The entire outer space summit lasted for two days, while Jiang Chen spent a full week in Canberra. Half of the day was in a meeting, four days were talking about business, and two days were taking Aisha around Canberra to see the Australian customs.
However, there has been nothing to visit in the recent period, and many shops in Canberra have temporarily closed due to this high-level summit.
The harvest of this summit was quite amazing. It can even be said that in a certain sense, it was unexpected. Originally, he thought that such a harsh framework for cooperation should be proposed without completely seeing the profit point. Not many people should cooperate with him, but this is not the case.
The first one expressed willingness to cooperate with the Moro State. After all, it is the number one younger brother of the new country. However, Jiang Chen is very skeptical that Santos does not understand what the space elevator is. In addition, Malay, Thailand, New Zealand, Madagascar, ******, and some small African countries have accepted the cooperation framework proposed by Star Trade.
After a period of research, China and Russia have also expressed their willingness to accept the cooperation framework proposed by the Star Trade.
The representative of the Chinese State proposed to establish a microgravity laboratory for the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for the two-phase flow, microgravity combustion, vapor phase epitaxy, metal alloy nucleation and supercooling, etc. A total of 51 national research projects, the price of 1.57 billion Singapore dollars.
The conditions for constructing microgravity laboratories on the ground are quite difficult, and the United States has been trying to obstruct China's participation in the International Space Station project, making the microgravity experiment in China only find its way out on the surface. After all, the cost of maintaining a large space station alone is too It’s too expensive.
In order to simulate the gravity-free environment in the experiment, Huaguo's solution was to design a tall tower that simulates the microgravity environment through free fall. In the National Microgravity Laboratory established in 1995, the design of the 100-meter drop tower, in which the microgravity time of the cabin system can reach 3.5s, the microgravity time of the drop tube system is 3.26s, which has been worldwide. Belong to the top level.
This achievement is enough to be proud, but it is also very helpless, because everything is forced out.
After the summit, the first thing that the Chinese representative found Jiang Chen was to set up a microgravity laboratory on the Star City and offered a quote of S$1.07 billion. Converted into RMB, this is a huge sum of more than 7 billion yuan. But compared to the tens of billions of huge costs of building a space station alone, and the unimaginable maintenance costs, the money is nothing.
Since China is the first country to cooperate with the Star Ring to reach a space elevator, the cooperation document signed by the Chinese side with the microgravity laboratory has become the blueprint for negotiations with other parties.
Subsequently, Russia also reached an agreement with Xinghuan Trade to invest S$950 million to build a relatively small microgravity laboratory in the gravity-free section of Xinghuan City, which has replaced the original plan to augment the Russian space of the International Space Station.
However, the big part of the income is not the same. It really makes Jiang Chen earn a pot full of private companies that come to the door.
Formerly space is still an unattainable thing for ordinary people. If it is not a rich man, I am afraid that only the "selling deeds" signed by the Mars plan will be taken to the one-way spacecraft going to Mars to have the opportunity to realize his space dream.
But now, things seem to be turning.
Star Ring Trading announced the fare of the space elevator on the official website. The pre-tax base price of the adult fare is only 1,500 Singapore dollars! Converted into a soft sister coin is also in the early ten thousand, even cheaper than a ticket to Shanghai from Shanghai International Airport in the peak season!
It is crazy!
It seems that overnight, only the rich can afford to invest in more than 10 million space travel, and become an ordinary travel abroad that even ordinary people can afford.
After that, the second company that found Jiang Chen was not a space company. The business it operated was not related to aerospace, but a chain hotel.
Looking for Jiang Chen's company, it is the famous Hilton Group. As early as the development of the new country tourism project, the two sides have established a good cooperative relationship, aiming at the tourism prospects brought by the space elevator.
Almost at the end of the UN summit, Hilton Group President Christopher Nasseta found Jiang Chen and opened an invitation to cooperate.
"Mr. Jiang Chen, we are quite optimistic about the prospects of space elevators. We have studied the space elevator related information published by you. We hope to be able to lease the total area in the gravity-free section, low gravity section and surface gravity section of the city. At 24,000-30000 square meters of space-themed hotel."
The cost of space stations is expensive, in large part because of the high cost of shipping. After the completion of the space elevator, the price of synchronous track construction is no longer the same. Take the $50 billion International Space Station as an example. If the Star Trade wants to build an identical one, the cost may be less than one percent. If you want to expand the same living area on the city of the ring, the cost can even be compressed to 100 million US dollars.
Star Ring City is located in a synchronous orbit, and the development area is much more than that of Penglai City. If it was a year ago, the Hilton Hotel wanted to build a space-themed hotel with a living area of more than 10,000 square meters on a synchronized track, and sold them all at the price.
But now, with only the cost of S$1.3 billion, they can win the project.
However, before signing the contract, there is still a problem to be clear.
That is the opinion of the US government.
The Hilton Group is a US company, but the United States has not made any position on whether to accept the cooperation framework of the Star Trade. For the Hilton Hotel wants to settle in the Star City, Jiang Chen has no opinion, but if the US Department of Commerce is martyrdom, he is some of the Hilton Group.
After listening to Jiang Chen’s concerns, Mr. Nasetta laughed and said nothing: “Mr. Jiang is more concerned, we are also multinational corporations, even the White House can’t stop us from making money. We have a registered company on Coro Island. The wholly-owned subsidiary of the Hilton Group, the US law can only be managed in Hawaii, and it will have no impact on our cooperation."
After hearing this sentence, Jiang Chen also smiled and extended his right hand.
"I wish you a happy cooperation."
As soon as I grasped Jiang Chen’s right hand, Mr. Nasetta shook hard.
“Happy cooperation!”
The date of contract signing was set on the day before Jiang Chen returned to the new country.
Early in the morning, Naseta took her secretary to the door and sent the contract to Jiang Chen.
The content of the contract Jiang Chen has received an electronic version and passed it back to the Star Ring Trade Headquarters, where three rounds of review were conducted by a team of professional lawyers. After getting the paper contract, Jiang Chen just scanned it with the watch. After confirming that the contract with the electronic version was the same, he took the pen and signed his name.
After the contract was signed, Christopher Nasetta warmly invited Jiang Chen to have a meal together, and Jiang Chen also accepted his invitation.
Just signed a multi-billion dollar investment project, Naseta is naturally extraordinarily enthusiastic. This kind of thing can be eaten everywhere, especially for the president of a large group like him. He can decide that he will continue to sit in this position. To a large extent, it is not a pure ability. What is more important is the resources he has. .
The “super-premium customer” like Jiang Chen is naturally the object he is trying to make.
After the meal, Christopher Nasserase gave Jiang Chen a black diamond card.
According to Nasetta, the honor of this black diamond card is more on the diamond card, and it is not released to the public at all. Only the important customers of the Hilton Hotel can get one. Customers with this black diamond card can enjoy the treatment of the presidential suite directly at the counter at any Hilton hotel in the world. Even if there is no listing, they can find a way to arrange it for you. As for free three meals, afternoon tea or something, you don’t have to mention it.
He readily accepted the black diamond card. After Jiang Chen and Naseta bid farewell, he returned to the hotel where he stayed.
After taking a shower, he squatted on the bed, opened the holographic screen of the watch, and browsed the webpage.
I will board the plane back to the new country tomorrow.
Just when he yawned and prepared to go to bed early, a video that hit the sky in a week, attracted his attention. The video was uploaded a week ago, and the time is just the first opening ceremony of the space elevator passenger track... (to be continued.)
