Simon spent three hours at Stanford University's 3D-Miracle company, watching a small 3D metal printer it had developed make an aluminum teacup, and then convening a meeting of the 12-person company owners to discuss the next steps for 3D-Miracle.

The goal is very clear.

Development of a large-scale 3D printer that can print rocket parts.

One of the difficulties is to ensure the precision of the 3D printer while increasing the scale, and the large rocket parts may weigh several tons, but the machining accuracy is at the micron level, which is a big challenge.

Fortunately, it is not directionless.

At this stage, the operation accuracy of industrial robots produced by many high-tech companies has also reached the micron level, and the team can try to learn from them, or directly entrust the research and development of auxiliary robots.

On the other hand, 3D printers are needed to print various aviation materials.

The principle of 3D printing is to cure the material powder by laser sintering.

Cutting-edge aerospace alloys, both melting point and hardness are not comparable to ordinary daily aluminum alloy materials, 3D-Miracle's existing equipment can only complete the printing of low melting point aluminum alloy and other materials, so further research and development is required.

At the end of the more than two-hour meeting, Simon agreed to a complete budget plan requested by Brian Dyche, the founder of 3D-Miracle, on the condition that the team must develop a large 3D printer that can be used to create aerospace parts within one year, and in addition to funding, Westeros Systems will also be responsible for recruiting experts in related fields from all over the world in the coming year, including mergers and acquisitions of other companies or patents in the field of 3D printing if necessary.

While he is not stingy with the necessary investments, Simon is not a big deal.

Different from the hot Internet, because the application field has been narrow, there are many teams around the world to develop 3D printing, but basically few companies are having a good time.

Coupled with the use of an anonymous proxy team to initiate acquisitions, it will not cost much to get these technologies.

Just like 3D-Miracle, Simon only spent $13 million to acquire this company, the main thing is that although 3D-Miracle has come up with a product, it can't be used commercially at all, who would spend $100 to buy an aluminum alloy cup that can be bought for $5 in a mall?

As a result, 3D-Miracle, a small company founded five years ago to raise development funds due to the rise of the new wave of technology in Silicon Valley, has actually burned $6 million in several venture capital funds in five years.

Westeros' agency team bought 100 percent of the company for $13 million, and the return of a few companies with a stake of about 70 percent was only 50 percent when they exited, an average of 10 percent per year for five years, which is only a little stronger than the return on investing in some high-yield junk bonds.

Maybe there will be some news that will flow out next, but the entire 3D printing field is still a 'buyer's market'.

Whether it is three companies such as SpaceX or many companies such as 3D-Miracle as an affiliate, Simon's investment idea is the same, which is to reduce costs as much as possible at the squeeze level, so only Simon squeezes others, and others don't want to benefit from Simon unless they show their due results.

In addition to the positive case of SpaceX in his memory, Simon's main reason for this decision was because of another company in the original space-time, Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin.

Many people don't know that Blue Origin, which is also dedicated to space exploration, was founded two years before SpaceX.

And it's definitely a lot of money.

Whatever you want, you have everything.

However, when SpaceX has become a new hegemon in the field of spaceflight, and even succeeded Boeing Loma, who has lost the ability to land on the moon, to implement the US moon landing program in the new century, Bezos's Blue Origin has not even achieved the ability of the rocket to enter orbit.

There may be a variety of reasons for this, but one thing Simon is convinced of is that the fate of the two companies is as common as he remembers.

Born in sorrow, died in peace.

Therefore, no matter how important you are in your heart, for the SpaceX companies in your hands, Simon's first rule is not to give any of them a 'happy' working environment, if you feel that you can't do it, get out, if you want a high salary beyond your own value, get out, if you can't complete the planned task and there is no suitable reason, get out.

Even if some teams don't live up to Simon's expectations, he doesn't mind disbanding the entire team and starting all over again.

In the coming years, Simon will give many people a taste of how tyrants are made.
