On April 8, with the efforts of many aerospace departments and aerospace technicians and the attention of the whole country, the Dongfanghong 2 satellite was successfully launched at 8 o'clock in the morning. The Chang-3 rocket was successfully launched, and the Dongfanghong 2 satellite entered the predetermined orbit normally and successfully transferred the communication signal to the ground, which fully verified the reliability of the Dongfanghong series of satellite communication technology and the Long March-3 carrier rocket!

After the celebration banquet, Chen Bin, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, telephoned Lin Qiangsheng, who had returned to Bincheng to negotiate with local leaders of the Daqing Oilfield and HJL provinces, a subsidiary of the China National Petroleum and Petrochemical Corporation, and the two seaport cities of Da L and Dan D, and personally informed him of the good news.

Chen Bin said with a smile on the phone: "You little ghost, did you expect that our satellite launch would be successful, so you rushed to finalize the insurance company to make our money?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "Where do I have you thinking so badly!" The launch of the satellite is your business and I can not intervene, success or failure depends on the joint efforts of all of you, whether the launch can be successful is of course only known to you and the majority of astronauts, how will I know before the satellite is in the sky, the result may also fall The insurance company will accompany you with a lot of money, Director Chen, don't rely on me! ”

Chen Bin laughed and said, "You kid, you took our 9.5 million insurance money!" How much can you do with this money, hurry up and return the 9.5 million to me! ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "How is it possible, this money is not in my hands, but in the account of the Pacific Insurance Company, how can you still ask for the account after the agreement between the two parties has been signed!" But don't be reluctant, the money still has to be used in the construction of the country, and the insurance industry is also a major event related to the well-being and well-being of the people! ”

Chen Bin nodded and said, "It's good that it won't be wasted, I can warn you." If you just spend this money casually, me and some people should be scolded! ”

Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly packed the ticket and would not spend money indiscriminately, he continued: "This satellite launch was successful, when do you expect the next launch to be scheduled?" It's my satellite's turn, right? ”

Chen Bin said: "Of course, next time we will have a three-star project, and launch the satellite you ordered into the sky as soon as possible, so that we can complete the contract, and when the satellite is in the sky, you don't forget to pay the final payment." Aerospace research is very expensive! We, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, are still counting on using your money to continue scientific research! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "The final payment will not be forgotten, Director Chen, don't be so pitiful, the launch of three satellites will cost more than 100 million US dollars!" This is equivalent to five or six billion yuan, and the good days of China's aerospace sector are coming early! ”

In the original history, China's aerospace industry undertook international commercial launch missions in the early 90s, but during that time, the pace of China's aerospace industry to the international level was not smooth. First of all, in 92 years after China launched the second Australian satellite over the satellite explosion cause is unknown, in the following years in China on average every year there are one or two launch failures, in February 96 there was a rocket tilt and fall to the ground explosion and the tragic lesson of casualties, and then in that year there was another satellite did not have a normal orbit record.

Before becoming a major country in the aerospace industry, China's aerospace people had to work harder and pay more sweat than their foreign counterparts!

And this life. Lin Qiangsheng started commercial cooperation with the domestic aerospace department nearly ten years in advance, and reached an agreement with the domestic aerospace department to order satellites for commissioned launch at the beginning of the successful development of the Dongfanghong 2 satellite and the Chang-3 rocket. The launch of three satellites, which is also a big project in other space powers in the world, although domestic satellites are cheaper than foreign countries, the technical level is a grade lower, but this is the promotion of domestic space technology is unlimited!

Lin Qiangsheng let China's aerospace enter the international satellite market early, although his behavior is a little reckless and reckless, after all, China is a technologically backward country, the stability of the rocket needs to be improved, and the launch success rate has not been tested. However, reality has proved that China's aerospace technology strength is not weak, and it can fully undertake international commercial launch missions!

Director Chen Bin naturally didn't understand the meaning of Lin Qiangsheng's words. He is still very grateful to Lin Qiangsheng for being able to support the development of national science and technology, and he also admires this young man, he said happily: "Good news for you, now the Space Research Institute is already conducting research on the Dongfanghong 2A satellite, and it is progressing very smoothly!" After your three satellites are successfully launched, it won't be long before the No. 2A satellite will be successfully developed next year! Kobayashi. On behalf of all departments of China's aerospace industry and the vast number of astronauts, I would like to thank you for your support and help. ”

Chen Bin is right, due to Lin Qiangsheng's vigorous investment and technical support, the development of domestic aerospace science and technology has indeed accelerated a lot!

