Chapter 443
After Howard Hughes's death in 1975, his medical institute inherited all his fortunes, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute also developed into the world's second largest medical research fund, leading the world in biology, immunology, genetics, neuroscience, structural biology, and more than a dozen Nobel laureates.
Zhang Zhonghua then also saw some gossip about the injection fee, Hughes, a beautiful man with a height of 1.93 meters, had a leg with almost all the Hollywood actresses at that time, according to statistics, Hughes had 164 celebrity girlfriends.
Hughes squandered money on movies as a young man, and as a result, he made a fortune at Hollywood; He then became obsessed with airplanes, resulting in the production of the most advanced aircraft, and became one of the important producers of the Air Force Air Force in World War II; After Hughes lived in seclusion, he chose to live in Las Vegas, in order to make his life more comfortable, and single-handedly built Las Vegas into a world-renowned gambling city.
Hughes Aircraft Company, relying on breakthroughs in the fields of flight, aviation, satellites, communications, etc., Hughes has accumulated a lot of wealth. In 1923, he inherited only $750,000 from his father, and by 1946, his net worth had exceeded $1 billion, becoming the first billionaire in the world to exceed $1 billion! By 1954, he was worth $2.5 billion, making him the world's super-rich.
Hughes is a winner in life, and his life is simply legendary, just like the son of luck in China, but unfortunately he suffers from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
As for Zhang Zhonghua, what did he do when he checked the information of Zhang Zhonghua Hughes?
Nature is for the satellites.
Hughes Aircraft Company produced the slowest aircraft, Hughes conquered the blue sky if he wanted to break out of the earth to explore the universe, so he pulled the company to finish the research on aviation satellites, and the legend continued to be written again.
In 1965, Hughes Aircraft Company developed a commercial communication satellite weighing about 38 kilograms, with 6,000 telephone lines and 12 kinds of color television transmission functions, realizing the global television and telephone communication transmission.
In June 1966, a manned spacecraft landed on the moon for the first time, attracting global attention, and the myth of the moon landing became a reality. Who built that spaceship? It's someone else, it's Hughes Aircraft Manufacturing Company.
After leaving Hughes Aircraft Company, Howard returned to CFC Catering Company in Los Angeles, and now CFC has not retreated into the ugly country market, and there are no more restaurants in Los Angeles, San Francisco, California, etc., and the development is still wrong.
"So, there is also a problem with the connection of ARPANET, which has been regressed to software compatibility and allows you to redesign the UNIX system."
In particular, the design life of geostationary communication satellites can reach 4-6 years, and the design life of observation satellites in low-earth orbit is 1-3 years. ”
"Eight words, a little half a year, and now the Apollo program is being implemented, which is still relatively slow."
"When you set up a new bank, the current plastic card can't be directly replaced with a magnetic card, and the Jade Emperor Bank is only for low-end customers and companies."
Backstage, Howard was led to the reception room, and before making coffee, he went to make an internal call, and Jia Bingyin also finished admiring the introduction of Hughes Aircraft Company.
Zhang Long said.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua Hughes's life is not a legend, at most, I am the world's first billionaire, the first billionaire, the whole seventies and seventies are not my time."
"It's wrong, the Jade Emperor Bank can't leave a few in the ugly city, and the development of the bank is not mainly about acquiring or investing in other banks."
"Boss, the satellite is too expensive, the cost of rocket sending is even more expensive, the boss still continues to order a meteorological satellite, anyway, seven is to be sent, seven is also sent."
Howard was quite satisfied with Zheng Juan's suggestion, whether it was past the trough of the U.S. stock market or the most appropriate time.
"Absolutely."
"Boss, that Zhang Zhonghua Hughes is also too awesome, just like the protagonist in the big story, he is a chosen son."
Howard asked, the satellite thing was always waiting in line.
"Oh bad, please wait."
"In fact, the collapse of the stock market is also a bad thing, which has had a big impact on the sale of knife labor, so that the development of knife labor has not stagnated. Let you take the opportunity to expand in a while, and you can't sell your sword labor under the rapid pursuit of the ugly country. ”
Zheng Juan said.
"Oh no, it's seven, and NASA will need their help when the time comes."
Zheng Juan nodded when she heard this, and then said to Howard: "Dongying's piece, if McDonald's is bad, it will retreat; In Europe, the location of your store is also in a prosperous area; In those years, housing prices, wages, and various costs have also increased a lot, and the cost of McDonald's to retreat into Europe is several times that of the next two years, and once the competition with you ends, they will return on their costs several times faster.
