Building a Business Empire with my Technological System

Chapter 316: Formalities and the Start of the New Project

October 9th, 2028: The White House Dining Room

Michael Reyes and Bridget entered the opulent dining room, where President Greene and a few key advisors awaited them. The room was elegantly decorated, with a long table set for an intimate dinner. Candles flickered softly, casting a warm glow over the polished silverware and fine china.

"Mr. Reyes, Ms. Bridget, welcome," President Greene greeted them warmly, gesturing for them to take their seats. "I hope you find the setting comfortable. Tonight, let's discuss the future in a more relaxed atmosphere."

"Thank you, Mr. President," Michael replied, taking a seat next to Bridget. "This is quite a privilege."

As they settled in, servers appeared, bringing an array of exquisite dishes. The conversation began casually, with the President sharing anecdotes about his experiences in office and Michael talking about his journey in technological innovation.

After a few courses, President Greene steered the conversation toward the matter at hand. "Michael, your advancements in solar technology and medical innovations have already made a significant impact. What are your immediate goals for expanding into the U.S. market?"

Michael leaned forward, his tone serious. "My primary goal is to ensure that our renewable energy solutions, particularly our high-efficiency solar panels, are accessible across the United States. This technology can significantly reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels, paving the way for a sustainable future."

"And how do you envision this integration happening?" asked one of the President's advisors, a sharp-eyed woman named Dr. Patricia Clark.

"We need to establish manufacturing plants within the U.S.," Michael explained. "This will not only create jobs but also ensure that the technology is readily available. Additionally, we are looking into partnerships with existing energy companies to facilitate a smooth transition to renewable sources."

The President nodded approvingly. "That sounds promising. And what about your medical technologies, particularly the Medipod? How do you plan to integrate that into our healthcare system?"

"The Medipod has the potential to revolutionize healthcare," Michael said, his passion evident. "We aim to work with leading hospitals and medical institutions to implement this technology. Our goal is to make advanced, affordable healthcare accessible to all Americans. Since cancer is an expensive disease."

President Greene leaned back, his expression thoughtful. "Indeed, cancer treatment is one of the most significant expenses in our healthcare system."

From there, Michael shared his plans to bring all his technological products to the United States.

As the dinner progressed, the conversation covered various aspects of collaboration, including potential tax incentives for setting up manufacturing plants and streamlining regulatory approvals.

By the time dessert was served, Michael felt a sense of accomplishment. He had not only secured the President's support but also laid the groundwork for a partnership that could transform the energy and healthcare sectors in the United States.

"Mr. Reyes," President Greene said as the servers cleared the last of the dessert plates, "I want to thank you for your time and for the incredible work you're doing. Your innovations have the potential to change the world, and we're excited to support your efforts here in the United States."

"Thank you, Mr. President," Michael replied sincerely. "I appreciate your support and the opportunity to discuss these plans in such a meaningful way."

As they stood to leave, the President added, "We'll have our teams coordinate on the next steps. I'll have you and your partner over there as a security escort back to the airport. I'm sure you will be returning to the Philippines soon."

"That's quite correct, Mr. President," Michael chuckled.

December 1st, 2028. NASA Headquarters. Washington D.C.

Michael Reyes stepped out of the black SUV, the cold December air hitting his face as he made his way toward the entrance of NASA Headquarters.

Accompanying him was a small team of advisors and engineers from his own company, ready to collaborate with the best minds from NASA and NOAA. As they entered the lobby, they were greeted by Dr. Elena Martinez, the lead scientist from NASA, and Dr. Samuel Harris from NOAA.

"Mr. Reyes, welcome," Dr. Martinez said warmly, shaking his hand. "We're excited to finally begin this project with you."

"Thank you, Dr. Martinez. The pleasure is mine," Michael replied, smiling. "I've been looking forward to this."

Dr. Harris nodded in agreement. "Shall we head to the conference room? We have a lot to discuss and coordinate."

Michael and his team followed the scientists down a long hallway, passing various laboratories and offices.

The conference room was spacious, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and large monitors displaying satellite images and schematics.

As everyone took their seats, Dr. Martinez began the meeting. "First of all, I'd like to say that we are thrilled to work on such a groundbreaking project. The Weather Manipulation Satellite has the potential to revolutionize not only weather prediction but also strategic operations in ways we've only dreamed of."

Of course, those personnel didn't know what the true purpose of building the weather manipulation satellite was. Michael felt a pang of pity for the scientists, who were genuinely excited about the scientific and humanitarian potential of the project. They believed they were working towards a future where natural disasters could be mitigated and climate change could be managed more effectively.

He knew that revealing the military applications of the satellite would shatter their idealistic views, but he also understood the gravity of the geopolitical situation. The United States needed every possible advantage in the escalating tensions with China.

"Okay…let's now see the schematics that Mr. Reyes provided."

Michael smiled as he passed a USB stick across the table to Dr. Martinez. "This contains all the detailed schematics and technical specifications for the Weather Manipulation Satellite," he said.

Dr. Martinez plugged the USB stick into a laptop connected to the large monitors. The room's lights dimmed as the screen came to life, displaying intricate diagrams and complex algorithms. The scientists leaned forward, their faces illuminated by the glow of the screens, eagerly absorbing the information.

"As you can see," Michael began, "the satellite employs advanced nanotechnology to disperse specific particles into the atmosphere. These particles, combined with high-energy laser arrays, allow us to manipulate weather patterns."

Dr. Harris nodded, his eyes scanning the schematics. "This all looked theoretical…how can we even build that within a month."

Michael smiled reassuringly. "Oh, don't worry about that," he said confidently. "With the combined expertise of your teams and the resources we have at our disposal, we can turn this theory into reality much faster than you'd expect."

Dr. Martinez looked intrigued. "So, what's our first step?"
