Chapter 44: Lao Zhang is promoted!
"Luckily I'm still in Beijing, otherwise I would have to go back and forth again." Fan Wubing replied.
Regarding Kevin, Fan Wubing asked him to live in Beijing temporarily and live in a unit building within the sphere of influence of the Ministry of Security. At the same time, he specially arranged his bodyguards to take care of them in Zuojin, just in case.
After talking to Davis, I realized that there are many large companies who want to rent Fan Wubing's communication satellite this time. It was not that they had no money to do it themselves, but the satellite launch market has been in a downturn recently. Whether it is the foreign satellite launch market or the domestic satellite launch market, there have been repeated mistakes recently, and there have been constant reports of satellite destruction and arrow death. The Americans have suspended satellite launches, China is also repairing, and France has been sluggish for a long time.
This led to people suddenly discovering that they can’t buy ready-made satellites even if they have money, but some commercial problems, such as information exchange, can’t wait for a few years. Therefore, everyone hopes to borrow communication satellites under Fan’s Investment Group to provide network communication services to themselves.
"In fact, the price they offered was already very good. If it weren't for the sluggish international satellite market, the five-year usage cost would probably be enough for them to buy and launch their own communications satellite." Davis said to his boss Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing immediately said a little disdainfully, "What role can a communication satellite play? This thing needs at least three combined to achieve the effect."
Communication satellites are different from ordinary scientific research satellites and military satellites. They need to enter geosynchronous orbits and keep in sync with the ground. Otherwise, there will be no way to find stars through fixed antennas, and naturally there will be no way to perform activities such as network communication services and television signal broadcasts.
At an altitude of about 36,000 kilometers above the equator, as long as there are three communication satellites, they can cover the communication range of all regions in the world except the two poles. Therefore, Fan Wubing bought three communication satellites instead of two or four.
As for some customers who say that the renting fee of five years is enough to buy a communication satellite, it is just nonsense. If you have the ability, you can buy three at once, otherwise you don’t say anything that can be used with one. That’s irresponsible.
The satellite bought by Fan Wubing was originally a commercial communication satellite ordered by Australia's Osset Company from Hughes, the United States. This satellite has a high capacity, large tonnage and long life. It represents the advanced level of communication satellites in today's world, and can meet the business needs of various aspects such as television, radio, voice, data, overseas markets, mobile communications such as telephone, telegraph, professional networks, etc.
Therefore, international customers want to rent satellites. At this critical moment, Fan Wubing certainly refused to let these big fat sheep goats easily. After all, the situation is now tight, and they don’t care if they spend a little more money. If they missed today, they could really buy satellites themselves.
That's it, but earning money in your pocket is money, so Fan Wubing and Davis came to the Fan Satellite Communications Service Company in Beijing to see the current work situation and ask how many services can be provided in his current state and will it affect the company's own business?
As soon as I arrived at the place, I found that the guards were tightly guarded. There were active-duty soldiers standing guard outside the door. I couldn't help but frightened Fan Wubing and thought to myself, when will my company be under military control?
"Military important places, idlers are not allowed to enter." The guards at the door saw Fan Wubing and Davis and others coming to stop, and immediately stepped forward to stop.
When Fan Wubing saw that the soldiers guarding were all wearing submachine guns, and the magazines on his waist were all covered with empty guns. Obviously, they would not be empty guns. He asked curiously, "Is this the Fan Satellite Communication Service Company?"
"Yes." The soldier replied.
"Then why can't I go in?" Fan Wubing felt a little curious when he implemented this question, "You are not from the company, how could you not know me?"
"I don't know. I'm here today to perform official duties, and no idlers are allowed to approach, otherwise they will be engaged in military law." A non-commissioned officer walked up, pulled the insurance, and said to Fan Wubing with a stern face.
"It's unreasonable-" Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment and shouted, "My own company!"
"Don't make noise at will!" the non-commissioned officer scolded with a stern face.
After looking at the dozen soldiers with live ammunition, Fan Wubing had to retreat and then started calling the company, wanting to ask what was going on and why the company's door was blocked by the military?
Soon He Yun walked out, spoke to the leading non-commissioned officer, and then put Fan Wubing and others in.
