After the launch failure, Lin Johnson and Mary and others were arranged to move out of the base immediately. The reason given by the Chinese side was to avoid accidental dangers in personnel. Although this reason was far-fetched, Lin Johnson and others didn't want to say anything more. They got on the car to the Xichang Airport around 10 a.m. that day.

Lin Johnson and Mary soon returned to Beijing by plane. Director Chen Bin of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and famous domestic space technology expert, Qi Faren, chief designer of the Dongfanghong 2 satellite, and Long Lehao, chief designer of the famous missile and launch vehicle - Long March 3 rocket, stayed at the satellite launch center to sort out the mistakes and omissions, summarized the experience and found the reasons.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th, Lin Johnson and others returned to the capital. Mary and others did not stop. They immediately completed the procedures for returning to China. On the morning of the 31st, they took the flight to New York, USA.

A few days later, Director Chen Bin, who was busy, called Lin Johnson. Lin Johnson was anxiously waiting for his news in the capital. Chen Bin said on the phone: "Xiaolin, this test launch failed, the third-level engine was not ignited, and the satellite did not enter the predetermined orbit."

He continued: "You left in a hurry and we didn't have a good chat. The Central Committee and I hope that the failure of this experiment will not affect the cooperation between us. You must believe that the scientific researchers in the motherland will find out the reasons and strive to do their best! The next launch is expected to be held in April. I invite you to watch it again. Our National Defense Science and Technology Commission will definitely give you a satisfactory result!"

After hearing this, Lin Qiangsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Director Chen, I think the country has done a good job. Which international rocket technology power has not failed? I believe that the Yangtze River Third Rocket will definitely succeed. I will not go in April. Let me tell me if I arrange my satellite launch time. Don't worry. Although this test launch failed, it will not affect our continued cooperation!"

He continued: "But, Americans saw it there! Will this have any bad international impact?"

Director Chen Bin said helplessly: "The influence has already existed, and foreign media have belittled us a lot!" He then smiled and said: "But we just show our enemy as weak, so we can save ourselves from promoting!"

Lin Johnson patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I am absolutely confident in China's rocket technology, and I will unswervingly support the continued development of satellite and rocket technology in China!"

Chen Bin said with emotion: "Thank you, Comrade Lin Johnson! On behalf of all the comrades from the Science and Technology Committee, the Space Research Institute and the Launch Vehicle Technology Research Institute, I would like to thank you!"

The two sighed for a while, and Chen Bin continued: "To be honest, there is really a little influence in the international market. We had already negotiated an international insurance company, but now the other party knew that our rocket launch failed and then stepped down. It seems that this company has failed again!"

Lin Johnson said regretfully: "The loss caused to the country by this failure in launch must be huge. A satellite and a rocket are gone, this is hundreds of millions of yuan!"

Although Chen Bin knew that the loss did not reach that much money this time, the loss was still quite large! A rough estimate was that the loss was at least 60 to 70 million. It was gone in an instant, and the backup satellites and rockets had to be used to complete the launch mission in the future. It also led to a bad international impact, and foreign countries slandered China's satellite and rocket technology! Especially now that the country's development focus has shifted to economic construction, the country is very poor and needs money everywhere, and the already stretched national defense budget has another big hole. The pressure from home and abroad has been felt by the Ministry of Science and Technology and other departments!

Director Chen Bin paused for a while and said: "The China Civil Insurance Company of China has clearly stated that it will not accept insurance policies. Now the situation has reached a very urgent moment! The superiors and I both think that it is time for you to establish a joint venture for insurance companies that you proposed earlier to be put on the agenda! Prime Minister Kobayashi and Prime Minister Zhao have called me, and the above agreed in principle to agree to your plan. The country will select several companies to jointly invest in the joint venture with Dongxing Company to establish an insurance company! This insurance company is very important and must undertake guarantee tasks specifically for major projects in some countries!"

Lin Johnson stood up when he heard this surprising news. He said excitedly: "Does China really agree? That's great!"

He then asked again: "When will the construction start?"

Director Chen Bin smiled and said, "You are very anxious! I can tell you that we have to take out insurance for the test shot in April!"

Lin Johnson laughed and said, "It's okay, I have learned the lessons. I believe you will succeed in the next test shot!"

Director Chen Bin quipped: "You have great confidence in the country!"

Lin Johnson nodded repeatedly and said, "It's not okay to have no confidence. The cost of launching satellites abroad is too expensive!"

Chen Bin smiled for a while and chatted with Lin Johnson for a few more words. He told Lin Johnson that someone would come to him to discuss the establishment of an insurance company in China. Finally, Director Chen Bin also reminded him not to mention the failure of the satellite launch to others, and the news of the country has been temporarily blocked!

