Also, Iraq has never had space technology, and it is very difficult for them to develop satellites. These happen to be their own strengths.

Although Iraq can import advanced components from Europe in the field of electronic technology, which has already surpassed the big eastern countries, but space technology is a new science, which is different from the technology on the ground in many ways.For example, when it is launched, it has to withstand high overload, and when it is in orbit, it has to withstand the low temperature in space and various space radiations. There are many ways to design and manufacture.

Resource survey satellites?What kind of satellite is this?Huang Zuoyi was more curious. Although he only focused on shooting, he was very familiar with many things on the satellite.

This definition has many implications.

"This satellite needs to have a resolution of less than one meter. At the same time, it needs to fly in orbit for more than three years. At the same time, it can send the captured photos back to the ground by wireless transmission through communication equipment." Amir said.

Hearing what this person said, Huang Zuoyi felt that it was a bit like launching a satellite. The requirements were too high, and domestic technology could not do it!

What the other party said was of course a reconnaissance satellite. In the big eastern country, no one would claim to have launched a reconnaissance satellite. Therefore, they were all replaced by land and resources survey satellites and returnable remote sensing satellites.In fact, the returnable remote sensing satellite launched a few days ago is an out-and-out reconnaissance satellite.

However, their reconnaissance satellites are all returnable satellites. This is because these satellites are reconnaissance satellites on the ground, using the first-generation returnable photographic census satellite code-named Jianbing No. 3, using optical cameras to shoot film, and the orbit time is 5 After 10 days, it is meaningless to keep it, because the film has been used up, and the satellite needs to return to the ground, take out the film, and after washing, get a ground image with a resolution of [-] meters, which can be used for the discovery of fixed targets on the ground and identify.

The other party proposed that the resolution should be less than one meter, which can be achieved with a more precise lens, but how to send the photos back by radio?

However, just admit that you can't do it?Then wouldn't the contract that came so easily this time be ruined?He has experienced many failures and knows how difficult it is to break into the international launch market.

In later generations, the Long March rocket claimed to enter the international commercial launch market in 85, but it was not until the 90s that the first commercial launch began. The Long March rocket was unknown, and it was too difficult to obtain the approval of the outside world. That The timing was great. After 85, the United States and France failed to launch ten times. In 86, even the space shuttle exploded. Users who needed to launch satellites found China.

"This is a cooperation project between the two sides in the aerospace field. You should know that our Arabian space company has been established. This satellite is the first project of our space company. We will purchase high-definition imaging remote sensors from Europe. The image of the ground scene is captured by scanning, and transmitted to the ground satellite receiving terminal by means of digital image transmission. We purchased this part, and the other parts of the satellite were jointly developed and developed by us and your satellite development department. We can A large number of European circuit equipment are used, and we have received technical support from Ousheng Electronics, which has strong research and development capabilities in communications, and will be responsible for our ground receiving equipment." Amir said.

Of course, Qusay knows that the technology he proposed is not available in the current big eastern countries. To be precise, this technology of scanning images and then transmitting them in real time was not used by the United States until the end of 76. keyhole on the spy satellite.Although ten years have passed, the technical threshold is still very high.

Eastern powers can develop the main body of the satellite, such as the outer shell, solar panels, star orbit control mechanism, and ground receiving mechanism.However, they couldn't produce this core reconnaissance component, otherwise, they wouldn't have to keep launching returnable remote sensing satellites.

This kind of satellite is too wasteful, and Iraq cannot afford it.

A high-definition imaging remote sensor, in the civilian field, has a very good choice, that is, CCD, which is a high-end photosensitive element of digital cameras that will be necessary for future generations.In 84, this technology had made a breakthrough.

If military-grade high-precision imaging remote sensors cannot be obtained, civilian ones are also Qusay's backup option. Of course, as long as he is willing to pay a high price, France will definitely sell them.

China's star, imported photosensitive devices, and the transmission system supported by Ousheng's technology, this land and resources survey satellite will be realized in this way, and it will become a zero breakthrough in Iraqi space technology.

Hearing Amir's words, Huang Zuoyi knew that the technical problems had been cleared up. This kind of cooperation would bring new opportunities to the satellite development unit. They would definitely agree, and it could also improve their own development level. It is a win-win choice.

"We need to discuss the specific technical details, but in principle, there should be no other problems with this contract." Huang Zuoyi said.

"We also have a new proposal. Your side will help us build a ground control station. We need to operate satellite orbit changes when necessary. At the same time, we must also accurately observe satellite orbits." Amir said.

"No problem at all," Huang Zuoyi said.

Amir nodded. This time, the purpose has been achieved. With the ground control observation station, they can also monitor the satellites of other countries above their heads.

Chapter 9 Eleven Acquisitions

Tokyo, Toshiba headquarters building.

Here, it used to be brightly lit, and it was once one of the most enviable workplaces in the entire island country, but now, when this place is mentioned, there are always some silent eyes, even some disgust.

Because of this incident, Toshiba is not only notorious internationally, but also has a very bad reputation domestically.

Toshiba Corporation violated the Batumi regulations and exported precision processing equipment to the Soviet Union. It made profits for itself, but it dragged down the entire island country's enterprises.

Although other companies have more or less exported various things to the Soviet Union, none of them have been discovered.Now, because of Toshiba's export of machine tools, the United States, and even the entire NATO countries, are full of distrust of companies in island countries, and the vicious penalty tariffs that followed have made them miserable.

