Chapter 286 [Big Pitch High-tech Technology? Successfully caught Aramco's attention]
Saturday, September 26.
Qunxing Capital issued an announcement this morning, announcing the establishment of the country's first private commercial aerospace company, Kyushu Blue Arrow.
The core business of Kyushu Blue Arrow is positioned as the R&D and application of technology for rocket recycling, as well as the R&D and application of manned transport spacecraft.
According to the announcement, Qunxing Capital invested 2 billion yuan in the first phase of Kyushu Blue Arrow.
As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation in both the investment community and the technology community.
People in the investment circle say that they can't understand the operation of Qunxing Capital, is there so much money that they have nowhere to spend it?
But then again, there have been few people in the industry who can understand the layout of Qunxing Capital, and the previous "coin" behavior in the film and television network copyright cannot be understood, and the most depressing thing is that Qunxing Capital is making money.
Not only can't people in the investment circle understand it, but they also don't understand Huayu within Qunxing Capital, but not understanding the big boss's decision-making does not prevent him from implementing it in place.
The tech community was shocked, especially those in the aerospace field, who thought it was fake news at first.
For this reason, even the leadership of the space agency was alarmed.
After confirming that the news was true, I was also surprised that all of a sudden private capital entered this field in a big way, knowing that there was no precedent before this.
The key is that the intensity is huge, and it will be 20 billion to suppress the shock.
It is still the scale of the first phase of investment, that is, there are second, third, and fourth phases behind......
Follow-up investment is the key.
After all, this involves cutting-edge industries, and the aerospace industry is often highly related to national defense.
In the current era, relatively speaking, there has not been a vigorous promotion of civil-military integration, and there has never been a private attempt to enter this field before, but there is no explicit prohibition on private space business.
Therefore, as soon as the Kyushu Blue Arrow came out, the relevant parties began to discuss.
Netizens who pay attention to the aerospace field are very supportive, because the domestic investment in the aerospace field is too small, in fact, the mainstream voices, as long as they invest in the field of scientific research, are basically supportive.
……
"What do you think of the Kyushu Blue Arrow?" Today is the weekend, and the leaders in charge of the relevant aerospace departments held a meeting to discuss the large-scale entry of private capital into the aerospace field.
At this time, the leader sitting next to the leader said in an orderly manner: "On December 23 last year, a space company called SpaceX in the United States announced that it had won a contract for commercial supply services worth $1.6 billion from NASA to ensure the replenishment of the International Space Station after the space shuttle was decommissioned next year. Some say it's a sign of the advent of the era of private spaceflight. ”
After a pause, he continued: "The rise of Americans' private rocket companies is because the United States has been bullied by the high price monopoly of the United Launch Alliance of Loma and Boeing, and has turned to cultivating companies such as Blue Origin and SpaceX. ”
The leader at the meeting turned to look at the others present and said: "I think that the emergence of a rocket company like SpaceX is accelerating the occupation of US satellites in low-altitude orbits, and in the future, hundreds or thousands of satellites will be staring at you in the sky over our country, whether it is taking pictures, detecting, or listening." At the national level, space resources are on a first-come, first-served basis, and at present, a few central enterprises such as aerospace science and industry, aviation science and technology, etc., which rely on the national team, are obviously unable to keep up with the Americans. ”
At the end, the participating leader summed up and added: "The emergence of the commercial rocket industry and behind it, in the final analysis, is a contest of great power strategies. ”
Another leader at the meeting said very approvingly: "Yes, the old astronauts are generally looking forward to the entry of powerful private enterprises to bring new positive changes to the rocket industry, and there are a large number of launch needs in the world, but the national team can not meet them, foreign commercial aerospace is developing rapidly, we are still working in the old model, how to face the global competition of commercial aerospace?" That's a problem. ”
After a while, another participant said with a smile: "I have seen the announcement of the release of Kyushu Blue Arrow by Qunxing Company, and the way they described to make rocket products in a rapid iterative way, and to use mature manufacturing capabilities to assemble rockets is very interesting, and to reduce the cost of rockets by assembly and reuse, and the recycling and reuse of rockets is the core goal of Kyushu Blue Arrow." ”
At this time, another participant said: "If the opening of technology for civilian use is opened, and the talents in the system begin to flow to private rocket companies, how can the engineers and technicians who come out of the system develop the technology in private enterprises avoid intellectual property disputes?" That's a problem, too. ”
As time went on, the participants were also constantly discussing and exchanging views.
