Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 352 Rong Nianqing: This is home (6k views, please subscribe)

Looking at the array of drones still flying in the sky, quietly displaying their lights, President He felt a particularly complex mix of emotions.

President He is well aware of Dongda's industrial capabilities. After all, President He himself is in charge of equipment logistics research and development and is familiar with the country's cutting-edge industrial research and development. However, as many domestic military enterprises begin to shift to the civilian market, or as military enterprises merge with private enterprises, many technologies that were originally used in the military field have begun to flow into the civilian sector.

And thanks to the ingenious ideas of many companies in the private sector, many wonderful reactions have occurred.

Because of these amazing reactions, Mr. He and his team are gradually investigating and assessing private enterprises in China, and they have indeed discovered many hidden "black technology" applications.

Looking at the array of drones that hovered steadily in mid-air with almost no movement, President He was speechless after his initial impression. Dongda University is full of natural resources and talented people, and they have been investigating and screening for so long, yet they still left such a big blind spot.

The drone array that Lü Yao showed him was fine in other aspects, but the difficulty lay in the control and the precision of the control. Although these drones were so obedient now, and could even resolutely complete the pre-input commands under electromagnetic pulse interference, in President He's research sequence, even such quiet control commands had failed many times.

Under the canopy restaurant, although Lü Yao was also looking at the array of drones in the sky, most of his attention was actually focused on President He.

Yu Guang never got off President He.

Although China’s electrification industry began to be fully promoted around 2014, it did not achieve much breakthrough in the first few years of the plan. Even though the relevant authorities offered very favorable subsidies and benefits, these benefits and subsidies were exploited by some unscrupulous manufacturers in China who liked to take advantage of loopholes.

For example, Zotye and WM Motor, which were once short-lived.

Even the once wildly popular Wuling Mini electric car was just a product Wuling used to sell credit points.

As the chaos surrounding electric vehicles in China became increasingly outrageous, Tesla electric vehicles were introduced to the Chinese market in 2018. One of the clauses in the performance-based agreement with Tesla was that "Tesla electric vehicles must be 100% localized in terms of parts within five years."

It was only with Tesla's entry into China and its strong push into the domestic electric vehicle supply chain that the previously chaotic electric vehicle industry gradually became more standardized, and companies like Zotye and WM Motor disappeared.

In some ways, Tesla's status in the country is quite strange.

Tesla is the Apple of the automotive industry, and also the "Xiaomi Group" of the automotive industry.

Now it is 2016, and the electrification market is in its most chaotic state. At this time, private enterprises are like a swarm of greenbottle flies that have fallen into the toilet, all playing around blindly. While many non-private enterprises have sufficient technological reserves, they have not yet achieved breakthroughs in key technologies.

It was at this critical juncture that Lü Yao appeared before President He with his "Phantom Technology".

How could this not please President He?

The emergence of Phantom Technology filled a crucial gap in their research and development process. In Lü Yao's memory, this gap was not expected to be overcome until the end of 2019, and then it would be unveiled three years later, shocking the world and even changing the views of countless military enthusiasts and strategists around the world on the form of warfare.

In the early stages of future wars, the competition may only be about the industrial capabilities of one or more parties. Only when the industrial potential of both sides is exhausted will it return to a contest of flesh and blood and willpower.

Turning his gaze away from the still array of colorful drone lights against the night sky, President He looked at Lü Yao beside him with a sigh: "Little Lü, I really like this gift, and I have to accept it. Don't say I'm too greedy later."

As he spoke, President He burst into hearty laughter.

Rong Nianqing and Aunt Meng both smiled.

But Lü Yao shook his head and laughed, "This is just the beginning. My gift-giving isn't over yet."

As he spoke, Lü Yao looked at Wang Yushu again. Upon receiving the signal, Wang Yushu once again instructed the operators in the darkness to get moving. As one large black box after another was opened, robot dogs appeared on the grass. They filed out of the large black boxes and began to work quickly according to the pre-entered instructions.

Some of these robotic dogs took out standardized profiles from a black box and began building structures, while others connected to water pipes on their own and began watering operations.

There are even robotic dogs that carry fuel tanks to a designated location, and with a snap of their four legs, they transform into a flaming gas stove.

The dazzling performance left President He somewhat overwhelmed. Towards the end, he even saw four robotic dogs transform into a multi-functional battlefield rescue stretcher by connecting profiles...

