Chapter 0506 can't afford it

Gu Yu had been reluctant to use a cargo spaceship as a tool to transport fresh water, after all, it was not cost-effective from any point of view. Gu Yu's worries are not unreasonable, he originally only arranged one cargo spaceship, and later increased to two, although he can also gain some prestige points, but he can't meet the consumption, this is only from the perspective of prestige points, if you consider it from an economic point of view, then the loss will be even more.

Gu Yu didn't expect that when he increased the number of cargo ships, the reputation value collected turned out to be a geometric multiplier, rather than a simple multiplication, which made the reputation value he collected greatly increased, and it was already able to meet the increase in the exchange of cargo ships and fuel rods. This made Gu Yu have a bold idea, whether he could exchange for more miniature anti-gravity engines, and then use them as a basis to produce a large number of cargo spaceships and passenger spaceships, and then apply them to all aspects of Gu Chao's technology.

Perhaps the prestige earned in this way is relatively limited, and it can't be compared to the prestige he gained when he won the Nobel Prize or developed the Kra Canal, but it is better to be stable and long-term. Just like the various services and products provided by his Guchao Technology, they are all indispensable channels for him to gain prestige.

Gu Yu directly ordered Gu Chao to increase the production of cargo spacecraft and passenger spacecraft, and at the same time he also ordered the development of large cargo spacecraft and passenger spacecraft.

Gu Yu's order was strictly confidential and was not disclosed to the outside world, fortunately he did not announce it to the outside world, if it was announced, it is estimated that he would not want to be idle.

Gu Yu arranged more than 20 cargo spaceships to Huaxia at once, and in the follow-up time, he sent one or two new ships over every once in a while.

Up to now, Gu Yu's cargo spaceship has not been short, in the second Falklands War, the army hired several cargo spaceships, which played a big role in the whole war, that was the first time that the world realized the extraordinary power of cargo spaceships, compared to the Mi Guoyan Hercules transport aircraft and Lao Maozi's heavy strategic transport aircraft are only stronger than weak. After that, Gu Yu used this kind of cargo spaceship, which is the envy of the world, for such a trivial matter as transporting fresh water, but many people were surprised, but then the cargo spacecraft appeared in large quantities, and once again let people see the power of this kind of cargo spaceship.

However, people are envious, but there are very few countries that can really use cargo spaceships, except for Gu Yu himself, only Ah Gen Ting and Ba ||Two countries in the West. Among them, Ah Gen Ting tasted the sweetness of the cargo spaceship and couldn't stop, and Ba ||The western country is a little compulsive, and it is a bit of a compulsionIn order to maintain a good relationship with Gu Yu, the Western Military had to use it.

In addition to these two countries, even Huaxia did not use it. It's not that Gu Yu doesn't give it to the Huaxia military, but the conditions put forward by Gu Yu are relatively harsh, that is, whether the cargo spacecraft is rented or not sold, and no matter who leases it, no matter who leases it, no cargo spacecraft can be inspected in any way, and even the connection is strictly restricted. Gu Yu did this to protect the secrets of the cargo spaceship, but in the eyes of some people, it became an unsafe factor.

In the past, there were only a few cargo spaceships in Gu Yu, and they flew in the sky, which was what it looked like. But now there are not a few, but dozens, and in this case, the nature is completely different.

The first to express concern about this problem is some scientific research institutions and large companies in China, they sometimes need high-speed means of transportation, in the past, are using civil airliners or high-speed rail, but the use of civil airliners or high-speed rail is not without drawbacks, or can not be arranged according to their own schedule, must obey the flight time of civil airliners and high-speed rail, in addition, that is, civil airliners or high-speed rail are far away from their institutions or companies, from them to transport things to the airport, and then from the airport to the destination, which will increase a lot of risks。

The advent of cargo spaceships made them realize that this was a good option, which could completely replace their existing transportation methods, direct point-to-point delivery, safe and efficient.

As for Gu Yu's condition of only renting and not selling, it is not a matter at all in their eyes, they don't need to buy cargo spaceships, they pay more attention to privacy, safety and speed.

After Gu Chao Technology summarized these problems, they were handed over to Gu Yu, and Gu Yu asked him to make a decision. These things are still relatively controversial in the management of Guchao Technology, and the focus of the dispute is the issue of cost. A guy as big as a cargo spaceship, if he only transports a few kilograms or even a few taels of things every time he goes out, then he can't even keep his underwear?

Fortunately, Gu Changsong knows that his son has great ability and can turn decay into magic, and things that are not profitable in the eyes of others may be able to turn stones into gold here in Gu Yu and become a new profit growth point for Gu Chao Technology. So, he simply pushed these things to his son to deal with.

After Gu Yu looked at it, he just smiled and made a decision. He wants to engage in point-to-point transportation here, and he doesn't have to use cargo spaceships, he can also use the series of aircraft produced by Gu Chao Flight. Although these planes are not capable of transporting hundreds of tons of cargo at a time like cargo spaceships, there is no problem in transporting a few tons of cargo at a time. Moreover, these planes, like cargo spacecraft, can take off and land vertically, and can fully undertake the transportation task from the starting point to the point.

As for the issue of fees, he can completely formulate a standard of fees according to the actual situation, and whoever can afford it will provide services to whomever he can. If he can't bear it, he can only say sorry.

Gu Yu told his father Gu Changsong about his decision, Gu Changsong immediately took advantage of the topic, he proposed to simply set up a logistics company, Gu Chao Technology is still very advantageous in this regard, and the means of transportation are absolutely incomparable to other logistics companies, and Gu Chao Technology is now actually involved in logistics services, just like the points mall, for those VIP customers to provide services, you need the points mall to do its own logistics.

