Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 256 South Gate Commercial Space Station Plan

In Shenzhen, at Yulinwan Hotel, Ji Chenghe's parents were dressed in their best clothes to welcome guests in the hotel, and several senior executives from the Zhiyun system were also there to help.

Bai Qiwen looked at the guests coming and going, and said to Lv Junneng next to him: "Boss Ji is really our role model!"

"Tsk tsk, this bride just graduated this year. I've seen her twice before. She's very pretty and enviable."

"If the age difference was five or six, I wouldn't say anything, but she's twelve years old, not much older than my daughter!"

Lv Junneng, the executive vice president of Zhiyun Group, laughed and said, "That's right. He is the winner in life. He is also a vice president, but he is so arrogant. It's really infuriating."

Bai Qiwen also laughed when he heard this. He had heard that the man in Lu Junneng's family was quite capable. Occasionally, he would see scratches on Lu Junneng's neck when he went to work.

It's difficult for him to have a shrewish wife at home.

However, he had also heard from his wife that although Lu Junneng's wife was a shrew, she behaved very gracefully in public. His wife often saw her at some parties hosted by Mrs. Xu. According to her, Mrs. Lu was very graceful at the parties, and she was generous in everything she did and did, and she didn't look like a shrew at all.

But it is also true that Lu Junneng got beaten from time to time.

So this person is really contradictory!

The two were chatting, and soon they heard from the front that the bride and groom had arrived.

Ji Chenghe also had a smile on his face at this time, and came over with his newly-wed wife who had changed into traditional dress.

Today is his big day. After being single for more than 30 years, he finally gets married.

His wife is his junior who just graduated from college this year. The two met by chance when Ji Chenghe was invited to give a speech at his alma mater.

Then, he was amazed at her beauty and youthful liveliness, and she was shocked by his successful career and maturity... In the end, they fell in love at first sight.

After dating for more than a year, when she graduated, Ji Chenghe proposed to her naturally.

Although the girl's parents had some objections to Ji Chenghe's age, they did not make things difficult for the two of them considering how rich he was. They did not even ask for the high bride price according to their local custom, and instead gave him a dowry of hundreds of thousands.

After all, it is hard to refuse the senior vice president and chief marketing officer of the world's largest multinational high-tech giant and the son-in-law with a net worth of billions.

Even if it is a family that sells their daughter, if the girl's parents have a bit of common sense, they will not sell their daughter to such a son-in-law... As long as the daughter gets married, will they be afraid of not getting money later?
Of course, there are some brainless exceptions who will probably do some operations like percentage damage!
Do you really think rich people are fools?
Ji Chenghe is not just exceptionally rich, he is super rich!

Not only is he a super-rich man, but you can also see news about him on the financial and even political pages every other day.

With Ji Chenghe's status and position, he is one of the top corporate executives even in the global business circle!
Ji Chenghe's marriage, to some extent, was a marriage across classes, and across several classes at that.

When his boss Xu Shenxue got married, everyone thought it was natural. After all, everyone in the know knew that when Xu Shenxue and Lin Yaxian were dating, the Lin family was worth tens of billions, and Xu Shenxue was probably worth only a few hundred million at that time.

There is still some gap in wealth between the two families.

Of course, even so, these two people belong to the typical wealthy class and have nothing to do with ordinary people.

From the beginning to the end, they are actually people of the same class. There are differences between them, but they have not reached the level of being out of class.

Later, Xu Shenxue's net worth skyrocketed to thousands or even hundreds of billions of dollars, but that was all in the future.

So when they get married, many people around them think it is very normal and don't feel surprised.

But Ji Chenghe is different. The woman is from an ordinary middle-class family, and although Ji Chenghe himself comes from a humble background, he is very capable. He started from scratch and has managed to get to where he is today. He has already entered the top small circle in the country and even the world.

Such class gap is actually very large!

But Ji Chenghe was willing to do it, so others couldn't say anything. However, it was not known whether Xu Shenxue took the lead, but Ji Chenghe also did a notarization of his pre-marital property before marriage, and carried out asset trust. He also turned his salary income into options, and directly made an annual salary of one yuan for ten years after marriage.

To steal the gold coins of a business elite like Ji Chenghe, a wealthy man whose head is full of conspiracies and tricks... To be honest, it is extremely difficult.

Of course, on such a great day as today, no one would mention these things, and everything seemed joyous.

It didn't take long before someone came to Ji Chenghe's ear and whispered a few words. Then Ji Chenghe walked to his parents and parents-in-law and said, "Boss Xu will be here soon. Tell them everything that needs to be said. Keep an eye on the relatives and friends. Tell them to keep a normal attitude and not to watch or take pictures!"

