Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

In Xu Huasheng's office, Salman was slightly disappointed when he heard Xu Huasheng's words.

It turns out that some things cannot be done even if you have money. Some projects, no one will let you participate in them even if you have money.

Looking at Salman's slightly disappointed look, Xu Huasheng smiled mysteriously.

"Your Highness, are you interested in playing a big game?"

As soon as Xu Huasheng said this, Salman looked at Xu Huasheng curiously, with expectation in his eyes. Every time Xu Huasheng said he would play a big game, the project he played was very big.

"You can't participate in the national project, but our Space Exploration Company can start a super project. Who says that only the country can build a space station? We private enterprises can do it too. Our Space Exploration Company is playing with space projects. We build a space station ourselves, develop spacecraft and launch vehicles ourselves. When we have a space station, we will send ordinary people to the space station for tourism, and charge admission tickets. Then His Royal Highness may have the opportunity to go to space..."

When Xu Huasheng said this, Salman's eyes widened.

Damn, a civilian space station, is this something that private enterprises dare to think about? This thing is too high-tech. The United States has to cooperate with so many countries to build it. Space Exploration Company has only this little technology. Can it work?

"Technically, we have technical reserves here. In fact, the space station we are going to build is different from the space station built by the country. The national space station needs to build various experimental cabins and arrange various experimental equipment, so the technology is more complicated. But the space station we are building is different. What we are going to build is just an air return hotel. As long as it can be in the air, can dock with the spacecraft, and can allow people to stay in it, it will be fine. Other technologies do not need to be considered..."

Xu Huasheng began to describe the entire plan.

This space station is a severely reduced space station. It does not need to conduct various complex experiments, which greatly simplifies the technology of the space station.

It is called a space station, but it is actually a space hotel, which is for people to travel.

For major countries such as China and the United States, such a space station is useless, and they will never build such a useless thing.

But for countries such as Saudi Arabia, they don't play with space technology. They just want to go to space to see it and show off.

Now Xu Huasheng's plan perfectly meets their conditions. Building a civilian space station can not only allow astronauts to go up, but even ordinary people can be sent up after a period of training.

For these wealthy dog ​​owners, money is not a problem at all. Even if the accommodation fee in space is 100 million US dollars a day, they can afford it. After all, going to space is not something else. How many people in this world can go to space?

"Xu, can you really send ordinary people to space?"

Salman looked at Xu Huasheng and asked in disbelief.

"It's not that ordinary people still have to undergo a certain process of training. But this training is not difficult, and most people can complete it. This space station is not too difficult. We only need to develop a cabin end, and the launch can be done by China..."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile.

This project is not a money-losing project, because Xu Huasheng has ready-made technology. All kinds of things can be purchased directly from the Chinese aerospace department.

Anyway, this space station cannot leak secrets, and this thing is completely controlled by China. It is equivalent to China building two space stations.

One is for the country to use, for experiments and work, and the other is a civilian version, which weakens these functions, retains the most basic functions, expands the space of the space station, and makes money.

In fact, in the original time and space, China played like this. In 2034, a private company in China successfully built such a space station.

The design life of this private space station is up to 30 years, and it is very large, and can accommodate up to 36 people in orbit at the same time.

In addition to the six technicians stationed in the space station, it can accommodate 30 tourists at the same time.

After these tourists enter the space station by spacecraft, they can experience space life here. Of course, this price is very expensive, and the annual cost is as high as 20 million US dollars.

But even so, many wealthy people around the world still go to experience it. The spacecraft and rockets used by China at that time were all recyclable and reused many times, and the operating cost was very low.

Calculated as the comprehensive cost of passengers per day, it is only 1 million US dollars.

This is equivalent to a hotel with a room fee of 2,000, but the cost of each room per day is only 100 yuan. Can this not make money?

Besides, this is a space station, and the room fee is very high.

With 30 people, the accommodation fee is 600 million US dollars a day, while the cost is only 30 million US dollars, and the profit is 570 million US dollars a day.

This cost is too scary. You should know that the construction of the entire space station at that time was only 30 billion US dollars. According to this income, the cost can be recovered in two months.

Now, if Xu Huasheng builds this space station by himself, he will spend less money. Because there is no need for any research and development, just build a space station directly.

But if you pull the dog big customer to build a space station together, it will be different.

For the same equipment, Xu Huasheng may purchase it by himself for 1 billion US dollars per set. But if you pull the dog big customer to invest together, the equipment purchased must be at least 10 billion US dollars per set.

This can also be regarded as a different way to inject funds into China's aerospace. The United States spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build the International Space Station, which can accommodate up to 13 people.

Now, it is not too much for the Space Exploration Company to build a space station that can accommodate 36 people. It will cost 100 billion US dollars.

Although 100 billion is a lot, it is enough to find more big players to contribute.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Libya, etc. And you can pull a bunch of younger brothers to invest. If ten countries are not enough, then twenty countries can be invested.

The rich contribute more, and the poor contribute less. Isn't the space station built?

After it is built, not only can everyone go up, but also sell tickets. These tickets are very tight. At that time, for these big players, it will be another network resource.

By that time, these rich people will have one more thing to play with.

It is not awesome to buy luxury cars and cruise ships, but it is awesome to get a ticket to the space station. For those rich people, are tens of millions of US dollars too much? Not much at all. Besides, in the later stage, you can launch preferential activities. Anyway, the launch cost is low, even if it is 2 million US dollars a day, you can make a lot of money.

As Xu Huasheng talked, Salman became more and more excited. He had been working with Xu Huasheng for so long, and Xu Huasheng had never cheated him.

Although sometimes doing business is shady, Salman knows that Xu Huasheng can definitely do what he said, otherwise Salman would come to Xu Huasheng.
