I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 502: Acquisition of aerospace companies

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

The vigorous development of private aerospace has a big background, that is, the failure of the early space shuttle and the end of the aerospace race caused by the end of the Cold War. This storm caused a large number of important projects in the United States to be discontinued in the 1980s. The enthusiasm was greatly hit by the drift.

After disarmament in the 1990s and the aerospace industry ’s integration, Pratt & Whitney, Boeing, and Loma ’s monopoly is no longer comparable to that of the 1960s, and it is also more sensitive to risks. Defense business. Not to mention the high price, the RD-180 engine was originally invested by Americans, because the manufacturers were reluctant to spend money to build new factories, and the result was entirely dependent on Russian production.

That's why Russia can hold its neck in the face of sanctions. The drama of threatening to terminate cooperation and giving the International Space Station a "cutting grain" has been staged more than once, and it has been unsuccessful. It was not until the rise of private space companies in recent years that this painless and itchy threat gradually became less effective.

Facts have proved that the industry dominated by the bureaucracy has no future, which is also reflected in the aerospace industry.

Take the famous private space company SpaceX as an example.

The launch price has been reduced to an almost absurd level, only a fraction of the market price, no country or enterprise in the world can compete with it. These emerging companies have inherited a large number of research results of the aerospace giants of the old era, but the debt has not been inherited at all.

When it comes to space-x boss Elon Musk, he is also a legendary figure, but his popularity in China is far less than that of Jobs. But if it mentions some of the earth-shattering things he has done, many people should still have heard about it. For example, he co-founded the PayPal online payment mechanism, which is by far the most successful online payment method. After being acquired by ebay, he also earned the first pot of gold in his life.

Another example is the hottest car in the last year. Do n’t doubt, Tesla ’s boss is also him!

Not only that, he invited three well-known entrepreneurs to co-found space-X, and made the ambitious strategic goal of "starting with space tourism, starting the era of privatization of space resources and finally achieving Mars settlement."

And it turns out that they are indeed at the forefront of the world in the field of aerospace.

The Falcon Rocket was born, and its push ratio (fuel to push weight ratio) reached a horrible 1: 150! It replaced Russia ’s best score of 1: 120 and became the world ’s most advanced rocket in one fell swoop. What makes people more envious and jealous is that such a rocket not only has a low launch cost, but can be reused! The first-level rocket can hover at a height of 200 meters, and then fall vertically without damage.

Finally, its engine is still 3D printed.

With so many advantages in one, its market competitiveness is unmatched. At the same time, its relationship with NASA and the US Air Force can almost be described as an iron buddy. The orders that fluttered like snowflakes made Ailong Musk profitable.

But because of its terrible competitiveness, many small private aerospace companies in the United States are in a state of semi-death.

The most profitable defense orders are almost monopolized by space-X, and the launch profit of commercial satellites has been compressed to the extreme for various reasons. It is for this reason that Jiang Chen was able to buy two aerospace companies for restructuring with a floor price of US $ 5 billion to enrich the talent team of the aerospace technology center wholly-owned by Xinghuan Trading.

Kelvin Burrow, a former director and technical director of Mississippi Aerospace Technology Corporation, holds a Ph.D. from Embraed Aerospace University, was involved in the early development of the Falcon Rocket, and then resigned to return to his hometown to establish Mississippi Aerospace Technology Company. . But it turns out that not all technicians can become businessmen like Gates and Jobs. After the investment failure, his company owed $ 500 million in debt and wandered on the verge of bankruptcy.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen extended a "helping hand" in time, so that he was able to keep his life's hard work from selling.

Of course, capital is ruthless. The first thing that Jiang Chen became chairman of the board was to sell most of his company ’s assets at a low price, and at the same time he issued twice the original salary and work visa to his company ’s employees.

"Do you know what you did? The equipment is worth at least 200 million US dollars! And you sold it to my old owner at a discount of 50%. Oh **** ... if I were Mr. Musk, I May be awake when dreaming. "Just after leaving the airport on Kero Island, Kerwin grabbed Jiang Chen and complained spittingly.

"Mr. Musk will not wake up with laughter, IMHO, space-X can't look down on your devices. Coincidentally, I can't look down on either." Jiang Chen said with a light tone, while replacing He opened the door.

"What do you mean?" Kerwin frowned immediately.

"Literally, believe me, when you reach the destination, you will be consistent with my point of view." Jiang Chen took the co-pilot position.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Kerwin glanced at the expressionless girl who drove, then looked at Jiang Chen and asked nervously.

"Does she have a driver's license?"

After hearing it, Aisha twitched her lips. Jiang Chen was stunned and smiled.

"Relax, my worth should be more afraid of death than you."

"Okay, I believe you ... but I have to remind you that even if you have money, some things ca n’t be bought with banknotes. I now have 5671 pages of technical drawings in hand, but I can I'm very responsible to tell you that it is absolutely impossible to find a factory that turns my drawings into objects in this broken place. "

"Really? Then throw away your drawings." Jiang Chenman said carelessly.

Kerwin froze, frowning slightly.

"Sorry, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, I still say that, I can understand that you are full of anxiety about the new work place, but I hope you stay calm, because we will soon see some shocking things ... um , In front of the pier, we have to change transportation. "

Keeping on carelessly, Kelvin said awkwardly, then stopped talking.

Although Jiang Chen's attitude towards his company and his technology makes him very dissatisfied, he has no reason to live with his salary. If there is a choice, he will certainly not sell his life's efforts. But it is a pity that it is not his founder who owns the absolute equity of Mississippi Aerospace Technology Company, but the profit-seeking capitalist. Faced with the price offered by Jiang Chen, the other shareholders of the company gave their shares with little hesitation.

Parked the car in the garage next to the dock. Aisha looked sideways and said to Jiang Chen in a language that Kerwin did not understand: "He seems very dissatisfied with you."

"That is of course, after all, I sold his efforts for six years and devalued his research results to nothing." Pushing the door, Jiang Chen smiled and said to Aisha.

After a pause, Jiang Chen turned to look at the impatient Kelvin and said in English, "Well, Mr. Kelvin, we can board the ship."

Spreading his arms around his arms, Kerwin walked toward the boat.

"Is it okay to hire him as technical director?" Aisha looked at Jiang Chen in confusion. "You are going to teach him something very important."

Aisha knows more or less about Jiang Chen ’s secrets, so she has such worries.

"Naturally, the technical director must be a person with strong technology, and I am very optimistic about his learning ability. I have always been tolerant of talents. As for his rudeness, it is more out of the reserved and rigorous technology It has nothing to do with loyalty. As long as I can come up with techniques that shock him, help him realize his dreams, and give him enough material rewards, he has no reason to be stingy about his loyalty. "

When saying this, Jiang Chen couldn't help thinking of Jiang Lin. Intuition tells him that they are the same kind of people.

The ignorant expression on Aisha's face obviously does not seem to understand what Jiang Chen said. But based on the trust for no reason, she still nodded.

"Since you believe him."

"Of course, if he betrayed then, then please you." Jiang Chen smiled.

Aisha didn't speak, but simply nodded.

Betrayal will be handled by ghost agents.

No one can escape their sniper ... (to be continued.)
