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

Chapter 386 No Reason to Be Pessimistic

"Xinyin, long time no see." Vic greeted Li Xinyin weakly. Li Xinyin knew the meaning in his eyes very well. He hoped that Li Xinyin could help introduce him and help him get this five-minute interview opportunity.

Interviewing Lin Jia at the waiting area for the Changkong test flight, whether it was the popularity of the video itself or the subsequent increase in the number of fans, it was a great opportunity that Vic did not want to miss.

Many times, all it takes to make the leap from millions of fans to tens of millions is an opportunity like this.

Li Xiyin leaned close to Lin Jia's ear and whispered, "A Douyin blogger who specializes in interviewing first-class passengers. He is relatively neutral and does not take a personal stance. Do you want to accept it? If not, I will go and persuade him to leave."

After listening to this, Lin Jia shook his head slightly at Li Xiyin, then looked at Wei Qi and nodded, "Hello, please go ahead."

Vic couldn't hear what Li Xiyin said. He thought his pleading had worked. He looked at Li Xiyin with gratitude in his eyes, and then asked quickly: "Hello, I am a blogger who specializes in interviewing airplane passengers. I would like to ask you some questions. You don't have to answer the questions that are inconvenient to answer.

Is that convenient for you?" Even though Lin Jia nodded, Weiqi was still very polite.

In fact, there are some requirements for bloggers to do this kind of interview program. Bloggers cannot come across as offensive. It is difficult for an interview blogger who comes across as offensive to get started on his own.

However, aggressive interview bloggers can easily create a sense of fierce collision with the interviewees, resulting in a better program effect.

Therefore, this type of interview is often seen in TV talk shows. They rely on the TV station's interview resources to obtain interview opportunities, and rely on offensive and defensive battles with the interviewees to feed back to the TV station and help the TV station gain traffic.

In the self-media, there are interview bloggers with strong aggressiveness, but they usually show aggressiveness when facing small-time celebrities after they have a certain number of fans.

Vici obviously knew Lin Jia's identity, and was as polite as possible in front of her.

"Sure." Lin Jia answered briefly and straightforwardly.

The passengers who were also waiting for the flight obviously recognized Lin Jia who was being interviewed, and many of them had already taken out their mobile phones and pointed them in this direction.

"The first question I want to ask is what is your occupation? Because Mr. Lin is so famous, I believe that the audience who watch the video later also know what Mr. Lin does.

My question is to know Mr. Lin, what is your own positioning? "With this short explanation, it can help the interviewee to understand more clearly what the question wants to ask.

"An entrepreneur who is always on the road." Lin Jia said without hesitation.

"Do you think you were inspired by the God of Light during your entrepreneurial process? Or, to put it another way, if there was no God of Light, would you still be on this entrepreneurial path?"

"Of course, Yuanguang changed the direction of my entrepreneurship, but he did not change my determination to do this from the beginning to the end." Lin Jia replied.

"So can we say that the God of Light has played a great role in your growth? If it is convenient, could you please elaborate on it?" asked Vicchi.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Jia replied: "I majored in business, and now I am mostly engaged in physical manufacturing, which is actually very different from what I thought when I was in school.

When I was in school, I was interested in technology from an investment perspective, looking for investment opportunities and helping technology companies grow from a financial perspective. However, I had never thought about starting a physical manufacturing industry from scratch myself. The deviation in the direction of my entrepreneurship mainly refers to this aspect.

For example, the space shuttle we are going to take today has the participation of Guangjia Aerospace. Although I did not participate in the technology research and development, I am still proud of it.

Yuanguang helped me discover my potential that I was not aware of in the past. No matter how optimistic I was when I was in school, I never thought that I would have the ability to manage tens of thousands of employees.

He made me realize that people often don’t have the opportunity to realize their potential.”

"Mr. Lin, many of the people watching our channel are young people, and you are a very successful young person, so do you have any successful experience to share with young people?" Vic asked. This was his reserved segment.

Lin Jia said: "Participating in an industry that is in a rising stage will be more helpful for individuals to achieve material success. If there is no such opportunity, or if due to practical reasons you can only work in an industry that is in a declining or stable period, then what you need to do is to persevere.

