Chapter 276 The wind and snow have weighed on me for two or three years, which adds up to five years
The concept of family was a bit destructive to Chen Chen. He did not speak, which was considered to have agreed to Song Jie's request.
Since you have decided to help, you will help to the end.
Going alone, at most I can provide some macro advice, which is of no use.
He has seen many venture capital projects like this before. Those that can be called venture capital must have new ideas.
Most of the problems lie in the nuts and bolts of execution.
Chen Chen also knew that the help they needed must be technical advice, not metaphysical bastard chanting, so he called Cao Zihua back from the northwest.
“Unmanned express delivery vehicle?” Cao Zihua was confused while looking at the project introduction in the car.
“Yes, the project led by Shunfeng was a hit five years ago.”
“But now it’s five years later, this thing is worthless.”< br>
Cao Zihua closed the document and put it back on his seat exactly as it was, without even bothering to look at it.
This project is the layout of Shunfeng a few years ago.
At that time, Wei Xiao had not yet taken over Shunfeng, and it was the previous leader who took the lead.
There was a lot of noise when the project was approved.
Hao promised mass production within three years and sounded the bell within five years.
Lutong Technology, which is in charge of this project, was once at the forefront.
Then...
There is no more.
Cao Zihua thought that this did not look like Wei Xiao’s handiwork: “Why doesn’t Mr. Wei withdraw his capital?”
“It can’t be withdrawn.”
"What? The police station won't let you go." Cao Zihua picked his nostrils.
Chen Chen glanced at Lutong Technology outside the car window: "Nepotism, the boss of Lutong is Wei Xiao's elder."
"Ouch——"
Cao Zihua immediately There is no doubt anymore.
That makes sense.
It's not strange for rich people to do something like this and go out to play.
And regarding President Wei’s situation, the word “elder” is the most critical.
Huawei's power is being handed over, and the position of Chief Wei is not particularly stable yet, and he especially needs the support of his elders.
So the existence of Lutong Technology is equal to a disguised gift.
While talking.
The two got out of the car. This was an inconspicuous company located in the Science and Technology Industrial Park in Jiangbei.
Lutong also received the news in advance that Shunfeng Club would send a team to inspect, and prepared a team to greet them at the door.
“Su Xuesong?”
Looking at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as himself, Cao Zihua shook his head inwardly.
Either you don’t engage in this fictitious welcome array.
Either you show some sincerity.
President of Chendun Group, strategic partner of Shunfeng, future son-in-law of Huawei...
My adoptive father came to inspect with such a series of titles, so you sent a yellow-haired boy ?
It is better not to send.
"Mr. Su, are you the company's public relations director?" Cao Zihua asked.
"I'm not."
"Is that a human matter?"
Su Xuesong answered directly: "I am the boss, I don't do human affairs."
Chen Chen couldn't help laughing. Came out: "Are you from the South?"
"Yes."
"People from the south, please don't press the word "learner". You can't add "personnel" after "personnel"."
Cao Zihua was surprised after hearing this: "I heard that your company is run by Mr. Wei's elders. I I haven't seen anyone older either..."
Su Xuesong was a little embarrassed: "I am."
"You?" Cao Zihua's question mark was full of doubts. .
"Yes, my sister is Mr. Wei's stepmother, and I am nominally Mr. Wei's uncle..."
Su Xuesong was still a little embarrassed after clarifying her relationship with Wei Xiao.
I am about the same age as Wei Xiao, and I lick my face like an elder, and because of my relationship with my mother’s family, it would be disgraceful to tell anyone.
If Cao Zihua hadn't insisted on asking, he would have just crossed over.
After knowing this fact, Cao Zihua also collapsed.
The outer building of Qingshan Tower outside the mountain.
I have seen people who live with rich women, and I have seen people who want to be godfathers.
I have never seen an uncle-in-law.
People are hugged by these thighs...
Some people are born in Rome.
And Su Xuesong... was born to be his uncle in Rome.
over!
My seniority has dropped again.
The foster father Chen Chen has to call the boy in front of him uncle, and he has to call him uncle. Where can he reason with him?
"Mr. Su, please introduce your project." Chen Chen had already started working before he entered the door.
“I’m ashamed to say that there are many problems with our project.”
Su Xuesong did not take Chen Chen into the company, but went directly to a closed road in the industrial park.
Parked in front of us is a square electric minibus.
It’s like a kid under a minibus, unable to do anything.
Su Xuesong pointed to the car, without any pride in his eyes: "This is the core of our unmanned delivery project, the Lutong No. 1 unmanned vehicle."
Chen Chen did not answer any questions. Just circle around the car three times to the left and three times to the right to observe.
Essentially.
This is a product of shrinking and flattening the express cabinet.
Add a lithium battery to the bottom of the express cabinet and it becomes a car.
Add a few more radars to it, and it will become an electric vehicle.
If it can be equipped with a set of algorithms on the horizontal line, it will be a smart express delivery vehicle.
When Cao Zihua heard that this thing in front of him cost hundreds of millions over five years, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw.
At his alma mater.
There are similar unmanned vehicle and drone competitions every year.
Each department has a bunch of people build their own cars and airplanes, and then conduct simulations on some subjects to determine the winner.
Just like the popular robot competition in the past few years.
The players eliminated in this kind of competition are probably at the same level as Lutong No. 1.
So Cao Zihua suspected that Lutong Technology was laundering money for Mr. Wei?
“Come on, let’s demonstrate it to the two guests on the road.”
