I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 174: Sihai UAV is a big hit, Shunfeng requests to develop unmanned transport aircraft

After reading the announcement released by Sihai Intelligence, netizens were overjoyed.

"Haha... Boss Yang was forced to become a military industry boss?"

"Who would have thought that it was the drones sold by Boss Yang that changed the situation on the battlefield."

"Boss Yang, since they have determined that you are a military-industrial enterprise and your reputation has spread, why not just do as they wish and slightly modify your civilian drones so that they can shine on the battlefield."

"Where can I buy a Sihai drone? I want to buy the same model as the battlefield one and try it out. I can't throw bombs, but I can throw cans for fun."

……

In today's era, as long as you have fame, business will be very easy to do. This is why many internet celebrities and stars have joined the live streaming e-commerce industry.

In terms of fame, Yang Chen is more famous than superstars.

In terms of popularity, Sihai drones are now on the hot search list of major domestic social platforms.

All the basic conditions are in place, so just get started.

Sihai Intelligence's Douyin account posted a video introducing the 100 drone models launched by Sihai Intelligence, and also announced that the sales will go live at 8 o'clock tonight.

Yang Chen had nothing to do, so the first live broadcast tonight would be conducted by him, Huang Wei, the president of Sihai Intelligence, and secretary Chen Xi.

Chen Xi served as the host, and Yang Chen and Huang Wei participated as guests, mainly answering questions from netizens and sharing some interesting stories about Sihai UAV.

The live broadcast started on time at 8pm.

This was Yang Chen's first official live broadcast. Coupled with the huge gimmick of civilian drones being used on the battlefield, this live broadcast had a large number of viewers, and it exceeded 10 million viewers after only minutes of broadcasting.

There are definitely very few real sellers among these people, and the vast majority are just here to watch the fun and have some fun.

Chen Xi: "Netizens asked Mr. Yang what he felt about suddenly becoming a military industry tycoon."

Yang Chen smiled and said, “How dare I think about this? If the foreigners give me a slap in the face, I won’t be able to do business. I still want to make it clear that our products are really for civilian use. If customers don’t use them to farm, then I can’t do anything about it. I’m just a private enterprise boss, I can’t put a gun to my customers’ heads and force them to farm.”

Chen Xi: "Netizens asked Mr. Yang if foreigners really sanctioned Sihai UAV because of this incident, or forced Mr. Yang to sell Sihai UAV technology patents. How does Mr. Yang plan to deal with it?"

Yang Chen smiled and replied: "I can choose not to do business with that country, but I will never sell my technology patents. A kitchen knife, if you use it to cut vegetables, it is a kitchen knife, but if you use it to kill people, it is a murder weapon. The kitchen knife is still the same kitchen knife, it depends on how people use it. If the technology is in my hands, it is civilian in nature. If the technology is in the hands of foreigners, it may not be civilian in nature. For the safety of people all over the world, technology must be in the hands of civilization. I am not a person who is willing to suffer losses. If someone really forces me, then I will short their stock market. Whoever does not let me be well, I will not let him be well either."

Chen Xi: "Netizens also asked whether President Yang would share the technology with the military?"

Yang Chen smiled and replied: "If the military needs it, I will naturally be happy to share it unconditionally. I just said that only when technology is in the hands of civilization can the safety of people all over the world be guaranteed. Our country loves peace, and if our military is strong, we can make some countries that do not love peace love peace like us. Therefore, as long as the military needs it, for the people of Dragon Country, for the people of the world, I will definitely do my best."

……

Yang Chen and Huang Wei answered hundreds of questions from netizens. When it was half past eleven, there were still more than 500 million viewers watching in the live broadcast room.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Yang and Mr. Huang have shared a lot with you tonight. It's getting late, and our live broadcast tonight is about to end. Before the end, I'll give you a few news. At 0:0, the official mall and APP of Sihai Smart will be launched simultaneously. You can search for Sihai Smart on the web or app store. In addition, our official flagship stores on online platforms such as Jingdong, Alicat, Taobaobei, Pinxixi, etc. will also be launched at 0:663. The Douyin showcase will also have the full range of Sihai drone products on sale at 8:8. Interested friends can take a look. Our direct stores in cities in the inland area will also open one after another from : tomorrow morning. After : tomorrow morning, you can search for the address of the direct stores in this city on AutoNavi Maps, Baidu Maps, etc. Interested friends can go to the direct stores to experience it. Well, our live broadcast tonight ends here. Thank you Mr. Yang and Mr. Huang for your company. Goodbye."

