Chapter 475: Europeans are very angry, so angry that they smoke in the seven orifices
"Deal!"
Elon Musk has no hesitation and no reason to refuse.
Judging from this business alone, it will be in default with ESA, and the Europeans can only earn about 40 million or even less than 40 million US dollars in profits from this launch business, while this list of coastline companies can earn 700 million US dollars in profits for SpaceX in a year, and the liquidated damages have been paid in advance.
The key Elon Musk is now worried that if he does not agree to Ye Hua, this small boat of friendship may be overturned, and most of Tesla will quickly cool down from its current hot state.
This young Chinese man is easy to say everything when he is good to speak, and the boat of friendship is overturned when he is not easy to say.
No matter how you look at it, you have to say yes.
Hearing his words just now, "Iron Man" tightened by three points.
And Elon Musk is not panicking about ESA at all, knowing that the Europeans don't have much money now, and if they delay it, they still have to come over to discuss it in the end, relying on SpaceX to launch, and making a lot of money at both ends.
As for whether Europeans will vomit blood in anger, "Iron Man" said that it has nothing to do with me, an American businessman.
"Happy working together!"
The two sides happily touched glasses, and a preliminary consensus was reached.
"I take the liberty of asking, can your company complete the manufacture of 86 large satellites within this year?" Elon Musk took a sip of champagne and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Large-scale manufacturing began three months ago, opening the way with money and buying time." Ye Hua smiled confidently, rich and capricious, glanced at him and added: "You don't have to worry about no satellite launch, the required launch satellite will definitely be delivered before your launch window arrives, just don't blow up my satellite, frankly speaking, it is expensive for 220 million US dollars, and it will cost 420 million US dollars for one bomb, I can accept it once I bomb it, I can bear it twice, and I can't bear it three times." β
All right......
Elon Musk smiled embarrassedly and politely, because he received a launch business from Google last year, and the satellites needed by Google Maps were directly blown up when they reached the stratosphere during the launch, and the cost of Google's satellites reached $185 million, and Google was also very depressed when he took the Falcon rocket.
Generally speaking, SpaceX's launch business is mature and reliable, after all, no rocket launch can ensure 100% success, and the success rate can be guaranteed within a controllable range.
However, with Ye Hua's guarantee, he is also relieved, and he also believes it, Huaxia's speed is obvious to the world, and more than 80 satellites will be built within a year, if it is someone else, Musk will never believe it, but if it is said that it is Huaxia, he will not be too suspicious, and he is a rich master like Ye Hua, who must have spent more money to improve production efficiency.
all frankly admitted that they opened the way with money.
In fact, in order to speed up the progress and keep up with the launch window, a space-based wireless transmission relay satellite originally only needed $170 million, which is equivalent to an additional $50 million to buy the time cost.
In exchange for a large sum of money for time, only a master like the Coastline Group, who is not short of money, can do it.
If you have money, you can really do whatever you want, and it makes friends very angry, and RMB players can't afford to mess with it.
This time, the total investment amount of Coastline Group in the space-based transmission system is 28.8 billion US dollars, in other words, a huge investment of nearly 200 billion yuan.
In the second half of last year, thanks to the recovery of global business, the total revenue of the group company reached 272.3 billion US dollars, and the total profit was 48.7 billion US dollars, and this year it will spend 28.8 billion US dollars, which is more than 10 billion US dollars more than last year in the company's R&D investment budget.
There is also the construction of terrestrial radio towers, the State Grid has a large head, and the coastline company has a small head, but the small head is not small.
There is also the investment of Dolphin International Water, plus the investment of Dolphin Travel.
A rough calculation of this account, not only will the profits earned last year have to be spent this year, but you may also need to eat a lot of old capital.
However, Ye Hua is not distressed, these funds are invested on a large scale, and they will get excess returns in unimaginable volumes in the future.
Elon Musk came and returned quickly, and when he flew from North America to Yongzhen, he came to meet Ye Hua without jet lag, and quickly rushed to North America after reaching a consensus on cooperation.
This trip "Iron Man" is very satisfied, it can be said that it is a full load, but it is not taken lightly, although this time it can make SpaceX a lot of money, although doing business with Ye Hua's partner is pleasant, but the pressure is also huge.
Chinese people hate the most grinding partners in their careers, and the Coastline Group will not wait for SpaceX, only SpaceX will cooperate with the coastline.
As for Ye Hua, he put more energy into the development of holographic bracelet PHM, investing nearly 30 billion US dollars to build a space-based transmission system around the world, to a large extent, it is also to create a favorable market environment for wireless power products such as holographic bracelets.
It can be said that if Shoreline Company wants to develop a product, it does not know how many companies it has fed, and indirectly it does not know how many high-quality jobs have been created.
Not to mention that after the completion of the construction of the day-based power transmission system, major electronic product manufacturers will inevitably join in, such as air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens, etc.
The era of wireless energy is a major trend in the future.
It can be seen that the coastline group is developing more and more in the direction of being too big to fail.

ESA headquarters.
"What do you say? Elon Musk announced the dissolution of the Galileo system's three launches this year? β
In an office, ESA Director Jacques DordΓ‘n looked at his subordinates who came to report with a shocked look, and immediately said: "Impossible, SpaceX will pay a painful price of 450 million euros for this, why does he dare to terminate the cooperation?" Reason? β
The Galileo project is regarded by Europeans in Europe as a symbol of European integration, and EU Commissioner for Industry Bienkovska said that no European country can complete the Galileo system alone.
"The day before yesterday, Elon Musk hurried to China to have a brief meeting with Ye Hua, the founder of the Coastline Group, and soon after returning to North America, SpaceX announced the unilateral termination of the launch cooperation with ESA the next day, and at the same time announced that it had reached a $1.9 billion contract with the Coastline Group Life Ray, and it was reported that SpaceX's launch resources throughout this year have been contracted by Life Ray."
As soon as his subordinates reported this, Jacques Dordain seemed to understand, and suddenly roared angrily: "Damn the Chinese people have come to intervene again, this is obviously aimed at the Galileo system, the $1.9 billion contract, it must be that SpaceX has made a lot of profits enough to bear the high liquidated damages, damn the Americans, damn the Chinese!! β
The angry Jacques Dordan soon woke up from a dream, and the Chinese stepped in and took all the launch resources of SpaceX at once, what is this for?
Regardless of what to do, now Galileo's launch resources have been robbed, which also means that satellite orbit resources will also be robbed.
The original satellite orbit resources of the Galileo system were "looted" by the Beidou navigation of the Chinese people, so they had to re-plan the orbital resources.
"No, if the Galileo system goes on like this, it will be finished, and if you want to occupy the orbital resources before the Chinese, you can only rely on the Russians' Soyuz rockets now." Jacques Dordan muttered to himself.
What comforted him was that SpaceX had to pay 450 million euros in liquidated damages for this unilateral breach of contract, which was just enough to place an order for Russia, which could only be cheaper, but it was better than even the orbital resources being robbed by the Chinese.
But at this moment, the subordinate who heard him talking to himself said weakly: "Mr. Jacques, I have to regret to tell you that Russia's Soyuz rocket launch resources have also been robbed by the Huaxia...... We can't compete with the coastline in terms of money, he's much richer than we are. β
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Jacques Dordan was almost so angry that he burst into smoke.