In this period of history, it was a difficult period for the country's economy, and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense also called on all research units at the lower levels to strive to save research and development funds, and even the Chinese Academy of Sciences made a way to encourage scientific research institutes to cooperate with enterprises in 85 years. In such a difficult environment, not to mention aerospace science and technology, all domestic scientific research projects have been interfered with to varying degrees.

At this difficult moment, Lin Qiangsheng dared to sign a satellite launch contract with China, and the financial support he provided has largely become a lifesaver for the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, thus supporting the continued development of many research and development projects!

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Then I congratulate you in advance on the successful development of the No. 3A satellite, and I will order 3 satellites after you succeed!" ”

"Oh? Seriously! Chen Bin was really a little surprised, he was a little suspicious of his ears, what did Lin Qiangsheng want so many satellites for!

Lin Qiangsheng explained: "I calculated, even if you don't require global positioning to deploy satellites in some important areas of the northern and southern hemispheres, if you want to locate clearly and in time, you need at least 8 satellites!" ”

Chen Bin nodded and said, "Yes, but what do you want so many satellites for?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Do you remember the big logistics system I mentioned? I plan to establish a global logistics system and transfer my company's logistics data by satellite. When the upstream manufacturers ship the goods, I can receive them in time through the satellite system, prepare for production, and ship to the hands of consumers, and establish seamless tracking through the satellite network. This communication system can greatly speed up the logistics efficiency of Dongxing Group and reduce operating costs to the greatest extent, and the benefits are immeasurable! So I must build a complete satellite communication network, which of course requires more satellites! Therefore, Director Chen, you urge the scientific researchers in the domestic aerospace sector to continue to work hard, there are orders waiting for them! ”

Chen Bin was greatly surprised, and in an instant he said in surprise: "Otherwise, you will come to the Commission of Science and Technology now and we will sign the contract first, anyway, you waited for more than two years last time, and it will be okay to wait for another two years this time!" You pay the deposit first, and we have the money to improve the communication technology, and you can use better satellites! ”

Lin Qiangsheng patted his head and said: "This, I'm very busy in Bincheng now, Daqing Oilfield is very difficult, I can't get over you for the time being!" ”

Chen Bin hurriedly asked Minglin what happened to Johnson and Johnson, which made him so nerve-wracking.

Originally, Lin Qiangsheng wanted to establish several major petrochemical bases in China, which required a huge supply of oil, but now the domestic oilfields, storage and transportation are concentrated in the hands of several major oilfield companies, and these companies are very arrogant because of their high status and monopoly.

When Lin Qiangsheng negotiated and cooperated with Daqing Oilfield, he proposed to purchase 3 million tons of oil every year, and then increase the purchase quantity every year to expand the scale of petrochemical production. But Daqing said that they also had their own tasks, and could not provide 3 million tons of oil per year to Lin Qiangsheng's petrochemical enterprises.

Lin Qiangsheng learned that Daqing's annual oil production is about 10 million tons, which is more than half of the total domestic oil production! In addition to supplying and earning foreign exchange for export, the crude oil they exploited is supplied to the major domestic petroleum and petrochemical processing enterprises, and a small part of it is digested in Jiliao and transported to all parts of the customs, and the state has also set a quota for Daqing how much oil production must be transported out of the customs every year.

If Lin Qiangsheng wants to establish a large petrochemical base in H Province, he will inevitably compete with other provinces for oil share, Daqing and these places are old relations and have supported the construction of petroleum and petrochemical in these places, and even many people who have come out of the Daqing Oilfield are the backbone of these local enterprises, so they are breaking bones and connecting tendons, Lin Qiangsheng must convince its leadership if he wants to get oil share, and the national leaders seem to be reluctant to give mandatory orders in this regard!

After Chen Bin understood, he pondered and said: "I heard that you don't have a big investment, since Daqing can't give you a share of oil, then you can find a way to cooperate with it to increase its production!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "I want to increase their production, but Daqing is an important national energy base, and the wind can't blow into the water and splash it, so it's not easy to do!" You know that a large key state-owned enterprise like Daqing, even the words of the governor and the secretary of the provincial party committee are not good, and it is even more difficult to communicate with them! ”

Chen Bin said: "Maybe you can negotiate with local petroleum and petrochemical companies in various provinces in China, and let them give up some oil shares. ”

Lin Qiangsheng was suddenly reminded by Chen Bin to negotiate with petroleum and petrochemical enterprises in various provinces in China, and this idea seemed to open the floodgates for him all of a sudden. In the past, he always felt that cooperation with large enterprises was faster and most efficient, and contact with local small enterprises often meant that the relationship was difficult and inefficient, but now he has encountered obstacles in front of monopoly large enterprises, and it is also a good choice for small enterprises to eat up large enterprises!
