Xia Yang's guess was correct. The capital of Spur was very interested in the rocket project.

The satellite positioning system and rocket projects were quickly approved within a week, and Lawson and Frank also followed.

Xia Yang invited the two of them to sit down on the sofa, and Bai Yuxue brought them coffee briskly.

"What are the conditions for joining the rocket project?"

As soon as he sat down, Lawson couldn't wait to ask.

The capital of Spur knows that their rocket technology is not on the market at all, so if they want to join Xia Yang's rocket project, they must pay a certain price.

Xia Yang was secretly proud that the fish was caught.

But he did not answer, but first asked, "What is your purpose in joining the rocket project?"

Frank looked at Xia Yang angrily, knowing it was intentional.

"You said that?" Lawson asked with the same glare.

Xia Yang nodded, "I understand. Your ultimate goal in joining the rocket project is to weaponize rockets and use rockets as missile carriers. I'm right."

Neither Lawson nor Frank answered, and both stared, meaning that they knew it and kept saying it!

However, Xia Yang just pretended not to see it and continued, "If your purpose is to use the rocket as a missile carrier, then there is no need to join my rocket project. You know that my purpose in entering the rocket launch field is for civilian use, to send satellites into space.

, serving all mankind.”

Xia Yang sounded great and selfless, and Bai Yuxue suppressed her laughter and retreated, otherwise she would have laughed rudely.

Bai Yuxue left the office, and Lawson finally became impatient, "Okay, you've been laying the groundwork for so long, you can tell the terms."

Frank also raised his wrist and pretended to look at his watch, which meant that everyone was very busy. He urged Xia Yang not to waste time and to use less foreshadowing and fanfare. If he wanted to kill someone, he could just kill him. Who said they were not skilled enough?

The Sper Military Department was interested in the rocket project, so Xia Yang would of course have to kill him severely. He wanted to lay the groundwork so that Lawson and Frank would be happy when they were killed, but unfortunately they were impatient.

In this case, Xia Yang was not polite, "If you want to join my rocket project and share the results, the conditions are very simple. You will bear 40% of the rocket research and development funds. I will use the rocket body manufacturing technology and rocket engine.

Rocket propellant and other technologies are shared with you, but of course these technologies can only be used by you."

Rockets sound high-end, but in fact the structure is very simple. The key parts are three parts. The long body of the rocket, especially the arrow part, has the highest technical content and must withstand high temperatures.

There is also a rocket engine, which, needless to say, provides huge thrust for the rocket.

Finally, there is the rocket propellant, which is very critical. From the early solid propellants to the current chemical liquid propellants, the propellant used in the Masco rocket is liquid methane, combined with liquid oxygen.

Rockets must carry oxygen-containing chemicals such as liquid oxygen, because there is no oxygen in space. This is why airplanes cannot fly into space, because the engines used by airplanes require oxygen, and rockets can only enter space with their own liquid oxygen.

In addition to these cores, the rocket guidance and control system is also the core, but civilian rockets are naturally different from military rockets, so this allowed the capital of Sper to develop its own.

Xia Yang's attack was a ruthless one. According to the plan, the investment in Laisuo rocket project was 10 billion U.S. dollars, and he would bear 40% of it. Then the capital of Spur would have to spend 4 billion U.S. dollars to join Xia Yang's rocket project.

In addition, even if it spends 4 billion US dollars to obtain rocket technology, the capital of Spur has no ownership rights, only the right to use it, which can only be used for its own use, cannot be leaked, and cannot be traded.

This is the unequal treaty caused by technological inequality.

This situation would not occur if the technologies were not very different. For example, Xia Yang and Dai Meng cooperated to develop stealth technology. The research and development funds were half of the family, and the results were shared. Xia Yang fully owned the ownership of the research and development results and could sell them if he wanted.

Xia Yang's conditions are very harsh, but Frank and Lawson have no choice. As long as they have some technical achievements on the rocket, the conditions will not be so harsh.

"We can undertake the research and development of some branch projects, such as rocket propellant research and development, engine testing, etc., so can we bear less, for example, how about 30% of the research and development costs."

In the end Frank finally spoke up and fought for it.

Xia Yang smiled and shook his head, "Frank, I'm sorry. We don't need coolies to ask for it. Besides, you know that my satellite positioning system and rocket projects only have five years, so I can't wait for you."

Xia Yang couldn't stand the low efficiency of the Spur capital.

Of course, this is a common problem with capital-led projects.

Like the U.S. Space Agency, a rocket recovery technology has exposed low efficiency and waste of funds.

This may also be the reason why the U.S. capital has strongly supported private rocket launches or space companies like Musk and Bezos.

Seeing that Lawson and Frank were still hesitant and undecided, Xia Yang lost his patience and said, "Don't be dissatisfied. Think about how much money the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration spends on the space field. It continues to invest tens of billions of dollars every year. It has been spent so far.

You have spent tens of billions of dollars, even if 1% of it is spent on rocket research and development, it is still tens of billions of dollars, and you only spend four billion dollars to get the most advanced rocket technology. You are not satisfied with taking advantage of it.

.”

