Chapter 199 The Attraction of Light Armor Space
Anyone with a little knowledge of history and geography will know that ports are of great value because they involve a large amount of cargo transfer. Lion City and Xiangjiang are both due to their port status. It developed into an unprecedented large city.
The former relies on the Strait of Malacca, and the latter relies on the external transit of China's goods and funds.
As a liberal arts student, Lin Jia has a deeper understanding of this. She also did research on port economics in college.
In a region, the largest port will undoubtedly gain the most benefits. Zhongshen Seaport in the Yangtze River Delta is the largest, but it does not mean that this is a zero-sum game. Other adjacent ports also have a large number of Benefits, Ningbo Port, Suzhou Port, Lianyungang Port and other ports also benefited a lot.
Therefore, if the space station really develops into a space city in the future, even if it is a transit center for space mining, then the price will be too cheap.
If it is packaged into a project according to this plan and put on the capital market, she is sure that it will sell for 10 billion US dollars.
It is not difficult for them to make money back by operating their own operations.
You must know that there are many ways to operate the space station. Space tourism alone can make a scale of 2 billion a year.
Take the International Space Station as an example. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft is sent to the rich, and the package price is between US$50 million and US$60 million.
There are many wealthy people in China who can afford the price. In addition, after the International Space Station is decommissioned, this will be a monopoly business for quite some time.
Lin Jia looked back and thought more and more that the price was too cheap. After hearing Chen Yuanguang's grand plan, this thought came to a head.
“It is just a module. When we develop our space station into a space transfer station, it will have at least hundreds of modules. If we develop it into a space city, it will have thousands of modules.
What we give to France is nothing more than a complete cabin composed of 6 modules. If we want to compare it to a port, then what we sell to France is just a building overlooking the scenery around the port.
It is two different things from the port," Chen Yuanguang explained.
Lin Jia looked at Chen Yuanguang who looked a little haggard on the screen, and he was no longer in the mood to continue asking, "Okay, as long as you are happy.
It is not without its benefits, considering that there are currently space stations on the earth. We are the only ones in business, so by setting such a low price, we can keep out future competitors.
Even after the International Space Station is decommissioned, when NASA wants to re-promote the International Space Station program, it must do its best. Consider whether other member states will accept the price if it is too expensive. Instead of cooperating with the International Space Station, why not buy it directly from us?
Buy it from us or buy a complete module. br>Thinking about it this way, it may not be a bad thing to add obstacles to Amerikan and set an unprecedentedly high threshold for subsequent competitors," Lin Jia took the initiative to find reasons for Chen Yuanguang.
Chen Yuanguang smiled and said: "I didn't even think so much.
I just think that with 2 billion, it would be good if we could make a profit of about 30%."
Lin Jia I feel that I still have to correct myself: "Yuan Guang, your idea is not acceptable.
We are engaged in high-end manufacturing, no, ultra-high-end manufacturing, the only business on the entire planet.< br>
It is only because of our kindness that we only make double their profits.
Thirty percent is completely inconsistent with market pricing.
In addition, many of the links are handled by us, such as the launch of the space station. If we turn to SpaceX or China Aerospace, the cost price will be even higher.
So the profit of only 30% is already close to the cost price.
Forget it, Yuan Guang, I will discuss the business quotation issue next time.
The only good thing is that the price of France and our external publicity is both 5 billion US dollars. ”
After reaching cooperation with France, public opinion in China has begun to regard Light Armor Aerospace as two commercial aerospace giants that are on par with SpaceX.
In the past, you may have thought that if the scope was limited to the commercial aerospace field, then Light Armor Aerospace would lag behind SpaceX. After all, SpaceX also has Starlink, Starship and Dragon spacecraft projects.
Guangjia Aerospace has only caught up with SpaceX in recyclable rockets.
Now, in view of the expectations of the future space station, everyone begins to think that there is no essential difference between the two.
Of course, SpaceX is still better on foreign social media.
"Tianmin, do you have any internal referral channels? I kind of want to go out as a postdoctoral fellow and work in the industry." Another roommate of Lin Tianmin's in college, Jiang Zhanghao, found him on WeChat and asked.
Similar to Zhou Jin, Jiang Zhanghao also plans to become a postdoctoral fellow after graduating from Ph.D. and then stay in a university.
