Chapter 193: It Doesn’t Matter if It’s Inappropriate

The Black Hole Group is about to enter space.

And began to prepare in advance.

After Wei Ming announced his decision, all the executives present expressed their support and approval. No one raised any objections and they would fully cooperate.

They also firmly believed that since the Black Hole Group was going to enter the field of space development, it would definitely succeed.

It would not take long for it to surpass SpaceX and become the overlord in space.

A Black Hole Group has money, hundreds of billions of cash flow, and trillions of revenue each year (mainly from Black Hole Machine Tools and Black Hole New Materials Company). It has sufficient funds and is not afraid of playing this kind of money-burning game.

Secondly, the Black Hole Group has technical advantages.

Especially the technical advantages in the field of materials.

Materials such as super iron, super titanium, super aluminum alloy, and superconducting iron are applied to space exploration, and the future is limitless.

A rocket engine made of super titanium alone can be reused at least a hundred times or more than a thousand times, which is one or two orders of magnitude more than the maximum ten times of reuse of SpaceX's Merlin engine.

For example, the density of superaluminum alloy is 5g per cubic centimeter, but its strength and toughness are extremely high. The shell thickness of only 2mm can support the weight of thousands of tons of rockets. In addition, superaluminum alloy has strong impermeability and can be used to store low-temperature hydrogen fuel that is easy to penetrate, greatly reducing the mass of fuel tanks and greatly improving safety.

And superconducting iron materials can be widely used in power equipment to improve the efficiency of power utilization, reduce power loss, improve solar power generation efficiency and battery energy density, etc.

In addition, the plasma Hall engine manufactured by superconducting acceleration coils can increase the thrust density by more than ten times, and even reach the practical standard, thereby greatly reducing the fuel carried by spacecraft-the Hall engine has a high specific impulse, and the speed of the ejected plasma can reach 200 kilometers per second, which is 100 times that of conventional chemical fuels.

Materials are king!

The Black Hole Group, which has huge material advantages, has almost no chance of losing as long as it makes good use of the physical properties of these materials.

...

Of course, everything is difficult at the beginning.

In particular, building a framework from scratch will be very cumbersome and troublesome, especially in technology-intensive industries such as aerospace.

It takes a long time to recruit talents.

However, the Black Hole Group has come up with a good way to save trouble - acquiring companies.

Spend money to acquire private aerospace companies with certain technical strength.

Imperial Capital Blue Sword Aerospace Company is a company with good technical strength. It has the ability to develop and produce 120-ton thrust rocket engines. It has successfully launched small rockets. It is second to none among the hundreds of private aerospace companies in China and can be said to be one of the best.

The company's CEO Wu Chenwu, who was born as a pure engineer, worked in the Aerospace Group for ten years. He is a first-class rocket engine expert. He resigned with several partners who are also engineers to start a business. He first made products and then attracted the attention of investors. He completed as many as 11 rounds of financing. The current market value exceeds 10 billion, and the company has thousands of senior technical talents.

Moreover, this company can calm down and do things. It has not lost itself in rounds of financing. It has feelings and goals. It will realize the first commercial launch of a recyclable rocket this year.

Wei Ming sent several people to the Imperial Capital, aimed at this company, and launched an acquisition request.

…

“Black Hole Group wants to acquire us in full?”

Wu Chenwu shook his head immediately: “We have no intention of selling the company. If it is financing and investing, we can consider it. We can also cooperate in technology.”

He has heard about the various deeds of Black Hole Group. He admires it, but also disagrees with it. In particular, the company’s exclusive development purpose is incompatible with the vast universe.

Exploring the universe requires an inclusive and open attitude. It is necessary to concentrate the wisdom and resources of all mankind to achieve certain results.

It is impossible for Black Hole Group to succeed by creating a small circle and playing by itself.

He agreed to the financing of Black Hole Group because he wanted to use the group’s industrial manufacturing capabilities to improve the rocket technology level of his own company. He upholds an inclusive and open mindset.

"Mr. Wu, why don't you listen to the conditions we offer first."

Xiang Jianbai, the representative of the Black Hole Group sitting opposite, smiled and said: "The R&D funds are more than 10 billion per year. In special periods, unlimited funds can be applied for; 500 1-nanometer high-end machine tools will be supplied first; high-end aerospace chips are being organized for research and development; in addition, I brought several new materials developed by my company. You can study them according to the instructions to broaden your horizons."

