【Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network】 Since its establishment, the Great Wall Company has only been 11 years old, and it is mainly engaged in foreign economic and foreign trade business of space technology services and other aerospace products.

In 1985, China announced that the Long March rocket would enter the international market, and the Great Wall Company was responsible for market development, and then the company obtained the exclusive right to operate international commercial satellite launch services and international satellite cooperation.

In 1987, Great Wall signed a contract with the French company Matra at the Paris Air Show to carry its microgravity experimental device on a returnable satellite launched by the Long March-2C carrier rocket. In August of the same year, China's ninth re-entry satellite launched by the Long March-2C rocket successfully carried two microgravity experimental devices of the French company Matra, and returned safely that month. This is the first time that Great Wall has signed a commercial carrying contract to provide on-board carrying services to foreign users.

In November 1988, Great Wall and Hughes signed a contract in Los Angeles to launch two Australian Ausset-B satellites on a Long March-2 strap-on rocket, which was also China's first commercial satellite launch service contract.

In April 1990, the Long March-3 carrier rocket accurately launched the "Asia-1" satellite manufactured by Hughes into geosynchronous orbit at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. China has broadcast to the world through satellite television the first successful launch of a foreign communications satellite using a self-developed carrier rocket, and this success indicates that China has entered the international market for commercial satellite launch services.

In July 1990, after 18 months of development, the Long March-2 strap-on carrier rocket successfully conducted its first flight test and launched the Pakistani satellite into the predetermined orbit. This is the first time that China has carried a foreign satellite. The Long March-2 strap-on launch vehicle is the first high-thrust launch vehicle developed by China on the basis of mature technology to meet market demand, and its success has enabled the Long March rocket to carry capacity in low earth orbit to 9.5 tons.

In the lobby downstairs of the hotel, Fan Wuxian met Li Ruohai, the vice president of the Great Wall Company, who had hurried to Shanghai.

Li Ruohai is in his forties, but he looks older, his hair has turned white, but he is still in good spirits, and his elegant atmosphere shows that he himself has come out of the expert team.

In fact, many leaders in the Chang Chen company. He is a mainland expert in the industry, not only with a high degree of education. He also has high quality and rich experience in rocket launch technology, and Li Ruohai is naturally no exception at this time.

"Mr. Li, hello." Fan Wuxian smiled and shook Li Ruohai's hand twice.

"You are? Mr. Fan? Li Ruohai was also surprised to see Fan Wuxi, although Deputy Director Zhang had already reminded him. It was said that the rich man who bought three satellites manufactured by Hughes Company in one go was a young man, but he never thought that Fan Wuxi would be so young, no wonder Deputy Director Zhang's expression was a little strange when he talked to him.

"Hehe, what Fan is not always Fan, just call me Xiao Fan." Fan Wuxian himself has been swaying between black and white before he was reborn, and he is also engaged in illegal business of money laundering, this time after being reborn. Since he no longer has to do those heart-wrenching and uncomfortable work, he has played with industry and capital, but in his previous life, he respected these experts who focused on the high-tech industry of the motherland very much, and it has not changed until now, so he saw a senior talent like Li Ruohai. In any case, it is necessary to show a little respect.

However, Li Ruohai is not a character who does not know the importance of the matter, even if the young man in front of him is, he is also a rich man who has the ability to buy three of the most advanced communication satellites to play, for such a character, the entire Great Wall Company must also try its best, how can he be snub because the other party is young?

Besides, Li Ruohai also knows one thing, if it is an ordinary teenager who relies on the grace of his grandparents to have some wealth, then it will be fine. But a super genius like Fan Wuxi, who is obviously playing a piece of the world by himself. But it is not something that can be ignored. This kind of person, ten out of ten geniuses!

Therefore, Fan Wuxi also calmly accepted Li Ruohai's respectful gaze. Although he is a little shy in his heart, he is better than having a thicker skin, and he will not blush and be timid.

"Mr. Li, boss, should we find a place to talk?" Davis reminded from the side.

Fan Wuxian took a look, Li Ruohai brought two entourages, all of whom looked quite strong, they seemed to be bodyguards and the like, and they could also be security personnel from the Ministry of Security.

