When thunderous applause erupted from the scene, especially domestic reporters, they were excited from the bottom of their hearts. Several male reporters even stood up and applauded.
At the same time, Liu Xing on the stage was also very excited. With the research and development and launch capabilities of the Beidou satellite navigation system, it can be said that Future Space Technology Company has stood at the top of the international space technology field.
As the head of Future Space Technology Company, his name will be constantly mentioned as the Beidou satellite navigation system is widely used around the world.
This is the greatest praise for someone who was unknown before, but for an ambitious person who wants to make achievements in the field of space and aerospace.
Of course, he will not be overly arrogant. Although the current Future Space Technology Company is already ahead of everyone, these technologies are provided by his own boss and cannot truly reflect the company's strength. When will the company When we obtain world-leading technology through independent research and development, that is true pride.
In fact, Zhao Yi has left follow-up tasks for Future Space Technology Company, which is to develop reusable rocket technology, space station technology, and many subsequent technologies.
With the technical foundation provided by Zhao Yi previously, they have already accumulated a certain amount of technology. Especially the construction of the Beidou satellite navigation system this time has allowed them to make great progress in space technology.
As for the follow-up plan, Zhao Yi does not plan to provide the technology himself. The reuse of rocket technology requires their own independent research and development. Zhao Yi will help the future space technology company in its infancy, and they will still have to walk the road ahead on their own.
Unless he encounters a special event, such as being suddenly overtaken by other countries or companies in technology, or encountering a major impact of political factors, he will use his absolute strength to help future space technology companies settle matters.
On the one hand, the strength mentioned here is absolute technical strength. Don’t underestimate technical strength. When the technical gap between the enemy and ourselves is not big, it will not play a big role. But when the technical strength between the enemy and us is like a natural chasm, then No matter how big the obstacle is, it is like a mantis using its arms as a chariot, vulnerable to a single blow.
On the other hand, strength is its economic influence all over the world. This is a hidden strength that is generally not easily used, and especially cannot be easily exposed.
Take trading companies as an example. They have currently penetrated about 30% of the global department store retail market share. This is terrifying data for a company.
Of course, the equity share is not that large, currently only a dozen percent, but with continued penetration, this proportion will definitely become higher and higher.
The annual global retail sales amount to more than ten trillion US dollars, and in later generations it has reached more than 20 trillion US dollars. With a 30% market share of this size, it can be said that it has a certain ability to influence the trend of the global retail market.
It's just that such strength cannot be easily shown to others, otherwise it will make other governments fearful and might use unconventional means.
Even the United States is helpless when sovereign countries sometimes use unconventional means. Just like the seven oil sisters in the early days, they controlled almost all oil fields in the Middle East.
As a result, these Middle Eastern countries announced that their oil fields were nationalized. Which American and European oil companies didn't obediently withdraw, and then replaced them with the oil capital of Middle Eastern countries.
It is for this reason that the seven early European and American oil sisters were either acquired or their asset scale or influence was greatly reduced.
Among the new seven oil sisters, the Middle East oil companies occupy the majority of the quotas. They are some national oil companies and members of OPEC.
Among these countries, except for Russia, which makes the United States a little afraid, other countries are far behind the United States and Europe. In the end, not all chose to swallow this bitter drink.
Therefore, the infiltration of trading companies is carried out quietly, using countless shadow companies to operate, and the equity relationships are so complicated that it is impossible to clarify the relationship without carefully checking the information.
The size of the trading company has reached this level, and subsequent penetration must be more careful and more difficult. Those that need to be conquered are families or consortiums with great capital strength.
In addition to trading companies deploying in the field of retail department stores, investment companies are also investing their excess funds in basic service fields in various countries, typically water, electricity, gas and other service fields.
In addition, Hong Kong Telecommunications Corporation is also deploying mobile communications in various countries. If these can eventually take shape, it can be said that they can have an impact to a certain extent.
This is easy to understand. A slight increase in the price of basic services in these countries will inevitably affect the speed of economic development. Although countries have a profit margin limit on basic services such as water, electricity and gas, there are always ways to circumvent these regulations.
If the cost of living of people in these countries increases and the production costs of enterprises increase, then the prices of social goods will increase, the extra expenditure available to the people will decrease, and it will be strange that the economy will not be hit.
Of course, this method should not be used lightly, otherwise it will cause unpredictable consequences, ranging from being punished to being forcibly confiscated.
These are the rights of sovereign countries, and one company cannot do them unless it has the military strength that these countries are afraid of.
Zhao Yi left the venue and came to the satellite control center. People from the military had already arrived here during the press conference. When Zhao Yi arrived, Liu Xing had just arrived from the press conference.
