Back To 1995

  Apollo Space Company's valuation broke tens of billions of dollars, which really stimulated many people, and made many technology companies that are struggling to survive even more red-eyed.

   Just such a company that only launched one rocket, the valuation is like blowing bubbles, blowing up to more than 10 billion dollars, which is even more outrageous than when the Internet was at its peak.

  Now is not the market before the Internet bubble burst. In this market, there are still so many giant companies and consortiums pursuing Apollo Space Company, which is really beyond the expectations of many people.

  The technology industry and Wall Street institutions also have a new understanding of Song Yang's gold-lettered signboard, and this time continues the myth of Song Yang's undefeated since his debut!

Song Yang has basically done it, turning all the bragging in the past into reality, and what makes countless people imagine is that the Apollo Space Company is seeing improvement, and the electric car project that has also been questioned will become a reality. Will it be the next outlet? !

Almost at the same time that Apollo Space Corporation received US$1.6 billion in venture capital, Silicon Valley venture capital, Wall Street institutions, old European consortiums, and even pension funds in American states all began to wave money. , approached Siebel Automobile, and wanted to make a venture capital investment in Siebel Automobile.

Apollo space exploration flapped its wings, but it caused a huge storm in the technology industry. The electric vehicle industry was also surging for a while, and a number of electric vehicle brands also emerged. The most eye-catching one is the one just sold. Musk, who founded the X payment company, announced the establishment of the Tesla electric car. At this time, he was looked at by the entire American technology industry!

   With a bang, a golf ball flew high, and then quickly slid towards the ground.

   "Abu Dhabi and other Middle East consortiums hope that in the future Apollo Space Company will be able to undertake the space launch and transportation business in the Middle East and other places!"

  In Song Yang's villa in Houston, a large group of people gathered here. The scale of this villa is definitely not as large as the San Jose manor, but there are also miniature golf courses and miniature baseball training grounds.

On the Houston side, Song Yang didn't want to build another San Jose manor in his old nest, although here, Song Yang had encircled a lot of land through the foundation under the Bruno family, especially with the help of the seven A 100,000-acre rare animal sanctuary, and the Bruno family has encircled large tracts of land in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. …

In the old nest, what Song Yang needs is to win people's hearts and get the support of everyone in Texas. Of course, it is impossible for one person to satisfy everyone, but as long as most of the powerful people, celebrities and most of the people living in Texas The support of people from every community in Saskatchewan is enough!

The bustling people in the villa were noisy. Most of the people who came here today were "our own people", but there were not a few people who came, including Houston Mayor Chuck Rhodes, Gwen Shotwell, and Siebel Motors. Anduran, the president of the company, Stewart, the chief designer of Siebel Automobile, and others were all present.

  The headquarters of Siebel Automobile and Apollo Space Corporation are both located in Houston, and they will stay in Houston in the future. Maybe one day, they may become one of the city's business cards!

Gwen Shotwell talked to Song Yang about the new round of investment in Apollo Space Company. In addition to Microsoft and General Electric, it was unexpectedly the consortium of the oil country, which also joined the investment in Apollo Space Company this time. investment.

Those oil countries in the Middle East, relying on oil, have saved a lot of money over the years. In addition to sending money to their own people, many of them are used for investment, buying, buying, and buying around the world to increase their influence. With the right to speak.

In the past, the consortiums of those oil countries were mostly used to invest in luxury goods, movies, sports teams, and overseas purchases of land, real estate, banks and other large companies’ equity, etc. Basically, regions and countries with rich resources or small areas, They all do this, including Japan, Sweden, Singapore, etc., all invest everywhere in the world. They are afraid that after the oil, iron ore, etc. are sold out, they will become impoverished, or that the island they live in may suddenly sink one day. It’s just that This time, the Petroleum Consortium actually began to invest in the technology industry.

