I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 263 Choice is more important than hard work
The formal talks were scheduled after the old king's birthday, so the schedule for the first two days was relatively loose.

Chen Chen and Zheng Yucun had just checked into the hotel, and before they had time to fully appreciate the luxury of the rich, Salaman sent someone to pick them up and invited Chen Chen and Zheng Yucun to his home for a private banquet.

Zheng Yucun knew that this was an unofficial arrangement.

To put it bluntly, it was heading towards Chen Chen.

The reason why Zheng Yucun was invited was simply because he nominally held the title of head of the delegation.

But Zheng Yucun had no inferiority complex at all and followed them happily.

He also wanted to see the ceiling of the rich.

Half an hour later, they got on the special car sent by Salaman.

Looking at the endless fields beside the highway, Zheng Yucun couldn't help sighing: "It would be great if you are so rich, you can plant some trees. My hometown also has such poor land. The fruits grown in such a large temperature difference between day and night are fragrant and sweet."

Chen Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Director Zheng, you look like someone from the west. You have a deep-rooted desire to plant trees."

"We have to plant trees. After so many years of western development, our area is now better. In the past, there were sandstorms for three months a year."

"So powerful?"

Zheng Yucun nodded: "What do you think? I don't know if there will be a sandstorm here."

Chen Chen glanced at the desert not far away and within reach: "It may be scraped..."

"Then how do they prevent wind and sand? They are so rich, but they can't even see a Haloxylon ammodendron tree."

Chen Chen rubbed his brows and thought for a while: "They don't have the concept of sand fixation for the time being, right? Even if they do, they might just cover the desert with gold bricks?"

"..."

Zheng Yucun glared at him and stopped talking.

I'm thinking of discussing serious environmental technology issues with you, is it okay for you to talk nonsense to me?

But we arrived at Salaman's mansion.

Zheng Yucun then realized that what Chen Chen said just now was not nonsense at all.

People really have the habit of paving the desert with gold bricks.

Good guy.

The manor is like being on a gold mine.

The car is gold, the toilet is gold, and the street lights are gold.

Even the servants who served him had a mouth full of small gold teeth.

The key is.

The cages used to keep animals on other people's farms are all gold-plated.

Originally, the servant didn't want to introduce the animals properly, but Zheng Yucun and Chen Chen were curious and kept turning in that direction.

In other words, they knew in advance that this was Salaman's home.

If it is your first time here and no one introduces it to you, you will definitely mistakenly think that this is a national zoo that only has dogs.

Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water.

There is no grandson that I won’t raise.

and!

No matter what animal it is, it is treated like a kitten here and is completely turned into a pet.

The 800-pound white tiger was very friendly when it saw a stranger, and kept coming up to ask for petting. Zheng Yucun only regretted that he did not bring two cat strips with him.

After staying in the zoo for a long time, the servant finally couldn't help urging them that their master had been waiting, so the two of them left reluctantly.

After a while, we turned around the corridor.

The two met Salaman in the reception room.

He arrived at about the same time as he had during the day, except that he had changed his headscarf.

Beside him, there were a few other men with hooked noses and wearing turbans, all of them were older.

Before this trip, Zheng Yucun thought that the external manifestations of wealthy people were two kinds of Rolls-Royce and Rolex.

But he only found out today.

The top equipment for wealthy people is this red and white checkered headscarf.

After taking his seat, Salaman seemed to be chatting.

But there is also strategy.

He quickly brought the topic to the point that concerned him.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that your company recently conducted a test launch of space weapons?"

"Yes, it was a complete success." Chen Chen agreed immediately.

This left Zheng Yucun a little confused.

He has known Chen Chen for a long time.

Shouldn't the familiar Chen Chen deny it calmly: "They are all for civilian use, not worth mentioning"?

When it came to Salaman, he directly said, "It is true."

He doesn't pretend at all.

Salaman was somewhat shocked after hearing this: "So this means that Mr. Chen's company has officially entered the space field, right?"

"Well, kind of. It's just one small step, but one giant leap for mankind."

Salaman liked Chen Chen's honesty: "Why do you say that?"

"Because this launch verified the combined propulsion technology for the first time. This concept was proposed by the United States decades ago, but it has always been on the PowerPoint. We have realized it."

"Okay...okay!"

Salaman hesitated for a long time before slowly congratulating Chen Chen.

He is indeed concerned about the space-based weapons that have been making the rounds recently.

The information he was exposed to was basically Western.

In the descriptions of these media, Todai’s space-based weapons seem to be Satan’s sickle, evil and cruel.

He thought Chen Chen would deny it perfunctorily, but he didn't expect Chen Chen to agree so readily and point out the leading part of the combined power without any hesitation.

There is some arrogance in his frankness.

The energetic young man in front of me is exactly the same as the energetic Dongda University behind him.

It has already occupied a place in the international landscape.

Take the space-based weapons we just mentioned as an example.

The project idea was first proposed by the Eagle Sauce, but it was first verified by the University of Tokyo.

