Chapter 1135: Buy It for Yourself
(A large chapter of 4K words, this chapter was deleted, written and deleted, and revised many times before I was a little satisfied, and it was posted late...)
Vice President Gao looked down, and immediately blushed.
Fortunately, Ding Yihui just made a complaint, then diverted his attention, and took a newspaper to read it carefully.
Xiao An and others also gathered around, Xiao An glanced at it, wondering, "How is it possible for their price?"
The cost of microsatellites has always been around 100,000 US dollars, but it can be reduced to a few thousand yuan announced by Xinghui Aerospace, all thanks to one thing, that is the "Bridge of Stars".
But the bridge of stars was built in China, and the shareholders are Lanshen and China Aerospace, and only they can get the cost price.
In addition, neither spacex nor NASA has any way to reduce the launch cost to such a low level, and it is even impossible to connect close.
"Could it be that they plan to burn money to grab market share first?" Another male student wondered.
"A user burns 100,000 US dollars?" Ding Yihui rolled his eyes, classmate, what are you thinking?
Compared with the price of 100,000 US dollars and 399 US dollars, there is really too much difference. Although there are many merchants in the world who sell products cheaply and sell consumables at high prices to make money, this price ratio can be regarded as giving away a luxury car for free. Make money by selling oil.
How many oil money can burn hundreds of thousands?
How much gas do you have to sell to earn enough money for a luxury car?
So far, no merchant has dared to do this, because everyone is not stupid.
These aerospace companies in the United States are certainly not stupid.
They do so, naturally have their reliance.
"Because there is an earth trebuchet..." Vice President Gao sighed.
The knockoff company is currently only pre-ordered, with a launch six months away.
At that time, the earth trebuchet will be fully completed, and these aerospace companies will all have a small amount of shares in the earth trebuchet. With the throughput of the earth trebuchet, these micro-satellites can be launched at will, and the cost is only will be lower.
Book in advance, seize market share, cut out the cake in advance, and cut as much as you can, this is the purpose of helight.
"Ah?" Hearing Vice President Gao say this, several people were shocked: "Is this okay? This is too shameless!"
As he said that, he still didn't forget to give Vice President Gao a look: "More shameless than you!"
Vice President Gao could only laugh.
China Aerospace just copied a concept, and Helight is planning to copy the product along with it...
Who said that China is a copycat country?
At this moment, the teenagers felt another 10,000 alpacas running past in their hearts, but they couldn't say a word. Shopping malls are like battlefields, so it can only be said that these children are too immature, and these are just normal business methods.
Seeing the disappointment and anger of the teenagers, Vice President Gao's heart moved, and he suddenly had an idea. He tentatively said, "In six months, they may be able to make up for the gap in technology..."
"Impossible." Ding Yihui shook his head and said, "It's impossible for six months..."
He really understands the difficulty of this technique.
Ding Yihui and the others have all studied in the Lazy God Library, and then Chen Haocong threw them the required materials, most of the parts and codes. What they have to do is to integrate the existing technologies. Even so, they It took a lot of effort, but I still haven't figured out what to do.
"That's right, they don't have the technology! They will definitely not be able to compete with us!" Xiao An's eyes lit up.
"I said girl!" Vice President Gao sighed and said, "Don't you understand now? Helight doesn't care about technology at all. There are 7.3 billion people in the world, everyone will die, and everyone will be buried when they die. This is an infinitely vast market. Can Xinghui Aerospace satisfy everyone's needs? If I remember correctly, you are still limited in purchases!"
"Nowadays, it costs one or two thousand yuan a year to store in a funeral home. How much does it cost to buy a cemetery? How much does it cost to buy a satellite and throw it into the sky? If this trend really takes off, do you think they can grab it? Take your market? Not everyone cares about technology.”
Ding Yihui took out his mobile phone and logged on to the website of the company called "HeLight". After a careful look, he found that the facts were exactly as Vice President Gao said.
This crowdfunding company did not promise on its official website that it will realize the similar function of the Tianhe Lantern. Their brochure describes that it can only be seen when you look up. It should be similar to the Tianhe Lantern during the Hungry Ghost Festival. Effect.
Whether it is a beam of light from the sky, or a 3D projection, it has never been said.
But the number of reservations on this website is not even much less than Xinghui Aerospace.
"Helight only wants the low-end market, and they won't compete with Xinghui Aerospace in the high-end market. But guess, should they buy more high-end or low-end ones?"
Several teenagers were speechless.
