Chapter 1070 Laying out drones

Xia Chuan was drawing pictures in the study when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." He knew that the person who came to the study without an appointment or notice must be one of his own.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, France Gao came in, followed by Dong Mingzhu.

Xia Chuan did not get up and waved his hand: "Sit down. Are the funds in place?"

The agreement was that Ms. Gao's registered capital of 50 million would arrive in January, and it would be credited to Xia Chuan;

Ms. Gao’s registered capital was obtained by Xia Chuan.

This kind of beautiful thing usually happens to a family with blood ties.

Ms. Gao smiled brightly and said, "Of course, thank you."

She was very grateful. Xia Chuan gave her half a year to double her investment in the US stock market. The exchange reform saved a lot of money, which was equivalent to making 40% of Alibaba's shares in vain.

"Are you drawing a car?" Sister Dong picked up a car exterior design drawing, her eyes lit up, it was so beautiful.

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "I don't have any technical knowledge, and things like appearance are relatively simple. By the way, you don't want to make an electric car, do you?"

Dong Mingzhu said with a smile but not a smile:

"Are you too mean to me? Give others one billion, give me 50 million, I have to be able to compete with them even if I want to. Doesn't this mean I'm not even one-tenth as good as them?"

Xia Chuan secretly said that it was indeed the case, she dragged Ms. Gao here to invest.

"Sister Dong, I can trust you to manage all my assets, but it's not suitable for women to make cars. What else do you want to do?" He asked with a smile.

Dong Mingzhu was overjoyed immediately. She believed that Xia Chuan must have never told anyone else, otherwise those two men would really want it.

"I want you to invest an additional 900 million yuan. Everyone is on the same starting line."

Hahaha, Xia Chuan laughed: "Home appliances are a red ocean, you want me to add 900 million? Unless you are in high technology."

Dong Mingzhu said seriously: "With the funds, of course I will do high technology. If I don't occupy the commanding heights of technology and build a corporate moat, I will always struggle in the Red Sea. I am ready to get rid of the image of kitchen appliances and reposition Alibaba with our Relying on patented technology, we extend it to upstream and downstream industries, and then integrate a new product to create a perfect and tall brand to enhance our added value."

Xia Chuan asked interestingly: "What is this product?"

Dong Mingzhu said angrily: "Shouldn't you tell me this?"

Hahaha, Ms. Gao was turned upside down, and the admiration on her face instantly turned into a dumbfounding expression.

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "If I want to decide it for you, it will be very difficult. And there is an interest issue here. If you are not interested in something, you will not be able to do it well."

"You tell me first and let me listen. How do you know that I am only interested in home appliances?" Dong Mingzhu asked unconvinced.

"Okay. Do you like drones?" Xia Chuan asked.

Dong Mingzhu was stunned: "Civilian drone?"

"Of course. Can you think of anything to use it for?" Xia Chuan asked with a smile.

Dong Mingzhu thought quickly and said: "Aerial photography."

"Yes." Xia Chuan nodded, "This is a kind of advertising shooting, film and television shooting, wedding video shooting, and aerial photography for model aircraft enthusiasts. There is also a huge demand. I am talking about the world.

Other needs, such as power inspection, some transmission lines across valleys and rivers, how time-consuming and labor-intensive manual inspection is?

Drone inspections are not subject to height restrictions, are flexible in inspections, convenient for taking pictures, and have comprehensive angles. They are especially suitable for inspections of large-span power towers. This demand is highly leveraged. If you dare to do it, they will dare to buy it.

Another example is inspection of disaster areas. During earthquake relief, how can we know the full situation when no one can get in? Small drones can easily traverse and can also use infrared imagers to search for trapped people in the air.

Another example is wildlife protection, environmental monitoring, pesticide spraying, and express delivery—especially express delivery. How can we cover places that are inaccessible to traffic? Drones are a must.

What is even more difficult is communication drones, such as absorbing solar energy to supplement power and continuously sailing in low-Earth orbit for 5 years without landing. Using special equipment, high-altitude drones can provide network access services.

For more romantic needs, such as who you want to propose to, the drone will deliver the ring..."

Before he finished speaking, Sister Dong became angry and punched him first:

"I proposed to a man? And gave him a ring?"

Ms. Gao laughed.

Xia Chuan said seriously: "If a strong woman doesn't take the initiative, who would dare to propose to you? Let the media hype it up..."

"Go away! I don't need a man." Dong Mingzhu said brazenly.

"Okay, actually I hope you never get married. There are no two things in life. You see, if I give up my career to have a family, I am not a real entrepreneur. Real entrepreneurs give up their families and let their other half pay silently behind the scenes. .

So you can’t find a strong man, he won’t pay for you, you can only take the initiative and find a warm-hearted support man..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sister Dong slapped her again: "Shut up, I don't need a warm man! I want to be a drone!"

Ms. Gao laughed.

"Okay, let me draw you a design drawing of an aerial photography drone. Note that the most critical problem is not the remote control, but the problem of stability. The drone must be able to hover in the air without any shaking, otherwise The resulting footage is unreadable.”

Sister Dong nodded seriously: "This is a gap in the industry. Give me 900 million, and I will definitely dominate the global market."

Xia Chuan chuckled and said: "I will give you an interest-free loan of 900 million, with a term of ten years."

Ms. Gao's cheeks turned red, Xia Chuan was too kind to her.

She doesn’t have to take any money, her equity won’t be diluted, and the loan is interest-free, and the most terrifying thing is ten years!

Dong Mingzhu smiles like a flower. Although it is not an increase in capital, it has become tens of billions in ten years? What’s 900 million?

"Thank you, I won't let you down."

"Drones are more difficult than you think. You have to be mentally prepared. It only takes ten years to develop them."

"It's so hard. I went directly to the military to ask for drone technology and raised the starting point. Later, I surpassed their technology and shared it all. They also benefited. This is called a win-win situation."

Xia Chuan trembled and said with admiration on his face: "Sister Dong, I wish I had been born fifteen years earlier..."

Dong Mingzhu's cheeks flushed, but she smiled and said, "I would definitely give you a ring fifteen years earlier if you were born."

Ms. Gao laughed.

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "But civilian use and military use are two different things. I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"I understand, I'm not that naive, but at least the basic theory is useful. Do your best and obey fate. The accumulation of various efforts will become a huge advantage." Dong Mingzhu said resolutely.

Ms. Gao looked pleased, Dong Mingzhu was definitely a strong woman.

Xia Chuan stopped talking nonsense and started to draw a picture. What he drew was a quadcopter drone and he marked the dimensions.

Only then did Dong Mingzhu realize that it was very different from a military drone. It was more like an aviation model.
