Chapter 1507 - Diamond Princess (2/2)

Of course, this project was not that difficult today. The breakthrough of graphene materials and nano-ceramic technology made this kind of millennial project a possible reality. Since the UA joined the Earth Defense Alliance, the newly established Trump government has also actively repaired diplomatic relations with other member states. Eighty percent of global geopolitical crises seemed to have disappeared followed by the decline of the UA hegemony.

Thus, the grand plan to connect Eurasia with North America was put on the agenda. This 103-kilometer-long undersea tunnel spanned the Bering Strait, after the most recent diplomatic meeting between the UA and Russia, the heads of the two countries immediately agreed on the plan. After the meeting, they announced to jointly build this “Millennial Project.”

More than 500 companies would participate in the bidding of the project, and eventually more than 50 companies would win the bid.

Jiang Chen seemed to recall this event. Xia Shiyu mentioned to him a few days ago that Future Heavy Industries would provide steel, corrosion-resistant cement and graphene building materials for this tunnel in the future. And in the last meeting with Trump, he also mentioned it.

As for the money to fund the project, it was easy to solve. Future Bank recently increased its holding of the UA Treasury bonds by 600 billion dollars. The Supreme Court’s judgment on Morgan and the Rockefeller Group also helped the Trump administration to obtain trillions of dollars in assets.

The event could be regarded as a blessing in disguise for the ill-fated president. It was no exaggeration to say that he was definitely the richest president in the country’s history.

There was never a president who could spend so much on infrastructure without having to worry about the budget.

While Jiang Chen chatted with Leslie and tasted the red wine, he suddenly seemed to see a familiar figure in the crowd. However, when he was about to take a closer look, that figure disappeared.

He frowned slightly, but at this moment, there was a discordant voice.

“Leslie, this is your boyfriend? Indian? Or Mexican? Oh, my God, don’t tell me he is Asian.” The woman said in an exaggerated voice, with a slight sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Chen turned his head slightly and looked to that side.

A woman who wore a silver-white dress while holding a male guest’s arm walked towards him and Leslie. The bottom of the skirts was dotted with silver light, which seemed to be diamonds, and looked expensive. The male guest looked familiar, but Jiang Chen couldn’t recall his face… but that was not the issue.

Jiang Chen instantly understood what happened, so he gave Leslie a meaningful look.

The latter glanced at him with some guilty conscience and quickly explained in a quiet voice.

“Elsa Griffin, the youngest daughter of the Griffin family. His father is the chairman of Wachovia Bank…”

“If I guessed correctly, you have some feud with her, am I right?” Jiang Chen said with an expression between smiling and not smiling.

“Sorry, I… I really didn’t know she would be here too. His father and my father have some feuds, and our relationship is not great…” Leslie looked at Jiang Chen carefully, then nervous said, “I, I just…”

Leslie wanted to explain something, but Elsa was already walking towards them.

From the way she stared at Leslie, the flicker in those eyes was obvious…

She obviously didn’t come here with friendly intentions.
