[Chapter 517: Bigelow Personally Sells Products]
After Ding Yang left the CMSX space base, he met with Robert in the VIP lounge of the company's headquarters. Bigelow meets. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He didn't drag his feet in the slightest, he didn't even say hello when he met, and said straight to the point: "That's right, sir." Our boss is busy with business, and I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you as scheduled. ”
"What? So when is Mr. Ren available? The 82-year-old old Bigelow was not calm when he heard Ding Yang's answer, and he couldn't help but ask anxiously.
Although he is not young, thanks to the improvement of his body by the "replication equipment" produced by Matrix Technology, Bigelow is still old and strong, and his life is long. This time, he did not hesitate to come here across the ocean in order to facilitate a cooperation that would be more than the company's entire history if he could successfully take on an order from CMSX.
That's a super space station of over 5,000 tons! Like thousands of tons of glittering gold!
"The last time our boss had free time was on a weekend a month and a half later, during a private break." Ding Yang replied.
"What?" When old Bigelow heard that it would take forty or fifty days, his heart was half cold. He really wanted to scold the other party for not being polite, no one was scheduled to meet at the time, I came to talk to you about cooperation with you, a young man, you actually let me pigeon, it was really unbearable, but I couldn't bear it anymore, I couldn't help it, it meant that a sky-high dream cooperation was in vain, and I had to endure it for the dollar.
Facts have once again proved that forbearance pays off in the end.
Ding Yang added: "But our boss said that if my husband is willing to move to the CMSX headquarters, we can meet immediately, and our boss is at the CMSX headquarters at the moment." ”
"Absolutely! Of course! Old Bigelow said happily without the slightest hesitation.
Half an hour later, Ding Yang took Robert. Bigelow took Ren Hong's car to the command center of the space base launch tower, and Bigelow, who had observed the layout of the CMSX space base for the first time, looked around curiously, and the huge launch tower immediately attracted his attention, and he found that the car was driving in the direction of the launch tower at this moment.
After a while, the majestic posture of "Arc Eagle No. 1" came into the eyes of the old Bigelow, and the nose was aimed at the curved concave semi-parabolic form of the launch tower, although the old Bigelow was born as a hotel owner, but he has been engaged in the aerospace field for many years, and he is not ignorant, when he saw this scene, the mysterious space shuttle was launched from that curved orbit?
Don't need to resort to a rocket booster?
"Uh, Mr. Ding, I take the liberty of asking what is ......going on here," Bigelow couldn't help but ask, guessing ten thousand times is not as good as a word from someone in the know.
Ding Yang, who was in the driver's seat, replied briefly: "That's the 'Arc Eagle No. 1' air and space transport plane, and the first air and space test flight is about to be carried out, and our boss has a conflict with your appointment because of this matter." ”
The "Arc Eagle No. 1" that is about to be tested is not a first-class secret, and since the boss wants to bring him to the scene, it is enough to explain the problem, and Ding Yang did not hide anything.
"Could it be that this space shuttle can be lifted off without the help of rocket booster fuel? And through the orbiter on that large building? Bigelow asked again when he got the answer.
"It should be, but I'm not a professional, and I don't know the specifics, the test flight time will start soon, and it should be no surprise that Mr. should be able to witness this test flight with his own eyes." Ding Yang replied.
Bigelow looked happy: "I didn't expect to receive such an unexpected surprise, it's a great honor!" I sincerely wish this test flight mission a complete success! ”
Soon after arriving at the CMSX space base, Ding Yang took Robert with him. Bigelow came to the control center, Ren Hong saw Ding Yang appear here with a foreigner, and immediately said a few words to the person in charge of the project and went in the direction of Bigelow.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Ren!"
"Fortunately, Mr. Robert."
After the two met, they shook hands politely and said a few words, the age gap between the two sides is unusually large, and the old Bigelow, born in 1945, is 82 years old, which is three times that of Ren Hong. But even so, he has enough respect for the young man in front of him, regardless of seniority, especially for Westerners, who will always put your ability and status first on the "scale" and then everything else.
As for the young Ren Hong, he only showed the polite treatment he deserved, and did not mix with unnecessary emotional factors.
"I took the liberty to disturb this time, I hope Mr. Ren Duoduo Haihan." Old Bigelow laughed.
"It's okay, it's my fault, no, it's my assistant's pot, he arranged the time. However, considering that he has been following me for so long and his excellent ability, I decided not to fire him. Ren Honglang laughed, and his humorous words made the atmosphere lively. As for Ding Yang beside him, his face twitched slightly unconsciously, and he said in his heart that you were going to watch the test flight temporarily and insistently, and in the end, this pot was still thrown on the assistant.
"Mr. Robert, this way, please!" Ren Hong smiled, and the two came to an observation room, with transparent glass in front of them, and they could see the entire empty runway and launch tower at a glance.
"I heard that your company is about to conduct a test flight of the space shuttle?" Bigelow stared at the air transport plane and a group of staff members on the runway.
"Not bad!" Ren Hong nodded, and then asked: "Mr. Robert, while the test flight has not yet started, let's talk about business first, what do you want to come to meet with me this time?" ”
When it came to business, Bigelow suddenly became concerned, and his eyes were withdrawn from the window and then fell on Ren Hong, saying: "Since your company's CMSX announced its ambitious space exploration plan, including the 'Tiangong Orbital Interstellar Port' mentioned in your 'Twin Plan' announced not long ago, people think that Bigelow Aerospace and your CMSX company can carry out an in-depth cooperation on this project. ”
"I want to hear about it!" Ren Hong said unhurriedly, he had already had a general understanding of Bigelow Aerospace in advance, and he also guessed the purpose of the other party's visit this time, not surprisingly, this time the old Bigelow personally went into battle, and he should have come to sell his "inflatable space capsule" to CMSX.
As expected, Bigelow quickly replied: "Your company's ambition to build the largest interstellar space station in human history, with a volume of more than 5,000 kilotons, is an exciting number, and at the same time, it should be an unimaginable cost investment. However, the 'beam inflatable capsule' produced by Bigelow Aerospace, which was founded by the contemptible people, can greatly reduce the cost investment for the 'Tiangong', and some supply capsules or experimental capsules can completely replace the conventional space capsules with inflatable capsules, and the cost of the 'beam inflatable capsule' is less than 20 million US dollars......
