Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bright Drones

Two days are fleeting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With a pair of shallow dark circles under his eyes, Sun Cheng fiddled with the two cardboard boxes in front of him with great interest.

"Sun Dong, what do you think, are you still satisfied with this thing?"

Sitting across from him was a young man who looked to be in his thirties, and according to the business card he handed him, his surname was He Dan Yiping, and he was the marketing manager of a well-known local 'Bright Light Model Toy Company'.

"I'll open it and take a look!" Sun Cheng didn't rush to answer the other party, in fact, he was very clear about the other party's intentions.

The model market has always been a niche market in Daming, and in the early years, it was not bad to sell knockoffs by copying the works of foreign counterparts.

Later, the victim came to the door to sue a few leaders, the transformation of the transformation, the self-organization of the design team, and the domestic model aircraft market, which is the same thing, and the high-end can not compete with overseas counterparts, so they can only sell low-end products.

As a local, Sun Cheng still knows that this company, which has now switched to selling children's toys, was really prosperous when he was a child.

All kinds of model planes of First and Second World Wars flying in the sky, models of tanks and armored vehicles running on the ground, and even models of warships that they even swim in the water are sold.

Sun Cheng still remembers that when he was a child, he had a friend from a wealthy family, and his favorite thing to do every weekend was to invite them out and show off his remote-controlled Iowa battleship in the park fountain near his home.

However, just because it was too happy to jump to the ground that year, and later foreign model aircraft giants held high legal weapons to crack down on competitors when they entered the Ming Dynasty, Yaoguang was also the first to bear the brunt of the defendant very miserably, as if he was sentenced to lose a sum of money, and then I heard that I also formed a design team to take root in the model aircraft market, but then somehow I went to engage in children's toys.

Although the market is huge, but children's toys are not easy to do, such as Daming, a country with developed light industry, a swarm into the children's toy market upstream manufacturers are not 10,000 but also 5,000, in order to compete for the market, we fight the quality of advertising, fight the creative price.

As a result, when he wanted to find a foundry for the 'drone' he designed some time ago, he found that the light in his childhood memory was still incomparably tall, and at this time it had disappeared from the public enterprises and was in decline.

No, he just asked people to come to the door to ask for OEM, and slightly released that if this cooperation is successful, he may give the other party an order of at least one million in the future.

As a result, Yaoguang not only completed the order one day earlier than he imagined, but also personally sent the marketing manager to deliver the goods to him.

"Of course, you're light!"

Obviously, He Ping knew very well that the customer was God, and after seeing him start to unpack and inspect the goods, he sat quietly and waited for him to inspect the goods.

Sun Cheng smiled at him and nodded, showing that he had taken a box and felt the feel, and silently scored it in his heart, "The design of the box is vague, it seems that they also think it's just a toy!" ”

However, when the box was opened, revealing a bunch of drone parts inside, Sun Cheng's eyes couldn't help but light up.

I have to admit that as a toy company with a veteran model aircraft transformation, Yaoguang has the technology and experience in OEM.

Like the drone designed by Liu Qiangjun, Sun Cheng designed this set of drones, the main body is also made of ordinary engineering plastics, only eight propellers are made of fiberglass, although it is only a semi-finished product, but Yaoguang has also polished the surface of the drone, which looks different.

Moreover, in the process of production, the other party strictly followed his requirements, reserved the location for the installation of memory cards inside the drone, and he also specially checked the position of the lower abdomen of the drone, and sure enough, the external equipment interface, the other party also set aside it as required.

On the assembly by hand, he also moved a little, but he found that the movement of 4 arms, 8 propellers and 2 tripods is not very sensitive, which needs to be strengthened.

Try the joystick again, it feels a little rough to the touch, and it feels a little heavier than he expected.

After installing the battery, Sun Cheng turned on the machine and tried the flight state, and it felt okay, although he only flew for a few tens of seconds, he didn't find anything abnormal.

Soon I opened another one and checked it carefully, and found that basically the other party was rushing according to his own design, although the flexibility of the joints needed to be strengthened, but in general, Sun Cheng was quite satisfied.

He smiled and nodded, "The product is basically satisfied, but there are a few minor problems." First, the design of the joints is not flexible enough, and it is very difficult to fold. Second, I hope you will straighten out the internal circuit, just now in the installation of the battery and the main control chip, I looked at the space you reserved, although it is enough, but it is also very reluctant, I hope it can be improved later. Thirdly, the flight flexibility doesn't feel like it's enough......"

He carefully picked out a few more faults, and He Ping took out his pen and notebook and wrote them down one by one.

The other party's attitude made Sun Cheng very satisfied, and after speaking, he only paused slightly, and continued: "Follow-up cooperation, I think we can continue." However, I still have two questions, the first is the cost, after removing the chip and battery, what is the production cost of your Yaoguang? ”

"Sun Dong, you have to be more sophisticated here, counting all together, the cost is about two thousand, but if it is produced on a large scale, it will definitely be reduced!"

