The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 331: Capped loans are deafening

The last day of December 1966, Zhenhua Research Institute, Director's Office, Beijing.

Chen Guohua is busy writing a paper. He has not yet written the mathematics paper for next month.

He has been quite busy for the past half month because there are a lot of things that need to be paid attention to.

In June, Chen Guohua told his two students, Chen Shuxing and Bai Ronggen, that they would only be given half a year to write their thesis.

The latter was relatively well-behaved. He completed his thesis within four months and graduated smoothly.

Chen Shuxing, on the other hand, insisted on writing three papers, so he started revising them in September and was busy until the end of November, when he finally finished.

Both students successfully graduated and both stayed at Zhenhua Institute to assist with its daily mathematical tasks.

Zhenhua Research Institute is no longer a start-up scientific research institution, but there are almost no talents in the field of pure mathematics.

Now Chen Shuxing and Bai Ronggen have joined in, filling this gap.

There are already a lot of people in the Beijing Institute of Advanced Sciences, and Chen Shuxing and Bai Ronggen can also be regarded as people in this institution, but they are not full-time, but part-time.

Just like Chen Guohua, he cannot always stay at the Beijing Institute of Advanced Sciences.

To be honest, if Chen Guohua can get Grothendieck, Michael Atiyah, Erdesh and others to join the Beijing Institute of Advanced Sciences, it is already very good.

After more mathematicians are discovered in the mainland, the Beijing Institute of Advanced Science will be fully established.

Of course, Chen Guohua is still so young. In the next few decades, Beijing will surely become one of the world's mathematics centers, or even the only mathematics center.

Near noon, Chen Guohua had almost finished writing his paper. At this time, Chen Shuxing and Bai Ronggen also walked in.

"Teacher, are you writing a paper? What is your direction this time?"

Seeing Chen Guohua's actions, Chen Shuxing and Bai Ronggen's eyes suddenly lit up and they asked curiously.

Their teacher publishes a mathematics paper every month, and many people know this.

"Here you are, come on, help me look at this paper, check it for me."

Chen Guohua raised his head and handed over the paper directly.

The two of them were immediately overjoyed. They spoke modestly, but their hands were not slow.

At this time, another person came outside the door, it was Qiu Zongyue.

When Lao Qiu comes, it means he has another job.

Bai Ronggen and Chen Shuxing took their papers and went to the office area outside. After Qiu Zongyue closed the door, they began to talk.

The first thing is aerospace technology.

The higher-ups feel that the space station project plan should be temporarily suspended and the moon landing plan should be fully promoted.

Regarding this issue, this has been the most discussed topic in the past month or two.

Qian Xuesen, Sun Jiadong, Pan Houren and others all agreed with the moon landing plan, just because North America did it this way, and Moscow did it the same way.

On the contrary, the space station plan is not a future development trend, and this project requires more efforts and funds, so it is normal to be disapproved of.

Chen Guohua was quite speechless when he heard this question again. Are they still discussing it?
What is there to discuss about this issue?

The space station is the future. What is the moon landing plan? What is the use of this?
"Leader, let's have a meeting with everyone after a while to discuss this issue. Anyway, from a technical perspective and from a practical needs perspective, the space station project is much better than the moon landing plan."

Chen Guohua had no choice but to say, put it off for a while, don't rush it.

"Okay, let's talk about the second thing now. The PHS product has been sold like crazy in the three major markets of Europe, Tokyo and North America. I regret it."

Chen Guohua almost laughed out loud when he heard what the other party said.

"Boss, you were very satisfied with my plan before and said that we made a lot of money this time."

Previously, China Resources Corporation earned more than 300 billion U.S. dollars from those big capitalists and agents, which is an extremely huge number.

As a result, Qiu Zongyue now regrets it?

Even if I regret it, so what?
What's more, in September, big capitalists and agents such as Clive and Akio Morita spent a lot of money to win the agency rights.

China Resources has already made the most lucrative part of its profits, and is content.

When Qiu Zongyue heard this, he said with emotion:

"You don't know, Great Britain, Gallic Chicken, Italy and other regions have already been sold. So far, 27 million PHS units have been sold in Europe alone."

