Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

"The goal of Venus Technology is the stars and the sea, the moon, Mars, and more distant planets."

"Venus 9 is just the beginning. In the future, whether it is the Venus 9 MAX or the Starship series rockets, or the development of more distant super-large launch vehicles, they will continue to come."

"I believe that under your leadership, Mr. Zhao, the company will continue to create miracles."

At this time, there is definitely no need for Cao Yang to compete with Zhao Siyu for honors.

For him, there will be no harm in having a few more academicians under his command in the future.

Anyway, these people know very well how great Cao Yang's contribution is behind these projects.

If Cao Yang's influence is average, then these people may leave Nanshan Group companies after becoming academicians.

But with Cao Yang's current strength and the current strength of the Nanshan system, it is obvious that no one will make a stupid decision.

"Mr. Cao, our team will work hard to launch Daystar 9 MAX within next year."

"At the same time, we will also achieve the sea launch of Venus 9 this year."

Zhao Siyu felt that he was suddenly eighteen years old again, and his blood boiled when someone said a few words.

But he liked this feeling very much.

Of course, now is definitely not the time for the two of them to chat.

There are a lot of people at the console, and everyone must come over to congratulate Cao Yang and exchange a few words.

Qian Junfeng, as an aerospace technology player, is even more of a protagonist.

However, Cao Yang had already talked a lot with him, so he focused on Zou Jianping and others from Hailan House who were standing in the corner.

"Mr. Zou, Heilan Home and Daystar Technology have achieved the power of one plus one greater than two this time. It's a win-win situation."

Although the scale of Heilan House cannot compare with Nanshan Group, they took the initiative to offer cooperation and even advertised on Daystar No. 9 for the first time.

The idea is absolutely extraordinary.

So Cao Yang really took a high look at the marketing team of Heilan House.

"This time we have benefited from Daystar No. 9. Not to mention the 60 million advertising fee, even if it is doubled, I think it is worth the money."

Zou Jianping just listened to Zhou Liqiang's report and knew that Hailan House has now become the darling of public opinion.

So I must be in a very good mood now.

He even felt that this advertising case might be included in many universities’ MBA textbooks as a classic case.

“When many consumers buy clothes now, they always feel that clothes from big international brands are better than those made in China.”

"In fact, most of the clothes of international brands are manufactured by our domestic factories."

"There is no difference in quality at all. The prospects for domestic clothing brands in the future are still worth looking forward to."

Although Cao Yang is the richest man in the world, 60 million yuan is nothing in his eyes.

But after all, he is the sponsor of Party A of Daystar, so he still needs to be given the respect he deserves.

After all, since I want to build Daystar into a giant in China's aerospace field, I have to make some moves that are different from those companies in aerospace technology.

This time the rocket advertisement is a very bold attempt.

We may even consider undertaking some more commercial launch missions in the future.

For example, some people's products can be launched into the sky as advertisements, or projects such as space tourism can be launched.

These are all beneficial to promoting the development of Daystar Technology.

In the further future, space stations, lunar bases and the like can even be built, making Daystar a model for the global high-tech industry.

"Mr. Cao, you are absolutely right. It is indeed the case."

"In fact, the technical level of our domestic garment industry is no worse than that of foreign countries."

"If Nanshan Group needs to prepare some work clothes in the future, it can also consider letting us produce them at Heilan Home."

Zou Jianping saw that many people were waiting to communicate with Cao Yang, so he was very sensible and did not take up more of Cao Yang's time.

After a brief exchange of greetings and an order for himself, Cao Yang was handed over to others.

As soon as the reporter from China Channel saw that Cao Yang was free, he immediately squeezed in with long guns and short cannons.

Deputy director Xia Hong even stood by to hold the line in person.

"Mr. Cao, may I ask how you feel about the successful launch of Venus 9, sending the first batch of 60 Starlink satellites into space?"

When reporters from China Channel ask questions, they must be asking more conventional questions and will not engage in weird content.

"I have many feelings and many people I want to thank. Thousands of words can be reduced to one sentence. Thank you for your hard work."

