"Minister, there's something new here." Han Song, head of the Economic Investigation Division of the Ministry of Security, knocked on the door of Minister Jiang Luo's room, smiled wryly and put a piece of information on his desk.

Jiang Luo put down the matter in his hand, took the information with a little headache, rubbed his temples with his hands, and asked uncertainly, "Why is there so much in your Economic Investigation Office recently?" I've been here several times this month, and I've never been like this before! ”

"This is something that cannot be helped, and the rapid economic development in recent years has led to more problems." Han Song said helplessly, "A few years ago, there weren't so many things, and I was willing to sit in the office and drink tea every day!" ”

What Han Song said is true, in the past, the domestic economic situation was relatively simple, there were very few crimes in this area, and there were not many things worthy of using the intelligence department to conduct in-depth investigations, so the Ministry of Security basically did not know much about such a situation. However, in the past decade or so, due to the deepening of reform and opening up, the economic situation has become more and more complicated, and more and more problems have been involved.

"What's going on this time?" Jiang Luo flipped through the thick printing paper and asked casually.

"It's not that powerful thing!" Han Song muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh-" As soon as Jiang Luo heard Han Song's words, he immediately knew who it was, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, what happened to this Fan Wuxi? It's really worry-free!

Because of Fan's illness, Jiang Luo has already gone to the old chief's house twice, hoping that this time the matter will not make too much trouble, otherwise he will go again, and it is estimated that the old chief will die of laughter.

However, after Jiang Luo carefully read the information, his brows suddenly condensed into a pimple, and after a long time, he sighed, "Alas, why is my luck so weak?" ”

Two hours later, Jiang Luo appeared at the old chief's house again.

"You have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace! Temporary cramming, talking about people like you! The old chief pointed at Jiang Luo with a smile, and then said solemnly, "Three communication satellites!" What a big deal! ”

Jiang slightly said cautiously, "The key is that we don't know what he wants, after all, satellites are different from other things, three communication satellites can establish a global communication network, and this is specially made by the American Hughes Company for Australia's Osset, and the surname Neng is the best at present!" He bought three at once, what would he do with them? ”

The old chief shook his head and said, "It's not me who said, you guys are always used to making a big fuss!" This kind of satellite, no matter who buys it, will always be sent to the sky! Even if Fan Wuxian didn't buy it, someone else would buy it sooner or later, and there was always one on our head, so it didn't matter! The important thing is that we should see that Fan Wuxian is very open in the international market, and through him, we can do some things well! ”

Jiang Luo nodded incessantly, wanting to hear any specific instructions from the old chief, but the old chief was obviously unwilling to express his opinions at will, and only instructed him to talk about this issue with the people of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the Great Wall Company.

So Jiang Luo left the old chief's house in a daze, and found Deputy Director Zhang of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense with a depressed face, that is, the original Director Zhang.

"Minister Jiang?" Deputy Director Zhang looked at Jiang Luo with some surprise and felt very strange.

Although the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the Ministry of Security also often deal with each other, it is mainly official contact, and the minister of the Ministry of Security has never come to the door to find his own affairs, so Deputy Director Zhang welcomed Jiang Luo to his office, closed the door, made tea, and then asked, "Minister Jiang is busy with guidance, but what is the important matter?" ”

"Well, I'm sorry." Jiang Luo didn't know how to start with Deputy Director Zhang for a while, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "It seems that Deputy Director Zhang, you have a good relationship with Fan Heng's family?" ”

"There's such a thing, we've known each other for more than ten years." When Deputy Director Zhang heard Jiang Luo's words, he said in his heart, how could he have time to ask this? Could it be that Fan Wuxian has caused some kind of basket again?

Deputy Director Zhang watched Fan Wuxian grow up since he was a child, so he naturally knew who was most likely to cause trouble in Fan Heng's family.

"That's good, that's good." Jiang Luo said again and again, in fact, he didn't know what the old chief asked him to come over to talk about this matter, but the old chief ordered it, and he couldn't help but do it, so he told Deputy Director Zhang what he had learned.

"What? Fan Wuxian bought three satellites made by Hughes? It's the kind made specifically for Osset?! After hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang immediately stood up and asked with some excitement.

Jiang Luo replied, "Anyway, the contract has been signed, and it is said that the delivery will be possible in March next year." ”

"That's a good thing!" Deputy Director Zhang walked around the room, ignoring the fact that Minister Jiang was on the side, obviously a little overjoyed.

"Why?" Minister Jiang didn't understand the problem and asked with some curiosity.

"This matter-" Deputy Director Zhang originally wanted to say that it should be kept secret, but after thinking about Jiang Luo's Minister of Security, and besides, the news was still sent by someone, so he changed his tone and said, "It doesn't matter if I talk to you, in fact, our subordinate Great Wall Company is dealing with Americans and Australians, just to launch the Australian Star made by Hughes Corporation in the United States for Australia's Osset." ”

Oh, as soon as he said that, Minister Jiang understood.

The Great Wall Corporation is a touchstone for the domestic push to the international commercial satellite launch market, first, it can strengthen its own technical capabilities through commercial satellite launches, and constantly improve its theoretical level in the process of relaunching, so that the domestic carrier rocket technology can reach the international advanced level, and second, it can also improve China's status and reputation in the international community, and earn some foreign exchange by the way.

