Prodigal son never prodigal

Chapter 302 Which one is better at concealing the truth?

Yan Qing was delayed in North America because the business promotion momentum was so good and the internet celebrity effect was so great that even the International Skeet Shooting Federation came to her.

The Olympic champion is required to participate in the Tour Invitational Tournament with Citi as a wild card. Under such a "conspicuous package", he still has to promote the professional sport of clay pigeon shooting.

Of course, the corresponding benefit is that as long as Yan Qing can finish in the top three, he will be able to qualify for the World Championships early next year.

The problem with this guy is that since he won the Olympic championship, he is not interested in participating in various competitions at all, and his international points are very few.

In fact, Yan Qing neither relies on domestic shooting centers nor follows the International Shooting Federation, and her own business is booming.

Now that he is famous all over the world as the number one clay pigeon shooter, it’s time for the Shooting Federation to approach him.

Tianqiaoxing's emotional intelligence is so high. Not only did he accept the offer, but he also unexpectedly won the runner-up place in the much-anticipated North American Shooting Tour Invitational Tournament.

In the final battle for the championship, he had a tough fight with the North American masters.

Not only did it satisfy the popularity of live audiences, TV sets, and online broadcasts, it also made the next ISSF competitions highly uncertain.

If Yan Qing really continues the level of perfect shots in the finals of the previous Olympic Games, making the audience feel accustomed to it, and has the height of dominating the era, how can it attract attention and hype up the topic of debate?

In fact, a project like flying saucer shooting has too much room for self-control for a mentally stable master like Yan Qing.

As long as he doesn't make bets on himself from European and American bookmakers, he can basically control the rankings however he wants.

No one can catch the slightest clue.

I don’t know if you can see his high emotional intelligence. Anyway, in addition to qualifying for the World Championships, the International Shooting Federation also awarded Yan Qing the status of Zhang International Flying Skeet Shooting Promotion Ambassador.

There is no direct economic value, but with this status, except for A-level events such as the World Championships, which must be based on points and qualifying results, all other below-level events, as long as Yan Qing is willing to participate, can automatically attend as a seed player. .

Then every time you participate in an ISSF-registered event, you can also receive a promotion bonus of US$50,000.

With this alone, Yan Qing can already take her little assistant with her to travel around the world without worrying about running out of money.

Qiu Wenfang happily put on her dress, and at the award ceremony of the Tour Invitational Tournament, as an agent's assistant, she received a packing box that looked like a treasure, and flew from the east coast to the Middle East before returning to China.

Traveling to the Middle East, of course, is to show up at Mr. Khalid’s International Shooting Center stand.

We also stopped by to visit the “AI Intelligent Computing Center” which is being vigorously constructed.

At this time, Yan Qing's tactical vest and shotgun were covered with various sponsorship and endorsement brands. He even stopped wearing a baseball cap and changed it to a round-brimmed bunny hat because he could put more advertising space.

Together with the Burberry bags and various clothing and footwear carried on the back, it is a mobile advertising space.

Even Axiang and the others had to put up some advertisements when they pushed boxes.

Of course Mr. Khalid is satisfied. He had a "smart eye" to bind Yan Qing's relationship before the Olympic Games. Now he is prosperous around the world and has displayed the Khalid International Shooting Center's sign to all parties.

The largest advertising space on the tactical vest is here.

Direct business jets can land at a dedicated airport only about ten kilometers away from the shooting center.

But the brand-new "AI Intelligent Computing Center" is placed on the seaside on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi, more than 100 kilometers away.

But it doesn't matter, Yan Qing has his own Ferrari, and even Axiang and the others have a Mercedes-Benz G driven by a driver to follow them.

For the crazy expansion, Abu Dhabi is full of beautiful landmarks and is surrounded by the wilderness of yellow sand.

Under this situation, they are still desperately digging sand and reclamation, and expanding various offshore artificial islands for real estate construction.

In fact, no one lives there at all.

So Yan Qing and the others received 400 million US dollars in high-tech investment, but in turn built a computing center here, which was equivalent to getting back a considerable part of the investment.

Mr. Khalid is also quite well-known in front of the royal family.

If Gai Qingyun, Mr. Ding, and Lu Gong had not repeatedly asked to keep a low profile, Mr. Khalid would have planned to "rent" the most prominent landmark building to his own computing center. It is said that the building next door is the Middle East Branch of the Louvre in Paris. .

Finally, a team led by Lu Engineering flew over for on-site inspection and selected an entire warehouse area at the artificial island port on the outskirts of the city.

The reason why I chose this place is because there is a deep-water berthing area between these artificially filled island piers that is deep enough to drag a drilling platform for maintenance.

It is just right to sink the huge computing equipment that is being built one after another to the bottom of the sea to cool down.

The massive servers of major international Internet giants are said to be large energy consumers when it comes to cooling.

Ordinary air-conditioning cooling can no longer meet the huge consumption costs of these non-stop operations for many months. This model is used in underground server centers in domestic mountainous areas and Citigroup's bottom-of-lake server arrays.

