Chapter: 6550

It seemed to her that their relationship was not simple, but she thought it was just her imagination.

So she opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Ye, don't worry about anything. Mr. An and others are here, and I and the other members of the royal family will definitely take care of everything."

She added, "By the way, Mr. Ye, there is a vacation home owned by the Northern European royal family in Lingen. It was built by my grandmother's father when she was young. There, you can see the aurora borealis best, and it is surrounded by tens of kilometers of royal territory without any interference from others. They have been maintaining it for years."

Ye Chen didn't know that the Northern European royal family had a vacation home in the small town he was going to visit, which sounded like it would be very convenient. So he said, "I'll ask Lin Wan'er's opinion later."

Helen nodded and said, "Mr. Ye, please wait for a moment. I'll have someone bring over the key from there. You can discuss it with Miss Lin on your way if she's interested, and then you two can go directly."

Ye Chen thought Helen's proposal was very reasonable and didn't hesitate anymore. Helen quickly had her butler bring over a set of keys. The butler told him that the vacation home Helen mentioned was actually an estate located on a small hill overlooking Lingen, owned by the Northern European royal family. The early years saw the Northern European royal family having more power and economic freedom, so they bought the land to build a vacation villa in a Nordic style for their daughter.

Since the vacation villa held many childhood memories of the old queen, even when the Northern European royal family's fortunes declined over the years, they still took good care of it. Helen would occasionally visit with her family as a child.

Ye Chen received the keys and brought along some clothes to change with Lin Wan'er. They left the palace and headed towards Lingen, where Data Center was located in the north. Anke Feng, Li Yalin, and Lang Hongjun were all there, so Ye Chen went to visit them on his way.

As he arrived, Ye Chen greeted a few people and told them to handle small matters with Helen and important ones with him.

Just as they were leaving, Lang Hongjun caught up with Ye Chen and said, "Mr. Ye, I have something to discuss with you."

Ye Chen asked, "What's going on, old brother?"

Lang Hongjun replied, "I've gone over the specifications of the satellite systems, data libraries, and communication networks for several days now, and I found that since SpaceX started taking commercial satellite launches, our company has been relying on them to launch our satellites. They're one of our earliest customers and biggest supporters."

He continued, "Their cooperation with us is very close, so I was thinking of asking you to arrange a meeting with them, allowing us to use their name to release our communication satellites into orbit. Then, through their deep cooperation with SpaceX, we can ask for their help in launching our satellite into space."

As he finished speaking, Lang Hongjun added, "Satellite launches are strictly controlled and have very high standards. There are only around ten companies worldwide that provide satellite launch services, but the requirements for these companies are many. If we don't find a suitable partner, we'll need to re-establish cooperation with SpaceX and so on. It would be more convenient to simply use their name."

Ye Chen listened to his explanation and nodded slightly, saying, "This shouldn't be a problem. I'll communicate with the person in charge, old brother. Do you have any other requirements?"

Lang Hongjun thought for a moment and said, "If the launch issues can be simplified, I'd like to increase the number of satellites to over thirty. Our communication satellites are already miniaturized and cost-effective, even SpaceX's satellite chain costs only tens of thousands of dollars per unit. In the future, there will be thousands of satellites in orbit, but for us to solve our own global communication and internet access issues, a few dozen near-Earth satellites would be enough."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Since we got the data from the celestial line, I've actually further increased my expectations for satellites. As long as we can achieve the effects we're hoping for, whether it's launching dozens or thousands of satellites, it's all the same to me. Old brother, you just go ahead and do it, if you need money, I'll give it; if you need people, I'll outsource it; if you need connections, I'll help you find them. We can get our satellites launched by next year."

Lang Hongjun was excited and said, "If we can secure a launch spot, we could have our satellites in orbit by the first quarter of next year. The communication satellite itself doesn't require high-tech content; it's just like assembling a computer or hardware. The supply chain can handle it, but the difficulty lies in launching and using the satellites afterwards, as well as adapting software. These are my specialties, and I'm confident I can do them well."

Ye Chen saw that Lang Hongjun had already analyzed everything thoroughly and was fully prepared, so he said, "Old brother, you just go ahead and handle these aspects. Meanwhile, I can establish a venture fund in the United States and then use it to invest in your startup company when the time comes. This way, you can bring your previous colleagues together to work with us."

Lang Hongjun rushed to say, "Mr. Ye, my financial situation is really bad, and the FBI and tax authorities will be able to track everything easily if I leave the United States soon. Suddenly receiving an angel investment would likely raise suspicions, not to mention my old colleagues might also be confused. It's better for you to start a satellite communication business internally at Celestial Line and then have me take on the role of business manager. This way, outsiders won't suspect anything, nor will my previous colleagues, and most importantly, SpaceX won't suspect anything either!"

So he told Lang Hongjun, "Old brother's suggestion is very good. Celestial Line is an American company that is fully controlled by the Rockefeller family in name, and it has a unique advantage in doing satellite communication under this corporate structure. I'll hurry up to implement this plan and then have Celestial Line publicly announce its plan to establish a new communication department. Then, I'll put out job postings, and old brother can send me a resume at that time, and after old brother is done with his work here, Celestial Line will invite him for an interview, and he can go back to the United States for the interview process if he passes."

Lang Hongjun nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, Mr. Ye. After I pass the interview process, I'll immediately contact my former colleagues, who may be a bit older but have gone through various workplace crises. Now they're eager to outdo young people in terms of professionalism, as long as we give them an opportunity."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Old brother, don't worry. As long as old brother's colleagues do their jobs well, I won't lay anyone off or reduce their salaries; I'll provide a stable work environment for everyone."

Lang Hongjun hastened to say, "Mr. Ye, I trust no one, but I'm confident in you. With this assurance from you, I have no worries left!"

Ye Chen smiled and advised, "Old brother, after he goes to Celestial Line, I'll make sure that none of the people at Celestial Line will interfere with his work or business responsibilities. However, old brother shouldn't let his colleagues know what kind of company he's working for; it should be related to Wanlong Hall." JrNovels.com
