Back To 1995: Chapter 813 Change
The moment I saw the news, the science and technology industry knew that Apollo Space Exploration Company had obtained the production line and technology of the RD180 rocket engine, becoming the second company in the world capable of producing heavy-duty rocket engines!
This proves that Apollo's space exploration is by no means empty words, just relying on one mouth to fool people!
When he saw this news, Tom Muller, who had just driven a new car and returned home for Christmas, was also relieved. He felt that the Apollo Space Exploration Company seemed to be stronger than he imagined.
And just when Muller's wife was preparing for Christmas dinner, she came to the living room and saw Muller with a shocked face, watching the news of ICNC TV station, which is the TV channel that Mueller's wife watched most in recent years , especially variety shows, Mrs. Muller, the annual "America's Got Talent" and "America Idol", etc., she never missed it, and she also participated in telephone voting, and at this time, she was still on the TV station, Muller's name was heard.
"The American Space Agency NASA officially announced that it will jointly establish a new high-end scientific research university with Apollo Space Exploration Corporation, ICQ, Alcatel Mobile Phone, PA Semiconductor, Bell Labs, etc.
The name of the school will be Singularity University, referred to as SU College. The concept of the school comes from the "Technological Singularity" thought of futurist Ray Kurzweil. Mr. Kurzweil will be the first honorary student of Singularity University headmaster!
The school will be located in the Houston Space Center. In the future, it will recruit students from 120 countries around the world and train the top scientific research talents. The university funding will be provided by the Bruno Family Foundation.
In the future, SU will offer courses including Internet, electronics, network security, biotechnology, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, law, business school, etc.
Bruno Song will serve as the first chairman of the school, Tom Muller and others will become the first batch of professors hired by Houston Singularity University, and Gwen Shotwell will serve as the vice president...”
Hearing his name and becoming a professor at the university, Muller was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. The richest man in America and the university jointly established by NASA, no matter what happens in the future, it sounds like a big star now.
Becoming a university professor, Muller's reputation can be greatly improved, and he can also get an extra salary. In America, university professors, doctors, lawyers and other professions are among the most respectable and highest-paying professions.
Muller did not expect that entering the Apollo Space Exploration Company would not only increase his salary by a large amount, but also gain both fame and fortune. Although he felt that the bragging on the TV station before made him blush, but he felt that coming to Apollo Space Exploration Company, seems like a good choice.
Not only Mueller, regardless of Song Yang's suspicion of bragging about Apollo Space Exploration Company, but for other executives of Apollo Space Exploration Company, Gwen Shotwell, Thompson, Busa and others The treatment is definitely far superior to that of other colleagues. If you stay in NASA for a lifetime, you probably won't get these treatment.
Jointly established a university with NASA, the office building and experimental equipment of the Houston Space Center were opened to Apollo Space Exploration Corporation, marking the official start of cooperation between the two parties.
Apollo Space Exploration Company has also obtained NASA's brand authorization management authority and media operation authority, that is, the external image of NASA in the future will be in charge of Apollo Space Exploration Company!
After obtaining the brand authorization, the first thing for Apollo Space Exploration Company is to do nothing else, that is, to invite Gwen Shotwell to invite well-known brand companies in various industries around the world to establish joint products. Of course, Apollo Space Exploration received hundreds of millions of "little" licensing fees from it!
Alcatel mobile phone, Panda TV, RICK Group, Sega mainframe, Fortinet TV box, PayPal, etc. took the lead in responding, signed a contract with Space Exploration Company, and obtained the brand authorization of NASA, and all of them are of the kind with a long-term contract of more than ten years.
In later generations, some mobile phone brands co-branded with Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, BMW, Lamborghini, etc., and the selling price of a phone was more than tens of thousands. Compared with ordinary products, it is enough to sell 50% or twice as expensive!
Everything can be co-branded. In the future, there will be more and more cross-border interactions for co-branded products. Things like Montblanc and Doraemon can also be co-branded.
In addition to looking for brand partners to launch co-branded products all over the world, another thing Apollo Space Exploration has done is to make drastic changes to NASA's image, especially on the Internet platform. This is the area where young people gather most.
Apollo Space Exploration Company first established a science and technology exploration channel with ICNC TV station. In addition to popularizing some professional news and knowledge of space and technology industries, the other is to introduce some mysterious news, such as alien flying saucers, Area 51 in America, etc. For details, please refer to CCTV's Approaching Science, as well as Huo Huo's "Top Ten Unsolved Mysteries in the World", "Exploring the Unknown World" and so on.