Therefore, this AI intelligent computing center, which will definitely be very large in the future, will naturally have to do this from the beginning.

And unlike other Internet companies, it has also used the vast desert on the outskirts of the city to build what is said to be the largest solar photovoltaic farm in the Middle East. In other words, the power consumption of this intelligent computing center will gradually expand as the scale of the solar farm increases.

Paired with energy storage facilities, clean energy is used as much as possible to complete all computing energy consumption.

In the world's largest oil- and gas-producing areas, where there is no shortage of fossil fuel power generation methods, it is a bit baffling to spend a lot of money on solar power generation.

But Yan Qing followed Gai Qingyun's words and said that this is the most advanced energy method in the current era. After the energy here is exhausted in the future, it will not be solved by these new energy models.

So now it is about making Mr. Khalid the most forward-looking technology and energy tycoon.

Besides, all these investments were directly returned to this place out of the US$400 million given by Mr. Khalid.

It is also equipped with ten new energy business concierge cars.

Yan Qing got out of the Ferrari, which was so bent that her waist almost broke, and got into this new energy limousine, and she never wanted to sit back again.

Because of this kind of solar photovoltaic power plant, there is abundant electricity available for use during the day, and the energy storage equipment is just a "super power bank" prepared according to the calculation of power consumption at night.

Therefore, when these new energy courtesy cars are parked at dedicated charging stations in power plants, they consume almost no fuel or energy costs.

Mr. Khalid was sitting in the spacious and comfortable luxury back seat and was also surprised by this earth-shaking new change: "Will oil and natural gas be worthless in the future?"

Gai Qingyun's advantage of being well-read in the past two years was immediately revealed: "Humans have always had many ways to obtain electricity, such as hydropower, nuclear power, etc. The greatest value of oil is to make various chemical raw materials rather than fuel. If oil is really used The higher the value, the more valuable the energy contained in this land will be. Low-level things like electricity and fuel should be left to these methods."

Mr. Khalid probably understood that the price of oil would be higher, and happily asked to buy a hundred of these new energy courtesy cars for use everywhere.

It would be even better to build several centralized charging stations in urban areas.

At that time, Qiu Yunfang bought the deluxe version for just over RMB 600,000. Now that the group purchase has been going on for nearly a year, the price has dropped a lot, but Gai Qingyun encouraged Yan Qing to try to quote: "This is about US$120,000 to US$30,000 per car. "

Mr. Khalid was surprised and hesitated: "So cheap?! Isn't it a bit pricey?"

Yan Qing almost gave herself a slap in the face: "Then we choose the best configuration, the most luxurious and comfortable high-end enjoyment, and require long-term maintenance and even repairs. We should be able to do it for two hundred thousand dollars!"

Mr. Khalid nodded with satisfaction.

With US$20 million, all high-end places in the city can be equipped with this kind of high-end concierge cars in the colors of local tycoons, Vivianes!

Gai Qingyun had to think with Yan Qing, how about letting the attached "photovoltaic farm" company open a 4S store for domestic new energy vehicles here.

The various brands and models that are currently hotly debated in China are put on display and sold to Middle Eastern tycoons.

In fact, the entire photovoltaic farm business makes Yan Qing and the others happy.

The entire investment is free because the land is free, and the off-site installation has to be transported to the shore by sea, so there is no difficulty.

Therefore, the cost is only for domestically produced equipment. The entire series of product technologies that are now completely mastered domestically will cost less than 200 million, planned by Mr. Ding and others.

But he can report accounts of about 600 million to the rich.

After mastering the core technology, it is really a huge profit.

It also encouraged a lot of our own people to go abroad for employment.

New energy vehicles can also be operated in this way.

Yan Qing only cares about his brothers, so he will inform Wu Kaiyuan to prepare for it. Doesn't he just like a car? It will be a big business, and it will be better to fill it with athletes.

The Intelligent Computing Center is currently staffed by teachers and students from HKUST. In the future, it will gradually expand and add many Middle Eastern technical personnel trained in Luzhou.

Sports students cannot find employment in such high-tech projects, so they can work as sales leaders in overseas car sales systems.

Regarding this intelligent computing center, Yan Qing also explained it vividly to Mr. Khalid. The mechanical dog you saw before was a well-trained intelligent dog. Isn’t it inferior to the one you brought back? It’s just that this training process is lacking.

Now that this training facility and even the accessories assembly factory are moved here, the future will be the high-tech industry here, and the various smart products trained will also be products here.

This is much more meaningful than the Ferrari theme park or the Louvre branch opened here by Europeans and Americans, and it is also easier to gain respect from others.

After hearing this, Mr. Khalid asked if the money was enough, and if it was not enough, please add more!

Yan Qing quickly said that it is enough for now, that is enough, we Chinese will never cheat our friends.

The water must flow slowly and steadily.

So after laying the groundwork for this long series of business, I finished my wonderful performance at the shooting range and immediately returned to Shanghai.

Song Siyu really waited like a stone watching her husband.
