"Chairman, it's really difficult to see you."
The next day, Lu Fei was waiting at the company gate early. When he saw Li Zehua getting out of the car, he came forward enthusiastically and shook hands with him.
"It's only been two months since we last met, is that so serious?"
Li Zehua smiled and said, "You went to Shanghai without telling me in advance. It's not my fault. I was just too busy with work. The group has a lot of things waiting to be dealt with."
"My bad. I know you're a busy person, traveling all over the country all day, but I didn't make an appointment in advance."
Lu Fei laughed along, and after the greetings, he couldn't wait to say, "Boss Wang knew you were coming, so he specially prepared a new plane in the laboratory to entertain you.
It’s definitely a fun thing, I believe you will like it when you see it! ”
"Oh, if he calls it a new plane, it must be a good thing. Let's go and take a look."
Li Zehua has always been very tolerant of scientific research and technical personnel, and even did not allow Wang Tao to participate in courtesy reception work.
Doing a good job in technological research and development is more important than anything else.
It has been several months since the last time I came here. At that time, the Pinxixi business had not yet been launched. Time has passed in a flash, and Dajiang has almost developed into a company that I can't even recognize.
The entire original factory building was rented out, and the first and second floors next to it were also rented out as a special production and debugging workshop.
"That's a big change. It looks like you guys are doing a good job!"
Li Zehua knew nothing about technology, but the changes visible to the naked eye still made a deep impression on him.
The most obvious change is that the entire research building has been expanded nearly five times. The entire building is filled with special equipment and instruments. Each compartment is divided into separate technical departments.
The number of staff is no longer just a few. Since Qingyun invested an additional 1 million yuan last time, Wang Tao went to Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and called all the senior and junior colleagues he could.
In addition, Qingyun Group is recruiting talents in various fields such as power technology, intelligent manufacturing, suspension systems, software engineering, optical surveying and mapping, and special materials in the mainland.
Today, Dajiang Technology has established a professional R&D team of more than 70 people, with more than assistant researchers, and new scientific research talents joining every day.
The development concepts of Wang Tao and Li Zehua are almost perfectly matched. For a small drone, even every part must be completely produced and sold by themselves.
Integrating the advantages of upstream and downstream of the industrial chain cannot be explained in just one or two sentences. Li Zehua has high hopes for drone technology.
Throughout history, soybean paste has always been able to break through successfully.
It doesn't make sense that he would do worse with Qingyun's funding and the support of scientific research talent recruitment. He would never forgive himself for that.
Sooner or later, the Qingyun Group will develop to a point that will terrify Squid Capital. As one of the most important layouts, he needs to have enough countermeasures.
By 17/18, when the two major powers begin to compete in all aspects, if they can sanction each other in turn, then they will be truly capable.
At the very least, the drone industry must be perfected to keep America away from Dajiang. Even if it costs ten times the investment, there is no way it can produce a product of the same level.
He has been doing addition all the time.
Subtraction, this time when he goes to Hong Kong, he should also make some arrangements. As for chips, if he cannot develop high-tech ones within ten years, can't he let his opponents suffer together?
Haven’t you seen that in the future, when the United States forced decoupling, it used parts from White Elephant, causing many products of cutting-edge technology companies in Europe and the United States to have problems from time to time.
Then he should do something good and make some similar arrangements in Europe and the United States in advance, especially for Helan's lithography machines, Taiwan's chip production and research and development, and South Korea's Samsung, and launch targeted arrangements.
Isn't it normal for a car accident to happen, a plane to crash, or a manufacturing factory to have a serious fire or explosion due to quality problems with some parts?
If He Lan dares to burn the petals' lithography machine, he will dare to burn down the entire factory. No one should have fun anymore.
Or maybe that's too arrogant.
Then let’s start with the source of lithography machine supply, okay?
Among the tens of thousands of parts suppliers around the world, there are always some that are not vigilant enough. We only need to find the parts manufacturers that cannot be replaced in the short term and hit them hard a few times.
Sending some pro-Western scientific researchers in key areas to meet their superiors in advance will always slow down their development.
He is now starting to plan Bit B's layout in the East, as well as the Internet's private dark web layout.
The plan was to use their own products throughout the process, so that communications and payments could not be tracked, and the perpetrators could be killed afterwards or hidden in friendly countries of the University of Tokyo.
