Chapter 1352: Chapter 646: Did a Meteorite Hit the Earth?_2

The negotiator even went as far as to say, "We hope to buy thrusters that can carry more energy and remain afloat in the high altitudes for an extended period."

Due to the rapid development of Z-wave technology, the initial ’Sky Fortress Plan’ within the country was put on hold, as it became redundant, with no significance to constructing something that would not be used when it was more direct to build spaceships instead.

Now, the wealthy nations believe that anti-gravity fortresses in the air are very meaningful. They sent a negotiation team, hoping to purchase large anti-gravity devices and even requested to buy Z-wave weapons technology.

This request was directly rejected.

However, anti-gravity floating devices indeed could be sold. Just big anti-gravity devices, added with large energy storage compartments, could sustain floating from five to thirty thousand meters high in the air. The device itself is not very technologically sophisticated, and its deterrence is also hard to say.

Of course, whether it’s a deterrent is relative to domestic considerations.

For wealthy countries, it’s different.

Their enemies are mostly groups with rifles and grenade launchers. The deterrent power of aerial fortresses is enormous. Even just standing on them and throwing down explosives is enough to cause great psychological trauma to the enemy.

After negotiating with domestic parties for anti-gravity thrusters, the wealthy consortium placed several military orders valued at two hundred and thirty billion U.S. dollars. Afterwards, when they learned that Yixing was preparing for financing, they immediately came over wanting to invest.

The wealthy consortium’s bargaining chip was nothing but money.

Initially, Yixing did not consider mere monetary investment because money wasn’t very helpful for the company, and investment could be easily obtained.

But they agreed eventually.

The main reason was that the wealthy consortium offered six billion U.S. dollars just for a one percent stake, also requesting to purchase the photonic energy reception and conversion devices.

Zhao Yi’s first response was to merge with the Space Information Technology company and the Advanced Compressed Materials company to discuss the sale of the second batch of photonic energy reception and conversion devices.

In the end, both parties reached an agreement.

The wealthy consortium received permission to purchase 400 standard photonic energy reception and conversion devices.

When faced with such matters, Zhao Yi always felt helpless. Six billion U.S. dollars for one percent equity essentially put Yixing Company’s valuation at six hundred billion U.S. dollars.

If it were a few years later, reaching six hundred billion U.S. dollars would be achievable.

But the gap is still too wide for now.

What does six hundred billion dollars represent? What does a company with a six hundred billion dollar valuation represent?

The highest-valued company in the world currently is Apple Company in M Country, with a total market capitalization of around one trillion two hundred billion U.S. dollars. Reaching half the value of Apple Company means that the company’s products have covered the entire world and have a very broad customer base, with annual profits surely exceeding ten billion U.S. dollars.

Obviously,

Yixing is far from achieving this, and in the short term, will definitely not be able to do so.

After completing the investment negotiations with the wealthy consortium, Zhao Yi immediately contacted the Space Information Technology company, the Advanced Compressed Materials company, and the Aerospace Bureau to directly order the production of twenty Energy-Gathering Satellites.

Now that the financing was halfway done and there was ample monetary support, it was time to start expanding the company’s scale.

The Energy-Gathering Satellite is the basis for energy. freewebnoveℓ.com

With a sufficient energy base, it becomes possible to openly construct Z-wave satellites, small space shuttles, and, of course, even more Unlimited Power Automobiles.

Zhao Yi convened the technology team, preparing to upgrade the Unlimited Power Automobiles.

One aspect is system upgrades.

This could be made available not only to cars already sold but also for upgrading their systems to enhance the cars’ control and safety while conserving as much energy as possible.

The company’s technical department had been studying software and program packages provided by Tesla, having obtained a large amount of source code requiring significant time to sift through. However, by utilizing some functional program packages and piecing them together, it’s possible to enable new functions in the electronic system, providing a more stable and safer service system to the cars.

On the other hand, it was time to develop the second model of the Unlimited Power Automobile.

In the manufacturing process of the Unlimited Power Automobile, many issues were encountered, but lots of experience was also gained; the second model would be an improvement of the first.

At the same time, various designs would be created to meet different aesthetic preferences.

This step was also in preparation for entering overseas markets.

Yixing Unlimited Power Company had not considered reducing features to lower prices temporarily. The company even thought it should enhance performance and features, moderately increasing the selling price, mainly because the production numbers for Unlimited Power Automobiles are limited, far from satisfying market demand.

Only when the high-end market is met and stockpiling of cars occurs, would the company consider reducing features to reduce the price, to invade a lower-end car market segment.

This is a conventional strategy for expansion.

As Yixing Company steadily developed and expanded, the increasing number of Unlimited Power Automobiles in the market, along with Yixing’s frequent deals with various companies, stirred a lot of discussion in public opinion.

What few people noticed, though, was that the Aerospace Bureau and Yixing Technology had announced the successful launch of a satellite.

Perhaps many did notice but didn’t care, as the topic of establishing space lanes had been hot for a while now.

Launching satellites related to the establishment of space lanes seemed a natural progression, and many people also felt that even if a satellite was launched, it was still too far from achieving the leap between Earth and Mars.
