Chapter 0678 Natural Weakness

Gu Yu directly rejected his father's proposal. On the one hand, he has to keep his promise, since he said that he will not seek influence in the imitation moon center, then he has to do what he says, on the other hand, the use of 10,000-ton cargo spacecraft to transport fresh water has always been a loss, if it were not for this method, Gu Yu would have gained a lot of prestige, Gu Yu would have stopped using this method a long time ago.

Since the people of the United States proposed to stop the 10,000-ton cargo spacecraft from supplying water to the lunar center, then Gu Yu can just transfer a few 10,000-ton cargo spacecraft to use them in other places, such as using the 10,000-ton cargo spacecraft to transport ore, and in the construction of the moon, as a means of transportation or transforming it into a manned spacecraft, carrying thousands of people on a round-the-world trip, etc., which is not more profitable than transporting fresh water, and it also does not delay earning prestige. This is tantamount to saying that the people of the United States racked their brains to come up with a move to help Gu Yu reduce losses, and it is too late to thank the people of the United States, as for being angry?

Gu Changsong suddenly felt that he had to sigh that whether it was divergent thinking or openness, he was much worse than his son. But the thought that this was his kind made him just want to laugh proudly. After Gu Changsong asked Gu Yu again when he planned to return to China, he told a few more words and let Gu Yu stay in Ba||Pay attention to your body when you go west.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Changsong showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, asking Gu Chao Technology to stop supplying water to the imitation moon center, this matter is good for Gu Chao technology, but this tone is still held in his heart, because no matter how you look at it, after the people of the United States have mastered the power of the imitation moon center, they will be the first to go to Gu Chao Technology, and this tone is unbearable no matter what.

Gu Changsong immediately asked people to issue a statement on the official website of Gu Chao Technology, thanking the Imitation Moon Center for its decision to stop purchasing fresh water from Gu Chao Technology, and when the contract between the two parties ends, the 10,000-ton cargo spacecraft will be transformed into a global spacecraft, facing the world, recruiting tourists, and traveling around the world.

This statement reached the chairman of the Imitation Moon Center, and the face of this Mi Guoren turned blue, and he realized that he might have played a bad move this time to help Gu Chao Technology solve a trouble. This made him feel the urge to squirt blood, he still underestimated Gu Yu, he knew that Gu Yu would make such an arrangement, he should have investigated it before doing it, but it was too late to say anything now.

The people of the United States were naturally unwilling to control the center of the imitation moon, and the first move they sacrificed was so easy for Gu Yu to dissolve, and they also prepared a series of killing moves, waiting for Gu Yu.

First of all, the Imitation Moon Center imitated the original Gu Yu, released leasing advertisements to the outside world, and was willing to provide aerospace aircraft leasing services to individuals or institutions around the world. The service fee provided by Gu Yu to Mr. Gates and his family and friends is 300 million US dollars for a single person and 100 million US dollars for every 100 kilograms of cargo, and the fee for the imitation lunar center is 200 million Huaxia yuan for a single person to the moon, which is 180 million Huaxia yuan. At the same time, the United States also passed a resolution on the board of directors, requiring all shareholders of the Imitation Moon Center with a shareholding ratio of more than 0.5 percent to give priority to the use of the services provided by the Imitation Moon Center under the same conditions when they choose to go to the moon.

Secondly, the people of the United States also asked the major shareholders to provide talents, set up a launch center and a mining company affiliated to the imitation moon center, and strive to realize the commercial development of the imitation moon center on the moon as soon as possible, and transport helium-3 on the moon back to the earth as soon as possible.

Third, the people of the United States also proposed to increase the intensity of competition for talents on a global scale, and not to allow the outflow of talents.

It can be said that each of these three axes is aimed at Gu Yu's key points.

First of all, to provide aerospace aircraft leasing services, Gu Yu implements a different policy from inside and outside, and he has already provided a service for the Space Research Institute at a price of 200 million Huaxia yuan for a single person round trip, and the whole process is very smooth. Gu Chao Space has begun to negotiate the possibility of reaching a long-term agreement with the Space Research Institute, and now, the people of the United States have released such a move, and it is almost impossible for Gu Chao Space to reach an agreement with the Space Research Institute.

