Chapter 1508 (1/2)

At Shangwan port, a cruise ship sails from Manhattan Island.

The ship's dazzling neon, with the lights of New York City and New Jersey as the background, moved slowly towards the sea entrance.

Not far away, the torch held high by the statue of liberty has re ignited a copper yellow flame, flashing a faint light in the night. The flame was given to the trump administration by the new country, implying a long and hard won peace between the two countries, because of the special fluorescent material mixed, it can be seen faintly even at night.

As one of the world's top 15 luxury cruise ships, ”Diamond Princess” is the world's top luxury cruise ship with the largest volume and the most complete facilities among the world's famous cruise brand ”Princess”, just like a five-star hotel floating on the sea. There are 1337 cabins on the cruise ship, of which 748 are equipped with private open-air balconies. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the sea directly without leaving their guest rooms.

At this moment, on the deck of the cruise ship, guests in formal or evening dress, with champagne in their hands, gather in small and large circles to talk to each other. It seems that the banquet is more luxurious than the one held by the Boston consortium, but the style of the participants is not so good.

”That's the chairman of Princeton group, one of the top 500 companies in the world, with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. That guy over there, named Jelinek, is a major shareholder and CEO of Costco group, and also a shareholder of several Internet start-up companies... ” Noticing that Jiang Chen yawned, Leslie chuckled. ”Of course, they can't compare with you.”

”Don't compare with me. It's hard to compare with your father.” Jiang Chen gave a faint smile.

Instead of using his real name, Jiang Chen boarded the boat as Leslie's male companion and wore sunglasses that almost blocked half of his face. Because Garcia's family name is heavy enough, the security guards in charge of the cruise ship's security didn't check his identity any more. So far, he has not attracted anyone's attention.

”Leslie's five billion dollar threshold is full of red lips. You can notice that the demand for business partners here is relatively low, mainly for the sake of... ”

”For?” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

”To relax,” Leslie chuckled, lifting her chin toward the man not far away who was cuddling, ”in other words, to address physiological needs.”

Jiang Chen laughed and didn't answer.

But the meaning in the eyes is very clear, if only so, the party is not enough to attract him.

”If you're not interested in these appetizers and there's going to be an auction later, I'll bet there's something you like.”

”For example?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

”Works of art, cultural relics, title deeds of luxury houses, shares of companies, even people...”

”People?” Jiang Chen's eyebrows picked.

”It's an open secret of high society Generally speaking, the threshold is set at $5 billion. Of course, if you hate it... ”

”Just curious.” Jiang Chen faintly smile, ”by the way, I always want to ask, what are they celebrating?”

”Sanders won the Bering Strait highway project, which is a large project with hundreds of billions of dollars. It is really worth celebrating.” Leslie chuckled.

More than a century ago, a French engineer first proposed the bold idea of building an undersea tunnel under the Bering Strait. However, the plan is difficult to implement, not to mention the tense diplomatic relations between Russia and the United States.

Today, of course, this project is not difficult. The breakthrough of graphene material and nano ceramic technology makes this century project have the foundation of realization. Since joining the Earth Defense Alliance, the new trump administration has also been actively repairing diplomatic relations with other member states. It seems that 80% of the global geopolitical crises have been lifted with the decline of American hegemony.

Thus, the grand plan to connect Eurasia and America was put on the agenda. After the latest diplomatic meeting between the United States and Russia, the 103 kilometer long undersea tunnel across the Bering Strait agreed with each other immediately. After returning home, they jointly issued an announcement to jointly build the ”century project”.

More than 500 enterprises will participate in the bidding of this project, and more than 50 enterprises will win the bidding in the end.
