Chapter 9 My Satellite, My Master, "Asking for a Monthly Pass"
[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] The leader of Hughes Company who came to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base this time was the company's executive vice president Maximus and the vice president of technology Harry Ford, and the entourage was about 60 people, all of whom were responsible for the final commissioning and installation of the satellite, in addition to more than a dozen security personnel, all of whom were said to be strong men who had retired from the US Marine Corps.
Fan Wuxian immediately made an appointment with Maximus, still in the small conference room at the base.
"Oh, dear Chinese Fan, what a pleasure to meet you!" The old Jewish man Maximus brought several tall Americans to see Fan Wuxi, and when he saw Fan Wuxi, he put a big smile on his face.
Hypocrisy, hypocrisy! Fan Wuxian was ashamed of the thickness of Maximos's face, but his mouth was not easy to deal with, and he immediately said, "Dear Mark, you are happy to see my money, right?" β
"Haha, you said it!" The old Jewish man touched his big nose in a daze, and then saw He Yun standing next to Fan Wuxi, and couldn't help but say with his eyes, "Fan, why do I have a different Chinese beauty by your side every time I see you?" β
He Yun frowned when he heard this, did he think that foreigners look like this? Talking about the train and talking nonsense, there is no seriousness at all.
Fan Wuxian laughed, "This can only show that the quality of the Chinese is relatively high, not only in the connotation, but also in the appearance." β
He Yun listened to Fan Wuxi's words, and suddenly felt that this guy was not just going to cause trouble. It is not allowed to quarrel with others, and it is estimated that when it is placed in a negotiation place with foreigners, it can also anger a few foreign devils.
Sure enough, Maximus said a little stupidly, "Okay, Chinese Fan, at this very critical moment." You called us over all of a sudden, wouldn't it be nothing important? We're very short on time! β
Fan Wuxian asked a little strangely. "You're just an executive vice president, do you need to be there to debug satellites?"
Maximos shrugged his shoulders and introduced a tall gray-haired man beside him to Fan Wuxi, "This is Mr. Harry Ford, the company's local administrative vice president, according to the company's regulations, two vice presidents must be present at the site of the satellite commissioning site for the next few days. So, as soon as I came here, it meant that the work there had to stop. β
"Well, I understand this, the system, the hateful system!" After inviting everyone to sit down, Fan Wuxian said, "What I have always hated the most is the strict company system, so my team. It has always been linked together in the loosest and most comfortable way of cooperation. Facts have proved that this extensive management model is not without merit. β
"I understand that your team is arguably one of the most successful in the world." The old Jewish man nodded in reply.
When a group of foreign devils at the scene heard this, they were quite unimpressed, a Chinese hairy child. What team do you talk about, what management model do you talk about, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue in the wind?
Maximus was a cunning old man, and seeing that his attachΓ© seemed to be a little disdainful, he solemnly introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Fan started from scratch, although he is not yet twenty years old, but the scale of his assets has exceeded the scale of many well-known old consortia in the United States. For example, Cisco, a rising star in the communications market, is only one of the companies controlled by Mr. Fan. Even among the circulating shareholders of Microsoft Corporation. Mr. Fan is also the largest one. β
Now. Those devils are much more honest, and Americans are the first to believe in them. Not God, but dollar bills.
In front of a financial magnate, Lady Liberty also had to put down the torch in her hand and then kneel down and salute.
"Well, dear Mark, dear Mr. Harry Ford, we shouldn't waste our time on these frivolous things. I have made an urgent appointment with you to see the state of my satellite, and I am very concerned about this, and I must make sure that all preparations are in order. Fan Wuxian said.
"Oh, dear Fan, I am afraid that I will not be able to meet your requirements by following the company's rules." The old Jewish man rejected Fan's request and added, "As you know, satellites are not only made up of close parts, but also involve many business secrets, and we are responsible to the shareholders of the company." β
He Yun, who was on the side, immediately frowned, it seems that the Americans are determined not to let us get in touch with the satellite, in this case, I am afraid that before the final satellite enters the cabin, there will be no chance to see the satellite, the combination of stars and arrows, if only according to the data provided on the KAO drawings, I am afraid it will be difficult to ensure its safety.
Moreover, if the people at the base are not the slightest curiosity about Hughes's satellites, they will seem a little abnormal.
