I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

On the same day that Sivan Samarkand arrived in Lucia, King Hamand of Arabia visited China for the first time after he succeeded to the throne.

Since he was officially representing Arab, Crown Prince Hamand's visiting team was shockingly luxurious. It took several days for 56 luxury VIP planes, including Boeing 787, 747 and other large passenger planes, to land in the capital.

The king's exclusive fully gold-plated luxury boarding ladder was flown to the scene first and would be used after the arrival of Hamand's special plane, which was a real eye-opener for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A group of greeters stood at the airport, looking at all the special planes belonging to Arbor's visiting team. They were so impressed that they couldn't even open their eyes.

A traveling team with more than 50 planes would cost hundreds of millions to park for just one day. I was too soft-hearted when I took Abo on board, and it would take twice as long to be worthy of Mr. Sha's status.

When Hamand got off the exclusive boarding elevator, the second person to shake hands was the top leader of the Aviation Development Commission in Beijing.

"Academician She and Lin Ju are there. There are many others. Why didn't I see them?"

"Your Excellency, the H2M space shuttle has just come off the assembly line. They are very busy now and have entrusted me to tell you that they invite you to go to Xianyuan and board the Glory."

Hamand was quite satisfied with this answer and shook hands with other greeters one by one.

Before the Aber visit fleet took off, the Makkah carried out its fourth launch mission at the Mukala Space Launch Site, sending astronauts from two countries from four countries outside the space station into space.

With the power of space in his hands, Abel is making waves in the desert, winning over believers without any problems, and his relationship with China is getting closer and closer.

Hamand had already added a number of cooperations to his itinerary before taking off, such as purchasing three C919s for Arab Airlines and becoming the first foreign user of C919.

At the same time, there are also a package of cooperation agreements in space, energy, technology, etc. It is said that His Royal Highness the King has prepared orders of up to 40 billion US dollars in various industries, and if not enough, more can be added.

Since taking over power from the old king, Hamand's diplomatic approach has been very simple: throwing money.

Place orders from any country that needs to maintain good relations, throw out dollars in large quantities as if they are free, and the favorability of the harvest will continue to increase.

The current Ministry of Foreign Affairs is no exception. Everyone is thinking about squeezing oil from the big dogs, and all major companies are hungry and thirsty.

You must know that Abel takes the lead, and the remaining three countries will inevitably follow suit. Maybe the contract signed with them this year will be worth more than 100 billion US dollars!

…

On the 12th, Aramco official news confirmed that John George gained an advantage in the 45th election and was elected as the next boss. He officially took office on January 20 of the following year.

Xiaohei expressed congratulations, and Diane...Diane also expressed congratulations.

"Haha, look at the expression on that old woman who looks like she has stepped on dog shit all day long. Only I, I can lead Ami to rise!"

"Mr. John, I have always known that you are the hero who saves Ami, let..."

Sitting in the bulletproof car, John and Pio expressed their pride wantonly, which was completely different from the cautiousness of the previous two days.

Until the official news was confirmed, John couldn't believe that he had really won the election, and he felt quite at a loss.

Because unlike Diane, who had countless winning plans, John had never thought about the specific plans after taking office, and his staff did not think about it seriously. Most of them were just talking about it.

For example, because of the space race, after visiting major aerospace companies for a few times, he suddenly expressed his desire to colonize Mars. How can a serious candidate do this?

When Kennedy said "we choose to go to the moon", the F1 engine, which has a single combustion chamber thrust of 680 tons and is still the world's largest, was already in prototype trial production, and it was only with the help of von Braun that he was confident.

John... read in detail the novel "The Martian" and the movie of the same name.

But you have to be responsible for the bullshit. These days, aerospace companies such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Rocketdyne have come to visit, and they are extremely enthusiastic.

The general meaning they brought was: Do you really mean what the boss said during the election? Is Project Ares, the God of War, really happening?

The hidden meaning is that I hope that the mission plan will be implemented quickly so that these giants can take on major projects for another 20 years after the Artemis plan. If you agree, then I will fully support it.

The hints from so many giant companies and the families behind them made John feel a little confused, but he did not dare to forget what Claire said that night.

The faction supporting John also adjusted their thinking in a timely manner and tried their best to train John so that he could be a qualified boss, so that the latter would understand more and more about the current situation and some truths.

If the God of War Ares plan is forcibly promoted, Ami probably has the technical strength, but the investment will be very terrifying. If the final victory is not achieved, the consequences of the backlash will be extremely serious.

If the space program is not increased, the military-industrial complex will be very dissatisfied, and the consequences will be equally serious.

Realizing the hidden dangers, John gave up making a choice and decided to learn more about the situation.

The car stopped, and John saw the society members who greeted him outside the institution. He could see that those people were also very excited, but he didn't know whether it was because of the arrival of the future boss or the upcoming launch of the Mars project.

…

"Many first-tier cities such as Magic City, Beijing, and Yangcheng are preparing to raise basic salary standards. Magic City will exceed 3,000 yuan for the first time, setting a historical record."

"A new round of social security standards will be implemented next year and is expected to increase by more than 25% from the original basis."

"Experts predict that my country's total GDP will reach 80 trillion yuan in 2016, an increase of 8.3% compared with last year, and the economy will continue to grow rapidly."

"The depreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar has slowed, the exchange rate has stabilized at 6.7, and exports are in good shape."

"Census Bureau: The number of births this year may exceed 20 million."

“Export trade volume increased by 17%, and China-Europe freight trains drive the Silk Road.”

“Economic experts from island countries proposed the concept of the Asian Economic Circle to create intra-Asian circulation.”

In November, various domestic statistics for the third quarter were released one after another.

Lin Ju clicked on the finance category and clearly felt the changes compared to the original world line.

2016 was originally a year of rapid development. Coupled with the stimulation of the space race, the internal and external situations were quite different, but now it seems that everything is a good thing.

The newly added ternary semiconductor technology involves at least trillions of additional funds. It is another economic flashpoint besides aerospace and has mobilized almost the entire country.

Compared with the original world-line GDP, which will probably increase by about 6%, the space race has stabilized the RMB exchange rate and has not dropped to 7, which means that the actual growth is even more.

With the influx of a large amount of hot money, the authorities will definitely increase the amount of money released, and economic development will continue to grow.

The minimum basic wage levels in major cities have also been adjusted to varying degrees. Although the basic wages are of little significance, we can still see more money pouring into the middle and lower levels.

Lin Ju finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xinyuan's development was positive, which gave him more confidence to continue stimulating the world in aerospace.
