Chapter 120 Let me show you something good
October 15th.
Pengcheng, Bao'an International Airport.
Bai Xi slowly walked out of the terminal, looked up at the bright afternoon sun, and squinted his eyes slightly.
It is now the cool and refreshing autumn season in Shanghai, while the temperature in Shenzhen is still around 30 degrees Celsius.
As expected, the temperature difference between the north and the south becomes greater as winter approaches.
"Miss, the car is here."
Xiao Rui appeared beside her with a suitcase and whispered.
Xu Zhiwen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was also following him.
Ever since Bai Xi decided to start a business and establish his own top technology company.
"Fuxi Technology" began to recruit people, and Xu Zhiwen, who was poached earlier, was also drafted into the army and temporarily took on the role of business manager. The content of his work was similar to his previous one, which was considered a return to his old profession.
It's just that Party B has become Party A, and the situation has changed.
This time I came to Pengcheng, of course I had something important to do.
Hadn't she previously arranged for Xiao Rui to contact Dajiang to see if there was any chance to acquire it, but the contact did not go very smoothly.
Although Bai Xi had searched for it before, Dajiang was not very famous at the moment and was far from being the behemoth that would become one of the top 10 unicorn companies in China in the future.
But in some cases, if you are not in the financial circle, you may not be so well-informed.
Dajiang completed three rounds of financing this year, and obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in investment from several investment institutions led by Sequoia Capital. In addition, although its profitability is not as strong as in later generations, it is now a medium-sized enterprise with an annual income of more than one billion and hundreds of employees.
To sum it up in one sentence, they are not short of money, and relying on brute force of money probably won't work.
The main reason is that what Bai Xi wants to do is quite demanding. She wants Dajiang to redesign the production line and produce products according to her needs.
This means that she cannot just invest, but must also have controlling stake.
What would Dajiang's boss think about this? Sequoia Capital, with such a huge scale, just gives money and doesn't get involved, but you come in and want to buy both the people and the company?
Not turning you away is already a sign of respect for the "Fu" in "Fuxi Technology".
Bai Xi was also helpless. The drones and other products she produced must have intelligent units to be connected to the cellular network and become part of "mechanical intelligence". Otherwise, if she took them back, they would be of no use except as toys.
Fortunately, to deal with technology geeks, we naturally have to start with technology. In addition, although the current level of drones seems advanced, it is actually still a bit far behind what Bai Xi saw in the System Overlord Knowledge Inheritance.
Bai Xi simply went back to the Magic City after the celebration, asked Shen Fei for some materials and machines, brought them back to the villa, and set up a studio in front of the shocked expressions of Xiao Rui and others.
With the cooperation of "Queen Bee" Bai Ze, three cutting-edge drones that maximize the performance of current hardware have come into being.
After briefly testing the performance of the drone, Bai Xi packed it up and sent it to Dajiang, Pengcheng. He also followed without stopping and had just landed.
"Miss, shall we go to the hotel and rest first?"
After the group got into the car, Xiao Rui turned around and asked.
"Let's go straight to Dajiang. Let's make a quick decision. We have a lot to do this time."
Bai Xi shook his head and replied.
"Ok."
Xiao Rui nodded, entered an address into the navigation software, and signaled the driver to start driving.
......
Dajiang's headquarters is quite far away, located in a remote corner of Nanshan District. Bai Xi and others drove from the airport for almost an hour to arrive.
It is an ordinary office building with some traces of factory transformation. It is far less magnificent than the "Sky City", the headquarters of Dajiang in later generations. This is where Dajiang started his business and is also the location of their current company.
After receiving the news, Wang Tao brought his people to wait downstairs early in the morning. Although he was not very enthusiastic about Bai Xi's idea of acquiring his company, after all, Fudan University was behind "Fuxi Technology", and he still had a certain degree of respect for the influence of this famous university.
Besides, no one can resist money. If we can convince the other party to invest in our company, we can also bring Fudan into the market. Why not do it?
The business car stopped at the door of the building. Wang Tao led people to greet it. When he saw Bai Xi, he was obviously stunned. The boss of this company is so young and has such a high appearance. Is he sure that he is not a young lady who comes here for fun?
Wang Tao extended his hand and asked tentatively, "Mr. Bai? Nice to meet you."
Bai Xi smiled and shook his hand: "Hello, Mr. Wang."
Xiao Rui and Xu Zhiwen, who had just opened the door for her, stood silently on both sides behind her.
Wang Tao looked at the two of them. One was as handsome as a nobleman, and the other was as elegant as a scholar. Although his face remained expressionless, he was even more convinced that the other was a rich lady who came here for fun.
But he didn't have any contempt for her. Even if it was just for fun, Fudan's endorsement was real, which only proved the formidable background of the other party.
Wang Tao said, "Your company's goods arrived yesterday. I had them moved up, and there's no sign of damage or opening."
"That's good, shall we go upstairs and talk?"
"please."
Dajiang's office was on the third floor. They rented the entire floor. Wang Tao brought the company members and led Bai Xi upstairs.
Compared to the office Bai Xi had seen at ManpowerGroup before, this one was much more plain and simple. Cubicles were the main structure. Except for a few young ladies at the front desk and in administration, the employees were basically all men, all technical personnel.
After a brief tour and a brief introduction of his company, Wang Tao took Bai Xi to the company's conference room.
After entering and sitting down, they simply drank two sips of tea and exchanged business ideas for a while. Wang Tao was still waiting for Bai Xi to talk about the acquisition so that he could refuse and then proceed to the next step of deceiving him.
Bai Xi did not mention this matter at all, but instead made another request:
"Mr. Wang, would you mind demonstrating your company's products to me? Of course, anything involving commercial secrets is not necessary."
Wang Tao was stunned. This was a development he had not expected. He nodded readily. Most of these products were designed by him personally.
To a tech geek like him, they are no different from his own children. Which good parent would be unwilling to introduce their children to others?
Half an hour later, several people came down from Dajiang, almost everyone holding a different type of drone. They also helped to move the metal box sent by Baixi and gathered it in the open space behind the office building, which was also the venue they usually used for experiments.
A few technical guys greeted Wang Tao and started the demonstration.
The first to take off was the DJI Phantom 1, the world's first all-in-one aerial camera that made DJI famous. A square aircraft with multiple rotors began to fly over the venue.
But it was only cool for three seconds, and the battery ran out after flying for less than ten minutes.
It doesn't seem to work...
Bai Xi blinked.
Wang Tao coughed, battery life is indeed the shortcoming of his own products.
The other guys on standby quickly continued and showed Bai Xi three or four different rotorcrafts, some of which looked like helicopters and some of which could be folded.
But overall, they are all toy-level, with almost no load-bearing capacity, very poor battery life, not enough time to go to the toilet, and the controllable range is basically within one kilometer.
Bai Xi was a little disappointed. Compared with what she saw in later life, this was quite far from it. She had been working hard for half a month, but it seemed like she was using an anti-aircraft cannon to kill a mosquito.
But think about it, times are changing so fast. The iPhone 4 that was released a few years ago and caused a sensation in the industry could only be exchanged for two stainless steel basins before her rebirth.
The speed at which technology develops can sometimes be frightening.
That's fine, in that case...
Bai Xi squatted down and unlocked the combination lock of the metal box next to him. He said to Engineer Dajiang and Wang Tao, who had already finished the demonstration:
"Let me show you something really good!"
