The activities of the globalists continued to heat up.
Eliminate borders, global free trade, unified currency, federal constitution …
If these absurd slogans were said a few years ago, most people would only scoff at them and wouldn't even really take this sentence to heart. However, with the establishment of Tiangong City, the Europa cooperative colonization plan of the Defense Alliance, and the increasing contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, this slogan no longer sounded so distant and illusory.
Coupled with the continued warming of the international situation, the military conflict between Xin and the UA almost triggered World War III, and many people were tired of war.
To some extent, anti-war sentiment played a role in promoting the movement of the globalists. After all, there seemed to be only one way to fundamentally eliminate all conflicts, and that was to completely eliminate the main body of war.
Jiang Chen was pleased to see that the seeds he planted had already grown tender sprouts.
…
December 2021. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and the "Marchena Plan", which lasted for nearly a year, finally came to an end.
Jiang Chen visited Ecuador by plane and met with the Ecuadorian President, a group of senior ministers, and local industry representatives. At the same time, in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, the Ecuadorian government arranged a grand completion ceremony for the space elevator located in the Western Hemisphere.
It was not only the upper class of South America that was scheduled to attend the ceremony, but also big entrepreneurs from other South American countries and even North America. After all, it was impossible for a small South American country like Ecuador to monopolize the benefits of the space elevator. Even if it was built in their country, all they could do was follow the trend of space resource development and take a bite out of it.
If they dared to take a bite out of the space elevator, those international capital giants had countless ways to make them spit out what they ate. All kinds of financial short-selling methods could teach them a lesson in minutes.
However, the Ecuadorian government was obviously very self-aware and sent about 100 invitations to Manhattan Island a month ago. Most of them were Wall Street bankers, and there were also financial giants like Loki.
They were the main force in the development of space resources. A small country like Ecuador did not even have a decent space company, let alone developing outer space resources.
As soon as he got off the plane, Jiang Chen was warmly welcomed by the citizens of Quito at the exit of Quito International Airport. Facing the enthusiastic citizens, he smiled and waved. Although there was a sense of performance in it, it could be seen that the respect and gratitude in people's eyes were not fake.
Since the Global Power Grid was connected to Ecuador, not only had the cost of electricity dropped significantly, but more employment opportunities had also emerged. The capital of Ecuador was progressing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There were many countries hostile to Celestial Trade, but Third World countries like Ecuador were definitely not among them.
He smiled and waved at the crowd, then got into the car that greeted him and headed to the Xin Embassy in Ecuador. At the entrance of the embassy, he met the newly appointed President of Ecuador. Although it was the first time they met, under the president's deliberate flattery, the two of them quickly chatted together.
"I wonder when the space elevator can be used?"
"Early next year." Jiang Chen smiled. "I just don't know if your country is ready to welcome the new era. When the time comes, don't say I didn't warn you. When the Macena Port is opened, cargo ships from all over the Americas and even Europe across the Atlantic Ocean will flock to Ecuador. This isn't just an opportunity, it's also a huge challenge. "
"We are ready to meet all challenges." The Ecuadorian President looked at Jiang Chen eagerly and laughed. "You can rest assured about this!"
"No need for me to rest assured. As long as you know." Jiang Chen nodded.
"We have prepared a formal dinner for you at the Hilton Hotel. We welcome your visit. I wonder if you have time?" The Ecuadorian President invited respectfully.
"Of course." Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
The banquet was held at the Hilton Hotel.
Early in the morning, the place was surrounded by the Ecuadorian Army and conducted a carpet inspection. To ensure that nothing went wrong, a Special Forces Brigade was even deployed in the block near the Hilton Hotel and the streets leading to the hotel were blocked.
It was obvious that Mr. President put a lot of effort into this banquet. However, even without these security measures, Jiang Chen didn't care too much about security. Not to mention the protection of the Ghost Agents and Lilith, no matter where he went, there was an orbital airborne force of dozens of people on standby.
On this planet, there was nothing that could threaten him.
At the banquet, Jiang Chen saw a lot of acquaintances.
Although the Ecuadorian officials only sent about a hundred invitations to Wall Street, many capital moguls smelled blood. Even if they didn't receive an invitation, they used various means to squeeze into the banquet hall.
"Greetings, Mr. Jiang Chen." Leslie elegantly lifted the hem of her dress and said hello to Jiang Chen. Her pair of beautiful eyes sparkled. "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. I miss you very much. Is your body okay?"
"Very good …" Jiang Chen raised his glass slightly, gave Miss Leslie a suggestive look, and said with a smile, "We can discuss this issue later."
Leslie understood and giggled. She left a suggestive look, turned around, and walked gracefully to the dance floor.
"Leslie Garcia, the princess of Wall Street." With a bottle of champagne in his hand, Loki, whose hair was slightly white, took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said in a casual tone, "It seems that my son has encountered a difficult opponent."
"Oh?" Jiang Chen smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Don't mind me. I mean, I will make him back off. If my useless son dares to bother Miss Garcia again, I will personally break his legs. "Loki clinked glasses with Jiang Chen, squeezed his eyebrows, and said pleasantly.
"That's too serious. I still have some confidence in my charm." Jiang Chen smiled.
"Haha, it's good to be young."
"Do you want to be young again?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"No one wouldn't want to," Loki sighed. Luo Qi sighed and said emotionally, "I'm honored to be able to witness the rise of a great era in my lifetime."
"What if there is a chance to make you young again?"
"You're kidding," Loki said with a smile.
"I'm really kidding." Jiang Chen smiled and continued in a casual tone, "It's impossible to restore the aging part of your body, but it's not a problem to let you live for a few more decades."
As soon as he finished.
Clatter.
The wine glass fell on the red carpet …
