Five Hundred and Thirty-Two: Upcoming Technical Problems for the Sake of Profit

(Please subscribe on 8/10)

New Zealand is known as one of the most popular countries in the world for immigrants. You can see how good its environment is from the country's immigration conditions.

In addition to skilled immigrants and immigrants who meet special conditions, New Zealand’s investment immigration is awarded 10 points if the investment reaches 1.5 million New Zealand dollars, and 40 points if the investment reaches 3 million New Zealand dollars. Then, other conditions of the immigrant applicants are considered, such as personal tax records, Credit record, etc., only after the score exceeds the prescribed value can you obtain immigration qualifications.

Now, New Zealand has begun to adjust the investment scoring standards for investment immigrants, with a minimum of 3 million New Zealand dollars starting from ten points.

The ratio of New Zealand dollars to Chinese dollars is 4.8, which means that if you want to immigrate to New Zealand, you must first invest in New Zealand at least eight million Chinese dollars.

Not counting this, you also need to have living assets of 1 million New Zealand dollars, which means settlement expenses. Prove that you can live in New Zealand for a long time without worrying about money.

In total, you have to come up with at least 13 million Chinese dollars in cash and prove the legal source of these assets before you can apply for New Zealand investment immigration.

You can imagine how good it is to have such a strict environment.

However, this situation has changed since the new Tuvalu emerged under New Zealand's nose.

Even New Zealand's bill to improve investment standards for investment immigrants has been temporarily shelved.

The reason is not only because of the black ten minutes that happened in New Zealand, but also because New Tuvalu recruits immigrants on a large scale and robs New Zealand of many immigrant resources.

"New Tuvalu has promised to never charge personal income tax, and will also pay money to all those who meet the citizenship quality standards. Who else is willing to immigrate to New Zealand?"

In the New Zealand government office building, two senior officials were criticizing New Tuvalu.

"Yes, when those wealthy people saw that there was no personal income tax, they went crazy and wanted to immigrate to New Tuvalu. Although their companies still had to pay taxes, the money paid by the companies was almost all the money of shareholders. , has little impact on their income.”

"Also, they are developing methods to treat cancer, and they are developing methods to treat AIDS. Didn't you read some reports? If you live in New Tuvalu, you will never have to worry about being terminally ill. And die! This is very attractive to both rich people and ordinary people."

A senior New Zealand official looked out the window, and that direction was the direction of New Tuvalu.

"The most important thing is that New Tuvalu insists on protecting the environment on its own land. Not to mention factories, even gasoline vehicles are not allowed to use. Under such strict requirements, I think there will always be problems with the environment of New Tuvalu. One day is better than ours in New Zealand."

"I think the environment in New Tuvalu is now better than ours in New Zealand."

The senior official who looked out the window suddenly laughed, then withdrew his gaze and said, "But this method of maintaining the environment is not without its problems."

Another senior official asked curiously: "Did you get any news?"

"You know, I have good relations with several power company bosses, and they told me that New Tuvalu is now facing a severe power shortage."

"Is there such a thing? Let me just say that the environmentally friendly energy power plants they built in New Tuvalu will not play a big role at all. In this way, those power companies will have to make a lot of money. That’s a lot of money.”

"Haha... New Tuvalu has money, and the whole world knows it. However, we don't know which company will make this huge profit."

…

New Zealand Midang Power Company is New Zealand's old power giant. It occupies almost 20% of New Zealand's power supply market.

At the headquarters of Midang Electric Power Company, all the executives and even several shareholders were having heated discussions.

"Sofia has lowered their offer,

Should we also reduce prices? "

"It was originally agreed that everyone would raise prices together, but they actually took the lead in lowering prices regardless of the agreement. Do they still have any business ethics?"

"Agreement? Did we sign any paper agreement? You have to know that in addition to Sofia Electricity Company, Yali Electricity Company has also lowered its offer for New Tuvalu."

"Farke!"

…

"Okay!" The chairman of Midang Electric Power Company knocked on the table and said: "Now is not the time to scold them, but what method we should use to get the power supply contract for the new Tuvalu."

A shareholder said: "This contract is very important to our company, and can even directly double the market value of our company. Because of the current situation in New Tuvalu, it is simply impossible to achieve self-sufficiency in electricity. According to their current situation, With certain development speed, in the next few years, their electricity consumption will be equivalent to about 40% of our country. If we can get this contract, everyone here will get very generous benefits."

The head of the business department of Midang Company said: "In my opinion, the most appropriate way is undoubtedly to reduce prices. Although New Tuvalu is rich and their king spends money like water, he is not a fool after all. We in New Zealand at least have Four companies have the ability to lay submarine cables. Under such circumstances, as long as one company cannot hold on and lowers its price in order to get the contract, New Tuvalu will inevitably choose to continue to wait and see."

A shareholder said reluctantly: "However, the situation in New Tuvalu is simply a God-given opportunity. If the price is lowered, the future losses will be very huge."

Others also agreed with this shareholder's point of view and echoed his words.

"With the future electricity consumption level of New Tuvalu, a penny of profit is a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars every year."

"There is also the cost of laying submarine cables. We must strive for more profits this time. We didn't make much money from the submarine cables we laid last time."

…

The head of the business department looked helpless. If these people were not the company's decision-makers, he really wanted to stand up and yell: "Are you all idiots? Do you think the king of the new Tuvalu is an idiot? Let him Are you killing them like this?"

The chairman of Midang Electric Power Company knocked on the table again, and after being silent for a while, he said: "Given that the current competitive environment is relatively fierce, can there be some technical problems in our company?"

"Technical question?"

Everyone else looked confused, except the head of the business department who looked at his chairman in shock.

"Mr. Chairman, if we do this, we..."

The chairman waved his hand, interrupted what the head of the business department wanted to say, and then said: "Technical problems will occur in every company. However, in order to make up for the losses caused by our technical problems to New Tuvalu, We can make some appropriate concessions on the second contract."

At this point, others slowly understood and looked at their chairman with shocked expressions.

The chairman showed a smile and asked: "What, do you think there is a problem?"

The shareholders sitting here all looked in agreement and said excitedly: "We don't think there is a problem!"

The heads of the technical and business departments were also under pressure from the decision-makers, and they nodded helplessly saying that they had no problem.

The chairman said with satisfaction: "Then, let me know when it is ready. Of course, because it is a technical issue, there is no need to notify New Tuvalu first."

"clear!"

Li Daniu is currently in the King's Villa in New Tuvalu, watching the construction of several engineering robots that were smuggled to New Tuvalu through Ultron's imaging.

In the past five days, this important place that will be responsible for the energy supply of New Tuvalu in the future has completed basic renovation.

The basement of the building originally used as a laboratory has been cleared out, and engineering robots are installing the No. 3 backup Ark reactor that was dismantled from Poseidon Base.

Li Daniu asked: "Are the cables and everything ready?"

Ultron replied: "The connection to the power grid has been achieved. It is expected that the installation will be completely completed and power supply will start in 9 hours."
