Chapter 1404 Multi-rotor solution? It's really him

"Yes, it's you," Zhang Qihang said with a smile, as he felt the face looked familiar. "Just now I saw that you seemed to have something to say. It's okay, just say whatever you want to say. Maybe you can give us some inspiration or enlightenment."

Wang Tao was shocked. He didn't expect that Zhang Qihang, such a big shot, could be so kind and polite in his dealings with others, even to a nobody like him. Looking at the usual reactions of the people around him, it was obvious that everyone was accustomed to this situation!

Seeing that the young man in front of him, whose face looked more and more familiar, was still a little hesitant, Zhang Qihang encouraged him again: "It's okay, just say whatever you think. We are just chatting and arguing in private."

  As expected, Mr. Zhang has built Huateng Group into such a big company!

After I was admitted to university, I would rather repeat my senior year than not learn how to fly drones. Now it seems that my decision was the right one.

The reason why Wang Tao repeated his senior year after being admitted to university and applied to another university with a helicopter major was that he accidentally discovered Huateng Group’s drones during the work-study program he participated in after entering university for the first time. He instantly felt that drones were so interesting. What he didn’t expect was that this tiny drone could be used in so many ways. In addition to being used for filming movies and video commercials, it can also spray pesticides on farmland, kill insects in forests, provide assistance in aquaculture, and even make achievements in firefighting... It turns out that this tiny drone can do so many things!

At that moment, he felt that he had finally found the goal of his life. After discussing with his parents, he resolutely chose to repeat his studies in order to be able to enter the drone department of Huateng Group in the future.

With his passion for drone technology, after re-entering this key university in the north, he quickly showed his talent and was recognized by his teachers. What surprised him even more was that the teacher of his major in college was actually a specially appointed consultant for Huateng Group. The teacher saw that he was a good seedling and often took him with him when he was on business trips to Huateng Group. Later, after he finished his postgraduate studies, he personally accepted him as his graduate student.

This time I came to Huateng Group to do a project, and happened to meet Zhang Qihang at this time.

Wang Tao, who was very excited, suppressed his excitement and said, "Mr. Zhang, you should know that there are actually quite a number of model airplane enthusiasts and aerial photography enthusiasts among the people, right?"

  Ok?

Zhang Qihang was shocked: Could it really be him?

Zhang Qihang suppressed his surprise and nodded: "Yes, I do know this. Please continue... By the way, what's your name, young man?"

"Mr. Zhang, my name is Wang Tao."

  Right!

Really right!

This guy is actually Wang Tao!

Zhang Qihang didn’t know why this guy didn’t go to Gangcheng but came to his company instead. But it didn’t matter. What was important was that history took a turn here, and this guy Wang Tao actually appeared in Huateng Group!

Zhang Qihang suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "Xiao Wang, please continue."

“Yes,” Wang Tao responded, and then continued, “The scale of the model aircraft and aerial photography community is not small. I estimate that there should be hundreds of thousands of them across the country, and I am one of them. Sometimes when I chat with everyone in the forum, everyone laments that our group’s drones are good, but they are too expensive…”

Hearing Wang Tao complaining, the teacher beside him got a little anxious and pushed him gently: "Xiao Wang, don't talk nonsense. Our group's drones are already the cheapest among the same performance..." "Professor Wu, what I want to hear is this kind of voice from the bottom. Xiao Wang is willing to tell me the voices of the aerial photography enthusiasts and model aircraft enthusiasts at the bottom. I am so happy that I can't wait. You can't stop him from speaking." Zhang Qihang smiled and waved his hand, signaling Professor Wu not to worry, then turned to Wang Tao and nodded: "Xiao Wang, go on."

Wang Tao subconsciously looked at his teacher.

Professor Wu encouraged: "If Mr. Zhang asks you to speak, just speak. Don't hold back."

With his teacher's words, Wang Tao was completely relieved: "Mr. Zhang, this is it, everyone thinks that Huateng Group's drones are good, but there are three problems:

  One is that it is difficult to control, and it is relatively difficult to learn and use;

The second is that the price is too high and people cannot afford it;

As for the third question, it is actually caused by the first question. The performance of our Huateng Group's drones is actually very excessive for everyone. If we reduce some of the performance and lower the cost and price, I think our Huateng Group's drones should be able to achieve greater sales among these two groups in China."

"That's it..."

Zhang Qihang smiled and said, "It seems that you, Xiao Wang, have indeed studied our products carefully and thought deeply about these problems. Do you think there are any better solutions to these three problems, Xiao Wang?"

At this moment, Zhang Qihang developed a strong interest in the future "King of Drones" and was curious whether he had already formed a general development idea for consumer-grade drones.

"Yes, I have indeed thought about these issues." At this moment, Wang Tao's face was full of a strong expression, which seemed confident to Zhang Qihang but arrogant to others. "In terms of control, Mr. Zhang, do you know anything about multi-rotor aircraft? I think multi-rotor aircraft is the best solution to the control problem."

When Wang Tao mentioned the multi-rotor solution, many people around him subconsciously showed disdain and contempt on their faces.

Aerodynamic solutions for rotorcraft with multi-rotor structures have always existed. The most typical multi-rotor aircraft is the famous American "Chinook" CH-47. The reason why the multi-rotor solution has not become popular is that compared with the traditional "main rotor + tail rotor" solution, the overall efficiency is actually relatively low, and the aerodynamic interference between the rotors is also quite severe.

When Huateng Group was developing drones, it did test multi-rotor solutions, but the final result was that the flight control was troublesome and complicated to control, so it finally returned to the traditional "main rotor + tail rotor" solution. Now Wang Tao has actually brought up the multi-rotor solution again, which instantly made everyone have a very bad impression of Wang Tao. They think that this guy is just a big talker who wants to show off in front of Mr. Zhang with his extraordinary remarks and hopes to rise to the top. He is not down-to-earth at all.
