Chapter 1315
What Lu Zhou didn't expect was that such a romantic and meaningful Valentine's Day gift that he spent a lot of time conceiving was actually borrowed by the investment banks on Wall Street.
And in just a few days, all the star systems around the solar system have been booked.
The most ridiculous thing is that the 68 K-type main-sequence stars within 20 light-years are not enough. Some investment banks even put their ideas on red dwarfs and blue giants.
In a sense, it is not impossible to do so.
As long as they can endure the raging solar wind and the radiation tens of thousands of times that of the solar system, it is theoretically possible for red dwarfs and blue giants to live.
However, I'm afraid it won't be very comfortable to live on it.
In addition, there are some entertainers who regard obtaining alien citizenship and land as a postmodern "fad". Although it is something that is not legally recognized, for many people, $10 is just a pack of cigarettes.
But what surprised Lu Zhou was that some people actually took it seriously, and even spent a million dollars for land on a habitable planet on Proxima Centauri that might not necessarily exist.
When Lu Zhou heard this from Xiaotong, he was so surprised that he didn't close his mouth for a long time.
"and after?"
Stopping the chopsticks in his hand, Lu Zhou couldn't help asking, "Is he just...paying for a piece of waste paper and adding a string of zeros?"
"That's not true."
Sitting opposite, Xiaotong teased and said, "Given the huge amount of investment, the general manager and deputy manager of the Proxima Colonization Foundation drove to the farm in Texas and delivered the bill to the farmer. At the same time, he was also given a custom-made medal for the pioneer of space colonization, and promised to erect a statue for him in the center of Proxima Colony Plaza."
Because of the Tiancang 5 Alien System Colonization Fund, and because he was coming back for the Chinese New Year, Xiaotong took a long vacation with the school some time ago and returned to China.
About two days ago, she finished all the formalities in Shanghai, and returned to Jinling before returning to Princeton.
According to her, she should report to her elder brother.
Although Lu Zhou felt that taking the mailbox and express delivery was the same, but thinking that he would only meet a few times a year, he just let her go.
"Brother, seriously, why don't you consider it? Set up another public offering fund in your name and issue it on Wall Street. I bet you will definitely make a fortune!"
When he said this, Xiaotong's eyes almost turned into the color of RMB, and he happily chatted with Lu Zhou.
"...Let's forget it, it's useless to ask for so much money, and I can't cheat others."
"How can this be called cheating!" Xiaotong retorted, "I believe that after a hundred years, you will definitely be able to send them there! And you can also earn foreign exchange for our country and support the aerospace industry! This kind of If the opportunity is missed, it will be gone.”
"A hundred years from now," Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile, "Whether I will be around or not is unknown at that time."
"It's okay! You and senior sister have to work hard, with your ingenuity, Xiao Zhouzhou must also be a super scientist! He told you not to knock me on the head! My forehead is about to be knocked big by you Already!"
"Stop pretending, I'm useless," Lu Zhou withdrew his hand, looked at the pitiful Xiaotong covering his forehead, and said unceremoniously, "You don't have to worry about making money for me. Just take care of the task for you, if you can’t handle it, tell me early, and I’ll get someone else to do it.”
"Cut! Look down on me," Xiaotong wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, and said with a bet, "Just wait and see, I will earn you one billion in five years!"
Lu Zhou couldn't help complaining.
"Ten billion... You have more than one billion in interest in the bank!"
"Hey, this is just a conservative estimate, and we can't just consider the investment income, we also have to consider the support of the aerospace industry..."
Scratching the back of her head embarrassingly, Xiaotong laughed awkwardly and looked away, then threw a flattery with lightning speed, and quickly changed the topic.
"Speaking of it, brother, you are so awesome! My advisor, Professor Paul Krugman, boasted that your time in the office and on TV must add up to at least ten hours, or you should change your career to study economics Bar!"
Lu Zhou: "I'm not interested in money, let's forget it."
Hearing this sentence, Xiaotong sighed helplessly.
"Economics is not entirely about money, it is mainly about the allocation of social resources. Forget it, I won't explain it to you laymen... Speaking of it, the alien system colonization fund you registered recently seems to have caused a lot of trouble in academia. I plan to use this direction as the topic of my graduation thesis.”
"Graduation thesis?" Looking at Xiao Tong unexpectedly, Lu Zhou continued to ask, "Are you going to graduate? Is it so soon?"
If he remembers correctly, Xiaotong was admitted to Princeton around New Year's Day in 2022, right?
Now it's full of plans, and it's only been two years.
"How can it be so fast... But the graduation thesis can be prepared first. If the writing is very good, maybe you will be specially approved to graduate early?" Xiaotong said with a smile, "When the time comes, I will take care of it for you. How much money!"
Lu Zhou warned: "You should study hard, and money is secondary to knowledge. And I'm just going to practice this for you, and I will arrange a professional manager to help you look over it. a little."
Perhaps it is because today's status is all created by knowledge, but Lu Zhou's attitude towards money is much weaker than before.
But it is true.
Money is something that loses value every moment.
But knowledge will never disappear.
With his current knowledge reserve and learning ability, even if he is thrown into a completely strange era and starts from scratch, he is not worried at all that he will starve to death.
After all, he was the one who created Starry Sky Technology.
Rather than starry sky technology created him.
He didn't fully understand what Lu Zhou meant. He thought that the elder brother was worried about Xiaotong, who was not capable enough to manage so many assets, so he confidently patted his chest and packed the tickets.
"Don't worry bro, I will definitely not cheat you!"
Hearing the confident speech, Lu Zhou sighed.
"hope so."
In fact, the more Xiaotong said that, the more worried he became.
However, although he was worried, Lu Zhou did not have any regrets about entrusting this task to Xiaotong.
After all, she is also a high-achieving student at Princeton, and she studied under a Nobel Prize winner. As a professional, and with the data support of a huge company like Xingkong Technology, even if there is a small mistake, there shouldn't be any major problems, right?
What's more, with Xingkong Technology's status in the aerospace field, if she wants to study the fundamentals of any high-tech company, she can just say hello to her senior.
With so many cheats in hand, Lu Zhou thought, even if a pig came to trade, he wouldn't lose anything.
What's more, it's only 10 billion, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal to practice for my own sister.
It's just that what Lu Zhou didn't expect was that this decision that made him feel that it was no big deal scared many people...
