It's not just Zhuang Jianye who wants to stand up and earn money, but merlinz?
For an international professional high-end second dealer, the more cost-effective high-end aerospace materials and parts, the more rich the price difference and the higher the profit.
Because of this, merlinz couldn't keep a long-term and stable supply relationship with Zhuang Jianye.
After all, in addition to Lockheed space equipment's iridium program, merlinz has several potential customers. For example, New Delhi's ambitious space program requires a lot of sophisticated space parts and high-end space materials.
However, the aerospace products of the United States and Europe are extremely expensive. Because of the disintegration of Russia, social unrest and unreliable quality, New Delhi always has loud slogans and loud numbers, but none of them can be implemented.
so that Merlins will always be crazy about Tucao, and I want to point at the New Delhi bureaucratic nose: "no, don't make complaints about that.
However, if a long-term supply relationship is established with Tengfei group, merlinz can dump high-end aerospace parts to New Delhi at a price of 10% to 20% lower than the international market price, thus seizing excess profits.
In addition, the long-range missile projects of Iran and North Korea also need high-precision aerospace parts as support. Not only that, these two countries have clear development goals, so in addition to single spare parts, they are also eager to improve the manufacturing capacity of aerospace professional equipment.
All of the above are the high-end customers of merlinz, and Tengfei group is just like a changeable beauty who can be salty or sweet, can be royal sister and Laurie, and can be both sexy and pure. It is in line with merlinz's various tastes and easy to achieve one-stop service.
Aware of this, merlinz immediately made a major adjustment to the tone of this trip to Tengfei group. From the original test tour of giving 10% of iridium plan spare parts share, it is completely called the journey of establishing long-term and stable cooperation with Tengfei group.
Because of this, merlinz is kind and friendly to Zhuang Jianye. With his fat figure, he seems to be a simple minded man. It's what Zhuang Jianye says, as if Zhuang Jianye is his backbone.
In fact, it's just a means of merlinz. Anyway, the profit of his turnover is not bad. Why bother Zhuang Jianye, a crucial cooperative supplier, for a little face?
This is true of merlinz. Zhuang Jianye is not bad either. There is no need to be flattered by foreigners. Reciprocity is the way to get along.
Both of them are eager to cooperate with each other. Coupled with the so-called "unswerving friendship" between businesses, the progress of both sides is very fast.
Contact began at the end of July. In mid August, the satellite parts that merlinz sent to Tengfei group in the United States passed the joint quality inspection of Lockheed space equipment company and Motorola iridium project team.
During this period, merlinz set up CP and VP leather bag companies, as the docking of space origin with the leather bag company set up by Tengfei group, to operate the spacecraft spare parts, high-end aerospace materials, professional Aerospace processing equipment and other businesses produced by Tengfei group.
After receiving the notice that the products of Tengfei group passed the inspection of domestic organizations in the United States, merlinz immediately purchased special aerospace products with a value of 1.268 billion US dollars from space origin through CP and VP.
Among them, US $560 million is the satellite spare parts of iridium program, including US $300 million of non core satellite spare parts such as titanium alloy truss, aluminum magnesium alloy antenna bracket and magnesium alloy solar cell folding support frame.
A total of 300 sets of loop heat pipe cooling system with 260 million US dollars.
Originally, the cooling system was made by an American company, using the traditional energy distribution technology. However, the problem is that the total mass of Motorola's iridium project communication satellite does not exceed 800 kg, so it is unable to carry high-energy nuclear batteries, and the existing battery energy density can not meet the requirements of multiple systems working at the same time.
At the moment of headache, like the Savior of the sky, merlinz took out a $1.58 million loop heat pipe cooling system. Compared with the similar products produced by Lora space systems, which were acquired by European companies, the high price is more than $2.5 million. Merlinz's loop heat pipe cooling system is not only affordable, but also has the same performance as that of Lora space systems .
In that case, of course, it's the big list.
As for the possible cost overrun caused by the addition of an expensive loop heat pipe cooling system, Lockheed does not have much concern. The reason is very simple. Without the power distribution of the cooling system, there will be sufficient energy left for other electronic systems, so that some "mature" technologies with high power but not poor performance can be used.
In this way, through the "system integration" of Locke system, the overall development and production cost of iridium project has not exceeded, but saved 290000 US dollars.
It can be called a miracle in the field of aerospace cost control in recent years.
However, the real miracle is not only the cost control of Lockheed, but also the business of merlinz's second dealer. It's really a roar of gongs and drums and firecrackers.Because in addition to Lockheed, merlinz also included 90% of the foreign procurement business in the New Delhi space program, and this list is the remaining $708 million of the $1268 million.
It includes 28 sets of loop heat pipe cooling system, 1000 kg of common carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composite, 500 kg of common carbon fiber reinforced titanium matrix composite, 45 satellite special antennas made of common carbon fiber reinforced magnesium matrix composite and four sets of dl-666 aerospace special CNC drilling equipment with ultrasonic vibration processing technology.
Compared with the deal with Lockheed, merlinz is much more difficult to deal with New Delhi. Not only the product's performance is not comparable, but also the price is as high as the wind. He has worked hard to pull up.
Let's take the loop heat pipe cooling system as an example. The factory price of 880000 US dollars for Tengfei group is 1.58 million US dollars for Lockheed, and it is 2.35 million US dollars for New Delhi.
There is also dl-666 CNC drilling equipment with VP logo. The price Zhuang Jianye offered to merlinz is US $2 million. Merlinz turned to New Delhi and dared to shout US $6 million.
This is just one of the fat sheep on the list of merlinz, followed by Iran, North Korea, Iraq, Egypt, South Africa, Brazil
Therefore, after confirming the purchase contract of US $1.268 billion, merlinz also initialed an intention contract with Zhuang Jianye, with a total amount of US $6.7 billion, and determined to strive to increase the transaction volume of both parties to US $3 billion in the next three years.
