Chapter 245 Refuse to cooperate with Bill Gass
This is also normal. Bill Gass was the former richest man of Blue Star and the godfather of technology, and that was already thirty years ago.
Times have changed, and now Bill Gass is like a wandering crane, in a state of semi-seclusion, and has almost disappeared from the mainstream media in the technology circle of the lighthouse country.
As mentioned earlier, the technology circle of the Lighthouse Country has always had a tradition of creating gods. For example, first it was Bill Gass, then Joe, then Zach Polo, and now Aaron Malak .
The technological idols of each generation are superb, have huge influence, and are admired by hundreds of millions of people.
However, no matter how powerful a technology idol is, there will be a time when he or she is out of fashion. At that time, he will basically disappear from all living beings, his power will be lost, and his influence will eventually return to zero.
The current situation of Bill Gass is basically like this. Except for forums and charities in certain technology circles, he basically has no exposure.
Without status and influence, his importance in the Co-Prosperity Alliance is naturally not that high.
In fact, Gass is in an embarrassing situation, and even now there are cases of ostracizing him.
So, the reason why Bill Gass wanted to do something was actually a little bit of anger.
Of course, Gass is a mature and calm man, and the main reason is to realize his own value.
In the past, Bill Gass felt that technology could indeed change human life, and he really worked hard for it.
Gais has indeed done it. He has brought Microsoft to the position of the world's strongest technology hegemon.
Although Gass also relied on external forces, the invisible power of Washington Street, it was not easy, and there were too many outstanding technology companies in the lighthouse country at the time.
Why does Washington Street only focus on Microsoft?
It’s not because Bill Gass is strong enough and works hard enough.
But after Gass was out of people's sight for many years, it felt like this was not enough.
The Lighthouse Country did not continue to develop technology, and even completely terminated its plan to explore the universe.
The realization of a Hollywood science fiction blockbuster is far away.
Bill Gaston suddenly felt that an opportunity had come. He was still young now, not in his 70s or 80s, and he still had a chance to prove himself.
Gass wants to get into the space industry.
Of course, now Aaron Malak is doing this too and founded SpessX.
One thing is that Guis recognized Malak's ability.
Malak is an unconstrained person and very talented.
More importantly, Malak also has strong execution ability and can lay the groundwork in the company for the sake of his career.
In this era, there are not many entrepreneurs in lighthouse countries who can endure such hardships.
But Malak has a problem. He is too obsessed with making money and is so enthusiastic about the growth of the company's market value that it overshadows his other ambitions.
Gais has already seen that Malak’s goal is to bring the market value of his company to the first place in the world and make him the richest man in Blue Star, so he uses various methods to hype it.
Malak’s behavior is very exaggerated, but he will definitely succeed and become the richest man in Blue Star.
But Gass disagreed with this. After all, he used to be the richest man in Blue Star, and now he is also one of the richest bosses in Blue Star. It is nothing special.
Gass didn't like Malak and felt that Malak was not mentally sound and could not accomplish great things.
Gais also has a competitive spirit. He feels that he is no worse than Malak in all aspects and is even better than him in many ways. Therefore, Geis plans to invest heavily in the space industry and give it a good try. Bundle.
The first step is to build a space launch site. With the launch site, subsequent things will naturally be easier to handle.
For example, satellites, rockets, spaceships, and even space stations are all what Bill Gass wants to do.
Of course, the first step must be taken.
What Bill Gass told Hu Jiangshan is also true.
To do this, it is important to choose the location of the launch site.
There are only two countries in the world that can carry out large-scale space launches. One is the Lighthouse Country and the other is China.
Originally, Gass wanted to choose a suitable place to build a space launch site in the Lighthouse Country, but after walking around and visiting many big shots, including those squid bosses, he still couldn't figure it out. The child fell to the ground.
Why? Because there are indeed too many launch sites in the Lighthouse Country, and they belong to different organizations, and the relationship is complicated, and no one wants to give in.
