Chapter 965 - Eighty-six engines

Someone once said that the president is actually the rich American tycoon, the big steward who changes every eight years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although this statement is a bit extreme, the president and White House officials are indeed responsible for reconciling the contradictions between various interest groups to make the majority of the rich profitable in exchange for their support for themselves.

Thanks to his young age, in the year since he founded the company, Han Xuan has been smooth sailing most of the time.

But it's not absolute.

Occasionally, people who are offended by him will also use some small means in secret.

For example, Ruihui Pharmaceutical, which is looking for connections everywhere and throwing dirty water on Snow Mountain Investment Company in public, and Ford Group, which recently announced that it will no longer provide technical support to Han's Automobile Group.

and Motorola, which is suing Hope Technology for infringing its own patent rights and trying to ban the sale of blueberry phones, and so on.

This white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, Han Xuangang authorized the right to use the SMS patent to Motorola, and they bit him back.

Fortunately, most of the patents used in Blueberry mobile phones have been legally authorized by Motorola in advance, and they just want to use this despicable means to slow down the progress of Blueberry mobile phone market expansion, and have not caught real evidence.

Han Xuan rarely cares about these messy things, and leaves them to the company's professional managers to deal with, so life seems very indifferent.

In fact, these "fragrant buns" he has have been stared at by a group of hungry wolves, waiting for an opportunity to prepare to start.

Therefore, he has recently started to build an underground business empire in the Republic of Maldives to prepare for future crises that may occur at any time......

Lockheed-Martin Space Systems, formerly known as Lockheed.

Founded in 1912, it is currently one of the world's largest arms manufacturers, and its products include fighter jets, missiles, satellites, aircraft, etc., and occupies an important position in the California consortium.

Han Xuan has always liked to call it Lockheed Martin, but in fact, this company only merged with Martin Marietta this year and changed its name to Lockheed Martin, which was formerly just Lockheed.

After months of arrangement, after spending countless efforts.

Han Xuan's SpaceX company, with the help of the old man, has always opened up relations with the Russian government.

With the authorization of the current President of Russia, Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin, the batch of NK-33 and NK-34 rocket engines, which totaled 86 units and was stored in the warehouses of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau in Russia, was legally purchased.

In the next three years, a total of 230 million US dollars will be injected to establish a new company with the Russian Power Machinery Research Consortium.

The funds will be used to continue the research and development of the RD-180 high-thrust rocket engine, which was not completed during the former Soviet era.

The Russian government has invested in technology and equipment, accounting for 40 percent of the company's shares, which is the final share ratio determined after three months of negotiations.

The name of the company is "RS" and it is headquartered in the suburbs of Moscow.

Don't ask why it's called this name, anyway, when Han Xuan suddenly knew that he had an extra company under his name, the name had already been set.

Those aerospace experts who were previously intercepted by Russian intelligence agencies and were not allowed to leave the country will go to work at the RS Rocket Research Institute, which is also considered the overseas research and development department of SpaceX.

The total price of the 86 rocket engines is $357 million.

The average price of one unit is less than $4.2 million, which is not cheap, but it is not expensive compared to similar models of rocket engines produced by American companies.

The most important thing is that there is no place to buy such a large number of ready-made rocket engines, and Han Xuan can sell them to other companies for about 5.5 million US dollars, and I believe that many people will be willing to take over.

Anyway, as long as this thing is preserved, it won't expire for decades, and if it can't be used so much by then, it can be sold again.

The purchase cost of more than 300 million US dollars will be handed over to the Russian government in five years, so the financial pressure that Han Xuan needs to bear at present is not large.

Now that Russia has reduced its military spending again and again, it is possible to exchange what was left over from the Soviet era for money, and Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin, the first president of Russia after the collapse, is very happy about this.

Han Xuan previously thought that if he could easily get these rocket engines, in his opinion, Russia, which could even throw small nuclear bombs in a suitcase, would be very easy to deal with.

It's a pity that the best time has been missed, and the chaos there is gradually returning to normal.

The ghost general of the Ministry of National Defense told him that if there were less than 10 units in small batches, there might be a way to get them, but with so many rocket engines, it would be a fool's dream to want to ship them out of Russia without realizing it.

Han Xuan felt that it was good to go through the normal procedures, at least the way was open, there was no need to hide it, and the RS Rocket Research Institute could avoid trouble in the future.

The rocket engine technology of the former Soviet Union even slightly surpassed that of the United States, and when the RD-180 high-thrust engine was successfully developed, this research institute would make quite a lot of money, and it was not worth it to mess up.......

At the moment, on the balcony of the InterContinental Hotel in Times Square, Manhattan, New York.

Thinking that Lockheed-Martin's approach was not kind, and now that the owner of the matter has come to the door, there is also a reason to shirk his responsibility, President Clinton replied to Han Xuan:

"I don't know much about this matter, and when I go back and understand the situation, I will think of a way to help you solve it as much as possible, there should be no problem.

I encourage private capital to develop this market, the current space shuttle project is too expensive, the government's financial burden is already heavy, and your efforts will help alleviate some of the pressure on the country......"

When Han Xuan heard this, he understood that it should be no problem to transport those rocket engines back to China, and said with a smile: "Thank you again for your help."

Also, the CIA has been in contact with my company many times, which has caused me a lot of trouble.

They wanted me to authorize the opening of the main server port of HOPE Technology, allowing the CIA to access and view user profiles.

I'd love to help, but if this leak is out, it will be devastating to my company's reputation, and users will never tolerate privacy violations.

I can't say yes, and I believe that other Internet companies won't say yes......"

Headache Han Xuan's endless questions.

The director of the CIA was personally appointed by Clinton, and the person who can sit in that position must be the president's most trusted confidant.

Clinton had a lot to say about this, and said: "It's really a little bit inappropriate, and I'll talk to Director Deutsch."

Just pretend it didn't happen, and don't tell anyone about it.

Well, lo and behold, the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Cuba has arrived.

I'm going to go and receive him first, and we'll talk when I have time......"

After saying that, he left as if he were fleeing.

Clinton smiled and said a few words, then left.

Han Xuan solved those troubles, was in a good mood, didn't rush back to the banquet hall, and stood on the balcony to watch the night view.

Mr. Michael Bloomberg, the future mayor of New York, the founder, majority shareholder and executive officer of Bloomberg News, walked up with a wine glass.

The voice reached Han Xuan's ears:

"The night view is beautiful, isn't it?

Times Square was chaotic a few years ago, and it's a big change here.

I just saw President Clinton talking to you for a long time, what are you talking about?" )
