Chapter 114 As long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be traded

As soon as it is linked to the score, the unique Chinese college entrance examination PTSD is committed.

Whether it is linked to performance or not, I will get high scores, no matter how bad it is, it won’t be in the single digits.

The consequence is that Guangjia Aerospace is crazy about this aspect.

And considering that most of the recruits for Guangjia Aerospace are fresh graduates who have not started a family, and most of them are singles from science and engineering students. After graduation, they entered Guangjia Aerospace. The connection was direct and seamless, and they were easy to roll up. Before Isn’t this the intensity in the laboratory? What's the difference.

Singles signed up, and those with girlfriends and families had to follow suit. Many girlfriends came in and were broken up after just one quarter. The reason was that they couldn't bear to work and live such a boring life.

In the apartment rented by Guangjia Aerospace for them, Lin Tianmin watched the video of Chen Yuanguang talking in a gray coat.

He has always felt that Chen Yuanguang is a bit socially intimidated. He never talks about anything unrelated to work in front of them, and he never cares about your situation other than work.

Chen Yuanguang is extremely meticulous when it comes to his work. He is so meticulous that he can tell everyone clearly what their specific work is and what their recent progress is.

Lin Tianmin is considered to be the first batch of employees of Guangjia Aerospace. When he joined, there were less than 100 employees. It is not surprising that Chen Yuanguang can do it. Now that there are 1,000 employees, Chen Yuanguang can still do it.

Because sometimes groups reserve conference rooms for classes, Chen Yuanguang will come to listen if he is interested in the course. After listening to the discussion, when work occasionally comes up, Chen Yuanguang will make a few comments and give some suggestions.

It was the details around him that made Lin Tianmin sigh that Chen Yuanguang was successful because of his superhuman memory and physical strength.

“To be honest, I am not sure that we can succeed. We have been exploring, and this exploration began when Guangjia Aerospace attracted investment.

Our recently promoted learning organization transformation plan , is also part of the exploration.

Judging from the current results, the effect is not bad.

I think this is a process of dynamic adjustment, making a plan - completing the plan - adjusting the plan based on the results. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Yes, I am very patient. ”

Chen Yuanguang’s voice echoed throughout the room through the iPad, and Lin Tianmin had the illusion of returning to the company’s office.

However, compared to the company, Chen Yuanguang seemed more passionate in the video, In the company, Chen Yuanguang was too rational and had no emotion at all.

After the interview, Lin Jia took her two best friends to Xintiandi for dinner, but Chen Yuanguang didn't want to run away.

There is a nanny at home, and you don’t need to do it yourself. It’s so sweet to stay at home and have dinner with three women, so forget it.

"Xiyin, you are becoming more and more skilled in the role of host." Lin Jia said with emotion in the western restaurant.

Li Xiyin said with a smile: "It's all a result of training. At the beginning, I used our colleagues as the interview subjects, and basically had to read the manuscript word for word on the hand card.

At that time, it was the world's artificial intelligence At the conference, I interviewed the big guys on behalf of our company. From then on, I came up with the idea of ​​creating a similar channel."

Lin Jia said: "So it is difficult for everyone to predict what they will do in the future. After we graduated from high school, I would never have thought of choosing computer as my major.

Unexpectedly, you, who was full of science and engineering temperament in college, have now transformed into self-media. "

Zhou Yaqi followed: "Yes, we all thought you would choose finance like us. "

Li Xiyin: "I have always found computers very interesting, including when we were in school. My favorite was the information class, because I could learn some programming knowledge.

I am not very interested in finance. ”

Lin Jia said: “As a result, most of the content you created in self-media was related to finance.

This is a roundabout and always inseparable aspect. "

Li Xiyin didn't want to discuss this topic more, she said: "What do you think of today's interview? "

Lin Jia said: "Very good, it's rare for me to see Yuan Guang talk so much in front of unfamiliar people.

