The Start Of Technology Live Broadcast To Build Rockets

Chapter 20 – Starlight Technology and Space Exploration

Beijing, Headquarters of Xingyao Space Technology Co., Ltd.

This is a commercial aerospace company established in 2016. It mainly develops commercial launch vehicles and provides systematic launch solutions.

Its founder, Dong Jiangbo, was the director of the rocket body design office of the First Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology and the director of the rocket research and development center.

In his team, there are also many talents from various institutes of aerospace science and technology, and they have close ties with the space agency.

In fact, the top executives and researchers of the few aerospace science and technology companies in China are all from the space agency and its research institutes.

After all, this thing is too high-end, most people don’t understand it. The space agency also deliberately released these talents to promote the development of China Commercial Aerospace Corporation.

In the office, Du Xingyu was introduced by Liu Yuan and met Dong Jiangbo, the president of Xingyao Space Technology Company.

Dong Jiangbo is fifty-three years old this year. He has a blessed figure and a bald figure. He looks more good-faced and smiles like Maitreya Buddha.

“Mr. Dong, this is Mr. Du Xingyu.” The assistant brought Du Xingyu in and said.

“Haha, Junior Brother is here? Come on, please sit down!” Dong Jiangbo stood up and greeted.

“Junior Brother?” Du Xingyu was taken aback, and he didn’t understand this name.

Upon seeing this, Dong Jiangbo was surprised: “Didn’t the teacher tell you? I was also a student of Professor Liu. I also graduated from Aviation University, but I was dozens of years earlier than you.”

“It turned out to be Senior Brother!” Du Xingyu said.

Dong Jiangbo looked at Du Xingyu up and down, and said with emotion: “It’s terrible, terrible. When I graduated, how could I build any rocket? You are so outstanding at such a young age, and the times have changed! New trendsetters are about to appear!”

“Brother is absurd.” Du Xingyu communicated with him for a while. Dong Jiangbo was very enthusiastic and also introduced him to the current situation of Xingyao Space Technology.

“To be honest, although Xingyao is the top three commercial rocket company in China, our strength is very limited compared with foreign companies.” Dong Jiangbo said, “The market value of the entire company is now more than one billion yuan, which is not as good as others’ fractions. ”

“For rockets, only a few small liquid rockets have been developed so far. I’m afraid it will disappoint you.”

Du Xingyu is indeed a little disappointed. Xingyao is already one of the top commercial rocket companies in China, but its strength can at most send a few micro-satellites to the sky. I don’t know how far it is from a company like Space Exploration Technology Company!

But this is the current status of the domestic commercial aerospace industry. Du Xingyu has met with representatives of several companies in the past few days, and the technology of other companies is not much higher.

“The company is a little smaller, but the future is unlimited!” Dong Jiangbo continued, “Your recovery of the Long March 5 carrier rocket has made the commercial aerospace market a big hit. A lot of capital has already been found and wants to invest in us! “(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Brother, as long as you are willing to become our Xingyao’s senior technical consultant. I guarantee that you will enjoy the highest level of treatment in the company, which is higher than mine! In addition to the annual salary of one million, I will personally transfer part of the company’s shares to you!”

“Our brothers and sisters have joined forces, and we will definitely have a place in the future commercial aerospace market!”

Dong Jiangbo looked at Du Xingyu with an eager expression. He has a close relationship with the Space Agency. He thought of it since the space agency agreed to let Du Xingyu be the technical consultant of the commercial company.

If Xingyao can master the rocket recovery technology, no accident, they will soon develop into the top commercial rocket company in the country and even in the world!

Du Xingyu did not directly agree, considering all aspects, Xingyao Company is indeed more suitable.

He said: “Brother, you want me to join your company, it’s not impossible. In addition to these, I have one more request.”

“What’s the requirement? Just mention it! As long as it can be met, I will definitely satisfy you!” Dong Jiangbo said in a magnificent manner.

Du Xingyu slowed down and said slowly: “If I am allowed to join Xingyao to develop commercial rockets, I will need tens of billions of capital reserves and a corresponding team to help R&D. You can rest assured that I don’t want this money, but The development of new aerospace technology requires capital investment!”

“Ten billion?” Dong Jiangbo was taken aback, and said with a wry smile: “Junior brother, you are embarrassing me! Even if Xingyao is sold, it can only be sold for a billion at most. Where can I get the tens of billions? Unless there is capital willing to invest tens of billions of dollars in us!”

Du Xingyu smiled and confidently said, “If I join, there must be a way for my senior.”

Scientific research is to spend money, and space exploration technology is the cutting edge of science and technology. If tens of millions are invested in it, a single wave cannot be hit.

Without money, what do you use to develop commercial spacecraft?

“You… really will give me a problem.” Dong Jiangbo thought for a while and said: “There are indeed capitals willing to invest in us, and the amount is only about 1 billion. It is too difficult to want them to pay tens of billions! ”

“If I go to negotiate, Junior Brother, can I borrow your name?” Dong Jiangbo asked.

“Yes.” Du Xingyu nodded.

“That’s still a little bit possible.” Dong Jiangbo said, Du Xingyu represents rocket recovery technology, this technology is worth tens of billions, and may be able to move investors.

“I’m not sure about this matter, I can only say to do my best.” Dong Jiangbo said, “You are here these days, I will treat you well!”

“No need, brother.” Du Xingyu said, “It’s not that I’m hypocritical, it’s because there are too many things these days. When I’m free, I must have a few more drinks with my brother.”

“Understand, understand, then I won’t keep you, go, I will send you!”

The negotiations between Du Xingyu and Dong Jiangbo came to an end. He also had the same conditions for several other companies. Several companies had already refused because they could not spend so much money.

However, apart from China’s commercial aerospace, commercial aerospace companies in other countries heard about this and sent representatives to China to discuss with Du Xingyu.

Beijing, inside a science and technology building, in a high-rise office. Du Xingyu met several big names in the investment industry, as well as entrepreneurs from the United States.

“This is Zhang Mu and Mr. Zhang of the New Venture Fund; Mr. Edward of the Inno Angel Fund; Huang Kai and Mr. Huang of Prosperity Capital… and the CEO of Tesla, the chairman of the board of directors of Suncity, and the founder of Space Exploration Technology. People, Mr. Elon Musk!” The introducer is introducing the capitalists present.

Du Xingyu shook hands with them one by one, and the few people naturally inevitably made a few compliments and polite words.

Du Xingyu was not very interested in several investors. Only when Elon Musk shook hands with him, the two looked at each other, and both saw a curiosity for the unknown in the eyes of each other.

After a few gossips, everyone entered the topic.

Du Xingyu said straightforwardly: “Everyone, I know your intentions. But I myself work for the China National Space Administration, and it is impossible to go out to start a business or do anything. If you want to invest, you should invest in those commercial aerospace companies.”

“Mr. Du misunderstood, we just want to make friends.” Zhang Mu smiled.

“Yes, make friends.” Several other investors nodded one after another.

“In fact, the most important thing today should be Mr. Musk to discuss with Mr. Du.” Huang Kai, as a broker, said to Du Xingyu: “Mr. Musk appreciates your talent very much and wants to invite you to become a space exploration technology company. Technology consultant.”

Hearing this, Du Xingyu frowned slightly, and he knew that something like this would happen. Although a foreign company is good, he will never join!
