Chapter 498 Not Short of Money Please subscribe, please give me a monthly pass. Thanks. In the memorandum, in addition to emphasizing that Saudi Arabia has the right to purchase the Lunar-class spacecraft as soon as possible, Saudi Arabia also reached another agreement with New Star Company. New Star Company will consider building a satellite launch site in Saudi Arabia and use Based on this satellite launch site, a space city belonging to the Saudi royal family will be built for Saudi Arabia. In addition to being the world's largest oil producer, Saudi Arabia also has the world's largest conventional oil reserves. According to the current mining progress, there will be no problems in mining for several more decades. But the problem is that Saudi Arabia cannot rely on oil reserves for hundreds of years. One day, the oil will be mined out. By then, what will the Saudi royal family and people live on? Even now, Saudi Arabia feels threatened. In the past, various new energy sources emerged in endlessly, but these energy situations did not pose a substantial threat to oil, and Saudi Arabia did not need to be too anxious. Moreover, Saudi Arabia is not without preparations. In addition to extracting and exporting oil, they are also engaged in research on new energy. Saudi Arabia also has technical reserves in new energy. But now it is different from before. Sun Zesheng has built a photochemical hydrogen production plant in China and has put it into substantial use. In addition, new fuel and No. 3 fuel have been put into use for a long time. If the latter two have a positive promotion effect on the petroleum industry, the former is a complete impact. The royal family of Saudi Arabia dare not imagine what it will be like once photochemical hydrogen production plants are popularized around the world. By then, Saudi Arabia's oil exports will be greatly affected. At the very least, the oil export price will fall sharply, resulting in a sharp drop in the income of the Saudi Arabian royal family, a decline in the people's quality of life, and perhaps even the royal family's right to rule. will be greatly affected. The royal family of Saudi Arabia has been trying to reverse this unfavorable situation. The introduction of photochemical hydrogen production plants is important to Saudi Arabia. It's not cost-effective. Their oil resources are not exhausted, so there is no need to introduce photochemical hydrogen production plants. It is no fun to fight against yourself. There is OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, English abbreviation opec) in the oil market, which has always occupied a proactive position in the global oil market, and in OPEC, Saudi Arabia is a pivotal member. The royal family of Saudi Arabia hopes to continue this situation that is very beneficial to Saudi Arabia and has set its sights on the moon. The helium-3 resources on the moon are also valuable to them. According to scientists' estimates. The helium-3 resource reserves on the moon are probably enough for human use for 10,000 years. No matter who can seize the opportunity in this battle for space energy, they can occupy a leading and dominant position in the global energy market. Because of the existence of Sun Zesheng, the possibility of Saudi Arabia wanting to lead the development of helium-3 resources on the moon has become relatively low. However, following Sun Zesheng, drinking some broth, and grabbing a larger piece of cake, Saudi Arabia still has a lot of potential. hopefully. to this end. The Saudi royal family is willing to pay a relatively high price. Isn't it just money? This is what we Saudi Arabians are most in need of. As long as helium 3 can be pulled back from the moon, let alone a mere 100 billion US dollars, even if it is several times more, it is still affordable. What¡¯s more. This US$100 billion is not in vain. As long as a space city belonging to Saudi Arabia can be established in space, then Saudi Arabia may be able to build a Dubai city in space just like its neighboring country, the United Arab Emirates, developed Dubai. It has become synonymous with luxury and high-end, attracting wealthy people from all over the world to buy houses in the space city, even if they cannot get their money back. At least you can pay less. Sun Zesheng is fully aware of these thoughts of the Saudi Arabians. He never believed that he could monopolize the star road to the moon. Unless he uses space armed spaceships to block all star roads, sooner or later, there will be spaceships from various countries traveling between the earth and the moon. Sun Zesheng would not do such a thing as an armed blockade, which would cause public outrage around the world. For a businessman, this is an unfavorable negative asset that he does not want to carry. All he has to do is drink his soup in peace and grab the biggest and most delicious piece of cake, and that's enough. Technology is in his hands, and the manufacturing of space cargo ships that can travel to and from the earth and the moon is also in his hands. He has the initiative and decision-making power to share this unprecedentedly huge cake with him. The Saudi Arabian royal family wants to share with him that $100 billion is just buying money, and they will need to continue to pay more in the future, so that he can haveMaybe sell them the Lunar-class spacecraft. A mere hope-level spaceship costs about 80 million Chinese coins. Eleven spaceships only cost 880 million Chinese coins. They were