The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4812

Charlie Wade smiled and said, “Brother, if you don’t want a salary, what about your wife and kids in the United States?”

Lang Hongjun replied firmly, “It’s nothing… As a person, you must show gratitude. If it weren’t for you, my wife and kids would think I was missing. They would worry and search everywhere for me. Eventually, they might hear I was killed from the police, and that would break their hearts.”

Lang Hongjun looked at Charlie Wade, struggling to hold back tears. “You saved my life. Because of you, my family won’t suffer from the pain of my tragic death. This is the best outcome for them. As for life’s challenges, I believe they can manage. It might just mean working a little harder!”

Charlie Wade felt moved by Lang Hongjun’s strong words and determination.

After a moment, he called Wan Pojun over and said, “Pojun, Lang Hongjun is an expert in communications. I think Wan Longdian could really use someone like him, so he should come with you back to the Middle East.”

Wan Pojun smiled and replied, “That’s fantastic! Wanlong Palace is looking to invest more in communications, and we really need someone to help us plan our infrastructure and future projects!”

Charlie Wade agreed, “Absolutely! I think Wanlong Palace could even look into creating its own communication satellites with companies in the field. Then we can go commercial.”

A satellite launch company is going to create its own satellite communication system. Wanlong needs secure internal communication, and relying on other companies makes it hard to ensure complete security. Building their own network will enhance their security significantly.

Charlie Wade added, “I remember that both private individuals and companies can now launch their own satellites.”

“That’s right,” said Lang Hongjun, who was listening closely. He nodded and explained, “The biggest challenges with launching satellites privately usually come down to money. First, there’s the cost of research and development for the satellite itself. Second, if Wanlongdian were to launch satellites directly, many countries might react sensitively. So, I suggest registering a private company in the United States or in a place like the Cayman Islands. Then, through this company, you can approach satellite research, launch services, and regulatory departments.”

Wan Pojun, who was nearby, quickly asked, “Mr. Lang, how much does it cost to launch a communication satellite?”

Lang Hongjun thought for a moment and replied, “If you only want to support global communication for Wanlong Palace and not provide services to the public, then the overall need is smaller. The satellite costs would be in the thousands of dollars, and the launch cost would be around $10,000. Currently, Elon Musk’s SpaceX charges about $5,000 per kilogram for launches, and a typical satellite costs about $2 million. If it’s for global communication, we can ensure that…”

“Twenty or thirty satellites? That sounds like a lot!” Wan Pojun exclaimed, unsure about the need for so many.

Lang Hongjun nodded in agreement. “It’s really not too many. Just look at Elon Musk’s Starlink. They have launched thousands of satellites already and plan to launch even more, aiming for a total of around 10,000. To achieve global communication, the more satellites you have, the better. With satellites in the sky at all times, we can cover almost every spot on Earth. More satellites mean more processing power and communication bandwidth. Musk develops and launches his satellites himself, which keeps costs down. He’s focused on commercial use, so his demand is high. On the other hand, Wanlong Palace will use its satellites internally, so our needs are much lower.”

Charlie Wade smiled brightly after hearing this. “You really know your stuff, brother! If that’s the case, let’s have you lead the project at Wanlong Palace. We should aim to build our own satellite communication network as quickly as possible!”
