Chapter 300 Moon Cemetery
"Impossible, we are not that kind of people."

Ever since Qualcomm and MediaTek terminated the supplementary agreement they had originally signed, these manufacturers have started to have their own ulterior motives about jointly establishing a third-party chip design company.

This thing must be done. In the long run, this thing is very important. If OPPO had not succeeded in tape-out in 23, Washington would not have backed down so quickly.

But with Qualcomm and MediaTek's high-end chips available for sale, the urgency of this matter has plummeted.

It's not that urgent.

“I also agree that we should jointly establish a chip design company to integrate resources.

In doing this, I think there are several issues we need to think about.

Because Mr. Lei just mentioned that Guangjia Aerospace was brought in. Although Mr. Lin of Guangjia did not attend in person, Guangjia Aerospace also sent representatives to the scene. "

This refers to Li Haide. As the vice president of Guangjia Aerospace in charge of investment, he did not say a word at the meeting and remained silent throughout the whole process.

When asked for his opinion, he would say he had no opinion. Guangjia Aerospace only cared about its own shareholding ratio and investment proportion. As for whether Butterfly Chip should be included as an asset, it did not matter to them.

“I think we need to think about a question, that is, whether this chip company only needs the five companies present here, because with Guangjia Aerospace, it will naturally have a strong appeal and attraction.

We can expand the scope of the entire chip design.

It should not only include smartphone chips, but also automotive chips. Xiaomi also makes new energy vehicles. We should find some new energy manufacturers to invest in and expand the entire market size. "Liu Zuohu put forward a new point of view.

If we focus on the sharing of butterfly chips, except for Honor, the other companies have the same opinion, which is not conducive to OPPO's bargaining.

By replacing the previous topic with a more promising one, they can muddy the waters.

"Yuanguang, I am sorry for the loss." Lin Jia comforted Chen Yuanguang after waiting for his private plane in Yangcheng.

Chen Yuanguang held her hand and said, “Actually, I’m fine. The old man passed away at the age of 88, which is definitely a happy funeral.

I think it is something to be happy about that I can spend the last period of my life without illness or pain, without suffering too much pain.

I will miss him in my heart.”

The person who passed away was Chen Yuanguang's grandfather. He had four children, of which Chen Qianzhi was the third. The other three were all women, so most of the property was inherited by Chen Qianzhi.

After receiving Chen Qingzhi's call, Chen Yuanguang immediately asked someone to arrange a special flight to Yangcheng.

Because Guangzhou is close to Southeast Asia and there are many black people there, sufficient security personnel must be arranged.

After all these were prepared, he boarded the flight to Guangzhou.

After returning to Yangcheng home after paying respects at the funeral hall, Chen Yuanguang asked, "What are the next plans?"

"Now your aunt has gone to ask the monk at Guangxiao Temple to calculate the date. When a suitable date is found, the burial will take place.

After calculating the date, we plan to bury it in the Galaxy Revolutionary Cemetery."

It is unlikely for ordinary people to be buried in Yangcheng. This place is called the Revolutionary Cemetery, so naturally there are requirements for the burial personnel, and certain conditions must be met.

Except for public officials, anyone else who wants to be buried there must submit a written application from a unit above a certain level, and can only enter after approval.

However, given Chen Yuanguang's status, these are not problems.

After listening to this, Chen Yuanguang hesitated for a moment, but still said, "How about burying the old man there?"

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the sky.

"On the moon." said Chen Yuanguang.

This year, Guangjia Aerospace's composite-powered rocket exploded twice, and the third launch has been delayed. Although Chen Qianzhi seemed to be having a great time traveling, he was actually always paying attention to his son's career.

Chen Yuanguang’s contribution in the chip field cannot offset the lack of breakthrough progress made by Guangjia Aerospace in the commercial aerospace field throughout this year.

Chen Qingzhi was well aware of this, and his subconscious reaction was: "What if it explodes midway after launching?"

"No way. They won't use a new model of rocket to send him up there. They will definitely use a rocket that has been fully verified to send him to the moon.

This is what I think. If they are on the moon, no matter where the Chen family members are in the future, they can commemorate their ancestors by looking up at the moon.

We have been planning to launch a similar service, the Moon Cemetery, in the next two years.”

