Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 315 Shanhai Building
2033 7 Month 15 Day.

Zhong Cheng, Zhou Hu, Li Shaojie, Shi Hanxing and others went to Haicheng to meet with some important figures of the federation, and worked hard for the motion to lift the ban on space in September.

The resistance to this matter is not only from within the Asian Federation, but the European and American Federations are also trying their best to stop them. The target they are blocking is actually the Red Star Company.

In the past few years, due to the closer economic ties, the three major federations have infiltrated each other. It is already that there is me in you, and you in me. Cooperation is far greater than confrontation.

The world pattern has become dominated by competition among large companies. The importance of large companies in the world economy is becoming more and more obvious. The top ten large companies account for more than 60% of the world's total economic output.

From the perspective of equity composition, it is difficult to simply say which federal company these large companies belong to.

These big companies have huge influence on the three major federations, and using the federation's authority to suppress each other is a routine method.

Because the government's economic strength is no longer enough to carry out large-scale space development, the European and American Federation has released its authority since its establishment, allowing all companies registered in the European and American Federation to participate in the development of the solar system.

The Asian Federation is still dominated by the Federal Space Affairs Administration in space development. In recent years, it has obviously lagged behind the development progress of the European and American Federations, which has caused serious dissatisfaction among companies and the public in the Federation.

It is imperative for the Asian Federation to release space development authority, but Zhong Cheng still dare not take it lightly.

No amount of effort is too much to release the last rope that binds the development of Red Star Company.

Zhong Cheng and others took Bifang No. [-] and flew over Haicheng. The Haicheng below is completely different from ten years ago.

The urban area of ​​Haicheng City has expanded several times, and its population has exceeded 1 million. It is the largest city in the world today and has become the center of the world.

The old buildings and old streets in the original urban area have been demolished and replaced by stretches of high-rise buildings.

Due to the use of soil-based building materials, the high-rise buildings newly built in the past ten years have been built higher and higher, constantly breaking the record of tallest buildings in the world.

The Asian Federal Building completed the year before last is a 288-story skyscraper with a height of 1998 meters, but the world record set was replaced by the newly built Shanhai Building last year.

Shanhai Building is a sole proprietorship of Shanhai Venture Capital Fund, the fifth largest company in the world today, with a height of 2008 meters, 10 meters higher than the Federal Building.

However, the building is slender in appearance, like a sharp sword piercing into the sky, and the actual usable area of ​​the building is much smaller than the Federal Building.

Such an architectural style far exceeds the Federal Building in terms of technical difficulty, and has become a new landmark of Haicheng.

The goal of Zhong Cheng and his team is Shanhai Building. Shanhai Building is the new headquarters building of Shanhai Fund. Yang Shuzhen moved to Shanhai Building to work last year.

In the bustling area on both sides of the Huangpu River in Haicheng, the original Hongxing Heavy Industry Building, the tallest building in the world, has disappeared from the public.

Both Hongxing Building and Shanhai Building are actually properties directly under Zhong Cheng, but they are private and public. The current situation makes him not know what to think.

Although he didn't do it on purpose, when he came to Haicheng, because Yang Shuzhen was in Shanhai Mansion, his first choice of landing was changed to Shanhai Mansion.

Bifang No. [-] decelerated and descended from a high altitude, and merged into the low-altitude air passage in Haicheng.

Yan'an Road, the east-west main road of Haicheng, is full of flying cars, distributed in nearly a hundred aerial passages ranging from 20 meters to 800 meters.

On the contrary, the viaduct on the ground has been dismantled and transformed into a pedestrian street. Now ground motor vehicles are not allowed to enter within the middle ring of Haicheng.

Just lots of bikes on the ground and it's like the 80s again.

This modern international metropolis is based on the underground subway network, the electric flying car in the sky and the bicycle on the ground, which constitute the way people travel in the city, harmoniously combining the past, present and future.

Of course, this is just the emotion of some elderly people!

Bifang No. 294 landed on the [-]th floor of Shanhai Building. Zhong Cheng saw Lu Yao and Yang Shuzhen as soon as he got off the plane.

Everyone sat down in a luxurious living room on the top floor of the building, which was regarded as Zhong Cheng's exclusive foothold.

He rejected the proposal to set up another office in Shanhai Building. He rarely came to Haicheng, and the office in Hongxing Building was often wasted if it was idle.

Lu Yao told everyone about the latest situation, and introduced Zhong Cheng's meeting arrangements for the past few days.

Zhong Cheng is very unfamiliar with the current high-level leaders of the Federation, and he only knows him through the news media.

Li Changfeng, Zhou Hu, Jiang Shaohua and others are basically responsible for the communication between Red Star Company and Federation, but on this important matter, the big shots still hope to hear Zhong Cheng's opinion.

Although Red Star Company has "declined", it is still the world's largest company, providing more than 40% of industrial products and 20% of food products for the world. Every move of Red Star Company still attracts the attention of countless people.

Zhong Cheng had no objection to Lu Yao's arrangement, it was nothing more than meeting some people and promising some things.

The old people he used to be familiar with have already left their posts one after another, and he has lost his awe of these high-level people now.

After talking about the business, Zhong Cheng asked about AirAsia's recent status. Lu Yao's Huaxia Air Service Company has been renamed AirAsia Service Company, and its business conditions have not been very good in recent years.

The establishment of a large global market is also accompanied by the opening of some core technologies of Red Star. The European and American Federations have successively established European Air Service Company and American Air Service Company, adopting the same business model as AirAsia, and facing each other.

The three major commercial companies are competing on a global scale. Although AirAsia is still in the lead for the time being, its position as the largest commercial company is also in jeopardy.

The three major commercial companies are ranked eighty or ninety among the world's top ten companies, and the gap between them is already very small.

European Airlines and American Airlines took advantage of the opportunity to build an aviation service building in an emerging city on the moon, and proposed a new concept of building an integrated business circle on the earth and the moon, which is now gaining momentum.

Lu Yao is equally enthusiastic about the lifting of the Asian Federation's space ban, not to mention the dozen or so cities of the Asian Federation on the moon. If Red Star Company can enter space on a large scale, then Mars, Venus, and Mercury will have more room for development in the future.

After all, compared to the moon, these terrestrial planets with atmospheres are the main targets of large-scale human immigration.

The Asian Federation has strongly classified the best terrestrial planets in the inner solar system, but the development progress is slow, which is regrettable.

Regardless of Mars, which is "close at hand", the Federal Space Administration is busy seizing asteroids in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

This kind of thinking can't be said to be completely wrong, but I have forgotten the truth about how much I can eat as much as I can.
