Chapter 0561 You Say As Much as You Want
No matter what kind of promise Gu Yu makes, Ba||None of the several bigwigs in the Western military are willing to let go, and the limit they can agree to is to allow Gu Yu to participate in the Aviation Research Center, but if they want to get a controlling stake, there is no room for negotiation at all.
Everything is not going well on Gu Yu's side, and Xu Xiaoqing, who was ordered to contact the Aviation Research Center, is also not going well. Bar | |Xiguo regards the aviation research center as their pride, and some have even elevated it to the level of a national symbol, even if Gu Yu is in Ba||No matter how much investment in the West is, it has a high prestige among the people, but when it comes to aviation research centers, everything has to be sidelined, and there is no possibility of even talking.
In this regard, Gu Yu had a certain psychological preparation in advance, and it was not the first time he had encountered this kind of thing that he wanted to acquire a company but was rejected, and he would not have the ability to bear this kind of normal business behavior, and it was even more impossible to use extraordinary means to achieve his goals.
Gu Yu and Xu Xiaoqing sat down together again, called Ye Rou, and then connected with Huaxia and held a video conference to discuss how to acquire Ba||Aeronautical Research Center in the West. In order to be able to achieve this purpose, Gu Yu even offered a high reward.
It's just that no matter how high the bounty is, I met Ba||The situation in the West Country is also of no use. Liu Xuepeng, who is in Zishan City, suggested that Gu Yu send more people to contact all the countries in the world that have built aviation research centers to see who is willing to package up and sell this business.
Although most of the country's aviation research centers are state-owned or state-led, there are also countries that allow private capital to compete in this field, and this country is the United States. In recent years, SpaceX's SpaceX has frequently grabbed the headlines of the world's news, and SpaceX's is a typical private enterprise.
With the United States as a pioneer, maybe other countries will allow private acquisitions of equity or even controlling stakes in aeronautical research centers.
Liu Xuepeng's suggestion has hardly aroused a response from anyone, and everyone knows that there are only a few countries in the world that have the ability to launch rockets, and no one who does not regard their own aviation research centers as treasures, and it is impossible to sell them at a high price for others. Allowing private capital to enter the aerospace field, as is the case in the United States, is a unique thing in the world.
However, Gu Yu did not dampen Liu Xuepeng's enthusiasm, he asked Liu Xuepeng to arrange special personnel to contact and negotiate all over the world to see if there was any possibility, if there was, then he would save a lot of effort, if not, he would not lose anything.
Gu Changsong saw that Gu Yu was so concerned about this matter, and even held a high-level video conference for this purpose, which is rare in Gu Yu, usually, he is like a lone ranger, doing his own thing, and rarely has such a discussion with the company's senior management, which can also be seen how much Gu Yu attaches importance to this matter.
Gu Changsong asked Gu Yu why he wanted to buy the Aviation Research Center, if there was a suitable reason, Gu Changsong could be active in the country, you must know that Gu Changsong had just recently won a national people||The identity of the big representative, coupled with his identity as the chairman of Guchao Technology, still has a bit of energy. And he is not like Gu Yu who always runs abroad, he basically stays in China, and it is no exaggeration to say that his relationship network in China is not necessarily worse than Gu Yu's.
Gu Yu did not hide this question from his father, he directly stated that he wanted to launch an artificial satellite into the sky, and in the future, more artificial satellites may be launched. For the sake of convenience, he had the intention of having his own aviation research center.
Gu Yu's few short words startled all the people who participated in the video conference. Gu Yu's words reveal too much information, on the one hand, Gu Yu plans to launch artificial satellites, not one, but many, and the other is for the convenience of launching satellites, so it is necessary to buy an aviation research center, this powerful logic, there are not many in the world.
Of course, they didn't know that the main purpose of Gu Yu's purchase of the Aviation Research Center was to launch a primary aerospace plane in the future, otherwise, why would he bother so much. But even if it is like this, it is enough to surprise Gu Changsong, Ye Rou and others.
Gu Changsong didn't ask about the details of the satellite, he knew that in this kind of thing, his son would be more forward-looking than him, and he would not joke about this kind of thing. He just persuaded Gu Yu a few words, just like people want to eat pork, there is no need to buy a pig, or even buy a pig farm, just go to the market to buy a few catties of meat. The same is true for launching an artificial satellite; how much does it cost to find someone to launch an artificial satellite? How much does it cost to buy an aviation research center? Moreover, after buying an artificial satellite, daily maintenance is also a place that cannot be ignored and costs money like running water.
Gu Changsong's words made everyone nod together, and they all felt that Gu Yu's purchase of the aviation research center was a bit of a fuss. They wouldn't have thought that Gu Yu would set his sights on space, and they already had plans to develop space, but their eyes were still limited to the ground. It's not that they are short-sighted, but with the current development momentum of Guchao Technology, they can't make enough money on the surface of the earth.
Gu Yu was noncommittal to his father's suggestion.
Gu Changsong still took care of the matter on his own, he happened to have a friend of a certain domestic satellite launch center, and he was still a deputy director, he could call the deputy director and ask to see what the price was for the domestic launch of artificial satellites.
Gu Yu hurriedly shook his head, he didn't believe in the ability of China to launch rockets, but he was worried that if China got its satellite, and then dismantled its artificial satellite, when the time came, he would cry and have no place to suffer, after all, it would take a lot of prestige to exchange for an artificial satellite.
Gu Yu asked Xu Xiaoqing to go to Heba againThe relevant departments of the western country have contacted to explore the possibility of building a Guchao space exploration companyIf the laws of the Western Kingdom do not prohibit it, he plans to invest a huge amount of money to build Gu Chao Space.
