Chapter 938: Interschool Bus Worth 90 Billion

From Paris to Washington, it only takes 8 and a half hours.

Ma Yilong got on his private plane from the airport and rushed to Washington at the fastest speed. However, while on the way, the news kept coming back.

Lanshen Yafei and Heqing Chuang, a subsidiary of Lazy God Technology, submitted an engineering plan to the expert committee through a member of the committee. The key points that are really announced outwardly.

Because the plan submitted by NASA before made many experts not optimistic, thinking that their plan was not enough to realize this plan.

But the plan given by Lazy God Yafei attracted the members of the expert group because it was extremely feasible.

The only thing that makes these people hesitate is that the lazy god Yafei and Heqing created an unacceptable figure for this plan-90 billion US dollars!

Before, the budget of the entire "Earth Trebuchet" project was only 30 billion US dollars!

Even if it is 30 billion, it still almost drives Congress crazy. In the United States, investing 30 billion in the aerospace field is simply a problem with those Wall Street masters. Half of the congressmen will lose their main sponsors.

And this quotation is the reason why Congress has not approved this project immediately so far, and it is also the reason why all other companies are still lucky.

It's where everyone is crazy.

That's 90 billion!

Ninety billion in real money!

Dollar!

So far, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, who has occupied the world's richest man for countless years, only has assets of more than 70 billion US dollars!

Once you get this money, you can immediately top the list of the world's richest people!

In many YY novels, the protagonists may become the richest man in the world as soon as they open a few golden fingers, but in fact, money in this world is not so easy to accumulate, let alone break through the bottleneck. Tens of billions of assets are real The wealth is incomparable to the country.

From the very beginning to the present, Nanming has created so many miracles. The entire lazy god system is only worth 20 billion US dollars in total assets. This is because Nanming received a large sum of money from the Eslagon family in the United States. And because of Lao Ma's assets.

Even the United States, with its deep pockets, is almost impossible to spend so much money on a project.

However, the 90 billion has almost been taken out, and as long as he puts more effort, he can get a part of himself from the 90 billion.

Money is such a fascinating thing, as long as there is a small chance to take it out, it can attract countless jackals and hyenas who have heard the news!

Some people began to organize their own experts. If they can get a share of this project, they dare not say that they are so greedy and completely occupied like the lazy god Yafei. As long as one tenth, one percent, is enough to make people I took the risk.

Those who have the opportunity to chase tens of billions of dollars are mostly the most powerful construction companies in the world, or the most powerful aviation and aerospace companies, or a combination of the two.

But if you want the U.S. government to take out the money, or if the U.S. government takes out the money, how easy is it to snatch food from the mouth of the lazy gods?

After the news from Washington has gone through several hands-offs, after it really spreads, it will inevitably be suspected of being embellished.

It is said that Mr. Qin Yafei, the boss of Lazy God Yafei, impassionedly stated in front of the Congress the three points that Lazy God Yafei is bound to achieve for this project.

"First, apart from Lanshen Yafei, no company in the world has the strength to complete this project."

"Secondly, Lanshen Yafei can shorten the construction period to less than one year. For every 10 billion reduction in the quotation, the construction period will be extended by one year."

"Third, you don't have to trust us, Lazy God Yafei, but you can't help but trust our technical supporter, Lazy God Technology."

It is said that Mr. Qin, the lazy god of Yafei, stood in front of countless "old white men" and said in a low but forceful tone: "Maybe one day, your children and grandchildren will ask you, Grandpa, you told me when I was young, when I grow up I can go to the moon and travel to Mars, why am I still trapped on this small blue planet when I grow up? Why is the universe so big, but we can only look up?"

"At this point, are you going to tell them the real reason? You're going to tell them, boy, it's because I voted no."

"If you can spend your money on wars, virtual financial products, and Ponzi schemes, why can't you spend it on things that are really beneficial to the future of mankind and to your children and grandchildren?"

"This country once boasted that it had a dream, and called the miracle it created the American Dream."

"But it seems to me now that maybe this country is nothing but a dream, just a group of people who are asleep."

Ma Yilong didn't believe the news, because the pretext of dreams is what he is best at. He likes to sell dreams to people the most, but he knows that dreams will not let those shrewd politicians pay for it. .

No thrills, dreams, or anything else.

What really moves them is the interest.

