Chapter 43 Business Cooperation, City of the Future

Many people didn't pay much attention to the establishment of Xingchen Group, assuming it was just an ordinary private company.

However, after the launch of Xingchen Group's first product, its scientific research capabilities also came into the view of some people.

Over time, the various technologies demonstrated by Xingchen Group have led to a rapid rise in its international standing.

So far, Xingchen Group has not attracted much attention. After all, in terms of the business world, although Xingchen Group is powerful, it cannot be considered a competitor to the five major countries.

However, this lizardman attack not only caught both the University of Tokyo and the United States off guard, but the strength displayed by the Star Group also made both sides take it very seriously.

Inside the Xingchen Group headquarters, Liang Guodong, the head of the Dongda Business Department, and Fang Heng walked ahead, chatting and laughing with each other, while their entourage behind them also looked relaxed.

Both parties were very satisfied with the discussions just now. Even though the current global situation is severe, business cooperation has not stopped.

After all, commercial cooperation is not limited to the civilian sector; it can also be conducted in the military sector.

"Mr. Fang, then let's stick to what we agreed on and formally sign the relevant treaty a week from now."

"Okay, Minister Liang, thank you very much for coming. It's lunchtime now, would you like to try our cafeteria?"

"Oh? It seems there's more to Mr. Fang's cafeteria than meets the eye?"

"Haha, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."

Soon, led by Fang Heng, the group arrived at the cafeteria in the middle of the Xingchen Group building.

Because of the hospitality arrangements, the group did not eat in the main hall but instead went to a private room.

As all the dishes were served, Liang Guodong looked at Fang Heng, admiring the exquisite presentation.

"Minister Liang, the vegetables and meats in these dishes are all newly cultivated varieties, and their effects are much stronger than the drinks we sell."

For example, this plate of beef provides five times the energy of traditional beef, and the milk in front of you is from a new breed of cow, with twice the nutritional value of traditional milk. It's also easily absorbed by the body, promoting development in adolescents, improving physical fitness, and even mild brain development. You've seen the relevant data; you can learn more after trying it yourself.

Listening to Fang Heng's introduction, the people from Southeast University present all became envious.

Speaking of this business cooperation, the most important thing is not the military cooperation, but this seemingly insignificant civilian cooperation, such as the introduction of new breeds of livestock.

However, even if these livestock, whether dairy products or meat, have the effect of strengthening the human body, it is difficult to see the effects quickly, so this is only an additional condition for cooperation.

However, after everyone tasted them, they gained a new understanding of these new breeds of livestock, and their level of attention to them increased even further.

This collaboration with Xingchen Group mainly involves technology cooperation in the energy sector. Fang Heng will sell the technology of metal hydrogen batteries, while Dongda University will allow Fang Heng to recruit students from various universities.

From this perspective, it seems that Fang Heng is at a disadvantage, but in the long run, Fang Heng definitely benefits.

For the University of Tokyo, this is a win-win collaboration. On the one hand, the university has obtained much-needed high-capacity battery technology, and on the other hand, it can alleviate some of the social pressure.

In today's world of heightened vigilance, even though order is good at Dongda University, social wealth has stagnated and many new conflicts have erupted. Now, with Xingchen Group, more people are going abroad, which can create new jobs in China and revitalize the economy.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, not only because of the amazing effects of the dishes, but also because they were impressed by the living conditions here. They realized that the Chinese people working here don't need to worry about not eating well.

Food is of paramount importance to the people, and in the hearts of Dongda University students, eating well is extremely important.

Soon, a week had passed. After carefully examining the details of the area where Xingchen Group was located, the final decision was made. Both parties decided to hold a signing ceremony and a press conference three days later.

The situation here was quickly learned by the United States. Although they did not know the specific details of the cooperation, in order not to fall behind the University of Tokyo, the United States also contacted the Star Group to discuss cooperation.

Unfortunately, following Fang Heng's instructions, Xingchen Group rejected the United States' request for cooperation.

The president was furious in the Black House and threatened to teach the Star Group a lesson.

Upon hearing this rumor, Fang Heng simply smiled and remained silent.

Soon, three days had passed. Inside the auditorium, Fang Heng and Liang Guodong signed their names amidst the flashing lights of numerous reporters.

When the news reached China, it caused quite a stir.

