Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 61 DJI!

When we arrived in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it was just after 11 o'clock.

Lu Yao drove the car directly to the door of a teahouse that looked secluded and quiet by the West Lake.

This was not his first time to come to West Lake. In his previous life, he often came here on business trips and had seen it many times, so it was not surprising.

Along the way, he received at least seven or eight calls, all of which wanted to interview him, but he postponed them all to tomorrow.

After the two got off the car, he saw a man standing with the receptionist at the door walking towards this direction.

His target is Xu Ruochu.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Li Lei, the secretary of Mr. Lu from Jinchuang Investment Bank..."

"Well, hello, Secretary Li."

Xu Ruochu greeted him calmly, followed him and the receptionist inside, and said to him as she walked:
"My assistant, Lu Yao."

"Hey, hello."

"Hello, Secretary Li, just call me Xiaolu."

Lu Yao extended his hand politely.

In fact, he had been introduced like this by Xu Ruochu many times in recent times, and he was promoted from driver to assistant.

It's not surprising at all.

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 or something... Because in recent times, although he was nominally an assistant, when Xu Ruochu met with some people, everyone paid great attention to privacy, and only this group of people were in the same room, and even the waiters were not allowed to be in there.

But today, when they arrived at the door of the box, Xu Ruochu handed him the bag in her hand.

Then walked in.

Lu Yao was stunned... then he understood what he meant and followed him in.

When the two entered the room, there was already someone inside.

A middle-aged man who was probably around forty years old was sitting next to the main seat. Next to him was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, wearing glasses and a suit. Next to him was a man who looked to be around thirty years old, with a small mustache on his chin.

Just these three people.

"Ms. Xu, please sit down."

The middle-aged man in his forties who was leading the group greeted them quickly.

Then, he introduced to the middle-aged man next to him:
"Professor Li, Miss Xu is the chairman of Chuangsi Investment Bank that I told you about. Miss Xu, this is Professor Li Zhexiang, an expert in the field of automation in our country."

Hearing this, Lu Yao was stunned.

Li Zhexiang?
Automation field?
This name...is it the same name?

Subconsciously, he looked at the guy next to Li Zhexiang.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.

I thought to myself, this guy’s surname couldn’t be Wang, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the middle-aged man who seemed to be Mr. Lu continue to say:
"He is Wang Tao, Professor Li's student."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched...

have to.

He finally knew who these two people were.

DJI!

Wang Tao...

Although he was not a fan of technology in his previous life, DJI's chip laboratory cooperated with his research institute. The two sides began to cooperate in 16, when Lu Yao had just been admitted and was a researcher who was as unknown as he could be. In 18, the laboratory and DJI cooperated to produce the thermal imaging chip for the agricultural drone T16. (Note 1)

He missed this project because he was not qualified to work on such a subject at that time.

But as his capabilities were demonstrated, he was involved in the chip architecture of the MINI in 19 and the enterprise-level application drone Jingwei 20RTK in 300.

It's just that they are just collaborating, and he has not met Wang Tao in person.

At that time, DJI was a leading company with a market value of tens of billions.

And now it happens.

That being said...

DJI probably doesn’t have any products out yet, right?
If my memory serves me correctly, his first generation of product seemed to have come out in 12?
While he was thinking about it, Xu Ruochu and both sides got to know each other.

I also introduced Lu Yao.

"My assistant, Lu Yao."

After that, no one else reacted, but Wang Tao reached out:
"Hello, I'm Wang Tao."

Actually, if you think about it, according to the "status" of the people in this room, Xu Ruochu, Mr. Lu, and Professor Li are king against king.

Aren’t he, Wang Tao and Li Lei all soldiers?

"Uh……"

Lu Yao, who had reacted, also reached out:
"Hello, Lu Yao, just call me Xiao Lu."

"Hey, hello, hello."

After the polite exchanges, everyone took their seats.

Three people were communicating while the other three were listening.

Have tea first.

No tea artist.