In fact, the cooperation between the Space Research Institute and Gu Chao Space was quite harmonious, but it is impossible for the two sides to say that there is no gap at all.

At the beginning, the Space Research Institute wanted to buy an aerospace aircraft, but Gu Yu opened his mouth and asked for a trillion Huaxia coins, and refused to lower the price. From the director of the Space Research Institute to Zhang Renxuan, there is this pimple in his heart.

On the other hand, Gu Yu wanted to ask for a few retired astronauts from the astronaut brigade of the Space Research Institute or pilots who were not selected for the astronaut brigade, but he could not get them. Gu Yu felt very unhappy, and the Space Research Institute was even more unhappy because of this incident, they thought that Gu Yu had the intention of moving their cake.

Gu Chao Space was able to cooperate smoothly with the Space Research Institute, because the Space Research Institute had no other choice except Gu Chao Space, and when Gu Yu provided the leasing service of the aerospace aircraft, the price quoted was significantly lower than the price quoted to outsiders, which was the basis for cooperation between the two sides.

To say that the Space Research Institute has to use Gu Yu's services, that does not exist, the relationship between the two sides is not iron to that extent, and there is no document or regulation that stipulates that the Space Research Institute must use Gu Chao's space services. Taking a step back, if Gu Chao Space is a state-owned enterprise, or there will be shares in some countries, the Space Research Institute will not say anything.

The problem is that now, the people of the United States are in charge of the Imitation Moon Center, and there is such a preferential price for the shareholders, so that one person can save 20 million Huaxia coins by going back and forth, and a few more people and more goods, then there will be more money left, and the funds of the Space Research Institute are limited, and it is necessary to save a little if you can save a little.

The people who negotiated on behalf of the Space Research Institute and Gu Chao Space demanded that Gu Chao Space also reduce the price, as long as it can be lowered to the same level as the imitation lunar center, and at the same time, the service standard cannot be lowered, then everyone will sign an agreement. If the price is not reduced, then I can only say sorry.

The person in charge of Gu Chao Space has been given clear instructions in advance, if space research has the will to reach a long-term agreement, then it is not unacceptable to appropriately reduce the price, but it cannot be reduced too much, originally cooperating with the Space Research Institute, it will not make any money, and it is good not to lose money, and the right is to contribute to the country. If the Space Research Institute asks for a price reduction that is too harsh, then forget it, Gu Chao Space does not lose money, this is the bottom line, and you can't lose money and make money.

This principle has also been approved by Gu Yu, and it may not be possible to reach an agreement with the Space Research Institute, which will affect Gu Yu's prestige in China, but this impact is a short-term behavior in Gu Yu's view, and in the medium and long term, it is simply impossible for the Space Research Institute to count on the imitation lunar center to complete their lunar landing mission.

Gu Chao Space's categorical refusal made the Space Research Institute very angry, and they all said that as long as the price was reduced, they would sign a contract with you, but you don't cherish it, this friendship boat will overturn, then I'm sorry, let's go to the imitation moon center. For this reason, the Space Research Institute also issued a statement that was not very polite, and it was a compromise, but Gu Chao did not know the meaning of lifting.

Gu Chao Space also issued a statement, without commenting on the attitude of the Space Research Institute, only emphasizing that the choice of the Space Research Institute is respected, and at the same time, emphasizing that because of the rising cost factor, Gu Chao Space will slightly increase the rental price of the space aircraft, and ask for social understanding.

Gu Chao Space not only did not reduce the price, but increased the price, which made the Space Research Institute even more angry and went to negotiate with the Imitation Moon Center instead. Huaxia is the second largest shareholder of the Imitation Moon Center, and the leasing service of the aerospace aircraft provided is ten points cheaper than that of Gu Yu's side, so it is natural to sign an agreement with this side.

The loss of the big customer of the Space Research Institute is a blow to Gu Chao Space, but it is not a big blow, after all, the service provided to the Space Research Institute is not profitable, from a business point of view, the loss of this customer can make Gu Chao Space's profitability much better.

The key customer of Gu Chao Space is a world-class billionaire like Mr. Gates, and it will cost $300 million to send a person like Mr. Gates to the moon and pull it back, and if you count other supplies, the price will be even more considerable.