Looks like we should let him show his face in front of the camera more often. "

Lin Jia saw his two best friends dressed up carefully, and saw Li Xiyin and Chen Yuanguang talking happily, and he felt a sense of crisis in his heart, so he deliberately reminded him.

Li Xiyin naturally read Lin Jia's subtext. She felt that Chen Yuanguang was very charming, and his strength was also part of the charm.

But Chen Yuanguang already has a partner, and he is also the boyfriend of her best friend. She will not compete with him. She has this confidence and bottom line.

However, she still wanted to tease Lin Jia: "It seems that in the future, I will have to deal with Guangshen more and listen to more lessons from top entrepreneurs."

Lin Jia's face changed slightly: "Yuan Guang is too busy. , he will return to Pengcheng the day after tomorrow, and senior officials from the European Space Agency will come to Pengcheng the day after tomorrow, and they will meet for the first time that night. "

Zhou Yaqi doesn't mind taking it from Lin Jia. Chen Yuanguang grabbed it, but seeing Lin Jia being so vigilant, she felt she had little chance.

Seeing Lin Jia's reaction, Li Xiyin quickly said: "I was just joking, I won't contact Chen Yuanguang without going through you."

"Speaking of Guangjia Aerospace and the European Space Agency discussing cooperation, this is Doesn’t it need to be kept secret? Can it be broadcast on station b?" Li Xiyin changed the subject.

Lin Jia’s face turned slightly bright: “Yes, it’s just an intention at the moment, and the only one that can provide human hibernation technology in the world is Guangjia Technology, so even if the news is announced, no other organization can take it from us. Rushing for orders.

Our commercial department has hired many people from Huawei overseas. They are now exploring the markets in South America and Southeast Asia. Many governments in these two places are willing to give us rocket launch orders. Do.

Currently negotiating the price.

The advantage of light-armor aerospace is that it is cheap. Our price is one-third lower than that of SpaceX, which is still very attractive to some small countries. "

Li Xiyin then asked: "Can Guangjia Aerospace really reach cooperation with the European Space Agency?

Compared with small countries, I find it difficult to talk about it. "

Lin Jia said calmly, "It's difficult to talk about, but the European Space Agency's will is very strong.

The people who came to Pengcheng to look for Yuanguang this time were Frank and Ulf, Frank Wenner and Ulf Merbold. ”

Li Xiyin and Zhou Yaqi looked at each other. Neither of them had heard of these two names.

Lin Jia didn’t find it strange. It would be strange if they had heard of this name. She was also the person she didn’t know until the other party came:

“They are European Space Agency astronauts respectively. The former and current director of the center

Ulf is a German who was an astronaut in his youth and was the first West German to go into space

because of him. There was East Germany when we went into space.”

The Chinese people are very sensitive to levels. Li Xiyin and Zhou Yaqi quickly calculated in their minds what level of official the Chinese would be if the director of the astronaut center were replaced.

"It should be at the department level." Zhou Yaqi thought to herself.

Lin Jia continued: "And Frank is the current head of the Astronaut Center, a Belgian."

Pengcheng, the distance of 16,000 kilometers from Cologne, Germany to Pengcheng, China, Frank He and Ulf stepped out of the plane, accompanied by two staff members.

"Oh, I heard that this is only their third largest city. China is so different from before." The gray-haired old white man started shouting as soon as he entered the center of Pengcheng City.

The old man was amazing.

“China has developed rapidly in recent years, including in the aerospace field. I still remember that when I was an astronaut on the International Space Station, our Galileo project had to cooperate with China.< br>
Later, we didn’t cooperate, and Galileo hadn’t finished deploying it, and the Chinese people created beidou, right?

It has been running for several years. "Frank has light hair, so that's right. He is not bald but has a little hair, he said with emotion on his face.

He was also an astronaut before he retired from the army. In other words, a considerable number of staff at the European Space Agency Astronaut Center were former astronauts.

Because the Astronaut Center has to assume the main responsibility of astronaut training.

