Chapter 374 Canal Planning
Ji Feng and Hyoyeon had just landed in Jijiangpo. After playing for a long time, they suddenly received a call from Spark: "BOSS, I'm really sorry to disturb your trip, but this time the matter is a bit serious. UBS is going to hold a special shareholders' meeting the day after tomorrow. President Greta asks you to attend on time."
Ji Feng was slightly stunned. He had seen the recent news. It seemed that UBS wanted to expand its shares. Some of the guys on the board wanted to attack UBS. Originally, Ji Feng thought it was Greta, but he didn't expect that now, it seems that it was not him. Could it be someone else?
"Do you know who proposed this special shareholders' meeting?" Ji Feng frowned slightly. If he wanted to expand the scale of his shares, the principle was that his shares would be diluted, but Ji Feng held permanent shares, and the kind that he would not be diluted. Greta invited him so eagerly, obviously he was under a lot of pressure.
Speaking of UBS, Ji Feng was speechless. With most banks in the world making profits, he lost 11.4 billion US dollars in 2008. The statement at the beginning of this year showed that UBS once again suffered a loss of nearly 15 billion US dollars last year. Of course, this "credit" is also thanks to Ji Feng and Spark.
Although Greta and Spark are relatives, Spark's good professional ethics make it impossible for him to reveal any of his plans to the outside world. Even if Ji Feng is a shareholder of UBS, it would not work. As a result, in a oil futures battle last year, UBS followed in Wall Street and was swept away tens of billions of dollars by Ji Feng.
Coupled with their failed investments in other financial markets, especially the sudden outbreak of India's turmoil at the end of last year, it made its losses suddenly reach an unbearable level.
"It was GIC who proposed to expand UBS capital. The intelligence we have obtained now shows that GIC is very ambitious this time. They want to inject more than $20 billion again in order to obtain more shares of UBS. Once they succeed, GIC, which was originally the largest shareholder, will have the opportunity to control the board of directors in the near future, which is obviously not in the interests of some shareholders."
Ji Feng thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will arrive in Switzerland tomorrow. If you don't have any special matters, let Dennis have to go. He knows more about some legal issues than me."
"Okay boss Dennis can start today, but I may not be able to go there anymore. I have to go to Brazil tomorrow. I will rush to Switzerland as soon as possible after the matter of fighting for Brazil is over."
"It's okay, just be busy with yours, just have Nidans."
Ji Feng hung up Spark's phone and called Greta in a bit puzzled way. Originally, this call should have been called by Greta, but Ji Feng was a little surprised why this old guy hadn't been looking for him for a long time.
As a result, a call passed, Ji Feng knew that the old guy was busy now. It was enough for him to deal with the small and medium shareholders all day long. Moreover, he knew that Ji Feng was supporting him, so he just told Spark to make sure that Ji Feng would go to Switzerland to participate. He really didn't expect Ji Feng to reject him.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Feng shook his head with some amusement. He would not refuse you, but he only brought more than one billion US dollars in dividends over the past few dozens or hundreds of years. At this time, Ji Feng seemed like a waste. Ji Feng suddenly had another idea in his mind, but of course he had to talk to Greta.
Since he was going to Switzerland tomorrow, Ji Feng had no time to continue playing, so he called Tang Zijian and knew that most of his plans had been basically planned. Ji Feng simply took a yacht with Hyoyeon to Ranong that night, but after getting ashore at a small port on the east coast, he took a car to Ranong.
After Xiaoyuan went to bed at night, Ji Feng picked up the planning map sent by Tang Zijian and looked at it, saying in surprise: "Are you sure this kind of planning is the most reasonable? Is there any problem with construction?"
Ji Feng came here this time mainly to check what progress the Kara Isthmus canal has reached. This is a super-large project, and Ji Feng asked for a hurry, so Ji Feng and Tang Zijian were under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, although he took office a little later, after signing an agreement with Thailand, geological experts from Jeju Island invited geological experts from Thailand, Celestial, South Korea and Japan to come to survey together.
The reason for inviting others is that the Three Kingdoms will use this canal the most in the future. Although Ji Feng did not allow the Three Kingdoms to occupy the shares, he was willing to give some benefits to the Three Kingdoms during the digging process. Anyway, it is the same for everyone to give, and he does not have so many construction teams.
Ji Feng originally thought that this group of experts would take the shortest shortcut, but he didn't expect that the exit from the west was right next to Ranong City, but the east moved a little south, avoiding the Kodai Island, but passing through the south of Kodai Island. At the same time, the planning map also said that a new channel could be opened there, which would be suitable for the passage of large ships. The key is that the channel is wider and deep enough, so there is basically no need to work hard. In this case, it would just take more effort on the land.
