It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 359: Raising the price from the ground up
Obviously, the 32-kilometer incident has had a huge impact on many countries.

When China's rebuilt rockets using room-temperature superconducting technology can help them reach deep space 32 kilometers away, where can their missiles hit, and will their missiles be more difficult to intercept after launch?

When China's spacecraft is launched, it can also go to deep space and come back. This means that your control system and automatic driving system have been upgraded to the next generation. Does it mean that the trajectory of your intercontinental missiles has become more unpredictable?
American strategic analysts have finally found a point of entry, and Military Observer magazine has published a lot of analysis on the latest developments in China's missile technology.

On the contrary, top leaders of various countries realized that the stronger the strength China demonstrates, the less likely it is that the two sides will directly come to blows, which is good for the entire planet.

Members of the English House of Commons still have doubts about asking Guangjia Aerospace to purchase a space station, and the German Parliament is also unlikely to pass it in the short term.

On the contrary, American commercial aerospace companies are moving much faster.

In the middle of this year, in exchange for the import of topological semimetal chips and continued cooperation in the chip field, Guangjia Aerospace's restrictions in America were lifted.

Commercial aerospace agencies that had previously taken a wait-and-see attitude began to take action after the successful launch of the core module of the Light Mech.

The most urgent is Blue Origin.

Given that Blue Origin has given orders to Light Armor Aerospace in the past, there is no psychological burden at all for this direct cooperation.

Backed by Amazon, Blue Origin has no shortage of money, though it may have nothing else to lose.

Compared with the European parliaments that are struggling to rob Peter to pay Paul, Bezos alone can decide whether to buy a space station module from Light Armor Aerospace.

To be precise, the last time, Bezos had already negotiated with Light Armor Aerospace to package the entire project into a commercial project and purchase the Light Armor's cabin sections from Light Armor Aerospace.

However, the cooperation was subsequently forcibly terminated by a hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington.

At that time, Blue Origin had negotiated two cooperation projects with Guangjia Aerospace, one was the lunar lander and the other was the space station.

Of these two projects, the former survived on Capitol Hill, while the latter was cut.

For a long time afterwards, due to the default of Light Armor Aerospace itself and the ban of the American Congress, Blue Origin has not restarted negotiations with Light Armor Aerospace.

This time, after the Space Shuttle entered its designated location, Blue Origin executives began emailing Space Shuttle executives, hoping to restart the past contract.

The result was a long email, the core meaning of which was that I had to pay extra, and the price was not the same as before.

The price is negotiable, and the only company that has the capability to do so is Guangjia Aerospace.

Dave Limp was urgently dispatched to Shenhai.

Blue Origin is in a hurry, or to be more precise, Bezos is in a hurry.

Can Amazon defeat Microsoft, which is backed by Alpha Technologies? It is very unlikely. New Bing, which has returned to the market after completing rectifications in accordance with Washington's requirements, will not completely kill Amazon's market share, but at least it will cause Amazon's market share to shrink significantly.

The decline in Amazon's market value will not be proportional, but will only fall more because you no longer have a de facto monopoly position.

For Bezos, Blue Origin is particularly important in his business empire, especially at this point in time when everyone realizes that the era of interstellar navigation is getting closer and closer.

Blue Origin is a company that has the potential to recreate more than one Amazon.

SpaceX has a technological advantage now, but Bezos has the support of the Donkey Party. With the support of the Donkey Party, he may be able to compete with SpaceX.

Although over the past long years, it has been fully proven that Blue Origin's management is not capable of leading Blue Origin to achieve technological catch-up in the field of high-end manufacturing.

But they can rely on foreign aid, especially after Washington lifted restrictions on light armor aerospace, Blue Origin can completely buy China's technology or products.

Just because Blue Origin cannot compete with SpaceX does not mean that Blue Origin will still not be able to compete with the support of light armor aerospace technology.

Therefore, even if Light Mech Aerospace raises the price, Blue Origin is willing to be ripped off.

What's more, judging from NASA's quotation and the amount of orders that Blue Origin can get from NASA, it is still unclear who will be slaughtered.

Dave Limp, the executive who was in charge of this matter in the past, was the senior vice president of Blue Origin three years ago and is now the CEO of Blue Origin.

