Chapter 1000 Isn't it uncomfortable for yourself

The negotiations have reached a stalemate from the very beginning, and the US government is not willing to make any compromise at all, and they have calculated that it is impossible for Galaxy Industry to get rid of them, otherwise, Galaxy Industry would not have sent Wang Zewei and Shao Ruolian, two first-class core members, to the United States to sell to the US government.

Wang Zewei has experienced not 1,000 negotiations with a target amount of more than 100 million Chinese coins, but 800 times, and if you count the relatively small negotiations, the number of negotiations is even more difficult to count. But this time, the negotiations were extremely difficult, some time ago, the negotiation with Microsoft, the speed of progress was like a turtle crawling, but anyway, there was progress, this time, the turtle simply got seriously ill, lying there, motionless.

Wang Zewei and Shao Ruolian reported the situation in the United States to Liu Shiqing every now and then, Liu Shiqing was not in a hurry at all, and was still comforting the two of them, "Uncle Wang, you tell Shao Ruolian, don't be in a hurry." Useless. We have now made it clear that if the Americans are willing to get on this bus, then we will take him, and if they are not willing to get on it, we will not take him. Hehe, you don't know yet, do you? Since your speech in the United States, our Galaxy Industry has been lively, and many countries have come to the door and want to participate in the construction of the space base. I just had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and you weren't there for me, and you didn't hear what President Putin said, so you almost pointed at me and said that I was not authentic. President Putin said that within a day or two, he would send a delegation to China to talk to us about cooperation. ”

Ever since Wang Zewei gave a speech at the United Nations headquarters, there has been an uproar around the world*. Some time ago, people were rumored that Galaxy Industry was doing something, and the most popular saying was that Galaxy Space would have a big move. Many people are looking for various ways to confirm the news, but those who know the truth are tight-lipped and no one is willing to reveal it to the outside world.

Now, Galaxy Industry has officially announced their purpose, to build the largest space station in the history of mankind in space low earth orbit, and it is also the first space city of mankind, a space base with an area of more than 2 million square meters. If the space occupied by the equipment necessary to maintain the operation of the space city is left for people's activities, it will also be more than 1.5 million square meters, which is equivalent to about three and a half Tiananmen Square.

The area of the International Space Station is equivalent to two standard football fields, but this area refers to the space area it occupies, that is, the final assembly size, excluding the space occupied by solar panels, shells, necessary equipment, etc., its actual area for astronaut activities is equivalent to the area of two Boeing 747 cabins, which can be used for six astronauts to work and live, and more is crowded.

In order to make effective use of this space, the 16 countries participating in the ISS must be careful and no one dares to waste even a square millimeter of space.

Equipment that can not be transported to the ISS will not be transported, functions that can be integrated together, and those that can be miniaturized should be made as small as possible. The price to be paid to meet these requirements is not small. The problem of equipment miniaturization, under the premise of achieving the same function, is usually done smaller, the higher the technical conditions required, the higher the processing cost, and all the equipment of the International Space Station must be miniaturized, which puts forward very high requirements for the technical requirements and financial resources of the participating countries.

The space base led by Yinhe Industry does not have this problem, more than 1.5 million square meters of effective space, enough to build a large-scale factory, even if you eliminate the place where people live and play, you can also meet the needs of participating in the scientific research of the country in a large way, if you are willing to invest more money and purchase the equity of the space base, then there will be no problem in building a small factory on the space base.

There is a lot of space, and then there is a problem of confidentiality to be solved. In the past, limited to the actual situation of the International Space Station, the participating countries need to cooperate with each other, usually you bring the equipment to the sky, I will not bring it to the sky, so that a lot of equipment needs to be shared, borrowed from each other, which brings great difficulty to secrecy, even if various measures are adopted, but everyone often gets together, or can observe some clues.

On the space base, the space is large enough, and those equipment that can not be shared can not be shared, which is nothing more than spending more money, transporting their own equipment to their own territory in the space base, closing the door, doing whatever you want, keeping it secret, and keeping it secret as much as you want, and the security has been greatly improved.

In addition, from a large perspective, in the long run, the birth of the space base can be said to be the first large-scale development of space resources in the history of mankind. This also means that human beings have begun to ask for resources from space and the universe on a large scale, instead of just launching man-made satellites and building pocket-sized real rooms in space as before.

