Chapter 526 Another trillion market
"I wonder how much this electricity costs?" Bill Gates asked eagerly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You don't have to worry about that, wireless power is much less expensive than wired power." Lu Yang said confidently, "Generally speaking, the cost of transmission and distribution of electricity is higher than the cost of power generation, and wireless power solves the problem of transmission and distribution cost, in addition to the upfront investment, there is basically no other overhead, so the price of electricity is much cheaper than wired power!" ”
"If that's the case, it's already an inevitable trend for wireless power to replace wired power." Bill Gates lamented.
"Of course. Taking Penglai Island as an example, before the lighthouse was put into use, the price of electricity for residents was 0.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity, but now, the price has dropped to 0.1 yuan, because the cost of transmission and distribution is saved. Now, Penglai Island only needs a nuclear fusion power station to achieve uninterrupted power supply for the whole island, and the surrounding sea area of nearly 1,000 kilometers can also be used for electricity, which is the advantage of wireless power! ”
The more Bill Gates thought about it, the more frightened he became, Lu Yang wanted to control the rhythm of the world's electricity. He now has fusion power generation technology and is able to mine helium-3 from the moon, so as long as there are enough fusion power stations, the power supply will not be a problem. Relying on the wireless power plan, Luyang is able to transmit his electricity to the world at a much lower cost than most countries' own electricity. If other countries really open their electricity markets to Luyang, who can stop him?
Bill Gates suddenly understood that the cooperation that Lu Yang said was probably to let him open the market of the United States! The government of the United States has always been at odds with Lu Yang, and if Lu Yang goes to the United States to talk, there is no possibility of success.
"If we work together, will I be able to purchase wireless power technology?" Bill Gates asked.
Lu Yang shook his head: "Wireless power technology and mecha technology, artificial intelligence technology, aerospace aircraft technology, nuclear fusion technology and other technologies belong to the core of Penglai Island, and they are not sold or licensed." However, I can give you the exclusive agency rights of the rice market. ”
Lu Yang knew that the biggest obstacle to his plan was the governments of the world, so he planned to find some powerful agents around the world, and he also made a lot of concessions in terms of interests. For him, the promotion and global impact of wireless power is more important than money.
"I want to think about it, although the electricity in the United States is privately owned, the government secretly controls it very much. Even for me, it's not so easy to get into this field. Bill Gates said cautiously, and at the same time smiled bitterly in his heart, he originally wanted to persuade Lu Yang to cooperate with him in nuclear fusion technology this time, but he didn't expect to be persuaded by Lu Yang in the end.
Lu Yang was not disappointed, and today's words with Bill Gates were an accident. Lu Yang has thought about it, if he wants to realize his plan, he still has to start from a small country, who in a big country will hand over his electricity to others? As for the first target, Lu Yang also chose it, and that is Africa!
Before that, Lu Yang hopes to persuade China to join the plan, because Huaxia has a huge influence in Africa, and this is where Lu Yang needs to help.
The week-long space training was quickly over, and everyone mastered how to use the Type 18 spacesuit and passed the real-world simulation training.
"Brother, do you want to sell your Type 18 spacesuit, I want to buy one!" Ma Yun liked the Type 18 spacesuit very much, and specifically inquired about Lu Yang.
Lu Yang asked, "Brother Xiaoma, what are you buying it for?" ”
"It's so useful...... Wearing this spacesuit, I feel as if I have opened up the second vein of Ren Du, and it is not a problem to fly the eaves and walk the wall. Ma Yun said excitedly.
"You're wearing it like a mech, aren't you?" Lu Yang said, "The Type 18 spacesuit is not for private sale, but I can personally give you a set as a collection." ”
It is not only Ma Yun who wants to buy a Type 18 spacesuit, but also those who come to participate in the first trip to the moon are not bad at money, and they will not be stingy with money when they encounter something they like. Moreover, the Type 18 spacesuit is known as a weakened mecha, which has a huge attraction for many people, especially young people, such as Wang Sicong, who couldn't help it on the first day of training, and wanted to order 10 sets of Type 18 spacesuits on the spot, which startled Chen Yusong, who was in charge of training him.
In the end, all the opinions were fed back to Lei Jun, and the order reached 12,000 sets, which is equivalent to an average of 1.5 sets per person!
"Boss, we should reconsider the listing of the Type 18 spacesuit!" Lei Jun got the news and found Lu Yang as soon as possible.
"Originally, we developed this spacesuit for space activities, but now it seems that the Type 18 spacesuit has a broad market prospect. I've investigated, and the reasons why these people are willing to buy are nothing more than a few, safety, exploration, collection, and some people plan to research. I think we can launch a civilian version of the spacesuit according to these needs! Lei Jun said his plan.
