Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"Mr. Liu, is your Ministry of Aviation Industry really so short of money?"

After the meeting, Xu Huasheng and Liu Miao came to an office. Looking at Liu Miao in front of him, Xu Huasheng couldn't help asking.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, which department in our country is not short of money now? Even our Ministry of Aerospace Industry is short of money. Many projects cannot be started temporarily because of lack of money. Otherwise, I wouldn't come to you to try my luck..."

Liu Miao couldn't help sighing.

Hearing this, Xu Huasheng's eyes turned.

"If that's the case, I have a big business. I wonder if your Ministry of Aerospace Industry dares to take it?"

Xu Huasheng's words immediately aroused Liu Miao's interest.

"What business? How big?"

Liu Miao asked directly, and Xu Huasheng stretched out a finger.

"One hundred million?"

Liu Miao asked quickly, and this number made Liu Miao swallow his saliva.

"No, it's 10 billion, and it's US dollars..."

When Xu Huasheng finished speaking, Liu Miao's eyes widened, and his whole body couldn't help shaking.

A $10 billion business, this is a business that their Ministry of Aerospace Industry dare not even think about. Liu Miao swallowed his saliva and looked up at Xu Huasheng.

"Mr. Liu, have you heard of the satellite navigation system?"

Xu Huasheng asked with a smile.

"GPS?"

Liu Miao asked back, and Xu Huasheng nodded.

"Yes, this is a huge market in the world. In addition to military use, the civilian market is very large. All means of transportation can use it. Not only ships and airplanes, but also cars, and future mobile phones, etc. Satellite navigation systems plus navigation maps can make people's travel more convenient. For example, we now go out and drive to unfamiliar places. We need to ask for directions, but if we have a satellite navigation system, we don't need to do it at all..."

Xu Huasheng began to tell Liu Miao about the use of satellite navigation systems in the civilian market.

The civilian market for navigation systems is very large, especially in the future. Don't think that navigation maps will be free in the future, and mobile phone chips will have built-in navigation functions. But you look free, but in fact you have already paid.

Whether it is a chip manufacturer or a navigation map service provider, they all need to pay service fees to GPS and Beidou.

Not to mention the various more advanced positioning devices used on airplanes, ships, and trucks. This market is a trillion-level market.

Although the initial investment is large, the later returns are also high.

In the original time and space, China really developed the Beidou system in 2006. At that time, the European Union forced China to launch the Galileo navigation system on the grounds of public safety, which made China's investment of several years go down the drain. From that time, China realized that it was better to rely on itself than on anyone else, and began to vigorously develop its own navigation system.

Until June 23, 2020, all 55 satellites of the Beidou satellite navigation system were successfully launched, marking that my country's Beidou navigation system, which invested 12 billion US dollars and took 26 years, was fully completed.

This process is difficult, bumpy, and sad. Now, Xu Huasheng wants to advance this timeline by many years to make this process smoother and let China have more say in this regard.

At the same time, having a satellite navigation system earlier also plays a very important role in China's military construction.

"Mr. Liu, if you take this business. In the end, the whole system will be successfully built. Our company will hand over this system to the country. We don't want military functions. Our company only wants the civilian market..."

Xu Huasheng said directly. The whole system is handed over to the country, and Huasheng Group only wants the civilian market. This business is not a loss for the Ministry of Aerospace Industry. After all, the money is paid by Huasheng Group. They don't want this system, nor do they use it for military purposes. They just want a civilian market. This is not too much.

In the room, Liu Miao was shocked by Xu Huasheng's words and didn't speak for a long time.

It's really too big a business, and he can't make a decision at all.

"Mr. Xu, I'll go back..."

After a long time, Liu Miao raised his head.

This business is too big, Liu Miao can't make a decision, he needs to go back, go back and report in person to see if his unit is willing to do this job.

"Okay..."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile.

Things are in the hands of people. As for whether the Ministry of Aviation Industry will accept this business, we can only wait. If it is accepted, Xu Huasheng will work hard to make money. If it is not accepted, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the company has enough projects now, so we can take it slowly.

Liu Miao did not delay for a minute and returned to his unit as quickly as possible.

When Liu Miao reported this matter, the entire Ministry of Aviation Industry was directly blown up.

10 billion US dollars, satellite navigation system, any of these two thingsOne thing is enough to shock the entire Ministry of Aerospace Industry.

As for whether Huasheng Group has this money, the boss of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry really knows this. He knows that Xu Huasheng really has this money.

Few people in China know that Xu Huasheng made 50 billion US dollars in oil, but the boss of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry is one of them.

Although Huasheng Group has taken on many large projects recently, it is said that it is preparing to invest 100 billion yuan in the telecommunications field, and is preparing to spend 5 billion yuan on large aircraft, invest in Pudong, and build a headquarters.

But Xu Huasheng has a lot of money, 50 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 200 billion yuan. Calculating the money spent by Huasheng Group, even if the money for those big projects is taken out, the funds in Huasheng Group are more than 10 billion US dollars.

So, Huasheng Group definitely has this money.

Now, the rest is simple.

Does the Ministry of Aerospace Industry dare to take this project? Can it take this project? After all, the satellite navigation system is not an ordinary thing. It is a great weapon of a great power. Even in the current United States, the entire satellite navigation system has not been fully networked.

The technical difficulty of this system is very high. For China, this technology is blank. Of course, he also knows how important this system is to China.

"Chief..."

In Yanjing, in an office in a large compound, Lin Zuotang walked into an office.

"Oh, Lao Lin is here, come, sit down..."

In the office, an old man who was reading a document saw Lin Zuotang and laughed.

"Chief, there is an urgent matter, I need to report to you."

Lin Zuotang's expression made the old man look up.

"It's like this. Didn't Huasheng Group launch a large aircraft project some time ago? Our unit also sent people to join in the fun and see if there is any business to do. I didn't expect that Mr. Xu really gave us a business, but this business is a bit big..."

Lin Zuotang recounted the whole story. When he heard that Xu Huasheng was going to invest 10 billion US dollars in the satellite navigation system, the old man in the room looked serious.

"This is really not a small matter. The satellite navigation system, even the United States has not yet completed it. This is a major weapon of a great country, and it really cannot tolerate any mistakes. How about this, let's hold a meeting to discuss it..."

The old man said seriously, and Lin Zuotang nodded. This matter is too important and it really cannot tolerate any mistakes.
