Chapter 69 Acquisition of 35% of Tianlong Aerospace

The strength of Tianlong Aerospace is indeed very good.

At present, the company has three mature rocket engines, two types of launch vehicles, and a medium-sized rocket under development.

"Mr. Li, our Skyfire-11, Skyfire-21, and Skyfire-31 rocket engines, with a thrust ranging from 15 tons, 85 tons to 120 tons, all use kerosene as fuel, and the cost is relatively low. The engines are all produced by 3D printing technology. The number of parts is only one-fifth of that of traditional rocket engines, and they are highly reliable and can be reused more than 50 times. If the launch demand is large, we can reduce the launch cost to To an extreme degree."

"In terms of launch vehicles, the Tianlong-1 rocket has a length of 35 meters, a diameter of 3.35 meters, a weight of 150 tons, and a total thrust of 200 tons for takeoff. With a carrying capacity of 2 tons, it can carry various small and medium-sized satellites, or launch multiple micro-satellites at the same time to meet the needs of different carrying solutions.”

"The Tianlong-2 rocket has a length of 51 meters, a diameter of 3.5 meters, and a weight of 360 tons. The first stage is equipped with four Tianhuo-31 engines, with a maximum take-off thrust of 480 tons. The carrying capacity of the sun-synchronous orbit is 4.2 tons. The maximum carrying capacity is 6 tons, which can carry various large and medium-sized loads, or carry dozens of micro-satellites at the same time, which can more flexibly meet the needs of users."

"There is also the Tianlong-3 carrier rocket that we are fully developing. Its length is 68-75 meters, the rocket diameter is 4 meters, the weight is 560-650 tons, the total take-off thrust is 770 tons, and the launch capacity of the sun-synchronous orbit is 10-14 tons. The low-earth orbit launch capacity is 15-18 tons, and for the first time, it will have the recovery capability of the rocket core level. Although the carrying capacity will be reduced, after the core level is recycled, the launch cost can be reduced by 40% to 50%. It greatly improves the cost performance of this rocket, which is completely comparable to Space-X’s Falcon 9 rocket, and even our various parameters are better, the reliability is higher, and the cost is lower.”

However, due to insufficient funds, Tianlong-3 is still in the tense development stage. The first launch mission has been delayed again and again. Of course, there are also concerns about the failure of the launch, which will seriously dampen the confidence of investors and lead to divestment. Therefore, it needs to be carefully polished. Enough confidence, and then use a successful launch to attract more investors to invest. If the launch fails, it may be the last grass that kills the camel.

After listening to these introductions.

I saw engine products one after another, and actual rockets one after another.

Especially in front of an industrial-grade 3D printer, Li Xingyang stopped for a long time and asked many questions before he realized that this printer is the most advanced 3D printer with large-scale additive manufacturing capabilities in China, and has fast printing efficiency and high precision , High product strength, can be called ace-class industrial processing equipment.

"Mr. Li, this 3D printer cost us more than 100 million. It was purchased from a machine tool company affiliated to the military industry, and it was included in the export control catalog. Such advanced printers cannot be bought abroad, and relevant domestic ones must be purchased. Only qualified companies can buy it, otherwise you won’t be able to enjoy the advantages and convenience brought by this printer.”

Fang Yujun said on the sidelines, revealing a lot of information in his words, showing that his Tianlong Aerospace has special relationships and contacts, has corresponding qualifications, and is completely trustworthy. People have said that the effect is very good, but if the investor hears it for the second time, there is a high probability that he will yell at him, saying that he is a liar, a bastard who deceives people, and ask him to pay back the money quickly.

"Good, very good."

Li Xingyang nodded again and again, as if he was getting hooked faster than any investor, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Fang, I'm going to say it directly. I came to visit your company not to be bored to see something strange, but to investigate your company. Strength, to see if there is any possibility of cooperation, your technical strength is not bad, but the factory is small in scale, with only two to three hundred employees, and you can't make a few rockets a year. I don't know if you can quickly increase production capacity and have a The ability to produce dozens or hundreds of rockets a year?"

"Mr. Li, our rockets are all standardized and modularly assembled. They are not small manual workshops. If we really need to increase production capacity, we are fully capable of producing dozens or hundreds of rockets a year. Quality assurance, timely delivery and launch, will never delay... But, Mr. Li, do you have such a big launch demand? The minimum cost of a rocket is hundreds of millions. We are not afraid of order explosion, but the customer is not so big need."

Fang Yujun said in a skeptical tone, dozens of hundreds of rocket launch missions every year, these are not ordinary customers, but super big customers, ancestors who must be paid for! As long as such customers appear, all domestic private aerospace companies will go crazy, and then desperately roll up, even if they launch at a loss, they will grab these orders, and the price will be so high that their eyes will be red.

"Hehe~"

Li Xingyang smiled slightly: "I have a large-scale aerospace project, and there will be a large demand for launch capacity. You don't have to wonder how many rockets I need, but how many rockets your company can produce in the next two years or so, I will decide." As far as purchasing these rocket delivery services, how many orders you can get depends on your company's production capacity and price, so you won't lose money, at least you can maintain a positive business cycle."

"Buy as many rockets as you produce?"

Fang Yujun's eyes widened, and there was a huge turmoil in his heart. This was more shocking news than investors investing in him, because it was called teaching him to fish, and it gave Tianlong Aerospace a way to survive. It was more important than direct investment. .

"Of course, not all rockets are required. Only medium-sized rockets with a carrying capacity of more than 3 tons in sun-synchronous orbit. I only want as many as you produce. If the carrying capacity is insufficient, forget it. After all, I am not sending potatoes into space."

Li Xingyang said.