"Among them, consumers who choose annual communication services account for 18 million, and this revenue is more than 18 billion US dollars."

"If we then calculate the profit of PHS itself, it is 2.7 billion U.S. dollars, and other monthly subscription revenue, plus one dollar, it will exceed 21 billion U.S. dollars."

"And this data will continue to grow. Tell me, does it only take four or five years for them to recover the cost? It doesn't even take four or five years."

After taking a sip of water, Qiu Zongyue continued:

"In the Tokyo market, 10 million PHS units have been sold so far, and half of them have chosen annual communication services."

"Not to mention the North American market. In just half a month, 25 million PHS units have been sold, and more than 20 million consumers have chosen annual communication services. This data Far better than Europe and Tokyo”

Hearing this, Chen Guohua also looked surprised.

No wonder Qiu Zongyue said he regretted it, and even Chen Guohua himself also regretted it.

However, white glove companies have not yet emerged and cannot shoulder the corresponding heavy responsibilities.

So this part of the profit is really made by the big capital of this family.

Just like Sony's Akio Morita, he's awesome enough, right?

However, under the threat of big capital like the Morgan consortium, didn't they give away 72% of the profits?

It won't work if we don't separate. Sony has won the North American agency rights. If it wants to do business here, it will definitely not be able to do without the support of the North American consortium.

Otherwise, as long as these consortiums have some evil ideas, Sony will not be able to develop well.

"The North American market is really huge, and the consumption potential is really unfathomable."

Chen Guohua sighed with emotion.

Twenty million people have chosen annual communication services, which means that the revenue from this part alone has reached 20 billion US dollars.

The annual communication service fee in North America is the same as that in Great Britain, which is US$999 per year.

It recovered 20 billion US dollars in one year, and this was only the revenue achieved in half a month. It was terrifying to the extreme.

It can only be said that the enthusiasm and persistence of people in this era for mobile communications are beyond the imagination of many people.

Of course, this is because Chen Guohua introduced the pager product too early. As a result, many consumers have become accustomed to the bombardment of SMS services and the annual service fee.

After all, communication costs are indeed expensive, and there is nothing wrong with that.

If you want to buy services, that's all.

"Yeah, that's why I said I regret it. This part of the profit is really huge. I think we were too hasty before."

Qiu Zongyue's face was a little ugly, looking like he was deeply regretful.

Chen Guohua smiled and said:
"Leader, if China Resources goes to North America, Europe and other places to build base stations in person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recoup this part of the investment."

Asset-heavy enterprises are prone to trouble.

Especially for this capricious bastard in North America, Chen Guohua has no trust in him at all.

If China Resources dares to invest too much in North America and other places, it will suffer heavy losses if something goes wrong.

"Oh, do we deserve that they take all this money away? This is our own money." Qiu Zongyue was still very unwilling to hear this.

"For the time being, we can only wait for our white-glove companies to rise, and then we can think of ways to do it. Anyway, now they are making money, and we haven't lost too much. Moreover, we are still very safe, and we don't have to worry about others suddenly flipping the table. , resulting in us having no countermeasures at all.”

Chen Guohua didn't like things that were too passive.

Therefore, he would rather earn less to ensure his own safety.

"Okay, the third thing is about Costco Supermarket."

Costco Supermarket was just established in October, but within a short period of time, it opened five more stores. Coupled with the Christmas promotion period, Costco Supermarket’s revenue data directly exploded, and it quickly aroused North American capital takes note.

Just because Costco Supermarket is so stable.

There are a total of six supermarkets, and each supermarket store can attract 150,000 members soon after opening.

Especially the main store in Los Angeles, which opened in October, currently has more than 300,000 members, which shocked many people.

As of now, the total members of Costco’s six stores have exceeded one million.

Not to mention anything else, Costco Supermarket has already earned US$200 million from membership fees alone.

In terms of revenue, during the Christmas promotion season in December, each store's daily revenue exceeded 2.2 million US dollars, which is still very scary.

As a result, the average daily revenue of the entire Costco supermarket exceeds 1.5 million US dollars.

So, December is not over yet, but monthly revenue has already reached 270 million US dollars.

Adding in the annual membership fee of US$200 million, the total revenue is US$470 million.

However, Costco Supermarket's profit margin is as high as 12%, which means that in December, Costco Supermarket earned US$32.4 million.

The annual membership fee is pure profit, there is nothing to say about it.

Therefore, such a terrifying Costco supermarket directly attracted the attention of the Dali Sandro family of the California consortium.

The people in this family are very domineering. They have set their sights on Costco Supermarket. As a result, it is quite difficult to overcome this difficulty.

"They shouldn't be the only ones, right?"

Chen Guohua asked thoughtfully, Qiu Zongyue nodded and said:
"In addition to the Dalesandro family of the California consortium, there are also the Brugger family of Great Britain, the McCormick family of the Chicago consortium, and Chase Manhattan Bank, etc."

"What it means is that this time, we can arrange for other white-glove companies to cross-shareholding with each other."

After hearing this, Chen Guohua remained silent.

This time, Costco Supermarket's performance was too impressive, mainly because its profitability was too high, which made many people jealous.

A profit rate of 12% is nothing, but its revenue in December was US$270 million.

The revenue base is large, and even though the profit rate is only 12%, it is scary enough.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Guohua suggested:
"Leader, my suggestion is to increase the quotation, start the loan process at the same time, and speed up the construction of new stores."

"The debt ratio is too high, I'm afraid it's not suitable?"

Qiu Zongyue asked worriedly after hearing this.

Chen Guohua shook his head and continued:

"Now if we introduce other white glove companies, I'm afraid it will easily cause public outrage and even expose the target."

"And it is impossible for us to introduce new shareholders at this time, so increasing the debt ratio will definitely scare away some consortiums, and at the same time, it can also satisfy some consortiums."

The loan itself already shows a certain attitude, but Costco Supermarket does not want to be invested in shares yet, so the loan is a step forward for other consortiums.

At present, it is only open to six supermarket stores. No one can tell what the future will be like.

Therefore, if we speed up the pace of development, build more stores, and support this wave, then we can launch the first round of financing without having to sell too many shares, and we can introduce strong allies.

When the time comes, it will be up to Costco Supermarket to decide which consortium to choose.

Chen Guohua is not too worried about Costco's sudden expansion too fast, management failure to keep up, or other problems.

There are still a lot of talents in the continent of North America, not to mention that this is a white glove enterprise. Chen Guohua has been paying attention to its development direction and promoting the development of the supermarket throughout the whole process.

Therefore, as long as the executor's ability is not too bad, the overall development of the supermarket will not be bad.

The matter of allies is simple to say, as long as Costco Supermarket itself performs well enough, why worry about not having allies?

It is not that easy for other jealous monsters to rob Costco Supermarket.

Therefore, the matter itself is very simple and does not require much thinking.

"Well, this method is quite good. The only trouble is that there are too many new stores and the pace is too fast, so things can easily go wrong."

Qiu Zongyue paused and then said:

"Guohua, do you have any other solutions to this problem?"

"What can be done? Just take it one step at a time and find a way to solve it when you encounter problems. There is no need to worry so much."

Chen Guohua spread his hands and said:
"There are so many talents in North America that there will be no shortage of real management talents. If we recruit people with high salaries, are we still worried that there will be no one?"

"As long as there are no accidents in the general direction and the implementation is in place, the rest is just copy and paste, and the possibility of problems is not very high."

To be honest, Chen Guohua is also worried, but worrying about these things has no benefit except internal friction.

The incident at Kaishike Supermarket ended like this. After Qiu Zongyue finished talking, he left first.

Two days later, a paper capping the Riemann Hypothesis appeared in the hands of Erdez, Grothendieck, Atiyah, Borsuk, Paul Cohen and others.

A paper that proves the Riemann Hypothesis. This is such an awesome paper, and it is Chen Guohua, a global mathematician, so the possibility of it being proved will be infinite.

The Riemann hypothesis was proposed by Bernhard Riemann, an academician of the Berlin Academy of Sciences, in 1859. It is a conjecture about the zero-point distribution of the Riemann zeta function ζ(s).

This means that the Riemann Hypothesis, a top-level mathematical problem, has troubled the global mathematics community for a century.

Although Chen Guohua has not been able to solve this mathematical problem for a century, he has successively proved the previous small problems and then the zero-point conjecture in these years.

Now it is even more powerful, directly capping the Riemann hypothesis.

This news is very important news for the global mathematics community.

For a moment, after everyone received the paper, they were overjoyed and soon fell into an eerie silence.

Just because this paper is so important, and everyone also needs to contact the previous stage paper written by Chen Guohua, as well as the previous paper on the third small issue that Erdesh verified, all papers must be linked together for review and confirmation.

As one of the top mathematical problems in the world, the importance of the Riemann hypothesis to the mathematical community is self-evident.

It is normal for everyone to be so serious and responsible.

Even if it takes half a year to carefully review these papers, it is normal.

After Erdesh and others reviewed it, they found no problems, so they immediately asked the mathematics journal to publish it.

As a result, this paper can be seen by the global mathematics community.

Because of Chen Guohua's paper, the mathematics community was in a state of excitement for a while, and then quickly fell into a strange calm.

North America, Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Chen Shengshen and others were called here to carefully study and review Chen Guohua's paper.

Hassler Whitney, Andre Weil, Kurt Gödel and others are all here. Even Zhou Weiliang, who doesn't like to attend meetings and has always been very unsociable, has to show up at Princeton.

"China Chen is so awesome. I really don't know how his head grew and why he is so awesome."

"God, you Chinese people are so smart. I just can't understand. Your country obviously didn't do a good job in providing you with a better education before, but you, China Chen, Chen Shengshen, and Zhou Weiliang, you are the most powerful in mathematics. people."

"It's hard to imagine how China Chen did it. Anyway, I didn't find any problems in these papers. Even if I review them carefully, the results will be the same." In the office of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, every half month, Chen Shengshen , Hassler Whitney, Andre Weil and others will meet once to discuss the results of their respective reviews.

As a result, everyone was more amazed than anything else.

As for finding flaws in the paper, it is almost impossible.

This is simply because the paper written by Chen Guohua has unprecedented rigorous logic, and all calculations and inference processes are impeccable.

Let alone finding flaws, that's impossible.

While the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton was busy reviewing the paper, Moscow mathematician Shafarevich rushed directly to the capital and personally blocked Chen Guohua at the Institute of Advanced Science in Beijing.

"Chen, I hope you can hold a report meeting to explain the mathematical tool about the pole factorial function that you proposed in your last capstone paper. I feel that this mathematical tool is very important and may promote the development of mathematics."

Hearing Shafarevich's words, Chen Guohua couldn't help but sigh with emotion. There are still many smart people in this world.

Regarding this mathematical tool, he actually did not go into great detail in the paper, but only included it as a tool for analyzing the entire complex plane outside the poles.

Originally, he thought no one would notice its extraordinary qualities.

Unexpectedly, Shafarevich had already figured it out after only a short time, and even came to the capital in person to beg him to hold a report meeting.

"Shafarevich, regarding the report meeting, don't rush now. Let's wait until everyone has finished reviewing the papers."

Chen Guohua shook his head. He was not so excited because of the compliment.

"Okay, then I will stay in the capital and wait for your good news."

"Then we welcome you very much"

Of course Chen Guohua was very happy to hear that the other party was willing to stay.

As a top mathematician in Moscow, Shafarevich has made very high contributions in algebra, algebraic geometry and algebraic number theory.

In 1954, he proved that on any algebraic number field there exist an infinite number of pre-given algebraic extensions of the decomposition of the Galois group, the so-called inverse problem of Galois theory. He discovered the duality general rules of the problem.

Four years ago, in 1962, he proposed the so-called Shafarevich conjecture.

This person's status in mathematics is even greater than that of Chen Shengshen, similar to Lebesgue in Gaul and Alexandrov in Moscow, and much better than Markov, Hassler, Whitney, etc.

Erdesh, Grothendieck and others heard that Shafarevich was going to stay in the capital, and they all welcomed him and were happy.

The more mathematicians there are in the capital, it’s a good thing for everyone.

Similar to the paper written by Chen Guohua, everyone can discuss it together. Only in this way can everyone make faster progress.

Mathematics is a tool for studying the universe and the foundation of all disciplines. If you want to study it, you don't have to do it behind closed doors, unless you are God.

But in the world of mathematics, how many gods can there be?

Historically, top mathematical celebrities such as Leibniz, Newton, Born and Riemann, John Gauss, Euler, and Poincaré were not all gods. They also had mathematical problems that they could not solve.

For example, Poincaré was known as the last great mathematician of the 19th century, but he was at a loss when it came to mathematical problems such as the Poincaré Hypothesis, Riemann Hypothesis, and Fermat's Last Theorem.

On the contrary, Chen Guohua is the person most likely to become the God of mathematics.

Just because Chen Guohua is too young, he is only twenty-five years old this year. No, it is six or seven years now, so he is twenty-six years old.

But even at twenty-six years old, he is still very young.

You must know that many people's top achievements in mathematics in history were basically completed before the age of forty.

The so-called late bloomers generally do not exceed the age of forty.

There are very few mathematicians like Lu Jiaxi who have a global perspective.

Just when Shafarevich entered the Beijing Institute of Advanced Science, many foreign mathematicians had already gathered on Hong Kong Island.

They all applied to China Resources Corporation and other units to go to the capital.

Song Xuexian felt very strange and didn't understand why so many experts and professors in mathematics wanted to go to the capital.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand. After reporting it, the people above will definitely understand.

Entering the first month of 1967, this is the beginning of a new era.

Throughout the entire sixty-six years, in fact, not many things happened that Chen Guohua felt regretful about. The only thing that made him very unhappy was the suicide of Zhao Jiuzhang.

Sure enough, everything has become extremely different.

The weather is extremely cold in North America in January.

The mountains of the North American continent run north to south, so the big cold waves in winter push across from north to south.

This cold wave is blowing from the North Pole, rushing all the way across Los Angeles.

It had become very cold outside, and Zheng Zhigui, president of Chase Manhattan Bank and Costco Supermarket in downtown Los Angeles, came here and submitted loan materials in accordance with formal procedures.

The news soon reached David Rockefeller.

"Are you sure you are the president of Costco Supermarket?"

David Rockefeller, who was far away at Chase's Manhattan headquarters in New York, said to the other end of the phone in a serious tone.

Seriously, this is a Costco supermarket. Aren’t they very rich? Why do you need a loan?

No matter how bad it is, so many people want to invest in their company, why are they unwilling to accept investment?

"Yes, Mr. Rockefeller, we are very sure that is Zheng Zhigui, the president of Costco."

"Okay, tell the other party that I will go to their company in person tomorrow morning to assist them in handling this loan."

Os, the person in charge on the other end of the phone, was shocked when he heard David Rockefeller's words.

He did not expect that David Rockefeller, the president of the headquarters, would pay so much attention to the president of Costco Supermarket. It was really surprising.

The next day, Zheng Zhigui met David Rockefeller in his office.

To be honest, Zheng Zhigui did not expect that people from the Rockefeller family would value him so much.

Although he was flattered, Zheng Zhigui also showed surprise and surprise appropriately, but he was very wary in his heart.

Sure enough, after some pleasantries, David Rockefeller proposed to give Costco Supermarket more loans.

A loan of US$350 million with very low interest rates!

This kindness is like pie in the sky.

However, Zheng Zhigui still declined politely.

There is no problem in accepting the other party's kindness, but this kind of kindness is obviously not just a simple kindness, but a bit of poisonous candy.

David Rockefeller, who was rejected, felt even more desperate.

He just wanted to make good use of this opportunity and build a good relationship with Zheng Zhigui so that he could get Zheng Zhigui's friendship and help when he raises money next time.

After some refusal, Zheng Zhigui said that he would submit the loan amount of the other party to the board of directors, and it would be decided by the board of directors at that time.

"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Zheng, and I wish us a happy cooperation."

David Rockefeller was very accommodating to the other party's wishes and did not continue to entangle the matter.

In the capital, Chen Guohua soon learned of the goodwill of Chase Manhattan Bank.

According to Chen Guohua's intention, that is to accept the other party's good intention. Anyway, it is only a loan of 350 million US dollars. According to Costco Supermarket's profit rate, it will be possible to earn this money in less than a year.

With US$350 million, it is possible to accelerate the development of Costco Supermarket.

After discussion, leaders like Qiu Zongyue also agreed with Chen Guohua's suggestion. So after Zheng Zhigui received the news from the capital, he quickly completed the loan with David Rockefeller.

Since the mainland successfully launched three geostationary satellites, a global communication system has been established, making communication with white-glove business managers very convenient.

Rather than saying that people like Zheng Zhigui and Chen Yuanchao are running and managing these white-glove companies, it is better to say that Chen Guohua directly controls these companies.

After all, whether it is Kaishike Supermarket, Qianduoduo Supermarket, or other enterprises, they were almost all planned and established step by step under Chen Guohua's plan.

Of course, Zheng Zhigui and his colleagues also played a great role and contribution.

Just after Zheng Zhigui and David Rockefeller completed the loan and successfully obtained the money, they began to expand on a large scale.

When Paul D'Alessandro learned about this, he was immediately furious.

"Farke, Farke, this bastard Rockefeller, why don't they die? This is Los Angeles, not New York, why do they dare to do this?"

Crossed the line!
Rockefeller's base camp was not in Los Angeles at all, but they wanted to reach out and they successfully captured it.

Since Chase Manhattan Bank can provide loans to Costco Supermarket, it means that it is possible to invest in this supermarket and become a shareholder of this supermarket in the future.

And what is Chase Manhattan Bank?
It is currently the largest lending bank in North America. Its trust, savings, checking and other businesses are all ranked among the top banks in the United States. Behind it is the financial backbone of the Rockefeller Group and the Morgan Group. It can be said that it is very powerful. of enterprises.

But even so, we shouldn't reach out to California. It's too abominable.

Paul D'Alessandro was angry, but he didn't know whether to fight David Rockefeller.

Although the Dali Sandro family is very powerful, they are still a rising star, and most of their resources are in California politics. In the field of business and finance, they are weak.

However, after discussing with others, we decided to teach Chase Manhattan Bank a lesson. After all, this bank also has many branches in California.

In addition, Zheng Zhigui was also warned by Paul Dallisandro.

Regarding the family's warning, Chen Guohua said there was no problem after learning the news.

A warning is a warning, spend some money to find this family's sworn enemy and find something for him to keep busy.

Otherwise, the other party will definitely hold on to you and keep causing trouble, which will be uncomfortable.

To drive away wolves and swallow tigers, you need to pay attention to strategies. With Zheng Zhigui's wisdom, it is impossible to do this poorly.

On Di'anmen Street, in the Yamen office, a meeting was being held.

The mathematical world has calmed down, civil aircraft engines are still being tested in wind tunnel laboratories, and the white-glove company managed by Chen Yuanchao and his colleagues is still developing steadily.

Whether at home or abroad, the current situation is relatively calm.

The only trouble is the meeting currently taking place.

"Dear leaders and comrades, we must first clarify what is the purpose of developing aerospace technology?"

"If we are just competing with Moscow and Washington, I think it is unnecessary."

Chen Guohua at the conference table spoke impassionedly, not very excitedly, but very loudly.

"The moon is a very good place. If we have the opportunity, we can definitely carry out large-scale development of the moon. Not to mention establishing a survival base on the moon, such as building a large particle collider there, for us humans It’s also a very good thing”

"But in today's international society, it is still very, very difficult to talk about cooperation. Anyway, I think it will be almost impossible in a short time!"

"So at this stage, developing aerospace technology, for our country, is not just about showing off our scientific research strength, but more about developing our own technology."

"The space station is only in the future, and the moon is still too far away for us. Our economy cannot support us from launching rockets all the time. Even if we can develop low-cost launch vehicle technology, it will still require a lot of financial, manpower and material resources. In the long run, it will be harmful to us."

"So, the space station is the best choice. We can send astronauts to the sky and let them conduct scientific research activities on the space station for three months, half a year, one year, or even longer."

"Only in this way, we can gradually improve our aerospace technology hard power, which is much better than sending astronauts to the moon in a short period of time."

"If the moon landing plan is a pursuit of fame, then the space station plan is a real benefit, which is very beneficial to us."

Chen Guohua's words were so shocking that everyone in the conference room fell silent.

The silence was deafening.

It is undeniable that what Chen Guohua said is very reasonable.

But things in the international community, even if it is a false reputation, cannot be ignored.

So would Chen Guohua not know these things?

Of course he knew, so when faced with the leader's question, Chen Guohua also asked:
"The Apollo moon landing program started in 1961, and Moscow's moon orbiting program started in 1959. Leader, tell me, if we catch up with them now, can we catch up?"

"On the contrary, if we launch the space station plan now, we can seize the opportunity and complete this aspect of aerospace technology earlier than Moscow and Washington."

"Secondly, our pockets are not as good as those of Moscow and Washington."

At this time, the leader suddenly asked again:
"You keep saying that we have no money. Isn't it enough that China Resources earns hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign exchange every year? Or do you think our country's aerospace technology is inferior to Moscow and Washington?"

Regarding this question, Chen Guohua was really speechless.

Everyone here knows exactly how the money earned by China Resources will be distributed in the end.

Can I move this money?
You can move a hammer!

For example, of the more than 300 billion U.S. dollars earned in September, less than 20 billion U.S. dollars were finally allocated to aerospace.

Two hundred dollars may seem like a lot, but it’s actually not much.

For example, the Apollo moon landing program invested US$25.5 billion, and IBM also participated in this project and invested US$5 billion.

At the same time, many other companies have also invested a lot of money, which exceeds the figure of 25.5 billion US dollars.

If we count the investments of other companies involved in the Apollo moon landing project, then the overall project funds will definitely exceed 100 billion US dollars.

But what about the mainland?

How could it be possible to spend hundreds of billions of dollars investing in a moon landing project?

And there are no private companies here in the mainland, so it is impossible for many powerful private companies to participate and share part of the investment like in North America.

Based on this, the moon landing project itself cannot make money or gain fame, so why are we still so obsessed with this project?

"But now Moscow and Washington are working towards this goal, but we are doing the opposite. Isn't it a bit overconfident?"

At this time, Sun Jiadong also raised his doubts.

This doubt was also unanimously agreed by Yang Jiaqi and Lu Yuanjiu, simply because they all understood one thing, that is, the strength of Moscow and Washington in aerospace technology was convincing enough.

Faced with this question, Chen Guohua immediately said:

"This is not conceited or anything else, but a reflection based on the actual situation, because our family has a small financial base and cannot spend as much as they do in Moscow and Washington."

"I have told you the pros and cons between the space station project and the moon landing plan, and their role for us is also very clear."

"Based on this reality, you still firmly believe that the moon landing plan is more suitable for us. This can only be said to be a stupid choice."

"If you really want to do this, then I will definitely withdraw from this moon landing project and will no longer provide any technical support."

"This is not a threat, but I hope to keep a spark of fire for our mainland aerospace industry."

"And I dare to say that within five years, whether it is Moscow or Washington, they will definitely switch to the space station project instead of continuing to work on the moon landing plan, just because our current earth technology is simply unable to develop the moon. .”

"On the contrary, the space station project will benefit us more."

At this point, it is very clear. If they are still unable to wake up and still firmly believe that the moon landing plan is the most suitable project for the mainland, then Chen Guohua really has nothing to say.

There are many smart people in this world, but everyone is a player in the game, and the choice they make has already been determined.
