Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 439 So Cheap?

Calvin is a well-known director in Hollywood. Although he is not as famous as Spielberg, Cameron and others, he is still considered a first-line director in Hollywood.This time he has the opportunity to direct a film with an investment of over [-] million US dollars, which is also a very important opportunity for him.

"Calvin, this time our film has a lot of aerial shots. If we rent helicopters to shoot all of them, it will definitely exceed the budget."

"I know, that's why I came to the Dubai Airshow before the launch to see if there are new solutions."

"Do you want to see if there is a better drone? Carvin, actually, I think the performance of Noslow Pugrumman's drone can already meet our requirements."

"Satisfied? Steven, I'm not saying that Grumman's drones were developed for the Pentagon, and they may not be suitable for the aerial photography of our movies. Let's just say that their price is 80 U.S. dollars. Can we afford it? We at least We need six or seven drones to assist us in shooting, and our budget is only 1.2 million US dollars, not so much money to spend on drones."

"But the price of Grumman's drones is already [-]% cheaper than that of Lockheed Martin. Is there any better drone in the world than these two companies?".

Northrop Grumman is one of the major aerospace vehicle manufacturers in the United States, formed in 1994 by the merger of the former Northrop Corporation and Grumman Corporation.Northrop Grumman, which has 12 employees, is one of the giants in the U.S. arms industry.The UAV they consulted with is a civilian UAV developed by Grumman based on a product developed by the Micro Pentagon, and it is only a water test.

As for Lockheed Martin, it is even more powerful.Calvin asked their civilian department to buy drones, and it would be strange if they didn't quote a sky-high price.

"That's why we came to the Dubai Airshow to see if there were any other options."

"Okay then, let's see, but I don't have much hope for that."

……

The 5-day ninth Dubai Airshow opened on November 2005, 11 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Dassault, Lockheed, Grumman, Sukhoi and other top manufacturers gathered, and leaders or military officers of a bunch of countries in the Gulf region also attended the opening ceremony of the air show.

However, none of these have much to do with the Brilliant UAV.At the Nuoda air show, the booth of the Brilliant UAV was a bit small, but Dai Fugan and others manipulated the UAV to perform various complex tasks, which was considered to have attracted the attention of some people.

"Are these pictures taken by drones?".

Just as Dai Fuqian and others were demonstrating the functions of the Brilliance drone, two Arab men in white robes came over to ask questions.

"Yes, the screen on this computer displays the aerial footage of the drone in real time. The clearer one next to it is the screen shot by the film carried by the drone." Dai Fuqian pointed to the nearby Drones and computers said.

"Is this operation complicated? I have a large ranch, and I want to buy two to see if it can be used to monitor sheep and prevent theft."

"Sir, I'm Dai Fugan, the general manager of Guanghui Drone, what's your name?".

"Abdullah Aziz, you can call me Abdullah".

"Mr. Abdullah, hello! The operation of our drone is very simple, especially the one with a high-definition digital camera. Basically, it will take 10 minutes to practice according to the instruction manual."

"Can I give it a try?".

"Of course, your side please."

……

Just after Dai Fugan successfully fooled Abdullah into taking away two drones at a high price of 3 US dollars each, the good luck of the Guanghui drone seemed to come.

This product of Brilliance UAV is named X1, and the future X series will be a dedicated series of four-axis drones.Of course, combined with the different configurations, there are X11, X12 and other models for specific subdivision.

Among the hardware costs of the Brilliant Drone X1, the most expensive is the camera system. At present, the companies invested by the Brilliant Group have no way to produce this high-definition camera system, so the cost is still relatively high.Basically, the hardware cost of X1 has reached more than 3000 yuan, and the cost of X1 has reached 5000 yuan considering the cost of software such as the flight control system.

However, this is based on the scale of production of 1 units to allocate the cost after investment. If the sales volume is poor, the cost will be higher.In line with the idea of ​​earning back the investment as soon as possible, and considering that the few high-end civilian drones currently on sale abroad are priced at tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, Jiang Hui's price for the X[-] starts at [-] dollars.

Compared with the cost price, the price of 1 US dollars is scary high, but compared with similar products, the performance of X[-] is better, and the price is indeed the same or much lower, so there is absolutely no need to worry about its competitiveness.

This time Brilliance drones came to participate in the exhibition. In addition to the [-] prototypes used in the exhibition, they also brought [-] products for sale.

……

At the same time, the booth of the American Warrior UAV.

"Sir, we are planning to purchase several drones for patrolling and monitoring national parks, what do you suggest?".

"Patrol and monitoring? Come to us, there are no warriors, you are in the right place. Our drone weighs 12.3 kilograms, stays in the air for more than an hour, and can transmit the photos taken to the ground in real time...".

"Sir, why do I feel that your screen is displayed intermittently?".

"There is no way to do this. After all, the most advanced wireless transmission technology is used, and some minor problems are normal."

"What's your cruising speed?"

"It can reach up to 30 kilometers per hour."

"Will different speeds of battery life affect the time spent in the air?".

"Well, it has a little impact, you don't have to worry about this problem, our Warrior UAV is the best civilian UAV in the world...".

"Sir, how much is it?"

"As long as 12 units."

"I'm going to think about it."

"11, as long as 11 you can buy the best drone in the world."

"One hundred thousand units, I bought it."

"make a deal!".

……

"Louis, didn't you just participate in the Paris Air Show, why are you participating in the Dubai Air Show again?"

"It's not that the performance of the drone we bought last time can't meet our requirements, so let's take a look again."

"To buy a drone, I recommend you to go to the Warrior UAV. Their products are good. They can stay in the air for more than an hour, travel at a speed of 12.3 kilometers per hour, and weigh only [-] kilograms. The most important thing is that they can realize real-time image transmission."

"Thank you, Kaveline, I've already bought two."

"Bought it? You bought it. Is it also a Warrior drone?".

"I have never heard of the Warrior UAV, but I bought the Brilliance UAV. It can stay in the air for more than two hours, and the speed can reach up to 5.8 kilometers per hour. It can also achieve high-definition image transmission, and the weight is only [-] kilograms."

"Really? The performance is so good, is it expensive? Do you have enough budget?".

"How much did you pay for it?".

"One hundred thousand dollars apiece".

"I still won't tell you the price I bought."

"What do you mean? It's okay, just tell me."

"Is it really okay?".

"Really, tell me."

"Thirty-two thousand dollars."

"What? So cheap?".