"So, why don't we cooperate." Vice President Gao said, "Anyway, Xinghui Aerospace is going to go high-end. Instead of making the low-end market cheaper for others, why not leave it to us? At that time, you can just authorize us to use some of the technologies you have eliminated. We have the advantage to compete with the Yankees. After all, Xiaohui, you are also a child of our AVIC, and we uncles... Uh, pretend I didn’t say it!"
Vice President Gao, who is used to playing the emotional card, saw a brat who was already clenching his fists, so he quickly shut up.
He didn't want another punch.
He has already cheated these children once before, so it is really not kind for him to say that again.
Hearing Vice President Gao say this, Ding Yihui was rarely angry.
His original goal of creating Xinghui Aerospace was to change the future of Aerospace Street, and most of Aerospace Street is a subsidiary of China Aerospace Corporation.
After so many days of experience, Ding Yihui also gradually understood the operation mode of business, and realized that in business, there are no favors, only interests, and this is the law of business operation.
In fact, as Vice President Gao said, there are 7.3 billion people in this world, and these 7.3 billion people will die. Then this is a huge market worth trillions, and no one can occupy it alone.
It's better to support your own people than cheap Yankees.
In Ding Yihui's body, after all, the blood of Chinese astronauts flows.
However, Ding Yihui had no choice but to nod and agree to cooperate.
Because he doesn't even know what the future of Xinghui Aerospace will be like.
If they can't overcome the technical difficulties in the end, maybe Xinghui Aerospace will also have to struggle at the low end, compete with China Aerospace, and behemoths like the American Aerospace Industry Alliance for the market and grab a bite to eat.
"Let me think about it..." Ding Yihui said.
"Then think about it carefully, I'm next door." Vice President Gao smiled and walked out, and walked to the door in a doggy manner.
"Ah!" Ding Yihui roared, venting the depression in his heart, and waved his hands: "Again! I don't believe that I can't understand these technologies!"
"Aww!" Several teenagers immersed themselves in research again.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was night. Ding Jun came to deliver the meal, and saw that the lunch on the table was cold, but no one had touched it. He could only shake his head with a wry smile, and put away the meal. Let's go, put on some hot soup, and quietly bring it to the door.
Not long after Ding Jun left, someone knocked lightly on the door of the conference room.
"Come in!" Ding Yihui called out angrily. The satellite on the table was assembled during assembly, but it couldn't work together anyway. This is already the forty-seventh test.
A surge of anger filled their chests, and the failures and setbacks over and over again made these children almost collapse.
Busy up to now, the satellite lying quietly on the table still shows no signs of functioning, and seems to be mocking them.
"Give up, give up, just rely on you, it is impossible to understand this kind of technology."
"Why bother to study technology like this? Anyway, even if you compete with others for the market, you can always make money..."
"Business is not what you are good at. Even if it fails, isn't there still Uncle Ming?"
"Give up, give up, why bother to torture yourself like this..."
Ding Yihui was of course very upset that there was still someone knocking on the door at such a time.
The door opened a small crack, and a white-haired old man walked in gently, and said in a low voice: "Xiaohui..."
"Ah, Grandpa Su!" Seeing the old man, Ding Yihui hurriedly calmed down and stood up: "Why are you here?"
The old man in front of him was surnamed Su, and he was Ding Yihui's neighbor. When Ding Yihui was a child, he used to spend a lot of time at his house.
"Xiaohui... I'm here to find you... I came through the back door." The old man smiled sheepishly, "The Tianhe Lantern is really in high demand, I really can't get it, can you reserve one for me... ...this is money..."
"Ah, Grandpa Su... how can I ask for your money..." Ding Yihui was at a loss for what to do.
"Take it, as much as you want, remember to save one for me..." Grandpa Su was a little embarrassed, and he also didn't like to ask for help.
"Grandpa Su, who did you buy this for?" Ding Yihui asked.
"I bought it for myself..." the old man laughed.
"Ah?" Ding Yihui never expected to hear this answer.
"Xiaohui, you know I'm not in good health, I'm afraid I won't make it through this year..." The old man showed a bitter smile, "It is said that people are dead, but I am not willing, your uncle's family has gone to Dongbin, Both your second uncle and third aunt have gone abroad, and it is even more rare to come back once. After I leave, there will be fewer coming back. What if I miss them? If there is a lantern in Tianhe, I can see it in the sky every day. Here they come... and my old lady, her eyesight is bad when she is old, and she can't see when she goes out at night, what should I do if she falls down? Then I can show the old woman the way from the sky... lest the old woman be afraid alone... Wait for the old woman I'm getting old too, so I'll take her to the sky too, the two of us will be companions, we won't be alone, we can see who else we can miss..."
