Chapter 582: Powering the World, Chen Xing Returns!
After the 144-hour visa-free travel received excellent feedback, the National Immigration Administration discussed overnight and decided to extend the time to 14 days, that is, 336 hours.
After all, Longguo is vast and rich in resources. Let alone 6 days, even 14 days is not enough to experience a few cities.
Take East Guangdong as an example. The culture of the province alone is divided into Cantonese, Chaoshan and Hakka. The three food cultures, lifestyles and festival activities are very different. If you want to have fun, you really can't stay for a month or two.
And the most important and most anticipated thing for foreign tourists is that Longguo is about to usher in the Spring Festival. This festival can be said to be the most important and sacred day in the minds of Longguo people.
In order to prepare for the Spring Festival, cities in Longguo have begun to plan activities.
For example, Cantonese, not only are the roads decorated with lights and red hangings all over the streets, full of the flavor of the New Year, but also plans to hold an unprecedented food festival of 10,000 people, so that tourists from all over the world can taste the delicious Cantonese cuisine.
In addition to Guangzhou, some cities that banned fireworks and firecrackers also issued rare documents, indicating that fireworks are allowed this year.
In the past, people felt that the New Year atmosphere was missing, largely because of the lack of fireworks and firecrackers, because without the sound of fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year, the whole city would seem deserted.
And most importantly, in the history and culture of Longguo, fireworks and firecrackers are used to drive away the Nian beast.
It has been like this for five thousand years, and it is definitely not accustomed to not having fireworks and firecrackers suddenly.
It is no exaggeration to say that under the global attention, all cities in Longguo are trying their best to improve their international reputation.
…
When everyone's eyes were on the upcoming Spring Festival in Longguo, a meeting involving 19 BRICS countries and ASEAN countries was quietly held in the Parliament House in Singapore.
The initiator of this meeting was none other than the now highly watched Longguo.
Some small countries in ASEAN originally thought of not participating, or wanted to postpone the date, because they learned that the meeting date was too urgent, less than 48 hours, and there was no time to prepare.
You should know that such national-level meetings are usually scheduled half a month or even several months in advance. It is impossible to make full preparations in just a few days.
However, when they learned that the topic of this meeting was "Global Power System Construction and Power Supply Pricing", Southeast Asian countries and BRICS countries chose to attend the meeting as scheduled.
At this time, the media reporters in the Capitol were already in place.
Because it was not yet time for the meeting, they were all chatting in groups of three or two.
"If I remember correctly, Longguo just held an electricity meeting not long ago and raised the price by an average of 0.1 yuan per kWh. Now they are holding another meeting. Do they want to raise the price again?"
"You know what, it's really possible. After all, Longguo's currency is rising sharply now, and their electricity supply is linked to Longguo's currency. Maybe the price will rise accordingly."
"No, Longguo's currency is rising, and electricity prices should fall. If the price is raised again, who will use Longguo's electricity?"
"You are right, the price should fall."
"I heard that the United States has invested tens of billions and is also building ultra-high voltage and long-distance power transmission technology. It is possible that Longguo is planning in advance to cope with the impact."
"It is possible."
Media reporters from various countries are discussing privately. They were invited here, indicating that the content of the meeting is to be made public.
Just when the reporters were discussing and trying to discuss the reason in advance, someone seemed to have seen a ghost and kept repeating "Oh my god".
The abnormality of the reporter in the same team attracted the attention of other reporters, and the others looked sideways and followed his line of sight.
"Fuck!"
"Ward???"
"This...this...is this Chen Xing?"
"Why is Chen Xing here?"
At the entrance of the hall at this time, Chen Xing was wearing a formal suit, walking calmly, with sharp eyes looking forward, and the certificate on his chest explained his current identity.
On his left and right sides, there was a man and a woman. The reporters present vaguely remembered that the last time Longguo discussed the price of electricity supply, this man and woman were Wang Shan's accompanying secretaries.
The three walked in with great momentum.
The reporter who reacted first hurriedly returned to his position, picked up the camera used for eating, and pressed the shutter as fast as crazy.
"Ka Ka Ka——"
For a while, the flashes kept flashing.
Photographers from various countries were not idle either. They hurriedly adjusted the direction of the lens and transmitted the pictures taken on the scene back to their headquarters.
Because the meeting was held in Singapore, the Singapore National Channel was broadcasting the whole process live at this time, and countless Chinese people also widened their eyes.
"Chen Xing! This is Chen Xing!"
"Hasn't he been taken away for investigation? There has been no news for a month or two. How come he suddenly appears here?"
"Fuck, it's really Mr. Chen!!!"
"The national emblem is on his chest. No, Mr. Chen, have you handed it over to the country?"
"I said that there must be something behind Longxing Group. Maybe Chen Xing is a puppet who was pushed out. Now his identity has been exposed!"
"If you don't understand, ask. I just passed the civil service exam. Can I make progress by buying Mr. Chen's electronic products? I want to make progress so much!"
