Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1475 Smart Drone Company

Li Fuyou is not stupid, she has long noticed that Niu Xiaoqiang seems to care too much about drones.But her character determines that she will never pursue the reason.

Hearing Niu Xiaoqiang's question at this moment, Li Fuyou immediately replied: "I have improved the technology of drones during this time. The new generation of drones has a longer range and a greater load capacity, just because there is no money to buy raw materials. So these technical improvements are only on paper at present, if Secretary Niu needs it, I can start manufacturing immediately.”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with satisfaction: "I will explain to you when necessary in the future. You can work in the laboratory of Packard Motor Company from now on. Your salary is [-] U.S. dollars per year. Remember Wait, don't disclose the salary to the outside world for now, and make it public after you become the deputy director of the research institute."

Li Fuyou nodded immediately: "Thanks to Secretary Niu for his promotion, I will keep the salary a secret."

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "Go back to work, if you have anything to do, you can call my private number, and I will help you solve it."

When Li Fuyou heard this, he didn't turn around and leave. Instead, he said: "Secretary Niu, I heard that you are researching intelligent robots at MIT. Is there such a thing?"

When Niu Xiaoqiang first came to the United States, he had no money. In order to develop his career in the United States, he partnered with Professor Watson to set up an intelligent robot research group. Through the research on intelligent robots, he got the first fund, and only then did he have the follow-up big business. Scale up.

This matter is not a secret, and many people know it.Of course, most people don't know what role Niu Xiaoqiang played in this project. Only those who know his true strength can infer how much Niu Xiaoqiang has contributed.

At this moment, seeing Li Fuyou and Ai Ai asking him about the intelligent robot, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help showing a difference: "Li Fuyou, why are you asking this?"

Li Fuyou replied: "I have an idea, if we can combine each other's technologies, there is a high probability of developing intelligent drones."

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang understand Li Fuyou's thoughts. To be honest, he was not interested in Li Fuyou's proposal. The main reason was that drones were largely in line with the military. He only wants to be a pure businessman, and he already has Cohen Bush as a strong support in politics, which is enough for him.

But seeing the look of hope on Li Fuyou's face, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't refuse clearly.After thinking for a moment, he said, "Li Fuyou, do you think there is a market prospect for intelligent drones?"

Niu Xiaoqiang originally wanted to use the lack of market prospects for smart drones as an excuse to decline Li Fuyou's proposal.Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Li Fuyou immediately nodded and said, "Of course there is a market prospect."

Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment before asking: "What are the market prospects?"

Li Fuyou talked eloquently: "When I went shopping last time, I saw a TV station renting a helicopter to shoot news materials. After asking, I found out that the cost of renting a helicopter is [-] US dollars. And I have to pay extra for the pilot's tip. At that time, I overheard an editor of the TV station complaining that the cost was too high. I once had an idea. If we can develop a drone that can carry camera equipment, as long as it sells If the price is not too expensive, there will definitely be many TV stations willing to buy it, and those photography enthusiasts will also buy it. As long as our products can make a name for themselves, there will be no worries about no orders. The market size of the world is still very large, and this should be possible. Make a lot of money, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded when he heard that, he didn't expect Li Fuyou to have such business acumen.After staying for a while, he finally began to weigh things up. After a while, Niu Xiaoqiang said, "Li Fuyou, how much start-up capital do you think is needed to invest in this project?"

Li Fuyou made this suggestion mainly because she wanted to try a different way of life.In the past, she had a very dull life, either engaged in research and development, or was thinking about technical matters.

If she can get involved in the drone market, Li Fuyou will be able to work hard in business, which will make her life more colorful.

After listening to Niu Xiaoqiang's question, Li Fuyou immediately showed joy: "I think 30 US dollars is enough. This money is mainly used for research and development of technology and procurement of raw materials. We are starting a business and we are just starting out." There is no need to recruit people or rent high-end office buildings, as long as the technology can be developed, I can undertake the follow-up production work alone."

Niu Xiaoqiang thinks that 30 US dollars is not too much, and it is worth a try: "In this case, let's try the water in the smart drone market. The funds will be transferred to you tomorrow at the latest, and I will find someone to register the company." Deal with it, all you need to do is sort out the relevant technologies and submit them to me, and I will find time to cooperate with you in the research and development work."

The UAV with remote control camera function is actually not too complicated. Of course, this is compared to Niu Xiaoqiang. He does not need to spend much energy to develop an intelligent control program. If it is replaced by other people, it is probably very easy Difficult.

Li Fuyou happily nodded and agreed. She was just about to go back to work, but Niu Xiaoqiang stopped her and asked, "Wait a minute, why don't you express your opinion on the company's equity issue?"

Li Fuyou didn't think about the issue of equity at all. In her opinion, she was just making an opinion. No matter what she did in the future, it was her duty as a technician of the group company.

Hearing Niu Xiaoqiang's question at this moment, Li Fuyou couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Secretary Niu, do you mean...do you mean that I can own the shares of the drone company?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile: "You came up with this suggestion, and you are the main developer of drone technology. If I don't let you own the shares, wouldn't it be taking advantage of you?"

When Niu Xiaoqiang said this, he changed the subject: "Of course, all the investment funds are paid by the company. In the future, the company's operations and product marketing will also need other people to assist you. You are equivalent to only investing in technology, so I suggest that you still pay dividends with dry shares, and it is better to wait for the distribution of money in the future, which can save you a lot of trouble."

Li Fuyou nodded happily, and then asked, "How many dry shares do you think it is appropriate for me to take?"

For a long time, Niu Xiaoqiang has taken the lead in cooperating with others, but the drone company is different. Li Fuyou is the main research and development personnel of this company, and it is not unreasonable to have less dry shares.
