Chapter 226 Chen Yuanguang’s podcast debut
Blue Origin would rather cooperate with Chinese companies and risk being questioned by Congress than cooperate with Boeing.
In the eyes of Blue Origin executives, going to Boeing would mean messing everything up.
Boeing is in decline. Boeing is in the most severe recession in history.
It is undoubtedly the representative enterprise of the entire Amerikan high-end manufacturing industry, symbolizing that the Federation still has the ability to restore the manufacturing industry.
In a sense, Boeing is even America's most iconic and important company.
America does not develop manufacturing industry not because it cannot do it, but because manufacturing industry is not profitable. What we want to do is high-end manufacturing industry.
Such content is flooded on the Simplified Chinese and Chinese Internet, as if Amerika looks down upon the profits brought by manufacturing.
Of course, the self-media will continue to exaggerate that the good life of ordinary people in America is based on the developed tertiary industry.
However, the truth behind it is that the lives of ordinary people in America are based on ever-expanding debts, and the growth rate of the tertiary industry is far less than the rate of collapse of the manufacturing industry.
There is a data that clearly illustrates this point: the trade deficit of American manufactured products increased from US$25 billion in 1980 to US$922 billion in 2020; at the same time, the surplus of the tertiary industry only increased from US$6 billion in the same period. to $245 billion.
As the pearl of the federal high-end manufacturing industry, Boeing’s dilemma has directly exposed the shortcomings of the federal manufacturing mechanism.
Boeing’s own passenger aircraft business is facing doubts from around the world.
The fundamental reason behind this is that they laid off thousands of experienced engineers during the virus epidemic, and then recruited new people to start over again, but the delivery schedule could not be delayed, which caused Boeing's disaster performance.
“We believe in the capabilities of Guangjia Aerospace. China has one of the best groups of engineers in the world. I believe the cooperation between us will be very pleasant.
What's more important is that Light Armor Aerospace has Wright, and Mr. Wright can solve all problems in the process. "
Dave said it as if Wright is omnipotent. From the perspective of the American business community, Wright is omnipotent.
Huawei's Ascend 1000 chips have begun to be delivered to Companies other than Guangjia Aerospace
These companies have conducted various internal evaluations, and various evaluations show that from any perspective, Ascend 1000 is better than Nvidia’s most advanced AI chip. Performance.
After such news was returned to Amerikan, Washington was confused. We must know that semiconductors are based on the advantageous industrial chain that took decades to build under the post-war federal innovation mechanism. < br>
Yes, it is precisely because of Chen Yuanguang's existence that Washington has to worry that China will block them technically.
The different offensive and defensive trends promoted by China’s self-media are not self-comfort in propaganda, but are gradually becoming a reality.
Dave is very aware of this situation, and he also believes that if the Federation wants to win this long and protracted war, killing Wright is a necessary condition.
But this is a problem that the big guys in Washington have to consider. For Dave and Blue Origin, Light Armor Aerospace and Wright can completely help them.
Lin Jia said: "I will tell Wright about the cooperation."
Dave said: "These total 5 billion US dollars, and Blue Origin is willing to give 5 billion US dollars."
Lin Jia asked: "How is it specifically composed? I'm not sure we have the ability to do the third one." "
Dave said: "20, 20, 10.
Recyclable rocket technology and the space station are both $2 billion, and the lunar lander is $1 billion."
I don’t have any objections to the first two. France is like a funnel, and any news can leak out. Considering the degree of penetration of France, we really can’t count on them.
The price of US$2 billion for recyclable rockets is also appropriate. After all, this is a technology that is a generation behind.
Only for the lunar lander, Amazon’s order from NASA was more than 3 billion US dollars, and when it changed hands, it became 1 billion. Lin Jia couldn’t accept this:
“The lunar lander One billion US dollars is too little.
The number you got from NASA is much more than that."
Lin Jia thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, that's the price. We only deliver products, not technology.”
Considering that if Blue Origin is self-researched, the budget of 3.4 billion is enough to support a large group of engineers, and the technology is their own.
But if you spend 1 billion to buy it from Guangjia Aerospace, then only the equipment will be delivered.
This is a completely different concept.
Based on the principle that weakening the other party is to strengthen oneself, Lin Jia feels that this deal can be done.