Those who know about Singapore know that 70% of the people here are Chinese. It is one of the only two countries with the highest proportion of Chinese and dominated by Chinese.
If you don't know English and want to travel abroad, Singapore is definitely the first choice.
In the live broadcast room of TikTok Singapore National Taiwan account, countless netizens frantically output barrages, and the entry of Chen Xing's latest news also appeared on Singapore's hot search at the first time.
Facing the reporter's surprise, Chen Xing acted very calmly.
He came to his seat, nodded to the two people on the left and right, and sat in the middle.
The man standing to the left of Chen Xing was named Wenxing. He put the black plastic bag in his right hand on the side of the table and did not open it in a hurry.
The woman on the right is named Muxue. She also did not sit down in a hurry. Instead, she took out the documents, notebooks, and pens in her briefcase.
After the two of them finished doing all this, they took their seats one by one and waited for other representatives to enter.
"Representative Manha, please."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Representative Li, please go first. After all, you are the host, and we have to use your venue in Singapore!"
"What kind of host? Dragon Kingdom is the host. They initiated this meeting."
"Stop talking about this, you two, let's talk later inside."
"That's right!"
A group of men and women in suits and ties, with smiles on their faces, who looked like old friends, but were actually scheming, walked into the parliament hall.
Since the parliament hall was very empty, everyone naturally focused their attention on Chen Xing and the three people who had already entered the room.
At first, the representatives didn't notice anything unusual, thinking that the Dragon Kingdom delegation just came in early.
But the closer he got, the clearer Chen Xing's face became. When he saw clearly that it was Chen Xing, someone stopped immediately.
"It's Brother Chen Xing!"
Irvin Ashton, the Bati representative, had his eyes shining brightly and quickly quickened his pace.
Although the two of them have never been in contact, since Chen Xing took the lead in developing the electronics market of Pakistan Railways and boosting local employment, the economy of Pakistan Railways has soared.
Perhaps Chen Xing would not have thought that one of his business investments would directly leverage the trillion-dollar economic market of Pakistan Railways, and even make Pakistan Railways' economy surpass Malaysia and become one of the top ten among the neighboring countries of the Dragon Kingdom.
In order to thank Chen Xing for his investment, Ba Tie mentioned Chen Xing in the latest version of university textbooks, and also planned to write this matter into Ba Tie's national history.
Although Chen Xing didn't know Irwin Ashton, seeing the participation card on his chest and the national flag on it made him instantly recognize the other person's identity and understand his position.
"Hello."
Chen Xing stood up and shook hands with him.
The moment they held hands, Irwin Ashton looked a little excited and said: "I heard that you were taken away for investigation. Minister Boald and General Assef Fattah were very worried about you. Now that they see that you are safe, I say hello to you on their behalf.”
"Thank you for your concern and say hello to them for me." Chen Xing said with a calm smile.
He still had memories of Minister Boald and General Assef Fattah. Both of them were high-level officials who went to Pakistan Railway to get to know each other.
It is precisely because of these two people that he can successfully take root in the Pakistani railway market and earn tens of billions in profits every year.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Mick Valentine, the conference representative of Mao Xiong."
"Hello."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"I am Borna Hernandez, the representative of Brazil. I have long heard that Chen Xing is handsome and has outstanding abilities. I saw it today and it is indeed the case. I am very happy to meet you."
"Thanks, me too."
"I am the representative of Ancient Xiang Kingdom..."
After coming back to his senses, one by one, the representatives of the national conference took turns to express their goodwill to Chen Xing. This was not only because Chen Xing represented Long Guo in the conference, but also because of his other identity, that is, the CEO of Longxing Group.
Longxing Group is currently a globally recognized leader in technology companies. If it can be allowed to settle in its own country, it will be a piece of cake to create local employment.
The most critical thing is that the current global 5G network communication technology is provided by Longxing Group and Kunpeng Company.
Chen Xing also reached an agreement with Ren Guofei, and Kunpeng Company will fully operate it, while Longxing Group will only participate in the sharing, with a 50-50 ratio.
"Everyone, sit down and let's talk business first."
After taking turns shaking hands, Chen Xing naturally assumed the role of host and called other representatives to sit down for discussion.
The representatives did not hesitate, quickly found their seats, sat down, and put on their real-time translation headsets.
After everyone was seated, Chen Xing spoke again: "Everyone must be curious as to why this meeting was suddenly held, and why the negotiator of the Dragon Kingdom is me."
After pausing for a second, he revealed the answer: "This is because the weather is cold and Chief Wang Shan is not physically fit to travel long distances, so I will hold this meeting on my behalf."
"I represent both Longxing Group and Longguo State Grid Group."
In a few sentences, Chen Xing briefly described his identity.
Representing both Longxing Group and State Grid Group, the representatives present smelled something unusual.
Before they could speak, Chen Xing continued: "Everyone here must know that the topic of this meeting is "Global Power System Construction and Power Supply Pricing," and I will start from there."
