When will I have a long tassel?

"Commercial use?" Su Hua's eyes lit up, "Sister Zhang, do you think this kind of drone can be used commercially?"

The relationship between Yu Xiaohui and his wife and Ning Mo's family is quite messy. Yu Xiaohui called Ning Mo Uncle Fatty, and also called Zhang Beibei Fat Aunt. Zhang Beibei felt awkward at first, but later found out that Yu Xiaohui called her that on purpose, and didn't bother to argue with her.

Su Hua followed Yu Xiaohui and called Ning Mo Uncle Fat, but he called Ning Mo Zhang Beibei as Sister Zhang. After all, Zhang Beibei was only a few years older than them. He called her aunt one by one, and also added the word "fat" as a prefix. , it is very easy for people to collapse.

As for the next generation, Ning Yiming calls Yu Xiaohui sister and Su Hua uncle, making it unclear what the seniority of this group of people is.

Su Hua has been inspired by Tang Zifeng since he was in the third year of high school and started to get involved in business. Over the years, he has set up a stall in the electronics market. Now he is more business-sensitive than technology-sensitive. He can be regarded as a comprehensive talent that spans the two worlds of technology and business. He doesn't like to be a simple coder, but wants to achieve a career in the mall like Tang Zifeng, but he has never found a suitable direction.

On weekdays, Su Hua would also discuss business-related issues with Yu Xiaohui. Unfortunately, Yu Xiaohui's thoughts were all on technology. Su Hua's wild ideas seemed to her to be far-fetched, and the two could not discuss them at all. Go down.

Zhang Beibei has helped Ningmo manage the repair shop business in the past few years. In addition, being in a place with a strong business atmosphere like Jingnan, she already has some business temperament. Su Hua and her can just find a common language.

"I heard you say that this kind of drone is used for taking pictures abroad?" Zhang Beibei asked.

Su Hua nodded and said, "Yes, foreign armies are now using this kind of drone for battlefield reconnaissance, especially for countries with weak military strength. Even if they hang over their troops to take pictures, the other side will be helpless."

"So, can it be used to shoot weddings?" Zhang Beibei continued to ask.

"Photographing a wedding?" Su Hua was stunned and said unconvincingly: "Can you do it... There's nothing special about weddings. But, do weddings need aerial photography?"

"Of course." Zhang Beibei said, "You don't know, there are so many different ways to get married here in Jingnan. Ordinary wedding photos are no longer enough. Some young people get married and ask for helicopters to scatter flowers and aerial photography. It costs more than 10,000 to hire a helicopter. In fact, it just means taking a few videos and adding some photos.

"I've seen videos taken by some people. They're shaky and the photos can't be seen clearly. It just means the same thing anyway, and no one cares about the quality of the picture."

"It's just a waste of money." Ning Mo said disdainfully.

When he and Zhang Beibei got married, it was not popular in Dongye to take luxurious wedding photos, so they just found a photographer with two skills and took a few random photos. In the past few years in Jinnan, Zhang Beibei had seen many wedding photos of newlyweds and witnessed the scene of helicopter aerial photography. She came back and nagged him in his ear no less than 100 times. She also repeatedly wanted to drag him to retake the photo and let him Too much trouble. Now that he heard Zhang Beibei mentioning this matter again, he naturally wanted to take a blow.

"You know nothing, you just know how to eat!" Zhang Beibei scolded Ning Mo angrily, then turned back and continued to talk to Su Hua enthusiastically: "Nowadays, people are rich, and they are getting married. Life It’s just a one-time thing, and everyone is willing to spend some money. If your drone can replace a helicopter for aerial photography, I think the price for one time shooting will definitely be much cheaper than hiring a helicopter, and everyone is willing to accept it.”

"Fat Aunt, are you saying that every wedding will buy a drone to take pictures?" Yu Xiaohui asked.

Zhang Beibei shook her head and said: "Of course not, I mean, wedding companies will buy it. Even if it costs more than 10,000 yuan to buy a drone, you can make it back after just a few shots. If you can provide this kind of service, others will If you can't provide it, you will be competitive, right? If companies compete with each other, won't sales increase in the end?"

Su Hua asked: "Sister Zhang, I don't know much about this industry. How many wedding companies can there be in a prefecture-level city like Heling?"

"There are already more than a dozen." Zhang Beibei said.

"In other words, Heling alone can sell more than a dozen drones?" Yu Xiaohui asked.

Zhang Beibei said: "Maybe there are more. Think about it, a wedding company sometimes has to hold several weddings at the same time, such as National Day or auspicious days like August 8, when more people get married. .Can a company not prepare several drones to take pictures at the same time?”

Yu Xiaohui argued: "But not everyone who gets married needs to use a drone."

Su Hua said: "Xiaohui, you don't understand this. This kind of luxury consumption is the most important thing to compare with. If other people use drones for their weddings, but you don't, you will feel that you are being compared by others. That's it. For example, when we sell computers in the market, professional users choose accessories according to their own needs. Generally, non-professional home users only buy expensive ones and not the right ones.

