.

"Go and get the spare parts quickly. Bring all the spare parts with you!" The Simpsons panicked and shouted loudly.

Not only him was panicked, but all the American staff were panicked!

Everyone was shouting, trying to direct others to do this and that.

All the power supply was turned off, completely shutting down! Even the lights in the factory were all turned off. In the huge factory, only a figure was seen running, running around like a headless fly.

It took several minutes before Simpson woke up.

He tried his best to calm all the technicians down, loaded the satellites onto heavy trailers with loading trucks.

The US security personnel were tightly surrounded by the trailer. At this time, they could no longer care whether they were driving the Chinese or Americans. The road-cutting alert motor pulled a shrill alarm, and the convoy rushed towards the laboratory quickly. A group of technicians in white coats chased behind panting.

The Chinese alert motorcycle rushed to the laboratory first, and the soldiers jumped out of the car's bucket and immediately opened the laboratory gate.

Several other soldiers rushed forward quickly and rushed to the laboratory to prepare in advance.

As soon as they rushed to the gate, they collided head-on with a young girl who ran out. The girl was knocked out by force and fell to the ground.

The soldier quickly helped her up and asked hurriedly: "Are you a Consortium Researcher here?

Is there anyone else? The laboratory is about to be sorted out! There is a problem with the American satellite and it needs to be tested immediately!"

The woman seemed a little confused. After a few seconds, she replied: "Someone, there is another person inside doing an experiment!"

The captain who led the team anxiously ordered the soldiers to rush to inform them, asking the researcher who was still doing the experiment to come out quickly.

The soldiers rushed to the door of the laboratory, looked in, stunned for a moment, turned around and said to the girl, "No one! There is not a single person in the laboratory!"

"Impossible! I was with him just now!" The girl got up from the ground and rushed to the laboratory. Sure enough, there was no one inside!

Director Zhou was also running, he followed closely behind the US researcher and asked loudly: "How is it? Is the situation serious? Will it affect the launch?"

The technicians from the US side didn't bother to answer him until a truck drove over and picked everyone up, then gasped and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as the key chips are not burned out, we have a way to fix them! But, your laboratory should be advanced enough!"

"The laboratory is absolutely advanced! This is a laboratory we only built this year! It uses Japanese instruments, and they are all first-class at present!" Director Zhou frowned and assured them.

Simpson and others didn't care about the question why the Japanese sold their latest instruments. They all said happily: "That's fine! Although the navigation board is important, the replacement is not complicated, one day, at most two days. We can repair it! Ensure that the launch can be carried out on time!"

Director Zhou let out a long sigh and leaned against the car gang.

He looked back at the location of the factory and suddenly felt a little strange. Where did Xiao Qiang go? It seemed that for a while, he didn't see him anymore!

He had a bad premonition in his heart.

Xiao Qiang...

The convoy rushed to the laboratory quickly. The gate of the hospital was very wide enough for the trailer to drive directly into it.

Director Zhou jumped out from behind the car and saw a group of soldiers walking towards him around a young girl.

The officer who led the team pulled him aside and whispered: "Chief! This girl has a situation to report. It is said that a lieutenant colonel from your National Defense Science and Technology Commission entered the laboratory, but he did not see him coming out! Now foreigners have borrowed this laboratory..."

Director Zhou's heart sank in waves!

What else is there to ask! Things are so strange. The satellite ground was detected to have a fault. Xiao Qiang occupied the best laboratory and then disappeared!

Surprisingly, he showed no expression and looked extremely calm.

He said to the officer: "Call up all those who know this and replace them for a rest! This matter can only be told to the highest leader of the base and not allowed to talk to anyone outside! Do you understand?"

"Yes!" The officer quickly gathered all his subordinates and retreated after the US took over the protection outside the laboratory.

Director Zhou glanced at the girl. He knew this girl and also knew whose daughter she was, the wild girl from the Yuan family.

He no longer wants to ask about the incident!

If it weren't for Xiao Qiang, he would have thought that this was just an accident.

But it was Xiao Qiang. He knew what this person had done in the past and what he wanted to do now!

The conclusion is already destined!

He took Yuan Yetong to the base building and found the base head. The two of them had been discussing for a long time. Both sides agreed that the most important thing at the moment was to keep the secret strictly.

Then, he alone, borrowed the confidential phone number from the base and made a long distance.

The call lasted for more than two hours.

After he hung up the phone, he immediately asked the base security department to buy a ticket to Beijing for Yuan Yexin by phone, and accompanied her to the airport in person, watching her board the plane, and returned until after the plane took off.

Next, he was busy with peace of mind, as if nothing had happened.

The satellite's overload protection circuit plays a role, and high-quality electronic components protect the circuit board. The US technicians, together with the Hughes satellite experts who rushed from the United States on the third day, replaced several integrated circuits and repaired the satellite.

