Isn't this just dogs fighting?

Zhao Ye was delighted to see this happen and wished he could fan the flames for them!

In fact, he did just that.

As an export-oriented country, Australia relies heavily on the Chinese market for many products, such as barley, wheat, raw sugar, wool, seafood, wine, coal, and iron ore.

However, Wujiang Group, China's largest business giant, has dumped even more orders on the United States.

Imagine, under these circumstances, could Australia's economy still develop?

Since the rise in iron ore prices in Australia a few years ago, Australia's fate seems to have been sealed...

...

Some say that when you have a certain amount of money, it's just a bunch of numbers.

That was indeed the case for Zhao Ye.

Because he is so incredibly rich that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as "rich enough to rival a country".

Under his incredibly wise leadership, the company has developed rapidly, and its various products have become wildly popular worldwide.

Now, the only things that can interest Zhao Ye are things that can change the country and the world.

After the start of the year, Wujiang Group continued to increase its investment in the new energy field.

Because of the relatively well-developed electric vehicle charging infrastructure, China's new energy vehicle industry has grown rapidly, leading to a daily increase in electricity demand. At the same time, China's industries are experiencing explosive growth, residents' consumption power is increasing, and electricity is needed everywhere.

Wujiang Group is planning ahead and is building more power plants.

Especially in western and northwestern China, where there is abundant sunshine and strong winds, it is very suitable for building photovoltaic power stations and wind power stations.

In addition to building photovoltaic power stations, Wujiang Group also undertakes the important task of transforming the desert environment.

In the chairman's office of Wujiang Group, Zhao Ye stared thoughtfully at the map on the table. Wujiang Group had invested heavily in purchasing vast areas of desert land, and to generate value from this desert, it needed to transform it. However, the severe water shortage in the desert was the biggest obstacle to environmental transformation.

Therefore, Zhao Ye pondered for a long time and concluded that if he wanted to truly transform the desert environment, he had to solve the problem of water resources.

“The water diversion project is not just a matter for Wujiang Group; such matters should be led by the state!” Zhao Ye murmured, frowning slightly.

He understood the country's difficulties; the water diversion project was extremely costly and would not be implemented lightly.

Therefore, in the end, it will most likely still require funding from Wujiang Group.

Zhao Ye pondered the water diversion projects he had learned about online in his previous life, recalling and studying them one by one.

The largest of these projects is the Hongqi River Project.

In addition, there are the Yunnan Central Water Diversion Project, the Hanjiang-to-Weihe River Water Diversion Project, the Yangtze River-to-Hanjiang River Water Diversion Project, the Yellow River-to-Dianchi Lake Water Diversion Project, and so on...

Zhao Ye was increasingly astonished by what he thought about it.

The construction cost of just one project, the Hongqihong Project, is estimated to exceed 4 trillion yuan.

Which civilian company could possibly support a project like this?!

However, Zhao Ye felt that this project was worthwhile, as it would benefit the present and future generations.

Moreover, it's not like they're giving away money for free; they'll definitely have to ask the government for compensation. Furthermore, Zhao Ye is very enthusiastic about building dams and hydroelectric power stations. However, the feasibility of the Hongqi River project is unknown and requires careful study by experts.

At the meeting that afternoon, Zhao Ye expressed his concern for the Hongqi River project and asked someone to find an expert group to conduct a detailed study on the feasibility of the Hongqi River project.

"The goal of the Hongqi River Project is to draw water from Xinjiang and divert it through a 6,000-kilometer-long artificial canal to the northwest regions, including Xinjiang, forming an oasis belt that runs through western China. Once completed, the project will create 200,000 square kilometers of oasis in the desert of the northwest, with an annual water diversion volume equivalent to the Yellow River's runoff, completely changing the history of water scarcity in the northwest. This will be of great significance to agricultural irrigation, industrial production, ecological protection, and people's lives in the northwest region. It can truly be described as a 'benefit for the present and future generations!'"

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking officials present exchanged bewildered glances.

Many people are familiar with the Hongqi River Project. This project was extremely costly, technically challenging, and almost impossible to complete.

Zhao Ye continued, "If the project is feasible, we can discuss with the government to jointly develop it and request compensation from the government, including but not limited to land development rights along the Hongqi River, hydropower station operation rights, etc. Once the Hongqi River project is completed, the large amount of desert land we previously purchased will appreciate significantly. Moreover, the technology our company has accumulated during the construction of the Hongqi River project is also quite important. In addition, since the machinery, equipment, and materials are all produced by our own company, the cost will be relatively much lower!"

Zhao Ye believes that the construction cost of the Hongqi River project will not be the same as the rumored 4 trillion RMB circulating online. As the project progresses and the technology improves, the construction cost will only decrease.

Upon hearing this, everyone responded with their support.

After the meeting, Wujiang Group immediately contacted an expert group to study the feasibility of the Hongqi River project.

The Hongqi River project cannot be completed without the government's leadership, so Wujiang Group contacted the higher authorities immediately.

Before long, the news that Wujiang Group was willing to invest in the construction of the Hongqi River project spread like wildfire and quickly spread across the internet, causing a huge sensation!

Immediately, netizens began to discuss it.

"Holy crap!!! Wujiang Group is so damn awesome! They dare to invest so much in the Hongqi River project. It's said that the construction cost alone is 4 trillion RMB. Wujiang Group is really too rich!"

"Absolutely astonishing! This project is phenomenal, Wujiang Group is truly awesome! I'm giving them my full support, and I hope the Hongqi River project will start construction soon to alleviate the water shortage pressure in Northwest China!"

"Tsk tsk, this project is basically impossible..."

"Yes, I also think it's impossible. It's pure nonsense. Water flows from bottom to top, how can it go up?"

"I think it's feasible. We can build tunnels and dams in the river to raise the water level!"

"There will definitely be difficulties, but with the development of engineering technology, we will be able to divert the abundant water resources of the southwest to the northwest, expanding our living space and usable land!"

"The diversion of water from the Tibetan Plateau to the northwest has a significance and effect far exceeding that of the Three Gorges Dam!"

"..."

Netizens are discussing the project with great enthusiasm, and many are offering suggestions and advice, hoping that the Hongqi River project can really be realized!

When the news reached foreign media, they were all stunned.

"Internet spies??? Impossible! It must be fake news! China is going to launch such a massive, incredible project?!"

"The Chinese are just entertaining themselves. How could a project costing 4 trillion RMB possibly exist?"

"Heh, the construction of the Red Flag River project is so difficult that even we in the West can't do it, let alone China? It's just a publicity stunt!"

"..."

After learning about the construction difficulties of the Hongqi River project, foreign media outlets began to ridicule it.

They simply couldn't believe that China would have the courage and vision to develop such an epic, groundbreaking project...
