The news of Xin's successful launch of a meteorological satellite caused a small commotion in the international media, but it quickly calmed down. The national "Olympic project" of aerospace was no longer as popular as before. People were only slightly surprised that a small country in the Pacific made headlines again before they forgot about it.
For some reason, the UN observers hid the second-stage rocket launch technology used by Celestial Trade from the media, and Celestial Trade didn't publicly explain it to the media, so the technology didn't appear in the public's eyes.
But Jiang Chen was certain that NASA, located in the same city as the UN, must have learned of the news and was worrying about how to deal with the hearing in the UA Congress. Since they received a large budget each year, but they were outclassed by a small country in the Pacific in terms of technology …
Compared to Xin's calmness, the neighboring country F was in troubled times.
A few days ago, Moro's guerrillas successfully took over the city of Dawo and declared it to be the capital of Moro. Country F obviously wouldn't let this go. Aquino first made a speech condemning Santos as a terrorist and a criminal. He also sent two additional infantry divisions and a modern mechanical brigade trained by the UA military to MLL Island to launch a large-scale military campaign against MLL Island.
At the same time, after a month, UA completed the change of government and passed the resolution to support Country F's resistance against Moro's independence movement. They also sent F35 fighter jets to the guerrillas' command center.
The war was once again in a tense situation.
On the other hand, the Vice President of Xin visited New Guinea with the Minister of Economy. He also brought along representatives from Future Mining and a dozen Ange Island entrepreneurs, as well as a project with a total value of over one billion USD.
Yang Yuan seemed to have walked out of Sophie's shadow as he focused all of his energy on his work and tried to forget that feeling. In this trip to New Guinea, as the general manager of Future Mining, he personally went and acquired five steel plants and two aluminum processing plants for Future Mining to transfer the highly polluting production from Ange Island to the underdeveloped neighboring country.
BHP Mining Group's ores were transported to New Guinea for rough processing before they were transported back to Xin for further processing using special production equipment to create a special iron-aluminum alloy material. The iron-aluminum alloy was light, but its hardness and strength were comparable to titanium alloy. Jiang Chen didn't explain the purpose of the alloy to Yang Yuan in detail. He only stated that the alloy would be used to complete a special project.
While the Vice President was visiting New Guinea, President Zhang Yaping signed a bill to simplify the processing of tourist visas, as well as reducing tourism taxes and 11 other policies to stimulate the development of the tourism industry. With the promulgation of these policies, Xin laid the foundation for the booming development of the tourism industry. 2017 was destined to be the first year of Xin's tourism industry.
Wei Yun, the general manager of Future Tourism, had already received the news from Jiang Chen and was fully prepared for this day. With the Heart of the Sea, Undersea Hotel, Hot Spring Beach, Sea Maze, and many other tourism projects as signboards, unique tourism advertisements were published on the Internet and television platforms, and even appeared on the screen of Times Square in the United States.
Coro Island Airport opened the newly built runway, enough to meet the daily takeoff and landing of 1700 aircraft. It also added direct flights to international cities such as Shangjing, Wanghai, Xiangjiang, New York, Los Angeles, and Paris to avoid the trouble of many passengers having to transfer in Australia.
On the first day of flights, the number of tourists entering the country with tourist visas increased from 1347 to 2397, and it continued to increase at a terrifying rate. Based on the Xin Tourism Bureau's estimation, the number of new tourists in the first quarter of 2017 was expected to exceed 100,000 and reach 500,000 in the second quarter.
Due to the impact of this data, the three major international credit rating agencies all raised Xin's investment rating, which led to a massive influx of international capital.
President Zhang Yaping was overjoyed. In 2016, Xin's GDP growth was close to 100%, and the country's economic pillar changed from fishing and farming to manufacturing and tourism.
The performance of Future Group's assets was impressive, but compared to Future Technology, even if all of them were added together, they still paled in comparison.
The first batch of 30 million Phantom Helmets was sold out within a day of being put on the shelves, and the price was inflated to nearly three times the original price on the black market. Because of this, Future Technology had to issue an announcement on their official website to adopt a restriction strategy. Each Future account could only purchase two Phantom helmets at most, which alleviated the situation.
But even so, the Phantom helmets that entered the global market were all sold out on the first day. A lot of netizens who didn't know the truth even began to accuse Future Technology of being too arrogant and using hunger marketing to bully the consumers who supported them.
But Future Technology had their own difficulties. Since the tens of millions of helmets were evenly distributed to the global market, there would only be four to five million units in each country. If he wanted to fill the empty market with his own strength, he would need a certain amount of time.
But then again, no matter how much these people scolded, when the new helmets arrived, the first thing they would do was to buy them and place an order. And Future Technology's products didn't disappoint their expectations.
With all 80 million helmets sold, after deducting transportation, production costs, and taxes, the average profit per helmet was 791.1 USD, and the total profit reached a terrifying 64.07 billion USD! The terrifying profitability scared the entire Wall Street.
Since in the field of virtual auditions, Future Technology, with its absolute technological advantage, couldn't find a competitor that could compete with it. No matter how the patent offices tried to sell the benefits of patent applications, Future Technology was unmoved.
With an absolute technological advantage, Future Technology didn't need to go public in exchange for protection.
With 64.07 billion USD in his hands, the first thing Jiang Chen did was to repay the loan from Rothschild Bank with interest.
After the loan was repaid, the president of Rothschild Bank politely told Jiang Chen that if there were any cash flow difficulties, he should contact them. To this, Jiang Chen only smiled and didn't provide any response.
Future Technology's profit alone was enough to satisfy Future Group's expansion needs. He didn't need loans anymore.
With the official release of the Phantom helmet, Future Technology and Godly Land's official website also published the official release date of the first immersive virtual reality MMORPG. They also released the arena mode from the Second Beta and opened up the registration of game characters.
Although the initial virtual reality helmet only had the grey cube room and a simple web browsing function, the first virtual reality helmet only had the grey cube room and a simple web browsing function. But even so, a lot of people were happy to wear the helmet all night long. A lot of tech companies were blowing up Future Technology's phone lines, hoping to solve the compatibility problem of their software on the Phantom helmet. Among them was Tencent, who desperately wanted to expand their social media platform on the Phantom helmet.
Future Technology's response was also very official. Due to technical reasons, the Phantom helmet could only load Godly Land and the built-in web browser. With the improvement of the technology, the compatibility problem would be solved.
Since before the formal collaboration, Future Technology needed to consider what they could collaborate on and what they had to hold in their own hands.
Just as the world went crazy over the immersive virtual reality technology, Jiang Chen boarded the plane to Shangjing with the Xin delegation and began his visit to Hua.
