Chapter 289 Eight-Nation Alliance (First Update)
Mandeb region.
A large hospital whose construction was basically completed was stopped and renovated.
A large number of engineering machinery and construction personnel were stationed and construction began in full swing.
There were more workers than before, and steel bars and cement were piled on the site.
Workers wearing safety helmets were directing large trucks filled with sand and soil, and huge cranes were coming from a distance, and the roar of various heavy construction machinery was heard.
As the project progressed, some workers began to install windows and doors, giving the entire building a breath of life.
It's just that the exterior walls of the hospital, which used to be pure white, have now been painted into other dark colors, giving it a somewhat strange feel.
Su Jie took Chen Yaoguang on a busy construction site, accompanied by several engineers.
These engineers are from China and are members of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau.
China is known as an infrastructure madman. As long as the money is in place, there is no doubt about their construction speed.
"The progress here, according to the plan, when will the construction be completed?"
Su Jie looked up at the renovated hospital. Large-scale expansions had also been carried out nearby. Su Jie's purpose was to build a super-large haunted house.
"Because the hospital has been basically completed, and the rest is just some light decoration and construction. With workers working in three shifts 24 hours a day, it will take about half a month to complete the first phase of the project and initially put it into use.
The subsequent larger-scale second and third phases of the project will take us longer to construct because the area is too large, covering an area of more than 6,000 acres. ”
The chief engineer at the scene replied respectfully, this super large haunted house covers an area of more than 6,000 acres, which is about the same size as Tsinghua University. It is only a small part of what has just been built in front of you.
"The time is OK!"
Su Jie nodded. If the construction of the haunted house is completed one day earlier, it can be opened one day earlier to harvest fear. Su Jie attaches great importance to this.
In Su Jie's mind, the future haunted house will be the benchmark for Disneyland in Shanghai. This park has only been open for seven or eight years and has received more than 100 million visitors.
Chen Yaoguang handed over a piece of information and interjected: "Mr. Su, according to your request, we have posted advertisements on multiple publicity platforms to promote the haunted house, and contacted many tour groups, and spent a lot of money to contact them. Some online bloggers will participate in the haunted house to help promote it. However, do we really need to use such a huge bonus? If someone really clears the haunted house, the reward will be up to one million US dollars."
Thinking of the advertisement that Su Jie asked for, Chen Yaoguang still feels incredible when he thinks about it.
At Su Jie's request, huge publicity funds were invested in the name of Jieke Company, and a high bonus for success was set. In Chen Yaoguang's view, this was no different than throwing money into water.
"Are we short of money?"
Su Jie smiled. Money is not a problem for Su Jie at all now, at least it can't bother him yet.
"Jeco's current monthly revenue exceeds 10 billion US dollars, and we have sufficient cash flow."
Chen Yaoguang said immediately and understood what Su Jie meant.
He just didn't quite understand that even if he had money, there was no need to spend it on a haunted house.
Compared with amusement parks, haunted houses are very niche, and it is very difficult to make a profit to recover the costs.
"Since there is no shortage of money, everything else is not a problem. I have no plans to rely on haunted houses to recover the cost. This is my plan. I want to build Mander City into the world's largest super haunted house. Even if I invest tens of billions of dollars, I will No matter what.”
Su Jie's voice was calm, and of course it was impossible to explain the real reason to Chen Yaoguang.
Money earned must be spent. The population of the Mande area is limited, with a population of just over two million, and the entire Zen Kingdom has a population of 50 million.
Unless it is mandatory for people to visit haunted houses, it will be difficult to guarantee the level of fear that Su Jie needs due to passenger flow.
Besides, the same group of people always enter the haunted house. Even if it is a real ghost, people's fear threshold will be higher and higher, and the fear provided will be less and less. This is not in line with Su Jie's expectations.
In order to satisfy Su Jie's request, Su Jie needs to attract more tourists and let them enter the haunted house.
If you want to achieve this, in addition to building a reputation, the most effective way is to attract benefits.
Su Jie walked on the construction site, pointed to a building on the left, and said: "The haunted house has five difficulty levels, normal, difficult, nightmare, hell, and no solution. This building is set as normal difficulty, and the decoration inside is according to my According to the design, as long as the tourists successfully complete the challenge, they will be rewarded with 10,000 US dollars, the difficulty reward is 50,000 US dollars, the nightmare reward is 100,000 US dollars, the hell reward is 300,000 US dollars, and the direct reward is 1 million US dollars if there is no solution.”
In Su Jie's plan, only one level of ghost will appear in the haunted house with normal difficulty.
On hard difficulty, there will be second-level ghosts, and in nightmares, there will be third-level ghosts.
In a hell-level haunted house, lantern ghosts and painted girls will appear.
As for the Unsolvable Level, after this super-large haunted house is completed, it will become a resting place for the Wedding Dress Ghost.
This unsolvable haunted house is designed to let the ghosts in wedding clothes relax and rest.
Normally speaking, most people would be scared to death when facing a real first-class ghost in an ordinary haunted house. Who would be so stubborn as to try an unsolvable haunted house?
Everyone present except Su Jie gasped when they heard this.
“With this money, I’m afraid many people will go crazy.”
