"The interstellar era is not so easy to enter. There are many problems that are difficult to solve." Xiao Yun said noncommittally, and Zhang Hongbin smiled and said nothing.
There are some things that I cannot tell Xiao Yun first due to the principle of confidentiality. Now global technology has entered a crossroads. Whoever can seize the opportunity will be the overlord of the interstellar era.
According to internal analysis data, Xingling Group already has fully mechanized farming capabilities.
To put it bluntly, Xingling Group already has the ability to rely on machines to complete the entire process of agricultural planting and harvesting without the need for manual labor.
This kind of ability cannot be triggered by the Star Spirit Group, and the mechanical dog is the best proof.
Every country in the world has its own unique technology. If all countries in the world openly and honestly unite to enter the interstellar era, it can be said with certainty that Mars can be developed within ten years.
Although this conclusion is exaggerated, it also indirectly shows that it is a certainty that mankind will enter the interstellar era. All that remains is that this day will come one day earlier or one day later.
More importantly, the earth's environmental pollution has reached its limit. From the fact that extreme weather has increased year by year in recent years, it can be seen that it is only a matter of time before the weather gets out of control.
Therefore, entering the interstellar era has become the only way out. On this point, the major powers basically have a consensus.
Currently, the two largest space companies in the world are Gaojin’s Protoss Group and Musk’s SpaceX. These are two huge variables.
Day after day passed, and early that morning, a long convoy of high-end commercial vehicles from the administrative department of Xingling Group drove into the Four Seasons Hotel, picking up the presidents and general managers of each subsidiary to go to the headquarters to attend the annual meeting.
Last year, after Shan Xiangyun asked Gao Jin for instructions, he sold all the company's original high-end commercial vehicles.
These cars have been used for seven years, the interior decoration is a bit aging, and the various configurations have become a bit outdated. They no longer represent the face of the Protoss Group.
After the vehicle is disposed of, all funds from the sale go into administrative expenses and are used by the administrative department.
The headquarters of Xingling Group directly allocated funds to repurchase thirty high-end commercial vehicles, all of them Hongqi brand. The purchase price of a single vehicle is 800,000.
This is the result of a certain big boss's matchmaking. The reason is very simple. Xingling Group is the largest private enterprise in China, and it needs to support domestic production.
Looking at the largest companies in various countries, the vehicles in the corporate administration department are basically high-end vehicles produced by local companies in the country. Only by working together can the sales of local car companies be increased.
Once car companies have sales, they can allocate more funds for research and development.
There were many big names. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gao Jin agreed to this matter and purchased thirty Hongqi high-end commercial vehicles.
Not to mention, after so many years of development, the quality of Hongqi cars has been greatly improved, as well as vehicle stability and interior decoration configurations.
At Gao Jin's house, Sonia helped Gao Jin tidy up his tie like a little daughter-in-law. She looked at Gao Jin and said, "Boss is so handsome today. He has a mature charm."
"You mean I'm old?" Gao Jin looked at Sonia and said, Sonia smiled and did not answer.
Gao Jin looked at himself in the mirror and realized that he was already over thirty and it was time for him to mature. Time is not forgiving.
Soon, the two of them went downstairs and got in the car together, and the motorcade slowly drove out of the house and headed towards the headquarters of Xingling Group.
Today, everyone working at the Xingling Group headquarters is dressed in elite attire. Starting a few days ago, the administrative department has launched a major inspection of appearance.
Anyone who fails to pass will be fined 100, and three points of the year-end bonus will be deducted.
More than 100 people have been fined and deducted points.
You don’t care about a hundred yuan fine, but three points will be deducted from your year-end bonus points. No one dares to be careless. Sometimes, one point can determine your year-end bonus income of tens of thousands of yuan.
All of them had tidied themselves up before going to work, with polished leather shoes, neat suits, neat hair, white shirts and blue ties, each one looking more energetic than the other.
In the past, those in the R&D department wore casual clothes all day long, but these days, they have begun to become more formal.
When Gao Jin's motorcade entered the headquarters of Xingling Group, the presidents and general managers of various subsidiaries were already waiting in the conference room, including some senior officials of Xingling Group.
There are only three senior executives from the headquarters who are qualified to participate in the annual meeting, Guan Hongsheng, Zhou Ziru, and Jiang Zhenliang. They represent the three major departments of personnel, finance, and legal affairs respectively.
The vehicle stopped at the door of the main building. The bodyguard came over and opened the door. Gao Jin got out of the car, followed by Sonia. Gao Jin strode towards the main building.
"Hello, Chairman," the beauties at the front desk said politely when they saw Gao Jin coming in. Gao Jin smiled at them, nodded, and walked into the elevator.
Soon, the elevator stopped at the conference room floor. Two bodyguards walked out of the elevator first, followed by Gao Jin.