In short.
The West should forget about developing smoothly this time and try to complete the fourth industrial revolution with AI technology?
He was dreaming. He didn't even need to do it himself. He just needed to collect information and data in this regard, compile it into a book and throw it there. Naturally, someone would help him.
He just needs to cooperate and contribute money and effort to dig (kill) people. Those who are not of my race and cannot be used by me, it is not a pity to die...
Wang Tao looked much better this time than the last time they met. At least his iconic beehive hair was gone, replaced by a neat crew cut.
As soon as they met, he led everyone into the testing area, and what came into view was a drone with a particularly beautiful appearance.
The size is bigger and more beautiful than any other I have ever seen, like a finely crafted work of art.
"Let me introduce you to the company's latest Navigator series. The specific parameters are..."
Hearing all the professional terms, Li Zehua felt overwhelmed, but he didn't have the heart to interrupt his introduction, so he just kept agreeing with him with "hmm" and waited for him to finish.
Then he asked, "Is this a model specially customized for map surveying?"
Lu Fei may not know a lot about technology, but he is very familiar with the product positioning and the company's business strategy, otherwise he would not have remained as the managing director of DJI Technology.
Hearing Li Zehua's question, he said calmly: "Chairman, yes.
This Navigator series has great advantages in terms of stability, endurance, hovering, new material application, etc., especially when paired with the latest sports photography equipment and surveying equipment...
It has been inspected and approved by Qingyun Map's acceptance team, and the company received a one-time order for 100 aircraft, with a value exceeding 25 million yuan.
The surveying and mapping equipment, high-precision aerial photography system, and data processing center currently need to be purchased from outside, so there are still some difficulties in cost optimization..."
“How difficult is it to independently develop all the hardware and software?”
Li Zehua turned his head and asked Wang Tao, who pushed his glasses and said, "It's difficult. Currently, all professional filming equipment is purchased from Jiaobenji.
There are not many companies in China that have this technology, and the cost is too high, but don’t worry, the laboratory has set up an aerial photography technology research department. Give me three years and I will definitely be able to produce a finished product.”
“What about mergers and acquisitions?”
Three years is too slow. Li Zehua couldn't wait any longer and immediately said, "Let me tell you a good news. I borrowed more than 7 million U.S. dollars from Pinxixi.
I plan to transfer $100 million of this money to Dajiang in the form of a loan, which will be used exclusively for technology research and development and technology mergers and acquisitions.
In this way, you first make a list of what the company cannot make breakthroughs in the short term, and what the company urgently needs but for which domestic technology is not mature enough.
In short, we will give priority to mergers and acquisitions that can be acquired, and after the acquisition, we will split up those that need to be split up, and all scientific research and technical teams will be incorporated into the Pengcheng Dajiang Research Institute..."
Not only that, he also brought two whole squads this time, two real combat squads, a total of twenty-two people, all of whom were defensive athletes, and were retired soldiers who were sent here from the Yangcheng Governor's Office.
Approved by the Pengcheng Garrison, part of the equipment was used specifically for the security work of Dajiang Technology. Four people were divided into two shifts to protect Wang Tao and the key laboratory at all times.
Nothing else, he just took two of Dajiang Technology's latest products and performed routine subjects such as precision delivery and precise reconnaissance in front of a group of bigwigs at a training camp.
After all, it is a high-tech enterprise that flew over Mount Everest. With its extreme take-off altitude, long endurance, and professional-grade aerial photography equipment, it immediately captured the hearts of the bigwigs.
In particular, the Beidou commercial promotion plan in which Qingyun Map participates describes a bright future for personal high-precision map navigation and Beidou navigation on logistics vehicles.
It made the big guys even more excited. After the test, without the knowledge of Dajiang Technology, a Chang'an Research Institute and a Rongcheng Research Institute were added.
Qingyun Group is responsible for investing and recruiting personnel. With the approval of the Five Military Governor's Office, technological achievements are shared. Military technology belongs to the Governor's Office, while non-sensitive technology patents in the civilian field belong to Qingyun.
In short, Li Zehua found a good family for himself, and he can proudly say in the future that we have a backer.
It's not a loss, absolutely not a loss, because Qingyun Group can get a share of the basic material research results of major research institutes in the future, and compete in the promotion and application in the civilian market. Li Zehua has never been afraid of anyone.
