Chapter 87: Really Good at Fool
Chen Xiao watched this drama, and as the instigator, he could only hold back his laughter!

She asked the waiter to pour wine and filled four wine dispensers, but Zhao Xiangjun refused to drink it.

She doesn't like drinking, and Chen Xiao doesn't like her drinking either, so there's no need to drink!

At the dinner table, Zhao Xiangjun was very quiet, and occasionally Wu Ting would cautiously say a few words to her.

It was basically Chen Xiao and Zhang Shijie chatting, with Liu Haoran occasionally joining in!
During this period, Zhang Shijie made a joke: "Mr. Zhao has invested another 20 billion yuan this time. There is too much money on the books. I don’t know how to spend it now."

"So this time, I came to report my next plan to Mr. Zhao!"

Zhao Xiangjun said crisply, "I don't understand either. Just talk to Chen Xiao. I'll listen to him!"

Zhang Shijie was stunned. Her words were "I listen to him" instead of "You listen to him", which had a completely different meaning!
The former means that Chen Xiao can make all decisions on her behalf, and the latter means that he should ask Chen Xiao for his opinion and only listen to him on this matter.

My goodness, this Mr. Chen is just a little more handsome. There are many people in this world who are more handsome than him. What virtue and ability does he have to make Mr. Zhao obey him in everything!
Chen Xiao was not polite and said with a smile: "I don't understand retail business, so I won't cause trouble for Mr. Zhang."

"I work in artificial intelligence. Right now, the retail industry is facing tremendous pressure in both cost and recruitment!"

"If we produce a humanoid robot that can replace traditional shopping guides, the market size could be trillions of dollars!"

If it can really be produced, it will be in the hundreds of millions. The problem is that even with the development of artificial intelligence today, robots can only replace human labor in some simple scenarios.

For example, the robots in a factory are each responsible for only a few fixed actions.

The work scene of a shopping guide is the most complex and changeable. It is estimated that it will be impossible to completely replace manual labor within ten years.

You mean the future? The future is unknown, everything is possible!
Zhang Shijie understood this principle, so he didn't know how to respond. He thought Chen Xiao was joking!

This research and development direction is good, and it is indeed a market worth trillions or even larger. The key is who can afford to invest!
This investment is at least hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars, and the results may not come until many years later. This is simply not something that one or two companies can do.

He could only chuckle and agree, "Boss Chen's idea is indeed good, and the prospects are bright!"

Chen Xiao understood what he meant. He simply said, "Actually, this research and development can be divided into phases. We should first solve some simple application scenarios!"

"For example, we can first solve some fixed scenarios such as checkout, membership invitation, old customer maintenance, event notification, etc., and then gradually develop some human-like functions."

"In this way, the results of the initial investment can be transformed into productivity and bring benefits to the store!"

"By the way, if shops now use robots, they can definitely become check-in spots for young people, and they can also have a strong traffic-generating effect!"

He talked incessantly, like a salesman's occupational disease, but he didn't know that Zhang Shijie was dizzy from listening to him.

He thinks Mr. Chen is unreliable. If I, Zhang Shijie, do this project, I will probably be fired tomorrow! The board of directors will scold me for being stupid!
Besides, if you want to do it, just do it yourself. Mr. Zhao has plenty of money, otherwise he wouldn’t have thrown another 20 billion into the company!

Liu Haoran didn't even dare to interrupt. Firstly, he didn't understand artificial intelligence, and secondly, he was a little confused!
Earlier, Mr. Chen introduced himself as someone who works in artificial intelligence, and then he said that he could develop robots to replace shopping guides. I guess you don't want to cooperate with Yino Group in robot research and development.

The Keino Group is in the retail industry. How many traditional retailers are engaged in high-tech research and development?

Isn't this just playing the piano randomly? It's nonsense!
Zhao Xiangjun thought he had an occupational disease, so she just listened and didn't express any opinion!
After Chen Xiao finished his speech and raised his glass to everyone, he immediately asked a question: "Mr. Zhang, do you think the project I just talked about is worth doing?"

Zhang Shijie could only agree: "It's a very good project!"

"Okay, let's cooperate!" Chen Xiao made the final decision!
Zhang Shijie was stunned. He turned to look at Zhao Xiangjun, saying, "Boss, what are you talking about? He was just joking!"

Zhao Xiangjun was very smart and immediately understood what he meant. She said, "I will listen to Chen Xiao!"

Auntie, you listen to him in everything. What kind of magic potion has he poured into you?

But he didn't understand Zhao Xiangjun. To her, money was just something outside of her body. She had no concept of money and didn't like it!
She only cares that Chen Xiao is happy. As for the result, does it matter?

The big boss expressed his opinion. Zhang Shijie said helplessly to Chen Xiao, "What do you want to do, Mr. Chen? Yinuo is in the retail business. Doing high-tech research and development seems a bit unrelated to their job!"

"Mr. Zhang, you can't say that. You need to look at the problem from a development perspective. So, I suggest that Yinuo take out 100 million yuan and establish a project in collaboration with Dr. Feng Robotics!"

"We will set up a separate company for this project. Dr. Feng Robotics will provide the technology, and Yinuo Group will provide the application scenarios!"

"The two sides will cooperate, and the funds for subsequent research and development investment can be continuously carried out through financing!"

Damn, he asked for 100 million, both Zhang Shijie and Liu Haoran were stunned!
They only invest a few million to open a store, but you ask for 100 million, and your business has nothing to do with retail. If you fail, Zhang Shijie will be "cut into pieces."

He looked at Zhao Xiangjun for help, but she just sat there as if nothing had happened.

Boss, he wants 100 million, not 1 million. Are you indifferent? Zhang Shijie is about to cry!

As the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, he had never been put in such an embarrassing situation.

If I don’t agree, the boss will acquiesce. If I agree, how can I explain this to the management and the board of directors?
"If Mr. Zhang is worried about resistance from the board of directors, there is no need to worry!" Chen Xiao could understand his dilemma!

Zhang Shijie thought to himself that apart from President Zhao, no one else would agree to this, and the resistance would be extremely great.

"If the board of directors doesn't agree, President Zhao will continue to inject capital until he has absolute say!"

Zhang Shijie was stunned. Listen, listen, what are you talking about?

Are you going to ask Mr. Zhao to invest billions more for a business worth 100 million?
"Mr. Zhang, I'm not asking for your money. I'm helping you make money. Have you ever thought about the future valuation of this project?"

“By then it won’t be too late for the board to thank you!”

Thank you, I don't believe you at all, so Mr. Zhao, just let you do whatever you want.

Okay, you are forcing me to take sides, do I have any choice?

Finally, Zhang Shijie stated, "Mr. Chen, I'll start pushing this matter forward when I get back. The board of directors may also need Mr. Zhao's support!"
