Chapter 65 I Have the Qualification to Point My Hands "A Monthly Pass for Guarantee"

[====== Hand Fighting =====] Great Wall Company has only been established for eleven years, and it is mainly engaged in space technology services and foreign trade business of other aerospace products.

In 1985, China announced that the Long March rocket would enter the international market, and Great Wall Corporation was responsible for market development. Afterwards, the company obtained the exclusive right to operate international commercial satellite launch services and satellite international cooperation.

In 1987, Great Wall Corporation and French Matera Corporation signed a contract at the Paris Air Show to carry their microgravity experimental device on the returnable satellite launched by the Long March 2C carrier rocket. In August of the same year, China's ninth returnable satellite launched by the Long March 2C rocket successfully carried two microgravity experimental devices from the French company Matera, and returned safely that month. This is the first time that Great Wall has signed a business transportation contract to provide on-board transportation services to foreign users.

In November 1988, Great Wall Corporation and Hughes Corporation of the United States signed a contract in Los Angeles, USA, to launch two Australian Aussett-B satellites with the Long March 2 strap-on rocket, which was also China's first commercial satellite launch service contract.

In April 1990, the Long March 3 carrier rocket accurately placed the "Asia-1" satellite manufactured by Hughes Company into geosynchronous orbit at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. China broadcast to the world the live broadcast of the first successful launch of a foreign communication satellite using a self-developed launch vehicle through satellite TV. This success marks that China has entered the international commercial satellite launch service market.

In July 1990, after 18 months of development, the first flight test of the Long March 2 bundled carrier rocket was successful, and the Pakistani satellite it carried was sent into the predetermined orbit. This is the first time that China has carried a foreign satellite. The Long March-2 bundled launch vehicle is the first high-thrust launch vehicle developed by China on the basis of mature technology to meet market demand. Its success has made the Long March rocket's low-earth orbit carrying capacity reach nine points. five tons.

Fan Wubing met Li Ruohai, the vice president of the Great Wall Company who hurried to Shanghai in the lobby downstairs of the hotel.

Li Ruohai is in his forties, but he looks older, his hair has turned gray, but he is still in good spirits, and his elegant aura shows that he himself has also come out of the team of experts.

In fact. Many leaders in Changchen Company,

He is an expert in the industry, not only has a high degree of education, but also has high quality, and has rich experience in rocket launch technology. Li Ruohai is no exception at this time.

"Mr. Li. Hello." Fan Wubing smiled and took Li Ruohai's hand, shaking it twice.

"You are? Mr. Fan?" Li Ruohai was also very surprised to see Fan Wubing, although Deputy Director Zhang had already reminded him that this rich man who bought three satellites manufactured by Hughes Company in one go was a rich man. Young man, but he never thought that Fan Wubing would be so young. No wonder Deputy Director Zhang had a weird expression when he was talking to him.

"Hehe, Mr. Fan is not Mr. Fan, just call me Xiao Fan." Fan Wubing himself had been vacillating between black and white before his rebirth. It is also an illegal business of money laundering. After this rebirth, he no longer needs to do those frightening jobs, but instead plays with industry and capital. However, in his last life, he was very fond of these high-tech industry experts who focused on the motherland. Respect, it has not changed until now, so I saw a senior talent like Li Ruohai. In any case, it is necessary to show a little respect.

However, Li Ruohai is not an ignorant person. No matter how young the boy in front of him is, he is still a rich man who has the ability to buy three most advanced communication satellites to play with. For such a character, the entire Great Wall Company has to try its best to curry favor, how could I neglect the other party because of his young age?

Besides, Li Ruohai also knows one thing, if it is an ordinary young man who relies on the favor of his grandparents to have some wealth, then that's all right, but a super genius like Fan Wubing who obviously made his own world is not something that can be done at will. people ignore. There are ten geniuses out of ten of this kind of people!

Therefore, Fan Wubing also calmly accepted Li Ruohai's respectful gaze, although he was a little shy in his heart, but he was thicker-skinned, so he wouldn't blush and show timidity.

"Mr. Li, boss, should we find a place to talk?" Davis reminded from the side.

