[Chapter 298: Fat List]
“…… Thank you again, I hope the forum summit will be more and more successful, thank you! Due to time constraints, Ren Hong only answered the questions of the three reporters briefly and quickly, and when he walked back to his seat, he once again ushered in a round of applause.
The participants present watched Ren Hong's calm and steady steps, and many American entrepreneurs sighed.
"There is a great figure in the Chinese business world, and twenty years later, this is another godfather who has influenced a generation or even generations."
"Actually, it's counted, but his achievements are completely disproportionate to his age, and it's a bit ...... to be called a godfather at this age."
"He reminds me of Steve. Jobs. As the head of the company, it is technology that is born, which has created today's XlouS, a company that leads change with technology. ”
In the previous forums and summits, the opening speech of the business tycoon, Ren Hong's appearance set a new record, he became the youngest one, but the content of the speech does not have to be bad in the past, the real success is judged by age.
After the first day of the three-day roundtable, Ren Hong returned to the hotel, where he was browsing the information of several companies. Musk's SpaceX SpaceX company, in addition to that, he is also learning about other companies related to commercial activities in space. Eventually, another company, Laura Space Systems, SS/L, was locked.
Ren Hong was invited to participate in this forum summit, across the ocean to Seattle, the United States, in the deeper purpose of having other plans, in short, for the virtual world, now the problem of the data processing center of the virtual world has been solved, this is still under the premise of cooperation with D-Wave, if the matrix technology itself to develop the hardware of the quantum computer, it is impossible to launch the virtual world in three years, fortunately, the cooperation with D-Wave company solves this problem, But there's a lot to be said about this project, and that's just one aspect.
The purpose of this trip to Seattle is to solve another very important problem, which is to cover the virtual world around the world.
After the first day of the summit, Ren Hong returned to his hotel, fortunately, he was not too keen on going out, after all, this is the United States, and safety is still very important. The three-day summit and the seventh day will be accompanied by the country's leaders, and even if anyone wants to visit the exotic country, there is no time.
There is a very important meeting tonight.
"Boss, it's time." Ding Yang called to inform.
Just as Ren Hong was leaving, on the other side, another celebrity in the technology circle, Elon. Musk also left his house, and Musk's assistant told him that Ren Hong had invited him, which couldn't help but remind the tech maniac of a seemingly casual remark he said when they just met today.
Is XlouS really going to work with SpaceX?
Ren Hong's personal invitation, Musk naturally had no reason to refuse, and he gladly accepted it immediately. He even turned down an invitation to a dinner party because of this, and it was clear that he was looking forward to a private meeting. You must know that SpaceX has only recently taken over a big order from Alphabet, if it reaches another cooperation deal with Matrix Technology, SpaceXd's revenue this year may exceed the sum of the company's founding, he does not know what Ren Hong said about the specific matters of cooperation, but SpaceX's core business is rocket transportation, which can basically be determined to be related to space launches.
"Mr. Sean?" Elon. Musk looked at a familiar figure in surprise, at this moment, he had come to the designated appointment place, but what surprised him was that he saw a peer in the industry here.
Sean. Victor was dressed in a formal black suit with a mustache and was older than Elon. Musk has five more years, and this is the current head of the famous American satellite manufacturing company, namely Laura Space Systems (SS/L), which is also one of the 15 companies representing the United States at the forum summit.
Compared with Musk's SpaceX, Laura Space Systems has a long history, this company was founded in 1957, and even participated in the space arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union that year, becoming an important general of the United States. Laura Space Systems is involved in the construction of various types of satellites and the testing of the payloads of their space systems in the space sector. The company also provides in-orbit testing, insurance procurement and launch services to customers around the world, and has built more than 270 satellites for customers around the world to date, of which 80 are still in orbit. The resume is quite good, which is why Ren Hong takes a fancy to this company.
Laura Space Systems SS/L and SpaceX are strictly competitive in the rocket launch business, but in this field, SpaceX's recyclable rockets are obviously more competitive, in fact, the rise of SpaceX has shrunk the launch business of the world's top ten private aerospace companies year by year.