On February 11th, things began to make progress on the 9th day after the Spring Festival. The Beijing City Government notified Lin Johnson to hold an intention meeting on the establishment of a joint venture insurance company.

Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly flew back to the capital with his people. At the meeting, he met the top leader of the municipal government and relevant leaders of the Beijing State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Lin Johnson brought female secretary Mu Qing and several foreign business negotiators. Lin Johnson signed a long-term contract with a negotiator, which would take turns to send people to station in China.

Before the meeting started, they met the secretary of the Chen Municipal Party Committee, deputy secretary and mayor. This leader named Chen was truly a powerful figure in the officialdom of the capital.

The leader surnamed Chen was obviously stunned when he saw Lin Johnson. This short-sized leader did not expect that the foreign capital representative would be so young!

"Hello, Secretary Chen, I am Lin Qiangsheng, the chairman of Dongxing Company!" Lin Qiangsheng tried hard to squeeze out his smile and shook hands with the person in front of him.

There is no way, this leader surnamed Chen is a real legend to Lin Johnson. His gossip and deeds have made Lin Johnson fascinated for a long time!

In my previous life, I accidentally had a drink and party with my friends. When I was chatting, everyone also made fun of this person's deeds. I didn't expect that Lin Johnson would really see him in this life!

At this time, Lin Qiangsheng had already recalled the mysterious, excited, depressed and curious laughter that everyone showed when they talked about this person in the past life, especially when they talked about his amazing deeds.

The attention returned to the smile that Lin Johnson's face squeezed out gradually bloomed and then became bigger and bigger, making the person in front of him feel that Lin Johnson's face lit up, making Chen Xitong's eyes blurred and itchy throat!

"Hehe, hello, Chairman Xiaolin!" Chen Xitong said in his heart, isn't there anything wrong with this young man seeing him so happy, right?

Chen Xitong shook Lin Johnson's hand away and shook hands with several foreigners casually and said a few half-baked English. When he saw the beautiful secretary Mu Qing who was beside Lin Johnson, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Mu Qing has matured a lot now. Her temperament is very different from that of domestic women in society. It is the kind of smell emitted by senior white-collar workers raised in large companies. Moreover, she is also very beautiful. She is 23 or 24 years old, which is the best time period in a woman's life. This makes Mu Qingzhou exuding tempting magic, which is naturally very attractive to Chen Xitong!

Mu Qing frowned slightly by Chen Xitong's stare. She had never seen anyone looking at her with such a look, and she was also a senior official in the capital!

Mu Qing nodded politely. Over the years, she has trained her to become a real office strong woman at Dongxing Company. Although the girl is young, she has been abroad for two years, and Mu Qing is quite talented! During that time, she not only broadened her horizons but also had ease in communicating with foreigners. Now she gives people the feeling that she is smart, capable, mature and confident, and has an intellectual beauty!

Chen Xitong took the initiative to walk forward and shook hands with Mu Qing and said, "Hello, Miss! Are you from Dongxing Company?"

Lin Qiangsheng's face changed quietly. He said wisely in a hurry: "This is Miss Mu Qing, my secretary! Secretary Chen, although she is not old, she is very capable!"

Chen Xitong listened to Lin Johnson's tone that was deliberately strengthened, but he didn't know what Lin Johnson meant. Now he is not the Chen Xitong who does whatever he wants ten years later. He laughed dryly and let go of his hand and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay! Lucky! Lucky!"

After everyone sat down, Chen Xitong did not give Lin Qiangsheng a good look. He only heard him say: "This time the Central Committee appointed me to be responsible for establishing a joint venture insurance company. Since this is the case, I have to prepare this company well! Here I have only one requirement. The establishment of this insurance company must strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations and be established in accordance with the "Company Law" issued by the Central Committee! The Central Committee allows Dongxing Company to participate in the shares. This is the first time that foreign investment is opened in the insurance industry in China. To be cautious, this company is led by the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and foreign-invested shares must not be higher than 35%! I mean, you will find a few more state-owned enterprises to participate in this insurance company, reduce risks, and plan carefully, so that state-owned assets cannot be lost!"

Liu Yong, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, nodded and said: "We plan to find a few more large state-owned enterprises and strictly follow the relevant laws and company laws of foreign-invested joint-stock companies issued by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the central government. Please rest assured Secretary Chen!"

Chen Xitong nodded and said, "When you find a cooperative enterprise, take the joint venture draft to me, and I will personally review it!" (To be continued...)