The arrival of Blue Origin is just the beginning. At this round of commercial space industry summit held in Yanjing, many institutions and companies came to Lin Jia to discuss cooperation.
At a price of US$2 billion, many institutions and countries want to buy a cabin from them.
The price is a bit too affordable.
Neon, Maple Leaf Country, Germany and other countries all want to ask if they can still buy cabins.
Even Asan, they also want to buy, but their requirement is to deliver the goods first and pay later.
Considering Ah San’s poor international reputation, Lin Jia asked the vice president to send him away.
In the hotel at night, Lin Jia sat at his desk. The laptop on the desk recorded some recent potential customers. Many of these potential customers are willing to pay, and the price of 2 billion US dollars is not blinking an eyelid.
Lin Jia sighed inwardly: "When I was in school, I couldn't understand why Boss Jia could deceive so many investors.
A lot of investors I was willing to invest money in him, but I was deceived into ruin.
I now know that we have received so many expressions of interest for cooperation before we even built a space station.
This is the aura that success brings, and people will blindly believe that you can do it.
As for what to do if we can’t do it in the future, that’s a matter for the future. ”
“Let’s welcome my most anticipated guest since the inception of “Walking with Great Company”, Wright Chen. ”
Nicholas was sitting in front of the screen with a smile. In addition to the Apple laptop, there was also a paper notebook on the table, with dense handwriting on it that looked like questions he wanted to ask.
< br>Chen Yuanguang was on the other side of the screen, with a white wall behind him. There were no other decorations except the wall. He waved his hand:
"Hello everyone, hello host. I haven't been interviewed publicly for a long time. This feeling is a bit strange and a bit expected."
Various reasons led to Chen Yuanguang's final decision to accept the invitation to this podcast.
The most important thing is that Chen Yuanguang feels that he has not been interviewed for too long, and hopes to have a channel to say what he wants to say to the outside world.
The desire to express can cause trouble.
It also includes the dissatisfaction that netizens ridiculed as being outdated.
Nicholas laughed and applauded: "Let us welcome Wright again.
Since hosting this show, I have never felt worried. All I think about is what sharp questions to ask, so that The guests are difficult to answer, allowing my listeners to gain valuable content that cannot be heard elsewhere.
Only after inviting Wright today, I was still worried the night before, in case Wright and What should I do if I can’t come? What should I do if I miss this opportunity?
I should be the first foreigner to interview you?”
Chen Yuanguang nodded: “Probably. , I don’t remember that I have ever been interviewed by foreign media.
Last year, Time Magazine said it would name me Person of the Year and wanted to interview me live, but I refused. "
Nicholas reminded: "But they still named you Person of the Year. "
Chen Yuanguang said: "It seems so. I received a magazine from them, and the cover is a photo I sent them.
They also complained to my wife that if the photos were taken by them, the quality would be much better. ”
Nicola said: “It’s true, taking portraits is the specialty of Time.
I am honored to be the first foreigner to interview Wright, and it seems that this time I have to ask some valuable questions.
Wright, our show is called "Walking with Great Companies". In addition to being a podcast host, I am also a fund manager.
The fund I manage also has a big investment, but its returns are not very good, and I rarely make money.
Fortunately, the situation has improved since the end of last year.
My first question is, will Guangjia Aerospace be launched? If so, when will it be? ”
Chen Yuanguang said: "I don't think Guangjia Aerospace will be on the market in a short time.
You should know that we have some advantageous products that are not lacking in sales.
Wait until Guangjia Aerospace's space station is launched. , we will have another flagship product.
And as you know, the International Space Station will be retired soon, and the only ones that can provide the space station are China Space Administration and us.
As far as the current news is concerned, It seems that there are many institutions and companies on the market that are interested in our space station
So we are not short of money. "
Nicholas then asked: "What I am very curious about is that the space station module buyout service provided by Guangjia Aerospace reported by the French media is only priced at US$2 billion.
Is this true? "
Chen Yuanguang pondered for a moment. Since the news has been exposed by the French media, there is no need to hide it: "That's right. ”
Nicola exclaimed: “This is really an incredible price.
I have talked about this issue with executives from SpaceX and Blue Origin, and they all said that such a price is very, very difficult to achieve.
Perhaps only Guangjia Aerospace can do this in the world. ”
