Chapter 1313

In fact, freen's idea is very simple, that is to use his own contacts to find a group of interested investors, and set up a similar fund by imitating the alien colony foundation of tiancangwu (tau star in Cetacea) on the land boat.

The only difference is that he will set the target outside tiancang 5, preferably closer to the solar system.

And, the fund will be publicly available.

But it's because the idea is so easy to come up with.

When he came to the biggest commercial bank on Wall Street with materials and prepared to go through relevant formalities, he was surprised to find that there was already a long line in the hall.

And judging from the clothes and costumes of those people, it is obvious that they are not here to get money

Do not worry about the long line of several commercial banks on Wall Street. As Mr. freen predicted, the opportunity came to the headlines on Wall Street on the day when the news of the establishment of tiancang five foreign star system colonial fund hit the headlines. The whole world was shocked by this sudden news!

"It could open up a whole new business model!"

Paul Krugman, a well-known Nobel Laureate in economics and Economics on ABC TV, said excitedly in an interview with finance and economics.

"In the past, most of our investment activities were carried out on an annual basis. In addition to the trust products that evade the inheritance tax, even the investment products that are considered on the basis of long-term income seldom plan the income over a hundred years."

"In the short term, compared with other hot projects with more investment value, it is not a wise choice to focus on the aerospace field, or even a small profit. But if we focus on the future of a century or even several centuries later, the short-term unprofitable aerospace industry is actually closely related to our future, and this fund will help our aerospace industry get on track at a faster speed. "

"So, this is actually a public welfare cause?" the host asked earnestly

"Not completely," Paul Krugman shook his head. "To be precise, it's a long-term investment with a public interest attribute that will benefit all mankind because of his generosity today."

"When more social resources are concentrated on the development of external space resources, we will enter the gate of the interstellar era at a faster speed."

"At the same time, although the investment is marginal or even unprofitable in the short term, it can bring him huge returns in the future - there is no doubt about it."

Host: "but Can anyone live that long? "

"It's really a problem," Paul Krugman nodded, "but he can designate his offspring as beneficiaries."

"If hyperspace theory makes it possible to sail at the speed of light, we have every reason to believe that in a century's time, colonization of the new world will be possible."

"I even have an idea that this plan can be combined with the freezing dormancy plan. After all, normal people may not live that long, but if they really want to devote themselves to the cause of interstellar colonization..."

"It may be a good choice for ordinary people to donate their property to the aerospace industry in exchange for a" ship ticket "in a century, and then freeze and sleep until then."

In fact, it's not just Paul Krugman who takes this into account.

Investors, including Mr. freen, who have already lined up in the banks of Wall Street, apparently thought of it early.

Almost the morning after the news was published, many commercial banks in the United States issued a similar alien colony fund.

The idea of making money for these funds - or the idea of publicity is almost the same, that is to choose a beautiful and not too far away potential livable galaxy as the destination and the cover of the publicity posters, and to tell stories around this beautiful planet and consume people's vision for the future.

But it's interesting that some companies really intend to launch a colonial ship in the future.

Therefore, considering that the competitors are too strong, most of these funds have bypassed tiancang 5, which was chosen by land boat, and chose some South Gate 2 (4.24 light-years away from the solar system) or other K-type main sequence stars such as Tianyuan 4 (10.7 light-years away from the solar system) as the targets.

For these stars, the prices offered by various funds are also various, even full of entertainment spirit.

For example, a certain colonial fund that will be set up in bilingxing can get a resident card of bilingxing colony and an "economy class ship ticket" to bilingxing for only $10. If you pay $1000 more, you can enjoy the first class seats and take one more person aboard.

At the same time, the price of tickets increases at an annual growth rate of 5%, which means that an economy class ticket needs $10.50 in a year and $1315.01 in a hundred years.

Of course, once the tickets are sold, they are not refundable, but they can be traded in the second-hand market to other interested people, just like those enterprises selling shelter tickets before 2012.Other funds use land as chips. For example, in addition to the tickets to the new world, for every $100 extra, you can get a square kilometer of land in the colony, whether you want to build a house or grow crops on it.

Of course, all of these, no matter how "attractive" the terms are, are things that can only be realized 100 years later. What's more, there are a series of risks, such as "competitors take the lead", "poor operation, bankruptcy and bankruptcy", "future policy changes", etc., which may turn their vouchers into waste paper.

So even if the outer space colony fund is serious and serious, even if it has NASA or space-x as guarantee, it is difficult for investors to be serious.

However, even a lot of issuers didn't expect that these seemingly unreliable funds were welcomed by many people unexpectedly after they were issued.

Although it's almost impossible for the vast majority of people to survive to the interstellar age after a century or two without freezing dormancy, it doesn't seem too bad to spend $100 to buy a beautifully made alien citizen's card and the land ownership certificate on the nearby star?

Although I don't expect to live to have a chance to set foot on my own land in a hundred years, it's still quite cost-effective for those who don't need money to be able to talk after dinner.

Of course, there are also some serious people who will carefully study and identify which funds are really in the layout of the alien colony program 100 years later, and which funds are purely for entertainment.

For example, an old Texas farmer named Joseph spent $1 million to take a picture of 10000 square kilometers of land on the nearby star and gave it to his six-year-old grandson as a birthday gift.

This incident caused a huge sensation in the local area, and even attracted reporters from the next city.

In an interview with the reporter, the old farmer was very happy to be able to show on TV with his farm, he said cheerfully to the reporter's microphone.

"This is a long-term investment. I plan to give these lands to my grandson and pass them on as family heirloom!"

Reporter: "don't you worry that this money will not be cashed in the future?"

"This is a small probability event. I chose Citibank as the fund issuer, and I have studied their investment plans carefully. Although their strength is not the strongest, it seems to me that they are the most hopeful to succeed in the end! "

Reporter: "what are you going to do with this 10000 square kilometers of land?"

"Do you still need to ask? Of course, farming! This is 10000 square kilometers of land with permanent property rights. My descendants will become the richest farmers on the neighboring star. Ha ha, they will thank my old ancestor! "

Looking at the bright smile on Mr. Joseph's face, the reporter smiled awkwardly and continued to ask: "but But how do you know that the soil and climate on the nearby star are suitable for farming? "

"I don't know, but intuition tells me that it's not harder than going faster than light."

Shrugging his shoulders, Joseph's face looked confident, even blind.

Facing the interview, he continued.

"Whether you go to another planet or not, you have to eat."

"I believe that as long as we have the conditions to go so far in the future, the scientists who study seeds will always find a way to solve these problems. If we don't grow corn and potatoes at that time, it's OK to plant local specialties!"
