I am farming in the real world

Chapter 250: An Unusual Airshow (6)

The Neom City project that Abdullah mentioned is a national infrastructure project proposed by the Saudi Crown Prince in 2022.

It is called a national infrastructure project because, in the project's PPT, the Saudi Crown Prince showed the world a "zero-carbon linear city" standing in the desert and coastline, spanning 170 kilometers and covering an area of 26,500 square kilometers.

The most eye-catching thing is that the width of this linear city is only 200 meters!

You should know that Chen Jue's Magic Cube factory has reached 800 meters wide after the expansion.

However, the Neom New City, which claims to be able to accommodate 5 million permanent residents in the future, is only as wide as a junior high school playground.

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

It's even more exaggerated than playing the MC game!

From a distance, this thing looks like a huge piece of glass inserted into the desert. The bright silver walls on both sides can even absorb solar energy for power generation.

That's why the feudal dynasties of the past liked to create wonders.

Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, the Egyptian pharaohs built the pyramids, and now it's the turn of the Arab princes to play with wonders.

First, they built a 7-star sailing hotel in Dubai, and then they built a half-finished Palm Island.

Now it's the turn of the Saudi Crown Prince to take office, and naturally, he has to create some fancy wonders.

Therefore, the NEOM New City project, which is comparable to MC infrastructure, came into being under such a background.

But the problem is that this new city looks beautiful, and the high technology inside is written all over the PPT.

Once construction starts, the difficulty of construction is as difficult as Boeing wanting 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 in summer, with little rainfall, severe desertification, and a serious shortage of underground freshwater resources.

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

The initial payment for the Neom New City project reached 500 billion US dollars, and the bidding contractors are also large construction companies from all over the world.

Of course, these days, no one in the world can compare with China in the field of infrastructure construction.

As a result, 90% of the Neom New City project was eventually contracted by domestic construction companies.

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

In addition to the difficulty of obtaining water near the construction site, the requirements of Party A for the vertical 500-meter-high wall are becoming more and more perverted.

If it is purely poured with reinforced concrete, the thing built will indeed be strong and imposing, but it deviates from the original intention of the Neom project's 'artificial intelligence city'.

Therefore, under the bizarre operation of the future crown prince, the surrounding plan for the walls on both sides has not been finalized for a long time, and the project progress has been delayed again and again.

The reasons behind this are, first, the subsequent funding provided by the crown prince has been under some pressure, and the first batch of 500 billion plans has been discounted.

Secondly, the Saudi side wants to delay the progress and see if there will be newer technologies and materials in the field of infrastructure construction in the next few years.

After all, the planning of the Neom New City project has been extended to 2040 in one go, and a delay of more than ten years is completely affordable for a local tyrant country like Saudi Arabia.

In this way, a group of Saudi princes who want to make money in the Neom project are in a hurry.

This is a major infrastructure project related to the national image. The project has already started, how can it be stopped with a brake?

Therefore, when this Prince Abdullah saw the high-strength MC [glass] block disclosed at the Magic Cube Group booth, his eyes were firmly attracted to it like a magnet.

"Dear Mr. Chen! Please be sure to send this prefabricated building material to Saudi Arabia! It is best to send a team of your company's technicians."

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

"This is the ballast stone given to Neom New City by God! If it can pass the acceptance of the project team, this will be a big contract of no less than 100 billion dollars!" Abdullah said very excitedly.

I didn't expect that this time to participate in the Haizhu Airshow in China, I unexpectedly discovered high-tech materials to save the Neom project.

Even in order to seize his share of the rebate commission, this Prince Abdullah even took several photos of parameters and samples and sent them to the Saudi Crown Prince.

Suddenly, even Chen Jue was shocked by the large-scale handwriting of this group of Middle Eastern local tyrants.

"Are you sure it's... dollars?" Chen Jue took a breath of cold air.

This is the largest cash contract he has ever come into contact with since he started his business.

Abdullah nodded: "It must be green coins!"

Even a group of accompanying generals and military officers were stunned by this terrifying 100 billion US dollar contract.

You should know that the total transaction volume of each Haizhu Airshow is only one or two thousand RMB.

Chen Jue didn't sell half a bullet, but he made a big contract of an estimated no less than 100 billion US dollars just by selling infrastructure materials.

Such an exaggerated contract amount is an out-and-out big satellite in the national infrastructure market.

"Chief, I remember that the cost of our 055 large destroyer is only 6 billion RMB. If we can intercept this money, how many 055s can we exchange for?" A senior colonel officer in charge of naval equipment sales muttered.

"Then the displacement tonnage exceeding the old beauty is just around the corner!"

Major General Lin was envious and jealous for a while.

I can't wait to transform myself into the blocky [glass] in the promotional video and pack it up and sell it to Saudi Arabia.

…

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

He first called the factory and arranged for an iron golem and several lawyers and sales staff from the group to take an expert to Saudi Arabia to do the initial contact for the Neom New City project.

In his opinion, at least half of the profits from Saudi Arabia's infrastructure project, which is comparable to a future city, can slip into the accounts of the Magic Cube Group.

After all, with the BUG prop of [Furnace] in hand, refining MC products such as [glass] only requires digging sand in the local desert in Saudi Arabia and burning it.

In addition to the raw materials of [glass] being almost free.

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

What kind of country is Saudi Arabia?

A major oil-producing country in the Middle East!

The underground is full of 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, Chen Jue would feel sorry for this group of generous big households if he didn't mark a piece of MC [glass] for ten thousand or eight thousand dollars.

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

"At least 340 million pieces of [glass] are needed." Chen Jue pressed the calculator, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

Regardless of whether this business can be done or not, he is determined to make this friend Abdullah.

So, after talking about sending the MC [glass] material for inspection, Chen Jue invited: "My friend, on the last day of the airshow, our Magic Cube Group will also hold a groundbreaking product launch."

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

With that, Chen Jue stuffed the other party with a gilded white invitation letter.

On the LOGO of this invitation letter, a flying magic cube suspended in mid-air was impressively printed.
