Chapter 428 Can I make friends with 199,900?
The biggest problem of the European Union is that it cannot even talk about a confederacy. When it comes to an alliance, the degree of integration is far beyond that of an ordinary alliance, and then in the European Parliament in Brussels, Aramco will The Likens were a hindrance.
Because of the constraints of the Amerikans, too many politically correct things were forcibly packed and stuffed into the less developed member states of the EU when they received funding.
Here we first popularize a concept, that is, after European countries become members of the EU, they need to pay a certain proportion of membership fees to the EU every year, ranging from hundreds of millions of euros to tens of billions of euros. Germany pays the most. It must be more than 30 billion euros.
You can think of this as taxation. The EU is like a central government that collects taxes from member states.
Then developed member states can obtain markets, cheap labor and natural resources from less developed member states, so the less developed member states naturally need to obtain economic compensation.
This is similar to the logic that underdeveloped provinces in Laos and China can receive transfer income from Yanjing.
However, compared with the transfer income from Laos and China, the EU’s allocation to them is divided into two parts. One is to obtain funds directly from the EU, that is, through the European Commission, and the second is to obtain funds from various EU institutions. Take money from the fund.
The EU has too many funds, such as the EU Transition Fund, the EU Reconstruction Fund, the EU Recovery Fund and so on.
If you want to get money from the committee, you have to go to Brussels. This money is not easy to get.
It is relatively easy to get money from various EU funds, but there are requirements. After you take the money, it means that the EU can tell you what to do.
It will have environmental protection and balanced development requirements for you, which means it will not prioritize efficiency, but will add many other requirements.
Looking at the news, the EU will provide 10 billion euros to Hungary at the end of 2023 to promote economic growth. At first glance, you will think that it is so much? However, in fact, this money should have been given to Hungary. It was an allocation that the EU had promised to give to Hungary over a period of seven years, but it was frozen because Hungary was disobedient.
Then it was thawed again and Hungary got the money.
As for why it was frozen, there are many reasons, including of course that the Hungarian-Serbian railway was given to China for repairs. The money given to Hungary by the EU was used for infrastructure connecting EU member states.
All in all, it is precisely because it is difficult to get money from the EU that we have to pay it to the EU every year.
Now France is saying that it wants to be the leader in the European space industry and vigorously develop the European space industry. Everyone knows that France only contributes 20 billion euros to the EU every year.
With the current space race between America and China, which can easily cost hundreds of billions per year, if Europe wants to keep up, it is absolutely impossible for Europe to spend less than this amount.
In other words, France, which originally contributed money, not only does not contribute money now, but also takes astronomical figures of tens of billions of euros from the EU on the pretext of revitalizing the European aerospace industry.
Somewhat contrary to Tiangang.
No wonder Germany disagrees with everything.
Not only does Germany disagree, but any European country with some brains will not agree.
This is the shortcoming of the EU. The interests of each country are not unified with the interests of Europe as a whole.
At Amerikan, Musk accepted an exclusive interview with Fox News. This was also Musk's first public appearance after the establishment of Amerikan's Space Strategy Committee.
America, which is in the role of a pursuer, cannot complete the research and development of nuclear bomb orbit change technology while keeping the entire process secret like it did during the Manhattan Project.
First, in the information age, Amerikan has been unable to allow so many people to work anonymously for five years or more. It can ensure that these people will not leak their work content, so that they do not use smartphones and do not communicate with the outside world. Communication, this is unrealistic.
Secondly, the US stock market needs some positive news to continue to support it and not continue to collapse.
The current U.S. stock market is already the result of the crash. Among the traditional big7, Google is the first to exit, and Amazon is also in danger. Thanks to its strong performance in the technology field, Huaguo's assets have been repriced. The Shanghai Composite Index is no longer permanently at 3,000 points, but has been stable above 5,000 points for two years.
The U.S. stock market cannot collapse further. The consequences of the U.S. stock market collapse will cause the federation to no longer be able to stabilize even its traditional strong areas, creating a new power vacuum in the region.