The live broadcast room was closed, and Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Live streaming is quite fun, I can try it out when I have time.

At this time, the news about the appearance of the Sihai UAV on the battlefield was also being hotly discussed on the foreign Internet.

The ones who are most upset are the Koreans, as the people of this country are naturally hostile to the Dragon Country.

In addition, the Sihai UAV is a product of Yang Chen’s company, and Yang Chen has just dealt with several chaebol groups in the Korean country, so the Koreans will naturally seize this opportunity to criticize Yang Chen.

Korean netizen Huang Dongcheng: Ah Xi, Yang Chen violated the rules by supporting Russian drones, and he must be severely punished. I hope our allies can get in touch and ban Sihai drones from entering our country. Our bodyguard Bald Eagle should come out to do something, and can't just take money without doing anything.

Korean netizen Li Chengyou: I particularly support what the compatriot said above. The Bald Eagle must stand up and lead our allies to sanction Yang Chen and Sihai Group. Not only Sihai drones cannot enter our countries, but all products of Sihai Group cannot enter our countries. Yang Chen is so arrogant, we must take this opportunity to teach him a lesson and let him know who has the final say in this world.

Sakura Country netizen Sakata Siyou: A big Jiang is enough to give us a headache, and now there is another Sihai. In the field of drones, Longguo is really the only one, and other countries can't beat them at all. I still remember the horror of one of their amateur drones flying to our warships and broadcasting live, but we didn't notice it. Yang Chen kept saying that Sihai drones are only for civilian use, but who can guarantee that the real purpose of drones is definitely civilian?
Bald Eagle netizen Jones James: I think the Sihai UAV will pose a threat to us. Yang Chen must hand over the technical patents of the Sihai UAV or sell Sihai Intelligence to us. If he doesn't obey, we will teach him a lesson.

Mohammed, a netizen from the Kingdom of Sand: Are you all bored? Yang Chen said that it was a civilian drone, used for sowing, fertilizing and spreading pesticides. After the customer bought it, he modified it to drop bombs. This is the customer's responsibility. What does Yang Chen have to do with it? According to what you said, Toyota, Honda, GM, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other car brands launched cars with the intention of providing convenience for everyone's travel, but someone drove a car and killed someone. Should the responsibility for the death be attributed to these car brands? You robbers have always been double-standard. You never have a fixed standard for doing things, and you don't distinguish between right and wrong. You only look at what is beneficial to you, and you say and do what you want.

Longguo netizen Li Sanpao: Thank you for the righteous words of the Dahujia netizen, which shows that there are still many reasonable people in this world, and not all of them are robbers. If the manufacturer has to bear the consequences of how the customer uses the product after selling it, then I would like to ask the car brands mentioned by the Dahu to first pay compensation to the people who died in various traffic accidents in our country over the years, and then we can talk about whether Yang Chen should be held responsible for the use of the Sihai drone on the battlefield.

……

Most of the netizens in Longguo treat the Sihai drone just to watch the fun. Many people don’t need it at all or are reluctant to buy it.

But foreign netizens have a different attitude towards the Sihai drone. They are really willing to buy it.

For example, the entry-level model of the Sihai UAV is priced at 499 Dragon Coins, which is only 70 Eagle Coins when converted. With a slight modification, it can carry 1-3 bombs weighing less than 5 kg. This drone has quickly become a hit overseas.

Since Sihai Intelligence does not accept military orders, overseas customers purchase products through legitimate private enterprises and then resell them to the military.

Yang Chen was watching the news when Huang Wei hurriedly came to his office.