The one who made tea while enjoying the beautiful view of West Lake was Li Lei.

Lu Yao and Wang Tao sat next to each other, and the two of them were just like taking notes at a meeting.

Listening to the three people chatting, Lu Yao finally understood why Xu Ruochu came to Suzhou and Hangzhou this time.

Mr. Lu wanted to introduce an investment business to her.

Although Xu Ruochu didn't say it explicitly, Lu Yao guessed...she probably wanted to express how much importance she attached to the first business of this investment bank called "Chuangsi".

It has commemorative value.

And, maybe he also came here to learn from others.

After Mr. Lu pointed out that the investment was from Professor Li, Xu Ruochu did not rush to discuss it, but instead chatted with him about some things about investment banking.

It seems like learning from predecessors.

During the speech, Xu Ruochu also made it clear that the direction she is interested in is the high-tech innovation sector. In the future, the main investment direction of Chuangsi will be here, rather than some other traditional industries.

While listening, Lu Yao observed Wang Tao from time to time.

Because he had probably already guessed the scope of this "business" in his mind.

When you know someone well, you naturally want to observe him.

Wang Tao left a good impression on him.

Quite calm.

Drink tea and chat.

After Xu Ruochu had almost finished her quest, she spoke:
"Then the first investment that Mr. Lu wants to introduce to me is related to Professor Li?"

Wang Tao sat up straight subconsciously.

Mr. Lu smiled and nodded, and said to Xu Ruochu:

"Yes, Ms. Xu, to be honest, the target of investment is Professor Li's student, my nephew Wang Tao. His father and I are good friends..."

Following his introduction, the next step was to seek investment.

Wang Tao took out a plan.

Verbal expression:
"This is the helicopter flight control system I researched. Please review it, Mr. Xu. This project has been approved by my teacher..."

As he said this, Li Zhexiang nodded beside him.

And Xu Ruochu also took the plan.

But he didn't rush to look, but asked Wang Tao directly:
"Helicopter flight control system?"

"Small flight control, the main direction in the future is light drones. Does Ms. Xu know the concept of drones?"

Li Zhexiang took the initiative to speak.

Xu Ruochu did not rush to answer, but asked:
“Who are the main customers of small flight controllers?”

"Electronic flight enthusiasts, Ms. Xu, these are our main customer groups..."

Wang Tao answered on behalf of the teacher.

These two are like doubles for each other.

“What about the audience?”

"Well... there's quite a lot of attention in China, but even more attention abroad..."

When Lu Yao heard Wang Tao chatting like this, he knew something was wrong.

He subconsciously glanced at Xu Ruochu.

But the female president remained silent, just nodded and continued listening.

But after listening to it over and over again, Lu Yao felt that there were only a few meanings.

"Great market prospects", "loyal enthusiasts", "market gap", "multi-faceted scalability in the future", etc.

As for Li Zhexiang, along with his apprentice's words, he was also chatting with Xu Ruochu, but the topic he talked about was the company's talent pool.

He also told Xu Ruochu bluntly that he was now at Harbin Institute of Technology and there would be no shortage of high-tech talents, and that he was also optimistic about this project...

What to say.

Everything we talked about was correct.

If scientific and technological talents heard that there was an endorsement from this old professor, they would understand that from a technical perspective, as long as the direction is right, it is only a matter of time before a breakthrough is achieved. However... this is a commercial investment negotiation.

Only science and engineering men can understand what these two people are saying.

If it weren't for Mr. Lu who helped draw up the business blueprint, the situation might have collapsed.

However, 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 a three million investment.

Even though Mr. Lu from Jinchuang has already invested 8 US dollars, even Wang Tao's mentor, Professor Li, has said that he is raising money and will invest around one million yuan.

The actions of both of them show that they are optimistic about this project.

But... the more this happens, the more I feel an inexplicable sense of urgency.

Let’s look at Xu Ruochu.

The old god is here.

