Chapter 63 A big cake

"Minister, there is something new here." Han Song, director of the Economic Investigation Department of the Ministry of Security, knocked on the door of Minister Jiang Lueu, and put a piece of intelligence on his desk with a wry smile.

Jiang Lue put down what was happening in his hand, took the information with some headache, rubbed his temples with his hands, and asked with no certainty, "Why are your Economic Investigation Department so many recent situations? You have been here with me several times this month, and you have never had this situation before!"

"This is impossible. In recent years, the economy has developed rapidly, so problems have increased." Han Song said helplessly, "In the past few years, there were not so many things. I am willing to sit in the office and drink tea every day!"

Han Song is right. In the past, the domestic economic situation was relatively simple, and there were few criminal issues in this area, and there were not many things worth investigating in the intelligence department. Therefore, the Ministry of Security basically did not know much about this situation. However, in the past decade, due to the deepening of reform and opening up, the economic situation has become more and more complicated and the problems involved are also more and more. If there is no special intelligence department to effectively monitor it, the problem will be very big and serious, which is also the reason why Han Song's Economic Investigation Office will become more and more busy.

"What's going on this time?" Jiang Lue opened the thick printing paper and asked casually.

"It's not something that powerful person has done!" Han Song muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh--" Jiang Lue immediately knew who it was when he heard Han Song's words. He couldn't help but wonder what happened to Fan Wubing? It's really not worry-free!

Because of Fan Wubing's affairs, Jiang Lue had already gone to the old leader's house twice. He hoped that the matter would not be too big this time, otherwise he would have to make the old leader laugh to death if he went there again.

However, after Jiang Lue read the information carefully, his eyebrows suddenly became a bump. After a long time, he sighed, "Oh, why is my luck so weak?"

Two hours later, Jiang Lue appeared at the old leader's home again.

"You are not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing! You are just talking about people like you!" The old leader smiled and pointed at Jiang Lue, then said, "Three communication satellites! What a big deal!"

Jiang Lue said carefully, "The key is that we don't know what he intends to do. After all, satellites are different from other things. Three communication satellites can build a global communication network. And this is specially made by Hughes, the United States, for Australia's Ossett Company, and the performance is the best at present! What will he use to make three of them?"

The old leader shook his head and said, "It's not me, you are always used to making big fuss! No matter who buys this kind of satellite, it will always be delivered to the sky! Even if it's not Fan Wubing, others will buy it sooner or later. There is always one on our heads, so this is not important! What's important is that we should see that Fan Wubing is very popular in the international market. Through him, we can do some things well!"

Jiang Lue nodded constantly after hearing this, wanting to hear any specific instructions from the old leader, but the old leader obviously was unwilling to express his opinions at will, and just told him to talk to the people from the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and the Great Wall Company about this issue. Perhaps something might be gained.

So Jiang Lue left the old leader's house in confusion, and found Deputy Director Zhang of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, who was the former Director Zhang with a depressed look on his face.

"Minister Jiang?" Deputy Director Zhang looked at Jiang Lue in surprise, feeling very strange.

Although the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and the Ministry of Security often deal with each other, they mainly have contacts in official business. They have never encountered the Minister of the Ministry of Security coming to find his own affairs. So Deputy Director Zhang welcomed Jiang Lue to his office, closed the door and made tea, and then asked, "Minister Jiang took the time to guide him in person, but what's the important thing?"

"Well, I'm really embarrassed." Jiang Lue didn't know how to start with Deputy Director Zhang for a moment. After thinking for a while, he asked, "It seems that Deputy Director Zhang, you have a good relationship with Fan Heng's family?"

"There is such a thing that we have known each other for more than ten years." When Deputy Director Zhang heard Jiang Lue's words, he thought to himself, why did he have time to ask this? Could it be that Fan Wubing has caused some trouble again?

Deputy Director Zhang saw that Fan Wubing grew up, so he naturally knew who was the most likely to cause trouble in Fan Heng’s family.

"That's good, that's good." Jiang Lue said yes all the time. In fact, he didn't know what the old leader asked him to come over and talk about the purpose of this matter. But the old leader gave the order and he couldn't ignore it. So he told Deputy Director Zhang about what he learned about.

"What? Fan Wubing bought three satellites made by Hughes? It's the one specially made for Ossett?!" After hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang immediately stood up and asked excitedly.

Jiang Lue replied, "Anyway, the contract has been signed, and it is said that the delivery will be available in March of 2019."

"This is a good thing!" Deputy Director Zhang walked around the room, regardless of Minister Jiang's side, obviously he was a little overjoyed.

"Why?" Minister Jiang asked curiously without understanding the problem.

"This matter--" Deputy Director Zhang originally wanted to say that it should be kept confidential, but when he thought that Jiang Lue was the Minister of Security, and the news was sent by someone, he changed his words and said, "It's not important to tell you. In fact, our Great Wall Company is dealing with Americans and Australians to launch the Aostar manufactured by Hughes for Australia's Osset Company."

Oh, after saying this, Minister Jiang understood.