In view of these two reasons, Musk needs to stand up and be interviewed publicly to show Amerikan's confidence.
"For China's competition in space, the Federation will show unprecedented determination. We have every reason to believe that America will eventually win this space race, just like we did fifty years ago." Musk chatted in front of the camera.
Musk’s appeal and influence in Amerikan is not comparable to that of ordinary rich people. It is already on the level of Bill Gates 20 years ago. Therefore, the number of viewers of his exclusive interview is higher than that of ordinary rich people. Higher than previous rescued astronauts from global hotspots.
In addition, China has achieved the derailment of its nuclear bomb. Even red necks know that today is different from the past, so it is no exaggeration to describe this live broadcast as attracting nationwide attention.
Actually, it’s quite interesting. There was a big gap between China and America in many aspects before, such as technology, finance, global influence, etc. At that time, America’s media tried their best to exaggerate How terrible is China and what kind of threat it will pose to America.
Today, China is on par with America in many fields. When it has surpassed America in many fields of science and technology, America media has begun to promote America to the people. In fact, China has not How scary. Their technology sounds very powerful, but in fact ours is not bad either.
The host of the show this time is Anna, a beautiful Fox News anchor with blonde hair and blue eyes. Before the start, the two parties communicated that this time it was to reflect America's confidence in the space race, which was part of national propaganda, so it was not necessary at all. What tough questions will be asked.
"Elon, since the day the Space Strategy Committee was established, there have been rumors that this was caused by the derailment of China's nuclear bomb."
Before Anna could say anything, Afterwards, Musk directly admitted: "Yes, China's progress in the space field has exceeded our expectations.
The application scenario of nuclear bomb derailment may pose a major threat to Amerikan. If we cannot quickly keep up with this technology, we will lack countermeasures against China in the future
This is Amerika. The most direct reason for Liken to launch the Space Strategy Committee is to increase funding for space technology development
Of course, space-related technologies are gradually maturing. Humanity has reached a critical time point towards the solar system. Commercial aerospace has preliminary landing scenarios. These are the more core reasons.
America has not missed the Internet wave, has not missed the artificial intelligence era, and naturally cannot miss the space age. "
"So what are you specifically responsible for in the Space Strategy Committee?
And can it be seen as similar to Wright's role in China's natural funds? "Anna asked.
Musk said without thinking: "It's different.
I am more like a project manager, confirming Americen's long-term strategic plan in the space field.
Then determine which technical points we need to overcome, which company or scientific research institution we need to find to overcome these technical points, how much funding we will give them, and how much time we will give them.
How much time do we need to spend to combine the subdivided projects into specific results and make use of these specific results. "
After listening, Anna said: "So what is your most important goal? ”
“It is our top priority to quickly close the gap with China in the field of nuclear bomb orbit change technology. I had communicated with some scientists in advance before receiving the appointment.
We don't have much time in this matter.
Because there are probably only one or two opportunities per year where the asteroid is at the right distance from the Earth.
Rocky asteroids are not suitable for derailing with nuclear bombs, as they will be torn apart by the huge impact.
It is not every year that a metallic asteroid becomes a near-Earth asteroid.
So we have very few opportunities, and we need to worry about China grabbing launch opportunities. "
Anna then asked: "Are you worried about the environmental problems caused to the earth by nuclear bombs exploding in space? "
"Sorry, compared with direct competition from China, environmental protection is not our top priority. ”
This is why netizens on the Simplified Chinese Internet like Xiangdang. They don’t try to be both upright and independent, and they don’t find a high-sounding coat to cover their bad deeds.
The Donkey Party insists on standing on the moral high ground, but what they do is all kinds of warmongers, causing hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced at every turn, claiming that they are upholding justice.
If instead of the Elephant Party but the Donkey Party in the White House, the academic elite trusted by the Donkey Party were in charge of space strategy, they would be pretending to do so with a lot of nonsense. The Xiang Party does not pretend that we care about Mother Earth, and how much budget and new technologies we will spend on environmental protection.
