Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Cao Yifei picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then continued: "If the rocket encounters some technical problems during launch, or simply has bad luck and a few rockets fall, then hundreds of millions will be wasted. . In industries like this that are too technically difficult and extremely risky, private capital rarely invests in them unless the country has policy support.”

After listening to Cao Yifei's knowledge of the aerospace field, Qiao Ruida couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in her heart. As expected of an aerospace professional, his vision is precise. There are very few private aerospace companies in China. The only one that Qiao Ruida has an impression of is Dawn Aviation, which was established in 06. It is the first private aerospace company in China. Its main business is the research and development, manufacturing, and operation of micro satellites. It has not Involves the development and manufacturing of launch vehicles. According to the original timeline, until next year, the country has issued the "Guiding Opinions on Innovating Investment and Financing Mechanisms in Key Areas to Encourage Social Investment," which for the first time proposes to encourage private capital to participate in the construction of national civil space infrastructure.

With the policy support, the door to China's commercial aerospace industry was opened. In the following years, hundreds of private aerospace companies were established one after another, many of which were aimed at Space X and spent money to develop launch vehicles. For example, the Suzaku 2 selected by Qiao Ruida as the first launch vehicle of Ruida Aerospace to be reproduced is a medium-sized liquid launch vehicle developed by the domestic private aerospace company Blue Arrow Aerospace Company. Being able to seize the title of the world's first methane rocket that successfully entered orbit from Space X, its technical strength is still very good.

"So, you are not optimistic about the future of Reda Aerospace?" Qiao Reda asked further.

“On the contrary, I am very optimistic about the future of Reda Aerospace. It is precisely because the entry barriers in the aerospace field are too high and the cost of trial and error is too high. This can block those capitals who just want to make quick money and minimize competitors. However, I still suggest that Ruida Aerospace start with the research and development of low-cost solid small rockets, and first run through the entire process of rocket development, manufacturing, launch, measurement and control, and orbit insertion. Companies such as Ruida have accumulated some technical reserves and experience. After that, if we try to develop a medium-sized liquid launch vehicle, the success rate can be greatly improved and the risks can be minimized.”

What Cao Yifei said was the path that many domestic private aerospace companies later followed, starting with the development of solid launch vehicles with a take-off weight of less than 30 tons. After success, we can undertake the launch business of some small and micro-satellites, accumulate a certain amount of funds, or use this as a basis to find financing from venture capital institutions, conduct research and development of liquid rockets, and become bigger and stronger step by step.

This is the normal development route of ordinary private aerospace companies. It takes a long time and is slow to produce results. The only advantage is stability. If Qiao Ruida was just an ordinary rich man with some spare money and wanted to create an aerospace company to realize his dream, he would operate in this way. No matter you open any company, the first thing you have to do is to survive. Only by surviving can you have the opportunity to seek development and expansion. Taking risks easily is the most undesirable. After all, not every entrepreneur has the courage of Musk to develop the Falcon rocket, and after many consecutive failures, he still dares to spend all his wealth to seize the next opportunity. Not every aerospace company is Space X. Being able to go through so many setbacks and doubts and still remain standing.

But is Qiao Ruida an ordinary rich man? Of course not. He is not only a reborn customer who understands the development trend of my country's private aerospace in the next few decades, but also has a golden finger with incredible functions. For others, the medium-sized liquid launch vehicle technology is extremely difficult and requires huge amounts of money to be researched and developed. For Qiao Ruida, it is just a matter of thought. Even Space With the support of these technologies and a certain amount of capital and talent invested, a private aerospace company with advanced technology and great prospects can be established in just one or two years.

Qiao Ruida selected a thicker one from the several documents in her hand, handed it to Cao Yifei, and said, "Old Cao, please take a look at this technical document first. You are a professional and should be able to understand that this technical document is What it means for an aerospace company.”