Including Hughes, insurance companies, China, and Asian Satellite TV stations, they are afraid that there will be another problem with the satellite. Asian TV station once proposed to give up the satellite and order one again. After negotiations with the US for a few days, they finally reached an agreement: the satellite price is reduced by 30%! and make a guarantee. Once the satellite is in the sky, the insurance company will be responsible for compensation and launch a new satellite for Asian TV stations!

The satellite, originally scheduled to be launched on April 7, was dragged until the end of April.

The weather was very clear that day. In order to reduce atmospheric floating objects, the emission was still carried out at night.

At half past nine o'clock, with the command of "ignition" coming from the command center three kilometers away from the launch site, the operator pressed the start ground button!

A long fire dragon lit up the launching site in the quiet night.

Journalists from the Century Area took pictures of this exciting moment. Due to the many disasters and difficulties of this satellite, in addition to CCTV, it was broadcast live nationwide, and even a large number of news media from all over the world sent reporters to broadcast.

A reporter from TASS said: "It is like a burning torch that illuminates the night sky and reaches the sky! This smooth launch symbolizes China's spaceflight and begins to step out of the self-enclosed small stage and step onto the big stage of world commercial satellite launch! Its success will surely encourage this country to move forward towards a brighter future!"

In the control room, there was no atmosphere of joy, and no one dared to be careless before the Rocket reached the predetermined orbit.

Many national leaders, as well as envoys to China, as well as leaders of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, General Equipment Department, etc., were outside the glass partition wall, watching the tracking data on the big screen.

The CEO of ATV was very nervous. He was also the representative of Hughes and insurance companies. In just twenty minutes, they had wiped their sweat dozens of times. They also took off their glasses. After removing them, they all seemed restless.

Ground reception stations, ocean surveying ships. The normal signal of the rocket's flight attitude comes from one monitoring point.

From the screen, it can be seen that the rocket's flight trajectory completely coincides with the predetermined route. There is no deviation.

Every time such a message is broadcast, it will attract a lot of applause. The envoys in many countries in China whisper and praise the accuracy of this launch!

More than twenty minutes later, the Rockets had reached the predetermined height of the star arrow separation. The executives of ATV and local personnel from the US stood up from the chairs!

The satellite successfully detached from the payload compartment and quickly separated from the rocket and drifted to the predetermined transfer orbit.

The rocket continued to fly into outer space until the fuel was completely exhausted and became a floating object in space.

"I announce that the commercial satellite launch mission undertaken by Xichang Satellite Launch Center has been a complete success!" With the arrival of the monitoring station, the satellite radar has been successfully launched, and the news of contacting the ground station has been heard, and the director of the launch site announced the complete success of the satellite launch mission!

Countless laughter and tears burst out at this moment!

Hug, hug everyone!

Whether you know or not is no longer important! Identity. Don’t care about you at this moment. Everyone is hugging each other tightly with the people around you, celebrating the moment of victory!

The CEO of ATV was so excited that he couldn't speak, but just held the hand of the director of the launch center and shook it repeatedly.

Representatives of Hughes and Insurance Company saw their heads full of big heads on each other's faces.

Khan. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, both rushed forward to express their most sincere congratulations to China!

Director Zhou. At this moment of celebration, he left the command center and Xichang, and flew back to Beijing quietly.

At the airport, he sat in a arranged car. He did not return to the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, but rushed directly to Huanyu Company.

Logically speaking, Universal Company is in the suburbs. However, Beijing has developed very rapidly in the past two years, and the city continues to develop a large number of outsiders. It has begun to pour into the capital.

Now, farmlands are flattened out and buildings are rising from the ground.

According to this trend, it won’t take long, including the location where Universal Company is located, and it will probably be included in the urban area of ​​Beijing...

Although Master Zhou looked at the scene flying outside the window, his mind was echoing the content of his phone contact that day.

Especially the last part of the phone, he thought about it for a long time before he figured out the truth. He was able to do this trip to the Universal Company with a calm attitude.

"Sanction him? Who is it better for him? Is it the country, he. or foreign?"

...

"He is still patriotic! As long as he is patriotic, it's better to stay outside than stay inside! He stays inside the mechanism sooner or later, it will become a time bomb, and the damage caused will be far greater than the achievements! Putting it outside will make a great contribution to the country, and as for the others, it is also his personal gains and losses!"

"Scared? What's there to be afraid of! No matter how powerful an organization is, it can survive a country? What's more, its foundation is all patriotic scientists! Can he steal, how much can he steal? Can he steal the American arsenal? Even if he steals one piece a day, he can produce ten or hundreds of pieces a day! This is the power of the country! He doesn't understand this principle yet, so we will force him to tell him. It will only cause his disgust."

