"Mr. Jiang, I'm the president of Hua Aerospace Science and Technology Group. This is my business card. I heard that you rented a port of Celestial City to SpaceX? Do you have any plans to rent the port? Our offer will definitely not disappoint you! "
"It's an honor to meet you! I've heard that Mr. Jiang is young and promising, and now I see you in person! I'm the president of Yike Real Estate Group. This is my business card. I hope Mr. Jiang can accept it. I heard that Celestial City's external space station has two thousand acres of land yet to be developed? We have more than 30 years of experience in real estate development. I hope Mr. Jiang can consider our Yike Group. Whether it's capital or technology, our strength is guaranteed! "
"… I'm the president of Bigro Aerospace. Haha, it's been a long time. I also shook hands with you at the Silicon Valley Summit … We have deep research in the field of inflatable spacecraft. I wonder if you are interested? "
"…"
After the speech session, it was time for an exchange session.
As soon as Jiang Chen stepped into the venue from the podium, he was surrounded by a group of entrepreneurs, and a variety of business cards were handed to him one after another. Of course, the invited visitors were all elites from all walks of life. Even if they were enthusiastic, they were reserved, and the venue did not fall into chaos.
There were nearly 370 groups from all over the world that expressed interest in cooperation, and there were also 50 companies that signed the agreement on the spot. Hua Aerospace Science and Technology Group signed a port lease agreement with Celestial Trade after SpaceX. At a price of 170 million Xin New Dollars, they rented a berth for five small and medium-sized aircraft for a ten-year period. After ten years, Hua Aerospace had the priority to renew the lease.
The Russian Aerospace Group also rented three berths and prepared to develop its own outer space spacecraft.
This kind of cooperation with national enterprises had diplomatic and political significance far greater than economic significance, so Jiang Chen didn't charge them a lot for the port lease price. After all, if they rented the port, they would have to use the space elevator to transport things to the port. For every kilogram of materials transported to space, a certain transportation fee must be paid to Celestial Trade. Although it was not much money, it was equivalent to a long-term stable meal ticket.
However, the real profit came from the cooperation with companies from all over the world.
For example, Yike Real Estate Group in Hua, a company with a market value of 100 billion, directly took out 1.5 billion Xin New dollars to buy the development rights of an external space station with an area of 700 acres. He was ambitiously preparing to build the more than seven hundred acres of construction land into the most prosperous commercial district in the entire Celestial City.
Converted to RMB, it was equivalent to more than 20,000 yuan per square meter, which was already higher than the land price in the city center of some cities. The entire Celestial City was not open to the public yet, and the risks were self-evident.
However, the boss of the Yike Group didn't think so. He sent the group's best salesman to inspect Celestial City. Whether it was convenient transportation or potential commercial development value, it was worth the money.
Although spending more than 10 billion RMB was indeed distressing, if this 700 acres of real estate was developed, merchants from all over the world would scramble to move into his business street, and the money he earned would also come from all over the world.
It was not only the Yike Group that was ambitious, but there was also the Yida Group that was preparing to invest in the construction of a cinema in Celestial City, the Intercontinental Group that didn't want to fall behind the Hilton Hotel, and the ArcelorMittal Steel Group that was preparing to lease the 6X4 interface.
ArcelorMittal Steel Group, as the world's largest steel producer, naturally had its advantages in this depressed environment of the steel market. After seeing the Stingray P-1 mining video released by Celestial Trade, they immediately saw the broad market prospects of space mining.
It didn't matter if they didn't have the technology. They had enough money to hire people to help design the space station. In the face of capital, as long as the technical conditions were sufficient, these were not problems at all. After the birth of the space elevator, a large number of aerospace companies in Silicon Valley exceeded their expectations and were struggling to transform their industries.
Celestial Trade gave them a way out. They believed that after the end of the Outer Space Resources Development Forum, many large companies would come to invest. Designing space stations with different functions would become a very profitable way to replace launching commercial satellites.
…
The sea breeze blew by and brought away some of the temperature.
On the seaside not far from Future Building, a very unique sightseeing platform was built here. The working environment of Future Group was very relaxed. Many employees would choose to eat here during lunch break. But now it was night, and it was very quiet here without a single person.
The sound of the sea surged in his ears. Jiang Chen leaned against the railing, lit a cigarette, and quietly looked at the sea. His thoughts drifted away with the sea breeze.
Tonight, he signed at least 60 billion Xin New Dollars worth of contracts. Later, because there were too many people, he pushed the rest of the social engagements to Xia Shiyu and other company executives, and slipped out alone.
Now, this number should be doubled. Xia Shiyu's business ability was many times better than his. Jiang Chen was looking forward to the end of the entire Outer Space Resources Development Forum and whether this number could exceed 100 billion.
Whether it was 60 billion or 100 billion, converted into US dollars, including the previous income, all the investment in the space elevator had been successfully recovered. After paying off the loan from Future Bank, Future Group's tight capital chain for almost a year also gradually relaxed.
With the completion of the space elevator, Jiang Chen felt that the burden on his shoulders had also been lifted.
The space elevator appeared more than 50 years earlier than history.
In this way, even if one day in the future faced the colonization ship of Harmony, human civilization wouldn't be powerless to fight back.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.
He found that he was actually worried about something more than a hundred years later, it was too …
For a while, he couldn't think of any words to describe himself.
At this time, a trench coat was put on his body.
Jiang Chen turned around and met the sapphire-like eyes.
"Don't catch a cold."
Her slightly curly hair ruffled in the sea breeze. He didn't know when, but Ayesha was already standing behind him.
"Mhmm." Jiang Chen smiled and responded to her gentleness. "Thank you."
"Is there something on your mind?"
"I don't think so. I just thought of something a little far away. "
Not far away, Ye Yunfei also stood on the beach, watching the two snuggling together from a distance.
At this moment, she was wearing a light blue evening gown with a glass of champagne in her hand.
To be honest, she was surprised.
The Outer Space Resources Development Forum completely changed her impression of him.
The entrepreneurs present were all more cunning than foxes. To ignite their investment enthusiasm with a speech was more difficult than convincing a mouse to catch a cat. Even with her experience, she had to admit that the speech was indeed a classic.
Originally, she thought he was just a lucky nouveau riche, she didn't expect him to have some skills …
So much so that she suddenly felt that he wasn't so annoying.
As for affection …
She swore, just a little bit.
Thinking about what her father said to her on the phone, she finally made up her mind and was ready to take the initiative to approach Jiang Chen, but she saw the scene of the two hugging each other. The determination that he had made with great difficulty was gone with the wind before it even started.
Her lips loosened and Ye Yunfei slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
She whispered in an unclear voice, tilted the glass slightly, poured the champagne into the sea, and turned away.
