Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

When Venus Technology works, it always gives people unexpected results.

For Venus Technology’s projects, some companies also dare to think about unexpected cooperation.

For example, the previous advertisement of Heilan House on Daystar 9 was something that subverted many people's perceptions.

The subsequent cooperation with Qiantu Motor refreshed many people's perceptions.

Although the results brought by these things may be good or bad, they at least let everyone know that Daystar Technology does not take the usual path, and everyone can be bolder.

"Minister Zhou, do you think it is possible for us to cooperate with Daystar Technology on the space station project and directly name the space station Heilan Home Space Station?"

For Zou Jianping, general manager of Heilan Home, if this project can be completed, advertising fees will not be a problem at all.

After all, this is a space station.

Let alone 60 million or 100 million, even 200 million or 300 million are considered.

"This possibility should not be very high. After all, the space station will definitely be in the news often, and it represents the face of Daystar Technology."

"Even if we have to choose a name, there is a high probability that it will be chosen from one of the companies in the Nanshan Group."

Zhou Liqiang didn't dare to pat his chest randomly and take on such a completely impossible job.

Relying on the advertising business of Daystar No. 9, Heilan House was successfully reorganized and listed last month, and is now in a prosperous situation.

Having just raised a large amount of funds, it is normal for the boss Zou Jianping to want to do something big.

However, branded advertising is no longer possible.

Of course, Zou Jianping would not give up easily, saying: "The space station project is so big. In addition to sponsorship advertising, can we have other cooperation?"

"For example, when the time comes, I think we can do something about astronauts' space suits or other clothing-related businesses?"

"Even if it's just naming the space suit, it still has a certain meaning."

Zhou Liqiang felt that he had hope of winning Zou Jianping's proposal.

After all, it's just an advertising placement, so the sensitivity isn't that high.

For the hugely expensive space station project, being able to implement certain advertising placements can be regarded as reducing some of the burden.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Besides, it is very meaningful for Heilan House to participate in such a project for its own company's brand building.

Zou Jianping also thought about this very clearly.

Otherwise, which boss would be willing to give away a large sum of cash for advertising?

While Heilan Home is thinking about riding on the popularity of the space station, Nanshan Film and Television is also thinking about making some contribution to Venus Technology’s space station project.

"Zhang Xin, I think the script of "The Wandering Earth" can be slightly adjusted to embed Daystar Technology's space station into the movie."

"As for the styling, I just used the concept picture posted on Mr. Cao's Weibo."

"When the Chinese audience first sees Venus Technology's space station in the cinema, and then when it is actually launched and assembled later, it will definitely attract higher attention."

“This should be very beneficial to Venus Technology’s space station project.”

Zhang Songwen came to Zhang Xin's office in person and made a suggestion to her.

This year Zhang Xin has been busy working on the science fiction movie "The Wandering Earth".

Because he wanted to make this film the most successful science fiction film in China and the film with the largest investment in China, Zhang Xin also attached great importance to it and turned down all other business to personally follow the progress of each project.

Although Zhang Songwen is the general manager, matters involving this project must still be discussed with Zhang Xin.

"Mr. Zhang, I was just about to tell you that the space station project of Daystar Technology is really suitable for being embedded in our movie."

"At that time, I will directly print the Venus Technology LOGO on the outside based on the concept drawing of the space station sent by my cousin."

"Once the movie is released, Daystar Technology's space station will definitely increase its popularity."

If other companies want to place advertisements in their movies, they often need to take the initiative to communicate with Nanshan Film and Television with a check.

But for Daystar Technology, the situation is completely different.

Whether it is Zhang Songwen or Zhang Xin at Nanshan Film and Television, they are actively thinking about how to help.

It’s still free!

Although this approach is a bit unfair to other investors, no one has any objection.

In reality, there are very few people who can make a company bigger and stronger without sense.

If you really don't know what's interesting, the company may have collapsed before it even develops and grows.

"Then it seems that we have come together."

"The space station of Daystar Technology looks really spectacular. In the future, it will not only appear in the movie "The Wandering Earth", but also have the opportunity to be embedded in many other movies."

"This can even be used as a business card in our Nanshan Film and Television works."

Zhang Songwen is very active and continues to plan some future publicity for Venus Technology’s space station.

As a private enterprise, Daystar Technology definitely wants to obtain some benefits through the space station project.

