Vol 3 Chapter 65: I have the right to dictate the "Monthly Pass for Guarantee"

[======Hand-made=====] Great Wall Company has only been in eleven years since its establishment. It is mainly engaged in space technology services and other aerospace products' foreign trade and foreign trade business.

In 1985, China announced that Long March rockets had entered the international market, and Great Wall Corporation was responsible for market development. Subsequently, the company obtained the exclusive right to operate international commercial satellite launch services and satellite international cooperation.

In 1987, the Great Wall Company and the French Matera Company signed a contract at the Paris Air Show to carry its microgravity experimental device on the returnable satellite launched by the Long March 2C carrier rocket. In August of the same year, China’s ninth retractable satellite launched by the Long March 2 C rocket successfully carried two microgravity experimental devices from the French company Matera and returned safely that month. This is the first time that Great Wall has signed a commercial carrying contract to provide on-board service to foreign users.

In November 1988, Great Wall and Hughes signed a contract to launch two Australian Auset-B satellites with the Long March 2 bundled rocket in Los Angeles, USA. It was also China’s first commercial satellite launch. service contract.

In April 1990, the Long March 3 carrier rocket accurately sent the "Asia One" satellite manufactured by Hughes into a geosynchronous orbit at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. Through satellite TV, China broadcasted the first successful launch of a foreign communications satellite using a self-developed carrier rocket to the world. This success marked China's entry into the international commercial satellite launch service market.

In July 1990, the first flight test of the Long March 2 bundled carrier rocket, developed after 18 months, was successful and the Pakistani satellite on board was put into a predetermined orbit. This is the first time that China has carried a foreign satellite. The Long March 2 bundled launch vehicle is the first large-thrust launch vehicle developed by China on the basis of mature technology to meet market demand. Its success has enabled the Long March rocket’s low-Earth orbit carrying capacity to reach nine points. Five tons.

Fan Wubing met Li Ruohai, the vice president of Great Wall Corporation, who hurried to Shanghai in the lobby downstairs of the hotel.

Li Ruohai is more than 40 years old, but he looks a little older, and his hair has already seen white, but he is still in good spirits, and his elegant atmosphere shows that he himself has come out of the expert team.

In fact. Many leaders in Changchen Company are themselves experts in the industry. They not only have high academic qualifications, but also have high quality and rich experience in rocket launch technology. Li Ruohai is naturally no exception at this time.

"Mr. Li. Hello." Fan Wubing smiled and shook Li Ruohai's hand and shook it twice.

"Are you? President Fan?" Li Ruohai was also surprised when he saw Fan Wubing, although Deputy Director Zhang had reminded him that it was the rich man who bought three satellites made by Hughes in one go. Young man, but he never thought that Fan Wuyao would be so young. No wonder Deputy Director Zhang had a weird expression when talking to him.

"Hehe, what the general manager Fan is not the general manager, just call me Xiao Fan." Fan Wubing himself had been swaying between black and white until he was reborn. It is also an illegal business of money laundering. After this rebirth, he didn’t need to do those frightening jobs anymore, but played with industry and capital. However, in his previous life, he was very kind to these high-tech industry experts who focused on the motherland. Respect, it hasn't changed until now, so I saw a senior talent like Li Ruohai. In any case, it is necessary to show a little respect.

But Li Ruohai was not someone who didn't know the importance. No matter how young the young man is, he is still a rich man who is able to buy three of the most advanced communication satellites to play with. For such a character, the entire Great Wall Company has to try its best to curry favor. How could he be negligent because of his young age?

Moreover, Li Ruohai also knows one thing. If it is an ordinary teenager who relies on the kindness of his grandfathers to have some wealth, it will be fine. But like Fan Wubing, he is obviously a super genius in the world, but he can’t take it. People are negligent. There are ten geniuses out of ten such people!

Therefore, Fan Wubing calmly accepted the respectful look from Li Ruohai. Although he was a little shy in his heart, he was better at having a thicker cheek, and he would not blush.

"Mr. Li, boss, should we find a place to talk?" Davis reminded him next to him.

