"… The delegation we sent to South America has basically completed the negotiations with Ecuador, and the progress has been quite smooth. The Ecuadorian President agreed to connect the country's power grid with ours, and even welcomed us to register a local power company, export electricity directly to them, and help them invest in the construction of the national power grid. Their only requirement is that the construction and maintenance of the submarine cable will be undertaken by us. "Through the interdimensional communication device, Xia Shiyu reported the progress of yesterday's work to Jiang Chen.
South American countries were generally poor, and Ecuador's finance could not support a submarine cable across the ocean alone. It was basically impossible to recover the investment through the domestic power market, so they simply outsourced the entire project to Celestial Trade.
Jiang Chen didn't intend to recover the investment from Ecuador. His real goal was Brazil behind Ecuador. As the largest economy in South America with the world's eighth largest electricity consumption, exporting cheap electricity to Brazil was the ultimate goal of Jiang Chen's global power grid.
The conditions offered by Ecuador were exactly what Jiang Chen wanted. As for investing in the construction of the local power grid, it was not a problem at all for Celestial Trade. At most, it would be a problem of 100 million.
However, the Ecuadorian government was quite open-minded. They even trusted a foreign company to operate the national power grid.
Looking at Xia Shiyu on the holographic screen, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"If you care about me, then come back early." Xia Shiyu, who was sitting in the office, rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen. The inadvertent charm, no matter how many times he saw it, was always so captivating.
Generally speaking, a work report like this was done face-to-face in the dead of night. But because Jiang Chen had to stay in the apocalypse for a few days, Ayesha lent her EP and used the chip designed by Lin Lin to complete the interdimensional communication.
It was almost time to get off work, and Xia Shiyu finished all the work at hand. After talking about business, Jiang Chen began to chat with her.
When she heard Jiang Chen talk about his experience in the apocalypse, Xia Shiyu made a small request.
"Can you let me look out the window? I've always been curious. The apocalypse you mentioned … what kind of world is it? Ah, of course, if it's not convenient, then forget it. "As soon as she said this, Xia Shiyu suddenly regretted it.
His curiosity was genuine. Since Jiang Chen confessed the secrets of this world to her, she had been curious about what kind of war could burn everything accumulated by human civilization for 22 centuries in just three years.
However, what made her worried was that she was not sure if Jiang Chen would unreservedly present the world that belonged to him to her. Although she wouldn't be disappointed even if she was rejected, she was worried that Jiang Chen would overthink it …
Needless to say, a woman in love would have a wild imagination. Jiang Chen didn't think it was that complicated, especially since there was nothing to keep secret about.
"There's nothing inconvenient about it. It's just that I can't see anything from here." Jiang Chen pointed the camera outside the window. "Today's weather is great. I can see the blue sky and white clouds. Outside the walls of the mansion was the Fishbone base. Now that all the mutants and zombies in Wanghai were cleared out, the only way to see mutants was to go to Jia. If you're interested, I'll take a video for you when I get the chance. "
"Fishbone base? That's a strange name. "Xia Shiyu giggled while covering her mouth.
Jiang Chen also laughed and said, "It got its name from a canned food brand. It sure is nostalgic."
The experience of using sandpaper to grind the outer packaging of the canned food made him sob in retrospect.
Just as Jiang Chen looked out the window and reminisced about the "hard times" in the past, a soft touch pressed against the back of his head. Two arms hugged him from behind.
"What are you doing?" Sun Jiao's voice rang in his ear as she looked at the holographic screen with interest.
Jiang Chen was just about to say that he was on the phone, but at this moment, he felt a murderous gaze locked onto him across the dimension.
He shuddered involuntarily. Jiang Chen suddenly realized that it wasn't Ayesha who was on the phone with him, but a jealous person …
"Hello." Sun Jiao greeted Xia Shiyu with a smirk. Her eyes quickly scanned her chest as the corners of her mouth curled up a little.
This small action obviously didn't escape the eyes of Xia Shiyu, who was also a woman. Looking at Sun Jiao's body that was at least 36D, and then remembering her own body that was only slightly longer than Ayesha's, her self-esteem took a huge hit.
Even if Jiang Chen confessed to her that he had a "family" in this world comparable to the modern world, when she saw Jiang Chen with a woman she didn't know, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
"She … is the Sun Jiao I was talking about." Jiang Chen forced himself to introduce her to Xia Shiyu, but he couldn't think of anything to say.
Looking at Jiang Chen's awkward expression, Sun Jiao suddenly understood something. With a smirk, she put her face close to his and said intimately, "Honey, why are you so nervous?"
That icy beauty's face became even colder at this moment.
"I'll ask you when you come back! Humph! "
Xia Shiyu hung up the phone in a fit of pique.
Jiang Chen opened his mouth, shook his head, and turned off the holographic screen. He looked at Sun Jiao, who sat down on the sofa across from him, and sighed.
"You've caused me a big problem."
"Do you have to kneel on a washboard when you go back?" Sun Jiao mocked.
"That's not necessarily the case … Where did you learn that from? There's no washboard here. "
"From some novels before the war. Don't worry about these details." Sun Jiao waved her hand, leaned on the sofa, and lazily crossed her legs. Then she said, "Let's put aside the unimportant things and talk about business first. The things you asked me to do have been done. The Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute has established the 'T3 Power Armor Automatic Production Project in a Zero-Gravity Environment'. According to the space station specifications you provided, it is expected that the production process will be divided into five modules and completed by five space stations with different functions. "
"How long will it take to produce results?" Jiang Chen asked immediately.
Sun Jiao grinned and said, "It won't take long. The technology is ready-made, and there are a few experts in Camp 27 who worked on the outer space production unit design before the war. Based on what Jiang Lin said, we can get the prototype by the end of the month. "