In the past, I mentioned in an interview with Xiyin that life is a process of mean reversion. Every decision you make may seem important, and even important in retrospect, changing your life. But if you don't make this decision, your life will remain the same. But now, insisting on doing the right thing will give you the best rewards over a long period of time.

Then just keep an optimistic attitude, optimistic people are never too bad. "Lin Jia said lightly.

On the contrary, Li Xinyin, who was sitting next to Lin Jia, felt puzzled, because the remarks full of optimism and positive attitude were not like Lin Jia's style.

In other words, Lin Jia has never been an optimist, and there is no need for her to feed the public this kind of clichéd chicken soup.

But there must be something behind Lin Jia's words. Li Xinyin was very curious about what had happened recently that caused such a change in Lin Jia.

Vic said embarrassedly: "One last question, may I ask how much you earn a year?" This is the question he always asks.

Lin Jia smiled and said nothing. Weiqi quickly said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Lin for accepting the interview. Thank you very much."

Unlike other first-class passengers who were unwilling to answer and Vic kept asking questions, when Lin Jia didn't speak, Vic stopped asking questions in time.

Afterwards, many young test flight passengers who were also waiting in the waiting room came over to ask for photos, and Lin Jia patiently agreed one by one.

The first thing to do after boarding the Changkong is to fasten the seat belt. To be precise, it is not a seat belt, but a safety seat that is a bit like a spaceship, which wraps the whole person tightly in the seat made of synthetic leather.

"Because you will enter a certain state of weightlessness very soon after takeoff, please buckle the safety device on your chest and fasten your seat belt before takeoff." The flight attendants who can fly this flight all have excellent looks and temperament.

But no one cared about the appearance of the flight attendant. Everyone was busy looking at the internal layout of the Changkong and fixing the safety devices as required.

Everyone took advantage of the last bit of time before the flight attendant came to check and used their mobile phones to take photos and record videos.

Because during takeoff, mobile phones need to be placed and secured in the storage box prepared next to the seat.

Looking around, Li Xinyin realized that the place where they were sitting should be the best spot.

The space shuttle is different from ordinary passenger planes. You cannot open the safety device and move around at will during the entire ride.

You have to sit still and wait until landing.

This also led to the staff in the waiting room repeatedly emphasizing that everyone needed to go to the toilet before takeoff.

In future normal operations of aerospace planes, one hour may be easy to endure, but this time the two and a half hours of takeoff is a bit specific.

There are very few windows on the plane. Among the fifty seats, only three rows offer direct views.

The window was right next to Lin Jia, so Li Xiyin and Zhou Yaqi could also look out of the window. It was obviously a great viewing spot that COMAC had arranged in advance. "Jia Jia, I'm a little nervous. What should I do?" Li Xiyin, who was sitting next to Lin Jia, squeezed Lin Jia's hand.

Lin Jia comforted him, "Don't worry, it's very stable. The technology now is different from that of 20 years ago. Apart from the feeling of pushing on the back, the noise is very small, so small that it can be almost ignored."

Zhou Yaqi asked curiously, "Jia Jia, what you said is the same as what you sat on before."

Lin Jia explained: “Before I came here, I had seen COMAC’s first two test flights and their internal ride experience reports.

Compared with the sense of oppression, huge bumps and noise during the rapid takeoff of traditional rockets, Changkong will still make you feel the sense of oppression.

But the bumps and noise were already very slight.

In addition, as you enter the edge of the atmosphere, you will gradually feel a sense of weightlessness. This feeling of weightlessness will cause your blood to redistribute, and then you will feel a little dizzy.

There shouldn't be any other impact." Lin Jia whispered to comfort him.

As Lin Jia said, both takeoff and landing were extremely smooth. Apart from the inability to move freely, the difference was very small compared to the riding experience on an ordinary passenger plane.

"It's amazing that the speed is this fast when the experience gap is so small. As long as it can be rolled out overseas, a lot of passengers will choose the space shuttle even if the air ticket price is half as expensive." After returning to the ground, Li Xinyin said with emotion: "Compared with ordinary passenger planes, the time cost advantage of Changkong is too obvious."

