Fortunately, this is a matter for the Star Road Group, and their space department only needs to provide assistance.

And this money is not needed all at once, but the entire project, which can be taken out in stages.

Shen Congwen said curiously: "By the way, how is your ladder operating now, is there a way to raise this money?"

Xiao Qin smiled slightly and said: "Lord Hui Shangshu, although our ladder has only been in operation for twenty-eight days, but just for space tourism, during this time, the number of tourists we have received has reached 1.6 million, of which domestic tourists account for about 800,000 people, adults know that these tourists need to pay the elevator fee if they want to enter the space city, and they need to spend an extra 300,000 yuan to stay on it for a day, and the other consumption above is dozens of times that of the surface, hundreds of times, and the income is very considerable." ”

When Shen Congwen heard this, he had to sigh, there are so many rich people, but if you think about it carefully, if you have money and have the opportunity to go to space, many families will still be willing to take it, especially if the child is half a ticket, if it is herself, she will definitely take the child to see it.

Anyway, it seems that he has not really been up to the Ministry of Aerospace until now, and many officials of the Ministry of Aerospace have never been to the sky, which is not good, and he must find a time to take everyone up to have a look, otherwise the work is not in place.

The annual round-trip for adults in China is 250,000, the number for children under 1.2 meters is 100,000 Tang Yuan, the number of people in China and the subject countries is 900,000, the number of adults is 950,000, and the number of children in other countries is 1 million for adults and 500,000 for children.

With so many people sightseeing, you can imagine how terrifying the benefits are.

Xiao Qin continued: "At the same time, we have also received a large number of orders from the military, the royal family and some private aerospace companies, in addition to the orders of China, subject countries, and even 21 other countries around the world. ”

Shen Congwen said curiously: "Is it convenient to disclose your income, I want to know if your income during this period is enough for the construction of the lunar ladder, I heard Your Majesty say that the lunar ladder is also contracted by your company." ”

Xiao Qin thought for a moment and said, "Where is Lord Shangshu, we need to keep it secret from others, but we don't need to keep it secret from you." ”

"As of one o'clock in the morning today, the elevator fee charged by the space sightseeing layer has reached about 846 billion Tang Yuan, and the number of tourists staying overnight in the sightseeing layer has reached 350,000, you must know that the overnight stay is 300,000 a day, and the longest has been on it for 28 days, from the first day to stay on it, and it has not come down yet, this income is 663 billion Tang Yuan, other consumption income is about 82 billion Tang Yuan, and the total income of the sightseeing layer in these 28 days is 1,591 billion Tang Yuan. ”

"Express delivery and other service orders, because there are different levels of discounts in China, the total income is 260 billion, and the total income currently received abroad is 310 billion, with a total income of 570 billion Tang yuan, which is not counting the more than 200 billion yuan of money that has not yet arrived. ”

Therefore, to sum up, the total revenue brought by the ladder's 28 days of operation is as high as 2,161 billion Tang Yuan. ”

After Xiao Qin finished speaking, there was silence in the venue, and only the sound of the bigwigs of the Ministry of Aerospace swallowing saliva was heard.

Although I knew that the operation of the ladder would be profitable, I didn't expect it to be profitable to this extent, which is too exaggerated.

Although Xiao Qin is calm now, he didn't believe it when he saw these data before, and he was sure after repeated verification.

"You guys are so profitable, it's almost half of my country's GDP after a year of operation. Shen Congwen sighed.

Xiao Qin explained: "The income of the ladder in the early stage depends on these tourists, but after all, the cost is too high, the number of rich people is still limited, you can grit your teeth and come once, but the tourists who can often go to space will definitely be much, so after the future space tourism and so on are stabilized, there will definitely not be such huge profits, and the later stage of the ladder mainly depends on the orders of various countries, as well as the emerging space companies in China." ”

When Shen Congwen and the others heard it, they thought about it carefully, and they were right.

"Anyway, now that you have the money for the Lunar Ladder, then I have nothing to worry about. Shen Congwen smiled and said with relief.

"By the way, I have approached Your Majesty, because of financial problems, and because we will have more advanced spaceships in the future, so Your Majesty will not only continue to produce existing spaceships, or these spaceships will be used as export types in the future, I suggest that you can place an order in the name of the company, not only to speed up the construction of the lunar ladder, but also to monopolize the starry sky passage between the Moon and the water blue star. ”

"Well, at least for the civilian waterway, Your Majesty should agree to be so open-minded, and your group can consider it. Shen Congwen suggested.

It's a win-win-

They are not worried at all that the Starry Sky Road will not be lost, after all, the royal family already has a controlling stake in the Starry Sky Road, plus part of the government's equity, it is more than eighty, what else is there to worry about.

Moreover, there are many ordinary people across the country who invest in it, and the more profitable the Star Road, the more dividends the people will pay.

"I will pass on Master Shangshu's suggestion back to the company, and as for how the above decides, it is not up to me to decide. Xiao Qin said.

Shen Congwen nodded and didn't say anything more, and then everyone discussed other details of the lunar ladder, such as the construction location of the lunar world, which not only needs to shorten the sailing distance between the lunar ladder and the water blue star ladder as much as possible, but also needs to find a suitable position on the surface of the moon, etc., as well as the most labor-saving and safest route from the moon to the water blue star, etc.

The meeting lasted about three hours before it ended.

As soon as the meeting ended, Xiao Qin submitted the content of the meeting and Shen Congwen's suggestions to Li Jue.

The imperial study of Daming Palace.

"Your Majesty, Li Shaofu asks to see you. The messenger said.

"Let him in. Li Quan continued to work without raising his head.

"Minister Li Jue, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live. Li Jue saluted.

"What are you looking for?" asked Li Quan as he put down his pen.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask for. Li Jue said.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Quan became even more interested.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to place an order with the spaceship factory in the name of the Starry Sky Path, so that the spaceship factory can not only make money, but the Starry Sky Road can also have its own spaceship. Li Jue said.

"Interesting, the Star Road wants to have its own spaceship, you are planning to monopolize the shipping route between the water blue star and the moon, this is a huge profit. "Li Quan has been the emperor for so long, and after a little thought, he knows what the other party is paying attention to.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone, and I ask Your Majesty for your support. Li Jue said.

"Tell me, how can you kill three birds with one stone?" Li Quan put down the concerto, took a sip of tea and asked.

Li Jue said Shen Congwen's suggestion and what he thought together: "Your Majesty, with the order, the spaceship factory can continue to make profits, even if we build a space factory in the future, we will have more funds, the second is that the Star Road is also Your Majesty's asset, the Star Road monopolizes the waterway, but it is more convenient to manage, and it can also benefit the people who participate in the shares, and the third is that Your Majesty can invest more money in space exploration." ”

"Well, what you said is not unreasonable, I will consider this matter, you go down first. Li Quan said.

"The minister retired. ”
