Chapter 61 DJI!
When we arrived in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it was just past 11 o'clock.
Lu Yao drove directly to the door of a tea house on the edge of the West Lake that seemed to have a dark environment.
This is not his first time coming to West Lake. He often came here on business trips in his previous life and has seen it many times, so it is not surprising.
Along the way, he received at least seven or eight calls, all of which wanted to interview him, but he pushed them all to tomorrow.
After the two got off the car, he saw a man standing at the door with the welcoming lady walking in this direction.
His target is Xu Ruochu.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Li Lei, Mr. Lu's secretary at Jin Venture Capital Bank..."
"Well, hello, Secretary Li."
Xu Ruochu greeted him calmly and followed him and the welcoming lady inside. As he walked, he said to him:
"My assistant, Lu Yao."
"Hey, hello."
"Hello, Secretary Li, just call me Xiaolu."
Lu Yao politely stretched out his hand.
In fact, he has been introduced to him by Xu Ruochu many times recently, and he has been promoted from driver to assistant.
Of course it’s not surprising.
Soon, Lu Yao arrived at the door of the box.
According to his idea, he should be in the same room with Secretary Li, or other drivers... Because in recent times, although he is nominally an assistant, when Xu Ruochu meets some people, everyone pays attention to privacy. , they all belong to this group of people in the same room, not even the waiter can be in it.
But when he arrived at the door of the box today, Xu Ruochu handed him the bag in his hand.
Then walked in.
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment... then he understood the meaning and walked in.
When the two entered the house, there were already people in the house.
A middle-aged man who is about forty years old is sitting next to the main seat. Next to him is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his fifties, wearing glasses and a suit. Next to him, A man who looked to be about thirty years old with a mustache on his chin.
Just these three people.
"Miss Xu, sit down quickly."
The leader, a middle-aged man in his forties, greeted quickly.
Then, he introduced to the older middle-aged man next to him:
"Professor Li, Miss Xu is the chairman of Chuangsi Investment Bank that I told you. Miss Xu, this is Professor Li Zhexiang, our domestic expert in the field of automation."
Lu Yao was stunned when he heard this.
Li Zhexiang?
Automation field?
This name...is it the same name?
Subconsciously, he looked at the buddy next to Li Zhexiang.
The more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes.
I wonder if this guy’s surname is Wang?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the middle-aged man who seemed to be Mr. Lu continue to say:
"He is Wang Tao, a student of Professor Li."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched...
have to.
He finally knew who these two people were.
DJI!
Wang Tao......
Although he was not a technical fan in his previous life, DJI's chip laboratory cooperated with the research institute where he worked. The two parties began to cooperate in 2016. At that time, Lu Yao had just passed the exam. He was so transparent that he couldn't be more transparent. researcher. In 2018, the laboratory and DJI collaborated to produce a thermal imaging chip in the T16 plant protection drone. (Note 1)
He failed to catch up on this project because he was not qualified to do this kind of subject at the time.
But as his capabilities showed later, he participated in the chip architecture of the MINI in 2019 and the enterprise-level application drone Matrice 300RTK in 20 years.
It's just that everyone is just cooperating, and he hasn't met Wang Tao himself.
At that time, DJI was a leading company with a market value of tens of billions.
As a result, it happened now.
So...
DJI doesn’t have a product out yet, right?
If my memory is correct, it seems that his first generation product was only released in 12 years?
As he pondered, Xu Ruochu and both parties got to know each other.
I also introduced Lu Yao by the way.
"My assistant, Lu Yao."
After saying that, the others had no reaction, but Wang Tao extended his hand:
"Hello, I am Wang Tao."
In fact, it's right to think about it. In terms of the "status" of the people in this room, Xu Ruochu, Mr. Lu, and Professor Li are kings of kings.
And aren't he, Wang Tao and Li Lei all just soldiers?
"Uh..."
After reacting, Lu Yao also stretched out his hand:
"Hello, Lu Yao, just call me Xiaolu."
"Hey, hello, hello."
After being polite, everyone took their seats.
Three people communicated and three others listened.
Drink tea first.
No need for a tea sommelier.
