Zhuang Jianye is not the only one who wants to stand and make money, why not Merlintz?

For an international professional high-end second-hand dealer, the more cost-effective high-end aerospace materials and parts, the more lucrative the price difference between him, the middleman, and the higher the profit.

Because of this, Merlinz is eager to have a long-term and stable supply relationship with Zhuang Jianye.

After all, in addition to Lockheed Space Equipment's Iridium program, Merlintz has several other potential customers, such as New Delhi's ambitious space program, which requires a lot of sophisticated aerospace parts and high-end aerospace materials.

However, the aerospace products of the United States and Europe are extremely expensive, and Russia is qualitatively unreliable because of the disintegration and social turmoil, so that New Delhi has always shouted loud slogans and staggering figures, but there is no hair.

So much so that Merlinz would complain frantically every time, and wanted to point at the nose of the bureaucrats in New Delhi and scold: If you don't have that ability, don't brag ~~~ force.

However, if a long-term supply relationship is established with Tengfei Group, Merlinz can dump high-end aerospace parts into New Delhi at a price one to two percent lower than the international market price, and then grab excess profits.

There are also Iran, North Korea's long-range missile projects, which also need high-precision aerospace parts as support, not only that, these two countries also have clear development goals, so in addition to a single spare parts, but also to enhance the manufacturing capacity of aerospace professional equipment.

All of the above are high-end customers of Mellintz, and Tengfei Group is like a variety of beauties who can be salty and sweet, can be a royal sister and loli, sexy and pure, in line with Merlinz's various tastes, and can easily achieve one-stop service.

Realizing this, Merlinz immediately made a major adjustment to the tone of this trip to the Ascendas Group, from the original 10% share of Iridium plan supporting spare parts to test the waters, which is completely called the journey of establishing long-term and stable cooperation with the Ascendas Group.

Because of this, Mellintz is kind and friendly to Zhuang Jianye, with that fat figure, he looks like a simple-minded iron Hanhan, what Zhuang Jianye says, as if Zhuang Jianye is his backbone.

In fact, it's just a means for Mellinz, and the profits from his own hands are not bad anyway, so why bother to make Zhuang Jianye, a cooperative supplier who is currently vital to him, unhappy for a little face?

Mellintz is like this, Zhuang Jianye is also not bad, face or something, how can there be a little money and money, there is no need to be complimented by foreigners and fluttering, courtesy is still exchanged, and business blows each other is the way to get along.

The two parties are both yearning for cooperation, coupled with the so-called "unwavering friendship" that business blows out of each other, and the progress of both sides is very fast.

Contact began at the end of July, and in mid-August, the satellite parts produced by the Ascendas Group sent by Merlinz to the United States passed the joint quality inspection of Lockheed Space Equipment and the Motorola Iridium project team.

During this period, Mellinz established two leather bag companies, CP and VP, as a docking with the leather bag company established by Tengfei Group, Space Origin, for the operation of spacecraft spare parts, high-end aerospace materials, professional aerospace processing equipment and other businesses produced by Tengfei Group.

After receiving the notice that Ascendas Group's products had passed the testing of domestic institutions in the United States, Merlinz immediately purchased $1.268 billion worth of space-specific products from Space Origin through CP and VP.

Among them, US$560 million is satellite spare parts for the Iridium program, including US$300 million for non-core satellite spare parts such as titanium alloy trusses, aluminum-magnesium alloy antenna brackets, and magnesium alloy solar cell folding supports.

$260 million loop heat pipe cooling system, a total of 300 sets.

Originally, the heat dissipation system was done by an American company, using the traditional energy diversion and distribution technology, but the problem is that the total mass of Motorola's Iridium program communication satellite does not exceed 800 kilograms, and it cannot carry high-energy nuclear batteries, and the existing battery energy density cannot meet the requirements of multiple systems working at the same time.

At the time of the headache, Mellinz came up with a loop heat pipe cooling system of $1.58 million like a savior from heaven, compared with the high price of similar products produced by Laura Space Systems, which was acquired by European companies, and the performance of the loop heat pipe cooling system is not only affordable, but also the performance is not worse than that of Laura Space Systems.

In this case, of course, it is a big order thrown over directly.

Lockheed is not much concerned about the cost overruns that could result from adding expensive loop heat pipe cooling systems, for the simple reason that without the power distribution of the cooling system, there is enough energy left for other electronic systems, so that "mature" technologies with high power but not bad performance can be used.

In this way, through the god-like "system integration" of the Locke system, the overall development and production costs of the Iridium project have not been overrun, but have saved $290,000 compared with the previous one.

It can be called a miracle in the field of aerospace cost control in recent years.

However, in addition to Lockheed's cost control, there is also the business of Merlinz's second-class dealers, which is really a gong and drum, and firecrackers are ringing in unison.

Because in addition to Lockheed, a major customer, Merlinz also pockets 90% of the external procurement business in the New Delhi space program, and this list is the remaining $708 million out of $1.268 billion.

It includes 28 sets of loop heat pipe heat dissipation systems, 1,000 kg of ordinary carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites, 500 kg of ordinary carbon fiber reinforced titanium matrix composites, 45 satellite antennas made of ordinary carbon fiber reinforced magnesium matrix composites, and four DL-666 aerospace special digital control hole equipment with ultrasonic vibration processing technology.

Compared with the deal with Lockheed, Merlinz is much darker for New Delhi, not only the product performance is not the same, but the price is like a high pitch, desperately pulling up.

If nothing else, take the loop heat pipe cooling system as an example, the ex-factory price of Takeoff Group of 880,000 US dollars, Merlintz's quotation to Lockheed is 1.58 million US dollars for a set, and 2.35 million US dollars for New Delhi.

There is also a DL-666 type digital control hole equipment with the VP logo, Zhuang Jianye's shipment price to Merlinz is 2 million US dollars, and Merlintz turned his face and dared to shout 6 million US dollars with New Delhi.

And that's just one of the names of the sheep in Melintz, followed by Iran, North Korea, Iraq, Egypt, South Africa, Brazil, ......

Therefore, after confirming the purchase contract of 1.268 billion US dollars, Merlinz also initialed a contract of intent with Zhuang Jianye, with a total amount of up to 6.7 billion US dollars, and determined to strive to increase the transaction volume between the two parties to more than 3 billion US dollars in the next three years.
