Interstellar Energy Tycoon.

Netizens made various speculations, and many conspiracy theories emerged.

"What does Xingyuan Group want to do? It plans to kill most of the humans, and then implement corporate rule?"

"With a speed of more than 200 kilometers per second and a weight of hundreds of thousands of tons, once it hits the Azure Star, it will have a power equivalent to the explosive equivalent of billions of tons, no worse than the power of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs."

"Will the Xingyuan Group do this to engage in extortion, demanding money from all countries in the world, and if they don't meet the requirements of the Xingyuan Group, they will come directly to them? Even if they don't ask for money, they will definitely make other demands. If they don't agree, it will be over."

"This is a more serious threat than nuclear deterrence, and the power of falling down is much more terrifying than nuclear weapons. Because nuclear weapons all over the world explode at the same time, it is impossible to destroy human beings, but the meteorite strike of Xingyuan Group can definitely do it."

"It's better to agree to the conditions proposed by Xingyuan Group, no matter whether it is money or other requirements, please agree. I don't want to die, I don't want to leave this wonderful world."

"That's right, it's better to surrender to Xingyuan Group. Our country's governance is too bad. It's better to let a company manage us. At least Xingyuan Group has a lot of energy and countless resources. I call on Xingyuan Group to take over our land full of despair and corruption." A small country netizen said.

"..."

These are the international public opinion.

Netizens in Huaguo are generally calm. They don't believe that the meteorite will turn a corner and hit the blue star. The possibility of this is zero.

What they guessed more was that the Xingyuan Group was making such a big splash, what kind of big move was it trying to release?
"Didn't Xingyuan Group say that they would not enter the space mining industry? Why did they break their promise and bring a large meteorite?"

"In my opinion, this is not an ordinary space meteorite, but a special meteorite with huge economic value. Although the revenue of various businesses of the Star Source Group can earn billions a day, this meteorite is at least a concept of hundreds of billions or trillions, and it is worth the effort of the Star Source Group."

"I guessed it! This must be a very high-value meteorite, which is full of diamonds and gold, and then pay the player's return on investment as soon as possible. The past few years have been the expansion period of Xingyuan Group, and the debt is getting bigger and bigger. There is no hope of fulfilling the promise, but Brother Xing is unwilling to keep the investors waiting for a long time... Actually, Brother Xing does not need to do this.

"Yeah, brother Xing is bad at this point. He always doesn't want to owe others anything. He never accepts shares and financing. He doesn't want to enjoy the convenience brought by the modern financial industry. He doesn't add any leverage. It can only be said that this kind of old farmer's thinking is too outdated and outdated. It should be changed."

"Indeed, if Xingyuan Group is willing to go public, it will immediately become a company with a market value exceeding [-] trillion yuan, and then use this money to carry out commercial expansion. Not to mention the stars in the solar system, dozens of stars around it can also be occupied and developed."

"That's right, brother Xing's pattern has not been opened yet, and he can only see this one star in the solar system. In fact, the Milky Way alone has more than 2000 billion stars, which can't be occupied in 10 years. Rather than thinking about monopolizing a single sun, it is better to consider the entire Milky Way, or even more galaxies."

……

May 11st, morning.

Xingyuan Group headquarters building, inside the president's office.

Li Xingyang received a call.

Zhao Changhong, the leader of the Aerospace Industry Group, called, and the words were a bit of an accusation:
"Xiao Li, your company sent a spacecraft to capture the 1973X6 comet. Why didn't you notify our space agency in advance of this matter? Without saying a word, you dragged something weighing hundreds of thousands of tons over here, which frightened all countries in the world. The leaders of our space agency answered dozens of calls and finally dispelled the concerns of the space agencies of various countries. But we are still kept in the dark and know nothing about this matter.

Facing the questioning of Leader Zhao.

"That's just getting some high-value minerals back. It's the same nature as going to the moon to mine. It's nothing special, it's not a big deal, so I don't want to make it known to everyone with a big fanfare, and I don't want to disturb the work and rest of the leaders. I just didn't expect to frighten some foreigners. I think it's all a fuss. I haven't seen the world. Fortunately, Leader Zhao, you have not been affected by them, and you have not compromised our country's demeanor of a big country and aerospace power..."

Li Xingyang paid a few words of flattery.

"Enough, don't be sloppy! You tell me the truth, what is going on? Astronomy experts say that comet 1973X6 contains a large amount of platinum, and the value may be as high as several trillion. Good guy, your Xingyuan Group captured this comet secretly? Xiao Li, tell me honestly, how much did you earn? Do you want to eat alone again? This is not possible, Xiao Li. Although the solar system is large, it should belong to the living space of all human beings. , not only belong to the Xingyuan Group, but now that the public opinion is so loud, how do you think it will end? How can we dispel everyone's fear and doubt?" Zhao Changhong said.

"Leader Zhao, I have to correct you. First of all, space is a land of no owner. It does not belong to the living space of all human beings. Only those who have the ability to enter space are qualified to be masters. This may not be correct, but it is true."

