Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 218 Chapter 217, You Really Have Nothing (5K)

Lin Chu really didn't understand much about this new thing called "low-altitude aircraft".

However, the new track plus the high-tech gimmick really made him excited.

Not just because men’s romance is the stars and the sea.

And because it was said out loud, his status soared to the sky.

The pursuit of innovation is the pursuit of the future. Although it is high-risk, it may also have high returns.

To take a step back...

As long as this thing is developed and mass-produced, the average customer price will definitely be higher than the annual membership fee for a golf club, right?

Even if you give it as a gift, you won't lose anything.

You definitely won’t lose money.

"Hey, buddy, is there a traffic jam? I'll give you a plane!"

Tsk.

Thinking of that scene, Lin Chu felt happy.

Lin Chu was lost in thought as he flipped through his WeChat contact list, trying to find a few people who might have knowledge in this field.

The more friends you have, the easier the road will be.

I have a lot of friends now.

Of course, Lin Chu cannot fully trust Chen Yuanxing now, both in terms of his character and ability.

Since I'm going to discuss this with him at noon, first of all, I need to have a general understanding of it.

Don't be fooled.

Flipping through the list, his eyes suddenly moved slightly, and Lin Chu saw a name that he had some impression of.

Gu Tong.

Partner of MQ Investments.

I met her the last time I played golf at Guanlan Golf Club. She is a professional investor and a very mature older sister.

When the LC Golf Club opened, she was invited to attend the ceremony, but she was on a business trip at the time and could not come back, so she only sent two large flower baskets.

She must also want to make friends.

"What have you been busy with recently? Mr. Gu, do you have any research on the low-altitude aircraft track?"

Lin Chu casually sent her a message, without any unnecessary pleasantries, and got straight to the point.

Time is precious.

If you just send a message like "Are you there?", the old woman might think you want to seduce her.

"Wow, Mr. Lin, you are so well-informed. What can I do for you?"

Gu Tong replied quickly, with surprise revealed between the lines.

Lin Chu: "How do you say well-informed?"

I had a vague guess in my mind, but it certainly couldn't be considered a coincidence.

As venture capital institutions, they definitely pay the strongest attention to new fields, and they are likely to have turned their attention to this area?

The nose is very dog-like.

"MQ held a meeting two days ago and predicted that low-altitude aircraft will be one of the hottest sectors in the next five to ten years. We are conducting a survey of the entire industry. The headquarters has given us a billion US dollars investment quota to focus on companies with growth potential. If it is not enough, we can add more. What do you need, Mr. Lin?"

Gu Tong said directly.

This is not a trade secret.

After all, it is an investment, so we have to publicize it with great fanfare and cast a wide net, hoping that relevant projects will come to us, and then we can evaluate and examine them one by one.

Lin Chu: "Hahaha, what a coincidence, I have also been paying attention to this track recently. I'm asking shamelessly, can you show me your internal analysis materials?"

It was only a one-time meeting, and Lin Chu wasn't sure if he had the face to do so.

But we had a pretty good chat last time, so I might as well give it a try.

"Sure, but you are not allowed to circulate it a second time. I will send you the file, and you apply for the password. I will review and approve it, and it will be burned after you read it."

Gu Tong thought about it for about ten seconds and finally agreed.

The above is official business, but this behavior is a personal favor.

Of course, this kind of information is not confidential, but not everyone can see it.

A complete and professional industry analysis report with a market value of at least six figures.

"Okay, no problem. I promise to keep it a secret. Thanks."

Lin Chu said politely.

Soon, Lin Chu received the information she sent, applied for a password, and began to read it carefully.

"I'll get back to you later, just take a look first."

Tsk.

The feeling of face scanning is still good.

It’s even more fun to get it for free.

My name, Lin Chu, is becoming more and more valuable now.

Of course, it’s definitely not because he is handsome, but because of his strength.

……

Lin Chu watched intently.