Fan Wuyao took a look. Li Ruohai brought two entourages. They all looked sturdy. They seemed to be bodyguards, or they might be security guards from the Ministry of Security.

We must know that organizations like Great Wall Corporation are basically large military enterprises with a government in Beijing. The bosses often have complex identities and have a high degree of security. It is reasonable to send more bodyguards to guard them.

Li Ruohai did not speak. Although he had been to Shanghai many times, he came and went in a hurry, and did not notice these insignificant things. At this time, Davis proposed to find a place to talk. Where did he go for a while? Can you think of where to go?

Fan Wubing thought for a while, and suggested to Li Ruohai, "Why don't you go to the beach and sit for a while? There are many people in the hotel, so it's not suitable for in-depth discussions."

"No problem, then we'll go to the beach." Li Ruohai nodded and agreed.

When I walked out of the hotel, I saw Li Ruohai and the others in the car parked outside. They were two gray Lincolns.

Fan Wubing couldn't help but feel a little surprised. A cadre of Li Ruohai's level seems to be ineligible to ride in a car of this grade. The central government has specifically issued a document on the problem of riding a car. Lincoln cars are considered high-end cars and are restricting them. Listed.

Li Ruohai saw Fan Wuyi’s surprise, and explained, “We are specializing in foreign trade, dealing with foreigners all day long, so we still have to decorate the facade. This is a government-approved car, which is considered exceptional. used."

Oh, Fan Wubing nodded, and said so, he couldn't help but smile, "Hehe, it just happens that I don't have a car in Shanghai. I will take your nice car today."

"This is no problem." Li Ruohai laughed.

Fan Wubing, Davis, and a bodyguard, a total of three people, plus Li Ruohai, two cars still have vacant seats, so Davis and the bodyguard got into the car under the leadership of an entourage of Li Ruohai, and Li Ruohai and Fan Wubing got into another car, and the bodyguard also served as the driver.

Huh? Fan Wubing glanced at the front co-pilot's seat, and there was actually a girl sitting there. With long hair and a dark blue professional suit, I can't tell what his face looks like, but he has a good body.

"Let's go, look at the sea." Li Ruohai ordered the driver. Then the car moved.

Said it was the seaside, but in fact it was still a short distance away. But the smell of the sea breeze is really strong. There is a row of parasols here and there are business people underneath. There are a lot of people selling some barbecued seafood, beer, and other places.

Several people found a clean place and sat down. I asked for some barbecue and beer, just eat and talk here, and the atmosphere is not bad.

"Actually, you should get some white wine to eat seafood. But beer can barely make do." Fan Wuyao held a grilled crab. Said to Li Ruohai while eating.

Li Ruohai doesn't have any thoughts of eating. He is now full of satellite launching things. He just saw a customer and couldn't rush to sell his business all at once. He could only accompany Fan Wuyi to drink. Eat.

Although Fan Wubing was young in physical age, his mental age was more than forty plus his previous life. Naturally, Li Ruohai's mind can be seen. He smiled and said, "You don't need to think too much about work. If it wasn't for your business, how could I buy three satellites all at once? Have a good meal today before discussing the details."

When Li Ruohai heard that Fan Wuyao had made this promise, he was in a good mood. He asked for a bunch of beer and said with a smile, "Then I'm not welcome! It's a rare opportunity, Mr. Fan, don't you say that I am big Bullying!"

For more than an hour, a sheaf of beer on the ground was down, even the girl drank a lot, her face was red like an apple, Fan Wuyao couldn't help but glanced twice.

"Deputy Director Zhang knows you very well?" Li Ruohai couldn't help asking.

When Deputy Director Zhang told Li Ruohai that Fan Wuyao bought three satellites from Hughes, he once revealed a bit of news that if the business was not agreed, he would say hello to himself. Li Ruohai inferred from this, Zhang The deputy director must be very familiar with Fan Wubing, otherwise it would be impossible to say such things with such confidence.

"Very familiar, I have known each other for more than ten years." Fan Wubing thought of going to Guangzhou with his father Fan Heng when he was three and a half years old. It's been twelve years, so time flies!

Thinking about the events of these years, it really feels like a dream.

