Lingke Aerospace is a domestic company specializing in the development and manufacturing of retractable rockets.
As the country continues to open up the field of aerospace technology, a large amount of capital has begun to enter the field of private aerospace technology.
However, the inflow of a large amount of capital not only promotes the rapid development of this industry, but also brings some other problems. For example, some people use the gimmick of research and development of aerospace technology to crazily raise money from the capital market, and then build a second
Kick your feet and listen to the noise or something.
Gu Zhenyu is known as the first person born in the 1980s to study rocket technology in the domestic civil aerospace field. Before this industry was not opened to the civilian market, he was unknown. It was not until this field was opened that he suddenly became a star in the capital market
Even celebrities in the media.
An entrepreneurial R&D team of only twenty or thirty people received hundreds of millions of investments. Subsequently, the entrepreneurial R&D team led by him expanded rapidly, adding hundreds of people in a very short period of time, and received several investments.
With the support of so many talents and funds, Gu Zhenyu is no longer satisfied with developing ordinary rockets, but plans to follow the example of SPX and develop return-type and reusable rockets.
It is also because of the continuous success of SPX's Falcon series rockets, coupled with the increasing opening up of the aerospace field by relevant domestic departments and the increasing support for private rocket and satellite companies. Therefore, the capital market is very optimistic about this industry, and has successively added
Several investments.
With these large amounts of funds, Gu Zhenyu was able to recruit troops and quickly made progress in this area. Several return rockets they have developed have been able to complete stasis in the air, mid-air transition, and 500-meter
and an autonomous landing of one thousand meters.
After these successes, he started to build his first practical retractable rocket with full confidence.
However, this time it was not so smooth, and the launch failed three times.
The first time, the rocket exploded directly in the air at an altitude of 8,000 meters, which was equivalent to setting off a huge firework. Fortunately, this time it was a test, and it only carried the payload they put up themselves, so there was no big loss.
The second time, the rocket malfunctioned when the first and second stages were separated. The second stage failed to ignite successfully, causing the rocket to crash, and an experimental satellite of a domestic university carried on it also crashed. Fortunately, they had huge insurance, and they also
Don't worry about paying compensation.
One or two major failures made some capitals become cautious, and some even planned to withdraw their capital. It was at this time that Wu Hao and others made a strong appearance and decided to acquire them. But in the end, Gu Zhenyu did not agree, and some people behind him
Capital is also unwilling.
When Wu Hao and the others saw this, they temporarily put it down and turned to other private rocket R&D and manufacturing teams.
Until the end of July this year, Gu Zhenyu and the others conducted their third retractable rocket launch, and the rocket finally successfully put the satellite into orbit. Unfortunately, the satellite malfunctioned for unknown reasons and lost contact. The rocket
An accident also occurred during the landing and recovery of the first-stage section. The sudden shutdown of the engine caused the first-stage section of the rocket to fall directly from a place of one or two kilometers and was smashed to pieces.
They succeeded by just a little bit. But for the behind-the-scenes capital who only focused on performance, they had gradually lost patience. Two important investors withdrew their capital, casting a shadow over their entire company.
It was at this time that Wu Hao and the others proposed the acquisition plan again, but unexpectedly, Gu Zhenyu actually rejected it again.
The successive acquisition plans failed, making Wu Hao lose his patience. Without you Zhang Butcher, I would still be unable to eat pigs with hair on them.
Hearing him suddenly ask about this matter, Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment and then nodded and said: "Yes, Gu Zhenyu's attitude is very firm, investing in shares is okay, but acquisition is not.
Our acquisition working group plans to start with several shareholders in his team who started the business together to see if we can exert some influence on the other party."
When Wu Hao heard this, he waved his hand and said: "No, do you really think that we can't do anything without him? There will be no good results if you rely on your talents and are arrogant.
How is our recruitment of talents and experts in aerospace technology going?"
Zhang Jun was not surprised by his decision, but nodded and said with a smile: "We have recruited two college student entrepreneurial teams, and then recruited some related experts and talents in this field. Now there are about sixty or seventy people.
.
Except for some who are out of town, most of them have basically come to Anxi and are currently conducting basic research in a rented factory in Nanshan.
However, the mood of these people has been a little low recently. We just recruited them, but we have not learned from them and assigned mission goals, so these people are relatively unorganized.
I heard a few days ago that a few people wanted to resign, but they were temporarily persuaded."
After hearing Zhang Jun's explanation, Wu Hao thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "We can't delay it any longer, the related projects must be started as soon as possible.
In this way, since Gu Zhenyu is not willing to be acquired by us, then we don't need him. However, we can't let it go so easily.
When they have just failed and their team is a little unstable, you can ask the human resources department to find ways to poach them. Especially the R&D personnel with key technologies in the engine, rocket flight control and overall design and development projects, find ways to poach a few more.
.
Tell Lin Jianliang that this is the talent we urgently need, and it is related to our future development plan. Therefore, the conditions can be relaxed and generous. As long as we get the talent back, everything else will be easy.
The value they will create in the future is much higher than this salary.
Of course, you have to look for the right person to dig out, and don’t just recruit some drunkards to come back.”
"Okay, I'll talk to Lin Jianliang when I get back soon." Zhang Jun nodded seriously and responded.
Wu Hao nodded and continued: "In addition, more efforts must be made to recruit outstanding talents in this field. If the welfare benefits are higher, I don't believe that those talents in major research institutions will not be tempted.
Not only that, the recruitment plan for fresh graduates in major aerospace technology and engineering fields must also continue to expand. Science and technology, talent comes first. Only by cultivating our own team of high-quality young scientific and technological talents can we make a difference in this field
.”
Zhang Jun nodded after hearing what he said: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Lin Jianliang when I get back. It's already the recruiting season for seniors, so I asked him to pay more attention to this aspect.
But we can’t just ignore these talents when they are recruited. The factory they rent in Nanshan is a bit crude, so I’m afraid it’s not a place where they can stay for a long time.”
Wu Hao thought for a while, and then said to him: "Well, let's go there together tomorrow and meet these people by the way."
