Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 445 Satellite Demands from Large Customers in the Middle East

"Ah? Aerospace? That's really high-end."

Linmara found it very new. For the Tyrande people, aerospace was a very distant industry.

The Chinese in Southeast Asia are already very motivated and almost control the economic lifeline of Southeast Asia, but they are still quite unfamiliar with cutting-edge technology fields such as aerospace. After all, private enterprises cannot engage in industries with too high a threshold.

Hu Jiangshan naturally heard it as well and looked at the two Middle Eastern bosses.

Most people think that the people in that place only know how to sell oil and make money without doing anything, but that is actually a prejudice.

Although the scientific research capabilities of the people there are average, they are quite smart, especially their business acumen, which is top-notch.

If you can't make something yourself, buy it.

The big guys in the Middle East also have principles and bottom lines when buying things. They are not suckers. They will compare prices globally and what they value most is the price-performance ratio.

Therefore, it can be said that the most powerful information consulting company in the world has the largest number of clients from the Middle East.

Speaking of which, Hu Jiangshan had dealt with these Middle Eastern bigwigs a lot in his previous life.

The largest number of them are found in the Shah Empire and the UAE.

Although the UAE is a small country, it has great ambitions, especially in aerospace. It has always wanted to catch up with the highest level in the entire blue planet and has developed many satellites and probes.

Of course, most people are doing research and development in collaboration with advanced countries.

To launch these satellites and probes into space, we naturally need help from other countries. No matter how rich the Middle Eastern countries are, it is still difficult for them to build space launch sites and launch rockets and spacecraft into space on their own. This is not something they are good at.

What are these Middle Eastern bigwigs coming here to consult about now?

Since it is related to aerospace, could it be satellite launch?

Hu Jiangshan suddenly reacted. He was the boss of the space launch site, so this was a perfect match for his business.

At this time, Linmara asked: "Then what are you doing here? Do they also want to visit the Grand Palace?"

Ella nodded: "They have never been to Tyrande before. I brought them here to have a look. By the way, what are you doing..."

Lin Mara quickly introduced Hu Jiangshan to Ella, saying that he was a friend from Hong Kong Island, China.

Ella had noticed Hu Jiangshan a long time ago. After all, his looks, figure and temperament could transcend race and were very much in line with Ella's aesthetic.

At this time, Lin Mara introduced Wang Mengna. When Ella heard that Wang Mengna was a tour guide, her eyes lit up.

"I'm looking for a tour guide. How about asking Ms. Wang to take us around? Oh, and I can be the translator."

Wang Mengna smiled: "I can also explain it in British English. Can they understand it?"

Ella nodded: "Yes, I can understand. Their British language is very good."

"By the way, Mr. Hu..."

As she spoke, Wang Mengna glanced at Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan immediately responded: "It doesn't matter, I can understand British. Director Wang can explain in British."

Wang Mengna responded and looked at Lin Mara.

To be honest, Lin Mara was not very confident in Hu Jiangshan's English level. Fortunately, he had already walked most of the way and had heard most of it, so Hu Jiangshan was not confused.

Ella said, "I'll pay for it."

Wang Mengna waved her hand: "No need, I'm not working today, I'm just here to accompany my friends, explaining to you is just a side job."

Ella was very happy and said, "Then I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

After everyone discussed it, Ella went to communicate with the two Middle Eastern bosses.

Lin Mara said to Hu Jiangshan, "Mr. Hu, do you mind?"

Hu Jiangshan shook his head: "I don't mind. Maybe I can even discuss some business with those two big customers."

"Ah? Business? What business?"

Hu Jiangshan said: "I happen to be in the aerospace industry."

Lin Mara opened her eyes wide, with a look of disbelief and disbelief on her face.

Lin Wanna's eyes lit up: "Are you in the aerospace industry?"

Just as Hu Jiangshan was about to speak, Ella came over with the two UAE nationals.

At first glance, it's obvious that these two Middle Eastern tycoons are the type who have a lot of money but don't know where to spend it. Not to mention the gold watches on their hands, the rings they wear are made of pure gold and inlaid with large gemstones.

If an ordinary person wears this thing, people will think it is fake, but when worn on the hands of a wealthy person in the Middle East, it feels perfectly natural and it really couldn't be more real.

