Chapter 667: Launching a Satellite into Space?

The morning is sunny. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the living room, Zhang Wei, who had just eaten breakfast, didn't have time to read, the phone next to the sofa rang, and his mother shouted in the kitchen for him to answer, so he picked up the receiver casually.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xiao Zhang?"

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm the purchasing manager for Bird's mobile phone division. ”

"Ouch, what's the matter?"

"I heard that you are cooperating with Motorola to make chips? We want to customize chips, can the price be cheaper?"

"Khan, why didn't you call Motorola?"

"Isn't this afraid of being slaughtered by foreigners? Mr. Zhang, I have a sentence to say, I am most assured that you and your father will never pit your own people, so please help me talk to Motorola, and when the chip manufacturing plant is built, we will be cheaper to customize chips?"

"Okay, I'll help you ask. ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Wei couldn't cry or laugh.

I didn't expect that someone would find their own custom production of communication chips, Bird is somewhat familiar, the last time Arowana moved the headquarters, their boss also came to cheer in person, not to talk about how good the relationship is, at least it is worth making a phone call to ask, and furthermore, custom communication chips are a good thing, although Freescale will not face the market in the future is not a communication chip, but this is also a good phenomenon, the amount of chips consumed by mobile phone manufacturers is very huge, which also means that Zhang Wei has made money from it, but he is also more confirmed, it is estimated that people all over the world think that Freescale wants to make communication chips, otherwise Bird will not come to the door。

In fact, he also understands in his heart that unlike everyone on the Internet, domestic mobile phone manufacturers are staring at Freescale to build up, because whether it is from Wanwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Samsung or Dongying, these second-way dealers must be expensive to customize chips, and what taxes are involved, but now Freescale is established in China, and it is a chip used by Motorola, a well-known mobile phone manufacturer, and they are naturally greedy.

However, this is only limited to the country, now the sales of domestic mobile phones are very ordinary, even if all the domestic mobile phones come to the door to the list will not be too big, Zhang Weizhi is not here, Motorola is mainly for the market is not a communication chip, now what to do is to wait for Motorola R & D personnel to come, and then for Nokia to develop a mobile phone, and then rush to Thailand to get the telecommunications business, these two are now the bulk of the money, not to mention the Nokia contract to sell a mobile phone to get a huge share of five percent of sales, just say Thailand Telecom, there are many flowers, tens of millions of people in the market, to be done after another pillar industry, when the family foundation is really rich.

Why has Li Ka-shing stood firm despite ups and downs? It is because he has many pillar industries.

I was looking at a book when the phone rang again.

Zhang Wei wondered if it was a mobile phone manufacturer who wanted to customize the chip, right?

Zhang Aiguo on the other end of the phone said: "Xiaowei, it's you, right? ”

Zhang Wei knew that it was an important thing when he heard it, so he hurriedly closed the book and said, "Dad, what's the matter?"

"Let me tell you about the situation first, the telecom in Thailand was handed over to Thaicom Public Co., Ltd. Zhang Aiguo said clearly: "This company has been leasing Malaysian communication satellites to operate since 1991, but now that the telecommunications management rights in Thailand have been handed over to us, then I naturally want to negotiate with Malaysia about leasing satellite capacity." ”

"Well, without communication satellites, everything is empty talk. Zhang Wei nodded.

"The bad is bad here. Zhang Ai said angrily Chinese: "I don't know if Malaysia has colluded with Thaicom, and the rental fee is three times more expensive than before!"

What the?

Three times more expensive?

If so, wouldn't the profits be a big loss?

After listening to Zhang Wei, he was convinced that his father's guess was right, it should be Thaicom who was not satisfied with the telecommunications management rights and did not take it, and this matter should start from the outbreak of the Thai baht incident, since the Asian financial crisis, Thailand's economy is declining, and international capitalists have taken advantage of the weakness to grab the core industry, so the telecommunications industry is also among them, Thaicom does not contribute as much as others, and Thailand does not want to hand over such a key industry of telecommunications to those hungry wolves in Europe and the United States, so he found Zhang Wei's family, who is kind to Thailand, and offered a slightly lower price than Europe and the United States, which is naturally much more than Thaicom's offer。

Thaicom must not be happy, relying on the cooperation with Malaysian Communications Satellite Company for many years to perform such a play, nothing more than to make Zhang Wei's family retreat.

