Chapter 141, The Prodigal Liu Yuan
April is the season when the grass grows, the orioles fly, and the spring breeze revives.
April in Ningcheng County is the best season of the year. During this period, there is neither the scorching heat of summer nor the severe cold of winter. At the turn of spring and summer, the sun is warm, the flowers are blooming, and the earth is vast.
It's green and full of vitality.
Here in Ningcheng County, because Xinghai Aerospace is about to conduct its first rocket launch, a large number of tourists are attracted to Ningcheng County to watch the rocket launch.
Watching a rocket launch for free is a rare opportunity.
In Longlin Town, where Xinghai Space Base is located, the entire town has become extremely lively and noisy. A large number of foreign vehicles have parked almost every corner here, and more than ten thousand people have poured into this town.
There are many news media reporters from home and abroad. For them, launching a rocket is undoubtedly a good news material. Especially some foreign news media organizations have prepared copywriting in advance and want to see this rocket.
Launch failure scenario.
There were people who came from surrounding areas to watch the fun. Because the launch day happened to be on a weekend, everyone had time to come and join in the fun and see the rocket launch scene.
There are also many Xinghai Technology employees and their families. How can they miss the launch of a rocket from their company? Naturally, they want to take a good look.
The influx of tens of thousands of people into Longlin Town has made the town crowded and lively. The area surrounding Xinghai Aerospace has become the best viewing spot for rocket launches, which invisibly drives local tourism and consumption.
Nowadays, people no longer like to go to so-called tourist attractions when traveling. The scenery is generally not mentioned, and the services, fees, etc. are still very cheating. Instead, it has gradually become a mainstream to go to places that are not well-known.
Driving your own car, taking your family for a walk, taking a look, appreciating the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, and tasting local specialties is an extremely good way of entertainment.
In addition to these people, there are also a large number of video broadcasters, Internet celebrities and the like who came to Longlin Town early, chose a good location, and prepared to broadcast live here.
Among them is Qian Xia, a classmate of Liu Yuan's high school. She has gone further and further in the field of live broadcasting and video production. While studying in college, she also learned to make videos, and she has also formed her own small team.
I already earned my first pot of gold while still in college.
"Family members, everyone must have seen the rocket standing high behind me."
"This rocket called Giant 1 is the first rocket researched and manufactured by Xinghai Aerospace, and it is also the rocket that will be launched soon."
At the viewing platform outside the launch site, Qian Xia and her small team are starting a live broadcast.
"Why am I so close to the launch site?"
"That's because Liu Yuan, the boss of Xinghai Aerospace, was my classmate in high school, so I was able to come in to the launch site and watch the launch from the closest distance."
"I'm definitely not bragging about this. Family members who often watch my videos should know this. If you don't believe it, you can check out my previous videos."
"Want a signature?"
"Okay, let me see if this old classmate of mine is free later. I'll ask him to come over and say hello to everyone."
Qian Xia is chatting non-stop during the live broadcast.
"Look, everyone, Liu Yuan, whom you have been thinking about so much, is here. He seems to be surrounded by Xia Wei's Mr. Ren and Da Mi's Rebus. All of them are big bosses."
During Qian Xia's live broadcast, Liu Yuan accompanied Mr. Ren, Rebus and others also arrived at the Xinghai Space Launch Center, chatting non-stop while walking.
"Liu Yuan, what is that big project you talked about last time?"
Ren Lao is already very old, but his body and spirit are still good. He still remembers what Liu Yuan said on the last phone call.
"Big project?"
"Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan, we are all old friends. This is a big project, so don't forget me."
When Rebus heard this, he quickly followed suit.
He is very interested in the big projects Liu Yuan mentioned. The projects Liu Yuan does must be big and profitable businesses. Just look at the current business scale of Xinghai Technology.
Now Xinghai Technology's monthly sales have exceeded 500 billion. This is such a huge scale. What's even more terrifying is Xinghai Technology's profit margin. It is estimated that only Xinghai Technology itself knows how terrible the profit is.
"The big project is the aerospace industry in front of us. In the future, I am planning to go to the moon to mine. Do you want to give it a try together?"
Liu Yuan smiled and replied.
"Aerospace industry?"
"Go to the moon to mine?"
When Rebus heard this, he immediately lost interest.
The whole world knows that the aerospace industry is a money-burning thing. It once almost drove Musk, the former world's richest man, out of business. Now Liu Yuan is playing with this rocket again.
