Chapter 217: Dongfanghong Series Satellites
After lunch, Lin Qiangsheng took a nap, and the phone rang just after one o'clock.
Zhang Shanshan transferred the phone in, and Lin Qiangsheng picked up the phone and knew that it was Qi Jinping calling in person when he heard the voice.
He smiled and said, "Comrade Qi, is there a reply from above?" Is I allowed to set up a taxi company? ”
Qi Jinping said on the other end of the phone: "The superior leaders agree with your plan in principle, and I will negotiate with you on the specific matters, and I will arrive at the plane in Bincheng at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly said: "Don't let you go, I can't stand it!" Just call me Johnson & Johnson or Xiaolin, you're older than me!
Qi Jinping nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! Then call you Comrade Johnson & Johnson. ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and smiled: "Okay, this title is good!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng didn't expect Qi Jinping to fly over to talk to him in person, and he immediately said: "I'll pick you up at the airport on time tomorrow, and welcome your arrival!" ”
Qi Jinping smiled and said, "I will inform the leaders of Bincheng Automobile Company, and you also need to communicate with them about ordering vehicles." I went to Bencheng to discuss with you three issues, one is about the establishment of a taxi company, the second is to negotiate with you with the leading comrades of Bincheng Automobile Company on the transaction of Jetta cars, and the third is to negotiate with you on the issue of satellites! ”
"I've already contacted Laura and Hughes Aerospace & Communications to buy their satellites, and China will help me launch them when the time comes, right?" Lin Qiangsheng asked.
Qi Jinping said ambiguously: "If you let the domestic launch, I'm afraid these foreign companies will refuse to sell it to you." There is a better plan in China, and our Dongfanghong series satellites can meet your requirements! ”
Lin Qiangsheng asked suspiciously: "Are you saying that if I want to launch in China, the Americans will not sell it to me?" ”
Qi Jinping said: "That's pretty much it! Europe and the United States are strictly restricted from exporting high-tech projects to China, especially aerospace science and technology products such as communication satellites! ”
Lin Qiangsheng thought about it for a while, although he bought the satellite himself. If he wants to launch in the United States, there is no problem, but if it is shipped back to China, it is considered an export, and he can understand this kind of thing.
Lin Qiangsheng asked: "What is the development of domestic communication satellites?" In his previous life, he had never heard of any communication satellites launched in China in the early 80s, perhaps because he knew very little about it. In May this year, China launched a Dongfeng-5 intercontinental missile into the Pacific Ocean, which was the first test launch of an intercontinental missile in New China, and it was reported in China for a while.
Qi Jinping also deliberately learned about this aspect. He said to Lin Qiangsheng on the other end of the phone: "At present, the Dongfanghong No. 2 satellite is being developed in China, and if you order this model, it will definitely speed up the domestic development of the Dongfanghong No. 2 satellite, which is a great thing for the country and the people!" I hope that Comrade Lin will consider our domestic satellite equipment, although it is not as advanced as foreign countries, but we will definitely consider giving you an appropriate price! After finishing speaking, Qi Jinping breathed a sigh of relief, he really let go this time, in order to develop the domestic satellite business, it was the first time he bargained with someone like this, this is definitely the first time in his life.
Lin Qiangsheng smiled. He was fortunate enough to let this big comrade become a promoter, which is really a rare experience!
Lin Qiangsheng has no reason not to agree, anyway, whoever uses the product will use it, and it is estimated that the country will not treat him badly. He pondered and said, "Okay, it's just that I've promised to go abroad to see it." After the agreement on the establishment of a taxi company is signed, we may as well go to the United States for an inspection, so that I can learn about the development of international satellites, and then we can talk about satellites? ”
Qi Jinping also knew that the transaction matters of satellites could not be decided lightly. He was also prepared for long-term negotiations, so he agreed to Lin Qiangsheng's request.
After putting down the phone, Qi Jinping immediately went to the Seventh Machinery Department to learn from them about the development process of the communications satellite. The Seventh Machinery Department (Aerospace Industry) is responsible for the development of intercontinental missiles, submarine-launched solid missiles, and geostationary orbit test communication satellites.
Qi Jinping met with Vice Minister Zhang Jun at the Seventh Machine Ministry. The major-general minister wears a military uniform, like a general more than a scientist leading scientific research.