"Don't expect too high. You just have too high expectations! As long as he is in China, it's the best result!"

Director Zhou sighed. It was not that he had high expectations, but that he was anxious! He hated this kid and didn't understand the overall situation at all. He would only make a fool of himself based on his feelings! Let him make a mistake. If he fails, the opportunity that China finally seized will turn into flowing water again!

After the car was at the gate of Huanyu Company, after showing its identity to the security team members at the entrance, the other party quickly reported it upwards and released it after receiving the permission.

He did not take the elevator to the top floor and go to Xiao Qiang's office as before. Instead, he followed the rules and stayed in the first-floor lobby and asked the reception desk to arrange for him to wait in the reception room.

Xiao Qiang and Austin hurried down from the top floor. They entered the reception room uneasy and saw Director Zhou sitting on the sofa with a gentle look on his face. He was slowly drinking tea without any anger.

He was a little surprised and didn't understand why this happened.

By convention, whenever such a situation occurs, Director Zhou will curse him, or he is just being very thoughtful. But this is the first time he has seen the expression of being polite and out of the matter.

Xiao Qiang came to Director Zhou with a slight move. With his usual attitude of admitting his mistakes, he whispered: "Director Zhou..."

Director Zhou looked up and saw him. He immediately stood up and shook hands with him, saying, "Mr. Xiao is here! I'm sorry to come here to disturb your work this time!"

Xiao Qiang was shocked by his attitude, thinking that the other party was extremely angry, so he came to mock him, and quickly lowered his eyebrows and said with a pleasing look: "Director Zhou. I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for you again!

"What's the trouble? Didn't the launch go smoothly? It's just a little delay! This is great. Let everyone at the base adapt and react in a crisis state, which is great!" Director Zhou smiled and pointed to the sofa next to him, "Sit. Let's sit and talk! General Manager Austin. Come on, everyone sit down and have a good talk."

Xiao Qiang was frightened by his attitude, and Austin even gave the suitcase in his hand to Director Zhou like a treasure: "Director Zhou, this is a high-tech chip that I secretly smuggled back from the United States. It is said that it is used on satellites. Maybe you can use it...ao!"

Austin's calf was kicked hard by Xiao Qiang, and he jumped up, hugging his legs and screaming pain.

These chips were originally intended to be given to the National Defense Science and Technology Commission.

The world's technical power cannot reach the level of researching high-end equipment such as satellites. Those specialized electronic components are not something they can manufacture now.

In the name of Austin smuggling places, it was handed over to the National Defense Science and Technology Commission. Can they say that this was dismantled from Asia One? With these advanced chips, the satellites they can use should be much more advanced! It is more certain to occupy the Middle East network!

It's also for my own plans!

But if you hand it over at this time, isn’t it just a thief who shouts to catch it?

Xiao Qiang was embarrassed and wanted to get the suitcase back. Director Zhou had already reached out and pressed it on it: "Since it was sincerely sold to us, I would be disrespectful! By the way, last time, Mr. Xiao asked the customs to hand over all the civil equipment to various factories and mines for installation. But we are a little tight now. If we pay in one go, it will be more difficult. Let's discuss with Mr. Xiao, we will sign a loan note and how about the installment payment?"

Xiao Qiang looked at his puppet-like facial expression and was really scared!

He knew that this time he had caused a great disaster and all the troubles caused the Americans. If he was not careful, he would cause a disaster! But he always bet on his own, so he did this regardless of everything!

Now, Director Zhou is very angry and the consequences are very serious.

Even Austin felt that things were not good, so he hugged his legs and did not dare to scream.

Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "Director Zhou, I am wrong this time! I am unorganized and undisciplined..."

"No, no, no! It's me that's not good!" Director Zhou shook his hand repeatedly, "It's me that was wrong! I have always regarded you as my subordinate. Like my son and nephew, I will scold you if you want to criticize you if you want to criticize you. This is very bad! I am the land director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission. You are the boss of a foreign-funded enterprise. None of us can control each other, at least, we are also an equal position. So, I want to apologize to you for the offenses before!"

Xiao Qiang looked at him in surprise, judging from Director Zhou's expression, he was calm and sincere! Could it be that he really came to apologize to me? But I was not in the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, but he said it was my superior. He was not wrong...

He looked at Austin, and the other party was also looking at him. Both of them were confused.

He calmed down and tentatively said: "Director Zhou, I think you promise. Such things will never happen again..."

Before Xiao Qiang finished speaking, Director Zhou laughed: "Mr. Xiao! You misunderstood. I don't mean to blame you at all. This time I really want to tell you clearly. Enterprises are enterprises, governments are governments. Everyone should separate this responsibility. As long as you operate in accordance with the law, we will of course not interfere, let alone you assure me!"

