Chapter 663 It is not easy to make money in the military industry

Rewards will be rewarded if you have merits. This is also the reason why Duke can convince all of his research institutions. Seeing Qi Haiyang and Xiao Fang so happy, Duke casually asked about the cost of this super simulated aircraft.

"The backend host of this system is a cluster of more than 200 super small aircraft, which is about 100 million yuan," Qi Haiyang replied. "This is still a G2 mini-machine produced by our country. If the imported similar mini-machines will be more than doubled, and the cost of each simulated flight cockpit is about 20 million yuan. In this way, the full set of more than a dozen models will definitely exceed 300 million yuan."

"Renminbi or US dollar?" Even Dong Feng is now a billionaire, and he was shocked when he heard this number. This big toy is really expensive. If it is priced in US dollars, it would be really difficult to buy a set.

"Of course it's the RMB. If the US dollar air force is probably unable to afford it." Qi Haiyang said with a smile.

"Can the simulation training of more than a dozen aircraft models be carried out at the same time?" Duke doesn't feel anything about the US dollar or RMB. This thing looks like a few hundred million yuan, but the cost-effectiveness is still very outstanding compared to a real fighter. Not to mention, the J-20 alone is now costing more than 100 million US dollars. The price of more than a dozen different types of real aircraft combined is far more than this simulator. Even if this simulated aircraft is more than 300 million US dollars, Duke thinks it is worth it after counting this.

You should know that this system can train more than a dozen pilots at the same time. Even if three shifts run for 15 hours a day, this system can give pilots a total of more than 50,000 hours of flight capacity in a year. Based on the 150-hour flight capacity of our army pilots per year, a system can give at least 360 pilots a qualified flight capacity a year. Even if it is calculated based on the high standard of US military pilots' 250-hour flight capacity per year, it can also train more than 200 pilots.

This is amazing data. You should know how much fuel and aircraft maintenance costs have to be saved in a year for so many pilots to practice with real aircraft. Fighters like the US F-22 cost as much as $50,000 per hour of flight. If you can replace half of the training volume with this simulated aircraft, you can save about $1 billion in a year! Besides, there is no risk of crashing.

So, this calculation shows that even $300 million is worth a thousand. Of course, no matter how realistic this simulated aircraft is, it cannot completely replace real flights. However, for the routine training of junior pilots, Dong Feng’s experience just now shows that it can be completely replaced, at least this is the best way to be familiar with real flights.

"It can be trained at the same time," Qi Haiyang replied. "Our small aircraft cluster simulation operation is very strong. Now the software only supports single-player simulated flight training. In the future, we will develop counter-simulation applications that allow pilots to use this system to conduct simulation vacuum combat. This time we salvage the F-22 and F-35. In the future, we will definitely create the simulation simulation aircraft before the real aircraft comes out, so we don't worry about the lack of suitable F-22 test pilots and pilots with rich experience in combat with the F-22 in the future."

"Can you still fight in air?!" Dong Feng's eyes shook when he heard this, "Duke, we buy a set of this thing, it's a must! I can pay for it myself." Dong Feng knew that he had basically no hope of participating in the real air battle in this life. If he could enjoy it in this super realistic simulation system, it would be a great pleasure in life, even though this set of things is so expensive and worth it.

When Qi Haiyang and Xiao Fang heard that Mr. Dong were like buying cabbage, they sighed in their hearts that this is a big guy of more than 300 million. And it’s not like buying it back. Even if you have to build such a large pile of things, you have to build a training center of several thousand square meters. You have to be equipped with an independent high-power power supply and other supporting environment to run. After running it, it has not been calculated. At least tens of millions of maintenance service fees will be paid every year.

It’s great to have money. For a moment, this idea came to mind at the same time in Qi Haiyang and Xiao Fang’s mind.

"Mr. Dong wants to buy it, of course we provide it at a cost price," Qi Haiyang said with a smile. "In this system, many key software technologies are provided by DSM, among which Dean Du's artificial intelligence algorithm is the core of the core. However, the delivery cycle of this thing is a bit long, and it will take half a year to deliver it even if the order is placed now. Of course, if the aircraft requirements are not so complete, the progress will be faster, but the requirements for supporting facilities construction are also relatively high. We have made a preliminary estimate and it will take about 500 million yuan to build a complete flight training center."

"Even if the Air Force purchases, the price we provide will not be less than 800 million yuan. After all, if we want to further develop, the appropriate profit margin is still needed. If the country allows takeaway, our quotation will not be less than 300 million US dollars."

Hearing Qi Haiyang's offer, Dong Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said exaggeratedly: "Your profit margin is too high, right? Why don't our DSM products have such high profit margins?"

"Mr. Dong, this is not very high. You have to know that this is exporting, which means that there will be such a good profit." Qi Haiyang said with a wry smile, "And don't look at the fact that this thing has a high profit per piece, but the sales volume cannot be increased. Even if the country allows exporting such things, it is estimated that only a few countries with good relations with our country will sell a few sets. Even if other countries want to buy it, we will not sell them. Compared with our R&D investment, the return on investment is just average. Military products are now mainly borne by our country."

Then Dong Feng remembered that this thing is not like mobile phones, TVs, and cars, which can be sold at will. If you only sell a few sets, it will only cost ten or billion US dollars to sell. This thing will last at least 10 or 8 years after using it. If you calculate this way, the amount will not be enough, and there is no problem.

Just like DSM has invested huge amounts of money in military products in the past two years, and now it has been spent on 20 to 30 billion yuan. It has also developed many good things, but it is useless. The sales revenue has only reached tens of billions of yuan, most of which are obtained through modification of J-7, and a small part is sold through the sale of drones such as Jingwei, Shadow and Winglong. After the newly developed tank is finalized, it must wait for production to be delivered to the military before DSM can receive the share from the military equipment.

Needless to say, this latest 99S tank is too advanced and naturally cannot be exported like a drone. Therefore, Dong Feng does not have to expect to make much profit from this tank. Even if the People's Liberation Army is equipped with 1,000 vehicles, it will score at least three to five years to complete. Each tank's DSM share is 1 million, which is all counted as 1 billion yuan, or RMB.

This is pretty good. New products came out in the past. But in this way, DSM's financial statements were completely ineffective, and this transaction was really hard to do. If the export channels were not opened, DSM would have a certain loss by relying solely on the orders of the People's Liberation Army of China.

Thinking of this, Dong Feng remembered that he had just been preparing to spend 500 million yuan to buy a simulated aircraft. This money seems to be inappropriate in the company's account. Although DSM is now in its development stage and no shareholders have yet to ask for profits and balance of revenues and expenditures, it does not mean that DSM can always maintain this way.

The burden on his shoulders is really not light. Now all the companies under SAL are making a lot of money. Only the companies he is responsible for are spending money when he sees big money. Dong Feng originally thought that he could reverse the situation after the products were released continuously, but now he heard Qi Haiyang say that it is not that simple. It is not that you can sell it if you want to. In terms of customer selection, you must have the approval of the superior department to sell it. It is really not easy to rely on DSM to make money like this.
