Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 929 It’s funny, looking for satellites all over the world
When Tianzhu people do something, they often make a fuss before the matter is completed, which is known to the whole world.

I don’t know whether it is to put pressure on several potential manufacturers, or to let the domestic people know that the relevant departments have been working hard.

Anyway, there is already a lot of buzz about their plan to purchase heavy transport helicopters in large quantities.

There is news in this regard on the military channels of various portal websites.

As a result, more people have focused their attention on heavy transport helicopters.

The reputation of Daystar Technology's Kunpeng and Eagle heavy transport helicopters has naturally increased accordingly.

And Ba Tie, who was next to Tianzhu, couldn't help but arrange for someone to come over and contact Daystar Technology.

Although they can also purchase related equipment from the United States, they also know that the price will definitely be higher than that of China.

So after a little analysis and comparison, they focused on Venus Technology.

Of course, the quantity they purchased was definitely not as large as Tianzhu's.

But after coming to Venus Technology for an inspection, they placed an order for five Kunpeng heavy-lift transport helicopters. This was an unexpected surprise for Venus Technology.

The reason why I chose Kunpeng instead of the Eagle is actually very simple.

If you buy Kunpeng, it will be delivered this year.

If you buy the Eagle, it will not be delivered until the second half of next year at the earliest.

After all, even if it is mass-produced within this year, priority must be given to relevant departments in China, and it is impossible to produce various export orders right away.

"Mr. Cao, Pakistan Railway's purchase of Kunpeng heavy transport helicopters has given me some inspiration. In the future, I can focus more on countries with border conflicts."

"Whether the country is financially wealthy or not, it actually does not affect their purchase of new military equipment."

"I even think it can promote conflicts of public opinion in some places and promote the sales of our various aircraft."

For Nanshan-based companies, the overall export ratio of various products is not low.

Among China's industrial enterprises, they even have a high proportion of exports.

However, Venus Technology's export ratio is relatively low.

Most of the products are digested domestically.

It's hard to say whether this situation is good or bad.

However, Zhao Siyu definitely hopes to increase the export business of various products of Venus Technology.

"There are actually quite a lot of ways to export military products."

"In addition to contacting some customers ourselves, we can also cooperate with several companies such as Poly that are qualified to export military products."

"They might be able to give us an extra surprise."

Although sales channels are very important, Daystar Technology cannot completely hand them over.

But some channels are exclusive resources for others. If you don’t cooperate with them, you may not get a piece of the pie.

So it’s better to find someone to cooperate with and let’s expand the market together.

Cao Yang thought about this very clearly.

Venus Technology's products are all technically competitive, and we are not afraid of losing our right to speak if our channels are controlled by others.

Only those products that have many similar manufacturers on the market are more afraid of such things.

"That's true. They have very good relations with some people from many countries in Africa and Southeast Asia."

"It should still be very beneficial for promoting our military products."

Zhao Siyu is also considered an industry insider. Although he has not personally gone overseas to promote, he is naturally familiar with many things in the industry.

Regarding Cao Yang's plan, he was ready to take action immediately.

……

In the past month or two, a lot of things have happened in the global aerospace industry.

In particular, the rocket launch frequency of Venus Technology and Space Exploration Technology Company is now very high.

It can be said that any one of them can kill the number of rocket launches of other countries in the world in an instant.

Under such circumstances, some countries naturally hope to increase their presence.

Korea is one of the typical examples.

After Venus Technology helped North Korea launch a reconnaissance satellite, Korea hoped to have its own reconnaissance satellite.

They don't need reconnaissance satellites covering the world like the United States and polar bears do.

At this stage, they only need to be able to monitor some conditions of their neighbors at any time.

After more than a year of hard work, the reconnaissance satellite developed by Korea was finally successfully produced, and the American Space Exploration Technology Company was entrusted to help launch it.

Normally, although the launch frequency of Space Exploration Technology's rockets is lower than that of Venus Technology, it can be considered that there are several launches every month.

So under normal circumstances, this kind of launch will not attract too much attention.

This time was different. After SpaceX launched the satellite for Korea at the Kennedy Space Center in the United States, it quickly announced that the launch was a success.