Although Zhang Songwen still doesn't understand what specific benefits Venus Technology can obtain from this project, it does not affect him from providing help towards this idea.

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with this idea. I even think I can mention it to my cousin. When building the space station, we can insert some advertisements like when we make movies."

"For example, if one of the display screens above uses BOE products, then the logo can be made larger and more related lenses can be provided in the future."

“Another example is the food that needs to be used during the operation of the space station. You can also directly find some brands for cooperation.”

"Similar advertising placement can be carried out on a large scale."

"Even this advertising investment business is launched globally."

The more Zhang Xin talked about it, the more he felt that his proposal was very good.

In the past few days, she has been paying close attention to Venus Technology's space station project.

Although there are many favorable reviews on the Internet, most of them are actually unfavorable.

The main reason is that this project consumes too much money.

In particular, more than US$100 billion was invested in building the International Space Station to its current scale. This news has spread throughout the Chinese Internet in the past few days.

Even if Daystar Technology is relatively cost-effective, many people think it needs at least tens of billions of dollars.

How can a private enterprise afford such a sum of money?

So finding ways to raise funds is something that must be considered.

At least Zhang Xin thinks so.

"It is indeed worth considering this aspect, not only for obvious advertising placement, but also for sponsoring some space station parts."

"XX is the supplier of Venus Technology Space Station. Just putting this label on it is worth at least several million, or even tens of millions, right?"

"The money for parts and components will not be spent, but advertising fees will be collected. In this way, the construction cost of their space station should be significantly reduced."

Based on Zhang Xin's suggestions, Zhang Songwen mentioned some new ideas "whimsically".

Although this idea seems a bit unreliable, if you think about it carefully, it seems feasible.

"I'll call my cousin later and have a good chat with him."

Zhang Xin did what he said and directly picked up his mobile phone and called Cao Yang.

"Brother, the space station over there at Daystar Technology..."

Zhang Xin sputtered and spoke out all his thoughts.

The idea of ​​using movie-making routines in building a space station is really strange.

The key is that it really can't be said that it has no effect at all.

Daystar Technology is a private company, and the space station is full of advertisements, so there is no need to worry about being too childish.

The reason why the previous space stations did not have any advertisements is because in the past, whether it was the United States, Polar Bear, or the International Space Station that the two cooperated with, they were all established by official organizations.

In this case, it is definitely not suitable for advertising.

Besides, at that time, no one thought about making money from advertising.

If you don’t have enough funds, just apply.

It’s impossible for the project to stop there after it’s halfway through, right?

"Director Zhang, your idea is okay, but most of the parts are produced internally by Nanshan companies, so the sponsorship effect of this advertising business is relatively limited."

"But it's not impossible. Even when the astronauts do live broadcasts, it will be possible to directly put a few advertisements."

Although according to Cao Yang's estimation, the construction cost of Venus Technology's space station should ultimately be controlled within 50 billion yuan, and it is even possible to reduce it to less than 30 billion yuan.

But being able to get some funds back from other channels is naturally the best thing.

After all, no one would mind having too much money.

"right!"

"That's how I feel..."

Zhang Xin was elated when Cao Yang called him "Director Zhang" and told Cao Yang his various thoughts.

The outside world has never seen this kind of showy operation.

So when Daystar Technology announced on its official website and official WeChat account that it would advertise for the space station, a bunch of people were immediately shocked.

In particular, this time's advertising investment business specifically gave some examples to remind everyone that they can use their imagination to come up with ideas for their own advertising placements.

"Mr. Cao, what you guys are doing is so outrageous. You can actually cause trouble like this."

Qian Junfeng of Aerospace Science and Technology couldn't help but call Cao Yang first.

Over the years, Aerospace Technology has never dared to advertise its products.

As a result, you see Venus Technology?

I wish I could turn the space station into a billboard.

The key is that this approach has really attracted the interest of many companies.

In particular, some Internet companies want to get closer to high technology and improve their own style, so they are more enthusiastic about this matter.

Even several Internet shopping websites have begun to contact Daystar Technology, hoping to obtain exclusive Internet shopping advertising placement.

"There's nothing you can do about it, people are poor and have short ambitions!"

Cao Yang and Qian Junfeng were very familiar with each other, so they teased him directly.

