Chen Guangping couldn't help but shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but that he wasn't optimistic about this project at all.
There are many factors that form a city. It is either located in a place with convenient transportation, such as Jiangcheng, the thoroughfare of nine provinces, the crossroads of North China, Pengcheng, a battleground for military strategists, and urban commercial capitals brought by trains, etc.
Either it is a resource-based city, such as PZH, a legendary city in southern Sichuan, which is famous for its iron mines. Another example is the oil capital Daqing, the steel city Anshan, and the city that is said to have the lowest housing prices in China.
You can buy a house in Hegang for 10,000 yuan.
These cities were all built because of a certain kind of mineral resources, which attracted people from all over the world to gather and eventually formed a city. The pillar industry of this city is minerals, so it was born because of minerals, prospered because of minerals, and declined because of minerals.
Forgot due to minerals.
In addition to mineral resources, there are also cities with natural resources, such as JMS, which is rich in forest resources, Zhoushan, which is rich in fishery resources, Zigong, an ancient city that grew up because of salt, and so on.
There is another category, which is commercial cities. The prototype of these cities may be a trading market or a farmer's market, and eventually they will become commercial cities. The most representative one is naturally Shanghai. This small county town that was once on the Huangpu River,
Because the unequal treaties were finally forced to open up, an international metropolis, commercial center, and financial center eventually formed.
There are also comprehensive cities, which are generally metropolitan cities. In ancient times, they were like the capitals of some dynasties, such as Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Jinling, etc.
In addition, there is a kind of tourist city. This city rises because of a certain tourist attraction, which is also a kind of resource. The most famous one is probably Huangshan, which is a city named directly after a mountain and a tourist attraction.
.Similar ones include Wuyi Mountain, Emei Mountain, etc.
So looking at it this way, what is this lunar city based on, or how is it positioned? Or even to put it bluntly, what does this city rely on to operate? This is the primary question before everyone.
Tourism, moon tourism? Count one, but how many people can really afford to travel to the moon, and how can they support the operation of a city?
Relying on scientific research, a general scientific research station seems to be enough, there is no need to build a city.
Relying on minerals, mining on the moon, and how to transport it back, this is the first problem that must be solved. If this problem cannot be solved, don't mention it.
Lunar immigration, lunar settlement, lunar city? After Chen Guangping said these three words, he immediately stopped talking.
Wu Hao naturally heard what Chen Guangping meant. It was obvious that he was very unfavorable about this project.
So he nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, this project is indeed very difficult, and even a bit bizarre now.
But a hundred years ago, who would have thought that our people could live in space for a long time and even visit the moon. Now we humans are beginning to prepare to land on Mars.
So this seems to be a whimsical thing, a daydream, everything is possible, and maybe one day it will really come true.
In our opinion, this project is still very feasible, and in terms of commercial value, its prospects are also very broad.
First of all, the Moon City project will get us a lot of financial sponsorship. We are an international commercial project, so it will help us get more project development funds and related support.
If it can be run well, not only will it not be in debt, but it will also make money, and it will be a huge profit."
For example, following Musk, he once preached that he would land on Mars, and then sold his own electric cars? Chen Guangping joked with a smile.
Hehehe, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "I'm not as shameless as him, and I don't bother to do that kind of thing.
The commercial operation I am talking about is based on the project itself. Not to mention anything else, just the naming and advertising effects, copyright and the like are already very expensive.
Then there are other business cooperations. Anyway, after this period, it is also a very impressive number.
Let me give you an example. At present, if some popular idol stars are hired to endorse or sponsor some consumer goods, beverages, or luxury goods, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
If it is a title endorsement for a certain event or activity, it will cost at least tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even more than a billion for larger events.
Even the advertising fees for some variety shows are in the hundreds of millions.
So compared to these popular idol stars, events, and variety shows, if our project is successful, its influence will not only be limited to the domestic market, but also to the international community.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s just say that we designate a certain type of milk as the special milk for the astronauts at our lunar base, and bring one or two bottles to the moon for display. Guess how much such an advertisement can sell?”
According to you, it should be several hundred million no matter what? Chen Guangping said with a smile.
Wu Hao laughed and said: "A few hundred million, you underestimate us too much. We spent so much effort to show them advertisements on the moon, and then you just sent us away with a few hundred million?"
Hahaha, if you want to say that you have a dark heart, no one can compare to you businessmen. You really dare to speak loudly. Chen Guangping laughed and cursed, and then asked: "I'm afraid these alone are far from enough for your investment cost.
Then what?"
"Then, as I told you before, sell tickets and engage in tourism. Build a few resort hotels in the lunar city, and then attract the rich and even the people of the earth to come and stay for a few days. This will happen again and again, and then stay for a few days
The total cost is also very considerable. Moreover, the key to this thing is that the cost is relatively small, and it is a green industry and a long-term industry."
Is that still not enough? Chen Guangping asked.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "The last one is mining.
The moon is rich in mineral resources, especially some precious mineral resources, such as helium-3, which is abundant on the moon but very rare on the earth.
If we can mine this precious resource and transport it back to the earth, it will definitely be a very profitable product.
Moreover, helium-3 is not like other solid mineral resources, but a gas. After it is compressed, it is easy to store and transport.
Therefore, in the future, helium-3 will be one of our main target resources for lunar mining.
In addition to helium-3, there are also some other rare resources, as well as some resources unique to the moon that we have not yet explored.
We will smelt and purify these resources locally, digest some locally, and transport some back to the earth."
