Chapter 155, Hot Moon Tourism
In a desert in Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, a group of luxury cars were running continuously in the desert at a fast speed. The lasing sand left faint scratches on the car, and the tires began to smoke.

If this were for ordinary people, they would definitely feel distressed to death, not to mention that these cars are casually expensive luxury cars starting at several million dollars, but these local tyrants don't feel distressed at all, and they still have a great time playing.

Inside the luxury cars, local tyrants in white coats brought their cheetahs, lions, tigers, falcons and other pets, galloping at high speed and playing wantonly.

Behind all the cars, a strange car followed slowly, so that other cars had to drive back and wait for it from time to time.

This strange car has neither the streamlined design of a supercar nor the bright colors. It looks more like a specially designed construction vehicle with robotic arms and so on.

In the car, Prince Muhammad used a virtual machine to control the car to follow slowly, and from time to time, he also controlled the engineering vehicle brought back from the moon to plan the ground on the sand, cut stones, etc., looking very proud.

As the first person in Saudi Arabia to land on the moon, he was treated like a hero when he returned home. His status has risen in a straight line, and he has now been promoted to the head of the newly established Saudi Space Agency.

His favorite thing is to show off the lunar engineering vehicle he brought back from the moon. Although the lunar engineering vehicle does not look very good, it cost him 2000 million dollars to buy it. Used on the moon, it is very collectible and commemorative.

What's more, the technological content of this engineering vehicle is quite high. Being able to work in an airless environment like the moon itself is the use of a lot of advanced technology in it. There are just a few, which can also be regarded as a global limited edition.

Compared with the many limited-edition luxury cars in his garage, Prince Mohammed now prefers this slow-moving lunar engineering vehicle. Every time he drives out, he attracts attention and is his favorite way to show off. People said, "This is what I brought back from the moon!"

Being able to travel to the moon and drive a lunar engineering vehicle on the moon after returning is something worth showing off in a world full of local tyrants. After all, it takes a lot of courage to go to the moon alone. Of course, now There are many rich people who want to travel to the moon, but the first to eat crabs in everything is respected.

"Muhammad, is there really no danger in traveling to the moon?"

"Can there be any danger? Didn't you see that Dennis was alive and kicking when he went to the moon in his 70s? Don't worry, China's space technology is very powerful."

"Is there really mountains of gold and silver everywhere on the moon?"

"Of course, I'll show you the Huaxia Moon Mine I visited. It's not a big moon mine, and it's just started mining resources. Now it can produce thousands of tons of precious rare earth mines a day. What do you say? Are mountains gold and silver?"

"Do you have any guidance on moon tourism? I'm also planning to go on the moon."

"I have already sent you Zhang Xianzu's contact information, you can contact him yourself."

In the virtual world, Prince Mohammad is very busy now. Some of his friends keep asking him about moon tourism. He has been to 11 rich people on the moon. The whole journey to the moon is live broadcasted. Let countless people on the earth experience a wonderful journey.

After they came back, they showed off in their circle of friends. Of course, they were not showing off their wealth. As the first group of people who traveled to the moon, they were also very popular in the upper class. Wherever they went, other rich people would look at them differently. Naturally, it is also indispensable to ask about the feelings and related details of the trip to the moon.

……

Far away in the imperial capital of China, Zhang Xianzu is standing in his office and is constantly busy. Since he came back from the moon last time, he has become extremely busy. The lunar tourism service launched by "Future Star" is very popular now. Every day, there are countless rich people who call and send messages from all over the world to consult.

"Well, someone is looking for me."

In Zhang Xianzu's mind, he is always connected to the virtual machine. The virtual world connected to this virtual machine is connected to the global network. The chat software in it is now more popular and the chat world launched by Penguin Group.

"Prince Harmandan from Saudi Arabia wants to talk to you, do you accept?"

"accept!"

"A prince in the Middle East? It turned out that Prince Mohammad introduced him, and he should probably consult about lunar tourism."

In his mind, Zhang Xianzu, who was connected to the virtual world, had a thought, and the picture in his mind changed instantly, and he entered a brand new chatting world. This world is full of stars, and a galaxy stretches across the sky. It is one of the most expensive chatting worlds launched by Penguin Group The price of "Starlight" is as high as one million Chinese coins.

