Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 2468: Chapter 2306: That’s a Costly Gamble

Deep-sea mining.

If you wish.

It is not too simple. The most direct method is to cut a good mine elsewhere as a whole, and then just throw it into the sea.

Of course.

Some cover-up work must also be done. For example, construct the seafloor topography above and around it to be the same. Overall, the difficulty is really not that high.

Moreover.

Because it is a deep-sea drilling budget.

Whatever is dug up.

It is all controllable.

The equipment is ours, and the personnel are also ours. Considering some issues, many key positions above are held by fighters.

Other people.

Mostly do other work apart from mining. In this way, he can even brazenly put the teleportation node in the ore machine.

Whatever is needed.

Transmit it.

It’s very convenient.

…

A week later.

Sea Province.

The testing base along the coast is filled with people. Besides the base’s test personnel, there are many construction workers who look excitedly at the distant sea surface.

There.

The result of more than a year’s hard work.

—The Floating Vessel.

Seen from a distance, you basically cannot see the shape of a ship. The entire deck of the Floating Vessel is on average twenty meters above the sea surface, painted white all around.

The transplanted vines hang down.

Obstructive?

A bit.

But operational machinery is not something small that would be hindered by a bit of vine. Quite the opposite, it looks comforting.

On top.

Looking afar.

It is a lush jungle.

Island center.

A giant iron tower stands tall.

“So beautiful!”

“I really want to live up there.”

“Agree.”

“I don’t know when it can break even, this thing is really too expensive, if it weren’t for steel from Wan Qing Mining, the entire construction cost would exceed twenty billion.”

“Really expensive!”

“So wealthy!”

“…”

Everyone lavishly praised it. Whether this thing can eventually break even or not, just like some useless landmark buildings, it’s fine just to look at it!

The sheer appearance is very attractive.

Sightseeing.

Travel.

Can collect a lot of ticket fees.

…

Among the crowd.

There are also some leaders of Sea Province, feeling both joyful and a bit shocked. The big fellow in front of them is worth over a hundred billion RMB.

Moreover.

The Floating Vessel has been attracting attention since its construction.

Today.

A lot of media have come, and there will be a live broadcast.

This time.

Their province can boost its reputation again. They hope the Floating Vessel won’t sail away, but will stay here to attract tourists, while knowing that it’s impossible.

Even if the ticket is a hundred.

Hosting ten thousand people a day, it’s only a million. Thirty million a month, four hundred million a year. Four hundred million RMB probably isn’t enough for depreciation.

Furthermore.

Tang Qing doesn’t really mind these billions. As for mining with this, they’re not too optimistic, unless mining for precious metals, otherwise they’d say: this drift is a bit too big.

A billion-dollar drift.

Luxurious!

Extravagant!

Looking at what’s in front.

They even suspect that Tang Qing didn’t intend to drill mines at all, but wanted to create a mobile island for fun. Looking at it above, what part looks like a mining ship?

Flowers.

Lawn.

Jungle.

As well as many leisure facilities, besides the office building, there are many separate villas. My goodness, it’s just like a resort.

Mining?

Forget about it, this is just Tang Qing’s toy.

A billion-dollar toy.

…

Comet Video.

Homepage.

Live broadcast ongoing.

“Wow, from the cover, I thought it was an island, but it’s a ship?”

“Another newbie online.”

“Uh-huh!”

“This is a sea mining ship researched and manufactured by Tang Qing’s company, capable of mining deep-sea minerals. Today, it begins acceptance testing, and the sea trial is the day after tomorrow.”

“I see!”

“…”

Even though it’s always been closely watched, some people with different focuses notice today’s cover recommendation, and only then click in to see the Floating Vessel.

At a glance.

They fell in love with it.

“From the appearance, who would think it’s a mining ship.”

“Indeed!”

“Beautiful!”

“If it were open for visits, I’d go up immediately. Such space, such deck environment, far more enjoyable than any giant cruise ship!”

“Certainly.”

“This is true island drifting, strongly suggest Tang Qing build another one specifically for tourism, organizing a global sea voyage.”

“Agree!”

“Support!”

“+1.”

“…”

Everyone was clear, unless mining fails to make money, otherwise Tang Qing likely wouldn’t open it for outsiders. Meanwhile, the hope that it wouldn’t make money grows.

Getting louder.

This time.

Leaving some initially wanting to criticize Tang Qing, saying this thing is just for show and sure to lose heavily, utterly dumbfounded.

What’s happening?

Always pessimistic?

Then how can I be pessimistic?

Moreover.

In this wave of ’playful pessimism’, even if it really doesn’t make money in the end, most people will be happy with an additional tourist spot.

Helpless!

Why does anything involving Tang Qing end up unpredictable?

Thinking deeper.

Gradually becoming clear.

Previously.

Tang Qing invested in many ’innovative projects’, like unmanned supermarkets, shared charging fur, shared umbrellas… seemingly sure to lose projects.

Ultimately.

Most turned successful.

Of course.

There’s also the reason for not being large-scale. Tang Qing plays with these, just like the initial unmanned supermarket, at that time Tang Qing candidly stated:

Make money through this?

No.

He just wishes to bring a bit of novelty to the world. Money, so clichéd and unbearable, adding more novelty to everyone’s life.

Realize some slightly unrealistic visions.

That’s enough.

From then on.

Tang Qing’s investments in such projects, regardless of profit or loss, even if constantly losing, nobody dares to criticize Tang Qing’s business vision, lest they be called narrow-minded.

What’s up?

This guy has money and loses it to show us some novelty.

Is there a problem?

You could say.

Even if Tang Qing’s subsidiary company ultimately faces massive loss, there would likely be countless people supporting it, simply because its products under his enterprise.

Though they may not be much different from before, offering a bit more. Judging an entrepreneur purely by profit or loss indicates a very small mind.

Also too dull.

Aside from money.

Is there nothing else in sight?

…

“Boss Tang!”

Tang Qing arrived late.

Upon arrival.

He saw some provincial leaders and the management of the testing base, in fact, the acceptance work began early this morning.

From inside out.

From top to bottom.

Every corner must be looked at and tested. The total number of acceptance personnel has exceeded five hundred, conducting a comprehensive examination of the Floating Vessel.

Many projects.

Therefore.

Purely stationary testing projects will continue to be conducted until next morning, with power testing and refueling to follow tomorrow afternoon.

The day after.

The sea trial phase will commence.

It can be said.

For the next week, Tang Qing will be here, following the tests and having some fun at sea. Floating on an ’island’ at sea is indeed a first-time experience.
