Chapter 1: Coastal Great Wall Tenders(1/2)
Parallel world earth.
Nobel physicists published a public paper: [If countries build a "sea wall" along the coast of ten meters, like the Great Wall of China, it can effectively reduce the harassment of typhoons. On average, countries will reduce losses by trillions of dollars each year.]
After this theory was published, there was an uproar around the world. Everyone was calling the Nobel Prize winner a fool, right?
Building a wall to resist a typhoon? Isn’t that nonsense?
Immediately, some professionals began to criticize: [The height of the typhoon is above a thousand meters high. I will ask you a question: How can a sea wall ten meters high resist the wind of a thousand meters high? What you are building is not a sea wall, but a dam?]
Ninety percent of the world began to criticize and mock the Nobel physicist who proposed to build a sea wall.
However, later someone with a discerning eye saw it...
In fact, it is not because it resists typhoons. In fact, it is not because his theory is really established, right? It is just that for some reasons, countries urgently need to build the Great Wall by the Sea, so they need such a person to stand up and publish a paper to give some theoretical basis to make the public believe it?
Because soon, news from countries around the world began to be reported.
[Today, the United States decided to spend 3 trillion US dollars to build a "wind wall" on the east and west coasts, and decided to officially build it on the first day of next month.]
A global uproar.
Everyone was stunned and stupid.
Originally, the words of the Nobel physicist were viewed as jokes. But I never expected that some countries actually started doing this. And it was the United States. It was not a joke or a try. Instead, it was directly invested in the first wave of 3 trillion US dollars, 3 trillion US dollars! Are you not afraid of inflation?
In a global uproar, countless scientists from the United States stood up and published papers on the possibility that typhoon walls can resist sea breezes.
Then the scientific community began to change directions, and most experts began to analyze various theoretically to predict the reliability of the typhoon wall!
Fifty percent of people around the world believe it...
Immediately afterwards.
The island country released news: [A typhoon wall will be built around all the territory of the entire island country and surrounded the entire island country.]
The world is confused...
Immediately afterwards.
[England decided to spend 500 billion pounds to build a typhoon wall]
[South Africa spent one trillion US dollars to build a typhoon wall and called on African countries to speed up the process, and not hesitate anymore, and repair it as soon as possible.]
In one week, all countries around the world have basically begun to decide to build typhoon walls. The construction period is three years.
At this moment, everyone around the world has to believe that building a typhoon wall can really resist typhoons... right?
Otherwise, how could the Nobel physicist respond globally when he published his paper?
But a few discerning people suddenly became alert and suddenly realized.
"Maybe... the one you are not guarding for is typhoon at all, right?"
"Ten trillions of capital, tens of trillions of dollars, are they just to prevent typhoons? Even if there is a disaster in a typhoon, can this disaster be worth tens of trillions? Isn't this nonsense? Perhaps the things to be guarded against, or the intention behind it, have long exceeded the amount of funds we see."
But there is no news or information, and even the news of the wind and gossip on the Internet.
Just at this moment when everyone is paying attention, today, China released news.
[The 10 trillion yuan of funds will be spent. A total of 18,000 kilometers of inland coastline will be built along the China coastline. The "Coast Great Wall" will be built. Today, the bidding will be launched nationwide, with a limited time period of two years.]
As soon as China emerged, the world was shocked.
More than 18,000 kilometers...
The Great Coast Wall?
This is different from the name of typhoon walls in other countries.

Beijing City. Beijing City Hotel, bidding meeting site.
The chairman of all outstanding construction companies from all over the country was invited to sit down. Everyone was nervous and excited to listen to the speech of Director Qin of the Bidding Office on the podium and the blueprint for the future coastal Great Wall.
The number of people present exceeded 5,000, and all of them were excellent private construction enterprises and chairman of state-owned enterprises in the country. It can be said that the total value of the 5,000 people present could exceed 5 trillion! This is the most expensive conference in the history of Chinese architecture.
Director Qin said in a deep voice:
"Time is tight and the task is heavy. In some big countries, the longest construction period is two years, and the shortest one is also one year. But my coastline in China is long, and our task is more difficult than other countries. I won't talk about the truth behind this, and I won't talk about what will happen behind it. In short, in short, I don't want any fraud to occur in this bidding. If you can do it, don't talk about it if you can't."
"This tender, I can say, is related to life and death."
With a 'buzz--' sound, everyone in the audience whispered to each other at this moment.
Those who can enter this conference room can be said to be both rich and noble. They know a lot of news and have a wide range of channels. They have long known that this typhoon wall is nonsense, and there must be a deeper intention behind it. But no one can guess how deep it is, and it is highly confidential and confidential!