It was Li Lei who made tea with the beautiful scenery of West Lake.
Lu Yao and Wang Tao were next to each other, as if they were taking minutes of a meeting.
Listening to the three people chatting, Lu Yao finally understood why Xu Ruochu came to Suzhou and Hangzhou this time.
This Mr. Lu wanted to introduce her to an investment business.
Although Xu Ruochu didn't say it clearly, Lu Yao guessed that...she probably wanted to express the importance of this investment bank's first business called "Chuangsi".
It is of commemorative value.
And, maybe he also came to learn from the experience.
Because after Mr. Lu pointed out that the investment was from Professor Li, Xu Ruochu did not rush to start, but chatted with him about some matters in the investment bank.
It means learning from the elders.
During the speech, Xu Ruochu made it very clear that the direction she was interested in was the high-tech innovation sector. The main investment direction of Future Creative is here, not some other traditional industries.
Lu Yao listened and observed Wang Tao from time to time.
Because he has probably already guessed the scope of this "business" in his mind.
Once you know your roots, you naturally want to observe and observe people.
Wang Tao left a very good impression on him.
Quite calm.
Drink tea and chat.
After Xu Ruochu had learned almost everything, she spoke:
"Then the first investment Mr. Lu wants to introduce to me is related to Professor Li?"
Wang Tao subconsciously sat up straight.
Mr. Lu smiled and nodded, and said to Xu Ruochu:
"Yes, Miss Xu, to be honest with you, the investment target is this student of Professor Li, who is also my nephew Wang Tao. His father and I are good friends..."
Following his introduction, the next step was to secure investment.
Wang Tao took out a plan.
Verbal expression:
"This is the helicopter flight control system I am researching. Please take a look at it, Mr. Xu. This project has been approved by my teacher..."
When he said this, Li Zhexiang also nodded beside him.
Xu Ruochu also accepted the plan.
However, he did not look anxiously, but asked Wang Tao directly:
"Helicopter flight control system?"
"Small flight control, the main direction in the future is light drones. Does Ms. Xu understand the concept of drones?"
Li Zhexiang took the initiative to speak.
Xu Ruochu was not in a hurry to answer, but asked instead:
"What are the main customer groups for small flight controllers?"
"Electronically controlled flight enthusiasts, Miss Xu, our main customer groups are these..."
Wang Tao answered on behalf of the teacher.
It's like these two are acting as substitutes for each other.
“What about group audiences?”
"Well... there is a lot of attention in China, but more of it is abroad..."
When Lu Yao heard Wang Tao chatting like this, he knew something was wrong.
He glanced at Xu Ruochu subconsciously.
But the female CEO did not show off her integrity. She just nodded and continued to listen.
And after listening to it, in Lu Yao's opinion, it actually means just a few meanings.
"Great market prospects", "loyal enthusiasts", "blank market", "multi-faceted scalability in the future" and so on.
As for Li Zhexiang, following his apprentice's explanation, he was also chatting with Xu Ruochu, but the direction of his chat was about the company's talent reserve.
And he bluntly told Xu Ruochu that he was now at Harbin Institute of Technology and there would be no shortage of high-tech talents, and he was very optimistic about this project...
What to say.
Everything you talked about is right.
If a scientific and technological talent hears the endorsement of this old professor, they will understand that from a technical perspective, as long as the direction is right, it will be a matter of time before a breakthrough is achieved. However... this is a business investment negotiation bureau.
Only the man in science and engineering understood what the two said.
If Mr. Lu hadn't helped draw up the business blueprint in the middle, this game might have collapsed.
But Lu Yao, who had gradually mastered some of Xu Ruochu's little habits, still found that she didn't seem to be very interested.
Even if it's just an investment of three million.
Even though Mr. Lu of Jinchuang has invested 80,000 US dollars, even Wang Tao’s mentor, Professor Li, said that he is raising money and will invest about 1 million.
The actions of both men showed that they were very optimistic about this project.
But... the more this happens, the more I feel an inexplicable sense of urgency.
On the other hand, Xu Ruochu.
The old god is here.
There was basically no active expression of emotion. Even if Lu Yao didn't think he knew the female president well enough, just from the surface, he wouldn't even be able to tell whether she liked or disliked the project.