An order was given. Several people were busy setting up and then starting the car.
The roads in the park are almost completely closed, which is the most gentle environment for such vehicles to operate.
Even so.
The performance of Lutong No. 1 was also a mess.
Speed in straight lines, slow in corners, and abrupt in lane changes.
Almost hit a stray dog that jumped out.
"Lutong is already in the design completion stage, but it still lacks a little bit in terms of artificial intelligence." Su Xuesong introduced with some room.
Cao Zihua couldn't help it anymore: "This isn't about artificial intelligence anymore, it's about artificial intelligence."
Though the words are unpleasant.
But Su Xuesong also listened.
He is not the kind of old man who is satisfied with just having a sister to support his younger brother. He still has some dreams.
Otherwise.
What kind of autonomous car do you drive?
It would be great to take the money given by Shunfeng and go directly to drive with the Internet celebrity.
Just when Su Xuesong was embarrassed, Chen Chen suddenly said: "It's okay, it's not that bad."
Cao Zihua looked unbelievable.
Is this what the little boss can say?
Is this okay?
If I had come up with this kind of product, I would have run away overnight carrying a bucket.
Because the little boss scolding people is not ordinary dirty.
Chen Chen continued: "Unmanned vehicles do not have high hardware requirements, but the software requirements are too high."
"A single algorithm can stump a large number of people. .”
"Lutong is so small that it is unrealistic to solve this problem."
Su Xuesong looked like he had met a confidant: "Mr. Chen understands technology! Algorithms are simply too difficult."
“Well, especially when you deliver express, you not only need vehicle-road coordination, but also have an extra cargo network, which is even more difficult to connect.”
“Yes, yes! We were engaged in hardware at that time It took two years to develop the freight network algorithm," Su Xuesong lamented. "I told my employees at the time that the wind and snow had been weighing on me for two or three years, and I laughed at the lightness and softness of the snow. I thought that it would be better after the product came out."
Cao Zihua had already anticipated the result, but he still felt a little distressed. asked: "What's the result?"
"As soon as our product came out, Shunfeng started using drones to deliver express, and my sky fell." Su Xuesong burst into tears. "The wind and snow have weighed on me for two or three years, which adds up to five years."
Su Xuesong believes that his driverless car is the future of Shunfeng.
Unexpectedly, people jumped directly to the drone stage.
Since then, the long night has fallen.
Technology, there is no breakthrough in technology.
Funding, there is no bias in terms of funding.
The poorer the technology, the more research and development is required.
The more we engage in research and development, the less money we have.
The greater the lack of money, the worse the technology.
It's a complete endless loop.
“Sometimes I doubt that if I take so much money from others and lend it to a loan shark or something, the returns will be higher than what I get now.”
Looking at Su Xuesong’s guilty expression, Chen Chen felt a little relieved. .
This old uncle doesn’t seem to be a heartless thing.
At least I know that I am indebted to the wind.
So he comforted: "Your project can still be saved."
Cao Zihua also had good intentions: "Yes, it's not entirely impossible to hold up the wall with mud."
Chen Chen immediately turned his head. : "Director Cao said it well, you help the first one."
"????"
Cao Zihua was stunned.
I was just talking and didn't even think about it when I went out today.
But looking at everyone's eager eyes, Cao Zihua was held back.
No way.
So he started thinking about it.
“Actually, the little boss is right, autonomous driving doesn’t need to rely too much on hardware.”
“What I mean is that we don’t need to rely too much on the sensing equipment on the car.”
“The real future lies in the direction of cars, roads and clouds.”
“Cars + roads + cloud, specifically delivering express delivery , add another cargo, Lu Yun. "
"As long as the cloud is processed, your car can still use it even if it does not have its own algorithm and radar."
After Cao Zihua finished speaking, Lu Yun. Everyone here seems to be enlightened.
Don't say...
This idea is right.
Before, Lutong has been obsessed with improving the level of car radar and autonomous driving, and the cost has been rising.
The most exaggerated time is that the cost of a prototype car is close to that of a Porsche.
Su Xuesong did not dare to disclose the progress to Shunfeng.
Will people use Porsches to deliver express delivery?
Isn’t that crazy?
Cao Zihua’s idea may be the ultimate solution in this regard.
Chen Chen glanced at Lao Cao and nodded happily: "I would like to add to Lao Cao's point. He is not saying that the hardware is completely ignored. It is not important. Your company can focus on the layout of Chelu Cloud. Hardware I can help you find a way."
"Really?" Su Xuesong's eyes were full of longing.
"I just have a plan for this. In Linyang, you can join forces with eight hundred serious science and technology companies."
Cao Zihua raised his head and discussed Linyang's industries.
I can’t even think of a factory related to science and technology innovation.
The little boss wouldn’t talk about the tractor factory, right?
But Su Xuesong didn't know this situation. All he could think about was industrial integration.
He focuses on algorithms and cloud, and Chen Chen comes to solve hardware vehicles. It is simply a match made in heaven.
"Okay! Thank you Mr. Chen!"
Cao Zihua pretended to be Chen Chen again: "What do you call Mr. Chen? We are all one family."
With this success From the beginning, subsequent inspections became extremely harmonious.
Su Xuesong did not put on the airs of an elder, but lowered his posture, commensurate with Cao Zihua and Chen Chen's position throughout the process.
Until the business banquet in the evening, he insisted on kissing Chen Chen's son, and he couldn't stop him.