The content of Gu Yu's video conference did not emphasize that it must be kept secret, but within a day, he received a phone call from China, which was from Hu Weiqing, the head of the Ministry of Science and Technology, who called for the domestic aviation research center, to tell Gu Yu that the domestic aviation research center welcomed Gu Yu to cooperate with them, and they were willing to launch artificial satellites for Gu Yu at a price lower than half the market price.
Gu Yu started haha, and didn't even ask if there were any additional conditions in China, just chatted with Hu Weiqing for a few words, and hung up the phone.
Hu Weiqing is a smart person and knows what Gu Yu has concerns, but he can't say anything about it, let alone pat his chest and promise Gu Yu anything. After all, in the process of Gu Yu's rise, it was not smooth sailing, and he suffered many difficulties during the period, and the initiators were some scum in China, which made Gu Yu sad, and this scar is not so easy to heal.
What makes Gu Yu feel relieved is that Hu Weiqing's phone is the only one, in addition, several other countries that have the ability to launch artificial satellites into space did not call Gu Yu, which shows that the video memories of that day, without his reminder, are still more confidential, and the content of the meeting is not easily leaked.
Xu Xiaoqing went to listen to the news, and the feedback he got was relatively positiveAlthough it is impossible for the western side to agree to sell the aviation research center to Gu Yu, if Gu Yu pays for it himself, he will build an aviation research center that belongs to himThe western side will not set up any obstacles, and for this new aviation research center, Pakistan | |Xiguo does not seek to own equity, and can be 100% owned by Gu Yu.
Gu Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Xu Xiaoqing to set off again to go through the corresponding procedures. He plans to put the new aviation research center in the Guchao Special Economic Zone, and if there is no place in the Guchao Emergency Special Economic Zone, it is a big deal to buy an extra piece of land, and he will not be short of the money to buy the land.
Xu Xiaoqing went to go through the relevant procedures, even if everything went well, it would take many days for the whole set of procedures to come down, and after getting the land, then the construction would start, etc., and when Gu Chao Space was put into operation, it was estimated that it would take a few years.
Gu Yu couldn't wait, he felt that it was necessary to launch a few artificial satellites into the sky, whether it was useful or not, whether it was needed or not, at least to earn the prestige first.
Gu Yu went around the system store, and then selected an artificial satellite, this is a reconnaissance satellite, the resolution of the lens is very high, in low earth orbit, it can distinguish objects on the ground that are a millimeter long.
Gu Yu plans to launch this artificial satellite first, of course, if he wants, he can find a place that is not noticed, take out the primary aerospace plane, and then carry this artificial satellite into the sky, and then place it in the preset orbit, but this way, although it saves time, effort and money, it is completely inconsistent with Gu Yu's psychological appeal. All his actions are to gain reputation, but if he does this, but he can't get a reputation point, then won't he lose a lot of money?
So Gu Yu immediately ruled out this way, and he decided to launch this artificial satellite in a high-profile way that could be known to the whole world.
Gu Yu directly sent an invitation to all countries in the world that have rocket launch capabilities, asking them to send representatives to PakistanOn the western side, he will hold a global bidding conference here to launch the first artificial satellite of Guchao Technology for him.
Although Gu Yu's call failed to cause a sensation around the world, all countries that have the ability to launch rockets have taken action, and they have sent representatives to PakistanXiguo is ready to participate in this bidding conference presided over by Gu Yu, so as to stop this burden and become his own bag.
Soon, Gu Chao Technology's Ba||Representatives of more than a dozen countries and organizations were ushered in in the Xiguo branch, and they all formulated bids in accordance with Gu Yu's requirementsAfter the Xiguo branch, the bid was submitted to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu opened these bids one by one, looking for a launch center that met his psychological expectations. Gu Yu had already stated to them in advance that he chose who would win the bid, not to see who had the lowest bid, but to see who could bid at a more reasonable price and provide corresponding services that could meet his psychological needs.
Gu Yu first opened the bidding documents of the two aviation research centers in the United States, one of which was from the United States Space Agency, and the other was the American Space Technology Exploration Company, the former representing the official position of the United States, and the latter representing the civilian forces of the United States.
The price of the US Space Agency is very high, and it costs 130 million US dollars for one launch, and it also requires Gu Yu to not launch this satellite, nor can he launch that kind of satellite, and he does not give Gu Yu any guarantee, if the rocket launches failure, he will not lose a penny.
Gu Yu shook his head, put down the bid directly, and then picked up the bid of the United States Space Exploration Technology Company. The tender was much more sincere, and the offer was very low, only $56 million. Moreover, for Gu Yu's artificial satellite, they promised to properly protect it, and they would contact the satellite under the supervision of Gu Yu's representative.
This tender took into account all the details that Gu Yu might be worried about, and it was simply a caring service, which made Gu Yu very satisfied, and he almost subconsciously chose to use the services of the United States Space Exploration Company, but after thinking about it, he picked up the bids of other companies.
Even after reading a few points, each one failed to meet his psychological expectations, either the launch price was too expensive, or various restrictions were provided, as if Gu Yu was begging them to launch. After reading these copies, Gu Yu completely lost interest in them.
In the end, Gu Yu picked up the tender of the Huaxia Aviation Research Center, he had almost no expectations for this bid, he knew too well the mentality of some people in China, if they didn't take this opportunity to do something, it would not be their style.
However, when Gu Yu saw the content of the tender, he was completely stunned, the two main places in the tender, one is the launch cost, the other is the service commitment, and the other bids are full, I can't wait to use up a pack of paper, but this tender is good, there are only two pages, in the launch cost column, it says how much you say is how much. In the service commitment column, it is written that what you ask is what it is, and everything is as you wish.
Gu Yu is a little cloudy, what's going on?