Ella had just asked these two wealthy Middle Eastern people if they minded touring the Grand Palace with these people, and they said they didn't mind, it would be more lively with more people, so she brought them over.

One of these two men is called Yalem and the other is called Ahmed, both of which are very common names in the Middle East.

Of course, Ella would not introduce the identities of these two people, as that was the client's privacy. But Hu Jiangshan could tell from their expressions and behavior that they were from the official space agency of the UAE. Even if it was not the National Space Administration, it would be a subordinate agency.

The two men just nodded to Hu Jiangshan and others as a greeting.

Wang Mengna was already very familiar with leading the tour. Now that new members had joined, she decided to walk through the Grand Palace from beginning to end again. This time, she would give a commentary in British, which was obviously more lengthy than what she had said just now. After all, the expressive power of the British language was really limited.

It is almost noon now. The sun has become bigger and brighter. Everyone's face is sweating to some extent. The two wealthy Middle Eastern people don't care because their attire is very suitable for such an environment. After all, they are a desert people.

After walking around, I happened to pass by a cold drink shop.

Wang Mengna is experienced and quick-witted. She occupied a large table and asked everyone to sit down.

This cold drink shop is nice, it is semi-open, and although there is no air conditioning, it has a roof to block the sunlight.

Wang Mengna quickly ordered iced juice, iced coffee and other drinks for everyone.

Drinking and chatting together can relieve the discomfort caused by the heat.

Ahmed and Yalem, two Middle Eastern bigwigs, seemed very low-key, sitting aside and chatting in low voices.

They spoke in Middle Eastern dialect, in strings, without deliberately lowering their voices because they were sure that others could not understand them.

In fact, people from the Middle East rarely come to Southeast Asia. Those who can afford to go abroad for vacation prefer to go to Europe and North America. After all, they have money and like to go to those high-end places.

At this moment, the two of them talked about something, their emotions were a little excited, and they seemed to have argued for a few sentences.

Ella sighed.

Linmara asked curiously, "What happened? Are they in trouble? What are they arguing about?"

Ella whispered, "There are some minor problems with their satellite, and they need a professional team to solve it."

Lin Mara was stunned: "They are so rich, can't they find it?"

Ella hesitated for a moment. "Their technical requirements are too high. Few private technical teams can meet their requirements. They want to contact SpaceX, but the other party has too many requirements. The customer can't accept them. Negotiations are in progress."

SpaceX does have a lot of cooperation requirements, but Ella certainly won't tell you what the specific requirements are. They are an information consulting company, and it is their obligation and responsibility to keep confidentiality for their clients.

Hu Jiangshan had already understood the general situation when he heard this. The satellite developed by the company of the Middle Eastern giant had encountered technical defects or the parameters did not meet the requirements, and for some reason, another technical team was needed to solve the problem.

This is a very difficult task. There are very few private teams with this kind of technology. If you want to find someone with a national background, the possibility is even lower unless you use diplomatic channels.

It was normal for them to contact SpaceX. After all, this company was the ceiling of Blue Star's private aerospace industry, with a great reputation and strong technology. However, dealing with them was not so easy.

Hu Jiangshan knew SpaceX and had no problem paying them to do the work, but the price was absolutely top-notch, enough to make these wealthy Middle Eastern clients feel the pinch. Moreover, the clients’ technical staff would never be present when the work was being done, in order to ensure strict precautions.

To be honest, although the big players in the Middle East are rich, they are also very sensitive about this issue.

If there was no such request, they might not send technical personnel in to observe and participate. If such a request was made, they would feel uncomfortable, as they felt disrespected and insulted.

The two UAE nationals just had a brief argument because they had a slight difference in opinion.

Yalem felt that Space X's opinion could be considered, but Ahmed felt that the Lighthouse people should not be allowed to manipulate them in this way and that such discriminatory terms could not be accepted.

At this time, Lin Wanna said to Hu Jiangshan: "By the way, what should I call you? Brother Hu?"

Hu Jiangshan was speechless for a moment. Some people did call him "Brother Hu", but he was still not used to it. He always felt it was weird and too incongruous.

"You should just call me Brother Jiangshan."

Lin Wanna said happily: "Brother Jiangshan, are you really in the aerospace industry?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they really caught Ella's attention.

