"Mr. Jiang, I am the chairman of Huaguo Aerospace Technology Group. Here is my business card. I heard that you have leased a port in Star Ring City to SpaceX? I wonder if you have any plans to lease the port? Our price is definitely You won’t be disappointed!”
"I have admired him for a long time! I have often heard that Mr. Jiang is young and promising. Now I see that he is indeed a talented person! I am the president of Yike Real Estate Group. This is my business card. I hope Mr. Jiang will accept it. I heard that Xinghuan City's external There are two thousand acres of land for the Chinese space station that has yet to be developed? We have more than 30 years of experience in developing real estate. I hope Mr. Jiang can give more consideration to our Yike Group. Whether it is capital or technology, Our strength is guaranteed!"
"... I am the president of Bigelow Aerospace. Haha, it's been a long time. I even shook hands with you at the Silicon Valley Innovation Conference... We have deep research in the field of inflatable spacecraft. I wonder if you interested?"
“…”
The speech session is over, followed by the communication session.
As soon as Jiang Chen walked from the podium into the venue, he was surrounded by a group of entrepreneurs, and all kinds of business cards were stuffed one after another. Of course, the invited visitors were all elites from all walks of life. Even though they were enthusiastic, they behaved quite reservedly, and the venue did not fall into chaos.
Nearly 370 groups from all over the world expressed interest in cooperation, and 50 companies negotiated and signed agreements on the spot. Huaguo Aerospace Technology Group, following SpaceX, signed a port lease agreement with Xinghuan Trading. At a price of S$170 million, berths for five small and medium-sized aircraft will be leased for ten years. After ten years, Huaguo Aviation Technology has the first right to renew the lease.
The Russian Aerospace Corporation subsequently rented three berths in preparation for the development of its own outer space spacecraft.
This kind of cooperation with national enterprises has far greater diplomatic and political significance than economic significance, so Jiang Chen did not give them a fortune in the port rental price. After all, if you rent a port and transport things to the port in the future, you can't avoid the space elevator, right? For every kilogram of materials transported to space, a certain transportation fee must be paid to Star Ring Trading. Although it is not much money, it is equivalent to a long-term and stable meal ticket.
However, the real profit comes from cooperation with companies from various countries.
For example, China's Yike Real Estate Group, a large company with a market value of 100 billion, directly spent 1.5 billion Singapore dollars to buy the development rights of an external space station with an area of 700 acres from Xinghuan Trading. Ambitiously preparing to turn this more than 700 acres of construction land into the most prosperous commercial district in the entire Star Ring City.
Converted into RMB, it is equivalent to more than 20,000 yuan per square meter, which is already higher than the land price in the city center of some cities. You know, the entire Star Ring City is not yet open to the outside world, and the risks involved are self-evident.
However, the boss of Yike Group does not think so. He sent the group's best salesmen to inspect Star Ring City. Whether it was the convenient transportation or the potential commercial development value, it was worth every penny.
Although it is indeed distressing to spend more than 10 billion RMB, if these 700 acres of real estate are developed, merchants from all over the world will rush to move into his commercial street, and the money he earns will also come from all over the world.
Not only Yike Group is ambitious, but also Yida Group, which is preparing to invest in building a cinema in Star Ring City, Intercontinental Group, which is not to be outdone by Hilton Hotels, and ArcelorMittal Steel Group, which is preparing to lease 6x4 interfaces. .
As the world's largest steel producer, ArcelorMittal Steel Group naturally has its own advantages in taking the lead in this sluggish steel market environment. After seeing the electric stingray P-1 mining video released by Starlink Trading, they immediately saw the broad market prospects of space mining.
It doesn't matter if they don't have technology, they have enough money to hire people to help design the space station. In the face of the power of capital, as long as the technical conditions are sufficient, these are not problems at all. After the birth of the space elevator, a large number of aerospace companies in Silicon Valley have exceeded expectations and are undergoing industrial transformation with difficulty.
The Star Ring Trade has left them a way to survive. I believe that after the outer space resources forum is over, many large companies will come to invest. Designing space stations with different functions will become a very profitable way to make money. , instead of launching commercial satellites.
…
The sea breeze blew by, taking away some of the temperature.
A very unique sightseeing platform has been built on the seaside not far from the Future Man Building. The working environment of Futureman Group is very relaxed, and many employees choose to eat here during their lunch break. But now it is night, it is very quiet here, there is no one around.
With the sound of the ocean surging in his ears, Jiang Chen lay on the railing, lit a cigarette, and looked at the seaside quietly, his thoughts drifting away with the sea breeze.
Tonight, he signed a contract worth at least S$60 billion. Later, because there were too many people, he pushed the rest of the entertainment to Xia Shiyu and other company executives, and slipped out alone.
Now this number should be doubled. Xia Shiyu's business ability is many times stronger than hers. Jiang Chen is looking forward to whether this number can exceed 100 billion when the entire outer space resources forum is over.
Whether it is 60 billion or 100 billion, converted into U.S. dollars, including several previous incomes, all investments in the space elevator have been successfully recovered. After paying off the loan from Future People's Bank, Future People Group's capital chain, which had been tight for almost a year, gradually relaxed.
With the completion of the space elevator, Jiang Chen felt that a lot of the burden on his shoulders had been lifted.
The space elevator appeared more than fifty years earlier than in history.
In this way, even if one day in the future we face the colonial ships of the harmonious civilization, human civilization will not be helpless to fight back.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.
He found that he was actually worrying about things more than a hundred years later. It was really too...
For a while, he couldn't think of any words to use to describe himself.
At this time, a windbreaker was draped on himself.
Jiang Chen turned around and met those sapphire-like eyes.
"Don't get cold."
The slightly curly hair was messy in the sea breeze, and before he knew it, Ayesha was already standing behind him.
"Yes." Jiang Chen smiled slightly and responded to her tenderness, "Thank you."
"What are you thinking about?"
"Probably... not really. I just remembered something far away."
Not far away, Ye Yunfei was also standing on the beach, looking at the two people cuddling together from a distance.
At the moment she was wearing a light blue evening dress and holding a bottle of champagne in her hand.
To be honest, she was surprised.
This opening of outer space resources completely changed her impression of him.
The entrepreneurs present are all smarter than foxes. Being able to ignite their investment enthusiasm with a speech is simply harder than convincing a mouse to catch a cat. Even with her experience, she had to admit that that speech was indeed a classic.
Originally she thought he was just a lucky upstart, but she didn't expect that he still had a few things left...
So much so that she suddenly felt that he was not so annoying anymore.
As for the good impression…
Just a tiny bit, she swore.
Thinking about what her father said to her on the phone, just when she finally made up her mind and prepared to take the initiative to approach Jiang Chen, she saw the two embracing each other. The determination that was finally made was gone in the wind before it even started.
Ye Yunfei relaxed her pursed lips and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"fair enough."
After muttering something unclear, she tilted the glass slightly, poured the champagne into the sea, and turned to leave. (.)
