Chapter 782: Goodbye Mateschitz
This small conflict was naturally expected by Tang Feng, and what happened in the next few days was also guessed by Tang Feng.
First Jeb. Bush called to congratulate the moon landing on a complete success, and after chatting with Don for a while, Jeb Bush called to congratulate him on the success of the moon landing. Bush cautiously put forward a proposal to let Tang Feng take out the meteorite and hand it over to a certain laboratory for testing, but Tang Feng directly rejected it without hesitation.
"Mr. Bush, we are old friends, and you know what kind of temperament I am. So, I hope that there will be no such unpleasant topics between us in the future. I have a legally compliant contract with NASA that states that I have indisputable ownership of everything I bring back from the moon. And I'm sorry, Mr. Bush, my team is also very interested in that meteorite right now, and they're working on it, but I can guarantee that I'll keep you informed as soon as there's any progress in the study of that meteorite. ”
Although Mr. George W. Bush is the president of the United States, there is really no good way to deal with a tycoon-level figure like Tang Feng.
Do you sanction people? How do you sanction? made Tang Feng anxious, and the family directly broke away from American citizenship and went to other countries with huge assets. Whether it is China, Russia, or those countries in Europe, they will definitely welcome tycoons like Tang Feng to join their nationality.
And once Tang Feng leaves, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the United States, and it is estimated that the members of the Senate and House of Representatives will definitely question the White House.
Therefore, Tang Feng can't be provoked, and he can't be provoked. Not to mention that they still have a legal advantage, and they have a contract in hand, even if the U.S. government comes forward, they can't help Tang Feng
Jeb. Mr. Bush immediately withdrew with great interest. After all, on the other hand. He and Tang Feng are also friends on the same front, and if it weren't for Tang Feng's strong support, he might not even be able to sit on the throne of the president. If it weren't for the fact that several senators in the Senate had joined forces to put pressure on them, Jeb . Bush would not have made such a temptation.
However, Jeb. Bush's temptation was not the last, and with Jeb Bush. Bush's phone call. Then there were calls from people such as the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, all knocking on the meteorite
Even after NASA was silent for several days, the director of NASA personally visited the door, saying that he asked Tang Feng to take out the extraterrestrial meteorite for NASA astrophysicists to study.
For this almost unreasonable and shameless request, Tang Feng directly vetoed it, and said a word, which directly made the director defeated.
"Mr. James, you are planning to let my Mars project be held in China or Russia!"
One sentence made NASA Administrator Paul. James died down. Although that meteorite is magical, no one knows the real effect. And which manned Mars exploration program with a total budget of hundreds of billions of dollars is real.
That's a manned Mars exploration program, not a random Mars rover to Mars for surveying, but a feat of letting living earthlings land on Mars, which is comparable to the feat of human beings entering space for the first time and landing on the moon for the first time!
As long as you are an astronaut, no one can refuse the huge temptation to land on Mars. Confused, even Paul. James couldn't land on Mars himself, but he couldn't refuse the lure either. Confuse. Because if this manned Mars exploration program is realized from his hands, then his name will be enough to go down in history.
Because of a meteorite of unknown origin and unknown function. And giving up the manned Mars exploration program is obviously something that will only be done after being kicked in the head by a donkey, and the dignified NASA administrator will never be kicked in the head by a donkey.
Therefore, after the director of NASA wisely shifted the topic to other aspects, the meeting between him and Tang Feng was relatively fruitful. At the very least, Tang Feng verbally promised that as long as NASA worked hard to cooperate with the manned Mars exploration program of Star Exploration Company, then he himself would not consider putting the manned Mars exploration program in other countries to implement it.
In this way, after sending away several waves of visitors who were either tentative or pressurized. After a few days of rest, Tang Feng finally returned to the state of earth from the state of space.
Tang immediately called Mateschitz, who was ready to follow Red Bull Racing at Austin Circuit for the US Grand Prix.
"Don, I'm very glad to receive your call. How's it going, it's recovering well, right? ”
"Hehe, Dieter, I'm completely fine, I heard you're in Austin preparing for the F1 U.S. Grand Prix right now?"
"That's right, Don, it's going to be held the day after tomorrow, this year's United States Grand Prix has been brought forward to the beginning of June, if you're interested, I invite you to come and watch the race."
"Alright, Dieter, I have something to discuss with you in person. Well, I'll be in Austin with Sophia tomorrow morning so I can watch qualifying. Dieter, remember to leave me two tickets for good spots. ”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Feng called Sophia to say that he would go to Austin to watch the F1 United States Grand Prix tomorrow, and naturally Sophia cheered.
Early the next morning, Tang and Sophia flew directly to Austin International Airport by private helicopter, because the Austin Raceway, where the F1 USA Grand Prix is held, is located about two kilometers south of Austin International Airport, which is quite close. Because Austin International Airport has two dedicated helicopter airports, it is most appropriate to park your helicopter there.
Mateschitz personally drove to pick up Tang Feng and Sofia, this year's Red Bull Racing team is in good shape, although there was a little trouble at the beginning of the year due to engine supply problems, but Red Bull Racing's main car driver Cardo is in quite good form this year, only eight points less than British racing driver Hamilton's points, ranked second, and even ahead of Vettel, so Mateschitz's mood is still quite good.
The next day is the F1 US Grand Prix, so there will be a qualifying session today. Qualifying is more enjoyable than the main race, as qualifying is faster and there is a time limit, so the competition between drivers and teams, teams and teams is more intense.
After watching the exciting qualifying race, Tang Feng took Sophia and Mateschitz to sit in a café on the race track, and as soon as Tang Feng spoke, Mateschitz and Sofia were pleasantly surprised. (To be continued.) )
