In 198, American businessmen claimed that the moon was privately owned and auctioned the land on the moon. What happened later?
There are many fairy tales and poems describing the moon in China to express people's good wishes. This is because the moon belongs to each of us, and we can see it when we look up, no matter where we are or when we see it.
However, an American man claimed that he owned and dominated the moon. In fact, it has long been stipulated that stars, planets and other celestial bodies do not belong to any country or region, but there is a huge loophole in this regulation, that is, individuals are not prohibited from owning the right to use and belong to these celestial bodies. This man obviously exploited this loophole. So in 198, Dennis Hope, an American, applied to the American government for a notarized certificate. Since then, the moon has been owned by him personally.
What makes people curious is how did this American come up with it? The answer is simple, because he took one more look at the moon on a full moon night, and he felt that the moon was his own, so he submitted an application to the US government. After having the moon, how does Dennis want to make money from it?
He started a company to watch the moon, and he was going to charge everyone who looked up at the moon one dollar, that is, seven yuan. Obviously, his idea is that people will beat him when he walks on the road. Soon, his plan came to an end.
Facing the bankrupt company, Dennis came up with another plan. He set up the lunar land management company and the lunar embassy, became the king on the moon himself, and auctioned the land on the moon in order to profit from it. This time, the plan didn't fail, and many people responded positively. In the United States, he auctioned it at a price of $2 an acre, and he also invited stars to shoot advertisements to promote his company. It is rumored that he has sold hundreds of millions of acres of land.
Later, he put his idea into China, a fertile land, where the price is 298 yuan per acre. Now many people may say that only fools buy it, but at that time, the cause of landing on the moon was developing rapidly, and people still kept a mysterious veil about the moon. Dennis's propaganda slogan said that as long as he bought his land, when he landed on the moon in the future, they would be landlords on the moon and could inherit it forever, which was simply very attractive to China people who traditionally believed that land was their destiny. So his business was successfully established in China.
Of course, Dennis's career finally came to an end. Because he violated the laws of China, his company was closed down and most of his income was confiscated.