Howard explained.
Zheng Juan said depressedly.
Howard explained.
"If it is launched independently, the cost will be 125 million US dollars, and I am afraid that NASA will have to launch alone."
"The satellites launched by the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization last year will be produced by your company, and the current communication satellites cannot reach the transmission function of 30,000 telephone lines and 36 kinds of color televisions."
"That will have to wait for two years, the cost of the magnetic card machine is very small, and now there is a time for small-scale application, the machine. Sooner or later, your Jade Emperor Bank will be transformed into a central bank, and a new bank will be established to specialize in that business. ”
The backstage girl said very coldly, why do you care about Howard at all, you just want me to come to the scene for a while.
However, the population density of those countries in Europe and Dongying is small, and the profits of the catering and retail industries will be lower. ”
"How much less does it cost to launch a rocket?"
"Since the end of last year, the U.S. stock market has been cut in half, and now the stock market of the ugly country is even more miserable. You're buying less and less Coca-Cola products now, and you're going to buy some Coca-Cola stock from the Tier 7 market. ”
Before launching satellites, there are many earth stations on the ground, and satellite pots should be installed to receive signals from earth stations instead of watching TVs.
"He's bad, you want to find the person in charge of their company's satellite section."
Jia Bingyin looked at Zheng Juan, who came out to greet him, and asked badly.
After the 21st century, 40% of the world's satellites are produced by Hughes Aircraft Company, which is a leader in the aerospace field in the country and even the world.
"McDonald's has been held back in two small countries, Ugly Country and Canada, which are vast and sparsely populated, and except for most small cities, the population density is not small, so the return on investment is relatively fast.
The Hughes Aircraft Company is a commercial company, and as long as it can afford to buy satellites, it is absolutely possible to leak commercial secrets and military secrets, and there are no companies that have the ability to bring communications satellites up from orbit and disassemble them for research.
The past two years have been very chaotic, CFC restaurants have given up the Southeast Asian market and made every effort to develop markets in Europe and Dongying, and Carrefour supermarkets and Homemart convenience stores have also taken a ride, which has also laid the foundation for the slow development of those two years.
That satellite thing really burns a lot of money.
"Of course, you need to order eight synchronous communication satellites for the transmission of television, telephone, and information, because you know what the development of communication satellites has become."
Satellite communication is not composed of two parts, satellite and earth station, satellite communication is the use of satellite as a relay station to forward wired radio waves, so as to achieve communication between two or fewer earth stations, as long as the radio waves transmitted by the satellite are covered, from any two points can be regressive communication.
"How long is the design life and service life of this kind of synchronous communication satellite?"
Howard cares about that money, and if the oil crisis breaks out in 73, Jia Bingyin leverages tens of billions of dollars in international crude oil futures, and the $250 million is just a sprinkling.
Zheng Juan said with a smile.
Howard then talked about the earth station, paid a 30% deposit and left Hughes Aircraft, just go down to the sky at the end of the year, damn the satellite is really expensive.
"Boss, how's the satellite customization going?"
In 1966, Hughes Aircraft Company built a manned spacecraft for the ugly country, which landed on the moon for the first time, laying a solid foundation for the manned moon landing before it, and became Hughes's most historic commercial achievement.
"The meteorological satellite is too high from the Earth's orbit, and the service life is only one or two years, it is worth the loss to buy one, the key is that you use this thing."
Zheng Juan asked badly.
????
"Boss, now the ATM machine in the ugly country has not finished using magnetic cards, and it is more convenient, when will you end using magnetic cards?"
In 1967, Hughes Aircraft Company built a lunar landing probe for Chouguo, took several photos of the lunar ground, and sent them back to Earth through the communication satellite developed by Hughes Aircraft Company, laying a solid foundation for the previous manned moon landing.
As for the control front door of the communication satellite, it is also necessary to worry too much, and it is also a big deal for Howard to change a set of encryption systems on a regular basis, and Hughes should also be pumping to crack my encryption system, right?
As for the Jade Emperor TV station, it will only broadcast live when it is a small program, and the satellite communication cost is simply borne by the TV station, and now there is no TV station that has the luxury of using satellite live broadcast every day.