Ulf came from the coldwar era, and he was also very impressed: "Yes, China was just an inconspicuous member of the big family back then, but now it has grown to the point where we all have to cooperate with them. "

Frank did not discuss this topic too much: "We have to go to the hotel to prepare the materials again, and we will negotiate with Wright tonight."

U. Wolf nodded: "Okay."

"Hello, Dr. Wright, I'm Frank." Frank looked serious. "Ulf Merbold, Dr. Wright, thank you for your contribution during the virus epidemic." Ulf smiled when he mentioned his contribution, and then quickly became serious again.

Chen Yuanguang felt that the atmosphere was very formal, but considering that the European Space Agency had roped in Ulf, it was only normal to be formal.

Why do you say that? Because Ulf is eighty years old and retired old men are recruited by the European Space Agency to contribute.

“Hello, you two, we are very willing to cooperate with the European Space Agency, but in terms of this cooperation method, we hope that Guangjia Aerospace will provide transportation services.”

“Although the more tests The better, the test data of the International Space Station is very important to Guangjia Technology and Guangjia Aerospace, but China also has its own space station." Chen Yuanguang went directly to the topic.

It's good to have a big tree at your back. If it were Ah San, he wouldn't be able to say with such confidence that his country also has a space station.

But it can also be said that it is nothing more than bragging, saying that we will also have a space station within three years.

"Dr. Wright, I believe you also know that this is not something we can decide. We can only decide whether the European Space Agency will use human hibernation equipment in space.

As for the specific cargo transportation, This is the responsibility of NASA and RKA.”

RKA is Russia’s space agency.

Chen Yuanguang nodded: "Yes, I know that NASA is responsible for the annual public bidding for cargo transportation to the International Space Station.

But that does not mean that only NASA can do this. The England Space Agency has also done its own cargo transportation. Tender for transporting the International Space Station.

This is the tender announcement for 2017." Chen Yuanguang handed the document to the other party.

The European Space Agency is an alliance, and European countries also have their own space agencies.

Although England has left the European Union, it is still a member of the European Space Agency.

The information Chen Yuanguang presented made Frank and Ulf a little confused as to how to deal with it.

I originally thought that negotiation was about negotiating conditions. If I say no, it won’t work. You can find a way to give me a bargaining chip and let me do it.

The reason why the European side specially called Ulf this time that he came all the way to China at the age of 80 is because of the training he received at NASA when he was an astronaut and because of his status as a physicist. , often giving lessons while working at Marshall Space Flight Center.

Many of his students back then were already senior executives at NASA.

What Frank can't do, Ulf can do it, or knows how to do it.

It turns out that Chen Yuanguang didn't play by common sense, and *** has done this before, so why can't you?

Neither of them had seen this document before.

Frank and Ulf looked at each other and said: "We will study it.

Also, just because you can do this in 2017 does not mean that you can do it today.

Dr. Wright, you need to understand that the logic of doing things in Europe has changed since 2022, and many previous rules may not be applicable today," Frank reminded vaguely.

Chen Yuanguang nodded: "Mr. Frank, I understand what you mean. Geopolitics profoundly affects international aerospace cooperation.

But there is a large basis for cooperation between China and Europe.

We can definitely cooperate.

Looking at SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 taking over most of the transportation orders for the International Space Station, doesn’t the European Space Agency want a piece of the pie?

Don’t European commercial space companies want to engage in this? Class business? ”

Chen Yuanguang then said in confusion: "The International Space Station is not just Amerikan's space station, it should also be a European space station."

Frank felt that Chen Yuanguang's words made sense, so he went to Paris for a meeting. I also heard from many European Space Agency officials, including European Space Agency Director General Joseph Aschbach.

The problem is that this is not a decision for the two of them. They are the heads of the Astronaut Center, not the European Space Agency.

Even if Joseph Aschbach wanted to break ranks with NASA, it would not be easy.

“So what do you mean?”

Chen Yuanguang said: "We can cooperate. Guangjia Aerospace's recyclable rocket technology can be given to the European Space Agency through technology transactions.