Father Ji said, "Don't worry, I have already explained everything one by one."

Ji Chenghe's father-in-law was a little nervous: "Boss Xu is coming... I've told them to sit still and not move around, and not to take pictures!"

As he spoke, Ji Chenghe's mother-in-law also whispered: "Don't worry, we can't cause you any trouble!"

Ji Chenghe knew that his parents and relatives, as well as relatives and friends of his parents-in-law were all ordinary people. Counting back several generations on both sides of the family, the most promising one was him, Ji Chenghe.

Therefore, it is somewhat out of tune with today's scene!

In addition to relatives and friends from both families, most of the guests attending the wedding today were Ji Chenghe's colleagues and clients.

Although the entire scene was not as grand and solemn as Xu Shenxue’s wedding, it was actually a very rare wedding for the wealthy.

Not long after, a convoy of three large bulletproof SUVs entered the hotel's basement parking lot. They were Xu Shenxue and his wife.

Xu Shenxue and his wife took the elevator and came to the hotel's banquet hall, where they immediately saw Ji Chenghe and his wife and his parents at the door.

He immediately stepped forward and said: "Congratulations, congratulations!"

Ji Chenghe said: "Boss Xu, you are here. Let's go. Several old colleagues are waiting for you inside!"

Ji Chenghe immediately took Mr. Xu to the box where Zhiyun executives were seated. On the way, many people looked in their direction.

After all, seeing the world's richest man alive at such a close distance was a rare experience for many people present.

Some people even secretly took photos with their mobile phones.

Even though someone had told them not to take photos before, they were there to attend a wedding, not to go to jail, so how could they just do whatever you said?

So it didn't take long before news appeared on some social networking sites, WeChat Moments and other places that Xu Shenxue attended the wedding of his senior executives in a low-key manner.

Not many people paid attention to Ji Chenghe's marriage, but many people paid attention to the news that Xu Shenxue went to attend the wedding.

Of course, this kind of news is just to satisfy ordinary people's gossip and will not form any big news wave.

Xu Shenxue brought Lin Yaxian to the wedding and did not stay in the lobby outside... He could feel that the whole atmosphere at the wedding was a bit strange when he was there.

Many people are quite restrained.

Because Xu Shenxue is not just a couple, he also has more than a dozen bodyguards!

It seems a bit out of place, even conspicuous.

So he gave a red envelope, had a simple chat, drank a glass of wine, and then bragged and chatted with a group of executives in the box. However, as they chatted, they talked about things in the company. When several people listened to Xu Shenxue talking, they had already quietly taken out their tablets and started recording...

Xu Shenxue took a look and thought, well, he couldn't say any more. Today was not the right occasion. It was inappropriate for him to bring work to someone else's wedding.

He immediately laughed: "Alright, alright, no more words, it's all my fault, I forgot the occasion today and said a few more words, come on, have a couple of drinks, today is Old Ji's great day, let's have a couple of drinks to join in the fun!"

When Xu Shenxue was in a box with a group of company executives.

Lin Yaxian was somewhat interested in the wedding. She wandered around and even went over to chat with Ji Chenghe's new wife. After that, she chatted with a group of other women.

It looks like they are having a happy chat!

But whether the women who chat with her are happy or not, only these women know.

After all, the women who chatted with Lin Yaxian were all women she had met and were somewhat familiar with, such as the wives or daughters of some senior executives in the company.

Although some of these women are stupid, none of them are stupid enough to not give face to the boss lady Lin Yaxian.

Even Mrs. Lu, the rumored shrewish and fierce wife, acted like Wang Xifeng in front of Lin Yaxian and even told some funny stories.

After attending the wedding, Xu Shenxue took Lin Yaxian away. Lin Yaxian said in the car: "This wedding is quite lively. If I have the chance, I can go to more weddings. They all look festive!"

Xu Shenxue said: "If you like it in the future, I will take you to participate more times. There are still many older single men in the company. I guess some of them will get married in the next few years!"

Lin Yaxian said: "There are indeed many bachelors in your company, and each of them earns a lot, so why don't they want to get married?"

Xu Shenxue said: "They do want to start a family, but it's hard to find the right one. After all, there are relatively few people like Old Ji."

After hearing this, Lin Yaxian said, "That's true. It's not easy to find a suitable one."

The older bachelors in the company that the couple mentioned are not ordinary programmers, but the company's management and core technical engineers, who are the typical super high-income group. They hold valuable options and are worth over 100 million or even hundreds of millions.