   "In addition to investing in Apollo Space, the consortia of those oil countries have also invested in companies such as Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, and Planet Labs.

in addition…"

Gwen Shotwell hesitated for a moment, glanced at Anduran and the others not far away, and then said, "I heard that Musk is in contact with the consortium of the oil country, and those people intend to invest in Musk's Space and electric car companies!"

Hearing this, the golf club in Song Yang's hand paused for a moment, and then he swung it out again. Musk is now in the technology industry, and he has not reached the point where he raised his arms and everyone responded. Silicon Valley Venture Capital, Wall Street Institutions will not do their best to support him. At this time, overseas investment institutions that can provide him with a large number of US dollars will naturally become his first choice. After all, whose US dollars are not used.

It’s just that you may not be able to see it at the beginning, but if it develops, then for Wall Street institutions, those companies that use dollars from overseas investment institutions are all “heresy” and will not be seen by them. How much you have to talk about, and you will even be treated as an opponent, and you will be short-selling hard. Just look at how Deutsche Bank is treated in America, and you will know how strong the conservatives on Wall Street are.

It’s hard to say whether Musk will become Song Yang’s opponent in the future, but he will definitely not be welcomed by Wall Street institutions. I don’t know how much he will quarrel in the future. Only when the Wall Street institutions are settled can we really start fighting with Song Yang. , But at that time, it is estimated that the Apollo Space Company and Siebel Automobile, which are supported by countless Wall Street institutions, will be faced!

Thinking of this, Song Yang couldn't help looking strangely. Why did he suddenly feel that Apollo Space Company and Siebel Automobile would become "villains" and "big devils" in their respective industries in the future? In the past, these roles were all played by Microsoft. Bear it, why does it feel like this kind of role is beginning to appear on Song Yang's side...

"Now is an opportunity for Apollo Space Company to receive as much satellite launch and space transportation business as possible from NASA and other overseas regions, and even to bear a certain degree of loss. Apollo Space Company must **** the rocket launch market!

Within two years, the Cowboy Commander is expected to implement the new "Federal Space Transportation Act" and the "Federal Space Launch Competition Act" passed on Capitol Hill, which is expected to completely liberalize the federal aerospace industry and allow NASA to completely launch rocket launches Industry, transition to scientific research and development and deep space exploration industry! "

Song Yang said to Gwen Shotwell that Boeing, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and other companies could hear the news, and Song Yang naturally received it. The little cowboy commander wants to implement a new space bill, that is, let NASA withdraw The rocket launch and transportation industry, which is the most profitable and also the most money-losing, will only exist as a scientific research institution in the future.

As for NASA’s missions of launching satellites, transporting materials to the space station, and even launching probes to the moon and Mars, they are also outsourced. This piece of meat is not easy to eat, but if you get it, it is definitely a piece of fat. Now no one follows Apollo Space Company is fighting, as long as it doesn't stretch itself.

"In addition," Song Yang turned his head, "the rocket's recoverable and relaunchable technology must be developed. This is the Apollo Space Company. The next most important thing is to do it no matter how much R&D funds are invested. , Mei Dao, any technician you need can dig it!"

  Gwen Shotwell opened her mouth, she understood what Song Yang meant, would it make sense to her, or other rules and regulations, just want to see the rocket recyclable technology, at all costs.

   This is the most important thing for Apollo Space Company, and it is also the most important thing for Gwen Shotwell. If she can't do it, then Song Yang must change to someone who can!

"I see!"

Although her head was big, Gwen Shotwell gritted her teeth and agreed. Song Yang brought her enough support, such as NASA's support, a Singularity University specializing in cultivating talents in Apollo Space Corporation, and even There is also Lao Maozi's space technology and enough beautiful knives. If she fails to meet Song Yang's request, then she can blame Song Yang, but she has nothing to say when she leaves!

   "Song, I hope you can attend the opening ceremony of this year's Houston Stampede!"

   After Gwen Shotwell left, Chuck Rhodes came over and said to Song Yang.