Although Ella is a foreigner, she understands some Chinese. She cannot read or write, but she has no problem listening and speaking.

Ella couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you in the aerospace industry?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Yes."

"So which company do you work for? Is it a private aerospace company or one owned by the state?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "This is a private company."

"Ah? A private aerospace company? That's great. Could you please tell me the name of the company?"

Ella is obviously very professional and has already started to inquire about Hu Jiangshan's company.

You have to know that Ella's company is engaged in information consulting, so they must always collect industry information that is useful to them.

If Hu Jiangshan worked for a large private aerospace company, it would certainly be very valuable.

Hu Jiangshan replied: "It's a startup company called Jiangshan."

"……country?"

Ella looked confused; of course she had never heard of this company.

"Then could you please reveal the scope of your business?"

"Right now our main business is rocket launches. Of course, if you have other related needs, we can discuss them. Our technical team is still very strong."

"Rocket launch?"

Ella was surprised. This kind of business is not something that just any company can do.

Especially for private companies, it is impossible to do it without a professional aerospace technology team.

More importantly, if we want to launch a rocket, don’t we need a launch site? Can Hu Jiangshan’s company also do that?
Of course, other people also heard the conversation between Hu Jiangshan and Ella.

Lin Mara and Wang Mengna looked at each other, obviously confused. Hu Jiangshan was actually involved in a space launch. This just sounded outrageous.

When Lin Mara met Hu Jiangshan last year, he was just a rich second-generation who spent his days in debauchery, and was even quite bad.

After not seeing him for a year, how come Hu Jiangshan suddenly became an elite in the aerospace industry?
At this time, Ahmed and Yalem also noticed the situation here.

Of course, as Middle Easterners, they couldn’t understand Chinese and didn’t know what they were talking about, but they were quite surprised to see Ella, Lin Mara and the others.

Ahmed asked Ella in a low voice what they were talking about, in British English.

Ella hesitated for a moment and whispered a few brief explanations to the two Middle Eastern bosses.

The two Middle Eastern bosses were very surprised and looked at Hu Jiangshan with wide eyes.

Hu Jiangshan greeted the two people with a smile and gave a brief self-introduction, also in British.

Hu Jiangshan speaks clear and fluent pronunciation. If it weren't for his slight accent, his speaking level would be almost that of a native speaker.

Lin Mara and Wang Mengna were surprised by Hu Jiangshan's language level. They really underestimated him before.

Lin Mara thought that Hu Jiangshan was only good at math, but now he is so proficient in Brilliant, he must be a real academic master.

I just don't know whether Hu Jiangshan's claim that he works in the aerospace industry is true or not.

After listening to Hu Jiangshan's introduction, Ahmed and Yalem looked at each other.

Ahmed said, "Mr. Hu, does your company have the ability to modify the satellite system?"

Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment and replied, "Dear guests, we have a professional technical team and are very familiar with satellites, but I need more information to answer this question."

"This one……"

Ahmed looked at Yalem and whispered something in Middle Eastern, apparently asking for Yalem's opinion.

Yarum hesitated, then nodded.

Ahmed said, "Mr. Hu, I have a simple demand document here. Can you take a look at it now if it's convenient for you?"

"no problem."

Ahmed talked to Ella for a while, and Ella took out a tablet from her bag, operated it for a while, opened a document, and handed it to Hu Jiangshan.

This document is quite long. If you don't know much about it, you will definitely be dazzled and unable to understand it. But Hu Jiangshan is a top scientist with a lot of thinking. He often dealt with such requirement documents in his previous life and he knows the order of reviewing and reading very well.

Although the document is long, there is not much key content. You only need to read a small part.

Of course, for an expert, it would take at least 20 to 30 minutes to finish watching it.

Hu Jiangshan watched and drank iced coffee, and no one disturbed him.

Lin Mara and Wang Mengna chatted in low voices.

Wang Mengna said: "He is in the aerospace industry? Is that true?"

Lin Mara gave a bitter smile: "I don't know more than you, and I'm not familiar with him."

Wang Mengna looked at Hu Jiangshan again and said, "But he really seems to understand. Is he pretending to understand?"

"…I hope not."

As he spoke, Hu Jiangshan seemed to have finished reading.