Goryeo also followed up with an official announcement of this matter.

For the sensitive Goryeo, this kind of thing is definitely worth writing about and celebrating.

However, within a few hours, Goryeo discovered that its satellite was "missing".

In fact, they have no contact with their satellites from beginning to end.

This time, the situation immediately became awkward.

"Diles, Korea thinks that our launch was not successful, so there is no way to contact the satellite."

"Now this matter has been reported by the media in many countries. We need to figure out the situation as soon as possible."

When Musk learned that the Korean satellite was missing, he immediately asked the person in charge of the Space Exploration Technology Company.

If this matter is not done well, it will affect the company's reputation.

When the competition between Space Exploration Technology Company and Daystar Technology is in full swing, Musko definitely does not want this to happen.

So no matter what the situation was, he wanted to figure it out quickly.

"Masco, I have investigated this matter. The satellite has definitely entered the predetermined orbit as planned."

"As for why the signal was not obtained, I think it is Korea's own problem."

"This time it is a military reconnaissance satellite produced by a subsidiary of the Samsung Group in cooperation with the relevant departments of Goryeo."

"Although Samsung's technology is very good in many aspects, its experience in reconnaissance satellites is obviously very little."

"The conditions during satellite testing on the ground are completely different from those in space."

"Now that the satellite has disappeared after launch, I think it is Korea's own problem, not ours."

Diels will definitely not admit at this time that the Space Exploration Technology Company destroyed Korea's satellite when it launched the rocket.

Although this possibility is not impossible, it is difficult to prove which statement is correct.

But Diers would never think that he was wrong.

This affects all aspects.

He also felt that Korea did not have the courage to question America's leading companies.

"I also think that the truth should be like this. Korea's own satellite design capabilities are not good. Now that the satellite has lost its signal after it was launched, and I don't know where it went, it wants to blame us."

"We definitely cannot accept this."

Musko fully agrees with Diels.

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter what the facts are, but what everyone insists on is the most important thing.

"I heard that the Starlink satellites from Venus Technology not only have normal communication satellites, but also some satellites carry camera equipment and even electronic jamming equipment."

"So they can easily use Starlink satellites to carry out some space reconnaissance missions."

"I think the company can also produce some similar satellites in the future, which will make it easier for us to monitor the surrounding conditions."

Diels also personally participated in the collision with the Chang'e space station some time ago, so he knows a lot of information.

Although Space Exploration Technology is currently cooperating with Boeing, NASA and other companies to study interference satellites.

But Diers feels that it is also necessary to install reconnaissance satellites, or simple photography and surveillance equipment on some satellites.

If that were the case, if Goryeo's satellite disappeared this time, they could quickly come up with evidence to show that the satellite was still in its intended orbit, but there was no signal.

That's not SpaceX's problem.

Their Falcon 9 has successfully carried out dozens of launch missions, how could it go wrong?
The one with the problem must be Gao Li himself.

"We will also discuss with NASA later to poach some of their original reconnaissance satellite design talents."

Musko soon turned to NASA again.

Only when you truly poach people into your own company will you be your own.

Otherwise, even if it is possible to conduct technical exchanges, it will be almost meaningless.

Compared with the calmness of the Space Exploration Technology Company, Korea is very anxious.

They have been in continuous contact with the satellite for a day, but there has been no response.

"President Li, the United States insists that it is a problem with our satellite design, so we can't get in touch."

Where did the satellite go?
This is definitely the thing that has attracted the most attention in Korea in recent days.

Even after this news reached China, many netizens came up with many funny jokes in conjunction with the program "Where Are We Going, Dad?" to make fun of Korea.

Especially in recent years, under the influence of Nanshan Group companies, there has been a lot of negative news about Goryeo on the Chinese Internet.

This is a rather strange country in itself, with low self-esteem and pride.

After many of his true colors were exposed, he became even more angry.

So there are really many netizens in China who really dislike them now.

Of course, there must be some die-hard fans.

"It's impossible. Our Samsung communications technology is world-leading. How could there be problems with the satellites we design and produce?"

"There must have been some accident at the Space Exploration Technology Company during the launch process, which damaged the satellite."

