Chapter 944: The Lazy Dragon and His Bandits
In early July, Cheongyang University’s surreal inter-school bus detonated the entire social network and traditional media, and also extinguished Ma Yilong’s last trace of luck.
Although I really don't want to believe it, but after several verifications and field surveys, experts from the United States confirmed that Lanshen Technology has indeed mastered the unparalleled ultra-high-speed magnetic levitation vacuum track technology, and it is mature enough to be put into operation .
What makes Ma Yilong even more desperate is that, according to the calculation of the SpaceX engineer, the limit speed of the "Lazy Shuttle" is actually not 7488 kilometers. The reason why it is kept at this speed is to take into account the comfort of passengers. For untrained people, acceleration over 2G is a bit uncomfortable.
And, the acceleration distance of 312 kilometers is really too short.
Generally speaking, during a rocket launch, the maximum acceleration it endures is 6G, and the acceleration for astronaut training is 8G.
Ma Yilong quietly calculated that if he ran a full distance of 312 kilometers with 6 times the acceleration of gravity, his speed would have reached 6.1 kilometers per second. The first cosmic velocity of 7.8 kilometers.
Who the hell said this is an inter-school bus, this is a miniature version of the earth trebuchet, okay?
Unscrew the cap to launch the satellite when necessary!
Ma Yilong, who always likes to beat others with technical marketing and creative integration, felt a deep sense of frustration for the first time.
In his view, Lanshen Technology is a clumsy company. They don't know how to use capital, make gimmicks, hype concepts, fancy investment, or even play their own advantages. It is said that even this " "Lazy God Shuttle" did not go to places like the Ministry of Communications to ask for funds. It was built with its own money, and in the end it was operated with a subsidy!
Any one of them can be included in the negative textbooks of business schools.
This kind of business acumen is probably only at the level of the second grade in elementary school. Ma Yilong, who claims to be a business wizard, can't even look down on him.
However, this is the lazy god technology. It is like a giant dragon lazily lying on the beach, opening its mouth and waiting for the food to be washed up by the tide, and occasionally waving its claws lazily, it will be a sudden change of circumstances and a catastrophe.
And the most correct thing this lazy dragon did was to raise a lot of hard-working servants. These servants kept their eyes open every day, grabbing food everywhere, and went back to feed their lazy master.
For example, the life of the lazy god, and like the lazy god Yafei.
Lao Ma is definitely a character who has plucked his hair, just look at the style of his favorite general Travis, the ad maniac.
NASA experts returned to the United States with a complete report.
A bill was also taken with me, for $299.9 per person per one-way ride.
One dollar per kilometer, the price is actually not bad, and it is not a big deal for rich Yankees, but it is said that someone sat on it 17 times and vomited.
However, the U.S. government paid this money very lightly. The only thing that makes them feel not indifferent is that it has been proved that only Lanshen Technology has the strength to build an earth trebuchet, but Lanshen Technology’s quotation is 90 billion US dollars!
The American expert group and officials and politicians spent about three days to clean up their mood and sort out the information, and then Qin Yafei was invited to the negotiating table again.
"90 billion may seem like a lot, but theoretically speaking, this is a 1,000-kilometer vacuum tube maglev railway, and the cost per kilometer is less than 100 million U.S. dollars. We are already losing money and making money." Qin Yafei said seriously.
The persuasive power of this sentence is very strong.
In the beginning, these officials and politicians who were in charge of the money bag did not understand the true face of the earth trebuchet, and they could not understand the design plan.
But the lazy shuttle bus gave them an intuitive concept.
It turns out that this is an ultra-ultra-ultra-ultra-high-speed railway that is several times faster than the speed of more than 7,000 kilometers per hour!
Not to mention the United States, to build a subway in China, the geology is complicated, and the investment per kilometer basically reaches 500 to 600 million yuan. In the United States, labor costs will only be higher.
How fast is the subway?
Space-level speed, subway price? Is it expensive?
not expensive.
It seems that this project can really be launched, and it is really useful...
Many people's hearts have secretly begun to loosen.
Qin Yafei said with a very serious expression: "The lazy god Yafei really doesn't make money by building earth trebuchets. If you don't believe me, you can find another company to try."
Generally speaking, the larger the project, the more rigorous the cost accounting, the lower the profit margin, but the volume is large, so the profit is guaranteed.
For example, if you build an earth trebuchet machine, Yafei, the lazy god, really doesn't make money, but only tens of billions of dollars.
If other companies want to build it, the cost...well, it has nothing to do with the cost, they can't build it.
This time the profit is not small, but there are many places to spend money.
Nan Ming built a subway without saying a word, operated it for free, donated money when there was nothing to do, and built a lazy seminary that only spent money and didn't come in. This hole is as big as the sky.
Does the money come from the wind?
Qin Yafei actually complained to Nanming, and Nanming's answer was: "Actually, I'm not interested in making money."
In the past, making money was for survival, but later it was for development. Now that you are lazy and technologically advanced, why are you still working so hard to make money?