But there are quite a few people here who are not married.

Because Zhiyun Group is a typical high-tech company and has only been in business for a few years, many of the company's backbones were only in their twenties or early thirties when they joined the company.

Then their careers and wealth expanded rapidly with the gradual development of Zhiyun Technology.

As their wealth rapidly expanded, these people became more selective in choosing wives.

After all, he is now worth over 100 million or even hundreds of millions. To be honest, it is a bit difficult for them to find an ordinary woman.

This requires the woman to be young and beautiful, have a good family background, and be virtuous and have a good personality!
But there are not many truly white, rich and beautiful women, let alone those with good personalities.

Plus, everyone is extremely busy with work and doesn't have much time to date, so many of them haven't gotten married yet.

Of course, they just said they were not married, but no one said they were single!
I don’t have a wife, but I definitely have girlfriends!

In addition, there are not only many unmarried high-income men in the company, but also some unmarried female executives. A vice president of the legal department is a typical older leftover woman. She is in her forties and has not yet married, but she has super strong work ability. It's just that there are quite few of them.

The couple chatted enthusiastically about the gossips of unmarried people in the company. During the conversation, Lin Yaxian even planned to introduce girlfriends to some of them.

But he was stopped by Xu Shenxue.

It’s better not to be a matchmaker if you can avoid it… If the deal fails, they’ll blame you, and if they do, they’ll blame you if they quarrel…

He is the boss, not their parent, so how can he control other people's lives?

After returning home, Xu Shenxue took a shower and prepared to start exercising with the help of a physical trainer. Seeing Xu Shenxue running fast on the treadmill easily, his personal physical trainer, although he had seen it many times before, still couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xu, your physical fitness is better than many professional athletes. If you participate in long-distance running, you might even win a medal!"

Xu Shenxue stopped the treadmill and said after getting off: "It's OK, mainly because I've been exercising all the time and I'm young!"

In fact, Xu Shenxue has not been exercising all the time. He only started physical exercise in recent months when the company has gradually got back on track and there are less things to do.

In the past few years, Xu Shenxue has used the system to improve his physical fitness. He can feel that his physical fitness is getting better and better, but it is difficult to judge to what extent.

Anyway, the Galaxy Life research team told him through various tests that his physical fitness is better than many young men in their twenties.

Since he had a good body, exercising was not strenuous, so after a simple attempt, Xu Shenxue started to do some exercise.

He didn't feel much on weekdays, but after really exercising, he found that his body was really strong. For example, when he was running on the treadmill just now, his stride frequency was already relatively fast. Even many ordinary long-distance runners would probably not be able to handle it, but Xu Shenxue was able to run it easily.

At this moment, Lin Yaxian also came over and said with a smile, "Husband, do you want to go to the sports meet and bring back a medal?"

As she said that, she turned sideways to the physical trainer and said, "Sister Wang, come here, show me too, I want to do some exercise too!"

Fitness coach Sister Wang immediately went over and said, "Okay, Madam!"

Lin Yaxian saw Xu Shenxue start running, and since she had nothing to do, she joined him in exercising, as a way of finding a common hobby for the couple.

Otherwise, Xu Shenxue works on weekdays and Lin Yaxian paints or does some side job, so they don’t have much time to spend together.

That's why Lin Yaxian wanted to exercise with them.

At this time, Xu Shenxue's phone rang.

After picking up the S12 Pro and taking a look, Xu Shenxue saw the caller ID. He immediately took the phone and walked to the window seat before answering the call.

"Secretary Li, what's the matter?"

"Oh, this is great news!"

"Okay, I'll send someone to the capital right away. Don't worry, I'd like to ask you to tell them that there's absolutely no problem with the space station. Rockets are readily available, so it won't be a problem to build a space station."

After talking for a few more words, Xu Shenxue hung up the phone.

Some time ago, he went to Beijing with a bunch of information, mainly to get some orders for rocket launches. He also came up with the idea of ​​building a small space station to conduct some scientific experiments, and at the same time do some commercial space station business such as space tourism and leasing space science experiment cabins.

The talk went well at the time, and after the talk his boss asked him to go back and wait for news!
After all, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter. Whether it is the country's space station or Xu Shenxue's own small space station, it is a big deal.

Now, the news has come.

He was told on the phone that the rocket launch order had been settled, and the next launch mission for a batch of satellites and space station test cabins would be handed over to the No. 5 rocket from Nanmen Aerospace.

