Space?
When people mentioned these two words, they would quickly think of "distant," "mysterious," "dark," "lonely," and so on.
"Boss, are you saying that we are going to enter the space field in the next stage?" Network manager Ji Ke pursed his lips. "Are we … going to do satellites?"
The most common project in the space field was naturally satellites.
According to statistics, more than 5,000 satellites were launched into space by countries around the world. Many large technology companies had their own commercial satellites. If Monster Industries announced that they were going to send a few satellites into space, it would not be strange.
Satellites were easy to build, but there were very few countries that had the technology to send satellites into space.
If they wanted to launch satellites, they had to cooperate with the National Space Administration and borrow their transportation vehicles.
"It's not just the satellites. We will even try to explore the satellites and planets that are closer to Earth."
"…"
"Boss …"
The smiles on the faces of these senior managers froze, and they looked at Ye Qing in surprise.
They supported the development of satellites, but what was the situation with the exploration of nearby planets?
Was it like the Apollo moon landing or the Mars project?
Not to mention these two projects, only the most developed country in the world, the United States, had played with them. But even the United States only played around with it during the Cold War. Until now, they couldn't even produce the launch vehicle of that time.
This was more than just burning money, it was more like selling a few Monster Industries projects.
The most important thing was that there was no return on this thing. The United States landed on the moon with the power of the entire country, but the actual benefits and investment were not proportional.
If Monster Industries was a listed company, and then announced that they were going to explore nearby planets, the next day, the stock price would fall to celebrate.
The management hurriedly advised, laid out the facts, and gave examples.
"Don't worry, everyone. Things are not what you think." Ye Qing knocked on the table and smiled. "I am very clear about the current level of our company's technology. At this stage, it is indeed too ambitious to explore the resources of the moon. "
"But our next step into the space business is certain. We will soon make a technological breakthrough in this area."
"The first step can start with satellites."
Ye Qing picked up the satellite phone on the side and explained, "Monster Industries is currently in urgent need of a few network communication satellites."
"For example, when we are communicating with the overseas base in Africa, our Banshee aircraft is on the route and talking to the tower."
"Also, some of our more sensitive drones and remote control equipment require network communication satellites."
"With our own communication satellite, not only can we save a lot of money on the Banshee's communication fees, but we can also save a lot of money. It's also very beneficial to our information security. "
"I agree with that." Qiu Yi kept nodding. "Last month, Skynet Airlines spent as much as seven million on satellite communication fees, and that's the discount price after becoming a member."
"Right now, we have a scale of 400 aircrafts. In the near future, the scale of the aircrafts will increase by several times. Of course, the annual fee will be multiplied a few times. The annual fee will be three to five hundred million. "
"With our own satellite, not only can we save on this cost, but we can also rent the remaining satellite data to other airlines."
The other managers had the same attitude. They were very supportive of the development of satellites.
The difficulty of satellites was not as high as imagined. This was indeed a product that Monster Industries needed more and more.
After another half an hour of discussion, the satellite development plan was finally finalized.
Later, the various departments would have to follow up on the relevant business. The finance department would have to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, gather funds, and prepare for the new project.
Qiu Yi suggested that they could borrow from the bank.
With the situation of Monster Industries, they did not dare to say that they would have no problem getting a low-interest loan of two to three hundred billion.
Ye Qing did not consider this for the time being. Monster Industries still had enough cash flow. Space was indeed very expensive, but Monster Industries could afford it.
Under the blessing before the upgrade of the Monster Factory, it had already vaguely revealed that the eighth stage would have black technology in space, related to minerals. Ye Qing indeed needed these technologies, which was why he had laid out the plan in advance.
This technology needed to be accumulated step by step. A company that could not even handle satellites would say that they were going to the moon to mine. Wouldn't that be a joke?
Of course, space technology was only one aspect.
According to convention, there would be at least three or four aspects of black technology.
In terms of civilian technology, in terms of military industry.
Civilian technology, this giant money-sucking beast, had already been developed very well.
After the baptism of one revolutionary product after another from Monster Industries, domestic consumers had become very attached to Monster Industries. Now, even if Monster Industries only produced a PowerPoint presentation and opened a pre-sale channel, countless consumers would open their wallets.
Therefore, civilian technology did not need to be laid out in advance. It was good to give consumers a full surprise.
The topic of discussion for the next meeting was on civilian technology.
Cars, cell phones, and aviation.
Monster Industries had already dominated these areas of top-notch technology. The next direction was not so much about what technology they had mastered, but where to invest the technology?
Whichever civilian industry could generate the most profits and had the most prospects would be the next direction of development.
When it came to the most promising industry, everyone's interest was ten times higher than in the satellite industry.
The sales manager, Hong Tao, was the first to speak. "Boss, I think the automobile industry can be deepened."
"Traditional gasoline-powered cars have already been developed to the limit. I've studied cars from the 1980s. They are not much different from today's gasoline-powered cars. It's just that the rapid development of electronic technology has added a lot of auxiliary functions to users, making it look very different. "
"Transmission systems, engines, frames, shock absorbers, these decades of changes are pitiful."
"The future automobile industry must belong to new energy, just like our Thunderbolt car. If we have the sales scale of Volkswagen … "
"Volkswagen has been selling cars for almost a hundred years, but it still hasn't sold to the world's first." The general manager of the network department, Ji Ke, disagreed. "Boss, I think if we want to achieve mass scale in cars, we must take the route of small profits and quick turnover."
"Whether it's a gasoline-powered car or a new energy source, it can't jump out of the category of cars."
"My idea is to enter the future field."
"What field in the future?" Hong Tao raised an eyebrow.
"Virtual reality field."
When it came to this, Ji Ke became very excited.
"Boss, from the current popular VR to virtual reality, which has a general direction, this is the trend of future technology development."
"Last week, I went to see [Number One Player], and I was more determined in my idea."
"Today's consumers are not short of clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, but the mental emptiness is getting more and more serious." Ji Ke said, putting the blindfold on with both hands. "Now VR products are almost garbage, but why is this concept always popular?"
"Because it can bring us the experience of another world, and even move the world in and create infinite possibilities."
"We have the most advanced display technology, so it's better to develop this."