It should be noted that even if the Great Wall Company does not undertake foreign business, some research work still needs to be carried out, and now it has undertaken the business of launching international commercial satellites. It is to kill other people's pigs, exercise their knife skills, and earn a little slaughter fee.

"You mean to say?" Minister Jiang looked at Deputy Director Zhang, whose eyes were shining, and guessed, "Are you going to take over the launch of Fan Wuxi's three satellites?" ”

Deputy Director Zhang nodded again and again, "Yes! This kind of skill can exercise the technical growth experience, but also make some foreign exchange things, why don't we do it? I have to talk to Fan Wuxian about this matter in person! ”

Jiang Luo thought to himself, no wonder the old chief wanted to talk to the people of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense himself, it seems that they need this business very much! It is no wonder that although the domestic satellite launch quotation is much higher than that of foreign companies, and the launch price of one satellite is also in the range of 36 million US dollars, the launch cost of three satellites is hundreds of millions of dollars! I want to let the specific operation of the Great Wall Company know about this, but I have to come over and rob people!

However, Jiang Luo was still a little worried, and asked Deputy Director Zhang, "Will this kind of thing affect national security?" After all, you don't know what he's going to do with these satellites! ”

Deputy Director Zhang sighed, and then he reacted, sitting opposite him was the minister of the Ministry of Security, he thought about it for a while and said, "Security issues, I don't think so!" These are not military satellites, nor are they resource exploration satellites, but just communication satellites, you know, many of our domestic communication services also need to rent the satellite bandwidth of foreign companies. If Fan Wuxian is planning to engage in satellite communication services, it is also a good thing for us, after all, his price is not too dark, with this comparison, some foreign companies that cannot report the price can only reduce the price of their services. ”

Jiang Luo nodded, thinking that Deputy Director Zhang was an expert in this area after all, and he knew the way better than himself.

"However, if you want to engage in communication services in China, it is not realistic for the time being, after all, the domestic policy has not yet liberalized this part of the content, so I think he is at most engaged in transponder leasing. When you have time, you can help him contact this business, which can be regarded as playing a dozen favor cards. Deputy Director Zhang touched his chin and thought.

After Jiang Luo chatted with Deputy Director Zhang for a while, and after confirming that there were no major security problems, he said goodbye and left, while Deputy Director Zhang began to contact the leaders of the Great Wall Company, ready to discuss specifically about Fan Wuxi's purchase of three communication satellites at once, and then Deputy Director Zhang called Fan Heng again.

So half an hour later, Fan Wuxian received a call from his father Fan Heng.

"Isn't it?!" Fan Wuxi was amazed, "I only decided to settle down here on an impromptu basis, Dad, how did you know the phone number of my room?" ”

Fan Heng said on the other side, "As long as you are in the country, there is still a place where you can't find it?" I'm now able to get to the head of security's personal phone at any time! It is estimated that among the mayors of these prefecture-level cities in China, I am the most treated! Hum! ”

"Damn!" Fan Wuxi immediately scolded, "Is it the gray grandsons of the Ministry of Security monitoring my phone again?!" Last time, I helped them get 200 million US dollars in activity funds for nothing, and this is a bunch of white-eyed wolves! ”

After Fan Wuxian scolded and scolded for five minutes, he remembered that his father on the other side was still listening, so he asked, "Dad, what are you looking for me?" Long-distance is very expensive, you won't be in the unit again, right? It's not good to take advantage of the public's house! ”

Fan Heng was stunned for a long time by Fan Wuxi's words on the other side, and he didn't come to his senses until Fan Wuxian stopped, and scolded a little annoyed, "You little rabbit cub!" Said a lot of nonsense, and got you and me in, what was I going to tell you just now? Well? ”

"You see- you haven't spoken yet-" Fan Wuxian thought about it carefully, and his father Fan Heng seemed to have asked if he was there, and he really didn't have time to say anything to himself.

"Uh-" Fan Heng snorted, and then said, "By the way, I heard, how many satellites did you kid buy?" ”

Oh? Fan Wuzhi said, this matter has not been spread yet, how do you know, it seems that there is an internal annihilation around you! Dad can know something, so why don't you wear it all over the place?!

"Who did you listen to?" Fan Wuxi felt that he should dig deep and catch this guy who had betrayed himself.

"Who else? Deputy Director Zhang just called me, otherwise how would I know! You kid has the ability, you actually bought a satellite! What do you want that thing for? It's okay to spend money! Fan Heng reprimanded for a long time before he said, "But Lao Zhang told me that he can help you contact the business." ”

Oh, Fan Wuxian understands now.

It turns out that people are asking their father to disclose this information, which is nothing more than to reassure themselves, which means that we already know about your purchase of satellites, not only do we not object, but also support it, we have done our part, you are always embarrassed to push this business outside, right?

These old foxes! Fan Wuxian shook his head, deeply amused. However, this can be done, you must know that the international commercial satellite market has not been very prosperous in recent years, and the most critical problem is that the application area of satellites is too narrow.

The population of the whole of Europe is only seven or eight billion, which is not as large as the population of China alone, but the European satellite market has become saturated, and many capable and powerful companies compete for a small market, and the profits are quite thin.

The market in Chinese mainland is much larger than the whole of Europe, which is a super tempting big cake!