Huang Wei handed the list in her hand to Yang Chen and said, "Director Yang, last night alone, 30 overseas companies sought to order our SH-Q01 model drone. This drone is the most common one on the battlefield. A rough estimate is that they intend to order 50 units. Should we sell them?"

Yang Chen quickly browsed through the customer information and asked, "Have you checked the nature of these companies?"

Huang Wei nodded and replied, "Much the same, they are all legitimate private companies, some are traders, some are agricultural companies, and some are drone dealers. Currently, there is no evidence that they have any connection with the military of various countries, but this does not mean that they will not use the drones they buy for military purposes."

“I have to do business now…” Yang Chen muttered softly.

If we really order 50 drones, and calculate based on the standard of 200 yuan net profit per drone, that would be 1 million yuan in net profit. There is no reason not to do it. Yang Chen thought about it for a while, and then replied: "Well, you communicate with these customers. In order to ensure that our drones are used for civil purposes, they need to sign a guarantee. But don't agree on any punitive measures, just require them to guarantee civil use. In addition, their company must be published on the latest customer database on our website, and this database will be cleared once a month."

Huang Wei nodded and immediately asked, "But if there are no punishment measures, what's the point of signing this guarantee? They will definitely be willing to sign it in order to buy our drones. We haven't agreed on any punishment measures, so they can use the drones for military purposes without any worries."

Yang Chen laughed loudly, and said: "This is the subtlety of this letter of guarantee. What the customer wants to use it for is their business. If the foreigners condemn us, we will show them the letter of guarantee. It's not that we don't restrict the customers, but the customers don't keep their promises. What can we do?"

Huang Wei understood what Yang Chen meant. This letter of guarantee was only used to appease countries like the Bald Eagle, and it was not necessary for it to really have a binding effect on customers.

Huang Wei smiled and said, "Boss Yang, I understand what you mean. I will personally supervise the salespersons to contact customers and communicate with them according to Boss Yang's instructions. Then yesterday's sales data is out, please take a look."

Sales of Sihai drones began at 0:24 yesterday, and a total of 15 were sold in 5.2 hours, of which 9.8 were sold in offline stores and were sold online.

This is mainly due to the popularity of the four-sea drone battlefield. Drone players in Longguo all want to experience what it feels like to use the same drone on the battlefield.

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Not bad, the data is not bad."

Huang Wei nodded and said, "In addition, we need to send express to customers after online sales. In order to provide customers with the best service, I plan to use SF Express. But Jingdong Logistics contacted me and they want to underwrite our online delivery business. After SF knew about it, they also wanted to underwrite our online delivery business separately. I'm a little unsure who to give it to. What do you think, Mr. Yang?"

The advantage of Jingdong Logistics is that it has warehouses throughout the major cities across the country. Sihai drones will first store the goods in these warehouses. Customers can place online orders and have the goods shipped directly to the nearest warehouse. The goods will usually be received the next day or even the same day.

SF Express follows the same model as traditional express delivery, requiring door-to-door pickup, but they have a strong air delivery service, and urban areas can usually be delivered the next day.

Yang Chen prefers Shunfeng because if he chooses Shunfeng, he doesn't need to stockpile goods, but if he chooses Jingdong, he needs to stockpile goods in Jingdong's warehouse, which adds an extra transportation and storage cost.

At this moment, Shunfeng's president Wang Weidong called Yang Chen personally.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Wang Weidong, the president of Shunfeng. It's a pleasure to talk to you." Wang Weidong said with a smile.

Yang Chen also said very politely: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm also very happy to talk to you."

"We would like to insure your Sihai drone online delivery business. I hope Mr. Yang can take care of us," said Wang Weidong with a smile.

Yang Chen’s principle of doing things is to take advantage of others when he can. He smiled and replied, “I understand what Boss Wang means, but Jingdong is an old partner of ours, they also want to… you see…”

Wang Weidong said quickly, "I know that Jingdong has won the agency rights for several of your star products. But we at Shunfeng have our advantages. We are fast and don't need to store goods in the warehouse. Our salesmen will come to your door to pick up the goods in person, so you don't have to pay extra transportation and storage costs. In addition, as long as Mr. Yang gives us the business, I will give Mr. Yang another cooperation."