This is the beginning of a new era, only the first time to take this shuttle, can enjoy the greatest power, just like more than 20 years ago, when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was transformed into the World Trade Organization, the original member of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade naturally became a member of the World Trade Organization, no, it is necessary to go through very difficult negotiations to be able to join the World Trade Organization, in that case, the price paid will be great.

In the face of the space base, the Americans have the capital to pick and choose there, relying on their identity as the world's only superpower, trying to subdue Galaxy Industry and make Galaxy Industry make concessions. Other countries do not have this capital, even if they are old Maozi, at this stage, they do not have enough ability to provoke a war, and they are even more eager for world peace than China, only in this way can they buy a long enough time to restore their national strength and regain the lost dream of a superpower.

After Wang Zewei delivered his speech, President Putin spoke to Liu Shiqing on behalf of Russia, hoping that Liu Shiqing would abide by the previous agreement, first keep the 10% equity he promised to leave to Russia, not sell it to the outside world, allow the Russian side to carry out necessary discussions and consultations, and more importantly, raise enough funds to buy the equity of the space base. President Putin's tone was much more relaxed this time, and he could no longer see the perfunctory attitude when Liu Shiqing begged him.

At that time, Liu Shiqing had just extended an olive branch to Russia, obviously wanting to strengthen cooperation and mutual trust with Russia, and Russia also benefited at that time, although it failed to completely eliminate the national separatism in the country, but these separatist forces did suffer a heavy blow. At that time, if he could push the boat down the river and have a good relationship with Liu Shiqing, Yinhe Industry would not be like the later expression. Over the years, the trade between Galaxy Industry and Russia has continued, but none of the senior executives of Galaxy Industry have visited Russia, and the products exported to Russia by Galaxy Industry are sometimes not as good as the products sold to the Arab world.

Russia is also aware of the importance of joining the space base project, which was originally one of the world's leading space powers, and before the Mir space station crashed in the South Pacific, even the United States did not have as rich and mature space station technology as Russia. It's just that people are poor and short-sighted, and there is a lack of funds, and Russia has not made particularly outstanding achievements in the field of aerospace in recent years, and many technologies have not made major breakthroughs for decades. Russia's leading position in the space sector is being seriously challenged.

Galaxy Industry in the field of aerospace out of the technical advantages, whether it is a space plane, or clairvoyant space telescope, have been shown in the world of the highest level of science and technology, the birth of the space base, but also shows that the Galaxy Space mastered the field of aerospace technology, is leading the world. If Russia is not able to catch up, it will only be further and further backward and lose its technological advantage in seizing and dividing space interests.

The Russians are well aware of the importance of the space base, but a problem that has plagued them for a long time, and this time again in front of them, is how to solve it with funding. Russia's foreign exchange reserves are about 600 billion US dollars, and the vast majority of these foreign exchange reserves are US dollar assets, and Huaxia currency assets account for only a small part. Even if Galaxy is willing to take a step back and ask for dollars, Russia's foreign exchange reserves will not be enough to cover the cost of that 10% equity.

After Wang Zewei's speech at the United Nations, the Japanese government immediately got in touch with Galaxy Industry, indicating that Japan is willing to strengthen cooperation with Galaxy Industry in the field of space bases, and Japan is willing to invest a large proportion in the space base and become the major shareholder of the space base.

Before Wang Zewei went to the United States, he had already communicated with Liu Shiqing, Ding Chongxiang and others that Galaxy Industry had adjusted the price of the space base equity to 700 billion Huaxia coins, at least not less than 650 billion Huaxia coins. For Japan, of course, the price of 650 billion yuan cannot be applied, and 700 billion yuan is more appropriate.

Hearing this offer, the Japanese side was not much surprised, but said that it could negotiate with Galaxy Industrial in terms of price, provided that Japan wanted to get no less than 10 percent of the shares of the space base, and preferably 15 to 20 percent.

Japan's annual GDP is probably between 35 trillion and 40 trillion Chinese dollars, which means that the Japanese plan to use about one-third of the annual GDP to occupy the position of the top three major shareholders of the space base.

Japan has a large population, a narrow territory, and a lack of resources, and since the failure of its expansion in World War II, it has turned to science and technology to build a country, and over the years, Japan's foundation has been implemented very well, and even once jumped to the world's largest economy. Although it has since declined, Japan is still one of the world's largest economies, ranking among the top five.

The Japanese side feels that the space base is another opportunity, an opportunity to allow Japan to take the lead in the field of aerospace, and now, Japan has no way to compete with Galaxy Industry in space technology, but Japan may not be able to become a rising star, catch up, and surpass Galaxy Industry. Historically, Japan used to be a vassal state of China, but later it was not the same anti-guest, which made the Manchu government scream and gain the upper hand. This time, the Japanese side felt that they could do the same.

