"Wow, this place is really big, but there are no office facilities." One of the four people shouted happily as soon as they entered the company.
"This is not a problem. Then we will buy some second-hand desks and chairs. We have thirty employees. Even if each person's salary is three thousand, that is nearly one hundred thousand a month. There is also the research and production of aircraft, two million It’s not enough for us to last long.” The oldest man among the four had a sad look on his face.
"I think we should try to attract more investment." Someone else spoke.
"It is not a good thing to attract so much investment. When capital comes in, investors may put forward many conditions, which is actually not conducive to our development. Besides, the investors the school has found for us so far are all laymen. They don’t understand our work at all, and some even say it’s just a toy model.” The man with glasses shook his head.
"A toy, isn't it?" Another person chuckled. He felt that others were right. For now, their product is a small helicopter, which is used for people to play with.
So far, the company has actually produced quite a few units of its products, but has only sold 300 units, which is considered a loss and has been passed on to grandma's family.
"I think there's something wrong with the previous idea." The man with glasses added.
"What's the problem? Isn't the stability very good? I even went to Mount Everest for a test flight before. It can withstand strong winds and the aircraft speed is not slow. The only drawback is that it consumes too much power."
"No, have you noticed that our aircraft is too big. It is not convenient to carry when going out, and another problem is safety. With the hardness of the propeller, if the aircraft falls and hits someone, it will rotate at high speed. The paddle can easily cut off the user's head."
"Aren't these all designed according to helicopters?"
"..."
The four people had a heated discussion about the aircraft.
"Single-wing propellers have too many disadvantages. Compared with bi-wing or multi-wing designs, single-wing propellers require higher rotational speeds to provide the same thrust, which means higher energy consumption and faster battery consumption, which limits aircraft The endurance and practicality of the aircraft are affected by the unbalanced lift and torque generated by the single-wing propeller, which can easily cause the aircraft to yaw or become unstable during flight, especially when flying in complex environments. Zooming in increases operational difficulty and security risks
From the perspective of market acceptance, as consumers increasingly demand drone performance, single-function entertainment drones are no longer able to meet market demand. What needs to be considered is how to combine advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine vision, etc., to develop products with more application scenarios, higher safety standards and longer battery life. ”
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded. None of the four people paid attention. They just continued the discussion and said: "Well, that makes sense. Machine vision... So how can we improve it in the future?"
"Of course it should be changed to four wings." The voice continued.
"Four wings? What a weird design this is."
"The lift generated by the four propellers of a four-wing drone can form a more balanced moment distribution. According to Newton's third law, the reaction force generated by each propeller is opposite to the direction of rotation. The four-wing layout makes these reaction forces in three dimensions. Balanced in space, reducing flight instability caused by moment imbalance
When a monoplane drone rotates at high speed, due to the gyroscopic effect (conservation of angular momentum of a rotating object), its resistance to external disturbances is weak and can easily lead to yaw. The four-wing drone can effectively suppress the gyroscopic effect and improve flight stability by adjusting the rotation speed of each propeller.
In terms of operation, the four-wing drone can achieve precise control of six degrees of freedom by independently controlling the rotational speed of the four propellers. This multi-degree-of-freedom control enables the four-wing UAV to flexibly adjust its flight attitude in complex environments and complete more complex flight missions.
The UAV is designed with four wings, so that it is smaller and has a lower speed than a single-wing UAV, thereby reducing air resistance and improving flight efficiency. According to the principles of fluid mechanics, reducing wind resistance helps reduce energy consumption and extend flight time.
There is also an important benefit, that is, the production cost of four-wing drones is lower than that of single-wing drones..." The voices behind the four people spoke faster and faster.
"Who the hell are you!" At this moment, someone realized that the person speaking was not one of the four of them.
"Hello, my name is Chen Xi, a model aircraft enthusiast." The man reached out and shook hands with them.
"How did you find this place? We just rented this place and haven't announced it to the public yet." The man with glasses looked at the strange young man suspiciously.
"Now is the information age. As long as you have money, it is easy to find someone. Let's not talk about it for now. I am here to talk about a business with you."
"Oh? What do you want to talk about?" The man with glasses put down the pen and paper in his hand.
"I just heard that you are unclear about the commercial uses of the products you make. I have already thought about this for you. When it comes to making drones in China, you are a relatively late starter. Several other companies have already Drones have been used in business, but their products still have many shortcomings compared with yours..." Chen Xi spoke slowly.
