Chapter 833 Artificial Atmosphere

In the United States, the two interstellar spacecraft factories under construction are under construction day and night, and it is also planned to introduce the artificial intelligence system of Guge Company.

The construction idea is the same as that of Tianqi Group. The movable construction workshop introduces a large number of mechanical arms for mechanized production and speeds up the construction.

Time passed slowly, and Xu Ping'an returned to the headquarters in J City. Huo Minghai came to look for Xu Ping'an just after going to work today.

Xu Pingan asked Huo Minghai to sit down and chat while drinking tea.

"Mr. Xu, we must control it. According to my calculations, excluding the starship orders received this year, our net profit this year will reach a new low."

"It's not a good thing that profits have decreased for three consecutive years," Huo Minghai said seriously.

Xu Pingan was taken aback for a moment, has it really reached this point, how could it have dropped so much.

"Do you know why?" Xu Ping'an asked.

"The profit of the energy group has decreased, and the decline is not small. I have communicated with Burson. The biggest reason is that the market is saturated."

"After years of development, solar panels, wind energy equipment, and the hydrogen energy industry have all become popular."

"New profit growth points are needed," Huo Minghai said directly.

"How are the other branches?" Xu Ping'an asked.

"Other segments have not changed much. Apocalypse Logistics Group has only maintained a small profit so far this year. It will take time to achieve a substantial increase in profits."

"Apocalypse Chemical Group's profits are also declining, because of the popularity of small single-person attack submarines around the world in recent years, all countries have reduced their naval establishments"

"The sales of super paints have begun to decline. Taking orders from the United States as an example, they have dropped by half, and" Huo Minghai recounted everything he had learned.

"We need to open up new sources of income," Huo Minghai immediately added.

Although Huo Minghai said so, he was not very anxious in his heart. Even if the net profit of Tianqi Group dropped, it would still be superior to others.

It is still much higher than other international giants.

However, Xu Ping'an focused on the development of space, and spent too much money.

What Huo Minghai said today is very simple. I hope Xu Ping'an can control his investment in space and be more stable.

Although he knew about the grand strategy of the Tianqi Group, recently the Tianqi Group spent too much money, Huo Minghai, who has always been stable, was a little worried.

It doesn't cost much to buy a small island, and you can purchase equipment and various construction projects. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as spending money like running water.

Xu Ping'an thought about it seriously, and shook his head. It's not appropriate to make extravagant problems for the time being. Once a new product is launched, it will definitely cause turmoil in the industry.

In terms of the current international situation, this is something that many countries do not want to see, including China, country E, the United States, and Europe.

"The chemical group's products need to be upgraded. I will discuss this with Miao Yong. It's not that we don't have a new generation of products, but this product has been sealed."

"Now, it's time to withdraw this product," Xu Pingan said directly.

"What product is it?" Huo Minghai asked curiously.

"Super nano-coating, sprayed on the surface of the submarine, has the effect of reducing the detection of the submarine by sonar"

"Once it is put into the market, all the sonar detectors of the military of various countries will face the situation of being eliminated, and they will all be replaced with new sonar systems, which may not be a good thing for us," Xu Pingan rubbed his head and said.

Huo Minghai nodded. The number of submarines of Tianqi Group is about [-], and they are all one generation ahead of the market. This kind of submarines are not for sale, but for internal use of Tianqi Group.

A security company once conducted an experiment. A new generation of submarines could sail next to the US fleet, but the US fleet did not notice it at a distance of 500 meters.

It is not too much to describe the new generation of submarines with submarine ghosts.

Moreover, it is still in the process of continuous upgrading, and the research and development of the new generation of submarines at the Antarctic base has not stopped and has been in progress.

"How's the profit on the golden grass?" Xu Ping'an asked.

"Profits are good and will hit new highs this year"

"It's just that I heard a news that someone proposed to levy a tobacco tax on golden grass," Huo Minghai said directly.

"I don't know how to live or die, I'll settle this matter," Xu Ping'an said sullenly.

Wu Sikai told Xu Ping'an about this matter last year. Some people planned to promote this matter. Xu Ping'an had been paying attention to it, but he didn't do it because he saw that these people were quiet.

Now even Huo Minghai has heard about this matter. Obviously, these people are planning to make trouble.

Huo Minghai was relieved when he heard what Xu Pingan said. As the chief financial officer of Tianqi Group, Huo Minghai knew a lot more than ordinary things.

"By the way, do we have any unannounced public welfare projects this year?" Xu Pingan asked again.

"There are three more. One is to build a large freshwater reservoir in Dunhuang, which will cost about 76 billion Chinese coins."

"Build large-scale wind towers from Dunhuang to XZ, and then extend to the central region to build more than 500 large-scale wind towers to intervene in climate projects in the central region. The total investment is about 58 billion Chinese coins"

"There is also a plan to assist several countries in Africa to build forest corridors, costing about [-] million euros." Huo Minghai skillfully carried out the project and the cost.

Xu Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Just keep the reservoir project, cancel the wind tower project and the aid to Africa project, and talk about it later."

