Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 554 SpaceX
In the Shishahai Courtyard, Jiang Hui came home from get off work at seven o'clock on a rare occasion, and sat in the living room watching the news while Bai Xue was peeling fruit.

"At 8:53 this morning, our country used the 'Long March [-]A' carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center to successfully send the 'Fengyun-[-]' D weather satellite into the predetermined orbit. The 'Fengyun-[-]' D weather satellite can monitor The earth conducts continuous meteorological monitoring, obtains daytime visible light cloud maps, day and night infrared cloud maps, and water vapor distribution maps of the earth's space environment; collects and forwards observation data such as meteorology, oceanography, and hydrology; monitors solar X-ray and space particle radiation data, etc... "

In the news broadcast, the host talked about today's important news.

"Satellite launch" and "carrier rocket", these words entered Jiang Hui's ears, and Jiang Hui suddenly thought of a company, a company that is not well-known now but will become famous more than ten years later, that is Elon Musk. The American Space Exploration Technology Corporation, also known as SpaceX.

In 2002, Elon Musk, an early investor in PayPal, established the company. In the first few years, the development speed was not obvious.But this past August, SpaceX was awarded a contract by NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services, proving that SpaceX could be an option for delivering cargo to the International Space Station.

However, the first launch of Falcon 3 failed in March this year, and continued to fail in March next year. In August 1, the third launch failed, which almost caused SpaceX to go bankrupt.

However, the fourth launch in September 2008 was finally successful, and SpaceX has since embarked on a broad road.

At the time of Jiang Hui's rebirth, SpaceX was already a super unicorn company with a valuation of more than 500 billion US dollars. It not only launched satellites many times, but also successfully launched a recyclable rocket, which shocked the international aerospace industry.

Such a unicorn company is definitely not to be missed.

"Xiaoxue, do you think it is possible for us to live on the moon in our lifetime? Or even on Mars?" Jiang Hui was thinking about SpaceX and chatting with Bai Xue.

"It's difficult, isn't it? You didn't see the news about the rocket launch just now, so you thought about taking a rocket to the moon in the future, right?" Bai Xue said while peeling an orange and stuffing it into Jiang Hui's mouth.

"Why can't we take a rocket to the moon? Armstrong landed on the moon more than 30 years ago. In two to three decades, it is not impossible for a small group of ordinary people to go to the moon?"

"In the absence of major breakthroughs in technology, the risk and cost of landing on the moon are too high. China has not yet mastered the relevant technology."

"There is a private space exploration technology company in the United States. I plan to invest in it and promote the advancement of technology. Armstrong said: "One small step for me, one giant leap for mankind. I hope to see the true one in my lifetime." Great strides," Jiang Hui said.

"Ah? Aren't these projects being carried out by the governments of various countries? How can private individuals handle them?".

"In China, individuals are currently not allowed to enter this industry, but some foreign countries have no such restrictions. The company I am planning to invest in has already launched a rocket that I have researched this year."

"Ah? There really is someone who successfully launched a rocket."

"This year's launch failed, but because of the launch failure, we have the opportunity to enter."

The past few years of SpaceX's successive launch failures are the best time to invest in shares.In particular, Jiang Hui is a man of the Celestial Dynasty. When no one is optimistic about SpaceX, he still has the opportunity to invest in shares. When the situation improves in the future, you will not receive money from others.

At that time, the U.S. government will not allow a high-tech enterprise such as SpaceX, which can be used for both military and civilian purposes, to have a large number of Chinese shares.

Even now, Jiang Hui feels that it is impossible for him to get more than [-]% of the shares. Considering that Jiang Hui may be excluded from financing in the future, Jiang Hui may not even be able to keep [-]% of the shares in the end.

Jiang Hui's bottom line is that at least after the listing of SpaceX, he must hold more than ten points of shares, so that he has a certain right to speak.

"Then you figure it out, I don't know much about these things. Ah ~ Wangcai, don't lick my feet."

When Jiang Hui and Bai Xue were staying in the living room, the two little Tibetan mastiffs, Wangcai and Jinmao, also ran over to show their hospitality.

These two little guys are becoming more and more active now. Every time Jiang Hui just entered the gate, they rushed over.

"Well, in the past two days, I will contact the person in charge of Twitter to see if they can talk to Elon Musk. Let's contact for a while, and then look for opportunities to invest in shares next year."

The reason why Jiang Hui set the investment time next year is mainly because he wants to invest in SpaceX when it is more difficult.They have just experienced a launch failure this year. Although their confidence has been hit to a certain extent, a failure can't explain anything after all.When the launch fails again in March next year, it is estimated that both employees and potential investors will re-examine the project.

If Jiang Hui offered an olive branch at this time, Elon Musk is unlikely to refuse. Of course, the premise is that Jiang Hui's request should not be too excessive.

Some people may ask, why not wait for the third launch failure in 2008, and take a stake in SpaceX at the most difficult time?

This is the same as buying stocks. You should start when you think it is almost the bottom. It is impossible to enter just at the bottom.

The most difficult time for SpaceX was August 2008, but after the successful launch in September 8, the situation quickly improved.In such a short month, Jiang Hui may not have time to enter the arena.Therefore, Jiang Hui is going to invest in SpaceX when it is at a low point, but it has not yet been the worst time, and then we will go through the most difficult period together.

The friendship of sharing weal and woe will often be deeper. Jiang Hui's investment in SpaceX will definitely encounter various non-economic problems in the future. If he can have a better personal relationship with Elon Musk, he should be able to face it more calmly. For all kinds of difficulties encountered in the future.

In addition to SpaceX, Jiang Hui is also planning to invest in some forward-looking projects around the world.For example, brain wave research, cancer research and other projects that do not see benefits in the short term, but have huge potential in the long run.

Although Jiang Hui hopes that the Guanghui Research Institute can become the largest private research institute in China, researching various advanced technologies, but the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.

No matter how powerful the Guanghui Group is, it is impossible to support all kinds of research.Especially for some basic research, it is basically difficult to produce results, and even if the results are achieved, it is difficult to obtain economic benefits. No matter how much money is invested in this kind of research, it is not too much.

The Guanghui Research Institute can only do what it can, and more needs to make full use of research results from around the world.

After all, standing on the shoulders of giants makes it easier to succeed!