There was basically no emotion expressed actively. Even if Lu Yao didn't think he knew the female president well enough, he wouldn't even be able to tell from the surface whether she liked or disliked the project.

At this time, Lu Yao truly discovered...

Or to realize what the real "Qi-nourishing Kung Fu" is.

It is completely different from the leaders I met in my previous life.

She is obviously younger, but her kung fu... seems to be more advanced than the two in front of her.

Just like that, we went from a tea party to a dinner party.

After dinner, it was around 1pm.

Xu Ruochu asked Lu Yao to put away the plan and prepared to leave.

He politely left his business card before leaving.

But he didn't leave a phone number.

Lu Yao thought about it... and decided to make an exception, and took the initiative to say:

"Brother Wang, let's leave a phone number." "...Ah?"

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... OK, thank you Mr. Xu."

Lu Yao began to walk towards the Magic City.

As soon as I walked out of the teahouse, I heard Xu Ruochu ask from behind:
"Are you interested in this project?"

"..."

Lu Yao, who had just made an extraordinary move, nodded immediately after hearing her say this, as he was worrying about how to express himself:
“Well, I think it has a promising future.”

"But its application scenarios are very limited. As far as I know, this type of drone is mostly used for military purposes. It is too difficult for private enterprises to get involved."

In fact, at this critical juncture, she was not wrong.

The Americans first used high-altitude drones for reconnaissance during the Vietnam War, and this technology also came to prominence during the Gulf War.

But to put it bluntly, military and civilian use are indeed two different things.

On the civilian side, it is indeed difficult for people who come into contact with this new thing for the first time to view it from a broad strategic perspective.

But all aspects of later generations have proved that DJI is very... no, very good.

But if you want to convince others about this... you still need to think about it.

So, Lu Yao thought about it and said:

"Mr. Xu, I don't know if what I think is right, but I want to give an example."

"Well, you said."

"I remember reading a report that said that in Hollywood, it's very expensive to shoot those flying shots in the air. It seems to cost 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars per minute, including the helicopter fuel fee, usage fee, and the fees of the pilot and photographer."

"Well, then what?"

"Didn't you hear him say that they had already achieved beyond-visual-range technology last year... Let's not talk about how far this breakthrough is from the military level, but when he said it just now, I couldn't help but think, if it is controlled by a drone, with... that is, a camera is installed on the drone, to put it bluntly, isn't this what the US military used during the Vietnam War? After it is converted to civilian use, it has many application scenarios. Just think about it, I can stand on the first floor and use a drone to work directly from high altitude and take pictures of the entire city..."

He said, and Xu Ruochu listened.

And after listening to it again and again... I won’t mention how much my impression of the plan of this man named Wang Tao has been changed.

Seeing Lu Yao's beaming expression, she tilted her head and asked:

"You like this plan?"

"……Um."

He nodded and wanted to continue talking to her. Since she wanted to invest in the high-tech innovation sector, she should not limit herself to her own cognition and vision...

In the end, the words didn't come out yet.

Xu Ruochu said:

"Then invite him to the Magic City. You call him to 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... he would just invest directly.

With only three million, you can buy DJI’s original shares.

Ten years from now, you, the rich woman, will have to thank my ancestors.

Unfortunately, he couldn't convince his parents to demolish the house and sell the land, as his sister still had to go to school.

Unrealistic.

But he is still willing to give roses to others.

Apart from anything else, the rich woman contributed a lot to the 180,000 yuan.

So, he nodded:
"Ok."

"Well, let him... come in a few days, until you are done with your work."

"……it is good."

……

The trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou was so short.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the two had returned to Fortune Garden.

Xu Ruochu was not tired, but Lu Yao had to go.

Before leaving, the rich woman called him:

"Lu Yao."

"Mr. Xu, go ahead."

"Congratulations."

At this moment, the female president shed the temperament of a business tycoon. Standing next to the car, her expression and words revealed an unparalleled sincerity.

The hint of gentle joy between her brows enhanced her beautiful and dignified temperament.