It’s just that his goal is higher, hoping to stay and teach in 985 universities or overseas universities, so he chose to go abroad as a postdoctoral fellow at Nanyang Technological University in the Lion City.
I even thought about doing one postdoc in Nanyang Polytechnic and then going to Europe to do another.
Lin Tianmin knew the preferences of each roommate very well and knew that the other roommate wanted to go to academia. Therefore, he was surprised when he saw this WeChat message and quickly made a WeChat call:
"Zhang Hao, why do you suddenly want to join the industry?
Didn't you always want to join the industry before?"
Jiang Zhanghao replied: "Before was before, now is now, Before, it was because I felt that going to industry would be boring and the things I would do would be uninteresting.
But in academia, it is relatively more balanced. If you are strong enough and can get some lateral topics, you can do it. Work on topics that interest you.
If I go to industry now, to put it bluntly, I am only interested in light armor aerospace.
Other industrial companies still don’t consider it. ”
Lin Tianmin understands what the other party is thinking. Since the successful launch of the recyclable rocket, Light Armor Aerospace has become more and more famous in the aerospace field, and the difficulty of recruiting people has plummeted.
Now the threshold has been raised. I have a bachelor's and master's degree from a top prestigious school because there are too many people submitting resumes.
Enterprises like Guangjia Aerospace have a lot of competition even for grassroots research positions.
In the offer comparison on Zhihu, the light armor series was ranked first, surpassing MiHoYo, which was previously ranked first.
A doctor from Beihang University got offers from MiHoYo and Guangjia Aerospace at the same time. He asked on Zhihu and said that the former offered him 600,000 yuan, while the latter offered him only 400,000 yuan. Where should he go?
“Brother, if you can go to Guangjia Technology, don’t consider MiHoYo. Mishe is very good, but it’s still incomparable with Guangjia Aerospace.
If it’s Guangjia Technology, I think MiHoYo It’s better to travel, but if you go to Guangjia Aerospace, your priority will definitely be full. This is a sea of stars. If you go abroad, no one will choose Google if they get an offer from SpaceX.”
“I can only say. MiHoYo’s salary is only 200,000. Let’s put it this way. In China, the salary must be at least twice as high as that of Guangjia Aerospace before it can be considered. Otherwise, it is recommended to choose Guangjia Aerospace without any thought.”
Similar question. The following are all answers to Light Armor Aerospace.
After listening to his roommate's ideas, Lin Tianmin said directly: "No problem, I can help you recommend the manpower to us.
We are always recruiting people.
It's just that I want to talk to you in advance Even Guangjia Aerospace is very complicated. We have many colleagues who came from the Aerospace Research Institute. They all said that Guangjia Aerospace has more papers than the Aerospace Academy.
And this kind of paper is psychological. Volume, the brain needs to work at crazy high speeds
Ultra-intensive mental work.
To put it simply, the management model of the Aerospace Institute is progress-controlled, and the tasks are blocked according to the nodes. Each node will not give you the task to calculate the dead time.
That is to say, sometimes I will be relatively free, and sometimes I will work overtime seriously.
As for us, Guangshen knows all the projects very well, and the progress is determined by the team leader himself. Guangshen will ask for details every time he holds a group meeting, and will assign a lot of questions to the team leader.
After the team leader comes back, he can only communicate with everyone to solve the problem.
This will lead to the fact that although there are no obvious nodes in the entire atmosphere, more and more work will accumulate in your problem list.
Never see the end. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Tianmin felt a lingering fear in his heart. He felt that the time when he was the temporary team leader was even more exaggerated than when he was studying for a Ph.D. He couldn’t sleep the night before every weekly meeting, for fear that Chen Yuanguang would kill him. Just ask.
Later, when Yang Jiashan came to replace him as the team leader, he did not feel disappointed about losing power, but felt relieved.
"Guangshen understands the work of each team? "Jiang Zhanghao couldn't believe it on the other end of the phone.
Lin Tianmin said: "Yes, Guangshen's achievements in the field of aerospace are no less than his achievements in the field of materials.
Even if he doesn't understand the method you chose, he will understand it when we meet again next week.
And be able to ask very targeted questions and suggestions.
