Standing in front of the terminal window, watching the government plane take off from the runway, Fang Mingyuan and Angelina returned to the VIP lounge, because in less than twenty minutes, a business luxury jet from Kuwait would take off.

After arriving in Dubai, Prince Abdullah, whom he had not seen for a long time, is the owner of this luxury business jet.

Although Chai Yan and others only stayed in Dubai for more than fifty hours, they signed a series of cooperation agreements with the United Arab Emirates and the Emirate of Dubai on behalf of China. It can be said that during this visit, Chai Yan and others achieved

The results were quite satisfactory. The accompanying group of entrepreneurs did not leave with Chai Yan and the others. They would stay in Dubai for a while before returning to China.

"Chief Maktoum said a lot of good things for you in front of the delegation this time. He also improved the treatment of Chinese people and companies in Dubai, simplified the procedures for corporate investment, and made it easier for Chinese tourists to travel to Dubai.

She stole the show with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister Chai." Angelina chuckled. Her charming and charming appearance attracted the attention of many people in the VIP lounge. These days in Dubai

Here, Angelina has been fully "moisturized". It is not an exaggeration to say that people are more beautiful than flowers.

Fang Mingyuan smiled and took a few newspapers from the newspaper rack. What Chief Maktoum did was a little unexpected, but it made him feel very considerate. Although in Dubai, Chinese people

The total number is not large, lower than that of India, Pakistan, the Philippines and many other countries. However, in the past, Dubai's official attitude towards the Chinese people was relatively friendly, but there was no explicit regulation. Chief Maktoum

This time, it can be said that it is a formal statement that it will give preferential treatment to the capital and personnel from China.

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan glanced at the newspaper and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

"What happened?" Angelina leaned over and asked, "What big news happened again?"

"Nothing. Yesterday, the Falcon 1 of the American Space Exploration Technology Company, a company called SPAE, carried out its fourth launch. This time it was successful, sending a payload of 165 kilograms into the earth's orbit!" Fang Mingyuanpo said

There is genuine emotion.

"Succeeded?" Angelina couldn't help but asked in surprise. She remembered that in the past year, E Company's Falcon 1 launched three times, but each time it ended in failure. The last one was almost the same.

More than a month ago, the launch of the Falcon 1 rocket that took off from the central Pacific island was successful. However, the launch ended in failure due to the failure of the separation of the first and second stage rockets.

"Successful! A new era is coming!" Fang Mingyuan said with some sadness. No one knows better than him that the successful launch of the American Space Exploration Technology Company's Falcon 1 rocket means the "privatization" or "privatization" of the aerospace project.

The wave of "privatization" has begun to emerge. In the years to come, the position of American space exploration technology companies in the global aerospace field will become increasingly important.

e Company announced that it has won a contract for NASA's commercial orbital transportation services, proving that this can be an option for transporting cargo to the International Space Station!" Angelina read softly, and couldn't help but take a breath.

We must know that space orbital transportation, even if we look around the world, is only the privilege of a few countries. There are only a handful of countries in the world that can do this! More importantly, as far as she knows, the e-Company has only been established for five or six years.

Years of time! Even if spae company has obtained technology transfer from NASA, this time is still extremely shocking!

"In the next step, the focus of the American Space Exploration Technology Company will be spacecraft launch recovery technology, and even complete recovery technology of launch vehicles." Fang Mingyuan sighed lightly. He also pays more attention to technology exhibitions in the aerospace field.

In his previous life, he was full of interest in space. If he remembered correctly, the American Space Exploration Technology Company had successfully mastered the spacecraft launch recovery technology before he suffered a car accident in 2012.

At that time, there were only three countries with technology: the United States, Russia, and China!

"Complete recovery technology for launch vehicles?" Angelina asked in surprise, "Can that thing be completely recovered?" In her impression, after the rocket is fired, the rocket body that has burned out the fuel can also be recovered, but most of it cannot be recovered.

It's a wreckage.

"To be precise, it is only the first stage of the launch vehicle. The goal of the American Space Exploration Technology Company is that after the first and second stages of the rocket separate, the second stage will continue to fly upward, and the first stage rocket will fall

After returning to the atmosphere, they want the rocket to fall back to the launch platform, or fall upright to their designated location. In this case, it only needs to be re-checked and refueled, and then it can be reused!" Fang Ming

Long distance.

"Ah?" Angelina's eyes widened in surprise, and the fingers on Fan Mingyuan's arm couldn't help but tighten. Although she said she didn't care much about the aerospace field, she also understood that if this technology could be successful, it would be very important to the aerospace industry.

How amazing the industry's influence will be!

The first stage of a launch vehicle can be said to be the largest part of the entire launch vehicle. It shoulders the important task of sending the upper load into low-Earth orbit. Whether it is the rocket body or the engine, it can be said that it occupies

It accounts for the largest share of the manufacturing cost of the entire launch vehicle. If it can be reused, the cost can be spread over multiple shots. This means that after the first successful shot, you only need to pay for the rocket when you fire again.

The cost of fuel! Compared with the manufacturing cost of the first-stage rocket, the cost of rocket fuel is simply negligible! This means that the cost of space launches in the future will be far lower than the average level of major countries today!

Although Fang Mingyuan didn't know whether the American Space Exploration Technology Company would succeed later, he was very clear about the significance of this technology. Unfortunately, because the American Space Exploration Technology Company accepted NASA's technology and wanted to invest in it,

It requires an extremely strict qualification review. Although Fang Mingyuan has always wanted to invest in it, he has never had the slightest chance. However, it is not without success. He is no stranger to Elon Tesk, the founder of the American Space Exploration Technology Company, and the two of them also

They are all important shareholders of Tesla, a company that produces high-end electric sports cars, although Fan Mingyuan’s shares are much lower than his. Moreover, Tesla’s relationship with Hollywood is also quite close, and his relationship with Cameron is also very close.

good.

