Three days passed slowly, and Gao Jin left Nantes for Paris. Since he was here, it was inevitable to hold a cocktail party to consolidate his connections.
By the way, I met some new people. The more connections, the better.
On this day, plenipotentiary representatives from NASA and SpaceX arrived in the Imperial Capital and began negotiations with relevant departments on quotas.
How should the output of 255 tons per month be divided?
Relevant departments have not been idle these days, and have made calculations. In order not to delay the construction of interstellar spacecraft, a minimum of 110 tons per month is needed.
This has become the bottom line for the relevant departments, and it must not be lower than this standard under any circumstances.
Moreover, all three companies have contacted Xingling Group in the past few days, and Xingling Group responded that the production process of this new type of space material is complicated, and only the most advanced No. 7 branch of Xingguang Steel Group can produce it.
If other branches are renovated to expand production capacity, all existing processes in one branch must be demolished and rebuilt. The cost of purchasing equipment alone will not be less than 3 billion euros.
It takes at least half a year to complete the process upgrade.
Now, Xingling Steel Group has received a lot of orders from other customers around the world. Even if it does not receive new orders from today, it will still take a year to complete the orders.
Otherwise, you will face huge liquidated damages!
We are sorry that Starlight Steel Group is temporarily unable to carry out process upgrades and reforms. We hope that the three companies will forgive us!
The Protoss Group is not building interstellar spaceships for the time being and does not need this kind of material. With a monthly output of 255 tons, it is up to the three companies how to distribute it.
The quarrel between the three companies has nothing to do with the Xingling Group. At this moment, Gao Jin has left Paris for Hamburg, Germany. He attended four receptions and held one in Paris. The task has been completed.
After staying in Hamburg for four days, I held a cocktail party and then left, flying straight to the United States.
Going to the United States to inspect Starlight Future Health Company, Renewable Resources Company, Starlight Blizzard Company, and Starlight Pictures, Gao Jin's schedule is very tight.
Gao Jin has been in a very good mood these days, and the negotiations in the imperial capital have begun to quarrel. This is exactly what Gao Jin wants to see.
Let you have nothing to do but think about scheming against my Xingling Group, and in the end you will drink my foot-washing water!
Negotiations with the relevant departments were not going well. The superiors wanted Wei Mingyang to call Gao Jin, but Wei Mingyang refused.
The output of Xingguang Steel Group is only that large, and calling Gao Jin will not solve the problem. The top priority is to negotiate good cooperation. It will not benefit anyone if it is delayed.
Wei Mingyang knew very well that this was something Gao Jin had done intentionally, but he had no intention of trying to persuade him.
You didn't listen to my opinion. Now when something goes wrong, let me wipe your ass. Nothing in the world is so good. Wei Mingyang was holding his breath in his heart.
What's more, Wei Mingyang knew in his heart that Gao Jin had already told him that he had left behind the 50-ton output card, but the 50-ton output could not be called out easily.
Gao Jin had no intention of using the remaining 200 tons of output himself. When the Xingling Group built interstellar spacecraft in the future, they would never use such defective materials.
The latest achievements in storage must be used. The interstellar spacecraft built using this material can be reused no less than a hundred times.
Fifty tons were kept as a favor to Wei Mingyang, and the remaining 150 tons were sold at a high price, US$24,000 per ton. This price was low.
Gao Jin's first stop in the United States was New York, where he inspected renewable resource companies. Now, renewable resource companies have built five large renewable resource ecosystems in the United States.
The profit turned in the year before last was more than 200 million US dollars, and the profit turned in last year was more than 300 million US dollars, showing a gradual upward trend.
Emerson and Gao Jin reported that profits will continue to increase this year, and are expected to be around US$500 million, with the growth trend remaining stable.
Gao Jin stayed in New York for four days, then left on a special plane and flew directly to Los Angeles to inspect Xingmei Film and Television Company.
On the second day of Gao Jin's inspection, he received a call from Musk, "Gao, we need to talk, I know you still have some production left in your hands." Musk said this straight to the point.
Gao Jin smiled and said, "I'm in Los Angeles, come over."
After saying that, Gao Jin hung up the phone and turned to talk to Sommeron about the delicious food in Los Angeles. He was in a good mood.
Another day passed and Gao Jin received a call from Jane. The negotiations with the Imperial Capital were over and the quota document had been sent to the company.
Relevant departments received cooperation of 110 tons, NASA received a quota of 70 tons, and SpaceX received a quota of 75 tons.
"Send a document to Manfred of Starlight Steel Company and ask him to prepare goods according to this quota." Gao Jin said this calmly.
"I understand." Jane agreed immediately.
"There is another rumor. One of the three giants in the relevant department has been adjusted and withdrawn." Jane reported another thing, and Gao Jin laughed after hearing it.
Once the power in your hands is emptied, you will not be able to eat or sleep, and you will be destitute!