Very strong, he is the strongest person I have ever met. "
Jiang Zhanghao took a breath of air on the other end of the phone: "Of course I know that Guang Shen is strong. It's a bit exaggerated to be so strong. His reading ability, understanding ability and learning ability are all at full level. Scientific research machine. "
Lin Tianmin said: "Yes, so under the boss's control, everyone is under great pressure. Take the recyclable rocket as an example. The design plan given by our team number 50 is not as good as the one designed by Guangshen himself.
Because we were in a hurry to complete the task, the design plan that Guangshen spent a week on was not as good as what Guangshen came up with in one week.
Whether it is in terms of feasibility or stability, it is not as good as the version designed by Guangshen.
If we make changes to the version designed by Guangshen, either the stability will be affected, or the thermal efficiency or cost cannot be controlled. ”
Jiang Zhanghao opened his mouth wide and felt unbelievable.
Whether it is domestic or foreign media, Chen Yuanguang has been widely reported. Everyone's reports on Chen Yuanguang focus on the field of materials science, thinking that he is a rare master in materials science.
As for Chen Yuanguang’s achievements in the aerospace field, he attributes these to the research team of Guangjia Aerospace, praising Chen Yuanguang as an outstanding engineer manager like Musk in addition to being a scientist.
With Guangjia Aerospace not actively promoting it to the outside world, few outsiders know about Chen Yuanguang’s achievements in the aerospace field.
Jiang Zhanghao's previous understanding was similar to that of the public. After he saw a few people on social media mentioning Guangshen's achievements in the aerospace field, he just regarded it as a god-making comment from Guangshen's fans.
As a result, Lin Tianmin’s words told Jiang Zhanghao that the praise on social media was too modest.
"Is it so exaggerated?" Jiang Zhanghao's tone was full of disbelief.
Lin Tianmin said: "If you come, you will know, it is so exaggerated.
I don't want to admit that I am a waste. The problem is that compared with Guangshen, the frustration is too strong .
Do you understand that feeling? Every group has a similar experience.
The media will attribute the achievements of Guangjia Aerospace to the loosening of the private economy and the liberation of rigid ideas. We know best at Guangjia Aerospace that the biggest reason for our achievements is our boss
If Guangshen becomes the leader of the Aerospace Academy, the Academy's achievements will not be worse than ours, or even better. "
Jiang Zhanghao said: "Okay, this is too exaggerated.
He is indeed a man who uses God as his nickname. "
Lin Tianmin smiled bitterly: "Yes. "
Jiang Zhanghao then asked: "Isn't this a good thing?
The boss has done everything for you.
Or is it that the God of Light has a violent personality when he is inside and will rant? Like Musk, if something doesn't go his way, he'll snap and fuck. "
Lin Tianmin said: "That's not the case. Guangshen is very peaceful. Even if you don't do well, he will not criticize you. Not only does he not criticize grassroots employees, he also does not criticize middle-level employees. He is very Buddhist.
In addition to being cruel to himself, he is very Buddhist towards others. To describe it in words, no one except Mr. Lin can really know what Guangshen is thinking. "
Jiang Zhanghao asked: "Mr. Lin? Lin A? ”
Lin Jia is also well-known to the outside world. With the rising stock prices of Guangjia Group and the declining valuation of real estate companies, Lin Jia has ranked among the top three in the list of richest women in China.
Compared with her wealth, what is more talked about by the outside world is her vision. She selected Chen Yuanguang in college, which was hailed by the self-media as an investment comparable to Lu Buwei.
“That’s right, if you didn’t do your job well, Guangshen will not retaliate afterwards or deduct the year-end bonus or anything like that.
Because here, there is no such thing as performance. Everyone’s year-end bonus is fixed, and you get the same amount regardless of your good or bad performance.
On the contrary, Mr. Lin is more likely to get angry. If you don’t do well, he will put pressure on you, saying that you need to adjust positions, optimize personnel, etc. It may also be due to the division of labor, Mr. Lin is responsible for playing the bad guy, but Guangshen is really not angry," Lin Tianmin continued.
"But that's it. Everyone is not too afraid of Mr. Lin, but more afraid of Guangshen. The pressure is too much, and the questions asked are all straight to the point.
If he doesn't answer well, he will be able to sense that something is wrong.
