Chapter 90
Boss, are we finally ready to launch our drone?
Li Mingyang acted quickly; since he had already made up his mind to get the drone company off the ground, naturally everything was better done sooner rather than later.
So, as soon as Sun Dongnan and Li Yang returned, Li Mingyang immediately sent the company's address to both of them.
At the same time, the entire factory began operating at full speed, and Li Mingyang had full confidence in his drone.
Although this small factory isn't very large, the number of drones it can produce each day isn't especially high.
Under a normal eight-hour work schedule, the factory can produce about 500 drones per day.
But Li Mingyang didn't rush to expand the production line right away, because he knew that no matter which company, the beginning is always relatively difficult.
Moreover, producing 500 units per day is actually a huge number, isn't it?
Even excluding holidays and such, assuming 300 working days per year, a year's time is enough to produce 150,000 drones.
With that many drones, it's already remarkable that this newly founded company could sell all of its products.
After all, their products are not cheap, and the drones they manufacture are not the most common, widely used type.
Even just this output level, Li Mingyang is still worried in his heart about whether he can sell that many products.
"That's right, the factory has officially started up, and our company's drones are performing quite impressively."
"But after all, we are a company that has just been established, with no reputation in the market, so all we can do is seize the current trend."
"Let's take advantage of the current heat to launch our products first, and preferably get our company up and running."
"As for other matters, we can discuss them later; our primary product for now will definitely be in the shuttlecraft area."
"However, we can't neglect research on ordinary drones either; we'll just leave those to you to handle later."
"After all, my main focus isn't on this, but if we run into any difficult problems, I don't mind joining in the research."
"So, Senior Brother Sun, your next task is simple; our Harbin Institute of Technology already has deep expertise in this area."
"And since we all come from Harbin Institute of Technology, and we're not short on funds now, couldn't we directly recruit a batch of talent from the school?"
"Let's not talk about other things for now; at least let's get our research team started, because an excellent research team will be the soul of our company in the future."
"After all, no matter how capable a person is, their energy is limited, and our company is destined to launch all kinds of products in the future."
"We can't possibly have me research and design all these products ourselves, so..."
Saying this, Li Mingyang paused, then solemnly patted Sun Dongnan on the shoulder:
"So although our company has just been founded and everything is still in the early stage, Senior Brother Sun, the task you will shoulder next is not easy."
"Whether it's the control system or the aircraft design itself, these jobs require various kinds of talent to undertake."
"Senior Brother Sun, your upcoming task is to get our company's research department officially up and running."
After finishing assigning the task to Shen Dongnan, Li Mingyang turned his head to look at Li Yang beside him, a young fellow whose name differs from his by only one character.
Li Mingyang still values this little guy quite a bit, and after this competition, he still values various competitions quite a bit.
Just like an automobile or motorcycle group, if they want to make a name for themselves right away, their choice is undoubtedly to participate in world-class competitions.
And to achieve impressive results in the competition, besides the vehicle's own performance, having an excellent racer is also very important.
The same goes for their drone company, and in the future they are destined to have more and more products in their hands.
Just like this time's Nanjing World Drone Competition, although they only have the Peregrine Series, this series actually consists of three completely different drones.
If they could have three excellent operators on hand, then in the competition they could perfectly showcase the performance of all three of their drone models.
So besides the research team, an excellent operations team is also very important.
"You little brat, I heard from your parents that you're not very interested in studying, but fortunately you do have a high talent for drone flight."
"As they say, in every trade there can be a top scholar; studying is certainly not the only way out."
"So your task from now on is to be responsible for pulling together a professional drone operations team for the company, and later, using our company's products, to make a name for yourselves worldwide."
……
The launch event was set for 9 a. m. three days later; although their company had little fame online, at least the drone's reputation was still respectable.
And as fate would have it, Li Mingyang happens to be a damned rich person, and software like Douyin basically all have pay-to-win features.
With a wave of Li Mingyang's hand, a full 5 million in funds was scattered, all for the purpose of promoting their drones and this launch event.
So when the time came for the launch event day, with the intentional cooperation of Ice City officials, the venue almost gathered domestic media of all sizes.
There were self-media and official media, basically filling the entire venue to capacity.
As for this launch event, Li Mingyang had no intention of personally taking the stage; as a researcher, he preferred to stay low-key.
And the drone is merely a pawn he casually placed in his career; it's not worth Li Mingyang investing too much energy into it.
As long as it can operate normally, as long as it can provide him with a steady stream of funds in the future, that's enough.
……
"So, the goal of our Ten Thousand Borders Drone is…… faster, higher, stronger!"
"And our launched Peregrine Series undoubtedly perfectly interprets these three words!"
Watching Sun Dongnan on stage, full of vigor, his radiant figure, Li Mingyang quietly stood in the corner of the venue, paying attention to the overall situation, and couldn't help but sketch a faint smile.
I really didn't expect that this Senior Brother Sun of mine, besides being outstanding in computers, would also handle such a big occasion in an unexpectedly impressive way!
