Due to business needs, Hannah has been to the Middle East many times. There she has seen many similar villas, and in those villas, without exception, you can see gardeners trimming flowers and plants all day long.
Judging from the smoothness of the villa's lawn, it must have been taken care of by someone, but she didn't see the gardener at the moment.
Hearing this, Zhu Tian smiled: "I'm observing carefully, but my villa doesn't need a gardener."
After saying that, he waved to the bushes on the side.
A disc-shaped drone flew out of the bushes and hovered near his hand. If you didn't take it apart, you would see that the drone itself was not a shocking technology, so Zhu Tian didn't hide it.
However, Hannah, who witnessed this scene, opened her eyes wide and sighed after a while: "Drones for gardening? It's really shocking technology. Although we have been paying attention to the technological progress in this area, we still
Seeing the finished product for the first time...can I know which company made it?"
After waving the screen to dismiss the drone, Zhu Tian teased, "Don't Bill Gates also like to renovate his mansion? Why do you think this is the work of a big company?"
Hannah was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"You are really funny."
After inviting her into the villa, the two of them sat down on the sofa in the living room, and the butler thoughtfully poured ice-cold drinks for them.
In such weather, having a glass of ice-cold orange juice is undoubtedly a wonderful enjoyment.
Without any more pleasantries, Hannah skillfully took out the documents from the briefcase and handed them to Zhu Tian.
"Currently regarding the tourist area in Palau, the infrastructure construction and development project has reached 50% and is expected to be completed in December this year. This is the detailed information on the completion of the project. According to the contract, we have completed two phases
project, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to pay for the two phases of the project now?"
Zhu Tian just picked up the document, glanced at it twice, and said casually.
"Of course it's convenient. Bring me the payment slip."
Hannah nodded and quickly took out a two-piece payment slip from her briefcase.
The two phases of the project totaled US$4 billion. After confirming that there were no more or less zeros in the figure, Zhu Tian readily signed the payer column.
Seeing Zhu Tian sign, Hannah finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she is really worried that Daming International will default on the project payment. Although the agreement stipulates that one payment will be made once the project is completed, but there is still an review process involved. If the tenderer does not recognize that you have completed these projects, or during the acceptance inspection
It is not without precedent in the world that the link is stuck for two or three years.
Doing business overseas is a gamble. She had made various plans before coming, and even prepared no less than a hundred sets of arguments on how to persuade the donor to pay.
But the final result was beyond her expectation. Zhu Tian paid the money so readily, as if what he just signed was not 4 billion, but just a restaurant bill.
Each party held a copy of the payment slip. Hannah put the share belonging to BMA Construction Company into her briefcase and hugged the briefcase to her chest with relief.
"I'm ashamed to say that before you came here, we thought you were going to disappear to avoid our reminder. I'm sorry for my rude assumption."
With that said, Hannah stood up and bowed to Zhu Tian.
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Tian waved his hand and said
He joked: "If someone owed me 4 billion, I would have to be on guard to prevent him from disappearing."
Not sure whether she was amused by Zhu Tian's joke or Zhu Tian's English, Hannah pursed her lips and smiled.
"By the way, can I ask something?" Zhu Tian asked.
After successfully obtaining the project funds for the company, Hannah was naturally very happy, so she said cheerfully: "Of course."
“Does your BMA construction company have any experience in building islands?”
Isn't there a saying that goes like this: "God created the sea, and the Netherlands created the earth." Since the 13th century, this country has been reclaiming land from the sea on a large scale. Today, 20% of the Netherlands' land is artificially reclaimed.
The hills that came out were dug out and reclaimed, and almost the entire Flevoland province was created.
Although the Palau Islands have vast seas, their land area has always been very tight. Although it still seems a bit vast and sparsely populated, it is only because the current population is only 20,000. Once the immigration policy is relaxed, it will not affect tourism resources.
Under the circumstances, Zhu Tian estimated that if he tried his best, he would be able to install another hundred thousand people. However, there are dozens or even millions of people in any county in China, and only one hundred thousand people in the entire Palau is really not enough.
Zhu Tian had always heard that the Netherlands' sea and land reclamation technology was very advanced. Thinking that BMA Company was also a well-known Dutch company, he couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, our company's business scope includes land reclamation and shallow sea island construction projects." Hannah smiled.
"If I want to build an artificial island south of Anga Island near the equator, how much do you estimate it will cost?" Zhu Tian asked with interest.
"South of Anga Island?" Hannah was obviously stunned for a moment. Zhu Tian's question surprised her.
"Is there any problem?" Seeing Hannah's reaction, Zhu Tian frowned.
