I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

Back at the company, Lin Ju rummaged through the room of the R\u0026D department looking for any technology with money-making potential.

"RX01 data bus? Androv, what else can this do besides rockets?"

"Aircrafts can also be used, especially future high-performance fighter planes with multiple electronic equipment, but I don't recommend you to take advantage of it. There are too few military orders, and civilian cars and civil aviation cannot use this thing."

"What about this? Rocket recovery control system? Can it be used in intelligent driving?"

"Well...theoretically its learning algorithm has great potential, but if it is to be transformed into this aspect, the investment cost will be at least 300 to 500 million."

"Ceramic insulation tiles?"

"It's thermal insulation effect is very good, but I'm afraid it costs 4,000 yuan a piece and I can't sell it."

"Hiss~ Space docking composite radar ranging system?"

"I'm afraid the trajectory of a car is much slower than that of a spacecraft."

"..."

After more than half of Xinyuan's technology library, Lin Ju found that there were quite a lot of powerful technology reserves, but there were basically none that could be turned into civilian products to make money, or they were far from what he expected.

Entering other industries? It doesn't seem to work. Xinyuan does not have unique skills in the professional field, nor does it have the ability to foresee, so it is better not to get involved with those who are engaged in finance.

As for buying Bitcoin, although it is a shortcut for reborn people to get rich, Lin Ju doesn't like this thing now. Although old horses can speculate in Dogecoin, good entrepreneurs in China are somewhat useless if they don't speculate in coins.

Invest in short videos? It's a good idea, but that's at least after 2016.

Androv watched Lin Ju write and draw on the paper, blacking out a large section of content from time to time, and finally couldn't help but say:

"Boss, we shouldn't always think about making these hard-earned money. The investment is too big and it's not our specialty."

Lin Ju raised his head and looked at Androv, who had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a beard:

“If you don’t make their money, then whose money will you make?”

“Whoever has money earns whose money”

"How do you make money from rich people? I don't raise money."

Androv slapped his thigh, stood up and brought a small wooden model of the H1 space shuttle.

"Which one is better, the Alliance spacecraft or the Shenzhou spacecraft? Which one is more advanced?"

"Of course it's the space shuttle, and this space is much larger."

“In 2001, Denis Tito traveled to the International Space Station for eight days aboard the Lucia Soyuz spacecraft for a fee of US$20 million.

Ami was very dissatisfied with Lucia's behavior, and Tito was trained as a grandson by Ami's astronauts. I later read it in great detail in the archives.

Our space shuttle can stay in space for 24 hours, has a cargo bay for viewing, and can even sit and drink coffee. It is more comfortable than a spaceship, and it is specially designed for tourism. How much should we charge for such a flight experience? "

Lin Ju made a comparison and found that Dennis was Lucia's companion to the space station. He could specialize in space tourism. Considering that Dennis was an eight-day tour of the space station, he thought for a while and stretched out a finger:

"I think it should be this number no matter what."

"Ten million? That's the cost!" Androv shook his head hard, slammed the model on the table, and then stretched out three fingers handsomely:

"Thirty million dollars, no discount! Rich people who can afford ten million dollars to go to space don't care about spending another twenty million dollars! Then the commander will still have a straight face, as long as the rich people want to touch something , I have to say in an authentic Tieling accent: What are you looking at! Beier has face."

"Ah, just to let people go up and walk around and get scolded, you charge 30 million US dollars, more than 200 million?"

Lin Ju thought for a while. The estimated cost of Xinyuan 2 to launch H1 is 48 million per shot. The manufacturing cost of H1 is just over 200 million. The total cost of the entire mission is 250 million, but only one person is needed to recover the entire cost. ?

Androv continued to fan the flames:

"The bottom of the H1 space shuttle has a docking port. According to the technology we have mastered, it is completely possible to create a cabin that can operate in orbit for a long time. The maximum diameter is 5 meters, the empty weight is about 15 tons, and the internal volume can reach 70 to 80 cubic meters, exclusively for tourism.

Because it does not carry scientific research facilities, the cost is about 30 million. To stay in such a cabin for 7 days, an extra 20 million US dollars is not too much, right? "

Is it expensive to go to space and enjoy a 7-day tour in a large space for US$50 million? Not expensive at all!

You must know that inflation is not as high as it was more than ten years ago, but it is actually very cost-effective.

If you send two tycoons at a time, the shipping fee alone will be 700 million, and you can recover all the costs at once and earn two more H1s!

Lin Ju took a deep breath, tremblingly fumbled for his cell phone and dialed Cai Yuanfa's number:

"Uncle Cai, in addition to investment institutions, have some individual investors approached us to invest?

Okay, please list for me all the individuals who have provided more than 20 million U.S. dollars in funding, and ask me if you can come for the 7-day space tour? "

…

"Kongcha wants to exchange shares with me? With $1 billion in financing and 10% equity, you still want me to be the CEO? Is Lao Ma crazy? I won't go if I don't go."

Lin Ju hung up the phone and took a sip at the phone.

Cai Yuanfa just told him that Lao Ma actually contacted him and wanted to use Kongcha's shares and funds in exchange for cross-shareholding and Lin Ju's concurrent appointment as Kongcha's CEO.

This is a waste of money! Lao Ma's ambition is too outrageous.

However, in addition to Lao Ma, two giants, Penguin and Ari, have also expressed their investment intentions many times, but they are not very interested in the Rockets. It’s just that giant companies habitually meddle in one thing and the other, and this is the case with all those engaged in the Internet. .

Lin Ju really wanted to take out the money from the two horses, that is, to trick the two people into traveling in space, but the PPT was not ready yet and had to be postponed for a few days.

In the past few days, he also talked to Professor Tang Weitian on the phone and learned about the big turn of the space agency, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

In the previous life, Lao Ma's Falcon 9 was continuously recycled successfully, and the development of the subsequent Long March series of rockets was completely completed. There was no need for modifications, and the space agency only studied how to reuse the two subsequent super rockets.

But now that several projects are still immature and can still be modified, the space agency is turning around and rushing towards reusability with extremely high efficiency.

As for whether they can succeed? Lin Ju felt that China's national strength would definitely work.

After all, the reusable rocket itself is not only capable of cheating, but without a control system, it is hard to say whether it will explode like an old horse.

Moreover, another characteristic of Huaguo Aerospace is that its production capacity is not high. It usually takes a year to produce a rocket, with a maximum of two or three rockets. It is hard to say how long it will take to explode.

Of course, it is difficult to say whether the space agency will propose such strange routes as rope net recovery in previous lives and core-stage booster recovery as a whole. What if other routes are feasible?

In any case, China Aerospace has embarked on a completely different path, and it is estimated that there will be considerable changes in the rocket configuration in the future.

The top priority now is to make money and trick Kaizi into taking a space shuttle.

On October 14, the first-stage rocket of Xinyuan-1B was pulled to the launch site again.