Fan Wubing took a look, and found that Li Ruohai had brought two followers, both of whom looked quite sturdy, they seemed to be bodyguards, or they might be security personnel from the Ministry of Security.

You must know that organizations like the Great Wall Company are basically large-scale military industrial enterprises with the government in Beijing. The bosses often have complex identities and have a high degree of secrecy. It is also reasonable to send more bodyguards to protect them.

Li Ruohai did not speak. Although he has been to Shanghai many times, he came and went in a hurry, and did not notice these insignificant things. At this time, Davis proposed to find a place to talk. Can you think of where to go?

Fan Wubing thought for a while, and suggested to Li Ruohai, "Why don't you go to the seaside and sit down? There are too many people in the hotel, so it's not suitable for deep talk."

"No problem, then let's go to the beach." Li Ruohai nodded and agreed.

After walking out of the hotel, they saw that the car Li Ruohai and others were riding in was parked outside. They were two gray Lincolns.

Fan Wubing couldn't help but feel a little surprised. A cadre of Li Ruohai's level doesn't seem to be qualified to ride in this kind of car. The central government has a special document on the issue of car rides. Lincolns are considered high-end cars, and they are within the limit listed.

Li Ruohai saw Fan Wubing's surprise, and explained, "We are specialized in foreign trade and deal with foreigners all day long, so we still need to decorate the facade. This is a car specially approved by the government, which is an exception. used."

Oh, Fan Wubing nodded his head, he thought so, he couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, I just happen to have no car in Shanghai, so I'll take your nice car today."

"That's no problem." Li Ruohai laughed.

Fan Wubing plus Davis and a bodyguard, a total of three people, plus Li Ruohai three people, there are still empty seats in the two cars, so Davis and the bodyguard got into the car led by one of Li Ruohai's entourage, and Li Ruohai and Fan Wubing got into another car, and the bodyguard also acted as the driver.

Huh? Fan Wubing saw that a girl was already seated in the front co-pilot seat. She has long hair and is wearing a dark blue professional suit. It's hard to tell what the front face looks like, but she's in good shape.

"Let's go, look at the sea." Li Ruohai instructed the driver. Then the car started moving.

It is said that it is the seaside, but in fact it is still a distance away. But the fishy smell of the sea breeze is really strong. There is a row of parasols here, and there are people doing business below them. There are quite a few people selling some barbecued seafood, beer, and so on.

Several people found a relatively clean place and sat down. I also ordered some barbecue and beer, and we just ate and talked here, and the atmosphere was not bad.

"Actually, you should get some white wine to eat seafood. But beer is barely enough." Fan Wubing held a grilled crab. While eating, he said to Li Ruohai.

Li Ruohai is not in the mood to eat. His mind is full of things about satellite launches, but he can't rush to sell his business immediately after meeting a client, so he can only drink with Fan Wubing eat.

Although Fan Wubing was young physically, but with his previous life, his mental age was over forty. Naturally, Li Ruohai's thoughts could be seen. Then he smiled and said, "Don't think too much about work. If it wasn't for taking care of your business, why would I buy three satellites all at once? Let's have a good drink today and then discuss the details."

When Li Ruohai heard that Fan Wubing had made this promise, his mood immediately improved. He ordered a beer and said with a smile, "Then I'm not welcome! It's rare to have this opportunity, Mr. Fan, don't say that I am old bullying!"

After more than an hour, all the beer on the ground was drunk, even the girl drank a lot, her face was as red as an apple, Fan Wubing couldn't help but look at it twice.

"Deputy Director Zhang knows you very well?" Li Ruohai couldn't help asking.

When Deputy Director Zhang told Li Ruohai that Fan Wubing had bought the three satellites of Hughes, he once revealed a little bit of information, saying that if the business cannot be negotiated, he would greet him. Li Ruohai deduced from this that Zhang The deputy director must be very familiar with Fan Wubing, otherwise it would be impossible to say such a thing with such great confidence.

"Very familiar, we have known each other for more than ten years." Fan Wubing recalled that when he was three and a half years old, he went to Guangzhou with his father Fan Heng, and when he met Director Zhang for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. It's been twelve years, how time flies!

