Chapter 21: Global Procurement and Tendering

Farms and fisheries may not require a large amount of manpower. However, a more complex issue arises.

Generally, workers in these two industries, with their vast experience, have more stable incomes compared to other professions and are often not young. Recruiting them directly can be challenging, but with adequate financial offer, it is certainly possible.

However, Chen Yang is not simply seeking recruitment; he is creating job opportunities for the citizens of Yan Guo and does not intend to hire externally.

"It's a challenge, but not impossible," thought Chen Yang. "If there's a hurdle, it's just a matter of insufficient money."

He took paper and pen and began detailing the positions and salaries needed for these two industries. Then, he added the related equipment to the shopping list.

Once everything was done, Chen Yang saved the article and announced it when all national bonds were sold out and the live broadcast began.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the 6.9 billion treasury bonds were sold out. Without wasting time, Chen Yang immediately started the live broadcast.

Although it started suddenly, the audience was already present, and in no time, the number of online viewers easily surpassed 10 million.

"I missed the previous broadcast. Is it starting again?"

"Why start the program so diligently today?"

"Is there another big announcement?"

Chen Yang greeted: "Good afternoon, everyone."

"I started this broadcast spontaneously to announce three things."

"First, all of Yan Guo's 6.9 billion national debt has been sold."

"What, sold out?"

"6.9 billion, sold in just four hours?"

"Who's buying?"

"6.9 billion isn't much. Our country has sold about 137.9 billion some time ago. You can't even buy it if you want."

"Can they be compared? Our country has a high credit rating. Public debt is guaranteed, ensuring profit, and major institutions can buy it in billions."

"Yan Guo's national debt is open to the world for sale, and 6.9 billion isn't much."

"When will the next Treasury bond sale be?"

Chen Yang continued: "The second thing is about the Longteng Plan acquisition. The shopping list is as follows..."

"1. 100,000 tons of potable water and 200,000 tons of purified water."

"2. Organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur..."

"3. Cement, sand..."

"4. Excavators, concrete mixers, pile drivers..."

Chen Yang detailed all the necessary items: "I will post the shopping list on the Yan Guo website later. Large companies can submit their quotations directly to my email. Please include the email address when submitting, governments and corporations."

"The next thing is the third thing - bidding!"

After Chen Yang finished addressing procurement matters, he immediately announced the third piece of news.

Upon hearing this, everyone became instantly alert. Especially the leaders of various companies shut off all distractions to fully focus on their work.

Chen Yang proceeded, "This bidding is open to the world. Projects up for bidding mainly include submarine cables, Yan Guo base stations, drinking water plants, power plants..."

"Let me put it into perspective, it's a considerable bidding. As for the figures? We have 6.9 billion dollars, but projects like these carry substantial values."

"The country was founded yesterday and today has already raised 6.9 billion. The country's development organization is so well-coordinated that it's hard to believe it's all done by a single person."

"The ability is truly remarkable, perhaps even a bit excessive."

"I thought he would prioritize the development of the fishing industry before gradually expanding, but it seems like the boss and I aren't on the same level."

Chen Yang concluded, "Major companies, please send your budget proposals directly to my email, indicating the country and the company you belong to."

"Okay, that's all for today's live broadcast. Goodbye, everyone."

After the notification, Chen Yang immediately published the procurement list and bidding projects on the official website.

As for the immigration plan, it will have to wait, at least until the infrastructure is completed. As for when that will happen, it will be soon. The efficiency of simulated engineering robots is three times higher than that of human workers, and working 24 hours a day, they are equivalent to five times more efficiency.

All 10 million people invested in the construction of Yan City, and it can be completed in a maximum of one month.

If desired, it could buy another 10,000 robots and use them, which would further increase efficiency.

Yes, it's possible, but not necessary.

The construction speed is already very fast, and attracting unnecessary attention is not desirable. Moreover, the construction of airports, ports, highways, and farms must also occur simultaneously. The plan is to complete these infrastructure works within a month.

After the infrastructure is completed, the first batch of immigration plans can be officially implemented!

After the broadcast ended, searches for Yan Guo once again dominated the internet. The sale of the 6.9 billion Treasury bonds shocked some uninformed netizens about finance once again, but also inspired confidence in investors from various countries.

The rapid sale of bonds suggests that even the general public is optimistic about Yan Guo's development, even though many are just following the crowd. However, public participation is crucial to ensure profits for investors.

Countless companies, large and small, from around the world, immediately accessed Yan Guo's official website to download shopping lists and learn about bidding projects. Based on this information, they provided budgets and submitted bidding proposals to the email address provided by Chen Yang.

Not long after the broadcast ended, Chen Yang received a call from China.