Regardless of whether it is street stall literature or not, there is absolutely no problem in fooling people. To launch these things, the ratings of ICNC's technology channel are absolutely inseparable.
In addition, you can also use this channel to promote NASA. It’s okay to advertise in a fair manner, using the name of “popular science” to promote Alcatel mobile phones, Panda TV, etc., how advanced they are and how many black technologies they use. After all, These are all "certified" by the TV station. In this year, the news released by the TV station is quite authoritative!
In addition to setting up a TV channel and shouting for NASA, the Space Exploration Company has also set up 510 accounts of various types on ICQ for NASA, except for some high-end projects, which are used to communicate with the outside world. In addition to showing NASA's high technology, there are also some accounts dedicated to publishing some of NASA's daily life. This is the first time for young people to really come into contact with NASA.
Before returning to Houston for Christmas, Lori Javier stayed in Washington, where there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
"Javier, is this the, you say, change to NASA?"
When JaVale entered the NASA headquarters in Washington, he was watching a rocket launch project to send a batch of supplies to the space station, and at the same time, bring the people who stayed on the space station back to the ground.
As soon as he entered, JaVale saw the boss of NASA, pointing to a computer, and asked JaVale with a serious face.
Javier's heart tightened, and he didn't know what happened. He knew that there were people inside NASA who disapproved of his proposition. It's sneering.
After the past, JaVale saw that on the computer, it was NASA that had an account and was broadcasting live on ICQ. Today's rocket launch, but the news released seemed a bit unserious.
"Seven minutes to launch, God bless, it's about to enter the atmosphere, I'm so nervous!"
"Don't leak the air, or Christmas tonight, there will be a few more engineering lions to be sacrificed."
"Merry Christmas, I'm taking off!"
The last news, ICQ account, also used several emoticons to express the mood of crying with joy.
Looking at this obviously dishonest NASA account, JaVale also murmured in his heart, desperately trying to think of words, how can he excuse it.
"Good job Javier!"
At this moment, the boss of NASA suddenly patted JaVale on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This rocket launch has been watched by more than 870,000 people on the ICNC Technology Discovery Channel. This is the most watched NASA rocket launch in the past five years." once!
I don't know much about ICQ, but on the Internet, I heard that there are 5.4 million people around the world watching today's launch, discussing everything today in 128 ICQ chat room groups, and the number of users following this account has exceeded 3 million. More than 280,000 people retweeted the news it released! "
"Damn it, our phone is going to explode today, those little kids who can only draw, actually called and said they want to design a spaceship for us..."
Another director of NASA's public relations news said to JaVale "angrily", complaining, but with a smile on his face. Liga society accepts, especially the younger generation!
"Perhaps, what you did, Javier, is the right thing to do!"
Listening to the constant feedback, the boss of NASA said to Lori Javier that he doesn't care about NASA's cooperation with Apollo Space Exploration Company, or how much extra money it can make for NASA. In his eyes, it doesn't matter. worth mentioning.
It is impossible for Apollo Space Exploration Company or any other competitor to surpass NASA in a few years, and the most important source of funding for NASA can only be Capitol Hill!
What the boss of NASA really cares about this time is that NASA has returned to the attention of mainstream society. The most important thing is that being noticed by young people this time can improve NASA's influence.
"To the Bruno family!"
Houston, in the villa where the Bruno family gathered, an old cowboy dressed in denim raised his wine glass, which opened the prelude to the Bruno family Christmas.
Song Yang also raised his wine glass, and all the members of the Bruno family gathered in the villa, raising their glasses to the old Bruno couple.
After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere of the entire villa suddenly became noisy. Compared with a few years ago, the Bruno family obviously had a group of "new members", all of whom were created by surprise in the past few years.
"To the University of the Bruno family!"
Gallo also howled, and then holding a large glass of wine, he came to Song Yang and said excitedly, "Song, the Bruno family really has their own university, just like Howard Hughes' Rice University?"
Howard Hughes was born at Rice University. His first wife was the founder of Rice University. The relationship between Howard Hughes and Rice University is also extraordinary. Now Rice University is Texas best university, too
Not only Gallo, but other Bruno family members also looked at Song Yang excitedly.