Li Ruohai heard it, but felt a little inexplicable. How old is Xin Dao Fan without a disease? He has known Deputy Director Zhang for more than ten years? But after thinking about it, it seems that I heard that Fan Wuyi's father is serving as the mayor of a prefecture-level city, or that it is possible that the two of them are family friends.

"Oh, let’s not mention this, friendship belongs to friendship, business belongs to business, I would like to ask by the way, how much have you estimated for the three satellites to be launched in a package?" Fan Wuyi half lay on the recliner, and lay down in the same direction. Li Ruohai asked next to him.

Li Ruohai waved his hand to the girl next to Fan Wuyi's questioning.

The girl took out a document from her leather bag and handed it to Fan Wuyi.

Fan Wubing glanced at it and wrote a lot of detailed budgets on it, and then estimated a price, settled in U.S. dollars, 36 million U.S. dollars, which is the same as the price reported by Great Wall to Osset. of.

This price is acceptable. After all, in order to win business for foreign companies, Great Wall Company kept the price very low. Basically, there was no profit. The same price was given to Fan Wuyi, which was quite authentic.

In this case, the launch cost of the three satellites is 108 million U.S. dollars, plus the insurance cost, which is roughly the same as the launch cost, totaling 220 million U.S. dollars, plus the 300 million U.S. dollars for the purchase of satellites. That's more than half a billion dollars in total.

This thing is so expensive! Fan Wubing couldn't help but shook his head.

However, when I thought that Wal-Mart had spent US$700 million to build a global sales network, I still lost a lot of money. At least the US$200 million saved can be used for ground terminal construction and software construction. .

"This price is already the base price, but we still hope to increase the price in terms of publicity, otherwise the market will not be able to do it in the future." Seeing that Fan Wuyao had no objection to his offer, Li Ruohai proposed his own. Require.

"There is no problem with this. It benefits others and oneself." Fan Wuyao nodded and replied.

"There is another, that is, we hope that the launch time can be ahead of Austellite." Li Ruohai made another request.

"Oh? Why is this?" Fan Wuyao asked in a puzzled manner.

Li Ruohai took a sip of beer and explained to Fan Wuyao, "Because Austar and the satellite you bought are actually the same type, they are consistent in various parameters and performance. Our long second bundle has been developed since last year. After the success, a satellite of Pakistan has been successfully sent to the sky. But as you know, the quality of Austell is much heavier than that of Pakistan’s satellite, so we still hope to be able to launch your satellite, right The long second bundle of rockets undergoes a comprehensive revision."

Oh, it's been a long time. Use my satellite as an experiment!

However, Fan Wubing didn't feel much dissatisfied with this. After all, they had already made it very clear, and the price had been given to the lowest level, and he would not be indecent. It's natural to make a little contribution by yourself.

However. Fan Wubing knew something about the Great Wall Company. He remembered that before his rebirth, the first launch of Austar had a problem. Fortunately, the Star Arrows were saved, but the second launch was successful after a delay of three months. , And when the second Austar was launched, there was a major accident. After the satellite took off, it exploded. lost heavily.

With this knowledge, Fan Wubing had to give Liu Ruohai a few words. So he pondered for a while and said, "Your long two-bundle ground performance is still relatively reliable, but one thing needs to be pointed out. The problem is often not in the rocket design itself, but in the processing, especially those parts. Any flaws in the processing and production of the U.S. company will cause the launch to fail. As for launching my satellite first, there is no problem.

Li Ruohaixin said, if you hadn't had satellites, we needed satellite launch missions. It is estimated that we would not be able to come together. This kind of technical work, you, an ordinary person, don't seem to be able to give any guidance, right? But of course you can’t say that. He promised Fan Wuyi, “Every process of ours is the most stringent. The rocket always has to go through dozens of inspections before it takes off. The low-level mistakes you mentioned are definitely not. It may appear!"

Fan Wubing smiled and said in his heart your guarantee, that is to say, when the problem is really reached, no one's guarantee can solve the problem. But this kind of thing is really hard to say, unless it is when the accident occurs, people can believe your words, after all, scientific researchers are also very face-saving, especially in the field of self-confidence.

