Chapter 934: I'm too lazy to even refuse

"Just focus on the movie. I'll take care of this matter."

My wife went home for me on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Xiangyang, who was in Paris, naturally wouldn't let her worry about such trivial matters as endorsements. Macron rode a bike with him and didn't talk about any private topics.

At least, that's what Xiangyang looked like when he was visiting his father-in-law's house.

Little John was very interested in finding out.

"Just take care of yourself." But Xiangyang was too lazy to tell him.

However, Little John also guessed roughly through internal emails of Hermès.

This was the first project that Xiangyang participated in on behalf of the Hermès Group, so as a good friend of his, he naturally remembered it clearly.

A trip to Africa.

I have visited many countries on behalf of the Sports Fund.

I also made a trip to South Africa to show my face.

Hermès' internal documents were also very simple, which was to urgently evacuate the foundation's staff in Libya and assist the sponsored athletes and their families to go to neighboring Algeria.

Of course, Xiang Yang gave direct orders to the sports fund through consultation with Axel.

He came to visit his father-in-law and said everything he should and could say.

When Principal An heard the news, his forehead furrowed.

After repeatedly asking Xiangyang about the authenticity of the source of the information, he did what he should do.

Africa is the traditional "sphere of influence" of roosters.

Colonel Kadi is so happy and has even formed a "Mediterranean Alliance", which will naturally hinder Saddam's strategy of "returning to Africa".

According to this line of thinking, it also points out why before this, the wave of brand promotion carried out by Xiangyang or Hermès in the African continent with culture and sports as the bond was able to receive strong support from France.

"Xiao Xiang, you should focus on your business and try not to get involved in this kind of things in the future." After coming out of his room, Principal An said to his son-in-law with a heavy face.

"Dad, you worry too much."

Xiangyang kept wondering whether his father-in-law meant what he said or if it was meant by someone else.

But it doesn’t really matter who it is.

The fact that Macron came to me to reveal this matter means that it is not a secret at all, and it might even be instructed by Sarkozy.

Moreover, he contacted Axel before coming.

In addition to him, other senior executives at Hermès had also heard about this matter.

"You're right, but I still hope you can stay away from these things." Principal An secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Come on, Dad made dumplings today, let's eat them together."

"Okay, Dad."

Xiangyang responded with a smile.

Nothing tastes better than dumplings~
My wife has dumplings at her own home, and he also has them here.

No one is worse than anyone else.

"Tonight, let's have a little drink and rest here at night?" asked Principal An as he invited his son-in-law to cook dumplings together.

"That's daring."

Xiangyang agreed without thinking.

Whether he was dating Liu Xixi or married until now, he had few opportunities to stay with his father-in-law.

He missed the lawn in front of the old apartment very much.

Not to mention the memories of secretly kissing Liu Xixi in the kitchen.

"Dad, when will you return home?"

"How to say?"

"Haha, it's nothing. I just want to buy this apartment building after my dad passes away." Xiangyang smiled.

This apartment building has three floors.

Good location.

Principal An manages it like his own home.

I'll buy it and give it to my father-in-law as a gift when he retires. It should be a nice gift for him.

Hearing this, Principal An also smiled slightly, and couldn't help but patted his son-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Xiang, do you know what impressed me most when I met you?"

"Dad, tell me."

"From the beginning, I felt that you were a very emotional person." Principal An said with a smile: "Emotional people often understand life better. I am very happy to see that you can take such good care of Xixi. I also hope that you can keep your original intention in mind."

"." Xiangyang said nothing, just nodded.

His father-in-law is pointing a finger at him.

Do not forget the original intention.

It doesn't sound like something that someone of Principal An's level would say.

While he was asking himself if he had forgotten his original intention, he saw Principal An taking out the packaged dumplings from the refrigerator and said speechlessly:

"Since Dad has said so, why don't we just not eat frozen dumplings."

"."

Principal An's hands trembled.

It’s good enough to have something to eat, why be so picky?

挑。

How can I not be picky?

Isn't the purpose of making money to enjoy life better? Who would eat frozen dumplings when you can have handmade ones? The taste won't be the same.

However, eating frozen dumplings with your father-in-law is not without benefits.

At least you can put garlic in the vinegar.

Whether I was with my parents in Xiangshan before New Year's Eve, or in a villa in the suburbs of Shunyi on New Year's Eve, I never had the privilege of eating garlic.

After having dinner with his father-in-law and returning to the room where he and Liu Qianqian used to live to rest for a while, Xiangyang started to get busy.

Xiangyang is actually very interested in Canon's endorsement.

But the endorsement fee couldn't impress him.

How much can Canon pay at most? 2000 million, 4000 million, or 8000 million per year?
Converted into Euros, this amount of money was not a big deal in Xiangyang's eyes, but there was one thing from Canon that interested him very much.

To be more specific, it's not just Canon.

Xiangyang is very interested in brands such as Zeiss, Hasselblad, Schneider, Leica, etc.

