Lease the port?

Musk's proposal somewhat surprised Jiang Chen.

In Celestial Trade's internal discussion about the profitability model of the space elevator, there was indeed options to lease the port at Celestial City.

Since it was a one-man market, the scale was limited. Rather than sharing one cake alone, it was better to make the cake bigger with everyone, and then be the person cutting the cake. Only when everyone participated in the giant market could Celestial Trade maximize its profit while avoiding unnecessary conflicts.

Imagine this, the entire world's development of space resources must be done through the space elevator in Xin. All the freights must stop at the base station underneath the space elevator. All the resources from outer space must be transported from Xin's port to the rest of the world. What would this mean to Xin's economy, currency, and international standing?

Competition? Of course there would be competition.
