Tang Guoqiang was already waiting for Tang Fei to come over in the office.

"Minister Tang. ”

As soon as he knocked on the door and came in, Tang Fei took the initiative to say hello. At this moment, Tang Fei is in a very good mood, if he is not mistaken, Tang Guoqiang will negotiate with himself on behalf of the military about the "Xianglong" large UAV.

The first aircraft of this drone was produced last year, which caused a lot of waves around the world and became famous.

It first carried out a series of verification test flights at the airport of Jiuzhou UAV Company for two or three months, and then carried out transfer test flights to many military airports, and its performance was very good in the test flight process, winning high praise from the military.

At many high-level meetings of the military, many important leaders have mentioned this drone many times. The military also hopes to install this drone as soon as possible.

It's so brilliant and so advanced!

The military has it, which is equivalent to having clairvoyance, even if it is tens of thousands of kilometers away, everything cannot escape the sharp eyes of the "Xianglong" large UAV.

Seeing Tang Fei come in, Tang Guoqiang was very enthusiastic, and immediately got up and said, "Mr. Tang, come over so soon, hard work, hurry, please take a seat." ”

Warmly greeted Tang Fei to sit down on the sofa, and Zhang Ping, who came in with him, was also quick-eyed, and immediately made Tang Fei a cup of hot tea, and then gently retreated, and closed the door of the office gently, he knew that Minister Tang and Tang Fei had something to discuss about the "Xianglong" large UAV.

Tang Guoqiang walked over and sat down on the sofa next to Tang Fei, with only a small coffee table between the two.

"Mr. Tang, you have worked behalf of the military, I thank you, the test flight of the 'Xianglong' large UAV at our military airport is very good......"

He first expressed his gratitude on behalf of the military, and also highly praised the outstanding performance of the "Xianglong" large UAV, and then said in a correct tone.

"This is a very good large drone, our military needs it, entrusted by the relevant leaders, on behalf of the military, I will talk to you about the ordering of this drone......"

Tang Guoqiang did not beat around the bush, but said straight to the point that the purpose of calling Tang Fei over this time was to talk to Tang Fei about the ordering of the "Xianglong" large UAV.

Hearing this, Tang Fei was happy in his heart, and he didn't expect it badly.

After so much hard work, from the beginning of the development of the system, to the production and manufacturing of various parts, to the assembly of the whole machine, to the current series of test flights, which lasted more than two years, finally achieved positive results, and the "Xianglong" large UAV is about to usher in its first military order.

Tang Fei was deeply proud in his heart, and he was also very happy for the "Xianglong" large UAV, and he almost said, great, we finally have a military order!

"Minister Tang, on behalf of Jiuzhou UAV Company, I would like to express a position that welcomes the military to order the 'Xianglong' large UAV, and we will produce these UAVs as soon as possible and deliver them to the military with the best quality. ”

"Okay!" Tang Guoqiang praised: "With your attitude, I am very relieved." ”

The two are relatively familiar with each other and have a good relationship, and soon entered into specific details negotiations. Tang Guoqiang also clearly told Tang Fei that the military will order a total of 24 "Xianglong" large UAVs, including 6 sets of ground control systems, as well as more than 100 ground operators and a group of daily maintenance personnel entrusted training.

The "Xianglong" large UAV is a remotely controlled aircraft, and all flight actions are controlled by ground personnel through the ground control system.

The military originally had two sets of ground control systems, which were donated by Jiuzhou UAV Company free of charge, but two sets of ground control systems were definitely far from enough.

Order another 6 sets, a total of 8 sets of ground control systems, distributed in various airports or bases of the military, which can control this UAV very well.

A total of 24 "Xianglong" large UAVs require a lot of ground operators and a group of maintenance personnel to carry out daily maintenance of the UAV.

As the development unit of the "Xianglong" large UAV, Jiuzhou UAV Company is definitely the most professional in the ground operation of UAVs and the daily maintenance of UAVs.

Tang Fei agreed: "Minister Tang, there is no problem with this, we will train this batch of personnel, in addition, when will the 24 'Xianglong' drones be delivered?"

Tang Guoqiang said tentatively: "Within three years, can you produce all of them, if not, we will deliver three or five planes in the first year, and the follow-up will be delivered slowly." ”

He knows that as a large UAV with advanced comprehensive performance and high technical content, it may face a series of problems when it enters mass production and manufacturing at first glance, and the bottom line in his heart is that he hopes that Jiuzhou UAV Company can deliver a total of 24 "Xianglong" large UAVs in about three or four years.

Let's talk tentatively about three years first, if Tang Fei feels more difficult, he will relax the time to four years.

Where did you think about it, Tang Fei smiled, and his whole body also exuded a strong confidence.

The whole set of technical data of the "Xianglong" large UAV comes from the system, Tang Fei knows that these technical data are very scientific and reasonable, and there will be no major problems in the future production and manufacturing process, and it will be relatively smooth.

