In addition, UAVs are more and more widely used in industrial fields such as agriculture, fire protection, surveying and mapping, cable erection or power line patrol.
In front of Fang Zhe, Wang Tao, founder of Dajiang, pointed to a UAV test sample and introduced Fang zhe:
"President Fang, this is the mg-1 agricultural plant protection machine we are testing. It is a UAV specially developed for the field of agricultural plant protection. The maximum load capacity of this UAV is up to 10kg. It can operate 40-60mu per hour, and the efficiency is more than 40 times that of manual spraying!"
Wang Tao proudly introduced to Fang Zhe that they are eager to complete round B financing in Dajiang, partly because they hope to promote the R & D Progress of this mg-1 agricultural plant protection machine as soon as possible, and make more tentative exploration in industrial fields such as fire fighting and cable erection.
"Our UAV, with waterproof, dustproof and corrosion-resistant industrial design, can easily load any type of pesticide or liquid.
In addition, we also equipped it with an advanced intelligent system, which can set the spraying route for different terrain, automatically memorize the route breakpoints, and automatically adjust the flight altitude and flight attitude according to the terrain to ensure the spraying effect and coverage. "
After listening to Wang Tao's introduction, Fang zhe asked curiously:
"What is the estimated price of your plant protection machine?"
"About 50000 yuan!" Wang Tao gave the estimated price calculated by his team.
"50000?" Fang zhe was estimating the market situation of the price. Huang Siyi behind him asked curiously:
"Your pricing is calculated according to the cost. Is it too high?"
Wang Tao glanced at Huang Siyi and explained: "you may not know much about the agricultural plant protection UAV market. At present, the price of the same type of UAV in the market is about 100000 yuan.
A plant protection machine can operate 50 mu of land in an hour. It is common for a plant protection machine to operate 500 or 600 mu of land in a day in busy farming season, regardless of the operation time such as battery replacement and dosing.
In the market, UAVs charge about 10 yuan for each mu of land. The income of 500 or 600 mu of land per day is as high as 5000 or 6000 yuan. Basically, one busy agricultural season is enough to recover the cost of UAVs, and then work in the future, which is basically pure income.
According to the depreciation rate calculated by us, a plant protection UAV can be used for more than three years under normal circumstances. We also plan to launch maintenance, after-sales, depreciation and other supporting services after the launch of this plant protection machine, so as to help consumers prolong the service life of UAV and reduce the use cost. "
Wang Tao's answer convinced the three people present. Although there are still many problems in the domestic UAV medicine market, such as the UAV's short continuous flight time, the need to change batteries frequently, the UAV medicine effect is uneven, and sometimes farmers need to inject medicine again.
In the central and southern regions of China, due to historical reasons, many farmers' fields are not only small in number, but also quite scattered. When using UAVs for medicine, there is always a feeling that they are not having fun and are about to end. Frequent take-off and landing switches reduce the service life of UAVs.
However, in Beida wasteland and other areas where farmers have a large number of farmland and farmland is concentrated, UAV medicine has gradually become popular. Its operation efficiency is dozens of times higher than that of manpower, which is a great advantage that can not be ignored in any case.
With the land policy reform in other parts of China, agricultural centralization and modernization has become a trend. It is believed that in the next 10-20 years, agricultural UAV will become another common modern agricultural tool in the agricultural field like harvester and cultivator.
Wang Tao led Fang Zhe to see Dajiang's UAV products. After Fang Zhe's visit, Dajiang without exception got the round B investment of Huizhong and Sequoia. In this round of financing, Dajiang sold 10% of its shares at a valuation of US $1 billion and received a financing amount of US $100 million.
If you can enter the ranks of Unicorns at the time of round B financing, Dajiang's future is unlimited.
Fang zhe believes that in the next five years, the valuation of Dajiang will be increased by more than 10 times. In 10 years, even if the valuation of Dajiang is at the level of US $100 billion, it is not surprising!
"Another Unicorn enterprise was born in China! Shenzhen Dajiang innovation is a leading enterprise in the global UAV market!"
"Fang zhe made another move! US $100 million invested in this UAV enterprise!"
"Huizhong has invested in a unicorn enterprise to see what Unicorn enterprises Huizhong has invested in these years?"
"Fang zhe personally visited the door. What is the future potential of this UAV enterprise in Shenzhen?"
"Chips, cars, drones, let's see how" irresponsible "boss Fang is after Huizhong's listing!"
After new year's day, the time quietly entered 2015. The news of Dajiang's round B financing of US $100 million has attracted extensive attention in the domestic investment circle.
Over the past few years, the outlets in the domestic investment circle have basically gathered in industries deeply related to the Internet, such as mobile Internet, o2o and VR. It is the first time that an unpopular hardware high-tech company such as Dajiang has obtained such a high amount of financing and has been out of the circle for the first time, which has attracted the attention of the investment circle and the general public.
In the past, in addition to UAV enthusiasts and people in related fields, where did ordinary people know about consumer UAV products and such a UAV company as Dajiang?
Fang Zhe's high-profile visit and Dajiang's huge round B financing, like an advertisement, made Dajiang's brand popularity jump up a lot overnight. Many people even bought Dajiang's UAV products because of this news.
Yanjing Sanlitun, a freelance writer who will travel to the northwest next week, has always been one of Fang Zhe's "wives". She pays special attention to any developments and news of Fang Zhe.
In Gao Wen's view of mate selection, even if her future husband is not as excellent as Fang zhe oba, it's OK to have one percent or one thousandth of him.
A few days ago, Fang zhe ouba built cars across the border and personally came to the platform for the newly established new car building force. For Fang Zhe's heroic words of building sample cars in two years and realizing mass production in four years, Gao Wen, a die hard fan, firmly believes that Fang zhe can do it. He is a legend!
This time, Fang zhe ouba went to a UAV company in Shenzhen, and his investment was hundreds of millions of dollars. My "husband" is haoyoumuyou!
In the past, Gao Wen always thought that high-tech things such as "UAV" only existed in spy films and battlefields. She never thought that even ordinary people can buy UAVs now.
After understanding the Dajiang UAV invested by Fang zhe oba, Gao Wen had the idea of buying a UAV.
Think about how beautiful and magnificent it should be in the vast northwest desert, where a UAV shoots itself from a distant height in the sky, from far to near 360 degrees!
