Chapter 448 Negotiations Break Down?! (Ch 448)

Next year, Xinghai Technology will entrust Xinghai Aerospace Company to launch more than 150 satellites?

Building a massive satellite network?!

Provide technical support for satellite services for subsequent 5G, satellite communications, smart Internet of Things, smart driving and other technologies.

“So many?”

150 satellites!

Apart from anything else, the cost of rocket launch alone is not a small number.

Even if we use the Kuaizhou rocket, which has a low launch cost and can launch multiple satellites with one rocket, it will still cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Not to mention the production cost of 150 satellites!

Li Yi actually didn’t pay much attention to Xinghai Technology’s satellite launch plan.

Otherwise he wouldn’t be a little surprised that 150 satellites will be launched next year.

In fact, 150 satellites are not a lot.

Space X’s Starlink project has been announced, which plans to use 42,000 satellites to replace traditional ground-based communication facilities, thereby providing low-cost, high-speed and stable satellite broadband services worldwide.

Compared with more than 40,000 satellites, Xinghai Technology’s 150 satellites are not even a fraction of that.

At this stage, it is very rare for a private company in Xia Country to launch so many satellites.

Just this order of 150 satellites, if given to Xinghai Aerospace Company, can also provide a lot of revenue, giving the company something to do.

Not to mention continuing the operation… With Li Yi’s financial support, Xinghai Aerospace Company can survive well even without any orders.

“This is just the first batch of satellites for Xinghai Technology’s intelligent Internet of Things. We will launch more satellites to build a larger satellite network in the future…”

The team that Zhang Liang belongs to was originally from Xinghai Technology.

I am very familiar with Xinghai Technology’s satellite coverage plan.

150 satellites are just the launch plan for next year.

And the minimum number of launches is 150.

Depending on the specific situation, the technological development of Xinghai Technology, the development of 5G technology, the technical applications of smart Internet of Things and unmanned driving… as well as the development of rocket technology, the number of satellites launched next year may far exceed 150.

Li Yi nodded slightly to show that he understood.

With the advent of the 5G era, the technological demands for smart Internet of Things and unmanned driving will also place great demands on satellites.

“When is the next launch planned? When is the launch planned for our own rocket?”

Li Yi also wants to see the rocket launch!

He has never been to the scene to see it, but he has a little interest.

As for Xinghai Aerospace’s own rocket launch plan…actually there are follow-ups.

The technology of the “Kuaizhou” introduced from aerospace technology needs to be thoroughly understood… The easiest thing is to get started directly! !

In addition, Xinghai Aerospace Company originally focused on the development of high-thrust rockets!

This technology has not been abandoned and research is still ongoing.

The introduction of the ‘Kuaizhou’ technology from Aerospace Science and Technology is simply because we don’t want to waste more time and resources on small rockets.

More research efforts are placed on large rockets.

Anyway, with Li Yi’s financial support, we can just blow up rockets, verify various technologies, collect various data…which can speed up the technological research.

As for rocket launch missions, Zhang Liang was only responsible for satellite research and development and design, so he was not very clear about them.

Huo Kaifeng, the person in charge of Xinghai Aerospace, said to Li Yi: “Starting from next year, there will be 1-2 rocket launches every month!”

At least 150 satellites will be launched next year.

As you can imagine, the launch missions will be very intensive.

Of course, the “Kuaizhou” of Aerospace Science and Technology has achieved multiple satellites launched with one rocket, and can send multiple satellites into the air in one launch mission.

Even so, due to launch windows, weather and other reasons, Xinghai Aerospace has launch missions every month.

In addition, Huo Kaifeng said: “In December this year, there will be two more rocket launch missions to send the last batch of 10 satellites this year. We will participate in the whole process and familiarize ourselves with all aspects of the data and technology of ‘Kuaizhou’!”

“We expect to start launching our own small rockets in January, and will subsequently begin verifying our own reusable technology.”

This speed is very fast!

After all, it is a small rocket technology introduced from aerospace technology, so of course it is fast!

As for large rockets, they are still being perfected.

After the failure of the launch of the large rocket of “Trajectory Space Technology”, Huo Kaifeng has led the team to make relevant technical optimizations and adjustments.

Optimization and adjustments are made in all aspects, from high-power aircraft engines to rocket bodies and control systems.

Li Yi wants to watch a rocket launch, and he can go in December.

If you want to watch Xinghai Aerospace’s own rocket launch… January is the time to do it!

“Okay, I’ll go check out the rocket launch at the end of January!”

Li Yi is going to watch Xinghai Aerospace’s own rocket launch.

Although the ‘Kuaizhou’ was built with aerospace technology, it was able to digest it so quickly because Huo Kaifeng had the ability to do so.

…

Li Yi is busy with the affairs of Xinghai Aerospace Company.

Several rounds of negotiations have been held regarding Xinghai Technology, Dami Company, and Youwei Company’s lawsuit against Apple Inc. for patent infringement on iPhone X.

The final negotiation did not seem very satisfactory!

The reason is very simple.

Apple cannot provide what Xinghai Technology, Dami Company, and Youwei Company need!

In other words… Apple will have to pay a huge price to meet the conditions put forward by Xinghai Technology, Dami Company, and Youwei Company.

The price is too high!

This is not something that the CEO of Kuaishou can decide. It requires the approval of the board of directors, who will then help to complete it at a huge cost.

Anyway, this incident has no impact on Li Yi’s company.

For Rice Company and Youwei Company, only some overseas markets were affected.

Patent litigation is a time-consuming matter, and three to five years is normal.

At present, some countries are following the actions of “Washington” and imposing sanctions on the Rice Company and Youwei Company in the same way as they did to the Xinghai Group, and banning the sale of the two companies’ products.

Some countries did not follow suit.

Although the lawsuits filed by Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Intel and other companies against Rice Company and Youwei Company have been accepted, the final decision on whether to ban the sale of Rice Company and Youwei Company’s products will be made based on the verdict.

Currently, the rice company has launched its own system and is still accumulating users and deepening its presence in the Xiaguo market.

The overseas market at this time is not the most important! !

As for Youwei Company…to put it bluntly, the mobile phone business is not even the real core business of Youwei Company.

In many countries and regions, much of the telecommunications infrastructure is built by companies and is indispensable.

It is simply impossible for these countries and regions to target promising companies.

The Rice Company and Youwei Company are not too anxious. Even though some overseas markets are affected, the impact is not very big.

The one who is really anxious is Apple!!

Xiaguo has long become Apple’s largest market.

This year, Dami Company launched two series of full-screen mobile phones and a folding-screen mobile phone… Youwei Company also launched full-screen mobile phones and folding-screen mobile phones.

Compared with the three models launched by Apple this year, only iPhoneX is a little competitive… The other two models are not competitive at all, the prices are high… There is really no cost-effectiveness to speak of.

Compared with the Note3 series and Mix2 series launched by Xiaomi, PhoneX has no advantages or cost-effectiveness.

The full-screen mobile phones launched by Dami and Youwei are more mature in design and technology, and have a higher cost-effectiveness.

Coupled with the current public opinion: Xinghai Group, Yinfu Group, Dami Company, Youwei Company, and Loongson are all being targeted, which arouses the patriotic sentiment of netizens!

Apple’s iPhone 8 series has no one interested in it, and sales have plummeted by more than 80%!

The iPhoneX market is quite hot. If the sale is banned due to a joint lawsuit filed by Xinghai Technology, Dami Company and Youwei Company… Apple can directly announce that it has lost the Xiaguo market.

The damage caused is not a small amount of money… tens of billions of US dollars!

If this goes on for a long time…the loss will be incalculable!
