Chapter 419 Sniper Dajiang
A little farewell is better than a wedding.
Luo Yang got up late the next day, so he simply went back to school.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Luo? How come you have time to visit Room 306 today?"
Chang Sheng leaned on the bed frame and teased Luo Yang in a mean way.
Look at the posture, all he needs is a handkerchief.
"I heard that Miss Chang was chosen as the most beautiful lady. Shouldn't we come and show our support?"
Luo Yang sat down on the table under his bed and said, "Tell me, how much do you want to serve me?"
"Hahaha"
Lu Hao was lying on the bed resting. When he saw Luo Yang coming back, he jumped down by holding the bed railing and hooked his arms around Chang Sheng's neck.
"I'm sorry, Miss Chang is being kept by me tonight!"
As he spoke, he lifted Changsheng's chin with one hand.
"Ugh~~~"
Chang Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, he retched a few times, and quickly struggled to break free from Lu Hao's restraints.
"Fuck, two grown men, aren't they disgusting!"
Even Chen Xufeng couldn't help laughing.
Luo Yang took out a cigarette and gave one to each of them.
In the past, he and Lu Hao were the only ones smoking in the dormitory, and they would always run to the balcony. Now that Chang Sheng and Chen Xufeng have also started smoking, there is nothing to be shy about, and everyone just lights up at their desks.
"Are you here at school for something?"
In Lu Hao's opinion, Luo Yang would only come back when he had something to do with the school leaders.
"I got up late, so I might as well take a half-day rest."
Luo Yang told the truth: "Nothing, I just came back to see you guys."
"Are you accompanying Jiang Wen?"
Chang Sheng curled his lips and said, "Alas, I am a great kid in the Magic City, Xiao K, with a family fortune and handsome appearance. After three and a half years in college, I still can't even seduce a campus beauty. I will graduate with such regrets, and I will die with regrets!"
"He's in love again?"
Luo Yang looked at Lu Hao: "Did your pursuit of a school girl fail?"
"It would be great if it was a freshman. He went to find Zhou Yufei again!"
"what?"
Luo Yang looked at Chang Sheng in surprise: "It is said that a good horse never turns back to eat the grass it has left. Besides, you haven't eaten this grass yet."
"Don't listen to the boss's nonsense."
Chang Sheng jumped up and said, "That's not the case at all!"
"What were you two whispering about at the entrance of Canteen No. 2 on Monday?"
Lu Hao immediately provided evidence: "Not only me, but Xu Feng also saw it."
Chen Xufeng nodded beside him.
"Oh~~~"
"Oh~~~"
Luo Yang and Lu Hao immediately started to make a fuss, looking at Chang Sheng with contempt.
Changsheng jumped up and down.
"That day Zhou Yufei came to Canteen No. 2 to find me to inquire about Luo Yang!"
If he wasn't forced into a corner, why would he be willing to reveal the truth?
Luo Yang: “.”
Lu Hao: “.”
Chen Xufeng: “.”
"No, did you provoke her?"
Lu Hao turned to Luo Yang: "When did it happen?"
Everyone in the dormitory knew that Luo Yang had been skipping classes since last year, and one of the classes was in Zhou Yufei's department.
Because of this, he was pursued by another beautiful woman.
Luo Yang was confused.
"She came to you to find out about me?"
"Yeah, I asked a lot of questions!"
Chang Sheng said listlessly: "Ask about your relationship with the former student union president Xiao Wei, ask about your entrepreneurship, and ask for your contact information."
"Tsk, why is she asking these questions?"
Luo Yang shook his head in confusion and said, "I haven't spoken to her at all!"
"Master Luo, Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo, please try not to show up at school if possible."
Chang Sheng clasped his hands together and bowed to Luo Yang: "From Jiang Wen to Xia Ying, from Zhou Yufei to the former campus goddess Xiao Wei, as long as they are beautiful women, they all want to pounce on you. I beg you to put away your magical powers and leave us a way out in the last few months!"
"Forehead"
Luo Yang told the truth: "You still have a few months left, but I have been admitted to graduate school, so I have to stay in school for two more years!"
After dinner, many people in the dormitory building took a nap.
Suddenly, a wailing sound was heard in the silent corridor, with a hint of resentment, a little envy, and a hint of resentment in its shrillness.
After the chat, Luo Yang changed into his sneakers and jersey in the dormitory and went to the court with Lu Hao.
Play a few hours and a half, sweat, take a shower, and feel refreshed.
In the evening, we didn't call anyone else. The four of us in 306 found a Northeastern barbecue restaurant, drank beer and ate skewers from around six until just after ten.
Chen Xufeng was drunk, and Lu Hao and Chang Sheng helped him back to the school dormitory.
Luo Yang was a little drunk and walked back to the rental house alone.
The next morning, Tan Le drove to pick him up and took him to Kunpeng Technology in the Science and Technology Park.
