth of the urban area within the third ring road of Chengdu.
Because it is built according to the standards of a new city, it will save a lot of money overall, but according to preliminary estimates, it will also require an investment of 130 billion US dollars!
This amount of money is really huge. With Andres’ current strength, it would be a bit difficult to come up with half of the funds. After all, Chen Yang still has quite a lot of strategic plans, and it is impossible to invest all the money. Come here, and win over those investors with deep pockets, is the key to solving the problem.
With the financial resources of those big tycoons, a hundred billion US dollars is not that big a deal, not to mention a group of people attracting a group of people. With this network of connections, why worry about no investment coming?
When this high-tech city, which is even more luxurious and ultra-technical than Dubai, is established, Chen Yang will also have reason to carry out large-scale nuclear power plant construction to lay the foundation for future space power transmission.
Before that, Chen Yang also had a discussion with his right hand.
“After all, power transmission in space is very troublesome. Sir, can you consider using local materials?”
“?”
“Solar space array, or directly move the fusion reactor to the space station.”
Chen Yang mused: “I have calculated the accounts. To transmit electric energy to space, one is to build a space elevator and the other is to wirelessly transmit power. Considering that wireless power transmission will consume a considerable part of the electric power, and cannot satisfy such a large power Transmission, so the only way is to build a space elevator. We already have the technical theory of space elevators, and it is not difficult to solve the materials. At most, it is a political trouble that requires caution… But we have the technical reserves, but with the current technological level of the earth, even if it is It will take more than fifteen years to start construction ten years later, and the total investment will exceed ten trillion U.S. dollars… I am afraid that even the U.S. government cannot afford this expense… Andres and many investors We can’t afford it either. Of course, if the space elevator is really built, the economic benefits will be huge, and it will only take six years for us to recover the investment cost.”
At this point, Chen Yang felt helpless: “But before that, we were afraid that the space elevator would go bankrupt if we were only halfway through construction.”
What is the concept of ten trillion US dollars?
In 2014, China’s GDP only reached 10.4 trillion U.S. dollars. This means that if you want to build a space elevator, you need to convert the GDP developed by 1.4 billion Chinese people in a whole year into funds and invest it. It may not be enough!
“In contrast, to build a space station and realize a fusion reactor at the same time, it is expected that the plan will be launched in two years and the space station plan will be initially completed in six years. This only requires us to invest less than 50 billion US dollars per year, and four years plus The remaining cost is only 300 billion US dollars, which is far more cost-effective than building a space elevator.”
It is not impossible to force the space elevator project, but unfortunately the cost is enough to bankrupt any government in the world, so starting this project within thirty years is basically a waste of money.
In contrast, the move to build a space station is not only more covert and easier to find reasons for, but also does not worry about excessive interference from national forces during the period. It can also test the spacecraft experiment (the Yayuan body on the right hand was self-destructed, so the only way to build the universe is way to leave the spaceship), it simply kills two birds with one stone.
It is reasonable and convincing, and the right hand is not an unreasonable creature. At least it is reasonable when it comes to Chen Yang. After a little verification, it is known that what Chen Yang said is true and is not meant to deceive it.
However, even so, the plan to purchase a small island to build a new high-tech city has not been abandoned. Instead, it has been retained as an important strategic direction of the company.
Firstly, it is used as a backup for the space station plan. Secondly, if such a high-tech new city is really built on the Pacific Ocean, the scale of the profits gained from the economic benefits generated by the aggregation will be quite terrifying.
Naturally, other forces would not have this ability, but Andres, who had considerable technical reserves, could almost predictably succeed.
…
“Woooooooo…”
After finding an open space, the helicopter landed slowly. Before it was completely close to the ground, Chen Yang jumped out of the open hatch, his clothes blowing behind him.
As a tropical rainforest climate in a low-altitude area, this time in December is in the rainy season. It has just rained heavily. The air is so fresh that just taking a breath seems to refresh the heart and lungs. , very comfortable.
I have to say that if a resort is built in a place like this, maybe the superior air environment will really attract some people to come for vacation.
“boss.”
Wang Rui also walked down the cabin, followed closely by two fully armed EMER members with weapons in hand, standing vigilantly behind them and on standby at any time.
“In just half a year, this land will be surrounded by modern buildings.”
Chen Yang stared at the tropical rainforest not far away, “From now on, as the main person in charge here, you have to be more careful and pay attention to avoid any trouble. Do you understand?”
“Yes, boss, I understand. There will never be any mistakes.”
Wang Rui quickly expressed his attitude.
The next development and construction is really a big project. The construction of the Dubai Towers cost US$1.5 billion and employed more than 4,000 workers. When the construction of this island city starts, even for the first phase of the project, the manpower will reach an astonishing number. The daily consumption and engineering arrangements will That’s really not an easy thing to do.
Being entrusted with such an important task of supervising the construction of the project, Wang Rui really felt a lot of pressure for a while.
But from another perspective, this is also a very good opportunity. His status among the company’s top executives is one of the last. Taking over such an important task will invisibly elevate his status a lot. (To be continued ~^~)