Great Wall Company is a touchstone for domestic promotion to the international commercial satellite launch market. On the one hand, it can strengthen its technical capabilities through commercial satellite launches, continuously improve its theoretical level during launches, and make domestic launch vehicle technology reach the international advanced level. On the other hand, it can also improve China's international status and reputation, and make some foreign exchange by the way.

It should be noted that even if Great Wall Company does not undertake external business, some research work will still be carried out. Now it has undertaken the business of international commercial satellite launch, which is a matter of beating rabbits and killing rabbits. It is just killing other people's pigs, practicing their own sword skills, and earning some slaughtering fees.

"What do you mean?" Minister Jiang looked at Deputy Director Zhang with his eyes shining and guessed, "Are you going to take over the launch of Fan Wubing's three satellites?"

Deputy Director Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Yes! This kind of skill can train technology to increase experience and earn some foreign exchange, why don't we do it? I have to talk to Fan Wubing about this in person!"

Jiang Lue thought to himself, no wonder the old leader wanted to talk to the people from the National Defense Science and Technology Commission. It seems that they need this business very much! No wonder, although the domestic satellite launch price is much higher than that of foreign companies, the launch price of a satellite is also about 36 million US dollars, and the launch cost of three satellites is only hundreds of millions of dollars! This matter must be known to the specific operation of Great Wall Company, but it is necessary to come and grab people!

However, Jiang Lue was still a little worried and asked Deputy Director Zhang, "Will this kind of thing affect national security? After all, you don't know what he is going to use these satellites for!"

Deputy Director Zhang said oh, then realized that sitting opposite him was the Minister of the Security Department. After considering it, he said, "Security issues are probably not! These are not military satellites, nor resource detection satellites, but communication satellites. You must know that many of our domestic communication services now also need to rent satellite bandwidth from foreign companies. If Fan Wubing plans to carry out satellite communication services, it will be a good thing for us. After all, his price in that aspect is not too dark. With this comparison, some foreign companies that cannot report prices can only reduce their services."

Jiang Lue nodded, thinking that after all, Deputy Director Zhang is an expert in this field and knows the tricks better than himself.

"But it is not realistic to do communication services in China for the time being. After all, this part of the content has not been relaxed in domestic policies, so I think he will only do a forwarder rental at most. When he has time, he can help him contact this business, which is a game of favor cards." Deputy Director Zhang thought, touching his chin.

After chatting with Deputy Director Zhang for a while, Jiang Luei said goodbye and left after confirming that there were no major safety issues. Deputy Director Zhang began to contact the leaders of Great Wall Company to discuss in detail about Fan Wubing buying three communication satellites at once. After that, Deputy Director Zhang called Fan Heng again.

So half an hour later, Fan Wubing received a call from his father Fan Heng.

"No, right?" Fan Wubing was very surprised. "I decided to settle here temporarily. Dad, how did you know the phone number in my room?"

Fan Heng said opposite, "As long as you are in China, there are still places you can't find? I can now connect to the private phone number of the Minister of Security at any time! I guess among the mayors of these prefecture-level cities in China, I have the highest treatment! Humph!"

"Damn!" Fan Wubing immediately cursed, "Is it the gray grandsons of the Ministry of Security who monitored my phone number again? Last time, I helped them get 200 million US dollars in activity funds for free, and these are all a group of wolves with a blank look!"

After Fan Wubing cursed for five minutes, he remembered that his father was still listening, so he asked, "Dad, what are you asking me for? Long-distance is very expensive, you won't be playing at the office again, right? It's not good to always take advantage of the public!"

Fan Heng was stunned by Fan Wubing's words on the other side for a long time. He woke up until Fan Wubing stopped and cursed a little embarrassedly, "You little bastard! He said a lot of nonsense and walked around you. What did I want to say to you just now? Hum?"

"You seem to be - haven't spoken yet-" Fan Wubing thought about it carefully, and his father Fan Heng seemed to ask if he was there, and he really didn't have time to tell him anything.

"Uh--" Fan Heng snorted, then said, "By the way, I heard, how many satellites did you buy?"

Oh? Fan Wubing thought to himself, this matter has not been spread yet, how did you know? It seems that there is a traitor around you! What my dad can know is that you are wearing all over the sky?!

"Who did you hear?" Fan Wubing felt that he should dig deeper and caught the guy who sold him.

"Who else? Deputy Director Zhang just called me, how could I know! You kid are so capable that you actually bought a satellite! What can you do if you want that thing? Spend money randomly!" Fan Heng scolded him for a long time before saying, "But Lao Zhang told me that he can help you contact the business."

Oh, Fan Wubing now understands it.

It turns out that someone asked his father to reveal this information is nothing more than a reassurance for himself. It means that we already know about buying satellites. Not only do we not object, but we also need to support it. We have all done this. Are you embarrassed to push this business out there?

These old foxes! Fan Wubing shook his head, feeling very funny. However, this can be done. You should know that the international commercial satellite market has not been very prosperous in recent years. The most critical problem is that the application scope of satellites is too narrow.

The population of the entire Europe is only 700 million to 800 million, which is not as large as that of a country in China. However, the satellite market in Europe has become saturated. Many capable and powerful companies are competing for a small market with very small profits.
