Chapter 394: Commercial Applications
"Commercial?" Su Hua's eyes lit up, "Sister Zhang, you said that this kind of drone can be commercialized?"
The relationship between Yu Xiaohui and Ning Mo's family is also chaotic enough. Yu Xiaohui called Ning Mo Uncle Fat, and even called Zhang Beibei a fat aunt, Zhang Beibei felt awkward at first, but later found out that Yu Xiaohui called her on purpose, so she didn't bother to bother with her.
Su Hua followed Yu Xiaohui to call Ning Mo a fat uncle, and Zhang Beibei was called Sister Zhang, after all, Zhang Beibei was a few years older than them, and she called her aunt by mouth, and added the word "fat" as a prefix in front of her, which was easy to collapse.
As for the next generation, Ning Yiming calls Yu Xiaohui sister and Su Hua uncle, which makes it unclear what kind of generation this group of people is.
Su Hua has been inspired by Tang Zifeng since his third year of high school, and has been in contact with business in the electronics market over the years. He doesn't like to be a simple code farmer, but wants to achieve a career in the mall like Tang Zifeng, but he has never found the right direction.
On weekdays, Su Hua will also discuss business issues with Yu Xiaohui, but Yu Xiaohui's mind is all about technology, and Su Hua's whimsical ideas are inconsequential in her opinion, and the two can't discuss it at all.
Zhang Beibei has helped Ning Mo take care of the business of the repair shop in the past few years, and in a place with a strong business atmosphere like Jingnan, she already has some businessman temperament, and Su Hua and her can just find a common language.
"I heard you say that this kind of drone is used to take pictures abroad?" asked Zhang Beibei.
Su Hua nodded and said: "Yes, foreign armies are now using this kind of drone to do battlefield reconnaissance, especially for those countries with weak military strength, even if they hang above their army to take pictures, the other party is helpless." ”
"So, can it be used to shoot weddings?" Zhang Beibei continued.
"Filming a wedding?" Su Hua was stunned for a moment, and said unconvinced: "Can you...... , there's nothing special about weddings, it's just, do weddings need aerial photography?"
"Absolutely. Zhang Beibei said, "You don't know, there are more ways to get married here in Jingnan, and the usual wedding photos are no longer enough. Please take a helicopter, it is more than 10,000 at a time, in fact, it is to take a few videos and add some photos.
"I've seen videos taken by some people, shaky, and the photos can't be seen clearly, anyway, it's just a meaning, and no one cares about the quality of the picture or anything like that. ”
"It's just a lot of money and a bun. Ning Mo said disdainfully.
When he married Zhang Beibei, it was not popular to take luxury wedding photos on Dongye's side, so they casually found a photographer with two knives to take a few casual photos. In the past few years in Jingnan, Zhang Beibei has seen a lot of wedding photos of newlyweds, and also witnessed the scene of helicopter aerial photography, and has nagged him in his ear no less than 100 times when she comes back, and has repeatedly wanted to pull him to make up the photo, which makes him annoyed. Now that he heard Zhang Beibei mentioning this again, he naturally wanted to crack down.
"You know a fart, you know how to eat!" Zhang Beibei scolded Ning Mo angrily, turned her head again, and continued to say to Su Hua with great interest: "Now everyone has money, and when they get married, life is a one-time thing, and everyone is willing to spend some money." If your drone can replace a helicopter for aerial photography, I think the price of taking a shot will definitely be much cheaper than hiring a helicopter, and everyone is willing to accept it. ”
"Fat aunt, do you mean that every family will buy a drone to take pictures when they get married?" asked Yu Xiaohui.
Zhang Beibei shook her head and said, "Of course not, I mean, the wedding company will buy it." Buying a drone, even if it is more than 10,000 yuan, you can earn it back after a few shots. If you can provide this kind of service, but if others can't, you'll be competitive, right?
Su Hua asked: "Sister Zhang, I don't know much about this industry, how many wedding companies can there be in a prefecture-level city like Heling?"
"There are already more than a dozen. Zhang Beibei said.
"In other words, Heling alone can sell more than a dozen drones?" Yu Xiaohui asked.
Zhang Beibei said: "Maybe it's more than that. You think, a wedding company sometimes has to hold several weddings at the same time, such as National Day, or an auspicious day like August 8, and there are many people getting married. Can a company not have several drones ready to take pictures at the same time?"
Yu Xiaohui raised the bar and said: "But not all those who get married have to use drones." ”
Su Hua said: "Xiaohui, you don't understand this. This kind of luxury consumption is the most particular about comparison, if other people get married and use drones, you don't use them, you feel that you are compared to others. Just like we sell computers in the market, professional users choose accessories according to their own needs, and general non-professional home users only buy expensive ones, not the right ones.