Space funerals have a long history, with the first space funeral being held as early as 1997.

The only difference is that instead of launching it to the moon, it will be launched into space, allowing the ashes of the dead to turn into dust in space.

Next up is American, a company that specializes in space funerals. They upgraded the original system by placing the ashes into containers that then drift in low-Earth orbit.

The price is naturally very expensive, and it is charged by gram, which costs you about 1 RMB per gram.

If a deceased adult is cremated into complete ashes, without taking into account missing limbs, the weight would be about 1500 grams, or 1500 million yuan.

"Moon Graveyard?
I do know about space funerals. Some of my friends want to do this. They say that scattering ashes into the sea is not unusual, but sending oneself into space is romantic enough. "Chen Qingzhi said.

Chen Yuanguang said: "Yu Guangzhong has a poem called "Climbing Yuantong Temple", I wonder if you have heard of it.

There is a sentence in it: You ascend to the constellation, you are with Fei Changfang, you return to the top of the troposphere, and send me to breathe the dust in the atomic rain.

This poem is a poem in which he misses his mother. This sentence means that his deceased mother has become a god in heaven.

If commercial spaceflight wants to create value, it has to find some gimmicks.

The commercial arm of Guangjia Aerospace has proposed space funerals, but we want to do something different from other commercial aerospace companies in this industry, so we are thinking of a lunar cemetery.

NASA is also working on this project. Their commercial space funeral project aims to send human ashes to an area on the moon called Dead Lake.

But they just send the ashes up there, and NASA doesn't care where they will float to after they get up there.

We are different. We provide funeral services from launching to burial to erecting a tombstone.

I thought of letting the old man become our first customer, which would be a way for me, as his grandson, to show my filial piety.

The biggest advantage of being on the moon is that the possibility of not being disturbed is definitely greater than on Earth."

"This is a bit too radical. I'm not sure your grandmother and your aunt can accept such a radical plan." Chen Qianzhi said, "I think it's okay." "Ask, and remember to say this, I guarantee that there will be no problems, and it's impossible for it to explode in mid-air." Chen Yuanguang said.

An American company called Celestis has already performed a lunar funeral, sending the ashes of a group of people up there.

However, the price is also quite expensive. As mentioned earlier, the price of sending one gram of ashes to the Earth orbit is 1 RMB. If sent to the moon, the price per gram is 1.2 US dollars.

The company claims that the first 50 pre-orders will receive a discounted price of $9950 per gram.

If we trace it back further, it can be traced back to 1999, when a NASA geographer named Eugene had his ashes sent to a crater on the moon.

"How is it?" Lin Jia asked in the evening.

"I don't know. It depends on their thoughts. How should I put it? There is no difference between being buried on the moon and being buried in the native land. It depends on the family's acceptance.

I’m not sure what they’ll choose.”

Guangjia Aerospace's space funeral services are aimed entirely at the wealthy in Europe and the United States. Among the wealthy older Chinese, only a minority can accept this.

Europe and the United States have always been at the forefront of the times in this regard, and both new and old money have a very high acceptance of this approach.

Not to mention the Silicon Valley tycoons.

If this type of service is priced in US dollars, the annual revenue would easily exceed 10 billion US dollars.

And it can suppress our American counterparts so much that they can't hold their heads up. You charge $10,000 per gram and you just send it to the moon and don't care about it.

We at Guangjia Aerospace provide a one-stop service from transportation to burial to monument erection.

If your family and friends want to take a look, it is not impossible to set up a camera in front of the Moon Cemetery for you.

In the future, whether there is war or the vast ocean, the cemeteries on Earth may be dug up, but that is impossible on the moon, right?

Guangjia Aerospace not only needs to develop new sources of income from this aspect, but also needs to snatch the entire pie from its foreign counterparts.

The White House can prevent American companies and various institutions from cooperating with Guangjia Aerospace. The various institutions here not only refer to NASA, but also universities and research institutes that will have some needs for launching satellites.

The White House can’t allow the ashes of local tycoons to be transported out of the country, right?
Guangjia Aerospace has indirectly opened up the American market.

As for asking my own grandfather, I also wanted to show my filial piety and ask for the opinions of my family members.

