Chapter 4639 Paul Allen's Goal

"Haha, what? Of course, I want to develop my interstellar exploration plan!" Paul Allen laughed, "You know, since I recovered from my illness, I have cherished my life over the years. I have been to almost every place on Earth. Just now, I secretly climbed Mount Everest from Tibet."

"Wait!" Lin Feng stopped him immediately, "You said you climbed Mount Everest? From Tibet? Isn't that from Nepal? Why did you climb from Tibet? And you are a celebrity. If you climbed Mount Everest, the world news would report it crazily. Why didn't I hear about it?"

"Haha, I said it was a secret climb. How could a secret climb be known to the outside world!" Paul Allen rolled his eyes, "Whether it's Nepal or Tibet, as long as you can reach the top of the mountain, it doesn't matter!"

"No, no! Nepal is a little easier to climb. Your health is not good, how can you climb from Tibet? And this season is not right!" Lin Feng looked puzzled.

"Stupid! Did I tell you I climbed up there? I took a helicopter." Paul Allen rolled his eyes.

Take...take a helicopter? Lin Feng was completely speechless. Is this called climbing? And what kind of helicopter can reach such a high place?

"Just take a fighter jet. Pick a day with the least wind and put me up there. Isn't that difficult? Not at all!" Paul Allen shrugged, "Standing up there, you can really see all the mountains. It really broadened my horizons!"

Lin Feng was completely speechless. You took a fighter jet up there. This, let alone you, even a quadriplegic can do it. But what is the pleasure of climbing like this? This is totally boring!

"Why don't you understand!" Paul Allen shook his head.

"Can I still climb Mount Everest at my age? I definitely can't. If I want to climb up, I'm afraid there will be only one result, death on it. So why should I go looking for death! But I want to see the beautiful scenery, so I choose to take a helicopter fighter to go up. I don't care about the climbing process and the sense of accomplishment after conquering Mount Everest. What I care about is the unique wonder of Mount Everest. That's all!" Paul Allen explained.

Lin Feng heard this. This reason is acceptable. Indeed, everyone has different opinions. You don't have to do what others do. You just need to do what you want to do. As for whether others have any criticisms, you just ignore it.

"Besides, the scenery of Mount Everest in April and May is not comparable to that in April and May." Paul Allen smiled.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this.

Bring me the money!" Paul Allen stretched out his hand again.

"Hey, I said, haven't I already given you money? I have invested hundreds of billions of dollars, and you still want me to invest money. You also take out hundreds of billions, hundreds of billions of dollars at a time, what are you doing! You are cheating me!" Lin Feng pretended to be angry.

"Hey, you are still angry with me. Even if I cheat you of your money, it's nothing. You have so much money, it's okay to be cheated a little. Don't you Chinese have a saying about cause and effect? ​​I don't quite understand its meaning, but it probably means that you picked up US dollars today. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you may lose a sum of money, or suffer losses in some places. Right? You made so much money this time, it's all quick money, you put it with me, invest in interstellar exploration, then it's like investing money in it. If you lose it, it's also helping you avoid disasters, right!" Paul Allen's words were a bit confusing.

Lin Feng shook his head speechlessly. This Chinese culture, you still need to learn more.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this. Let me invest. But how to divide the profit? And what to invest in? Why do you have to spend so much money?" Lin Feng asked.

"Haha, profit sharing is easy. If you invest another 100 million US dollars, I will let you hold 80% of the shares. As for where to invest, hehe, I am building a spaceship. A spaceship that can reach the moon and come back. Of course, I am also planning to build another international space station, a private international space station. This requires money, a lot of money. Without 100 million US dollars, don't even think about it. And looking at the world, you are the richest. I will naturally find you!" Paul Allen said with a smile.

"By the way, my assets are only a little over 2 trillion US dollars, and there are tens of trillions of US dollars of consortiums above. Don't you look for them?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Them? I'm not interested. This is my personal hobby, purely for my personal entertainment. I won't look for those greedy consortiums. There is no point in looking for them, which will make them degenerate. And you are my friend, so I will naturally look for you!" Paul Allen snorted coldly, extremely disdainful of those consortiums.

