Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

"I plan to relocate the entire research base and military industrial enterprises to western Xinjiang. What do you think?"

Su Chen spoke very softly, but to the professors it sounded like a thunderclap!
"Western Xinjiang?"

Professor Wu and the others exchanged glances. It was the easygoing old man Chen who spoke first, taking over the conversation and replying, "Young Su, why would you suddenly have such a thought? We're doing just fine here, aren't we? The Western Frontier is not only sparsely populated, but its development is also far behind the inland areas!"

Professor Wu, a veteran member of the organization, also spoke up to advise, "Yes, Xiao Su, if the entire park is to be relocated to Xijiang, it will take at least a year and a half just in terms of time alone. Not to mention the various resources needed for the park, if it is relocated, it would be equivalent to rebuilding the Zhengdao Park in Xijiang!"

After a pause, Professor Wu said in a heavy tone, "This is undoubtedly hindering the development of the park!"

Even Li Qiwen and Wen Zhanpeng, who were standing to the side, frowned slightly. Although they had only recently joined the park, they still had a good understanding of it. On the issue of relocation, the two of them still leaned towards the views of Old Man Chen and Professor Wu.

The location of Zhengdao Industrial Park has a unique advantage, with excellent transportation access, including airports, ports, railways, and highways, which fully meet the development needs of Zhengdao Industrial Park.

The ability to transport all kinds of resources needed by the park from all over the country and even the world to Zhengdao in a short period of time greatly reduces transportation time.

However, if they were to relocate to western Xinjiang, regardless of the infrastructure, the transportation time and cost would increase significantly. Resources that would normally take only one day to reach might take two or three days, or even longer, in western Xinjiang.

In addition, being located in the northwest, the researchers and technicians in the park may not be willing to leave their homes and travel thousands of kilometers to develop in western Xinjiang.

If the company continues to grow and expand, attracting talent will become a major challenge. Just imagine, would those master's and doctoral graduates from top universities like 985 and 211 be willing to go to work in such a remote place as western Xinjiang?
Even though the development of western Xinjiang is much better than before, in the eyes of many people, it is still a world of yellow sand. Going there is just asking for trouble.
After a moment of silence, Li Qiwen poured out all his concerns.

Wen Zhanpeng occasionally chimed in with his opinion, but he wasn't very optimistic about the relocation to western Xinjiang.

For a moment, the office fell into a brief silence. Everyone watched Su Chen quietly, waiting for his reply or explanation.

Seeing this, a trace of worry flashed in Professor Wu's eyes. He was probably the one who knew Su Chen best among the people present. He also knew that Su Chen was the kind of person who never fought a battle he wasn't sure of winning and who planned five steps ahead for every one step he took. But this time, he really couldn't figure him out.

Su Chen looked at the gazes cast by Professor Wu and the other three, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He was quite satisfied with their reaction; at least these people were thinking from the perspective of the future of the park.

“I know what you all say makes sense, but this relocation is not something that can be done in a day or two. Besides… I only plan to move the research base and military industrial enterprises there, and leave the rest in the Zhengdao Park.”

"The relocation of these two large projects will free up a lot of space to expand related production scale!"

"Moreover..." Su Chen's gaze swept over everyone again, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing, "Who told you that the Western Frontier is static? Perhaps before long, it will become a center of development again!"

"Although Western Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, it boasts the largest airport in the country, is traversed by several important railway lines, and borders multiple countries. Do you still think it lacks resources?"

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, Professor Wu and the others immediately realized that their boss had received confidential information. If the higher-ups really wanted to vigorously develop Western Xinjiang, relocating there might actually be a good option.

The impatient old man Chen immediately asked, "Young Su, did you receive news from above that the Western Frontier will be one of the key areas for development in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen did not immediately respond to Old Man Chen's words. Instead, he picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "Regardless of whether Western Xinjiang will become the future development center, for everyone's safety, I will move the research base and military industrial enterprises away from Zheng Island!"

"Hmm? For our safety?"

Professor Wu, Li Qiwen, and the others all showed a look of astonishment, as if they did not quite understand Su Chen's words. Only Old Man Chen crossed his arms and pretended to be thinking seriously.

A sudden inspiration struck Old Chen, and he excitedly asked, "Young Su, are you talking about the Baidi Project and the future military industrial enterprises?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Chen's eyes. He hadn't expected Old Man Chen to have figured out the key point so quickly.

He smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, Professor Chen, it's exactly what you're talking about." His gaze then fell on the other three professors, and his tone became serious: "Have you all considered what this epoch-making product—the White Emperor—will bring us once it is born?"

"Excitement? Or shock? No... it's that we've all been exposed to the world's spotlight. If that's the case, you all know what challenges you'll face in the future."

"Moreover, the Zhengdao Park itself contains countless secrets. If these secrets were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Su Chen's voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet office. He stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the brightly lit park, feeling a pang of melancholy.

The emergence of the White Emperor will undoubtedly shake the world. Not only will various countries, conglomerates, and world-class military enterprises be interested in them, but they may also attract more direct threats.

Su Chen turned around and looked at everyone with a serious expression: "The Zheng Island area is located on the coast and has convenient transportation, which means it will receive more attention and the potential threats will increase accordingly. Some people might even do something extreme."

"After all, there are plenty of people who I can't have, and others don't want either!"

“So…” Su Chen paused, his voice becoming even more resolute, “the relocation is of utmost urgency; it’s the best choice for the future development of the Zhengdao Industrial Park!”

Professor Wu nodded with a slight sense of shame, "Young Su, you're so thoughtful. We were all just thinking about the development of our own projects and forgot about external factors!"

"If the White Emperor is truly as advanced as the data suggests, then it will inevitably alter the existing strategic balance!"

"The western border region is vast and sparsely populated, with great strategic depth and a well-developed defense system. We can take this opportunity to build a more comprehensive research base and headquarters for military enterprises in the western border region, especially in the military industry. Things like wind tunnels and airport runways can be built in one go! Even satellites can be included in the scope."

"It can also, to some extent, prevent those with ulterior motives from spying on us."

Professor Wu became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could see the future "Zhengdao Industrial Park" as a behemoth in western Xinjiang.

Li Qiwen and Wen Zhanpeng, who were standing to the side, were also very excited, and their hands, which were on their laps, were tightly clasped together.

If what their boss and Professor Wu said is true, then the scale of the military industry will definitely exceed their imagination, and as veterans in the military industry, the two of them will surely have a bright future.

Just as Professor Wu and his two companions were still engrossed in their vision of the future, Old Chen poured cold water on their enthusiasm: "Old Wu, have you ever thought about how long it will take to build an industrial park from scratch? Two months? Half a year? Or one or two years?" "You have to take things one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time. If you take too big a step, you might end up tearing your balls!"

Upon hearing this, Professor Wu and the others, who were initially excited, instantly froze on their faces. They were only thinking about the future. The current research base and military industrial enterprise in western Xinjiang did not even have a piece of land of their own, let alone a future industrial park.

The group immediately turned their attention to Su Chen. Since their boss had proposed this idea, there must be a corresponding solution.

Su Chen watched the professors' expressions shift from excitement to confusion and couldn't help but chuckle. It was rare to see these usually serious top professors with such expressions on their faces.

"Professor Chen is right, we have to take things one step at a time." Su Chen walked back to the sofa area, sat back down in his original seat, and said seriously, "To be honest, the idea of ​​relocating was just a spur-of-the-moment decision today. The most important thing now is to choose a new location!"

"As for the construction speed you're concerned about, I already have a plan, so you can rest assured!" Su Chen said with a faint smile, his tone indifferent. "You should know that things that can be solved with money aren't really problems, and what I have in abundance is money!"

"Uh..." The professors were speechless for a moment.

Although Su Chen's words sounded a bit pretentious, he had the confidence to say them. Putting aside everything else, just the Zhengdao Industrial Park alone currently has nearly 2 billion yuan sitting in its accounts, not including the research funds in the accounts of various projects in the park.

Not to mention... behind the Zhengdao Industrial Park stands a behemoth - the Yunmengze Group. If they want to quickly build a brand-new technology park, they can build a large technology park in a month as long as they are willing to spend money.

"Ahem~" Professor Wu coughed awkwardly twice, then said seriously, "Let's talk about the site selection. I think we should immediately assemble a professional team to go to the western frontier and try to select the location for the future industrial park and the headquarters of the military enterprises in the shortest possible time, so as not to delay the subsequent development plan!"

“I’m afraid it’s a bit risky for the park’s staff to handle this alone!” Old Chen interjected, then looked at Su Chen, who was leaning back on the sofa, and continued, “Young Su, I suggest that you have Yunmengze Group select a group of professionals to form a professional inspection team with our park’s staff.”

