Reborn Capital Madman

After the "jianghu relationship" represented by David Rockefeller in the United States is communicated in place, the second-hand communication satellite of Gulf Western Company is taken over by Asia Satellite Communications Company, and the communication satellite can freely choose the launch service, there will be no problem

The variables have changed, and straightening out the relationships among the forces behind Asia Satellite Communications' shareholding structure means that Sir Gao can let go and let his subordinates be responsible for the specific daily operations of Asia Satellite Communications.

Again, Asia Satellite Communications is part of the Hong Kong International Digital Center and the Hong Kong Digital Highway. Regarding its situation, when necessary, there is no need to be secretive about what should be disclosed, like Asia Satellite Communications and Boil Oil.

My own first commercial communication satellite, although

Although it is second-hand, some parameters including service life and performance indicators have basically retained the appearance of the original design and manufacturing, and we have begun to search for commercial launch service providers around the world, etc., all of which have been disclosed to the outside world, which can be regarded as a preparation for the future.

Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and advertised.

The effect of this advertisement is quite eye-catching. It has made the executives of Asia Satellite Communications Company and Xiangjiang Communications Company become honored guests of several major aerospace countries in the world. This kind of communication opportunity can do a lot.

There are too many things going on. Otherwise, in Sir Gao's eyes, the failure of Gulf Western's commercial communications satellite launch could turn out to be a good thing.

Generally speaking, the cost of putting a communications satellite into a predetermined orbit is about 30 million U.S. dollars, which is not a small sum even for commercial launch service providers with the support of government resources.

It is precisely because of the support of the government's resources that if you can do a business, you can reduce some of the financial burden on the government. Moreover, aerospace technology also follows some simple principles, such as the more you use it, the more you become more proficient.

In addition, the significance of commercial satellite launches is self-evident.

Under such circumstances, Asia Satellite Communications Company had the capital to take a high-profile look, and received warm hospitality from the French government.

According to the results of preliminary contacts, the European Space Agency seems to be the most suitable for the requirements. There is no need to elaborate on the technology. In particular, its space launch center is located in French Guiana on the Atlantic coast of northern South America. It is close to the equator and has a low latitude, which is of great benefit for rocket launches.

Its advantages are no worse than those of NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

The media's analysis of who won this commercial satellite launch order also favored the European Space Agency. After all, the British National Space Center is also a member of the European Space Agency, and judging from the implementation history of large-scale projects in Xiangjiang, the suppliers from Europe are

A regular on the winning bid list.

Even the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States had nothing to say. The Challenger space shuttle exploded and crashed seventy-three seconds after takeoff, shocking the world. No matter how good your technology is, there is a management problem and you lose the trust of your customers.

Trust is not normal.

After listening to the reports from Niubijian, Yan Leihui and others, Sir Gao did not make a clear statement whether he supported the decision to choose the European Space Agency to launch the first commercial communication satellite of Asia Satellite Communications Company, but said meaningfully.

, for the European Space Agency and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States, Asia Satellite Communications Company is still just one of the ordinary customers.

Niubijian, Yan Leihui and others looked at each other. This is indeed true. What else do we want?

Gao Xian slowly put forward his thoughts. China had officially announced in October 1985 that the Long March series of carrier rockets would be launched into the international satellite launch service market and contracted the business of launching satellites for foreign countries. When you go to Europe, I will wait for you.

During the ground inspection, I used my connections to find out that although the Long March 3 rocket is not the most technologically advanced in the world, it is self-contained. Coupled with the continuous success of recent launch missions, it has become the first commercial rocket of Asia Satellite Communications Company.

Putting communication satellites into orbit is not a problem.

If we can reach this commercial launch contract with China, it will be China’s first entry into the international satellite launch service market, which is of extraordinary significance, and we will use this to consolidate our existing relationship.

Niubijian, Yan Leihui and others suddenly realized, but concerns soon emerged. Although China's aerospace technology has entered the high-orbit club, it is undeniable that China's first order to enter the international satellite launch service market must have risks that cannot be ignored.

, as for commercial operation mechanisms other than aerospace technology, such as commercial insurance, China is still blank.

Gao Xian nodded, your concerns are very reasonable, but judging from my experience in interacting with the mainland for so many years, it is very good at concentrating efforts to do big things, and has led to many innovations. Those gaps will not constitute a real gap.

And if we provide assistance in the process of establishing the mechanism, wouldn't it just be possible to gain further business trust?

After some exchanges, Niubijian, Yan Leihui and others digested Sir Gao's ideas and formed a consensus. From the perspective of maximizing the interests of the Gao Group, if they can sign this commercial communications satellite launch contract with China,

, will be an optimal solution. As the saying goes, you can get more things by spending the same amount of money.

Seeing that there were no objections, Gao Xian pointed out that the matchmaking work in the mainland had been completed and that he would contact relevant departments there, including the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the Ministry of Aerospace Industry, as soon as possible to see what progress could be made.

Niubijian, Yan Leihui and others immediately took the order and led the team northward for multiple rounds of negotiations and inspections.

This operation was not concealed from the outside world, but what is significant is that compared to the contact with the European Space Agency, there are obviously more weird things in public opinion, such as the rocket fairing is made of bamboo.

There is no need to waste too much ink on such prejudiced noises. Gao Xian knows who to trust. Asia Satellite Communications Company and Xiangjiang Telecom Company have also withstood various sarcastic pressures and steadily advanced Sir Gao's idea. To sum up, this is

, overall it went smoothly, and both parties were happy. The Gao Consortium gained something beyond the launch of commercial satellites.

At this time, another new interpretation popped up in the Hong Kong media. The launch of AsiaSat's first commercial communications satellite and the unexpected choice of launch service provider may be related to a long-standing grudge, that is, the sudden suppression of the Hong Kong government.

I took a look at the actions of BTV, the most influential TV station in Hong Kong, and expressed my dissatisfaction.

To put it bluntly, Sir Gao is unhappy, which will make the Hong Kong government, which is always in the public relations department of European suppliers during the implementation of major projects, uncomfortable.

This speculation was so well-founded that a reporter asked a question at a regular media briefing of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Administration, but was ignored by irrelevant questions, but it became even more heated.
