Chapter 0506 Can't afford it

Guyu was originally reluctant to use freight spacecraft as a tool to transport fresh water. After all, no matter from any perspective, this is not a cost-effective behavior. Guyu's concern is not unreasonable. He originally arranged a freight spacecraft, and later added it to two. Although he could also gain some reputation value, it could not satisfy the consumption. This is only considered from the perspective of reputation value. If he was considered from the economic perspective, the losses would be even more.

Guyu didn't expect that when he increased the number of cargo spacecraft, the reputation value he collected was actually a geometric multiple, rather than a simple multiplication. This greatly increased the reputation value he collected, which could meet the increase in exchange for cargo spacecraft and fuel rods. This gave Guyu a bold idea of ​​whether he could exchange for more micro anti-gravity engines, and then based on it, produce a large number of cargo spacecraft and passenger spacecraft, and then apply it to all aspects of Guchao Technology. When cargo spacecraft and passenger spacecraft appear all over the world, the reputation value he collected would be even larger, allowing him to make a lot of money while satisfying consumption.

Perhaps the reputation value earned in this way is relatively limited, and it cannot be compared with the reputation value he obtained when he won the Nobel Prize or developed the Cara Canal, but his victory is stable and long-lasting. Just like the various services and products provided by his Guchao Technology, it is an indispensable channel for him to obtain reputation value.

Guyu directly ordered Gu Chaofei to increase the production of cargo spacecraft and passenger spacecraft. At the same time, he also ordered the development of large cargo spacecraft and passenger spacecraft. If Gu Chaofei can develop a ten-ton cargo spacecraft, it will definitely cause a huge shock in the world compared to it, and will definitely become a new weapon for him to gain reputation.

Gu Yu's order was strictly confidential and was not disclosed to the outside world. Fortunately, he did not announce it to the outside world. If it was announced, he probably wouldn't have any idea of ​​getting leisure.

Guyu arranged more than 20 cargo spacecraft to China at once, and in the subsequent time, he sent one or two new ships every now and then. His behavior fell into the eyes of those who are interested and could no longer be described as simply "expendable".

So far, Guyu's cargo spacecraft has been launched for quite some time. During the Second Calam Island War, the Argentine army hired several cargo spacecraft and played a significant role in the entire war. It was the first time that people in the world realized the extraordinary power of cargo spacecraft, which was only stronger than the Mikami Hercules transport aircraft and the Russian heavy strategic transport aircraft. Later, Guyu used this kind of cargo spacecraft that was enviable to the world for the small matter of transporting tamsui, which surprised many people. However, after that, cargo spacecraft appeared in large quantities, allowing people to see the power of this cargo spacecraft again.

However, people are envious, but there are very few countries that can really use cargo spacecraft. In addition to Guyu itself, there are only two countries that are currently using Agentine and Bahru. Among them, Agentine has tasted the sweetness of cargo spacecraft and cannot stop, while Bahru has a bit of compulsive nature. In order to maintain a good relationship with Guyu, the Pakistani and Western military has to use it.

Apart from these two countries, even China is not used. It is not that Guyu is not used by the Chinese military, but that Guyu proposed the conditions that are relatively harsh, that is, cargo spacecraft is rented or not sold, and no matter who rents it, no matter who it is, it cannot conduct any similar inspections on the cargo spacecraft, and even the connection is strictly restricted. Guyu does this to protect the secrets of the cargo spacecraft, but in the eyes of some people, it has become an unsafe factor.

In the past, there were only a few cargo spacecraft in Guyu, and they just flew in the sky, just like that. But now it is not a few, but dozens of them. In this way, the nature will be completely different.

The first thing to express concern about this issue was that some scientific research institutions and large companies in China were very much needed for high-speed transportation. In the past, they used civil aviation passenger planes or high-speed rails, but using civil aviation passenger planes or high-speed rails was either without any disadvantages or could not arrange them according to their own time. They had to obey the flight time of civil aviation passenger planes and high-speed rails. In addition, civil aviation passenger planes or high-speed rails were far away from their institutions or companies' stations. Transporting things from them to the airport and then from the airport to the destination will invisibly increase a lot of risks.

