Chapter 980 A huge investment of 50 billion US dollars is not just an opportunity

Good resources are always scarce.

Whether it's a degree room or something else, it's all the same.

The same applies to placing it on Venus Technology's lunar research station.

As Venus Technology released the concept video of the lunar research station, the attention of all parties has been very high.

Immediately afterwards, Venus Technology announced that the lunar research station is recruiting like-minded partners from around the world.

As a result, interested countries naturally took action one after another.

"Zhao, we know that the construction of a lunar scientific research station is technically very difficult and the capital investment is also very large."

"But your charges are too high."

"To arrange for an astronaut to enter your space station, it costs 100 million U.S. dollars per person to send it up, and another 100 million U.S. dollars to bring it back."

"The key is that after the astronauts arrive at your space station, they will be charged an additional $100 million for every day they stay."

"To complete some tasks at the lunar scientific research station, it would take even ten days and a half. That would be an investment of more than one billion US dollars. It is really exaggerated."

The European Space Agency acted very quickly this time.

As the director, Werner personally flew over to discuss the cooperation plan with Zhao Siyu.

As for whether each country will separately discuss cooperation with Daystar Technology in the future, that is another matter.

"Werner, if I remember correctly, the construction of the International Space Station cost more than 100 billion US dollars, and a large amount of money is spent on maintenance every year to ensure its normal use."

"Our lunar scientific research station, both in terms of scale and difficulty of construction, is many times higher than the International Space Station."

"According to current estimates, we will need to invest at least US$500 billion to build a lunar scientific research station."

"For such a large investment, based on China's current loan interest rates, the annual interest on funds alone would reach 20 to 30 billion US dollars."

"After the scientific research station is successfully built, the resources we need to expend to maintain its normal operations are also very huge."

"Such a large investment may not necessarily lead to success. Maybe something unexpected happens during the construction process, and we have to start over again. That investment may go directly towards the trillion-dollar mark."

"This is such a large investment that has never been seen in human history. Even if we want to cooperate with you at a low price, there is no way."

Anyway, Venus Technology’s financial reports are kept confidential, and China has even exempted Venus Technology from all taxes and fees in the next ten years.

All financial data of Daystar Technology are not disclosed to the outside world, and even the tax bureau does not know it.

So Zhao Siyu said how much money was invested in the lunar scientific research station, that is how much money was invested.

If you don’t believe it, then don’t believe it!

If you don’t cooperate anyway, there are others who want to cooperate.

This thing, within the next ten years, or even within the next twenty years, there will be only one store with no other branches.

If you can't make a higher profit in your independent business, is that because you're mentally ill?

"Although we can also understand that the construction cost of the lunar scientific research station is high and the risks are high, it can accommodate at least dozens of people working at the same time at one time. If we follow your charging standards, the cost of these personnel's entry alone will cost a year. It’s reached hundreds of billions of dollars, or even more.”

"This data is a bit exaggerated."

Werner is definitely not willing to accept the high price so easily.

However, Zhao Siyu also would not give in.

"That's not how the accounts are calculated. First of all, most of the staff at our scientific research station are engineers from our own company. We can't ask them to charge. This is equivalent to a huge loss of income."

"Then it's impossible for the scientific research station to be fully staffed all year round. That's unrealistic."

"It's like a hotel outside. It's impossible for the hotel to be fully booked 365 days a year."

"In this case, if we charge one person US$100 million, it is actually not high at all."

"Of course, if you think it's a little high, I think it's normal."

"In fact, when we calculated the costs internally, I was shocked."

"Anyway, it will take some time to build the lunar scientific research station. You can think about it carefully when you go back."

Zhao Siyu came directly to retreat in order to advance.

Do you think it’s expensive?

Then you can stop cooperating first.

Go back and think about it carefully. I just don’t know if there will be any chance of cooperation after you think it through.

Werner is naturally aware of this situation.

So I definitely won’t go back directly.

Seeing that there was not much room for negotiation on price, Werner changed the topic and said: "If these cooperation funds have to be paid now, isn't it a bit unreasonable?"

"After all, the construction of our lunar scientific research station has not started yet."

