"Ha ha, why? Of course, it's to develop my interstellar exploration plan!" Paul Allen said with a smile, "you know, since I was cured, I have cherished my life all these years. I've been to almost every place on earth. No, just now I secretly climbed Mount Everest from Tibet. "
"Wait!" Lin Feng quickly stopped, "you said you climbed Mount Everest? From Tibet? It's all from Nepal! Why are you from Tibet! Besides, you're a celebrity. You're going to climb Mount Everest. That's not the crazy world news report. Why didn't I hear about it? "
"Ha ha, I said it. It's a secret climb. Secret climbing, how can it be known by the outside world! " Paul - Allen a white eye, "as for Nepal or Tibet, as long as you can get to the top of the mountain, which side is different!"
"No, no! It's better to climb in Nepal. Your health is not good, from Tibet, how to go. Besides, this season is not right! " Lin Feng looks puzzled.
"Stupid! Did I ever say I was climbing? I went up by helicopter. " Paul Allen has a white eye.
By... By helicopter? Lin Feng was completely speechless. Is this called climbing? And what helicopter can get to such a high place?
"A helicopter is fine. Pick a day with the least wind and put me on it. Is it hard? It's not hard at all Paul Allen shrugged. "It's so small to stand on. It really broadens my horizons! "
Lin Feng was completely speechless. You take a helicopter to go up, this, say, don't say it's you, even if it's a quadriplegic person, it's OK. But what's the pleasure of climbing like this? This is totally boring!
"Why don't you understand?" Paul Allen shook his head.
"At my age, can I still go to Mount Everest? Definitely not. I want to climb up. I'm afraid there's only one result. I'll die on it. So, why do I want to die! But I wanted to see the beautiful scenery, so I chose to go up by helicopter. What I care about is not the climbing process and the sense of accomplishment after conquering Everest. What I care about is the unique wonder of Mount Everest. That's all Paul Allen explained.
Lin Fengwen said that this reason is acceptable. Indeed, everyone's point of view is different. You don't have to do what others do. You just have to do what you want to do. As for whether there is criticism from others, just ignore it.
"Besides, the scenery of Mount Everest in October is not comparable to that in April and may." Paul Allen laughs.
"Well, I won't talk about it with you. Take the money!" Paul Allen reached out again.
"Well, I said, I have already given you the money. I've invested tens of billions of dollars, and you've asked me to invest in it, and you've taken out tens of billions, hundreds of billions of dollars at one time. Why! It's money Lin Feng feints anger.
"Hey, you're in a hurry with me. Even if it's your money, it's nothing. If you have so much money, it's better to be cheated. There is a causal cycle in China. I don't know what it means, but it probably means that if you pick up $100 today, you may lose some money tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, or in some places. is it? You've made so much money this time. It's all fast money. If you put it here and invest in star exploration, even if you throw it in or lose it, it's also helping you eliminate disaster, isn't it? " There's a bit of a twist in Paul Allen's words.
Lin Feng shook his head in silence. This Chinese culture needs to learn a lot.
"Well, I won't tell you that. Let me invest, but how to share the profit? And what about investment? Why do you have to spend so much money? " Asked Lin Feng.
"Ha ha, it's easy to share profits. If you invest another 100 billion dollars, I'll let you take 80% of the shares. As for investment, I'm building a spaceship. A spaceship that can reach the moon and come back. Of course, I'm going to build another international space station, a private one. This all needs money, a lot of money. Don't even think about it without $100 billion. And in the world, you're the richest. I'll come to you naturally! " Paul Allen laughs.
"In other words, my assets are only a little over $2 trillion, and there are tens of trillions of dollars of consortia on it. Don't you look for them?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"They? No interest. It's my personal hobby. It's just my personal pastime. I'm not going to go to those lucrative consortia. It's no fun to find them. That will make them degenerate. And you're my friend, so naturally I'm looking for you! " Paul Allen snorted, scorning the consortia.