Of course, these Toshiba companies are acceptable, they can ignore the eyes of their peers, but it is impossible for them not to worry about their own profits.

All of Toshiba's product lines have been discontinued, and the [-]% tariff has completely closed the door to their exports. At home, the high fines imposed by the government have also placed a heavy burden on them.

If it's just these things, Toshiba can still accept it. However, due to the company's notoriety, the company's stock has been leaked for thousands of miles, and this is the biggest blow.

They can survive no matter what kind of punitive measures are taken, but the sharp drop in the company's stock has finally become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

If the company wants to survive, there is only one way: to give up some of its business and sell it to other companies, so that it can have enough funds to develop itself.

Originally, Toshiba was backed by the Mitsui Consortium, and it had enough ability to resist external turmoil. Unfortunately, after World War II, the Mitsui Consortium lost its former glory and became a loose organization. Others in the consortium Enterprises, such as Mitsui Bank, Mitsubishi Group, and Toyota Group, are unwilling to spend too much money to help Toshiba escape this crisis.

They are all implicated by Toshiba, and their exports are all unsalable now. Where can there be, or they are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to support Toshiba's stock!

Inside the company, there was a fierce dispute over what business should be sold. In this incident, the foundry department and the machine tool business department got into trouble, and these two departments should be sold!

However, the high-level officials did not pass because these departments are all established departments of Toshiba Corporation.

Toshiba Corporation was originally formed in 1939 by the merger of two island nation companies.Tanaka Works was the first telegraph equipment manufacturing company in Japan; later changed its name to Shibaura Works.In the early 20th century, the company became the island nation's heavy electromechanical manufacturing company.

The second company, formerly known as Bairesha, was the first company in the island country to produce incandescent light bulb desk lamps, and later produced various consumer electronics products, and later changed its name to Tokyo Denki.

In other words, Toshiba's main business is still household appliances and heavy electromechanical equipment.In later generations, Toshiba Corporation transformed into a comprehensive electronic and electrical enterprise including communications and electronics. This also began to develop rapidly in the 90s. They made progress in the fields of digital technology, mobile communication technology, and network technology, and turned to the IT industry.

At present, these departments have not received much attention within Toshiba, or they are the first objects of Toshiba to be abandoned.

There is another reason, because now, in the electronic market, a new giant has emerged, Ousheng Electronics Company, which is developing rapidly and has involved personal consumer electronics products, such as Walkmans, personal communication products, Such as mobile phones, and various aspects of the personal computer business, they occupy the world's major market share, Toshiba is very difficult to open up the market.

In this case, they gradually reached an agreement to sell certain items in the semiconductor department in exchange for enough funds to help the company through this most difficult time.

After getting the news, Ousheng Electronics contacted immediately, hoping to acquire these projects.

After initially reaching an agreement, Sarah, the general manager of Ousheng Company, led a team to Toshiba Company to negotiate with the other party's senior management.

"Miss Sarah, I am very happy to meet you in Tokyo. Your company's rise in a few years has made all our colleagues very envious." Toshiba President Yoshio Kawano said.

"I'm also very happy and hope our cooperation will go smoothly," Sarah said.

For the companies in the island country, Sarah has already made an understanding, especially in the field of electronics, Toshiba and Sony have strong capabilities, so, taking advantage of the fact that the other party has not yet developed, annexed the other party, Elimination in the bud is very important.

As for the specific operation, it is not completely hasty. It is best to reach some agreements now. If it cannot be reached now, then there are other means. A subsidiary of our own is currently conducting The largest investment business in the company is enough to bring all these companies to the brink of loss. The acquisition two years later may save more funds.

However, now the personal computer of Ousheng Company has come out, and the development of the two CPUs has entered the final moment, and the personal computer, only the CPU is not enough, and it must also have various auxiliary circuits, such as motherboard chips , memory, graphics card, etc., and now, Toshiba's personal computer business has entered a process of industrialization, and the computers they produce have opened up the market. The company's personal computers immediately entered a process of mass production and quickly occupied the global market.

Therefore, Sarah is here to negotiate now, just to rob. If the other party's asking price is right, then buy it. If the other party's asking price is not right, then wait another two years, after the island country's economy has been hit hard, and buy it at a cheaper price.

"Our company's current development direction has undergone new changes, so we want to sell some of the current projects in order to concentrate more funds and develop our advantageous projects." Kawano Yoshio said.

Of course he would not say that his company had to sell some of its property because of poor cash flow, a sharp drop in stock prices, and the inability to survive both at home and abroad.

"Our company is now developing in more directions. Therefore, we are more interested in some projects of your company. Our company has now successfully developed CPU and entered the personal computer business. Therefore, we are very interested in your company's personal computer business. Department, very interested." Sarah said.

No other company can make huge profits for any project that Ousheng Company is involved in!Mobile communication technology is a living example. If it weren't for anti-monopoly laws, they would have crushed Motorola's mobile communication department long ago.

Therefore, Sarah said this to tell the other party that if they do not cooperate with us, then the other party's personal computer will not make much profit, and it is better to sell it as soon as possible.

Acquire the entire PC business unit?The manager in charge of the personal computer business department under the seat suddenly trembled. Up to now, the personal computer business department is still profitable. The portable computers they involve have successfully occupied the American market. Their profit this month will be even more.

I hope that the top management will not abandon themselves. He is very confident that this department will become the most profitable department of the company in the future.

"Our company can sell 30.00% of the shares in the personal computer business department." Kawano Yoshio said.