The emergence of cargo spacecraft made them realize that this is a good choice and can completely replace their existing transportation methods, direct point-to-point transportation, which is safe and efficient.

Therefore, some institutions tried to contact Guchao Technology, hoping to use freight spacecraft to help them transport goods. As for Guyu's condition to rent and not sell, it was not a problem in their eyes. They didn't need to buy freight spacecraft. They paid more attention to privacy, safety and speed.

After Gu Chao Technology summarized these problems, he handed them over to Gu Yu, and Gu Yu asked them to make decisions. These things are quite controversial in Gu Chao Technology's management, and the focus of the controversy is the cost. If the cargo spacecraft is as big as a person, if he only transports a few kilograms or even a few taels of weight each time he is dispatched, he will not even be able to save his underwear?

Fortunately, Gu Changsong knew that his son was very capable and could turn decay into magic. In the eyes of others, things that were not profitable may be turned into gold in Guyu, becoming a new profit growth point for Guchao Technology. So he simply pushed these things to his son to deal with.

After Gu Yu looked at it, he just smiled and made a decision. He wanted to do point-to-point transportation, but he didn't have to use cargo spacecraft. He could also use the series of aircraft produced by Gu Chaofei. Although these aircraft could not transport hundreds of tons of cargo at one time like cargo spacecraft, there was no problem with transporting about several tons of cargo at a time. Moreover, these aircraft, like cargo spacecraft, can take off and land vertically, and can fully undertake point-to-point transportation tasks.

As for the charging issue, he can set a charging standard based on the actual situation, and provide services to whoever can bear it. If he cannot bear it, he can only say sorry.

Gu Yu told his decision to his father Gu Changsong, and Gu Changsong immediately took advantage of the issue. He proposed to just form a logistics company. Gu Chao Technology still has a very advantage in this regard. In terms of transportation, other logistics companies are absolutely incomparable. Moreover, Gu Chao Technology actually involves logistics services now, just like a point mall. The services provided to those VIP customers require the point mall to do logistics by itself.

Guyu naturally did not object to Gu Changsong's proposal. He asked his father to take care of it. Whether it was to invest in the construction of a logistics company himself or spend money to acquire a ready-made logistics company, it was OK.

After getting Gu Yu's approval, Gu Changsong's eyes suddenly shone. Although he is Gu Yu's old man and the chairman of Gu Chao Technology, Gu Chao Technology's territory has basically been done by Gu Chao Technology over the years. Gu Yu is like a commander behind the scenes. He pointed there. He, as a man, had to lead people to charge and expand the territory for Gu Chao Technology.

Gu Changsong is just a son like Gu Yu, and he has no complaints about this situation, but he is still a little depressed. Now that Gu Yu asks him to do this, if it is done, it is enough to show that he can also make his own contribution to the expansion of Gu Chao Technology's territory and be able to stand up in the future.

Because of this, Gu Changsong attached great importance to this matter and personally drew elite troops to form a team to start preparing for the establishment of a express company. He submitted acquisition offers to several major express companies in China, demanding that the other party’s equity be 100%. For a time, the express delivery industry across the country was in a panic and exclaimed that the wolf was coming.

Gu Changsong is stirring up trouble in the express logistics industry, and Gu Yu is just doing his own father. If this is done, it will be a good thing for Gu Chao Technology, himself, or the general public, and he will be optimistic.

After dealing with the requests of those large companies and scientific research institutions, Guyu welcomed an opponent he had to treat carefully, that is, the Chinese military. Guyu and the military have a long history of cooperation, and he has always been deeply respectful to his soldiers. In his cooperation with the military, he has made concessions again and again and made a lot of contributions.