"In the future, everyone will be able to see the news about the successful launch of Venus 9 every month, and everyone will gradually get used to its existence."

"In the future, we will also launch more new rockets that will impress everyone and bring surprises to everyone."

Cao Yang knew that if he talked too much, it would be impossible to broadcast it all on Xinwen Network, so it would be better to simplify it.

"Many people are concerned about the utilization of the Venus 9 recyclable rocket. Will you directly use the rocket launched today to continue the launch mission next time?"

"This depends on the subsequent confirmation of the rocket by our engineering team. If everything is in good condition, this rocket will be used to continue the launch."

Cao Yang didn't say anything to death.

After all, it’s really hard to say what the outcome will be.

Of course, for Venus Technology, whether it can use this recovered rocket immediately or use a reassembled new rocket, it is actually a great success.

After all, the concept of recyclability has been officially implemented.

Even if there is no way to reuse it this time, it is still very valuable to use it as a display product.

"There are rumors that the cost of building such a rocket is several hundred million yuan, but if these rockets can be reused, the average cost of a single launch can be reduced to tens of millions. Is this accurate?"

The biggest advantage of recyclable rockets is reduced launch costs.

So there is definitely no way to avoid this topic easily.

Cao Yang was also mentally prepared for this.

"This also depends on the number of recoverable launches."

"According to our plan, Venus 9 needs to be reused more than 10 times, and its design life is at least 15 times."

"Under this circumstance, it is inevitable that the cost of a single launch can be greatly reduced compared to conventional rocket launches."

Cao Yang didn't say anything to death.

Those cost data are definitely not suitable for directly disclosing attitudes.

So he won't answer this question quantitatively.

"The current mission of Venus 9 is to launch Starlink satellites. Will it undertake other missions in the future?"

"Depending on market demand, all tasks that can be performed will be possible."

Cao Yang continued to communicate with reporters for a while, then pulled Zhao Siyu out, and followed Xia Hong, Qian Junfeng and others out of the control room.

…

Compared with the Internet, TV stations are still less efficient in publicity.

When China Channel was interviewing Cao Yang, many Internet media were also creating content around this topic.

No one wants to miss this popularity.

"Editor Fang, the news channel is already reporting on Venus No. 9. Should our car channel also report on this topic?"

Lin Jiayan has now received instructions from Fang Dawen, asking the Automobile Channel to also write several articles related to Daystar No. 9.

This made Lin Jiayan somewhat confused.

After all, NetEase has other channels besides the car channel.

Obviously, the news content itself has nothing to do with the car channel.

"The content reported by news channels is definitely different from our focus."

"Although Venus 9 is a rocket, they can also be regarded as an industry under the Nanshan Group."

"Essentially, it has the same owner as companies such as Star Motors, Future Motors and Jaguar Land Rover."

"So I think there is no problem in reporting it on the automotive channel."

"The content of our report can be based on Cao Yang's entrepreneurial layout and the relationship between space launches and new energy companies such as future cars."

"Anyway, if there is a gimmick, you can arrange people to write it. Anyway, you don't have to take any responsibility."

Fang Dawen said it so straightforwardly, but Lin Jiayan understood what she should do.

It's a hot spot.

Without making up the content at will, use your association power to analyze some content "reasonably and well-founded".

Any editor at NetEase Auto can do this job.

"I understand. Mr. Cao started from the production of auto parts, and now he is involved in many industries."

"As long as it is news about related companies in Nanshan Group, it can be well reported on our automotive channel."

"Readers should be more interested in these contents."

"We can even interview other car companies to see if they are interested in entering the aerospace industry."

"Maybe we can even come up with a special topic."

Lin Jiayan immediately began to use her own small universe, preparing a few articles to attract a wave of traffic and share the dividends of the successful launch of Venus 9.

"Your idea is very good."

"For example, Geely Automobile has made relevant investments in the Starlink satellite system. At that time, the Starlink system will also be integrated with Geely Automobile's driving technology system to provide consumers with very different car and machine services."

"With the rapid development of intelligence and networking, the importance of vehicle-machine systems will definitely become higher and higher."

