Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 594 Discussion
But it's easy to say, but in fact, to launch a satellite for the Kinmen Group to support the "navigation" software that Li You mentioned, the technology required is too much.

A launch base is needed that has the ability to integrate the entire technical chain of rocket launches, satellite manufacturing, and ground station control.

On the contrary, it is simple and easy to obtain permission from the country's aerospace regulatory agency, and the so-called national security review is even easier. This is because navigation satellites may involve sensitive military uses, such as GPS, which is dual-use for military and civilian purposes and needs to pass the strategic security assessment of the defense department.

But the Korean Peninsula government is eager for you to help.

However, the cost of building and launching from the Korean Peninsula is very high due to its high longitude and latitude.

Instead of spending hundreds of millions or even nearly a billion dollars to build a base, it would be better to use the existing ones on the Korean Peninsula and transform them.

Although they cannot launch missiles into space, the bases they build covering research and development, launching and maintenance are still quite decent.

This is what it means when poor students have a lot of stationery.

This brings up another problem, which is that we have to wait for Musk's development of the Falcon 1.

Because the rockets developed by private companies have not yet completed the model that can carry satellites, and this year happens to be the critical period for the development of "Falcon 1".

Li You talked with Bezos and Musk for a long time. He did not hold back much, but just told them the future development trends. Once they had started, the two of them chattered endlessly about a lot of feasible strategies.

The two future richest men in the world did not realize that it was only because of the times that they were restricted, but as long as there was a slight sign, they would be able to seize the opportunity.

"Jeff," Li You looked at Bezos, "Is Amazon still expanding?"

"Of course," Bezos nodded. "I have been interested in expanding the scale for a long time. Currently, various shopping websites and physical manufacturing companies have purchased some of them, and I am ready to build them into a real industrial chain."

The reason why Bezos did not invest a lot of money in Blue Origin last year, but instead invited Li You to invest, is that
He is still continuously investing money into Amazon and acquiring various companies, and it is not a small amount of money.

Bezos' acquisition plan began in 1998. At the beginning, Amazon acquired the Internet movie database company IMDb. In the same year, it acquired a data mining company Junglee for more than 180 million US dollars and acquired the social networking company Planetall for 93 million US dollars.

The following year, it spent another $1000 million to acquire Alexa, a website that specializes in publishing world rankings of websites. The company started out as a search engine and collects more than GB of information online every day. It not only provides billions of URL links, but also ranks each of them.

These four companies formed the foundation of Amazon.

Later, Amazon began to acquire online music stores, China's online bookstore Joyo.com, DVD producers, and women's fashion shopping websites.

As long as he has money, Bezos will make acquisitions at any cost.

Compared to Taobao, which Li You only plans to develop in East Asia and even the Korean Peninsula, Amazon, as Bezos' most important industry, is so large that it is hard to imagine.

In Li You's memory, Amazon's annual turnover in the future will be able to reach 500 billion US dollars.

Li You has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in both Amazon and Blue Origin. He is one of the top three shareholders of Blue Origin, but only a small shareholder of Amazon.

"This year I also plan to acquire a digital camera review website," Bezos said seriously, "and in the future I will also acquire an online shoe store, an audiobook website, and a group buying website."

After Bezos' brief description, both Li You and Musk were amazed.

Li You also has a better understanding of this future world-class business giant.

But Musk's eyes lit up and he thought of something.

"Since the future is destined to be the Internet world, have you ever heard of YouTube?" Last year, Google acquired YouTube for US$1.65 billion.

As of last year, there were 40 million short videos on YouTube, attracting 6 million viewers every day. If online shopping platforms or even other platforms can cooperate with such websites."

“And it will start internationalization and launch multiple languages ​​this year.”

Bezos and Li You both nodded in agreement.

“There’s another website,” Li You said with a smile: “Twitter.”

To Li You's surprise, these two people also noticed Twitter, which was still a small website, and they also wanted to see what Li You thought about it.

"Twitter is still small by social networking site standards, but it can provide direct and important information, even any information," Li You said. "The combination of Twitter and YouTube will give birth to a huge online market."

He added, intentionally or unintentionally, "Maybe someone will become president by relying on them in the future, and it won't be surprising."

Compared to Bezos, Musk, who will become Twitter's largest shareholder in the future, is particularly interested in this.

The three of them chatted about the future, and it felt like they were discussing philosophy.

"In fact, there are many things between us that are interconnected and complementary, and we should have worked closely together a long time ago," Bezos said with a twinkling look in his eyes. "If it were the three of us, we would be able to dominate the future of the Internet!"

Li You and Musk sighed together, and Li You sighed, "It's a pity that I'm from the Korean Peninsula."

Musk also sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have money."

"If the three of us help each other, these will no longer be a problem," Bezos blushed.

Relying on his vision for the future, Li You gave them the development direction for the next ten years or so, and the two people, whose enthusiasm was ignited, began to add details for the development direction.

One provides the bones, the other two provide the flesh and blood, and money gives it the soul.

They are all figures of the same level, and all of them are self-made people. There is no linguistic ambiguity or connotation in their conversations, and they all speak very directly.

In the past few days, Li You, who was conducting various official exchanges on the Korean Peninsula, felt comfortable speaking like this.

Riddlers should die, and those who try to be mysterious should also die.

"But Lee," Musk said with interest, "you acquired Marvel?"

Li You looked at this future man who was called "the richer version of Iron Man" with a strange look, "Are you interested too?"

“Some of it,” Musk admitted, “is a money-making interest.”

He is short of money now. Unlike Bezos who has Amazon as his foundation, Musk is now...
For Li You and Bezos, they are really poor.

But he believed in Li You's vision, so he asked this question.

"Easy," Li You waved his hand generously. He was willing to spend money to do favors in such matters.