You must know that an organization like the Great Wall Company is basically a large military enterprise with a government in Beijing, and the CEOs often have complex identities and a high degree of confidentiality, so it is reasonable to send a few more bodyguards to protect them.

Li Ruohai didn't speak, although he had been to Shanghai many times, but he came and went in a hurry, and he didn't notice these inconsequential things, at this time Davis proposed to find a place to speak, where could he think of where to go for a while?

Fan Wuxian thought for a while and suggested to Li Ruohai, "Why don't you go to the beach and sit down?" There are many people in the hotel, but it is not suitable for deep talk. ”

"No problem, then let's go to the beach." Li Ruohai nodded and agreed.

When I walked out of the hotel, I saw that the car that Li Ruohai and others were riding in was parked outside, and it was two gray Lincolns.

Fan Wuxian couldn't help but feel a little surprised, a cadre of Li Ruohai's level seems to be unqualified to ride in a car of this grade, and the central government has a special document on the issue of riding a car, and the Lincoln car is considered a high-end car, and it is among the restrictions.

Li Ruohai saw Fan Wuxi's surprise, so he explained, "We are specialized in foreign trade, and we deal with foreigners all day long, so well, the façade still needs to be decorated, this is a car specially approved by the government, and it is an exceptional use." ”

Oh, Fan Wuxian nodded, and said in his heart, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, it just so happens that I don't have a car in Shanghai, so I'll take your good car today." ”

"There's no problem with that." Li Ruohai laughed.

Fan Wuxian plus Davis and a bodyguard, a total of three people. plus Li Ruohai and three people, there were still empty seats in the two cars, so Davis and the bodyguard got into the car under the leadership of an entourage of Li Ruohai, while Li Ruohai and Fan Wuxian got into another car, and the bodyguard also played the role of the driver.

Hey? Fan Wuxi looked at the co-pilot seat in front of him, and there was actually a girl sitting in front of him, with long hair. A dark blue professional suit, I can't tell what my face looks like. But he's in good shape.

"Let's go, look at the sea." Li Ruohai gave an order to the driver, and then the car started.

It is said that it is the seaside, but in fact, it is still separated by a distance, but the sea breeze is indeed quite fishy, there is a row of parasols, and the people below are doing business. There are a lot of people selling some barbecue seafood, beer or something.

A few people found a relatively clean place to sit down, asked for some barbecue and beer or something, and ate and talked here, and the atmosphere was not bad.

"Actually, you should get some liquor for eating seafood, but beer is barely enough." Fan Wuxi took a grilled crab and said to Li Ruohai while eating.

Li Ruohai didn't have any intention of eating. He is now full of things about the satellite launch site, but he has just met the customer, and he can't rush to sell his business all of a sudden, so he can only accompany Fan Wuxian to drink and eat.

Although Fan Wuxian is young in physical age, in addition to his previous life, his mental age is more than forty. Naturally, he could see Li Ruohai's thoughts, so he said with a smile, "You don't have to think much about work, if it weren't for taking care of your business, how could I buy three satellites at once?" Let's have a good drink today and then talk about the details. ”

As soon as Li Ruohai heard that Fan Wuxian had made this promise, he immediately felt better, and directly asked for a beer, and said with a smile, "Then I'm welcome!" It's a rare opportunity. Mr. Fan, don't say that I bully the small! ”

More than an hour. A bunch of beer on the ground went down, and even the girl drank a lot. His face was as red as an apple, and Fan Wuxian couldn't help but look at it twice.

"Deputy Director Zhang is very familiar with you?" Li Ruohai couldn't help but ask.

When Deputy Director Zhang told Li Ruohai that Fan Wuxian had bought three satellites of Hughes Company, he once revealed a little bit of news, saying that if the business could not be negotiated, he would greet him, and Li Ruohai deduced from this that Deputy Director Zhang must be very familiar with Fan Wuxi, otherwise it would be impossible to say such a thing with such a big certainty.

"I'm very familiar with each other, and I've known each other for more than ten years." Fan Wuxian thought that when he was three and a half years old, he followed his father Fan Heng to Guangzhou, and when he saw Director Zhang for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little in a trance, and before he knew it, it had been twelve years, and time passed so fast!