As a blogger who specializes in interviewing entrepreneurs, Li Xinyin is well aware of these people's considerations when it comes to consumption, and time must be the first factor.

Not to mention entrepreneurs with resources, even a middle-class person with some money would first consider an aerospace passenger plane that only takes an hour, rather than a long-distance flight that takes twenty hours, even if the long-distance flight is first class.

One hour of discomfort is exchanged for the other nineteen hours of good rest.

Time is everything. Besides tax deductions and showing off, the main purpose of wealthy people buying private jets is to save time and improve the efficiency of their time usage.

They will obviously pay for the space plane.

"The difference between aerospace planes and ordinary airplanes is as obvious as the difference between high-speed trains and trains.

The two are very similar. The prices of hard sleeper trains and second-class seats on high-speed trains are similar. Hard sleeper trains are much more comfortable than second-class seats, but they take twice or even three times as long as second-class seats.

For this reason alone, most people would choose second-class seats instead of hard sleeper seats.

The time saved by a space plane compared to an ordinary plane is not just one time, but twenty times. The difference is so obvious that most passengers who can afford the space plane ticket will choose the space plane.

In the future, ordinary passenger planes will only appear on short-distance trips.

To be more precise, ordinary passenger planes focus on intra-continental flights, while space planes will devour the entire transoceanic flight market." Li Xiyin concluded.

Lin Jia added: “You forgot one thing, that is, the aerospace plane is launched by electromagnetic launch, relying on catapult launch.

It consumes electricity at the beginning. The price of electricity in China is much lower than gasoline, and even lower than professional aviation fuel.

So considering the cost alone, the operating cost of an aerospace plane is actually cheaper than that of a long-distance passenger plane.

Its cost lies in aircraft manufacturing and research and development costs.

These costs will be reduced with the large-scale application of aerospace planes.

Therefore, as long as Chinese airlines are willing, they can definitely lower the price of space planes to the same level as ordinary passenger planes."

Everyone is very optimistic about the space plane and generally believes that it will be a product that will change the history of human flight and will help COMAC quickly catch up with Airbus and Boeing in the field of private passenger aircraft.

Even though the domestically produced large aircraft C919 has been in operation for four years, the public still has the idea that this thing is domestically produced, has not undergone sufficient flight tests, and may pose safety risks.

People at home think so, and people abroad think even more so.

Once the space plane is widely deployed, people will naturally accept COMAC's ordinary passenger planes as long as they try COMAC's space plane once.

The logic behind this is that if such difficult technology can make the aerospace plane so stable and the comfort level can be similar to that of an ordinary passenger plane, then COMAC will definitely have no problem using it on an ordinary passenger plane.

In the face of technological strength, consumers' minds are often formed in such a simple and unpretentious way.

Just like Huawei's technological strength in the communications field, it makes people spontaneously trust that it has the same technological strength in the field of car manufacturing.

Li Xiyin then asked another question, "Why did you suddenly start giving me chicken soup when you were being interviewed by Vicky before takeoff?

In my impression, you have never been a person who likes to give others chicken soup, but this kind of chicken soup that says hard work will pay off is a classic.

Probably only students would believe it."

Anyone who has been in society for a few years will not believe the idea that hard work will pay off.

To be precise, the fact that hard work pays off is itself a reflection of ability, and oftentimes ability alone is not enough, luck is also needed.

You need both luck and strength to really drink this bowl of chicken soup.

However, such people often do not need chicken soup to comfort themselves psychologically. They are capable and lucky, and they have already built up enough self-confidence in the first twelve years of compulsory education.

After hearing this, Lin Jia was in a trance for a moment and then said, "Maybe it's because I'm quite sad about the future of mankind, so I hope that everyone can have a little spark of hope in their hearts at this point in time."

Zhou Yaqi and Li Xiyin looked at each other. They could not think of any reason for the old Chinese to be pessimistic at this point in time.

One industrial pearl after another has been plucked by China. China is conquering almost all fields. As China's industry breaks through in all aspects, the living standards of residents in all traditional developed countries are declining significantly.

Even a developed country like Kangaroo that relies on selling resources has to worry that it will one day be pushed into a corner by asteroid mining.
