Chapter 102 Calling a Deer a Horse, Ten Thousand Relatives

"Mr. Gazzari, this is just normal business cooperation."

"You buy, I sell, and we agree on a price. At most, we might add some ordinary business terms, but there aren't any of the other harsh conditions you might be imagining."

Looking at Gazali, who had just been shouting that he was a passionate aerial photography enthusiast but was now somewhat terrified, Zhang Fangxu couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

"Let's sit down and talk while we eat."

Zhang Fangxu carried his tray to a seat, then gestured for Gazzali to sit opposite him. He picked up a shrimp dumpling, took a couple of bites, and said with a smile, "Let me first tell you the prices of the three drones. Have someone write them down."

"Mr. Zhang, please speak."

Gazzali carefully took a sip of water, a fine layer of sweat appearing on his forehead. He then gestured to his assistant to take out a piece of paper and write down the price.

As a representative who has participated in many arms sales, Ghazali is well aware that the arms market is an absolute seller's market.

Aside from the relatively common situation where you can't necessarily buy something just because you want to, there are more often than not situations where you have to buy something even if you don't want to.

Although Zhang Fangxu has consistently emphasized that it is a commercial and business cooperation, not an arms sales transaction.

But this can only serve as a pretext, used to shut people up when necessary. Everyone knows the real situation.

"In Daxia City, an automatic following drone costs 9000 yuan, a remote-controlled drone costs 4 yuan, a high-end fiber optic version costs 6 yuan, and a large intelligent collaborative drone, excluding collaborative mode, costs only 1000 million yuan."

Zhang Fangxu quoted a price that was relatively low compared to military sales.

This price was determined by a think tank's analysis and calculations, taking into account the situation in various regions where US bases are located around the world.

After all, if the price is too high.

Many impoverished regions oppressed by the US may not be able to afford it, and the biggest strategic plan hidden behind the open drone exercises and arms sales cannot be realized.

In this way, the first two methods should yield a profit of about 30 to 40 times. If the crackdown is effective, we can simply help plant some more in the desert.

As for swarm drones, these are high-end products, outside the reach of ordinary, impoverished fighting people. They also pose significant operational challenges for them, making them difficult to operate even if purchased. Therefore, the price can be set higher.

After all, the hardware cost alone is 10,000 yuan, and the accompanying swarm system is priceless.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Lin Dong only took a week to make this thing.

However, in the previous life, the research and development costs for this system in China amounted to more than 10 billion yuan, so it certainly couldn't be sold cheaply.

"So cheap?"

Gazzari opened his eyes wide and quickly did some mental calculations.

Such an automatic following drone costs just over a thousand US dollars.

This price is at least ten times different from the price he initially analyzed and predicted, if not dozens of times.

In his experience, if this price were quoted by Americans, it would start at least at $15,000.

"Mr. Gazali, our Xingdong Company is in the business of the long term. A steady, long-term approach is more sustainable than making a huge profit all at once."

Zhang Fangxu finished eating a mouthful of rice noodles and said calmly, "As for the collaborative mode of the large-scale intelligent collaborative aerial photography drone, it's a fixed price of 10 billion for 10 sets, each set can support 200 drones in collaboration, and it's permanently activated."

"Mr. Zhang, are there any other conditions for this collaborative mode?" Gazali asked cautiously, his water glass trembling slightly.

"Mr. Gazzali is fine with the price; there are no other conditions."

Zhang Fangxu smiled and said, "As long as the foundation of our cooperation remains intact, this deal will continue to be based on these terms."

What's wrong?

Could it be that Mr. Gazzali is used to doing business with others under special conditions—and is finding it a little strange to do business without them today?

Gazali's expression changed, but he knew he couldn't respond to that, so he could only raise his water glass and offer a toast in the form of tea instead of wine.

"Mr. Zhang, your kindness and generosity are truly admirable."

As a representative in the sale of camels to the desert, outsiders see him with a piece of cloth on his head, yet he is the richest man in the world.