We need half of the European Space Agency's space transportation orders in the next ten years."

Seeing that Frank was unable to control the situation, Ulf helped to come to the rescue and said: "The content of this cooperation is beyond the scope of what we can decide.

We will discuss it with Joseph after we go back. We must first confirm it now , is Guangjia Technology willing to sell the latest generation of human hibernation equipment to us? "

Chen Yuanguang said directly: "No problem, provided that Guangjia Aerospace is responsible for space transportation."

Frank said: "What if it doesn't work?"

Chen Yuanguang said decisively: "Then we can only sell the equipment currently on the market."

The equipment on the market is consistent with the latest technology of Guangjia Technology Than, it cannot wake up and can only wait for the hibernator to wake up on its own.

Frank said nothing. They were obviously more interested in the recyclable rocket technology that Chen Yuanguang just mentioned than the hibernation equipment that was everywhere on the market.

As technocrats, it is not easy for them to go to Pengcheng. They have made sufficient preparations before coming and on the way here.

I have a very clear understanding of the recyclable rocket technology in the hands of Light Armor Aerospace. This technology is far behind SpaceX, but it is also much better than the recyclable rocket technology developed by Europe.

The prototype of the recyclable rocket developed by the Europeans has not even reached the sky yet. The Spanish company PLASpace has tried to launch the recyclable rocket twice before, but it was aborted after discovering unsolvable problems before launch.

Compared with Europe, where the space industry has stagnated, the technology of light-armor aerospace is quite attractive.

Frank returned to the topic just now: "What if we give the space transportation order to Guangjia Aerospace?"

The first time he heard the name Guangjia Aerospace was at a meeting in Paris. At that time, the Virgin Orbit executive who made the introduction mentioned what the world's famous commercial airlines were.

When the other party introduced Guangjia, he said that because of its founder, Light Chen, this company was worth looking forward to.

Frank still thought at that time why the name was so weird. Was it just made of armor?

As expected, Guangjia Aerospace completed the development and launch of recyclable rockets in just one year. Although the carrying capacity was still relatively small, at least the problem of availability was solved.

In contrast, Europe's space launch capabilities are plummeting, with the Ariane 5 launch vehicle retired, Virgin Orbit's Vega-C launch vehicle failing, and PLDSpace's Murat 1 rocket The launch was canceled and Europe almost lost its space launch capabilities.

In this context, the success of our peers is particularly dazzling.

When Joseph went to Brussels for meetings, he had to face questions from other politicians about how, with so much budget, he was not doing as well as he did each year.

In this context, it is particularly delicious to be able to buy technology.

We all know that self-research is good, and self-research reflects all-round capabilities. Before the launch of Ariane 5, the Spanish Prime Minister wanted to emphasize on FB that this is a recyclable rocket that uses 100% Spanish technology. .

But when there is no progress in self-research and encounter bottlenecks one after another, being able to purchase technology is also a solution.

Chen Yuanguang said: "If the European Space Agency is willing to hand over transportation to Guangjia Aerospace, first we will open the latest human hibernation equipment to the European Space Agency.

Secondly, we can adopt a technology exchange model and provide the technology used in Pioneer 1 to the European Space Agency. "

Frank asked: "Is it the current technology, or the technology that has been optimized after a large number of launches this year. "

Chen Yuanguang took a high look at Frank. He knew that he had done enough homework and knew that they would launch rockets intensively this year to optimize the Pioneer One and increase the carrying capacity and launch altitude.

Being able to obtain this information is considered qualified among technocrats.

“It depends on the price offered by the European side.

You should know that our biggest shortcoming is the rocket engine. If you can sell the Vulcan engine technology to us, I think the latest technology will be fine. "

Frank wanted to refuse, but Ulf said for him: "Sorry, Dr. Wright, the Vulcan engine is in the catalog of the Wassenaar Agreement. Even if we are willing to trade, we cannot circumvent the Wassenaar Agreement. . ”

Try to continue tomorrow!