In addition, it has a BUFF of production efficiency +2, and under the influence of this aura, the production efficiency of Jiuzhou UAV Company must be relatively high.

Tang Fei looked at Tang Guoqiang and said confidently: "Minister Tang, in less than three years, after the contract is signed, we will be able to complete the delivery of a total of 24 'Xianglong' large UAVs within two years." ”

"Really, great!"

Tang Guoqiang's heart is extremely strong, and he usually does not show joy on his face, but this time he rarely showed obvious surprise.

"Mr. Tang, you are so powerful, you have greatly exceeded our expectations, and we have completed the delivery of all 24 'Xianglong' large UAVs within two years, which we did not expect at all......"

He had a high praise.

Then, the two sides began to enter into specific price negotiations.

In the face of Tang Guoqiang's inquiry, Tang Fei's face was straight, and he said very seriously: "Minister Tang, the 'Xianglong' UAV is a large UAV, and the external dimensions are still above the 'Global Hawk' large UAV in the United States, and the comprehensive performance is no worse than the 'Global Hawk'......"

The United States' "Global Hawk" large UAV, Tang Guoqiang naturally knows better, and even knows the cost of that UAV.

The Chinese military has investigated clearly, and the cost of the "Global Hawk" is as high as 220 million US dollars, and many people will be secretly shocked by such a high cost.

It's too expensive!

It's just a golden bump.

Many high-level officials of the Chinese military are more worried about the cost of the "Xianglong" large UAV, although Jiuzhou UAV Company has never announced the cost of this UAV, but many high-level military officials speculate that the cost is estimated to be basically the same as the "Global Hawk" of the United States.

It is precisely because of its high cost that the military has temporarily ordered 24 "Xianglong" large UAVs instead of 36 or 48 after careful consideration.

It is precisely because the cost is too high that even the US military, which has deep pockets, will only be equipped with more than 40 "Global Hawk" UAVs in the next ten years.

If the cost of the "Xianglong" large UAV is as high as that of the "Global Hawk", the military considers that after ordering these 24 aircraft, it is estimated that the number of orders will be relatively small in the future, and a few more will be ordered one after another, at most more than ten as a supplement.

Tang Fei saw obvious worry in Tang Guoqiang's eyes, and knew that Minister Tang was worried about the cost of the "Xianglong" large drone.

What is the cost of the "Xianglong" large UAV?

It's a large drone with very good performance, and it certainly won't be cheap to build, that's for sure. But it is nowhere near as terrifying as the Americans' Global Hawk drones.

The whole set of technology of this UAV comes from the system, in the design and development, the system fully considers the manufacturing cost, and the cost of "Xianglong" large UAV is much lower than that of "Global Hawk".

In addition, the excellent management of Jiuzhou UAV Company, coupled with the influence of Tang Fei's own BUFF, the cost of the "Xianglong" large UAV is far less expensive than the military imagined.

Tang Fei smiled lightly and said: "Minister Tang, don't worry too much, although the cost of our 'Xianglong' large drone is high, it has not yet reached the terrifying level of the 'Global Eagle'. ”

"Oh. After Tang Guoqiang reacted, he immediately said: "Then tell me quickly, what is the cost of our 'Xianglong' large UAV." ”

Tang Fei thought for a while and said, "Its cost should be about 100 million US dollars, and in order to ensure our profits, its price to the military should be about 120 million US dollars." ”

In fact, its cost is not $100 million at all, but Tang Fei didn't dare to say too low, otherwise it would be a little abnormal.

Hearing such a cost, Tang Guoqiang's face immediately showed obvious satisfaction, and his expression was a lot more relaxed, and there was basically no worry.

Originally, their prediction was that the cost of the "Xianglong" large UAV should be about 200 million US dollars, but where do you think, people only have half, and the cost is only 100 million US dollars.

Of course, the cost of $100 million is certainly not cheap, but as an advanced large drone, this cost is definitely not high.

The cost is so low, and all 24 UAVs can be delivered within two years, Tang Guoqiang's heart is completely happy.

He and Tang Fei quickly negotiated all the details, got up and looked at the time and said, "Oops, it's past 12 o'clock, time flies so fast." ”

Tang Fei said: "Minister Tang, why don't I have a treat, let's go to the neighborhood for a light meal." ”

Tang Guoqiang simply said: "No, I'll invite you for this meal." ”

At his insistence, Tang Fei also took advantage of the trend.

Tang Guoqiang took Tang Fei, followed by Zhang Ping and Xu Guangming, and the four of them went to the military's hotel together, asked for a private room, and had a lunch there.

In the afternoon, Tang Fei was free to do so.

In the afternoon, Tang Guoqiang will report to the senior military leaders, and if there are no problems, tomorrow morning, Tang Guoqiang will sign a formal order contract with Tang Fei on behalf of the military.

Today's two watches, the first one is sent!

Our "God-level Industrial Master" will be completed before the Chinese New Year, and these days are basically dominated by two watches.