Americans have always been like this, if you think about their things, they think it's normal, and they want to protest, if you don't care about their things, they think it's not normal, and they have to be crooked. All in all, all countries except the United States are vulnerable in their eyes and do not have the strength to develop high technology.
However, Fan Wuxi's ability should not be underestimated, and he immediately sneered at him, "Mark, are you so unconfident, do you think that people outside your company can thoroughly study your company's products within three days?" If that's the case, I wonder if I'm worth the hundreds of millions of dollars! β
The implication of Fan Wuxi's words is very clear, what can be seen through at a glance will certainly not have much value, and if Hughes's satellites allow Chinese to see through the mystery at a glance, they are obviously not as advanced as they advertise.
A group of foreigners were very angry after listening to Fan's words, isn't this a blatant slander of the wisdom of our Hughes employees, and a few people whispered to Harry Ford, the vice president of technology, meaning that they were dissatisfied with Fan's remarks. Shows a very strong confidence in the advantages of their own products.
Fan Wuxian provoked the fire, and sat on the side and drank tea with a smile.
Sure enough, the Americans were a little unconvinced, and after a while, after discussing with Maximus, Harry Ford said to Fan Wuxian, "Mr. Fan, we can't agree with your accusation. We, Hughes, are undoubtedly the world's top commercial satellite manufacturing companies! To dispel any misunderstanding you may have about our company. During the last three days of commissioning, we can open the satellite to your company's employees! β
"Tell me earlier. At least I'm going to have to see my satellites myself! Fan Wuxian said to them nonchalantly, "Or, I should also touch my satellite, hundreds of millions of dollars!" β
"It's okay to take a look, but it's okay to touch it!" Harry Ford said to himself, don't touch it, in case there's static electricity or something, which part will be broken. If there is no signal in the sky, whose loss is this?
In the end, the two sides agreed, and Hughes agreed that eight of Fan's employees could observe the satellite at close range, but there should be no physical contact, and no recording activities such as photographing or copying could be carried out.
After arranging for Maximus and the others to go to dinner, Fan Wuxian and He Yun immediately got in touch with the commander of the base, a lieutenant general, and the three-star general. I went to the small conference room for an urgent meeting.
After He Yun briefly introduced the meeting to everyone, he concluded, "This is the situation, in short, under Mr. Fan's clever words, Hughes Company finally agreed to open the commissioning time for the last three days, without disturbing their staff for installation and commissioning." Mr. Fan's employees can observe satellites up close. β
"That's a big win!" The base commander said with some excitement.
You must know that the technical content of commercial satellites is also very high, especially this kind of communication satellites in geosynchronous orbit, it is required that every small step can not be a little mistaken, and the satellite manufacturing companies of various countries are basically secretive about the manufacturing and final commissioning, which is also an industry rule.
It would be of great significance if we could see the commissioning process of Hughes in the last three days, even if we could not understand the internal structure and unique design of its satellites in detail, but we could still provide us with some solutions for reference.
"Comrade Xiao Fan really has a way." The admiral was also very happy and couldn't help but praise Fan Wuxian.
"But the problem with the employees of Mr. Fan's company?" The base commander asked.
"It's easy to do, we already have an agreement." The admiral nodded.
Originally in the previous stage. When Fan Wuxian was discussing with the military to steal satellites. A quid pro quo has been proposed, that is, the military will send people to help itself set up a terrestrial satellite communications service company. Help yourself to build the company's shelves, and then cultivate some of the company's own talents.
Now it's good, these people can logically follow the name of Fan Wuxi's employees, and carefully study the commissioning process of Hughes, as for the satellite itself, that is secondary.
Because, everyone's main goal this time is to build a satellite.
The admiral looked at Fan Wuxian carefully and felt that this was really a talent! I couldn't help but smile and say, "It's a pity, it's a pity!" β
"What a pity?" The base commander asked curiously.
"It's a pity that I don't have a young, beautiful and capable daughter!" The admiral said with a smile.
In addition to them, the military also provided enough manpower for Fan's new company, so that his local satellite ground communication service company could be set up smoothly.
After lunch, Fan Wuxian and He Yun swaggered to the satellite commissioning site with eight "employees", ready to take a good look at their satellites.
More than a dozen sturdy ex-marines are guarding the perimeter in full gear, dozens of technicians are surrounding various machines to test the satellite's various parameters, and about five or six workers wearing white dust-proof and anti-static clothing and transparent glass masks are climbing on the metal shelves erected on the periphery of the satellite, inspecting the open satellite interior little by little, and connecting many cable joints to various parts. Looks rather cautious.
