Chapter 9: I'll take control of my satellite

The team leader of Hughes, who came to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base this time, was the company's vice president of administrative affairs, and Harry Ford, vice president of technical affairs. There were about 60 entourages, all of whom were responsible for the final commissioning and installation of satellites. There were more than a dozen security guards, who were said to be strong men who retired from the US Marine Corps.

Fan Wubing immediately made an appointment with Maximos, still in the small conference room of the base.

"Oh, dear Chinese Fan, I'm so happy to see you!" The old Jewish man Maximos brought several tall Americans to see Fan Wubing. When he saw Fan Wubing, he had a bright smile on his face.

Hypocrisy! Fan Wubing is ashamed of Maximos's thick skin, but his mouth is not easy to deal with. He immediately said, "Dear Mark, you will be happy only when you see my money, right?"

"Haha, you've called it!" The old Jewish man touched his big nose awkwardly, and then saw He Yun standing beside Fan Wubing, and his eyes lit up, "Fan, why does every time I see you, there is a different Chinese beauty by your side?"

He Yun frowned when he heard this, thinking to himself, do foreigners look like this? They are tugging around on the train, without any seriousness.

Fan Wubing laughed, "This only shows that the quality of Chinese people is relatively high, not only reflected in their connotation, but also in their appearance."

After hearing Fan Wubing's words, He Yun suddenly felt that this guy was not only going to cause trouble, but also not giving in to others. It is estimated that when he negotiates with foreigners, he would also be able to anger a few foreigners to death.

Sure enough, Maximos said a little disappointedly, "Okay, Chinese style, at such a very critical moment, you suddenly called us over. It would be that nothing important is there, right? We are very nervous about time!"

Fan Wubing asked strangely, "You are just the vice president of the administration. Do you need to be present when debugging satellites?"

Maximos shrugged and introduced a tall off-white-haired man beside him to Fan Wubing. "This is Mr. Harry Ford, the company's vice president of the company. According to the company's regulations, two vice presidents must be present during the satellite debugging days. So, as soon as I come here, it means that the work there must be stopped."

"Well, I understand this, the system, the abominable system!" Fan Wubing said after asking everyone to sit down, "What I have always hated the most is the strict company system, so my team has always been linked together in the loosest and most comfortable way of cooperation. Facts have proved that this extensive management model is not undesirable."

"I understand this, your team can be said to be one of the most successful teams in the world." The old Jewish man nodded and replied.

After hearing this, a group of foreigners at the scene disagreed. A Chinese young man also talked about teams and management models, and was not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue?

Maximos is a cunning man. Seeing that his entourage seemed a little disdainful, he solemnly introduced, "Everyone, Mr. Fan started from scratch. Although he is less than 20 years old, his assets have exceeded the scale of many famous old-fashioned consortiums in the United States. For example, the rising star Cisco in the communications market is only one of the companies controlled by Mr. Fan. Even among the circulating shareholders of Microsoft, Mr. Fan is the largest one."

Now, the group of devils became much more honest. The first Americans believed in was not God, but US dollars.

In front of a financial giant, the goddess of Liberty also had to put down the torch in her hand and kneel down to salute.

"Okay, dear Mark, dear Mr. Harry Ford, we should not waste time on these boring things. I am in urgent need of meeting you this time to see the condition of my satellite. I am very concerned about this and must ensure that all preparations are foolproof." Fan Wubing said.

"Oh, my dear Fan, I'm afraid I can't meet your requirements." The old Jewish man rejected Fan Wubing's request and then added, "You also know that satellites are not only composed of tight components, but also involve many commercial secrets. We must be responsible to the shareholders of the company."

He Yun, who was beside him, immediately browned. It seemed that the Americans were determined not to let us contact satellites. In this case, I am afraid that there would be no chance to see satellites before the satellite finally entered the cabin. If the satellites combined with the stars and arrows, it would be difficult to ensure their safety if they only rely on the data provided on the drawings.

Moreover, if the people at the base are not curious about Hughes' satellites, it will seem a bit abnormal.