This time, the military finally couldn't sit still when they saw the dozens of cargo spacecraft flying in the sky. They had just communicated briefly before, hoping that Guyu could provide some cargo spacecraft for the military to use, but after learning about the harsh conditions set by Guyu, they stopped the dialogue in this regard. The military originally thought that Guyu's technology was not mature enough, and the manufacturing cost of this thing was definitely not a small number. Guyu could build a few ships, but it didn't expect that Guyu would make this thing no different from dumplings. There were dozens of ships without saying a word. If this was integrated, it would be a big force. If the military continued to ignore it, it would be a dereliction of duty.

The military has a very strong appetite and determination this time. I hope that Guyu can sell all these freight spacecraft to them, and the purchase price can be negotiated, as long as it is reasonable. Their condition is that Guyu must completely and completely transfer the control of the freight spacecraft to them. It is definitely not possible to rent it but not sell it. This involves national security and there is no room for bargaining.

In addition, the military also proposed a condition that he thought Guyu could not resist, that is, they could coordinate in the center and let Huaxia Railway Corporation make concessions to Guyu and transport fresh water to the second pharmacy factory at a price lower than the market price.

Guyu shook his head very directly. When he found that using a cargo spacecraft to transport Danshui would not make him lose his reputation, he no longer planned to transport Danshui by railway. The military's conditions were no longer attractive to him. As for the military's purchase of his cargo spacecraft, he would make it even less attractive. On the one hand, the military could not really agree to him to open the price casually, it must be the price they thought was reasonable. On the other hand, Guyu had long passed the time to lack money. Now what he lacked is reputation, not money. If the military accepts it, he could even donate 18 billion US dollars to the military and let the military purchase a large batch of transport 20 transport aircraft, and don't make the idea of ​​his cargo spacecraft.

Guyu's attitude was so firm that it was beyond the expectations of the military. The military also made up its mind to get these cargo spacecraft this time. They began to increase their investments step by step. They even said that as long as Guyu handed over the cargo spacecraft to them, they could apply to the higher authorities so that Guyu could enjoy the same treatment as a lieutenant general. This is almost the top of the pyramid in the military. The general who is one level higher than the lieutenant general, has no active service in the Chinese army. Apart from these dozen generals, he is the lieutenant general.

In order to obtain this batch of freight spacecraft, the military not only gave a lot of conditions to Guyu, but also moved it with emotion and reason, making Guyu a little embarrassed. There is a way that if you don’t hand over the freight spacecraft to the military, you will not support the army.

Guyu was also unable to do anything, so he could only take a step back on the original conditions, that is, he could sell these freight spacecraft to the military in a shareholding manner. He only retains one percent of the equity of these freight spacecraft, and the rest are all from the military. Usually, the daily management and operation of these freight spacecraft can be handed over to the military, but all the actions of these freight spacecraft may lead to technological leakage, Guyu can exercise a veto. The military must respect Guyu's right and cannot be deprived of it at any time and for any reason.

This is Guyu's last bottom line. If the military does not agree, he will have no choice.

The military began to discuss the conditions of Guyu and finally agreed. The freight spacecraft was too attractive to them, so it was okay to make some appropriate concessions. The two sides immediately began formal negotiations, but when it came to the price of the freight spacecraft, it still scared the representatives of China's military. Guyu's offer was a freight spacecraft, which sold for 3 billion US dollars.

The transportation capacity of the United States' C17 Hercules transport aircraft is 100 tons, and the price sold to allies is 200 million US dollars. The carrying capacity of the Guyu cargo spacecraft is 500 to 600 tons. In terms of transportation capacity alone, if you sell it for 2 billion US dollars, you have to buy it in the international market by rushing to buy it. In addition, the autopilot capability, vertical take-off and landing capabilities of the freight spacecraft, and only sell it for only 3 billion US dollars, which is completely a conscience price and a bargain price.

From the bottom of his heart, Gu Yu didn't go for making money. A ship of 3 billion US dollars is really not much. However, this offer far exceeded the military's psychological expectations. They felt that it was too expensive and could not afford it.
