I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

The Space Shuttle Progress landed safely, and it was rumored online that Li Wei had flown the Progress, giving the Chinese people great confidence in the Progress.

On June 16, a Rolls-Royce with a Jin plate drove into Xinyuan Company.

A somewhat fat man got out of the car and strode into the reception desk of Xinyuan Aerospace.

During the subsequent self-introduction, Xinyuan's external manager Hu Bo learned that his name was Chen Weizhang, a 59-year-old man engaged in mining development and commonly known as the coal boss.

His publicly announced assets alone amount to tens of billions, making him one of the richest people in Shanxi Province.

"I am an uneducated person. When I was a child, I envied pilots. Later, I envied astronauts. They fly higher than pilots. I only have one wish. I want to go up to the sky and see it. If I go up once in my life, I will die immediately. All worth it.

Xinyuan Aerospace is a high-tech aerospace company, and I know it costs money. As long as my dream can be realized as soon as possible, you have the final say on the price. "

Chen Weizhang stated his intention simply and straightforwardly. Having spent half his life dealing with the earth, his last dream is the farthest space. Before coming to Xinyuan, he had been in Qiongzhou and watched two complete rocket launches.

Then I thought that Xinyuan Aerospace was a private company and would definitely make money from producing space shuttles, so I thought about trying my luck.

Hu Bo did not dare to neglect this rich man with money and dreams, and Lin Ju soon came forward to receive him.

"Chairman Lin is such a young hero. I was still underground at the age of 23, but you are in the sky even at the age of 23 and can't even see it!"

"Mr. Chen, you're welcome. I'm just catching up with the good times."

Lin Ju responded politely, and after saying hello, he went straight to the point and presented the travel plan that Androv had previously designated.

"Xinyuan Aerospace Power has always had its own commercial manned flight plan, and there are currently two options.

The first is to directly take the H1 space shuttle, which can stay in low-Earth orbit for 12 to 16 hours. It requires 8 months of preliminary training. A single flight mission only costs 400 million yuan. There are 5 seats in total. Each additional person only needs one more seat. Pay an additional 50 million yuan in training costs;

Second, our upcoming 7-day trip to the space station still costs 400 million yuan for the space shuttle. The space station supports 4 people, excluding the commander and 3 other passengers. In addition to the training fee, 280 million yuan needs to be paid for the maintenance and launch costs of the space station. , a single charter flight totaling 680 million yuan;

In addition, both can add extravehicular activities. This is more expensive because the space suit has a limited number of uses and needs to be customized. The single-person extravehicular activity adds 50 million, and can go out once every 24 hours. Option 2 is more cost-effective.

Although the two plans still lack some things, if you sign up now, I can guarantee that they will be completed after 8 months of training. This can be written into the contract to guarantee liquidated damages. "

After listening to Lin Ju's introduction, Chen Weizhang silently took the plan and looked through it.

Since it is a commercial space flight for ordinary people, the plan does not contain complex and professional data. It only has exquisite illustrations and price lists that clearly tell you the time and cost, making it easy to understand.

Chen Weizhang raised his head and saw Lin Ju's confident smile.

Lin Ju knows a lot about whether domestic wealthy people are willing to spend this money. Later, in 2019, a foreign company came to China to sell spaceship tickets. It offered a high price of US$150 million, and many people in double digits expressed interest.

The reason why he lowered the price is to promote the expansion of the aerospace industry, but it can also greatly expand potential users and attract wealthy people to order orders, which not only saves the service life of the space shuttle but also makes more money, and is also in line with sinking aerospace and making it more affordable. Ideas that more people are exposed to.

Therefore, Lin Ju does not think that Chen Weizhang will give up due to price factors.

This is indeed the case. Although Chen Weizhang's expression remained unchanged after years of ups and downs in the business world, his hands were already on the table, obviously wanting to negotiate a deal.

"Mr. Lin, to be honest, my life has been a little irregular these past few years. This person is a little sick as he gets older. He didn't know that he would go to space..."

"Don't worry, Lao Hu, go and call the person in charge of the life support system." Lin Ju turned around and ordered, then picked up his phone and pulled up a photo and said:

"Our space shuttle is different from ordinary spaceships. Except for some overloading during launch, you can treat it as an ordinary passenger aircraft at other times. As long as it is not a serious illness highly related to space, a small problem is no problem.

Look at Professor Zhou Rui. He is also going to heaven this time. He happens to be the same age as you, and he is not ready to go to heaven. "

Lin Ju explained that the person in charge of the space shuttle's life support system also came in with a box, gave Chen Weizhang a preliminary examination and asked about his past medical history, and then said that Chen Weizhang fully met the passenger standards.

A relaxed smile finally appeared on the latter's face, and he said to Lin Ju:

"Frankly speaking, Boss Lin, I also checked out the gringos who used to spend a lot of money. Ten years ago, it would have cost tens of millions of dollars. I feel that now I have to spend two to three hundred million dollars to go up there.

However, Xinyuan gave me a big surprise. A person can play in space for 7 days and it will only cost 60 to 700 million. It can also be done with three people. Including extravehicular activities, the average is less than 300 million. If I hadn't been afraid of something happening to this family, The accident would definitely take his two sons with him.

Let's do this, Boss Lin. Let's go to plan two. I'll find two more old guys to come with me at the price you mentioned. If there is anything I can help with in the future, just ask and I will definitely get it done if I can help! "

Chen Weizhang, with the unique pride and confidence of that era, immediately reached an agreement of intent. Although Lin Ju asked people to take him to visit more and learn more, he thought of arranging a business plan quickly.

Now there is only one system engineer in the C-level base, and the other three are in the B-level base. As soon as Lin Ju arrived there, he learned that the factory office had received another inquiry from a rich man, and he was still a kid.

Qian Qian chose friends, a rich man from the island country, the founder of a fashion e-commerce platform, with a net worth of nearly 2 billion US dollars. He has always been passionate about space tourism.

In the original historical line, he will later ride on Lao Ma's second-generation Dragon spacecraft, but now it has been cut off in advance.

The little devil's money is also money. Lin Ju's direct instructions are to follow the external quotation, and there is no distinction between the clearly marked prices. Anyway, there is no difference between the big dogs and the big ones.

Well, excluding Lin Ju’s “staunch friend” Crown Prince Hamand.

For the sake of his own safety, Crown Prince Hamand will have to go to space much later in the day. It may take two or three commercial flights before he dares to take the risk. Of course, he also has the purpose of entering Xinyuan's tourist space station.

The design of the first space station module has been determined. It is expected to have a maximum width of 7.6 meters, a length of 36 meters, a launch mass of 41 tons, an internal habitable volume of 620 cubic meters, four independent bedrooms distributed up and down on both sides, and two bathrooms. The observation deck, restaurant/bar, transition cabin, etc. are completely built for business tourism.

At both ends of the space station is a spherical panoramic observation cabin, and at one end is a cube node cabin with 5 docking ports. The 4 docking ports are large square ports of 2.5 For H1 space shuttle.

The cabin has not yet been named, but is referred to internally as XS-62. It will be manufactured at a B-level base and is expected to be launched before November.