But only he himself knows the frustrations and humiliations he has experienced over the years of purchasing various weapons from major powers.

For a more basic approach, when purchasing equipment, you have to buy the corresponding engineer as well. The equipment cannot be damaged or disassembled privately, and the repair costs are outrageously high.

This is understandable, since these are classified technologies, and they are easily leaked if they are damaged or disassembled.

In a more demanding scenario, you might buy the equipment, but not the right to use it; you'd have to apply in advance every time you turn it on or use it.

This is acceptable, after all, some equipment is just too powerful and too sensitive, and sellers are worried about what you might do after buying it.

What's truly disgusting is that you pay first, and I'll create a PowerPoint presentation and sell it to you—

"Wait, Mr. Gazali."

Zhang Fangxu stopped Gazali from offering water and said seriously, "You and I both know that this aerial drone is quite sensitive."

To prevent bulk purchases for military purposes, we require registration by name. Each registered individual can only purchase three aircraft per year.

"With real-name registration required, and only three aircraft allowed per year?"

Gazali was stunned, and his previously joyful expression faded somewhat.

"Yes, after all, we are also afraid of being smeared as an arms company, so we have to add such restrictions."

Zhang Fangxu nodded, put down his chopsticks, pointed at Gazali, and said with a smile, "For example, Mr. Omar, you can buy three planes a year just by registering your name."

If you want to buy more, you can only register in the name of your relatives and use their quota to buy more.

"Wait! Mr. Zhang, I—"

Upon hearing Zhang Fangxu's address, Ghazali was momentarily taken aback and instinctively replied, "My name is Ghazali, which is a deer with auspicious connotations in our camel culture, not Omar!"

and many more?

However, the words had barely left his mouth.

As Gazali looked at Zhang Fangxu's unchanging smile, a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

"Yes, yes, I misremembered, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang!"

Ghazali suddenly stood up and said seriously, "My name is Omar, and Ghazali is my cousin."

I have 100,000 relatives who also love aerial photography. Can we buy this drone together?

"Of course, Xingdong Company helps everyone who loves aerial photography realize their dream."

Zhang Fangxu nodded and said with a smile, "However, Mr. Omar, you need to send us the list of your relatives first. We'll record it in our files, then verify the order quantity, submit the deposit, and then we'll ship the goods according to the production cycle. It will take about two months for 10 units."

"no problem!"

Mr. Omar, having just received the calculated slip of paper from his assistant, glanced at it and said seriously: "15 automatic following aerial photography drones, 10 remote-controlled aerial photography drones, 2000 large intelligent collaborative aerial photography drones, plus 10 billion Xia coins to activate the collaborative mode —"

We will not use a deposit. The full payment of US$41.5 billion and the purchase list will be sent to Xingdong Company tonight.

"Mr. Omar is generous."

Zhang Fangxu stood up, extended his hand in a friendly manner, and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Mr. Omar extended both hands and shook hands with Zhang Fangxu: "Thank you for your help today, Mr. Zhang. We won't bother you any longer."

talking.

Mr. Omar performed a respectful greeting with the desert representatives and rose to leave the guesthouse's first-floor restaurant.

"Mr. Wang."

Zhang Fangxu watched the desert delegation leave, picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and looked at the DJI staff member who was with him.

"For the order of 252,000, we need to expedite the production process. As before, we only need to produce the hardware, and Xingdong Company will be responsible for completing the system."

"Mr. Zhang."

Mr. Wang stared blankly at the departing desert delegation, his expression somewhat bewildered: "At this price, and with full payment upfront, are we selling drones or weapons?"

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Mr. Wang still dared not admit or believe it.

"Drone".

Zhang Fangxu said calmly, "DJI manufactures the drone hardware and sells it to me. I add the drone aerial photography system and then sell it to foreign friends. I even limit each person to three drones. How is that selling weapons? —Are weapons sold this cheaply?"
