Shishahai Courtyard, Jiang Hui rarely got home from work at seven o'clock, and sat in the living room watching the news, with Bai Xue peeling fruit on the side.

"At 8:53 this morning, China successfully launched the 'Fengyun-2'D meteorological satellite into the predetermined orbit with the 'Long March-3A' carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The Fengyun-2D meteorological satellite can carry out continuous meteorological monitoring of the earth around the clock, obtain daytime visible cloud maps, daytime infrared cloud maps and water vapor distribution maps of the earth's space environment, collect and relay meteorological, oceanographic and hydrological observation data, and monitor solar X-ray and space particle radiation data......"

In the news broadcast, the host talked about today's important news.

"Satellite launch" and "launch vehicle", these words entered Jiang Hui's ears, which made Jiang Hui think of a company, a company that is not well-known now but will be famous more than ten years later, that is, the American Space Exploration Technology Company founded by Elon Musk, that is, SpaceX.

Elon Musk, an early investor in PayPal, founded the company in 2002, and in the early years, the pace of development was not obvious. But in August, SpaceX was awarded a contract for NASA's commercial orbital transportation services, proving that SpaceX could be an option for delivering cargo to the International Space Station.

However, the first launch of Falcon 1 failed in March this year, and the continued launch failed again in March next year, and the third launch failed in August 2008, almost putting SpaceX out of business.

However, the fourth launch in September 2008 was finally successful, and SpaceX has been on a good path ever since.

At the time of Jiang Hui's rebirth, SpaceX was already a super unicorn company with a valuation of more than $50 billion, not only realizing satellite launches many times, but also successfully launching recyclable rockets, which shocked the international aerospace community.

Such a unicorn company is definitely not to be missed.

"Xiaoxue, do you think it is possible for us to live on the moon or even Mars in our lifetime?", Jiang Hui was thinking about SpaceX in his mind, chatting with Bai Xue in his mouth.

"It's difficult, isn't it? You can't see the news just now about the rocket launch, and you want to take the rocket to the moon in the future, right?" Bai Xue said while peeling a petal of orange and stuffing it into Jiang Hui's mouth.

"Why can't you take a rocket to the moon? More than 30 years ago, Armstrong landed on the moon, and in another twenty or thirty years, it is not impossible for a small group of ordinary people to go to the moon, right?"

"In the absence of a major breakthrough in technology, the risk of landing on the moon is too high, and the cost is too high, and the Celestial Empire has not mastered the relevant technology until now."

"There's a private space exploration technology company in the United States, and I'm going to invest in it and push the boundaries of technology. Armstrong said: "One small step for me is one big leap for humanity." I hope to be able to see the real big step of humanity in my lifetime," Jiang Hui said.

"Ah, aren't all these projects being carried out by governments, and how can private individuals do it?"

"In the Celestial Empire, individuals are not allowed to enter this industry at the moment, but some foreign countries do not have such restrictions. The company I'm going to invest in has already launched a rocket of my own research this year."

"Ahh

"This year's launch failed, but it was because of the failure of the launch that we had a chance to enter."

The past few years of SpaceX's successive launch failures are the best time to invest in shares. In particular, Jiang Hui is a person from the Celestial Empire, and when no one is optimistic about SpaceX, there is still a chance to buy shares, and when the situation is better in the future, others will not accept money if you give it away.

The U.S. government will not allow a high-tech enterprise like SpaceX, which can be used both for military and civilian purposes, to have a large number of shares of the Celestial Empire.

Even now, Jiang Hui felt that he could not get more than 30% of the shares, considering that Jiang Hui might be excluded from financing in the future, and in the end, Jiang Hui might not be able to keep even 20% of the shares.

Jiang Hui's bottom line is to hold more than 10 points of shares at least after SpaceX goes public, so that he can have a certain right to speak.

"Then you can do it, I don't know much about this. Ah~ Wangcai, don't lick my feet."

When Jiang Hui and Bai Xue were staying in the living room, the two little Tibetan mastiffs, Wangcai and Golden Retriever, also came over to offer their courtesy.

These two little guys are becoming more and more active now, and every time Jiang Hui just enters the gate, the two of them rush over.

"Well, I'll contact the person in charge of Twitter in the past two days to see if they can talk to Elon Musk, contact for a while, and then find an opportunity to buy shares next year."

The reason why Jiang Hui set the time for investing in shares next year is mainly because he wants to invest in SpaceX at a more difficult time. They had just experienced a launch failure this year, and although it hit their confidence to a certain extent, a failure did not mean anything after all. When the launch fails again in March next year, it is estimated that both employees and potential investors will revisit the project.

At this time, if Jiang Hui extends an olive branch, Elon Musk is unlikely to refuse, of course, provided that Jiang Hui's request is not too excessive.

Some may ask why not wait for the failure of the third launch in 2008 to take a stake in SpaceX at its most difficult time.

This is the same as buying stocks, you feel that you should start when you are almost at the end, and you can't just enter at the bottom.

The most difficult time for SpaceX was in August 2008, but after the successful launch in September 2008, the situation quickly improved. In such a short month, Jiang Hui will probably not have time to enter the market. Therefore, Jiang Hui is ready to invest in SpaceX at a low point, but there is no worst time to buy shares, and then spend the most difficult period together.

Jiang Hui's stake in SpaceX will definitely encounter various non-economic problems in the future, and if he can have a better personal relationship with Elon Musk, he should be able to face all kinds of difficulties in the future more calmly.

In addition to SpaceX, Jiang Hui is also ready to invest in some forward-looking projects around the world. For example, projects such as brain wave research and cancer research do not see benefits in the short term, but in the long run, the potential is very huge.

Although Jiang Hui hopes that the Guanghui Research Institute can become the largest private research institute in the Celestial Empire, researching all kinds of advanced technologies, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

No matter how powerful the Korn Ferry Group is, it is impossible to support all kinds of research. In particular, it is basically difficult to produce results in some basic research, and even if results are produced, it is difficult to achieve economic benefits.

The Korn Radiant Research Institute can only do what it can, and more importantly, it needs to make use of the research results from all over the world.

After all, standing on the shoulders of giants, it is easier to succeed!