Lin Feng laughed and felt relieved. He was really afraid that Paul Allen had some connection with those consortiums. In that case, he would be passive. It would be best if there was no connection.

But what about this investment of 100 million US dollars? Wait! Lin Feng's mind suddenly moved. Well, this seems good, good, really good, only in this way can I perfectly solve my biggest problem! Yes, that's it! Good, good!

"Uh, by the way, Paul, how is the construction going over there? When can the spacecraft be launched?" Lin Feng asked.

"This is already very fast. Over the years, with your strong investment, the overall structure of the spacecraft has been built. It will be able to take off within half a year. And it is definitely much safer than any spacecraft on Earth. After all, this is privately funded by us, and we have hired the most professional and outstanding scientists. This space strength is no worse than that of the country. As for the International Space Station, if you are willing to invest money, it will be built soon." Paul Allen said with a smile.

In the 1980s, the US Space Agency was able to let Americans land on the moon and come back. Its space technology is already very advanced. Although it cannot take people out of the solar system or even the planetary belt of the earth, the technology for going back and forth to the moon is already very mature. As for why the United States did not continue to research, the problem is also very simple, it is meaningless! The funds of the US Space Agency come from government financial grants, and government financial grants must be approved by Congress.

The vigorous development of international space technology was constrained by the Cold War with the Soviet Union after the end of World War II. Therefore, the so-called "planet plan" was vigorously developed. Now that the Soviet Union has collapsed and Russia has come to power, the United States has no opponents on this planet. And on Earth today, there is no invasion from any civilization outside the Earth. In this case, the financial allocation is naturally as simple as possible.

If the financial allocation is reduced, the talent will naturally not be retained. So many geniuses graduate every year, and it is impossible for them to go to NASA. Where did these people go? Naturally, they were recruited by other Western countries, and of course most of them were recruited by private companies. The largest of these was Paul Allen's "Star Exploration Company". Of course, without Lin Feng's financial support, Paul Allen's personal financial resources would not be able to support it, and the scale of his company could not be so large. But with Lin Feng's financial support, it's completely different.

Therefore, the plan to go to the moon is completely feasible. There is no problem with the International Space Station. Everything just needs funds.

"In this way, anyway, I have about 100 million US dollars of idle funds in my hands, most of which I still have use. I will give you 100 million US dollars to invest in your International Space Station and spacecraft. But you must guarantee that you can go to the moon next year!" Lin Feng said.

"Billion dollars!! Lin, you are so generous! Don't worry, in China, you may not feel the power of civilian technology, but in the United States, the most advanced technology is in the hands of civilians, or in private companies. The country does not have it!" Paul Allen said excitedly after hearing Lin Feng's figures.

Billion dollars, this is enough to build a complete international space station. With the international space station, he can enjoy the universe outside the earth in the future. In his life, he has experienced everything that can be experienced on earth. Life is no longer fun. That's why he invested in interstellar exploration to make his life more meaningful. However, he was restricted by funds before, but now he has Lin Feng's huge financial support. His future life is so interesting.

"Lin, if you want to invest 100 million US dollars, I only want 5% of the shares, and the rest of the shares are yours!" Paul Allen said, "I must have this 5% share, and I want to have management rights. What do you think?"

Interstellar exploration is Paul Allen's focus now, and he has no interest in other things. If Lin Feng wants all the shares or management rights, his life will lose its meaning. Therefore, although the two have a good relationship, they must make things clear, even if they are unhappy.

"That's fine. What I value is the future benefits. Not the management rights! Besides, I think you can manage better than me!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"That's ok, no problem!" Paul Allen sighed. Otherwise, if Lin Feng wants management rights, his dream may be difficult to realize.

"Okay, I will transfer the money to your account later. But remember, you must be able to take off next year!" Lin Feng said.

"Don't worry, that's fine. We can land on the moon in 6 years, Lin, now it's almost 6 years, and the technology in 6 years is developing rapidly. If we can't land on the moon safely, it's too incompetent!" Paul Allen shrugged, looking relaxed.

The scientific difference of 6 years is enough to solve many problems.
