Technology Bigshot Chapter 517: :Bigelow personally promotes the product]
Ding Yang met Robert Bigelow in the VIP waiting room of the company headquarters after leaving the space base.
He didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even say hello when he met. He said straight to the point: "That's right, sir. Our boss is busy with business, so I'm afraid we won't be able to meet you according to the appointment plan."
"What? When will Mr. Ren be free?" The 82-year-old Bigelow became restless when he heard Ding Yang's answer, and he couldn't help but ask anxiously.
Although he is not young, thanks to the physical improvement of the "replicating device" produced by Matrix Technology, Bigelow is still old and strong and has a long life. This time, he did not hesitate to travel across the ocean to come here in person, in order to facilitate a cooperation. If he can successfully accept an order from the company, the transaction amount will definitely exceed the sum of the company's historical business.
That's a super space station with more than 5,000 tons! Like thousands of tons of sparkling gold!
"The last time our boss had free time was on the weekend after a month and a half, or during a private break." Ding Yang replied.
"What?" Old Bigelow's heart froze when he heard that it would take forty or fifty days. He really wants to yell at the other party. He is really rude. There are no more people at the scheduled meeting time. I am here to discuss cooperation with this young man. You let me dove. It is unbearable. If it doesn't stop, it means that a fantastic cooperation with a sky-high price will go to waste, and you have to endure it for the dollar.
Facts once again prove that forbearance pays off in the end.
Ding Yang added: "But our boss said that if the husband is willing to move to the headquarters, we can meet immediately. Our boss is at the headquarters at the moment."
"Of course! Of course!" Old Bigelow said with joy without any hesitation.
Half an hour later, Ding Yang took Robert Bigelow to the command center of the launch tower of the space base in Ren Hong's car. Bigelow, who first observed the pattern of the space base up close, looked around curiously. The huge launch tower immediately It caught his attention, and he noticed that the car was heading in the direction of the launch tower.
After a while, the majestic appearance of "Arc Eagle No. 1" came into view of the old Bigelow. The nose of the aircraft was aimed at the launch tower in the shape of a curved concave semi-parabolic shape. Although the old Bigelow was born as an innkeeper, he was engaged in He has been in the aerospace field for many years, and he is not ignorant. When he saw this scene, was the mysterious space shuttle launched from that curved orbit?
No need for a rocket booster?
"Uh, Mr. Ding, take the liberty to ask here is..." Bigelow couldn't help asking, guessing 10,000 times is not as good as a word from someone who knows.
Ding Yang in the driver's seat replied briefly: "That is the 'Arc Eagle No. 1' aerospace transport aircraft, and it is about to conduct its first aerospace test flight. It is precisely because of this that our boss conflicts with your appointment. ."
The "Arc Eagle No. 1" that is about to fly is not a first-class secret. Since the boss wants to bring him to the scene, it is enough to explain the problem, so Ding Yang has nothing to hide.
"Is this space shuttle going to take off without rocket booster fuel? But through the orbiter on that large building?" Bigelow asked again after learning the answer.
"It should be, but I'm not a professional, and I don't know the specific situation. The test flight time will start soon. If there is no accident, Mr. should be able to witness the test flight operation with his own eyes." Ding Yang replied.
Bigelow showed a happy look: "I didn't expect to get such a surprise, it's a great honor! I sincerely wish this test flight a complete success!"
Shortly after arriving at the space base, Ding Yang brought Robert Bigelow to the control center. Ren Hong saw that Ding Yang appeared here with a foreigner, and he said a few words to the project leader. Then he went in the direction of Bigelow.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Ren!"
"Good to meet, Mr. Robert."
After the two met, they shook hands politely and said a few shabby words. The age gap between the two parties was unusually large. Old Bigelow, born in 1945, was 82 years old, three times that of Ren Hong. But even so, he respects the young man in front of him enough, regardless of qualifications, especially for Westerners, they will always put your ability and status in the first place of the "measure", and then other.
As for the young Ren Hong, he just showed due courtesy, and did not add any extra emotional factors.
"I take the liberty to come to disturb me this time, I hope Mr. Duo Duo Haihan." Old Bigelow laughed.
"It's okay, it's my fault, no, it's my assistant's fault, he arranged the time. But considering his long time with me and his outstanding ability, I decided not to fire him." Ren Hong laughed loudly, and some humorous words made the atmosphere lively. As for Ding Yang, who was beside him, his face twitched involuntarily. He knew that it was you who wanted to watch the test flight temporarily and insistently. In the end, the cauldron was still on the assistant.
"Mr. Robert, please this way!" Ren Hong said with a smile. The two came to an observation room with transparent glass in front of them, allowing them to see the entire empty runway and launch tower at a glance.
"I heard that your company is about to conduct a test flight of the space shuttle?" Bigelow stared at the air transport aircraft and a group of staff on the runway.
"That's right!" Ren Hong nodded, and then asked, "Mr. Robert, before the test flight begins, let's talk about the real business first. What are your intentions for coming to meet with me this time?"
Mentioning about the business, Bigelow suddenly became focused, his eyes were taken back from the window, and then fell on Ren Hong, saying: "Since your company's announcement of an ambitious space exploration plan, in which your company not long ago Regarding the 'Tiangong Ring Orbiting Star Harbor' mentioned in the announced 'Gemini Project', I believe that Bigelow Aerospace and your company can carry out an in-depth cooperation on this project."
"I would like to hear the details!" Ren Hong said in a hurry. He had already had a general understanding of Bigelow Aerospace Co., Ltd. in advance, and he had also guessed the purpose of the other party's visit this time. Bigelow went into battle himself, probably to sell his "inflatable space capsule".
As expected, Bigelow quickly replied: "Your company's ambition is to build the largest interstellar space station in human history, with a volume of more than 5,000 kilotons, which is an exciting figure. It should also be an unimaginable cost investment. But the 'beam (Beem) inflatable space capsule' produced by Bigelow Aerospace Co., Ltd. founded by me, can greatly reduce the cost of 'Tiangong'. Some supply modules or The experimental capsule can completely replace the conventional space capsule with an inflatable capsule, and the cost of 'beam inflatable capsule' is less than 20 million US dollars is the best role to replace these experimental capsules or supply capsules..."
