Mu Yang and the boss had lunch at Xinghai Group. This was also the first time for the boss to eat at Xinghai Group.

Under normal circumstances, after visiting a company, big bosses rarely have dinner with the business owner. No business owner has that honor.

After lunch and tea, we continued to talk about the second topic without taking a break.

Mu Yang said: "Boss, my second request is the idea of ​​a smart city, which requires at least 50,000 acres of land planning."

According to the requirements of the system, it covers an area of ​​at least 50,000 acres (equivalent to 6 kilometers long and 5.55 kilometers wide), and has a resident population of no less than 100,000 people.

If the site is located in a desert or an island, one advantage is that the land is wide enough and the land price is low. Other than these, there are no other benefits. Mu Yang feels that it is a waste of investment and it will be difficult to move the population there.

He doesn't want to build an empty city, so what's the point?

In the end, it is best to choose a location in a first-tier city, but the biggest problem is that it is difficult to find a suitable location in such a large area of ​​land.

At the beginning, Muyang wanted to choose a location near the headquarters base, but it felt like a waste of investment. The location of the headquarters base was not very good. It would be better if it was along the river.

A smart city requires livability, a very high greening rate, materials used in every building to be as environmentally friendly as possible, very intelligent residences, and very advanced supporting facilities such as education, medical care, and sports.

Although it is not a wealthy area, but to guide the final result, with such excellent living conditions, residential prices will definitely be extremely high, and it will definitely be the core area of ​​H City in the future.

For Mu Yang, it can also withdraw funds, not to mention making money, at least not losing money.

A rough calculation shows that if an investment of 50,000 acres is based on the current commercial and residential land prices, the price will be no less than 500 billion yuan. Based on the level of intelligence, the total investment will not be less than 2 trillion yuan.

The boss was surprised and said: "Oh, smart city, this is a good idea. Let's take a look. I'm very curious."

"I have written a plan. Currently, smart cities are still a concept."

Mu Yang handed the printed plan draft to the boss and the remaining leaders on site. There was not much content and there was no time to go into details. Many things were stated in general terms.

Mu Yang was afraid that they would not understand, so he gave an example: "Let me give you an example, like automatic logistics, you can receive express delivery without leaving home. It is not delivered to your doorstep manually. Delivering it to your doorstep manually is not called smart, but it is delivered by a logistics vehicle.

Go to the collection room of the community. The collection room passes through the community's automatic conveying pipeline and you can receive the items at home. Of course, there are restrictions on the volume, and logistics of large items is still not possible.

In other words, it is delivered directly from the logistics warehouse to the collection box at the owner's home using air transport.

Of course, safety issues must also be taken into consideration for air transportation.

There are other transportation methods, and these methods all need to be verified.

Smart logistics systems and the Internet of Things are just common ways of life in smart cities...

As people's living standards continue to improve, it will be normal to have one car per person in the future. Then, parking and traffic will become a serious problem;

Whether our urban domestic waste can be effectively classified, recycled and processed is an urgent problem that needs to be solved...

During the rainy season, floods are likely to occur every few years. Every time a flood occurs, the urban economy suffers serious losses...

Generally speaking, in the smart city system, first of all, the city management is intelligent, and the smart city management system assists in the management of the city;

Secondly, it includes the intelligence of infrastructure such as smart transportation, smart power, smart buildings, and smart security, as well as the intelligence of society such as smart medical care, smart homes, and smart education, and the smart production of smart enterprises, smart banks, and smart stores, thus comprehensively

Improve the modernization level of urban production, management and operation.

Xinghai Group will use its technological advantages to continuously transform this smart city.

Smart cities are not just about building high-rise buildings, but at the same time finding ways to reduce urban investment and operating costs, and making smart cities a template that other cities can learn from and imitate."

Mu Yang recounted that the leaders heard many novel concepts and felt like they were listening to science fiction movies.

The boss expressed concern: "Such a smart city requires a very large investment and the risks are also very high. There is a possibility that this project will turn yellow."

Mu Yang patiently explained: "Yes, but someone has to walk this road.