Qin Yafei almost went mad with anger, you are not interested in making money, so don't spend it either!
You are not just spending money, you are simply a money thief 66666!
But no, Nan Ming is the boss, Qin Yafei can only complain, not refute.
Qin Yafei felt that he had to go against his conscience and try to earn more.
It's really against your will to fool these simple and honest Americans.
Especially in the case of information asymmetry.
"Calculating carefully, your previous budget of 30 billion US dollars can only make a model, which is an irresponsible plan at all." Qin Yafei continued to say seriously.
In fact, 30 billion US dollars is a small gimmick, which is the so-called first-phase investment. After the 30 billion US dollars is invested, it is not completed, and the remaining additions will be endless. Plus, the meat hurts. Do not add, heartache.
But the lazy God Yafei didn't bother to play these little tricks, and Qin Yafei's plot was even bigger.
When a person reaches middle age, he can meet Nan Ming, integrate his two biggest rivals, Suzhan and Xihe, and become a top international construction company. Qin Yafei actually has some lazy temper, and disdains to be with domestic construction companies. Fighting in real estate, even though it is as easy to make money as robbery.
What kind of skill is it to grab the hard-earned money of ordinary people?
If you want to play, play big.
30 billion is definitely not enough, and the members of the expert group have actually begun to agree with this statement.
The people from the Ministry of Finance were still clutching their wallets and didn't want to let go. They bargained like a grocery shopping aunt: "Mr. Qin, this offer is too high. How about less, less, 70 billion? We can only take these money."
"In fact, after the last quotation of 90 billion U.S. dollars, President Nan severely criticized me." Qin Yafei sighed, "The cost of 90 billion U.S. dollars basically has no profit, and even involves a lot of labor costs. Always very displeased with my ability to calculate costs.”
"Actually, I don't plan to come to this negotiation, because 90 billion is really unacceptable." Qin Yafei sighed, "Since you don't agree, that's great, let's treat this business as a blowout, and it won't be too late. Affect the reputation of our lazy god Yafei."
As he spoke, he was about to stand up.
"Wait!" The other party was anxious, "What do you mean?"
All these psychological expectations have been loosened, and the other party is leaving?
Is there such a thing to play?
The "Lazy Shuttle" exhibited by Lanshen Technology has already maxed out the Internet and the media. People all over the United States know that they are going to build such a thing at home. You are so old. What are you going to do?
Especially the lesbian who presided over the negotiations, who is tough on China, does the president still want to be elected?
Qin Yafei saw it poorly: "So we want the right to operate the earth trebuchet."
"Hmm..." As the construction party, I am afraid that the lazy god Yafei will be responsible for a lot of follow-up maintenance work, "Then how much do you want?"
One or two percent is not impossible.
"51%."
"No! Yes! Yes!" The other party's answer was firm.
How is it possible to hand over the control right after investing 90 billion yuan?
Qin Yafei showed a sad expression: "I'm sorry..."
"No matter what, it is impossible to ask Congress to invest 90 billion without control, and Congress will not agree!"
"So, you don't need to invest 90 billion. This project is a project that will benefit the future and should be shared by all mankind. I think countries like Europe should also be very interested. Countless consortiums should have already I'm so hungry and thirsty, why not let our lazy god Yafei take the lead, and everyone distributes control rights according to the amount of investment, and make it a common project for all mankind... How about it?"
The other party was tongue-tied and remained silent for a long time.
But I have to say that now that the U.S. government is increasingly unable to independently undertake huge projects, it is actually the best to find more people to spread the risk.
For example, genome projects, such as particle accelerators.
The same is true for the earth trebuchet. So far, the construction seems to be ok, but what about the output? When will it pay off?
No one can tell.
As long as the United States remains the most powerful and developed country in the world, they are not afraid of losing control, even going to the military.
Before today, Qin Yafei never thought of taking control of this project.
Before that, Lazy God Yafei was just a construction contractor, and did not have the courage to independently host huge projects.
However, Nan Ming, the lazy dragon's completely irresponsible approach, forced Qin Yafei to find a way to make more money.
One day my boss will be unhappy and want to buy the United States? Aren't you going to drink the northwest wind?
Qin Yafei felt that he had to guard against Nan Ming's brain hole.
Qin Yafei heard that the fans of the lazy gods have been divided into the lazy party and the diligent party. He felt that he must be the diligent party, and he could almost be a model worker.
But when Qin Yafei stood up from the negotiating table with a triumphant smile, he suddenly felt a strange feeling that had nothing to do with making money.
Such a large-scale project as the "Earth Trebuchet", which is enough to be recorded in the annals of history, has finally become his pocket. From site selection to construction to operation, he leads and decides.
This feeling of changing the fate of all mankind with a wave of his hand made him finally understand that being too lazy to make money is also a state.
Now, he has achieved, sublimated, and become a real...
The negotiating opponent gently shook hands with him across the negotiating table: "Congratulations, you are such a robber." (To be continued.)
