Chapter 163: Super Bull SpaceX! (5k)
On the same day, the leaders above conducted many research and discussions on the issue of Wujiang Group's involvement in the aerospace industry.
"It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat that can catch mice!"
"If Wujiang Group can do China's aerospace industry, then let them do it."
"Foreign countries can allow private enterprises to enter the aerospace market, is it that we have no room for people in China?"
"In my opinion, we need not only to allow Wujiang to enter the aerospace industry, but also to support it in terms of technology, talent and policy, so that Wujiang Group can become China's Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics ......."
At this time, the big leader sitting in the first seat spoke in a firm tone and made a decision.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but express their support.
Everyone also knows that the country only invests 2 billion yuan in the aerospace industry every year, which is a drop in the bucket for the aerospace field.
However, Wujiang Group has strong financial resources and is fully capable of pushing China's aerospace industry to a peak.
Just like Wujiang has made outstanding contributions in the field of semiconductors in China.
……
Zhao Ye never expected that he would be notified the next day that the state approved Wujiang Group to enter the Chinese aerospace market.
Zhao Ye made a quick decision and established Rangwujiang Group to establish SpaceX Space Exploration Technology Company.
Although the company is just an empty shell, it will soon welcome some of the world's most outstanding aerospace talent.
In his previous life, SpaceX was mainly engaged in research in three directions: rockets, satellites and aviation power.
To be honest, at this time, there is not much technological gap between China and foreign countries in many fields.
Moreover, especially at this time, the collapse of the Soviet Union is imminent, and if China can bring in a large number of Soviet talents, it will definitely narrow the gap with the United States and other Western countries.
The Soviet Union is a world leader in aerospace, engines, materials, precision machining, chips, military industry, and other fields.
There is no doubt that this is the best moment for China to achieve corner overtaking in the aerospace field!
In the previous life, China only cared about grabbing high-end talents in the military industry, and the main reason was also because China itself was relatively backward and could provide relatively low treatment, making it difficult to attract talents. The outstanding talents who have been painstakingly recruited will also be given priority to be transported to military research institutes to improve the strength of the military industry.
In 1991, China also set up the "Friendship Award" to reward foreign friends who have made outstanding contributions to China.
It's a pity that China at that time poached too few Soviet talents.
The biggest beneficiaries of the collapse of the Soviet Union were Japan and the United States, and their methods of poaching people were very simple and rude, and they only talked about the word money in everything, and smashed it on the heads of Soviet experts with money, and received many experts who favored economic interests.
During this period, countries represented by South Korea and Singapore also began to extend olive branches to Soviet experts and introduced a lot of talent.
Fortunately, Zhao Ye is here.
Zhao Ye said, no one knows how to poach people better than me!
A lot of money will be smashed into those experts, one by one, dizzy, Wujiang will provide them with a high salary comparable to that of European experts, a luxury apartment of one or two hundred square meters, arrange other people's jobs and children's education, and so on......
Moreover, the team sent by Zhao Ye to dig people will also make friends with Soviet experts, and then invite them to work in China as friends.
What Soviet specialist can stand such a test?
Even, for the top Soviet talents, Wujiang Group can directly send a luxury villa!
Right now, all that's left is luxury apartments and villas that haven't been built.
But it doesn't take much effort, Wanjiang Real Estate Company, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, is already a real estate company that has mastered advanced manufacturing technology.
Borderless Group can build high-end apartments and villas on a large scale at any time.
Moreover, most of the apartments can also be rewarded for employees who have made a significant contribution to Borderless.
In addition, Wujiang can also build a number of slightly more ordinary apartments and provide them with their employees at a low price.
The benefits of the employees of Wujiang Group are directly full, so that they can work in the company with peace of mind.
……
At this time, there was a severe shortage of food and other consumer goods in the Soviet Union, there were only inferior goods on the market, people had to take turns to obtain a small number of goods, inflation was unbearable, and only the privileged class had the opportunity to obtain good things, which caused a lot of internal and external contradictions.
After Zhao Ye established SpaceX Space Exploration Technology Company, he was in urgent need of talents, so he had to poach people from now on.
I think there will be some Soviet experts who value money and are willing to work at SpaceX.
And at this time, there is actually another layer of intention to dig up some Soviets to come to China. While they were living in China and living in abundance, their friends were starving in the Soviet Union.
Will they persuade their friends to come to China for development?
As the saying goes, "things gather people by like", most of the friends of experts are also experts in certain fields.
At that time, it may be much easier for the Borderless Group to poach people.
……
Gabriel Wilcotez was a well-known rocket expert in the Soviet Union, but with the decline of the Soviet economy, many of the Soviet space programs have stalled.
Gabriel Wilcotez, a rocket expert, seems to have no use, and no one cares if he goes to work or not. Nowadays, the whole Soviet Union is in chaos, there is a shortage of supplies, the ruble is devalued, and everyone is queuing up every day to buy a little food.
