Chapter 702: I want a few satellites
In the previous life, because of the serious lack of experience in positioning and navigation, Huaxia saw that the European Galileo navigation system lacked funds, so it brought 270 million US dollars over. But the relationship between the two sides did not take a turn for a long time, the Europeans are simply a hooligan who doesn't want to share technology as long as they have money, Huaxia has lost countless cautions, and his face is stiff with a smile, but the other party just doesn't give technology.
I couldn't bear it, I couldn't bear it until 2007, I couldn't bear it anymore, the two sides parted ways, Huaxia ran home in a huff, and I made it myself. Unexpectedly, just like this, it really became famous, and it surpassed Galileo in Europe at once, slowly catching up with the American GPS system, and finally keeping pace with the American GPS system.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinwei felt a little uncomfortable and asked, "Director Han, if I look at General Wen's face and provide you with three atomic clocks for free, can you ...... Are you sure to launch three satellites into the sky?"
Wen Guozhong's mouth was grinning, and he was so happy that he was happy: long face, too long face. Xiao Jiang is good, my face is worth 120 million yuan!
Han Haotan looked at him in surprise and asked in disbelief, "...... you guys Can you give us three atomic clocks for free? Are you telling the truth?"
Jiang Xinwei nodded and said, "Of course." If you don't believe me, you can go to General Wen. ”
Wen Guozhong hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Director Han, what this kid said is absolutely true, I can guarantee it." If he wants to repent, you just have to find me, and I will cut him!"
The tone and posture of his speech were as if he was really Jiang Xinwei's father-in-law. It's just that his pride didn't last a few seconds before disappearing, and he began to scold Jiang Xinwei in his heart for being unkind, because Jiang Xinwei put forward his own request to Han Haotan.
I only heard Jiang Xinwei say to Han Haotan: "Director Han, if you agree, I hope you can keep two of these satellites over the Mediterranean region for a while when we need it." Of course, we would prefer that you can help us locate two of these satellites there for a long time. Looking at General Wen's face, can you help with this little favor? Of course, we also provide atomic clocks for free, and we can even pay a fee. ”
Han Haotan asked in surprise, "What are you doing with the navigation satellite?"
Jiang Xinxu said: "We are going to establish several telecommunication service centers in Europe, and we also need accurate timing. ”
Of course, he didn't dare to say what he really wanted to do.
Han Haotan couldn't make the decision at all about such a big matter, so he could only reflect his opinions.
Jiang Xinwei said: "In this way, you can send five navigation satellites in one go, and you can try to build a network." The area of navigation and positioning can be greatly expanded, and more and better experience can be accumulated. Don't worry, if the two satellites we bought were damaged because of your experiments, we wouldn't ask you to accompany them. ”
Just when Han Haotan was happy, Jiang Xinwei said: "When the time comes, you can shoot two more satellites." Rest assured, we also offer atomic clocks free of charge. We're okay with the Flyun Group, right?"
It's enough, it's fair, the problem is that there is too much difference from the previous psychological value, Han Haotan began to think that the test was broken, and he had to make up the shot: Isn't the make-up shot just compensation?
What was originally planned to be a technical exchange turned into a commercial negotiation with the two sides bargaining for the provision of atomic clocks and the purchase of two satellites in orbit by Feixun Group.
Although Jiang Xinwei promised to provide an atomic clock with a timing accuracy of 30 nanoseconds to 100 nanoseconds, the positioning and navigation project team still asked Feixun to provide 600 million yuan in funds.
600 million yuan to buy two satellites, it is really not expensive, but it is definitely not cheap to say cheap, not to mention that Jiang Xinwei has promised to provide the corresponding atomic clock for free.
Jiang Xinwei naturally wanted to reduce a little more: You guys gave the European Galileo positioning and navigation research and development team 270 million US dollars, and you came back in a gloomy way without learning anything, I took the initiative to send you an atomic clock, and also sent a spaceborne computer, which solved two big problems for you, and let you take my satellite for you to do networking tests, and you still have to charge me so much money, which is really unkind.
After Jiang Xinwei continued to bargain and threatened not to provide atomic clocks and spaceborne computers, in the end, the other party finally agreed to reduce the price by 100 million yuan and sell the two satellites to the Feixun Group at a price of 500 million yuan.
Moreover, the two sides also reached a verbal agreement, that is, to allow Feixun Group to send relevant experts into the research group to participate in positioning and navigation research and share relevant technologies.
It's not that the research group is easy to talk about, nor is it because Jiang Xinwei exerts any pressure, but because the research group is too short of money now, and they don't have much experience, so they don't know whether the positioning and navigation system they are studying can succeed. If the Feixun Group can be dragged in, at least there is hope for a financial solution.
When the research group is really exhausted and has no money, Feixun Group may invest some. Han Haotan knew Wen Guozhong and knew that he had an extraordinary passion for researching the equipment needed by the military. Even if Jiang Xinwei doesn't pick it up at that time, he can still go through Wen Guozhong's detour, and he will come forward to ask Jiang Xinwei for it, how much can he ask for a little?
I have to say that these scientists have a good abacus, and their eyes are fixed on Jiang Xinwei's wallet early.
Some people may wonder if the Beidou Positioning and Navigation Research Group is not very rich? Otherwise, how could they have given the European Galileo positioning and navigation 270 million dollars? At this time and then, they are still poor, and although the state approved the project last year, they do not have much money.
On the one hand, the country has been besieged and sanctioned by Western countries in recent years, and its trade and export revenues have been greatly reduced, and its fiscal revenue is seriously insufficient, so there is not much money for them. On the other hand, they themselves do not have much confidence to ask the state for money, because the positioning principle of the GEOSTAR system they use has been abandoned by the inventor of the United States, and they themselves are not sure that this Beidou system will succeed. They themselves doubt that the system will be used in the future.
Another reason is that at that time, the military still worshiped the army first and artillery as the king, and liked high-tech gadgets, but did not rely too much on it, and felt that it was good to have it, and it didn't matter if it didn't have it.
However, it was not until 1999 that Kosovo, especially after the US bombing of the embassy, discovered that high-tech weaponry had such a great effect that it could actually determine the outcome of a war, especially the Iraq war that broke out on 20 March 2003.
After learning from the pain, the Huaxia military finally realized: even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to get the Beidou positioning and navigation system!
Therefore, there are 270 million US dollars to be handed over to the European Galileo positioning and navigation system as tuition.