After hearing this, Wang Tao's eyes lit up. "Is there really $100 million? Whichever company do you like, you can buy it?"
He is not very interested in improving the security level and cooperating with scientific research institutions, but giving money to acquire companies and make up for technological shortcomings is his dream!
What's more, we can also package and accept the other party's scientific research team, which makes us smile even in our dreams.
He didn't want to live through the hard days in the past. He recruited so-called scientific research talents who knew nothing. After much effort to teach them step by step, they either complained about the low salary or the hard work. In short, no one in the first few batches of scientific research teams could persist to this day.
Li Zehua nodded, throwing out the good news as if it was free, "Not only is there a $100 million investment in research funds!
The group is also studying how to solve the worries of high-quality R&D and management talents.
Mr. Lu, I leave this matter to you. Dajiang Technology needs to work quickly and come up with talent rating standards. For key talents in important fields, we need to establish files and track them in real time.
Those with outstanding abilities should not only be given preferential treatment in terms of wages and benefits, but also be given special care in daily life.
For example, you and Mr. Wang must enjoy the highest treatment. The company has already cooperated with Shenzhen Development in Pengcheng and is preparing to start building a luxury villa area.
In one or two years at most, the two of you will be able to live in a mansion of thousands of square meters without spending any money. As long as you work in the company for five years, the villa will be given to you as a special reward, completely free of charge.
In addition, the group's real estate company is cooperating with real estate companies across the country to invest in first- and second-tier cities to jointly develop real estate projects. They do not want returns but only real estate, and they will even take over subsequent community properties.
We dare not say that each person has a villa, but in a luxurious commercial garden community, we can still provide each person with a luxury house of over 100 square meters.
We must fundamentally solve the worries of high-quality talents, as long as they have real abilities, including buying a house and starting a family, personal marriage, parents' retirement, children's schooling and so on.
The company will take good care of it!"
Wang Tao didn't react yet, and Lu Fei was almost going crazy, "No, Chairman, this is a huge investment, and it won't affect the company's future development, right?"
“No impact at all!”
Li Zehua smiled confidently, "You don't know that Pinxixi can currently achieve a revenue of more than 1.5 million yuan a day, and the capital market's pursuit of corporate bonds has reached its peak.
Don’t be afraid of having no money, don’t be afraid of the company making losses. In short, you just need to come up with new technologies and show competitiveness. I just want market share!
Don’t worry about money at all!”
Even Wang Tao was shocked by his arrogance. He felt instantly surrounded by happiness. This was the paradise for scientific researchers. They could get whatever they wanted.
Look, buy it if you can, develop it yourself if you can’t, and cooperate with research institutes if your own research is not fast enough. Don’t want profits, just market. Respect technology and respect scientific research talents.
Is there any boss more considerate and touching than this?
Lu Fei now also has his own happy worries, "One hundred million US dollars, eight hundred million RMB, I really don't know which company to acquire first for the time being."
"Make a list and talk to each family one by one."
Li Zehua said it so easily, "Isn't it just 800 million? This is just the budget arrangement until the beginning of next year."
Lu Fei was dumbfounded, "Is there anything else to come?"
Wang Tao pricked up his ears, afraid of missing a single word.
"Of course, the group can invest $100 million in technological breakthroughs this year, and will definitely invest more next year."
Li Zehua was a little speechless, "Don't think that I don't understand technology and am an outsider, but I also know that technology is about continuous upgrading.
If you fall behind, you can merge with others, but that can only bring you a temporary lead. It is better not to invest than to make a one-time investment.
When it comes to scientific research, everyone in the group, including me, is absolutely serious. We either don't do it, or we persist in doing it for years and never give up halfway.
Don't worry, don't question my ability to make money. If you like, just go for it boldly. If you make $100 million this year, you may make $300 or $500 million next year.
I only have a few core requirements: the technology must be completely independent, the industrial chain must be completely localized, and the application of technology must be promoted in a timely manner.
We strive to defeat all our international counterparts, not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of industrial chain layout, so as to reduce costs and make them unprofitable.
I can even say something a little more extreme: you can make a list of your competitors, as long as they are large companies, and if one of these companies goes bankrupt in the future, I will personally pay you a reward of 5 million.”