Lin Feng ha ha a smile, in the heart also put down the heart. He was really afraid that Paul Allen had anything to do with those consortia. In that way, I will be passive. It's best if it's not related.
But is that a 100 billion dollar investment? wait! Lin Feng's mind suddenly moved. Well, it seems good, good, really good. Only in this way can I solve my biggest problem perfectly! Yes, that's it! Good, good!
"Well, Paul, how's your building going? When will the spaceship take off? " Asked Lin Feng.
"That's fast. Over the years, with your great investment, the overall structure of the spacecraft has been completed. Within six months, we can take off. And it's definitely safer than any spaceship on earth. After all, we are privately funded and employ the most professional and excellent scientists. This space strength is not inferior to that of the country. As for the international space station, if you are willing to invest money, it will be built soon. " Paul Allen laughs.
In the 1960s, the US space agency was able to land Americans on the moon and come back. Its space technology has been very developed. Although it can't take people out of the solar system, or even the planetary belt of the earth, the technology of going back and forth to the moon is very mature. As for why the United States has not continued its research and development, the question is simple and meaningless! NASA's funding comes from government funding, which needs to be approved by Congress.
The vigorous development of international space technology was constrained by the cold war with the Soviet Union after World War II. That's why the so-called "planet project" has been vigorously developed. Now that the Soviet Union has collapsed and Russia has come to power, the United States has no rivals on the planet. In today's earth, there is no civilization invasion outside the earth. In this case, financial allocation can be simplified.
If the financial allocation is less, the talent will not be able to stay. With so many talents graduating every year, they can't all go to NASA. Where are all these people? Naturally, they were recruited by other western countries, and of course most of them were recruited by private companies. And the biggest of these is Paul Allen's interstellar exploration company. Of course, without the financial support of Lin Feng, Paul Allen's personal financial resources would not be able to support, and his company could not be so large. But with the financial support of Lin Feng, it's totally different.
Therefore, the plan of landing on the moon is completely feasible. International Space Station, there is no problem. Everything needs money.
"Well, I have about $600 billion of spare money in my hands, most of which I can still use. I'll give you 200 billion dollars to invest in your international space station and spaceship. But you have to make sure you can go to the moon next year! " Lin Feng said.
"200 billion dollars! FUCK! Lin, you are so forthright! Don't worry, you may not feel the power of folk science and technology in China, but in the United States, the most cutting-edge science and technology is in the hands of folk or private companies. The state doesn't! " Paul Allen heard Lin Feng's figures and said excitedly.
200 billion dollars, which is enough to build a complete international space station. With the international space station, he can enjoy the universe outside the earth in the future. In his life, up to now, he has experienced everything that can be experienced on earth. Life, has not too much fun. That's why he invested in interstellar exploration to make his life more meaningful. However, previously constrained by funds, now with the huge financial support of Lin Feng. His future life is so interesting.
"Lin, if you want to invest 200 billion US dollars, I only need 5% of the shares, and the rest are yours!" Paul Allen said, "I need this 5% share, and I want to have management power. What do you think? "
Interstellar exploration is now Paul Allen's focus, he has no desire for other. If Lin Feng wants all the shares or management rights, his life will be meaningless. Therefore, although they have a good relationship, they must speak clearly, even if they are unhappy.
"That's no problem. What I value is the later income. Not management! Besides, I think your management is better than mine! " Lin fengxiao said.
"That's OK, no problem!" Paul Allen took a long breath. Otherwise, if Lin Feng wants to manage, his dream will be difficult to realize.
"Well, I'll post the money to your account later. But remember, next year must be able to take off Lin Feng said.
"Don't worry, it's no problem. In the 1960s, we were able to land on the moon. Lin, now it's almost 50 years. With the rapid development of science and technology in the past 50 years, if we can't land on the moon safely, it's too impotent! " Paul Allen shrugged and looked relaxed.
50 years of scientific difference is enough to solve a lot of problems.