"In today's 21st century, any industrial production is inseparable from electricity. The current primary goal of our BRICS alliance and ASEAN countries is economic development, so how to solve the problem of electricity has become the primary issue."
Speaking of this, Chen Xing changed the subject and said: "As we all know, Longguo's local power generation ranks first in the world, and photovoltaic power generation alone can meet the basic domestic electricity demand."
"In order to achieve a productivity leap for the countries within the alliance, Longguo has decided to continue to increase investment in the construction of photovoltaic, hydropower, wind power and thermal power, and Longxing Group and State Grid Group will provide the BRICS and ASEAN countries with the comprehensive construction of the alliance's power system ”
The moment these words fell, the parliament hall was as silent as death.
Does Dragon State supply power to BRICS and ASEAN?
Is this burning yourself and illuminating others?
Even if the Dragon Kingdom has a vast territory and rich resources, and its power generation capacity ranks first in the world, it can't afford to supply power to dozens of countries, right?
“If Dragon Country takes over the power supply, what will our local power companies do?”
Some representatives raised questions.
The speaker was Mick Valentine, the representative of the Furry Bear. The Furry Bear itself was a resource-rich country and there was no need for the Dragon Kingdom to provide power.
"We only supply power to countries in need and build nationwide ultra-high-voltage power transmission lines for them at low prices."
Chen Xing replied.
As soon as these words came out, Carter Evans, the representative of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, his eyes lit up and he asked: "What is the price of power supply..."
The ancient Xiang Kingdom is a country with serious power shortages, and domestic electricity theft is very serious.
It’s not that they haven’t thought about solving it, but both photovoltaic and wind power generation have encountered obstacles, especially photovoltaic power generation.
You just set up the photovoltaic power plant. It doesn't take a week, but only a few days for it to be stolen and then sold to a scrap factory.
"The BRICS alliance is an emerging economic alliance. We not only want to catch up with the EU, but we also want to collectively join the ranks of developed countries."
Chen Xing did not answer in a hurry. After mentioning the BRICS alliance, he quoted: "For the power supply system that has been completed, we have decided to lower the power supply price from 0.43 yuan per kilowatt hour to 0.32 yuan."
"!!!"
"!!!"
The delegates in the conference hall were suddenly startled.
Especially Carter Evans, the representative of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, stood up directly and said: "Are you sure it is 0.32 yuan per kilowatt hour?"
"Yes."
Chen Xing nodded to confirm.
Exclamations came from the parliament hall again. They thought that Long Guo was here to take advantage, but they didn't expect that they were here to "contribute".
The price is reduced from 0.43 yuan to 0.32 yuan, which is a direct discount of 0.11 yuan!
Don’t underestimate the figure of 0.11 yuan. If we calculate based on the average monthly electricity consumption of 60 kilowatt-hours per month for ordinary households in Longguo, we can save 6.6 yuan a month, which is 66,000 yuan for 10,000 households.
In a country with more than 10,000 households, the electricity cost saved in a year is undoubtedly an astronomical amount.
Chen Xing looked at the ecstatic and flushed faces of the national representatives, and an imperceptible arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth.
0.32 yuan per kilowatt-hour, do you think you made money?
Strictly speaking, it was indeed a profit, but Dragon Kingdom would not lose money either!
Because the 72-hour verification period has long passed, the "Longzhu Nuclear Fusion Project" was confirmed to be controllable nuclear fusion under the witness of Chen Xing, Wang Shan, Qin Long and others!
energy?
Sorry, Dragon Kingdom has achieved freedom!
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Dragon Kingdom has so much electricity that it cannot be used up.
Seeing this, Wang Shan made a prompt decision and asked Chen Xing, the "bargaining king", to attend the power meeting to lower the supply price.
After all, Chen Xing's style has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Whether it is mobile phones, cars or real estate, as long as Longxing Group is in the industry, there is no price reduction.
Some people here may be wondering, whichever industry they enter, they will collectively lower their prices. Isn’t this an abuse of market dominance and a wanton price monopoly?
Don’t tell me, it’s really not the case!
The reason why industry friends collectively lowered prices was not because Longxing Group lowered prices, but because Longxing Group's technology was too far ahead!
This is similar to the fact that you are a small business owner of a breakfast shop. Suddenly one day Longxing Group enters the catering business and opens a breakfast chain next to you. Not only are the portions large and filling, but the taste is also outstanding. What can you do at this time?
There is no doubt that it can only be a price reduction!
This is why Longxing Group’s friends involved in the industry will collapse. You really can’t do anything about it!
For Chen Xing to announce his entry into the electric power field, he could just use Longxing Group's reputation as the "Industry Bargaining King" to sell electricity first. After all, Longguo now has unlimited electricity.
Of course, there is another important reason for Chen Xing to attend the meeting, and that is to eliminate the negative influence of Longxing Group, because the Western public opinion war has been crushed, and all the 10 trillion social security funds have entered the market. Now it is Longguo's turn to start a new round attack round.
