Chapter 423 Why is recyclable rocket technology so difficult(1/2)
?
After thinking for a long time, Hu Lai decided to call Prince Salbi, the big dog owner.
The first thing is that it has been so long. Anyway, I still have to personally explain to Prince Charbi the progress of the "lunar probe" landing on the moon.
It just so happens that the "Voyager Space Station" project is now in place, which can be regarded as a reason to stabilize Prince Salbi.
The second thing.
Naturally, let’s talk about soft sister currency settlement.
After making up my mind, I silently calculated the time difference in my mind, and then dialed Prince Salbi's personal phone number.
After two short rings, the amiable voice of Prince Salbi came from the other end of the phone.
"Hu!"
"I'm so happy to receive a call from you personally."
"Let me guess, Sha. Are you calling me personally to tell me that there is new progress in the 'lunar exploration project' that we are cooperating with?"
Hu Lai suddenly smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, but not quite."
"That's right, Prince Salbi."
"The 'lunar exploration plan' we are cooperating with is advancing in an orderly and normal manner. I believe that we will soon see the 'lunar probe' we are cooperating with fly to the moon, collect lunar soil, and complete our scheduled scientific research tasks."
"but……"
"Before this, we have a better space program called the Voyager Space Station."
"In this plan, we will build a large-scale commercial space station. The space station will be composed of a large public module and twenty-four independent small space modules."
"I think you might be interested..."
It's beyond Hu Lai's expectation.
Before he could finish the introduction, Prince Charbi said apologetically:
"Hu, I'm very sorry..."
"I believe it is easy to build a space station with your technological level, but at present, if there is no substantial progress in our previous 'lunar exploration plan', it will be difficult for me to persuade my father to increase investment in your company.
…”
"You may not know..."
Having said this, Prince Charbi's voice was much lower than before.
"You may not know...because it has been more than a year since we signed the 'lunar exploration agreement' and there has been no progress."
"So now several royal family elders in the country have clearly expressed their dissatisfaction with this cooperation, and even used it to criticize the father's original decision for being too hasty."
"so……"
"We may not be able to participate in your Voyager Space Station plan this time."
Hu Lai looked stunned.
He suddenly felt that he was still a little optimistic.
But when I think about it carefully, I think it's right.
How did he sign the "lunar exploration plan" with the big dog in the first place?
It was due to the emergence of the "Tongtian Satellite" at that time that it shocked the world with its extraordinary communication capabilities that were several levels ahead of all communication satellites in the world. As a result, it suddenly gained great fame and prestige in the world.
At the same time, a CN-NB communications organization was also established to combat the monopoly of 3G-PP in the communications field, which completely attracted the attention of the world.
And what about the recent period?
On the one hand, it engages in a chip price war with Aramco in response to Aramco’s proactive blockade.
On the other hand, the focus within the group falls on somersault cloud engines and bionic robots.
As for the aerospace field, no new results have been shown to the world for more than a year.
In other words, the exposure and prestige gained when the "Tongtian Satellite" was launched have gradually waned over the past year or so.
And most importantly, it is also an objective fact.
at present.
Aramco is indeed the world's top player in rocket launches, spacecrafts, deep space exploration, lunar exploration, manned and other aerospace fields, and its comprehensive strength is far superior to Phoenix Group and Yanguo.
It’s no wonder that over time, doubts inevitably arise within the big dog owners.
Think of this.
Hu Lai had a new idea in his heart.
Before, I was thinking about whether to launch the "Voyager Space Station" project, which seemed a bit unrealistic and a bit "far away", but at present, it is very necessary!
The significance of the "Traveler Space Station" is not just about making money and points, but on a deeper level, it will further enhance the Phoenix Group's reputation and prestige around the world!
It’s time to continue to work hard in the aviation field.
After thinking about this clearly, Hu Lai simply did not continue talking about the "Voyager Space Station", and there was no need to embarrass Prince Salbi.
"OK, Prince Salbi, I understand your difficulties."
"You can also rest assured that the first phase of our cooperative 'lunar exploration plan': the landing of the 'lunar probe' on the lunar surface will soon make new progress, and the doubters will soon be silenced."
Perhaps Prince Charbi also felt that it was not good to directly reject Hu Lai's "Voyager Space Station" plan.
His tone also became much softer.
"Hu... As long as you really build a space station, I can make a promise to you now and we can buy an independent cabin."
"Haha! Okay, there's one more thing..."
Hu Lai laughed and said another incident this time.
"One more thing, now that our economic and trade exchanges are very frequent, we hope that your country can use soft currency for settlement. There should be no problem with this, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Salbi suddenly looked a little surprised.
"Hu, are you sure you want to settle with Soft Girl Coin?"
"The U.S. dollar is the strongest currency in the world and the most universal currency in the world. It is definitely the best choice for an international enterprise like yours..."
“Many international companies proactively ask for settlement with U.S. dollars when they cooperate with us. It’s hard to imagine why you offered to settle with soft currency!”
In shock, Salbi paused, then immediately showed a hint of nervousness, and lowered his voice and said:
"Hu... If you encounter some problems, such as your official obstruction, I can provide you with some solutions from a personal perspective..."
Hu Lai suddenly felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that Prince Salbi, who was thousands of kilometers away, would actually consider him sincerely.
In any case, the prince's words already meant that he regarded Hu Lai as a friend.
Without expecting the prince to continue speaking, Hu Lai interrupted directly.
"Thank you for your kindness, prince."
"I did this for the sake of the company's business."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a moment he said:
"I understand, there is no problem with this matter."
"Once all business with you is settled using SoftMei coins, we will also increase the settlement amount of SoftMei coins in our crude oil trade with your country!"
This is what Hu Lai wants.
After talking about the business, the two chatted for a while.
After hanging up the phone, Hu Lai looked at the computer screen blankly. He had planned to call the Prince of the United Arab Emirates to talk about the "Voyager Space Station", but after thinking about it at this time, he decided not to do it.
The previous success of the "Tongtian Satellite" made many countries show great courtesy to the Phoenix Group, which also made Hu Lai feel a little elated.
But over time, the short-term influence dissipated due to Aramco’s strong aerospace capabilities. At this time, there was no need to find anyone else!
Everything has to wait until the space station is actually launched. By then, I believe that a lot of people will beg the Phoenix Group for cooperation!
Having made up his mind, Hu Lai immediately called Director Zhang.
Lao Zhang is in charge of all the business of the group, so if anything happens, he will find Lao Zhang immediately.
As soon as they met, Hu Lai took the lead in asking about the progress of the "lunar probe" landing on the moon.
Unexpectedly.
Hu Lai originally thought that there would not be much progress. Unexpectedly, after the last large-scale acquisition of many rocket engine companies and several deep space exploration companies around the world, the "lunar probe" project team has become stronger, and the plan has made even more progress.
Breakthrough progress!
What excites Hu Lai the most is...
Because the Phoenix Institute has a sufficient budget and a relatively relaxed scope of scientific research, the relaxed academic environment has attracted several of the world's top physicists to start research projects at the Phoenix Institute!
Immediately afterwards, Director Zhang directly reported the latest progress of the "lunar exploration" plan.
To be continued...
