Chapter 37: Ten Million? That's the cost
Back at the company, Lin Ju rummaged in the room of the R&D department for any technology with the potential to make money.
"RX01 data bus? Anderov, what else can this do besides rockets? ”
"Airplanes can also be, especially future fighters with high-performance multi-electronic equipment, but I don't advise you to fight its idea, there are too few military orders, and civilian cars and civil aviation can't use this thing."
"What about this? Rocket recovery control system? Can it be used for intelligent driving? ”
"Uh...... Theoretically, its learning algorithm has great potential, but if it is to be transformed like this, the investment cost is at least 3 to 5 billion. ”
"Ceramic insulating tiles?"
"Its insulation effect is very good, but I'm afraid it can't be sold at a cost of 4,000 yuan a piece."
"Hiss ~ space docking composite radar ranging system?"
"I'm afraid the trajectory of a car is much slower than that of a spacecraft."
“……”
Xinyuan's technology library has been doubled by more than half, and Lin Ju found that there are quite a lot of powerful technical reserves, but there are basically no ones that can be turned into civilian products to make money, or it is far from meeting his expectations.
Entering other industries? It doesn't seem to be very good, Xinyuan doesn't have unique technology in the professional field, and he doesn't have the ability to predict, so don't get involved with those who are engaged in finance.
As for buying bitcoin, although it is a shortcut for the reborn to get rich, Lin Ju can't look down on this thing now, although Lao Ma can speculate on dogecoin, but good entrepreneurs in China don't do it to speculate on coins.
Investing in short videos? It's a good idea, but that's at least after 2016.
Anderov watched Lin Ju write and draw on the paper, blacking out a large section of content from time to time, and finally couldn't help but say:
"Boss, we shouldn't always think about making all this hard-earned money, investing too much and it's not our specialty."
Lin Ju raised his head and looked at Anderov, who had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a beard:
"If you don't make their money, whose money do you make?"
"Whoever has the money earns whose money"
"How do you make money from rich people? I don't have financing. ”
Anderov slapped his thigh and got up and brought a small wooden model of the H1 space shuttle.
"This, or the Alliance spacecraft or the Shenzhou spacecraft, which is better? Which is more advanced? ”
"Of course it's a space shuttle, and it's a lot bigger."
In 2001, Dennis. Tito travels to the International Space Station for eight days on a Lucia Soyuz spacecraft for $20 million.
Ami was very dissatisfied with Lucia's behavior, and Tito was trained as a grandson by the Ami astronauts, which I later looked at in the archives in great detail.
Our space shuttle can stay in space for 24 hours, has a cargo bay with a view, and can even sit down for coffee, which is more comfortable than a spacecraft, and is designed for tourism, how much should I charge for such a flight experience? ”
Lin Ju compared, the former Dennis was brought by Lucia to the space station, and he can specialize in space tourism, and considering that Dennis is an eight-day trip to the space station, he thought about it and stretched out a finger:
"I think I have to count it anyway."
"Ten million? That's the cost! Anderov shook his head vigorously, slammed the model against the table, and then handsomely stretched out three fingers:
"It's 30 million dollars, and it's not discounted! The rich who can afford to pay 10 million US dollars to go to space don't care about shelling out another 20 million! At that time, the commander will have to keep a straight face, but if the rich man wants to touch something, he must use the authentic Tieling dialect to say: What do you see! Bei'er has face. ”
"Ah, just let people go up and walk around, and they will be scolded, so they will collect 30 million US dollars, more than 200 million?"
Lin Ju thought about it, the estimated cost of launching H1 Xinyuan-2 is 48 million rounds, the manufacturing cost of H1 is more than 200 million, and the cost of the entire mission is 250 million, but you only need to bring one person to recover all the costs?
Anderov also continues to fan the flames:
"The bottom of the H1 space shuttle has a pair of interfaces, according to the technology we have mastered, it is possible to manufacture a long-term orbital operation of the module, the maximum diameter of 5 meters, the empty weight of about 15 tons, the internal volume can be 70 to 80 cubic meters, exclusively for tourism and sightseeing.
Because it is not equipped with scientific research facilities, the cost is about 30 million, and it is not too much to charge an extra 20 million US dollars for 7 days in such a cabin, right? ”
50 million US dollars, is it expensive to enjoy a 7-day tour in space? It's not expensive at all!
You must know that inflation is not as good as it was more than a decade ago, but it is very cost-effective.
If you send two rich people at a time, you will receive 700 million yuan for freight alone, and you can earn two more H1s by recovering all the costs at one time!
Lin Ju took a deep breath, trembling and groping for his mobile phone to dial Cai Yuanfa's call:
"Uncle Cai, in addition to investment institutions, did some individual investors come to us for investment before?
Okay, can you list all the individuals who have provided more than 20 million US dollars in funds, and help me ask, will the 7-day space tour come? ”
……
"Empty fork wants to exchange shares with me? 1 billion US dollars in financing and 10% equity, and ask me to be the CEO? The old horse is crazy, don't go, don't go. ”
Lin Ju hung up the phone and took a sip of "bah" towards the phone.
Just now, Cai Yuanfa told him that Lao Ma actually took the initiative to contact him, wanting to exchange the shares and funds of the empty fork for cross-shareholding and Lin Ju concurrently serving as the CEO of the empty fork.
This is a white wolf with empty gloves! The old horse's wolf ambition is not restrained, which is also outrageous.
However, in addition to Lao Ma, the two giants of Penguin and Ahri have also expressed their investment intentions many times, but they are not very interested in rockets, but giant companies habitually plug in one foot and one foot in the west, and those who engage in the Internet are like this.
Lin Ju really wanted to take out money from the two horses, that is, to fool the two of them into traveling to space, but the PPT was not done yet, so he had to postpone it for a few days.
In the past few days, he has also talked to Professor Tang Weitian on the phone, and he has learned about the big turn of the space agency, and he can't help but feel a lot of emotion.
In the previous life, the Falcon 9 of the old horse was continuously recovered, and the development of the Long March series rockets in the back was completely ended, and there was no need for modification, so the space agency only studied how to reuse the two types of super rockets in the back.
Now that several projects are not yet mature and can be modified, the space agency is making a U-turn with great efficiency and rushing down the road to reusability.
As for whether they can succeed or not? Lin Ju felt that with the national strength of Huaguo, it would definitely work.
After all, the reusable rocket itself is not only open and hanging, but without a control system, it is difficult to say whether it will bomb like an old horse.
Moreover, Huaguo Aerospace also has a characteristic that the production capacity is not high, usually a rocket is produced in a year, at most two or three, and it is difficult to say how long it will be bombed.
Of course, it is difficult to say whether the space agency will propose such a strange route as the recovery of rope nets in the previous life and the overall recovery of core-level boosters, in case other roads can be taken?
In any case, Huaguo Aerospace has embarked on a completely different path anyway, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of changes in the rocket configuration in the future.
The top priority now is to make money and fool Kaizi into taking the space shuttle.
On October 14, the first-stage rocket of Xinyuan-1B was pulled to the launch site again.
