Is it reasonable for me to build a space elevator when filming The Wandering Earth?

"Hello, is it Mr. Liu Lang?" Liu Lang

looked up and saw several people in suits and leather shoes, dressed out of place with the townspeople, greeting him.

Behind them, the doors of the off-road vehicles with foreign license plates were not completely closed.

Seeing this, Liu Lang immediately became vigilant, and he remembered that these cars had stopped in the town this morning.

But he wasn't very worried, the town police station was two or three hundred meters away, and many locals on the street were looking at them curiously.

Liu Lang didn't believe that the other party dared to do anything that violated the law in public.

"It's me, what's the matter?"

"My name is Wang Hao, and this is my assistant and security consultant.

On behalf of DJI, I'd like to talk to you about licensing the drone technology in your release video. A

man in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses said slowly.

When introducing the security consultant, Liu Lang couldn't help but look at the other party twice, because the deep dark circles on the other party's face were too eye-catching.

Hearing the word 'DJI', Liu Lang's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Although he didn't know much about drones before he built the [Marauder Drone].

But as a hegemon-level enterprise in the civil drone industry, DJI's reputation is still very loud.

Originally, his plan was to gain the attention of fans through the actual shooting of the prototype of the Marauder drone.

Then take advantage of the trend to launch the [Predator Drone] crowdfunding plan to collect funds.

Then contact reliable related factories to manufacture the materials of [Marauder UAV] in large quantities, and then assemble them in batches.

In the end, he relied on the sale of drones to obtain start-up funds for filming.

However, when he actually implemented it, he found that every link in it was not simple.

Not to mention how to find a reliable foundry, and assembly tasks, these two time-consuming actions.

Just how to obtain the qualification to produce [Marauder UAV] in large quantities is a big problem.

The Marauder drone is not a plastic figurine or a figurinary toy.

With a wingspan of 8.3 meters, a length of 8 meters, and a height of 1.9 meters, it is undoubtedly a behemoth in the civilian UAV market.

If there is only one prototype, Liu Lang can still use the excuse of building it himself.

But if you want to mass-produce them legally and compliantly, various production licenses, and production and operation qualifications, Liu Lang is overwhelmed just by thinking about it.

Now the emergence of DJI has undoubtedly given Liu Lang another way out.

In fact, all of this he prepared was for the future filming of the live-action movie "The Wandering Earth".

As long as the other party's bid is right, Liu Lang doesn't mind selling the drone technology.

The crowd took their seats in the lobby of the town inn.

"How much can you give?" asked

Liu Lang, as straightforward as ever.

Wang Hao glanced at the security adviser beside him covertly, and saw that the other party had no further instructions, so he said to Liu Lang according to the original plan:

"We have two plans.

First, we will provide you with a total value of 9,000w yuan, including 4,000w in cash, and 5,000w worth of internal stock options.

As a reminder, these stock options cannot be exchanged for cash immediately, and you can choose to hold them for the long term or sell them to a third party after four years.

The second plan is to pay you 3000w in cash in advance, and you will also get 20% of the net profit after the company sells the drone model based on the technology you provide in the future.

Wang Hao slowly announced the company's internal offer to Liu Lang.

These are based solely on the company's internal considerations of the commercial value of the technology demonstrated by the Predator drone in the current market situation.

However, this does not include the most impressive, or terrifying, radar signal shielding feature on the [Marauder Drone].

If the deal is completed, DJI's acquired radar signal shielding technology will also be taken over by the Security Bureau.

For Liu Lang, who was still worried about the rent of his rental house next month two weeks ago, no matter which plan it is, it is a huge amount of money.

But he still pretended to be calm and tried to raise the price.

"Your company's revenue seems to have exceeded 10 billion yuan a long time ago.

Isn't there a lack of sincerity in the bid of less than 100 million?"

"Mr. Liu, you may have misunderstood that the vast majority of the company's revenue depends on small and medium-sized models.

The market for super-large drones like the Marauder drone is still developing.

As a result, the funding available for technology licensing is also limited.

The two solutions we provide are already the top offers in the industry.

Wang Hao explained to Liu Lang sincerely.

In fact, he is not only right, but DJI, as the industry hegemon, can rely on various business methods allowed by law to suppress competitors.

Liu Lang, an individual developer with no technology and no capital support, will face countless difficulties if he wants to mass produce the Marauder drone and compete with DJI in the market.

Capital is profit-seeking, and if the Security Service does not intervene, they can try to obtain this technology at a smaller cost.

"I personally recommend that you go for the second option.

Based on my many years of experience in this industry, your technology will greatly expand the application direction of large UAVs.

Choosing profit sharing will maximize your earnings.

After some thought, Liu Lang also preferred to choose option two.

Although the total remuneration of option 1 is 9000w, it is not all cash.

Stock options will have to wait four years before they can be traded.

In contrast, profit sharing gains with higher caps are greater.

After the oral agreement, the two parties signed an agreement of intent, and the technology licensing agreement will only take effect after being certified by an authoritative third party in the future.

"Mr. Liu, I need to remind you that after the exclusive licensing agreement is successfully reached, some of the technologies on the Predator UAV, such as the technology of shielding radar signal monitoring, can no longer be applied to other commercial products.

As for the prototype you have previously gifted, in order to avoid the loss of technology, it will be withdrawn in the future, and as compensation, two new models of the payload model will be given to the other party.

Liu Lang nodded in understanding, satisfied with DJI's humanized handling plan.

After the negotiations, both parties were satisfied.

Seeing that the 'security consultant' gave him a look, Wang Hao then pretended to ask Liu Lang casually.

"Mr. Liu, do you have some research on radar electromagnetic wave communication?"

"I don't know much, I am from the directing department of the film school, and I have a little research on science fiction films. Hearing

Liu Lang's serious answer, Wang Hao almost choked on the tea.

"Ahem, you're so humble.

Yes, our company has some relationship with the Academy of Sciences 404, and we can recommend you to go there for further study.

Academician Li Fuzhen is an authority in the related fields of 404 Institutes, and should have a lot in common with you.

Do you have this intention?" As

an authoritative leader in radar and electromagnetic wave communication in China, Academician Li Fuzhen's name can be said to be thunderous in the academic circles.

The 'security advisor' on the side couldn't help but prick up their ears and wait for Liu Lang's response.

If Liu Lang still knows a little about the film and television industry of Longguo, the academic circle has completely touched his blind spot.

Liu Lang, who was full of movies, didn't pay attention to the other party's questioning at all.

"Does this Academician Li also have any research on science fiction films?

I will definitely visit it when I have time in the future!"