Here it comes, here it comes, the benefits are coming.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Really? What kind of cooperation? Mr. Wang, tell me about it."

Wang Wendong said: "Artificial intelligence is developing too fast now. We have already used intelligent sorting robots here, which not only saves time but also saves costs. Our air cargo is mainly transported by our own aircraft or airline flights, but I still think the cost is too high. So I want to find a drone company to help us develop an ultra-large drone that can deliver goods. There are two main technical standards. The first is that the load capacity must exceed 1.2 tons, preferably 1.5 tons. The second is that the endurance must exceed 6000 kilometers, preferably 8000 kilometers. As long as these two requirements can be met, other details can be discussed slowly. If Mr. Yang entrusts the online delivery business to us, I will give this order to Sihai Intelligence. How about it?"

Yang Chen now possesses the manufacturing technology and processes for 100 types of drones. It is not difficult to develop an extra-large drone by integrating the technologies of these 100 types of drones.

Originally, Yang Chen wanted to hand over the shipping business to Shunfeng, and now Wang Weidong has sent such a big order, which is equivalent to getting an order for free, which is great.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "That's not difficult. However, with such a large load capacity and such a long range, the cost is not cheap. Mr. Wang, are you sure you need this kind of drone?"

Wang Weidong laughed and said, "No matter how expensive it is, it can't be more expensive than a manned aircraft, right? If Director Yang is sure that it can be built, I will directly order 100 of them."

"Okay! Then the shipping business will be given to you!" Yang Chen said.

Wang Weidong laughed and said, "Thank you, Director Yang. Then we will leave our unmanned transport aircraft to Director Yang. I will send someone to Jiangcheng to sign the contract with you right away."

"Okay! I'll produce the design drawings and quotations as soon as possible. Mr. Wang can sign the contract only after he is satisfied with them." Yang Chen said.

The two bosses thus finalized their collaboration.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen immediately opened the design software to design the unmanned transport aircraft.

With a payload of 1.5 tons, the effective take-off weight must be more than 3 tons. With a range of 8000 kilometers, the flight time must be about 40 hours. The altitude does not need to be too high, 1 meters is enough...

Yang Chen was designing the technical parameters of the unmanned transport aircraft in his mind while designing the software.

For him, as long as the customer gives the requirements, he can easily design a drone that meets the requirements.

After 10 hours of continuous modification and improvement, Yang Chen finally finalized the drawings of the Shunfeng unmanned transport aircraft.

The total wingspan is 20 meters, the length is 10 meters, the height is 3.3 meters, the maximum take-off weight is 3.2 tons, the payload exceeds 1.5 tons, the maximum ceiling is 9500 meters, the cruising speed is greater than 300 kilometers per hour, the maximum climb rate exceeds 10 meters per second, and the endurance is more than 8000 kilometers.

This is the optimal combination obtained by Yang Chen based on the software calculations and his own calculations.

Moreover, the shape of this drone is different from that of small drones. It adopts a double-tailed scorpion shape. This asymmetric structure not only increases its stability, but also greatly improves its maneuverability, allowing it to fly flexibly in complex terrain.

The most commendable thing is that the cost of this drone will not be too high. According to Yang Chen's estimate, it should be between 200 million and 250 million.

Taking into account R&D costs and profits, it is reasonable to ask Shunfeng for 400 million per aircraft.

Wang Weidong should be secretly happy to buy an unmanned transport aircraft with a load capacity of 400 tons for 1.5 million yuan.

要知道顺风现在使用的波音飞机价格约2.5亿一架，载重量50吨可以飞行4000公里，如果载重量30吨可以飞行8000公里。

Roughly calculated by payload, the payload of 30 Scorpion drones is approximately equal to that of a Boeing aircraft, and the price of 30 Scorpion drones is 1.2 million yuan, which is half the price of a second-hand Boeing aircraft.

If Wang Weidong really orders 100 Twin-Tailed Scorpion UAVs at a time, Yang Chen can give him a better discount, so that he can save more money.

After Yang Chen figured it out, he called Wang Weidong.
