Chapter 352: Technology is the most valuable
Knowing the origin of the matter and the stakes involved, Chen Weidong thought about it and said:
"Minister Cen, how many planes do you want? But let me tell you first, the one you see in front of you is an improved drone, which is the same model as the one used in the Middle East, which can withstand strong electronic countermeasures and is not afraid of signal interference. ”
"Of course, the price is certainly not cheap, after all, the researchers in several of our laboratories have put a lot of effort into it, if you really want it.... Two million one! ”
"Two... Million..... Dollar?! Everyone's eyes lit up.
Many people are desperately plucking their ears to see if they have heard it wrong.
People in the United States, General Atomics Technologies, make a Predator, and sell it to the US military for 15 million US dollars, and the performance of this drone of Infinity is so strong that it only costs 2 million US dollars?
Such a cheap price made the people in the assembly department can't believe that they have picked it up!
Several of the accompanying officers looked like they were ready to move, and they were eager to sign the contract immediately.
Director Zhang couldn't hold it back, hurriedly held them down, and said, "Wait, Xiao Chen, I remember that most of the parts of your drone are processed by automated equipment, is the cost still so high?" ”
As one of the very few people who can be unimpeded in the Infinity company's park, Director Zhang can be said to be the outsider who knows the most about Infinity, and he usually knows exactly what new projects are in the laboratory and how many assembly lines have been added.
What's more, a plane of two million US dollars, according to the current foreign exchange rate of 8.6, is equivalent to more than 17 million yuan!
Such a drone is piled up with money!
They can't afford it themselves!
"Ahem, Director Zhang, Ah Wei is talking about two million yuan, you all misunderstood, our automation equipment is very perfect, how can it be possible to make a drone at a cost of millions of dollars, this is not in line with our company's consistent style....."
"What's more, we don't make drones to make money, but in the material laboratory, there happened to be suitable materials, so we extended the use by the way, and then took it to the Middle East battlefield to try it, but I didn't expect the effect to be good."
"Since you are in need, we have thought about it and decided to use the money earned in the Middle East to subsidize the loss of selling to you, which can be regarded as two strokes."
Lin Zeju's words are model.
However, everyone understands that although the upper parts of this drone use automation equipment, the manufacturing cost also needs more than 3 million yuan, and now it is sold to them for only 2 million yuan.
He doesn't earn a cent of the money he earned from Saddam, and he plans to subsidize it all!
Those who heard his words were moved.
What a good entrepreneur, what a loss he has made in order to help the country!
Those who were initially dissatisfied with the Infinity Company's sale of such advanced equipment to the Yin Lak people can't say a word now.
Is such a huge sacrifice something that others can do?
Minister Cen didn't say anything, held Lin Zeju's hand tightly, and then said: "A family in the mainland of Xiangjiang, originally, it is not allowed for you to sell materials that can be used for military purposes in private!" ”
"However, we know your intentions, so we won't criticize you, as for the quantity we buy, we will make overall arrangements according to your price and after reporting to the above!"
"What's not allowed, it's illegal at all!" Chen Weidong thought silently in his heart, but still said: "Minister Cen, I know that this is not right, but as a patriotic young man, I am anxious to see that our equipment is not good!" Thank you, uncles, for understanding our difficulties! ”
A staff officer suddenly quipped: "Your technical strength is so strong, why don't you help us get more high-tech equipment, we can win orders for you to sell abroad, so that we can achieve the benefits of both sides, what do you think?" ”
"Ahh This...."Chen Weidong's eyes widened and his mouth stammered.
Why is this still coming!
If we really have to pass through your hands, we won't even be able to drink soup, wouldn't it be a big loss!
....
In the afternoon of the same day, several representatives of Infinity and the final assembly signed a series of cooperation plans.
The General Assembly Department initially decided to order 300 improved UAVs first.
After that, adjustments will be made according to the requirements of the Saudi side.
One of the most important points in the contract is that Infinity needs to make some changes to the shape and livery of the Peregrine Falcon 2 drone to avoid being found to be too similar to the drone used by Yin Jun.
Even in all aspects of performance, it has to be done poorly, and then slowly upgraded, and it can be sold at a higher price.
Even the name of the drone was changed to "Falcon" by the General Assembly Department.
And, privately, they will inform Saudi representatives that this is a "copycat" of the "Peregrine Falcon-2" drone.
In this way, many unnecessary incidents can be avoided.
Chen Weidong and Lin Zeju couldn't laugh or cry, they didn't expect that one day they would need to copy their own products, and they would also help others OEM, but despite this, they still issued these key requirements to the drone project team.
It is worth mentioning here.
Chen Weidong and them, through a series of operations, sold the drone to Saddam, and after throwing away various costs, they also made a net profit of more than a billion US dollars.
30% of this was taken out and given back to the project staff.
More than 70 researchers were involved in the entire drone project, as well as some processing plants outside the company, as well as operators who helped process certain parts.
These people, who have directly or indirectly participated in this project, have all received a very considerable bonus without exception.
The most are tens of millions, and the least is hundreds of thousands.
In this era, it is already a huge amount of money.
Of course, the amount of each person's bonus is divided according to their contribution to the project and the value of creating benefits, and there is a set of very rigorous calculation methods, which are evaluated by the professionals of the academic committee in the most detail.
Such a fair and just reward mechanism has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of researchers.
Because of a project, researchers who get rich directly abound.
The era of "engaging in scientific research, the income is not as high as the income from selling tea and eggs" is gone.
These related deeds, after being reported by some news media, have inspired countless young people to work hard and devote themselves to great scientific research after graduation.
And the infinity company has also become the yearning of countless people.
