Chapter 488: Preparing for the Space Clan
"Of course no problem!" Lu Yang said, "But Brother Xiaoma, my plane is not cheap, and the manufacturing cost will reach 2.4 billion......" Lu Yang is still less to say, in fact, the cost of the Happiness is 2.41 billion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Ma Yun heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate, he didn't suspect that Lu Yang had falsely reported the price. The friendship between the two for nearly ten years cannot be measured by money. If their career is to the point where they are, they will never deceive their friends in order to make hundreds of millions.
Ma Yun hesitated, not that she couldn't afford it. Because the stock price of Ali Group continues to rise, Ma Yun's net worth has also risen, coupled with the fact that Ant Financial, which he cooperated with Lu Yang, was listed last year, and in the middle of this year's "Forbes" China Rich List, Ma Yun's ranking surpassed Wang Jianlin and rose to second place, reaching 320 billion yuan, second only to Lu Yang, and also ranked in the top ten on the global rich list.
"Brother Xiaoma, with your net worth of 320 billion, it's nothing to really buy a 2.4 billion plane." Lu Yang said with a smile, "Of course, if you don't want to be so high-profile, we can also customize a ...... according to your requirements."
Ma Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, I'll still customize, I'm not your brother after all." ”
Ma Yun is not the only one who learns about private jets from Lu Yang, there are also many who place orders directly, the most bold are those oil tyrants, Salman directly booked a high-grade private jet, although the performance is not as good as Lu Yang's happiness, but the luxury is still excessive, the booking price is 2.6 billion.
Another prince of Shat, Alwaleed, known as the richest man in the Middle East, is even more exaggerated, directly asking Penglai Aerospace Company to build him the best private jet in the world, for which he does not care about the price at all. For such a customer, Song Minglun liked it the most, personally came to understand his needs, and finally customized an 80-meter-long large aircraft for him, with a total cost of more than 3.8 billion.
After more than two months of negotiations, Song Minglun signed agreements with several airlines on the mainland, authorizing them to produce 80 percent of the components of Penglai Island's first large passenger aircraft, the Kunpeng, and at the same time, the two sides also built an assembly center in Shencheng. And this time, Song Minglun's mainland trip was also very rich, and he got an order for 130 aircraft. With 15 private jet orders, his aircraft manufacturing department is off to a good start.
Back on Penglai Island, Song Minglun had more plans in mind.
"Boss, we still have an industry that we haven't been involved in, and that is military aircraft! With our technology, there are no problems at all with the production of military aircraft, which can be much more profitable than civilian aircraft! Song Minglun suggested to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang frowned and did not speak.
"Boss, do you think which of the world's top airlines has no arms business? Boeing, Airbus, etc. are the world's top ten arms companies......" Song Minglun tried his best to persuade.
"Okay, let's not do this piece of military industry for the time being." Lu Yang planned him.
It's not that Lu Yang doesn't want to do the military industry, when Penglai Island was not built yet, he paid a huge price in order to enter the military industry, so he won the acquisition of the original Hafei. However, after Lu Yang's Tiandao credit card user level was upgraded to the second level, and more powerful technologies could be purchased, Lu Yang stopped doing military work.
When he was promoted to the second level, Qiuqiu reminded Lu Yang that the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Credit Card was to promote the development and progress of civilization, not the destruction of civilization, so the war that threatened civilization was a serious violation of the mission of Heavenly Dao. If such a war was initiated by Lu Yang, then he would probably lose his Tiandao credit card, even if it was not initiated by him, but there were some forms of participation, such as providing equipment and deducting contributions depending on the situation.
It was this regulation that made Lu Yang decide not to produce weapons anymore, and even if he did, it would only be open to Huaxia, because Huaxia was not a country that started wars lightly, and he had some control.
"We won't do it with military planes." Lu Yang couldn't tell Song Minglun his reason, but just told him the result.
Song Minglun didn't understand it very much, he believed that with the technology of Penglai Aerospace Company, the fighter plane manufactured was enough to crush the F35 of the United States and dominate the world. However, Song Minglun is still very measured, and when he saw that the big boss disagreed, he didn't mention it again.
"Military planes can't work, we can make space weapons." Lu Yang's topic suddenly changed, "The International Space Agency needs a space force, and we can build a group of small space planes to form a space team." ”
Song Minglun's head was a little confused, why did he suddenly want to build an aerospace combat aircraft? He didn't understand his boss's logic at all, didn't he make military aircraft, just because the technology of military aircraft was too low-end to show the tallness of Penglai Aerospace Company?
