From arms dealer to king of war

He walked into the cage and picked up a little lion whose spots had not faded. He put it in his arms and asked Dorian to take a photo for him. Then he happily took a video with Danbao and sent it To his younger brother Qiao Liang, whom he had not contacted for several months.

Evening in Central Africa happens to be noon in China.

Not long after Qiao Jia's message was sent, Qiao Liang made a video call.

After the call was connected, Qiao Jia saw that not only was his brother there, but there were also several curious men and women crowding around him.

Seeing the little lions crawling all over the ground and the adorable Danbao, a baby-faced girl with a slightly chubby face grabbed Qiao Liang's arm and let out a scream...

"Ah, so cute, Qiao Liang, I want to go, I want to go, take me there, you must take me there, I will buy my own ticket and book a hotel, you take me with you..."

Seeing his younger brother grinning and nodding in response to the fat girl's request amidst the cheers of the people around him, Qiao Jia pursed his lips and said, "Who is this?"

When Qiao Liang heard this, he quickly grabbed the enthusiastic fat girl and said with a dry smile: "Brother, this is my classmate. Her name is Tong Tong. Her hometown is the capital of our province. Hehe..."

Qiao Jia looked at the expression on his brother's face and knew that this boy was in love.

Looking at Qiao Liang's clothes, Qiao Jia knew that his brother's habit of being frugal had not changed.

In the early years, in order to take care of his parents in the hospital, Qiao Liang lived on almost every penny. His stinginess was so stingy that Qiao Jia, an elder brother, couldn't stand it.

When Qiao Jia got rich, he kept sending him money, not much. He sent him 5,000 US dollars every month just to let him return to normal college life. It was best to change his stingy habits, otherwise he would really not be able to find him. girlfriend.

Qiao Jia never imagined that his brother's illness might not seem to be cured, but he would actually find a girlfriend.

Although this girl named Tong Tong can only be described as average in appearance, her personality seems to be very outgoing and enthusiastic. She is a little chubby, but she has a nice smile.

Qiao Jia smiled and said hello to Tong Tong, and said: "Come if you want, and decide on a day when I will buy you air tickets. I am now in Central Africa and am preparing to invest in a resort. There are many animals here, which is just suitable for enthusiastic girls. Come and show your love."

As he spoke, Qiao Jia glanced at the environment opposite him and said to Qiao Liang, "Why aren't you at school? Today is not a holiday either."

After hearing this, Qiao Liang scratched his flat head and said with a smile: "Brother, didn't you ask me about solar drones? It happens that one of my senior brothers and his mentor are engaged in the development of this area, so I I begged my teacher to introduce me to their project team. If I want to learn something, I can also help you and ask about it."

As he spoke, Qiao Liang introduced several young people around him to Qiao Jia, and then specially dragged a man who looked to be in his thirties with glasses and said: "Brother, this is my senior brother Yang Guanghui, he is the solar energy The actual person in charge of the drone project.

Senior Brother Yang’s technology is very powerful, and I learned a lot from him. He has always wanted to use solar-powered drones for communication relay projects. It is said that this project has great prospects in many third world countries. If it develops well, it may be A low-end version of the Starlink system. "

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, and then sighed with emotion that these young people really dare to think!

Developed countries will not let your large solar drones fly around, but third world countries do not have this problem.

However, this thing is unstable and cannot operate for a long time like a satellite. How many drones are needed to build an effective communication network and maintain long-term operation.

With this money, why not find someone to build a base station?

These young people dare to think and act, but they have obviously found the wrong target. They should be targeting the military and police departments.

With the long endurance of solar drones and the advantages of simple maintenance, as long as they are equipped with advanced visual systems, there is no problem in recommending them to the border patrol of any country.

Qiao Liang and the others are all excellent college students. It is impossible that they do not understand this truth, so he said with a smile: "Third-world countries cannot maintain this kind of thing. Other communication companies are eager to pay money to enter and seize the market. You can sell this to who?

Why not contact the people in the border defense force, maybe you can get some sponsorship or something. As long as this thing can really fly, even if it can only fly for 10 hours, it will be more affordable than those high-precision drones. "

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment by Qiao Jia's words, and then Yang Guanghui, who was beside him, adjusted his glasses and said slightly depressed: "They already have..."

As he spoke, Yang Guanghui patted Qiao Liang on the shoulder, then looked at Qiao Liang on the phone and said, "The main purpose of our project is not to design a drone, but to design a sharing system for a modern city.

A big city with a population of three million only needs three drones to achieve signal tracking and coverage.

This smart sharing system can integrate all idle items in the city and then make them profitable...

…………

………”

Qiao Jia listened in confusion, because Yang Guanghui said many powerful-sounding words later. He knew every word, but he couldn't understand them when they were connected together.