At this time, Lu Yao truly discovered...
In other words, we should realize what the real "Qi-nourishing Kung Fu" is.
It's completely different from the leaders I came into contact with in my previous life.
She is obviously younger, but her skills... are much deeper than the two in front of her.
Just like this, from the tea party to the dinner party.
After dinner, it was around 1pm.
Xu Ruochu asked Lu Yao to put away the plan and planned to leave.
Before leaving, he politely left his business card.
But no phone number was left.
Lu Yao thought for a while... and decided to make an exception and said proactively:
"Brother Wang, let's leave a phone number." "...Huh?"
Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, then nodded naturally and said with a smile:
"Hey, okay."
Xu Ruochu glanced at Lu Yao and his eyes moved slightly.
……
After coming out, everyone said goodbye politely.
After getting in the car, Lu Yao asked:
"Mr. Xu, where are we going?"
"Go back. Don't you have an appointment with the reporter this afternoon?"
"Uh...Okay, thank you, Mr. Xu."
Lu Yao started walking in the direction of Magic City.
As soon as I walked out of this teahouse, I heard Xu Ruochu ask from behind:
"Are you interested in this project?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"..."
After Lu Yao, who had just made an extraordinary move, heard what she said, he was worried about how to express himself and nodded immediately:
"Well, I think its future is very promising."
"But its application scenarios are very limited. As far as I know, this kind of drone is mostly used for military purposes. It is too difficult for private companies to get involved..."
In fact, at this juncture, she was not wrong about this.
The United States first used high-altitude drones for reconnaissance during the Vietnam War, and this technology also shined during the Gulf War.
But to put it bluntly, military and civilian use are indeed two different things.
In terms of civilian use, it is indeed difficult for people who come into contact with it for the first time to view this emerging gadget from a broad strategic perspective.
But all aspects of later generations have proved that DJI is very good... No, it's very good.
But if you have to convince others about this thing... you still need to think about it.
So, Lu Yao thought for a while and said:
"Mr. Xu, I don't know if what I'm thinking is right, but I want to give you an example."
"Well, you say."
"I remember reading a report saying that in Hollywood, shooting shots of flying in the air is very expensive. It seems to cost 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars per minute, including helicopter fuel, usage fees, and pilots. The photographer’s fees are added together.”
"Well, what then?"
"Didn't you listen to what he said just now? They had already achieved a breakthrough in over-the-horizon technology last year... Regardless of how far this breakthrough is from the military level, when he said it just now, I couldn't help but think, what if Use the drone to control and match...that is, install it on the drone A camera, to put it bluntly, wasn’t this what the US military used during the Vietnam War? After it was converted to civilian use, it still has many application scenarios. If you think about it, I can work at high altitudes directly with a drone. , capturing a comprehensive view of the city..."
He said, Xu Ruochu listened.
And listening to it... not to mention how much it changed my impression of the plan of this man named Wang Tao.
Seeing Lu Yao's beaming expression, she tilted her head and asked:
"You like this plan?"
"...Hmm."
He nodded and wanted to continue chatting with her. Since he wanted to invest in the high-tech innovation sector, he should not be limited to his own knowledge and vision...
As a result, the words have not yet been spoken.
Xu Ruochu said:
"Then make an appointment with him to come to Shanghai. You call him and make an appointment, but this time... no one else needs to come. I want to hear the truth."
Lu Yao was stunned.
But I didn’t think much about it.
Because in his opinion, if he had money... then he would just invest.
With only three million, you can buy the original shares of DJI.
Ten years from now, rich lady, just thank my eight generations of ancestors.
Unfortunately, he couldn't convince his parents to demolish the house and sell the land, and his sister still had to go to school.
Not realistic.
But he is still willing to give roses to others.
Not to mention anything else, the rich woman had a share of the 180,000.
So, he nodded:
"Okay."
"Well, let him... come here in a few days until you finish."
"...Okay."
……
The trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou is so short.
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them had returned to Fortune Garden.
Xu Ruochu was not tired, but he had to go far away.
Before leaving, the rich woman stopped him:
"Lu Yao."
