"No way, are you serious?"
After learning about the whole incident from the Internet, Ji Yang looked at Xia Yu in disbelief.
"Don't you think humanity has been stagnant for too long? E-commerce, mobile payments, the sharing economy, and food delivery have dramatically changed human life. But it's time to look for the next big thing."
Xia Yu expressed his thoughts.
In his eyes, the trend is space expansion, sending a large number of workers into space.
"So how much does this cost?"
"Conservative estimates put it at hundreds of billions of US dollars!"
A one-way Falcon Heavy now costs $150 million. Even if the shipping costs come down in the future, it will still be a huge expense, not to mention the many projects such as climate modification and mining.
Burning these hundreds of billions will create a market worth trillions or even hundreds of trillions. The upward channels for various countries will be opened again, and mankind will officially enter the era of interstellar navigation.
"Old Xia, let me help you. From what you said, my family's business is all sunset."
Ji Yang felt that Xia Yu was very capable. He couldn't do it to that level, but he could join in and help.
“It’s not a sunset industry yet, but it would be really cool to open the first interstellar hotel on Mars.”
Xia Yu welcomed his friends' help with open arms, especially since Ji Yang was very capable and they could then carry out more cooperation on Mars.
The moon is a mine, without even an atmosphere. He will only build an outpost on it, and mining will be mainly mechanized, which is very different from the earth.
The two chatted about the future in the hotel, and public opinion continued to ferment on the Internet. Most people were shocked by Xia Yu's actions, but there was still a small group of people who felt that Xia Yu was just trying to attract attention.
"It's already 2020, and you're still suspending your studies for fake medicine!"
"That's right, you haven't even eaten enough, and you haven't even found a wife, but you're already so anxious! Why don't you just hurry up and reincarnate?"
Everyone has their own opinions. Some agree while others disagree. Xia Yu has also seen such remarks, but he feels that the same voice should be allowed to exist, even if it is out of envy, jealousy and hatred, just for the sake of arguing.
However, he was not an ordinary person, and his supporters were not happy about it, so they spontaneously started fighting against these black fans.
The popularity increased again, and Xia Yu made a big appearance in front of the whole world this time. In 2008, Zuckerberg earned a net worth of 1 billion US dollars at the age of 23.
Now, at the same age of 23, Xia Yu has achieved results far exceeding 30 billion US dollars, which has made people extremely interested in him.
There's no point in being interested, as such success is impossible to replicate. At most, you can talk about it with friends, and after the conversation, they will become more interested in life in space.
This is exactly what Xia Yu expected. The space age is coming, and it is necessary to cultivate people's interest in space.
When Shenzhou V was launched into space, many children dreamed of becoming astronauts when they grew up, but most of them ended up wearing glasses and becoming ordinary people.
Now the times have changed, commercial spaceflight and interstellar colonization are open, and there will be more and more civilian astronauts, who will be as common as bus drivers on Earth.
When an unattainable dream becomes a job within reach, there will definitely be many people willing to leave their home planet, even if they never come back.
Turning his attention back to the United States, Xia Yu had expected it right. The Bugatti factory was directly surrounded by the media who rushed over. Even if they couldn't expect to interview Xia Yu, it would be good to be able to interview Lao Wen!
In order not to affect production, Winkelmann accepted an interview and talked about his feelings about changing his boss.
"In the face of changing times, Bugatti will persist in some areas and will also make some changes. I hope people will not read too much into it. As for the fact that the owner has become Chinese, as far as I know, Volvo, which was owned by Ruiyi, was also acquired by a Chinese company. They are doing well now."
"Mr. Winkelmann, what do you want to say about Bugatti's newly established space department?"
After Lao Wen finished speaking, another reporter asked.
"I am very optimistic about our space division. We plan to release a concept car for an interstellar supercar in 2021. I hope everyone will like it then."
Car companies must build cars, whether it is racing cars or road cars, whether on Earth or outside the Earth, Bugatti must be the number one.
The release of a concept car is also part of the plan, which will help enhance Bugatti's brand value and serve as a technical reserve to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent launch of mass-produced models.
"By the way, let me make an advertisement here. Bugatti is willing to recruit relevant talents with high salaries. If you are interested, please send us your resume!"
Not only the space department, but Bugatti's production department also needs to recruit people. The working hours of 20 technicians are limited. They hope to increase the number of technicians to 40 in the next year and double the production capacity.
Lao Wen is in charge of these, while Xia Yu is mainly responsible for solving funding issues.
Before leaving, he left behind 500 million euros in research and development funds for the preliminary development of the next generation of models and lunar rovers.
“Stephen, call me when you’ve finished spending. Don’t be polite to me about the company.”
Xia Yu said generously.
"Boss, thank you for your trust. Also, your Bugatti Centodieci has been serviced."
"So soon! If it's ready, you can send it directly to the airport. My assistant is there, and she will arrange for a cargo plane to transport it back to China."
Because of what happened two days ago, Xia Yu's itinerary has been exposed, and it is not convenient for him to drive himself in Europe, so they simply ship the car back and they can just take the car.
After hanging up the phone, the car continued to move forward, soon leaving Molsheim and heading towards the border.
