Chapter 250 A Different Air Show (VI)

The Neom new city project mentioned by Abdullah is a national infrastructure project proposed by the future Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in 2022.

The reason why it is called national infrastructure is that in the PPT of this project, the Saudi Crown Prince showed the world a "zero-carbon linear city" standing between the desert and the coastline, spanning 170 kilometers long and covering an area of ​​2.65 square kilometers.

What is most striking is that the width of this straight city is only 200 meters!
You should know that Chen Jue’s Rubik’s Cube factory has reached 800 meters wide after expansion.

However, the new city of Neom, which claims to be able to accommodate 500 million permanent residents in the future, is only as narrow as the playground of a junior high school.

In order to meet this bizarre design plan, the vertical height of the entire city was increased to 500 meters.

Even more exaggerated than playing MC games!
From a distance, it looks like a huge piece of glass inserted into the desert. The bright silver walls on both sides can even absorb solar energy to generate electricity.

Otherwise, why do we say that the feudal dynasties of the past loved to create spectacles?
Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, the Egyptian pharaohs built the pyramids, and now it is the turn of the Arab princes to create wonders.

First, they built a seven-star Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, and then they built the unfinished Palm Island.

Now that it is the turn of Saudi Arabia's future crown prince to take power, it is natural that he will have to create some spectacles.

Look, the NEOM new city project, which is comparable to MC infrastructure, came into being in such an environment.

But the problem is that this new city looks magnificent, and the high-tech inside fills the entire PPT.

Once construction begins, the difficulty of construction will be as difficult as Boeing trying to bring back two astronauts on a business trip from outer space.

The first thing to overcome is the extremely harsh desert environment.

The average temperature in Saudi Arabia is above 45 degrees Celsius as soon as summer begins. There is little precipitation, severe desertification, and a serious shortage of underground fresh water resources.

If you want to build such a dreamy future city in this environment, the funds required will be enormous.

The initial payment for the Neom new city project reached US$5000 billion, and the construction bidding was also targeted at large construction companies around the world.

Of course, these days, there is no other country in the world that can compete with China in the field of infrastructure.

As a result, 90% of the Neom new city project was eventually contracted to domestic construction companies.

However, the project encountered difficulties as soon as it started.

In addition to the difficulty in obtaining water near the construction site, Party A's requirements for the 500-meter-high vertical wall became increasingly abnormal.

If it is built purely with reinforced concrete, the thing will indeed be strong and impressive, but it deviates from the original intention of the "artificial intelligence city" set by the Neom project.

As a result of the future crown prince's outrageous actions, the plan to enclose the walls on both sides was not finalized and the project progress was delayed again and again.

The reason behind this is that the follow-up funds provided by the Crown Prince have been under some pressure, and the first batch of 5000 billion yuan plan has been discounted.

Secondly, Saudi Arabia wants to delay the progress to see whether newer technologies and materials will appear in the infrastructure field in the next few years.

After all, the planning of the Neom new city project has been stretched to 2040. A delay of more than ten years is totally affordable for a wealthy country like Saudi Arabia.

This has made a group of Saudi princes who want to make money from the Neom project very anxious.

This is a major infrastructure project that concerns the country's image. The project has already started. How can it be stopped just like that?
So, when Prince Abdullah saw the high-strength MC [glass] block unveiled at the Magic Cube Group's booth, his eyes were firmly attracted to it as if they had magnets.

"Dear Mr. Chen! Please be sure to send this prefabricated building material to our Saudi Arabia! It would be best if you could send a team of technicians from your company as well."

"I will send my special plane and present it to our Crown Prince!"

"This is the ballast stone God has given to the new city of Neom! If it can pass the acceptance of the project team, it will be a huge contract worth no less than 100 billion US dollars!" Abdullah was very excited.

I didn’t expect that when I came to participate in the Haizhu Air Show in China this time, I would accidentally discover the high-tech material that could save the Neom project.

In order to grab his share of the rebate commission, Prince Abdullah even took some photos of parameters and samples and sent them to the Saudi Crown Prince.

This time, even Chen Jue was stunned by the generosity of this group of Middle Eastern tycoons. "Are you sure it's... Dao Le?" Chen Jue took a breath.

This was the largest cash contract he had ever come across since he started his business.

Abdullah nodded: "It must be Greencoin!"

Even the accompanying officers and military attachés were stunned by this terrifying contract worth hundreds of billions of US dollars.

You should know that the total transaction amount of each Haizhu Air Show is only one or two thousand RMB.

Chen Jue didn't sell even half of his bullet, but he got a huge contract estimated to be no less than 100 billion US dollars just by selling infrastructure materials.

Such an exaggerated contract amount is absolutely a big deal in the national infrastructure market.

"Commander, I remember that the cost of building our 055 destroyer is only 60 billion yuan. If we can intercept this money, how many 055s can we buy?" A colonel in charge of naval equipment sales muttered.

"Then it's only a matter of time before our tonnage exceeds that of the Americans!"

Major General Lin felt envious and jealous.

I wish I could turn into the piece of glass in the promotional video and be packaged and sold to Saudi Arabia.

……

With Abdullah's promise, Chen Jue directly put the MC [Glass] export project on the agenda.

He first called the factory and arranged for an iron golem and several of the group's legal and sales experts to go to Saudi Arabia to make initial contacts for the Neom new city project.

In his opinion, at least half of the profits from this infrastructure project in Saudi Arabia, which is comparable to a future city, must be able to slip into the accounts of the Magic Cube Group.

After all, with a BUG item like the [Furnace] in hand, to refine an MC product like [Glass], you only need to dig sand in the local desert in Saudi Arabia and burn it.

Except for the raw materials of [glass], it can be made almost free.

[Furnace] The fuel required for the firing process can also be obtained locally.

What country is Saudi Arabia?

A major oil producing country in the Middle East!

If you dig down underground, it’s all oil!

Just like eating dumplings, the original soup can also be used to digest the original food.

As long as Chen Jue opens up the supply, he can surround Saudi Arabia with this almost free [glass].

As for the selling price, if a piece of MC [glass] is not marked at eighteen thousand dollars, Chen Jue would feel sorry for these generous tycoons.

"170 kilometers long, 500 meters high, and two thickened walls."

"At least 3.4 million pieces of [glass] are needed." Chen Jue pressed the computer and the smile on his face became even wider.

Regardless of whether this business deal can be concluded or not, he has made friends with Abdullah.

So after discussing the material inspection of MC [Glass], Chen Jue invited: "My friend, on the last day of the air show, our Magic Cube Group will hold an epoch-making product launch conference."

"I hope your delegation can come to participate in person! I think that with your country's original intention of respecting technology, you will definitely like our aircraft product!"

As he spoke, Chen Jue stuffed a white invitation letter with gold stamping into the other party's hand.

On the invitation letter’s logo, there was a flying Rubik’s Cube floating in the air.
