Chapter 1120 - The End of the Century (2/2)

At least in the timeline of the apocalypse with the three superpowers, even by 2170, colonizing Mars was still a dream. However, with Celestial Trade, the Mars colony already began the second round of expansion.

Just then, a sudden phone call interrupted Jiang Chen’s imagination for the future.

It was Ye Qinghua.

He opened the holographic screen, then he gestured Yang Guanglei to wait for a moment and went to the side to pick up the phone.

“Uncle Ye? Is there something wrong?” Jiang Chen smiled.

Since the last outer space development forum, Ye Qinghua had stayed in Xin. Although he retired from his position and had no power in his hands, no one could ignore his influence and his family in Hua’s political scene.

The reason why he stayed here largely explained the official attitude of Hua, and the country still valued Xin as a natural ally.

“Haha, can I not call Mr. Jiang just to chat?” Ye Qinghua said in a half-joking tone.

“Of course you can,” Jiang Chen laughed.

Although Elder Ye rarely spoke to him, Jiang Chen knew that the old man didn’t just sit around. If it was not for Ayesha, he didn’t even know that Elder Ye actually moved beside his parents.

He didn’t just move there. The elder man either played chess with his dad and Elder Xia or went fishing to catch seafood.

Elder Ye’s hometown was in the River South area, strictly speaking, they all came from the same hometown. Meeting a fellow townsman in a foreign country, the elders naturally were very enthusiastic about being acquainted. Elder Ye quickly integrated into Jiang Jianguo’s circle.

Jiang Chen didn’t know why he was so close to his father, but he didn’t bother with their interaction. Usually, he just headed back to his parents’ house to have a meal, and he seldom talked about work, so Elder Ye wouldn’t learn anything about him.

As long as Elder Ye did not try to persuade his father about the marriage between him and Elder Ye’s granddaughter, everything else was negotiable.

“I heard that the magnetic levitation road that you discussed with the Ministry of Transportations will start construction in a month or two?”

Coincidentally, he was there to inspect the production line. It was great timing.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and said, “Is the Ye family interested in infrastructure?”

“Hehe, it’s the younger generations.” Elder Ye laughed, but he sounded serious.

“Let me tell you the truth. The magnetic levitation road modification project is not a difficult one, and the technical requirement is pretty low. A driller just needs to put the magnetic device into the road,” Jiang Chen said.

Elder Ye quickly said, “Then how about this…”

Jiang Chen smiled and interrupted him, “The key is not with us, but with you. We are only a supplier. The Ministry of Transportations and the provincial transportation departments are responsible for the bidding. If you have the power to take on the project, of course, I don’t have any complaints.”

“Haha, rest assured, we have already spoken with the Ministry of Transportations and the provincial transportation departments. Now we are waiting for you to start shipping so we can start construction on there.” Elder Ye laughed.