Dozens of mechanical dogs were like a group of children performing tricks in the open space in front of the Sky Restaurant, and just looking at them, it actually gave off a kind of childlike fun.

But that's the perspective of an outsider.

For a big shot like President He, those robotic dogs that use standardized materials to build structures are clearly logistics soldiers on the future battlefield.

The robotic dog connected to the water pipe can also transform into a terrifying weapon that sprays poison or toxic mist at any time.

As for the robotic dog that can carry fuel tanks, it can also transform into a fire messenger from hell at any time.

If all these things can be controlled, what kind of combat power could these robot dogs exert if two fully automatic firepower output devices were mounted on each side of the robot dog, and an ammunition box was carried on their backs? He simply couldn't imagine it.

President He's vision of future warfare has been completely transformed and overturned by the combined efforts of these drones and robot dogs.

think about it.

In the future, when two armies are at war, you bring out all your big guns, such as planes and artillery, and then a swarm of drones rushes over and bombards you with bullets. Wouldn't you be devastated?

You didn't even see the person before they were rendered useless.

Thinking of this, President He suddenly asked, "How much do these drones and robot dogs cost?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "If we don't include the high-precision and high-definition camera, and it's just the bare machine, the cost is less than a thousand. The cost of the robot dog is no more than twenty thousand. Of course, if it can be mass-produced, the cost can be even lower."

This is also a staple of Industrial Cthulhu, where anything produced in large quantities can fetch a surprisingly good price.

At this, President He couldn't help but gasp in shock.

In terms of cost, it's indeed not high.

But it would be outrageous if it could be any cheaper.

But this is normal.

With Mr. He's insight, he certainly understood that the real value of these drones and robot dogs was never in their parts, but in the software that enabled these electronic creations to operate and obey commands.

So President He asked the pointed question: "Then, what about the supporting command system?"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "President He is indeed insightful. The real power that gives these electronic creations is the invisible and intangible thing behind them. It is the system that our more than 3,000 technical engineers have painstakingly developed day and night."

Such an important item should not be displayed casually.

President He understood what Lü Yao meant and laughed heartily, "Little Lü, didn't you call me here to discuss cooperation? You said it was a gift, but I think you've got me wrapped around your little finger. Come, come, let's sit down and talk."

But Lü Yao waved his hand and said in a joking tone, "Look, Mr. He, you're in a hurry again. I haven't finished showing off my gift yet."

President He was overjoyed, even feeling a little numb: "Huh? There's more?"

As he spoke, President He simply took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Come on, let me take another look."

Then, Lü Yao showed the final underwater mimicry octopus robot to President He. After seeing it, President He burst into laughter: "Little Lü, and Little Wang, come here too. I'm really curious, what exactly does your Magical Mechanics Technology Company do?"

Wang Yushu replied with particular enthusiasm: "Our company, Huanxie Technology, is a robotics technology company that aims for high precision and cutting-edge technology. Our goal is to make the domestic robotics ecosystem and market prosperous and ever-changing!"

He recited it as if he were reciting a memorized text.

This dogmatic answer made President He pause for a moment before he burst into hearty laughter again. Then President He smiled at Aunt Meng and Rong Nianqing and said, "I particularly admire this young Wang. He has the pure spirit of a researcher."

Wang Yushu scratched his head, realizing that his answer might have been a bit inappropriate.

Lu Yao then added from behind, "Currently, this underwater biomimetic octopus robot still has many problems, such as insufficient battery life, unstable communication, and a limited lifespan for the octopus robotic arm, etc..."

But President He waved his hand and said, "These are minor issues. Come, come, let's sit down and talk."

After everyone was seated again, President He pondered for a moment and then said, "Xiao Lü, since you called me over, you must want to cooperate. Let's talk about cooperation."

"Regarding the research results you have shown me so far, I can assure you that your research and development funding will be unlimited in the future."

Wang Yushu was stunned.

What does "no upper limit" mean?

Is there such a thing as investing?
Before Wang Yushu could figure it out, President He continued, "At the same time, I can also show you my entire technology library. Any resources, whether financial, human, or material, will be provided to you unconditionally if needed."

Wang Yushu was a little numb.

He realized that this time, Lü Yao seemed to have really led him on a big spree.

As President He recounted his story, Wang Yushu remained bewildered, while Lü Yao listened quietly.

Everything in this world has a price tag, some are marked in the open, and some are marked in the shadows.