Faced with doubts from relevant departments in Goryeo, Li Zairong will definitely not admit that it is Samsung Electronics' problem.

This is a shameful thing.

Samsung will never admit it unless there is irrefutable evidence.

This is considered a normal situation.

"I have also contacted the Space Exploration Technology Company and raised this point of view, but the other party completely disagrees with this statement." "They have launched many satellites in the past and have not had similar problems."

"So it is determined that the problem is with the satellites we provide."

After hearing this, Li Zairong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the other party has no evidence that it is a satellite problem, so there is still room for wrangling in this matter.

Li Zairong knew that it would be very difficult to get the United States to recognize his rocket launch.

Let alone the lack of evidence, even if there is evidence, it is estimated that there will be no results in the end.

So being with Xini is the best ending.

Anyway, the relevant departments in Korea have already paid the production costs of the satellite to Samsung Electronics.

Even if there is a loss, it is not Samsung's loss.

"Our satellites have been fully confirmed when they are shipped, and many people have signed on them."

"All kinds of tests are clear, but now there is no way to contact him."

"This is clearly not a satellite issue."

After feeling confident, Li Zairong continued to argue with the representatives of the relevant departments of Goryeo.

With Samsung's status in Korea, there is no need to worry as long as it is not a real issue.

"Space Exploration Technology Corporation has also proposed a plan, which is for them to help us design a reconnaissance satellite, and then they will ensure that the satellite can communicate normally after it is launched."

Normally, if Korea does not ask Samsung Electronics to produce satellites, then there is actually no need to mention this matter to Li Zaairong.

However, considering the special status of Samsung Group in Goryeo, representatives of relevant departments would naturally not not tell Li Zaairong any information at all.

That way is not a problem with Samsung, but a problem with yourself.

"SpaceX will help us design and launch reconnaissance satellites?"

"Then will this satellite be ours or theirs?"

Li Zairong immediately asked a very critical question.

It is really a question whether the control of the satellite designed by the other party will really be in the hands of Korea at that time.

After all, it is no secret that the United States will leave backdoors in some of its products.

Even if the F-35 fighter jets purchased by Goryeo can take off freely, it is not up to Goryeo itself.

"We can definitely use it normally, but the other party's price is a bit high."

Hearing this, Li Zairong couldn't help but ask, "How much does one cost?"

Li Zairong must be very clear about the cost and price of the reconnaissance satellite designed by Samsung for Goryeo.

But he was a little unsure about what was going on in the United States.

Although I have investigated this information before, it ranges from hundreds of millions of dollars to more than one billion dollars. The range of numbers is too large.

"What we need is a small and medium-sized reconnaissance satellite, so it only costs 3 million U.S. dollars. Adding various launch costs, we can finally get it done for million U.S. dollars."

Hearing this, Li Zairong fell silent.

Although he is not very clear about the actual cost in the United States.

But he still knew some information about the reconnaissance satellite that North Korea was looking for to cooperate with Daystar Technology.

With 3 million US dollars, this can allow Venus Technology to help launch several reconnaissance satellites of the same type, right?
But he also knew that it was definitely impossible for Gao Li to go to Venus Technology.

This knife can only be endured.

……

"Mr. Cao, the satellite in Korea is lost. Have you heard about this?"

Qian Junfeng now meets or talks on the phone with Cao Yang every now and then.

The cooperation between the two parties is becoming closer.

Things like satellite launches by various countries are actually no small matter, and the aerospace industry will definitely pay attention to it.

In particular, the satellites launched by countries around China are military reconnaissance satellites. To put it bluntly, they are spy satellites.

In this case, everyone's attention will naturally be higher.

It can be said that China has been monitoring the dynamics of the satellite that Korea commissioned the Space Exploration Technology Company to launch since its launch.

Therefore, Qian Junfeng has a relatively good understanding of the overall situation of this matter.

"I heard, where did the satellite go? It's almost become a joke."

"This kind of thing is not something that a small country like Goryeo should do."

Cao Yang has always disliked Goryeo.

Enterprises throughout the Nanshan Group are very aware of this.

So if you pay a little attention, you will find that there is almost no cooperative relationship between companies in the Nanshan system and companies in Goryeo.

