"This is a good thing, welcome." Wu Hao said with a smile. This is delivering orders for them, how could he not be happy.
"How is the development of the satellite? When is it planned to be launched?" Wu Hao immediately asked.
Seeing Wu Hao's enthusiastic smile, Xiao Ma also laughed: "It's still early. The launch will probably be this year or next year. I just wanted to say hello to you in advance."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this and said: "No problem, I will ask Haoyu Aerospace to dock with you directly. After all, there is a series of preparations to be done before the rocket is launched. In addition, the rocket wants to launch and the satellite wants to ascend.
If it is empty, a series of procedures are still required, some of which need to be started now."
"I know everything you said. That's why I said hello to you in advance." Xiao Ma said with a smile.
"Haha, yes, yes. With Penguin joining us, we won't be alone. We will definitely have many opportunities for cooperation in this area in the future. To be honest, I'm looking forward to it." Wu Hao said with a smile.
As for Xiao Ma on the screen, he couldn't help but laugh and asked: "If we join, aren't you worried that our two families will compete with each other?
Just like Lao Ma and us, the two of us are considered good friends in private, and we never thought that we would compete, and that the competition would be so fierce.
But with the development of our two companies, we found that we seemed to be competing in all aspects, and sometimes it was quite helpless because we could encounter him in every industry."
Hehe hehe... Wu Hao also laughed when he heard this. He could talk about the grievances and grievances between these two people and the two companies for three days and three nights, but he may not be able to finish them.
Wu Hao also heard many stories between them, so he laughed out loud.
"The universe is very vast, just like the ocean in the early days of the great voyage. Not to mention our two companies, even the entire earth can be accommodated.
To be honest, the domestic strong private aerospace industry is too weak. We also hope that several strong companies can join in and cooperate with us so that we can develop together.
Especially in the face of competitive pressure from foreign companies, it would be difficult to support our company as a company.
As for competition, I think it is a good thing. A market without competition is imperfect. If this field wants to develop rapidly and healthily, competition is still needed."
In response to his words, Xiao Ma nodded and said: "You are right, but we are different from you, and neither are you and I.
Penguin is a listed company and it does not belong to me alone, so I have to be responsible for the shareholders for every decision I make. Not to mention such a major decision, to be honest, I am still under a lot of pressure.
As an Internet company, if it wants to enter the aerospace industry, the span is relatively large. How to adapt to the development of the aerospace industry, how to plan the development direction of the aerospace field, and how to rely on the aerospace field to make profits, these are all issues we need to consider.
I am already in my fifties this year, and I am probably about the same age as your parents.
Although I am relatively young among many entrepreneurs, I am already older than when you came here."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ma laughed at himself and said: "To be honest, once a person reaches this age, his enterprising spirit, energy, physical fitness, and adventurous spirit all begin to fade away.
I was actually very hesitant about taking such a big risk to enter an industry I had never been involved in before, and even wanted to give up several times.
But in the end, perhaps because of coming back from you, I strengthened my belief in this aspect.
Speaking of which, I’m quite grateful to you.”
Haha, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with me, you just figured it out yourself.
After all, you are an industry leader, how can you be easily swayed by others?"
Hehehehe, Xiao Ma laughed, and then asked him: "I heard that you are going to launch a spacecraft of your own in early August. What exactly is it? You seem to be covering it very tightly. The outside world is not yet aware of it.
I know."
"Haha, actually it's nothing, it's just an experimental spacecraft." Wu Hao replied with a smile.
"Forget it, I won't tell you if I ask you now, and I won't ask further." Brother Xiao Ma laughed, and then asked Wu Hao: "We have noticed that you have been recruiting experts and talents in the field of aerospace technology this year.
, and the scope is very wide. I heard that there are experts in manned spacecraft technology and extraterrestrial exploration.
What’s going on, do you also want to learn from Musk and prepare to land on Mars?”
Hearing Xiao Ma's words, Wu Hao smiled slightly: "Why not? If there is such an opportunity, I would also like to see what is in this boundless deep space?"
"It's a great dream, but is it realistic? I mean, is such a plan reliable? Is it feasible to land on Mars purely based on the business model?" Xiao Ma couldn't help but ask.
Wu Hao nodded and replied: "It actually depends on how it is operated and how it is operated. It is definitely difficult to achieve with the power of one company alone, but it is easy to achieve if we can get the power of the public.
Moreover, this is not necessarily a money-losing project. If it can be run well, it can still be very profitable.
For example, we can act as coachmen and send scientists to Mars for a fee. I think relevant scientists and foundations around the world will be very interested in this project.
In fact, let’s not talk about landing on Mars, let’s talk about landing on the moon. Suppose we establish a scientific research base on the moon. On the one hand, we can accept relevant scientists for a fee, and on the other hand, we can also accept some tourists.
And most importantly, we can mine some rare mineral deposits, such as helium-3, a precious element that is abundant on the moon but not available on the earth.
Let’s not talk about whether this helium three isotope can perform fusion reactions, but let’s talk about the scarcity of this element. If we get some and transport them back to the earth, and then sell them to major research institutions, this will be enough for us to make a lot of money.
.”
"But will what you said be allowed?" Xiao Ma couldn't help but frown.
Wu Hao, on the other hand, smiled and said: "I think it will be allowed. I am confident in this aspect. The universe is too big, and the official power alone is still too weak. It is difficult to deal with other countries, especially those that are rapidly rising."
competition among private aerospace companies.
Therefore, from a long-term development perspective, the state will still actively support and encourage the growth and development of private aerospace enterprises.
In fact, in recent years, the state has been increasing its support and investment in the private aerospace field. For example, several of our launch missions this year were specially allocated to us.
I believe that this kind of support will be further increased to promote the active, rapid and healthy development of our country's aerospace technology, especially the private aerospace technology industry."