After listening to Qi Jinping's intentions, Zhang Jun was also very interested, and there were foreign businessmen who came to buy domestic satellites, which he could only fantasize about before, so he said: "At present, the structural design of our Dongfanghong No. 2 satellite has been completed. If the state increases investment, I believe that the design will be completed within a year! ”
Qi Jinping hesitated and said, "How long will it take to assemble and manufacture?" If you sign an agreement with a customer, you have to have a deadline! If I do my best to design and manufacture, can Vice Minister Zhang give me a deadline for completion? ”
Zhang Jun nodded and hesitated and said: "If foreign businessmen really order our satellites, it will have a great effect on our country's aerospace industry!" We also know that hurry up, the year I am talking about is the most conservative situation, please understand the difficulties of our front-line scientific research workers! ”
Qi Jinping nodded and said, "I know that any scientific progress is not easy. Thank you comrades for the difficulties in the development of scientific research in our country! ”
Zhang Jun nodded with a smile and led Qi Jinping to visit the Satellite Research Institute. Dongfanghong No. 2 satellite can be said to have completed the overall idea, just look at how to improve or upgrade according to the country's existing level in the actual manufacturing in the future, China's manufacturing level is backward, often scientific researchers have to wait for the manufacturing department to catch up with the technological level, most of the time to help the manufacturing department to study and improve the process technology, which greatly degrades the speed of scientific research and increases the difficulty of scientific research, and scientific research personnel have to continuously improve the design.
"We have now begun to pre-study Dongfanghong No. 2 A, this satellite also uses the Dongfanghong No. 2 platform, in the power subsystem to maintain the same solar cell distribution area under the condition of tapping potential, after improvement will be greater than the Dongfanghong No. 2 satellite, the number of transponders of this satellite will be increased to 4, the output power of each power amplifier will be increased to 10W, the effective omnidirectional radiation power is greater, greatly increasing the area covered by land!" Zhang Jun introduced to Qi Jinping the Satellite Research Institute's Dongfanghong-2 satellite improvement plan.
Qi Jinping asked Zhang Jun, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhang Junle said: "When you introduce to foreign businessmen, you may wish to mention our No. 2A project, if foreign businessmen are interested in our Dongfanghong No. 2A satellite, if foreign businessmen order this satellite, it will greatly speed up China's satellite technology level!" ”
Qi Jinping asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that the No. 2A satellite is still in pre-research?" ”
Zhang Jun shook his head and said with a sigh: "It would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that China can do whatever it wants, but if the country attaches importance to the No. 2A project, the scientific research forces of various departments will definitely be developed in a short period of time, and I will definitely be able to do it in a year or two years!" ”
Looking at Vice Minister Zhang Jun's firm eyes, Qi Jinping nodded and said, "Okay, Vice Minister Zhang!" I will definitely mention the No. 2A project to foreign businessmen, and try my best to promote foreign businessmen to buy our satellites! ”
He wrote it down in the small book, and at the same time secretly thought that he had negotiated with Lin Qiangsheng this time, and it was very important that he could promote the development of the domestic aerospace industry, and he must work hard to complete this task! This is not only for the development of the country's aerospace industry, but also an important honor in my life! Thinking of this, Qi Jinping raised this contact with Lin Qiangsheng to a new height.
The next day, Qi Jinping took an early flight with the secretaries and officials of the other two offices, and the passenger plane landed in Bincheng at nearly nine o'clock.
Lin Qiangsheng and Li Gang, general manager of Bincheng Automobile Company, and other leaders, as well as their father Lin Xiangrong, greeted them at the airport.
After Qi Jinping got off the plane, he walked to the side of the airport runway and shook hands with Li Gang and the others, and finally shook hands with Lin Qiangsheng and joked: "Why do I see you on the side of the airport runway every time!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and pointed at Li Gang and the others and said, "Aren't they also there!" ”
"Ugh!" Everyone was stunned and then smiled awkwardly, these two people didn't know what relationship was so familiar, and the chief's secretary actually joked with Lin Qiangsheng. They all looked at Lin Xiangrong, only to see that Lin Xiangrong was also confused, and everyone couldn't guess what the reason was.
Ben Thanh Airport was originally a military airport, and this airport only had a small building to receive passengers who took flights, and it only had the function of sending off passengers, but not the function of reception. Therefore, passengers from other places have to get off the plane and walk out of the airport directly from the runway.
"The civil aviation airport in Bincheng is under construction, and it is estimated that it will be completed in two more years!" Hearing Qi Jinping joking with himself, Lin Qiangsheng himself followed the sentence and didn't expect everyone to be embarrassed, so he immediately explained.
Qi Jinping was stunned for a moment, and then said with a meaningful smile: "Okay, it is estimated that when you go to BJ in two years, there will be a new civil airport available in this city!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng didn't hear Qi Jinping's hint, and said to him with a smile: "Let's go, I guess the leaders of the automobile company don't know your intentions yet, do you announce it to them now or wait?" ”
Li Gang and others were also very curious when they heard Lin Qiangsheng's words, what did this comrade from the General Office of the State Council do when he came to Bincheng, and he had to inform the company's leadership that there were serious matters! (To be continued......)