"Chairman, there are still five minutes before the meeting starts. President Chu and the others are here."
Xiao Wei, who has resumed her duties as Luo Yang's assistant, permed her hair today, put on lipstick, and wore big waves, a professional suit, and high heels, showing the maturity of a workplace elite, with none of the immaturity she had in her student days.
"you look pretty today!"
After Luo Yang praised him, he put down the newspaper in his hand and put out his cigarette.
"Thank you."
Xiao Wei's mouth corners curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
When Luo Yang walked into the meeting room, Chu Jianming and others stood up and greeted him.
"Everyone, take a seat."
After sitting down at the head of the table, Luo Yang got straight to the point and said, "I believe everyone already knows that the theme of today's meeting is very clear, which is to discuss the feasibility of sniping competitors."
Chu Jianming presided over the meeting. After the chairman's speech, he called on Ding Hongyi, director of the marketing department.
"Director Ding, please report the relevant situation first."
"Chairman, Mr. Chu, leaders and colleagues, let me first report the sales information."
Ding Hongyi received a call from Chu Jianming the day before yesterday and knew the topic of today's meeting, so he prepared the relevant data in advance.
The data was projected onto the wall in the form of a PPT.
"First of all, let me report on our own sales. As of yesterday, the company has opened up professional application markets in 14 provinces, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei, and Hunan."
A map appears first on the projection screen, followed by a table.
Although sales data in more than half of the provinces are dismal, with numbers only in the single digits, it represents that the market has been torn apart.
We can just copy the Jiangsu and Zhejiang model for promotion in the future.
"In addition to the forestry and land application markets, we have also initially developed application markets such as filming, topography, and mineral exploration."
Ding Hongyi used a laser pen to illuminate the content on the projection screen and reported: "Although the market is still small, considering that the second-generation multi-rotor model is about to be successfully developed, our priority is to open up the market, and profit is second." The corner of the projection screen showed that the entire PPT had a total of 12 pages, and the report content of his own company occupied 9 pages.
“This is the market data we have collected about DJI.”
When I turned to the tenth page, the word DJI appeared.
Ding Hongyi looked at Luo Yang and Chu Jianming at this time: "Chairman, Mr. Chu, due to the tight time, the data our marketing department produces will only be smaller than the actual data. If we want to get closer to the actual data, we need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources."
"You go on first."
"DJI's original main application market was not the land and forestry departments, but the terrain data mapping market."
"DJI discovered the main markets that our competitors were developing earlier than we did, so they imitated our marketing model earlier than we did. Our marketing department admits that we made the mistake of underestimating our competitors."
"DJI's sales in similar application markets in four provinces, including Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Hunan, have surpassed our company's."
"."
A few minutes later, the marketing department's report ended.
"Next, Mr. Liu will give a report on the technical comparison between Kunpeng 1 and DJI's Everest 1."
Xiao Wei skillfully switched the projected PPT.
The content of the report by the company's chief technology officer Liu Zenghui was more professional.
Starting from the flight control system to the power system, image transmission, and gimbal system, each subsystem was disassembled for horizontal comparison.
Luo Yang couldn't understand many professional terms and data.
He only looked at the conclusion part to determine whether Kunpeng 1 was slightly better or Everest 1 was stronger.
"Based on the analysis of our technical department, the overall technological gap between the two is not big, with Everest 1 slightly better than Kunpeng 1. This judgment is based on the flight control system, which is the core part of the drone's major systems."
Liu Zenghui said frankly: "From the information we know, DJI developed the Everest 1 before us, so we predict that DJI started the development of multi-rotor models 3-5 months earlier than us. Of course, it is not ruled out that they started later than us, and everyone knows the reason."
Yes, the development of multi-rotor models is not an iteration of the first-generation prototype, but a new direction.
Kunpeng Technology has achieved seamless integration in this regard, which is due to Luo Yang's decision.
As early as during the development of the first generation of unmanned helicopter flight control system, he determined the research and development direction of the second generation model.
As for whether DJI can achieve seamless connection, the outside world does not know.
“This needs to be investigated.”
Luo Yang interrupted at this time: "Even if the cost is a little higher, we must find a way to collect relevant information."
Originally I just wanted to make some money, but now I have ambitions and need to prepare for some things.
He plans to set up a separate strategic department in Kunpeng Technology, which will specialize in investigating commercial secrets.
All competitors will be in focus.
While Luo Yang was thinking about these things in his mind, Liu Zenghui's report continued.
The second part of his report was predictive in nature and contained a lot of speculation.
".In short, in addition to the flight control system, the latest model of Everest 1 can roughly see DJI's research and development progress in subsystems such as image transmission, power system, gimbal system, material research and development, and battery life."
Unless DJI is intentionally hiding new technological breakthroughs, its technological progress can be roughly judged from its existing models.