Gu Yu naturally had no objection to Gu Changsong's proposal, he asked his father to look at it, whether it was to build a logistics company by himself or spend money to acquire a ready-made logistics company.

After getting Gu Yu's approval, Gu Changsong's eyes suddenly lit up, don't look at him as Gu Yu's Laozi, the chairman of Gu Chao Technology, but Gu Chao Technology's territory expansion over the years is basically done by Gu Yu, Gu Yu is like a commander who lives behind the scenes, he points there, he, who is Lao Tzu, has to lead people to charge into battle and expand the territory for Gu Chao Technology.

Gu Changsong complained about Gu Yu's son, but he couldn't say it, but he was still a little depressed in his heart, now it's okay, Gu Yu asked him to do this, if it is done, it is enough to show that he can also make his own contribution to the expansion of Gu Chao Technology's territory, and he will be able to straighten his waist in the future.

Because of this, Gu Changsong attached great importance to this matter, personally dispatched elite soldiers, formed a team, and began to prepare for the establishment of an express company. He has submitted takeover offers to several major domestic express companies, demanding that they acquire 100% of each other's equity. For a time, the country's express delivery industry was in a hurry, exclaiming that the wolf was coming.

Gu Changsong stirs up trouble in the express logistics industry, Gu Yu tosses his father casually, if this thing is done, whether it is for Gu Chao Technology, or for him personally, or for the general public, it is a good thing, and he is optimistic.

After dealing with the requests of those large companies and scientific research institutions, Gu Yu ushered in an opponent that he had to treat carefully, that is, the Huaxia military. Gu Yu's cooperation with the military has a long history, and he has always had deep respect for his soldiers.

This time, the military looked at the dozens of cargo spaceships flying in the sky, and finally couldn't sit still, they just communicated briefly before, hoping that Gu Yu could provide some cargo spaceships for the military to use, but after learning about the harsh conditions set by Gu Yu, they stopped the conversation in this regard. The military originally thought that Gu Yu's technology was not mature enough, and the manufacturing cost of this thing was definitely not a small number, Gu Yu could build a few ships, that is, it was the top of the sky, but they didn't expect that Gu Yu made this thing is no different from dumplings, and it is dozens of ships if it is not spoken, if this is integrated, what a big force it will be, if the military continues to turn a blind eye, it will be dereliction of duty.

This time, the military's appetite and determination are very great, and I hope that Gu Yu can sell all these cargo spaceships to them, and the purchase price can be negotiated, as long as it is reasonable. Their condition is that Gu Yu must completely and completely hand over the control of the cargo spacecraft to them, and it is definitely not possible to only rent and not sell, this involves national security, and there is no room for bargaining.

In addition, the military also put forward a condition that they thought Gu Yu could not resist, that is, they could coordinate in the middle and let the Huaxia Railway Corporation make concessions to Gu Yu and deliver fresh water to the No. 2 Pharmaceutical Factory at a price lower than the market price.

Gu Yu shook his head directly, when he found out that transporting fresh water with a cargo spaceship would not make him lose his prestige, he had no plans to transport fresh water by rail, and the conditions of the military were no longer attractive to him. As for the military buying his cargo spaceship, whatever he asks, it will be even less attractive, on the one hand, the military can't really agree to the price he offers casually, it has to be the price they think is reasonable, on the other hand, Gu Yu has long passed the time when he is short of money, and now what he lacks is prestige, not money. If the military accepts, he can even donate $18 billion to the military so that the military can use it to purchase 20 transport planes in large quantities, and not to fight the idea of his cargo spaceship.

Gu Yu's attitude was so resolute, to the surprise of the military, the military also made up their minds this time to get these cargo spaceships, they began to increase the code layer by layer, they even said that as long as Gu Yu handed over the cargo spacecraft to them, they could apply to the above, so that Gu Yu could enjoy the same treatment as a lieutenant general, which is almost the tip of the pyramid in the military, a general one level higher than the lieutenant general, in the Chinese army, the number of active duty, not even twenty, in addition to these dozen generals, it is a lieutenant general.

In order to get this batch of cargo spaceships, the military not only promised Gu Yu a lot of conditions, but also moved them with affection and reason, making Gu Yu a little embarrassed.

Gu Yu was also helpless, so he could only take a step back from the original conditions, that is, he could sell these cargo spaceships to the military in a joint-stock manner, and he only retained one percent of the equity of these cargo spaceships, and the rest were the military's. Normally, the daily management and operation of these cargo spacecraft can be handed over to the military, but all the actions of these cargo spacecraft, as long as there is a possibility of technology leakage, then Gu Yu can exercise a veto power, and the military must respect Gu Yu's right and cannot deprive it at any time and for any reason.

This is Gu Yu's final bottom line, if the military does not agree, he has no choice.

The military began to discuss Gu Yu's conditions, and finally agreed, the attraction of cargo spaceships to them was too great, and it was okay to make some appropriate concessions. The two sides immediately began formal negotiations, but when it came to the price of the cargo spacecraft, it still surprised the military representatives of Huaxia, and Gu Yu's offer was a cargo spaceship, priced at three billion US dollars.

The transportation capacity of the C17 Hercules transport aircraft of the United States is 100 tons, and the selling price to the allies is two or three hundred million US dollars, and the carrying capacity of Gu Yu's cargo spacecraft is five or six hundred tons.

From the bottom of his heart, Gu Yu is not going to make money, a three-billion-dollar ship, and he really doesn't have much. However, this offer is far beyond the psychological expectations of the military, and they feel that it is too expensive to afford.