The "employees" brought over by Fan Wuxian immediately entered their own state and carried out a naked eye tracking observation of the debugging process between the satellite and the Americans, while Fan Wuxian, accompanied by He Yun, cordially expressed his condolences to the American engineers who were busy.
Generally speaking, when engineers are at the most stressful with their work, they are most annoyed by someone interrupting them. But there is a way for Fan Wuxi. The generosity of one person sending a check for dollars made everyone smile.
"Look, that's the beauty of money." Fan Wuzhi is scattering money. On the other hand, he said to He Yun, "In the evil capitalist country, the impact of the dollar on human nature is far greater than its actual value!" β
He Yun blinked his big beautiful eyes, feeling a little confused about the guy in front of him, he really couldn't figure out how he became such a freak now? A genius child who designed a blizzard torpedo at the age of three? It's really scary to say it! Think about it, you can be considered a genius at the base, but compared to Fan Wuxi, it seems that it is not a little worse.
Alas. People are more angry than people!
However, it seems that there are also Americans who can understand Chinese, and some people heard Fan Wuxian so viciously slandering his country and political system, and immediately protested unslowly, "Boss Fan, it seems that your assets are mainly obtained in the United States, right?" This is how you evaluate a democracy and a democratic system. Isn't it a bit suspicious of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? That's a very unkind thing! β
Fan Wuxian was a little embarrassed when people said this, but his ability to change the topic was still quite clever, "Mr. Engineer, can I ask you a question?" β
"Tell me, though an ordinary person like me may not be able to answer your questions. But the American people will never refuse a plea for help. "The man was very sharp-mouthed.
Fan Wuxian pointed to the satellite and asked, "I want to ask, if you add some paint to the outside of the satellite, will it affect the overall performance of the satellite, or will it have a significant impact on the safety of the satellite itself?" β
As soon as the man heard this, he understood Fan Wuxi's intentions, and he suddenly realized, "Oh, I seem to understand what you mean. Do you want to print some of your own graphics or text on satellite displays? β
"I have to admit that you are really very smart." Fan Wuxian smiled and gave a thumbs up.
However, Fan Wuxian was very contemptuous of this guy in his heart, this is not nonsense. If it's not for writing and drawing. What am I doing with paint on top of the satellite? Is it to brush anti-rust paint? In the environment of space, I still have to worry about what kind of oxidation phenomenon will occur? Did you not study chemistry when I was in junior high school?
Oh. Like, I really didn't go to junior high school.
The man was quite happy to hear Fan Wuxi's praise, the most important thing was to receive Fan Wuxi's second check, he quietly stuffed the second check into his pocket, and then helped his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said to Fan Wuxian in a very professional tone, "In fact, we at Hughes have been committed to meeting the various needs of commercial satellite users around the world, and printing coatings on the outer surface of satellites is also an important part of our services. The special coatings provided by our company can ensure that they will not pose any threat to the safe operation of satellites, and they are also more able to cope with the test of high and low temperatures in space, and will not fade for a long time. If Mr. Fan is willing to do so, we can print the design you specified on the surface of the satellite before the final commissioning is completed. Thank you! β
"Well, your company's advertising work is very good!" Fan Wuxi's first reaction after listening to it was this.
"Thank you, in fact, for a commercial satellite manufacturer like us, advertising is also a very professional activity, so we have always done it ourselves." The man replied with a grin, and then he asked, "Do you want to print a five-star red flag?" β
He Yun thought to himself, that's natural, we Chinese bought satellites, let us want to print the Chinese national flag, is it possible to print the Star-Spangled Banner?
βnoοΌβ Fan Wuxian waved his hand and said, "This is my private satellite, naturally I can't print the national flag, that's illegal!" β
"And what do you need to print?" Everyone was curious.
Fan Wuxi pointed to the big satellite and said to everyone with an arrogant face, "There, in the most eye-catching place on that satellite, I want to draw a big king!" β
Thank you, thank you, thank you, from yesterday to today, more than 100 monthly passes have been added, which really makes the little wolf feel quite excited. Today's second shift arrived, calling for a monthly pass that was still asleep. The big ones who have supported the little wolf will automatically ignore it when they see this, because the competition at the end of the month is fierce, and the little wolf will definitely be noisy for a few days, please understand. ************οΌ ~οΌ [To quickly find this site, please search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]