"Then the cooperation terms also directly stipulate that no refunds will be given for cooperation funds under any circumstances. Isn't this very unreasonable?"

"What if this scientific research station is never built, wouldn't we be at a loss?"

Werner felt that his request was a very normal request, so he spoke in a louder tone.

However, Zhao Siyu did not follow his pace at all and said directly: "It is indeed as you said, this cooperation has certain risks."

"It is precisely because the risk of this project is very high that we have such a rule."

"Again, there is no need to rush this cooperation. It is okay to go back and think it over before signing."

Zhao Siyu pretended to show a rather regretful expression on his face and continued to take a step back.

But when he stepped back like this, Werner found that his situation was even more embarrassing.

"Then... let's go back and think about it again."

Werner is also an experienced negotiator.

He also knew that if he continued to give in at this time, he would probably have no say in the future.

This is not the result he wanted.

So even if he agreed, he would definitely struggle.

Zhao Siyu didn't care about this.

Because after the meeting with Werner, he had to communicate with several Middle Eastern countries about the cooperation project of the lunar research station in the next week.

The Emirates, which had cooperated on the Chang'e space station and whose astronauts were still in the space station and had not returned, was also very enthusiastic this time.

After initially understanding the various requirements and related promotion plans of Venusstar Technology and visiting the production factories of several products of Venusstar Technology, the Crown Prince, as a representative, once again signed a huge cooperation order worth 20 billion US dollars with Venusstar Technology.

In order to show respect for major customers, Zhao Siyu also gave the Emirates some room to maneuver.

At that time, they can flexibly consider whether to increase the number of people landing on the moon or choose to extend the time of landing on the moon.

Anyway, the package is 20 billion US dollars. Within the scope of the rules, you can play whatever you want.

Following closely, the dog big family, who had been struggling whether to further cooperate with Venusstar Technology in the field of aerospace, also became rich this time.

They directly targeted the Emirates and signed a sky-high cooperation contract of 20 billion US dollars with Venusstar Technology.

And their funds were transferred to the foreign exchange account of Venusstar Technology on the day of signing the contract.

The banks were shocked.

After all, they had never seen a one-time payment of 20 billion US dollars before.

The Emirates and the big dog seemed to have taken the lead, and Qatar was not far behind and came to cooperate.

They chose to sign a package service of 10 billion US dollars, which is also a super large order.

The three contracts in the Middle East alone contributed a huge order of 50 billion US dollars to Venusstar Technology.

Of course, after obtaining these orders, whether Venusstar Technology will cooperate with the other party in some fields such as satellite intelligence and anti-missile air defense is only clear to the parties involved.

Even because of these cooperations, whether China will give these countries some special protection and speak on the other party's position at a critical moment is also a topic that cannot be discussed on the table.

After signing three large orders in a row, in order to achieve a huge publicity effect, Venusstar Technology specially set the official announcement on the official Weibo on the same day.

In this way, the news that the lunar research station received a huge financial cooperation of 50 billion US dollars naturally landed on the hot search.

50 billion US dollars, not 50 billion RMB.

The impact of this data is absolutely huge.

Even the Aerospace Science and Technology side couldn't help but be a little jealous.

"Mr. Cao, congratulations, this time you have directly recovered all the various investments in the lunar research station, right?"

Qian Junfeng tried his best to control himself from being jealous, but it was 50 billion US dollars in cooperation funds.

How could he not be jealous?

The total funding for Aerospace Science and Technology in the past ten years is less than 50 billion US dollars, right?

As a result, the three local tyrants in the Middle East directly gave 50 billion US dollars to Venusstar Technology.

Even if Venusstar Technology paid some other things behind this, it was worth it.

"Hey, Mr. Qian, you don't know that I'm under a lot of pressure right now."

"You know how difficult it is to build a scientific research station on the moon."

"Whether it's a lunar orbital space station, lunar orbital satellite launches, or all kinds of efforts to land on the moon in the future, they are actually preparing for the construction of a lunar scientific research station."

"In this case, if all the investments are added together, it will be very scary."

"It's not as exaggerated as I said, this $50 billion is really not enough."