In addition, he was told to speed up the development of Rocket No. 6, preferably in time for the national space station program!
After hearing Xu Shenxue's report about the No. 6 rocket's low-Earth orbit carrying capacity starting at 60 tons, a group of people from the aerospace agency swallowed their saliva.

Sixty tons means that the core cabin and experimental cabin of the space station can be made larger, more functional, and have more room for various designs.

Whether it is a space station or a satellite, its launch weight is strictly limited by the carrying capacity of the target. This is also the core reason why some previous experimental launch missions were planned with the core module at around eight tons.

Because the carrying capacity of previous rockets was limited to this size.

Today, Nanmen Aerospace has developed the No. 5 rocket, which can achieve a low-Earth orbit payload of 21 tons in a single launch, which significantly exceeds other existing domestic rockets.

In addition, the No. 5 rocket has undergone seven successful launches. Although the recovery of the first-stage rocket failed twice, each time it successfully sent the satellite to the predetermined orbit, which shows the safety performance of the No. 5 rocket.

So even if Xu Shenxue had not taken the initiative to obtain an order, the agency responsible for the space station project was actually considering letting the No. 5 rocket undertake subsequent launch missions.

After all, although Xu Shenxue holds the majority of shares in Nanmen Aerospace Company, the remaining shares are actually in domestic aerospace institutions and companies. Many technical personnel of Nanmen Aerospace are actually transferred directly from these aerospace companies, because Nanmen Aerospace Company is, to some extent, a part of the traditional domestic aerospace system.

In the early stages of aerospace development, it is actually very difficult to rely solely on the private sector. You don't even have a few professional talents... There are not many top rocket professionals on the market for you to invite, and these people are basically in aerospace companies.

Just like Musk’s space exploration company, there are a large number of talents from US aerospace agencies, and even directly obtain a lot of technical support.

The Nanmen Aerospace Company founded by Xu Shenxue actually has a local aerospace agency behind it.

The reason why we supported Xu Shenxue in developing rockets was because we saw his unique magic in the high-tech business field and wanted to use his unique abilities to develop high-performance rockets.

It can be considered a two-legged approach. Traditional aerospace companies are one leg, and Nanmen Aerospace is the other leg.

Naturally, we won’t ignore the results.

In this case, Rocket No. 5 has been included in the experimental space station plan and takes on part of the launch mission.

In addition, for Nanmen Aerospace Corporation's Heavy Rocket No. 6, the aerospace agency has begun exploring plans to expand the core cabin of the future space station to 60 tons.

Of course, this is just a backup plan. After all, the Type 6 heavy rocket is still in the design stage, and no one knows when it will be produced.

The team is quite relaxed about the structure of the space station. They said they would give Nanmen Aerospace seven to eight years. As long as they can produce the No. 6 heavy-duty rocket within seven to eight years, that would be enough.

At that time, they will use this No. 6 heavy rocket to launch the 60-ton core module and various experimental modules of the space station!
Let’s teach those foreign space agencies who look down on others a lesson!
You didn’t let me play with you, so now I’m playing by myself, and I’m playing even better than you!
Therefore, they are very concerned about and even looking forward to this Type 6 heavy-duty rocket, which theoretically has a 60-ton low-Earth orbit carrying capacity.

However, Xu Shenxue felt that seven or eight years was a bit too long... According to the powerful plug-in ability of the system's scientific research quotas, he estimated that three or four years would be enough.

Seven or eight years later...Xu Shenxue estimated that everyone would be able to land on the moon.

Therefore, he also reminded the cooperating space agencies that they could move faster and not wait until I have developed the rocket before their space station is ready.

In addition to these things, Secretary Li also said in his call just now that there is no precedent for companies to build space stations, and it is suspected of wasting resources.

But since Nanmen Aerospace is a commercial aerospace company and is willing to raise funds on its own to build a commercial space station, they should not stop it by force.

Therefore, limited approval has been given. You can do it, but you have to take it slow and don't expect to get any financial support. The money from above is not enough to set up a national space science laboratory, so how can there be any extra funds to support your commercial space science laboratory plan!
By the way, the space station is currently officially called the "Space Science Laboratory". Its core function is not to show off to ordinary people or to demonstrate national strength. It is actually used to conduct scientific experiments in various space environments.

For example, various experiments such as microgravity biological experiments and microgravity fluid experiments need to be carried out in a space environment.

At the same time, various experiments related to space exploration were carried out to explore the issues of permanent residence and survival in space, accelerate the development of space exploration, and prepare technology for future advancement into interstellar space.

In addition, many institutions or companies actually have the need for this kind of space experiment, but they just have no way to do it. It is not easy to enter the space station in the traditional sense. It is expensive, requires various queues, and involves the national level.