When you think about the events of these years, it really feels like a dream.

Li Ruohai listened to it, but felt a little inexplicable, how old is Xin Dao Fan without illness, and he has known Deputy Director Zhang for more than ten years? But after thinking about it, it seems that I heard that Fan Wuxi's father is becoming the mayor of a prefecture-level city, or it is possible that the two of them are world friends.

"Alas, don't mention these, friendship is friendship, business is business, I want to ask by the way, how much did you estimate for the launch of three satellites?" Fan Wuxian was half lying on the recliner and asked Li Ruohai, who was also lying next to him.

Li Ruohai listened to Fan Wuxi's question, and waved his hand to the girl next to him.

The girl took out a document from her purse and handed it to Fan Wuxi.

Fan Wuxi glanced at it, wrote a lot of detailed budgets on it, and estimated a price in the back, settled in US dollars, 36 million US dollars each, which was the same price as the price quoted by the Great Wall Company to the Osset Company.

This price is acceptable, after all, in order to steal business for foreign companies at that time, the Great Wall Company kept the price very low, basically making no profit, and the same price was given to Fan Wuxi, which was very authentic.

In this case, the cost of launching the three satellites on the ground would be $100.8 million, plus the cost of insurance, which would be about the same as the cost of the launch, totaling $220 million, plus the $300 million spent on the purchase of satellites, for a total of more than $500 million.

This stuff is so expensive! Fan Wuxian couldn't help but shake his head.

However, when I think that Wal-Mart spent seven or eight billion dollars to build a global sales network, I still have a lot of light. At least the two or three billion dollars saved can be used for ground terminal construction and software construction.

"This price is already the reserve price, but we still hope to increase the price in publicity, otherwise the market will not be good in the future." Li Ruohai saw that Fan Wuxian had no objection to his offer, so he put forward his own request.

"There's no problem with this, it's good for others and for yourself." Fan Wuxian nodded and replied.

"There's one more. It's that we hope that the launch time can be ahead of the Australian Star. Li Ruohai made another request.

"Oh? Why is that? Fan Wuxian asked with some puzzlement.

Li Ruohai took a sip of beer and explained to Fan Wuxi. "Because the satellite you bought is actually the same type, so it is the same in various parameters and performance, and our second bundle of earth has successfully sent a Pakistani satellite into the sky since the successful development last year, but as you know, the mass of the Australian satellite is much heavier than the Pakistani satellite, so we still hope to be able to launch your satellite. A comprehensive correction of the Long Two bundle rocket. ”

Oh, it's been a long time, and I'm using my satellite as an experiment!

However, Fan Wuxi is not very dissatisfied with this, after all, people have made it very clear, and the price is also the lowest, and it is natural for him to make a little contribution without being rude.

However, Fan Wuxian also knows a little about the affairs of the Great Wall Company. I remember that before I was reborn, there was a problem with the first launch of the Austar, but fortunately the stars and arrows were saved, but it was delayed for three months before the second launch was successful, and when the second Ausstar was launched, there was a major accident. The satellite exploded as soon as it was launched, causing heavy damage.

With this cognition, Fan Wuxian had to give Liu Ruohai a few words, so he pondered for a while and said, "The performance of your long two bundles is still relatively good, but one thing needs to be pointed out is that the problem often does not appear in the rocket design itself, but in the processing, especially to pay attention to the processing and production of those parts." The slightest flaw will cause the launch to fail. As for launching my satellite first. There is no problem, after all, the satellite was launched a day earlier. I would have been able to make a profit sooner. ”

Li Ruohai said in his heart, if you don't have satellites, we need satellite launch missions, and it is estimated that we will not be able to go together. But of course, he couldn't say that, he assured Fan Wuxian, "Every one of our processes is the strictest, and the rocket always has to go through dozens of inspections before it takes off, and these low-level mistakes you said are absolutely impossible!" ”

Fan Wuxian smiled, and said in his heart Your guarantee, that is to say, is just a word, if it is really time for something to go wrong, no one's guarantee can solve the problem. But this kind of thing, it's really hard to talk about, unless it is when the accident happens, people can believe your words, after all, scientific researchers are also very face-conscious, especially in the field full of self-confidence.