"Mr. Li, with a load of more than 3 tons, our Tianlong-2 and Tianlong-3 can meet the needs, but our company is a bit short of funds. Can Mr. Li pay an advance payment of 3.5 billion yuan, otherwise it will be difficult for us to arrange production. "

Fang Yujun said in embarrassment, exposing his company's financial details.

"Three to five billion is not enough, Mr. Fang, your factory has too many problems, the area is not enough, the manpower is not enough, the machinery and equipment are not enough, you have to expand it with all your strength, you have no money, I will invest, based on the estimate of 10 billion by Tianlong Aerospace Well, I injected 3.5 billion to buy 35% of the shares of Tianlong Aerospace. After the money arrives, it must be used to increase the production capacity of the rocket according to my requirements. The follow-up development plan is also led by my Xingyuan Group , Mr. Fang, you are responsible for the implementation, and if you don’t know these conditions, can you accept it?”

3.5 billion capital injection.

Acquired 35% of the shares.

In the future, the development plan of Tianlong Aerospace will be led by Xingyuan Group.

Fang Yujun, the founder, is only responsible for execution, which is equivalent to giving up the control of the company. How to develop in the future, he, the founder, has no say. After all, the shares he holds will be diluted to 15% after receiving the capital injection. %, is no longer the largest shareholder.

So... Do you want to accept these conditions?

After hesitating for about five seconds, Fang Yujun nodded: "No problem, Mr. Li. As long as Tianlong Aerospace can get out of the predicament, I will agree to all these conditions and persuade other shareholders to agree."

Why!

If it were changed to a few years ago when he just founded Tianlong Aerospace, when he was in high spirits, he would not want to share too much, not to mention the control of the company, even the shares. He was very cold and harsh on investors' investment intentions, but Now, he thinks what his wife said is right, don’t dream of stars and seas anymore, and just be a laborer honestly, the control of the company is not as important as the launch order, the survival of the company is not as important, and there are no employees They and his job are important, as long as he can survive, he is willing to pay the price of losing control.

"Okay, Mr. Fang is straightforward. I'm more straightforward than you. If you don't sign the contract now, I'll have someone transfer the funds to you right away, and I'll send a finance manager to oversee it. I also hope that you will act as soon as possible to expand production capacity and output!"

"Sign! Sign now, I'm not a person who likes ink!"

Fang Yujun nodded excitedly.

soon.

The two parties quickly reached an agreement on share acquisition and business cooperation.

Then I learned that Tianlong Aerospace has run out of ammunition and food, the cash on the book is less than 50,000, and the next month's salary cannot be paid. Looking at Fang Yujun who is smiling and apologetic, Li Xingyang shook his head speechlessly, and called the accountant. First transfer 300 million over to ease the current predicament.

"Thank you Mr. Li, thank you Mr. Li."

Fang Yujun bowed and thanked again and again.

...

Six thirty in the evening.

The suburbs of Zhangquan City are relatively dilapidated, and there are no real estate in the community.

Fang Yujun deliberately got off work early today, went to the vegetable market, bought two braised pork feet, bought a whole roast duck and half a catty of his wife’s favorite boneless chicken feet, and spent a total of 120 yuan, which is a rare high consumption Once.

With a smile on his face, Fang Yujun, who walks with a high-spirited image, returns to the rented house, opens the door, and sees his daughter Fang Jiani and son Fang Yuanhang in the small rented house with an inner area of ​​only 60 square meters, both at the dining table in the living room While I was doing my homework, there was a tinkling and busy sound coming from the kitchen. It was my wife Wu Jingyi who was cooking.

"Honey, don't order anything today, just fry two vegetarian ones. I bought pig's trotters, roast duck and boneless chicken feet back."

Fang Yujun lifted the things in his hand, and said in a showy tone.

"Dad, I haven't eaten pig's trotters for a long time, did you buy them for me?"

"What day is it today, Dad, whose birthday is it? Why did you buy so many delicious things?"

Smelling the scent, the daughter and son immediately put down their homework, leaned over, and sucked their noses hard, drooling out of their mouths.

"Fang Yujun, don't you have a hard time these days? After several days of food expenses, our family will eat soil from tomorrow, right?" With a shovel in his hand and an apron around his waist, his complexion was sallow, Wu Jingyi, who had heavy crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, walked over, and when she saw the things in his hand, she immediately became furious.

"That's right, starting from today, we won't have to live through this hard life!"

Fang Yujun puffed up his chest and said, "Today the company reached a strategic cooperation and received a capital injection of 3.5 billion! There is also an unlimited rocket launch contract for two years, and Mr. Li even asked someone to pay 300 million on the spot... ... Wife, the hardest days are over, starting tomorrow, our food standard will be increased to 100 yuan a day, no, 150 yuan, we must eat well every day, and treat ourselves well."

"Three and a half billion?"

Wu Jingyi's eyes lit up: "Then quickly move these funds, pay off our 500 million debts, sell the company, then buy back the villas and cars, and change the children to a good school!"

"No, the money is used for factory expansion and rocket production. It is earmarked for special use and cannot be misappropriated casually. However, I am confident that the company will be on the right track and make a profit. Then I will pay off the debts and buy back the house and the car. You and your kids are living the best days."

Fang Yujun said with moist eyes, feeling very guilty.

"Get out, I don't want to listen to your pictures, wait until you do it!"

However, his wife Wu Jingyi didn't buy it, she still had an irritable and impatient attitude, but Fang Yujun could feel that his wife was also relieved, at least when eating, the atmosphere was not as depressing as usual, and it was rare to squeeze out With a slight smile, it can be seen that after seeing hope, she is indeed in a better mood.