As long as they can gain a foothold in the space base, then they can look for opportunities, learn related technologies, spend a while, get rid of Galaxy Industry, and build their own space city of their own, and seize a relatively large piece of the cake in the future division of space interests.

This time, Japan is going to do a big job, otherwise, they would not have thought of becoming the third largest shareholder of the space base and grabbing the right to speak.

Japan is not the only one seeking to snatch the right to speak. The EU is really anxious this time, and all member states are fighting over whether to participate in this project. On many international issues, EU member states are united in their efforts to express the same voice, and the space base is placed there, and all countries know what it means to be able to join the space base.

For other countries, there are only two problems when joining a space base, one is whether to join, and the other is whether the cost of joining can be afforded. But for the EU, it is a question of whether it can join. If this problem is not solved, they are not qualified to discuss the question of whether to join, let alone what franchise fee can bear.

Since the establishment of Galaxy Space, especially after the successful test flight of the Galaxy spaceplane and the launch of the clairvoyant space telescope, the EU's attitude towards Galaxy Industry has been greatly loosened, but it has not been able to put down the shelf and bow to Galaxy Industry. That's when many EU member states thought of the European Space Agency. This organization has no affiliation with the European Union, and like Galaxy Industry, it is also engaged in aerospace, and the use of the European Space Agency can not only avoid the question of whether the EU will bow to Galaxy Industry, but also obtain the benefits brought by technological exchanges.

It's just that Europeans can make calculations, and Galaxy Industry is not short of masters in this area. The European Space Agency has a total of 11 member countries, namely France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany in second place. The stalemate between Galaxy Industry and the European Union is largely due to the brutal treatment of Wang Zewei and Yang Nuoting by the German police, and to this day, the German government has not made a clear statement, and the German police are also not, they should go to work, they should receive salaries, and even some radical German non-governmental organizations have praised them as national heroes.

In this context, even if the European Space Agency says that it is out of the sky, it is impossible for Galaxy Industry to have any cooperative relationship with the European Space Agency, unless Germany withdraws from the European Space Agency, which is obviously impossible.

In this way, there are only two ways in front of the EU and Germany, one is to bow to Galaxy Industry, economic compensation must be indispensable, and it is necessary to admit mistakes and apologize, lose money and lose face. However, after doing so, the relationship between the EU and Galaxy Industry can be improved, and Galaxy Industry can open its doors to the EU and resume cooperation. The second way is to continue the stalemate, and if the EU and Germany do not bow their heads, the EU and Germany will not want to participate in the space base project.

Of course, there is another way in front of other EU member states, that is, to get rid of the EU and Germany, and reach a cooperation agreement with Galaxy Industry alone, but in doing so, it obviously violates the EU's ban on any form of cooperation between member states and Galaxy Industry, which is tantamount to challenging the authority and value of the EU. It took Europe decades to gradually build up the European Union and take difficult steps towards European unification, and if the value of the EU is denied, it does not mean that all the efforts made by European countries over the years have been in vain, and there will be no value.

The problem is that there are piles of them, and there are no peaceful days within the EU at all, quarrels, accusations, slapping the table and glaring at the eyes, and even sometimes, there is an all-out military act, which is the mainstream of the European Parliament during these days.

At this time, King Charles, who was on a state visit to China, proposed to meet with Liu Shiqing to discuss the possibility of cooperation between the British government and Galactic Space.

Britain has joined the European Union, but the United Kingdom is very different from the countries of the European continent in terms of political willingness, insisting on using the pound, not using the euro, bypassing the European Union, and contacting Galaxy Industry, which is different from the status of other EU member states.

In the past, there were other member states that accused Britain of not obeying the unified arrangement of the European Union, only taking care of their own interests, ignoring the interests of allies, but now, there is almost no voice within the EU to blame the United Kingdom, even if there is, it is also appropriate to the situation, very weak, even the Eastern European countries that used to accuse the United Kingdom of the most powerful, have also shut up, they also envy the United Kingdom and the Galaxy Industry is still a good relationship, and they are eager to be like the United Kingdom, and the Galaxy Industry to strengthen cooperation, they also hope that the United Kingdom can be in the middle to help them match, How can it be possible to blame Britain as before. Isn't this uncomfortable for yourself?
