Chapter 85: The Genius Operator of the Age

Having said that, although Sun Dongnan didn't continue speaking, Li Mingyang already understood what he meant.

"What kind of competition is this?"

Although he understood, Li Mingyang still didn't really know about this, so he prepared to ask for more details.

If this competition can't fully demonstrate the performance of Peregrine Falcon One, then actually participating in it isn't very meaningful.

After all, their drone is a genuine shuttlecraft; if they went to participate in a regular drone competition, it actually wouldn't mean much for them.

After all, the design concept from the start is completely different; regular drones focus more on endurance, then flight stability.

After all, the main use of regular drones is generally to capture scenery that cannot be shot from regular angles.

Although the shuttlecraft also has a few cameras, the function of these cameras is more like eyes, allowing the operator to clearly see the environment of the aircraft.

Based on the camera, one judges how to operate the aircraft next.

"This is a world-class competition; when the time comes, drone operators from all over the world will gather here."

"Of course, this is also a natural platform for promoting new drone products, so all kinds of drones will take the opportunity to appear in the competition."

"However, after all, this is a competition, so the most watched item is still the shuttlecraft event, which happens to suit our Peregrine Falcon One."

"Moreover, we can take this opportunity to bring all our products along, even though our three models are all shuttlecraft."

"But our foundation version can also be used for regular drone purposes, after all, our standard-version drone, whether in flight altitude or endurance,"

"are enough to crush the current regular drones on the market; one would expect they could also secure a place in the regular drone market."

"Moreover, our standard-version drone has the lowest cost, about 6000 units; selling it for over 10,000, with such performance..."

Having said that, Sun Dongnan suddenly paused; from the moment he decided to hitch a ride on Li Mingyang's big ship, he had conducted detailed research on the drone market.

He found that many drones, even if their performance isn't great, still sell for high prices, with many selling for over 20,000 or even 30,000.

Their drone, although its cost isn't high, only just over 6000, but if they only sell it for just over 10,000, wouldn't that be inappropriate?

"I've thought about it, and I think even our foundation-class price should not be lower than 20,000; first, it can guarantee sufficient profit."

"Second, it can also let our drone instantly become a brand in the high-end market."

"If the product we launch initially is priced too low, it's not conducive to later brand building."

"Most importantly, the cost of our max version is too high, so its selling price will naturally be much higher; these are all drones of the same series."

"If the price difference multiple is too exaggerated, it's also not conducive to the sales and promotion of our drones."

It must be said that Sun Dongnan's research on drones is indeed quite in-depth; he has even proactively learned about the market.

"Alright, since this is a rare opportunity for us, we have no reason to let it slip."

After hearing this, Li Mingyang naturally had no idea of not supporting participation in this world-class competition; on the contrary, Li Mingyang attached great importance to this competition.

Just as Sheng Luolan said, this is a world-class competition that can be said to have attracted the attention of the vast majority of drone enthusiasts.

At least for the audience of their Peregrine Falcon One, this is the case.

And if their product can demonstrate an overwhelming advantage in this competition, then their product can directly become a hit.

Become the top-tier existence in this category of drones.

And now, there is still some time before the country can mass-produce batteries on that side.

After all, even if we renovate existing factories and modify existing assembly lines, even if we use whatever is ready, after all the scale is not small, so the required time is also not little.

So Li Mingyang can take advantage of this time to create a time gap, using this period to first establish his own drone brand.

Most importantly, this battery technology is provided by himself, and he also enjoys a high say in this company.

Merely supplying the drone division, for a huge battery company, actually isn't a large order.

Even when the batteries are later launched on the market, he can completely prevent the company from selling batteries to other drone companies, or simply sell them at a high price.

No matter what, this will keep his own drone at the highest advantage in competition with peers.

Even if you can achieve the same performance as me, but as long as your spending on battery cost remains high, your cost-performance ratio will forever be inferior to mine.

Over time, the entire market will be monopolized by his own drone category; he can completely achieve what the previous life's Great Jiang drone did.

It's even very likely to be more successful than the previous life's Great Jiang drone.

After all, the previous life's Great Jiang company didn't have such conditions and opportunities as he does now!

"However, there is still a problem that must be seriously addressed lying before us; you know, the operation difficulty of our drone is not ordinarily large."

"After all, our drone's performance is better than all drones currently on the market, even the most basic model is like that."

"To master such a performance beast, an excellent drone operator is indispensable."

"And if it's the max version, then not only can an excellent operator handle it; we must find a thoroughgoing genius."

When saying this to the end, even Li Mingyang couldn't help but bring up a few worries.

To be frank, although he has a golden finger, even if he himself goes up, he could do it.

But now the world-class competition is right before him; the characteristic of his golden finger is insufficient to give him sufficient strength before the competition.

So this problem for the current Li Mingyang is truly a thoroughgoing dilemma!

However, Sun Dongnan beside him, upon hearing this, showed a smile; he had already said earlier that he had made ample preparations to hitch a ride on Li Mingyang's big ship.

Since he proposed the suggestion to participate in the world-class competition, it's impossible that he hadn't considered this aspect.

"Junior brother, look at this; this is a genius operator who has risen in the drone circle over the past year or so, although he's just a 40-year-old kid."

"But he has already won championships in multiple national-level or even world-level drone competitions."
