As a northerner who grew up in the Northeast, worked in the capital, and then in Hong Kong, Chang Shuming is also a frequent visitor to Sichuan.
The reason is simple. He used to work in the national aerospace department and worked for Asia Satellite Corporation in Hong Kong. Naturally, he often had to deal with the Shuchuan Xichang Satellite Launch Base.
AsiaSat is a joint-stock company established in Hong Kong in 1988, led by CITIC Group. In name, it is now a listed joint-stock company, but in fact, more than half of the people in charge of it are from the National Science and Technology Commission.
It is still under the jurisdiction of the national aerospace department.
Matters such as the launch and coverage of satellites involve national security issues, and naturally cannot be dealt with casually.
It is also for this reason that although China launched its own satellites in the early 1980s and was even able to launch launch vehicles directionally from under the sea, it took several years before it had the opportunity to develop in Hong Kong.
It would be several years before we had a firm foothold.
It is actually not that easy for Chinese companies to develop in Asia, let alone Europe and the United States.
It’s not that people are deliberately discriminating or fearing the development of China, but because there are many businesses that I can’t do if you do it, and there is only so much food. When everyone competes, who cares if you are from China or the United States?
?
Within Asia, Japan, South Korea and Singapore were basically dominant in those years. If it hadn't been for the Asian financial crisis in 1997, China would have had to wait at least another ten years if it wanted to be as prosperous as it is now.
Thinking about the fact that Asia Satellite Corporation has grown from weak to powerful over the years, from being unable to launch a single satellite to now accounting for more than 40% of the Asian satellite market, Chang Shuming feels very proud.
Now Chang Shuming still remembers the heartbroken expressions of several old professors when they talked about China's aerospace industry.
After more than ten years of hard work, he and his seniors finally achieved such results, and the teachings of the old professors in the school were not in vain.
However, Chang Shuming's visit to Rongcheng this time was not to go to Xichang after transferring.
He came to meet someone.
Xiao Qi, the richest man in the world.
As a semi-businessman working hard in Hong Kong, Chang Shuming sincerely admires Xiao Qi. From scratch, he built such a large family business from scratch, which is definitely not something ordinary people can achieve... In other words, except for him, Xiao Qi
Strange, it is impossible for another person to have such great achievements.
On weekdays, when Hong Kong people talk about mainland businessmen, they always have a confused or sour tone.
Ever since Xiao Qi was born, no one dared to say that mainland businessmen were failing, otherwise they would be speechless if someone said "please evaluate Xiao Qi".
Even Hong Kong businessmen and very shameless people knelt down and licked Xiao Qi. Just look at what happened when Meitu Sharing and Fairy Guard were listed. Both businessmen and ordinary people in Hong Kong were crazy about buying up the stocks of these two companies, and even
In order to obtain shares in advance before the IPO, I don’t know how many friends turned against each other.
Chang Shuming suddenly felt deeply proud of all this, because Xiao Qi was from the mainland and had never had the experience of studying abroad. All his achievements came from his intelligence.
This proves that there are people from mainland China who can change the world!
However, Chang Shuming never thought that one day he would have a business meeting with Xiao Qi.
The reason is that half a year ago, a large American consulting company came to discuss with Asia Satellite Company the possibility of launching a dedicated satellite for a logistics company and online trading company.
At first, Chang Shuming thought that this company represented Amazon or eBay, but as he talked about it, he discovered that what this consulting company cared about most was its coverage in mainland China, which made him heartbroken.
There are some activities... could it be that company?
Sure enough, when the two companies reached a certain level of contact and reached a certain consensus, the consulting company withdrew, and the people who came to negotiate became several vice presidents from Xiaoyao Logistics, Xiaoyao Express and Xiaoyao Mall headquarters plus a negotiation team.
At this time, the executives of Asia Satellite Company suddenly realized that it turned out to be Xiao Qi's company!
Then they get excited.
Everyone knows how influential Xiao Qi's company is.
People in Hong Kong feel it even more deeply.
All companies related to Xiao Qi have skyrocketed in value. Li Xiaochao, Yan Chenglong, and the even more penniless Feng Kelun have all been ranked among the top 20 richest people in Hong Kong. This is ironclad proof!
Not to mention Guo Taiming, the richest man in Baodao. Because of his cooperation with Xiao Qi, his net worth increases by more than 30% every year, which makes people extremely envious and jealous.
There are also those companies in mainland China. They have also greatly improved because of their parts and components, OEM, stock market or actual income for Xiao Qi.
If Asia Satellite Corporation provides satellite launch and maintenance for Xiao Qi's company, the company's influence will be greatly increased and its business will be further expanded. It is conceivable that it will reach 50% coverage in Asia!
Therefore, Chang Shuming attached great importance to this and led the team to make a very detailed satellite launch plan for Xiaoyao Logistics, Xiaoyao Mall and Xiaoyao Express, including satellite GPS channel allocation issues, satellite GPS contact issues...etc., more than three hundred
The engineers worked hard for three months and communicated many times before finally coming up with a 2,744-page plan.