Quit when the going gets tough?

That's not going to work!

Dude is doing this as a pillar industry, how can he give up?

Zhang Wei immediately asked, "Do you want to find other satellite supply companies?"

"I've also looked for Dongying, but they can't afford to be self-sufficient, and they don't have the capacity to rent to me. Zhang Aiguo was a little annoyed, and then said: "I just thought, do you want to launch a communication satellite into the sky by yourself?"

These words startled Zhang Wei, he almost got up from the sofa, communication satellites are not cheap, if it is the future generations, maybe tens of millions of dollars can get one, but now the technology is not so developed, if you want to get a communication satellite to the sky, you can't do it without hundreds of millions of dollars. Zhang Wei's family is also rich now, billions of dollars in the industry, the problem is that there are no billions of dollars in the industry, most of them are fixed assets, this time the investment in Thailand is nearly 2 billion RMB, and the joint venture with Motorola to open a chip manufacturing plant will invest billions of RMB, so there is not much cash in hand.

Loan?

That's not realistic!

Dad still owes 5 billion RMB to domestic banks, who would dare to lend to his own family?

Zhang Wei did not rush to refuse, because the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, if he launches a communication satellite by himself, and in the future, when his business grows, he can also lease capacity to other countries, or even make the telecommunications industry into Thailand, then the entire Southeast Asia will likely become a base area, and the money he will make will not be half a star.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei asked: "Have you inquired, how much will it cost if we get a satellite ourselves?"

Zhang Aiguo has already asked, "The cost of satellite manufacturing is about 350 million US dollars, the cost of rockets is 80 million US dollars, and the launch cost is about this amount, plus the insurance cost of 50 or 60 million US dollars, which is about 500 million US dollars." ”

"Whew. Zhang Wei let out a sigh, this cost was still within the psychological range, and thought for a while: "In addition to the loan for the construction of the ecological park, there are about 400 million US dollars in funds that can be used now, which is a difference of 100 million US dollars, which is a bit difficult to get." ”

"Forget it, let's rent a Malaysian communications satellite. Zhang Aiguo hesitated.

Zhang Wei said decisively: "Get it! You must get your own satellite!"

Although he was very distressed, he couldn't swallow the partnership between Malaysian Satellite Company and Thaicom, and secondly, this is indeed a good opportunity to lay out the Southeast Asian communications industry.

"Where's the money?" asked Zhang Aiguo.

yes, what about money?

There is still a shortage of 100 million US dollars.

Where the hell is this money going to go?

Zhang Wei was troubled, did he have to borrow it? But who could he borrow it?

……

Meanwhile.

There is another person who is as troubled as Zhang Wei.

American imperialism, a well-known rich man.

"Shet, why is the Yellowstone Club so high?"

"Angus, this is not a club that can be entered if you have money, in it is not a business figure or a contemporary political leader, you must be a first-class master with great social influence and a rich crown, just a deposit costs 300,000 US dollars, and an annual membership fee of 500,000 US dollars. ”

"Am I not old enough?"

"Uh...... Truth be told, it's almost. ”

"I must enter a world-class club! I must show the people in the Yellowstone Club, I am also a person with status!"

That fat black guy couldn't be more angry!

……

China, home.

Zhang Wei and his father were silent.

One second......

Ten seconds......

One minute......

After a long time, Zhang Weicai gritted his teeth and said: "I'll solve the money matter, and discuss the satellite matter with the China Communications and Broadcasting Satellite Company first, and see how much they quote." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Aiguo immediately said: "I'll get back in touch with China as soon as possible." ”

When the line is broken, Zhang Wei leans on the sofa and frowns, there is a vague plan in his mind, and he doesn't know if he can succeed, if he can't succeed, the satellite thing may have to run aground, but if it can succeed, maybe the satellite will take off at the same time, and the pillar industry of telecommunications will also follow the lift-off, no matter what, in order to develop in the future, this matter must be struggled, and the plan in the mind must be implemented!