Let’s talk about transportation issues. We will have more and more cars per capita, and cities will definitely become more and more congested. The existing transportation network can no longer meet future needs. We can’t build roads wider and wider. We

Cities, especially old cities, do not have so much public land, but they are thinking about how to optimize and manage it based on the existing ones.

For another example, the people's life pressure is increasing. Maybe I can't solve the problem of migrant workers buying houses, but at least I can solve their accommodation problem. The rooms may not be big, but at least they have windows, balconies, and independent baths.

They don't have to worry about being evicted by the landlord, and the rent won't be too high. They can stay there as long as they want.

Reduce intermediaries, reduce labor, and reduce management costs.

As long as the residents of this city have no pressure to buy a house or a car, the cost of living and education are not high, they have enough time to exercise, and there are enough free sports venues for residents."

After Mu Yang said this, the boss fell silent.

Mu Yang's idea is too advanced. If it is not done well, it will be a mess.

"Mr. Mu, are you sure you want to carry out such a project? According to what you said, it is possible to invest more than two trillion yuan. If it is abandoned halfway, this will not be a small residential area abandoned, but the equivalent of half a city."

"If this investment relies solely on Xinghai Group, even if it is constructed in multiple phases, the annual investment pressure will be very high; but I guarantee that the first batch of project funds of 300 billion yuan will be transferred into a special account after the project is launched." Mu Yang

Truthfully speaking, for this smart city project, he does not require 100% control, as long as the task is completed.

Therefore, he will also open up investment and accelerate investment and construction, as long as he can maintain a balanced revenue and expenditure.

However, if you want to attract outside investment, you must have something to attract investors, that is, the project can be profitable.

"Well, do you have a favorite location now?"

"Originally we planned to go to the area along the river in Qiantang District, but it is a bit close to the airport and it doesn't feel suitable." Mu Yang replied that that area is currently undeveloped, with more than 50,000 acres of land, and he wants to expand it to 2 or 3 in the future.

One hundred thousand acres of land will do.

"Mr. Mu, that place is really not suitable. There is an industrial zone across the river. It is not suitable to choose that place because the investment is so huge. It is not as good as the area south of Binjiang District." Zhang Wei suggested.

"The south of Binjiang District is indeed good, but it has been developed there and there are even many residential buildings. If it is not demolished, it will affect the overall layout; but if it is demolished, it feels a bit wasteful." Mu Yang said, if it is close to the city center,

That's better, but more will need to be demolished.

"The government of H City will cooperate with Xinghai Group in site selection and even change the city layout. We will investigate after reporting. If it is not purely about real estate, this smart city will indeed serve as a experimental field. Mr. Mu, urban planning is a major event that affects future generations. I

I suggest you do more research and don't jump to conclusions." The boss thinks about the meaning of smart cities. Such a large investment is almost the same as building a new city.

"What the leader said makes sense. At present, the smart city is just a blueprint in my mind. I am 100% determined to invest in the construction, but the location selection should not be rushed." Mu Yang agreed, and the boss was right. He

A little too hasty.

The boss nodded, he was also afraid that Mu Yang would invest impulsively.

Next, the boss felt that the conversation was almost over. The results of this inspection were relatively large, and it was time to leave H City.

After the boss left, Muyang handed over the work of the rocket launch base and smart city to him, set up two project teams, and conducted on-site inspections with relevant departments in H City and Ningcheng.

Xinghai Group's rocket launch base plans to invest 100 billion yuan, which is more than the 20 billion investment in GUO's fifth launch center a few years later. The main reason is that Muyang has higher requirements for the launch base and equipment. If it is just

Building construction simply doesn’t cost that much money.

Xiangshan's climate and latitude are very conducive to the launch of space missions. The surrounding transportation environment is very convenient, which is conducive to the transportation and adjustment of various equipment. In addition, it is close to the ocean, and the debris of the rocket broke away during the launch process.

It can fall directly into the ocean, reducing the risk of debris damaging residents' houses.

And because it is close to the ocean, sea transportation will be very convenient. For some large equipment, which is difficult to transport by road, sea transportation can be completed very conveniently.