"At the same time, leverage your connections and try to open a green channel in western Xinjiang to speed up information gathering, since the locals know more about the situation than we do!"

Su Chen nodded upon hearing this and tapped the table lightly with his right hand: "Okay, I'll make the calls about Yunmengze and Xijiang. Professor Wu, you should select the personnel for the park as soon as possible, and they should depart by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

Professor Wu and the others knew that time was tight and the task was heavy. After asking Su Chen if he had anything else to do, they got up and left the office. They still needed to discuss how to send personnel from the park to choose the most suitable location in the most efficient way.

As the group of four reached the door, Li Qiwen suddenly remembered something and stopped immediately. Wen Zhanpeng, who was behind him, didn't notice and bumped into him.

"Old Li, what are you thinking about? Why are you standing there?" Wen Zhanpeng adjusted his glasses, which had been knocked askantly.

Upon hearing Wen Zhanpeng's question, Professor Wu and Old Man Chen, who had already left, turned back, and even Su Chen, who had just stood up, turned his gaze to Li Qiwen at the door.

Seeing the hesitant look on Li Qiwen's face, I knew he had something to say, so I immediately asked, "Engineer Li, is there something you want to say?"

Li Qiwen hesitated for a moment before nodding and replying, "It's about the Baidi project. Didn't you just say that the emergence of Baidi would bring a lot of trouble? I just wanted to ask if the assembly and testing is still underway?"

"Let's do it! Of course we'll do it!" Su Chen replied without hesitation. He immediately realized that Li Qiwen was worried about causing trouble for the park.

"Don't worry, the Baidi project will still proceed as planned. Just make sure to take the necessary confidentiality measures during the testing."

"As long as we don't officially announce it to the public, even if someone takes photos of it from the air, we can just blame it on Shenyang Aircraft Corporation!"

Upon hearing this, Professor Wu and the others twitched their lips slightly. It was truly a case of "you take the blame, I'll do the work!"
"I'm relieved to hear your words, boss!" Since Su Chen had said so, Li Qiwen had no more concerns. He didn't want these things to affect the birth of the White Emperor!

After saying that, he pulled Wen Zhanpeng out of the office. Now that the relocation plan was finalized, they needed to race against time to get Baidi officially into production line by the time of the relocation!
After the experts left, Chen Fei, who had been standing at the door, came in and asked softly, "Sir, it's getting late. Would you like to go back to your room to rest, or would you like some late-night snacks to be sent up from the canteen?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen checked the time and was surprised to find that it was already eleven o'clock.

She gently pinched the bridge of her nose. "No need for a midnight snack, I'm not very hungry. Call Pei Rang and tell him I need to talk to him."

Chen Fei immediately took out his phone and, without caring whether Pei Rang was asleep or not, made the call.

The call was quickly connected, and after a brief explanation, Chen Fei handed the phone to Su Chen.

"Old Pei, did I disturb your rest?" Su Chen answered the phone, his tone slightly teasing.

Pei Rang's clear and sleep-free voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, you're joking. I'm just looking at the bi-weekly report submitted by the group. Do you have any instructions?"

"Yes, it is indeed important!" Su Chen suppressed his smile and explained the plan to relocate the research base and military enterprises of the Zhengdao Park to the western border, as well as the general direction he had just discussed with several professors.

"...Therefore, I need you to assemble a professional inspection team, whose members should include experts in geology, climate, infrastructure, logistics, and even information. They need to fly to Xinjiang and report to the people in the industrial park by tomorrow afternoon."

"However, it is important to keep information about research bases and military enterprises confidential. Do not inquire about them casually. Relevant confidentiality agreements should also be signed. If possible, send a small team of professional security personnel!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, clearly Pei Rang was processing this sudden and important decision.

But he quickly responded: "Understood, boss. There's no problem with team building. The group has a talent pool. It's just that I suggest that the security arrangements be made by the Zhengdao Industrial Park, since they are more professional!"

“Okay! We must select the best location in the shortest possible time. Also…” Su Chen thought for a moment and then told Pei Rang about the upcoming boom in Western Xinjiang, asking him to quietly start planning other industries.

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen handed the phone back to Chen Fei, walked to the French windows, stretched, and did some light exercise.

Gazing at the vibrant park in the night, my gaze seemed to travel across mountains and rivers, finally landing on that vast and boundless land.

Western Xinjiang will be the place where military industrial enterprises will take off in the future!

It seems... I should give the military-industrial enterprise a catchy name. (End of Chapter)