An engineer from China murmured to himself that in China, the annual salary of ordinary people is only 10,000 US dollars. But here, you only need to successfully break through the normal-level haunted house, and you can get a year's salary, which is not too exciting.
"Mr. Su, is there no upper limit?"
Some engineers couldn't help but wonder, if this continues, no matter how big the fortune is, it will be wiped out.
"As long as you have the ability, no matter how many people successfully pass the level, we will not lose a penny of the bonus. With the reputation of Jieke Company, no one can be afraid that we will default on our money."
Su Jie chuckled lightly. Nowadays, Jieke Company has a lot of money and doesn't take trivial money seriously.
And it is definitely not as easy as they thought to successfully break through the haunted house.
This requires not only courage, but also enough resourcefulness, otherwise it will just be a delivery of food.
"This is impossible."
Several engineers thought the same thing. Jieke Company is known to be the No. 1 pharmaceutical company once it goes public.
Its Tianyuan hair growth serum can be said to be a household name all over the world.
One million US dollars is a huge wealth for an individual, but for a multinational pharmaceutical giant like Jieco, it is really nothing.
"Old Chen, increase your investment in publicity and you can start warming up now."
Su Jie told Chen Yaoguang again that it would be done quickly in half a month, and staff training had started early. As for the employees who pretended to be ghosts in the haunted house, there was no need to worry about this.
"Mr. Su, you haven't chosen a name for this haunted house yet. It's up to you to name it."
"Well, let's call it Nightmare Paradise. I hope tourists can experience a real and exciting experience here."
Su Jie touched his chin and said a name.
"Good name, this name is good."
Chen Yaoguang nodded repeatedly, as if the name was so particular and the horse was too obvious.
Su Jie shook his head with a smile and continued to visit the construction site, telling the engineer his plan.
Half an hour later, an unexpected surprise came to the door.
Liu Yingying hurriedly got out of the car, put on her safety helmet, walked to Su Jie, and lowered her voice: "Something happened, Su Jie."
Su Jie waved his hand at Chen Yaoguang. Chen Yaoguang knew what was going on and left first with a few engineers.
"Is it the beautiful country causing trouble again?"
Su Jie asked, the enemy he was targeting now was the Blue Star Overlord.
"Yes, just now, the beautiful country announced a new round of sanctions against the Zen state of East Chin State, saying that it would freeze Jieke Company's overseas bank funding channels and launch a more stringent trade embargo.
Just half an hour ago, a cargo ship heading towards Kik Port in East Chin State, containing the industrial supplies we purchased, was seized by the Chan government navy. They said we were transporting illegal smuggling and asked us to pay 3,000 yuan. A fine of $10,000.
In addition, the beautiful country also announced that it will dispatch an ocean-going escort fleet to join the seven countries of Temasek, Luzon, Siam, Java, Johor, Zen Kingdom and Sakura to combat passing pirates in the Bay of Bengal and maintain the safety of the waterway. , this is obviously coming towards us, they plan to block us on the land.
They also plan to normalize this kind of escort, establish an eight-nation security agreement, led by beautiful countries, and create an organization of the eight-nation Asia-Pacific alliance to create a small circle to lock up our development. ”
Liu Yingying quickly pulled out the recent news and presented it to Su Jie.
Su Jie lowered his head and looked at the latest reports. They were from various countries, but the ones from Sakura Country were the most conspicuous.
As the eldest son of the Beautiful Country, Loyal Dog No. 1 blatantly signed a reciprocal military access agreement with the Zen Kingdom. This agreement will allow the Sakura Country Self-Defense Force to be deployed to the borders of the Zen Kingdom in turns.
Other countries can only send out their navies and send out a few shabby small frigates to follow the beautiful country to make a living and wave the flag to increase momentum.
Only the Sakura Kingdom has sent troops and deployed here. How courageous!
"The scar has healed and I have forgotten the pain. You haven't been beaten since you were a kid, right?"
Su Jie saw on his mobile phone what the Prime Minister of Sakura Kingdom said at the press conference, saying that he would provide a coastal radar system to Zen Kingdom, provide a series of technical support for Zen Kingdom's patrol vessels, and investigate and deal with illegal smuggling and transportation lines at sea. We must resolutely safeguard the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of the Zen Kingdom and crack down on all dictatorial warlords and lawless elements. ’ and other words.
Reading this news made Su Jie laugh.
伱TMSakura Country doesn’t want to stay well in Northeast Asia. If it comes to Southeast Asia to stir up trouble, you will be overwhelmed.
But Su Jie didn't think it was strange after thinking about it.
Sakura Country is a country that is deeply controlled from top to bottom by Beautiful Country. It is also the country with the largest number of troops stationed overseas by Beautiful Country. This time, Sakura Country is clearly playing the role of leading the charge.
It seems that the beautiful country was hurt by the Jieco Group last time. This time, it hid behind and made small moves. Instead, it sent the top horseman from the Sakura Kingdom to test and tease the Jieke Group's tiger beard.
If the Jieko Group is still so brutal and terrifying by then, Sakura Country will also be injured.
If the Jieco Group retreats, the beautiful country can unite with other countries to make further progress and obtain more benefits.
