Saturday, September 26.

Qunxing Capital issued an announcement this morning, announcing the establishment of the first domestic private commercial aerospace company - Kyushu Blue Arrow.

The core business of Kyushu Blue Arrow is positioned as the R\u0026D and application of rocket recycling technology, as well as the R\u0026D and application of manned transport spacecraft.

According to the announcement, Qunxing Capital invested 2 billion yuan in the first phase of Kyushu Blue Arrow.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation in the investment and technology circles at the same time.

People in the investment circle complained that they couldn't understand Qunxing Capital's operation. Is there too much money and nowhere to spend it?

But then again, few people in the industry have been able to understand the layout of Qunxing Capital. They did not understand the behavior of "spreading coins" in the copyright of film and television networks. The most depressing thing is that Qunxing Capital is making money.

Not only the people in the investment circle couldn't understand it, but Hua Yu and the others inside Qunxing Capital also couldn't understand it. However, if they didn't understand the decision of the big boss, it didn't prevent him from implementing it properly.

The technology circle was shocked, especially practitioners in the aerospace field, who thought it was fake news at first.

For this reason, even the leaders of the space agency were alarmed.

After confirming that the news is true, I was also very surprised. Suddenly, private capital entered this field on a large scale. You must know that there is no precedent before this.

The key is that the intensity is huge, and 2 billion yuan will be used to suppress the shock.

It is still the scale of the first phase of investment, that is to say, there will be a second, third, and fourth phase later...

Subsequent investment is the key.

Relevant parties are also conducting research and discussions on this matter. After all, this involves cutting-edge industries, and the aerospace industry is often highly related to national defense. Rockets can deliver space and satellites, as well as bombs and even mushroom eggs.

In the current era, relatively speaking, military-civilian integration has not been vigorously promoted. There have never been private attempts to enter this field before, but there is no express prohibition on private participation in the aerospace industry.

So as soon as the Kyushu Blue Arrow came out, relevant parties began to discuss it.

Fans who pay attention to the aerospace field eat melons and netizens are very supportive, because domestic investment in the aerospace field is too little. In fact, mainstream voices basically support it as long as they invest in the field of scientific research.

...

"What do you all think about the Kyushu Blue Arrow?" The top leader presiding over the meeting opened up the conversation. Today is the weekend, and the leaders of the aerospace-related departments held a meeting to discuss the large-scale entry of private capital into the aerospace field.

At this time, the participating leaders sitting next to the leader said in an orderly manner: "On December 23 last year, an American aerospace company called SpaceX announced that it had won a US$1.6 billion contract for NASA's commercial supply service to protect the space shuttle. A resupply mission to the International Space Station after decommissioning next year. Some say it’s a sign of the age of private spaceflight.”

After a short pause, he continued: "The rise of American private rocket companies is because the United States was bullied by the high price monopoly of Lockheed Martin and Boeing's United Launch Alliance, and instead cultivated companies such as Blue Origin and SpaceX."

The leader at the meeting turned to look at other people present and said further: "I think that the emergence of rocket companies like SpaceX is accelerating the occupation of American satellites in low-altitude orbits. In the future, there will be hundreds or even thousands of satellites staring at you in the sky above our country. , Whether it is taking pictures, detecting, or monitoring. From the national level, space resources are first come, first served. At present, the pace is obviously not keeping up with the national team's aerospace science and technology, aviation technology and a few central enterprises. to the Americans."

At the end, the participating leader added in a summary: "The emergence of the commercial rocket industry and what lies behind it is, in the final analysis, a strategic contest between major powers."

Another leader who participated in the meeting agreed with this and said: "Yes, the old astronauts generally expect that the entry of powerful private enterprises will bring new positive changes to the rocket industry, and there is a large amount of launch demand in the world. The national team is not satisfied, foreign commercial aerospace is developing rapidly, and we are still working in the old model, how to face the global competition of commercial aerospace? This is a problem.”