Lu Yao was waiting to see the "price" behind these generous benefits.

Mr. He quickly replied, “I am showing great sincerity, so I require that I hold more than 34% of the shares in your company. At the same time, you must fully open up your technology to me. Of course, you can rest assured that even if I obtain your technology, I will never compete with you in the market.”

Lu Yao smiled and nodded: "Of course we're not worried about that." The Poly Group, to which President He belongs, has always maintained a relatively low profile, far less well-known than the other three companies. Even in the future real estate industry, Poly has always been the type to work quietly.

But Mr. He then added, "When I say technology is open, it naturally includes supporting software."

When this was mentioned, Lü Yao looked at Rong Nianqing.

Rong Nianqing, who was also at the dining table, finally smiled after a long silence on the edge: "Uncle He, you're putting him in too difficult a position. The software support for Huanxie Technology is provided by another technology company, and that company already has someone with a similar background to you as a shareholder."

President He was stunned: "Huh? How come I haven't heard of this?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "This is the latest research and development result, so it's normal that it hasn't spread yet."

As for the claim that this type of technology hasn't been reported yet, that's impossible.

From the very beginning, researchers from the domestic research community have been involved in the Luoma Lake AI Data Center project. Any research results from the Luoma Lake AI Data Center are reported immediately and then kept confidential according to their level.

This secrecy applies to external parties, not internal ones.

in the country, any company bearing the "state-owned" designation is generally relatively transparent.

Why do we say it's relatively transparent in general?
That's because for such a large company with so many projects, it's incredibly easy to pull off some tricks, switch things out, or create a deceptive effect.

For example, the technology that Lü Yao and his team used this time was hidden in a large number of papers and research results, and the names were particularly rigid and boring. It was a bit difficult to understand it from the name alone.

This phenomenon will only become more and more common as scientific and technological research theories become more profound and complex.

So much so that even if a peerless secret manual were placed in front of you, you wouldn't be able to understand it, let alone learn how to apply it.

Take, for example, Qian Xuesen's "Engineering Cybernetics." Most people can only understand the first page of this unparalleled manual; they'll be completely baffled by the second page. If someone actually manages to reach the second page, they'll definitely be considered a true disciple.

The gift that Lü Yao brought this time was an in-depth application of "Engineering Cybernetics".

After listening to the explanations about the software support for the drones and robot dogs, President He smiled and stroked his chin. He roughly understood Rong Nianqing and Lü Yao's true intentions.

Faced with these research findings, President He is willing to stand with Rong Nianqing and Lü Yao.

After thinking it over, President He personally got up to pour wine for Aunt Meng, Rong Nianqing, Lü Yao, and Wang Yushu. Then he poured himself a full glass, raised it, and said, "I am very happy tonight. Tonight has been a worthwhile trip! We should visit each other more often and cooperate more in the future!"

"As for Luoma Lake... it's a bit troublesome, but if I go there despite my old ways, they'll still give me some face."

After saying that, President He laughed heartily: "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation in the future!"

Lü Yao also smiled and said, "I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

The cooperation negotiations with President He went very smoothly this time, especially with the support of certain resources. The cooperation was so smooth that it almost felt like President He was forcing us to cooperate.

Wang Yushu is still somewhat bewildered.

After Mr. He got himself drunk in his excitement, Aunt Meng and Rong Nianqing quickly asked the housekeeper of Meiyuan to take him away to rest. They even followed along, still feeling uneasy.

Only after the main figures and hosts of the banquet had all left did Lü Yao finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Now I finally feel a little more at ease.

Lu Yao let out a long sigh, loosened his collar, and rested for a dozen seconds before raising his hand to call over the butler who was still waiting next to the Sky Curtain Restaurant. He asked them to clean up the table, which was clinking glasses and disheveled, and then ordered the kitchen to bring out the best wine and food!

Lu Yao then got up and called over all the staff of Huanji Technology.

Although he had already drunk quite a bit, Lü Yao was still sober. In fact, because he had just rested and paused for a while, he was starting to sober up a bit.

That's what makes a young body so amazing!

The body is young, and the digestive and metabolic abilities are simply amazing.

Before the newly rearranged dining table, Lü Yao invited the operators and engineers who had been waiting outside to come in and have a meal together.

The food hadn't been served yet, but the wine was already laid out—not some spirit, but champagne.