Fang Mingyuan took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and was quickly connected. A somewhat sleepy voice came from the mobile phone: "Fang, what's going on this late at night?"

"Ailong, I just saw the news. Congratulations on your successful rocket launch." Fang Mingyuan chuckled, "By the way, I want to wake you up and go to the bathroom!"

"Ah!" A strange cry came from the mobile phone, "I didn't pay attention to the time and called you twice in the middle of the night. Are you going to retaliate against me like this? I have only slept for less than half an hour!" An

Jelina was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that there was such a "connection" between the two.

The angry voice continued to come from the phone: "There is only a four-hour time difference between you and me. Can you get up so early in the morning? You can't..."

"I'm in Dubai now, and the time difference with you is eight hours!" Fang Mingyuan said calmly, "So it's not early in the morning. I just saw the news about the American Space Exploration Technology Company, so I thought I'd like to express my congratulations to you as soon as possible."

The voice on the phone immediately dropped a few degrees, and after a while a helpless voice came: "Okay, okay, thank you! Do you have anything else to do?"

"I heard that Tesla's funds are insufficient? Is it true?" Fang Mingyuan asked, "Can you still get a loan now?"

"I can't get a loan, so I plan to invest the last of my capital if I can't..." Teske said after being silent for a while.

"Are you worried that I will become the company's controlling shareholder?" Fang Mingyuan interrupted, "Or do you plan to wait until the end of the rope to notify me? Although I don't interfere in the company's affairs, I am also one of the company's shareholders.

One, right? Do I just assume that I have enough right to know?" He had heard a rumor in his previous life, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. After the financial crisis caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States completely broke out, due to the inability to get loans,

Tesla's research work was in trouble, and Teske had to invest the last bit of his liquidity into the company, and even had to borrow money from everywhere for a long period of time.

Teske was silent for a long time before saying: "I'm sorry, Fang, this is my fault, I apologize to you..."

"Give me an account, and I will transfer 60 million U.S. dollars, half of which is mine and half of which I borrow from you. It is regarded as an injection of capital into the company. You are not allowed to misappropriate it." Fang Mingyuan interrupted him again, "

I hope that the company’s technology research and development process will not be affected in any way.”

After another long time, Teske said: "Okay, I guarantee that the company's technology research and development process will not be affected in any way. However, the 60 million US dollars can be regarded as your capital injection. You can change the equity in a few days.

Sign it."

After putting down the phone, Teske had no sleep at all. The outbreak of the financial crisis has made financial institutions in the United States and even around the world be cautious when lending money, which made him want to borrow money from banks for Tesla.

This is an extremely troublesome thing. Moreover, due to the failure of the first three launches of the American Space Exploration Technology Company's rocket, tens of millions of dollars were wasted in fireballs in the sky. Although the fourth launch was successful and the company's reputation around the world greatly increased,

The urgent need for funds will continue to rise, and the high-risk rocket launch business and strict capital injection qualification review make it extremely difficult for him to obtain external funds. Most of them can only rely on his own investment, which makes the funds in his hands extremely difficult.

Seriously insufficient. At present, apart from the funds that have been arranged, he only has a measly US$14 million in active funds in his hands. According to his calculations, in the next three months, the company will at least still have enough funds.

A capital injection of US$25 million is needed to ensure the normal operation of the company.

A big factor here is that the cost of Tesla's first batch of Tesla Roadster cars that will be put on the market is much higher than the company's scheduled cost. Originally, in his plan, the production cost of this batch of electric cars was to be controlled.

It is around US$70,000, so the external pre-sale price is set at US$100,000 per vehicle. This price is already quite high for the US auto market, but in fact, the production cost of this batch of electric vehicles is

As high as US$120,000 per vehicle, which means that for every electric vehicle sold, the company not only fails to make a profit, but also loses US$20,000! This is a huge cost that the company cannot bear!

Teske had to consider whether to raise prices, but he also understood that raising prices was likely to cause great anger among car buyers and would also damage the company's credibility in the minds of consumers. But if he said not to do so, the company would

The current working capital will be exhausted quickly. But without raising prices, even if the company strictly controls the production rate of automobiles, if it cannot successfully reduce production costs, the future will still be dark.

And the reason why he did not take the initiative to inform Fang Mingyuan of this situation was indeed because he had concerns about Fang Mingyuan! Because he knew that although Americans have called him the most successful genius after Bill in recent years! He is only three years old.

At the age of seventeen, he is now a billionaire. He has made achievements in the three fields of the Internet, clean energy and space that are unmatched by his peers. Considering that he was born in Africa and only immigrated to Canada when he was eighteen years old

, which made the halo above his head even more dazzling. However, compared with Fang Mingyuan, these achievements of his seemed to pale in comparison.

Moreover, in terms of wealth, he is far from being comparable to Fang Mingyuan. Not to mention anything else, the total assets of the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, even if Fang Mingyuan only owns less than 50% of its equity, are already over.

Not to mention his own net worth, Fang Mingyuan also owns a series of companies that are famous even in the world.

If this is all, Teske just admires Fang Mingyuan. What he worries about is that at this time, when the global financial crisis broke out and many companies were having headaches for not getting enough loans, Hong Kong's Baifusheng Investment Company was able to
Chapter completed!
