Silicon Valley
Chapter 517 Car aircraft
"Henry Williams is out!"
"Go, go to the interview!"
"It's definitely not a trivial matter that so many Internet bigwigs come to the meeting, it must be a big event that has caused a sensation in the world!"
"Isn't this nonsense!!!"
"..."
After a while, a large group of "wolves and tigers" surrounded Henry. Fortunately, Henry also had a lot of bodyguards, who stopped them all 4 meters away.
Countless reporters rushed forward desperately, and shouted at the top of their voices: "Mr. Williams, so many Internet bigwigs came to the meeting today, what are they discussing?"
"Sorry, no comment!" Henry said lightly, "When I should know, I will tell you of course!"
The reporter still did not give up and kept asking. Henry ignored him, and finally got into the car under the escort of bodyguards. However, the reporters are a kind of creatures that are not afraid of death. They all surrounded the car, so that the car was so slow that it couldn't drive out at all. Henry frowned, and gave a few words to a bodyguard.
Hearing this, the bodyguard nodded, and then got out of the car and shouted loudly: "Everyone get out of the way, don't crowd around here, I warn you, if this Luna Rolls-Royce car is scratched, you will be killed." You have to pay 1 million U.S. dollars in compensation, do you know that!"
When the bodyguard yelled, the reporters were scared away. Fuck, the compensation is 1 million U.S. dollars, who would dare to go over there!
As soon as the reporters dispersed, the Rolls-Royce flew away like a gust of wind!
Henry shook his head and sighed: "The reporters are really annoying. If there are flying cars, I will fly over them and see how they stop the cars!!!"
Huh, flying car? !
Henry's eyes lit up suddenly, yes, why not develop a flying car? How crazy is this thing!
In fact, Henry has seen many flying cars, or aircraft, through the Internet in his previous life, but it is difficult to commercialize them because of the relatively high cost! But who is Henry, the richest man in the world, among other things, he has a lot of money.
"I just started an aircraft company. I don't want to make money. I just develop aircraft for myself! I'm rich and self-willed, what's the matter!"
Henry unconsciously imagined that he would fly this aircraft over the city, over the heads of passers-by, and pass by the balcony or bathroom of beautiful women, oh, what a wind!
I want to fly higher, fly higher! ! !
Although for a long time, due to technology or price factors, the aircraft will not be popularized, but this is likely to be a development trend! Although humans are already able to fly planes into the sky, it is the pilot who is driving, not himself. The feeling of flying an aircraft by yourself and galloping in the sky is definitely not comparable to flying in a passenger plane!
"James, go to the headquarters of spaceX!" Henry said.
"Yes!" The driver nodded.
In terms of aerospace technology alone, spaceX is the best in the world! Henry wants to build a "personal flying machine", and it's right to find someone from here.
The headquarters of spaceX is also in the Williams Center. Within five minutes, Henry came to the company.
"Mr. Williams, you came just in time, I have something to inform you!" SpaceX CEO Dr. Dick Butt said excitedly.
"Okay, tell me, I'm listening!"
Twelve years have passed since the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The expert from the former Soviet Union looked like a middle-aged man full of energy. In a blink of an eye, his hair was all white, and he was 60 years old. Henry couldn't help sighing in his heart, time flies, how fast it flies!
Dr. Dickbart nodded, and then said: "Mr. Williams, SpaceX plans to make the first rocket recovery attempt on January 15th!"
When Henry heard this, he couldn't help being surprised, and quickly asked, "How sure are you?"
"60%!"
"It's more than halfway through..." Henry continued to ask, "Where will this rocket recovery experiment be carried out!"
"We have considered two points. The first is to be near the equator, because the gravity of the equator is small, which can reduce the difficulty; the second is to be at sea, because in this way, even if it fails, the rocket will not fall and cause other deaths. Loss. Therefore, we decided to purchase the 'launch pad' of the Sea Launch Company, and then drive to the Pacific Ocean to conduct rocket recovery experiments!"
Sea Launch Company is the only company in the world that provides sea launch services. It was established in 1995 and was jointly invested by four companies from the United States, Russia, Ukraine and Norway. It launched its first rocket in March 1999. Among them, Boeing Company occupies 40% of the shares. Therefore, Sea Launch Company is currently mainly managed by Boeing Company and jointly operated by other shareholders.
Looking at the company's shareholder members, you can know that it is definitely not easy to acquire this company.
In fact, with the strength of spaceX, it is natural to establish a sea launch company. However, Henry feels that there is no need to spend energy on it. Aerospace companies are fighting for space technology after all. As long as the technology is good, where to launch it's the same.
"Well, on that day, I will pay special attention to this matter!"
With that said, the two came to the office.
After sitting down, Henry said, "Actually, I am here this time to transfer some people from SpaceX to form a company that manufactures personal flying vehicles?"
"Personal flying vehicle?"
"Yes, it's very sci-fi, just like the aircraft in the movie, it can fly freely in the city!"
Dr. Dickbart nodded, expressing his understanding, "Okay, Mr. Williams, I will transfer a group of outstanding talents to you."
"Well... In addition, you asked someone to register an offshore company in the Cayman Islands. The name is called Williams Aircraft Company. The company will be under my own name for the time being!" Henry said after thinking for a while.
"OK!"
Henry then began to listen to Dr. Dickbart's introduction of the company's development, and chatted until the evening.
At this moment, the external media has gone crazy.
The "Los Angeles Times" said: "This morning, dozens of Internet leaders from all over the world gathered in the Williams Laboratory for a meeting. Could it be that the Internet is about to set off a huge storm that we don't know!!"
"The New York Times" said: "Someone found that Apple CEO Jobs also attended this gathering of Internet giants. Could it be that this meeting has something to do with Apple?"
A gossip newspaper said: "Although Henry Williams is the richest man in the world, he is very stingy. When the reporters stopped in front of his car, he asked his bodyguards to threaten everyone that if he rubbed off the first floor of the Rolls-Royce Pi, we will claim $1 million!"
"..."
AOL Nervous: "What the hell is Henry Williams doing?!!"
Computer companies such as Hewlett-Packard and Dell were very puzzled: "This time dozens of Internet giants are going to a meeting, why is Apple joining in the fun? Is there a conspiracy?"
