Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 690 Financing $100 Million

In addition, the use of drones in industrial fields such as agriculture, fire protection, surveying and mapping, cable laying or power patrols has also become more widespread.

Right in front of Fang Zhe, Wang Yu, founder of Dajiang, pointed to a sample of drone tests and introduced Fang Zhe:

“Mr. Fang, this is the MG-1 agricultural plant protection machine we are testing. It is a drone that we have developed specifically for the field of agricultural plant protection. The maximum load of this drone is up to 10 kg, and it can operate from 40 to 60 mu per hour. It is more than 40 times more efficient than manual spraying!"

Wang Yu introduced himself to Fangchul. Part of the reason why they are anxious to complete the B-round financing is that they hope to push forward the research and development progress of this MG-1 agricultural plant protection machine as soon as possible, while doing more experimental exploration in industrial fields such as fire protection and cable erection.

“Our drones are waterproof, dustproof and corrosion-resistant, industrial-grade designs that can easily load any type of pesticide or liquid.

In addition, we are equipped with an advanced intelligence system that can set spray routes for different terrain, automatically remember route breakpoints, and automatically adjust flight altitude and flight posture according to terrain to ensure spray effect and coverage. ”

After listening to Wang Yu's introduction, Fang Zhe asked curiously:

“What is the estimated selling price of your plant protection machine?"

“Around 50,000 RMB!" Wang Yu gave an estimate of the price calculated before their team.

“50,000?" Fang Zhe inner, estimating the market situation of this price, Huang Siyi behind him asked curiously:

“Your pricing is based on cost, is it too high?"

Wang Yu glanced at Huang Siyi and explained: "You may not know much about the agricultural plant protection drone market. Currently, the price of the same type of drone plant protection in the market is around 100,000 yuan.

A plant protection machine can operate 50 acres of land in an hour, throw away battery changes, drug additions and other operating times. During peasant season, it is common for a plant protection machine to operate 500 or 600 acres of land a day.

In the market, the drone charges about 10 yuan per acre, and the income of five or six hundred acres is as high as five or six thousand yuan a day. Basically, a busy farming season is enough to recover the cost of the drone, and then work in the future, basically it is a net profit.

At our calculated depreciation rate, a plant protection drone can be used for more than three years under normal circumstances. We also plan to launch repair, after-sales, depreciation and other ancillary services after this plant protection drone is released online, to help consumers extend the life of the drone as much as possible and reduce the cost of use. ”

Wang Yu's answer convinced the three people present. Despite the current situation in the domestic drone drug market, there are still many problems, such as the short duration of the drone flight, the need for frequent battery changes, the effects of drones on drug dispensing are uneven, and in some cases farmers need to dispense drugs twice.

In the central and southern regions of China, for historical reasons, many farmers' fields are not only small in number, but quite scattered. When using drones for medicine, there is always a feeling that it is about to end. Frequent take-off and landing switches reduce the service life of drones.

However, drone medicine has gradually begun to become popular in areas with a large number of farmland for farmers, such as the North Great Wilderness, which is dozens of times more efficient than artificial medicine, which is a great advantage that cannot be ignored in any way.

With the land policy reform in other parts of the country, agricultural centralization and modernization have become a trend. It is believed that in the next 10-20 years, agricultural drones will surely become like harvester tillage machines and another common modern agricultural tool in the agricultural field.

Wang Yu led Fang Zhe several people to look at the drone products of Dajiang. After Fang Zhe visited, Dajiang also received the investment of Huizhong and Sequoia in Round B without exception. This round of financing, Dajiang valued at $1 billion, transferred 10% shares to get the financing amount of $100 million.

The future of Dajiang is unlimited and can enter the unicorn ranks at the time of financing round B.

Fang Zhe believes that in the next 5 years, the valuation of Dajiang will be enough to improve more than 10 times. Ten years later, the valuation of Dajiang will not be unusual even to reach the level of hundreds of billions of dollars!

“Another unicorn enterprise was born in China! Shenzhen Dajiang Innovation, the leading enterprise in the global drone market!"

“Fang Zhe is back! $100 million to invest in this drone business!"

“Huizheng has invested in another unicorn enterprise to see what unicorn enterprises Huizheng has invested over the years?"

“Fang Zhe himself went to the door to think about the future potential of this drone enterprise in Shenzhen City."

“Chips, automobiles, drones, come to see how many boss Fang has“ no business "after the Huizhou market!"

After New Year's Day, time slipped into 2015, and news of the financing of USD 100 million in round B of Dajiang attracted widespread attention in the domestic investment circle.

Throughout the past few years, the vents in the domestic investment circle have basically been piled up in the mobile Internet, O 2 O, VR industries that are not deeply connected to the Internet, hardware and high-tech companies like Dajiang, it is the first time to obtain such a high level of financing, and it is the first time that it is out of the circle, attracting the attention of the investment circle and the general public.

In the past, apart from drone enthusiasts and people in related fields, how do people know about consumer-grade drone products and the drone company like Dajiang?

This high-profile tour of Fang Zhe and the huge B-round financing of Dajiang, like an advertisement, made the brand popularity of Dajiang rise a lot overnight. Many people even bought the drone products of Dajiang because of this news.

Yan Jingsanlitun, Gao Wen, a freelance writer who will travel to the northwest next week to write, has always been one of Fang Zhe's “old women”. She is particularly concerned about any developments and news about Fang Zhe.

In Gao Wen's view of choosing a spouse, even if her future husband is not as good as Fang Zhe Oba, he can have one percent, one thousand.

A few days ago, Fang Zheouba built cars across the border, personally for the newly established car construction force Wei Lai platform. For Fang Zhe to build a prototype car in two years and realize mass production in four years, Gao Wen, an iron fan, firmly believes that Fang Zhe can do it, he is a legend!

This time, Fang Zheouba went to a drone company in Shenzhen, and the investment amount is hundreds of millions of dollars. My “old man” is a trench with trees!

In the past, Gao Wen had always thought that high-tech things like “drones” existed only in movie spy films and battlefields. She never thought that even ordinary people could buy drones now.

After Geoba's investment in the Dajiang drone made the best understanding, Gao Wen's inner mind began to think about buying a drone.

Think of the beauty and magnificence of a drone shooting itself 360 degrees from afar in the vast northwestern desert!

Gao Wen passed Baidu and entered the official website of Dajiang!