Thinking about the events of these years, it really feels like a dream.

Li Ruohai heard this, but felt a little baffled, thinking that Fan Wubing is only so old, and he has known Deputy Director Zhang for more than ten years? But after thinking about it, it seemed that he had heard that Fan Wubing's father was the mayor of a certain prefecture-level city, or that the two of them might be family friends.

"Hey, let's not mention this. Friendship is friendship, and business is business. I would like to ask by the way, how much did you estimate for the launch of three satellites?" Fan Wubing half-lyed on the recliner, and asked the same office Li Ruohai asked beside him.

After listening to Fan Wubing's question, Li Ruohai waved to the girl next to him.

The girl took out a document from her purse and handed it to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing glanced at it. There were a lot of detailed budgets written on it, and a price was estimated at the back. It was settled in US dollars, 36 million US dollars per piece, which was the same as the price quoted by Great Wall Company to Osset Company. of.

This price is acceptable. After all, in order to grab business from foreign companies, Great Wall Company lowered the price very low, basically making no profit. The same price was given to Fan Wubing, which was very authentic.

In this case, the launch cost of the three satellites is 108 million U.S. dollars, plus the insurance cost, which is about the same as the launch cost, a total of 220 million U.S. dollars, including the 300 million U.S. dollars for the satellite purchase, A total of more than 500 million US dollars.

This thing is so expensive! Fan Wubing couldn't help shaking his head.

However, thinking that Wal-Mart spent 700 to 800 million U.S. dollars to build a global sales network, I still got a lot of credit. At least the 200 to 300 million U.S. dollars saved can be used for ground terminal construction and software construction. .

"This price is already the base price, but we still hope to increase the price in publicity, otherwise the market will not be easy to do in the future." Li Ruohai saw that Fan Wubing had no objection to his quotation, so he put forward his own proposal. Require.

"That's not a problem. It's about benefiting others and yourself." Fan Wubing replied with a nod.

"There is another one, that is, we hope that the launch time can be ahead of the Aoxing land." Li Ruohai made another request.

"Oh? Why is that?" Fan Wubing asked a little puzzled.

Li Ruohai took a sip of beer and explained to Fan Wubing, "Because the Austar and the satellite you bought are actually of the same type, so they are consistent in various parameters and performances. And our long two bundles have been developed since last year. After the success, a Pakistani satellite has been successfully launched into the sky. But you also know that the mass of the Australian satellite is much heavier than the Pakistani satellite, so we still hope that by launching your satellite, yes Long two bundles of rockets for a full correction."

Oh, it's been a long time. They used my satellite as an experimental product!

But Fan Wubing didn't have much dissatisfaction with this, after all, he had already made it very clear, and the price was also given to the lowest level, and he would not be indecent if he came or went. It is also natural to make a little contribution yourself.

However. Fan Wubing knew a little bit about the Great Wall Company. He remembered that before he was reborn, there was a problem with the first launch of Aoxing. Fortunately, the star and arrow were saved, but the second launch was successful after a delay of three months. , but when the second Ausat was launched, there was a major accident. The satellite exploded after liftoff. lost heavily.

With this understanding, Fan Wubing had no choice but to give Liu Ruohai some advice. So he pondered for a while and said, "The performance of your long two-bundle is relatively reliable, but one thing needs to be pointed out, the problem often does not appear in the rocket design itself, but in the processing, especially pay attention to those parts. Any defect will cause the failure of the launch. As for launching my satellite first, there is no problem, after all, the sooner the satellite goes to the sky, the sooner I can make a profit."

Li Ruohai said in his heart, if you didn't have a satellite, we would need a satellite launch mission, and we probably wouldn't be able to get together. It seems that you, an ordinary person, can't give you any advice on this kind of technical work, right? But of course you can't say that, he assured Fan Wubing, "Every process of ours is the most stringent, and the rocket always goes through dozens of checks before it takes off. The low-level mistakes you mentioned are absolutely not wrong." possible place!"

