Reborn: Billionaire in College

"Ahem!" Seeing that the two were addicted to acting and were arguing until they were almost red in the face, Chen Pingjiang interrupted. "You two don't have to test my sincerity and determination. Just tell me whether you will take this job or not. Besides, Musk and Bezos can spend money, so can I."

"I might as well tell you that the new company in the future will be divided into the Beijing R&D Center, Anxi R&D Center, Huzhou Hot Test Center, Intelligent Manufacturing Base, and Intelligent Manufacturing Factory, forming a nationwide strategic infrastructure layout, covering the full process development system and development capabilities of private commercial launch vehicles from design and development, test testing to final assembly production."

“Oh, it’s worth mentioning that I also plan to build the country’s first commercial launch site on Hainan Island.”

By the time Chen Pingjiang finished speaking, Peng Xiaobo and He Guanghui had already started to gasp.

As expected of a big boss, he really spends money.

With so much money coming in, why worry about not getting things done?

But what is the Anxi R&D Center?
"It's not that I don't trust it, but I don't have much time and energy to wait and try. In the future, the two R&D centers in Beijing and Anxi will develop at the same time, and we will use the one that develops it first."

This idea is not a spur of the moment.

SapceX started too early. After years of development and with the support of NASA, subsequent breakthroughs will come one after another.

If Chen Pingjiang doesn't do it, then don't do it. But if he does it, he will do it to the best of

He didn't dare to put all his chips on one group of people, hoping to gain benefits in the future.

Moreover, healthy competition within the company can also speed up progress.

Funding is really not a problem.

Outsiders always think that aerospace is a high-end thing and must be very expensive.

After careful research, Chen Pingjiang found that although the investment in rocket launches is large and the launch risk is high, it is not as expensive as the outside world imagines. The difficulty in developing launch vehicles lies in the long rocket management process. The most expensive part is the core infrastructure such as assembly lines and hot test benches, as well as drawing, design, simulation and a large amount of experimental investment.

The rockets themselves don't cost much.

So, compared with cars, mobile phones, or even the money invested in Huaxin International, the investment in rockets is a drop in the bucket.

Adding another R&D center would only mean paying more employees, and there is still only one hot test center.

The hot test center is not decided on a whim.

If you rent someone else's test bench, even a very routine experiment like a cold test will cost millions of yuan, not to mention that a hot test can easily cost several million yuan.

There are many benefits to having a hot test center of your own, and it can also be leased to other rocket companies in the future, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

There is nothing in Jingcheng and Anxi except R&D centers.

All other production and manufacturing test links are carried out in other provinces and cities.

For example, the aerospace manufacturing industry around Huzhou is very developed, and being adjacent to Shanghai, it is more likely to have a demonstration effect.

From the perspective of the entire launch vehicle industry chain, in addition to the upstream technical materials and rockets, the midstream involves some assembly facilities. At present, Beijing does not have those conditions, especially when it comes to mass production. Beijing does not allow similar production companies to exist.

What's more, the aerospace company is still in the planning stage. Once the project is officially launched, the news will be released.

Just wait and see, state-owned assets and local governments from all over the country will probably come to Chen Pingjiang eagerly.

The land is given for free, tax exemptions aside, low-interest loans are probably also arranged. If it were another company, it would probably not be treated this way, but Chen Pingjiang is a golden signboard, and too many people are eyeing him.

Shanghai has made a fortune from the Huaxin wafer factory, while Dongjiang, backed by Renren and Orange Technology, is almost vomiting.

Aren’t other provinces and cities jealous?
"It's a pity that we can't bring foreign capital along this time." The particularity of the aerospace industry dictates that foreign capital must stay aside, and the company's final shareholders must include state-owned companies such as XX City Military-Civilian Integration Special Comprehensive Investment, XX City High-tech Zone Investment Fund, and XX City Aviation Industry Investment Group.

"Mr. Chen, we are very willing to work under you, but we have signed a confidentiality agreement and it will take two years to declassify it." Peng Xiaobo and He Guanghui are already tempted.

Money is one thing, but the most important thing is that they see hope for domestic private aerospace in Chen Pingjiang.

In their current workplaces, they often feel that they are unable to make use of their abilities, and it is inevitable that public institutions are bloated and disorganized.

Given a good platform, who wouldn’t want to jump out and see the scenery outside?

If it were an ordinary small business trying to poach people, they would definitely be intimidated, but Chen Pingjiang had already demonstrated his determination. If they thought about it for another minute, they both suspected that they would be rejected.

Chen Pingjiang waved his hand nonchalantly: "I have already solved your worries. You can just go to your original unit to resign. No one will stop you. In addition, I need you to fill in the R&D center team as soon as possible. You can recruit the missing people from the surrounding research institutes or design institutes."

Peng Xiaobo clicked his tongue, thinking that Mr. Chen really had connections.

But think about it, Lao Li is his classmate, and now he is the full-time secretary of the leader of the Space Administration. Without the leader's approval, how could Lao Li act as a matchmaker?
As for whether it would cause a landslide for the national team, Peng Xiaobo was not worried at all.

The total number of employees of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation is as high as 40. According to Chen Pingjiang's requirement of people to form a R&D team, this number is just a drop in the ocean for the national team.

After discussing the salary issue, Peng Xiaobo and his partner patted their chests and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I will interview my friends in the system one by one and select only the best and outstanding ones to build the framework of the R&D center in the shortest possible time."

Chen Pingjiang nodded and pointed at Xu Rui beside him: "His name is Xu Rui, he is my personal secretary. He will be stationed in Beijing for the next half month, responsible for registering the company, preparing the headquarters and recruiting people in the early stage. I will send the finance and HRD over in two days."

After explaining all this, Chen Pingjiang left the cafe first, leaving behind Xu Rui who looked excited.

Although the task assigned by the big boss is small, it represents a certain degree of recognition. It is also like an imperial envoy who has obtained the imperial sword, so I have to do the job well.

"Engineer Peng and Engineer He, why don't we accompany you back to complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible? Boss Chen has said that as long as you submit your resignation report, they will let you go."

……

Chen Pingjiang left the capital that day and went to Anxi, intending to look for Zhang Xiaoping, the deputy chief designer who currently lived in the Anxi Aerospace Propulsion Institute.

Zhang Xiaoping may not be the most talented person in the Anxi Aerospace Propulsion Institute, but he is definitely the most suitable one for Chen Pingjiang at the moment.

After all, he is the deputy chief designer of cryogenic propellant engine models. He is engaged in the design of liquid oxygen-kerosene high-pressure regenerative combustion and liquid oxygen-methane engine systems, and has participated in the demonstration of many cryogenic engine projects.

On the note given by Lao Li, Chen Pingjiang also saw a name that interested him - Wang Jianmeng.

This guy is a big shot!
He was a senior engineer in aerospace system engineering in the Satellite Launch and Tracking System Department of Dongda University, and later served as the chairman of Blue Arrow Aerospace. He has participated in and organized the launch missions of various types of rockets and satellites. He has nearly 40 years of work experience in this field and is now the vice president of Asia Pacific Mobile Communications Satellite Company.

He organized, commanded, planned and coordinated rocket and satellite launch missions, and participated in organizing the launch of various types of rockets, satellites and foreign satellites.

The experience value is directly maxed out.

Once this person comes in, the shortcoming of insufficient firing experience will be filled directly. (End of this chapter)
