Chapter 651: Various Parties Arrive at Xuan
Chang Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and joy, happiness had arrived a bit too suddenly after hearing the words of the delegation from East Chao Country.
With the capability and strength of the Xinghai Association, they had every opportunity to control the economy of East Chao Country and earn substantial profits.
East Chao Country had always been sanctioned by the Federation, and its domestic economy was severely restricted.
They had no options other than relying on Beiluo Country and Xuan Country, especially now with Beiluo Country and the Federation battling fiercely over the regions of Eastern and Western Continent, their resources were limited. Most importantly, Beiluo Country's economic scale was nowhere near that of Xuan Country.
If they wanted their own economy to recover, they could only attract investment, inviting businessmen from Xuan Country to develop in their country.
This would greatly promote their domestic tax revenue and economic prosperity, improving the standard of living for their people.
As more factories were established, many workers would be recruited. These workers would earn wages and then spend within their own country, creating a healthy economic cycle.
Of course, there was also a downside, which was the monopolization of many industries by Qin Hao's Xinghai Association.
There were pros and cons to this matter, but in the eyes of East Chao Country, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
They had a small land area and population, and their technology was backward; no matter how they developed, they could never become as powerful as Xuan Country or the Federation.
Due to their own factors, it was impossible for them to become a global military powerhouse.
They were well aware of this fact, but to avoid being bullied in the future, they chose to rely on Xuan Country.
The Federation was very powerful now, but being mortal enemies, East Chao Country could not rely on them.
Although Beiluo Country's military might could contend with that of the Federation, their economy was poor, whereas Xuan Country held great potential. Currently, Xuan Country's economic scale was second only to the Federation, and it had continuously made breakthroughs in military technology.
The once dormant Eastern giant dragon was gradually awakening. After much deliberation, East Chao Country made the current decision.
Qin Hao discussed some specific details with them, while Chang Jing and her secretary made records.
Both parties had an in-depth exchange on cooperation across various industries, the results of which greatly pleased Qin Hao. East Chao Country was very open, and from this, Qin Hao discerned the intentions of the higher echelons of Xuan Country.
East Chao Country must have reached some cooperative agreement with the higher echelons of Xuan Country; otherwise, they would not have opened up to such a degree.
East Chao Country was rich in underground resources, with large reserves of various rare metals, and they also possessed the largest iron mine in the Eastern Continent.
This was what Qin Hao valued the most; he would need a lot of iron ore and rare metals in the future.
Qin Hao discussed solar panels, Star Domain Network communications, as well as processed food, clothing, liquor, and pharmaceuticals with them.
There were still many industry details to be finalized, and tomorrow Qin Hao would gather people from the Xinghai Association to discuss with their delegation, which could take several days to conclude.
After all, many interests were involved and needed to be discussed specifically.
Later, Qin Hao had Chang Jing arrange accommodation for the delegation from East Chao Country. They had lunch together at noon; Qin Hao originally did not want to join as he disliked such social occasions.
However, for the sake of cooperation, it was not good to deny them face.
When he left the hotel at noon, Qin Hao called Li Qingya, "Qing Ya, notify all members of the Xinghai Association that are interested in developing in East Chao Country to come to Jianghai City and discuss with the delegation from East Chao Country."
Li Qingya was momentarily stunned, her tone somewhat excited, "Mr. Qin, do you mean East Chao Country has fully opened up to us?"
Qin Hao, "Exactly, currently only to companies from Xuan Country. This is an opportunity."
Li Qingya, "Okay, Mr. Qin, I'll notify them right away."
As soon as he hung up with Li Qingya, Qin Hao received a call from Silin Ross, "Mr. Qin, what are you busy with?"
Qin Hao said smiling, "What else can I be busy with? I'm purchasing items, preparing for the development and construction of Pu'er Island."
Silin giggled, "Mr. Qin, I heard your company's Star Domain Network has now opened up to the public?"
Qin Hao, "Yes, two days ago a delegation from East Luo Country approached me. Miss Silin, would your Ross family like to represent the Federation region for the Star Domain Network?"
Silin, "Of course I'd be happy to, but I also have a matter I need to discuss with Mr. Qin. I'll be taking an early flight to Xuan Country this morning to discuss the details with you, Mr. Qin."
It should be in the early hours of the morning now in the Federation, and yet Silin hadn't gone to sleep.
Qin Hao, "Alright, when you arrive, just let me know, and I'll come to pick you up."
Silin said laughingly, "Mr. Qin, I'm also bringing a few friends, all coming to bring you money."
"What friends?"
Silin, "Some communication industry giants from Siluo Country will also accompany me. They are coming for the agency issues of Star Domain Network, all bringing you money."
Qin Hao's face lit up with a smile, "Is that so? That's great, I'm indeed in need of money right now."
In the past two days, Chang Jing spent nearly a hundred billion buying all sorts of equipment and materials for the development and construction of Pu'er Island, including large-scale heavy machinery, mountain excavation equipment, solar power equipment, and various road construction materials, diesel, and so on.
After chatting with Silin, Qin Hao's phone rang again; this time it was a call from Anna Insher, whose commercial instincts from her consortium were extremely sharp.
Her goal was similar to Silin's, mainly to manage the Star Domain Network.
However, Qin Hao felt that they had other motives, not solely for Star Domain Network.
In the afternoon, envoys from Teleonas Country also arrived in Jianghai City to meet Qin Hao; they came to buy the rights to the Star Domain Network.
Qin Hao offered them the same price as Beiluo Country, which was nine billion Federation dollars, and they gladly accepted this price.
After all, this was Xuan Country's subordinate, and the pricing was quite fair. The population of Teleonas Country was even larger than Beiluo Country, reaching over two hundred million, and their economy was also rapidly developing.
By controlling the network, Teleonas Country would be able to dominate the entire national industry of networking.
After seeing off the delegation from Teleonas Country in the afternoon, Qin Hao was busy in his office. He entered an advanced intelligence management program into the motherboard of the 002 robot via the network, raising its intelligence level to that of the 001 model.
These intelligent robots going to Pu'er Island required a high-level robot for leadership and management.
Qin Hao then spent thirteen million achievement points in the system market to exchange for a design blueprint of an intelligent seaport that could be used both at sea and in the air.
This was a futuristic high-tech port that could even accommodate F-class series of interstellar battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers, and so on.
He transmitted the port's design blueprint to 002, which would arrange the division of labor once it arrived at Pu'er Island.
After finishing these tasks, Qin Hao glanced at his watch and stood up, planning to go home when his phone suddenly rang; it was a call from Xiao Hao, "Are you free tonight, Xiao Hao? How about coming out for dinner?"
