Unlike other industries, aerospace is extremely expensive, but it is also very profitable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The United States spent a total of nearly $200 billion on the space shuttle project to compete with the Soviet Union, and the cost of a single launch exceeded $500 million.

In his previous life, Elon Musk could get involved in the aerospace industry when he was less than a billion dollars, and succeeded, and Han Xuan also had the confidence to complete it.

But Musk will never be given a large stake because of a suggestion.

So Han Xuan asked knowingly: "Mr. Musk, you said that you want to cooperate with me to open this company, I want to know how to cooperate, and how do you plan to invest money, or technology?"

Also, how much stake do you want to own?

You should understand that the investment in this industry is not small, and if you throw hundreds of millions of dollars into it, you may not even be able to make a splash, and the company will go bankrupt because of the failure of the rocket launch......"

Musk has neither the technology nor the funds.

He is still living with relatives and has to work to earn money in his spare time, barely enough money to buy a plane ticket back to San Francisco.

Under Han Xuan's playful gaze, Musk said stupidly: "I don't have those."

But I'm confident that I can help this company, I've read all the scientific journals on rockets, and I've learned some rocket manufacturing technology, and the theoretical level is higher than anyone else!"

"Are you sure you're not teasing me, faith isn't enough, Mr. Musk.

You've told me everything you need to do, and now I'm okay to leave you alone. ”

Han Xuan saw his eyes that gradually became frightened, and he felt like he had succeeded in his prank, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he continued:

"It was just a joke.

I think giving you 0.5% of the company's shares is a figure that is acceptable to all of us.

This part of the shares will not be diluted in the future as I inject capital into the company.

If this company can achieve results, I will give you a certain share award, which can reach up to 3% of the company's total shares.

That's quite a lot of money, I don't know if you'd like to accept it?"

No matter how smart and ambitious Elon Musk is, he is now just a hairy kid who has just left school.

The joy on his face had just been expressed, and then he heard Han Xuan say: "In addition, I will give you a position in the company's management, and we will talk about the salary later."

Now this company is just an idea, isn't it, nothing. ”

Elon Musk, who once envisioned the idea proposed, brought himself between 1% and 3% of the company's shares.

Han Xuan's 0.5% was several times less than he expected, but after several encounters, he was no longer as optimistic as before.

What's more, if Han Xuan invests 100 million US dollars in the company, the shares he owns will be worth 500,000 US dollars, which is enough to kill other students who have entered the social work.

Coupled with the management position, it is enough to jump to a successful person, so he clenched his hands with excitement, nodded and replied: "Okay, I agreed!"

To create a space exploration company, this premise was set first, and Han Xuan began to think about other issues.

First of all, I just learned from Elon Musk that the Russian government has a large number of rocket engines, and it is not a simple matter to get their hands on them.

If he only needs one or two, it is possible to buy them through underground channels, but the small number will not have much impact on the space exploration company he is about to start.

If you want to buy it, you must buy it in large quantities, and this requires high-level contact with the Russian government authorities, who should be very short of funds right now, maybe they can buy it with money.

In addition, the most important thing is the aeronautics and astronautics experts of the former Soviet Union, a few years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the countries of the former Soviet Union are still in a state of chaos.

Since last year, there have been military clashes between Russian and Chechen militants, and now they are still in a state of small-scale local war.

According to speculation, the government simply does not have the energy to care about those experts, and when the country's residents are not well fed and clothed, who has the energy to develop science and technology?

At this time, although Ukraine has changed compared with the Soviet Union, the top level of the government has not yet figured out the future path of the country, and it is still continuing the style of the Soviet Union, and has not even promulgated a complete constitution, and the domestic situation is quite chaotic.

It's easy to fish when the water is muddy, and as long as you have money, now it's easy to dig people from there to buy technology.

The time and place for the creation of a space exploration company were already in place, and Han Xuan turned to consider the strength of the U.S. government's support for his company.

But this matter needs to be discussed in detail later, and I am not in a hurry to think about it for the time being, now I have to start a company first, and then the rocket will really be made, as long as it is cheap and safe, I don't have to worry about not getting orders.

Han Xuan asked Musk: "Do you want to go back to school and continue studying?"

The company will be formed soon, and there will be a lot of things to do, and if you really want to engage in this business, you may not have enough time to study. ”

"No, I don't want to go any further, it's a waste of time.

It only takes a few days to go to Stanford University to go through the procedures for a long-term leave of absence, and then you can get to work. ”

Elon Musk saw Han Xuan's decisiveness, and the meeting time was less than half an hour, and he decided to open a company to develop rockets.

While a huge sense of happiness came to me, I felt a little unsure, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked, "Have you really decided to agree?"

"Of course, why lie to you. ”

"Well, I hope you can keep your promise......"

The two chatted for a while and decided to make the company's headquarters in California.

There's Vandenberg Air Force Base, which the government used as a launch site for the space shuttle.

The name of the company was set as SpaceX, which was given by Elon Musk in his previous life.

As for why it is called this, it is simply because of convenience, and the Chinese name is "Space Exploration Technology Company".

After sending off Elon Musk, Han Xuan said to Secretary Dawson: "Did you hear it just now?

Please help me find someone to register this company. ”

Secretary Dawson had been worried that the boss would lose money if he rashly set foot in this unfamiliar industry, and asked tentatively, "It costs a lot of money to study rockets, right?"

"It's okay, it's a long-term process.

I don't need to invest too much money all at once, and I'm okay with ......" (To be continued.) )