The old man stretched out his hand and gently stroked Ding Yihui's head: "Xiaohui, you did a good deed... I used to be afraid that I would die, the old woman was alone, but now it's much better..."
The old man showed a calm smile, and there was a strange glow on his face covered with age spots.
Death always comes, but the mood is different.
"Grandpa Su..." Ding Yihui wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word.
The old man took Ding Yihui's hand and patted it: "Good boy."
Turned around and left tremblingly.
For a long time, Ding Yihui was a little lost.
Grandpa Su's words were like a stone, weighing heavily on Ding Yihui's heart.
Next to it, the notebook shows the reservations of Xinghui Aerospace and Helight, which are scrolling rapidly. On one side is Xinghui Aerospace's ultimatum, and on the other hand, competitors are grabbing their market share, which makes Ding Yihui even more irritable.
Making micro-satellites is both an idea and a business.
But is it more than a business?
It's not just about market share, it's about making money?
It also carries too much.
But can he bear all this?
Those who change the world must also bear the responsibility and consequences of changing the world...
Uncle Ming, why didn't you tell me when I wanted to change the world?
Can't fail...
But the more he didn't want to fail, the more he made mistakes. When he made another mistake on the 48th time, Ding Yihui finally collapsed.
Next door, Vice President Gao stretched his waist: "Let's stop here today, I guess these children won't be able to get out today."
Before I finished speaking, I heard a roar from the next door: "Ah, I'm going crazy! I can't take it anymore!"
Then there were a few bang bang bang bangs, something was thrown out of the window, drew an arc, and flew outside the gate, bang bang bang bang and rolled a long way.
"Damn it, Satellite!" Vice President Gao ran out, happily picked it up, checked left and right for no one, and quickly stuffed it into his arms.
Seeing the security guard Hu Xiaojun rushing over, he pretended nothing had happened, blocked the satellite with his body, whistled and got into the nearby toilet.
Hu Xiaojun didn't have time to pay attention to him, and rushed to the conference room on the second floor.
Vice President Gao spent more than ten minutes in the toilet. When he came out of the toilet, he saw Ding Yihui sitting on the steps in front of the office building, holding his head in his hands and burying his head between his knees.
Vice President Gao saw that there was no one around, and planned to sneak away with the micro-satellite in his hands.
If the satellite of Xinghui Aerospace is brought back, it will be much better than the energy storage system brought back last time.
But after walking a few steps, he suddenly found that Ding Yihui shrugged his shoulders, as if crying, and couldn't move any more.
"Xiaohui?"
Ding Yihui's shoulders stopped shaking, and he replied after a while: "Huh?"
His nasal voice was heavy, and he was indeed crying.
Vice President Gao sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, I'm still a child..."
"Stop crying, what's wrong with you? Tell me, just tell me." Vice President Gao asked.
Ding Yihui babbled incoherently with a crying voice.
Vice President Gao only has one daughter, and he didn't know how to comfort the boy, so he just sat down beside her and listened quietly.
After a while, Ding Yihui seemed to have finally calmed down.
"Actually, it's okay to fail 48 times. Maybe you will succeed after 49 times?" Vice President Gao said, "Even if you didn't succeed 49 times, wouldn't you still have 50 times? Astronauts, faced with a huge technological gap, how did they survive year after year and finally catch up?"
"Because we failed 48 times, we will come again 48 times, man, if you don't force yourself, how do you know you can't do it..." Vice President Gao handed over the satellite in his arms: "Here, your satellite, go back Try it again."
At nine o'clock in the evening, Mr. Shen received a call from Vice President Gao and hurried to the company. He saw Vice President Gao's bulletproof Audi parked in front of the building. He went up to him and asked, "What's wrong? What did you suck back this time?" gone?"
"This time, I brought back a heavyweight..." Vice President Gao walked to the rear door: "I brought President Ding here, and he wants to sign a cooperation agreement with China Aerospace..."
If you don't force yourself, how do you know it won't work? So Ding Yihui decided not to give himself a way out.
"Really?" Mr. Shen almost jumped up. Helight and the European and American aerospace industry alliance behind it made him restless all day today.
After opening the car door, Vice President Gao let out an uh: "Now there is another problem..."
In the back seat, Ding Yihui hugged the satellite, nestled on the back seat, frowned, gritted his teeth, and fell asleep...
Do you want to wake him up?