For some people, retirement is worse than killing them.
Gao Jin was in a good mood. Sommeron also saw that Gao Jin was in a good mood. He thought of the upcoming industry reception and made a few phone calls at a very fast speed. Xingmei Pictures won the right to host the reception.
.
On the day of the reception, several big guys from Los Angeles showed up, including big guys from many film and television companies, and many celebrities also showed up.
In the evening, Saummeron was very active, and specially arranged for the company's next rising star, Charlie Kelly, to be Gao Jin's female companion. The 21-year-old Charlie Kelly is at the peak of her beauty.
She has already starred in four big-budget films, and her popularity is on the rise at a rapid pace. Arranging her to be Gao Jin's female companion today and creating a little scandal will be very helpful to improve Charlie Kelly's reputation.
It's a pity that Someron forgot one thing, that is, Sonia followed Gao Jin.
Looking for an opportunity, Sonia said in Sommeron's ear, "Wait for me!" Then she gave Sommeron a fierce look and left.
Someron's back was wet and he realized that he had done something stupid!
Gao Jin dotes on the two assistants around him. This is something that the entire Xingling Group knows. Jane and Sonia have high status within the Xingling Group.
If Sonia is offended now, Sommeron will suffer in the future.
In the evening, photos of Charlie Kaelin accompanying Gao Jin to greet the guests were taken. After the reception, the photos of the two of them seeing off the guests together were also taken.
The only thing that made reporters uncomfortable was that Gao Jin left by car alone and did not leave with Charlie Kelly.
It's not that Gao Jin doesn't want to, but Sonia's dissatisfaction is already written on her face. If she stays out all night, Sonia will definitely explode.
Not only Sonia, Joanna, Zhou Zongyan, and Jane, the three women will also explode together. When the time comes, Gao Jin will have a headache.
After the reception, Sonia had already received the news that Gao Jin was leaving alone in a car. She went to take a bath in a good mood. When Gao Jin returned to the hotel, Sonia looked at her watch and saw that the time was within the expected time.
In the middle of the night, Sonia sneaked into Gao Jin's room. The two bodyguards at the door pretended that they had not seen anything. Sonia had tasted all the tricks of revenge.
One night passed, Gao Jin got up early and started exercising. He wouldn't go there today. Musk would go to Los Angeles today to save his energy to deal with this old fox.
Gao Jin finished his exercise at around nine o'clock. He came back, took a shower and had breakfast. He drank tea alone in the room and waited for Musk's arrival.
At around ten o'clock, Musk's motorcade entered the hotel. Sonia, on behalf of Gao Jin, went downstairs to greet Musk and took Musk directly upstairs.
Gao Jin's room was a large suite with a large terrace and a sky swimming pool. He shook hands with Musk and went to drink tea next to the swimming pool.
After two cups of tea, Musk went straight to the topic, "Gao, I know you still have some production capacity in your hands, sell this part to me."
"Thirty thousand dollars a ton, I want as much as I want!".
"Musk, there is no need to beat around the bush when we talk directly. I can only give you seventy-five tons because I can't fall out with NASA yet."
Gao Jin said this very calmly, and Musk nodded, understanding what Gao Jin meant.
"Someone from NASA has contacted you," Musk asked.
"I've contacted them. I'll talk to them over there in Silicon Valley as soon as possible. Things here are basically over. I'll fly to San Francisco tomorrow and the day after tomorrow," Gao Jin said truthfully.
"Gao, what are your thoughts on the interstellar spacecraft? I don't believe that your Xingling Group has not completed the design of the interstellar spacecraft." After Musk finished speaking, he stared closely at Gao Jin's eyes, hoping to get some information.
“The design is really not completed”
"In other words, the first design drawing was rejected and needs to be redesigned. It is expected that the design will be completed this year and construction will not start next year or the year after that." Gao Jin said this calmly.
"I don't believe it!" Musk said this simply.
"You should believe that in terms of the power of interstellar spacecraft, you have mature nuclear power technology. Does our Protoss Group have it?"
"If the nuclear power technology is not up to standard, I will not be able to start the design and construction of interstellar spacecraft."
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he made a very helpless gesture. Musk looked at Gao Jin's face and nodded extremely slowly. Musk really hadn't considered this.
Musk picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Jin and said, "I am bound to win Mars. I hope you can change the planet!".
Musk from the relevant departments in China is not worried, and Musk from NASA is not worried either. Forget about the European side, it will be difficult for them to land on Mars even if they are given another three years.
Only the Protoss Group has always worried Musk. The reason is the terrifying R&D expenditures of more than 60 billion euros per year by the Prostos Group!
Over the years, Xingling Group's R&D funding has never decreased, but the number of patents applied by Xingling Group has been on a downward trend year by year.
It's not that those research institutes have no results, but that the Protoss Group has sealed up a large number of results. This is what Marcus is most worried about!