After a while, another participant said with a smile: "I have read the announcement of the Kyushu Blue Arrow released by Qunxing Company. They describe the way to make rocket products in a rapid iterative way and use mature manufacturing capabilities to assemble the rocket. It is very interesting that the cost of rockets can be reduced by assembly and reuse, and the recycling and reuse of rockets is the core goal of Kyushu Blue Arrow."

At this time, another participant said: "If we open the door for the civilian use of technology, talents in the system will start to flow to private rocket companies, and how can the engineers and technicians who come out of the system avoid the technology developed by private companies? What about property rights disputes? This is also a problem.”

As time went by, the participants present were constantly discussing and exchanging opinions.

At the end, the leader who presided over the seminar smiled and said: "It seems that you are more supportive on the whole. The new global competition in commercial aerospace is a new challenge that we have to face. That sentence is good. Behind the commercial rocket industry, In the final analysis, it is still a contest of great power strategy.”

The leaders obviously have a positive attitude towards the entry of private capital into the aerospace field. After all, this is tantamount to indirectly increasing the country's investment in the aerospace field. This kind of difficult high-tech field is often difficult for private capital. cold place.

Now that Qunxing Capital popped up suddenly, and it was so big when it came up, it was not afraid of losing money, which surprised the relevant leaders.

And another more important factor is that the commercial aerospace industry is also engaged in the old American side. Blue Origin was established in 2000, and SpaceX was established in 2002.

The first domestic private aerospace company was announced yesterday, so it can be said that it started nearly ten years late.

...

Fang Hong didn't know that the leaders of relevant departments had already paid attention to the matter of Kyushu Blue Arrow, and held a temporary seminar.

However, the relevant leaders have no attitude towards the establishment of Kyushu Blue Arrow.

Not having an attitude is itself an attitude.

Then let’s talk about it after doing it. Anyway, there is no prohibition on doing it, and there is no express law stipulating that private enterprises cannot enter the aerospace field.

But because there is no clear document guidance, it is inconvenient for the relevant leaders to give an attitude at the moment. It depends on Kyushu Lanjian or Fang Hong's understanding and determination.

Obviously, Fang Hong has no problems in terms of understanding and determination.

The most important thing is that he knows that the country will let go in the future, and the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will also open the door for the civilian use of military technology, and relevant guidance documents will be released around 2016.

According to the historical trajectory, if there is no accident, around May 2016, the relevant state authorities will issue the guidance document "On the Implementation of the Major Project Package for Manufacturing Upgrading and Transformation", and list the "Commercial Aerospace Product Development Project" as a key project, including Production lines for the development of commercial remote sensing satellites, communication satellites and launch vehicles.

At the end of December 2016, the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Bureau issued the "2016 National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Special Action Plan for Military-Civilian Integration". This guidance document includes: promoting the transformation of military technology into the civilian field, demonstrating support for a number of military industries to engage in technology industries Projects...Actively promote the establishment of military-civilian integration industry investment funds for national defense science and technology industry.

Fang Hong is sure that these two documents will be released at that time, because this is the general trend.

It is also because of this that we can start it directly now, and wait for the documents to be released before we start it. The day lily will be cold.

In fact, Fang Hong is not worried that it will be in vain at that time. His plan for Kyushu Blue Arrow is to introduce the two major national team aerospace groups as soon as possible, that is, let the aerospace giants of these two national teams become shareholders of Kyushu Blue Arrow.

Let's get it started first. By the time the documents come down, Kyushu Blue Arrow has already accumulated enough technical reserves.

We really wait until the documents are released, not to mention that the daylily is cold, and it will be more difficult to catch up with foreigners. At present, there is a gap with SpaceX and other old-fashioned companies, but it is not that exaggerated.

It is worth mentioning that, with Kyushu Blue Arrow publicly announcing its establishment, Qunxing Capital has finally entered the sight of some special departments of "America". Sophisticated field.

It’s not like playing with financial capital operations, but really supporting high-tech with real money. It’s enough to just step on the sewing machine to make clothes and engage in OEM. Are you able to play high-tech? It’s okay to play, if you play for a while, then I will still play der in the United States?

These operations of Qunxing Capital made Lao Mei feel a little uncomfortable, and at the same time, the attention index of Qunxing Capital gradually increased.
