Chapter 934 I don’t even bother to make up my own excuses
"Focus on the movie, I will take care of this matter."
My wife went home for me on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Xiang Yang, who was in Paris, naturally wouldn't let her worry about such trivial matters as endorsements. Macron and he rode together and didn't talk about anything too personal.
At least, that's what Xiang Yang looked like when he was a guest at his father-in-law's house.
But Little John was very interested in asking.
"Just take care of yourself." Xiang Yang was just too lazy to tell him.
However, Little John also made a guess through the internal emails of Hermès.
As a good friend, Xiang Yang naturally remembered the project that he participated in for the first time on behalf of the Hermès Group.
A trip to Africa.
On behalf of the Sports Fund, I have visited many countries.
I also went to South Africa to show my face.
The internal document of Hermès is also very simple, which is to urgently evacuate the foundation's staff in Libya, as well as assisting the sponsored athletes and their families to go to Algeria next door.
Of course, Xiang Yangdu directly issued orders to the sports fund through consultations with Axel.
He came to his father-in-law's place as a guest and said what he should and could say.
Principal An frowned upon hearing this news.
After repeatedly asking Xiang Yang about the authenticity of the source, he did what he should do.
Africa is the traditional "sphere of influence" of the rooster.
Cardano danced so happily and even formed a "Mediterranean Alliance", which will naturally hinder Lao Sa's strategy of "returning to Africa".
Analysis based on this line of thought also clarifies why Xiangyang or Hermès’ previous wave of brand promotions on the African continent based on culture and sports were able to receive strong support from France.
"Xiao Xiang, please do your business well and stay less involved in this kind of thing in the future." After coming out of his room, Principal An said to his son-in-law with a heavy face.
"Dad, you are worrying too much."
Xiang Yang kept guessing in his mind whether his father-in-law's words were his original intention or whether there was someone else.
But who it is, it doesn’t really matter.
Macron would reveal this matter to himself, which means that it is not a secret at all, and maybe it was Lao Sa's instruction.
Moreover, he also contacted Axel before coming.
In addition to him, the top brass of Hermès also heard about this matter.
"You're right to say that, but I still hope you can stay away from these things." Principal An took a deep breath and smiled: "Come on, dad made dumplings today and we will eat them."
"Okay, Dad."
Xiang Yang responded with a smile.
Nothing tastes better than dumplings~
When my wife goes to her house and has dumplings to eat, he also has them here.
No one is worse than anyone else.
"Tonight, let's have some drinks and rest here tonight?" asked Principal An, who was inviting his son-in-law to cook dumplings together.
"That's good."
Xiang Yang agreed without even thinking about it.
Whether he was in love with Liu Qianqian or still married, there were not many opportunities for him to stay with his father-in-law.
He missed the lawn in front of this old apartment very much.
Not to mention the memories of secretly kissing Liu Qianqian in the kitchen.
"Dad, when will you return to China?"
"How to say?"
"Haha, it's nothing. I just want to buy this apartment building after dad leaves." Xiang Yang smiled.
This apartment building has three floors.
Good location.
And Principal An took care of it like his own home.
It would be a good gift to buy it when my father-in-law retires, and give it to him as a gift.
Hearing this, Principal An also smiled slightly, couldn't help but patted his son-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Xiang, do you know what impressed me most about you when I saw you?"
"Dad, tell me."
"From the beginning, I thought you were a very emotional person." Principal An said with a smile: "Emotional people often understand life better. I am very happy to see that you can take care of Sissy so well, and I hope you can Don’t forget your original intention.”
"." Xiangyang didn't say anything and just nodded.
My father-in-law was trying to point him out.
Don’t forget your original intention.
This doesn't sound like it should be said by someone of Principal An's level.
While he was asking himself whether he had forgotten his original intention, he saw Principal An taking out the packaged dumplings from the refrigerator and said speechlessly:
"Then since dad said so, why don't we eat frozen dumplings?"
"."
Principal An's hands trembled.
Some of them are good to eat, and you can choose from them.
pick.
How could you not choose?
Isn’t making money just to enjoy life better? Who would eat frozen dumplings if they have handmade dumplings? How can they taste the same?
However, eating frozen dumplings with my father-in-law is not without its benefits.
At least you can put garlic in the vinegar.
Whether it is with my parents in Xiangshan before New Year's Eve, or in a villa in the suburbs of Shunyi on New Year's Eve, there is no such treatment as eating garlic.
After having a casual dinner with his father-in-law, and returning to the room where he and Liu Qianqian lived to rest for a while, Xiang Yang started to get busy.
Xiangyang is actually very interested in Canon's endorsement.
However, endorsement fees cannot impress him.
How much can Canon give me if I can't survive? 20 million, 40 million, or 80 million per year?
Converted into euros, the money was not a big deal in Xiangyang's eyes, but there was one thing from Canon that he was very interested in.
To be clear, it's not just Canon.