Lu Yao raised his champagne glass and said, "Thank you all for your hard work today. I believe you have all heard that we have landed another big collaboration. From now on, everyone here will be working hard."

"People may think that being a supervisor is nothing special, but believe me, if you keep doing it well, there will be a time when everyone will feel that it is very worthwhile!"

With that, Lü Yao raised his glass and shouted, "To our bright future!"

Anyone with a bit of experience knows how difficult it is to become a mentor, especially a good one. Lu Yao's words carried an inexplicable, inspiring power, so everyone present rallied and shouted excitedly, "For a bright future!"

cheers!!
After finishing his drink, Lü Yao said half-jokingly, "What happened here today, everyone should keep to yourselves. I reckon someone will be coming to confiscate our phones soon. From now on, anyone who can't keep their mouth shut will be invited for tea, haha."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lü, we will definitely keep it a secret."

"The fact that we were chosen by President Wang means we are all trustworthy."

Wang Yushu added, "Don't worry, the most trustworthy people at our Magic Machinery Technology are all here."

After saying that, Wang Yushu said with great emotion, "President Lü, I feel that everything is so easy and effortless since I started working with you. The engineers in our company, and even Brother Shan, think that I'm messing around with these things. Only you, President Lü, have always been so supportive of me!"

"I really!"

Wang Yushu became more and more emotional as he spoke, as if he were about to kneel down and call Lü Yao "godfather" at any moment.

Seeing this, Lü Yao laughed speechlessly, "Oh dear, what are you doing all this for? Actually, the principle is very simple: do the right thing on the right path, and then do things properly! That's all."

Wang Yushu had also had a few drinks, and since he couldn't hold his liquor, his mind was already a bit foggy. When he heard what Lü Yao said, his eyes looked like he was saying, "Are you kidding me?"

Knowing he didn't believe him, Lü Yao asked, "We brought a whole truckload of equipment and machinery with us today for our cooperation, didn't we?"

Wang Yushu nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Lu Yao countered, "Then do you remember what you brought when you first came to me seeking investment?"

Wang Yushu was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he hadn't brought anything with him, except for a head full of ideas and Wang Shan, who was familiar with Lü Yao.

Suddenly realizing his mistake, Wang Yushu slapped his thigh hard: "Oh dear! How could I have been so stupid back then!"

Then Wang Yushu realized that what he meant by doing the right thing on the right path was simply following Lü Yao! Although this was based on experience, it was undeniably useful.

While they were chatting, the kitchen in the plum garden had prepared a variety of dishes, so Lü Yao told everyone to eat and drink well.

Less than twenty minutes later, Rong Nianqing arrived with two men in suits. Lu Yao remembered that the two men had come with President He.

Rong Nianqing came in and glanced around before smiling and saying, "Everyone's eating, please sit down, don't mind me, thank you all for your hard work today."

The team at Huanxie Technology immediately grinned and said, "It's not hard work."

Rong Nianqing sat down next to Lü Yao as naturally as if she was meant to be.

She looked at everyone and smiled, "Then please make yourselves at home. If there's anything you'd like to eat or anything else you'd like to add, just say so. While you're eating, could you please do me a favor and hand over some of your phones, your main phones and your spare phones? There are stickers here; please write your phone passwords and names on them."

"If there are dual systems or dual passwords, please write them down as well. This is the standard procedure, so please cooperate."

Before Rong Nianqing arrived, Lü Yao had already spoken to the people from Huanxie Technology, so everyone cooperated and handed over their phones.

After finishing the important business, Rong Nianqing ate and drank some more with everyone.

The banquet didn't end until late at night. Rong Nianqing then began arranging accommodations for everyone at Huanji Technology before finally having some free time.

Once it was just her and Lü Yao left, Rong Nianqing looked at Lü Yao with gentleness and a smile in her eyes and said, "You can stay in the room you used to stay in. My mom has kept a room for you, and it's always been cleaned."

Lu Yao, who was reeking of alcohol, laughed and said, "That's so thoughtful of me. I was originally planning to go straight back to Shangnan tonight."

Rong Nianqing scolded him slightly, "You, do you have to work so hard? Although you're under a lot of pressure right now, you need to take better care of your health, especially during times like these."

Lü Yao laughed and said, "No, I'm young and in great health."

Better than ever!

Rong Nianqing rolled her eyes, a rare occurrence for her: "Stop arguing. I've had someone prepare a hangover soup and a bedtime spa. Just relax. This is home."