"Even if it really builds an aerospace combat aircraft, how many will the ISA need?" Song Minglun thought to himself.
Lu Yang said to himself: "The International Space Agency needs a space team, but for now, it doesn't need too much, let's build five." ”
The production of aerospace aircraft on Penglai Island is very limited, in addition to their high cost, there are also material factors. The annual output of materials for the manufacture of aerospace aircraft is only 1,000 tons, and so far, Lu Yang has accumulated only 1,250 tons.
"Boss, is it really necessary to create an air-space combat aircraft now? Even without this, the ISA is invincible, so why spend its resources on it? Song Minglun said.
"It's still necessary, don't forget what the ISA does!" Lu Yang said, "You and Mr. Li discuss that he is the director of the International Space Agency, and it is better for him to make proposals to various countries." ”
The establishment of a space force for the International Space Agency was predetermined at the beginning of its establishment, and it was also clearly stated in the charter of the International Space Agency. Considering that the vast majority of countries do not have the ability to go into space, the Space Force is obviously aimed at a small number of countries, so it will inevitably arouse their fierce opposition. But at the moment, Lu Yang is not worried, because the biggest opposition force, the United States, has been opposing the International Space Agency.
Another task that Lu Yang is concerned about is the reform of Penglai Group.
After several months of reform and reorganization, Penglai Group has undergone great changes, not only clarifying the internal relationship, but also drawing a clear line with the Penglai Municipal Government.
The new Penglai Group remains the economic center of gravity of Penglai Island, with more than 50 branches under it, and three major industries are involved, from agriculture to industry to service industry. These more than 50 branches have such world-class giants as Penglai Intelligent Electronics, Penglai Automobile, Penglai Agricultural Group, Penglai Shipyard, etc., as well as rising stars such as Penglai Commerce, Penglai Chemical, and Penglai Marine Development Company.
After the reform, Penglai Island has achieved the separation of politics and business on the surface, but in fact, Penglai Group firmly controls the lifeblood of Penglai Island because of Lu Yang's relationship, and the managers of those branches, whether in status or power, are not inferior to the heads of government departments.
The academic community has been discussing this management model of Penglai Island for more than a year, and in the end there is no result. And Lu Yang didn't care about this, to borrow a sentence from Deng Gong, no matter whether the cat is black or white, catching a mouse is a good cat.
After the management is straightened out, Lu Yang can put most of his energy into technology. Nowadays, the focus of Lu Yang's research is biological gene technology, which is very rare in the Tiandao Mall, and if he wants to attain something, he needs to learn it himself. In fact, since 2013, Lu Yang has begun to study systematically.
Lu Yang is not alone, he has three biotechnology laboratories on Penglai Island, and there are more than 500 related researchers, including several of the world's top authoritative experts. Lu Yang is engaged in research while learning from these people, with his current learning ability, but in a few years, he has surpassed the vast majority of people in research on genes and other aspects.
Lu Yang studied biotechnology, and he didn't want to transform human beings in the past, what he wanted to do was to resurrect some creatures that once existed on the earth through this technology, such as dinosaurs! So, while doing research, he also posted bounties around the world to collect things that might contain dinosaur genes. Unfortunately, because it is so old, there is almost nothing left that contains the active cells of the dinosaurs.
"Boss, maybe we should change the direction of our research and start with the close relatives of the dinosaurs and clone the dinosaurs through genetic recombination!" Professor Alfred, the head of the biotechnology laboratory, suggested to Lu Yang that he was a world-renowned genetic expert who was recruited by Lu Yang from the United States with a high salary.
"Genetic recombination? Professor, are you sure? ”
"You can give it a try, as far as we know so far, there are quite a few close relatives of dinosaurs on Earth."
Lu Yang thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Then try it, I hope that in tens of millions of years of evolution, the genes of those animals still retain the information of dinosaurs." By the way, Professor, aren't there many places around the world where there are monsters, and everyone speculates that those monsters may be dinosaurs? Maybe we can organize some investigation teams, and if there are really dinosaurs left, the source of dinosaur genes will be there! ”
"You can try, although I think it's futile." Professor Alfred shrugged, he was a very scientific man and never believed the rumors of water monsters.
"I organised an expedition to Loch Ness ten years ago, but we spent two months in the UK and found nothing. Those rumors are rumors after all, and they are not worth believing. Professor Alfred added.
"Maybe the Loch Ness Monster is fake, but there are other places, such as the Tianchi Monster in Huaxia. Even if there were no dinosaurs in those land lakes, what about the vast seas? I believe that if you look carefully, you may be able to find some miracles! (To be continued.) )