Xiangyang is very interested in Zeiss, Hasselblad, Schneider, Leica and other brands.
After shooting the Vlog, he once asked Bea Shaffer to contact the DJ staff to come to Paris to communicate with him.
After understanding, of course DJ received a considerable amount of financing from him and Shenzhen Investment Holdings to recruit domestic troops in a short period of time to expand the self-research capabilities of the R&D team.
However, due to the early technology accumulation and product layout, it was the flight control system that achieved a significant technological breakthrough.
One is for helicopters and the other is for drones.
Both of them can be said to be the first flight control systems in the entire industry specifically designed for real/entertainment helicopters and drones.
This control system will greatly reduce the difficulty of operation.
Based on the built-in functions, it can also automatically provide the operator with some correction and control experience that is no less than a professional level.
Examples include semi-automatic takeoff and landing, aileronless systems and failsafe.
The first DJ drone based on this built-in system is also under development.
Xiangyang mentioned before that he hopes DJs can also develop an action camera based on GoPro products that is easy to carry, compact, and has sufficient power. Some progress has also been made.
Among them, Xiang Yang, as a liberal arts student, doesn't quite understand the technical aspects.
However, during the communication, he understood one thing very clearly.
That is, whether DJ is developing drones or action camera products, there is a key node that needs to be crossed.
That is the lens that the product itself should be equipped with.
Here, of course, there are reasons for the historical and technological development background.
The world's optical lens industry originated in 1608, and China's optical technology development started in the 1960s and 1970s of the last century. It is not easy to catch up with others' hundreds of years of leading technology in materials and processes in decades.
But the gap must also be acknowledged.
However, with the rapid development of the global video surveillance market around 2000, many domestic lens companies have seized this new opportunity.
With the help of Shenzhen Investment Holdings, DJ has been in contact with many companies in the Pearl River Delta.
The advantage of having a big tree at your back to enjoy the shade is once again reflected.
You must know that the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions have the most complete industrial chain related to the global lens industry.
Since 2008, the relevant manufacturing processes have become increasingly mature, and in order to maintain competitiveness, the company itself has continued to make breakthroughs in optical technology.
Just a lens adapted for action cameras and drones.
It doesn’t mean that if you want it today, you can get it out tomorrow like a magic trick.
In addition to market and funding, R&D also requires time.
So.
Canon offered money, and Xiangyang, who was not short of money, was not very interested, but if he could provide matching lens modules for subsequent products according to DJ's needs.
Maybe, Xiang Yang will be very interested.
In other words, although Canon's plan was good, it did not hit Xiang Yang's heart.
Moreover, with the presence of more gimmicky lens brands like Leica, Hasselblad, and Zeiss, there is no need to rely on Canon even for cooperation.
Samsung also has its own cameras.
Canon's SLR cameras certainly have a high market share.
But that's now.
No one really thinks that the SLR market is huge, right?
I'm so sorry.
Since the birth of smartphones, and the subsequent rise of the drone and action camera markets, SLR cameras have been nothing more than expensive lenses.
If it weren't for China's digital market, there would still be a certain demand for SLR cameras.
The major camera brands are having an even harder time.
Not to mention that consumers are gradually abandoning digital cameras, lens manufacturers are also investing more energy in the research and development of mobile phones, drones, and action cameras.
Have you ever seen drones or action cameras on the market using Canon lenses?
It's simply not a player in this space.
In 2020, Canon wanted to take a share of the civilian drone market, but what was the result?
Like its early products in the field of industrial drones, it failed to make waves at all.
"Shaffer, help me temporarily reject Canon, just say that I like their products very much, and you can make up the rest."
After picking up the phone and briefly explaining it to his assistant, Xiang Yang followed his own path and called Wang Tao, the person in charge of the DJ.
He only remembered the jet lag when he heard the depressed voice on the other side.
Forehead.
Excuse me.
I saw my wife also posted a photo of eating dumplings and forgot about it.
the next day.
When I got up in the morning, Principal An was no longer at home.
After driving to the HYS office building and finding a parking space, Xiangyang went to the coffee shop he used to frequent.
A cup of coffee and a croissant is his breakfast.
What is very frustrating is that the free coupon Little John gave him cannot be used here at all.
"TMD, this guy really practices these four words: never forget your original intention!" I saw that behind the free coupon in my wallet, there was actually a deadline for redemption.
If nothing else, these redemption coupons will expire soon.
It’s really profiteers and misers who get together to bully kind-hearted consumers unscrupulously.
Xiang Yang cursed angrily and took out his cell phone angrily, "Shaffer! Contact COSTACOFE! I have something to ask them!"
"."
Bea Shaffer was speechless when Xiangyang disturbed her dream.
Didn't I agree to give her a day off when she comes back?
Even if I called you last night, I wouldn't let you sleep peacefully in the morning.
What an evil Boss.
You should tie it with a calfskin rope from the store and hang it on the roadside.