"If I remember correctly, the sea area south of Anga Island should be deep sea. Artificial island building is usually done in shallow seas, or is based on natural reefs. The sand and gravel required to build islands in the deep sea will be astronomical." Han.
Na explained.
"Isn't it possible to build a floating island? It's like a giant aircraft carrier." Zhu Tian asked reluctantly.
"Floating?" Hannah smiled, shook her head and said, "Wouldn't that wave just blow away?"
"Then use steel ropes or something like that to fix the floating island to the seabed, like an anchor." Zhu Tian asked.
Hannah shook her head again: "Impossible. If it is a small island, no steel cable can withstand such a terrifying pulling force. In addition, even if such a steel cable exists, the material of the island itself is a problem. It's like
A square kilometer of steel plate dropped on the water will be torn apart by tidal forces in less than a year. Unless you build this island out of titanium alloy, I can't think of a more suitable material."
Titanium alloy is 42% lighter than iron, but its mechanical strength is twice that of pure iron. From an objective point of view, titanium alloy is indeed an ideal material for building floating islands, but the cost...
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Tian sighed and said.
"Well, it seems that this matter needs to be considered again."
"I'm sorry I can't help you." Hannah said apologetically.
Although BMA said it could do nothing, Zhu Tian did not give up. What cannot be done in this world may not be difficult in the end of the world.
After sending Hannah out, Zhu Tian returned to the gym. His discussion with Xia Yuhe about the virtual helmet was interrupted in the middle of the discussion, and it was time to continue now.
But when he entered the door, he saw Xia Yuhe wearing a helmet and lying on a recliner.
Seeing this, Zhu Tian did not wake her up, but gently closed the door for her.
...
Time passed very quickly in the game. Although he was not very interested in games and his understanding was only limited to work needs, Xia Yuhe was still deeply attracted by this dreamlike sense of reality.
The dwarf blacksmith in the blacksmith shop comes from the Doom Mountains and was once a guard under the dwarf king. The beggar on the street corner was once a heroic sailor and sailed to the distant Horn Bay with the kingdom's fleet. He blew false alarms in the tavern.
The adventurer who accomplished his own feat of slaying dragons was actually just a lame farmer. He approached Xia Yuhe, but was ruthlessly rejected and fled amidst the ridicule of the entire tavern.
This world seems alive...
Perhaps due to her personality, she chose the profession of a magician who is known for her rigorousness. However, after registering an account, she did not immediately go on a mission or rush to explore the wild. Instead, she stayed here as a "tourist"
Started walking around the city.
In addition to those NPCs that seemed to be alive, what made Xia Yuhe sigh with emotion the most was that in this world, she could see the world clearly without the help of glasses.
That's right, after all, these images don't pass through the retina at all.
In this way, even a disabled person can live like a normal person in this virtual world... Looking at the swaying plants and trees, gently smelling the fragrance of flowers on the tip of his nose, Xia Yuhe said with emotion
.
Seeing that it was getting late, she stretched out her finger and swiped in the air, clicking the exit button.
Taking off his helmet, Xia Yuhe stretched lazily and sat up from the recliner. He felt more relaxed than ever before, as if he had taken a nap for a while.
The villa was very spacious, and it took a while for Xia Yuhe to find Zhu Tian sitting on the table reading a book from the study at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
Looking at the book in his hand, Xia Yuhe asked with some surprise: "Do you still have the habit of reading?"
"I can't help it. I'm in my position. Even if I don't want to, I have to recharge my batteries." Zhu Tian said shamelessly.
Xia Yuhe nodded approvingly to Zhu Tian's "diligence". Although he was not expected to help with the company's operations, as the chairman, it would definitely not hurt to know more about economics.
Zhu Tian put the unwarmed book aside and asked casually.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Xia Yuhe nodded, took a chair from the side and sat opposite Zhu Tian.
"It's about this virtual helmet."
"Technical problem?"
"No, it's about operations, but it has something to do with technology." Xia Yuhe paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "With the promotion channels of Daming Technology 1.0, it is easy for users to understand our products.
But there are two things I need to confirm. First, is it difficult to copy this virtual helmet?"
"The possibility of copycatting is zero. No one can do it in at least fifty years." Zhu Tian shook his head.
Any disassembly will cause the circuit to self-destruct. The internal structure of this helmet is almost equivalent to a "black box" for the holder. And even without such protection measures, it is very difficult to imitate the helmet. Let's talk about the chip in the helmet.
and circuit boards are all made of graphene material, and the current research on graphene material is still in its infancy.
