Zhang Zhai smiled when he heard this, but he was not surprised.

"Please speak, elder."

The elder looked at Zhang Zhai, was silent for a moment before continuing: "The country wants to rent some areas of the Moon Palace city for a fee."

After a pause, the elder added, "Just like the previous cooperation, the country is willing to pay some price to rent parts of the Moon Palace city."

Zhang Zhai looked at the elder and did not answer directly. Instead, he turned to a smile and asked, "Let's rent the Moon Palace Base directly? Is the country planning to give up the establishment of the Moon Base?"

"No, the country will still build its own lunar base, but this does not prevent it from doing some work in advance through other lunar bases before this."

The elder shook his head and said,

"Of course, if you don't want to, we won't force it."

"There is nothing to do or not. Moon cities are originally part of the 'space plan'. What's more, after the lunar cities are fully completed, they will gradually open some areas to the public."

Zhang Zhai smiled and continued, "The country wants to rent some areas of the lunar city for a fee, so it's just a little bit ahead of time."

"Open Moon City?"

"It is said that the completion of the Moon Palace Base will usher in the era of interstellar navigation and alien colonization, but interstellar navigation and alien colonization cannot be just me and some researchers in Zhaicheng, which is a bit too deserted. And what is the difference between it and the previous moon landing in the United States? Will one or two people step out of the earth be considered as humans out of their cradles?" Zhang Zhai turned his head and looked out the window and whispered,

"A great civilization requires a huge population base, a great era, and so on."

The elder nodded seriously first, then turned to laugh,

"I think even Xiao Zhai, you alone, can support an era." The elder said with a smile.

Zhang Zhai also smiled, but did not continue to follow the elder's words, but asked directly.

"The state rents some areas of the Moon City for a paid rent, I agree. But..."

Zhang Zhai said here, paused slightly before continuing,

“…How large areas are the state planning to rent? How long does it take to rent it?”

The elder fell silent when he heard this, as if he was considering the pros and cons.

The entire conference room was silent in an instant.

Zhang Zhai was not in a hurry and quietly waited for the elder to give an answer.

a long time,

The elder stared at Zhang Zhai and said slowly: "One quarter area, 30 years."

"There is no problem with time, and one-quarter of the area will definitely not work." Zhang Zhai did not hesitate and refused decisively.

"Well, Xiao Zhai, how big area are you willing to rent out?" The elder smiled, not in a hurry.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhai gave the answer: "One-tenth of the area."

When the elder heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then agreed directly, "Yes."

...

"Since you have agreed to it, I have also said that it is a paid rent, should we discuss the conditions?"

After confirming the most important thing, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was much easier.

The elder looked at Zhang Zhai and said with a smile,

"Xiao Zhai, you have any opinions to put forward, and we will try our best to satisfy them."

"Person, please tell me first." Zhang Zhai looked at the elder with a smile on his face.

The elder smiled and shook his head, looked at Zhang Zhai and said, "That's fine, then I'll talk about it briefly. Xiao Zhai, you can also mention any other requirements."

"One-tenth of the area, 30 years... three years of duty-free, Xiao Zhai, what do you think?" The elder looked at Zhang Zhai and said slowly,

"The business you own now can be tax-free for three years."

Zhang Zhai couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and he was really willing to spend a lot of money on it.

Even if Xihe Technology alone has nearly 3 trillion yuan in revenue every month,

Adding to Zhaicheng's income, Mirling income and the income brought by Zhaicheng Aerospace Center after the income and expenditure balance,

The total monthly revenue of all Zhang Zhai's companies is more than 4 trillion yuan, and the annual total revenue is close to 50 trillion yuan.

A tax exemption represents about 10 trillion yuan in one year, and a tax revenue of about 30 trillion yuan in three years.

Of course, there are not so many, Xihe Technology, Zhaicheng Aerospace, etc. already have tax exemptions.

But even so, three years of tax exemption will mean at least about 10 trillion in tax revenue.

10 trillion, I really want to give up.

"Three years of duty-free, this is really a big deal." Zhang Zhai was not very excited, but just smiled and said.

"The 30-year right to use one-tenth of the lunar city has this value." The elder smiled, "How about it, are you still satisfied with Xiao Zhai? Or do you have any other requirements?"

"Elder, you are so willing to give up. What else can I have?" Zhang Zhai said with a smile.

After the words came, Zhang Zhai and the elder smiled at each other.

Time passes slowly,

The atmosphere in the small conference room gradually became relaxed, and Zhang Zhai and the elders communicated casually, and the laughter of the two people rang out from time to time in the conference room.

finally,

The exchange gradually subsided, and Zhang Zhai and the elder walked out of the conference room together.

"Xiao Zhai, you can go and prepare first. I won't delay you. Just wait here for the manned moon landing to start." The elder said to Zhang Zhai with a smile.

Zhang Zhai nodded without saying anything. After asking the elder to talk to the Terminator robot next to him about something, he left the conference room directly.

...

The sun is gradually setting westward and is about to approach the horizon, with less than an hour left before the manned moon landing.

Zhang Zhai quickly walked into the ground command room on the first floor.

The atmosphere in the command room seemed a bit solemn, and all the staff were nervously doing the final preparations before the Houyi launch.

"The data in the cabin is normal, and meets the normal data interval..."

"The cabin sealing test is completed, the sealing performance meets the standards..."

"The intelligent control system has completed self-test, no problems have been found..."

“…”

Listening to the rapid feedback that kept ringing in his ears, Zhang Zhai quickly walked to the front side of the command room.

At the front of the command room, Academician Gan Xiaohua was staring at the holographic screen in front of him with a serious face, monitoring the overall situation of the Houyi.

"Academician Gan, how about it?" Zhang Zhai glanced at the data on the holographic screen and asked.

"Everything is normal." Academician Gan replied briefly.

"The Houyi has completed the penultimate overall inspection before takeoff. Half an hour left, Houyi is about to take off. Mr. Zhang, how are you feeling now?" Academician Gan turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhai and said with a smile.

"It's not a problem, because we have eliminated all the problems. In theory, manned moon landing has been successful. Now we are just recreating it once in reality." Zhang Zhai said with a smile.

"It's not exciting, because the moon landing is just the beginning, and there will definitely be landing on Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, and even exoplanets in the future."

"Yes, this is just the beginning." Academician Gan looked at Zhang Zhai and sighed a little, "But even if it was just the beginning, if it weren't for you, Mr. Zhang, you wouldn't have come so early."

"Academician Gan, are you going to flatter me?" Zhang Zhai joked with a smile.

"Hahaha..." Academician Gan put away his emotions and laughed.

Time passes by bit by bit.

The atmosphere in the command room became more and more tense as time approached. Everyone was nervous and focused, and no one dared to relax at the moment.

The prelude to an era is about to begin, and Zhang Zhai and everyone in Zhaicheng Aerospace will be the one who kicks off this prelude.
Chapter completed!