Cao Yifei took the document with some curiosity, opened the cover, and just glanced at the title of the document, his pupils shrank violently. Because the title of this document turned out to be "Design Plan for a Rocket Recovery System." Turning to the next page, there is a long description of the principles of rocket recovery, theoretical basis, and calculation formulas. Even Cao Yifei, a professional, has a hard time reading it. Some contents involve a lot of calculation and derivation, which cannot be verified by mental arithmetic alone. Flipping further back, there are design drawings one after another, including the design drawings of the foldable bracket system, the air rudder design drawings, the control circuit design drawings, the rocket engine design drawings that can be ignited multiple times, etc. Looking further back, Cao Yifei even saw a large number of source codes for the positioning system and recycling control system. This shows how detailed and reliable this technical information is.

"Mr. Qiao, this technical information is true. Where did you get it from? As far as I know, Space X is the only company in the world that has rocket recovery technology and used it in actual products. But this technical information There is a clear difference between the rocket recovery plan on the Internet and the Falcon series rocket recovery plan. It is really strange. "Cao Yifei is also a well-informed person, but the technical information Qiao Ruida produced is still very strange. It shocked him.

"This technical information was provided by Candace, our chief engineer of Reda Aerospace. He led his team to develop it when he was in Europe. For this, we paid him a technical licensing fee of 3500 million." Mature rocket recovery system technology cannot be developed within one or two years. In order to make the rise of Reda Aerospace not so sudden, Qiao Reda had to push the source of these technical data to a few dimensional puppets. Anyway, the real-life identities set by the system for them are quite powerful. They have the opportunity and ability to develop these things.

"Oh, I only spent 3500 million to purchase this technical information, which is too cheap. In my opinion, if this rocket recovery technology can pass the actual test of installation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth hundreds of millions. Candy Si, the name sounds like he is a foreigner. I wonder which country this Mr. Candace is from and where he worked before. Can you introduce us to him?" Cao Yifei also asked about this foreign friend who independently developed the rocket recovery system. I became interested and asked for details.

"Candace is an Englishman with a Ph.D. from Cambridge University. He once worked for the European Space Agency and was mainly responsible for launch vehicle design. Candace has been over there in the YQ area in recent days, supervising the renovation of the factory. If you want If you want to see him, you can only wait until you join Ruida Aerospace."

Hearing this, Cao Yifei's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "So, I passed the interview. Isn't this a little too hasty?" "In our country, there are many talents who understand business management. There are not many talents who understand aerospace. Those who understand both are really rare. It is my greatest luck to be able to defeat Mr. Cao. This is the appointment of the general manager of Ruida Aerospace. Take a look at the contract. In terms of remuneration, in the first two years when the company is in its infancy, the annual salary is one million, the company provides cars, and five insurances and one housing fund are all standard. After two years, the company's business is on track, and you can generate profits. Take 3% of it. "Talents are rare, especially management talents in the aerospace field. It is very difficult to find one. Now it is easy to find one. Qiao Ruida certainly does not want to let go, so the salary offered is very generous.

Cao Yifei is a very cautious person. He picked up the employment contract and studied it item by item. He found that it was a standard contract and did not find any traps. However, the salary bonuses and various benefits provided in the contract really made him very excited. Thinking of the millions owed by the bank and his wife and children who were suffering with him at home, Cao Yifei decisively picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract.

"Mr. Cao, welcome to Reda Aerospace! I understand your current situation. Let's do this. In order for you to work with peace of mind, I will ask the Finance Department to advance you a salary of 100,000 yuan. You can take it back and settle it down. My family, please negotiate a repayment plan with the bank that owes the money, and it won’t be too late to come over and take office in two days." Seeing Cao Yifei finish signing, Qiao Ruida stood up, stretched out her hand to shake his hand again, and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Qiao, for lending me a helping hand when I was at my lowest. You gave me a job with a very good income, and you were able to advance my salary for emergencies. I'm really grateful. You don't know, since the last few days I failed to start my business in 2006 and was in debt to the bank. The pressure on me was as heavy as a mountain. If it hadn't been for the persuasion of my wife and children, I would have committed suicide long ago. Now that I have this job as a general manager, I can hope to pay back the money. I can finally take off some of my burden. Don’t worry, Mr. Qiao, I will go back to the bank to negotiate the repayment. I will come to work tomorrow and work hard to get Reda Aerospace back on track as soon as possible..."

