Chapter 797 (1/2)

120 billion is definitely not a small amount for the future group.

But if the 200 billion is used to forge the key to the universe, it is just a number.

After the completion of the space elevator, let alone 200 billion yuan, it will be a problem whether the future people group will use US dollars for future settlement. The earth's space industry will complete a leap from the stone age to the bronze age. The cost of entering outer space will even be lower than that of civil aircraft. The unrealistic space mining will become a reality. The change of earth's civilization can be described as earth shaking.

And it's only 120 billion pieces of paper.

After coming out of the Research Institute of the aerospace science and technology center, Jiang Chen went to Xia Shiyu's office and talked to her about the 120 billion space elevator project. Although Jiang Chen has disclosed that the cost of the project may be quite astonishing, Xia Shiyu still gasped after hearing the figure of 120 billion yuan.

”Do you think companies print money? Even if many projects make money, it takes time to cash them out.”

even if the annual turnover of futuren group exceeds 100 billion yuan and the total profit is close to 60 billion yuan, it will take a year to cash in. Since its establishment, futuren group has been expanding its business, and every step of expansion needs money.

”We didn't open a bank?” in the face of Xia Shiyu's question, Jiang Chen touched his nose and said with a embarrassed smile.

Hearing this, Xia Shiyu sighed helplessly and explained to him patiently.

”Even if you open a bank, it doesn't mean that the money can be used freely. Space elevator, by its name, should not be the kind of project that can recover the investment cost in the short term. 120 billion yuan of funds are locked in the same project, which can't be described as a risk

”How about borrowing money from other banks”

”have you ever considered paying back the money?”

”of course, I have not only considered the issue of repayment, but also the question of whether the dollar can be as valuable as it is now after the space ladder is built.” Facing Xia Shiyu's query, Jiang Chen said with a confident smile.

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xia Shiyu opened his mouth in silence. Just wanted to ask him why he said so, but after studying economics, she soon understood the truth.

When any currency can monopolize a market, the influence of the currency will radiate to other markets according to the correlation between the market and other markets.

To take a very simple example, the use of US dollars in oil settlement is one of the reasons why the US dollar has become a hard currency in international trade. For now, there is no commodity that has a greater impact on other markets than oil. Because whatever you produce, directly or indirectly, you have to consume ”oil” for transportation.

If a space elevator is built, it will mean that the star ring trade will monopolize the gateway to space. Even if star ring trade prints a bill by itself and points to the waste paper and says that space trade must be settled with these pieces of paper in the future, governments will have to pinch their noses.

It took her a long time to squeeze a word out of her throat.

”It's too risky.”

”But we have a big win.” Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu and said in a serious tone.

The space elevator plan was launched as scheduled. In the future, Renzhong has begun to adjust its production capacity and expand its graphene track production plant in the ANGA Island Industrial Park.

The construction plan is to launch materials into outer space, establish a synchronous orbital space station, and then synchronously launch the construction of the space station as a ”counterweight” and lay the track to the ground.

After the orbital part is completed, there is no need to launch rockets to transport materials to outer space. The graphene orbit can be directly used to send materials to space, which will greatly save the construction cost of the space station.

In other words, the 120 billion budget may not be used up in the end.