"Mr. Xu, the aid project for Africa was brokered by the people above," Huo Minghai reminded.

"To tell the truth, there is no money"

"Let them come to me if you have any opinions," Xu Pingan said bluntly.

Huo Minghai curled his lips and remained silent. Xu Pingan made a decision and carried it out by himself.

Continue to maintain your own principles and not get involved in business matters.

After the two chatted for a while, Huo Minghai returned to his finance department, and immediately began to adjust, transferring the funds from the two canceled public welfare projects to the reserve fund.

Then start to prepare materials and submit them to relevant departments.

Enterprises doing public welfare projects need to submit project plans to relevant departments in advance, which involves many things. If you quit, you also need to submit materials to relevant departments in advance.

Soon, the materials got to the administrative department, and the people in the administrative department began to submit the materials to the relevant departments.

In the past two days, Yuan Shiping went to Tianqi Group to see Xu Pingan after seeing the report.

The reason for the exit written on the material is very simple, and the funds are tight.

Just kidding around the world, you Apocalypse Group is short of money, ask people on earth, who would believe this reason.

Xu Pingan invited Yuan Shiping to sit down and drink tea. After hearing Yuan Shiping's intention, he directly reported three numbers, and Yuan Shiping was dumbfounded.

Apocalypse Group's profits have fallen sharply for three consecutive years, how is this possible.

"It's really so serious." Yuan Shiping had a disbelieving expression on his face.

"Mayor, to be honest, I didn't believe it was true when I saw the report"

"You can go to investigate the market, look at the market sales, and you can tell at a glance whether I am telling lies or not."

"My Apocalypse Group must increase revenue and reduce expenditure"

"Open source will subvert traditional industries and cause domestic and foreign economic turmoil. Therefore, I can only reduce expenditure," Xu Pingan said with a helpless expression.

"But these two projects are only about one billion euros. You really want to cancel them," Yuan Shiping said directly.

"Can't cancel"

"I can only lay off staff"

"If you still don't agree with this aspect, then I will open source"

"Apocalypse Group is not responsible for the impact and turbulence caused by subverting the market." Xu Ping'an said this very calmly.

"When did you take responsibility"

"When your solar panels went on the market, China's solar panels already accounted for more than 80.00% of the world's share"

"As a result, your carbon crystal solar panels fell into the bottomless abyss in one fell swoop, a dozen large groups went bankrupt, and hundreds of thousands of workers lost their jobs."

"The state spends a lot of money to subsidize the living problems of laid-off workers and re-employment problems. What responsibility do you pay?"

"There is also hydrogen energy. When you killed two barrels of oil, did you ever think about what to do with the employees of the two barrels of oil?"

"As for the Golden Grass project, I don't need to tell you how big the impact is."

"You are in charge, what are you responsible for, let me hear it," Yuan Shiping replied directly.

"Wait a minute, I admit the impact of the solar panel project, I admit the latter two"

"Two barrels of oil gave me millions of employees. Don't say you don't know this."

"It has caused an impact on the tobacco industry. Don't forget your identity. You are the chairman of the J City Smoking Cessation Committee. Smoking is harmful to your health, but Golden Grass has no such problem."

"I make people healthier"

"Why, you still hope that the people will be unhealthy if they smoke every day?" Xu Ping'an immediately retorted.

Yuan Shiping was stunned. He really couldn't refute the two points Xu Pingan said. As the chairman of the smoking cessation committee, he really couldn't refute these words.

Yuan Shiping took a deep breath and said, "Ping An, I have a suggestion, listen to it."

"Tell me, I'm all ears," Xu Ping'an said directly.

"Global warming is gradually increasing. Although the magnitude is not as great as before, it is still going up. You know this very well."

"Our country's meteorological experts have also collectively demonstrated that with climate change, there will be extreme weather of high temperature and high pressure in the headquarters area of ​​our country"

"It spreads around Province Y as the center. We are the hardest-hit area here. If we don't make changes, the place we are now will become a barren land."

"We can transfer the water from the rich in the south. At the same time, we must also adjust the temperature and pressure in the central region to cause the circulation of the atmosphere."

"If you want to accomplish this, you must build enough wind towers. This is also the plan proposed by your Tianqi Group Research Institute."

"Now your profit is falling, we can divide it into three parties, the country contributes part, the surrounding provinces invest part, and you invest part"

"The specific implementation of the wind tower plan is still led by your Tianqi Group, we will not intervene"

"What do you think of this plan? It can be carried out as a large-scale public welfare project of your Tianqi Group every year."

"As for the project in Africa, you can cancel it as soon as you cancel it, and I won't say anything else." Yuan Shiping directly stated his plan.

Xu Pingan thought for a while. The large-scale wind tower project is not just a public welfare project. The reason why Apocalypse Group proposed this project is to conduct air convection atmospheric chemical reaction experiments.

It's just that this purpose cannot be said out, and it can only be done in the name of public welfare.

The air convection experiment is a project set up to quickly establish an artificial atmosphere after the Martian magnetic field is rebuilt. It is very important. If it is not for the current decrease in profitability, Xu Pingan will not stop this project.
