Zhuang Jianye was delayed before arriving, but when he arrived at the launch center, it was postponed indefinitely. You must know that postponement and indefinite postponement are two completely different concepts in the aerospace field where the concept of time is accurate to several decimal points after a second.
You must know that the Chang-4 rocket responsible for launching at this moment has been assembled and part of the fuel has been filled. It is okay to launch it. Once it stops, many parts inside the Chang-4 rocket will be damaged due to corrosion of the fuel. The parts will be replaced at that time. The cost and time will be a very tiring process.
So let alone postpone it indefinitely, Zhuang Jianye couldn't stand even a slight postponement for a few hours.
"Contact Motorola immediately and be sure to find out why." Zhuang Jianye immediately ordered his assistant boy to contact Motorola. At the same time, the commander of the launch center and others also came to inquire about the situation.
Before Zhuang Jianye could respond, a call from the head of the Beijing headquarters came over at this moment, and he said just one sentence: "What's going on? Why was the launch delayed?"
Zhuang Jianye was immediately at the top of the list. But at this time, the Chinese and foreign reporters outside the launch center building learned that Zhuang Jianye, the head of Ascendas Group responsible for the launch mission, had arrived, so they prepared to come in for interviews and interact with the launch center staff who blocked him. The pushing and shoving made the scene a mess.
As for the people in the distance, many people looked on with cold eyes, deliberately looking at Zhuang Jianye's troubled jokes, and soon they would gloat and say: "A man who is engaged in aviation still wants to be involved in aerospace, and he doesn't even look in the mirror, so~~~ It¡¯s too much fun, it caused a storm in the city even before it was launched, now it¡¯s better, let¡¯s see how it ends!¡±
It¡¯s no wonder that spectators satirized Zhuang Jianye so much. For this commercial launch, Zhuang Jianye spent a lot of money. He not only invited major media to report on it, but also persuaded a heavyweight media in Beijing to come and broadcast the launch event live. Not to mention, many mainstream overseas media were invited to report on it.
Zhuang Jianye¡¯s intention is obvious, he wants to use this successful commercial launch to create free global advertising.
The problem is that the launch must be successful to be effective. Once it fails, it will not only have no effect, but will suffer unpredictable backlash, and may even directly interrupt Ascendas Group's progress in entering the aerospace field.
Others can understand this, and Zhuang Jianye naturally understands it, so he ignored the Chinese and foreign reporters outside the door, let alone those envious and jealous little shrimps, and instead followed the commander of the launch center, Liang Xiaoping and others. An empty conference room.
After waiting for a while, the child didn't come back. Zhuang Jianye was a little anxious, so he took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed a number. When the call was connected, he asked directly without being polite: "Merlinz, why don't you talk to me?" Why did Motorola delay the launch?"
"Zhuang, I knew you would call me, but my friend, you can cause me hundreds of millions of dollars in losses this time"
"Speak directly if you have anything to say. If it's because of me, I will bear the responsibility." Before Merlinz could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhuang Jianye.
Merlinz on the other end of the phone smiled slightly: "I like how decisive you are, Zhuang. It's a pity that you are not in the United States, otherwise your achievements would be limitless. As a result, such a talented person was given up by China, which is generally technologically backward. Delayed Just like this time, there is no problem with your Chang-4 rocket, but the support capability of the launch site is open to question. We have just received a weather forecast from the U.S. Meteorological Administration about the weather around the West Field. In the next 50 days, the West There are charged cumulonimbus clouds over the field. As you know, launch vehicles are most afraid of this kind of weather, so these days are not suitable for launches. As for next year"
Merlinz paused for a moment, seemed to have drank something to moisten his throat, and then slowly said: "There was a lot of rainy weather in the West Field in the first half of the year, and the Earth's autobiographical angle also made it unsuitable for launch, so there is no way , we can only postpone it indefinitely!¡±
Merlinz said this like a joke, which made Zhuang Jianye's teeth itch, but he couldn't say a word to refute, so he could only hold back his breath and chat for a while before hanging up the phone, and then He immediately looked at Liang Xiaoping and the commander of the launch center with a stern face: "I asked just now. The Americans said that their weather agency predicted that there will be charged cumulonimbus clouds over our West Field in the next 50 days, and there will be no launch window period. I just thought Let me ask, is the American weather forecast more accurate or our own?"
¡¡
At the same time, in a high-end hotel in Shanghai, Merlinz put down the mobile phone in his hand. His smile was as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum. He picked up a glass of red wine on the table and took a slight sip, as if aftertaste, as if talking in sleep. He said: "My dear Zhuang, this is the first time in so many years that I have seen you so anxious. Well~~ Yes, it can be done appropriately."I want you to be more anxious~~~¡±
With that said, Merlinz picked up the phone next to him again and dialed a number skillfully. After he was connected, he said slowly: "I will only say it once, please remember it clearly"
¡¡
At the reception desk of the West Field Satellite Launch Center, Michael O'Train, a reporter from the Houston Space News in the United States, had just come out of the bathroom when he saw a large group of colleagues walking in dejectedly. He quickly went up to ask a reporter from the British Sky TV, Ai Linna: "Hey~~ What's wrong with you? Didn't you interview that village?"
"Good luck to you, Altrain. That Zhuang is very arrogant. He didn't even look at us and followed the staff of the launch center to the office building of the launch center. Really, this is the first time I've seen him. To someone so rude to the media.¡±
Elena didn¡¯t speak, but the photographer Quinn who was following her complained all at once.
Altrain couldn't help but frown: "He even rejected the heavyweight media in the country that broadcast him live?"
"Of course, but those people don't seem to care. After all, it's not a free media, so it doesn't matter!" Quinn curled his lips and said sarcastically. At the same time, he raised his chin towards the heavyweight media. Altrain followed the sound and saw several staff members doing debugging work before the live broadcast in front of the live broadcast truck marked with the words xxtv. Looking at their meticulous appearance, it seemed as if they could devote themselves to a great cause in the next moment. .
Altrain couldn't help but snorted contemptuously: "It's okay to work hard and hard, but the reality is that it is in vain. I don't know if those heavyweight media people will cry when they hear the truth."
It didn't matter to Quinn when he said this, but Elena, who had been silent for a long time, relied on her intuition as a media person for many years to keenly capture the implication of Altrain's words. She immediately stopped and turned her pretty face. Face asked: "Mr. Audrain, did you just say the 'truth'? Do you have any inside information?"
"Of course!" Altrain didn't hide anything, and smiled brightly at Elena: "This time Ascendas Group's space launch is destined to fail, and it will pay more than one billion US dollars in compensation!"