This time, he was entrusted with an important task and went to China to meet with senior executives of Guangjia Aerospace.

"Hello, I'm a blogger. Can I ask you two questions?" On a flight from San Francisco to Shenhai, Chinese blogger Vic, who was sitting in the first class cabin, saw a notebook on the table in front of the brown-haired white old man next to him.

There is actually the Guangjia Aerospace logo printed on the notebook.

This made Vic keenly aware that this guy was not an ordinary person. Short video bloggers always know what will be popular, so even if he spoke unfamiliar English, he would go and talk to the other party.

Foreigners are face-blind to Chinese people, and Chinese people are also face-blind to foreigners. Unless you are as famous as Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, it is really difficult to tell who the familiar face sitting in the first class is.

What's more, Dave is not a famous figure. In recent years, he has been most active in various commercial aerospace forums.

Not to mention a self-media blogger like Vicchi, even a space enthusiast might not be able to recognize who the other person is.

However, the presence of the other party in the first-class lounge and the notebook with the Guangjia Aerospace logo printed on the table were enough to indirectly prove his identity.

America's current opening to China is a unilateral opening. Chinese experts and scholars can come to America, but it is not so easy for them to go back.

As mentioned earlier, America has been issuing green cards to talented people in science and engineering fields in China. Companies can go directly to China to recruit employees. Unlike in the past when they had to queue up to get a work visa, now as long as you get an offer, the federal government will issue you a green card.

The threshold for going to America has been lowered to any 211 engineering university. With three years of work experience and good English, you can get a green card.

But it is easy to go there, but it is not so easy to come back. Even if you go back to visit your relatives, you have to pay something called a deposit to guarantee that you will come back again after you leave.

The amount of the deposit is set very high. For engineers in some sensitive fields, you will not be allowed to go back once you come here. Only your family members are allowed to visit you, and you are not allowed to go back.

The rules are so strict for Chinese people, and even more so for American engineers. There is no way for them to work in China. For example, the white old man in front of me, if he was a talent in science and engineering and looked like a top expert, it would be impossible for him to be released by America.

Not to mention showing up in the first class cabin like this.

Therefore, the other party could only be a partner of Guangjia Aerospace, and at least a senior executive or expert.

Vic quickly filtered through his mind which partners Light Armor Aerospace had in America, and after much thought, he concluded that SpaceX was the only one.

Seeing the camera in front of him and the yellow man's appearance, Dave first said: "Chinese?"

"Yes, I have five million fans across the Chinese Internet," said Vic.

"bilibili?" Dave asked, "Lin from Light Armor Aerospace asked me if I wanted to participate in a talk show of her friend."

Dave raised his notebook when he mentioned Light Armor Aerospace.

Vicky thought, damn, this is really a big fish. Seeing that the other party was in high spirits, he knew what he should say at this time: "Sir, are you talking about Lin Jia? Wright's wife?"

Dave nodded, “Right.”

Vic was overjoyed, and the show effect came: "Sir, what is your identity?" "I am the CEO of Blue Origin." Dave said.

To be honest, most people may not have heard of Blue Origin, but Vicki is a bit of a business blogger, so he definitely knows Blue Origin. He immediately asked, "Sir, are you going on this business trip to discuss cooperation with Light Armor Aerospace?"

“We’ve been partners in the past, of course,” Dave said.

This Vicky really didn't know, "Have you always been cooperating?"

"We have cooperated with Guangjia Aerospace on the lunar return capsule project," said Dave.

Vic nodded repeatedly, "Great! Light Armor Aerospace is the most famous technology company in China. It's great that you can cooperate with Light Armor Aerospace."

In fact, he had no idea what a lunar return capsule was.

"Sir, what kind of cooperation do you plan to discuss with them this time?" Vic asked. Anyway, he could use translation software to translate the other party's words after returning, and it would have a good show effect after post-editing.

He knew that all he needed to do was induce the guests to speak, rather than speak himself.

"Space station. We hope to cooperate with Light Armor Aerospace in the space station." Dave said without hesitation.

There is no need to hide this fact. Blue Origin once tried to purchase the space station of Light Armor Aerospace. After the Washington Post and the New York Times reported on this, the whole world knew that Blue Origin was trying every means to take advantage of China.