People like Mr. Gates are also the focus of the Lunar Center. The imitation lunar center is not like Gu Chao Space, there is a difference between inside and outside, whether it is a Chinese, a Mi Chinese, or a European, the use of the aerospace aircraft that imitates the lunar center is the same price. The chairman of the Lunar Imitation Center also personally visited Mr. Gates and lectured Mr. Gates on the policy of the Lunar Imitation Center.

Mr. Gates knew from the beginning that the price provided to him by Gu Yu was far higher than the price provided to the Space Research Institute, but Mr. Gates still chose to pay the money, it was very simple, the service between the earth and the moon, only Gu Yu could provide, and the nature of the monopoly determined the market. But if Mr. Gates has a grudge against Gu Yu, there is no, on the one hand, this is determined by the relationship between supply and demand, and on the other hand, Mr. Gates thinks that it is worth the price to go back and forth between the moon and the earth. You must know that the cost of building an Apollo 20 space shuttle alone is not less than two billion dollars, not to mention other costs.

Mr. Gates expressed his gratitude for the visit of the Imitation Moon Center, and euphemistically said that if he needs to go to the moon in the future, he will consider choosing the Imitation Moon Center, but this time he wants to go to the moon, and he will continue to choose Gu Chao Space.

Naturally, the Lunar Center could not have visited Mr. Gates alone, and almost all other billionaires around the world who were interested and financially capable had received letters from the Lunar Imitation Center. In the letter, the Imitation Moon Center unceremoniously compared the price of the services they provided with the prices provided by Gu Chao Space, and then asked them to recognize who is really good and cheap, and who should be chosen if they have similar needs in the future.

Reactions to this letter were mixed, with some appreciating and some disimpressed. But it is undeniable that when a considerable number of people make similar choices, they first exclude Gu Chao space.

Gu Chao Space reported all kinds of things to the headquarters of the parent company Gu Chao Technology, and also reported to the big boss Gu Yu.

Gu Chao Technology's meaning is to fight a price war with the imitation lunar center, for Gu Chao Space, which has mastered a complete industrial chain, in terms of fighting a price war, it is not afraid of the imitation moon center at all, if the price war is really started, at most three years, the imitation moon center can be completely collapsed. When the time comes, let the people of the United States take their $600 billion to pay as pants in the imitation lunar center.

However, this opinion directly made Gu Yu reject it. He spent a lot of effort to get more than a billion people around the world to become shareholders of the imitation moon center, and in the future, he still wants to harvest the prestige value on these billions of shareholders from time to time, if this is because of the price war, the imitation moon center will collapse, and Gu Yu will not have to cry to death? The economic loss is secondary, and the problem is that the prestige value cannot be lost.

Gu Yu told Gu Chao not to worry, and things were scored on both sides. Perhaps now, the imitation of the lunar center price reduction, will have a certain impact on the leasing business of Gu Chao space, whether it is a country, or institutions, individuals, when they choose to go to space or the moon in the future, they will give priority to the use of the aerospace aircraft of the imitation lunar center, it's okay, this is very good. Since it's cheap over there, let's go for it.

But don't forget, there are several natural weaknesses in the Lunar Center, the first is the lack of tools, the second is that there are too many people, the third is the cost, and the fourth is the human factor.

The first and second two weaknesses are inextricably linked. There are only two aerospace aircraft in the Imitation Lunar Center, and the carrying capacity of one aerospace aircraft is a little more than 13 tons, which determines that every time the aerospace aircraft goes to the moon, the items and personnel that can be carried are limited, and how many of the shareholders of the Imitation Lunar Center are waiting to go to the moon?

The United States is going, is it going to China, is it going to Europe, is it going to Europe, is it going to Lao Maozi, is it going, is it going to Japan?...... Dozens of major state-owned shareholders have similar scientific research tasks, and they alone want to snatch the carrying capacity of two aerospace planes, which is enough for them to fight for their heads. If you add to this those billionaires who have similar aspirations, the carrying capacity of the imitation lunar center can be said to be seriously insufficient.

If you want to solve this problem, you have to solve the problem of insufficient means of transportation, and at this stage, the measure that can be taken by the imitation moon center is to purchase the space plane of Gu Chao Space. And will Gu Chao Space sell the space plane to the imitation moon center cheaper?
