Xing Baohua then said, "The satellite receiving equipment is very simple, just a LNB and a decoder. I can make the decoder for you. It's okay if you don't have the money, you can pay me back first. I'll get you 100,000 chips later, and you can build your own factory and assemble them yourself."
"Then you might as well make the whole thing for me, it'll save me trouble. We don't need to buy the Russian one, but you can keep an eye on that American satellite design company. Just because we don't have money now doesn't mean we won't have money in a few years! Wait a year or two, when Far East Trade is making money, then we can go for it."
Xing Baohua comforted him, and Lao Mou took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "Time is money. When an opportunity comes, we can't wait. Let's take advantage of this time to do more projects. As for funds, I can raise some more. It's just that I regret that we couldn't cooperate again."
"No regrets, we're not on the same wavelength after all. We'll wait for the right opportunity! I have a good project, I'll help you out."
After chatting with Lao Mou and seeing him to the door, Xing Baohua called Zhao Shanhai and asked him to keep an eye on what his older brother was up to. Had he already sold satellites? Should he get a few?
Then Xing Baohua called Gao Guang, a senior engineer at AVIC, and asked: "Do you know about the Horizon series?"
And you know what? AVIC knows a lot about Russian stuff. When we mentioned the Horizon series, the senior engineer said there are two types: one is a spy satellite, and the other is a communications satellite. The communications satellite has a high power output of 52 dBW. The Americans only have 36 dBW, and ours is only 28 dBW.
DBW is the EIRP (Electronic Intensity Reduction) value for satellite signal strength. A higher number indicates a stronger satellite transmission power. Of course, this power is also determined based on the frequency band.
Once the topic came up, Mr. Gao talked on and on for almost half an hour.
Xing Baohua had already understood that Horizon could not only broadcast satellite television, but also had communication system functions.
But that's just how Russian stuff is. They always maintain the tradition of "as long as it works, it's good enough." If it's a reconnaissance satellite, it can be recovered.
Aside from being inferior to Xing Baohua's civilian satellite in terms of electronic equipment, they still managed to make it function.
Just like cars, cars from the 1920s and 30s can be driven, and modern cars can also run. It's just a matter of performance and speed.
But Xing Baohua always felt that Lao Mou would be taken advantage of.
After hanging up the phone, everyone thought about whether Lao Mou had been scammed or not. Everyone knew that Lao Mou had created a gap in the Himalayas, but the other party did get the plane back and actually launched the satellite into space.
I couldn't remember many things, so I called the senior engineer again to ask about the conditions for launching satellites by private individuals or private enterprises.
"It requires review and approval."
After hearing the senior engineer's answer, Xing Baohua understood.
He was able to do it because he cooperated with AVIC (Aviation Industry Corporation of China). AVIC handled the approval process, which meant that AVIC supervised the research and development.
If it's a Russian satellite launched without oversight, or even something from the US, would AVIC allow them to operate it? They should first review the control platform and operating system, and examine its functions before making any decisions.
It's going to be difficult for Lao Mou to reach for the sky.
It's like buying a smuggled car; without proper paperwork, who's going to register it for you? In the past, you could just find someone to help you. Now, everything's recorded in a system, so it's difficult to do anything about it.
Putting aside Lao Mou's satellite project, he's too restless and has too many projects. If he doesn't manage his funds well, all his projects will probably fail once the cash flow is cut off.
I thought Lao Mou had returned to the capital, but who knew he would come to ambush Xing Baohua again the next day.
This plaster is practically suffocating him; he won't see it, but he keeps blocking it. So Xing Baohua invited him to her office again.
He asked impatiently, "Hurry up and tell me what it is? I have a meeting in a bit."
"I couldn't sleep all night at the hotel, remembering what you said: 'Dami will help me make satellite receiving equipment?'"
Xing Baohua nodded, admitting that he had said that, although he had agreed to make the decoding chip, he hadn't said he would cover everything.
So, to explain, Old Mou was just waiting for him to say that.
"I told you to manufacture all the finished products for me. At the time, I felt that I didn't need to worry about setting up a factory for production. You said that if I only produce chips, then I would have to produce the integrated circuit boards myself?"
Xing Baohua nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Will integrated circuits dominate the future?" Old Mou asked curiously.
"yes."
"Do you think it's too late for me to use circuit boards as a starting point to move towards integrated circuits?"
"No, if you want to do it now, you can definitely catch up. But the problem is, if you only make a satellite receiver, the market will be much narrower, and you might not be able to make money." Xing Baohua felt that Lao Mou was just making things up on a whim.
"No, you didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was to start with integrated circuits, and then gradually, like rice, enter the electronics industry, such as manufacturing chips."
Xing Baohua was shocked. This guy also wanted to manufacture chips?
Who would sell you equipment? Xing Baohua's six Philips machines were obtained through a combination of coaxing and deception. Now, the company has stated that it will resolutely refuse to sell them to any domestic company.
Then, seeing Lao Mou's expression, Xing Baohua was shocked again. Could this old guy be trying to get him to sell lithography machines?
Selling is fine. The Institute of Optoelectronics has older models of equipment; selling them will free up space.
"Old Mou! I'm a professional in electronics, but you're a complete novice in this project. You don't understand it, so you can only rely on others to help you. I do know a little bit! I can grasp the trends in electronics development."
What about you? You can only follow the trend. Chips aren't so easy to manufacture. I set up a wafer fab in Shanghai, a factory specifically for producing chips. Do you know how much the investment was? 12 billion US dollars.
Xing Baohua said these words hoping to intimidate Lao Mou and kill his "core".