Pure icing on the cake.

Even Lu Yao couldn't avoid being a little dazed.

But he reacted immediately and nodded vigorously:
"Thank you."

"Ok!"

Joy turned into her beautiful smile and a carefree farewell wave:
"Go back and take over the interview. Wear your red flower. Do you need to fill out the application form tomorrow... the day after tomorrow?"

"Yep."

"Then see you the day after tomorrow. Make an appointment with Wang Tao the day after tomorrow as well. I'll reserve the afternoon for him the day after tomorrow."

"Ok."

Lu Yao nodded and watched the other party walk into the basement lobby before he got into the car.

There's still enough time now.

He thought about it and dialed Wang Tao's phone number.

Doodle.

The call is connected.

Wang Tao's voice seemed to be suppressing some emotion:

"Hello, Assistant Lu, hello."

"Hello, Brother Wang. Is it convenient to talk now?"

"Yes, that's convenient. Please go ahead, Assistant Lu."

"Is Brother Wang free the day after tomorrow? Our CEO Xu would like to invite you to come to Shanghai to discuss this project in more detail."

“Uh… ah!?”

Wang Tao let out a surprised sound, then remained silent for a few seconds, then said in a somewhat uncertain tone:

"The day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, the day after tomorrow. To be exact, the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, Mr. Xu wants to talk to you again. If you are free..."

"I have."

Before Lu Yao finished speaking, Wang Tao quickly agreed:

"I have time... Assistant Lu, I would like to ask Mr. Xu... what is his attitude towards my project on the way back?"

Lu Yao thought, what attitude do you want...

It's nice to have a bicycle.

In fact, from his current point of view, as DJI's subjective thinking gradually cooled down, when he re-examined the project from the perspective of an observer, he realized belatedly that these three people were actually forcing the project.

Even if the intention is not obvious.

But...they should be thinking "we have already invested, you just need to follow."

Of course, this is definitely not forced.

But if you meet a young man who is impulsive, after hearing this, perhaps with the endorsement of Professor Li, he will not think so much and will at least agree to it verbally.

Whether or not he will give three million next... is actually not important. Wang Tao should be very short of money now, and as for the specific investment amount, he will just ask for a sky-high price and then pay back the money.

However, the female president seemed to be very calm from beginning to end.

No matter how strong the wind blows from all directions, I will still remain majestic.

Amazing……

With some emotion, he said:

"Let's have a face-to-face meeting then. But there's no need to bring Professor Li and the others this time. Professor Li is so busy, and it's not good to waste his time all the time. Brother Wang can just come by himself. Tell us your true thoughts on this project, and we can talk openly. How do you think?"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Wang Tao responded:

"Okay! Then the day after tomorrow afternoon, I'll contact Assistant Lu when I get there."

"Yeah, okay, no problem..."

The phone hangs up.

Lu Yao continued driving towards home.

While driving, I was thinking about the encounter in Suzhou and Hangzhou today.

The more he thought about it, the more surprised he became.

Xu Ruochu...

Amazing.

Drive all the way.

When he left Xu Ruochu, it was around 3 o'clock, almost 4 o'clock.

By the time I was almost home, it was 4:10.

When I was two blocks away from home, a phone call suddenly came in.

He is the reporter from the Modou Education Network.

The first sentence at the beginning is:

"Lu Yao! Congratulations on winning the top spot in the 2010 National College Entrance Examination!!!"

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

The corner of his mouth twitched completely out of instinct.

Subconsciously asked:

"Who?"

"You! The scores for Inner Mongolia have come out! Currently, you are 9 points ahead of the second place, with a total score of 720, and have won the title of the 2010 National College Entrance Examination Champion! Congratulations! Lu Yao!"

(Note 1: DJI has many uses in the field of drones. I heard about it from my friends, so I won’t go into details. In short, it does cooperate with some of the top laboratories in China.)
　Please vote for me! The plot is speeding up!