There is another well-known reason. The situation in each state of the Lighthouse Country is different, especially in sparsely populated states, where those legislators are the most difficult to deal with.
Even if some states allow Gass to build a space launch site, it will still require a lot of money to donate to local legislators.
If you spend money like this, no matter how much money you have, it won't be enough, and Gas will be out of pocket.
What’s more important is that even if you go through all the trouble and effort to build a space launch site, you may not be able to receive rocket launch orders.
Why? Because except for the launch needs of private aerospace companies, such as Malak's Skylink satellite system, all other launch orders are issued by the lighthouse country Nasar.
In other words, which launch site can receive the launch mission and which launch site the aerospace company will cooperate with are all decided by NASA.
And several of the larger aerospace companies in Lighthouse Country, such as SpessX, Blue Origin, and Sonic, all have their own proprietary launch sites. Some companies even have more than one, which is simply not necessary. Find a third-party launch site to launch the rocket.
If the launch site cannot even operate, then there will be nothing to do in the future, and the possibility of success is too low.
This is Gass’s philosophy, which must be done step by step, which is very close to the Eastern way of thinking.
So, after several months of research, Gass discovered that he actually didn’t have many choices. It seemed that only China was the best place to start a second business.
Of course, the current international environment is not good, and it is very risky for Gass to discuss cooperation with China.
Gais does not fight an unprepared battle. He finally reached an agreement with a Co-Prosperity Alliance boss. He said that investing in China is only to make money and will not contribute to the development of China's space industry. What helps, and no launch sites will be built inland.
The other party expressed understanding and basically agreed.
Of course, some details still need to be discussed, and important decisions still need to be made known to the other party.
Those are small things, and Gass is confident to convince him.
Gais doesn’t like those big bosses of the Co-Prosperity Alliance. He even feels that he is not on the same side as them and cannot fit in together. Being with these people is basically just trying to make ends meet. Be against.
But there is no way, after all, Gus is still a member of this circle, and must surrender and obey, otherwise he will die miserably.
This "died miserably" is literally what it means, but it is not an exaggeration at all.
These people have the ability to do anything and will do it very secretly, and their ideas must not be ignored.
Now let’s see if Hu Jiangshan agrees?
If a piece of land can be set aside to build a space launch site on Tenglong Island, Gass is confident that he can establish a cooperative relationship with private aerospace companies in China, and even cooperate with national aerospace companies to receive national launch orders. After all, Gass is in Hua still has some influence and connections.
China also supports foreign entrepreneurs to set up high-tech entities in China. The Tesla Super Factory in Shanghai is a good example.
Thinking of this, Gass made a call to his foundation agent named Paul.
Currently, no new company has been established under Gass’s name. All affairs and personal assets are managed by Paul.
Paul is a person that Gass trusts very much, and is equivalent to his closest confidant.
Gais asked Paul to send the construction information related to the space launch site to Hu Jiangshan’s email address.
Paul agreed and went to do it. Early the next morning, Hu Jiangshan climbed out of bed.
The sun was shining brightly at this time, and the soft and warm sea breeze blew in from the window. Hu Jiangshan felt very comfortable.
What is the word?
Like a spring breeze.
This is the feeling.
Last night, Hu Jiangshan slept in the villa on Tenglong Island. He had a dreamless night and was really comfortable.
Of course, Tenglong Island is indeed too clean.
Except for the sound of the waves, there was no movement at all.
When Hu Jiangshan was sitting on the terrace drinking last night, he was thinking that some lighting equipment should be installed on the beach.
At night, I can’t see anything, it’s so scary.
With the light source installed, there can be early warning of what happens.
Tenglong Island is very important. It has important semiconductor facilities and must not be lost.
Hu Jiangshan came to the terrace, looked outside, and was dumbfounded.
Rows of construction vehicles are at work, moving very quickly and with extremely high construction efficiency. It looks like a video with the accelerator pressed, extremely exaggerated.
Hu Jiangshan felt strange.