There were two security personnel standing in front of the conference room door. When they saw Gao coming in, they held the handle of the conference room and pushed open the huge conference room door.
The senior executives of the subsidiary company who were still whispering immediately stopped talking and stood up, and Gao Jin strode into the conference room.
The door to the conference room was immediately closed.
At the main seat, Gao Jin sat down. "Hello, Chairman." Everyone said this in unison.
Gao Jin glanced around and waved his hands, and then everyone sat down.
"Everyone, we did not hold an annual meeting last year, but we are gathering together again this year."
"Last year, many companies achieved record profits despite the global economic recession. This was due to many reasons."
"but"
"I think this has something to do with them optimizing the corporate structure in advance and eliminating useless personnel to improve efficiency."
"In the past three years, the number of employees at Xingling Group's headquarters, the number of employees in various subsidiaries, and the number of employees in major research institutes have all shown a downward trend."
"With fewer people, our efficiency has not decreased, but has hit a new high!"
"The orders from the headquarters are strictly implemented. I am very relieved about this and yearn for greater glory!"
"What makes me most relieved is that the Space Group achieved profitability last year, which was beyond my expectation."
Gao Jin laughed when he said this, and everyone else laughed too. They all knew that after the success of the Space Group's enterprise-class space station, it received an order for four sets.
Although I don’t know the cost, based on my understanding of the chairman, an enterprise-level space station will not be sold unless it earns 5 billion to 8 billion euros.
After everyone's laughter subsided, Gao Jin tapped his fingers on the heavy conference table a few times, and the huge conference room quickly became quiet.
"Everyone, I don't know if you have noticed, but the pace of our Xingling Group's entry into space is not far from that of Musk's SpaceX company."
"The biggest difference right now is that we haven't launched a spacecraft to send people to Mars."
"If we were a listed company, I would complete this project at all costs. Unfortunately, our Xingling Group is not a listed company."
“There’s no need to pull this stunt.”
"Look at the current SpaceX company. It spends up to 500 million US dollars every year to send food and water to Monica Colin, the first person to land on Mars."
"This is the price of doing gimmicks"
"The space company successfully completed its planned plan last year, so this year, I will put forward new requirements for the space company."
"First, launch a communication satellite from the Earth to Mars and establish a data communication channel between the Earth and Mars."
"Second, launch an exploration satellite to complete the scanning of the Mars surface and prepare for future landings on Mars."
"Third, complete the design work of the second-generation enterprise-class space station, which requires the ability to fly to Mars and store the survival supplies needed by a six-person team for 18 months."
"Fourth, the number of qualified astronauts will be increased to one hundred"
"Fifth, complete 692 space experiment missions!"
"Sixth, complete the delivery mission of four enterprise-level space stations!"
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he glanced at Situ Pingfan, Qiao Yuanshan, and Harrigan. The three of them immediately stood up and said in unison, "Promise to complete the mission."
Gao Jin nodded and looked at the three of them. He hesitated and continued to speak, "Although the positions of the three of you are clear, you lack the overall coordination ability. Now I will make new appointments."
"Qiao Yuanshan, appointed as general manager of the space company"
"Situ Pingfan, appointed as deputy general manager of the space company and general manager of the space base"
"Harrigan, deputy general manager of the space company, concurrently serves as the general manager of the Dorenado Space Base"
"I hope the three of you can work together to speed up the progress of our Xingling Group's space project!".
After hearing the appointment, Qiao Yuanshan spoke directly, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely cooperate with Situ and Harrigan to speed up my space company's entry into space!".
"Chairman, please rest assured, I will definitely cooperate with General Manager Gao Qiao Yuanshan." Situ Pingfan followed suit.
"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely cooperate happily." Harrigan also expressed his position.
Situ Pingfan and Harrigan both know very well what Qiao Yuanshan's true identity is. They are both juniors in front of this powerful man.
They had no objections to Gao Jin's appointment, and Qiao Yuanshan's strength convinced both of them!
"Very good, I'm looking forward to your performance!" Gao Jin said this with a smile, waved his hand, and asked the three of them to sit down.
Everyone started to applaud and congratulate the three people, and everyone was shocked in their hearts.
The several tasks that Gao Jin just mentioned are not easy to complete. If the space company can really do it, in the future, the Protoss Group will have a place on Mars.
You know, when the International Space Station still existed, NASA only had a dozen space experiment projects a year.
At this moment, the space company is completing more than 600 space experimental missions a year. It is completely conceivable how much this will increase the space technology of the Protoss Group.
Space companies are closing the gap with SpaceX.
With the continuous accumulation of various space technologies, it is not impossible to surpass SpaceX or even NASA.
Thinking of this, many people found that they had underestimated the group's space project. The chairman's entry into space was really not just for fun, but had a clear goal.
