Chapter 813: It’s great that the motherland is strong.
After arranging the work related to the Mid-Autumn Festival moon landing project, Xu Chuan picked up the mobile phone on the table and sent a message, then got up and left the office.
Downstairs, Zheng Hai had already parked his car and waited outside the building.
"Where to go, Professor."
Xu Chuan got in the car and Zheng Hai turned around and asked.
"Jinling South Station."
"Pick someone up?" Zheng Hai asked curiously as he started the car.
"Yeah."
Xu Chuan smiled, nodded and said: "Xiaoxiao is back."
Zheng Hai was a little surprised and said curiously: "Xu Xiao, has she graduated? It doesn't seem to be a few years ago, right?"
Having worked as a driver and security guard for Xu Chuan for many years, I naturally know the situation of his family.
In his eyes, Xu Xiao, the once ghostly little girl, was treated as a younger sister. After all, she had always called him Brother Zheng.
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Well, I graduated and came back, just in time."
Zheng Hai smiled, didn't ask any questions, and drove the vehicle smoothly toward Jinling South Station.
Jinling South Station, waiting in the reception hall, Xu Chuan waited quietly.
Xu Xiao did not fly directly to Jinling. There were not many flights from the UK to Shanghai, so there were fewer options. The girl flew directly to Shanghai and then took the high-speed train.
After waiting for a while, a beautiful figure dragging luggage caught his eye in the crowd.
With a smile, Xu Chuan waved towards her.
Soon, the other party noticed this side and ran over dragging his luggage.
"Brother!"
Running over all the way, grabbing Xu Chuan's arm and shaking his head, Xu Xiao said with a playful smile: "Brother, do you miss me?"
Xu Chuan took the suitcase from her, smiled, rubbed her head, and said, "Of course."
The person who worried him the most was naturally his sister who had studied abroad in Europe.
After all, among my closest relatives and friends, this is the only one who is still studying abroad.
Now that he was finally back safely, the huge rock that had been hanging in his heart was finally put down.
Xu Xiao laughed and made a fuss, then said hello to Zheng Hai beside him.
"Brother Zheng, you are still helping my brother drive, and you haven't been promoted?"
Zheng Hai smiled and said, "What's wrong with helping your brother drive? This is my job."
After chatting for a while, Xu Chuan took the lead and said: "Let's go, get in the car first, and then chat when we get back."
Zheng Hai nodded, took the luggage from Xu Chuan, and took the lead towards the parking lot.
The Hongqi car was driving on the road, and the two brothers and sisters were sitting in the back seat chatting.
It is mainly related to Xu Xiao's graduation work and research on virtual reality technology during this period. After all, her path has been paved by Xu Chuan for her.
Xu Xiao is also very confident and has embarked on the path of a scientific researcher in the direction of study he chose.
Yes, although Xu Chuan proposed the research field of virtual reality technology, he only gave a suggestion.
The final decision rests with Xu Xiao himself.
After all, if he didn't want to leave, Xu Chuan couldn't force her to take this path.
"That's right, brother."
In the back seat, Xu Xiao suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at his brother with big eyes, and asked:
"You called me last time and said you wanted to give me a graduation gift. Where is the gift?"
Xu Chuan glanced at her, smiled, and said, "Why are you so anxious? It's still in the car. When have you and I ever broken a promise?"
Xu Xiao stuck out his tongue, skipped this matter and started talking about other things.
After about half an hour's drive, the Hongqi car quickly arrived at Xinghai Research Institute.
For Xu Xiao, this was not her first time here. She walked in front of Xu Chuan with ease and entered her brother's office first.
"Brother, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Will you go back this year?"
Standing next to the extremely wide floor-to-ceiling window, Xu Xiao took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator in the office, took a sip and asked.
Xu Chuan shook his head and said: "I can't go back. The Xiashu Space Base is preparing for the moon landing project. I want to stay here and take charge of the overall situation."
"To the moon!"
Hearing this, Xu Xiao's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Brother, brother, I want it too!"
Xu Chuan glanced at her and said, "Just wait, I think the same about you, brother."
Not only Xu Xiao, he himself is also thinking about when he can go to the moon. But judging from the current situation, he can't get up.
As for Xu Xiao, although it is easier than him to land on the moon, if he really wants to have this idea, he still has to train in physical fitness, aerospace knowledge and other aspects. Xu Xiao will not be able to go there in less than three to five months and half a year. .
