Take Off My Aviation Era

It is not only Zhuang Jianye who wants to stand to make money, but why not Merlinz?

For an international professional high-end dealer, the more cost-effective high-end aerospace materials and parts, the greater the price difference and the higher the profit for his middleman.

Because of this, Merlinz was anxious to have a long-term and stable supply relationship with Zhuang Jianye.

After all, in addition to Lockheed Space Equipment's Iridium program, Merlinz still has several potential customers. For example, New Delhi's ambitious aerospace program requires a lot of sophisticated aerospace parts and high-end aerospace materials.

However, the aerospace products of the United States and Europe are dyingly expensive, and because of the disintegration of the social turmoil in Russia, the quality is not reliable, so that New Delhi always slogans loudly and numbers are screaming, but there is no real hair.

So much so that Merlinz would spit out frantically every time, and wanted to point to the noses of the bureaucrats in New Delhi and curse: Don’t brag if you don’t have that ability.

However, if a long-term supply relationship is established with Ascendas Group, Merlinz can dump high-end aerospace components to New Delhi at a price that is one to two percent lower than the international market price, thereby grabbing excess profits.

There are also Iran and North Korea’s long-range missile projects, which also require high-precision aerospace components as support. Not only that, these two countries also have clear development goals. Therefore, in addition to a single component, it is also important for the aerospace professional The equipment is in droves.

The above are all high-end customers of Merlinz's wealth, and Ascendas Group is like a variety of beauties who can be both salty and sweet, and can be both **** and innocent. Taste, easy to do one-stop service.

Aware of this, Merlinz immediately made major adjustments to the tone of the Ascendas Group’s trip. From the original 10% of the Iridium Plan’s supporting parts and accessories share, Merlinz made a major adjustment. Stable journey of cooperation.

Because of this, Merlinz was kind and friendly to Zhuang Jianye. With that fat figure, he looked like a simple-minded iron man. It was Zhuang Jianye who said everything, as if Zhuang Jianye was his backbone.

In fact, it is just a means by Merlinz. Anyway, the profit from changing hands is not bad. Why bother to provoke Zhuang Jianye, a cooperative supplier that is currently vital to him, for a little bit of face?

This is the case with Merlinz. Zhuang Jianye is also not bad. He doesn't have a small amount of money and money. There is no need to be flattered by foreigners. The way to get along is to communicate with courtesy and business.

The two people who talked about the attitude are yearning for cooperation, and coupled with the so-called "unswerving friendship" that the business blows out of each other, the progress of the two sides is very fast.

The contact began in late July. In mid-August, the satellite parts produced by the Ascendas Group, which Merlinz sent to the United States, passed the joint quality inspection of the Lockheed Space Equipment Company and the Motorola Iridium Project team.

During this period, Merlinz established two leather bag companies, CP and VP, as a docking with the leather bag company established by Ascendas Group, used to operate spacecraft parts, high-end aerospace materials, and professional aerospace processing equipment produced by Ascendas Group.

After receiving the notice that Ascendas Group's products passed the inspections of domestic agencies in the United States, Merlinz immediately purchased space-specific products worth 1.268 billion US dollars from Space Origin through CP and VP.

Among them, 560 million U.S. dollars are satellite components of the Iridium Program, including 300 million U.S. dollars of non-core satellite components such as titanium alloy truss beams, aluminum-magnesium alloy antenna brackets, and magnesium alloy solar cell folding supports.

260 million US dollars of loop heat pipe cooling system, a total of 300 sets.

Originally, the heat dissipation system was done by an American company, using traditional energy distribution technology, but the problem is that the total mass of Motorola’s Iridium satellite program communication satellite does not exceed 800 kilograms and cannot carry high-energy nuclear batteries. The existing battery energy density cannot meet the requirements of multiple systems working simultaneously.

At a time of headache, Merlinz, like a savior from the sky, took out a set of 1.58 million US dollars of loop heat pipe cooling system, which is 2.5 million US dollars compared with similar products produced by Laura Space Systems, which was acquired by a European company. For the above high prices, Merlinz's loop heat pipe cooling system is not only affordable, but its performance is not worse than that of Laura Space Systems.

In this case, of course, the big order is directly thrown over.

As for increasing the costly loop heat pipe cooling system that may lead to cost overruns, Lockheed does not have much to worry about. The reason is simple. Without the power distribution of the cooling system, the energy reserved for other electronic systems is very sufficient. Use some "mature" technologies with high power but not bad performance.

In this way, through the magical "system integration" of the Locke System, the overall development and production cost of the Iridium Project has not been overrun, but it has saved 290,000 US dollars compared with the previous one.

It is a miracle in the field of space cost control in recent years.

However, in addition to Lockheed's cost control, the real miracle is the business of Merlinz's second trafficker. It is really a loud drum and firecrackers.

Because in addition to Lockheed's major customer, Merlinz also included 90% of the external procurement business in the New Delhi Space Program, and this list was the remaining US$708 million of the US$1.268 billion.

Including 28 sets of loop heat pipe cooling systems, 1000 kg of ordinary carbon fiber reinforced aluminum-based composite materials, 500 kg of ordinary carbon fiber reinforced titanium-based composite materials, 45 ordinary carbon fiber reinforced magnesium-based composite materials for satellite special antennas and four DL —The 666-type aerospace-specific control hole equipment using ultrasonic vibration processing technology ~www.ltnovel.com~ Compared with the deal with Lockheed, Merlinz has a lot of blackout to New Delhi, not only the product performance is different. Language, the price is like a high pitch, desperately going up.

Not to mention anything else, take the loop heat pipe cooling system as an example. The ex-factory price of Ascendas Group is 880,000 US dollars. Merlinz's offer to Lockheed is US$1.58 million. When transferred to New Delhi, it mentions US$2.35 million. .

There is also the DL-666 digital control hole device with the VP logo. The shipping price of Zhuang Jianye to Merlinz is 2 million US dollars. Merlinz dared to call 6 million US dollars when he turned his face to New Delhi.

And this is only one of Merlinz’s fat sheep list, followed by Iran, North Korea, Iraq, Egypt, South Africa, Brazil...

Therefore, after confirming the purchase contract of US$1.268 billion, Merlinz also initialed a contract of intent with Zhuang Jianye with a total amount of US$6.7 billion, and determined that within the next three years, the two parties will strive to increase the transaction volume to US$30. 100 million dollars or more.
