Chapter 645 Governor of Mars
If it is beneficial to oneself, that is called a good person. People who are harmful to themselves are called bad people.
If the country is involved, it is usually called rape.
There is no doubt that the actions little Gilbert did in private were equivalent to being raped. But to the other side, a good person is even suspected to be a bit stupid.
After this school year, the children will all go to China to study abroad. And little Gilbert would also frequently go to the other side to communicate on the pretext of business dealings.
Of course, smart people all know what little Gilbert is doing, and will put pressure on the other side.
But this kind of pressure will not be effective. Anyway, there is pressure whether there is such a thing or not, and it doesn’t matter.
After Christmas, comes the New Year.
Little Gilbert attended the annual meetings of the fruit company one after another and inspected coveted assets such as the banana company and the watermelon company.
Little Gilbert went to inspect the development of Nvidia's gaming graphics cards again. This company that sells gaming graphics cards is not currently attracting attention, but it will have great potential in the future by hyping up its AI computing power.
Pi Yihuang is still the CEO of Nvidia, but Fruit Group has become Nvidia's largest shareholder through various funds.
Little Gilbert also chatted with Jeff Bezos and talked with him about his thoughts on online shopping. Transforming an online bookstore into an online shopping mall was Jeff Bezos’s goal in building Amazon.
Apple's internal concept of smartphones is gradually becoming clearer. According to Jobs' plan, the next generation of Apple mobile phones will be launched in 2009.
The next generation of iPhone is the smartphone that Steve Jobs dreamed of, and it will also be Apple’s miracle machine.
At the same time, the medical center co-operated by Jobs and Gilbert Jr. opened a fifth one in North America amidst the constant pressure from medical capital.
At the same time, medical centers were opened in cities such as Tokyo, London, and Paris.
Medical capital has tried every means, using the media to smear it, lobbying Washington for restrictions, and even poaching people, etc., but with little success.
This medical center was not originally for the poor, it was created to make money from the rich. After several years of development, many of the world's richest people have become frequent visitors to the medical center, and many are life-long members.
As for the reason, needless to say, it is naturally because of the good effect.
If medical capital can destroy the medical center with a thunderous force and retain all the medical technology, the rich will not have any reaction.
But the reality is that it has been several years and the medical center is still doing well.
In order to save their own lives, the rich will become the protectors of medical centers. From this medical center began to spread, a network of contacts spread all over the world.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Wall Street capital, medical capital, and those established financial groups jointly prepared to kill Little Gilbert.
Everyone knows that once little Gilbert’s layout is completed, no one can do anything to him.
To put it bluntly, who can guarantee that they will not get sick? Even if they don’t get sick, don’t they want to live longer? In this decadent upper class society, status, money, and power are all intoxicating, and people will not give up easily.
As long as they can still enjoy it, no one wants to die, so the same goes for those who are working with little Gilbert. If they can't kill little Gilbert, they will come to beg him instead.
Live and enjoy a good life, and then pursue a higher status, more wealth and power, is the pursuit of all those in power.
Sometimes little Gilbert would think, no wonder the protagonists in ancient urban novels all had superb medical skills. It turns out that at that time, the authors already understood that life is money.
Afterwards, Gilbert Jr. chatted with Musk again. Musk's Tesla car-making business continues to develop, but the electric vehicle products are not yet mature enough to reassure consumers.
Another little Gilbert is more concerned about is the Space Exploration Technology Company. With the loud noise of the Columbia space shuttle, the discussion about the safety hazards of the space shuttle has not stopped.
NASA's earliest idea was to replace the spacecraft with a space shuttle. After all, the space shuttle can be reused and can save launch costs.
But later, NASA discovered that the space shuttle not only had safety risks, but the imagined savings were not realized. The cost of each launch was very high, and the maintenance costs were also high. In view of this, NASA announced last year that it would gradually retire all space shuttles, declaring the end of the space shuttle era.
Of course, the deeper reason is that because there are no competitors, Washington believes that there is no need to invest in space exploration on a large scale, and the funds allocated to NASA are also decreasing year by year.
As for the nascent CNSA, although it has achieved manned spaceflight, to be honest, Washington does not think CNSA is competitive.
Of course, if the subsequent series of situations could have been anticipated, Washington would probably regret it. But at this time, cutting NASA's funding is a very reasonable choice.
Funds have been reduced, NASA has also begun to lay off employees, and a large number of professional personnel have lost their jobs.
But for Space Exploration Technology Company, this is an opportunity. After consulting with Gilbert Jr., the major shareholder, Musk recruited these professionals who had been laid off by NASA.
These unemployed people were about to leave the space exploration industry. Suddenly they heard that a private aerospace exploration company hired them, and they felt very surprised and happy.
In order to support their families, most people accepted invitations from Space Exploration Technology Corporation.
In the office of SpaceX, Gilbert Jr. chatted with Musk.
Little Gilbert pointed to the Space Shuttle Discovery model and said to Musk: "There is no doubt that the reusable route is not wrong.
But I think NASA has gone in the wrong direction. The focus should not be on expensive space shuttles, but on rockets."
Musk agreed: "You and I have the same idea. I plan to build a reusable rocket, but without your financial support, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve."
Little Gilbert laughed Said: "Now that we have the funds and people, we can roll up our sleeves and do it.
You tell those rocket experts, don’t be afraid of blowing up rockets. By blowing up rockets, we will figure out how to implement the technology. All in all, we have deep wallets and can start experimenting.
No matter what happens, you can still watch the fireworks! "
If Ivanka hears this, she will definitely call little Gilbert a prodigal son. As a housekeeper, she takes money very seriously.
But for little Gilbert, It's a very good thing to say. It's hard to buy it with money.
To put it bluntly, the Space Exploration Technology Company is little Gilbert's toy, but this toy is more expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people.
Musk said full of fantasy: "Little Gilbert, do you think we will land on Mars one day?"
"Probably yes?" Little Gilbert said with a smile: "Going to Mars is not a problem. The question is how to survive there.
Mars becomes our colony once we plant the plants there."
"Governor of Mars?"
"Yes, Elon, I will seal it. You are the Chief Administrative Officer”
Musk was happy: "I am happy to accept this appointment, Your Excellency Governor."
Of course, this is just a joke. In fact, according to the current technological development, it is basically impossible for humans to colonize Mars. matter.
But the wonder of the world is that it is constantly changing. Once a revolutionary technology emerges, it will push the overall technology of mankind forward.
If you take good care of it, it will definitely not be a problem to live to ninety-one hundred.
Perhaps little Gilbert can see humans landing on Mars in his lifetime?