Gabriel Wilcotez often sighed, was very dissatisfied with the current state of affairs, and could not help but envy the affluent life of Americans.
Gabriel Wilcotez has four children to raise, and life is very difficult. Recently, if it weren't for the help of a good friend from China, he wouldn't know how to persevere.
"Zhou, you're here again, and you've brought bread and meat. Oh God, I really can't accept your gift for no reason anymore! Gabriel Wilcotez politely declined.
Zhou Zhi smiled slightly, ignoring Gabriel Wilcotez's words, walked straight to the house, and then put the bread and meat on the old wooden table in the other party's house.
"Will Cortez, we're friends, aren't we? Friends should help each other! ”
"Yes, we are friends...... However, you have helped me many times and brought us a lot of food, which makes me ashamed......"
"Gabriel Wilcotez, don't be presumptuous, you are a well-known rocket expert in the Soviet Union, it is my honor to be friends with you, what is the food? If you want to blame this society, blame the government, it is they who have not governed the country well, so it has caused the current situation! ”
"Yes, Zhou, you're right! But what can be done now? Alas, I don't know how long such days will last, it's just terrible!! Gabriel Wilcotez complained.
Zhou Zhi said: "Will Cortes, if you continue to stay here, the situation will only get worse, and I am afraid there will be a bigger crisis, otherwise, your family will immigrate to China, I can help you!" ”
"Immigrating to China?" Gabriel Wilcotez was slightly stunned and wondered, "China is still a poor and backward country, what development prospects can I have if I go to China?" ”
Zhou Zhi said: "Wilcotez, China is not as poor and backward as you think. Although China is not as developed as the United States, its economic development rate is the fastest in the world, and it is self-sufficient in food and does not lack material resources. People live a stable life, full of vigor and hope. ”
After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, China still has a powerful Fortune 500 company like Wujiang Group, if you are willing to go to China, then I can introduce you to work at SpaceX Space Exploration Technology Company, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, which is developing rockets and urgently needs rocket experts like you!"
As far as I know, a well-known Soviet rocket expert like you, SpaceX can give you a very high salary, an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, and a villa for you to live in. In addition, you can arrange for your family to immigrate to China with you, and Borderless Group will find an easy job for your wife and arrange education for your children.
In short, it is to let you work with peace of mind and no worries after you arrive in China. ”
When Gabriel Wilcotez heard this, he was immediately moved.
The treatment that Borderless Group can provide is really good, he looked at his wife and children, and his eyes showed deep love.
"I can't let Alyssa and the children suffer with me anymore!"
Gabriel Wilcotez's eyes were firm, and he turned his head to Zhou Zhi and said, "Zhou, thank you for your help, I am willing to go to China and join SpaceX!! ”
"Congratulations, Wilcotez, this is definitely a wise decision!" Zhou Zhi was overjoyed.
Gabriel Wilcotez nodded with a smile: "Haha, I think so!" ”
……
Jimmy Bradley was a well-known Soviet communications satellite expert, and he was a colleague of Gabriel Wilcotez, working at the Soviet Aerospace Agency.
Zhou Zhi was not only a friend of Gabriel Wilcotez, but also a friend of Jimmy Bradley......
After Zhou Zhi got Gabriel Wilcotez, he went to Jimmy Bradley.
Jimmy Bradley's situation is the same as Gabriel Wilcotez, Zhou Zhi didn't bother to say anything, and he also made Jimmy Bradley through, and the other party also decided to work at SpaceX.
When digging people, smash them with money, although it is simple and crude, but the effect is the best.
At this time, because the Soviet Union had not yet collapsed, Zhao Ye did not dare to go too far.
Among the gods of technology, the Borderless Group has only dug Gabriel Wilcotez and Jimmy Bradley for the time being.
The second scientific researchers have dug a little more.
The Soviet engine is very advanced, but the engine is involved in the military industry and is more sensitive, so Zhao Ye did not let people dig people.
And aerospace talents, if they are poached, they will be poached, and even if the Soviet Union is angry, it will not make a big move.
Many high-ranking Soviet officials believe that since the Cold War, the United States has deliberately hyped up the "space competition" and set off a Soviet-US space hegemony, with the aim of causing the Soviet Union to expend a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources and cause economic problems.
As a result, the economy of the USSR really went wrong, and it was serious.
Many Soviets felt that they had been fooled and called a complete halt to the stupid act of "space competition".
As a result, the status of the Soviet Union's astronauts plummeted.
Even if the Soviet authorities knew that rocket expert Gabriel Wilcotez, satellite expert Jimmy Bradley, as well as a large number of space scientists, had been poached by the Borderless Group, they would not blame the Borderless Group too much for this.
