CHAPTER 532: CHAPTER 531: REQUEST
Jiang Cheng directly told Xiang Dong the location of the warehouse, letting him send people to pick up the goods.
Anyway, he wasn’t afraid the family would delay payment; sending goods before receiving money wasn’t a big deal.
The family definitely wouldn’t default on your payment. Not a penny will be short; you can rest assured. Once the quantity is confirmed, the money will be directly transferred to your account.
Xiang Dong was quite straightforward about the payment matter, as he wasn’t spending his own money, so he naturally didn’t care much.
By the way, do you have any other requests? The family will try its best to help you with anything you need. Just let me know.
After completing his task, Xiang Dong asked if Jiang Cheng had any special requests.
He came here this time with the purpose of seeing if Jiang Cheng needed any help.
The family has had a good situation lately, thanks to Jiang Cheng’s help.
Just the Iron Man Armor alone has made other families afraid to provoke the Yan Family.
Seriously speaking, the family owes Jiang Cheng a big favor, and none of these have been repaid yet. The leadership specifically instructed to help Jiang Cheng in other areas to repay the family’s debt.
Someone mentioned this before coming here: as long as Jiang Cheng’s requests aren’t excessive, try to fulfill them.
So, Xiang Dong asked Jiang Cheng, which was part of his task.
If I had a problem that needed solving, there indeed is something I’d need the family to help with right now.
Upon hearing Xiang Dong’s offer, Jiang Cheng didn’t hold back and was ready to mention his satellite issue.
Originally, Jiang Cheng intended to discuss the satellite matter anyway, and the other party offered to help solve problems — it couldn’t be better.
What’s the matter? Don’t worry; if it can be solved, we will definitely solve it for you. If it can’t, we’ll still think of a way to help you.
Helping Jiang Cheng was something Xiang Dong was happy to do, so he confidently agreed.
This matter counted as part of his task this time, and completing two tasks at once satisfied him.
Since the other party agreed with conviction, Jiang Cheng didn’t hold back and directly stated his request.
I want to launch my own private satellite, mainly for communication purposes, using a private communication satellite for my company’s internal communication.
But the Yan Family won’t let me launch a rocket, so I need the family’s help. Do you think the family can handle the satellite launch?
When Jiang Cheng spoke, Xiang Dong was surprised; although Xiang Dong promised readily, he didn’t expect Jiang Cheng to make such a request.
Launching a satellite isn’t a small matter; just preparing takes a long time. The family needs to invest significant resources, involving many units, and requires cooperation among many technical personnel.
Launching a satellite into space isn’t as simple as finding a rocket and firing it.
It requires coordination among many departments to successfully launch a rocket.
Xiang Dong never imagined Jiang Cheng would want to launch a private satellite.
The matter impacted him significantly, leaving him momentarily unable to react.
Launching a satellite is talked about so casually by Jiang Cheng, almost like shopping for groceries.
Xiang Dong was stunned for a while before he snapped back to reality, astonished by Jiang Cheng’s words.
After calming down, Xiang Dong couldn’t believe Jiang Cheng’s words, wearing a confused expression, and asked Jiang Cheng.
Did you just say launching a satellite? Was there something wrong with my hearing? Is it the kind that goes into space, not some weird stuff?
Jiang Cheng wasn’t surprised by Xiang Dong’s reaction, not feeling the opposite party overreacted.
He certainly knew how shocking his words were; wanting to launch a satellite isn’t a casual endeavor.
Although Jiang Cheng understood the reaction, he didn’t intend to accommodate Xiang Dong’s feelings.
Jiang Cheng shrugged casually and said, You heard right; I mentioned a private satellite. The satellite is just like the one you are thinking of; it flies in the sky and has to be launched with a rocket.
His tone was so casual, as if he was discussing buying groceries rather than satellites.
Jiang Cheng’s demeanor further stimulated Xiang Dong’s nerves, his head filled with black lines, shouting at Jiang Cheng.
Oh my god! You do know what you’re talking about! How can you talk so casually?
Do you know how troublesome launching a satellite is? It’s a satellite, after all. Do you know how much effort it takes to launch a satellite?
It seems Jiang Cheng’s casual attitude really got to Xiang Dong; discussing such high-tech matters with such a light tone was hard for him to digest.
In his mind, negotiating satellite matters should be in a very formal setting.
Both sides should bring along a bunch of experts, each with stacks of technical documents, and engage in serious discussions in meeting rooms.
Not as carefree as Jiang Cheng, not treating the matter with importance, as if discussing where to eat dinner.
High-tech products like satellites cost huge amounts of money just to manufacture, not affordable for ordinary people.
Furthermore, the satellite cost is just a small part; launching a satellite is a staggering expense.
Currently, to launch a satellite into space, one has to use a carrier rocket.
Globally, there aren’t many families capable of rocket launches; it’s just a few families.
Carrier rockets are extremely expensive and have the possibility of launch failure.
Besides their prohibitive cost, rockets are disposable; one launch, and they’re completely scrapped, with no reuse, making them costly single-use items.
Unfortunately, to someone like Jiang Cheng, satellites aren’t considered high-tech.
In a past life, he even used spaceships regularly, so satellites appeared low-end.
Had the family allowed rocket launches, he would make one for fun.
Since he grasped all the related technology, not short on funding for rocket manufacturing — only needing the family’s approval.
After some time, Xiang Dong finally calmed down and thought the matter through.
He thought if anyone else requested satellite launching, he would assume they were insane.
But Jiang Cheng wasn’t an ordinary person; if he wanted his own satellite, it might be possible.
With others, he would regard it as a joke, but Jiang Cheng had the capability to do it. So Xiang Dong asked Jiang Cheng, "Are you really serious about launching a satellite? Are you really serious?"
Of course, I’m serious. Why joke with you? I’m not doing it for fun; the company truly needs a communications satellite.
So I’m asking if the family can handle it?
