In the evening, Pang Qiu enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at a distant relative's house, the local hypergravity environment, resulting in the muscles of poultry and livestock are very tight, very chewy and delicious, which makes him a little envious, of course, this brings a 10-fold increase in the cost of breeding, so that his idea of trying to buy and sell local poultry and livestock is instantly extinguished.

"Big brother, you plan to stay on the planet for three months and then return to Earth, right?" Between dinners, distant relatives let their families and the workers they hired appear, and the feeling of being a hot family inevitably made Pang Qiu, who was alone, more and more envious.

"But no, there will be a lot of problems with the transportation of crystal worms, and if there is a problem in one link, I will go bankrupt, how can I do it if I don't look at it!" Pang Qiu said seriously and responsibly, "So, I also want to stay here for a while to see the customs of Hope Star, but the reality does not allow it." ”

"Hehe, I also want to do my best to be a landlord." The distant relatives smiled and continued, "Big brother, you don't have a chance to stay here for too long... I don't know how much time it will take to meet again in the future. ”

Between the words, they lamented that time had flown by, and in the blink of an eye, they had changed from young to middle-aged, although there was a longevity elixir, but it was obviously unrealistic for ordinary immigrants to fantasize about immortality.

Only those big people have the possibility to continue to live, with a lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years, and the material will always be inclined to the powerful, which is the fundamental law of society, and it is difficult for anyone to solve it.

So they are still successful immigrants basically live to be 300 years old, which is the most ideal situation, there will be people who will try to resist, but this kind of rebellion is not destined to have a good result, even if it is successful, it is just a change of people, because they still can't change the pattern of this pyramid.

"Imagine something as great as the universe. The resources are also uneven, most of the matter is concentrated in the star cluster, and even in the center of the galaxy, above the cantilever, leaving an extremely large area empty and nothing, indicating that this is also the law of nature. Pang Qiu sighed.

His distant relative suddenly said, "We still have to try as hard as we can." To fulfill our wishes, aren't they? Everyone has dreams, in the past we didn't have enough food and clothing, of course, we always want to make money, but we have some savings, we can do something else. ”

Like the 13-nation alliance of Europa in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it drew enough blood from the colonies, and like the beacon of freedom that sucked the blood of the world's economies after World War II, the affluent economy kept the domestic welfare high. As a result, a rich and colorful cultural life was born.

Adventurer, archaeologist, philanthropist, circumnavigating the globe, protecting small animals... These are only born and popular when the idle eggs hurt and the money has nowhere to spend.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Pang Qiu felt that this distant relative had drunk too much and talked a little too much today.

"Hey, big brother. I wonder if you are interested in investing in Deep Space Road exploration? This is Centaur Alpha's most promising business. ”

"Sponsor a captain who has the ability to manage the ship's crew well and has the favor of the God of Wealth. Explore the surrounding planets along the path of deep space, spend three or five years, and find a planet with a small amount of pioneering value, that is, 2 million merits, and several times the monetary subsidy of that value, which will be distributed to each person at least more than 5 million. ”

"Don't you think it's a fun thing to do?"

"I seem to have heard," Pang Qiu had checked into the hotel the day before yesterday. I heard from afar that the group of interstellar merchants who had come from afar were discussing related matters with the local merchants, and expressed great interest.

"But aren't you afraid of liars?"

"I'm afraid, so we need our eyes to discern," the distant relative pointed to himself, "next week, there's a private party in Hope City." There will be several exploration plans to raise investment, why don't you go with me, big brother? ”

Pang Qiu agreed, his only worry was that he didn't have time to worry about more things, but at least there would be no problem to see, such an opportunity was definitely a good opportunity for him as an ordinary businessman with a family fortune of only hundreds of millions.

……

A week later, in the business district of Hope City, a secluded palace-like clubhouse, there were first-generation immigrants from the local area, as well as many wealthy people from the solar system.

What they were to discuss was a plan to explore the path of deep space.

Private capital has always been a powerful force. If a small part of the GDP tax revenue is what East Galaxy can really use, and there is usually no surplus every year, private capital will accumulate year after year, for example, the nearly 100 people present add up, enough to use more than 300 billion funds to support the continuous operation of a Yuanyang-class spaceship.

The exploration of the deep space road is a relatively expensive and bottomless thing, which will occupy a lot of manpower and material resources, but the difficulty is not high, so through the efforts of the development department, all the cosmic space with a range of more than ten light years is listed as a pending exploration site, so that no matter who finds something good, the East Galaxy Company will give corresponding rewards and privileges, and can make full use of the power of private capital.

In the past 10 years, with the approval of the Qiao Canal, several private Hengyue-class spacecraft have set off to explore the world two or three light-years away.

Although most star systems usually have no value to explore, because of the existence of deep space roads, it is possible to open up even very barren places with reduced costs, and get a good return.

As everyone arrived, introducing each other, the host of the meeting, Nebas, an official of the Crystal Worm Trade Bureau of the Eastern Galaxy Company, began to give a brief speech according to the meeting process, and his appearance will tell everyone that this is something that the Eastern Galaxy Company supports, and then he will introduce the ships that will soon participate in the exploration of the Deep Space Road.

"Crossing the Horizon, the Hengyue-class spacecraft, the captain in charge of Captain Zheng Qing is a veteran captain with 30 years of astronautical experience, he has a crew of 200 under his command, and has discovered a planet rich in rare metals."

"Sweet Dream, a Moon-class spacecraft, the initiator Professor Amunler has secret observational data, and he promises to lead everyone to a planet with abundant energy."

"The Abaddon..."

"Tower? The Briel..."

Due to the high price of the spacecraft, as well as the maintenance costs during the period, the expenses of employees, and a considerable degree of uncertainty, private capital preparation and development plans usually take the form of multiple investors to share the costs and risks.

Each person contributes hundreds of millions, occupies a share, and if a benefit is found, he will receive a certain amount of merit, currency, and priority development rights on the corresponding planet (if the East Galaxy is not interested), and other policy preferences.

In addition, rich people are not necessarily experts in exploration, and it will be much easier for them to give money to more suitable people and follow the boat at most.

Pang Qiu watched from the side, he was the most inconspicuous figure here, but he was also qualified to invest, if the exploration team he invested in found something good, how much return would he get? At least 300%, which is enough for the capitalists to trample on everything in the world. (To be continued.) )