MQ's industry analysis report covers all aspects, including market prospects, technical routes, implementation difficulty, approval standards, business costs...all on paper, making it extremely professional, with a total of more than one hundred pages.

Lin Chu naturally couldn’t understand a lot of technical things, but he could still understand the general principles.

The technology for low-altitude aircraft is now quite mature.

It can definitely be made.

The difficulty lies mainly in its application in commercial scenarios.

It is definitely not realistic to make it as popular as cars, with every family owning one and flying everywhere. It is too sci-fi and has not yet developed to that level.

This type of aircraft will still be a luxury item for only a few people in the next five to ten years.

Moreover, it is likely to start from the public transportation sector, where routes are fixed and management is convenient.

However, as a new thing, the market gap means broad prospects. The analysis report conservatively estimates that the market size will exceed one trillion within five years, which is a foregone conclusion.

Now many giants in the travel field have begun to pay attention to this area and have entered the market.

Look at these.

Suddenly.

Lin Chu noticed another detail.

This report actually contains a key piece of information: Peking University Pengcheng Graduate School, an industry-university-research base, and an institution called "Low-altitude Flight Laboratory."

This laboratory is headed by a Peking University professor named Su Chaoyue, who is one of the leading scholars in this field. His technical level is at least among the top three in the country, and he holds more than twenty core patents.

One of the most important core patents is the start-stop control system. The paper on it was published just half a month ago. It is of extremely high quality and has attracted widespread attention.

I go?

Looking at these, Lin Chu's heart was slightly moved.

Suddenly I thought of many things.

In fact, I had a flash of thought when school started yesterday.

——How could an ordinary MBA opening ceremony invite a big shot like Li Bin?
And there is Tang Ruobo.

Li Bin and Tang Rubo, although both graduated from Peking University, are in the automotive industry. It is really a coincidence that they appear at such an occasion at the same time.

Now it seems that perhaps it may not be entirely a coincidence.

And it's like the wolf smelled meat, which probably has something to do with this laboratory.

as well as……

Chen Yuanxing.

He signed up for an MBA, but hadn't attended classes for three years. His sudden arrival at this time was quite clever.

Maybe, they all came for this laboratory.

"Instead, I got involved in this matter by accident."

Lin Chu couldn't help but mutter to himself, smacking the flavor.

However, Chen Yuanxing did not reveal any of this information last night.

"Thanks, I have an idea now. I'll treat you to dinner later."

Lin Chu casually replied to Gu Tong.

Gu Tong teased, "Isn't this too perfunctory? At least set a specific time. What are you busy with recently?"

Sayings like "treating you for a meal later" are most likely just out of politeness and are totally unrealistic.

"Hahaha, I'm really busy lately. There are a lot of things to do with the club, and I'm also studying for an MBA at Peking University. Weekends, weekends for sure."

Lin Chu was "caught" by her, so he also said it.

It's just a meal, not a big deal.

"Ok?"

"With your level, do you still need to study for an MBA at Peking University? You guys are really like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing off their magical powers. Are you all heading for Su Chaoyue's laboratory?"

"But you're taking a roundabout way of saving the country! They're trying to steal technology, and their heads are almost blown off!"

Gu Tong continued to tease.

After seeing this, Lin Chu understood everything in his heart.

It seems that this laboratory may be quite important in this field.

"Who are you referring to when you say 'they'?"

Lin Chuduo asked another question.

Gu Tong: "Toyota from abroad and NIO from China are both auto giants. There are two newly established companies that make low-altitude aircraft. They are all invested by giants and are also keeping an eye on them. DJI, a local company in Pengcheng, is also keeping an eye on this laboratory."

"But foreign investment is basically out of the question. We believe that Professor Su's research results may be included in the list of prohibited exports. Even if we want to seek commercial cooperation, we still need to obtain approval from the administrative department."

“MQ only invests in mature commercial companies and laboratories. We don’t want to get involved for now. The risk is too great.”

Gee tut.

lively!

Is it so intense?

