Chapter 896: Polar Bear Is Doing Something Big, and Starts Selling Mode

The grudges between the polar bear and Ermao about Crimea can be traced back to a long time ago.

Since Crimea was divided into Ermao in 1991, there have been more disputes.

In the past six months, various actions between the two sides have emerged one after another.

By early March this year, the polar bear had actually controlled Crimea.

On March 21, Crimea was officially included in its arms.

Although Crimea is just an island, its geographical location is very important.

It is called the key to the Black Sea and is an important link between the Eurasian continent. It plays a very important strategic role!

In addition, although the polar bear has a coastline of 37,000 kilometers, most of it is frozen, so they have been looking for a suitable port.

Crimea is a place with a suitable climate. Sevastopol in the south is a deep-water immovable port, which is undoubtedly a natural port for polar bears.

Moreover, controlling Crimea can further control the Black Sea, which is of great significance to the import and export of energy for polar bears.

In the Middle Ages, Crimea was once the object of contention between the Byzantine Empire, Kievan Rus, the Mongol Empire and other forces.

Today, it is even more the object of contention between the polar bear and Ermao.

The polar bear ate it from Ermao, and the opinions of countries such as the United States are naturally very huge.

Now the United States regards the polar bear as its number one enemy, and China can only rank second.

Such an important stronghold has now been taken away by the polar bear, and various sanctions have immediately come out.

At the same time, the intelligence forces of relevant departments in the United States have also shifted their focus to the areas related to the polar bear and Ermao.

Especially with the changes in the situation in Crimea, various things have also occurred in some places in the east of Ermao.

Some small-scale wars continue to occur.

Since there have been many armed forces in the Middle East using various drones to fight before, almost the whole world knows the importance of drones in new operations.

Some conflicts in the east of Ermao this time are naturally closely related to drones.

And the polar bear and Ermao are also constantly expanding their drone teams.

The situation is becoming more and more tense.

"David, I suggest you all be quiet. I can't help you now."

"The forces of the relevant departments have been put into Polar Bear and Ermao. There are no personnel to arrange to inquire about other things for you."

John has been busy executing various instructions from his superiors these days.

Although the Crimean problem has erupted for a long time, the United States did not expect Polar Bear to take such action now.

So some preparations were not sufficient.

John and his team naturally have to start to make up for the loss and prepare for various possible things in the future.

Originally, it was not a big deal for David and other acquaintances to ask him for help and arrange some personnel to assist in investigating things.

However, at this special time, John is not suitable to arrange personnel to do private work.

If he wants to do it, he will have to wait for a while until the storm has passed.

But Boeing obviously can't wait any longer.

"John, this matter may also be related to the situation on the polar bear side."

"Boeing is one of the top military enterprises in the United States. If Boeing can be thrown into chaos, the polar bear can also achieve some of its goals."

David knew that if he didn't link Boeing's affairs with what John was doing now, the other party would really not help him.

Fortunately, he could easily find some excuses to give John a way out.

After all, what he said was also true.

"Do you think the various attacks on Boeing on the Internet during this period were made by the polar bear?"

John was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect David to answer him like that. "It's unlikely, right?"

Although John has made a lot of money in his pocket over the years, his personal ability is still very strong.

Otherwise, he would not be able to exert his influence among so many military giants.

This is simply the male version of a socialite.

"How can it be impossible?"

"Polar bears can do anything."

"From the situation of global arms trade last year, the United States ranked first and polar bears ranked second."

"As long as we can destroy the reputation of Boeing and plunge us into chaos, it will definitely affect the export of Boeing's various products."

"Then the polar bears can reap the benefits."

David quickly found a very good reason for himself.

Anyway, as long as John can be convinced, it will be fine.

On the American side, any content that steps on polar bears is correct.

"What you said seems to make some sense."

"I will arrange a few people to check this matter."

"But now Ermao is planning to purchase a large number of drones. Are you Boeing still not making any moves in terms of economical drones?"

As long as he can find a suitable reason, John naturally doesn't mind giving David a face.

After all, Boeing's executives used to often become the heads of relevant departments in the United States.

Who knows when David will become his colleague, or even have a higher level than him.

Be a man and leave a way for others so that we can meet again in the future.

"The products we produce at Boeing are the most advanced in the world. We don't bother to make things like children's toys."

Obviously, David knows what John is talking about.

But Boeing's focus is really not here.

Even if they also make drones, they are all high-end products.

The price of a drone is tens of millions of dollars, which is not something that Ermao and his people can equip on a large scale.

What they want is something that costs tens of thousands of dollars or even thousands of dollars.

"Okay, I got it."

"I'll contact you when there's new news."

John didn't bother with David much.

In addition to official business, he also had a lot of personal things to do.

For example, Ermao was going to buy a large number of drones. Normally, they would look for companies such as Boeing, General Atomics, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin to purchase.

But if the products of these companies are not very cost-effective, there are also opportunities for products of other companies.

He had previously arranged for his own people to set up a drone company, which specialized in importing DJI's drone products from China and then engaged in labeling business.

The entire drone, except for a few labels produced in the United States, all other parts are from China.