In an excited mood, Cao Yifei talked a lot. Qiao Ruida listened with a smile on her face. Until he finished talking, she then answered: "It is only a matter of time before I work hard at Ruida Aerospace and pay off my debts."

After seeing Cao Yifei off, Qiao Ruida returned to her office. Now that Ruida Aerospace has a research and development base, and the general manager and technical backbone are in place, large-scale recruitment of talents and launch base location and construction plans should also be put on the agenda.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ruida picked up the internal phone and called the HR manager Luo Na, "Manager Luo, what I mentioned to you two days ago, about entering the Beihang campus and holding a special job fair, have you contacted the school? ?”

"I have already contacted the leaders of the Beihang Employment Office. They very much welcome our group to recruit talents at their school. As long as we say hello to their employment office in advance, we can go to Beihang to recruit people at any time. But they also ask our Ruida Group, I made a small request, that is, their school would like to invite you, Mr. Qiao, to give a speech to their current students. The subject is not limited, but it should be related to aerospace. "

After the new century, major colleges and universities have repeatedly expanded their enrollment. The accumulation of more than ten years has continued to the present. The number of college graduates every year has seriously exceeded the number of employers' needs, and the employment situation has been unprecedentedly severe. As a university specializing in aeronautics and astronautics, Beihang University is also a key university in the country’s “Double First-Class”, “985 Project” and “211 Project”, so there is no problem in ensuring the employment rate of graduates. However, it is still difficult for those undergraduate graduates to find jobs with corresponding majors and good wages. It is now March, and the graduation season of the new year is approaching. Major universities in Beijing have organized campus job fairs and double selection fairs for graduates, contacting major companies to recruit talents on campus. We will do our best to provide employment opportunities for our graduates. Excellent companies like Ruida Group are naturally invited by major universities in the capital.

Ruida is a company that has just completed its collectivization and has a huge talent gap. After receiving these invitations, all comers will naturally be accepted. Almost every on-campus job fair in key universities will send people to participate, and from the large number of graduates, some talents with excellent academic performance and outstanding abilities will be selected. Sign in to the company to fill job gaps. But this is the first time I have gone to a university alone to hold a special job fair.

"Beihang University is an aerospace school, and I majored in chip design, with different majors. They invited me to give a lecture. What can I talk about?" Qiao Ruida is still a student at Peking University and has always maintained her enthusiasm. Looking at the problem with a student's mentality, he has not yet realized how dazzling and influential his title of the richest man in the country is. Did you know that Lao Ma, Xiao Ma, and the bosses of major real estate and bottled water companies all have the experience of giving speeches in colleges and universities after becoming the richest man in the country. How high are their academic qualifications and how rich their professional knowledge is? Come on, not many of these people have undergraduate degrees. Being invited to give lectures in major universities is not because their aura of being the richest man shines too brightly.

"Mr. Qiao, the other party did not limit the topic of the speech. It talks about entrepreneurship, aerospace, or the Internet. It is completely arbitrary. Otherwise, Mr. Qiao, you can go out and give more pictures to those students from Beihang University in your speech. Let’s talk about the great development prospects of our newly established Reda Aerospace Company, which will also be helpful for our special recruitment. “The newly established Reda Aerospace Company needs to recruit at least tens of thousands of talents. Rona, who was in charge of this recruitment task, was under a lot of pressure. Now that she had the opportunity to enter Beihang University and hold a special job fair, she naturally didn't want to let it go. (End of chapter)
