Chapter 349 Outrageous Rumors

Space travel is too far away for ordinary people.

Even in an age when social media is prevalent, all kinds of rocket parameters and cutting-edge information can be found on the Internet, and SpaceX's rocket launches are even broadcast live on social media.

But only a few people are truly able to participate.

For the vast majority of Chinese people, the launch of the Guangjia means that China's commercial space agencies can now launch space stations.

In the past, this has always been the power of major powers. Even the so-called participants in the International Space Station, such as Europe, Neon, and the Maple Leaf Country, have not actually undertaken any important tasks. To put it bluntly, they are more of a funding provider.

Pure gold coins satisfy their national self-esteem.

Although it is called international, in fact it has nothing to do with international at all.

If we have to talk about the contributions made by countries other than America and Russia, perhaps the only thing we can talk about is that the huge robotic arm on the International Space Station came from the Maple Leaf Country.

The other contributions are very lackluster indeed.

China's self-media have produced a lot more material when making videos, including how foreign netizens view the successful launch of a space station by China's private commercial aerospace agency, how foreign netizens view the technological competition between China and America, and so on.

These materials, which are full of topics just by hearing the names, can bring hundreds of millions of views to Bilibili.

But this is indeed too far away from most people. Given China's huge population base, less than one in ten thousand Chinese people can eventually get on the Light Armor.

On the contrary, the program "We Go to the Universe" in the past two years, which was funded by Guangjia Aerospace, selected by China Aerospace, and filmed and edited by Tencent, is closer to the public's life.

Guangjia Aerospace is just a civilian commercial aerospace organization with limited development time and many of its infrastructure is incomplete.

Therefore, after the space station was officially included in the plan, Guangjia Aerospace realized that they had to train their own astronauts.

No matter how much you rely on robots in the later stage, you still need to have your own people on them.

For a long time, the Light Mech was unable to achieve full robotic operation.

Whether it is selection or subsequent training, or even the space suits that astronauts wear after going into space, all of these have to rely on external agencies, namely China Aerospace.

At that time, under the leadership of Lin Jia, the entire selection process was specially recorded, and a deal was negotiated with the video production platform.

In view of the "good" cooperative relationship during the past "Kuala Lumpur Memories" series, the entire program was sold to Tencent as a package and counted as the first season.

If there is any follow-up, Tencent has the right of first refusal.

Lin Jia sold it for a high price of 100 million.

Tencent also has a bit of a gambling nature. The cost of one of their travel variety shows can reach hundreds of millions, because they have to invite celebrities. This type of variety show also has a fixed audience, and they are also very mature in finding advertisers in the market.

There are mature models for cost and pricing.

On the contrary, this kind of astronaut draft is really the first in history. The head of the department in charge of this matter at Tencent was very hesitant. Instead, the executives of Tencent directly said:

"Sign it, what are you worried about? Will Guangjia Aerospace let you vote? Or will they let us send representatives to be judges and ultimately participate in the scoring? Do we need to have a say?
What are you thinking about? This is to select astronauts, who will eventually go to space, so the standard cannot be low.

As for whether it can make money, one hundred million is certain to be made. Don’t you think that there are other platforms in China that can produce this kind of space reality show?

After we do it, can iQiyi, Bilibili or Youku convince China Aerospace to cooperate with them to shoot one?

In terms of scarcity, there is no problem with this show.

Even without discussing scarcity, and just discussing advertising sponsors, I am sure these companies will go crazy to grab the product placement resources of this program.

Can the quality of these advertisers be compared with that of past variety shows?

Just by having the Guangjia Aerospace logo at the beginning of the program, it is such a great publicity effect that these advertisers can appear in the same program with the Guangjia Aerospace logo.

Whether it is domestic new energy vehicle brands or domestic and foreign digital products, these companies that seek to instill core technology in consumers will all rush to advertise. "

The executive saw through the essence of the matter very clearly.

However, what he didn't expect was that the person who offered the highest price was not the one selling cars or mobile phones as he thought, but the one selling milk.