"What's going on?" Fan Wubing asked with some displeasure.
Although many of the people in the company were once active-duty soldiers, they are now ordinary people who have left their military status and follow Fan Wubing to do their careers. If they want to build an international large company, they cannot maintain too close relationships with the government and the military on the surface. Otherwise, they will easily be criticized by foreigners, which is very unfavorable for entering the international market in the future.
Therefore, when Fan Wubing suddenly found that the door of his company was blocked by the military, he felt very unhappy.
He Yun did not wear a professional suit today, but a flower skirt, with thin makeup, and carefully tidy hair. He also wore slim high heels, which surprised Fan Wubing.
"Are you - on a blind date?" Fan Wubing asked carefully.
He Yun, a white and a white fan, said, "I am so busy, how can I have time to go on blind dates? This time, there is an inspection team from the State Council. Now we are conducting research in our company. Only you will think of blind dates. It's really inexplicable! I don't know what's going on!"
"Why did the State Council conduct research and pull all the military people?" Fan Wubing pointed at the big-headed soldiers and asked.
Of course, this matter is very strange. People from the State Council come to investigate. Generally, the police cooperate with the security work. How can they use the army to ensure security? Something is wrong? Fan Wubing shook his head repeatedly, feeling more and more suspicious, so he asked, "Which department is coming to investigate?"
"Of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission." He Yun said to Fan Wubing.
Damn! It turns out that he is Director Zhang’s subordinate! I just don’t know if he has come here too? It seems like this, it must have arrived, otherwise there will be no need to send military personnel to the security guards, right?
Sure enough, when Fan Wubing and others entered the computer room inside the building under the leadership of He Yun, they saw Director Zhang leading a group of experts to ask questions here, and some people in their company were also communicating with the experts who came over, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
But this is understandable. His team was originally extorted by the military, and many of the experts from the National Defense Science and Technology Commission serve the military. Many of them have relationships, including father and son, master and apprentice, and even husband and wife. Fan Wubing estimated that if something happened in his company, the first thing he knew about was not necessarily himself, but the military.
This situation is really helpless, and I can only hope that the graduates I recruited from universities and the experts I brought back from Ukraine can slowly come in handy and take on this burden. Otherwise, the company would have to be a semi-official institution that I paid for.
"Hello, Mr. Fan! It's really strange to see you, a busy man!" Director Zhang saw Fan Wubing at a glance, and walked over with a smile, shook hands with him.
"Director Zhang is here to guide, and the glory is shining! When the leaders come, they must leave some magic tricks for us ordinary people to admire." Fan Wubing made his request a bit evilly.
"You kid, you can pick up whatever pot you don't have." Director Zhang said with some laughter and cry.
When the central government came in, it had clear requirements for the inscriptions of leaders and could not be written at will. Especially for leaders in important leadership positions, there were some rules and regulations to limit them. Therefore, after hearing this, Director Zhang felt a little urge to feel sorry for Fan Wuyan.
This time they came here to see the operation of Fan's satellite communications service company. After all, many of the people here are from the military. They want to communicate with the two girls, Lin Xiaotong, the company's administrative director and He Yun, the business director, can just speak, which is equivalent to undermining Fan Wubing.
"Why are there any military guards for you to come here this time?" Fan Wubing asked Director Zhang to sit down in his office, and then asked curiously.
Although he didn't come too much, he still had an office, so that once he came here, he had to have an office space, otherwise his boss would be too unstable. Therefore, it is also a common practice to retain the president's office among all the companies under his Fan Investment Group.
"You should know that our National Defense Science and Technology Commission has always had a military background." Director Zhang said to Fan Wubing, "This time, my director is worthy of his name."
"Oh? The word in front of your director has been removed?" Fan Wubing was suddenly excited when he heard the news.
The National Defense Science and Technology Commission has great power. When Director Zhang was the director, he had many aspects of management. Now he has finally been promoted to a serious director and has become the veritable Director Zhang. This step is very important, which means that he is finally in charge of the country.
After all, Fan Wubing needs to develop high-tech industries in China and is indispensable to contact the military, especially the National Defense Science and Technology Commission manages many military scientific research bases, which is very important for Fan Wubing. If Director Zhang has a great help, it will be much more convenient to do things.