Americans have always been like this. If you think about their things, they think it is normal. If you want to protest, if you don’t think about their things, they will think it is abnormal and they will also make noise. In short, all countries except the United States are all vulnerable groups in their eyes and do not have the ability to develop high-tech.

However, Fan Wubing's ability should not be underestimated. He immediately retorted, "Mark, are you so unconfident? Do you think that people outside your company can thoroughly study your company's products within three days? If so, I really doubt whether my hundreds of millions of dollars are worth the money!"

Fan Wubing's implication is very clear. Things that can be seen through at a glance will definitely not be of much value. If the Chinese can see through the satellites of Hughes Company can see through the mystery at a glance, they will obviously not be as advanced as they advertise.

A group of foreigners were very angry after hearing Fan Wubing's words. Isn't this openly slandering the wisdom of our Hughes employees? Several people whispered to Harry Ford, the vice president of technology, meaning that they were dissatisfied with Fan Wubing's remarks and showed strong confidence in their product advantages.

Fan Wubing started the fire and sat aside and drank tea with a smile.

Sure enough, the Americans were a little dissatisfied. After a moment, Harry Ford and Maximos discussed it and said to Fan Wubing, "Mr. Fan, we cannot agree with your accusations. Our Hughes Company is undoubtedly the world's top commercial satellite manufacturing company! In order to resolve your misunderstanding about our company, we can open satellites to your company's employees in the last three days of debugging!"

"I've said it earlier, at least I'll have to take a look at my satellite myself!" Fan Wubing said to them indifferently, "Or, I should also touch my satellite for hundreds of millions of dollars!"

"It's OK to take a look, but you can save it by touching it!" Harry Ford thought to himself, don't touch it. If there is static electricity or something, which part is penetrated and cannot send a signal in the sky. Who is the loss?

Finally, the two sides reached an agreement. Hughes Company agreed that eight of Fan Wubing's employees could observe the satellite at close range, but they were not allowed to have physical contact, and they could not conduct recording activities such as shooting or copying.

After arranging Maximos and others to have a meal, Fan Wubing and He Yun immediately contacted the commander of the base, a lieutenant general, and the Samsung general, and then went to the small conference room for emergency meeting.

After briefly introducing the meeting just now, He Yun concluded, "This is the situation. In short, Hughes Company, under Mr. Fan's clever words, finally agreed to open the debugging time for the last three days. Without disturbing their staff for installation and commissioning, Mr. Fan's employees can observe the satellites at close range."

"This is a great victory!" said the base commander with some excitement.

You should know that the technical content of commercial satellites is also very high, especially this kind of communication satellite in geosynchronous orbit, which requires that every small step cannot cause any error. Satellite manufacturing companies in various countries are basically secretly informed about manufacturing and final debugging, which is also considered an industry rule.

If we can see Hughes' commissioning process within the last three days this time, even if we cannot understand the internal structure and unique design of its satellite in detail, it will still provide us with some solutions for reference, which is of great significance.

"Comrade Xiao Fan really has a solution." The general was also very happy and couldn't help but praise Fan Wubing.

"But the question of Mr. Fan's employee?" asked the base commander.

"This is easy to deal with, we have an agreement long ago." The general nodded and said.

Originally, when Fan Wubing and the military were discussing stealing satellites, they had already proposed an exchange condition, that is, the military would help him form a ground satellite communication service company, help him build the company's shelves, and then cultivate some of the company's own talents.

Now it's good. These people can naturally follow Fan Wubing's employees and carefully study the debugging process of Hughes. As for the satellite itself, that's second.

Because, our main goal this time is to build a satellite.

The general looked at Fan Wubing carefully and felt that this was really a talent! He couldn't help but smile and said, "What a pity, what a pity!"

"What a pity?" asked the base commander curiously.

"It's a pity that I don't have a young, beautiful and capable daughter!" the general said with a smile.

Soon, the eight people who chose Fan Wubing were selected. In addition to them, the military also provided enough manpower for Fan Wubing's new company to allow his satellite ground communication service company to be successfully built.