Sending someone into space may conflict with the traditional concept of burying them in the ground, but this opportunity is indeed rare. If it weren't for a person like Chen Yuanguang, even with the Chen family's wealth, it would not be easy to bury someone on the moon.

In short, Chen Qingzhi did not reply to him immediately.

The day after Chen Yuanguang returned, local officials came to pay their respects collectively.

Of course, whether Chen Yuanguang comes back in person or not, they will come to his house, it’s just a matter of time.

If Chen Yuanguang doesn't come back, they will come on the last day, and if they come back, it will definitely be the day Chen Yuanguang comes back.

"Yuanguang, I am deeply saddened by your loss. The old man made outstanding contributions to the development of Guangzhou throughout his life."

Although this is no longer the era where GDP is the most important factor and promotion is no longer based solely on GDP, Yangcheng is still very jealous.

A person like Chen Yuanguang emerged in our local area, but in the end he didn't get any benefit at all.

Even when the Guangjia Group companies returned to Guangdong Province, they were in Pengcheng instead of Yangcheng.

Light armor companies are all high-tech industries. In a sense, one company can even drive the development of the entire industry.

Taking Guangjia Aerospace as an example, Shenhai has developed rapidly in commercial aerospace in recent years, and the scale of the entire industry has surpassed Yanjing.

You know, in the past, relying on the large number of universities and aerospace companies in Yanjing, Yanjing has always been far ahead of other cities in the field of commercial aerospace.

But in just five years, Shenhai, driven by Guangjia Aerospace, has developed a number of local commercial aerospace companies, which have surpassed Yanjing in terms of output value, revenue and employment scale.

This momentum will be even stronger after the Guangjia Aerospace headquarters is finally located in Shenhai.

There are also semiconductors, new energy and photovoltaics, which can drive the development of the entire industry.

Obviously, they are family members, and the Chen family is considered to be thoroughly local in Yangcheng. Chen's father used to be a civil servant, and the older generation who passed away this time was also a civil servant in Yangcheng.

The Chen family had never been treated unfairly during previous demolitions, and there was no unpleasant past between them. As a result, such a big shot in Yangcheng didn't get any benefit at all.

Even though Jiangcheng only trained Chen Yuanguang for four years, every year when recruiting, the optical armor companies would give Jiangda graduates some extra preferential treatment. This also led to the score line of Jiangda being ten points higher than that of Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology.

Guangzhou really has nothing to do with it.

No matter how I think about it, I feel aggrieved.

After paying his respects, the other party invited Chen Yuanguang to have a simple meal together in the evening, and Chen Yuanguang couldn't refuse.

Chen Yuanguang knew the other party's intention very well. After the greetings at the dinner, he said:
"I really want to contribute to the development of Guangzhou."

After briefly introducing the past and present of space funerals, he said:
“This industry itself is almost blank in China and lacks legal support, but it is indeed a huge market.

If we calculate based on the one-stop service of the lunar cemetery costing $100 million and the low-Earth orbit costing RMB million, it is actually very easy to achieve a revenue of tens of billions of dollars a year.”

Chen Yuanguang was afraid that the other party would look down on this business, so he announced the scale first, which was equivalent to leaving the tax revenue to Yangcheng.

"We are willing to keep this business in Guangzhou because it is close to Southeast Asia and can directly reach the wealthy groups in Southeast Asia."

There are also many wealthy people in Southeast Asia, and there is a large potential customer base.

"We Chinese people value resting in peace, and the wealthy group who have this idea are a minority after all. But abroad, there are very few people who have similar ideas. We have provided them with a new option.

Especially in Southeast Asia, where management is not so strict, graveyard digging happens from time to time. If there is an organization with strong credibility providing this kind of service, it will definitely be very popular.

Not to mention developed countries like Europe and America, they are even more enthusiastic about this.” Lin Jia, who also attended the dinner, added.

"That's right. This industry is mainly aimed at foreigners. Chinese wealthy people are very receptive to space funerals, not just because they want to be buried in peace.

There is also the idea of ​​not wanting to show off wealth and being the first to come out on top. A funeral on the moon costs $100 million. There are many wealthy Chinese who can afford this, but only a few dare to do so publicly. "The local boss explained.