Laura Space Systems has turned from a profit at the beginning to a loss for four consecutive years in launch services, and many of its original customers have all thrown themselves into the arms of the newly emerging SpaceX.
"What a coincidence, you're here too, Mr. Elon." Sean said in surprise, and the two shook hands politely,
Fortunately, the core business of Laura Space Systems is satellite manufacturing, and launch services are just a side business of the company, otherwise it would be impossible to meet Musk and talk and laugh so calmly.
As the saying goes, peers are enemies.
SpaceX has risen too fast in the industry, and it stands to reason that the original top ten aerospace companies will be suppressed. Musk has the support of NASA behind him, and SpaceX's Falcon series rockets have core technologies provided by NASA, and then SpaceX absorbs them to develop a new generation of Falcon series.
This is not a bad PY deal behind it, NASA urgently needs to withdraw from traditional commercial operations, so as to be more purely oriented to more professional space exploration, and finally took a fancy to SpaceX, which took over almost all of NASA's launch services.
In short, SpaceX has the full backing of the American "national team", which is another important factor in why it has been able to rise so quickly.
"You're also here to see Mr. Ren?"
"Uh......"
The two said in unison, and they were stunned at the same time, and they were stunned for a long time.
"It seems so." Elon. Musk reluctantly opened his hand and said: "Oh, don't Ren know that SpaceX and SS/L are competing?" ”
"Of course I do." At this moment, Ren Hong's voice suddenly came. When the two of them heard the prestige, they saw Ren Hong and Ding Yang walking slowly, and said with a smile: "SpaceX has killed the launch services of the world's top ten aerospace companies, including SS/L, and I guess Laura Space Systems will soon stop providing launch services to the outside world." ”
Sean shook his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "No way, Elon doesn't give him a way to live, and he has been hanging a department that keeps losing money, and everyone will be unhappy." ”
"Ha~~" Elon. Musk immediately laughed, and the three of them burst into laughter.
Ren Hong said: "Off topic, this is not what we want to talk about when we meet, let's go in and talk about it." ”
In a quiet box, three industry bigwigs gathered at a table, and Ren Hong said straight to the point: "This time, I invited the two of you to come over to meet because I wanted to give one of you a fat order." ”
"Fat Order??" Sean and Musk immediately looked at each other.
"Not bad!" Ren Hong nodded slightly, looked at the two of them with a smile, and added, "I just don't know if you have the ability and appetite to eat this deal of Matrix Technology." ”
"How fat?" Elon. Musk moved his body, changed his sitting position, looked at each other with interest, and asked.
"I need 120 signal relay satellites." Ren Hong looked at Sean with a smile and said, and at the same time turned to Elon. Musk, said: "...... Within three years, 100 of them will be put into low-earth orbit and 20 in high-altitude orbit. ”
The two of them suddenly widened their eyes when they heard this, how to stop fat? Sean's face did not change, but he was steady, and asked uncertainly: "120...... Relay satellites? ”
Ren Hong looked at the two of them with surprised looks very calmly, and said slowly: "In fact, there are more than 120 satellites, and Matrix Technology will decide to launch a total of more than 240 satellites into the earth's low-earth orbit, high-altitude orbit and geosynchronous orbit within three years. In addition to these 120, the rest of the China National Space Administration will take over. ”
"Oh, my God." Sean was also shocked.
"What is XlouS going to do?" Musk, who had been silent for a long time, said a short sentence, he was too curious about what Matrix Technology wanted to do in three years to launch such a satellite?
"Wait, three years? Zach also said that in the past ......three years, "Musk immediately thought of some news about Matrix Technology in the past, including the announcement that a mysterious mega project was underway, and all kinds of signs that Facebook was already involved.
"Keep it secret for now, after three years, everything will be revealed, and I promise you will all become my users." Ren Hong said with a smile, extremely confident, he was reluctant to reveal, and finally he added, when he looked at the two, he said, "Then the two of you, are you interested in taking this fat order?" ”