At the end, the leader who presided over the seminar smiled: "It seems that you still support more as a whole, and the new global competition situation in commercial aerospace is a new challenge that has to be faced. ”
The leaders obviously have a positive attitude towards the entry of private capital into the aerospace field, after all, this is also equivalent to indirectly increasing the scale of the country's investment in the aerospace field, and this kind of difficult high-tech field is often a place where private capital is not interested.
Now that a star capital has suddenly appeared, and it has come up to make it so big, and he is not afraid of losing his money, which makes the relevant leaders quite surprised.
And another important factor is that the commercial aerospace industry is also engaged in the United States, Blue Origin was established in 2000, and SpaceX was established in 2002.
The establishment of China's first private aerospace company was announced yesterday, which can be said to have started nearly a decade late.
……
Fang Hong didn't know that the leaders of relevant departments had paid attention to the matter of Kyushu Blue Arrow, and temporarily held a seminar.
However, the current attitude of the relevant leaders towards the establishment of the Kyushu Blue Arrow is that they have no attitude.
Not having an attitude is an attitude in itself.
Anyway, there is no saying that it will not be allowed, and there is no explicit law that stipulates that private enterprises cannot enter the aerospace field.
But it is precisely because there is no clear document guidance that it is inconvenient for the relevant leaders to give an attitude at present, which depends on the Kyushu Blue Arrow or Fang Hong's understanding and decisiveness.
Obviously, Fang Hong has no problem with his understanding and decisiveness.
The most important thing is that he knows that the country will open up in the future, and the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will also open the door for the civilian use of military technology, and the relevant guidance documents will come out around 2016.
According to the historical trajectory, if nothing else, around May 2016, the relevant national authorities will issue the "Guidance Document on the Implementation of Major Engineering Packages for the Upgrading and Transformation of the Manufacturing Industry", which lists the "commercial aerospace product development project" as a key project, including the development and production line of commercial remote sensing satellites, communication satellites and launch vehicles.
At the end of December 2016, the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense issued the "2016 Special Action Plan for Civil-Military Integration of the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense", which includes: promoting the transformation of military technology into the civilian field, and demonstrating and supporting a number of military technology industrialization projects...... Actively promote the establishment of a national defense science, technology and industry military-civilian integration industry investment fund.
These two documents, Fang Hong is sure that they will inevitably come out at that time, because this is the general trend.
Because of this, let's just do it now, and if you really wait for the documents to come down, the daylilies will be cold.
Fang Hong is actually not worried that it will be in vain at all, his plan for Kyushu Blue Arrow is to introduce the two national team aerospace groups as soon as possible, that is, to let the aerospace giants of these two national teams become shareholders of Kyushu Blue Arrow.
Let's talk about it first, and by the time the document comes down, Kyushu Blue Arrow has accumulated enough technical reserves.
Really wait until the documents come down to do it, not to mention that the daylily is cold, and it will be more difficult to catch up with foreigners.
It is worth mentioning that with the public announcement of the establishment of Kyushu Blue Arrow, Qunxing Capital has finally entered the sight of some special departments of "Americana", the reason is that Lao Mei found that Qunxing Capital is actually carrying a large amount of capital into the cutting-edge high-tech field.
It's not like playing with financial capital operation, but really taking real money to support high-tech, honestly stepping on sewing machines to make clothing, engaging in OEM, high-tech is what you can play? It's not going to be okay to play.,If you're playing.,Then I'm still playing a der?
These operations of Qunxing Capital made Lao Mei feel a little uncomfortable, and at the same time, the attention index of Qunxing Capital gradually increased.
