New York.

The heart of Manhattan Island.

The morning sun rises on Wall Street as usual, but unlike in the past, the orderly busyness and tranquility are shattered by a piece of news that surprises everyone.

A fast-food restaurant around the corner.

Most of the people who sit here to eat are employees who work nearby. Although it is only a small shop with a per capita cost of less than $10, because of its convenience and low price, the little-known little transparent will come here, and the famous people on this street will occasionally appear here.

In a windowside position, two white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes, who looked like they were working nearby, ordered two ribs, and talked in a surprised and unbelievable tone while eating breakfast.

"Have you heard of that?"

“…… Heard of what? ”

"Tenkura Five! Headlines in the Wall Street Journal! That extraterrestrial planet colonization fund with a registered capital of 10 billion! God, you missed even such exciting news! ”

What is the Amakura Five?

The man sitting across from him obviously didn't figure out the situation, but when he heard about the ten billion, he was still reflexively startled, so much so that the fork in his hand almost fell off.

"Shhh...... Billion? Extraterrestrial Planet Colonization? What's the situation? ”

"It is Professor Lu, who made the theory of hyperspace some time ago, and last year's Nobel Prize winner in physics! He registered a fund with a scale of 10 billion RMB in Shanghai, and took the 'colonization of the Tiancang Five Star System' as the target! The investment strategy is to focus on the space-related industry chain, with the goal of achieving colonization outside the star system within 200 years, and maintaining the initial maintenance cost of the colony after the success of the colonization plan......"

The mouth was dry, and the white-collar worker smashed his tongue and continued.

"I've never heard of such an ambitious investment plan...... The 'redemption time' is directly set in a hundred years, and it is also the aerospace industry chain with the highest risk of heavy positions. And if someone else gets the first step on that Tencang Five, or if there is no habitable planet there at all, wouldn't the effort be in vain? ”

Of course, all in vain is just an exaggeration, if the plan of Colonial Tiancang V cannot be completed, you can also adjust the strategy after confirming that it is impossible, change it to a place like Colonial South Gate II, or directly use the mainstream currency of the time to settle and redeem, that is, the liquidation of funds.

It's not so much a fund as a trust product, where money is paid now and future beneficiaries are designated. The person who came up with this thing must be a genius, and the only fly in the ointment is probably that this genius is probably crazy......

The companion sitting across from him couldn't help but speak after listening carefully.

"Privatize a certain planet? Will anyone admit to this kind of thing? ”

The white-collar worker shook his head and said.

"Who cares? Anyway, there is no ZF in that place, and no one has ever been there! A hundred years from now, the law will not allow enclosure in outer space to be left alone, and it is not a violation under the current law alone. After all, it is not publicly available, nor does it involve publicity to non-specific groups, and although the target is a little strange, it is just engaged in normal investment activities...... Regulation should still be relatively loose. ”

What's more, Professor Lu is also the number one person in China, and the rules that bind ordinary people and enterprises are not fully applicable to him.

As for whether this fund is still there in a hundred years......

It depends on the ability of the fund manager.

However, after hearing that it would not be released, the companion sitting opposite him slammed the table with his right fist and said with disappointment written on his face.

"No public offering? Fack! This guy eats alone! ”

The white-collar raised his eyebrows: "What?" Are you interested? ”

"Not interested...... What's the use of saying this now? What if I'm interested? Shaking his head, the companion continued, "If someone else had registered this thing, I would have been an April Fool's Day joke at best, but this fund was registered by Professor Lu!" ”

The white-collar worker said with a smile.

"How do you know that Professor Lu isn't joking?"

The companion sitting opposite him asked rhetorically.

"Have you ever seen him joking?"

“……”

Sitting nearby, listening to the chatter at the next table, Frion sat stunned and paused for a few moments, until the two suit-clad clerks hurried away after finishing the ribs on their plates, and he realized that he had finished eating the sandwich in his hand.

It's been on this street for almost a decade.

Although he didn't have a particularly big name, Frion was also well-informed.

In the past, he had heard of a fund whose main business was to "explore new celestial bodies and sell asteroid naming rights", but it was the first time he had heard of a fund with a registered capital of hundreds of millions of yuan, with "colonization and development rights of extrasolar planets" and "land ownership" as the subject matter.

If that Professor Lu is serious......

Somehow, he suddenly remembered the hyperspace theory that caused a sensation in the world some time ago.

Countless media have evaluated it as another epoch-making theory after the era of relativity, and even the professor of high-energy physics at Princeton, who was once on Time magazine, stood up for this theory, saying that it opened the door to the interstellar age in a real sense and provided a possibility for light-year navigation.

If that Professor Lu is serious, it is obviously because he discovered something in advance that others have not discovered!

A crazy thought popped into Frien's head, and it got out of hand.

Gulping down the last few leaves on his plate, he threw a large bill with Franklin on the table, threw a "after your tip" at the waiter who came to settle the bill, and hurried out of the restaurant.

As fast as he could, he rummaged through his wallet and finally found a piece of change and threw it on the table.

"A Wall Street Journal, the latest issue!"

"It's a good time for you to come," said the old man, grinning, as he removed the last newspaper from the shelf, "this issue of the newspaper sold surprisingly well, and only the last one remained." ”

"Thank you."

Picking up the paper, Frion hurried back to the company's office and spread it out on the table.

He didn't need to do much searching, the crimson star with a question mark in the middle was so generously printed on the front page of the first page of the newspaper.

The accompanying text next to it makes a concise explanation of the content of the headlines

[Tiancang V (T Cetus) Alien Galaxy Colonization Foundation was registered, and the world's first astronomical exploration fund with a scale of more than 100 million yuan was born! 】

In the news, not only the background of the fund's registration is introduced, but also the known parameters of Tiancang 5 are listed in detail, as well as the academic debate about how many planets are in the Tiancang 5 star system and whether there may be terrestrial planets among them...... But that's not the point.

Since that land boat chose it, it must mean that there is indeed such a terrestrial planet there, or at least it won't be too far off!

After a quick glance at the title, Frien quickly looked at the main text.

Then, his eyes couldn't be taken away, and a blazing light bloomed.

"Shet! What a genius idea. ”

Unlike the two white-collar workers who sat by the window and talked about it, in addition to the amazing courage, he also saw a business opportunity behind it.

A business opportunity that can make him a lot of money!

There is no doubt that this news that appeared on the front page of Chinatown Daily will definitely cause a huge sensation around the world. Judging from people's current enthusiasm for aerospace and the future world, there will definitely be a huge amount of capital pouring into the aerospace industry under the impetus of this trend.

Breathing became rapid, but soon, Frien's eyes became alert.

Even what he can think of, he believes others can think of too!

Now there is no time for hesitation at all!

Realizing this, he quickly got up from his chair and called his department head, asking for two days off in a row.

Hanging up the phone in a surprised tone from the head of the department, he got up from his chair and hurriedly cleaned up the things on the table.

He only expects one thing now.

That is, I move fast enough.

It's best to be in front of all the people who want to go with themselves......
