“In the first stage, the Government of Japan has provided a large amount of official development assistance (ODA) for infrastructure in Đà Nẵng City and central provinces, including the Đà Nẵng Port upgrade, Hải Vân Tunnel construction, the North-South Expressway construction (Đà Nẵng-Quảng Ngãi Section), and others. In the second stage, based on the improved infrastructure, Japanese companies have increased investment in Đà Nẵng City and neighboring provinces.

On 1st march 2025, I will launch my own platform for businesses to share their goals, from the top of mount Everest. The goals have to have a relationship with carbon footprints from the operation point. The operation point can be the building of any type of property, any type of cruise ship, and any new / refurbished 5* hotel project, any aviation business, and any road/rail transport project. The platform will be for a project or projects that has a finance need of a minimum £$€1,000,000,000 which we will offer under our 25 year PPA, so you don't need to borrow any monies, as we will give you it under a 12 month moratorium, and then turn the debt into a equity investment, within the 12 months moratorium, if the project can be completed within a further 36 months, from the end of the 12 month moratorium. Needless to say this platform is for mega companies and also mega/micro countries. We will support fossil fuel projects, if the fossil fuel is not for any combustion engine, oil has a greater requirement in a million other needs, this world cannot live without. Any company or country who wants to come and join the 25th century, in the 21st century, welcome aboard.