Xu Xiao pouted, a little disappointed, but the joy of returning home was greater than the disappointment now, so she quickly put the matter behind her.
Looking at the scenery outside, Xu Xiao thought for a while and then suggested: "Brother, if you don't go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, why not call your parents over?"
In front of the bookcase, Xu Chuan pulled out the transaction contract with Elon Musk from the drawer and said with a smile: "Okay, you are back as well. Reunion is not a reunion."
It is indeed a very good idea to bring my parents over to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the one hand, he really couldn't go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the other hand, he is now trying his best to avoid going back.
Because for him, every time he travels far away, it can be said to be a big fight.
It’s not just the various toss-ups of security, but also the various impacts he himself brings.
Xu Xiao rolled her eyes for a while and said with a smile: "Brother, besides mom and dad, I also want to invite two people."
Xu Chuan glanced at her and said, "If you can invite me."
He knew who the other two people this girl wanted to invite were, but he didn't refuse either.
However, in his opinion, the probability of the two sisters Liu Jiaxin and Liu Jiaying choosing to come over is very small.
On days like the Mid-Autumn Festival, they will probably go back to their hometown in Sichuan to accompany their mother-in-law, who is their only relative.
Xu Chuan is still very clear about this.
Without chatting about this kind of thing, he handed over the document in his hand and said: "A graduation gift for you."
"What, bro."
Xu Xiao curiously took the document bag, opened it, and took out a document from inside.
After briefly flipping through it, she was immediately shocked and looked over with a surprised look on her face.
"Brother, this is."
A contract!
The contract is not the key, the key is the content in the contract!
Neuralink brain-computer interface company!
For Xu Xiao, whose research direction is virtual reality technology, how could she not have heard of this company.
Musk's famous technology company has mastered a variety of brain-computer interface technologies.
More importantly, the current valuation of this company (not listed on the market) is about 6 billion yuan.
The contract states that she can control 90% of the shares, which means that the value of this graduation gift, based on the current exchange rate between soft sister coins and rice gold, is as high as 27 billion RMB. Xu Chuan smiled and said: "You have been studying brain nerve control equipment and virtual reality, haven't you? This gift is very suitable."
"I've seen it. Some of the technologies from Neuralink Brain Computer Interface Company are very helpful for your research."
Xu Xiao took a deep breath, recovered from the shock, and said: "This is too expensive, brother, I can't have it."
If it were any other gift, she would have accepted it.
But this gift has obviously exceeded her ability. It is a huge company with billions of gold and a valuation of more than 20 billion and nearly 30 billion soft sister coins, not to mention other things. Whether she can control it is A big question.
After all, she had just graduated. If she failed, it would be a big loss.
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Don't worry about anything else. It's enough for you to do your own research."
"As for other things, such as company management, it will be good to hire professional company managers when the time comes."
Xu Xiao grimaced and said: "But this is too precious, billions of meters of gold, just in case"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just a few billion meters of gold. Don't worry about losing it. To me, it's just part of the licensing fee for lithium-sulfur battery technology."
Hearing this, Xu Xiao looked at his brother curiously and asked: "Speaking of which, brother, how much money do you have now?"
Xu Chuan thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Xu Xiao: "????"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "I really don't know exactly how much money I have now. I haven't calculated it in detail."
"What about?"
Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "Hundreds of billions? Trillions are possible."
When Xu Xiao heard the figures of hundreds of billions to trillions, he was stunned on the spot.
The little mouth opened slightly, and a standard exclamation came out.
"What the hell!?"
After coming back to his senses, Xu Xiao couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of air, his eyes filled with golden light.
"Brother! So you are so rich!"
Xu Chuan shrugged and said: "Most of them are company shares or something, and there is not much liquidity."
He really doesn't know exactly how much money he has.
Just five percent of the shares in Fusion Energy Co., Ltd. is an astronomical figure.
This company is not listed, so he cannot accurately judge the value of his shares.
Of course, no matter how much it was worth, he couldn't sell the five percent stake.
In addition to the shares of Fusion Energy Co., Ltd., he also holds shares in Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, Chuanhai Network Technology Co., Ltd., and part of Xinghai Research Institute.
Oh, there is also a virtual reality company called "Starlight" that was founded by Xu Xiao with an investment of 200 million, but this is too small and dispensable.
But even if you put aside the shares of Fusion Energy Co., Ltd., the assets in his hands are at least tens of billions.
If Forbes lists statistics, he is definitely on the list.