sold for 100 billion U.S. dollars. How much profit is there? How could he not be moved? And with this hundred billion dollars, he can do too many things. Apart from anything else, building a hundred Moon-class spaceships is more than enough. At that time, he will give one Lunar-class spacecraft to Saudi Arabia and keep the remaining 99 for his own use. This is equivalent to his frequency of transporting helium 3 back from the moon, which is at least ninety-nine times that of Saudi Arabia. ¡°Besides, there¡¯s a lot of room for manipulation here. For example, he can reduce the transportation volume of the Lunar-class spacecraft sold to Saudi Arabia, reduce its output power, increase the weight of the entire spacecraft, etc. Even if this method is not used, Saudi Arabia only has one Moon-class spacecraft. Once it is repaired, its efficiency will immediately be zero, and it will be even less able to compete with his fleet. In addition, he also has detailed information on where on the moon is rich in helium-3 resources. He can completely encircle these places, which in turn can reduce Saudi Arabia's transportation efficiency. These are all considered from a market perspective. In addition, there is also political influence. Sun Zesheng also took the opportunity to reach an agreement with the Saudi Arabian royal family to express an attitude to the Chinese government and the world. Not only does he have the ability to set the rules of the game, but he can also get rid of some people and play with others when they are unwilling to abide by these game rules. Sun Zesheng is using practical actions to respond to the result of the enlarged meeting of the Central Political Bureau that did not allow the Space Development Administration to negotiate with him. From a selfish point of view, Sun Zesheng is still willing to share the technology he has mastered with his own country, but when his own country questions, doubts, or even refuses to have a dialogue with him, Sun Zesheng will not wrong himself. He would never do that kind of humiliation, or like the Chu native Bian He who suffered physical harm over and over again in order to offer jade to the King of Chu. ¡°Anyway, he has already given the opportunity to his own country. If his own country doesn¡¯t want it, then he can¡¯t blame himself. Sun Zesheng and the government wanted to be exempted from supervision, not that he wanted to be an independent kingdom, but that the government could show him a political posture, openness, tolerance, civilization, humanity, etc. These are what Sun Zesheng want. Sun Zesheng didn¡¯t want to work so hard to build the company, only to end up making wedding clothes for others. In order to get a passport, you can travel thousands of miles back and forth to countries. How can you do it without taking precautions? In order to show his attitude, Sun Zesheng personally attended the signing ceremony between New Star Company and the Saudi Arabian royal family, regardless of the domestic public opinion that was not very favorable to him. After the signing ceremony, Sun Zesheng and Prince Mulgreen sat face to face, and the two sides had sincere and friendly talks. Sun Zesheng never forgets to talk about business wherever he goes. With his active and tireless promotion, Prince Mu Green agreed to send people to inspect Qingshui Water, photochemical hydrogen production, and Wood Harrier Seiko as soon as possible after returning to China. three companies. Saudi Arabia, like Israel, is also a country on the coast but short of water. Saudi Arabia¡¯s large annual freshwater deficit is basically obtained by desalination of seawater. Saudi Arabia has long heard about Clear Water's desalination equipment, but because its old enemy Israel used it first, Saudi Arabia is somewhat repulsive to Clear Water. However, this time Sun Zesheng personally promoted it in person, and Prince Mu Green decided to give Sun Zesheng face. Not to mention Wood Harrier Seiko, the life of the Saudi Arabian royal family is very luxurious, and they have long been yearning for the manned egg-shaped aircraft, flying cars, etc. produced by Wood Harrier Seiko. As long as they can decide that it's worth their money, it's not impossible to purchase some of them in bulk. As for the photochemical hydrogen production plant, this was originally not within the scope of Saudi Arabia's consideration, but Sun Zesheng focused on clarifying to Prince Mughlin that hydrogen, as a clean energy source, has advantages that oil cannot match in this regard. At present, greenhouse gas emissions are increasingly attracting public attention. Saudi Arabia's introduction of photochemical hydrogen production projects is also making a contribution to the world and is conducive to erecting the image of Saudi Arabia. In addition, the introduction of photochemical hydrogen production projects will also help extend the mining life of Saudi Arabia¡¯s conventional oil reserves. Using one less barrel of oil today will allow our children and grandchildren to enjoy the benefits of one more barrel of oil tomorrow. Even if all engines in the world no longer use fossil fuels such as petroleum, the petrochemical industry will continue. Prince Mughlin was convinced of Sun Zesheng's analysis, so he followed suit and agreed to investigate the photochemical hydrogen production project. Thanks to the rewards for poisoning you, N -excited CE203, and thanks to the broken heart NO1 for the evaluation ticket, thank you. (To be continued)