From this point of view, Chen Yuanxing seems to be a complete swindler. He hasn't even started yet. He has nothing. His technology is probably not mature and his investment is not in place.

This guy is a real ruthless person.

"Okay, I got it. Thank you very much. I'll treat you this weekend. Sunday night at 8 o'clock, InterContinental, the one in OCT." Lin Chu once again accurately wrote down the time and place.

This was where I had my first date with Liao Meili. It was definitely of a high standard, super luxurious.

Gu Tong: "(Thumbs up) You really are a man who won't stop until you see the rabbit. I'm convinced. You're here on time."

Now that the time and place have been set, the dinner is finally completely settled.

Gu Tong was a little speechless and wanted to laugh. What a great man! He was so smart.

Lin Chu: “OK.”

End the chat decisively.

This is the importance of connections.

If she wasn't there, it would take me who knows how long to sort out this information gap.

……

noon.

Lin Chu and Chen Yuanxing booked a meal at a restaurant near the school, just the two of them, and just ate something casually, mainly chatting about things.

"Let's talk about the facts. If the first aircraft is mass-produced, it is considered 100% complete. How far have you come so far?"

After ordering the dishes and quickly filling his stomach, Lin Chu spoke directly, his tone sounding somewhat questioning.

The more Lin Chu thought about it, the more he felt that he was unreliable.

Chen Yuanxing's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a very confident smile: "30%, if the investment is in place, 50% immediately, all the preliminary preparations are done, and the rest is to produce step by step."

Lin Chu's face was calm, and he looked at him thoughtfully.

“Have the technical difficulties of low-altitude navigation been resolved?”

This is one of the research results of Su Chaoyue's laboratory.

Low-altitude navigation is much more important than ground navigation, and is also much more difficult to implement. After all, it is a three-dimensional space and involves airspace control.

Chen Yuanxing's face was slightly stunned and he touched his nose subconsciously.

This is indeed the most core issue and one of the most difficult ones.

only……

He had never expected that Lin Chu, who had acted like a layman last night and could only make jokes about Stephen Chow's movies, would suddenly become an expert today?
Asking such an expert question?
what happened?
Got initiated?

"Well, there are already mature solutions on the market. As long as we have the money, we just need to pay some technology usage fees and we can use it directly."

"After all, if we develop the system by ourselves, the time and economic cost is really too high, which is not something a startup company can afford."

"I expect that after the finished product is produced and our order volume reaches 1,000 units, this technology node will enter the independent research and development process."

He still spoke with great confidence and certainty, revealing a strong sense of conviction.

Seeing Lin Chu staring at him with scrutinizing eyes, he couldn't help but raise his voice a little higher and continued to explain.

"Do something!"

"If you wait until everything is ready before you do it, the opportunity will be lost!"

"I have a goal first, then I collect resources and solve problems. Once I see the destination, I will work hard to overcome all obstacles along the way!"

As he spoke, he waved his hands passionately, looking like a very successful person.

Lin Chu smiled without comment.

This idea is not wrong.

but……

“So my money is the cost of trial and error, right?”

Lin Chu said casually, still looking relaxed.

It cannot be completely said that he is a liar.

However, his style of doing things is very radical, he dares to think, and he is also good at integrating resources.

But, if that's all, it's definitely not enough.

Are you going to compete with others for your head?

Whatever you want, you don't have it.

Chen Yuanxing immediately said, "Hey, how can you say that? When starting a business, you have to contribute money and effort. I have already invested 10 million yuan, most of my assets."

"Boss Lin, please believe me. I have full confidence in this project."

"All the technical difficulties are not a problem. As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine."

This hairy...

It's really good at fooling people.

“So, NIO, Toyota, and DJI all have no money?”

"Or... Professor Su Chaoyue, is he your relative?"

Lin Chu suddenly asked with a smile.

I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

A sword seals the throat.

Come on, explain!

Do you really think I don’t understand?

Chen Yuanxing:!