Liu Zenghui was originally responsible for the overall assembly coordination and had a deep understanding of the barrel theory.
"Based on the technology of DJI's existing models, we conducted a simulated assembly and predicted the technical parameters of their next-generation multi-rotor drones, which are roughly in the range of ."
“Is DJI probably doing the same thing?”
After Liu Zenghui finished his report, Luo Yang spoke again: "According to Mr. Liu's thinking, they can also guess the parameter index range of our next generation model to about 40%."
Be lenient when anticipating the enemy.
Don't think that you are the only smart one and your opponent is stupid.
After the technical analysis report, the financial report will be given.
"As of the end of last month, the total investment of various R&D teams has exceeded 3250 million yuan, which does not include the investment of the two laboratories of Shanghai University of Engineering and Technology, nor does it include the R&D investment of Yangshi Yuanfan Group in power batteries."
".As of the end of last month, the company's total sales revenue exceeded 7000 million and its profit exceeded 5700 million. In addition to the company's normal expenses, most of the remaining funds were invested in research and development, which does not include Deyang Motor invested by Yang City."
Although I knew that the R&D investment would be large, I didn’t expect it to be so large.
After listening to the financial report, Luo Yang smacked his lips.
3250 million!
You should know that this figure does not include the school’s investment in the two laboratories, nor does it include the investment from my father-in-law Jiang Yuanshan.
If all of them are included, 5000 million would be more than enough.
Moreover, Luo Yang invested 2000 million yuan in the Deyang Motor project himself, and received an additional 2000 million yuan in low-interest loans from the city of Deyang. These two sums of money totaled 4000 million yuan, which were not included in the calculation.
If all is counted, Kunpeng Technology has spent at least 1 million!
What about DJI?
Is there any company like Kunpeng Technology planning to close the industrial chain?
If so, then their investment will not be less than that of Kunpeng Technology. Where does this money come from?
If we do not pursue a closed-loop industrial chain, then after the successful development of the second-generation model, Kunpeng will have a cost advantage in market competitiveness. The more it sells, the greater the cost advantage will be!
This was the question Luo Yang raised after the financial report.
“Personally, I think DJI does not have the strength to close the industrial chain for the time being.”
Chu Jianming spoke first: "According to the company's financial data, up to now, the chairman has personally invested in the company several times, with a total amount of more than 4000 million. However, according to the publicly available information, DJI's investment is only from the founder Wang Tao and HKU, and the rest is all supported by sales profits."
“That’s hard to say!”
Chief Financial Officer Ni Meilin was more cautious: “None of us knows whether DJI has received venture capital or has gone through angel rounds or Series A rounds.”
"should not!"
Luo Yang spoke up at this time: "I attended an investor reception in the capital some time ago and met several bigwigs, including Shen Nanpeng from Sequoia Capital. He expressed his interest in Kunpeng Technology at the time and mentioned DJI during the conversation, but there was no news about it."
This is half true and half false.
It is true that I met Shen Nanpeng, and it is also true that this big guy is interested in Kunpeng Technology.
But the two never talked about DJI.
But Luo Yang knew that DJI had never accepted venture capital from large institutions in its early days.
"If this is the case, we can preliminarily judge that DJI is unlikely to have the strength to close the industrial chain at this stage."
After Chu Jianming made this conclusion, no one in the meeting room objected.
"From a technical perspective, we can roughly judge that we are not far behind DJI."
Liu Zenghui affirmed: "At least there is no generation gap!"
No one objected to this conclusion.
"Director Ding, I need you to find out as much as possible about DJI's sales situation."
Luo Yang said to Ding Hongyi: "I need to know how much they invest in research and development without closing the industrial chain!"
"Understood. I will focus on this matter in the next stage."
Ding Hongyi responded to Luo Yang and put forward a condition: "Chairman, I need manpower to cooperate with me. Let's recruit a group of people!"
"Xiao Wei, write this down. Notify HR after the meeting and cooperate fully."
"Okay, Chairman."
"Now let's discuss the most important topic of this meeting."
After Luo Yang finished his speech, Chu Jianming, as the host, continued to push the meeting agenda forward.
“Should we lower the price of Kunpeng 1 to reduce DJI’s sales revenue, squeeze their R&D investment, and slow down their R&D progress?”
“The question of whether or not to do it is not up for discussion.”
Luo Yang followed up Chu Jianming's words and said, "It will take half a year from now until the next generation of multi-rotor prototype is ready. The company's investment in research and development will be about 3000 million. Even if DJI only needs half of that, it will still have to invest 1500 million."
His eyes swept across the conference room.
After a pause, he clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on the table.
"Even if I have to pay for it myself, I must fight this price war!"
Luo Yang made a decisive decision: "Sniper DJI's R&D progress!"
Have courage and be Don Quixote.
Monthly tickets, please give me some encouragement through monthly tickets!
