After understanding 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 used in the Middle East. It can withstand intense competition.

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 it...two million for one!"

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

Many people tried their best to pick out their ears to see if they heard correctly.

The United States, General Atomics, manufactures a Predator and sells it to the US military for US$15 million. This drone from Infinity Company is so powerful that it only costs US$2 million?

The price was so cheap that the people in the assembly department couldn’t believe they had picked it up!

Several accompanying officials looked like they were ready to make a move and wanted to sign the contract right away.

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

?”

As one of the few people who has unimpeded access to the Infinite Company campus, Director Zhang can be said to be the external person who knows the Infinite Company best. He usually knows all about the new projects in the laboratory and how many assembly lines have been added.

What's more, a bottle of two million U.S. dollars, based on the current foreign exchange rate of 8.6, is equivalent to more than 17 million yuan!

Such a drone was built with money!

They can't afford it themselves!

"Ahem, Director Zhang, Awei said two million yuan. You have all misunderstood. Our automation equipment is already very complete. How can we spend millions of dollars to make a drone? This is not consistent.

Our company’s consistent style…”

"What's more, we didn't make drones to make money. We just happened to have suitable materials in the materials laboratory, so we extended the use and then tried them on the battlefield in the Middle East. Unexpectedly, the results were pretty good.

.”

"Since you are in need, we thought about it a lot and decided to use the money we earn in the Middle East to subsidize the losses from selling to you. It's a good idea."

Lin Zeju's words sounded like Mimou Huhu.

However, everyone understands that although the parts on this drone use automated equipment, the manufacturing cost is more than 3 million yuan per unit. Now it is sold to them for only 2 million yuan.

He won't earn any of the money he earned from Saddam, and plans to subsidize all of it!

Everyone who heard his words were moved.

What a good entrepreneur, how much loss he made in order to help the country!

Those who were initially dissatisfied with the Infinite Company for selling such advanced equipment to the Yinlac people are now unable to say a word.

Is it possible for others to make such a huge sacrifice?

Minister Cen said nothing, held Lin Zeju's hand tightly, and then said: "We are all from the mainland of Xiangjiang. Originally, you were not allowed to privately sell materials that could be used for military purposes!"

"However, we know your intentions, so we won't blame you harshly. As for our purchase quantity, we will make overall arrangements based on your price and report to the superiors!"

"What is not allowed is simply illegal!" Chen Weidong muttered to himself, but still expressed his position: "Minister Cen, I know this is wrong, but as a patriotic young man, seeing that our equipment is not good, I felt

Urgent! Thank you uncles and uncles for understanding our difficulties!"

A staff officer suddenly joked: "Your technical strength is so strong, why don't you help us get more high-tech equipment, and we can win external sales orders for you. In this way, we can achieve mutual benefit, and you

What do you think?"

"Ah this...this..." Chen Weidong's eyes widened and he was speechless.

This is coming again!

If it really passes through your hands, we won't even be able to drink the soup. Wouldn't it be a big loss!

....

That afternoon, several representatives from Infinity Company and General Assembly signed a series of cooperation plans.

The General Assembly Department initially decided to order 300 improved drones.

We will then make adjustments based on Saudi Arabia's requirements.

One very important point in the contract is that Infinite Company needs to make some changes to the appearance, painting and coating of the Peregrine 2 drone to avoid being found to be too similar to the drone used by Yin Jun.

Even in all aspects of performance, it has to be a little worse. If you slowly upgrade it later, you can sell it at a higher price.

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

Moreover, they will privately inform the Saudi representatives that this is a "copycat" product of the "Peregrine 2" drone.

In this way, many unnecessary incidents can be avoided.

Chen Weidong and Lin Zeju were both dumbfounded. They did not expect that one day they would need to copy their own products and OEM them for others. However, despite this, they still issued these key requirements to the drone project team.

It is worth mentioning here.

Chen Weidong and others, through a series of operations, sold drones to Saddam and made a net profit of more than one billion U.S. dollars after deducting various costs.

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 certain parts.

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

The maximum number is tens of millions, and the minimum number is hundreds of thousands.

In this era, it is already a huge sum of money.

Of course, each person's bonus amount is divided based on their contribution to the project and the value they create. There is a set of very rigorous calculation methods, and the most detailed evaluation is carried out by professionals from the academic committee.

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

There are many researchers who have become rich directly because of a project.

The era when "the income from doing scientific research was not as high as from selling tea eggs" is gone forever.

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