Chapter 1807 Work Hard for the Dream

Just when everyone at the scene was shocked by Li Mu's lofty ambitions, Li Mu took a sip and said with great devotion:

"The reason why human technology will move forward is nothing more than three huge factors: profit, war and dream."

"The enlightenment of modern technology comes from the industrial revolution, and the driving force of the industrial revolution is the pursuit of greater profits by business owners;"

"Nuclear technology, which brings new and clean energy to all mankind, originated from the great impetus of the Second World War on weapons technology;"

"The rocket technology that helped humans launch satellites and explore the moon and other celestial bodies also originated from World War II;"

"The Wright brothers built airplanes to allow humans to fly, relying on the dream of flying in their hearts."

"In this peaceful age, as entrepreneurs, we have made too many efforts to pursue profits, now it's time to work hard for our dreams!"

For Li Mu, the exploration of Mars is nothing if not done. If it is to be done, it must be done.

It doesn't matter even if this project needs to cost hundreds of billions of dollars. After all, this kind of investment is like repayment of a mortgage, and the pressure is not too big to spread over 20 years of investment.

As long as people can be sent to Mars in their lifetime, this thing is done.

From now on, I am like Armstrong, and it can be regarded as a great precedent for mankind. In the next hundred years, in addition to leaving a few companies and a few entrepreneurial stories to the world, I can also leave a legacy for mankind. Such a feat, I believe that even hundreds of years later, he will still be remembered by the world.

Li Mu is not trying to make a name for himself, but thinks that after a person's life and spiritual needs are solved, his level will naturally rise to the next stage.

When you have money that you can't spend no matter what, how to use this wealth becomes a problem in front of you.

He now has several large-scale companies. Among them, Makino Technology has even done business all over the world. He has also invested in many companies with potential. In the future, it is easy to be worth more than one trillion US dollars.

However, how can a trillion dollars be spent?

If you insist on buying a million houses, or hundreds or thousands of large passenger planes, it is meaningless. No rich person would spend such money.

Buy property in every place you like in the world,

For Li Mu, it is nothing more than ten villas. Even if he buys mountains, islands, seas, and land, how much can he spend?

As for planes, isn't one or two enough? If not enough, three or four are always enough, right?

Other luxuries are no longer luxuries in the face of trillion-dollar wealth, but rubbish.

In equal proportions, a super limited edition Hermes of $100,000 is nothing more than 1/10 millionth of the total wealth.

Buying such a Hermès is like a multi-millionaire buying a lollipop for a dollar. This kind of thing is not considered a luxury.

So, what to do with the rest of the money?

There are two paths for conventional operations. First, inheritance for future generations.

Like those rich people in Hong Kong and the United States, they put out large sums of money to set up a fund for their descendants to ensure that each descendant can get a lot of living expenses from the fund every month. When there is a lot of funds, the world will be diversified. Allocate funds, and then add strict restrictions on the use of funds. As long as the global economy does not collapse as a whole, it can basically be maintained until the demise of mankind, but Li Mu does not want to do this. Such a good basic dish, if you can still get food without food, then such descendants deserve to have a hard time;

Second, donate all to charity.

Donation is of course no problem, but charity is to teach people how to fish, not to give them fish. I have never seen that rich man directly give out tens of billions and wave his hands to the poor all over the world, and more is to take money To donate to education, medical care, create more jobs, and stimulate the economy of backward areas, so charity also needs to spend a lot of energy, step by step like starting a business, and it is impossible to use all the money to do it charity.

So now you can plan ahead for the third way: do something that will last forever.

Elon Musk also thinks the same way. He is even more extreme than Li Mu and is willing to gamble all his wealth for this matter.

...

Soon, Li Mu's decision to explore Mars and immigrate to Mars shocked the whole world.

Before him, no rich man had publicly made rhetoric about space.

As soon as Li Mu opened his mouth, he offered at least 10 billion US dollars to support this project to become a reality, which really shocked ordinary people.

For a time, the media all over the world were reporting on Li Mu's space dream, and Li Mu himself announced on his Weibo Twitter that he would officially recruit space partners to the world.

In his words, this project may not bring huge cash returns to investors, but it is indeed an extremely meaningful event that can even go down in history.

For those millionaires who are worth billions of dollars, the pressure to participate in a wave is not that great.

Li Mu will not let them pay for nothing, as long as the funds raised are more than 10 million US dollars, they will receive continuous exposure of the entire immigration to Mars project, which will also have a good publicity effect on the funders themselves.

What Li Mu didn't expect was that the first person to follow up on his own investment immigration to Mars project was Google's Larry Page.

Larry Page immediately announced on his Weibo Twitter that he will invest 1 billion US dollars in the immigration to Mars program in the next 20 years.

Since being abused by Li Mu, Larry Page has regarded him as an idol in his life. After seeing Li Mu's press conference, his first thought was: FUCK, awesome! Such an awesome thing, I want to participate too!

Now Google's stock price is rising gratifyingly, and it is escorted by Li Mu. In the future, in addition to the Chinese market, Google must have no rivals in other markets, so in the future, its worth will be at least 10 billion US dollars, even tens of billions of US dollars, 1 billion The US dollar commitment can be said to be relatively cautious, and if economic conditions permit in the future, I will continue to add it.

Li Mu's business partners also followed suit. At Wanying Real Estate, Song Liang, Chen Ze, and Wei Lan decided to use 20% of their personal income for the next 20 years to support the plan to immigrate to Mars. Li Mu only needed 10%.

As for Muye Technology, Master Lei, Senior Brother Liu and other senior executives also signed a 10% pledge agreement.

When they made a decision, Li Mu repeatedly explained that he did not make any demands or demands on this kind of thing, and don't feel that he had voted. Everyone should make a statement. It depends entirely on their own situation and thoughts.

The feedback to him, though, was that everyone was excited about the project.

Even if you don't see the success of your investment project in your lifetime, everyone is still willing to give it a try!