In fact, the current satellite control center is not busy because all satellite launch missions this year have been completed and only need to monitor these satellites that have already been launched.
The monitoring system is also intelligent, with a supercomputer responsible for monitoring and providing real-time feedback of the space coordinates of the satellite. If there is an abnormal deviation from the orbit, an automatic warning will be issued.
Not only that, the intelligent monitoring system can also perform tasks, that is, automatically perform abnormal satellite orbit deviations and automatic satellite orbit corrections.
Thanks to this system, the satellite monitoring center does not need so many people to keep an eye on the satellite orbit.
In the future, the civilian part of the Beidou satellite navigation system will be monitored here, while the military part will be built by the military in another satellite monitoring center in Kyoto.
If there is a conflict between the tasks of the two monitoring centers, the tasks of the Kyoto Satellite Monitoring Center will be given priority.
These were originally discussed with the military. The military has the highest authority over the Beidou satellite navigation system, while Future Space Technology Company has secondary authority.
It’s just that the military’s satellite monitoring center has not yet been fully built, and Zhao Yi is not very clear about the specific situation, but many of the equipment they use were ordered from Future Space Technology Company, and because the equipment has not been handed over yet, we only know that they The satellite monitoring center has not yet been fully built.
After the three parties gathered, they came to the lobby of the satellite monitoring center. There was a huge screen in front of it. Inside the screen was a huge three-dimensional image of the earth, and the satellites at various locations in the entire Beidou satellite navigation system were also virtual reality above the three-dimensional earth.
There are currently not many bright spots on the three-dimensional earth. Each of these bright spots represents a Beidou satellite navigation system device in use, displaying the longitude, latitude and altitude of these devices in real time.
Since the Beidou satellite navigation system has just been launched, the navigation devices of Polaris Company and the navigation chips of Semiconductor Company have not yet been sold to the outside world, so these highlights are all produced by cars with navigation functions currently produced by Shenlong Automobile Company in Nanjing.
All the latest Shenlong Automobile Company's cars will be equipped with car navigation systems as standard. Since this is the first launch, it is expected to increase Shenlong Automobile Company's share of the world's automobile market. Other car companies will respond by launching cars with car navigation systems. It is estimated that it will have to wait until half a year later.
This window period is reserved for Shenlong Automobile Company. With its excellent power performance and comfortable car layout, Shenlong Automobile Company has previously occupied 15% of the world's automobile market.
It can already be said to be a giant. Later, because they were the first to use LCD screen instrument panels in cars, their market share increased to 17%.
Now other automobile companies are also applying LCD screen technology to their own cars. Otherwise, Shenlong Motors will occupy more and more shares. Although it no longer has this advantage, Polaris's performance is relying on the entry of automobile companies. And increased significantly.
The technical content of LCD screens used in cars is higher than that of computer monitors and TV screens. They require a certain degree of impact resistance and high stability, so the price is much more expensive than ordinary LCD screens.
What Shenlong Automobile Company is currently conquering is to convert automobile glass into liquid crystal display, and the technical assistance is provided by Cornerstone Materials Company. After all, Shenlong Automobile Company's automotive glass is provided by Cornerstone Materials Company.
When this technology comes out, it will be the beginning of Shenlong Automobile Company's cars conquering the world, but before that, car navigation systems will allow Shenlong Automobile Company's cars to continue to invade the global automobile market.
This is because China is not a member of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and the tariffs on automobiles in other countries are slightly higher. Otherwise, automobile companies in other countries would not be able to compete with Shenlong Motors at all.
According to Shenlong Automobile's estimates, by taking the lead in using car navigation systems in its own cars, their global market share is expected to reach about 20%, which is expected to increase by 2 to 3 percentage points from the current level.
If the United States had not already raised corresponding tariffs on the cars of RB Motors and Shenlong Motors, the market share would have been even higher. Yes, the cars of Shenlong Motors have now received special treatment from the US government.
However, DPCA has gained a firm foothold in the U.S. auto market by virtue of its technology and performance that are one level higher than its peers.
It's just that the price of cars is more expensive than before, but the export price of Shenlong cars has not dropped because of this. The extra cost is completely borne by American consumers.
RB Auto is in more trouble. Originally, they relied on a low-price strategy and their profit margins were not high. Now that tariffs have been raised, their profits will be further compressed.
They didn't have the confidence of Shenlong Motors, so they had to think of another way. It was impossible to get the American people to foot the bill, so they came up with a joint venture strategy with American companies to achieve localized production and bypass tariff restrictions.