Especially at the university where Jiang Feng previously worked, many students were very curious about the Star Group because they knew that Jiang Feng had joined the Star Group, and they felt that there must be something extraordinary about the Star Group.

After all, Jiang Feng's strength in the field of biology is widely recognized.

In addition to this cooperation, Fang Heng has also reached a cooperation agreement with Southeast University on some effective drugs for terminal illnesses.

In fact, given Fang Heng's current pace of development, there is no need to establish cooperation with Dongda University. However, when Dongda University approached him, his thoughts changed somewhat.

His idea was simple: to strengthen the power of Earth.

He didn't know what kind of strength the civilization behind the lizardmen would possess when they arrived on Earth, but it would always be good to strengthen it in advance.

As for aiding the enemy, the technology he provided was obtained from Skynet in the Terminator world. Compared to the technology on the Punisher, it was very outdated. It's not unreasonable to use it to exchange for some favorable conditions.

For example, having the opportunity to recruit at various universities is a very good privilege.

Although Ethan has a screening mechanism that can find true geniuses, searching for a needle in a haystack is obviously not as fast as screening within the university.

According to the educational system of Dongda University, Fang Heng has already been screened once.

After all, talent is one thing, but with hard work, one can become a shining star.

Besides true geniuses, only those who work extremely hard can get into these universities.

After everything settled down, another week passed.

Over the past week, footage of the war that previously took place on the east coast of Black Africa has begun to appear online.

However, many people just watched it as a movie, thinking that some film company was preparing to make a new film.

However, at the national level, the University of Tokyo and the United States reacted differently after learning the details of the incident.

When Fang Heng found out, he just smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart.

Now his mind is on something else: building a city of the future.

The original city had flaws in its initial design and was poorly planned due to population growth. Therefore, Fang Heng did not intend to use the original city directly, but instead planned to rebuild a new city.

This city will become the core city of the entire continent and even the world, demonstrating the formidable strength of the Star Group.

"Ethan, how's the previous city design coming along?"

"Commander, the initial planning is complete. Would you like to take a look?"

"Hmm, let me see. Let's turn on the projector."

"Yes, sir."

As the projector turned on, Fang Heng also saw a city projection.

"Commander, the preliminary design of the City of the Future is divided into five areas, namely the central main city, which is the headquarters building of the Star Group and its affiliated research area."

On the eastern side of the city lies a bustling commercial district, and at the far easternmost point is an airport, serving as a landing point for arriving passengers.

As Ethan explained, the eastern part of the city projection lit up.

"The commercial area has also been initially divided, with the virtual experience area being the focus. The various virtual devices inside can bring people an immersive experience. There are also various technology experience areas, food courts, etc., which combine the styles of Eastern and Western commercial areas in a harmonious way."

Looking at Ethan's plan, Fang Heng nodded in approval; the commercial district's planning was also quite conventional.

"In the north of the city is the High-tech Zone, which is full of various technology companies. We will strengthen the review of company qualifications to prevent unqualified companies from being found."

"To the west of the city are ecological farms."

"An ecological farm?"

"Yes, sir. The latest seed breeding has been completed, and there will be no need to worry about food. Therefore, we are preparing to establish a series of ecological farms in the west, which will be used to produce high-end agricultural products."

"Yes, everyone is advocating for a healthy lifestyle these days, so these high-quality agricultural products will definitely be popular. Let's continue."

"Yes, Commander. On the south side of the city are major research and education bases, used for routine scientific research and talent training."

"As for residences, they are interspersed throughout the various areas. However, there are no residences in the central urban area. Furthermore, a guard team will be set up in the central urban area to serve as the visible defensive force."

Furthermore, underground, I plan to rebuild a Hive, this time a true Hive, containing numerous bio-engineering centers for the production of clones and Zerg legions.

"The robot factory isn't located here, right?"

"Yes, Commander. I've placed the robot factory in the northern suburbs, near the high-tech zone. There are many smart factories there, and a railway line connects it directly to the port, so raw materials and parts can be obtained nearby, slightly increasing the manufacturing speed."

Looking at the design, Fang Heng nodded, but he wasn't satisfied with it yet. He could start planning now, and after eliminating the lizardmen on Blue Star, he would definitely have to restore normal production and life.