"So would you mind telling me your annual salary?" Vic said, this is the scope he is used to and also the source of his traffic.

"Sorry, this is a trade secret." Dave was obviously unwilling to disclose it.

"Could you give me a rough range?" Vic was unwilling to give up.

Dave shook his head. He thought the other party came to him to discuss commercial spaceflight, but in the end it turned out to be such a cliché salary. He was not prepared.

"More than 10 million US dollars?" Vicki wanted to trick him into thinking something else.

Dave thought it was a little funny, 10 million dollars, who was he looking down on? “Haha young man, there’s no fixed range.

The fluctuation is very serious. For example, Andy's salary was 21 million US dollars in 2.12 years, but only 22 million US dollars in 130 years.

It is not a fixed value.”

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the other party not to disturb him anymore.

After the video was released, it quickly became Vichi's most popular video in recent times.

"Vic should ask more meaningful questions instead of asking about the other party's salary."

"Vic is still not professional enough. If it were any other business blogger, he would definitely not ask such meaningless questions."

"I know that Vicky gained followers quickly by asking about other people's income levels, but how could he possibly ask about salary for such a rare opportunity? It's like meeting the God of Light in first class, and instead of asking him when humans will be able to achieve interstellar colonization in the future, you ask him if he earns 100 million RMB a year? The God of Light is thinking, are you kidding me?"

"The pattern is reflected at times like this, but the pattern is still not enough."

“It feels like Blue Origin is here to pay its respects.”

"It seems that commercial space-related companies will continue to grow, and Blue Origin will have to come to China to seek cooperation."

"People who trade stocks have gone crazy. Blue Origin came to China to seek cooperation with Light Armor Aerospace. It doesn't mean that a company can cooperate with Blue Origin as long as it has a label of commercial aerospace concept in Tonghuashun."

It has a large number of views and is very popular, but its reputation is not very good, and fans and netizens generally do not buy it.

After arriving in Shenhai and meeting Li Haide, Li Haide was not satisfied with Blue Origin's offer: "You can regard France's $20 billion as a venture capital investment in their space station project.

That’s what venture capital is all about, high yields and high returns.

The agreement we signed with France does not set a time limit for the launch of the space station.

This is equivalent to France lending a zero-interest loan of 20 billion to Guangjia Aerospace with no specific time limit.

This is a gamble, and if they win they should enjoy the rewards they deserve.

As for Blue Origin, you were once involved in venture capital, but you withdrew.

Now that the project has been successfully launched, the price will naturally not be the same as before.”

Dave spread his hands, thinking, "Well, Lee, you make a lot of sense.

So what is Guangjia Aerospace's current price?"

"The space station module costs $50 billion, the launch costs $20 billion, and the total price is $70 billion? Guangjia Aerospace is robbing money." Bezos screamed after hearing the report from his subordinates.

In the early years, Bezos allocated $30 billion to Blue Origin every year, which has increased to $80 billion in the past five years.

The $70 billion offer is equivalent to swallowing up Bezos' annual budget.

“Let Dave talk to them and do whatever it takes to get the price down to $50 billion.

We can fully accept it if it is within US$50 billion.

In addition, can we build a space station ourselves, and then have Light Armor Aerospace help us launch it?"

At less than $50 billion, the significance of this matter itself is enough to convince Bezos.

Blue Origin executives didn't even have to give a long speech; they just had to draw the locations of the Earth, the Moon, the International Space Station and the Space Station on the blackboard in Bezos' office.

Because Bezos knew he could make money.

The Orion spacecraft can transfer to the Light Mech via Blue Origin, since NASA's order is signed with Blue Origin anyway.

NASA's deep space scientific research missions can be handed over to Blue Origin.

In short, just because of the good relationship with the Democratic Party that is about to come to power, Bezos is fully confident that this is a business that is sure to make money.

50 billion is nothing to him.

In this round of offensive and defensive battles in Washington alone, the removal of Microsoft's New Bing caused Amazon's market value to increase by more than $200 billion.

Bezos took the opportunity to reduce his holdings and cash out more than $10 billion, with the reason being that he wanted to invest more resources in Blue Origin.
