Chapter 259: Wang Tao's Ambition
"Mr. Yang, if you are still dissatisfied, you can always tell me, Boeing will serve you wholeheartedly!"
Mr. Smith, Boeing's sales director for Greater China, accompanied Yang Lin around the plane and smiled.
Private jets are not Boeing's main business, and compared with commercial orders that cost tens of billions of dollars, Yang Lin's small orders are not worth mentioning at all, but Smith still gave Yang Lin a very high courtesy.
Not only because Yang Lin was the first super-rich person in China to buy such a tyrant plane, but more importantly, Yang Lin's influence today.
Nowadays, the rise of matrix digital has been irreversible, even if Yang Lin did not heed the call of the outside world and never let matrix digital go public, but a company that has enough profitability and has completed the strategic layout of the upstream and downstream industrial chain of mobile intelligent terminals, the future development prospects are bright.
And now there is news that Yang Lin has laid out the aviation industry, and having a good relationship with such a figure is only good for Smith, and there is no harm in it.
"The plane is very well decorated, I'm satisfied, trouble Mr. Smith."
Yang Lin smiled, and did not show a particularly excited look, he had experienced hundreds of flying machines in flight simulation games, from fighter jets, bombers, helicopters to civil airliners, this Boeing 747 was at best a little luxurious and atmospheric, and there was nothing special about him.
However, Lin Qingya and Yang Ying were more excited, looking here and there, living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, conference room, visiting the past, cashmere carpet. Velvet silk quilts, and even blackout blinds for portholes. will be judged by them.
In the end, although I was slightly dissatisfied with the decoration of this aircraft with the atmosphere of tyrants. However, the two girls did not say much in the end. The local tyrant is the local tyrant, but this is also a private flying palace worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Subsequently, Yang Lin and Huo Jinzhong signed a custody agreement for this luxury private jet, even if it is not used for a minute and a minute, the maintenance of this aircraft, airport parking and crew members' salaries and other expenses add up to more than 50 million yuan per year, if Yang Lin still has to take it around, the annual operating expenses are at least as high as 100 million.
Thanks to the profitability of Matrix Digital, otherwise the rich would really not be able to afford such an aircraft.
After returning from the airport, Yang Ying and Lin Qingya seemed to be still immersed in excitement, and the two girls had been chattering. Pick a destination for your post-wedding trip.
Yang Lin also knew that they didn't have the heart to go to work, so they simply drove home.
The next morning, Yang Lin met with Wang Tao, the founder and CEO of DJI, at Transwarp Technology Co., Ltd. as scheduled.
Wang Tao is only in his thirties, not much older than Yang Lin.
Although Transwarp Technology Co., Ltd. has mastered the absolute controlling stake in DJI, after the completion of the acquisition, Yang Lin did not interfere too much in the company's operation, and also respected Wang Tao, the second largest shareholder of the company, which made Wang Tao very satisfied.
So come over this time. In addition to introducing the development status of DJI to Yang Lin, Wang Tao also explained to Yang Lin his judgment and layout on the future development of commercial drones.
Yang Lin didn't have too many objections to this.
After all, Wang Tao entered the market when the civil drone industry was not yet opened, and achieved his current status. Naturally, it was also first-class, and Yang Lin trusted his judgment.
However, near the end of the meeting, Wang Tao suddenly put forward an opinion. But it made Yang Lin ponder.
"Mr. Yang, do you think it is possible for DJI to enter the military drone market?"
Yang couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "How did you think of entering the military market?" Does DJI have this technology? ”
Wang Tao smiled: "Mr. Yang." That's the case, isn't there a military reform brewing above? In the future, our army will definitely be equipped with individual tactical UAVs and target aircraft on a large scale. This kind of UAV is obviously suitable for our private enterprises to start, it is small in size, in high demand, and has high military and civilian versatility. Even for quadcopter UAVs, where maneuverability for target aircraft is insufficient, we can replace them with high-end octocopter UAVs. And an ordinary quadcopter drone can be used as a single tactical drone, which is very convenient, taking off and landing regardless of the terrain, does not require much space, is lightweight, reconnaissance and taking pictures are similar existing functions.?"
Yang Lin couldn't help but bow his head and ponder, at present, the PLA can take off and land vertically individual tactical UAVs are still in a blank state, and it was at that time that DJI entered this market.
As for DJI's strengths, that's not to mention.
First, because many of DJI's technologies are developed and matured on civilian drones, the R&D cost is relatively low.
Second, civilian drones usually have a larger output than military drones, and DJI's mass production capacity is stronger, which can fully meet the countless needs of two million PLA.
Third, the advantage of high maturity and mass production is that almost all possible problems are exposed in a timely manner, so as long as these problems are corrected in time, reliability can be greatly improved. The reliability of DJI drones is much higher than that of drones produced on a small scale by military enterprises.
Of course, there are no disadvantages.
The first is to enter the channel and public relations, it may not be difficult to enter, but to gain a firm foothold and occupy the market is another matter.
The military industry and the civilian industry are almost very different in this regard. Today's aviation industry is no longer the situation of free competition a hundred years ago, and the pattern of aviation giants has been basically formed, and those giants have obtained a large number of orders, which is a manifestation of strength and the favor of Lady Luck.
For example, Boeing benefited from World War II, and MiG benefited from the Korean War. Therefore, it takes an opportunity to be procured in large quantities, and now this opportunity is not necessarily war, but also disaster relief.
The second is the political cost.
Yang Lin can intervene in the military market by taking a stake in Feilong Airlines, but directly entering the military market through his own control of DJI Technology, the meaning is completely different.
Will this trigger a chain reaction at the top level, Yang Lin also needs to ask Old Man An for advice.
The third problem comes from technical barriers.
The biggest problem for military and civilian use lies in the communication frequency band and communication standard.
At this point, the communication equipment and chips of civilian UAVs are almost useless, because they are not a frequency band. At present, civilian communication frequency bands are greatly restricted, and there are only a handful of short-distance communication frequency bands that can be freely used without application.
Compared with mature technology, the price is cheap, and there are complete sets of civilian frequency bands from simulation to chips to circuits to solutions.
Although the military frequency band has a wide range and high frequency, there are also chips and devices that are expensive, large in size, and difficult to do.
If the military can accept the use of civilian frequency bands to communicate with those individual military drones, then it is okay.
However, if you want to use military frequency bands, you must also use frequency-hopping communications, broadband communications, etc. for electronic countermeasures. This again involves the issue of electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility......?
The above is only the communication part, what if the radar is added?
These will be a big challenge for a private enterprise that has not been involved in the military industry to enter the military industry. (To be continued.) )
