Facing the serious looks of Wu Hao and Zhou Xiangming, Yu Chengwu nodded in response and then explained.
"This is what I think. There are already so many projects. If we build a space station again, the market and commercial benefits may not be as objective as ours. After all, there will still be very few people going to space for a long time to come. Now.
So many companies and countries are developing their own space stations, and the market has basically been divided up.
If we continue to participate in it, we may not be able to get much, and it may also attract criticism and complaints from all parties.
Therefore, I suggest that we cancel the project to build a commercial space station and concentrate all resources on other projects, such as lunar scientific research stations and so on.
Of course, if we need the space station to complete some projects, I think it is the same whether we can cooperate with the aerospace department to build our cabin on the Tiangong Space Station."
It is not that we have never thought about this idea of ​​cooperating with the aerospace department to dock our cabins on Tiangong and expand the space in Tiangong. However, when we tried it later, we encountered great resistance and difficulties. In the end, we gave up and chose to build our own business independently.
The project plan for the space station. Before Wu Hao could speak, Zhou Xiangming took the lead and spoke out. There was a hint of worry in his words. It was obvious that he was not very optimistic about this project.
"This time, that time." Yu Chengwu said with a smile.
"We had nothing at the beginning, and then we said we were going to build a commercial space station. No matter how good our words were, everyone would have to guess and judge whether what we said was true. Are we really planning to build a commercial space station, or are we just planning to build a commercial space station?
A gimmick, a gimmick to make money.
On the other hand, given our technical strength at the time, others might not necessarily think highly of us, so it was natural for us to have such an attitude.
But now it's different."
Yu Chengwu said with a smile: "Now that we have our own manned spacecraft, we have our own medium and heavy launch vehicles, and our technical strength has been developed across domains.
And we already have the strength to build our own commercial space station, so others will naturally not question us when we speak."
"Cooperating with the aerospace sector has nothing to lose for us.
First of all, we save money on building a commercial space station. The cost of this project is very huge. If we can save this money, then other aerospace projects can be put on the agenda.
Secondly, our participation in the construction of Daotian Palace can greatly deepen our relationship with the aerospace department, which will also be beneficial to our subsequent related cooperation.
For example, the transportation of materials to the space station, the transportation of personnel, etc. Even the space tourism mentioned in our commercial space station can also be cooperated in this aspect. We can definitely dock several modules on the space station. I believe they should
Will agree.
Finally, we can save a lot of time to carry out other projects, such as the lunar scientific research station. What we lack most now is time, so I think we should not expand too much, concentrate our experience on such a few key projects, and
If they do well, it will be more powerful for our commercial aerospace development."
Hearing Yu Chengwu's words, Wu Hao frowned and began to think. Yu Chengwu, on the other hand, did not disturb him, but stood up and gently refilled Wu Hao's water glass himself.
Thank you. Wu Hao thanked him, then glanced at Yu Chengwu who returned to his seat, then turned to Zhou Xiangming and asked, "What do you think?"
Seeing Wu Hao turning to look at him, Zhou Xiangming gave a bitter smile, then looked at Yu Chengwu and said: "This idea is too sudden, I don't have any special ideas at the moment.
However, Mr. Yu is right about one thing, that is, there are many commercial space station projects now, and if we participate in them, the market benefits we can obtain are very limited.
Moreover, the development prospects of commercial space stations are relatively narrow, and the market benefit channels are relatively single. Therefore, if you want to pursue this project, you must be prepared to lose money and spend a lot of money.
However, if all are cancelled, some of our subsequent space activities will be inseparable from it, so if we can cooperate with Tiangong, then this commercial space station will be meaningless."
Therefore, Zhou Xiangming looked at Wu Hao and said: "If we can negotiate cooperation with the aerospace department, I would also be inclined to cancel the commercial space station construction project.
If we can't reach an agreement again, I will reserve my opinion."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this. Zhou Xiangming's opinion was actually very clear. The key lies in cooperation with the aerospace department. If the negotiation can be successful, then of course there is nothing to say. If the negotiation cannot be reached, then he may object.
As a technician and chief engineer, he thinks more about technical research and does not consider other aspects, or his consideration is not so comprehensive.
As for Yu Chengwu, as the general manager of Haoyu Aerospace, he not only considers the field of technology, but also considers market benefits. So he can now propose this idea. It is obvious that this is not a sudden thought, but has been considered repeatedly for a long time.
It took a long time, otherwise it would be impossible to say it to him.
Thinking of this, Wu Hao looked at Yu Chengwu and said, "You have been here for such a long time. I don't believe you haven't discussed this matter with the relevant leaders of the aerospace department. What do they think?"
Wu Hao knew that since Yu Chengwu could say such a thing, he must have done a lot of homework before, such as asking the leaders of the aerospace department for their opinions, etc.
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Yu Chengwu smiled to hide the embarrassment of being discovered, and then said to Wu Hao: "I had a chat with Qin Xinghe Qin Bureau before when he came to the Nanhai launch site to inspect the work. He himself was not aware of my idea.
I am very happy and expressed my support to bring about relevant cooperation.
It's just that we were just chatting and didn't talk about the matter seriously. If we cooperate, the other party will definitely make a series of requirements.
For example, if we want to build new cabins on the space station, then these cabins will also be open to the aerospace department, and there may be preferential treatment in terms of transportation of materials and personnel, etc.
In addition, personnel and materials entering the space station in the future will need to be reviewed by the aerospace department, and relevant experiments must be reported for review in advance, etc. We will lose a lot of autonomy."
After hearing Yu Chengwu's words, Zhou Xiangming waved his hand and said: "These will not affect us and will not have much impact on us. Moreover, all our scientific research projects are legal and legal, and there will be no problems."
When Wu Hao heard Zhou Xiangming's words, he nodded and said, "There won't be any problems with personnel. Our related projects have been reviewed and approved by the aerospace department."