After shooting the Vlog, he asked Bi Shaffer to contact the DJ staff to come to Paris to communicate with him.

After understanding, it was found that DJ obtained a considerable amount of financing from him and Shenzhen Investment Holdings, and recruited talents in China in a short period of time to expand the independent research and development capabilities of the R&D team.

However, due to the early technical accumulation and product layout, the flight control system still achieved significant technological breakthroughs.

One is for helicopters and the other is for drones.

Together, they can be said to be the first flight control systems in the entire industry designed specifically for real/entertainment helicopters and drones.

This control system will greatly reduce the difficulty of operation.

Based on the built-in functions, it can also automatically provide the operator with some correction and control experience that is no less than professional level.

For example, semi-automatic take-off and landing, flybar-less system and fail-safe protection.

The first DJ drone based on this built-in system is also under development.

Xiang Yang has mentioned before that he hopes DJ can also develop a sports camera based on Go Pro's products that is easy to carry, compact, and has sufficient power, and some progress has been made.

As a liberal arts student, Xiangyang doesn’t quite understand the technical aspects of this.

However, during the communication, there was one thing he heard very clearly.

That is, whether DJ is developing drones or producing sports cameras, there is a critical node that needs to be crossed.

That is the lens that the product itself will be equipped with.

Of course, there are historical and technological reasons behind this.

The world's optical lens industry originated in 1608, and China's optical technology development started in the s and s. It is not easy to catch up with others' leading technology in materials and processes in just a few decades.

But the gap must also be acknowledged.

However, with the rapid development of the global video surveillance market around 2000, many domestic lens companies have also seized this new opportunity.

With the help of Shenzhen Investment Holdings, DJ has contacted many companies in the Pearl River Delta.

The advantage of having a big tree to provide shade is once again demonstrated.

You should know that the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions have the most complete industrial chains related to the global lens industry.

Since 2008, the relevant manufacturing processes have become increasingly mature, and in order to maintain their competitiveness, companies themselves have also been making continuous breakthroughs in optical technology.

It is just a lens adapted for sports cameras and drones.

It’s not something that if you want it today, you can get it tomorrow like magic.

In addition to market and funds, R&D also requires time.

so.
Canon offered money, but Xiangyang, who had no shortage of money, was not very interested. However, he would be willing to provide matching lens modules for subsequent products according to DJ's needs.

Maybe Xiangyang will be very interested.

In other words, although Canon’s plan was good, it did not touch Xiangyang’s heart.

Moreover, with the existence of more eye-catching lens brands like Leica, Hasselblad and Zeiss, there is no need to go with Canon even if we want to cooperate.

Samsung also has its own camera.

Canon's SLR cameras certainly have a high market share.

But that's now.

No one really thinks that the SLR market is huge, right?

I am sorry.

Since the birth of smartphones and the subsequent rise of the markets for drones and sports cameras, SLR cameras have become a thing of the past, except for the gimmick of expensive lenses.

If it weren't for China's digital market, there would still be a certain demand for SLR cameras.

Then the major camera brands will have an even harder time.

Not to mention that consumers are gradually abandoning digital cameras, even lens manufacturers are investing more energy into the research and development of mobile phones, drones, and sports cameras.

Have you ever seen drones or sports cameras on the market using Canon lenses?
It is not a player in this field at all.

In 2020, Canon wanted to get a share of the civilian-grade drone market, but what was the result?

Just like its early products in the field of industrial drones, it failed to make any waves at all.

"Shaffer, please help me reject Canon temporarily. Just say that I like their products very much. You can make up the rest."

After picking up the phone and briefly explaining things to his assistant, Xiang Yang called Wang Tao, the person in charge of DJ, according to his own ideas.

When he heard the depressed voice from the other end, he remembered the jet lag.

amount.

Excuse me.

I saw my wife also posted a photo of eating dumplings and forgot about it.

the next day.

When I woke up in the morning, Principal An was no longer at home.

After driving to a parking space near HYS's office building, Xiangyang came to the coffee shop he used to frequent.

A cup of coffee and a croissant is his breakfast.

It’s frustrating that the free coupon that Little John gave him can’t be used here at all.

"Damn, this guy really practices the four words 'never forget your original intention'!" When I saw the free coupon in my wallet, there was actually a redemption deadline.

Unless otherwise expected, these redemption coupons will expire soon.

It is really the unscrupulous businessmen and misers who have come together to unscrupulously bully kind-hearted consumers.

Xiangyang cursed and angrily took out his phone, "Shafer! Contact COSTA COFE for me! I need to find them for something!"

"."

Bi Shaf was speechless as her sweet dream was disturbed by Xiangyang.

Didn’t we agree to give her a day off when she comes back?

It would have been fine if he just called me last night, but he also didn't let me sleep well this morning.

What an evil boss.

You should tie a rope with the calfskin from the store and hang it on the side of the road.