As for being on the rich list, Xu Chuan doesn't have much interest. He doesn't mention it. Even if the Forbes list has speculation about his assets, he doesn't dare to write his name on it.
But what is certain is that for him today, money is indeed just a number.
As Xu Chuan expected, Xu Xiao ultimately failed to bring Liu Jiaxin and Liu Jiaying to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two sisters had returned to their hometown in Sichuan.
However, Xu's father and Xu's mother had already arrived. After delivering their luggage to the villa at the foot of Purple Mountain, the two elders, who were very interested in space shuttles and moon landings, came to the Xiashu Space Base under the leadership of Zheng Hai.
In the office, Xu Chuan is arranging and confirming the final moon landing work.
The assistant knocked on the door and immediately sent Xu's father, Xu's mother and Xu Xiao in.
"Dad, Mom."
Seeing the second elder walking in, Xu Chuan put down the signature pen in his hand and stood up to greet him with a smile.
"It's okay, just do your work first."
Xu's father waved his hand and asked Xu Chuan to do his own thing, looking around the office.
Xu Chuan smiled and explained: "It's okay. I've already finished what I should be busy with. I'm just going to look at the documents now."
My parents are here from afar, so I can take a break from their busy work for a while.
On the side, Xu's mother looked Xu Chuan up and down, and was relieved to see that there was not much change in his appearance.
We haven’t seen each other for almost half a year. How could they, as parents, not be worried when they are away from home?
On the side, Xu Xiao said with a playful smile: "Brother, go ahead and do your business. I'm still here. I'll take my parents for a walk."
Seeing his father standing next to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the space shuttle not far away, Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Sit down for a while, I will take you to visit the space shuttle later."
Hearing this, Father Xu turned around and said with some worry: "It won't cause any interference to your work, right?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's just a look, there's nothing wrong with it."
After taking the family on board the Hanhai for a tour and satisfying some of the family's curiosity, the group quickly evacuated the runway without causing any trouble to the development of aerospace work.
As time goes by, the sun begins to set gradually in the west, and night begins to fall.
At this moment, the Space Launch Center is brightly lit.
The three space shuttles Hanhai, Fuyao, and Xinghai, which have been prepared, have completed their final inspections and are arranged in an orderly manner on the extremely spacious runway.
Ground crews were busy shuttling on the take-off runway, doing final inspections of the launch site and the three space shuttles under the command of engineers.
The plan for this time's moon landing has been decided, and the ignition is scheduled to start at ten o'clock in the evening.
Standing next to the transparent glass window of the control tower, Xu Chuan and his family quietly waited for the upcoming launch.
Before the launch, compared to others, he was the most relaxed.
After all, this was not the first time to land on the moon. Although the scale of the mission was larger this time, he did not need to personally direct it.
As time passed by, ten o'clock arrived, and the Hanhai, which was crossing the end of the spacious runway, was the first to start. The red and purple tail flames swayed in the night sky, streaking across the sky like shooting stars, heading towards the bright round at this moment. The new moon sails away.
"It's so beautiful, man, like a shooting star."
Seeing the space shuttle take off for the first time, Xu Xiao, who was standing aside, couldn't help but praise it.
Xu Chuan's eyes also followed the Hanhai's takeoff. This shocking scene would never get tired of him no matter how many times he watched it.
On the side, watching the red-purple arc light holding the silver spaceship slowly leaving the ground from the end of the runway and flying towards the distant skyline, Xu's father suddenly sighed.
"Seeing this scene, I suddenly understand why you wanted to go up there before."
Xu Chuan turned his head and looked over and said with a smile: "Is there a chance to take you with me some other time? Let's go to space and see?"
Hearing this, Father Xu shook his head without hesitation and said, "That's not necessary. I am very satisfied to be able to stand here and watch the launch of this space shuttle today."
On the side, Xu's mother rolled her eyes at Xu's father and said, "He's an old man, and he's still in space. His back hurts even after taking a plane. Don't let him fall apart."
Father Xu smiled and did not refute. He looked at the light that had gone away and opened up like a shooting star in the dark night sky. He just watched quietly, admired and blessed.
In the past, they could only see the space shuttle on TV and in the news, but now they already have it.
In the past, they could only report on the manned moon landing and long for it in their hearts. They have carried out it again and again. He could even stand here with his own eyes and watch the space shuttle go away.
As a simple farmer who was born in the 1970s and has experienced countless changes, he only has the most genuine emotion in his heart at this moment.
"It's great that the motherland is strong."
