Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

Pengcheng, Shangmeilin Reservoir.

Located in the heart of Shenzhen, this place offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle. The giant lawn on the dam is lush and green in spring and summer, creating a cartoonish effect when combined with the blue sky and white clouds.

However, the winter chill stripped the grass of its green, leaving the place looking withered and yellow.

People who used to come here to take photos and check in would avoid this season.

Therefore, it was appropriate for Wang Weili to choose this location as the testing site for DJI's model drone.

Wearing a black knitted hat, a black loropiana vest, and black trousers, Wang Weili looked up at the white model machine in mid-air and skillfully operated the remote control.

The model aircraft, having successfully circled the reservoir, hovered slowly overhead before landing smoothly.

The moment the model landed, Wang Tao, who was not far away, visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked slowly forward, stood beside Wang Weili, and looked at him expectantly.

"Mr. Wang, how's our model machine?"

"The battery life is a bit short, but the operation is quite simple and easy to get started with. If the body could be made into a folding version, it would be more convenient to carry."

Looking at the integrated, non-detachable drone on the ground, Wang Weili offered his suggestions.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao agreed, "We can incorporate the folding requirement when iterating through future updates."

"Mr. Wang, have you considered other possibilities?"

Wang Weili suddenly asked with a strange expression.

Wang Tao asked curiously, "For example?"

"Controllable drones are a type of robot. Have you considered expanding your business to quadruped robots or humanoid robots in the future?"

"Robots are indeed the future direction of our development, but humanoid robots... current technology cannot yet reach the application level."

"Understood. How much funding are you seeking this time?"

Wang Weili got straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

Wang Tao paused for a moment, then said seriously, "3000 million RMB will be mainly used for the production of the Phantom 1 series and the research and development and production of the Phantom 2, as well as the establishment of an overseas sales network."

"My dad isn't very interested in investing in drones..."

Seeing Wang Tao's sudden nervousness, Wang Weili changed the subject: "It's not that you guys are bad, it's just that he doesn't understand drones, so he can't invest in them."

"As you know, before he entered the venture capital circle, he was in the gold processing business in Shuibei, and he is still doing it now... In recent years, he has invested in companies with strong certainty after Series B funding, and he has a weaker understanding of new things."

"clear."

Wang Tao's expression darkened, realizing that the drone market in China had indeed not taken off.

Furthermore, the main sales market for the Phantom 1 is still overseas, and its performance has not yet been verified, so it is normal for investors to be pessimistic.

Looking at his increasingly drooping shoulders, Wang Weili realized that his preparations were complete.

A cold wind blew by, and the withered white reeds swayed in the wind, the rustling of the leaves making Wang Tao feel extremely disappointed.

Just as he was beginning to compose himself, preparing to say a dignified farewell and head to the next venture capital firm, a voice that took an unexpected turn suddenly rang out.

"Although my dad doesn't understand drones very well, I personally have high hopes for you and am interested in participating in this round of investment."

"You're interested in investing?"

Wang Tao stared wide-eyed at Wang Weili, thinking to himself: You're kidding me, do you think you and your dad can be separated?

However, Wang Weili's next sentence proved that the relationship between father and son can indeed be separated!

"I have also personally founded an investment company, and have already participated in the financing of two Internet companies, one of which received Series B financing from Ali Baba."

"Ah Li!"

Big brands are indeed more effective; even Wang Tao's eyes look different when he speaks.

Wang Weili recounted the short six-month history of Didi Chuxing with a blank expression.

His tone was very calm, as if he were talking about something extremely ordinary.

However, Ali, as a company, already represents a lot, not to mention that it also independently invested in the funding round of Kuaidi Dache.

After Wang Weili finished speaking, Wang Tao was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

He looked at Wang Weili with surprise and suspicion, silently tearing off the label of "rich second generation" that he had put on him during their last meeting and replacing it with a new label of "young and promising".

"Mr. Wang, may I ask about the source of funds for your investment company?"

"I made money trading forex..."

Wang Weili's serious demeanor seemed quite out of place with the content of his answer.

Wang Tao opened his mouth, already expressing his surprise for what felt like the umpteenth time.

He wouldn't normally lose his composure so easily; it's just that Wang Weili's answers are always so unexpected.

If you were to say that the investment company's funding came from hundreds of millions of dollars given by your father, Wang Tao wouldn't find it strange, since this has happened before.

But making money through forex trading? That sounds like a cover-up.

Wang Tao looked at Wang Weili suspiciously, and after a moment, he could only feel that those black eyes were exceptionally deep and honest, seemingly genuine...

Did he really make hundreds of millions by trading foreign exchange?

Wang Tao swallowed hard and asked, "Mr. Wang, what did you major in at university?"

Computer Engineering Technology.

"...This doesn't add up either." (Muttering very quietly)

"What?"

Wang Weili pretended not to hear clearly, hoping to interrupt Wang Tao's daydreaming.

Wang Tao clicked his tongue in surprise and blurted out, "I thought you were a quantitative trader..."

"We can consider this in the future."

Wang Weili answered very seriously, and he did indeed have such thoughts in his heart.

Wang Tao pursed his lips, unable to speak. He felt that Wang Weili was not playing by the rules at all, and he didn't know if he really wanted to invest in DJI.

"Mr. Wang, you said you're interested in investing in DJI, are you serious?"

"Of course! I don't joke about investments."

"Shall we continue our discussion?"

"No need, we've already discussed most of what needed to be discussed. For the rest, I'll have the finance and audit departments come to confirm, and then I'll need you to provide some documents..."

The documents Wang Weili mentioned were business plans, financial statements, and similar documents.

DJI had already completed its angel round, and Wang Tao was familiar with the financing process. His understanding of Wang Weili's requirements indicated that the financing had been basically secured.

"No problem! I'll send the documents over tomorrow... Should I send them to Mr. Wang's company?"

"Sure, we need to talk to my dad about me taking over the investment anyway."

These words completely put Wang Tao at ease.

Wang Weili, discerning his expression, did not expose his thoughts.

After the initial agreement was reached, the two walked and talked on the giant lawn.

Wang Weili seemed very persistent about the quadruped robot project, repeatedly talking about it, and even saying that he would make the robot look like a dog and be able to carry 10kg of items on its back...

Wang Tao did not give a perfunctory answer, but simply said that they would try to develop it again once the drone business stabilized.

After the conversation was over, Wang Weili received an unexpected call on his way back. The caller ID read: "Jiang Sanshi of Huanrui Century!"

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year! Happy New Year. Post-production for 'Gu Jian Qi Tan' is complete, and if the review process goes smoothly, it will be released next month."

"I'll be back in Shanghai in a couple of days, then we'll discuss the sale of the first broadcast rights."

"Okay, I won't bother you any longer."
