Chapter 503 You Can't Hide [Third Watch, First Update]
This material needs to be produced in a steelmaking plant, and moreover, an ordinary steelmaking plant is not enough, and a new steelmaking process must be used to produce this material.
It is inevitable to buy a steel mill, this is the conclusion given by Xingling.
"I approve your plan, the materials required above do not need to be developed, the German Apocalypse Branch Research Institute already has this technology, the new materials can withstand ultra-high temperature, ultra-low temperature, air friction and electromagnetic radiation"
"It's just that this technology has been sealed, and now it's time to start, you have designed it according to the plan, and you can contact the Italian Institute of Machinery and Equipment when necessary, they have strong technical strength" Xu Ping'an looked at the three of them and made a decision.
Lu Zi'an, Zhao Changkong, and Bao Dawei were all shocked, it turned out that the company already had this kind of material, and the outside world analyzed that Tianqi Group had hidden a lot of technology, which was really not groundless.
"By the way, ordinary reusable rockets also need to be developed, we can't expect the Space Shuttle to be responsible for everything, and the satellite launch still needs rockets to be responsible"
"The meteorological satellite of Apocalypse Island has been developed soon, and the reusable rocket design will be launched first," Xu Ping'an added.
"Understand that this new space shuttle program is top secret, only one team is responsible for the design, and the rest of the manpower is focused on reusing rockets"
"According to the design drawings provided to us by the headquarters, we can complete the design in only a few months on this basis," Zhao Changkong said extremely seriously.
"President, at present, we are not short of manpower, and we need to add some R&D personnel," Chen Zhiping said on the side.
Xu Ping'an looked at Chen Zhiping, "What, I feel the pressure."
Chen Zhiping nodded, "Rocket engines are different from ordinary engines, they require more thrust, even if we have carbon magnetic supercharging technology, we must redesign it."
"With our current staffing is very strained, we must add a group of high-quality talents"
"Fortunately, there are some rocket engine drawings provided by the headquarters, and we have not been idle for a while, and have carried out a certain public relations transformation, and found that the current ordinary hydrogen fuel cannot meet the needs of rocket engines"
"I contacted General Manager Tang Xinxin of Tianqi Hydrogen Energy Group and asked them to produce a batch of high-purity liquid hydrogen as fuel, and Mr. Tang has promised to produce 20,000 tons of high-purity liquid hydrogen fuel for us as soon as possible."
"I'll solve the personnel problem for you, and the attraction of recruitment from the headquarters will increase a lot, and it can attract a lot of international talents," Xu Ping'an said directly, Chen Zhiping nodded and had no opinion.
"You need to consider upgrades when you design, and at present, there are thousands of research institutes around the world working on next-generation materials, and several countries have already developed plans to build alien bases"
"We also need to have an alien base plan, you have to know in your heart, this is just an ordinary rocket launch base, and the island of Adrius is our space base."
"When necessary, organize the deployment of personnel"
"It takes a lot of knowledge to go to outer space, there are many categories, and it is possible to break through a variety of technologies together, so we must consider the issue of upgrading, and it is best to build a modular rocket" Xu Ping'an looked at the four people and said his plan.
The eyes of the four people are bright, the president's outer space project is not a ticket, but has a long-term plan, peace of mind, there is no need to think about anything else, just devote yourself to scientific research.
"Please rest assured that the president will strictly control the number of scientific researchers, this base is only used as a commercial satellite rocket launch base, and we will all put the advanced technology on Aidrius Island" Lu Zi'an said directly.
Xu Ping'an nodded, "Zeng Xianwen, who is in charge of Aidelius Island, turned out to be the deputy minister of the administrative department of the group headquarters, you can trust him, I will explain him separately, and let him cooperate with you."
"The space project is the focus of the future development of Tianqi Group, this is a strategic issue, no matter how difficult, the headquarters will continue to invest, so you must also show the corresponding strength."
Xu Ping'an's words put a lot of pressure on several people, and the group's continuous investment must see the effect, if there is no corresponding effect, the headquarters will not accept this result.
After talking to the four people, the meeting was over, and we went to eat together, at the base, the canteen in the base was a specially hired chef, Xu Ping'an tasted it in the small restaurant, and the taste was very good.
The next day, the domestic and international editions of the official website of Tianqi Group published a recruitment notice, recruiting 10 rocket engine engineers, 10 photo rocket architects, 10 microelectronics engineers, 10 anti-electromagnetic interference engineers, .......and 10 space engineers.