The United States has always ranked first in the world in terms of spending and investment in the space field. It invests tens of billions of dollars every year, exceeding the sum of other countries.

What Xia Yang said was true. In addition, Lawson and Frank knew very well that it sounded like cooperation, but the real situation was that they spent money to buy technology from Xia Yang, and if they hadn't taken advantage of the local Sper, even if they spent money,

Xia Yang may not sell technology to them.

And that would be the case, if it weren't for the purpose of getting some funds and thanking the capital of Sper for its continued support.

Xia Yang would rather cooperate with Dimon than with the capital of Sper. Unfortunately, he entered the field of satellites and rockets to compete with the United States, so American companies such as Dimon were immediately excluded.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Happy cooperation!"

Frank finally made up his mind, stood up and shook hands with Xia Yang to reach a cooperation. After all, this was the first time that Xia Yang was willing to let them participate in cooperation.

Who wouldn't be eager to acquire those top-notch technologies, and the capital of Spur is equally eager, but unfortunately, Xia Yang won't let them touch them at all. Firstly, the skills are not equal, and secondly, the skills are not equal. After all, no one is interested in bringing in new people.

“A pleasure to work with!”

With four billion US dollars in hand, Xia Yang finally showed a smile. Lawson and Frank both shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Xia Yang's smile was really expensive, as it cost four billion US dollars.

"We bear 40% of the research and development costs, but our people must participate in rocket development."

Lawson made a request. Even if you spend money to buy technology, it is good to learn more technology.

Given the relationship between the three of us, making some small requests is a trivial matter that doesn't matter.

Xia Yang simply agreed, "Yes, you have spent money, so you are naturally allowed to participate. However, the Laisuo R&D team will be divided into groups according to ability, and your people must obey the arrangement."

Xia Yang first stated that people in the Spur capital must obey the arrangements, otherwise it would be too much to want to participate in the research and development of rocket engines without even understanding the principles of rocket engines.

This principle is very simple and reasonable.

Lawson and Frank both had no objections and nodded in agreement. They thought that the people sent to ask for the money should be carefully selected. Otherwise, if their skills are not good enough, even if they join Xia Yang's rocket project team, they will only be reduced to coolies and do nothing.

You can't learn anything by doing some hard work like testing.

The general direction of the cooperation was agreed upon by the three of them, and the remaining minor details were naturally left to the people below to discuss.

"The rocket project is our first time working together. I thought how about holding a press conference to celebrate!"

The cooperation was negotiated, Xia Yang suddenly suggested with a smile.

Lawson and Frank suddenly showed strange smiles. Neither of them were fools. They understood the meaning of Xia Yang's press conference as soon as they heard it. This was a confrontation with the United States.

If you threaten me with GPS satellite positioning, I will develop it myself and compete with you.

"I think this is a good idea."

Frank laughed and said that the United States was threatening GPS, and Frank, as a soldier, had long been unhappy.

Lawson also smiled and said, "I'll arrange it."

"Okay, I'll wait for your notification!"

Just as Lawson and others guessed, Xia Yang specially held a press conference. The purpose was to tell the United States that without GPS satellite positioning, he could not only develop it himself, but also launch it himself.

After everything was settled, the three of them chatted for a while, and then Lawson and Frank took their leave.

Since he fully understood Xia Yang's purpose, after returning, Lawson released the news that Xia Yang was going to hold a press conference and quickly arranged the press conference.

The venue of the press conference is directly set in the dedicated press conference hall in the capital of Spur, which is definitely good enough.

Come and ask for a press conference!

As a result, the entire Sper media, as well as the media in other countries, became a sensation.

You should know that neither Li Ao nor Laisuo, the two giant companies, have ever accepted interviews from the media, and have never held any press conferences.

In particular, the defense of Kuwait has long made Solo weapons world-famous.

I don’t know how many media want to interview this emerging arms giant.

The most important thing is that the legendary Boss Xia personally attended or hosted this press conference.

You must know that Xia Yang, the business tycoon who single-handedly founded Li Ao, Laisuo and other companies, knows how many media want to interview him.

Unfortunately, Xia Yang still keeps a low profile as he does in China, never accepts interviews, and has never appeared in the media, so he appears to be very mysterious.

This only made the outside world more curious.

There was even a well-known beautiful reporter in Spur who once said that if Xia Yang was willing to accept her interview, she would be willing to be Xia Yang's lover for a year.

However, such words only attracted countless people to ridicule. Shameless Bichi, it was not clear that she wanted to be Xia Yang's lover by shouting from a distance.

Of course, Xia Yang wouldn't pay attention to this kind of thing. But he couldn't help but be laughed at by Blanche, Elaine and the others. Sometimes he would deliberately pretend to be a beautiful reporter to interview Xia Yang. If Xia Yang didn't accept the interview, he wouldn't touch her. Xia Yang was so angry that he even wanted to give it to that beauty.

A little lesson for journalists.

Lawson moved quickly.

On the third day of the cooperation with Xia Yang, everything was arranged for the press conference.

The media who received the invitation came in advance.

There is no shortage of major media outlets in Spur, and even more media from other countries. More than 200 reporters filled the spacious press conference hall to the brim. Many reporters had no place to sit and could only stand.
