Chapter 1807 work hard for the dream
Just when everyone on the scene was shocked by Li Mu's ambitions, Li Mu drank a sip of water and said very devotedly:
"The reason why human technology has developed forward is nothing more than three huge factors: profit, war and dream."
"The enlightenment of modern technology originated from the industrial revolution, and the driving force behind the industrial revolution is that business owners pursue greater profits;"
"The nuclear technology that brings new clean energy to all mankind comes from the huge driving force of the Second World War on weapons technology;"
"The rocket technology that helps humans launch satellites and explore the moon and other celestial bodies also originated from World War II;"
"The Wright brothers built planes so that humans can fly, relying on the dream of flying in their hearts."
"In this peaceful era, as entrepreneurs, we have made too many efforts to pursue profits. Now it is time to work hard for our dreams!"
For Li Mu, if you don’t do it, you must do it. If you want to do it, you must do it.
Even if this project requires hundreds of billions of dollars of funds, it doesn’t matter. After all, this kind of investment is like paying a mortgage. It has been shared for twenty years and the pressure is not too great.
As long as you can send someone to Mars in your lifetime, this matter will be done.
From then on, I was like Armstrong, which was a great precedent for mankind. In the future, in addition to leaving a few companies and entrepreneurial stories for the world, I can also leave such a feat for mankind. I believe that even hundreds of years later, I will still be remembered by the world.
Li Mu did not seek fame, but felt that after a person lives for a lifetime, after solving his own material and spiritual needs, his level will naturally rise to the next stage.
When you have money that you can’t spend, how to use this wealth becomes a problem before you.
I now have several extremely large companies, among which Makino Technology has even made its business worldwide. I have also invested in many potential companies, and it will be easy to gain more than one trillion US dollars in the future.
But, for one trillion US dollars, how can you spend it?
It makes no sense to argue that buying a million houses, or hundreds or thousands of large passenger planes, is that it is meaningless, and no rich man will spend so much money.
For Li Mu, buying a property in every place he likes in the world is nothing more than ten villas. Even if you buy mountains, islands, seas, and land, how much can you spend?
As for aircraft, isn’t one or two enough? If not enough, three or four are always enough, right?
Other luxury goods are no longer luxury goods, but garbage in the face of trillions of dollars of wealth.
In terms of proportion, a super limited edition Hermes worth 100,000 US dollars is nothing more than one-ten million of the total wealth.
Buying a Hermes like this is like a millionaire spending a dollar to buy a lollipop. This kind of thing is not considered a luxury.
So, what should I do with the remaining money?
There are two ways to operate routinely. First, inherit it to future generations.
Like those rich people in Hong Kong and the United States, they took out large sums of funds to establish a fund for their descendants to ensure that each descendant can get a considerable living expenses from the fund every month. With a lot of funds, the global diversified allocation fund will be added, and then strict fund use restrictions will be added. As long as the global economy does not collapse as a whole, it can basically last until human beings perish. However, Li Mu did not want to do this. He hoped that his descendants could rely on their own foundation. If such a good basic foundation is still in a state of difficulty, then such descendants deserve to live a hard life;
Second, donate all of them to charity.
Donating money is of course OK, but charity is about giving fish, not about fish. I have never seen the rich man directly take out hundreds of billions and wave his hand to share the poor people all over the world. He uses money to donate education, medical care, create more jobs, and drive the economy of backward areas. Therefore, charity also requires a lot of energy, like starting a business, and it is impossible to use all the money to do charity.
Therefore, you can plan the third path in advance: a major event that will be celebrated throughout the ages.
Elon Musk also had the same idea. He was even more extreme than Li Mu and was willing to bet on all his wealth for this matter.
...
Soon, Li Mu's decision to explore Mars and immigrate to Mars shocked the whole world.
Before him, no rich man had made public statements about space.
As soon as Li Mu opened his mouth, he would take out at least 10 billion US dollars to support this project to become a reality, which really shocked the ordinary people.
For a time, media around the world were reporting on Li Mu's space dream, and Li Mu himself announced on his Weibo and Twitter that he would officially recruit space partners to the world.
In his words, this project may not necessarily bring huge cash returns to investors, but it is indeed an extremely meaningful and even famous event.
For those rich people with a net worth of "billion US dollars", the pressure to participate in a wave is not huge.
Li Mu will not let them pay for money in vain. As long as the funds are more than 10 million US dollars, the entire immigration project will continue to be exposed, and it will also have a good publicity effect on the investors themselves.
What Li Mu didn't expect was that the first person to follow up on his investment in the immigration to Mars project was Google's Larry Page.
Larry Page immediately announced on his Weibo and Twitter that he would invest $1 billion in the plans to immigrate to Mars in the next 20 years.
Since being abused by Li Muxue, Larry Page has regarded him as an idol in life. After seeing Li Mu’s press conference, his first thought was: Damn, awesome! I have to participate in such awesome things!
Google's stock price is now rising well, and with Li Mu's escort, in the future, Google will definitely have no rivals in other markets except the Chinese market, so its value will be at least over 10 billion US dollars, or even hundreds of billion US dollars, and its promise of 1 billion US dollars can be said to be relatively cautious. If economic conditions allow in the future, it will continue to add more.
Li Mu's business partners also followed suit. On Wanying Real Estate, Song Liang, Chen Ze and Weilan decided to take out 20% of their personal income in the next 20 years to support the immigration plan to Mars. Li Mu only had 10%.
As for Muye Technology, Master Lei, Senior Brother Liu and other senior executives have also signed subsidy agreements at a ratio of 10%.
When they made a decision, Li Mu repeatedly explained that he would not make any demands on such matters, and should not think that he had invested. Everyone should also express their opinions, and it depends entirely on their situation and ideas. If they really want to invest, they will invest.
However, the feedback everyone gave him was that everyone was very excited about the project.
Even if you can't see the project you invest in in your lifetime, you are still willing to give it a try!