A total of 27 positions were released, and 10 people were recruited for each position, with preferential treatment, and the work location was at the headquarters of Dunhuang Tianqi Space Mining Group.
This time, the signboard information of the Apocalypse Group directly caused a shock, and this recruitment represented the official intervention of the Apocalypse Group in the aerospace industry, and many people shook their heads with a wry smile.
International giants have basically launched their own space projects, how can the Apocalypse Group be an exception, it will definitely be inserted, these international giants are swarming into space, whether it is good or bad, no one can say.
At the same time, Xu Ping'an contacted Adecco headhunting company, Korn Ferry International, two headhunting companies, to help find all the recruitment positions, there is nothing to hide, and the fanfare is carried out.
Qiao Yicheng began to contact suppliers, sent out more than 400 orders, all the companies that received orders are happy, Tianqi Group to buy spare parts, as long as you have good quality, everything is not a problem.
The Celestial Empire, Japan, the United States, Germany, Italy, Russia, France, Spain, Australia, Canada, and several countries have divided these order fees.
The deposit alone is as high as 4 billion euros, and you can imagine how large the scale of this purchase is, just when the major parts manufacturers are excited, Bruce began to act.
Inspecting steel mills, to acquire a steel mill abroad, the reason why it is not in China is because of the problem of shutdown, for the sake of environmental protection, directly stop production for a period of time, which will increase the burden of enterprises.
There are no such restrictions abroad, you can produce casually, the steel mills need a lot of workers, everything needs to make way for employment, and in just a few days, there is news from the Bruce side.
The speed is so fast because Xu Ping'an mentioned before that sooner or later he needs to have his own steel plant, and Bruce began to pay attention to it, as the exclusive lawyer of Xu Ping'an, the president of Tianqi Group, Bruce earns tens of millions a year.
Money is not so easy to take, you have to reflect your value to do it, in the past few years, Bruce has worked tirelessly to run around because of this, to be worthy of Xu Ping'an's trust.
In Morocco, there is a steel company that is about to go bankrupt, BMD Steel Group, although this company is about to go bankrupt, but the company still has a lot of assets, especially land assets.
In the glory days, in order to cope with the shrinkage of the steel industry, they began to transform, and invested in a lot of projects, but as a result, they all gave up, although they lost money again and again, but the company did not sell land resources.
Including more than a dozen mothballed mines, they are not for sale, and there are a lot of good things in his hands, Bruce has been staring at this company for a long time, and now he can do it with Xu Ping'an's instructions.
The BMD steel plant is not small, it can be torn down and re-established as a leading steel plant, and the price of Moroccan human resources is very low, which is lower than the labor cost of the Celestial Empire.
What's more, this BMD steel group belongs to the French Vidwang Group, and the Vidwang Group has long been willing to start formal negotiations with Bruce about this heavy burden, and no one knows the secret.
After several days of negotiations, during which Bruce and Xu Ping'an had frequent phone calls, an agreement was finally reached on this day, and the two sides held a press conference to announce the matter.
The sale of all the assets of its BMD Steel Group to Tianqi Group in a transaction worth 8.4 billion euros, a cash transaction, has now been submitted to the French and Moroccan authorities for approval.
The transaction will only be able to be completed smoothly after obtaining approval from both governments.
After the news came out, it directly caused a shock in the steel industry, and no one thought that Tianqi Group would directly intervene in the steel industry.
Does the Apocalypse Group conduct research on steel, many people are confused.
Soon, a British newspaper reported directly the news that the global steel industry had collapsed, and the German Institute for Advanced Materials had acquired a Portuguese research institute four years earlier.
This research institute is engaged in steel research, has been carried out for decades, according to the reporter's investigation, the Portuguese research institute was acquired by the Tianqi Institute of Advanced Materials, did not stop this research.
The article lists a lot of data, all of which are the quantities of iron ore and other metal ores purchased by the Tianqi Advanced Materials Research Institute, and dozens of tons of various metal ores are purchased every year, and the iron ore is as high as 80 tons.
Generally speaking, Tianqi Advanced Materials Research Institute has been conducting steel research for decades, and the R&D strength of Tianqi Group is recognized as strong.
It must be that Tianqi Group has made a major breakthrough in the field of steel and can produce one or several new materials, otherwise, Tianqi Group would not have acquired the steel group with great fanfare.
It can be expected that the global steel group has kicked off the reshuffle, and this time, I don't know how many steel companies can survive.
According to the impact ratio caused by the products of the Apocalypse Group in the past, it is estimated that more than eighty percent of the steel groups will go bankrupt this time, which is the crushing brought by technology, and you can't hide from it.