There is too much water in this statement, and the chips and batteries used in the drone he designed are all provided by himself.

The main control chip is Snapdragon S3, which is built into the operating system he is developing according to the laboratory, and he has been working day and night in the past few days.

On the battery, he purchased the lithium battery from the domestic battery production giant - Juneng , and 4500 mAh is barely enough to make the drone fly.

He provided the two most expensive main parts, and how high the cost of a bunch of cheap ordinary engineering plastics and FRP plus wires, screws and circuit boards was?

However, Sun Cheng only frowned slightly, the other party's meaning was nothing more than a sky-high asking price, which could be pressed down.

After a little mental calculation, he soon had a number.

If the cost of the body can be controlled below 1,500, then counting the cost of the Snapdragon S3 chip, battery and supporting charger that he intends to use, and then counting the external camera and photography equipment, it is estimated that it will be close to 35,000 or 4,000.

Undoubtedly, this price is much higher than Liu Qiangjun's set of drones.

But every advancement in science and technology is made with money.

In comparison, his drone is foldable, easy to carry, has a stronger endurance, and is lighter in weight.

Sun Cheng pondered for a moment before he said, "The cost is too high, and you have to press it down again." So I have a second question, how are you going to cooperate with us? ”

Now that it is determined that Yaoguang's OEM is not bad, although he has not considered how to promote the drone and whether it can be sold, Sun Cheng still asked this question very confidently.

How is Yaoguang going to cooperate with him?

He Ping was stunned, he remembered that when the other party sent someone to contact him to order a sample, he had mentioned that he would cooperate with him and give Yaoguang a big order of no less than one million if he was satisfied.

Otherwise, he, the future boss of Yaoguang, would not have come over to run this trip in person.

That's right, Yaoguang Model Toys Company is He Ping's family business, and the current owner and general manager of the company is his father.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he still decided to figure out what the other party meant first, "Sun Dong, what do you mean?" ”

Seeing that he didn't understand the hidden meaning of his words, Sun Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and replied very bluntly: "We are going to place a large number of orders for drones and bring them to the market in the future, so I would like to know how you Yaoguang is going to cooperate with us?" If you just want to be our foundry, we place an order, and you produce, then I need to send someone to carefully inspect your Yaoguang's production workshop and capabilities, and then let people go over and sign an agreement with you, and the OEM price and your profit will be discussed clearly before signing the contract. And if you don't just plan to OEM for us, then we have something else to talk about, drone production and design patents, brand names and licensing, more financial support and equipment updates, all of which will help Yaoguang to be reborn......"

He said it so clearly, if He Ping still didn't understand, he would have lived in vain for so many years.

As soon as Sun Cheng's words fell, he saw that his face was a little sluggish and puzzled at first, and then he looked at him with a suspicious face, and then at the drone on the table in front of the two.

After a long time, He Ping hesitated and asked him: "Sun Dong, what do you mean, you want to invest in our Yaoguang?" ”

It's no wonder that he would be so strange, if it was put aside ten years ago when Yaoguang was at its most beautiful, looking at the domestic high-imitation model aircraft, it could really rank in the top three, if someone wanted to invest in Yaoguang at that time, it could still be said that the channel was reasonable.

But with the entry of foreign model aircraft giants into the Ming Dynasty, after a far-reaching lawsuit, Yaoguang lost money and lost people, and then wanted to continue to take root in the model aircraft market, but the competition could not be compared with foreign giants, nor could the coastal enterprises.

In recent years, after the transformation of toy production, it is even more half-dead hanging, profits are naturally there, after all, Daming is a country with a population of more than one billion, and a steady stream of babies are born every year to determine the breadth of the toy market, but the competition is too fierce, and the profits are not as good as a year.

Until now, Yaoguang has not been like this, and it is not surprising that He Ping was surprised that someone suddenly took the product and said that he wanted to invest in them.

"Indeed!"

Finger tapped the drone on the table in front of him, Sun Cheng looked aggressive: "Although our products are still lacking, they are very good, and I am very optimistic about the future prospects of drones." So, you don't have to rush to answer my questions, help me convey it to your boss, I am waiting for your reply! ”

Although he understood that the other party didn't know his identity, He Ping really couldn't make a decision on this matter.

So after a moment of silence, he nodded in response, "Okay then, I'll report to the above......"

After agreeing, He Ping looked at the 'toy' on the table in front of him with a puzzled face, and after hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't help but ask again: "Sun Dong, this thing is more expensive than ordinary model airplanes, the cost is so high, and there is no historical background of those hot-selling model airplanes on the market, will anyone really buy it?" ”

"How do you know if you don't try?"

After answering as if he was not asking, Sun Cheng looked at the drone on the table with a smile, "In the future, no one can say!" ”

Half an hour later, holding two drones, he got into the taxi back to the apartment, put the box aside, Sun Cheng leaned on the back seat, quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and said into the microphone: "Suona, open the address book, dial the phone number of 'Lin Rong'......"

The screen flashed, and soon a phone call interface popped up, and the contact was Lin Rong!