You bring out someone else’s paper as support, and Guangshenneng calls you the next day to tell you that the paper involves data fraud, and then sends you his handwritten manuscript by email so that you can see his argumentation process. Why is the data falsified?
The boss is too powerful, and everyone will feel pressure not to make mistakes.
Other than this, everything else is fine. You should also be in a learning organization. Heard of it.
That’s it for these two points. "Lin Tianmin seems to have been holding it in for a long time.
In the company, no one will discuss the light god openly, it is just that there is some meaning in the eye interaction.
After listening to this, Jiang Zhanghao He murmured: “Just thinking about it makes me feel stressed.
No wonder you were able to develop reusable rockets in such a short time. ”
Guangjia Aerospace has never been declassified by the outside world. The outside world is curious about their achievements and lacks channels to understand them.
Compared with SpaceX, the outside world can only learn about Guangjia Aerospace and their projects from the official website.
“Yes, Guangjia Aerospace is an organization owned by Guangshen alone. If Guangshen leaves Guangshen, then I think Guangjia Aerospace will be no different from other commercial aerospace companies on the market.”
Jiang Zhanghao complained: "No, you have forgotten that there are no commercial aerospace companies on the market."
Everything falls when a whale is born. For China's commercial aerospace field, Light Armor Aerospace is Like a huge whale, all the previous commercial aerospace companies collapsed.
In the face of Trailblazer 2, everyone will be dead end if they try to build rockets. From technology to cost to credibility, nothing can compare with Light Armor Aerospace.
Commercial aerospace companies that previously rejected Guangjia Aerospace's acquisition regretted it. If they were acquired, even 1% of Guangjia Aerospace's shares would be much more valuable than if they listed the company.
When Lin Tianmin heard what the other party said, he corrected: "It's not that the commercial aerospace company is gone.
It's that the commercial aerospace company that makes rockets is gone. The commercial aerospace company that helps us make supporting equipment is quite good. "
Lin Tianmin continued: "According to what I know, companies in the market that provide us with supporting services and startups that are not listed on the market can become successful in the market as long as they can be stable for more than three years. Companies that have attracted much attention
It is easy to get investment from financial institutions, and even many of these companies have financial institutions rushing to give them money. ”
Jiang Zhanghao said: "That's for sure. According to the terrifying requirements of Light Armor you just described, if they can survive in Light Armor's supplier system for so long, they must have a few tricks on their hands."
Lin Tianmin said: "Haha, but most of them have been acquired by us. A small number of people who are unwilling to be acquired will get investment institutions in their turn.
Why do you suddenly want to come to our company?"
Jiang Zhanghao said: "Previously, recyclable rockets were not in line with my direction, but if it were a space station, there would be a lot I could do in it.
So I thought about joining. Light Armor Aerospace.
Guangjia Aerospace is very popular right now. Have many people left your company recently? "
Lin Tianmin thought for a while, and then said: "It seems so. Recently, three people left our group. Before, we only saw people coming and not leaving. "
Jiang Zhanghao said: "That's right. I heard from the Amerikan people in our group that recently SpaceX is trying to find ways to poach people from Light Armor Aerospace.
And with special federal permission, as long as SpaceX sends you a job offer, you will be given a green light in the green card queue.
You must know that SpaceX only recruited Amerikans before, but now it has given the green light to foreigners in Guangjia Aerospace. It is difficult to think that it is not due to commercial competition. ”
Lin Tianmin asked: "So you also want to take this road?"
Jiang Zhanghao said: "How is it possible? I'm just telling you about this.
These people went to Amerikan It would not end well. SpaceX took away their valuable things and either kicked them out or marginalized them.
With Amerikan's vigilance, it is impossible for them to participate. Go to any of SpaceX’s core businesses.
If I join Guangjia Aerospace, even if I leave here, I will never go to Amerikan again.”
"I didn't expect you to be so sober." Lin Tianmin said.
Jiang Zhanghao said: "After two years in the Lion City, plus the years when the virus was prevalent, Amerikan has long been disenchanted.
They did such a thing Isn’t that normal?
I will send you my resume later, please help me recommend it, and I will treat you to dinner next time when I return to China.”
Lin Tianmin answered very well on the other end of the phone. Simply: "No problem."
He has helped many people do this, and they are all familiar with it, including seniors, juniors and even Beihang teachers.
