After the launch failed, Lin Qiangsheng and Mary were arranged to be transferred out of the base immediately, and the reason given by the Chinese side was to avoid accidental danger to personnel. Although this reason was far-fetched, Lin Qiangsheng and the others didn't want to say anything, and they got on the bus to Xichang Airport at about 10 o'clock in the morning that day.

Lin Qiangsheng and Mary soon returned to the capital by plane, while Chen Bin, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Qi Fayun, a well-known domestic space technology expert and chief designer of the Dongfanghong 2 satellite, and Long Lehao, the overall chief designer of the famous missile and carrier rocket, the Long March-3 rocket, stayed at the satellite launch center to sort out the mistakes and omissions, sum up experience, and find out the causes.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th, Lin Johnson and others returned to the capital, Mary and others did not stay, they immediately went through the procedures for returning to China, and on the morning of the 31st, they took a flight to New York, USA.

A few days later, Director Chen Bin, who was busy with his busy schedule, called Lin Qiangsheng, who had been anxiously waiting for his news in the capital, and Chen Bin said on the phone: "Xiaolin, the third-stage engine did not ignite in this test launch, and the satellite did not enter the scheduled orbit. ”

He continued: "You left in a hurry, we didn't have a good chat, I and the central government hope that the failure of this experiment will not affect our cooperation, you have to believe that the motherland's scientific research workers, they will definitely find out the reason and try to do their best!" The next launch is expected to take place in April, and when the time comes, I invite you to watch it again, and our Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will definitely give you a satisfactory result! ”

After listening to this, Lin Qiangsheng pondered for a while and said: "Director Chen, I think China has done a good job, which rocket technology country in the world has not had the experience of failure?" I believe that the Chang-3 rocket will be successful, and I won't go there in April, so you can tell me when I arrange my satellite launch. You can rest assured. Although this test launch failed, it will not affect the continued cooperation between us! ”

He continued: "But the Americans saw it there! Will this have any undesirable international repercussions? ”

Director Chen Bin said helplessly: "The impact has already been there, and the foreign media have belittled us very much!" He then laughed and said, "But we just show weakness to the enemy, and we don't have to publicize it ourselves!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng patted his chest and said: "You can rest assured, I am absolutely confident in China's rocket technology, and I will unswervingly support the continued development of satellite and rocket technology in China!" ”

Chen Bin said movingly: "Thank you." Comrade Lin Qiangsheng! On behalf of all the comrades of the Commission of Science and Technology and the Space Research Institute and the Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, I thank you! ”

The two sighed for a while, and Chen Bin continued: "I won't tell you, it's really a little bit of international influence, originally we have negotiated an international insurance company, but now the other party knows that our rocket launch failed and then retreats, it seems that this family has collapsed again!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said regretfully: "The loss caused by this launch failure must be very large, a satellite and a rocket are gone, this is hundreds of millions of yuan!" ”

Although Chen Bin knew that the loss did not reach so much money this time, the loss was still not small! According to rough statistics, the loss this time is at least 60 or 70 million. It was gone in an instant, and the backup satellites and rockets had to be taken out to complete the launch mission. And it has also led to a bad international impact, foreign slander of China's satellite and rocket technology! Especially now that the focus of the country's development has shifted to economic construction, the country is very poor and needs money everywhere, the already stretched national defense budget has made a big hole, and the pressure from home and abroad is very great felt by the Science, Technology and Industry Commission and other departments!

Director Chen Bin paused for a while and said: "The domestic PICC has made it clear that it does not accept the policy, and now the situation has reached a very urgent moment!" Both the higher-ups and I feel that your earlier proposal to establish a joint venture insurance company is time to be put on the agenda! Kobayashi. Premier Zhao has already called me, and the above has agreed in principle to your plan. Several companies will be selected to jointly participate in the formation of insurance companies with Dongxing Company! This insurance company is very important to undertake the guarantee task for some major national projects! ”

Lin Qiangsheng stood up immediately when he heard this surprising news, and he said excitedly: "Does the country really agree?" That's great! ”

Then he asked, "When will the preparations begin?" ”

Director Chen Bin said with a smile: "You are very anxious! I can tell you, we have to insure the test launch in April! ”

Lin Qiangsheng laughed and said: "It's okay, you have learned the lessons, I believe that your next test launch will be successful!" ”

Director Chen Bin jokingly said: "You have a lot of confidence in China!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded again and again and said, "It's not okay if you don't have confidence." The cost of foreign satellite launches is too expensive! ”

Chen Bin laughed for a while, chatted with Lin Qiangsheng for a few more words, and he told Lin Qiangsheng that someone in China would soon come to him to discuss the formation of an insurance company. In the end, Director Chen Bin also told him not to mention the failure of the satellite launch to others, and the news was temporarily blocked in China!