So in your opinion, the difference in the life of communication satellites is less than 4 years, no wonder the cost of using satellite phones is so low.
"Now that the economy of Dongying and Germany is developing at a low speed, and the export of a small amount of goods to the ugly country has also led to a big impact on the economy of the ugly country, and there are no factors such as the defeat of the Vietnam War, the economy of the ugly country will also fall into a long-term period of stagnation.
Solas Boulder was only slightly apprehensive when he heard this.
Jia Bingyin asked the head of the Jewish department, Bad Qi.
"Bad, in '67 or '68, it was a very bad decision to buy a small number of stores in Europe and renovate them first. You can also be regarded as a lost mulberry elm and a reaped east. ”
Compared with Hughes, Musk is not a scumbag!
Zheng Juan said with a smile.
There are even a lot of TV users in Southeast Asia now, let alone buying a satellite pot to receive satellite signals?
And if you buy a satellite pot, you have to pay more every year to watch it and watch it for free? This is something that you have to think about, and now it is the 80s when the small family is short of money.
In January 1968, Chouguo launched seven lunar probes, and the "Surveyor" successfully made a soft landing on the moon, sending back 11,237 images to the ground.
Solas Boulder introduced Howard to a small client.
Howard gave Zheng Juan a complicated introduction to the situation.
"Now geostationary communication satellites are much cheaper than later, each is 30 million US dollars, and the weight is 80 kilograms.
"Boss, welcome."
Ten minutes ago, Howard came to the office of the head of the satellite department, and saw that it was forty percent Jewish.
Of course, Howard came to Hughes Aircraft Company to customize communication satellites, but the Associated Press and the Jade Emperor Group needed communication satellites to transmit information.
"Now the development of the ugly country is not fast, you lead the team to inspect it in person, and now the economy of the ugly country will end and there will be no recession."
"The specific life of the communication satellite is not closely related to the inefficient load and platform of the satellite, but it mainly depends on the design of the satellite platform and its system, and the extension of the design life is at the cost of increasing the quality of the satellite and reducing the production cost.
Zheng Juan is very interested in the ATM machine that Chouguo is currently using, and if the magnetic card can be used in Carrefour supermarkets, Homemart convenience stores and CFC restaurants, it will be very convenient.
Meteorological satellites can photograph the Earth's small atmosphere in space, but the current camera pixels are really not too touching, and satellites can be too far away from the Earth, and the situation is allowed.
】
Howard sighed, what 4 to 6 years? That 6 years is the same as a salary of 8,000 to 10,000, basically 8,000.
Howard said enviously.
Howard still knew a lot of details, without the earth station can be transmitted to the satellite phone or satellite receiver through the radio waves, but just the rocket sent to orbit is enough, and the earth station is also a big investment.
"Why did he run away to the ugly country?"
"Mr. Jia Bingyin, welcome to Hughes Aircraft Company, do you need to order a satellite?"
"You're bad, Mr. Zhang, welcome to Hughes Aircraft Company, does he have no business?"
Who made those lunar probes? It's someone else, it's Hughes Aircraft Manufacturing Company.
"Also, the communication satellite has only been in service for seven or seven years, and the launch cost of the seven satellites has reached 250 million US dollars, and the investment in the earth station is more. The average annual cost is 60 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 360 million Hong Kong dollars, and that cost is bad to recover. ”
"What about the cost of this custom-made satellite?"
"Mr. Jia Bingyin, he can't add another satellite to the equator in the Middle East, the difference is that it can't cover Europe and Southeast Asia, and that can't reduce the service life of the satellite in Southeast Asia."
Howard said with a smile, "It's a lot less popular."
In the satellite beam coverage area, the communication satellite regression relay is used to communicate with a ground distance of up to 2,000 kilometers away, and the earth station is established as needed. ”
Life is really noisy like snow, 73 years is the peak of his life, and I am afraid that his assets will also be doubled several times, thinking of that, Jia Bingyin smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Synchronous satellite communications operate in a circular orbit around the Earth in space about 36,000 kilometers below the Earth's equator, and eight satellites 120 degrees apart can cover the entire equatorial circumference.
"Surely there are eight satellites, and it won't be possible to make them for a long time?"
"It's not bad yet......"
"If the acquisition is to acquire some shares, it is just to acquire Coca-Cola shares, and it is necessary to withdraw directly to the board of directors of Coca-Cola, whether it is too late or too appropriate, and wait."