Anyway, everything has been made official, and there is nothing to be embarrassed to admit.

Before the official announcement, Zhao Siyu had already warned Cao Yang that something similar would happen, but Cao Yang still asked people to attract investment.

Letting more Chinese companies feel involved is not a bad thing for the space station project.

After all, when it is completed, it will still need to attract foreign investment and attract scientific researchers from various countries and even some companies to enter the space station to conduct scientific research.

Of course, these all cost money.

"Mr. Cao, if you, the richest man in the world, still say that you are poor, then wouldn't I be a beggar?"

“I go to relevant departments every day to ask for funds, and I feel like I’m just like a beggar.”

Qian Junfeng felt a little speechless.

This Cao Yang is so ridiculous.

"Mr. Qian, some of the equipment or parts of aerospace technology can also be considered for use on Venus Technology's space station. If you are interested, I will make the decision and the advertising fee will be waived."

When Cao Yang said this, Qian Junfeng immediately said a little speechlessly: "Originally, we not only have to provide you with parts and equipment for free, but also give you money?"

"Yes, even with this condition, many companies have come to our doorstep."

Qian Junfeng:......

The two chatted for a while, and after confirming the authenticity of the matter, they hung up the phone.

However, the impact of this incident will definitely not disappear so quickly.

Even this matter has really attracted the interest of many companies.

The most obvious one is Heilan House.

"Mr. Zou, we don't need to take the initiative to contact you this time. Daystar Technology itself has come up with an advertising investment plan."

"There is absolutely no problem with the advertising placement on our space suits."

"But now we are afraid that other clothing companies will compete with us for this advertising placement."

Zhou Liqiang was originally planning to fly to Yangcheng to interview Daystar Technology about advertising placement.

But now that Daystar Technology has proactively launched advertising investment, this matter has become much easier.

Of course, it's easy to come back easy, and there are many companies that are interested in this piece of fat. It's really hard to say whether Heilan House can continue to enjoy this wave of dividends.

"Well, advertising placement can be carried out in so many fields, and space suits are also suitable."

"But if there are too many ads embedded, the effect of our advertising implants on the space suits will be much worse, right?"

Zou Jianping said something a bit tangled.

Advertising must be done.

But after spending money, he definitely hopes to maximize the effect.

"This should be related to the advertising placement of the entire space station."

"And as long as we are willing to pay more, Daystar Technology will definitely find a way to solve our concerns."

Zhou Liqiang is relatively familiar with the situation in the Morning Star Imperial Examination.

After all, the previous advertisement placement on Daystar No. 9 was decided after Zhou Liqiang personally participated in the negotiations.

It can be said that he has some acquaintances at Venus Technology.

"That's right. We'd better settle the matter of advertising placement as soon as possible. We can figure out other solutions later."

Following the actions of Heilan House, many other clothing companies have also taken action.

However, in the end, Daystar Technology chose to cooperate with Heilan Home and insert advertisements for each other on the space suits.

…

"Masco, China's Daystar Technology is so capable of causing trouble. Not to mention the ingenious way to build a space station, it actually has to put a lot of advertising on the space station."

"They want to carry out the commercialization of space to the end."

As the technical director of Space Exploration Technology Company, Diels has been paying close attention to the developments of Venus Technology, a competitor, during this period.

Naturally, he had known about Venus Technology's plan to build its own space station for a long time.

"Diles, don't you think these practices of Daystar Technology are worth learning from?"

"They are the companies that have the same style of doing things as us."

"When our Falcon 9 used common materials like stainless steel as its shell, many people laughed at us and thought it looked too ordinary."

"But for rocket launches, reducing launch costs is the most important thing."

"Venus Technology has been researching recyclable rockets since they first came out, and succeeded in doing so immediately. This also significantly reduces costs."

"Previously, they accepted advertising business from a Chinese company and advertised directly on the shell of Venus 9."

"Now we are going one step further to use the space station as a good advertising display platform. I think it is a very bold act."

Musko's thinking is different from that of traditional aerospace industry people.

In his view, as long as it does not affect technological progress, other behaviors can be considered.

If advertising can significantly alleviate financial pressure, then why not do it?

After all, they are private enterprises, not government agencies, and do not need to consider so many rules and regulations.

"But if there are advertisements everywhere on the space station, it feels a bit uncomfortable."

