Rebirth Capital Entertainment

As long as there is a profitable industry in the United States, there will inevitably be the entry of capital. From the civilian industry to the military industry, to espionage and intelligence, from the universe to the deep sea, countless industries have been penetrated by capital.

This put American business in a state of absolute freedom, allowing capitalists to move forward boldly without restraint. The three hundred and sixty industries were in full bloom and seemed to be thriving.

The Maxar company that Kaos needs is a private private satellite company established in the 1960s for the needs of Cold War confrontation. It also experienced vigorous development in that era, but as its opponent collapsed, there was no opponent for a while.

Naturally, the United States is cutting back on military spending.

This put Maxar, which already needed massive funds for R&D and testing, into dire straits for a while, which was very uncomfortable.

"How about it? I only need 50% of your shares for US$1 billion. If necessary, Google can continue to inject capital. This is a win-win situation for both of us."

Carson looked at the shareholders of Maxar Company across from him seriously, and spoke with a very relaxed and comfortable expression. He was not worried at all that the other party would reject his proposal. Even if it were not for financing, he would have enough funds for the development of Maxar Company. He was confident that

You can get a lower price.

Don’t say that domestic missile manufacturers are inferior to those selling tea eggs.

In fact, any cutting-edge technology is already the best if it does not lose money. If it starts to make money, it is already a backward technology. Almost all of them have entered the market from the laboratory and can be mass-produced.

Technology.

Therefore, satellite service companies such as Maxar did not make much profit at all after the country canceled a large number of orders. Instead, they were losing money.

This is not because profit points cannot be found in the universe, but more because the technology is not mature enough. Every launch and satellite maintenance consumes a huge amount of money. Naturally, such services are rarely needed, and it is even less likely to be available.

What profit.

Just like the various cosmic plans proposed by Elon Musk in later generations, they sound very exciting, but if you think about it secretly, you will understand that these plans are just a fantasy and have no possibility of being realized.

It will also leave huge trouble for all mankind.

For example, the Starlink project is a joke to Kaos and will only bring trouble to mankind's future space exploration.

We must know that from the occurrence of the first satellite in 1957, to now there are only more than 5,000 satellites recorded in the world, of which less than a thousand satellites can still be used normally, and the remaining ones have become the universe floating in outer space.

Rubbish.

But now Musk is planning to launch 20,000 or even 40,000 satellites. This may bring a lot of convenience in the early stage, but after that, the entire starry sky will be filled with garbage, waiting for latecomers to clean up.

It will also bring huge trouble to satellites launched later. It is very likely that if you launch with your front foot, your back foot will be knocked off by the space debris it creates. The longer this continues, the fewer orbits suitable for satellites will be in the future.

Even his Mars immigration plan is a technology that looks beautiful, but cannot be realized in a short time. To be more accurate, it should be said that it does not have the ability to be mass-produced.

In Kaos's view, any technology is only in the laboratory stage before it can be popularized and mass-produced, and there is absolutely no need to implement it on a large scale.

The United States' Apollo manned lunar landing program was implemented from May 1961 to the last manned lunar landing on Apollo 17 in December 1972, with a total cost of approximately US$49.256 billion.

You know, that was nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars in the 1960s and 1970s. If converted now, it would probably cost several trillion U.S. dollars.

It can be seen from this that as long as humans are willing to spend money, it is not impossible for humans to enter the universe, but such a large consumption is not directly proportional to the cost of immigration. If you expect to send a few people to Mars, what can they do to bring you

Trillions of dollars in returns.

In particular, hardware upgrades are different from software. After software technology upgrades, it is just a matter of code writing, while hardware upgrades mean that previous satellites have become useless and become cosmic garbage.

In Kaos's view, satellite launches should be more about technical testing and experiments to meet current uses. Providing more data for future development, rather than rushing in before the technology has stabilized.

Busy working on such a grand plan.

"We need this money very much, but we want to know what Google's plans are for maxar."

Desi Burke, chairman of maxar, asked somewhat calmly. To finance a company's shares, it doesn't just mean you have a lot of money. Unless you are selling the company, as long as you still have shares in it, it represents the company.

There is your benefit in it.

Under such circumstances, Desi Burke naturally wanted to know whether the other party's plan would harm their interests and make their shares in the company worthless.

"No, in fact we will not be too involved in Maxar's development. What's more important is financing and investing in Maxar. We hope that your company can provide us with better and more satellite photography data."

Carson smiled and did not hide anything. The development of Google Maps requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It must be a big move and cannot be concealed for a long time. Naturally, there is no need to conceal it.

"Satellite photography data...."

After Desi Burke heard Carson's needs, he breathed a sigh of relief and became more confident in the cooperation between the two parties.

As there was no conflict of interest between the two parties and they were very satisfied with Google's bid, the two parties naturally entered into negotiations on the subsequent details, and the progress was very fast. Three days later, Carson returned to Google with the contract, and at the same time he brought back the contract.

There is a huge amount of satellite photography data.

This is all the data accumulated by Maxar over the years. Although these data still cost a lot of money, fortunately, the money is put into the left hand and the right hand, which is not very heartbreaking.

"Well done. The following plan needs to convince the government. This is a long-term task. We can develop the technology and implement it at the same time."

Nodding and watching the company's technician nod, Kaos breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no problem with the data, turned around and hugged Carson, with a smile on his face and he was very excited.

"Haha, don't worry. Although it is a bit difficult, I believe that hungry wolves like Sequoia Capital will give us sufficient help."

Carson was full of confidence in this, and initially attracted many VCs. In addition to their funds, another important aspect was to seek their connections, so as to open up some connections for the future development of the company.

"However, that will have to wait until it is listed. If there is not enough interest, they will not be active."

Kaos, who also had evil thoughts, nodded in agreement, but he knew more clearly that Google now had to let VCs see huge benefits, so that they could actively help Google carry out the plan.