"In the future, our lunar base will form a large base that can allow humans to survive for a long time."

"This investment is completely a bottomless pit."

"Don't say $50 billion, maybe $500 billion won't be enough."

Cao Yang explained half-truthfully.

After all, he had already received the benefits, so there was no need to be jealous.

Describing the situation as a little more difficult, after spreading it out, it can also make those who invested money feel much more comfortable.

Besides, what Cao Yang said was not a lie.

At most, it was some unconfirmed content.

"The construction of the lunar base will definitely cost a lot of money."

"But the base naturally has other ways to make money, right?"

Although Qian Junfeng felt that Cao Yang's explanation made sense, he always felt that something was wrong.

If these projects were handed over to NASA, it would cost so much money, he believed it.

But it would be so expensive if it was handed over to Venusstar Technology, so he had more questions in his mind.

Of course, it would be meaningless to argue about this issue at this time.

Why don't we just talk about the matter and have a good exchange about the lunar research station.

Maybe many Nobel Prizes in the future will be related to the lunar base.

In the future, there will probably be a lot of related articles in magazines such as Science and Nature.

"Let's not talk about how the lunar base will make money later, just the early investment in these projects is scary."

"This $50 billion advance payment is really not enough!"

Cao Yang's words are not false. After all, the lunar bases planned in the future are not just one or two, but will be combined with the geographical conditions of the moon to build at least twelve large bases.

In this case, let alone 50 billion US dollars, adding a zero may not be enough.

Of course, if the moon is successfully mined and some rare metals or other minerals are transported back by starship spacecraft, it is normal for the project to make a profit every year.

"Mr. Cao, for such a large investment, we at Aerospace Science and Technology can help communicate with relevant departments and invite some industrial investment funds to participate in it. What do you think?"

Qian Junfeng did not continue to argue with Cao Yang about the return on investment. After all, this is not his focus.

As the general manager of Aerospace Science and Technology, what he wants to do most is how to get involved in this project.

China is not without money. As long as there are good projects, relevant departments can definitely find ways to raise enough funds.

Various banks can also provide huge loan support.

As long as these funds come in, Aerospace Science and Technology will definitely be able to exert some influence.

After all, they are all state-owned enterprises, and direct transfers between shares are also common.

"For the time being, with the support of 50 billion US dollars, it is enough for the next two years."

"If I need it later, I will communicate with the relevant departments."

Cao Yang knew that some money was not so easy to get.

Venustech is not short of money now, just develop it on its own.

...

After a few rich countries set an example, other institutions such as the European Space Agency could not sit still.

Various personnel came to Venustech to discuss cooperation. Even if they did not want to sign a cooperation agreement so quickly, it would not hurt to understand it first.

However, in this way, the situation in the United States was a bit embarrassing.

Griffin didn't know whether he should go over to talk to Venustech or pretend that he saw nothing?

"Musco, do you think the plan for the lunar research station released by Venustech is feasible?"

Although Griffin's concerns have already explained many of his inner thoughts.

But he still wanted to hear how Musco viewed this issue.

"Very impressive!"

"They can easily build a space station, so the threshold for landing on the moon is not that high for them."

"And once they successfully land on the moon, it is very likely that they will build a scientific research station on the moon."

"The only difference is the scale of the scientific research station."

Masco considered the words and expressed his thoughts.

Obviously, he felt that the concept video released by Venustech was completely possible.

"If that's the case, then we're embarrassed."

"Once China builds a base on the moon first, then they can occupy a lot of territory according to international rules or unspoken rules."

"When we march to the moon again in the future, it is very likely that many suitable landing points will be occupied by others."

Granfen's concern is obviously not without reason.

After all, up to now, America has no clear plan to return to the moon.

According to this progress, it is estimated that it will not be done in the next ten years.

In this case, it will be very fatal.

"There is nothing we can do about it. Unless we can also land on the moon as soon as possible, it will be very difficult to stop them."

"What's more troublesome is that after Venusstar Technology did this, many countries in the world are looking for them to cooperate."

"The potential impact and risks of this matter are difficult to assess."

After Musk said this, Grenfell was silent.