After Tang Zijian's explanation, Ji Feng agreed to this suggestion and signed his own opinion on the preliminary plan, agreeing to formally establish the project in accordance with this plan, and will establish the Kela Canal Company for investment and operation, which will be managed by the Ranang Municipal Government, and at the same time, it will also allow it to establish other relevant supporting enterprises as soon as possible.
Tang Zijian had never seen Ji Feng before, but heard that Ji Feng was very decisive and radical. Unexpectedly, radicalism was not enough to describe Ji Feng. Originally, he thought that such a large-scale project would have to be completed for five or ten years. After all, looking at any country, it is impossible to shorten too much, but Ji Feng directly read the planning book and agreed.
What surprised Tang Zijian even more was Ji Feng's approval. The main excavation project did not need to be handed over to anyone, but was dug by the canal management company itself. Other construction companies were only responsible for repairing and shore embankments, as well as highways and railway projects across the river. The construction period was two years, and the maximum was not more than two and a half years, and it would be opened by the end of 2018.
Ji Feng explained Tang Zijian's doubts and smiled: "The amount of excavation is the largest. If we look at the current construction technology in the world, although the progress is much faster than before, the effect is still not too high. Therefore, I will introduce a new large-scale mechanical equipment. You only need to recruit 200 islanders to control the machinery. Of course, if you have the best experience in large-scale excavation operations, it doesn't matter if you don't. As long as you can drive or drive a boat, don't call foreigners, and let the Ministry of Human Resources coordinate 200 islanders from Jeju Island to you."
"The equipment will arrive in at most a month. You can prepare the people first and ask them to go to Palawan to get the equipment, and then they will conduct operation training there."
For such a large project, if the main body is contracted out, Ji Feng may still pay how much money. The key is that this is not a matter of money. Ji Feng requires the construction period.
So from the beginning that he had the idea of this canal, Ji Feng searched in the market and really asked him to find a company that sold such large-scale excavation equipment. The effect was really great. Even if the dirt or stones were excavated, Ji Feng didn't intend to waste it. He took it all to the Gedao Island and expanded the area of Gedao Island.
Originally, Ji Feng planned to get the Natuna Islands to reclaim the land, but it was too far away. Anyway, this place was its own permanent private territory, so it would be better to settle it nearby. Moreover, the island of Gedao Island originally had some tourism resources, but the island of only 21 square kilometers was too small, so Ji Feng decided to expand it well and expand it to hundreds of square kilometers.
In this way, the canal can be dug out and the Pavilion Island can be expanded, which is really a killing two birds with one stone.
If we were not considering manual land reclamation and expansion, the real canal would only take up to 10 months to reach the end, and the remaining time would basically be extended to the transportation of excavated earth and stone.
After Tang Zijian and others left, Ji Feng flashed into the Dragon Space and delivered the production to Boss Ruan’s pet beast forest. After collecting nearly 2 million dragon coins for this time, Ji Feng went directly to the excavator store that ordered last time.
After the acceptance of one hundred super-large sea excavators, Ji Feng took the way to the end of the world. After checking, he took away more than 200 bulk cargo ships. The main purpose of these more than 200 bulk cargo ships was to transport earth and stone to reclaim the sea.
There are tens of thousands of ships of all kinds on the ports of all sizes in the world in the end of the world. They are all unowned items anyway. They can be taken away after being posted for 48 hours without claiming them. Ji Feng is quite fond of this, and he is completely free to pick them up.
I looked at the residential area established in a large port. This area was created by Ji Feng, and it was searched for various professional talents. What I provided was nothing more than grain and other complementary foods for them to survive.
In fact, they also tried to get rid of Ji Feng's control, such as going out to sea to fish and eat, or flying the plane they repaired to go to other places, but they found that this was completely futile. The entire area seemed to be cursed. Not to mention the more zombies that gathered more and more outside, they went to the sky or the sea, and the zombies and birds and fish from the sky or the sea, which was enough to make them zombies like them.
Therefore, after trying it a few times, no one dared to go out casually. They all honestly sacrificed their lives for Ji Feng. According to Ji Feng's requirements, they modified all kinds of ships, planes, even cars, and various machinery.
At least, Ji Feng can supply them with enough food and clothing, and bring them unrestricted clothing every year. As for wireless power, I'm sorry there is no here. Anyway, there is a nuclear power plant several kilometers away. All the electricity they use at this time comes from there. Of course, Ji Feng helped them take it over. They themselves don't have the courage to go to get the electricity dozens of kilometers away.