Yesterday I didn’t think these construction vehicles moved so fast and smoothly.
What happened today? Did you get chicken blood?
However, Hu Jiangshan can guess the answer if he thinks about it carefully.
These construction machines are controlled by the facility’s artificial intelligence system.
Real artificial intelligence is essentially a neural network, which has the ability to learn. It needs to be learned in the early stage, and the work requires a skilled process.
The machine just started yesterday, and I need to run in and try out what I am doing.
It seems that we have officially entered the state today.
Although the project only took one day, many roads have already taken basic prototypes, and the progress is amazing.
However, the construction period is only twenty-eight days. Without this speed, such a huge project would definitely not be completed.
The cabs are empty, these driverless engineering vehicles are really scary.
Fortunately, the construction is on a private island. If the construction were on the mainland, these unmanned construction vehicles would scare other people.
No one can stand the constant calls to the police.
At this moment, Hu Jiangshan’s cell phone received a message, which was actually sent by Bill Gass.
Hey guys, have you established a long-term relationship?
[Boss Hu, take some time to check your email. 】
Hu Jiangshan replied "OK".
Hu Jiangshan did not expect that Bill Gass, a big boss, was so efficient and would send an email so quickly.
Presumably what was sent was also the construction information of the rocket launch site.
Hu Jiangshan used his laptop to download the attachment of the email, which contained quite a lot of content.
There are PPTs, document introductions, and even video materials.
Hu Jiangshan first browsed the PPT and basically understood the four steps of building a rocket launch site.
No, it should be a space launch site. The name sounds very high-end.
It can be seen from the design that the launch site has very high specifications.
Although the area is not large, it has high integration, scalability and applicability, and can launch medium and large rockets.
It seems that Bill Gass has a huge appetite. He not only wants to take orders for satellite launches, but also considers future spacecraft launch missions.
Hu Jiangshan personally visited the space center built by Aaron Marak in his previous life.
The area is also very large, and the huge starship standing next to the launch pad is also spectacular, but the entire launch site is very simple.
The ground has only been simply hardened, and there is not even a qualified diversion trough under the launcher.
This is also normal. After all, Malak is a master at controlling costs. Just use enough and never waste it. This is an anomaly in the lighthouse country.
Bill Gass’s space launch site design draft is different and very formal.
Correspondingly, the amount of funds invested will definitely be high.
But there is nothing wrong with Gass’s idea. After all, his space launch site is not for his own use, but to receive launch missions from other aerospace companies.
It is natural that the exterior should be better and cannot be turned into a crude rough house, otherwise it will be difficult to receive large launch missions.
Hu Jiangshan saw the construction schedule again.
[Construction period: about two years]
The space launch site is planned to be completed in two years.
Calculating the time, it’s just right.
Several private aerospace companies in China have just been established a few years ago and are still in the research and development stage. Rocket technology, especially engine technology, is not yet mature.
In another two years, the intensive launch period will come, and it will be completed at the right time.
But having said that, it is not that private aerospace companies do not have launch needs now, but the launch site is now very full, and it will take at least half a year to launch after the application is submitted.
So if it is not an experimental mission that must be launched, then save it first.
After roughly reading the information, Hu Jiangshan felt that Bill Gass really had great ideas, and that in the future he would definitely not only want to build a launch site to receive launch orders. Gass would probably also create an aerospace company and eventually build his own rocket. emission.
This is a bit sensitive. After all, this is still the territory of China, and you cannot just trust a rich man from a lighthouse country.
Although the other party is Bill Gass.
What's more, there are semiconductor production lines on Tenglong Island. With Gas's people coming in and out, it's hard not to let them notice something.
Hu Jiangshan did not hesitate too much and planned to refuse.
Hu Jiangshan wrote an emotional email to Bill Gass, explaining that he had no intention of cooperating with him.
He also said that Tenglong Island also had other special uses and asked him to find other partners.
After completing this matter, Hu Jiangshan breathed a sigh of relief, and his interaction with Bill Gass must have ended here.