But as soon as the words came out, Liu Ruohai always felt a little uncomfortable, especially the girl, who looked at Fan Wuxi's demeanor with even more disdain, just like the eyes of the people in the city who looked at the rich land.

Fan Wuxian said in his heart, it's not that I have a dark heart, nor do I have a heart to curse you, but when you have an accident, it won't be like this. I don't mention this stubble anymore at the moment, just drink and chat.

Li Ruohai talked with Fan Wuxian here for an afternoon before leaving, because the follow-up matters had to be discussed in the long run, so he was not in a hurry, but left Fan Wuxian his contact information between Beijing and the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.

Fan Wuxian sent Li Ruohai away, and only then did he return to the hotel, and some of his subordinates reported that Mr. Maximus of Hughes was already waiting in the guest room.

"What's the matter with this old man looking for me again?" Fan Wuxian drank six or seven bottles of beer before he went to the bathroom to put water, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help frowning a little, knowing that his purchase money had already been paid to Hughes's account, what else could he do?

Rubbing his temples, which were a little painful, Fan walked into the room.

"Aha, Mr. Fan!" The old Jewish man Maximus was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and when he saw Fan Wuxian coming back, he immediately stood up excitedly and greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Maximus, you must have something important coming late at night, right?" Fan asked Davis to pour Maximus a cup of tea, find another box of cigars and throw it over.

"Oh, Cuban goods, good!" Maximus is also a person who knows the goods, and when he saw that the cigar handed over by Fan Wuxian was actually a handmade cigar of Cuban origin, he couldn't help but light up, skillfully picked up the small scissors in the box, cut off the tail, and then roasted it slightly on the fire, and swallowed it after ignition, looking very enjoyable.

"I'm here to discuss with you about the launch. Our company in the United States is very interested in this business, so I hope I can come over and see if there is an opportunity for cooperation? Maximus said to Fan Wuxian while swallowing the clouds.

"I don't care about this, I just finalized this business with the Great Wall Company, and their price is good, and it is estimated that the American company will not be able to reduce this amount." Fan Wuxian said to Maximos with an indifferent face.

"Oh, what a pity! Looks like I'm still a step too late! Maximos shrugged his shoulders with some regret and said to Fan Wuxian, "However, it is not unreasonable for you to choose the Great Wall Company, the rocket launch company in the United States has been at a low ebb recently, and due to the successive launch failures in the early stage, I don't think they themselves have much confidence." It's just that the Great Wall Company has earned it this time, plus the two satellites of Australia's Osset Company, they have won a total of five satellite launch tasks, and what is even more enviable is that these five satellites are of the same type, which can be referred to each other, and the workload is much smaller. So, even if the price they quote is low, there is a lot of profit! ”

Fan Wuxian thought about it carefully, what Maximus said was not unreasonable, the preparations to operate five different types of satellites for launch must be quite cumbersome, while five satellites of the same type are relatively simple, it seems that the people of the Great Wall Company are still relatively shrewd.

"However, there is another problem that we seem to have forgotten to emphasize when we signed the contract." The old Jewish man Maximus said to Fan Wuxian.

"Is there one?" Fan Wuxian was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Of course." Maximus nodded, "It's about the costs we need to pay for the security of the satellite during the process of being transported from the factory to the launch platform of the rocket. ”

"Is there a fee for this?" Fan Wuxi touched his chin and said, "I said old man, you are not authentic!" Why is this not reflected in the contract? If you bring it up now, I can sue you for breach of contract! ”

The old Jewish man scratched his head and said, "This thing is a common practice in the industry, in order to prevent the company's business intelligence and technology from leaking, the satellite manufacturing company sends the satellite to the rocket platform by hand, our people are responsible for installation and commissioning, and the consignee provides the relevant expenses, which is reasonable and impeccable." If there is something wrong with this, it is that we have never sold this kind of communication satellite, which represents the highest level of science and technology, to a natural person. ”