That’s right, Mengniu and Yili fought it out at the investment promotion meeting for this program, and in the end Mengniu offered a sky-high sponsorship fee of 1.5 million yuan, exceeding Yili’s 1.2 million yuan.

After hearing about this, Lin Jia felt sad that he had to pay back what he had taken out of Tencent in the past in this way.

Why are those who sell milk more crazy than those who sell other electronic products? This is because in the selection of astronauts, physical fitness is the most intuitive and will be repeatedly emphasized in the program.

How classic was the advertisement of Xizhilang's "Grandpa I want to be an astronaut"? This is implanting in the minds of consumers. Astronauts equal good health. The astronaut talent show is sponsored by Mengniu, which means Mengniu equals good health.

Therefore, the investment was recovered just from Mengniu’s sponsorship fee, not to mention other additional advertisements.

Although Tencent Video had already edited the video, it had to wait until this year for the successful launch of the GuangMe Space Station to start its large-scale release.

The astronaut audition is much closer to the public, and everyone is very involved. The first episode of the program has just been aired, and personal super topics for the handsome astronauts have been established.

“Hello everyone, I am Xiyin, welcome to watch this episode of Xiyin Sees the World.

As we all know, the biggest news this week is that Guangjia Aerospace successfully launched the core module of the Guangjia space station into the preset point, which is the so-called Lagrange point L1 of the Earth-Moon system stability point. After the core module entered the preset point and successfully recovered most of the Shenzhou-Guangjia rocket, this launch mission was successfully completed.

This time, our channel is honored to have Ms. Lin Jia, CEO of Guangjia Aerospace, to be interviewed by us. Let us give her a warm welcome! " Li Xinyin pretended to be flattered and clapped wildly.

Xiyin Kanshijie has been one of the top 100 up-hosts on Bilibili for three consecutive years, and is jokingly called the most upscale channel by Bilibili friends. The reason is that with Lin Jia as the investor behind the channel, it can often invite guests of sufficient importance.

Among them, Lin Jia has only appeared on their interview program.

Every time Lin Jia was interviewed, the comments in the video were all "Stop pretending, I know you two are best friends."

"Hello Xiyin, just call me Lin Jia." After sitting down, Lin Jia greeted Li Xiyin naturally and squeezed her hand. If it weren't for the show, even Lin Jia would have felt a little unfamiliar. "Mr. Lin, how do you feel now?" Li Xiyin asked.

Lin Jia said: "I am very happy and excited. This is a very far-reaching goal and we have only taken the first step.

But it was a step forward after all.

These days, when I work overtime and get home very late, I always look up at the sky over Shenhai to try to find the moon. Sometimes I can find it, sometimes I can’t. I have a magical feeling that there is a space station belonging to us between the earth and the moon.

This feeling can really make you feel very accomplished, more than any collection. "

Rich people like to buy collectibles not only for the purpose of increasing their wealth, but also largely because of the emotional value.

This kind of wealth is nothing. What I have cannot be bought with money. This kind of psychological superiority is the deep-seated reason why these wealthy people spend a lot of money at auctions.

So later, real estate developers went overseas to buy core assets in so-called developed countries in Europe and the United States. This was also a kind of psychological satisfaction. I have passed the stage of buying cars and watches. Look, I have a building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Saying this casually to similarly wealthy friends makes one seem extremely pretentious.

This is also why Lin Qinghua was so envious when he heard that Lao Wang bought a piece of land in Beverly Hills. Why can I only afford Irvine, but you can buy Beverly?

Lin Jia took this psychological superiority to a new level. I have a space station between the earth and the moon. It's not just any location, it's a Lagrange point.

Li Xinyin has been dealing with wealthy people for many years and has interviewed many entrepreneurs. She knew the subtext of Lin Jia's words as soon as she heard it: "Indeed, this kind of satisfaction cannot be brought by other collections.

I would be so happy just to buy an Hermès bag, but if there was a space station in space named after half of my name, I can’t even imagine how I would feel.

Mr. Lin is still too modest. If I were in their place, I would definitely point out what is there to anyone who comes to see me, even if they can't see anything. Look, I have a house there, and you are welcome to visit my house in the future.