February 11th. On the ninth day after the Spring Festival, things began to progress, and the Beijing municipal government notified Lin Qiangsheng of a meeting of intent to establish a joint venture insurance company.

Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly flew back to the capital with people, and at the meeting he met the top leaders of the municipal government and the relevant leaders of the Beijing State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Lin Qiangsheng brought a female secretary, Mu Qing, and several foreign business negotiators, and Lin Qiangsheng signed a long-term contract with a negotiation company that would send people to China on a rotational basis.

Before the meeting began, they met with the secretary of the municipal party committee, deputy secretary and mayor surnamed Chen, a leader surnamed Chen who was really a powerful man in the officialdom of the capital at this time.

The leader surnamed Chen was obviously stunned when he saw Lin Qiangsheng, this short leader didn't expect that the foreign representative would be so young!

"Hello Secretary Chen, I'm Lin Qiangsheng, chairman of Dongxing Company!" Lin Qiangsheng tried hard to squeeze out a smile and shook hands with the person in front of him and said.

There is no way, this leader surnamed Chen is a real legend to Lin Qiangsheng, and the scarlet news of his lace deeds has fascinated Lin Qiangsheng for a long time!

In my previous life, I happened to have a drinking party with my friends, and when we chatted, everyone also made fun of this person's deeds, but I didn't expect Lin Qiangsheng to really see him in this life!

At this time, Lin Qiangsheng had already recalled in his mind the mysterious, excited, suppressed and curious laughter that everyone showed when they talked about this person in his previous life, especially when they talked about his amazing deeds.

Attention returned to the eyes of Lin Qiangsheng, and the little smile squeezed out on Lin Qiangsheng's face gradually bloomed, and then became bigger and bigger, so that the person in front of him felt that Lin Qiangsheng's face lit up, and Chen Xitong saw that his eyes were dazzled and his throat was itchy!

"Ahem, hello, Chairman Kobayashi!" Chen Xitong secretly said in his heart, isn't there something wrong with this young man being so happy to see him?

Shaking off Lin Qiangsheng's hand, Chen Xitong shook hands with several foreigners casually and said a few words of half-baked English, and when he saw Mu Qing, the beautiful secretary Lin Qiangsheng was carrying, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Mu Qing has matured a lot now, and her temperament is very different from that of domestic women in society now, and it is the kind of taste that exudes from being a senior white-collar worker raised in a large company. And she herself is also very beautiful, twenty-three or four years old is the best time period in a woman's life, which makes Mu Qingzhou exude alluring magic from top to bottom, which is naturally very attractive to Chen Xitong!

Mu Qing frowned slightly when she was stared at by Chen Xitong, how could she have ever seen someone who looked at her with such eyes, and she was also a high-ranking official in the capital!

Mu Qing nodded politely, and she has also been trained into a real office woman in Dongxing Company over the years. Don't look at the girl's youth, but she has been abroad for two years, and Mu Qing's temperament is quite independent! During that time, she not only broadened her horizons but also was comfortable communicating with foreigners, and now she gives people the impression of being shrewd, capable, mature and confident, and at the same time has an intellectual beauty!

Chen Xitong took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Mu Qing and said, "This young lady, hello! Are you also from Eastern Star? ”

Lin Qiangsheng's face changed quietly, and he said in a hurry: "This is Miss Mu Qing, my secretary!" Secretary Chen, don't look at her age, but she is very capable! ”

Chen Xitong listened to Lin Qiangsheng's deliberately strengthened tone, and he didn't know what Lin Qiangsheng meant. Now he is not the Chen Xitong who does whatever he wants ten years later, he laughed dryly, let go of his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, good!" Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! ”

After everyone sat down, Chen Xitong didn't give Lin Qiangsheng a good face, and only heard him say alone: "This time, the central government appointed me to be responsible for the establishment of a joint venture insurance company, and since this is the case, I will prepare this company well!" I have only one request here, the establishment of this insurance company must strictly abide by the relevant laws and regulations, and be established in accordance with the "Company Law" issued by the central government! The central government allowed Dongxing Company to participate in the shares, which was the first time in China that foreign investment was opened to the insurance industry. For the sake of prudence, this company is led by the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the foreign shareholding shall not be higher than 35%! I mean, you should find a few more state-owned enterprises to participate in this insurance company, reduce risks, plan carefully, and not let state-owned assets be lost! ”

Liu Yong, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, nodded yes and said: "We plan to find a few more large state-owned enterprises, in strict accordance with the relevant laws and company laws of foreign-funded joint stock companies issued by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the central government, please rest assured Secretary Chen!" ”

Chen Xitong nodded and said: "When you have found a cooperative enterprise, bring the joint venture draft to me, and I will personally review it!" (To be continued.) )