But as soon as the words were spoken, Liu Ruohai always felt a little uncomfortable, especially the girl who looked at Fan Wuyi with a look of contempt, just like the eyes of the people in the city when they looked at the rich man.

Fan Wubing said in his heart that it wasn't that I was gloomy in my heart, and it wasn't that I had a heart to curse you. It really wasn't this expression when you had an accident. I don't mention it anymore now, just drinking and chatting.

Li Ruohai talked with Fan Wubing for an afternoon before leaving. Because the follow-up matters have to be discussed for a long time, he is not in a hurry. He only left Fan Wubing with his contact information in Beijing and Xichang Satellite Launch Center. .

Fan Wuyao sent Li Ruohai away before returning to the hotel. His hand came down to inform him that it was Mr. Maximus from Hughes Company who had been waiting in the guest room.

"What's the old man asking me for?" Fan Wuyao drank six or seven bottles of beer before going to the bathroom to put water. He heard the news, he couldn't help but frowned, knowing that his purchase costs have already been paid. It's on the Hughes company account, what else can he do?

After rubbing his painful temples, Fan Wuyao walked into the room.

"Aha, Mr. Fan!" The old Jewish man Maximus was sitting on the sofa watching TV. After seeing Fan Wuyi came back, he immediately stood up excitedly and greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Maximus, you are here late at night. There must be something important, right?" Fan Wuyi asked Davis to pour Maximus a cup of tea, found another box of cigars and threw it over.

"Oh, Cuban goods, not bad!" Maximus is also a person who knows the goods. Seeing that the cigar handed by Fan Wuyi is actually a handmade cigar of Cuban origin, he couldn't help but brighten up, and skillfully picked up the small inside the box. Scissors, cut off the tail, and then slightly roasted it on the flame. After lighting it, it vomited, and it looked like I enjoyed it very much.

"I'm here this time to discuss issues related to the launch. Our American company is very interested in this business, so I hope I can come over and see if there is an opportunity for cooperation?" Moss said to Fan Wuyao while hesitating.

"I don't care about this. I just finalized this business with Great Wall Company. Their price is good. It is estimated that the American company can't drop this amount." Fan Wuyao said to Maximus with an indifferent expression.

"Oh, what a pity! It seems that I am still a step late!" Maximus shrugged with regret and said to Fan Wuyin, "However, it is not unreasonable that you choose Great Wall Company, the American Rocket Launch Company. Recently, it has been at a low ebb. Due to the successive failures of the early launches, I don’t think they have much confidence in themselves. It’s just that Great Wall has made a profit this time. Together with the two satellites of Australia’s Osset, they have won a total of five satellites. The satellite launch mission is even more enviable. These five satellites are all of the same type and can be referred to each other. The workload is much smaller. Therefore, even if the price they quoted is very low, there are still a lot of It's a big profit!"

Fan Wubing thought carefully. What Maximus said is not unreasonable. The preparations for launching five different types of satellites must be quite cumbersome, while five satellites of the same type are relatively simple. It seems that the people at Great Wall Company are relatively smart.

"However, there is another problem. When we signed the contract, we seemed to forget to emphasize it." The old Jewish man Maximus said to Fan Wuyi.

"Are there?" Fan Wubing asked after a moment of stunned.

"Of course." Maximus nodded, "It is about the cost of the security work we undertake in the process of sending the satellite from the factory to the launch platform of the rocket."

"Is there such a fee?" Fan Wubing said after touching his chin, "I said the old man, you are not authentic! Why is this item not reflected in the contract? You propose it now, I I can sue you for breach of contract!"

The old Jewish man scratched his head and said, "This is a custom in the industry. In order not to leak the company's business intelligence and technology, the satellite manufacturing company personally sends the satellite to the rocket-carrying platform, and our people are responsible for the installation. And debugging, and the consignee provides the related expenses, which is reasonable and impeccable. If we must say what went wrong in the middle~www.NovelMTL.com~That is one point. We have never represented this as the highest level of technology. The communications satellite of the country was sold to a natural person."
