Chapter 740 24 "Xianglong" UAVs
Tang Guoqiang was already waiting in the office for Tang Fei to come.

"Minister Tang."

As soon as he knocked on the door and came in, Tang Fei greeted him proactively.At this moment, Tang Fei is in a very good mood. If he guesses correctly, Tang Guoqiang will negotiate with him about the "Xianglong" large drone on behalf of the military.

The first drone of this drone was produced last year, and it caused quite a stir all over the world and gained a lot of fame.

It first conducted a series of verification test flights at the airport of Jiuzhou UAV Company for two or three months, and then conducted a transition test flight to several military airports. During the test flight, it performed very well and won received high marks from the military.

In many high-level meetings of the military, many important leaders mentioned this drone many times.The military also hopes to install this drone as soon as possible.

It's so good and so advanced!

Having it in the military is equivalent to having clairvoyance. Even if it is tens of thousands of kilometers away, everything cannot escape the eyes of the "Xianglong" large drone.

Seeing Tang Fei coming in, Tang Guoqiang was very enthusiastic, and immediately got up and said, "Mr. Tang, you came here so soon. It's been hard work. Come on, please sit down."

Warmly greeted Tang Fei to sit down on the sofa. Zhang Ping, who came in with him, was also quick-sighted. He immediately made a cup of hot tea for Tang Fei, and then stepped back gently, closing the office door gently. He knew that Minister Tang and Tang Fei have some things to discuss in detail about the "Xianglong" large drone.

Tang Guoqiang walked over and sat down on the sofa next to Tang Fei, with only a small coffee table between them.

"Mr. Tang, you have worked hard. On behalf of the military, I thank you. The test flight of the 'Xianglong' large drone at our military airport is very good..."

He first expressed his gratitude on behalf of the military, and also highly praised the outstanding performance of the "Xianglong" large UAV, and then his tone became positive.

"This is a very outstanding large drone. Our military needs it. Entrusted by relevant leaders, I will talk to you about ordering this drone on behalf of the military..."

Tang Guoqiang didn't beat around the bush, but said straight to the point that the purpose of calling Tang Fei this time was to talk to Tang Fei about the order of the "Xianglong" large drone.

Hearing this, Tang Fei felt happy for a while, as he had expected.

After working so hard for so long, starting from the development of the system, to the production and manufacture of various parts, to the assembly of the whole machine, to the current series of test flights, it took more than two years to finally achieve a positive result, "Xianglong" A large drone is about to receive its first military order.

Tang Fei was deeply proud, and also very happy for the "Xianglong" large drone. He almost said, great, we finally have an order from the military!
"Minister Tang, on behalf of Jiuzhou UAV Company, I would like to express my position that the military is welcome to order the large-scale 'Xianglong' drones, and we will manufacture these drones as soon as possible and deliver them to the military with the best quality. square."

"Good!" Tang Guoqiang praised: "With your attitude, I am very relieved."

The two are familiar with each other and have a good relationship, and they soon entered into detailed negotiations.Tang Guoqiang also clearly told Tang Fei that the military will order a total of 24 "Xianglong" large drones, including 6 sets of ground control systems, as well as entrusted training for more than [-] ground operators and a group of daily maintenance personnel. .

The "Xianglong" large UAV is a remote-controlled aircraft, and all flight actions are controlled by ground personnel through the ground control system.

The military originally had two ground control systems, which were donated by Jiuzhou UAV Company for free, but the two ground control systems are certainly far from enough.

Order 6 more sets, a total of 8 sets of ground control systems, distributed in various airports or bases of the military, which can control this drone very well.

A total of 24 "Xianglong" large-scale drones require a lot of ground operators and a group of maintenance personnel to carry out daily maintenance on the drones.

As the research and development unit of the "Xianglong" large UAV, Jiuzhou UAV Company is definitely the most professional in the ground operation of UAVs and the daily maintenance of UAVs. The military entrusts Jiuzhou UAV Company Help them train such a group of personnel.

Tang Fei immediately agreed: "Minister Tang, there is no problem. We will train this group of personnel well. In addition, when will the delivery of the 24 'Xianglong' drones be completed?"

Tang Guoqiang tentatively said: "Can you manufacture all of them within three years? If not, you can deliver three or five to us in the first year, and then you can slowly deliver them later."

He knows that as a large drone with advanced comprehensive performance and high technical content, it may face a series of problems when it first enters mass production. , A total of 24 "Xianglong" large UAVs can be delivered in about four years.

Let's tentatively say three years first. If Tang Fei feels more difficult, he will extend the time to four years.

Unexpectedly, Tang Fei smiled, and his whole body exuded a strong self-confidence.

The entire set of technical data of the "Xianglong" large-scale drone comes from the system. Tang Fei knows that these technical data are very scientific and reasonable, and there will be basically no major problems in the future manufacturing process, and it will be relatively smooth.