He also talked about going to the moon to mine. With Liu Yuan, a prodigal, he might have to invest a lot of money into it. Thinking about his own worth, Rebus shook his head.
Moon mining is still a bit too sci-fi and always feels unrealistic.
"Let's forget about lunar mining. God knows it will only happen in the year of the monkey. If you are involved in other high-tech industries, I will sell the iron to get a piece of it."
Rebus shook his head and said.
"Don't regret it."
Liu Yuan smiled. In fact, Rebus's vision for investment was really bad. Dad Ma once approached him to invest, but he felt that there was no future and he did not invest. Later, Penguin's brother Ma also approached him to invest, and he still felt that
There is no future and no investment.
If he had seized these two opportunities, he would have become the richest man long ago.
Of course, a good person is a good person. Even if he fails to grasp these two investments, he is still a good person and a rich man.
"No regrets, no regrets. In this field of aerospace, I definitely will not regret it."
Rebus nodded solemnly and said.
"Haha~"
When other people nearby heard this, they also laughed.
To be honest, although some people are very optimistic about Liu Yuan, they still lack confidence in the money-burning aerospace field and dare not invest in this field.
This is also a common problem among rich people in Guo. They dare not invest in risky fields, but only dare to invest in fields that can be seen and calculated. Therefore, high-tech fields that require a large amount of investment funds may not necessarily yield results.
An area that few people invest in.
As for the related fields where the Internet is in the limelight, there is a lot of investment, and when you are competing with the vegetable vendors for the last dollar, you will not blink an eye if you pour billions into it.
"Liu Yuan, your space base seems to be a little different from others. It is more like a large airport. There seem to be large factories connected next to it. What are these factories going to be used to produce?"
"This factory is very long!"
The attentive Mr. Ren looked at the entire space base carefully and found that it was very different from the space bases he had seen. The rocket launch pad in front of him was more like a temporary one and was not intended to be used for a long time.
The entire huge launch site is an airport, and there are a large number of large factories around it. These factories are very large and long, and they look like a super large production line, specially used to produce large machinery and the like.
"Used to build aircraft and spacecraft."
Liu Yuan thought for a while and replied.
"You are really generous. With such a huge investment, coupled with these factories, laboratories, research institutes, etc., I am afraid you have spent tens of billions on this aerospace base alone, right?"
When Mr. Ren heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
This Liu Yuan is really a prodigal, he has money and nowhere to spend it.
He is so serious about playing with rockets, and he is preparing to produce aircraft and has built such a huge production and research base.
"After all, almost hundreds of billions have been spent on it now."
"The laboratories here are the most advanced in the world. The wind tunnel laboratory over there alone cost a lot of money."
Liu Yuan also introduced it to everyone.
Listening to Liu Yuan's introduction, everyone couldn't help but call him a prodigal son. This Liu Yuan is really willing to invest money when it comes to high technology. Of course, Liu Yuan also really has money to invest in it.
Hundreds of billions of investments were thrown in without blinking an eye, and this is how we have the aerospace industry base in front of us.
After listening to Liu Yuan's introduction, everyone didn't dare to say that they wanted to play with Liu Yuan. With my small body, I guess it wouldn't be enough to throw it into the water. With Liu Yuan's level of prodigal, I really don't think so.
How many people dare to invest in it?
This is not how you lose money!
One space base alone has cost hundreds of billions to build, and this does not include the huge piece of land in front of us, which was given away for free, as well as these researchers from Xinghai Technology.
There are hundreds of researchers at the Xinghai Aerospace Research Institute alone, studying aerospace power and materials science. These people are basically fresh graduates. Xinghai Technology has offered people an annual salary of 300,000 plus, and also provides
People are divided into houses, and they are given year-end bonuses for dozens of months and so on.
This is too wasteful. It is completely inconsistent with the characteristics of capitalists. Investment and capital do not play this way.
What's more, this is still in the aerospace field. The investment risk is too great. There is a high possibility that it will be wasted, and it is impossible to say that there is any possibility of profit.
Even Musk's Space Exploration Company, which has mastered mature rocket recovery technology, is currently losing money and has no profit at all.
In the space field, it is really difficult to make a profit.
This kind of project belongs to the Guojia level and requires strong Guo power to play. Even the weak Guojia cannot play it and cannot afford it.