Fan Wubing smiled, and said to himself your guarantee, that is to say, it's just a statement, when it comes to a problem, no one's guarantee can solve the problem. But this kind of thing is really difficult to talk about. Only when the accident happens, people can believe your words. After all, scientific researchers are also very particular about face, especially in the field full of self-confidence.

But as soon as the words came out, Liu Ruohai always felt a little uncomfortable, especially that girl, who looked at Fan Wubing with a look of disdain, just like how people in the city look at a rich man.

Fan Wubing thought to himself, it's not that I'm dark in my heart, nor do I want to curse you, it's really that when you have an accident, you won't have this expression. I won't mention this anymore at the moment, it's just drinking and chatting.

Li Ruohai talked with Fan Wubing here all afternoon before leaving, because the follow-up matters have to be discussed in a long-term manner, so he is not in a hurry, but left Fan Wubing his contact information in Beijing and Xichang Satellite Launch Center .

Fan Wubing sent Li Ruohai away, and when he returned to the hotel, his staff came to report that Mr. Maximus from Hughes Company was already waiting in the guest room.

"What business does this old man want me for?" Fan Wubing drank six or seven bottles of beer before going to the bathroom to fill the water. Hearing the news, he couldn't help frowning, knowing that his purchase expenses had already been covered. What else can he do with the account of the Hughes Company?

After rubbing his aching temples, Fan Wubing walked into the room.

"Aha, Mr. Fan!" The old Jewish man Maximus was sitting on the sofa watching TV, when he saw Fan Wubing came back, he immediately stood up excitedly and warmly greeted him.

"Mr. Maximus, you came late at night, there must be something important?" Fan Wubing asked Davis to pour a cup of tea for Maximus, and then found a box of cigars and threw it over.

"Oh, Cuban goods, not bad!" Maximus is also a person who knows the goods. Seeing that the cigars handed over by Fan Wubing are actually handmade cigars from Cuba, his eyes light up, and he skillfully picks up the small cigars in the box. Scissors, cut off the tail, and then slightly roasted it on the flames. After lighting it up, it looked like it was enjoying itself.

"I'm here this time to discuss the launch with you. Our American company is very interested in this business, so I hope I can come over and see if there is any chance of cooperation?" Maxi Moss said to Fan Wubing while swallowing.

"I don't need to worry about this. I just finalized this deal with the Great Wall Company. Their price is good. It is estimated that the American company will not be able to lower this amount." Fan Wubing said to Maximos indifferently.

"Oh, what a pity! It seems that I am still one step late!" Maximus shrugged regretfully, and said to Fan Wubing, "However, it is not unreasonable for you to choose Great Wall Company, the American rocket launch company It has been at a low ebb recently. I don’t think they have much self-confidence due to repeated launch failures in the early stage. It’s just that the Great Wall Company made a profit this time. In addition to the two satellites from Australia’s Osset Company, they won a total of five satellites. What is even more enviable is that the five satellites are of the same type, and they can be referred to each other, so the workload is much smaller. Therefore, even if the price they quoted is very low, there are still many Great money!"

Fan Wubing thought about it carefully, and what Maximus said was not unreasonable. The preparations for launching five different types of satellites must be quite cumbersome, while five satellites of the same type are relatively simple. It seems that the people of Great Wall Company are quite shrewd.

"However, there is another problem. When we signed the contract, we seemed to forget to emphasize it." The Jewish old man Maximus said to Fan Wubing.

"Is there?" Fan Wubing asked after being stunned for a moment.

"Of course." Maximus nodded and said, "It's about the costs we need to pay for the security work we undertake during the process of sending the satellite from the factory to the rocket's launch platform."

"Is there such a fee?" Fan Wubing touched his chin and said, "I said, old man, you are not authentic! Why isn't this item reflected in the contract? You bring it up now, and I I can sue you for breaking the contract!"

The old Jewish man scratched his head and said, "This is a common practice in the industry. In order not to leak the company's business information and technology, the satellite manufacturing company sends the satellite to the rocket platform by itself, and our people are responsible for the installation. and commissioning, and the relevant expenses provided by the consignee are reasonable and impeccable. If there is something wrong with this, it is that we have never sold this kind of communication satellite, which represents the highest level of technology, to Over a natural person."