Of course, he could feel the huge impact of this matter.

The hat of a high-tech country has always been worn on the head of the United States.

But now more and more high-tech is linked to China, what is going on?

...

Venusstar Technology's lunar research station project has attracted great attention from various countries.

Nanshan Film and Television also thinks that they can be involved in this matter.

Especially the previous movie "The Wandering Earth" was very successful, which can be said to be both famous and profitable.

This gave Zhang Xin and Zhang Songwen more confidence in shooting science fiction movies.

"Zhang Xin, do you want to shoot a new science fiction movie based on the lunar research station?"

Zhang Songwen quickly read the script framework handed over by Zhang Xin, weighing the pros and cons of this matter in his mind.

The investment in the filming of science fiction films is relatively large.

If there is no better prospect to look forward to, no film and television company will dare to start easily.

Now Zhang Xin plans to invest 1 billion yuan to shoot a new science fiction movie. How much box office will it take to recover the cost?

Although with the rapid development of China's economy and the rapid increase in the number of movie theaters, the box office of movies has also increased a lot in recent years.

But movies with a box office of billions are still very rare.

Just throw away this 1 billion investment, and if the box office does not exceed 3 billion, it will definitely lose money.

That's why Zhang Songwen was a little confused.

"I think this is a very good opportunity. Daystar Technology's lunar research station will be built one after another in the next few years, and we are now starting the filming of the movie, which is expected to be released by the end of next year, or the summer of the year after at the latest. Released."

"By then, the lunar scientific research station project will definitely have some clearer progress."

Zhang Xin further expressed his thoughts.

In her opinion, although there are some risks, they are not very big.

The key is to take this opportunity to promote Venus Technology and the lunar scientific research station.

This is very important.

"What you said makes sense. Let's make this idea clearer and then tell Mr. Cao."

"When such a big movie is about to be shot, there will probably be a lot of stars from all walks of life who want to participate."

"If sister companies such as Daystar Technology or Nanshan Automobile Group have some promotional ideas, they can definitely integrate them."

“Even the placement of advertisements in some films can be considered in advance.”

Zhang Songwen felt that he still had to say hello to Cao Yang about this matter.

On the one hand, it was to increase the sense of presence, and on the other hand, it was to let Cao Yang know that Nanshan Film and Television was about to shoot a film with a large investment.

Although the scale of enterprises in the Nanshan Group is very large, the projects that Cao Yang handles often cost tens of billions.

But for Nanshan Film and Television, a movie with a budget of 1 billion yuan is already considered a super large-scale production.

Even in the whole of China, it is considered the most heavily invested movie.

"It's okay, but since we have to do this, we have to move faster."

"I'll have people perfect the script as soon as possible, and then I'll see how to make the topic hotter."

"At that time, half of the various advertising placements will be given to Nanshan-based companies, and the other half can be considered to cooperate with outside companies."

"Otherwise, we would be under greater pressure to repay our capital."

Zhang Xin didn't expect this movie to make a lot of money. It would be ideal if it didn't lose money.

As the largest film and television company in China, Nanshan Film and Television must shoot some blockbusters every year in order to continue to maintain its influence.

There are definitely risks involved in shooting blockbusters, and these risks must be borne by a large company.

Fortunately, Nanshan Film and Television has cooperation and cooperation with Nanshan-based companies, and the ways to make profits will be more abundant.

Coupled with Zhang Xin's special background, she is not afraid of losing money while filming blockbusters.

Otherwise, Nanshan Film and Television would really not dare to shoot several blockbusters every year like that.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

These actions of Nanshan Film and Television quickly spread within the industry.

Stars from all walks of life immediately tried their best to play a role in this movie.

And they all have experience, and they know that the most important thing to win the favor of Nanshan Film and Television is to help promote the products of companies such as Nanshan Automobile Group or Honor Technology Group.

Otherwise, don’t even think about it.

Unexpectedly, there has been a trend of celebrities on the Chinese Internet to endorse the products of Nanshan Group companies for free.

It can be said that companies in the Nanshan Group have been successful in this wave.

The competitors were all depressed and speechless!