Wang Tao was completely excited. "Don't worry, when it comes to technology research and development and drones, Dajiang Technology is not afraid of anyone!"
Smart manufacturing, hovering endurance, pneumatic materials, any one of them counts, who is he afraid of?
With Li Zehua's injection of confidence, he is one thousand percent confident in the future of Dajiang!
Li Zehua made a round inspection and met with the scientific research leaders in each sub-sector to convey the group's latest policies.
Wherever I go, I receive the warmest welcome. Scientific research talents are also human beings!
People know what's in people's hearts. Dajiang Technology not only offers high salaries, but also has no worries about research funding. There is no deep-rooted strict hierarchy throughout the company.
There is no seniority system or academic authority worship. Whoever has the ability should take the lead in leading the research direction.
Even the Chief Technology Officer Wang Tao has this temper. Is there anyone among his subordinates who dares to adopt a patriarchal system?
With the addition of Lu Fei, an outstanding management talent, it would be hard for the company not to take off.
By the time they entered the meeting room, Wang Tao had already run away. He was not the boss of the company, so market expectation analysis was none of his business!
Instead of spending this time figuring out how to continue optimizing the system and create better products.
Lu Fei was helpless about this, and he complained as soon as he sat down, "Chairman, please communicate more with Mr. Wang. He doesn't even attend the company's daily management meetings now.
Yes, he focused all his attention on the laboratory, and those new equipment were like his wives, he treasured them very much.
That’s not all. A few days ago, he rejected a company’s customized purchase. Just because of a few words of dissatisfaction, he drove away the friendly business that sent money to his door.”
Facing Lu Fei's complaints, Li Zehua was helpless. "Just kick him out. Anyway, the company's production capacity is not enough now. You can communicate with him again after the upgrade.
For example, when it comes to customized mapping drones, don’t push for limits right from the start. If you don’t have the technology, piling up hardware will be useless.
Also, I'm looking at this thing, if I shrink it a little, can I try to promote it in the commercial field of sports aerial photography drones?"
Speaking of this, Lu Fei was even more helpless, "However, if you were the chairman, you would have a keen eye, and the laboratory would have made a prototype, and you would have specially invited a group of outdoor aerial photography enthusiasts to test it.
The feedback is very good. Although the price of one unit exceeds RMB 100,000, many companies and individuals have expressed their intention to order it. "
At this point, he spread his hands and said, "When I reported it to Mr. Wang, he said he didn't have time to do follow-up optimization for the minicomputer, which almost pissed me off.
We are seeing the professional sports market, worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, slip away again.”
Li Zehua asked curiously: "If it is not optimized, it cannot be used?"
"That's not the case. The key point is that this is a custom machine and the customer's requirements are a little bit more."
Lu Fei explained: "Plus, those enthusiasts are all rich people. For example, they want to spend some money to get some unique technology on the drone. You know, the customer is God.
But Mr. Wang is unwilling, and there is nothing we can do."
"This is easy to handle."
Li Zehua thought about it and said, "Since Lao Wang doesn't have time and doesn't want to be disturbed in his research progress, you can recruit another group of application technology talents to do customized research and development specifically for the market.
Based on the company's existing technology, we can make some minor changes to meet the personalized needs of customers. This shouldn't be difficult, right? "
Lu Fei pondered for a moment, "This is the only way. I don't even dare to let Mr. Wang meet clients now. He has such a bad temper that he can drive people crazy with just a few words."
"Respect technical talents. It's normal for capable people to have a bad temper."
Li Zehua recalled the way Wang Tao looked at him just now. It was even more extreme than when he was in class and the teacher looked at a poor student. He couldn't understand what he was saying at all. How could he respond?
Fortunately, Wang Tao gave him face and didn't call him a blockhead.
Well, he can accept it now, as long as he is not scolded to his face by the technical bosses.
The rest, whatever.
Lu Fei knew that he valued the Dajiang drone very much, but he never thought it would come to this.
He immediately stopped talking nonsense, took out Dajiang's development plan for the future, and explained it to him in detail...
During this time, Li Zehua's cell phone rang several times. Guo Xinyi took it out and looked at it. It was marked with Fu Yujie, his aunt's name, which made him very confused.
Fu Yujie, he knew who it was.
The question is, this aunt?
Who is it again? (End of this chapter)