"One thing they often say is, my colleague's computer at home uses a certain graphics card, so you should also equip me with this."

"Profiteer!" Yu Xiaohui commented with a smile, but she also knew that Su Hua's feeling was right. She had heard similar words from Tang Zifeng in the past.

"In addition to marriage, can it be used for other places?" Ning Mo also started to express his opinions. He was originally a person who liked to join in the fun. There was no reason for him not to interrupt when others were chatting.

"I have some buddies who like to go on self-driving trips and take a lot of photos wherever they go. I heard from them that some places have such beautiful scenery that they would like to fly a helicopter to the sky to take pictures." Ningmo said.

“I’ve really thought about this requirement,” Su Hua said. “Actually, when I first designed this drone, I thought it could be used to shoot landscape films. For this, I spent a lot of time. I am not responsible for the stabilization system of the aircraft. If you use a drone like mine to take pictures, you will definitely not have the shaky feeling like Sister Zhang said. In a normal breeze environment, a drone like mine will Hanging in the sky is more stable than placing it on the ground.”

"Just blow it, how can it be more stable than putting it on the ground?" Yu Xiaohui said.

Su Hua laughed awkwardly and said: "For commercial promotion, it should be somewhat exaggerated. However, the flight balance system I developed is indeed the first in the world. I have applied for a patent. It's not like you don't know it."

"You copied the idea of ​​dynamic balancing of our machine tool tools, okay? I haven't asked you to charge you for the creative fee." Yu Xiaohui said with a smile.

"My bank card is in your bag, do you still need to charge me?" Su Hua said.

Seeing Ning Mo and his wife giving them teasing looks, Yu Xiaohui said in embarrassment: "Don't listen to his nonsense. I was afraid that he would lose everything, so I helped him collect these things. This Su Hua has always been They are all like Lu Dongbin, they don’t know good people’s hearts.”

"But..." Su Hua brought back the original topic, "Now the cost of drones is too high, one costs more than 10,000 yuan. Buy a good camera, which is about this price. Photography enthusiasts, unless they are very financially well-off, will be reluctant to buy one.”

"I asked Su Hua, are you too dark-hearted?" Ning Mo said, "I don't think there is much in this plane. How come the cost alone is more than 10,000 yuan? More than 10,000 yuan is enough to buy it. A machine tool weighs one or two tons, and the iron alone is worth several thousand yuan."

Su Hua sighed: "Uncle Fatty, it's really not my fault. There are precision parts on the drone. Look at the cantilever. It's all hollow in design to reduce weight. How much money does it cost just to process these precision parts? Money.”

"Bulk production," Ning Mo said. "If your output is large, you can get several special machine tools and process even the most precise components in one clamping. Will the cost come down?"

"Didn't I never expect such a large output?" Su Hua explained sheepishly. Having a girlfriend who studies machine tools, Su Hua naturally understands how mass production can reduce costs.

If some parts are processed with ordinary machine tools, lathes, milling machines, grinders, and drills will be used. Multiple clampings and different cutting tools will be required, which consumes countless man-hours. But if it is mass production, you can ask the machine tool factory to design a special machine tool. The machine tool will automatically change different tools. The operator only needs to perform one clamping and enter the processing program to automatically process the product, thus saving a lot of labor. cost.

Suhua had not thought that this kind of drone could be used commercially, so it did not expect mass production. Now after chatting with Zhang Beibei, I discovered that there really is a potential market, which can be said to be promising. If sales can be increased, production batches will be expanded, and special machine tools can be considered.

Once special machine tools are available, the cost of products will drop, which will stimulate more demand. This is called a virtuous cycle.

In the process of designing this toy drone for Ning Yiming, Su Hua made many new inventions, and he applied for patents for each invention. This means that if he wants to build a drone, the patent barrier alone will be enough to exclude many competitors. The lack of competitors means he can earn high profits.

If a drone earns 2,000 yuan, a Heling city can sell 50 units, which is a profit of 100,000 yuan. There are 300 prefecture-level cities in the country, with a profit of 30 million yuan. Considering foreign markets, photography enthusiasts, and other application scenarios that are currently unimaginable, shouldn't the profit from this business be in the hundreds of millions?

Could it be that the drone he developed as a toy could actually be the business opportunity he has been striving for?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yu Xiaohui, wanting to share this exciting feeling with his girlfriend.

Yu Xiaohui was also looking at Su Hua, and when their eyes met, she felt the heat in Su Hua's eyes. She hadn't seen this kind of fiery gaze in Su Hua's eyes for a long time.

"Su Hua, do you really want to make a drone?"

"Do you think it's feasible, Xiaohui?"

"I think you should ask Uncle Tang for advice?"

"I……"

Su Hua hesitated for a moment.
