Chapter 1441 Plateau type drone?

Richard Horn had been holding it in for a few days. Seeing that Huateng Group and Zhang Qihang did not seem to be in a hurry at all and had no intention of urging him, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked his assistant, "Danny, why is Zhang not in a hurry at all? This is an opportunity to export cars to Europe."

Regarding the meeting with Huateng Group, Secretary Danny was even more confident than his boss at the beginning. He had the same idea as Richard Horn. He felt that although Huateng Group was indeed very strong, if it was an English company, Horn would have no choice but to kneel down. But after all, Huateng Industrial Group was a Chinese company.

Faced with such an opportunity to export cars to Europe, Huateng Industrial Group had to beg Horn Company.

However, Danny was a little unsure about Huateng Industrial Group's attitude in the past few days. When he heard his boss asking him for advice, Danny's heart trembled. The instinct of a worker to shirk responsibility made him not want to get involved in this matter, so he quickly said, "Boss, I think there are only two possibilities."

"Oh? Which two?"

"The first possibility is that he really doesn't care, and because he doesn't care, he's not in a hurry; the second possibility is that he doesn't value the British market as much as we think."

"..."

  Richard Horn frowned and thought, is that so?

After thinking about it carefully, Richard Horn had to admit that what Danny said made sense. Realizing this possibility, Richard Horn frowned even more, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It makes sense... But why? John and others told me that the Chinese take export very seriously, and sometimes they would rather lose money to make this deal. Why is Huateng Group different?"

Danny knew the John his boss was talking about. He was a good friend of his boss and also an importer of bathroom equipment. Almost all the bathroom equipment sold by John's company were imported from China.

After thinking about it, he reminded his boss: "But boss, are Mr. John's partners in Huaxia qualified to compare with Huateng Group?"

Richard Horn was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up: Yes! Yes! I made a mistake in this matter!

  Danny was right. What kind of strength do John's Chinese partners have? It is estimated that there are only a few companies with annual sales of more than 1 million pounds, but what kind of strength does Huateng Industrial Group have? Whether it is production or sales, it can be ranked in the top ten in the global automotive industry!

Comparing John's partner with Huateng Industrial Group, isn't that crazy?

"Thank you, Danny. Your reminder is very timely and helps me a lot." Richard Horn, feeling very grateful, patted Danny on the shoulder. "No, I have to talk to Mr. Zhang as soon as possible. I can't delay any longer... Danny, please help me contact Mr. Zhang..."

"Boss, don't worry," Danny hurriedly stopped his boss. "I'll help you contact Mr. Zhang, but can you first think about what you want to talk to Mr. Zhang about and how to talk about it?"

Richard Horn was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Yes, we must talk, but how and what to talk about are things that we really need to think about carefully.

....................................

When Richard Horn was thinking about how to talk to Zhang Qihang, Professor Wu and his beloved student found Zhang Qihang. Looking at Professor Wu with a happy face and Wang Tao and Li Dong behind him, Zhang Qihang smiled and said, "Professor Wu, you look so happy. What's up? Have Xiao Wang and his team made any progress on their project?"

Professor Wu's face was flushed with joy. "Haha... Xiao Wang's project is progressing smoothly, but that's not what I want to tell you. Xiao Wang and Xiao Li have developed a plateau-type propeller blade. According to their calculations, if it is used on our unmanned helicopter, as long as the engine power can be guaranteed, it can hover at an altitude of 6000 meters without ground effect."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang suddenly looked up at Professor Wu and Wang Tao and Li Dong behind him: "How many meters did you say it was?"

"6000 meters!"

Professor Wu's tone was very affirmative. He believed that Zhang Qihang understood what this hovering altitude meant.

Zhang Qihang was indeed very clear about what this no-ground-effect hovering altitude meant. The maximum flight altitude of ordinary civilian helicopters is only three to four thousand meters, which is the flight altitude. The hovering altitude will be lower. In the western region of my country, many border checkpoints are located at altitudes far exceeding 4000 meters. Among them, the famous Heweitan checkpoint has an altitude of 5418 meters, which is the highest border checkpoint in my country.

A considerable number of these border checkpoints in the western region are in a situation where "the mountains are closed for half a year", making supply quite difficult. They can only desperately store supplies during the few months each year when the mountains are open. If the plateau-type propellers developed by Wang Tao, Li Dong and others can really reach a hovering altitude of 6000 meters - no, even if it is only 5500 meters, it will still be of great value - it is indeed not economical to dispatch helicopters to supply these checkpoints, but what if unmanned helicopters are used?

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Qihang looked at Wang Tao and Li Dong and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, you should know what this height means, right?"

Wang Tao and Li Dong nodded vigorously: "Mr. Zhang, we know."

Zhang Qihang pursed his lips and said, "Okay, then tell me what's going on."

"Mr. Zhang, it's like this..."

As the two explained, Zhang Qihang finally understood what was going on:

After Zhang Qihangtong agreed to let Wang Tao work on the consumer-grade multi-rotor UAV project, Wang Tao pulled his senior brothers together to form a team and started working on this project. During lunch one time, everyone was chatting and bragging while eating. One of the junior brothers casually said that the current flying altitude of UAVs was not good. It was too low and could not meet the requirements of those photography enthusiasts who wanted to take pictures of snow-capped mountains and snow scenes. It would be great if there was a UAV that could fly higher.

  The senior student next to me said casually that this thing is simple. The reason why the current drones can't fly high enough is because of the blades. Can't we just make a plateau blade? This is the world's first plateau drone that can take pictures of snow-capped mountains and snow scenes. Once this drone is on the market, the price must be half higher than that of existing drones, right?

Besides, we all have shares in this project team, so the money will come pouring in when the time comes.

We are all young people, and we hit it off immediately and got to work.