It just so happened that in the context of the United States suppressing DJI drones, there were no more high-quality and low-cost drone products in China.

So John's white glove company had very good performance.

Now that Ermao has money to buy drones, John naturally doesn't want to miss it.

Just mentioning this matter to David can be regarded as a preliminary confirmation of Boeing's attitude.

Obviously, these giants still don't like the drones that cost tens of thousands of dollars.

That would be the best.

"Frank, you should arrange to go to Ermao as soon as possible and have a good exchange of feelings with the person in charge of drone procurement."

Frank is John's old friend, and his white glove company is also under Frank's name.

If this company wants to get orders, it must take some actions.

As an American drone company, it has an inherent advantage in winning Ermao's orders.

Especially in the current special situation, it is even more so.

Of course, advantages are advantages, if you are reluctant to spend money, the final order will definitely have nothing to do with you.

John sees this very clearly.

"If our products are exported to Ermao after a circle, there will definitely be no advantage in the price at that time."

"When the money is spent, but the order cannot be obtained, isn't it a pity?"

Frank's vision is definitely not as good as John's.

But John is interested in Frank's loyalty and honesty. For him, this attribute is much more important than intelligence.

Otherwise, he would not have registered the company's name under Frank's name.

"Because our sales price is cheaper than DJI's own sales price, it is even more important to communicate with Ermao at this time."

"If DJI's products are sold for $5,000, Ermao won't get any benefits from any link."

"Although our products are sold for $50,000 each, every time we purchase a drone, at least $10,000 of benefits can be given to the relevant personnel at Ermao."

"In this case, do you think the price is the most critical issue?"

John has already said it so bluntly, Frank naturally understands the situation.

Others who want to give money may not be able to find the right person, but with John's ability, he can naturally find the right person at Ermao.

As long as these people are dealt with, drone orders will not be a big deal.

After all, the first batch of purchases is not a lot, and the amount is less than $100 million.

But as long as we get a head start, things will be easier in the future.

"I understand. I'll arrange for someone to book a flight and fly over as soon as possible to have a discussion."

"In order to quickly deliver related products to customers in the future, I think we can simultaneously purchase drones from China."

Although the company has been established for more than a year, John has not yet decided to let anyone really develop and produce drones independently.

So Ermao's orders will definitely be handed over to DJI for production in the end.

"No problem, get started as soon as possible."

Along with this conversation between John and Frank, a large order of 5,000 aircraft soon appeared in front of DJI.

At the same time, the number of drones ordered by other parties was significantly higher than the same period last year.

This change was naturally felt by DJI.

"Mr. Cao, our drone sales in the past half month have more than doubled compared with the same period last year."

"Among them, another company in the United States has placed a large order with us."

"I think it seems to be related to the changes in the global situation."

Although Wang Tao is a technical man and does not like to directly participate in the daily management of DJI.

But he is very clear that he needs to have a good relationship with Nanshan companies.

Not to mention that Nanshan Investment is an important shareholder of DJI, many key components of DJI drones are purchased from Nanshan companies.

In addition, the rapid increase in the initial sales of DJI drones is also closely related to the Nanshan system.

Whether it is the orders purchased by relevant departments of China or the orders from the big dog customers, they are all closely related to the swarm tactics developed by the double-tailed scorpion drones of Venusstar Technology.

The Scorpion drone is the queen bee, and the DJI drone is the daughter bee. When they go out together, the strike effect is amazing.

The dog owners even place additional orders every year.

As for the orders from the relevant departments of China, it goes without saying.

It is impossible that the excellent drones produced by China's own enterprises have been exported overseas in large quantities, but they are not used domestically, right?

"The conflict between the polar bear and Ermao has already brought America and Europe into the game."

"The situation in the east of Ermao is also quite complicated, and various armed forces are ready to move."

"Mr. Wang, this is a great opportunity for DJI drones to further expand the market."

"Although drone enthusiasts are our very important customers, the needs of these battlefields are even more important occasions for the large-scale consumption of drones."

"As long as we thoroughly establish a reputation in this area, we don't need to worry about future sales."

Cao Yang is very clear about the important role of DJI drones on the battlefield.

In large-scale battles, this type of drone may not play a role in subverting the situation.

But in local conflicts, even in some street battles, the role of drones is greatly magnified.

Obviously, the world is not likely to have large-scale wars for the time being.

However, various small-scale conflicts have never stopped.

Chinese people have a weaker feeling in this regard, because everyone lives in a peaceful country and always feels that the whole world should be like this.

In fact, if calculated by the number of countries, half of the land may have nothing to do with peace.

"That's true, but we will continue to emphasize to our customers that DJI is a civilian enterprise, and any product we develop is not developed for military use."

Wang Tao has obviously learned Cao Yang's spirit of survival very successfully.

As a company that wants to go global, it is obviously disadvantageous to have an additional label of an arms company.

Both Cao Yang and Wang Tao see this clearly.

Besides, DJI's drone products are indeed developed for civilian use, and they did not lie.

It's just that they are so excellent that they were finally favored by relevant departments.

