America's Road to Fame

Chapter 554 Long Live Single
As the scale of the GB1 battery production base in the Atlanta Economic Zone on Malus Island continues to expand and the battery yield rate increases, this super battery has gradually begun to be supplied to Tesla.

The new Model S special edition electric sedan using the GB1 battery has already started accepting reservations.

The factor limiting the output of this car is no longer the production capacity of Tesla's factory, but the output of GB1 batteries.

This has led to Musk now having to call William Chen every day to urge him, even wishing that he would go to Malus Island to sit in the town himself to ensure that every battery produced will be shipped to the Tesla factory...

The shortage of GB1 batteries was not alleviated until October, when the second phase of the battery factory of Future Energy in the Atlanta Economic Zone of Malus Island was completed.

In addition, with William Chen's continuous efforts, he finally got a diagnosis sheet from Ivanta...

Uh, the medical terminology is a bit complicated, but in a nutshell, she's pregnant again.

"That's... great, dear."

William Chen happily said to Ivanta.

"Really? William."

"Of course, have you forgotten, I told you that we should work hard and have another child."

The expression was very sincere, but in fact, William Chen was really panicked...

Although he did say that, he was right, but seeing Ivanta's serious expression, he knew that things must not be that simple.

"Do you want me to be the third party to give birth to your child? William, I would rather not have ta..."

"Honey, calm down, I'll take care of it."

In fact, Chen William would like to say that you should be grateful to the United States now, and you can use this to threaten me. If the law is amended to prohibit abortion in the future...

Uh, this is just a joke. In fact, no matter when, even in the chaotic times in the United States in the future, this kind of restriction is only for ordinary people, especially the poor.

An identity like Ivanta cannot be restricted at all.

Not long after, William Chen and Paris completed the divorce procedures-this was a tacit understanding when they first got married.

Just like William Chen's previous marriage to Ivanta, his marriage to Paris was more about giving dignity to the other's family and their children. In fact, the relationship between them no longer required marriage. Relationship to maintain, not to mention feelings, even the entanglement of interests is enough.

Of course, even legally, the marriage has been terminated, but the news was not announced immediately.

And after that, William Chen didn't plan to get married anymore, the back and forth was too troublesome, and with his current status, there was no need to obtain the other party's consent through marriage.

Long live being single, you don't need to be bound by a fixed partner. In this state, even if Ivanta, who is an "independent woman" on her body, is pregnant with his child, her image will not be damaged.

Otherwise, if the hat of getting involved in marriage is put on, the image will be damaged immediately.

Not only Ivanta, but other women also breathed a sigh of relief after William Chen became single again. Perhaps the only one who was slightly upset was Paris... But fortunately, her personality is In this way, William Chen took the time to coax him a little bit, and the rain was over.

At the end of October 2013, the Yamaha cross-sea bridge was fully opened to traffic, and the time from Atlanta to Malus Island by car will be shortened to less than half an hour.

And if you take the light rail train, the time will be shorter.

The completion of the Yamato cross-sea bridge has made the connection between Atlanta and Malus Island closer, and the circulation of the Yamato economic circle has become smoother.

Not long after, the construction of the second phase of the Luwa nuclear power plant was also announced to be completed, and the two nuclear power units have all completed grid-connected power generation, which will provide a strong impetus for the Yamato economic circle.

Prior to this, the defense commissioner of the Atlanta Management Committee arrived in the United States and finally signed an arms order with a total amount of 5 million US dollars.

This includes the purchase of the second Perry-class frigate named "Atlas" by Southern Cross Security Company, as well as updated and newly purchased missile defense, air defense, and individual combat equipment.

Of course, with the signing of this order, the military of the United States also reciprocated, and will give limited support to Atlanta in the resolution of Malus' crisis.

At this time, the general election in Papua New Guinea has ended. After the new president took office, he announced that he would re-examine the previous memorandum of understanding on the joint development of the Raubom Naval Base on Malus Island with Australia.

At the same time, the visiting team led by Erica, the chief member of the Atlanta Management Committee, arrived in Papua New Guinea.

During the talks with Papua New Guinea, Atlanta first reviewed the traditional friendship with Papua New Guinea, especially the win-win results of the previous purchase of the Hermi Islands.

In the end, Erica proposed the latest solution to the Malus crisis. Atlanta hopes to purchase land including Malus Island and its affiliated islands, which covers almost the entire territory of the current Malus Province. The total area is 2100 square kilometers.

At the beginning, Atlanta bought the Hermi Islands with a total area of ​​nearly 40 square kilometers and spent 3 million US dollars.

As for Malus Province, which is 50 times larger than the Hermi Islands, Atlanta offered a plan to pay 200 billion U.S. dollars in three years.

At the same time, if the transaction is completed, Atlanta also promises to invest a total of US$300 billion in Papua New Guinea within five years, which will help Papua New Guinea invest in infrastructure, mining and agriculture to boost its economy.

To be honest, although Malus Province is the smallest province in Papua New Guinea, the new president is still very hesitant when Atlanta wants to buy it all at once.

But if he refused, it would be difficult for him to speak, because Atalan——had given too much.

You know, last year, Papua New Guinea's national GDP just exceeded 150 billion US dollars. From this, it can be seen that although this country has a large land area, it is really poor.

And just by selling the land in Malus Province, they can not only solve the current troubles, but also get 200 billion U.S. dollars, plus the investment promised by Atlanta, which exceeds the total GDP of the previous four years...

For Papua New Guinea, it is very simple to reject Atlanta's proposal, but what they need to face later is that the other party withdraws its investment in Malus Island, so that they retain the Malus Province, but before Atlanta's large-scale investment , Papua New Guinea doesn’t pay much attention to Papua New Guinea itself, it’s isolated overseas, and it doesn’t have much resources—they don’t even have complete local infrastructure, let alone build there.

Well, it is easy to imagine that as a result of the refusal, Atlanta withdrew from Malus, and the local economy declined. However, given the current situation, if that happens, I am afraid that the local area will return to Atlanta without waiting for Atlanta to withdraw its capital. , out of Papua New Guinea.

Compared with this, selling the province of Malus, although it is not good-looking, can obtain tangible benefits.

And the most important thing is that I, the president who just took office, didn't start selling it. When the Hermi Islands were sold before, didn't the country still applaud?

After Atlanta made this proposal to Papua New Guinea to buy land, Papua New Guinea did not agree or reject it, but only indicated that it needs to be considered...
