God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 351 Technology is the Most Valuable
Knowing the whole story and the stakes involved, Chen Weidong thought for a while and said:

"Minister Cen, how many drones do you want? But let me tell you first, the drone you see in front of you is an improved drone. It is the same model as the one used in the Middle East, and it can withstand the test." Strong electronic countermeasures, not afraid of signal interference."

"Of course, the price is definitely not cheap. After all, the researchers in several of our laboratories have put in a lot of effort. If you really want one, it will cost 200 million!"

"Two million dollars?!" Everyone's eyes popped out.

Many people frantically scratched their ears to see if they had heard it wrong.

People in the United States, General Atomics Technology Company, manufactured a Predator, and sold it to the US military at a price of 500 million U.S. dollars. Infinity's drone is so powerful that it only costs 200 million U.S. dollars?

With such a cheap price, the people in the assembly department couldn't believe that they picked it up!

The accompanying officers all looked ready to move, eager to sign the contract immediately.

Director Zhang couldn't hold back anymore, he hurriedly held them down, and said, "Wait, Xiao Chen, I remember that most of the parts of your drone are processed by automated equipment, right? Is the cost still so high?" ?”

As one of the very few people who can pass unimpeded in the Infinity company park, Director Zhang can be said to be the outsider who knows the Infinity company best. Usually, he knows exactly what new projects are in the laboratory and how many assembly lines have been added.

What's more, with a price of 200 million U.S. dollars, according to the current foreign exchange price of 700 or so, it is equivalent to more than [-] million yuan!

Such a drone was built with money!

They can't afford it themselves!

"Ahem, Director Zhang, what Awei said was 200 million RMB, you all misunderstood, our automation equipment is already very complete, how can it be possible to make a drone at a cost of several million dollars, this is not in line with our The company's consistent style”

"What's more, we didn't make drones to make money, but the material laboratory happened to have suitable materials, so we extended the use by the way, and then took it to the Middle East battlefield to try it out. I didn't expect the effect to be good. .”

"Since you need it, we thought it over and decided to use the money we earned in the Middle East to subsidize the losses from selling it to you. It's two strokes."

Lin Zeju's words were vague.

However, everyone understands that although the upper parts of this drone use automated equipment, the manufacturing cost also needs more than 300 million yuan a piece, and now it is sold to them for only 200 million yuan.

He doesn't earn a penny of the money he earned from Saddam, and plans to subsidize it all!
Those who heard his words were moved.

What a good entrepreneur, what a loss to help the country!

Those who were initially dissatisfied with the Infinity Company for selling such advanced equipment to the Iraqis can't say a word now.

Can such a huge sacrifice be done by others?
Minister Cen didn't say anything, he held Lin Zeju's hand tightly, and said: "Family in the Mainland of Xiangjiang, originally, you are not allowed to sell materials that can be used for military purposes in private like this!"

"However, we know your intentions, so we won't be harsh on you. As for our purchase quantity, we will make overall arrangements after reporting to the higher authorities based on your price!"

"What is not allowed, it is illegal at all!" Chen Weidong thought to himself, but he still expressed his position: "Minister Cen, I know it is wrong to do this, but as a patriotic young man, seeing our equipment is not good enough, my heart Urgent! Thank you, uncles, for being considerate of our difficulties!"

A staff member suddenly joked: "Your technical strength is so strong, why don't you help us get more high-tech equipment, and we can win foreign sales orders for you. In this way, we can achieve mutual benefits, you What do you think?"

"Ah, this. This." Chen Weidong's eyes widened and his tongue fell open.

This is coming again!

If we really want to go through your hands, we can't even drink soup, wouldn't it be a big loss!

In the afternoon of the same day, several representatives of Infinity and General Assembly signed a series of cooperation plans.

The General Assembly Department initially decided to order [-] improved drones first.

After that, adjustments will be made according to the requirements of Saudi Arabia.

One very important point in the contract is that Infinity Company needs to make some changes to the appearance and painting of the Peregrine [-] UAV to avoid being found to be too similar to the UAV used by the Iraqi Army.

Even in terms of performance, it has to be worse, and it can be sold at a higher price if it is upgraded slowly later.

Even the name of the drone was changed to "Falcon" by the General Assembly Department.

Moreover, they will privately inform the Saudi representative that this is a "copycat" product of the "Peregrine Falcon II" drone.

In this way, many unnecessary incidents can be avoided.

Both Chen Weidong and Lin Zeju couldn't laugh or cry. They didn't expect that one day they would need to copy their own products and also OEM for others. However, they still sent these key requirements to the UAV project team.

It's worth mentioning here.

Chen Weidong and the others, through a series of operations, sold the drone to Saddam Hussein. After throwing away various costs, they made a net profit of more than one billion US dollars.

30% of this was taken out and given back to the project staff.

A total of more than 70 researchers participated in the entire drone project, as well as some processing plants outside the company, as well as operators who helped process some parts.

Those who directly or indirectly participated in this project, without exception, received a very considerable bonus.

Tens of millions more, and 10,000+ at least.

It is already a huge sum in this day and age.

Of course, the amount of each person's bonus is divided according to their contribution to the project and the value of the benefits they create. There is a set of very rigorous calculation methods, and the professionals of the academic committee will conduct the most detailed evaluation.

Such a fair and just reward mechanism has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of researchers.

There are many researchers who get rich directly because of one project.

The era of "doing scientific research, the income is not as high as selling tea eggs" is gone forever.

These related deeds, after being heavily reported by some news media, have inspired countless young people to work hard and devote themselves to great scientific research after graduation.

And Infinity Company has also become the yearning of countless people.