"One of the things they often say is that my colleague's computer at home uses a so-and-so graphics card, and you give me this too. ”
"Profiteer!" Yu Xiaohui commented with a smile, but she also knew that Su Hua's feeling was right, something like this, she had heard Tang Zifeng talk about it in the past.
"In addition to getting married, you can use it in other places, right?" Ning Mo also began to express his opinion. He was originally a person who liked to join in the fun, and others chatted hotly, so how could he not interject.
"I have some buddies who like to go out on road trips and take a lot of pictures everywhere they go. I've heard them say that some places have so good scenery that they can't wait to get a helicopter and fly it into the sky. Ning Mo said.
"I've really thought about it. Su Hua said, "Actually, when I first designed this kind of drone, I thought it could be used to shoot scenic films." For this, I spent a lot of effort on the stability system of the aircraft, not blowing it by me, using a drone like mine to take pictures, there will definitely not be the kind of rickety feeling that Sister Zhang said. In a normal breeze environment, a drone like mine hangs in the sky, which is more stable than on the ground. ”
"You just blow it, how can it be more stable than putting it on the ground?" Yu Xiaohui said.
Su Hua smiled awkwardly: "Commercial publicity, it's a little exaggerated." However, the flight balance system I engaged in is indeed the first in the world, and I have applied for a patent, so you don't know it. ”
"You have copied the idea of the dynamic balance of our machine tools, I haven't asked you for creative fees. Yu Xiaohui said with a smile.
"My bank card is in your bag, do you still need to ask me for a charge?" Su Hua said.
Seeing Ning Mo and the two of them throwing teasing glances at them, Yu Xiaohui said embarrassedly: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm afraid that he will lose three or four, so I helped him collect these things." This Suhua has always been a dog raising Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people. ”
"But ......" Su Hua pulled back to the original topic, "Now the cost of drones is too high, and one is more than 10,000 yuan." Buying a good camera, that is, at this price, the average photography enthusiast is reluctant to buy it unless he is financially very wealthy. ”
"I said Su Hua, are you too dark-hearted. Ning Mo said, "I don't think there are many things in this plane, how can the cost alone be calculated to be more than 10,000 yuan? More than 10,000 yuan is enough to buy a machine tool, which is a thing weighing one or two tons, and iron alone is worth thousands of yuan." ”
Su Hua sighed: "Fat uncle, it's really not that my heart is black. The drones are all precision parts, and you see this cantilever is a hollow design, just to reduce weight. Just machining these delicate parts costs a lot of money. ”
"Mass-production. Ning Mo said, "If you have a large output, get a few special machine tools, and then precision parts, all the processing can be completed in one clamping, and the cost will not come down?"
"Didn't I think there would be such a large output?" Su Hua explained embarrassedly. has a girlfriend who studies machine tools, and Suhua naturally understands that mass production can reduce costs.
If some parts are processed with ordinary machine tools, lathes, milling machines, grinding machines, and drilling machines need to be clamped many times, and different tools need to be changed, and the consumption of man-hours is innumerable. But if it is mass production, you can ask the machine tool factory to design a special machine tool, the machine tool will automatically replace different tools, the operator only needs to carry out a clamping, input the processing program, and the product can be automatically processed, thereby saving a lot of labor costs.
Suhua did not expect that this drone could be used commercially, so it did not think that it would need to be mass-produced. Now chatting with Zhang Beibei, I found that there is really a potential market, which can be said to be promising. If sales can increase and production batches will increase, you can consider using a dedicated machine.
Once there is a special machine tool, the cost of the product will decrease, and more demand will be stimulated, which is called a virtuous circle.
In the process of designing this toy drone for Ning Yiming, Su Hua had many new inventions, and he applied for patents for each of them. This means that if he wants to build a drone, the patent barrier alone is enough to exclude many competitors from the circle. The absence of competitors means that he can earn high profits.
A drone earns 2,000 yuan, and a Heling City can sell 50 units, which is a full profit of 100,000 yuan. There are 300 prefecture-level cities in the country, and there are 30 million profits. Considering the foreign market, as well as photography enthusiasts, and other application scenarios that are currently unexpected, wouldn't the profits of this business be hundreds of millions?
Could it be that this kind of drone developed as a toy will be a business opportunity that he is striving for?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yu Xiaohui, wanting to share this feeling of excitement with his girlfriend.
Yu Xiaohui was also looking at Su Hua, and when her eyes met, she felt the heat in Su Hua's eyes. This kind of fiery gaze, she hadn't seen it in Su Hua's eyes for a long time.
"Su Hua, do you really want to make a drone?"
"Do you think it's possible, Xiaohui?"
"I think, are you asking Uncle Tang for advice?"
"I ......"
Su Hua hesitated suddenly.