"We can definitely interview the heads of companies such as Chery, Great Wall, Changan, etc., and sort out their thoughts into a series of articles."

During the conversation, Fang Dawen and Lin Jiayan successfully determined the direction for some of NetEase Auto's content in the next few days.

To a certain extent, some of the content they discussed was actually not nonsense.

For example, the heads of some automobile companies are indeed discussing this topic internally.

Needless to say, Li Su from Geely Automobile followed Cao Yang directly to the northwest launch site and watched the launch of Venus 9.

It's just that on today's occasion, Li Su is definitely not the protagonist, so China Channel didn't even interview him.

But Li Su must make good use of Geely Automobile's investment in the Starlink satellite system.

So he personally assigned homework to Peng Lin, the director of the sales department.

"Peng Lin, please have a good communication with the R\u0026D department and make plans for how our vehicle-machine system will be integrated with Starlink satellites in the future."

"Then the plan was released immediately in the past two days to let everyone know that Geely Automobile's layout is ahead of other peers."

Li Su definitely didn't want to miss such a good publicity opportunity.

Although competition in China's auto market has become much more intense in the past two years, Li Su has no intention of stopping his expansion.

Even in the next few years, he is preparing to make major strides to increase the production capacity of Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars in China.

He also hopes that Geely Automobile can become the private enterprise with the highest sales volume in China.

Even though there are Xingchen Automobile and Chery Automobile ahead of them, Li Su does not feel that his vision is impossible to achieve.

"We have already had some communication with the R\u0026D department before. I will confirm it later and then give you a detailed report."

"At that time, not only will our vehicle and machine systems be integrated with Starlink satellites, but we will also be able to participate in the production of components for individual Starlink satellites."

"I believe that Nanshan Group would also welcome us to provide some high-quality and low-cost components."

Peng Lin has no plans to make money from the production of satellite parts now.

All he wanted was the name.

Although the main parts of Starlink satellites are produced internally by Nanshan Group, some less difficult parts are still purchased from suppliers.

There is obviously no problem in transferring individual parts to Geely for production.

After all, he is also one of the shareholders, so he can't give up any face.

"Well, this action can be done quickly. Even some of the components on Venus 9 can be actively produced if we can produce them."

"The launch frequency of Venus 9 should be very high in the future, and it is likely that Weibo's hot searches will have content related to Venus 9 for a long time."

"Any company that can be related to Daystar 9 will be able to enjoy part of the dividends."

After Li Su said this, Peng Lin naturally became more motivated to work in the future.

The things that the boss values ​​​​are the most important things.

…

Compared with companies like Geely, which are thinking about how to benefit from the successful launch of Venus 9, the current atmosphere of some companies is not so relaxed.

Far away in the Space Exploration Technology Company on the other side of the Pacific, Musk was communicating with the person in charge of the Falcon 9 project about the successful launch of Venus 9.

"Diles, when can our recyclable Falcon 9 be officially test-fired?"

Masco called Diers to his office a little anxiously.

The company has been established for eleven years and officially launched its first Falcon 9 rocket in 2010.

But the recyclable version he wanted has not yet been formally researched.

If there was no movement from Venus, then he wouldn't be under any pressure.

After all, he is well aware of how difficult it is to develop recyclable rockets.

So he didn't keep chasing Diels before, asking him to test-fire the recyclable version of Falcon 9 as soon as possible.

But things are different now.

Venus Technology, which was established even later, has now launched the recyclable Venus 9.

All launch processes and rocket recovery processes were also broadcast live on the Internet.

The scene was very spectacular and successfully attracted everyone's attention.

As a result, the pressure on Space Exploration Technology Company has increased.

After all, they are the ones who have been the most hyped about the topic of recyclable rockets in recent years.

As a result, it was done first by a Chinese company.

Few Americans can accept this result.

Someone from NASA even called Musk specifically to ask if they could develop a recyclable rocket.

You know, NASA has also given a lot of support to the space exploration technology company that has been able to rapidly develop to its current scale.

So even though it is a private enterprise, the background is actually quite complicated.

