Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 312

Zhong Cheng, Lin Hansheng, Ye Wenhao and others took Bifang No. [-] to inspect more than a dozen new engineering sites in the Australian desert.

Half a month later, he returned to Beishan headquarters.

Zhong Cheng's special plane Bifang No. [-] has been with him for more than ten years. Although it has undergone three major revisions, it is still outdated compared with the current popular private jets and large luxury speeding cars.

Although the company repeatedly proposed to replace him with a brand new special plane, he did not agree. As long as the safety is ok, he doesn't care.

Sitting on the plane, he calmly listened to Lin Hansheng, Ye Wenhao and others discussing next year's harvest.

Although he didn't care, he still had some sense of accomplishment.

Ten years of desertification transformation has produced significant changes in the impact on the earth's environment. The hinterland of Asia replaced the Amazon forest in South America and became the largest carbon dioxide absorption area on the earth.

In 2028, for the first time on Earth, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has decreased since industrialization began 200 years ago.

Although the temperature of the earth is still rising slowly, the trend has reversed, and the rising trend of sea levels in major oceans has been contained.

The greatest contribution of Red Star Company to mankind is to provide a large amount of wood grains, so that human society will eliminate hunger for the first time in 2030. No one will starve to death due to normal reasons throughout the year. This is another milestone in the history of human society development.

Although the vast majority of people in the world still cannot afford wood grains, the general food supply is sufficient.

But the ensuing population explosion has become a headache for the three major federations.

2011年世界人口增长率约为1.1%，到了2032年，人口增长率达到了2.8%，超过了1963年世界人口增长2.2%的历史峰值。

并比预计的时间提前8年达到了80亿人口，而最多8年时间就会达到90亿人口，13年时间达到100亿人口。

The more food produced, the faster the population grows, and the larger the population, the more food is needed. This has become a strange circle.

The total human population is growing rapidly, and how to feed more people has become a major concern of the federal governments.

After all, the land on the earth is limited. To ensure the survival and reproduction of human beings, we must go to the starry sky, which has become the consensus of human beings.

At 7 pm on July 5, Zhong Cheng returned to his office in the Beishan headquarters building.

A few minutes later, Zhou Hu, Fu Huaquan, Li Shaojie, Chen Yilong, and Shi Hanxing arrived hand in hand.

At the end of last year, Li Changfeng retired and joined the board of directors, Zhou Hu took over as the general manager of Red Star, Zheng Yilun was the executive vice president, and Chen Qiang, Zhong Cheng's old colleague from the power battery factory, was added to the company's top management.

Li Shaojie and Chen Yilong are respectively in charge of the internal and external work of the security department of Red Star Company, especially the business research department established eight years ago, which has become an important department of Red Star Company.

Shi Hanxing is now the special assistant to the chairman and the spokesperson for Zhong Cheng's external activities.

After everyone was seated, Zhong Cheng nodded to Shi Hanxing. Shi Hanxing stood up and said in a deep voice: "The federal meeting to be held in September will make a proposal on opening up the federal enterprises to develop the solar system. The probability of passing the proposal is very high."

Zhou Hu slapped his thigh excitedly when he heard this, "Great, if this proposal is passed, then we will no longer just watch others play in the sky, we can only dig the earth."

Fu Huaquan was still a little worried, he said: "Han Xing, you have to worry about this matter, guard over there in Haicheng, don't be careless!"

Zhong Cheng arranged for Li Shaojie and Chen Yilong to cooperate with Shi Hanxing, making sure everything was safe. Red Star Company had been waiting for this day for too long.

In ten years, the Solar System Power Company, the former Krupp Company, and the Star Network Company, the former Umbrella Company, have grown rapidly and become two giants in the aerospace field.

The two rank second or third in the ranking of the world's largest companies, only after Red Star Company, but their share prices in the securities investment market have surpassed Red Star Company, and they have become the leaders of emerging technologies.

Five years ago, under the impetus of various forces, Red Star Company carried out a joint-stock reform and became a listed company. The federal government holds 40% of the total equity, all employees of Red Star Company jointly own 30%, and the other 30% are public shares.

Red Star Company raised a large amount of funds when it went public to maintain the huge investment in the third phase of the West Sea Project and the expansion of the company's original industrial production scale.

In 2032, the gross production value of Red Star Company exceeded the 100 trillion mark, but its development speed was far lower than that of emerging space enterprises led by Solar System Power Company and Star Network Company.

These emerging space companies use the nuclear fusion generators, ion engines, optical brains, power batteries, and industrial robots provided by Red Star Corporation to build cities on the moon, engage in real estate, mine resources, and set up factories to make a fortune and maintain extremely high development. speed.

If Red Star Company misses this round of development of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, it may really fall behind.

Now Red Star Company must catch the last train of this space development to have a chance to turn the situation around.

Everyone discussed the details again, and Zhong Cheng asked everyone to keep this matter a secret, and then announce the result when there is a result.

The empty joy ten years ago was still fresh in his memory.

The decision announced by Director Zhao at the board meeting abruptly interrupted Red Star Company's march into space, and set Red Star Company in the Gobi Desert for a full ten years.

In ten years, how many red star people's ambitions have been wiped out, countless old people have left their jobs with regrets, countless young people have become middle-aged, and middle-aged people have become old people, throwing away their great youth!
Although it is not said to be idle, compared with the great cause of leading mankind to open up the solar system, the work of "digging the earth" is still too far behind!
After five years of hard work, the shareholding structure of Red Star Company has undergone major changes. The number of shares held by employees of Red Star Company and the shares held by Shanhai Fund have exceeded 51% of the total equity of Red Star Company. The development of Red Star Company has been completely controlled by Red Star Company. It's all over.

He doesn't want to be someone else's chess piece anymore, although he doesn't want to be a chess player either, but at least what he wants to do is no longer influenced by others.

His own destiny is his own decision. This is a lesson that life has taught him, but Zhong Cheng himself can't say that such a change is good or bad.

I can only say that my previous self was too simple!

Blindly being upright and selfless is not good enough to be the head of a large company with millions of employees. Only by being flexible can we achieve the results we want.

Today, he dare not face Yang Jian's evaluation system anymore, and has turned off the system's evaluation function of human nature, leaving only the evaluation function of work ability and performance.

In the past, they tried in vain to quantify human nature, which is really arrogant!

Human nature is the most difficult thing to figure out. It is fickle and there is no fixed standard. How can it be judged accurately?

The tens of thousands of leading cadres who were dismissed by the system at that time have now become the backbone of the Red Star Agricultural Reclamation Company, making great contributions to solving the problems of the earth's environment and human beings' food and clothing.

The Red Star Land Reclamation Company has also become the largest branch company within the group, contributing more than one-third of the group's output value and profits.

This group of people used their efforts to wash away the shame of the past, but if the system is used to judge them humanely, what will happen, Zhong Cheng doesn't want to know.

Because even his own thoughts have changed too much, and he also doesn't want to know the result of the system's judgment on him.
