Chapter 316 The Big Mac in Charge of the Future
From the beginning of the moon landing plan, in fact, it was only formulated until Apollo 14.
In other words, from 11 to 14, the Americans only planned 4 manned moon landings.
The reason, of course, is that it costs too much money.
The entire plan was originally only ten years old, and it cost 24.6 billion from 1961 to 1971.
The second is that one and two moon landings can be refuted with probability, but after four times, the Americans can confidently announce that the United States has fully mastered the moon landing technology.
But the failure of Apollo 13 forced the Americans to formulate a new plan.
After logging in from the 14th spacecraft, he gritted his teeth and persisted until the 17th spacecraft. After spending a total of 25.2 billion US dollars, he completely canceled the moon landing project without hesitation.
Then turn your attention to just exploring Mars.
Therefore, this attempt of gritted teeth after failure will inevitably attract the attention of the whole country during the Apollo 14 moon landing process.
It is impossible for Li Changheng and the other two astronauts to avoid the attention and exploration of the media.
The only question is, with the photos and appearance information, whether it is the media in the United States or England that will first report that he is a rich man.
After thinking about it, he still thought it would be the English media.
There are too many people who have seen him among the nobles and know him.
Even if Philip's family didn't take the initiative to break the news, no matter if they were jealous or friends among the nobles, there might be someone who would take the initiative to break the news for various reasons.
The only thing that made him happy was that the jazz was just a commoner nobleman, and the Americans would not care too much about this matter.
Then Li Changheng picked up the phone again and called his law firm in the United States.
Before being exposed, the first thing needs to be done.
It is to let accountants and lawyers review their consumption in the past year, whether there is any omission in tax declaration.
As for the money in the bank.
He doesn't worry anymore.
Anyway, Americans file their taxes independently, and UBS cannot be found in the U.S. tax, which means that the 170 million cash in the bank does not exist.
The next day, the same lawyers from yesterday were in charge of reviewing the contract, and then signed a supplementary agreement with the three of Robert.
Li Changheng officially acquired 51% of the shares of the giant who will dominate the chip industry in the future.
Moreover, he gave a promise not to interfere with the management of the company by the three of Robert, and to research chips and memories.
Come to fool the three of Robert, it could not have been a better ending.
It also lowered the three of them's defense against Li Changheng to the lowest point.
Then came the signing of the foundry contract, leaving a cash check of 3.7 million US dollars to pay for the order of all parts of 100,000 calculators.
After the 100,000 units are sold, one unit costs 180 US dollars, and 18 million US dollars in cash can be recovered.
Excluding the 1.8 million paid to Intel for 10% of the foundry, assembly, and sales.
The remaining 1620 is enough to order 430,000 calculators.
Of course, things may not go as smoothly as expected.
Whether the wholesale price of 180 US dollars can be accepted by the market, no one knows.
But the three of Robert are very confident.
The only thing that makes Li Changheng unhappy is that there is no way to limit the specific price of the retailer.
And he wanted to print a slogan with a retail price of 200 US dollars on the box of the calculator, but was directly rejected by Robert and Andy.
And the reasoning is that it would offend most retailers.
Then Li Changheng thought for a while, and in the end, it was because he had already controlled 51% of the shares, so it didn't need to be said by the three of Robert.
He offered to use the Intel logo on the calculator.
A very helpless fact is that even IBM, which has the highest market value in the computer field, had a market value of less than half that of Intel at its peak.
In the 1990s, the three largest companies in the personal computer industry combined were comparable to one Intel.
Then the new millennium began, and Intel itself began to decline.
However, if the weight ratio of the stock market is considered, then the feat of IBM reaching 6.4% of the S&P in 1985 will be surpassed by Apple in the future.
But IBM is in full swing at this time, and it is impossible for Li Changheng to obtain 51% of the shares.
Even the market value at this time exceeded 80 billion US dollars, and he couldn't even afford 5%.
Therefore, it is not difficult to choose the computer company that Intel and Li Changheng will establish in the future.
Besides, if the calculator is at most two or three years, the profit will take a sharp turn for the worse.
A product that will become tasteless is just right for Intel to make a name for itself.
Then Li Changheng had already thought about it in his heart, so he made a handheld Tetris game console.
A gadget that sells tens of millions of units, or even over 100 million units, which is more than future mobile phones.
Send away the ecstatic Robert, Moore and Andy.
Li Changheng talked with accountants and tax lawyers all afternoon, after sending these people away.
Flew to Virginia with the Death Squad.
At this time, he has been in the United States for 7 days, and there are still 6 days before the deadline on the 25th mentioned by Dylan Robin.
When he got off the plane, he saw Dylan Robin and Lieutenant Colonel Scott, standing beside two Cadillacs and two military vehicles, waiting for him.
Dylan Robin waited for Li Changheng to step down the hanging ladder, and excitedly stepped forward and hugged him.
"Dude, you're crazy enough to actually want to do the astronaut test."
Li Changheng greeted Lieutenant Colonel Scott with a smile, and then said to Dylan, "The only chance in life is right in front of you.
I don't want my future life to be spent in annoyance and regret. "
The group got into the car and drove straight to the farm outside Richmond.
Hugging in the trenches with Barney, who is in charge of managing and training the Death Squad, reminiscing about the past.
Listening to their report with Dylan, what happened at the death squad base in the past few months.
Li Changheng called Annie after dinner, but Xiaonizi complained for ten minutes, saying that he was not trustworthy.
It was agreed to go to the United States for three or four days, but it turned out that it took a week to go, and I don't know how long it will take to go back.
In the end, Li Changheng started to say some colorful words, which made Annie blush and ashamed and didn't want to stop. She didn't end the call until 10 o'clock in the evening.
At 6 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Li Changheng, who was wearing a camouflage uniform, appeared on time at the training ground of the base.
Start a three-day adaptation training, striving to adjust the body to a better state than usual.
5km long run, 5km fully armed swim.
In just one morning, all the death squad members in the base who saw his training process were stunned.
A 5-kilometer long run is not a big deal for special forces, but a 5-kilometer armed swim is really not something that ordinary people can play without stopping.
For Li Changheng, as long as he runs slower, or the frequency of breaststroke and side swimming is slower, he can slowly recover his physical strength.
After the whole training, even if the speed was deliberately lowered, he still became the fastest one in the base in the end.
And it beat the record-holding by a full 5 minutes.
Just like the US team said, he can play for a day.
Li Changheng felt that as long as he had water and food, it would be no problem to run for a day by himself.
Eat lunch for two people at noon, and relax for another hour.
Start the marksmanship that I have not trained for several months.