Others ask where? Isn't that in the sky? Then you say yes, it's the first Lagrange point of the Earth-Moon system, you are welcome to visit.

Maybe only Musk can come as a guest." Li Xiyin boasted that he really provided enough emotional value.

After hearing this, Lin Jia laughed happily, "Haha, I also thought about doing this, but I was afraid of being beaten to death so I gave up."

"So will you go there and take a look?" Li Xinyin asked.

Lin Jia said: "Of course I would have this idea. I am quite curious about space, and I would definitely be interested in building a space station myself.

You should be able to see on the official website of Guangjia Aerospace that our plan for Guangjia is to build a small city that can accommodate 500 people within three years, which also means that we will carry out some space tourism projects.

Help those who are interested in space station tourism to go up for a visit and vacation.

So after the conditions are met, I also want to go up and take a look myself.

But he might still be a little scared. You know, Yuan Guang faces too many threats in real life. He may not have the chance to go on board the Guangjia in his lifetime. If he goes, what if a missile shoots him down in mid-flight?
It should be fine if I go, so I think I will go.”

Li Xiyin immediately asked: "Are you worried about similar risks?"

Lin Jia thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so, because from America's perspective, I can be replaced, but Yuan Guang's role cannot be replaced."

This segment will definitely not be broadcast on domestic video platforms.

Fortunately, Xiyin Sees the World is a channel that spans Bilibili, Tik Tok, and YouTube.

Because she is able to interview many big names, she has over a million followers on YouTube.

As China's influence grows, Chinese people all over the world will pay more attention to what China's business elites think.

Not to mention that Xiyin can often interview Lin Jia when he sees the world, and occasionally even Chen Yuanguang.

Therefore, Xiyin Sees the World also has a lot of audiences on YouTube, and they can see this clip.

"Yes, are you a little worried about the continuous launch failures last year?" Li Xinyin asked: "I saw the rumors about the failure of the light armor space launch last year. The myth of light armor spaceflight is no longer there, and scientific research will eventually return to the track of objective laws.

Do you ever worry that, as if there have been rapid progress every year in the past, it may only take you one year while it takes others three years.

I have also seen similar statements on foreign websites. They called this Wright Magic and said that Wright Magic has disappeared and the White House no longer needs to worry.

As a result, this statement was soon overturned by the HBM artificial intelligence technology launched by you. Then the blogger said that instead of seeing such a disruptive technology as HBM, it would be better to let Wright Magic continue to be limited to the aerospace field.

And indeed, in the aerospace field, the magic seemed to be gone in the last year. Are you worried about that?”

There are simply too many bloggers on the Internet who have ill intentions towards the University of Tokyo. After the failure of the light armor space launch, all kinds of rumors were said, and various conspiracy theories emerged one after another.

Some say that the light armor aerospace technology comes from the official accumulation of China, and it will be gone after the accumulation is used up.

There are also claims that the Light Armor Aerospace technology was stolen from SpaceX and NASA.

The more outrageous statement came from an Indian, who said that when Wright was studying for his doctorate at MIT, he had an Indian senior brother, and that Wright stole all of his scientific research results from that Indian senior brother. However, that senior brother was an Indian who advocated peace, so he did not pursue the matter with Wright. Now that the scientific research results have been used up, Light Armor Aerospace no longer has magic.

In short, there are all kinds of opinions.

After HBM came out, these guys shut up, and the YouTubers who supported Americana were wailing even more.

“Of course not, because Guangjia Aerospace is already on the right track. Our annual losses are very small and we are close to breaking even.

Even if we have losses, I will not worry too much as long as the annual losses do not exceed 10 billion yuan. At worst, we can go to the A-share market for financing.

Because this means that we have enough capacity to keep the business going. As long as Light Armor Aerospace can keep going, our goal will be achieved sooner or later. I don’t really care about the speed.”

Li Xiyin was horrified after hearing this: "If Guangjia Aerospace goes public on the A-share market, it will be the largest listing in the history of the A-share market, with an initial market value of at least one trillion. The funds raised are estimated to create a significant gap in the A-share market. Wait until my fund recovers its investment before you come back."