Li Xingyang said: "As for the reaction in public opinion, as long as the official releases an authoritative announcement to refute the rumors, the heat will subside in a few days. So I hope that Leader Zhao can help you explain a little bit more about this matter. And when the comet returns and the deceleration and braking are completed, the rumors on the Internet will disappear. Anyway, it's just a matter of waiting a few days."

"Xiao Li, you are creating a problem. Let us help you wipe your ass. Of course we can help you, but you have to tell me the truth, how much is the comet 1973X6 captured by your company worth? Tell me, are you going to get rich? Xiao Li, I have no other intentions, just want to evaluate. If capturing meteorites and comets is particularly profitable, our aerospace industry group will also do it to alleviate the serious debt problem." Zhao Changhong said.

"It's okay to answer this question, but I have to confirm that the country's ten-year tax exemption policy for space mining should also apply to the capture of comets and meteorites. No matter how much it is worth, I don't have to pay taxes, right?" Li Xingyang asked.

"Xiao Li, you are a watertight person, and you will not scatter eagles if you don't see a rabbit."

Zhao Changhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he still had to call the higher-ups and inquire about it.

It took more than an hour to get the instructions from the big leaders: space minerals involving a huge amount of value are not required to pay taxes, but they must be transparent, subject to certain supervision, and the government has the right of first refusal.

Zhao Changhong relayed this instruction, thinking that it would cause Li Xingyang's displeasure and make him feel uncomfortable, but unexpectedly Li Xingyang said: "The country enjoys the right of first refusal, which is completely fine, but I am worried that the country does not have the strength to buy it, so it may not be able to afford it."

"Hehe~"

Zhao Changhong laughed, and said with a chuckle: "Xiao Li, if the country can't buy it, who else can buy it? The money printing machine is in the hands of the country. As long as it is valuable, if you print hundreds of billions for exchange, these banknotes are valuable. With the current size of our country, it will not cause too much inflation."

"But the market value of this comet is estimated to be around 10 trillion."

Li Xingyang said: "The country prints so much money for me, and if I spend it all in a short period of time, it will definitely cause large price fluctuations, right? I just don't sell it at the market price, and sell it at a 5% discount. I guess the country won't be able to pay out the [-] trillion yuan, right?"

"Fuck!"

Zhao Changhong couldn't help swearing, and said with a blushing face, "If that's the case, you really can't afford it. Xiao Li, it's wrong for you to eat alone. Space meteorites, the Aerospace Industry Group also organizes manpower to catch them. You must provide convenience and agree to cooperate. Our country is burdened with a lot of debt. The development of these years has been restricted. Hands are restrained. I dare not increase the debt too much. I don't want to leave a bad mess for future generations. , we also want to be like your Xingyuan Group, travel light and develop at a fast pace, Xiao Li can help, otherwise we can only consider building our own space energy facilities."

"Help is fine. Energy is provided free of charge, and technical support is also available. But I have to share 30% of the meteorite profit. When it becomes unprofitable, I don't want the share. I only charge electricity." Li Xingyang said.

"Xiao Li, you are taxing us in reverse, 30% is too high." Zhao Changhong frowned.

"If it doesn't work, forget it, wait another two or three years, as long as Xingyuan Group is not short of money at all, I will be more generous here."

"This... let's discuss it here, how about we discuss it in a few days? Xiao Li, don't worry about cooperation. You can bargain and discuss it. I think as long as both parties are sincere, we can definitely negotiate a cooperation."

"Well, that's what I mean too. You guys have a good discussion over there, and have a good talk in a few days."

The two parties ended the call.

……

three days later.

A negotiating delegation sent by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Space Administration arrived in Suhong City. They negotiated with Xingyuan Group for a whole day and successfully reached a number of cooperations in space meteorite fishing.

The specific terms of cooperation have not been made public. In short, both parties have obtained the desired results and made certain concessions, which can be described as happy.

at this time.

Zhantian and Platinum Comet are less than 2000 million kilometers away from Azure Star, and they are expected to arrive within two days.

The precision detection equipment and satellites of various space agencies around the world have carried out various detections on the platinum comet, and the top scientists have studied and analyzed it, and they have come up with a rough composition ratio and estimated the specific value of the platinum comet——

10 trillion soft sister coins!
Or $2 trillion.

Or 2.5 trillion euros.

The estimation is extremely accurate—mainly because the metal core of the platinum comet has been exposed, coupled with the short distance, it is not difficult to obtain accurate data using high-precision spectrometers and other equipment.

And 10 trillion, which exceeds the annual GDP of 90% of the countries in the world, is an unimaginably amazing wealth.

Even the net worth of the richest man in the world cannot reach this value.

then……

All countries in the world are crazy, and they have made representations, demanding that Xingyuan Group share its wealth.

Global public opinion also exploded, and people discussed more enthusiastically, and all their attention was devoted to space.

Put it on the returning 'Zhantian' and the platinum comet worth ten trillion yuan. (end of this chapter)