Just when Wang Tao finished communicating with Cao Yang, Zhao Tianling of AVIC also called Cao Yang.

Everyone was busy with work, so Zhao Tianling got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Cao, we at AVIC have some of our own networks in Ermao and neighboring countries."

"Now there is a strong demand for drones and micro-missiles there."

"Are you interested in working with AVIC to make a big splash?"

Where there is conflict, the arms trade will be even more popular.

This is a truth that has not changed for thousands of years.

The situation in Ermao is bound to stimulate the surrounding arms consumption market.

As the leading enterprise in China's aviation industry, AVIC naturally wants to get a piece of the pie.

After all, it is now a market economy. In addition to the funding from above, AVIC also hopes to be able to carry out some revenue-generating projects through its own efforts.

Only in this way can some independently carried out R&D projects have more financial support.

Otherwise, if you rely on the project funding from relevant departments every day, life is actually not easy.

A good cook cannot cook without rice.

"Mr. Zhao is willing to take us out, so of course I'm interested."

"I just don't know what the main products will be?"

Although cooperating with AVIC will definitely take away some of the profits.

But they have the resources and connections in this area. If we don't cooperate, we may not make any money.

After all, Nanshan-based companies are just latecomers, and their foundation in some areas is relatively weak.

Unlike AVIC, which has been working for decades.

Regardless of how many people they have, at least they have figured out the tricks.

Otherwise, you don't know who to give gifts to even if you want to.

Similar situations can be encountered in many daily lives in later generations.

For example, your child wants to go to a good primary school, but your degree is not in this place.

If you want to get it done, it is not impossible.

The key is that you have to find someone who can do it and give the money you should give.

It's just this one problem that can stump most people.

Some people don't have money, and some people have money but don't know who to give it to to get it done.

Similarly, when recruiting some personnel, it's similar.

In order to get into a company or unit, a lot of people are willing to spend money.

The key is that if you are willing to spend money, you have to find a place to spend it.

Without someone to lead the way, even if you know who to give it to, people dare not accept it.

"We provide what they want."

"Although our technical strength in some fields is not the most advanced in the world, our product range is absolutely very complete."

"As long as customers need it, we can provide relevant products at any time."

"Of course, I guess they will be more interested in things like the twin-tailed scorpion drone, unmanned helicopter and micro missiles."

"And your vehicle-mounted active phased array radar, I think the sales volume is also worth looking forward to."

Zhao Tianling did not beat around the bush and directly gave his judgment.

Since everyone wants to make money together, they should make it clear.

Don't guess and guess, and finally mess things up by your own people, it would be a pity.

"This is indeed a good opportunity, we will fully cooperate with AVIC."

This is obviously a good thing, Cao Yang will definitely not refuse.

To make money from war, Venus Technology also wants to.

…

"Graba, the demand for drones in China is very strong now, and many departments have such needs."

"Among the Nanshan companies that we deal with more often, there are related drone products that meet our needs."

"I think we can import a large batch and then sell them in China."

As a person from the Polar Bear Import and Export Corporation, Prius still has a keen sense of market changes.

Although even if he doesn't take the initiative to find some business to do, he can live a good life just by the business commissioned by domestic companies.

But no one will complain about living too well.

For a market like this that they have developed themselves, the profit margin is definitely much higher.

Especially for cost-effective drone products, it is not an exaggeration to double the price.

It's not like the business commissioned by some large domestic companies, which can only earn a little management fee.

"The products of Venusstar Technology and DJI drones are both leaders in this field. We have been exposed to this kind of things before."

"Since you also think that drones have a big market in China, then we will buy some."

Groba will naturally not make money.

In recent years, the drone products of Venusstar Technology and DJI Drone have become famous in the industry.

Before, their company also purchased a batch on a small scale.

But at that time, they purchased for some domestic manufacturers.

This time, the situation is different. They took the initiative to purchase and then communicated with domestic customers to see who needs these products.

Considering the current situation of polar bears in the south, Groba is not worried that these products will have no market.

"I plan to communicate with some domestic customers and remind them of some special uses of these drones."

"Who knows, someone may be interested in buying drones in bulk from us and then reselling them."

"As long as this situation opens up, the number of drones needed will definitely have an explosive growth."

"Even if the profit of each drone is not particularly large, the final profit will be amazing after the number increases."

Seeing that his proposal was recognized by Groba, Prius became more motivated.

The company's profits are good, and the bonus at the end of the year will be more.

More importantly, with good profits, the control of various funds will not be so strict.

Many projects that might not have been reimbursed before can now be reimbursed.

"The specific operation is left to you."

"I only look at the results!"

"In addition to drones, there may be some other special equipment needs in the south that cannot be produced domestically. We can consider importing them from China."

"If we prepare the product in advance before the relevant departments put forward the demand, maybe it can bring us unexpected surprises at that time."

Groba's current focus is on the conflict in the south.

There are all kinds of huge opportunities there.

As long as you grasp it well, not only can the company's business go to the next level, but your position under your butt may also move up.

This is what Groba cares about very much.

When the things that the leader cares about and the things that the people working below care about are often not completely consistent, or even completely different.