In addition, I have a BUFF of +2 production efficiency. Under the influence of this halo, the production efficiency of Jiuzhou Drone Company must be relatively high.

Tang Fei looked at Tang Guoqiang and said confidently: "Minister Tang, it won't take three years. After the contract is signed, we can complete the delivery of a total of 24 large-scale 'Xianglong' drones within two years."

"Really, that's great!"

Tang Guoqiang has a very strong heart, and usually does not show joy on his face, but this time he showed a rare look of obvious surprise.

"Mr. Tang, you are so awesome. You have greatly exceeded our expectations. We have never expected to complete the delivery of all 24 large-scale 'Xianglong' drones within two years..."

He has high praise.

Then, the two parties began to enter into specific price negotiations.

Facing Tang Guoqiang's inquiry, Tang Fei straightened his face and said very seriously: "Minister Tang, the 'Xianglong' drone is a large drone, and its dimensions are still higher than the US' Global Hawk' large drone. , the overall performance is no worse than the 'Global Hawk'..."

Tang Guoqiang is naturally familiar with the large US "Global Hawk" drone, and even knows the cost of that drone.

The Huaxia military has already investigated clearly that the cost of the "Global Hawk" is as high as 2.2 million U.S. dollars. With such a high cost, many people will secretly be dumbfounded.

too expensive!
This is simply a golden bump.

Many high-level officials in the Chinese military are worried about the cost of the large "Xianglong" drone. Although Jiuzhou UAV Company has never announced the cost of this drone, many high-level military officials speculate that its The cost is basically the same as that of the "Global Hawk" of the United States.

It is precisely because of its high cost that the military, after careful consideration, temporarily ordered 24 "Xianglong" large UAVs instead of 36 or 48.

It is precisely because of the high cost that even the wealthy US military will only be equipped with a total of more than 40 "Global Hawk" drones in the next ten years.

If the cost of the "Xianglong" large UAV is as high as that of the "Global Hawk", the military considers that after ordering these 24, it is estimated that the number of orders will be relatively small in the future, so it will order a few more one after another, up to ten. The rest are just supplements.

Tang Fei could see the obvious worry from Tang Guoqiang's eyes, and knew that Minister Tang was worried about the cost of the "Xianglong" large drone.

How about the cost of the "Xianglong" large UAV?

It's a very capable large drone, and it won't come cheap, that's for sure.But it is far from reaching the terrifying cost of the American "Global Hawk" drone.

The entire technology of this drone comes from the system. When designing and developing, the system fully considered the manufacturing cost. The cost of the "Xianglong" large drone is much lower than that of the "Global Hawk".

In addition, due to the excellent management of Jiuzhou UAV Company, coupled with the influence of Tang Fei's own BUFF, the cost of the "Xianglong" large UAV is far from as high as the military imagined.

Tang Fei said with a relaxed smile: "Minister Tang, don't worry too much. Although the cost of our large drone 'Xianglong' is high, it has not yet reached the level of terror of 'Global Hawk'."

"Oh." After Tang Guoqiang reacted, he immediately said: "Then tell me about the cost of our large drone 'Xianglong'."

After thinking about it, Tang Fei said: "Its cost should be around 1 million US dollars. In order to ensure our profit, its selling price to the military should be around 1 million US dollars."

In fact, its cost is less than 1 million U.S. dollars, but Tang Fei dare not say too low, otherwise it will be a little abnormal.

Hearing such a cost, Tang Guoqiang's face immediately showed obvious satisfaction, and his expression was much more relaxed, basically no longer worried.

Originally, their prediction was that the cost of the "Xianglong" large UAV should be around 2 million U.S. dollars. No one thought that it was only half of it, and the cost was only 1 million U.S. dollars.

Of course, the cost of 1 million US dollars is certainly not cheap, but as an advanced large drone, the cost is definitely not high.

With such a low cost and the delivery of all 24 drones within two years, Tang Guoqiang was completely happy.

He and Tang Fei quickly negotiated all the details, got up and looked at the time and said, "Oh, it's already past 12 o'clock, time flies so fast."

Tang Fei said: "Minister Tang, why don't I treat you, let's have a light meal nearby."

Tang Guoqiang simply said: "No, I will treat you to this meal."

With his insistence, Tang Fei followed suit.

Tang Guoqiang took Tang Fei, followed by Zhang Ping and Xu Guangming, and the four of them went to the military hotel together, asked for a private room, and had lunch there.

In the afternoon, Tang Fei had free time.

All the details have basically been negotiated. In the afternoon, Tang Guoqiang will report to the senior leaders of the military. If there are no problems, Tang Guoqiang will sign a formal order contract with Tang Fei on behalf of the military tomorrow morning.