Enterprises in any country cannot consider problems without considering the actual situation of the country.

"Musco, according to our original plan, the recyclable version of Falcon 9 will not be officially launched until 2015."

"The experimental rocket will not be tested until next year."

"We are still improving some control systems, and there are no conditions for immediate launch in the short term."

Diles is a technical person, and he doesn't dare to make random promises.

Otherwise something will happen by then.

"Haven't there been several versions of our various systems?"

"The prototype can be assembled at any time, right?"

Masco pressed further.

Musk is also very clear about SpaceX's situation.

Clearly, he has some ideas now.

When launching a rocket, failure is not terrible, but the lack of movement is the most troublesome.

"Yes, if you want to assemble it, you can actually arrange to assemble the various parts together now. It will take a few days to complete the preliminary assembly and then enter the testing process."

Diers felt Masco's anxiety, and the pressure immediately increased.

"Our Falcon 9 has been successfully launched for almost three years, and the entire company is very familiar with its structure."

"Now it's just a matter of transforming the old version into a recyclable version."

"I don't think it's necessary to wait until everything is confirmed to be foolproof before conducting a trial launch."

Masco once again expressed his attitude.

He doesn't want to wait any longer now.

Anyway, whether it is success or failure, he can actually accept it.

It is important to let everyone know that SpaceX is really working on recyclable rockets and has achieved tangible results.

"If you just want to assemble it and launch it, you can choose the opportunity to launch it next week."

The boss said it so straightforwardly that Diers didn't want to get entangled.

Anyway, carrying out the launch mission at this stage will not hurt the research and development work.

It’s just that the research and development costs will be higher.

"Then make arrangements as soon as possible and find the launch opportunity as quickly as possible."

"It is best to be able to successfully recover the rocket, but don't be discouraged if the recovery fails. Just find the cause and improve it as soon as possible, and then arrange the next launch as soon as possible."

After Musko gave this instruction, Space Exploration Technology immediately started taking action.

…

For Venus Technology, the biggest benefit after the successful launch of the rocket is that its popularity has skyrocketed, and many venture capital investors have actively contacted and discussed investing in the company.

But at this time, Cao Yang naturally had no interest in those venture capital investments.

The route Venus wants to take is destined not to accept funds from foreign venture capital.

As for state-owned investment funds, there is no shortage of money now and there is no rush to contact them.

In a year and a half, after Daystar's valuation has further increased, we will consider releasing a certain amount of shares to relevant institutions.

You might as well use the money to burn it and launch a few more Starlink satellites into space.

However, Daystar cannot get the dividends directly given by ordinary netizens. As the biggest profiteer after Daystar Technology, Heilan House is about to win.

"Mr. Zou, the number of additional orders received by the sales department yesterday was more in one day than in the past week."

"I heard that some clothes in some stores have been sold out."

“Now there are a lot more people inquiring about joining.”

Zhou Liqiang had just returned to the company from the northwest launch site when he received good news from the people below.

He didn't waste a moment and told Zou Jianping the good news directly.

"Online shopping is slowly becoming a trend now, especially as smartphones continue to become more popular, more and more people are shopping online."

"In the future, we will also focus on Internet sales and promote online and offline at the same time, so that we can better reap the dividends of publicity."

Zou Jianping was not surprised at all by the news reported by Zhou Liqiang.

After all, the video of the launch of Venus 9 has now exceeded 10 million views.

The first few hot searches on Weibo are all related to this launch.

The publicity effect brought to Heilan House under this situation is naturally beyond doubt.

It is natural for sales to skyrocket.

The power of innovation can be said to be infinite.

"No problem, I'll make arrangements now."

Zhou Liqiang did not expect that extra work would come out after he reported a piece of news.

However, the sales department's responsibility is to provide these contents, so he has nothing to complain about.

It's just that their focus has always been on various directly-operated stores and franchised stores. It can be said that their focus is mainly on offline stores.

Now that he is about to start developing simultaneously online and offline, he will definitely be busy for a while.

Naturally, many companies have seen the advertising effects of Heilan Home.

Those people will naturally not sit still and wait for death.