Salaman can give many examples of such technological projects. The Eagle Sauce is responsible for bragging with PPT, and the University of Tokyo is responsible for implementation.

Think of this.

Salaman felt that all his preparations over the years had paid off.

Choice is really more important than effort.

He continued, "So this technology is mainly used in the missile field?"

Chen Chen did not answer immediately, but looked at Zheng Yucun beside him.

Zheng Yucun was not concerned about the matter and was enjoying the cigar handed to him by Salaman.

Maybe because the level was too high, Zheng Yucun kept coughing.

Chen Chen took advantage of Zheng Yucun's cough and accused him, "Why are you coughing? His Excellency the Prince is an old friend, and this secret should not be kept from him."

Zheng Yucun: ???

I was fucking choked.

Who stopped you?

Salaman just asked about the purpose of the combined power, but did not ask for specific details.

What secrets are there?
Chen Chen looked at Salaman with an air of knowing everything: "In fact, the main advantage of combined propulsion is still in the aerospace plane. Our test launch this time can be regarded as laying the foundation for the future."

There was a cough from Zheng Yucun.

Salaman immediately confirmed his identity as Chen Chen's good friend.

He nodded with satisfaction: "When I first met Mr. Chen, I thought you were a powerful figure. I didn't expect that in just a few years, Mr. Chen would jump directly from the field of drones to the field of space technology."

Chen Chen smiled slightly: "The Tathagata Palm is just an appetizer. Our focus in the later stages is the Thousand-Handed Guanyin Project."

After hearing the literal translation of the four words "Thousand-Armed Guanyin", Salaman's eyes were filled with mysterious yearning.

For anyone, the one who doesn't understand is the coolest.

Especially projects named after such gods, they are very high-end.

He asked curiously, "What is the Thousand-Handed Guanyin Project?"

“The ultimate solution for freight transportation.”

"I don't quite understand."

Chen Chen gestured on the table and explained carefully: "For example, if you have a cargo that needs to be shipped to the other side of the world, the conventional way is to choose sea or air transport, right?"

“We usually choose air transport.”

Chen Chen nodded: "Yes, I forgot about your financial resources. Let's talk about air transport, isn't it slow?"

“Is air transport still slow?”

"After all, the speed of airplanes cannot be compared with that of rockets. By using carrier rockets to send cargo into orbit and then to the destination, cargo can be delivered on the same day no matter where it is on the earth. This is the 1-hour delivery plan that we have jointly created with Shunfeng Group."

"I see--!"

Salaman looked like he was never too old to learn.

He knew very well that Dongda’s express delivery was awesome.

During his several visits to the University of Tokyo, he was deeply fascinated by the young men wearing black clothes and riding tricycles.

He couldn't imagine it.

For a country with such a large land area, it is amazing that it can achieve universal next-day delivery.

In his country, only the royal family can enjoy this speed.

But now.

Chen Chen and Shunfeng have brought the express delivery industry to a new level.

Chen Chen continued, "Of course, the Thousand-Handed Guanyin Project is not limited to ground-to-air-to-ground delivery. According to the current progress of human space exploration, ground-to-air delivery will be the mainstream in the future."

"You mean space cargo delivery? Satellites and stuff?"

"Yes, including but not limited to satellites, space laboratories, and communication equipment."

“I was shocked.”

Salaman showed real emotion.

While everyone was still exploring space, Chen Chen was already considering establishing a delivery system to ensure space exploration.

Previously, Gou Da Hu and Dong Da had discussed cooperation in space technology - sending the prince to the space station.

In fact, the requirements of dog owners are not limited to this.

However, due to the exclusivity and confidentiality of space technology, Dongda can only send customers into space and cannot engage in in-depth cooperation such as technology sharing.

Can……

Chen Chen's Morning Breeze is a commercial organization.

Thinking of this, Salaman immediately asked tentatively: "How far has your company's Thousand-Handed Guanyin Project progressed?"

"Phase II." Chen Chen said concisely.

Salaman figured that since there was a second phase, the first phase had been a complete success, so he asked, "Do you accept foreign investment?"

"Of course, ours is a general project, different from a national project. Why? Do you want to invest?" Chen Chen pretended to be surprised.

Salaman nodded: "Our country has been planning in the field of space technology, but has not found a suitable partner..."

Chen Chen interrupted him directly: "You are insulting me by positioning me as a partner. We are close comrades-in-arms!"

Having said that.

Salaman felt that there was no need to say more, so he started asking Chen Chen about the price: "What is the budget for the Thousand-Handed Guanyin project?"

"30-40 billion."

"Then if I want to join your second phase plan, is 30 billion ok?"

Chen Chen was suddenly stunned and speechless for a moment.

Zheng Yucun was drooling as he listened.

I thought Chen Chen really failed at the critical moment.

Isn't this pie in the sky?

What is there to hesitate about? Just agree to it.

So he whispered in Chen Chen's ear: "It means someone has paid for your second phase, so don't think about raising the price. Just agree to it."

Chen Chen spoke even more quietly, fearing that the translator would hear him: "I just said the overall project budget, phases one, two, three, and four added together!"