Now that Director Qin said this, everyone was even more frightened. What is life and death?
So difficult?
In the first row of the venue, a young man wearing a normal sportswear and holding a white safety helmet in his hands, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"I've long since smelled something wrong with this world...The Great Wall? They call this the Great Wall of the Coast?"
Sheng Zi used his fingernails to pick the cement dots on his helmet, and his eyes were thinking about a question without focusing:
"The meaning of the Great Wall is to prevent foreign invasions. So what is the purpose of the Great Wall on the coast? Prevent this sea?"
He couldn't figure out these problems, he just felt inexplicably that something big was coming...
Director Qin continued:
"This time the task can be completed within the specified period, and the faster the better. Then we don't ask about the means you use, even the gray means. We only have one requirement. First, military-grade quality. Second, speed, speed, or fucking speed! You can take it alone, you can also work with others, we don't care, we only have things!"
"Start now, bidding. Ten trillion yuan cost, start!"
With a buzzing sound, the entire venue entered a state of riot. All the bosses whispered, and all the bosses dialed their phones in a hurry and started making phone calls.
"Hey, Xiao Wang? Hurry up, hurry up and calculate it for me. The coastline of 18,000 kilometers is military-grade quality. It has ten meters high and the shape is like the Great Wall of my country. Estimate quickly. If we build it, how much will it cost?"
"It's the boss... the boss is like this. Preliminary calculations are not enough to take on this job."
"Why?"
"Our temple is small... First of all, the 18,000-kilometer-high-standard Great Wall, our initial calculation of the total cost is 8 trillion yuan. If we take it slowly, the construction period will be ten years, we can make a profit of more than two trillion yuan. But if it is completed within one year and is so rushed, then our cost will exceed ten trillion yuan."
hiss--
A boss sighed helplessly and hung up the phone. The company is too small and the cost is not as small as a large company. This job cannot be handled. It is not OK to work with others.
Another boss picked up the phone and scolded:
"Not calculated yet?"
"It's calculated. Boss, this job can be taken. There is an integrated cement factory behind us, and our cost can be the lowest. If we are given four years, our cost can reach 6 trillion yuan, and 4 trillion yuan is net profit."
"Don't be nonsense, I'm asking you every year! One year!"
"One year... if you lose money every year, you will lose money every year. In a year, our cost will exceed 8 trillion yuan. After roughly, if the net profit is only 2 trillion yuan, we will definitely lose money. If the investment is only 8 trillion yuan, we can't bear the risk."
"National advances."
"Advanced funding? Then we won't lose, we'll make sure to make a profit. I calculated that it was a loss because it involved the bank's interest. If it was advance, it wouldn't be a loss. The boss must take over this project!"
“…”
"Hey, Secretary Liu answered the phone!"
"Hey, Lao Zhang, hurry up and calculate it for me!"
"Mr. Xu, are you going to work together?"
"Mr. Wang, can you get involved?"
"Let's get involved with each other."
"The family can't handle this job!"
"I also think this is too difficult. You see, Yijian Department doesn't speak or speak. I guess Yijian Department will guarantee the bidding this time. If the bid is not sold in the end and no one dares to accept it, Yijian Department will guarantee the bottom line."
"Nonsense, this is a state-owned enterprise. They are definitely unwilling to get involved in bidding, but they must be the ones who are guaranteed."
"Partnering together, partnership is profitable."
"Damn it, the problem is that a project worth ten trillion yuan is still the case. I have to borrow several trillion yuan to advance the construction. This is too risky."
"I heard that the standards have been relaxed. If the review can be passed, the country will invest and then build this time. Who can provide the 10 trillion yuan capital? It must be paid first and then repaired."
"If the country provides money, then this job can be done. As long as it is done, it will definitely make a fortune!"
"Making money is a small matter, and the real big thing behind this is gilding. If you can participate in this project, then gilding for enterprises will be internationally known in the future."
“…”
The venue was extremely chaotic, with 5,000 people whispering to each other, and groups of three or five began to discuss cooperation. Some small companies gave up. But for large companies, this was an opportunity!
Sheng Zi did not move.
He did not call his company, nor did he discuss cooperation with other bosses. He just sat silently in the first row seats, staring at the white hard hat in his hand in a daze.
On the venue, Director Qin was also observing the performance of the bosses in the venue, and his eyes drifted towards Sheng Zi from time to time.
A woman next to Director Qin who never spoke also noticed it, and she said without squinting:
