Reborn: Billionaire in College

Master Ma, or Minister Ma and his SpaceX have become extremely famous in later generations. It is certainly an exaggeration to say that all 70 billion people in the world know him, but it is probably reasonable to say that one-third of them know him.

Even in China, Minister Ma has a large number of fans who have established the Church of Scientology and worship him.

Every time SpaceX makes a move, some of the country's remotely farmed large breeders will go crazy.

From Chen Pingjiang's perspective, Minister Ma's life is legendary. Even from his current perspective, he is a rare talent.

At least he dared to think and act, although Chen Pingjiang did not like his big mouth and bragging.

Although the Mars immigration plan has been delayed again and again, falling into a vicious circle of being postponed again next year, no one can deny that SpaceX is capable.

Even with NASA's full cooperation, as a private company, it not only successfully tested the cargo-type "Dragon" spacecraft and docked with the International Space Station, opening a new era of private spaceflight, but also achieved the return of the first stage of the rocket to the ground or the mobile recovery platform at sea, and the fairing can also be recovered by the mobile recovery platform at sea, which is amazing.

What's more, there is the world's largest launch vehicle, Falcon 9, and the Starlink project.

How could Chen Pingjiang, who had already achieved great success and lived his life over again, give up the aerospace industry? He also didn't want to let Minister Ma take all the credit.

The reason why Chen Pingjiang has not launched the space project yet is that some domestic policies and regulations are not yet perfect.

To this end, Chen Pingjiang is also trying to find ways to push forward from multiple sides in an effort to implement the policy as soon as possible and create a new path forward.

Not only has he hyped up SpaceX's launch project through the multiple social media platforms he controls, he has also privately visited leaders of multiple ministries.

"It's just that time is running out. SpaceX has already gone too far, and I don't know if we can catch up."

This was the first time that Chen Pingjiang lacked confidence.

First of all, SpaceX was founded in 2002, 12 years ago. And with the support of NASA, in addition to the contract, it also obtained the latter's technology, personnel, and funds.

Secondly, the Dragon spacecraft has successfully docked with the International Space Station and has taken on the mission of transporting cargo to the International Space Station.

Last year, SpaceX snatched the launch mission of Turkmenistan's first artificial satellite from China and successfully carried out its first vertical take-off and vertical landing experiment. The experimental rocket landed accurately on the launch pad after flying 744 meters, marking the first time that humans have created a reusable rocket.

It is said that the other party will conduct its second reusable rocket flight experiment next month.

Chen Pingjiang and Musk have never met, but the two interact frequently on Twitter.

This may be due to the fact that the companies under the two men's names have been shorted many times, which has led to a certain sympathy between them.

In addition, Minister Ma felt that Chen Pingjiang had many similarities with him.

such as……

They are all so young, so rich, and all focus on high technology and seek to change the world.

Sometimes, as soon as Chen Pingjiang posted a tweet, Musk would comment and retweet it.

Musk even vowed in a tweet: "I think Chen is the only business talent in the world who deserves my respect." Such a slightly corny statement. At the end of April, Chen Pingjiang finally got the good news after waiting for so long.

GWY issued Document No. 60, which clearly stated that private capital is encouraged to develop, launch and operate commercial remote sensing satellites and provide market-oriented and professional services.

"The operation is still useful. It is half a year ahead of schedule." After reading the entire document, Chen Pingjiang called his secretary Xu Rui with a smile and asked him to book a flight to Beijing the next day.

The two sisters Yin Hui and Yin Zhen have been kept as concubines by Chen Pingjiang in the East China Sea.

Now that their relationship is unusual, Chen Pingjiang doesn't want them to continue to show up in public, either from a safety perspective or to avoid suspicion.

Chen Pingjiang would feel awkward if the two sisters really had to accompany him on the flight, and he would feel even more uncomfortable watching the two sisters serving other accompanying personnel.

Yin Hui and Yin Zhen had no objection to this.

Not to mention that the most important thing for them now is to listen to Chen Pingjiang. Even if they themselves have tasted the life of luxury, they would no longer be willing to work as waiters in public.

They have luxury cars and mansions, and in order to prevent the two sisters from getting bored, they also opened a flower shop for Yin Hui.

Sister Yin Zhen had a dream of becoming a star, and Chen Pingjiang used his personal connections to get her a small role.

Benefits were given, but there were also many requirements, the most important of which was that no information about the relationship between the two people could be revealed to the outside world.

After arriving in Beijing, Chen Pingjiang went to visit the leader.

"Many comrades attach great importance to your proposals at the two sessions, especially after SpaceX came to prominence. There are some things that the state is restricted in doing, but you private capital does not have these concerns."

"Of course, there were voices of opposition. Many comrades believed that this was a national treasure and that it not only had safety risks but also the risk of leaks. However, after many discussions, everyone unanimously agreed to the idea of ​​introducing private capital."

"But I'm afraid we can't provide you with orders, talent or technology transfer like the Americans do. Don't even think about it. This is the bottom line."

Chen Pingjiang chuckled and nodded: "No problem, leader, as long as you can open a way for us to come in, it's already very good."

For him, he didn't expect more, after all, the national conditions of the two countries are different.

The arms companies are all private consortiums.

Seeing that Chen Pingjiang was reasonable, the other party also smiled and said, "To be honest, we old guys are also shocked that a private enterprise can send a 5000-ton giant with a payload of 200 tons into space. Both the weight and payload are far beyond the most powerful rockets in the history of the United States and the Soviet Union. The most amazing thing is that the price of sending it to space has been completely reduced. We can't understand it, and we don't even dare to think about it. If we don't seek change, we will be left behind and spanked."

The old man was right.

Space X's official website charges only $6000 for sending one kilogram into space, while the starting price for the Long March is 8 yuan, which is half the price of China. How can they snatch orders from them?
"In any case, keep going. Fortunately, we have confidence in you. After all, you are rich. The national treasury can't help you in any way."

Chen Pingjiang smiled and patted his chest: "I don't plan to eat the national treasury, but to make money from the market by providing cheap aerospace services to enterprises and individuals. I also hope to become a catfish and activate the vitality of the aerospace field."

"Now, space practitioners in various countries are just resting on their laurels and packaging space propaganda as an extremely mysterious high-tech. In the future, space will be like the standardized automobile industry, more like standardized products produced on factory assembly lines. The mystery is only because the practitioners are not enterprising and have no ability to open up a low-cost route in the evolution of rockets. I, Chen Pingjiang, am willing to be a leader and contribute my own strength." (End of this chapter)