His eyes suddenly widened.

He didn't expect that Lin Chu knew all this information overnight.

what happened!
Or, does Lin Chu himself have such a terrifying network of contacts?

At this moment, Chen Yuanxing was completely certain that if he wanted to gain Lin Chu's approval, he had to give his 100% strength.

Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Hahaha…Originally this is my core secret. I don’t want to tell you about it before the investment is confirmed. I hope Mr. Lin can understand. But now that we’ve come to this point, I’ll just say it straight away.”

"It's like this. My nephew is Professor Su's student, his direct disciple, who followed him from graduate school to doctoral degree. He can be said to be the second-in-command of the laboratory. His papers and patents are all signed by him. Is this enough?"

"He is the technical core of my entire team, so technically, there is definitely no problem at all. We just lack money now."

"Of course, it's not realistic for us to empty Professor Su's entire laboratory, and the investment would be too huge, but there will definitely be no problem with the authorization to use the technology."

Chen Yuanxing stared at Lin Chu with bright and scorching eyes.

He always felt that starting a business was like a skilled cook cooking without rice. Ingredients had to be found one by one, and once they were found, they would be there. Slowly integrating them, everything that was needed would be there. Getting started was more important than anything else.

As long as you are determined enough, you will always meet the right person.

After all, there are so many people and so much money in the country.

Lin Chu looked him over.

This should be true.

After all, it is easy to tell whether this kind of thing is true or false, it cannot be forged, and you can find out by just asking around.

This should also be Chen Yuanxing’s greatest confidence and trump card.

"Have you talked to Professor Su?"

Lin Chu asked again.

Chen Yuanxing: "No, but I know him very well. I just rented a house two days ago, right next to his house, across the street."

"The old professor is obsessed with technology, has a stubborn temper and a stubborn personality. He has been researching this technology for decades. He is not opposed to commercialization, but he has not yet selected a suitable partner."

"My nephew said that they probably planned to adopt a horse racing mechanism. He would license the technology and let several companies work together first to see which one ran faster and did better. Once the finished product came out, they would further deepen the cooperation."

Tsk.

really do.

He even used face recognition to rent a house.

It's like picking up girls.

It really takes some thought.

“How much money do you think it will cost upfront?”

Lin Chu asked as if nothing had happened.

"In the first year, one hundred million, at least."

"It's too little. All the progress will be slowed down. Of course, this is the total investment. I also need to meet other investors. I have met a few before and have decided on one. It will be around 30 million, but it's still not enough."

"As for the shares, I am willing to give up most of them as long as my management rights are guaranteed. It's like making a cake, so we should expand the scope and make the cake bigger first!"

Seeing that Lin Chu was gradually convinced by him, Chen Yuanxing's attitude became more and more arrogant.

He still had high expectations for Lin Chu.

After all, young people are easy to talk to and have a lot of money.

Although Lin Chu is also smart, this is normal.

I didn't mean to deceive him, and the negotiations haven't broken down yet.

"If you get the technology license, I'll give you 100 million, and we can decide the share ratio later. Without this prerequisite, there's no point in discussing anything."

"Of course, I can help with this. Let's do it together."

Lin Chu said seriously.

Suddenly, I felt inexplicably excited.

Toyota? NIO? DJI?

This is probably going to be a head-on confrontation.

Of course, it is not a direct competition, but more like a bidding, everyone is going to do public relations for Professor Su.

"Okay, no problem. With you here, I feel more at ease. After all, I'm not from Pengcheng. Although Professor Su is very important, relationships in all aspects are also very important."

“If you can get the parts manufacturers on board, that would be even better.”

When Chen Yuanxing saw Lin Chu finally nodded, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

Lin Chu rolled his eyes at him.

"You really have nothing!"

"Do you want me to build another factory for you?"

Chen Yuanxing chuckled: "That's not impossible. If you really have a factory, our business will be much easier. We can make spare parts instead of aircraft. It's better to sell hoes than to dig for gold."
