Chapter 396 Come on, Show: Next

Where can I find such a good fan...

Zhang Qihang felt emotional in his heart, smiled slightly, and said: "The advantages of manned aircraft are as you just said, high operational efficiency, but the disadvantages are also obvious. First of all, manned aircraft requires a dedicated pilot, and the daily maintenance and The cost of maintenance is very high, and these are borne by the final user, that is, the farmer... Take crops such as wheat and rice as examples. The pesticide spraying operation is $150, the average is $10 per acre, almost $61 per acre, and even with agricultural subsidies, the farmer still needs to pay at least 60%, right?"

In order to facilitate the understanding of the people around him, Zhang Qihang deliberately used hectare, mu and acre, the three most commonly used units of area in Europe, Japan and the United States.

Sure enough, when Zhang Qihang said this, the people around couldn't help but nodded. In North America, the actual price of pesticide spraying by plane is almost the same.

Seeing everyone around nodded, Zhang Qihang smiled, and he continued: "But drones are different. The biggest advantages of drones are cheap purchases, low personnel training costs, low daily maintenance costs and The cost of fuel is low, and all of these together mean that the operating cost per unit area is low.

Not to mention the low cost of purchasing the drone, our drone only costs US$5, and it is a complete machine equipped with a full set of pesticide spraying system;
In addition, our drones only need simple training for personnel to get started, and do not require special pilots. The most important thing is that the maintenance cost of our engines is very low. We only need to change the oil every 20 hours of flight, every flight It only takes 100 hours to replace the spark plug. Compared with manned aircraft, the cost is almost zero.

Because the cost is low, our operation cost is very low. As I said just now, if the subsidy is not included, the operation cost of manned aircraft is about 10 US dollars per mu. If drones are used for pesticide spraying operations, this cost can be reduced. Drop operating fees as low as $6 per acre! "

$6 per acre?

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, the people around were in an uproar: If this is the case, then removing the government's agricultural subsidies is almost equivalent to no cost.

Many people were moved immediately.

But the person who spoke before was obviously a little unconvinced, and said, "But your homework efficiency is too low."

"You're right," Zhang Qihang nodded, "The maximum daily operating area of ​​our single aircraft is only 800 mu, but this is not a problem, because our aircraft itself is designed for small farmers in Asia and small farms in America. Yes, farms above a medium scale can use manned aircraft to improve operational efficiency, and small farms can use our drones to reduce costs and increase profits... If you feel that the daily operating area of ​​800 mu is not enough, then buy two more A plane, that must be enough."

The people around heard the words and nodded subconsciously: Yes, the single-day operating area of ​​one aircraft is only 800 mu, which is indeed not enough, but it doesn't matter, what if two, three or even four aircraft operate at the same time?Then the daily operation area is 1600 mu, 2400 mu or even 3200 mu. The farmer can flexibly match it according to his actual situation. This is enough anyway. Didn’t the manufacturer’s personnel say that the users of this drone are themselves small farm.

Hearing this, Motoei Taiichiro couldn't bear it any longer, he bowed deeply to Zhang Qihang, and said: "Hi sir, I am the president of Hokkaido Motoei Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. I am very interested in this plant protection drone, can we talk about it?"

This guy turned out to be the president of an agricultural machinery company?

Zhang Qihang was a little surprised, but surprised, Zhang Qihang nodded immediately: "Of course, this is my honor."

As soon as Zhang Qihang's voice fell, another blond guy said immediately: "Sir, I am also very interested in your product..."

"Welcome to any friends who are interested in cooperating," Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "Why don't you all come in, let's take a year off and talk."

………………

"What? Your plant protection drone hasn't finished finalizing yet?"

After sitting in, Zhang Qihang introduced the progress of this plant protection drone to these people. I heard that this plant protection drone has not yet been fully finalized. The merchants from Millikin who were interested in this plant protection drone were very surprised.

Zhang Qihang waved his hands again and again: "No, no, to be precise, the final test has not been completed. The core components such as the engine, reducer, rotor and other core components have been completed. The progress of the entire project has been completed by 90%. In fact According to the current progress, in two months at most, our plant protection drone can complete all tests and be officially launched for sale."

"Is that so..."

Motoei Taiichiro and other guys who intend to represent Huateng Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s plant protection drone immediately began to think in their hearts: This is a good opportunity to lower the price...

The changes in the expressions of these guys did not hide from Zhang Qihang's eyes. He immediately guessed what these guys were planning, and before a few people opened their mouths, he said slowly: "Gentlemen, there is one thing I have to tell you... "

Under the watchful eyes of several people, Zhang Qihang said slowly: "Our Huateng Machinery Manufacturing Company is the largest small gasoline engine manufacturer and motorcycle manufacturer in China, with annual sales of more than 3 million U.S. dollars, and this plant protection drone It is a product jointly developed by our Huateng Machinery Manufacturing Company and one of China's most powerful universities in aviation technology. Our cooperative unit has deep connections in China's political arena. At present, we have obtained a total of 50 state-owned farms and a total of 200 Unmanned plant protection machine cooperation pilot qualifications for [-] mu of land.

At present, our company has jointly established a farmland operation company with 100 plant protection drones with our partners, and is now training drone operators...Everyone is doing agricultural machinery, I believe everyone It is very clear what this area and the number of workers mean. "

Sure enough, Motoei Taiichiro and the others suddenly changed their expressions when they heard what Zhang Qihang said, and they realized at the same time that they had made a mistake.

Before that, everyone thought that this Huateng machinery manufacturing company was a small company, eager to realize their drone exports, so before that, everyone had formed a tacit understanding that the price must be lowered, but if Huateng If the company's situation is as this guy said, it is a company with annual sales of hundreds of millions of dollars, then it is another matter.