After lunch, Fan Wubing and He Yun took eight "employees" to the satellite debugging site in a swagger, ready to take a good look at their satellites.

More than a dozen strong former Marines were guarding the periphery in full arms, and dozens of technicians were surrounding various machines to test the satellite's various parameter indicators. About five or six staff members wearing white dust-proof and anti-static clothing and transparent glass masks were climbing on the metal shelf built on the outside of the satellite, conducting detailed inspections bit by bit on the open satellite interior, connecting many cable connectors to various parts, looking quite careful.

The "employees" brought by Fan Wubing immediately entered their own state and carried out naked eyes to track and observe the debugging process between satellites and Americans. Fan Wubing, accompanied by He Yun, cordially greeted the busy American engineers.

Generally speaking, when engineers are most disgusted when they are most stressful, they are the ones who are disturbing them. But Fan Wubing has a way. The generous behavior of sending a US dollar check made everyone smile.

"Look, this is the charm of money." Fan Wubing said to He Yun while dissipating money, "In the evil capitalist country, the impact of the US dollar on human nature is far greater than its actual value!"

He Yun blinked his beautiful big eyes and felt a little confused about the guy in front of him. He really couldn't understand how he became such a freak now? A genius child who designed a snowstorm torpedo at the age of three? It's really scary to say it! Think about it, he is a genius at the base, but compared with Fan Wubing, it seems that he is not a little worse.

Alas, it’s so annoying to compare people!

However, it seems that some Americans can understand Chinese. Some people heard Fan Wubing slander his country and political system so viciously, and immediately protested slowly, "Boss Fan, it seems that your assets are mainly obtained in the United States, right? Is it a bit of a suspicion of evaluating a democratic country and a democratic system like this? It is very unkind to do this!"

Fan Wubing was suddenly a little embarrassed when he was told this, but he was still quite clever in changing the topic. "Mr. Engineer, can you ask you a question?"

"Please tell me, although an ordinary person like me may not be able to answer your doubts, the American people never refuse the requests for help from others." The man was very sharp-tongued.

Fan Wubing pointed to the satellite and asked, "I want to ask, if some paint is added outside the satellite, will it affect the overall performance of the satellite or have a significant impact on the safety of the satellite itself?"

The man understood Fan Wubing's intention as soon as he heard this. He suddenly realized, "Oh, I seem to understand what you mean. Are you trying to print some of your own patterns or words on the satellite?

"I have to admit that you are really smart." Fan Wubing smiled and raised his thumb.

However, Fan Wubing was very contemptuous of this guy in his heart. This is nonsense. If I weren’t writing and drawing pictures, why would I add paint to the satellite? Could it be that I was painting anti-rust paint? In the space environment, I still have to worry about oxidation? Do you think I haven’t learned chemistry in junior high school?

Oh, it seems that I have never been to junior high school.

The man was very happy to hear Fan Wubing's praise. The most important thing was that he received Fan Wubing's second check. He quietly stuffed the second check into his pocket, then held the eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said to Fan Wubing in a very professional tone, "In fact, our Hughes company has been committed to meeting the various needs of global commercial satellite users. Printing coatings on the outer surface of the satellite is also an important part of our service. The special paints provided by our company can ensure that they will not pose any threat to the safe operation of the satellite, and will be able to cope with the test of high and low temperatures in space without fading for a long time. If Mr. Fan has the intention to do this, we can print the pattern you specified on the surface of the satellite before the final debugging is completed. Thank you!"

"Well, your company's advertising work is very good!" Fan Wubing's first reaction after hearing this was this.

"Thank you, in fact, advertising is also a very professional activity for commercial satellite manufacturers like us, so we always do it ourselves." The man replied with a smile, and then he asked, "Are you going to print a five-star red flag?"

He Yun thought to himself, that's natural. As the satellites we Chinese bought, would we still need to print the Chinese flag?

"no!" Fan Wubing waved his hand, "This is my private satellite, so naturally I cannot print the national flag, that's illegal!"

"Then what pattern do you need to print?" Everyone was curious.