In his previous life, he had also sought cooperation with other drone companies for his own projects. Companies like Xiaojiang had not yet developed at that time, so naturally they were not in Chen Xi's eyes.
Several companies he was looking for at that time were also from Guangdong Province, one of which was called Jinwan Yuren Agricultural Airlines.
This is a company focused on the research, development, production and sales of agricultural drones. Its products include multi-rotor plant protection drones, agricultural drones, etc., which are widely used in fields such as crop pesticide spraying, assisted pollination for hybrid rice seed production, and crop information survey.
There is also a high-tech new agricultural technology company in Shenzhen. Their agricultural drones also started much earlier than Xiaojiang.
However, compared with Xiaojiang, these two companies have no growth potential in the later period. Their products have not been updated for many years, and their after-sales service is mediocre.
Among the four people in front of me, the man with glasses who kept talking was the only one who really understood technology and was the most effective in speaking. If you want to cooperate with them, you still have to start from what he is interested in, otherwise Chen Xi wouldn't be talking about it here.
As for the four-wing drone concept, it was not developed by Xiaojiang, but developed by a foreign university. Xiaojiang also learned from that model at the time, but now Chen Xi has brought the four-wing concept in advance.
"I still need to discuss this matter with the professors at the school. Xiaojiang is not decided by the four of us. Since the establishment of the company, HK University of Science and Technology has provided us with a lot of funds and talents..." Chatted with Chen Xi After a while, Wang Rentao, the man with glasses who took the lead, said cautiously.
Chen Xi also nodded. Behind these people were two university professors who kept helping them. Whether you accept it or not, the investment still needs the nod of others.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Now you have to help me build an agricultural drone and mass-produce it within two years. The drone has the four wings I just mentioned, and it must be able to lift at least fifty kilograms. Object..."
"Fifty kilograms? How is this possible?" Everyone exclaimed when they heard Chen Xi's request.
"What is impossible? The two companies I just mentioned have already made it, but they are not four-winged. Agricultural drones require a large load capacity, otherwise how can they spray pesticides? Your current drones The human-machine is too small, and agricultural drones are generally very large. You can refer to the products of your peers." Chen Xi blinked, meaning that he didn't understand and could learn from them. As for the drones of the two companies that can lift fifty kilograms of things, that's all nonsense.
"But not many people buy agricultural drones. It seems that we are focusing on this..." Someone asked again.
"Don't worry about this. I have projects that will use a large number of agricultural drones. And I can also use my own way to sell Xiaojiang's products around the world!"
"What, the whole world?" Several people became even more excited after hearing this. You know, their products are almost unknown now.
"Then how much do you plan to invest? We just received an investment of two million." The eldest among the four people puffed up his chest.
"I'll give you 20 million first!" Feeling as if these people had never seen the world, Chen Xi stretched out two fingers. "What, twenty million?"
The eyes of the four people were as big as copper bells.
"Welcome, welcome, my sponsor dad." After the older man reacted, regardless of whether the other three people agreed or not, he immediately took Chen Xi's hand and shook it wildly, fearing that the other party would regret it.
It’s no wonder that they reacted so loudly. Since Xiaojiang was established, it has not attracted a few investments in total. The largest one is two million from HK University of Science and Technology.
The main reason is that investors feel that their research has no commercial value. Not only the investors, but also the four of them are a little confused.
Although there are many drone companies on the market, their backgrounds are all a certain aerospace group. In fact, no one cares about the civilian products of these companies. From the perspective of the entire industry, it is extremely bleak.
Chen Xi still remembered that in his previous life, he went to two other companies to purchase drones. The company boss's expression was confused at first, and then shocked, as if he had met the God of Wealth.
At that time, domestic agricultural production was still relatively backward. Not to mention the use of drones to spread pesticides, even a harvester was not widely available.
To be honest, in terms of research direction alone, investing 20 million is a bit too much.
But Xiaojiang now has thirty people, some of whom are fresh graduates. The reason why they were assigned to this company was entirely because they were introduced by a university.

For the sake of the teacher, even though the four of them were not doing well now, they tightened their belts and accepted them all.
In order to maintain the company's current stability, Chen Xi thought about it and invested a large sum of money in it.
In his previous life, he didn't know that this small broken company would grow into a towering tree. Otherwise, he would have started other projects and invested all his money in it.