"How long will it take to catch up?" Anna asked.
Musk said categorically: “Five years.”
After Musk’s interview was broadcast, members of the Donkey Party leaked it to the outside world through the Washington Post, which roughly meant that they wanted to empower non-America Liken-born citizens have the right to run for president.
Because Musk also publicly expressed in this interview that he will withdraw from business management except SpaceX and hand over the management of these businesses to professional managers.
He will also withdraw from Space, which originally cooperated with Guangjia Aerospace. Because of his highly sensitive identity, he cannot continue to maintain business cooperation with Chen Yuanguang, who also has a highly sensitive identity.
To put it simply, this interview provides a comprehensive response to many issues discussed by the outside world.
After the Washington Post exposed this series of news, the outside world understood that Washington used the right to run for president to make Musk devote himself to the development of the federal aerospace industry.
“America is indeed a veteran capital country that can trade for anything. Using the right to run for president as a dangle to Musk really makes him unable to refuse.”
“No. What’s the solution? What else can Lao Ma have that could attract him besides the right to run for president?”
"Damn it, Musk can't really be president, can he? If Lao Ma is elected, the childless cat ladies will be devastated?"
"I'm curious if Musk is elected president and publicly criticized Is Musk’s Lao Zhan leaving America and moving to Maple Leaf Country?”
“If Space becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Light Armor Aerospace, it is really possible to change its name to Light Armor Automobile. If it is called Light Armor Automobile, I just regret that I don’t have the money to buy it.”
“If Guangshen were to buy a Guangjia car, could the price be lower than 200,000?”
Not available on Jianzhong Internet? People think that Musk can do it in five years, so no one even asked questions, not because they looked down on Musk, but because Chen Yuanguang’s words were spread. Chen Yuanguang said that for at least five years, the veterans unconditionally trust Guangshen.
As for whether Guangjia Aerospace should change its name, Lin Jia is discussing with Space's senior executives.
Space’s top management includes people recruited by Lin Jia, some promoted from within Guangjia Aerospace, and naturally there are also Tesla faction.
Two senior executives were airborne from Tesla Greater China.
So they were a little uneasy after Musk publicly announced his intention to withdraw shares, fearing that they would be told to get out the next day.
“I think we could use some input from frontline car reviewers.
We now have a concept car, and we can invite front-line car reviewers to test drive it, and discuss this issue with them after the test drive.
That is, if this car had the name of the car with the name of the car, would they feel disappointed, satisfactory, or exceeded their expectations?
This kind of thing is always clear to the beholder. "The executives of the Tesla faction are almost racking their brains, hoping to prove that they are valuable.
After hearing this, Lin Jia felt that this was a way.
"Confidentiality You can sign a very strict confidentiality agreement with them. They can't say the specific content, but they can say that they came to participate in our internal test drive. ”
Lin Jia asked: "What is the specific cost?"
"There is definitely no need to pay, and this is not marketing. Just reimburse them for the round trip expenses and accommodation.
They can afford it. Traffic to light-armor companies can see Space's prototype car in advance. It is valuable to us.
And car reviewers who come to test the car and give constructive opinions will also have priority in getting cooperation opportunities after our cars are launched in the future.”
Tesla does not do marketing, which does not mean that all car brands do not do marketing.
This has always been the view within Space. If Lin Jia can persuade Guangshen or Musk to personally promote Space and bring goods for Space, then they will indeed not have to spend a penny for automotive KOLs. If not, Even if Lin Jia personally delivers the goods, the effect will not reach the level of building a luxury car brand.
Chen Yuanguang is naturally unwilling, and it is even more impossible for Musk to withdraw his shares now.
Therefore, in the early stage, there must still be investment in marketing.
Not all brands can take Tesla’s sales route from the beginning.
"Okay, let the marketing department prepare to invite front-line automotive self-media bloggers." Lin Jia said: "Please show me the list of invitees before sending out the invitations."