In December, Chang Shuming came to Chengdu with the plan. At that time, Xiao Qi went to the United States. Zhou Bo, the vice president of Fairy Company, received him. He read it in detail and discussed it, and basically reached an agreement on cooperation.
.
Now Chang Shuming comes to Chengdu again, which is the final test. As long as Xiao Qi can agree, then this 1.2 billion yuan overall GPS communication satellite project can enter the specific implementation stage.
Entering the conference room on the eighth floor of Fairy Company's famous UFO headquarters building, Chang Shuming was still a little nervous when being guided into the small conference room by the beautiful secretary who was rumored to be Xiao Qi's forbidden love.
When he saw Xiao Qi standing up from the table, smiling and shaking hands with him, Chang Shuming breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha, I have often heard about your majestic history, Mr. Qi. Now that we have met, I know what a young hero is." After Chang Shuming sat down, he smiled and took a sip of tea: "That is to say, your genius is not in aviation technology.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have left the earth long ago?”
"I just work on some common life-related technologies. The real high-tech is your aviation technology." Xiao Qi replied with a smile: "The country spends a lot of money and invests in many scientific research projects.
We have a lot of troops, but according to my opinion, your aerospace development is the one that most lives up to the country’s trust!”
Although he knew that Xiao Qi meant this as a compliment, Chang Shuming was very happy to hear it.
Even in China's most difficult times, some industries have never stopped working hard, such as the two bombs and rocket aviation. No matter when and where, funds and personnel are absolutely tilted. No matter how hard and tired they are, they have not lost.
Needless to say, the two bombs are the sincere pride of the Chinese people. Today we can sit comfortably at home, leisurely surf the Internet, denounce the enemy chiefs, and criticize injustices, all because of these two bombs. Why do the Japanese never sit in power?
Have you never thought about using force to solve the problem like before? Why do you still let the Americans have four bases surrounding them? Isn't it because they are afraid that China will directly grow mushrooms for them?
That is to say, Vietnam is too close to us and can easily affect us. Otherwise, according to Xiao Qi's idea, we would just plant a mushroom for them at that time. Do you think who else in Asia would dare to make trouble? The United States has to shout "Peace, not violence"
!”
In peacetime, the function of the two bombs can only be a deterrent force, but the rocket and satellite industry is different. It always reflects a country's air power capabilities.
During times of peace, you can use rockets to launch various satellites and the like, but when something happens, the contents of the rocket will be different!
In this regard, China's rocket industry can be said without hesitation that we are already better than the United States, but inferior to Russia. Although the Americans were the first to land on the moon, look at what they are like now.
After 2013, they can hardly launch rockets themselves. If they want to connect to the International Space Station, they have to ask the Russians to help launch and dock!
Can you reach such a situation from scratch, do you think it can be attributed to the hard work of this group of scientists and engineers?
Those who can achieve results are the ones who are great!
People who say "you can't see our efforts" all day long are just nonsense. There is a word called "wasted work". Have you heard of it?
Therefore, Xiao Qi really didn't say many exaggerated compliments.
"Yes, but now our life is getting better and better. We just hope that we can continue to develop well." Chang Shuming's tone became more sincere, "For example, this time, the GPS communication satellites of the Xiaoyao series of Fairy Company
, it is also a test for our own technology. But after our detailed research and exploration, there is absolutely no problem with this satellite covering all of Asia! We guarantee that we can complete the mission!"
"With your efforts, I am naturally relieved." Xiao Qi smiled brightly, "I have already read the specific documents, and I don't have any problems. There is just one thing. I hope that it can be done without affecting the quality.
Implement this project as soon as possible!”
"no problem!"
Chang Shuming did not expect Xiao Qi to be so straightforward. In surprise, he quickly assured: "The ministry has a new satellite that has just been developed. Compared with the previous generation, its performance has been greatly improved. It will give us
It will take half a year to make detailed preparations and technical parameters. By September this year, the three companies in the Xiaoyao series will definitely be able to use their own GPS communication satellites!"
Launching a satellite is not as simple as just talking.
Xiao Qi had seen their plan a long time ago, and he admired this plan that was neither arrogant nor impetuous.
If you want to use this satellite well for a long time, you must not be vague about the preliminary preparation and inspection settings, including the careful parameter planning of the rocket launch, which all have strict standards.
Since they all said so, Xiao Qi naturally chose to trust professionals.
The development of the Xiaoyao series has not yet reached the point where it has completed its expansion. It is at a time when it is constantly expanding. With this GPS communication satellite, it will definitely be even more powerful!
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Xiao Qi smiled and stretched out his hand, "Don't worry about the money, because we are our own people. After signing the contract, we will directly transfer the money. You can do it if you have more money.
Be more energetic."
"Oh, good! Thank you Qi Shao!!"
Chang Shuming even smiled from ear to ear.
Good guy, the 1.2 billion payment will be received at once!?
The world's richest man is indeed as bold and generous as the legend says!