Qiao Jia didn't know much about Internet technology, but his business had been going smoothly recently, so he instinctively realized that Yang Guanghui was borrowing the school's drone funds to develop his so-called intelligent sharing system.

This has little to do with Qiao Jia, because he is only interested in solar-powered drones.

As Qiaojia's territory becomes larger and larger, his needs for communication and reconnaissance will become higher and higher, otherwise the combat efficiency of his special operations team will definitely decrease.

The most important thing is that the Toucan is always sent out for reconnaissance, which is starting to make the 'Cobra' a little tired.

Looking at the young people on the other side of the phone, they nodded frequently, some were non-committal, and my brother was very calm.

At this time, Qiao Jia knew that Qiao Liang had his own ideas in mind.

He knew his younger brother too well. The two brothers' experiences had caused them to mature earlier than the average person. Because they were particularly concerned about money, they had their own set of views on money.

Qiao Jia is keen on making money and is not stingy about spending money at the same time, while Qiao Liang is keen on saving money and just thinks about how to spend money wisely.

In terms of clear mind, stinginess with money, and practical character, Qiao Liang is far superior to Qiao Jia.

Yang Guanghui's set of things couldn't impress Qiao Liang at all. In fact, anything whose purpose was to attract investment and make money couldn't impress Qiao Liang.

This kid's idea is to get involved in this project team, figure out the technology of solar drones, and try to learn more and help Qiao Jia.

And now Yang Guanghui is so enthusiastic because he sees that Qiao Jia seems to be quite rich and wants to see if he can get some investment.

This is a typical case of using the school's resources to build your own project under the skin of a project.

As long as he finds interested investors, Yang Guanghui can pull his intelligent sharing platform out of the school's drone project as a separate project.

After Yang Guanghui finished talking about his thoughts, Qiao Jia smiled and said: "It's a very advanced idea. I don't understand it very well, but I think it's very powerful."

After saying that, Qiao Jia stood up and walked out of the lion cage, turned the camera of his mobile phone in a circle, and said with a smile: "Did you see what I'm doing here?

I acquired an animal rescue center, and this rescue center will continue to operate in the future. I really need drones and supporting communication systems here. After all, this national park is too big.

Are you still short of funds for this drone project?

If you are willing, you can come to my place and have a look. After an on-site inspection, as long as it is useful to me, I can fund your research on solar drones.

Afika does not need shared software, but you are all computer students. The UAV control system and reconnaissance system require a set of professional software and hardware. If you are interested, you should work hard on this, I am sure I won't let your work go in vain. "

Qiao Jia's words were cryptic, but his meaning was expressed clearly.

That is, he is not interested in Yang Guanghui's scheme, but he is very interested in solar drones and control systems, and can help them improve their software and hardware.

This is a business deal. I will fund your research and then purchase your results. Although the exact amount is not specified, this is already very attractive to a group of college students.

Because this big brother didn’t say he wanted to take away the project, he only wanted the results.

The commercialization prospects of this thing are not very good, because solar drones have limitations, and they will definitely not be able to compete with giants with backgrounds from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in terms of technology and channels. However, even if there are one or two civilian orders a year, It is enough for these young people to eat and drink.

Qiao Jia's thinking is very simple. He just wants to see if his brother is interested. If he is interested and can build a team by himself, then Qiao Jia will definitely not hesitate to invest money in it.

DJI started from a small workshop and became the leader in drones. Qiao Liang did not catch up with the good times, but as long as he had a customer like his brother, he could support the company.

As long as the product is proven to be qualified, Qiao Liang can't sell it on his own, so why can't Qiao Jia still be able to sell it?

Search and rescue, coastal patrol, border patrol, weather detection, environmental monitoring...

This thing has a wide range of uses!

And its core competitiveness is not simply the solar drone itself, but the control software. That is what needs to be considered, because there are a lot of uncertainties in the sky, and currently no solar drone can truly Achieve 'no landing'.

There are many problems that need to be solved, and the main part lies in software.

DJI makes drones fool-proof, which is the most important reason for their success.

Solar drones are currently unable to do this because they need to carry a large number of solar panels, so their aerodynamic structure and power are limited.

This requires parallel development of software and hardware so that it can automatically adjust itself when encountering problems. Otherwise, it will be difficult to attract customers for this kind of ‘disposable drone’ that may crash at any time.

Qiao Jia was giving Qiao Liang test questions in disguise, hoping to enrich his college life, but he didn't expect that this kid was much smarter than he thought...

"Brother, I will go to your place in a few days to have a look. I will contact you after I have applied for the visa."

After saying that, Qiao Liang hung up the video, and when Qiao Jia was confused, Qiao Liang sent him a photo, and asked Qiao Jia to pat his head, and sighed with emotion that the brains of young people are really good... …
