Back To 1995: Chapter 805 Do as the Romans do
Chapter 805 Do as the Romans do
Arkady Voloz also knows that as a leading party, Song Yang spares no effort to support Yeadex Company, not doing charity, but cutting old men and leeks from Eastern Europe through Yeadex, and the effect is also very significant.
But even knowing this, Arkady Voloz is still very happy. After all, although what he did is not a fun thing, at least it is considered good compared to those old-fashioned oligarchs. too much.
Mentioning Lao Maozi's space industry, Arkady Voloz shook his head, although the current Lao Maozi still doesn't remember the big bear.
But seeing that the space industry, which was able to compete with America at the beginning, is now in disarray, it can only rely on selling the inventory of the year, such as rocket engines, rocket technology, materials, etc., to make ends meet, Arkady Waugh Ross can't help but feel a little bit embarrassed.
Listening to Arkady Voloz's emotion, Song Yang waited for more than ten years, when the time comes, and looking back at the old man's space industry, it is estimated that Arkadi Voloz is not sighing, but scolding his mother, very Years later, in the space industry, compared to Mao Xiong in the past, the old Maozi is not stretching his hips, but running thinner.
Of course, there is also the American space agency that also pulls the hips. In the 1960s and 1970s, America’s moon landing program was so perfect that even Mao Xiong could only stare blankly.
As a result, decades have passed. NASA in America launched a rocket to land on the moon. After ten years of preparations, the air leaked when it was launched. No matter how advanced the rocket is, Before the launch, I was blown into the sky by various things, but every time I ended up pulling my hips, people have to doubt that the American space agency is still as hot as it was back then...
After another ten years, Lao Maozi's aerospace technology, talents, and rocket engines are basically completely outdated, but now, what Lao Maozi inherited from Mao Xiong can still be used after picking up and tinkering.
Musk's SpaceX space exploration company also sought to buy Lao Maozi's rocket engine in the past. NASA has also purchased the RD180 rocket engine in recent years. After all, this thing is cheap, durable and resistant to manufacturing, and it is cheaper than the rocket engine produced by America. .
Song Yang shouted in front of the media that he wanted to play space exploration, so he must have to do something, and he hoped to explore bit by bit from scratch, but he didn't know, it would have to wait until the year of the monkey.
As for relying entirely on the American Space Agency, whether they are willing to cooperate with Song Yang is still a matter of opinion. Back then, Musk’s SpaceX did not come up with anything. When he came to ask for cooperation, he also touched his nose in front of NASA. Hui, Song Yang didn't think he could get any benefits by going up rashly.
There is even the possibility of being slaughtered for a fortune. In America, space exploration is inseparable from orders from the American Space Agency. Just relying on space tourism, satellite launch orders, etc., is too unstable It is difficult to support a space exploration company.
But before cooperating with the American Space Agency, Song Yang must also have some chips in his hands, otherwise it will not be a cooperation, but will be slaughtered as a winner!
"You also know that I want to establish a space exploration company, and I need some engines, technologies, and engineers related to rockets. Arkadi, I hope you can help me find some technologies and talents in this area from the old man. !"
Song Yang looked at Arkady Voloz and said, "I heard that the RD180 rocket engine of the Lao Maozi Space Agency is very good. If possible, I hope that the space exploration company established by "us" can obtain the license to produce the RD180 rocket engine. License, of course, for this, the Space Exploration Company can pay enough to buy that production license!"
Nominally, Song Yang’s upcoming space exploration company is cooperating with Yeadex Company. Of course, some of the honors and records obtained by this space exploration company belong to Arkady Voloz.
Obtaining the technology of the RD180 rocket engine is equivalent to Song Yang's space exploration company. With its own foundation, it can use this rocket engine as a prototype to develop its own engine and conduct launch experiments. In addition, it can receive from the American Space Agency. Orders, space exploration, various gold swallowing beast industries, no need to enter but not exit!
By the way, you can also play with the star chain of the old horse. This thing is also a sharp weapon for cutting leeks. Let alone whether it is practical or not, as long as you blow it well, it can cut leeks much more than the Iridium project that Motorola is launching.
Arkady Voloz's throat moved. Song Yang said to him "speaking earnestly and sincerely", but he knew that there was no room for him to refuse.
"I see!"
After a while, Arkady Voloz agreed. Compared with other requests, Song Yang just asked Arkadi Voloz to buy a set of rocket engine technology from the Maoxiong era, which was not too much. embarrass him too much.
In the past few years, Song Yang has spent at least one billion dollars in Yeadex every year, sometimes more than that. Is it too much for Xiaowa to ask Arkady Voloz to return something? !
This is not an embarrassment to Arkady Voloz. Now is the most chaotic time for the old man. No one cares about buying a few technologies. A large sum of money might make Lao Maozi's space agency live a less miserable life and retain a little bit of vitality.
Song Yang patted Arkady Voloz on the shoulder and asked him to stay in the manor and rush back after having a dinner.
Song Yang spent several days in Los Angeles with Monica Bellucci. The crew of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" had to go to the Italian peninsula. It was also before Christmas that Song Yang rushed back to Houston.
As in previous years, since the Bruno family established a family foundation and gave out dollars to people surnamed Bruno every month, the members of the Bruno family have been very concerned about coming to Houston during the holidays.
Especially after adding new members, because each additional child means that they can get an extra subsidy from the Bruno Family Foundation, and get tens of thousands of dollars a month, and live in America. comfortable.
When Song Yang returned to Houston, he heard that there were already many members of the Bruno family living in the old Bruno's side of the farm.
When Song Yang returned to Houston, Christmas was approaching, and the major technology companies in America also began to take vacations and distribute benefits, year-end bonuses and the like.
This year is a year of the bull, whether it is for the Nasdaq stock market or major technology companies.
The major Internet companies that are not short of money have begun to compare benefits. As the company with the highest market value in the Internet industry today, ICQ announced that it will issue three months of salary as a year-end bonus for its employees, and for technical personnel. Talk to the executives, provide half a month of subsidized travel vacation for the whole family!
Don't look at the low salary for three months, but you must know that ICQ's global employees now total more than 60,000 people. In addition to paying for ICQ headquarters staff, they also need to pay for American Telecom, ICNC TV, NBC Group, Comcast TV Network and a large group of employees have to pay year-end bonuses and benefits. In this wave alone, the cash flow on ICQ's books has dropped by nearly half...
Of course, the employees get three months' salary year-end bonus. What's wrong with the management, it's also embarrassing. In addition to reimbursement of half a month's travel expenses for the whole family, the management above the ICQ department supervisor has reached more than half a year's salary. Salary compensation as an incentive.
As the CEO of ICQ, Irene also received a bonus and rewards that fit her status. In addition to an annual salary worth eight million yuan, the bonuses and year-end bonus that Irene received this year totaled more than one thousand Five million, officially becoming the most expensive professional manager on Wall Street!
After ICQ’s bonus and dividends this time, the capital chain is already quite tight. Once the market is not good, the stock price drops or the revenue drops, ICQ’s financial situation will become very bad.
Of course, that is something to worry about next year, and it has nothing to do with Song Yang. It is something that Immelt needs to worry about. He also received more than 11 million dollars in "hard work" from ICQ this year!
Besides, this year the entire Internet industry is playing like this. If ICQ doesn't play like this, wouldn't it seem out of place.