"Mr. Xu, tell me."
"Congratulations."
At this moment, the female CEO lost her strong-willed business temperament. Standing beside the car, her expression and words revealed an unparalleled sincerity.
And the touch of soft joy between her eyebrows added to her beautiful and dignified temperament.
Pure icing on the cake.
Even Lu Yao can't help but feel a little sluggish.
But he immediately reacted and nodded vigorously:
"Thank you."
"Hmm!"
Joy turned into her flowery smile and her free and easy wave goodbye:
"Go back and take over the interview. Wear your red flower. Are you going to apply tomorrow...the day after tomorrow?"
"Well, yes."
"I'll see you the day after tomorrow. Make an appointment with Wang Tao the day after tomorrow. I'll leave the afternoon the day after tomorrow to him."
"Okay."
Lu Yao nodded and watched the other party walk into the basement lobby before he got in the car.
There is still enough time now.
He thought for a moment and dialed Wang Tao's phone number.
Toot.
The call is connected.
Wang Tao's voice sounded as if he was suppressing some emotion:
"Hello, Assistant Lu, hello."
"Brother Wang, hello. Is it convenient to talk now?"
"Yeah, it's convenient, Assistant Lu, please tell me."
"Are Brother Wang free the day after tomorrow? We, Mr. Xu, would like to invite you to come to Shanghai to discuss this project in detail."
"Uh...ah!?"
After Wang Tao made a sound of surprise, he was silent for a few seconds and said with a somewhat uncertain tone:
"The day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, the day after tomorrow. To be precise, it is the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. Mr. Xu would like to chat with you again. If you are free..."
"I have."
Before Lu Yao finished speaking, Wang Tao quickly agreed:
"I have time...Assistant Lu, may I ask, Mr. Xu...what's his attitude towards my project on the way back?"
Lu Yaoxin said what attitude do you want...
It’s good to have a bicycle.
In fact, judging from his current thoughts, as the subjective thinking of "DJI" gradually cooled down, and when he re-examined the project from the perspective of a bystander, he realized belatedly that these three people were actually a bit rushed. meaning.
Even if the intention is not obvious.
But... the idea they should have is "We've already voted, you just have to follow."
Of course, this is definitely not forced.
But if you meet a stupid young man with a hot head, after hearing this, maybe with the endorsement of Professor Li, he will not think so much at all, or at least verbally agree.
And whether he will be given three million next... It doesn't actually matter. Wang Tao should be short of money now, and the specific investment amount is the only way to pay back the money after asking for high prices.
However, the female president seemed to be calm from beginning to end.
No matter how wind blows you from all directions, I will stand tall.
Awesome...
With some emotion, he said:
"Let's have an interview then. But this time we don't need to bring Professor Li and the others. Professor Li is so busy, so it's not good to waste his time all the time. Brother Wang, just come over by yourself and tell us your truest thoughts on this project." How about a chat?”
"..."
After another few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Wang Tao responded:
"Okay! The day after tomorrow, I will contact Assistant Lu when I arrive in the afternoon."
"Well, okay, no problem..."
The phone hangs up.
Lu Yao continued to drive home.
While driving, I was thinking about today's meeting in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
The more he thought about it, the stronger the surprise in his eyes became.
Xu Ruochu...
Awesome.
Drive all the way.
It was around 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock when he left Xu Ruochu's place.
And when we were almost home, it was 4:10.
When I was still two blocks away from home, a phone call suddenly came in.
It's a reporter from the Magic City Education Network.
The first sentence at the beginning is:
"Student Lu Yao! Congratulations on winning the top spot in the 2010 National College Entrance Examination!!!"
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
The corners of his mouth twitched out of complete instinct.
Subconsciously asked:
"Who?"
"You! Inner Mongolia's scores have come out! Currently, you are 9 points ahead of the second place, with a total score of 720, and won the top spot in the 2010 National College Entrance Examination! Congratulations! Lu Yao!"
(Note 1: DJI has many uses in the field of drones. I heard the details from friends, so I won’t go into details. In short, it does cooperate with some of the top domestic laboratories.)
Asking for a monthly ticket! The plot begins to speed up!