At the beginning, Ma Yilong's SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing were all NASA's high-level partners, but NASA's "Earth Trebuchet" project was the one with 30 billion US dollars.

Now the "Earth Trebuchet" project has been snatched away by Lanshen Technology and turned into their $90 billion plan.

If this continues, they will lose everything.

But Ma Yilong felt that he still had a chance.

Eight hours later, he just got off the plane, changed a piece of clothes, and immediately went straight to Capitol Hill.

Vehicles rushed towards Capitol Hill in all directions, almost blocking the road. Ma Yilong was so anxious that he could only call a few congressmen he knew well and ask them to find a way.

At the same time, countless phone calls were pouring towards these congressmen like a torrential rain.

Ma Yilong was just one of these calls.

Seeing that the car was completely blocked, Ma Yilong simply got out of the car and ran away. When passing by a street cafe, he saw a few white men and a few oriental faces coming out of the street cafe. He is holding coffee comfortably, wearing an expensive suit, walking and talking like an ordinary white-collar worker.

Ma Yilong saw one of them at a glance. It was Mr. Wilson, who was promoting the earth trebuchet project. He was about to step forward when he heard Mr. Wilson say to the person beside him: "President Qin, you The quotation is too high, 90 billion is impossible, and the United States will not be able to complete the earth trebuchet project without you."

Although Congressman Wilson also hopes that this plan will be completed, he is an American after all and must be considered from the standpoint of the US government.

And at this moment, he was also ordered to contact Qin Yafei and the others, representing the private contact of the US government.

"Except for us, there is probably no other company on the earth that can complete this project." Qin Yafei still refused to give in, "The plan for the earth trebuchet requires several technologies, the first is superconducting technology, the second is superpower Material, the third highly precise and efficient construction method, who else has it besides our lazy gods?"

"It can't be completely calculated like this. The earth trebuchet project uses vacuum tubes for ultra-high-speed suspension trains. As far as I know, our country has accumulated technology in this area for a long time, and the technology is still relatively advanced."

"You're talking about Elon Musk's Hyperloop super train?" Qin Yafei chuckled, "It's not even perfect on paper, you should really look at the intercollegiate shuttle bus between our Lazy Theological Seminary and Qingyang University. "

"What?" Not to mention Wilson, even Ma Yilong, who was overheard next to him, was shocked...

What? What interschool shuttle?

What do interschool shuttles have to do with earth trebuchets?

...

During this period of time, the news of Lazy Theological Seminary has repeatedly spread, and it has become the most watched news hotspot in the domestic education circle.

And the ones affected by this are the old universities before.

It's totally unreasonable for top students not to promise to go to university in Beijing right away, but to wait and see.

Can a small private school be compared with their centuries-old school?

It seems that the only one that has not been affected, and can even take advantage of the enthusiasm for recruiting students from the lazy gods, is Nan Ming's alma mater, Qingyang University, the joint educational unit of the lazy gods.

Want to study at Lazy Seminary?

But what you want to apply for are those subjects that Lazy Seminary doesn't have?

Or, do your parents disagree with you to apply for a private school?

It doesn't matter, come to Qingyang University, Qingyang University and Lazy Theological Seminary jointly run the school, you have me in you, and you in me.

And it's free to enroll, and the tuition and miscellaneous fees are comprehensive!

With such powerful gimmicks and publicity, Qingyang University has recruited many students who want to apply for Lazy Theological Seminary, but do not want to take risks, or their families do not allow it.

However, the admissions of Qingyang University is not completely smooth sailing. In the past few days, the admissions office has received countless telephone consultations from parents and students themselves. There are two hot spots of consultation, one of which is the relocation of Qingyang University Not finished, where will I go to school in the future?

Many of the consultations are local students and parents in Qingyang. Some parents do not want their children to be too far away from them, while some students hope to go out.

The other is whether Cheongyang University, which has split into two main campuses, will be affected by this, reducing the quality of teaching and competitiveness.

For students, the employment situation after graduation is very severe.

Since there are loopholes, there are attackers. Many schools began to point the topic in this direction, and started a big discussion about the number of campuses.

In the United States, the more points the University of California gets, the stronger it gets.

But in China, all universities are getting weaker and weaker, and the smaller the score.

There are never exceptions.

The split of Cheongyang University from one city to two is itself a kind of self-weakening.