Xiang Jianbai asked his assistant to hand a heavy tool kit to Wu Chenwu's assistant, who accepted it with a puzzled look.

"One more thing, the Black Hole Group has achieved mass production of all the new materials in the bag. We have as many as you want."

Left a few business cards.

Xiang Jianbai left with his people, leaving Wu Chenwu and others confused.

...

The next morning.

Xiang Jianbai received a call from Wu Chenwu.

"Mr. Xiang, we have decided to agree to your group's acquisition request and accept the full acquisition!"

"You have considered it so quickly. Do all the shareholders of your company agree?"

"They will agree, because my company's capital chain will be broken this month. We want to conduct the 12th round of financing and obtain another 5 billion in funds from the market, but those shareholders do not agree with our financing unless we wait for 'Lan Jian' No. 3' recyclable rocket. If the commercial launch is successful next month, we will give you money and promote the listing of Lanjian Aerospace Company... The time they left us is very hasty. The launch success rate of the rocket is less than 50%, and we are the same now. Being pushed to the shelves puts a lot of pressure on my shoulders!”

Wu Chenwu said on the phone: "These investment institutions actually don't care about scientific laws at all. Their purpose is just to make money by going public. It's easy to deal with them. They can delay the rocket launch mission, announce that the capital chain is broken, and the Black Hole Group can launch an acquisition at the right time. It won't cost much." If they don’t have enough money, they will choose to leave the market without losing money.”

Xiang Jianbai was very surprised: "Oh, Mr. Wu, it stands to reason that you don't need to help Black Hole Group save money. Besides, don't you have any shares in Blue Sword Company? Your own interests have also been harmed."

"My shares have been diluted without a trace, and I signed a betting agreement with them. The Rockets failed, the company did not go public, and I can only get a salary of 3,000 yuan a month. I made a lot of money just for love. Over a long period of time, my wife has been divorced several times, and no one in the family supports her!”

Wu Chenwu expressed his bitterness: "I don't want to gamble anymore. Being acquired by the Black Hole Group may be a better way out. My engineers and technicians also support me."

Of course, after testing the characteristics of the new materials and learning about the benefits of Black Hole Group, the proportion of employees who supported the acquisition reached 100%. One employee even said that if the acquisition failed, he would switch to Black Hole Group. It was a mutiny on the spot.

Wu Chenwu did not reprimand him severely, because he had exactly the same idea in his heart.

With all these incredible materials, the president of this company can only get a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, which is not appropriate!

What's more, with the support of unlimited funds, high-end machine tools, chip technology, etc., it is entirely possible to realize your dream.

As well as an annual salary of tens of millions, a house and a car...

Wouldn’t it be nice to join the Black Hole Group?

"Okay, as long as you negotiate with the shareholders, the acquisition application will be launched immediately."

…

A few days later.

Black Hole Group successfully acquired 100% of the shares of Lanjian Aerospace Company at a price of 9.9 billion.

This process was full of twists and turns. Many investment institutions holding shares in Blue Sword Company were not willing to sell. Although the price was not a loss, they did not make any profit at all.

But Blue Sword Company first revealed that the capital chain was broken, which attracted the attention of the entire industry.

Immediately afterwards, the launch mission of the "Blue Sword 3" rocket was postponed indefinitely because the technology was not mature enough and had many major technical defects.

Then there was an outbreak of employees collectively demanding wages, and more than 50% of employees applied for resignation. This was a final blow to these investment institutions, and they had no choice but to stop their losses in time.

But November 7th.

Lanjian Aerospace Company announced its overall relocation to Hangzhou High-tech Zone, and the first batch of 500 employees set off and merged into Black Hole Universe Development Company.

In the news photo of farewell at the high-speed rail station.

Two days ago, Wu Chenwu was surrounded and beaten, but today, all the departing employees were smiling, holding hands, and even hugging him enthusiastically. It was a joyful, harmonious and friendly parting scene.

Some investment institutions immediately saw something was wrong.

"Wu Chenwu, you bastard!"

These investment institutions are gnashing their teeth in hatred.