Lu Yang was also surprised by this result, and also felt that his previous consideration was a bit inappropriate.
"Your opinion is very good, the Type 18 spacesuit is expensive, and many of its functions are designed for the space environment and have no practicality on Earth. Perhaps, we can develop some new functions according to the earth's environment......" Lu Yang agreed with Lei Jun's judgment.
"This one can totally be tried! If some of the features of the Type 18 spacesuit are removed, the cost will be significantly reduced. I preliminarily calculated that the cost of the weakened version of the Type 18 spacesuit will not exceed 1 million, and even, we can halve it again and compress the cost to 500,000, so that the market for this product will be large! Lei Jun said excitedly.
With the consent of Lu Yang, Lei Jun asked the company's technical team to develop corresponding products specifically for these needs, which will be a key project this year for Penglai Intelligent Electronics Company! Lei Jun estimates that if the market development goes smoothly, the global market for this kind of functional clothing will not be less than one trillion!
The preparations before the take-off of Space 1 have been done, and this time it is Chen Yusong who is on the piloting mission. For the sake of safety, the crew members are all elderly people who have flown to the moon more than ten times, and in addition, there is also a mecha detachment accompanying them this time, which is convenient for rescue if anything happens at the scene.
Lu Yang's Xingtian mecha was also on Space One, but when he landed on the moon, Lu Yang was still wearing an 18-type spacesuit. As the owner of Penglai Island, if he doesn't wear a Type 18 spacesuit, others will definitely doubt its safety.
The estimated duration of this trip to the moon is one and a half days, and the time spent on the moon is 10 hours. Before setting off, Penglai Aerospace experts had already calculated the time to ensure that visitors would be able to enjoy the sunrise and other sights on the moon.
The first trip to the moon is about to begin!
In addition to Lu Yang's family, a total of 24 people participated in the moon trip this time, because the New Year's benefits have been issued, and this moon trip can only be paid by employees. However, compared with the outside world, they can enjoy a 6% discount on air tickets.
Because Lingling was not yet three years old, she could not participate in this moon trip, and in addition, Lu Yuhan and Xu Jun also missed it because of work matters, so this trip, Lu Yang's family only arrived with 7 people.
"Lao Li, are you really not going to go to the moon this time?" Before leaving, Lu Yang specially asked Li Yilong. Last year's space trip, Li Yilong did not catch the first trip, and this year, he presided over Penglai Aerospace Company, hard work, Lu Yang wanted to take him along.
Li Yilong shook his head: "I don't have such a strong curiosity about moon travel, besides, if I want to go, I can go at any time." Space-1 flies to the moon almost once a month, and the moon landing is not new to us. This trip to the moon is of great significance, and the space base must be commanded, so it is appropriate for me to stay on Penglai Island. ”
"Okay then, I'll command the next trip to the moon, you go, the expense company will reimburse you!" Lu Yang thought about it for a moment and said.
"Boss, there is also good news, this time our advertising expenses exceeded my expectations, and the total revenue reached 6 billion, which is almost double that of space travel!" Li Yilong said.
As the best advertising space in the world, Space One is not just talking. Take space travel as an example, although it has been carried out 12 times, but each space trip still has a high degree of attention around the world, if not, where did Penglai Aerospace's huge advertising revenue come from last year?
Any brand, as long as it is on Space One, will immediately become well-known around the world, and this effect is far from being matched by other advertising methods.
"The high advertising cost is a good thing, but Lao Li, our Penglai Island is based on science and technology, don't give up the basics. Last year, your revenue was as high as 520 billion, and your profit exceeded 200 billion, what is the budget for technology research and development this year? Lu Yang asked.
Speaking of this, Li Yilong was a little embarrassed.
"Boss, according to my initial plan, this year's technology research and development funds are about 20 billion ......"
Lu Yang shook his head again and again: "You are such a big company, and the technology research and development cost is only 20 billion? ”
Li Yilong hurriedly explained: "Boss, it's not that I'm reluctant to invest, it's a project that I really haven't invested in. Aerospace aircraft and large passenger aircraft, the technology is provided by you, it is already very mature, and our own technical team has no research in this area at all. This year we plan to launch a few more civil aircraft, which will not cost much money......"
Lu Yang thought about it, Penglai Aerospace Company really doesn't have any big projects, at most it is to develop in the field of civil aircraft, and the technology of aerospace aircraft will definitely not be their turn.
"This is my negligence, so let's do it, starting this year, you will develop not only civilian aircraft, but also military aircraft......" (To be continued. )