Mu Yang called the rocket launch project "Xinghai Rocket Center". As a result, in a few years, GUO's fifth launch center will have to find another location, or it will not need to be built. The original proposed purpose is to meet the needs of commercial rocket launches.

.

Xinghai Group entered the aerospace field and began to select sites for rocket launches. It was still exposed and there was no way to hide it.

"Xinghai Group plans to launch rockets and satellites?"

It has still attracted media reports and attention from various countries, mainly because Xinghai Group, the overlord in the machinery field, has begun to enter aerospace, and the probability of success is very high.

However, there are still many media who are not optimistic about Xinghai Group's ability to launch satellites. After all, there are only a few GUOs that can independently develop rockets and launch satellites. If joint launches are included, there will be several more GUOs.

But when I think about it, in 2010, the rocket developed by Musk's space company successfully launched the Dragon spacecraft into Earth orbit. It was also the first time in the world's history that a spacecraft was launched into space by a private company and returned smoothly.

From such a comparison, it seems that it is not difficult for Xinghai Group to launch rockets and satellites.

In this life, Xinghai Group intervened to provide Tesla with new energy batteries. Xinghai Group and Xinghai Investment Company together accounted for 18% of Tesla's shares. Tesla's development was also very smooth, but due to the Hummer EV

, Tesla's sales are not as hot as Muyang's previous life, and the profit margin is much lower.

According to historical trajectory, Musk will propose the "Starlink" plan this year or next year, which will launch 12,000 satellites into low-Earth orbit to establish and improve global Internet communication services.

In 2020, Musk announced that the Starlink program will launch an additional 30,000 satellites in the future, bringing the number of satellites in the Starlink program to 42,000!

Since the Industrial Revolution, the total number of satellites launched by mankind into low-Earth orbit has been only 10,000. The main reason is that traditional satellites cost a lot of money, and the investment to launch a satellite often requires hundreds of millions or even billions.

According to the traditional thinking model, launching satellites is too expensive, and no GUO company has the ability to occupy space and low-Earth orbit resources.

However, Musk's space company has made a major breakthrough in recyclable rocket technology, allowing the rockets used to launch satellites to be recycled and used multiple times, making rockets no longer disposable consumables, thus significantly reducing the cost of satellite launches.

Relying on the technical advantages of recyclable rockets, Musk launched cheap satellites in batches at the lowest cost under the banner of "public welfare behavior" - the cost of each satellite is only 1 million U.S. dollars, and the total cost of 42,000 satellites is only 4.2 million U.S. dollars.

Billions of dollars.

According to authoritative estimates, the earth's low-Earth orbit can accommodate up to 60,000 satellites. If Musk's 42,000 satellites are launched, his company alone will occupy 70% of the low-Earth orbit resources. Even these cheap satellites

If you don't work, the space and low-Earth orbit will be filled with space, which is a perfect example of "occupying the latrine and not taking a shit".

Once all 42,000 satellites are launched into the sky, the incidence rate of close contact events will reach 90%. By then, space will become a mess and the probability of satellite collisions will increase significantly.

In the next few years, there will be many Starlink satellites arriving at the Chinese space station.

In fact, the country is very dissatisfied with Musk's Starlink, and no one is willing to let those satellites exist.

But so what, space doesn't matter whose territory it belongs to, whoever has the ability can go there.

Mu Yang verbally warned Musk not to launch rockets and satellites. How is this possible?

It is impossible for the other party to listen to Mu Yang.

Xinghai Group interfered in the development of Tesla, causing Musk to make a lot of money, and indeed effectively hindered his Starlink plan.

However, this is far from enough.

In addition, foreigners will never allow Xinghai Group to launch tens of thousands of satellites. It can be said that the government is setting fire to the people and not allowing people to light their lamps, but it is so overbearing.

Since Xinghai Group is not allowed to operate, Musk’s Starlink will also be affected.

However, if the Xinghai Group has developed an aerospace plane, there is no need to worry about the Starlink, it can just fly into the sky and eliminate them one by one.