"As expected of a local tyrant in the Middle East, everything is as long as it is expensive."

In Zhang Xianzu's mind, this was the first thought that came to Zhang Xianzu's mind. Although he was also a rich second generation, and he also worked hard and earned billions by himself, but compared with such a local tyrant, he was still reluctant. Spend millions to buy a virtual chat world.

"His Royal Highness Prince Harmandan, nice to meet you."

When Zhang Xianzu entered this virtual chat world, he immediately saw Prince Harmandan, a Middle Eastern man with classic cartoon colors, and Zhang Xianzu could tell at a glance that this was a specially customized cartoon character.

"Mr. Zhang, it's nice to meet you. I don't take the liberty to bother you today."

Prince Harmandan also showed a smile on his face when he saw Zhang Xianzu.

"I'm looking for Mr. Zhang today. I'm here to learn about travel to the moon. I want to travel on the moon. I wonder if Mr. Zhang can help arrange it."

There is no nonsense, Prince Harmandan is also straight to the point.

"Of course there is no problem, but there are so many people who want to travel to the moon now, the list for the next trip to the moon is already full, and you may have to wait for the third batch."

Zhang Xianzu had also expected it beforehand. The world's richest people he didn't know before came to him during this period of time, basically they wanted to travel to the moon, so it was not surprising at all.

The first batch of lunar tourism was very successful and won a very good reputation, so now lunar tourism is very popular among the rich circles around the world.

Naturally, Zhang Xianzu contacted the Huaxia Space Administration non-stop, and regularly organized lunar tourism activities. The number of people in the second batch was expanded to 50, and the time was set in a week, and the ticket price was as high as 2 million US dollars.

But this still can't stop the enthusiasm of the rich people in the world for moon travel. In just a few days, 50 places in the world were sold out, and a huge amount of 100 billion US dollars was transferred to the account of their own company.

The first batch of Zhang Xianzu's "Future Star" companies basically did not make any money, because the company's shareholders used various relationships to get through the relationship with the space agency.

However, starting from the second batch, the "Future Stars" are going to make money, and they are making a lot of money. Of course, the bulk of the ticket price of 2 million US dollars is still taken away by the National Space Administration, but the "Future Stars" are still You can also earn $5000 million, and a trip of 50 people can earn $25 billion.

The time is only 2 days, earning 2 billion U.S. dollars in 25 days, this profitability is quite scary, and the shareholders of the entire "Future Star" are excited one by one.

As long as you come here a few times a month, you can easily earn tens of billions of dollars. Even if you pay taxes in the end, there is still a considerable profit.

Of course, the biggest profit is still the country. Not only has the space agency obtained huge funds, which has greatly eased its own financial pressure, but more importantly, the development of space industrialization has played an important role in promoting the development of China's space science and technology. has an unparalleled importance.

It’s just taking them to the moon to have fun. There is no problem for the space agency at all. The large sum of money obtained can build more aerospace planes, further expand Chang’e City, and greatly promote China. The development of science and technology and economy can be said to be profitable, so the Huaxia government also attaches great importance to and supports this matter.

"What? I heard that you have 50 quotas for the second batch. How come they are full soon?"

When Prince Harmandan heard this, he immediately frowned. He wanted to go to the moon to see it earlier. Since the first batch failed to catch up, the second batch will catch up anyway.

"Yes, although there are more places in the second batch, they are fully booked in just 2 days, and now there are only 100 places left in the third batch of 14 places. If His Royal Highness does not make reservations now , then you may have to wait until the fourth batch."

Zhang Xianzu nodded slightly. Many bigwigs on the earth who have become rich through technology, and many rich people in Western countries are quite adventurous, so lunar tourism is very popular now, and many people sign up every day. The third batch Places will be fully booked soon.

"It's too fast, please leave me 5 places, how much is a place?"

Prince Harmandan was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that there were only 14 places left, he quickly booked 5 places with Zhang Xianzu.

"Okay, the cost of one spot is $2 million, and the total of five spots is $5 billion."

When Zhang Xianzu heard this, his heart immediately became happy. The third batch of places was almost sold out, and it was time to start planning the fourth batch of lunar tourism.

PS: Ask for tickets, all kinds of requests!
