97: Starport and Boss Benefits
The changes are really huge.
jarvis, report the construction progress.
The voice of jarvis sounded in He Ming's ear.
"Sir, the space elevator has been completed."
"Space Base [Pioneer] progress, 34%."
"The Starport's Star Sea area has been completed."
"The official Dragon Country Space Base [Explorer] progress, 31.5%."
"Moon Base progress, 15.6%."
"The Starport's official special zone has been completed."
"Bais Technology's Starport commercial district has been completed."
He Ming was very satisfied with this progress; once the space base was fully built, battleships could be churned out like dumplings.
Guided by the intelligent robot, He Ming entered the Star Sea Building, going straight to the top floor.
He walked up to the floor-to-ceiling window, starlight shimmering in his eyes as he looked down upon the various areas of the Starport.
The most prosperous area was the official special zone of Dragon Country.
Giants from various domestic industries had moved in, commercial buildings stood tall, roads extended in all directions, and the commercial streets were bustling with people, the majority of whom were tourists from all over the world.
The ability to complete construction in such a short time was thanks to the complete set of infrastructure equipment blueprints provided by Star Sea.
He Ming turned his head to look at the commercial district where Bais Technology was located.
Large commercial buildings, high-end residential areas, five-star hotels, and various entertainment venues even during the day, one could feel the luxurious atmosphere rushing forth.
Compared to her initial investment, Bai Qianqian's high-stakes gamble once again earned her a massive fortune.
In terms of wealth alone, the capital she controlled was already fully capable of challenging the Qian family.
The Star Sea area.
This area gathered dozens of the world's most cutting-edge, large-scale experimental bases.
Three large industrial parks fully supported all the needs of the research bases.
However, this only occupied one-fifth of the area.
The remaining four-fifths belonged to absolute restricted zones; even Jiang Zhonghua was not qualified to enter, and only vehicles transporting materials were allowed passage.
Though seemingly desolate, this was actually the concentration point of wealth, where money burned through by the hundreds of millions every second.
But at the same time, it was also creating even more astonishing wealth.
As for the other areas.
Most were still under construction... Therefore, the first wave of hot money all flowed into the Star Sea Industrial Park, the Dragon Country Special Zone, and the Bai's business district.
Although the capital groups that invested massive wealth to purchase land were envious, they could only silently endure, growing increasingly jealous.
All they could do was urge the highly paid large construction teams they hired to work harder.
He Ming turned around, walked to the desk, and sat down; his personal intelligent robot immediately stepped forward and handed him the full-time notebook and a special fountain pen.
[List the percentage of the cultivation speed bonus granted by the imperial seal of china.]
[305%]
He Ming twirled the pen, his eyes vacant, lost in his own thoughts.
With a cultivation speed of more than three times the norm, there were still four years left until the Hai Star fleet arrived.
If he could increase it further on this foundation, he would definitely have enough time to open up an Inner Universe and achieve a leap in combat power.
As for how to increase faith, He Ming had already gotten the answer from the notebook before entering the Ailao Mountains.
Simply put, it was about making someone convinced, respectful, worshipful, or blindly devoted... All positive emotions would generate the power of faith, and the deeper the emotion, the better the effect.
"Then I'll test the waters using the most practical method."
He Ming turned his head to look at the space elevator soaring into the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window; a rough count showed there were only thirty-odd commercial elevators.
"What is the price for the commercial elevators?"
"Sir, the price set by Star Sea is 100,000 Dragon Country Yuan, and 100,000 USD for foreign personnel, utilizing real-name authentication to prevent scalpers from intervening."
"What is the maximum number of tourists that can be accommodated in one day?"
"190,000 person-times."
"With so many tourists, it really is a case of too many wolves and too little meat."
"Then let Star Sea Employees also enjoy this benefit."
"jarvis, notify Jiang Zhonghua and have him arrange immediately that all Star Sea Employees receive one opportunity per month to ride the space elevator, plus an additional quota for one family member."
"Oh, right, make sure the notification is issued in my name."
"Yes, Sir."
Star Sea Tower, President's Office.
Jiang Zhonghua was handling documents when a special notification sound suddenly came from his computer.
Huh!
Jiang Zhonghua was shocked; this was an email from the Big Boss!
After half a year, the email had finally appeared again.
He hurriedly opened the email, originally thinking the Big Boss was about to launch another earth-shattering project.
But when he saw the content clearly, he felt a little disappointed, yet his heart warmed.
Having a boss like this, even working until death on the job, was worth it!
Soon, 27,500 Star Sea Employees successively received a notice text message.
Star Sea Customer Service Department, leisure area.
Lily and her best friend, Group Leader, were huddled together, waiting for the ticket-snatching channel for the [Starry Sky Tour] to open exactly at noon.
"Yanyan, it's about to start!"
"What's the rush? It's not like whoever is fastest gets the ticket anyway."
When the time reached 12 o'clock, both immediately clicked on the ticket-snatching channel, which had turned from gray to bright, quickly entered their information, and finally clicked confirm.
Ten minutes later, the official results were announced.
[We regret to inform you that you did not manage to secure a ticket for this round...]
"Ugh, didn't get one again."
Group Leader glanced at Lily's phone; the result was the same.
Just then, both of their phones chimed simultaneously with a notification sound.
"Yanyan, it looks like a message from the President's Office."
Group Leader's eyes lit up, and she quickly opened the text message.
[To all Star Sea Colleagues: Starting this month, all official employees will receive one free double ticket per month to ride the space elevator... An exclusive benefit specially approved by the Boss.]
Lily leaned over to look, and the two best friends froze on the spot.
"Space trip, double tickets!"
"Oh my god, and it was specially approved by our Star Sea Boss!"
"Long live the Boss! We finally don't have to scramble for tickets anymore!"
Group Leader's eyes almost turned into dollar signs; she saw the enormous wealth behind this double ticket!
Although the ticket-snatching mechanism relied on real-name registration and completely prevented scalpers from reselling, the public demand for tickets remained consistently high.
Just yesterday, she unintentionally overheard a conversation between their Customer Service Department manager: someone was willing to pay three million to persuade the manager to release a single ticket, but they still failed.
Before long, the entire building erupted in cheers.
"An exclusive benefit specially approved by the Boss, and we get to go once every month!"
"Long live the Boss!!"
"This is too extravagant! Other companies give out money and gifts, but our Boss directly gives out double tickets for a space trip!"
"Thank goodness for my mom; I wanted to resign back then, but she slapped me awake."
