Chapter 446 Invitation
After coming to this conclusion, Hayden began to mobilize all his efforts to gather information about Lu Yang's aerospace technology. In the afternoon of the same day, he compiled this conjecture into a report and submitted it to the White House, and it didn't take long for the report to appear on the desk of Hillani, the first female president of the United States.www.biquge.info
"Hayden, I need evidence, not mere conjecture!" In the year since he took office, Hillani has been busy cleaning up the mess left by Oguanhai, and space-based weapons are one of them. However, Hillani can't care about space-based weapons now, and her biggest challenge now is to redeem the disadvantage of the United States over Huaxia, suppress the expansion of the Chinese power, and maintain the hegemony of the United States.
Hayden knew that Hillani didn't like her, and the reason why she hadn't replaced herself was because she wanted to keep the CIA stable.
"President, although there is no direct evidence yet, I am 80% sure." Hayden wanted to give himself extra points in front of the new president by solving the space-based weapons problem, and he tried his best to defend himself at the moment.
Hillani looked at him and spoke much calmer: "If it is really proved that Lu Yang did it, the United States will not give up, but I must get conclusive evidence so that I can convince Congress to support my action." ”
Hillani suddenly thought that for the United States, Penglai Island is a good breakthrough. She now feels that Ao Guanhai letting Penglai Island grow is simply the biggest failure. If the United States has a reason to attack Penglai Island, it will be able to take advantage of the situation to pull out Huaxia's base in the western Pacific, remove the other side's threat to the two major island chains, and once again suppress the Huaxia Navy in the East China Sea.
"Penglai Island is going to test fly an aerospace plane, this is the biggest evidence!" Hayden said.
Hillani shook her head: "Congress will not accept this reason!" ”
"I understand, President, I'll submit the relevant evidence within a month!" Hayden went back.
After leaving the White House, Hayden breathed a sigh of relief that his seat had been saved. From the conversation just now, Hayden has already discovered Hillani's intentions, that is, the female president hopes to find a reason to attack Penglai Island, which is the evidence she is talking about. As long as he can complete this task, the new president may let him go.
Finding evidence that the space-based weapon belonged to Lu Yang within a month, Hayden was not at all sure. Judging from his understanding of Lu Yang, this person is very terrifying, with countless advanced technologies in his hands, and no one knows where his limit is.
There is another thing that makes Hayden still afraid of Lu Yang, since the establishment of Penglai Island, he has sent no less than 30 elite agents to the island, and these people have disappeared without a trace as soon as they enter Penglai Island.
Unsure, Hayden dared to promise in front of Hillani that he was certainly not crazy, but confident.
"Since the president has decided to take action against Penglai Island, it doesn't matter what reason he uses." Hayden thought to himself, "One month is enough time for me to make a perfect piece of evidence." ”
The ceremony of the first flight of Space One was very grand, not only China attaches great importance to it, but also the international community attaches unprecedented importance to it, NASA and ESA have sent requests, hoping to be able to watch the ceremony at that time, and Lu Yang has agreed to these requests.
Not only that, Lu Yang also asked Li Yilong to send 500 invitation letters, including heads of state, world-class tycoons, science and technology tycoons, top scientists, and so on. The invitation was quickly replied to, and the three heads of state of Russia, P.T. P.T., President Hussein of Pakistan, and King Salman of Sand said that they would be present, and other countries would also send heavyweight guests, such as Prince William of the United Kingdom, Clinton of the United States, etc.
In addition to these politicians, there were even more wealthy people who agreed to attend, many of whom came to Penglai Island with their families, such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. When the attendees gathered into Li Yilong's hands, he himself was shocked first, because 80 of the world's top 100 richest people would come to Penglai Island!
Elon Musk, the owner of SpaceX, a well-known private space company in the United States, also received an invitation from Penglai Airlines and agreed to attend. Elon Musk is a Silicon Valley legend who has invested not only in SpaceX but also in Tesla, and is the CEO of both companies.
The reason why Lu Yang invited so many rich people is because these people are the customers of future space travel. Although the cost of the space-one flight is cheaper than all previous space vehicles, it is a space flight after all, and no matter how cheap it is, it cannot be the price of a plane ticket. Besides, those rich people will never be stingy to spend millions or tens of millions of dollars to go to the outer sky.
Lu Yang believes that if the space travel project works well, Space One may be able to make a profit.
On December 7, Lu Yang returned to Penglai Island, and the prime minister was with him. As for the president and other elders, they will arrive on Penglai Island the day before the test flight.
"Every time I come to Penglai Island, I feel like I've arrived in a strange place." After getting off the plane, the prime minister sighed.
"Penglai Island is in a stage of rapid development, and great changes are taking place all the time!" Lu Yang is very proud of this.
"When all the places in our country are like Penglai Island, the take-off of the Chinese nation will be realized." The Prime Minister said meaningfully.
Lu Yang smiled: "It's not easy, the standard is too high." ”
"Does Penglai Island now have a population of more than one million?" The two sat in the car, and the prime minister asked.
"Soon, it should be no problem to exceed one million before the Spring Festival."
"The last time I came, it was just over 100,000 people, and in a blink of an eye, it has exceeded one million, and the development is too fast." The prime minister couldn't help but praise, "But you also have to control ......"
"Control?"
"You specialize in absorbing high-end talents, and many places in China have opinions, especially those who are very rich, how much tax revenue do they lose when they go to Penglai Island?" The Prime Minister said.
Lu Yang shrugged: "This can't blame us, the naturalization of Penglai Island was all voluntary by these people, not forced by me." Besides, they are on Penglai Island, and they can also contribute taxes to the country. ”
The prime minister is also helpless about this, he has data in hand, last year there were 11,000 millionaires in China immigrated, this number increased by 22% from 2015, but unlike before, of the 11,000 millionaires, 6,000 moved to Penglai Island, only 5,000 emigrated abroad. Strictly speaking, there are only 5,000 millionaires who have left the country.
Lu Yang also knows this situation, although he did not open a back door to the rich to immigrate, it is also a fact that it is easier for the rich to naturalize Penglai Island. He does not prohibit or encourage this. But it's a good thing to think about it, at least it prevents more people from running abroad with their money. (To be continued.) )
