Chapter 1302 Slowly Starting Starlink

"Boss, it's time, you can go out now."

"Okay, Warren, go and see the invention that changed the world. This is a moment to witness miracles. I hope you like it."

"As you wish!" Buffett got up and followed. Of course, the old man actually didn't think so in his heart. Anything can change the world. That Merlin rocket engine should be a very old thing, and you can talk so much.

Of course, it doesn't matter how you complain in your heart, there is a little investment in it, once this launch is successful, hey, at least you can earn a little money.

Buffett's disapproval, of course William White saw it. However, he didn't care about this scientifically blind opinion, and inviting this guy here was more of a performance.

"Boss, start it. After pressing this button, it will launch in tens of seconds."

"Uh, okay. This shouldn't be a switch in series." William White couldn't help laughing when he saw the dark face of chief engineer Nick Andrews.

Of course, although he knew it was just for show, he would not refuse. I remember there was a space force movie later, it seemed to be such a plot. In fact, most of the fire buttons are not in front of the camera. Nima, if you accidentally press it, it will really be a disaster.

10.9.8.7...

The rocket lifted off smoothly, the thrusters separated successfully, and the satellite entered the predetermined orbit.

Buffett is curious, after the successful launch, shouldn't you celebrate with champagne?

However, he looked back and saw that the champagne seemed to have been launched, but, what are you waiting for?

"Is this a success?" Lao Ke, who was lying in the white room, was also watching the live broadcast. The rocket launch is amazing, and the US emperor has long been not interested in watching it. If you're a space shuttle, then you're just so-so. It's just a few communication satellites, is it necessary to make a fuss?

The live broadcast is not only a live TV broadcast, but also the first live broadcast on the Internet. You don't need to look at the rest, it's just this huge amount of publicity expenses, even the rich and powerful NASA is stunned by it.

Fuck, with so much money, why don't you do a good job in scientific research?

"Not yet, Mr. President, they're waiting, waiting for the rocket to re-enter the atmosphere. Honestly, if it does work, it's going to be a feat."

"Um, are they going to reuse it? A launch vehicle that can be used repeatedly? Shet, why can't Hercules do it?" Thinking of the expensive launch fee, Old Ke Yagen was itchy.

Asshole, if it wasn't so outrageous, there would be such a big fiscal hole there.

Buffett adjusted his glasses, and he looked at the monitor screen in a daze. It's one thing to hear people talk about the return of first- and second-stage rockets, but it's another thing to see the return of rockets flying into space with your own eyes.

Just when the old guy was about to ask, the surroundings suddenly boiled up. Whistling, applauding desperately, cheering. Even William White seemed to be yelling something dirty.

At this moment, it is not something that attracts the world's attention, but it is quite shocking anyway. From the perspective of cost, it is an indisputable fact that the cost of human beings going into space is expected to be greatly reduced.

In essence, humans long to be free from the constraints of the ground. Even if it is a god, it is said that it is flying into the sky and escaping from the earth. You see, Feitian is clearly ahead. When human beings successfully flew, they thought about being able to get rid of the shackles of the earth's gravity.

Well, it's an instinct of all humans.

Now they're told that not only can we do it, but it won't be too expensive. In this way, those seemingly absurd ideas may be realized one day.

But why don't those champagnes open?

What are you waiting for?

"Start data transmission and successfully complete the positioning. Yes, now I declare that Starlink has completed the initial positioning and the data transmission is normal."

Bang bang, bang, bang, finally, the launch hall erupts, and people start pouring champagne on each other.

Christopher turned off the TV and sighed. How should I put it, if there is no jealousy at all, then it is completely bullshit.

However, the resources in William White's hands are far from what he can compare.

There is no constraint, if possible, well, this is just a thought. How many people can be like William White in the world.

If you have money, you are not afraid of wasting money. You know, back and forth, this Tesla rocket, at least billions of dollars have been invested.

Ha ha, if this fellow is not so rich. This so-called rocket power company may have closed down long ago.

Damn it, I should go there in person, Old Ke was a little annoyed. He wasn't Christopher Galvin, it would be embarrassing for him to go, and if Old Ke went, it would be purely a shame.

It's a pity, you are the president after all. It would be really embarrassing if others didn't take the initiative to invite.

See, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Lehman are all well-known investment banks. All executives went to count, and Hathaway's Buffett even came in person.

The underlying meaning here is too obvious, so what, this thing is a commercial activity, so you politicians don't come to show off. Next, the topic of Tesla rockets and Starlink should be a hot spot on Wall Street.

"Where is it so simple? 365 satellites, today there are only four here.

Folks, this is going to be a long-term commitment. It's not that I don't want to inject capital. Let's put it this way, investment is risky, so be careful. "

William White raised his glass to invite him to drink. Although this guy said it was modest, he just glanced at the group of guys casually and concluded. His nonsense is completely tantamount to never saying it.

What Wall Street cares about is never any risk, nor is it any failure. It has been said that the so-called stock refers to the future cash value. Well, this is nothing more than a process of storytelling, as long as the story you tell can move people.

What is a loss?

What is failure?

Need a long investment cycle?

All of these are actually good or bad. If this is not the case, if a monopoly is formed, if this is not the case, how can we have bargaining power.

Buffett looked on coldly, William White's playing hard to get was so obvious, he couldn't believe that this group of guys who were sticky with fur than monkeys would not be able to understand this routine.

However, including him. It seems to have been deliberately ignored.

risk?

What the hell is that, remember, we're just making a commission, and since William White is such a good storyteller, why should we interrupt the process.

Instead of interrupting, he had to push him again. They are very clear that since this rocket succeeds once, it can succeed a second time. In this way, as long as some reasonable operations are carried out, the valuation of this Tesla rocket power will skyrocket.

They regret it now, the previous investment was too little, and the size of this company is too small. For these giant crocodiles, it was like a joke.

But the situation is different now. Obviously, from Tesla to Starlink, this is a very complete chain. It requires a lot of capital and can generate good cash flow. If NASA can nod to join, well, it’s not a big deal, NASA will definitely place an order.

If there has been no competition, wouldn't they be killed by Lockheed Martin. There is a Tesla mess, at least there will be no more price increases.