Diers imagined the live broadcast scene in the space station. It was like a variety show with advertisements everywhere, which made people feel very disharmonious.

"It's just that I'm not used to it. It won't affect the development of the space station. It's even good for the development of the space station."

"Traditional space agencies all need to consider many things other than technology."

"For example, NASA, why they drastically cut their own R\u0026D projects and instead support the development of space exploration technology companies is because within their rules and regulations, there is no way to improve the efficiency of many things, and the costs are also very high. Difficult to reduce.”

"For example, our improved Falcon 9 has been conducting launch tests one after another in a short period of time. If it were placed at NASA, they would never dare to do this."

"If there are several explosions in succession, then the positions of some people at NASA will change."

Masco pointed out the key points of the problem sharply.

This is actually not a problem faced by NASA, but every other country in the world has similar problems.

Whether it is the European Space Agency or China Aerospace Science and Technology, everyone must make all-round confirmations before launching the rocket. They dare not officially launch without full confidence.

Unlike Venus Technology and Space Exploration Technology Company, as long as the boss dares to make a decision, the risk is relatively high and the technology is not mature, and the test data can be collected first.

This kind of development efficiency is naturally relatively high.

"Our improved Falcon 9 has now completed its second reusable launch test, and there are basically no problems."

"The Starlink project can also begin to be officially launched, but in terms of space station construction, do we need to follow the pace of Venus Technology?"

Diers asked a more crucial question.

He naturally knows the importance of the space station.

If the Space Exploration Technology Company will march towards Mars in the future, it will be necessary to have a space station as an outpost.

However, the cost of building a space station is very huge, and it is not likely that the Starlink project will be profitable, so Diels does not dare to directly propose building a space station.

"At this stage, the priority is to build Starlink, and we will consider the space station in a few years."

Masco thought for a moment and gave his reply.

He was rich, but he was far from as rich as later generations, let alone compared with Cao Yang, the richest man in the world.

Although Tesla's sales are also rising, it has not yet achieved profitability and cannot provide sufficient financial support to space exploration technology companies.

A Starlink project has cost a lot of money and relies on financing to support it.

If there is another space station project, the funding gap will be too big, and shareholders may not support it.

So now even if he knows that the space station is important, he can only put it aside first.

"Well, the conditions for building a space station are indeed not mature enough now. It won't be too late to wait and see in a few days."

Diers felt a little regretful, but he could fully understand Masco's decision.

…

While many people are discussing the investment promotion of Venus Technology Space Station, some interested businesses have begun to contact Venus Technology.

Everyone's enthusiasm is much higher than expected.

Some listed companies even proactively issued announcements saying that they were negotiating space station cooperation with Daystar Technology.

Anyway, everyone wants to take advantage of this hot spot to increase their product sales or company market value to a higher level.

This situation leaves some people speechless.

"Mr. Qian, can we also consider inserting some advertisements into our future rockets or space stations?"

"Although the funding allocation is increasing every year, we have also added many new projects, and the funding is actually always a bit tight."

Zhu Yuanming is obviously a little envious of Daystar Technology's approach.

After all, no one would dislike having more funds.

"Venus Technology has taken the lead, and the relevant departments should have much less concerns."

"But we definitely can't be as crazy as Daystar Technology in advertising. We can only try it when a certain rocket is launched."

"If the response from all aspects is good, we will consider further expanding the scale of the advertising business."

Qian Junfeng thought about the impact of advertising and thought it would be appropriate to try it.

After all, those advertising dollars are also very good.

"I think this is probably a concept issue. In the past, people thought that the aerospace industry was very high-end and required very high confidentiality, and it was not suitable for all kinds of advertising."

"But Daystar Technology has broken everyone's traditional understanding, and everyone will gradually get used to advertisements on various spacecrafts."

"This is actually a development method that is more in line with the market economy."

Zhu Yuanming is just in his early forties this year. He can be regarded as a young and promising technical expert with a relatively open mind.

Soon, Aerospace Technology formally discussed the advertising business internally at the meeting, and then began to implement it.

Of course, aerospace science and technology also cooperated with state-owned enterprises at the beginning, so that it would not appear so conspicuous, but this can be regarded as a relatively big start.

Subsequent rocket launches in other countries were also making similar attempts.

I have to say that this can be regarded as a change that Venus Technology has brought to everyone.
