Even Yang Fan, who has a very rich knowledge and understanding of flying machines and model aircraft, has been unable to start the development of the small high-speed UAV requested by Wu Hao because he does not know where to start.
Although this small high-speed drone is small, about the size of an adult's palm, it contains too much technology. In addition to the control technology for building a cluster array network, there is also intelligent flight control technology, target detection, identification and guidance attack technology, and even ammunition technology for attacks, etc.
Cluster array control technology is no problem, Wu Hao and the others have experience. The two technologies of flight control technology and reconnaissance, identification and guidance attack technology are not just at the hardware or software level. Only a two-pronged approach can solve the problem.
What Wu Hao is now waiting for is that Yang Fan can solve the hardware problems. The first is to achieve accurate and rapid detection of the surrounding environment or obstacles by the drone. Only by detecting the surrounding environment can the drone avoid colliding with these obstacles.
The same applies to target detection, identification and guidance attack technology, how to find and identify enemies, how to detect and identify camouflaged enemies, how to find and identify some light vehicles, mortars, rocket launchers and other targets.
In fact, relevant technologies are currently on the market, but how to integrate all these technologies into a drone with a very limited payload is a problem they face.
So after Yang Fan took over the project, he locked himself in the laboratory and did not leave the laboratory door for a week.
But Wu Hao can't. Although he also wants to concentrate on research, there are still many things waiting for him to deal with.
The most important thing at hand, or the most concerning thing, is their 618 promotion. Although this is not the most important promotional event of the year, it has attracted more and more attention from major platforms, and they are increasingly turning it into a mid-year promotion event.
Therefore, it has also attracted the attention of many businesses, including various technology companies. Technology products such as home appliances, mobile phones, and digital products have become the top priority of this promotional festival.
Compared with the tens of millions of marketing efforts of other digital products, Wu Hao and his company's promotion and marketing expenses of one to two million are not worth mentioning at all.
Of course, the popularity of their products is still there, and they have been selling like hotcakes since they were launched. So after hearing that they will participate in this promotion festival, consumers who are still waiting to see this smart voice assistant are very much looking forward to it.
How big a discount can be, this is the question that everyone is most concerned about. But they never announced the intensity of the discount, and it wasn’t until midnight on June 18 that the price came out.
When the consumers who were watching saw the price of 1,498, they immediately became excited. The discount is nearly 200 yuan, which is already a lot for an electronic product that costs more than 1,000 yuan.
So just one minute after the sale started, both their official website mall and the direct-operated stores of several major online shopping platforms were crowded and paralyzed. It was not until they and several major online shopping platforms conducted emergency maintenance that things returned to normal.
Eleven minutes and fifty-one seconds after the sale started, Zhang Jun, who was monitoring the sales status, stood up first and screamed with excitement.
Not to be outdone, everyone else stood up and cheered to celebrate. As for Wu Hao, he breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the numbers on the screen, then stood up and watched the excited crowd applaud.
One hundred thousand units, one hundred thousand units were shipped in about ten minutes, and the sales volume of 1.5 billion can definitely stand out among the others in this time period.
Wu Hao took out his mobile phone, pointed it at the numbers on the big screen, took a photo, and then posted it on his Weibo: "You can sleep peacefully now."
Later, the official Weibo also retweeted his Weibo and said naughtily: "Boss, your treat is for the celebration party!"
"No problem, each person can bring one family member, and you can choose the location." Wu Hao immediately replied.
The interaction between Wu Hao and his official blog also attracted ridicule and congratulations from a group of fans, and even forwarded reports by some media.
Some people are happy and others are worried, such as the major mobile phone brands participating in this promotion. Because the pressure of competition is huge, everyone is now nervously watching the sales of their products.
When they saw the celebratory photos posted by Wu Hao, these people were envious and jealous at the same time. They were all wondering why they didn't have this popular product.
"150,000 units!" Zhang Jun shouted again at the 27th minute.
"Two hundred thousand units, I'll treat you to the supper tonight, everyone can order whatever you want!" Zhang Jun said with a big wave of his hand.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang, long live Mr. Zhang!"
Looking at the excited people, Wu Hao stood up, stretched and said to Zhang Jun next to him: "You continue to guard, I'm going back to sleep."
Hearing this, Zhang Jun quickly looked at him with surprise and said, "You go back to sleep at such a critical moment. Can you sleep?"
"Why can't you sleep? Let's go!" Wu Hao waved his hand and walked outside.
Seeing this, Zhang Jun raised his voice and said, "Let's go, don't you care about the sales situation?"
"Whether I am here or not has nothing to do with sales. Let's go and see the results tomorrow." Looking at the people who were still looking at him, Wu Hao smiled and raised his voice and said: "Everyone organizes taking turns to rest. The day is still long. .I’ll leave first and bring you breakfast tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, Wu Hao turned around and left. It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that he's not as excited as others. So if he had time, he might as well go back to sleep and rest. These days, he is either doing research with Yang Fan in the laboratory, or dealing with some company matters.
Now that he finally has a good result, he can rest assured and have a good sleep.
According to the current situation, their sales during this promotional festival should reach 500,000 units, which has far exceeded the expected target of 250,000 units.
This is something to be happy about, but it also brings troubles.
For example, for Zhang Jun, the greater the number of sales this time, the more painful his heart will be. For this guy who is stingy and greedy for money, the discount of nearly 200 yuan for each device is definitely more painful than cutting his flesh. What's more, this is more than 100 million.
For manufacturers and foundries that are already running at full capacity, this is undoubtedly adding insult to injury. It is true that huge orders will definitely bring them huge benefits. But the order is too big to bear, which is definitely a kind of torture.
Although Great Wall had already made relevant preparations before this promotional festival, and even temporarily freed up several production lines from other products. But judging from the current situation, this is far from enough.
Taking into account that Vice President Huang, who had been guarding the production line, started to curse again after getting this number.