Xiao Qiang understands this!

Director Zhou is here to clear his responsibilities from him!

You Xiao Qiang. What you want to do in the future, as long as you don’t break the law and don’t get caught by us, we won’t care! However, if you do something wrong and cause bad effects, then I’m sorry. How to deal with it, I will never tolerate it!

So, I am no longer my own?

From now on, is it just a legal merchant who provides goods and pays profits and taxes? What's the end of the previous relationship?

Xiao Qiang suddenly felt an inexplicable relaxation!

He has always been confused about his identity. Sometimes, he is like a businessman, searching for profits by any means: sometimes, he is like a scientist, leading his fellow researchers to develop science and technology: sometimes, he is like a government worker, and he is exhausted in order to improve the country's scientific and technological level.

How can a country's technological improvement be able to be supported by him alone?

Such heavy pressure made him at a loss, and he lost himself among his identities and didn't know which one was his real self!

Now, others have helped you point out your true self, and all irrelevant identities have been stripped away: you are a businessman, you are just a businessman, a businessman engaged in high-tech industries, don’t regard yourself as the omnipotent God!

In the future, please do not enter a field that does not belong to you!

What are military bases, national scientific research institutions, and these places, please don’t go to them again. Government departments. If you don’t do serious business, please don’t visit them for no reason. Everyone has work to be busy and has no time to chat with you!

Your responsibility is to do business well, make money hard, and pay taxes by law!

This is a good thing!

Xiao Qiang suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders had been removed, and his chest felt relaxed.

From then on, as long as you focus on managing the company, worry about the money and pay more profits and taxes to the country, isn’t it also a contribution to the country?

Manufacturing more high-precision instruments and studying some advanced technology. The normal transaction between the two parties is enough as long as they can break the Western technology blockade. This is enough!

History has its necessity. It will follow its own trajectory and move forward!

As long as you do what you should do, that prosperous and powerful China will naturally appear in your memory in your previous life!

Then, please do your best to do your best in the company’s affairs!

As long as the company continues to make breakthroughs in the field of high-tech, it will be able to help the country the greatest help, right?

His mentality was completely calmed down, and he no longer looked timid, and said seriously: "Director Zhou wants to have some advice. Can you remind us?"

Director Zhou saw that he had returned to normal with appreciation and said in a serious tone: "Abide by law. This is my only advice! By the way, I believe that Mr. Xiao will invent more and better products and develop more advanced technologies in the future. As long as you reach that time, don't forget us, just!"

Xiao Qiang remembered something, took out a document from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Director Zhou.

This is his certificate from the General Office of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission!

From then on, he was an ordinary businessman, so naturally he could not be separated from the military and civilians. After the rank of this lieutenant colonel was pushed out, everyone would clear the matter!

Director Zhou glanced at it, took back the document, and stood up with a smile: "Okay, my business ends here! We promised Mr. Xiao's satellite that with your help, it will be completed faster! In addition, I have something else I want to ask Mr. Xiao for help."

"Director Zhou is polite! We are all friends. We can help. I have no choice but to define it!" Xiao Qiang's burden was swept away, and he quickly restored his true nature and talked and laughed calmly.

"Okay! It's enough to have you!" Director Zhou laughed and patted the suitcase with chips. "We two companies, I think there will be a lot of deals in the future. There will definitely be no shortage of formal contracts and other things! Just like this time, there are civil equipment, this contract still needs to be signed. But we have not been open for a long time, and we are not very familiar with international commercial contracts. This time, you invited Lawyer Yu, who helped us fill out the bid, is the legal counsel of your company. So, we want to ask you and help us find an expert in international commercial legal affairs.

Xiao Qiang agreed with a sigh: "No problem! I will deal with this matter immediately. I will help you find a legal expert who is in Hong Kong who is still in Mandarin. Don't be like Lawyer Yu, with your tongue wide open and always make jokes!"

Huan Fang burst into laughter.

After seeing off Director Zhou, Xiao Qiang asked Austin: "Do you think he is so sincere?"

"It seems very sincere..." Austin thought and smiled bitterly, "But I can't tell if there are any specific points! I think we should have our own plans. Don't pin our hopes on others!"

"That's right! Let the agent you are looking for, open a labor service company in Hong Kong, and come to recruit people in China! This time, the construction of the Middle East network requires a lot of people, and we also need to play some self-protection power. After all, it's too messy, and it will be even more messy..."

Xiao Qiang broke up with Austin at the office door.

Pushing open the office, he smiled and nodded to Lin Yi, who was processing the documents, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the sky outside.

From now on, the sky is high and the birds are flying!
Chapter completed!