At present, the trade of the Borderless Group in the Soviet Union is very large, and a large amount of food and light industrial goods are provided by the Borderless Group in Moscow.
If the sanctions were unbounded, no one would have shipped food and light industrial goods in the future, and the situation in the USSR would have become even worse.
Therefore, as long as the Wujiang Group does not go too far, the Soviet Union will turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.
In fact, that's what the USSR did.
……
Gabriel Wilcotez, Jimmy Bradley and others came to China and went straight to Shanghai.
The Borderless Group spent money to buy two old bungalows from the Shanghai government and gave them to Gabriel Wilcotez and Jimmy Bradley.
Other Soviet experts and researchers lived in high-end apartments, which were also bought by the Borderless Group from the Shanghai government.
In a hurry, the Wujiang Group did not have time to build villas and apartments on its own, so it bought them from others first.
After Gabriel Wilcotez, Jimmy Bradley and others came to Shanghai and joined SpaceX, they felt that their Chinese colleagues were very enthusiastic and eager to learn, and often asked them for knowledge.
Gabriel Wilcotez and Jimmy Bradley also took them to develop rockets and communications satellites.
At this time, the domestic bigwigs couldn't help but be a little shocked, they didn't expect that Zhao Ye would actually poach the very famous rocket experts and satellite experts in the Soviet Union.
"The registered capital of SpaceX Space Exploration Technology Company is 2 billion yuan, which is worth the funds we have invested in the aerospace industry for a whole year. However, SpaceX is currently only working on rockets and communication satellites, unlike so many space projects that we are involved in, and the average amount of funding allocated to each project is pitiful......"
"Now, SpaceX has poached a lot of Soviet experts, especially such powerful figures as Gabriel Wilcotez and Jimmy Bradley, I am afraid that in the future, SpaceX's rockets and satellites will catch up with us!"
"yes, alas, we have so little money to get!"
At this time, a secretary hurriedly walked over from outside and said loudly: "Leader, Comrade Zhao Ye from Wujiang Group just called, saying that he was going to visit our space agency tomorrow!" ”
"Oh, did he say anything?"
"Nope."
"Well, I see, you can go back to work."
"Okay, leader."
Li Xiao, director of the Space Administration, pondered, what did Zhao Ye do when he came to our Space Bureau?
The next morning.
Zhao Ye and his entourage came to the Space Bureau.
"Director Li, hello, I'm Zhao Ye."
"Boss Zhao, hello, it's better to see than to hear, really a talent, young and promising! Come, please take a seat, I don't know what happened to Boss Zhao's visit today? ”
Zhao Ye did not answer immediately, but asked the secretary Liu Yinyin to take out a document and hand it to him.
Director Li Xiao took the information with a little doubt, only to see that the cover of the information said "Beidou Satellite Navigation System".
"Director Li, this is the Beidou satellite navigation system developed by SpaceX, and we plan to build a global positioning system for the country to achieve positioning and navigation of moving targets, whether it is military or civilian, the system has to play a huge role......"
"In order to build the Beidou satellite navigation system, we can take several steps......"
If SpaceX wants to rise, it must cooperate deeply with China and win orders from the country.
The Beidou satellite navigation system is the bait thrown by Zhao Ye, and it is impossible for the country not to eat it, which gives SpaceX the opportunity to develop and grow.
The country wants to build the Beidou satellite navigation system, and the speed is obviously a bit slow with its own development alone, but if it can cooperate with SpaceX, then the progress of the project will definitely be a rapid progress.
"Zhao Ye, your Beidou satellite navigation system is very exciting, and the country will definitely vigorously promote this project. You say, what is your purpose? ”
Zhao Ye was still not in a hurry to answer, and said slowly: "If you want to build a Beidou satellite navigation system, the main cost lies in two aspects, one is the satellite itself, and the other is the rocket. The cost of satellites is difficult to save, so you can only work on rockets. ”
"If the rocket can carry more satellites when it is launched, then the number of rocket launches will be reduced, and the cost will be reduced."
"If we can invent rocket recovery technology, that is, after the rocket is launched, it can be recycled, then the cost will be reduced."
Li Xiao's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard the rocket recovery technology, this idea is good, but ...... It seems to be very difficult to achieve.
Zhao Ye proposed rocket recovery technology at this time, and the main purpose was to cooperate with the country to jointly develop the Long March series of rockets.
If SpaceX is allowed to go it alone, it is not known that it will be able to develop rocket recovery technology in the year of the monkey.
The country's talent pool is not comparable to that of a small SpaceX.
The current situation is that the country has no money to invest in the aerospace industry, but Wujiang Group has money, so this is just an opportunity for SpaceX to get involved in the Long March series of rockets and cooperate with the country to establish the Long March Rocket Co., Ltd.
In this way, the majority shareholder of Long March Rocket Co., Ltd. is the state, and it is easier to receive orders for satellite launches from the state......
