In fact, none of these four projects have been invested the most in summer.

The biggest project he invested in was actually "aerospace".

The journey of mankind is the sea of ​​stars!

Because the resources on the earth are very limited and cannot meet the needs of everyone. And every war in human history has almost been fought for resources. For example, water, grass, oil, and food...

Therefore, the final destiny of mankind is either to compete for resources, fight to the death, and finally turn the earth into a scorched earth; or to try to find new resources to meet human needs.

Compared with the earth with limited resources, the vast universe is the real treasure house of resources.

Just like the elements such as deuterium and tritium that are most needed for nuclear fusion, the stock on the earth is very rare and the cost of extraction is very high.

However, such elements have a large reserve on the moon. If the aerospace technology is high enough, then the moon can be turned into a mine on the earth and a large number of elements such as deuterium and tritium can be developed.

After being supplemented by these resources, the earth's resources will be greatly enriched, which can meet the production and living needs of billions or even tens of billions of people.

In addition to the moon, several major planets in the solar system also contain extremely rich resources, which can be collected to build space stations or space factories, etc.

If we want to collect minerals on these planets and set up space stations or space factories, it is obvious that aerospace technology needs to be developed.

At present, China's aerospace technology is still relatively backward and has not yet achieved manned space flight, let alone landing on the moon.

Xia Tian knew that in 2003, China completed manned space flight for the first time. This was more than 40 years later than the United States and Russia.

However, China's aerospace technology has developed rapidly. After the first manned space flight in 2003, it carried out spacewalks in less than five years, and launched the Tiangong-1 Space Laboratory in one year... It can be said that it is a step by step, both developing rapidly and at the same time, and the pace is steady, demonstrating its strong technical strength.

...

The development of aerospace industry has many meanings. In addition to de-space mining and meeting the growing resource needs of mankind, it is also of great benefit to biology, medicine, communications, seed production, surveying, navigation and other aspects.

Not to mention how important it is to occupy aerospace advantage to military and national defense.

Therefore, aerospace must be developed, otherwise it will be left far behind by others.

Xia Tian also hopes to promote the development of the domestic aerospace industry. At that time, he can become the Malon Max and make great aerospace wealth.

So he did not hesitate to invest 2 billion US dollars to make achievements in the aerospace field.

And for his investment, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering are also very welcome.

On the one hand, aerospace industry needs a lot of money to develop. Everything from the research and development of aerospace equipment to the training of aerospace personnel requires money.

In 1998, the country was not very rich. Although it attached importance to aerospace, its funds were still limited, which made it difficult for many projects to get started. With the money in the summer, many of their projects could be re-launched, which is naturally a good thing for them.

On the one hand, the aerospace industry seems high-end, but is actually closely related to people's livelihood. Cooperating with the Tianxia Group in Xiatian can quickly convert the achievements of aerospace into civil use and commercialization, which is actually of great benefit to the people and the country.

For example, the GPS positioning system was initially only used in military affairs, but the commercial potential it exploded after it was converted to civilian use is almost immeasurable, driving industries worth hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars.

GPS is just a small achievement made in the aerospace process. There are more important and more valuable products than it.

The commercial potential of these products can be developed in the summer, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering can also make money with these products and continue to support scientific research. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

If we include the increase in tax revenue in the government and the improvement of people's lives, the significance of this cooperation will be even more significant.

...

Just as the summer is busy conducting research and inspection, James Cameron's "Titanic" has dominated the box office list for six weeks. The cumulative box office in North America has reached 550 million US dollars, while the cumulative global box office has exceeded 380 million US dollars, and the total box office has reached nearly 1 billion US dollars, which has long broken the record of movie box office in history.

What is terrifying is that it has been three months since the release of "Titanic". If it were other movies, the film would have been released in three months.

However, the attendance rate of "Titanic" is still strong. Many viewers are not satisfied after watching it once, and they come back to watch it several times.

There is even a female movie fan who likes this movie so much that since the screening, she has been watching it all the time, which can be said to be quite supportive.

Thanks to these enthusiastic audiences, the box office of "Titanic" has been rising steadily and has repeatedly broken records.

The media, film critics and opponents who had previously been crazy about dissipating the summer, believed that he had invested 200 million US dollars and were completely useless, are now being slapped in the face by this shining report card.

The income of the work "Titanic" is more than their struggle for a year. In the face of such achievements, the more sour they become, the more embarrassing they are. They can only shut up and watch the summer scenery with their eyes.

Before the summer, I bought the entire film project of "Titanic" from Forbes, and then invested in allowing James Cameron to continue filming, with a total investment of more than $200 million.

Before, many people were not optimistic about this deal and thought it would likely lose money. But the truth now is that Xia Tian made a lot of money with this movie.

Based on the current box office share, I have already received $600 million in summer. After deducting the cost, I have made a net profit of $400 million. Such a large amount of money is really jealous.

You should know that in the 1990s, the box office of movies exceeded 100 million, which was already a very good result. Many film companies, even Hollywood giants, made less than 100 million US dollars a year, so they naturally blushed.

What made them even more jealous was that 400 million US dollars was a dream for them, but for summer, it was just a drop in the bucket.

In his opinion, the achievements that ordinary people cannot achieve in their entire lives are just an embellishment on the cake. This is really a comparison of people and is so annoying!

Xia was also very happy to learn that "Titanic" had such a high box office. What made him even more happy was that at the upcoming Oscars ceremony in 1998, "Titanic" was nominated for 14 awards, which can be said to be a unique feat.