Looking at Wang Rentao's somewhat confused eyes, Chen Xi patted him on the shoulder and asked: "What else do you think drones can do besides agriculture?"
"What else can we do?" Wang Rentao was a little at a loss. With the current development of drones, he really didn't know what he could do. But he had other thoughts in his mind, which were things that every boy would have fantasized about. At that time, many boys had watched "Star Wars" and they were all very interested in the advanced future technologies in it. .
Naturally, drone operations have been thought about for a long time, but with current technology, these things are simply impossible to achieve.
"Think about it, if you make a drone small and light, and install weapons on it, it will be the same as the aircraft in Star Wars on the battlefield. And those robot dogs, have you ever thought about it, if you put the drone on What will happen if humans and machines combine? ”
Chen Xi's words reached everyone's ears, and everyone thought of a scene.
Each robot, with a four-winged aircraft attached to its head, flew overwhelmingly toward the enemy.
Immediately afterwards, the aircraft and robot separated, aerial fire cover, and the rapid assault of ground troops made the scene exciting.
"I understand, I understand!" Wang Rentao patted his head as if inspired.
"Don't worry, let's start with the reconnaissance aircraft. If you want to do some things, you need the approval from the superiors. Let's talk about the overseas market of the product first. For this kind of thing, users from all over the world regard it as New toys. Then we will develop into toys and make them more sci-fi. Foreigners are very fond of this. Let’s build the brand’s reputation first, and I will help you with this..." Chen Xi had already unknowingly done this. Put yourself into the role of the boss and start formulating future strategic plans for the company.
In fact, Chen Xi had lamented before that large investment companies like theirs and very small projects like Xiaojiang were not even qualified to send plans to his mailbox. He didn't know how many potential technologies he missed before. company.
It is estimated that he is not the only investor who has regretted it, and many famous investment tycoons have not paid attention to such a small company.
In China, most bosses will focus on some super large projects. All they think about is how to install things and turn them into tools for making big money, but they have never considered some real technology companies. Because the investment environment in the Mainland is not very good, investing in a company with technological attributes is often a thankless task, and the money invested will probably not be recouped.
There is a joke that the end of technology is lending. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this statement. Sometimes it’s not that investors don’t want to do other things, but that lending is more cost-effective.
The system and ethos are there, and there is nothing we can do about it.
Some things are similar to football. No matter how big an owner you are, some things cannot be changed if you want to.
Yin Anwei, who had been listening silently, finally understood what Chen Xi was going to do.
He had been interested in model airplanes since he was a child, and he also participated in the discussion meeting with several people.
"I think it's better to sell this thing to the Middle East after it's made. Aren't they fighting wars there every day? Give them some high technology and try the quality of the product." Yin Anwei was brave for the first time, and the idea he proposed was also wild.
"Do you still want to be an arms dealer? The products we produce must be positive. Drones should not be offensive in any way before leaving the factory. However, it is none of our business how customers modify them." Chen Xi modified seriously He heard Yin Anwei's words.
"Yes, yes, Brother Xi, you would say, positive energy, must be positive energy." Hearing this, Yin Anwei nodded desperately in agreement.
"I have another question. If you can lift more than 50 kilograms of cargo, the drone must be very large, which is not convenient to carry." Wang Rentaosi raised the previous question again.
"You don't have to worry about this. Not all drones have to be carried in a box. We can completely change the mode." Chen Xi smiled.
"You mean to build a warehouse, and then open the warehouse door every time you work, making it an airport mode?" Wang Rentao thought about the problem in a different way.
"No, no, no, there are a lot of farmlands. How can we arrange a drone for you in every place? Isn't that a waste of resources?" Chen Xi stretched out his hand and shook it.
"What should we do?"
"It's very simple. We can completely learn from the aircraft carrier model, use cars instead of aircraft carriers, and put drones on the specially designed top of the car, so that they can run around. And the work vehicles can be charged, so we can achieve the current short-range operation Problem! We rely on drone aircraft carriers for plant protection, which is completely in line with commercial value, and it will be a new project..."
"Damn it, you are such a genius." Everyone couldn't help but praise him after hearing this.
In fact, this model had already been used by Chen Xi in his previous life. It was very advanced at the time and was in the news and received praise from above. Chen Xi calls this model a ‘land aircraft carrier’.
For this reason, the company was also called the star of reform in the future of domestic agriculture, but the good times did not last long... (End of chapter)