This kind of doubt has caused many students to wait and see, and it has also caused many schools to use it as a black spot and try their best to black Qingyang University.

The staff of the Admissions Office reported this hotspot to the principal, Lao Bai. Lao Bai scratched his head and said, "It's time to announce it, our blockbuster."

"I'll discuss it with Mr. Nan and come up with a publicity plan." Office Director Zhao said.

"No, I'll do it myself." Old Bai Le called Nan Ming in a turbulent manner, but Nan Ming said, "It's not the time yet, just wait."

"Wait any longer? Waiting any longer will affect the enrollment." Lao Bai said.

However, Nan Ming still insisted, Lao Bai could only agree and said: "Then I will press it for a few more days."

"Don't worry, it will be fine in a few days." Nan Ming said.

Lao Bai hung up the phone, a little confused.

As far as the impact on enrollment is concerned, the two-day announcement is the best. This set of inter-school shuttle bus system will probably surprise people all over the world.

What is Nan Ming waiting for?

He never dreamed that Nan Ming was actually waiting for the gigantic $90 billion project on the other side of the earth.

He dug a hole and waited for someone to jump into it.

...

Ma Yilong's experience in lobbying the government has always been very rich, and his biggest magic weapon is low prices.

In this world, there is no one who doesn't like cheap goods, and cheap and plentiful, it is simply a big killer.

Ma Yilong is well aware of this.

But at the same time, he also understands that the companies he founded are all Internet and emerging industries, without traditional construction capabilities, it is unwise for him to compete for this project by himself.

So, he pulled in a few allies and formed an alliance together.

Two leading construction groups in the United States, as well as Lockheed Martin and Boeing, two partners who have just established a strategic relationship, as well as some expert consultants secretly supported by NASA, together formed his huge support group, and took out a plan overnight , also began to lobby Congress.

Of course, this plan is just an admission ticket. It is said that Yafei, the lazy god, even designed the trebuchet for the U.S. government. He is completely uncompetitive in the plan.

Ma Yilong is convinced that his three-inch tongue is the focus of this lobbying.

He lobbied a large number of congressmen, and finally won an opportunity to sit with the lazy god Yafei and receive consultation from the expert advisory group.

The two parties sat together in a conference room. Qin Yafei and the others had only five or six people. On the other side, Ma Yilong led a huge team of experts who couldn't stand up. award winner.

Ma Yilong said: "In terms of technical genes, we are the most suitable for this project. Everyone knows that the earth trebuchet is essentially a set of ultra-high-speed magnetic levitation vacuum tube trains."

Only the vacuum superconducting suspension orbit can accelerate the object to the first cosmic speed in the atmosphere.

Ma Yilong tried his best to make himself full of confidence. He looked around, lowered his voice, and said: "You may have heard that there is a company under my name called HyperloopOne, which is also the only one in the world. developers and technology providers. In this regard, lazy gods have done nothing. I have presented this plan to many people in Congress, and I believe many people in this room have heard of it.”

As soon as Ma Yilong's words fell, a small half of the experts nodded. Ma Yilong has indeed made his super train known to everyone, and even has the endorsement of the U.S. Transportation Administration. It is said that there has been cooperation and intention to invest.

Starting from this point, Ma Yilong talked about his own advantages, which made the expert group nod repeatedly. They themselves are more inclined to use American companies to build earth trebuchets.

It wasn't until Ma Yilong felt that the winning ticket was in his hands and showed a relaxed smile that Qin Yafei smiled and threw out a document, saying: "This is the inter-school shuttle bus plan between our Lazy Seminary and Qingyang University. I believe everyone Members of the panel should be interested in this information."

Ma Yilong breathed a sigh of relief. Last time he heard what Qin Yafei said about the "inter-school bus". He used a lot of contacts and investigated, but found that there was no such thing as an inter-school bus.

Moreover, even if there is, what is the inter-school bus? Who doesn't?

If he can get the 90 billion project, he doesn't mind donating a few cars to Qingyang University or Lazy Seminary.

Ma Yilong took over the materials on his behalf and flipped through them, then smiled, and said: "This is just a set of designs..."

"Who says it's just a design plan." Qin Yafei stood up and said, "On behalf of Mr. Nan, I invite all of you to participate in the launching ceremony of the Lazy Seminary-Qingyang University inter-school shuttle bus. The date is set at 10 am the day after tomorrow. Of course, it’s Beijing time.”