As long as other cooperation plans can be found, no one will be so determined to cooperate with Korean manufacturers.

In the early years, due to various reasons, individual semiconductor components were purchased from Samsung.

After an alternative was introduced later, this situation disappeared immediately.

If something is good at the top, people below will definitely follow.

In many companies, if leaders like to play basketball, there will be various basketball activities.

After a new leader likes to play football, various football games will pop up. At this time, all basketball fans seem to disappear.

Then another leader likes swimming, and the hobby of heroes from all walks of life also immediately becomes swimming.

Cao Yang didn't like Goryeo, and the employees of the Nanshan Department, whether sincerely or not, showed that they didn't like Goryeo.

The company does not buy Korean products for procurement, and even employees’ homes do not buy Korean products.

If an average company does this, it will definitely have no impact.

But the Nanshan Group is not an ordinary enterprise. There are hundreds of thousands of families directly behind it.

Considering the impact of the entire industry chain, that is millions of families.

It can be said that Cao Yang defeated Goryeo's influence in China with one fell swoop.

No wonder many companies in Goryeo hate companies in the Nanshan system very much.

"It's true. The Korean people think very highly of themselves. They think that if North Korea can develop reconnaissance satellites, they can do it too."

"Not to mention that North Korea's reconnaissance satellite is due to the contribution of your Venus Technology."

"Their technologies in the aerospace field alone are not of the same level."

"I'm a little curious about how Goryeo will end."

Qian Junfeng now looks like he is watching the fun and does not mind the big deal.

Although the main target of Goryeo's launch of reconnaissance satellites is not China, it is definitely not a good thing for China.

No country wants its neighbor to have reconnaissance satellites.

China is naturally no exception.

Unless these satellites can be controlled by themselves.

"I heard that Samsung Electronics helped design and produce this satellite. I think after this incident, Samsung Electronics' development pace in the satellite industry will slow down."

"For this kind of industry, Korea will most likely still rely on the United States."

"It is more likely that we will seek in-depth cooperation with the United States in the future."

Cao Yang's speculation is very close to the facts.

However, some people have their own thoughts after seeing this news.

"Joseph, please contact Korea to see if they are interested in cooperating with us to produce satellites."

As the director of the European Space Agency, Werner has always wanted to increase the European Space Agency's influence in the aerospace field.

There are only a few companies in the world that are capable of designing satellites, and the European Space Agency is naturally one of them.

After all, this is an organization that concentrates the efforts of several European countries. There is no problem in designing a satellite or something.

“The satellite that Korea lost this time was designed by Samsung Electronics and then commissioned by Space Exploration Technology Corporation to launch it.”

"If we want to grab orders from Samsung or Space Exploration Technology Company, it will probably be a bit difficult."

Joseph felt that this matter was too difficult and he was not confident that he could handle it.

So the question was thrown out from the beginning.

This can be regarded as a way of self-protection.

Otherwise, after taking the job, it would be out of character for you to mention difficulties again.

“There are definitely difficulties, but it’s not without opportunities.”

"Samsung has a lot of business in Europe. We can communicate directly with Samsung and redesign a new generation of reconnaissance satellites together."

"It is not impossible to consider leaving the launch mission to Space Exploration Technology Corporation."

For Werner, he hopes to have more opportunities to train the technical team.

Otherwise, relying on Europe itself, it feels like there are fewer and fewer opportunities.

If technicians and production personnel in the military industry never have the opportunity to train themselves, they will soon be unable to keep up with the times.

There are many countries in the world that are interested in developing satellites, but not many are suitable for the European Space Agency to cooperate with them.

Even if targets like Persia and North Korea came to visit him, Werner would not dare to nod.

"Then I'll try my best to give it a try, but I don't know what Samsung's attitude towards cooperation is."

The boss has already put forward a specific plan, so Joseph is naturally not suitable to refuse.

Otherwise, it's a matter of work attitude.

Within any organization, if you have a problem with your attitude toward the leader, you will definitely be dealt with.

Even the relatively Buddhist European Space Agency is no exception.

With the small actions of the European Space Agency, the dynamics of the international aerospace industry are becoming more and more interesting.

Cao Yang, who has been focusing on Daystar Technology recently, has made an important decision again.