Regarding this area, Xu Shenxue's idea is to see if he can build a commercial space station, engage in space tourism, and then provide space laboratories for rent, or accept space experiment commissions and other commercial measures to recover certain funds.

Of course, if these can be done, they will be done. If they cannot be done, it doesn’t matter. This commercial space station is mainly to meet some space research needs of Xu Shenxue’s companies.

For example, Galaxy Life has many projects that want to be carried out in space, but no country's space station is willing to allow a biological company like Galaxy Life, which specializes in serving the super-rich, to conduct experiments on the space station.

In addition to meeting the space test needs of his companies, Xu Shenxue's personal yearning for the interstellar space is more important. He wants to use his own space station to promote various aerospace science experiments and prepare for traveling to the starry sky.

You know, the aerospace company he founded is named Nanmen Aerospace, and the Nanmen here refers to the Nanmen Galaxy!
Others might think that the name of this company is just a beautiful hope, but no one knows that Xu Shenxue is really heading for the Nanmen Galaxy...

He didn't know if he could do it, but he had to give it a try anyway.

With the system in hand, if you can't even dream of a bright future, then why bother opening a company or running an enterprise? You might as well just lie down and wait for death.

Anyway, he has assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and he can't spend them all no matter how long he lies around.

In fact, Xu Shenxue has spoken on many occasions in public about his yearning for the starry sky. He said that he wanted to build rockets and spacecraft to travel around the solar system and even go to the Nanmen Galaxy in the future.

But no one believed that Xu Shenxue was telling the truth.

Everyone thought he was talking nonsense: You boast without thinking. You said you wanted to land on Mars, and I agreed because you have a lot of money. But you said you wanted to go to the Nanmen Galaxy in the future... Mr. Xu, do you know how far away the Nanmen Galaxy is?

The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is 4.24 light-years away!

Look carefully, the unit of distance is light years!

Converted into kilometers, that's about 400 trillion kilometers!

Such a long distance made many people think that Xu Shenxue was talking nonsense, and netizens even teased him: "Even if you are the richest man in the world, you still like to daydream!"

"No matter how rich you are, my Nanmen is still a star that you can never get..."

"Musk's dream of Mars is ridiculous enough, but compared with Xu Shenxue's dream of Nanmen, it's the difference between a firefly and the sun!"

In short, no one takes it seriously!
However, no matter what outsiders think or see, Xu Shenxue remains steadfast in doing things at his own pace.

The rocket of Nanmen Aerospace Corporation is the first step, the space station is the second step, and the third step is the interstellar spacecraft...Xu Shenxue is not very interested in simply landing on the moon or planets. He is more interested in spacecraft that travel directly in deep space.

However, as to when the third step will be launched, we still have to wait and see how fast aerospace technology advances with the help of the scientific research system.

The so-called interstellar spacecraft propulsion technology has not yet been solved.

These are some truly black technologies. Xu Shenxue has no idea when they will be available or even what they will be. He can only do what he can and leave it to time and the system.

----

After Nanmen Aerospace obtained the official approval, it quickly announced on its official website that Xu Shenxue would once again inject capital into Nanmen Aerospace for the commercial space station project. It also launched space tourism projects, the leasing of space science test sites, space science experiment commissions, and other commercial projects that looked so high-end that they would make people dumbfounded!
Commercial space station?
When netizens from all over the world saw this news, they immediately suspected that it must be fake news.

What kind of company would build a commercial space station? They would suffer huge losses.

There are no companies in this world that would do this kind of crap.

But upon closer inspection, the news turned out to be true.

Secondly, many people’s second reaction was: Xu Shenxue has gone crazy!
And it's crazy to a certain extent. If you are not that crazy, you won't build a commercial space station... How can you build that?
I'll make you bankrupt!
Xu Shenxue laughed at the public opinion on the Internet and said to Lin Yaxian beside him: "It's just a small space station. It's just a small amount of money worth a few billion US dollars. These netizens just like to worry about nothing!"

Lin Yaxian also said: "That's right, it's not their money anyway, what does it have to do with them? Don't bother with those people outside, just do it if you like!"

As Xu Shenxue's bedmate, Lin Yaxian knows Xu Shenxue's deep yearning for the starry sky!
It is often said that the money earned is enough, and the rest is to pursue some dreams, but Xu Shenxue’s dream is a bit special!

What he longs for is the sea of ​​stars!

He really wants to experience interstellar travel and go to outer galaxies to see what is there.
If possible, he would like to catch an alien as a pet!
