Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Wang Tao sat in his somewhat cramped office, feeling very uncomfortable.

After all, this was his office, and Chen Yiran was actually sitting in his boss's chair!

He stood awkwardly at the door, watching Chen Yiran openly looking at their project documents.

Chen Yiran peeked at him and said naturally, "Please sit down. Lao Wang, you go back to work. Close the door and I'll have a private chat with Wang Tao."

Wang Tao sat on the small chair for guests and watched as the company's top technical expert obediently withdrew, then gently closed the door.

Chen Yiran pointed to the document and said, "I have a general understanding of your situation, but I would still like you to explain it again."

Wang Tao took a deep breath and began his report: "Our main project now is flight control. WooKong-M has been debugged to a very mature stage and should be able to be launched to the market in the first half of next year."

This version of the multi-rotor hovering accuracy will be a step up from Naza-M, and the drift range after GPS lock-on will be reduced to less than one meter.

We also want to add an open SDK interface to WooKong-M, because some aerial photography studios in the US have already started using our flight controllers to mount cameras, and this interface will make it easier for them to adjust the flight controller's response parameters themselves.

"And then? How about some longer-term plans?"

"Then we wanted to build the whole aircraft ourselves. We wrote the flight control system ourselves, and we also made the ESCs ourselves. We are still outsourcing the frame and motors, but we can design them."

Put these four components together, and you have a machine that anyone can take apart and fly. No need to go to a model aircraft shop to buy parts, no need to look up tutorials on forums to solder wires.

Chen Yiran remained silent, but continued to ask numerous questions.

Wang Tao hesitated; Chen Yiran's attitude made him unsure whether she was there to invest.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Yiran nodded and said, "Let me share my thoughts. The whole machine isn't difficult; in fact, it's the most basic one. In the future, we need to achieve visual obstacle avoidance, integrating binocular vision with time-of-flight technology, and be able to draw 3D depth maps in real time during flight."

The image transmission needs to be upgraded from the current standard definition to 1080p with low latency, and the signal must not be interrupted within ten kilometers.

It should also have an intelligent tracking function, locking onto a person or a vehicle, with the plane automatically following and filming. If the other party hides, it should be able to maintain the lock and not lose track of them by predicting their movement.

The overall design of the drone also needs to be optimized to be more compact. The drone body needs to be folded up so that the arms and propellers can be folded up and put into a bag. Ordinary people can take it out of their backpacks to take pictures and then put it back.

A more precise landing is required, with a return landing error of no more than ten centimeters.

There are also special optimizations in agriculture, such as the need for multispectral cameras that can identify areas with pests and fertilizer deficiencies, and then automatically plan the spraying path.

These are my basic requirements for you, and you must meet them as soon as possible.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao asked timidly, "I was originally in talks with Vision Capital about financing. They agreed to invest ten million yuan for a ten percent stake."

Wang Tao really hoped Chen Yiran would understand the subtext of those words: we're already rich, so please don't get involved.

To be honest, he really didn't want to accept Chen Yiran's investment. The other party seemed difficult to talk to and might very well take control of the company directly from him.

His previous investments were all from relatives and friends. Li Zexiang and Zhu Xiaorui were his teachers, Lu Di was his family friend, and last year he even persuaded his best friend from high school, Xie Jia, to sell his house in Hangzhou and invest in some stocks.

The same goes for Vision Capital now. It was founded by his senior, and the investors are all people who recognize his talent and trust him, which ensures his influence within the company.

Chen Yiran didn't respond. He hesitated, wondering whether to put a little more pressure on him and buy some shares, or to bully the future big shot who hadn't yet grown up. The hot-tempered Jasmine expressed her opinion first.

[They're asking for it! They're turning the table upside down! We need to take control of these companies completely!]

Indeed, Chen Yiran is planning to acquire several companies this time to build a business empire, so it wouldn't do if the first one ran into problems.

He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I know you don't want me to invest, but my mind is made up. Let me tell you something you probably haven't thought about: Do you think DJI will be blocked by the US government in the future? How long do you think it will take for DJI's drone technology to be used for military purposes?"

Wang Tao shook his head: "You don't need to scare me, that's too far from our company."

"I'm not trying to scare you, this is something that will definitely happen in the future."

As mentioned in your previous project, Chris Anderson, the editor-in-chief of Wired magazine, left a message praising you online.

As you probably know, he also started a drone company called 3D Robotics Science. Now, like you, they sell DIY kits, but they will definitely also release complete drones.

"I've already acquired that company, and I'll use it to handle business in the US. Then I'll acquire DJI to focus on business in China. The two will complement each other. I'll definitely enter the military industry; this separation is more reasonable."

Even a clay figure has some temper, and Chen Yiran's attitude angered Wang Tao: "I've already said, I'm not selling! I don't need your investment."

Chen Yiran held up one finger and said, "I'll offer 100 million US dollars. Today I want all of DJI's shares. Of course, you have to stay and work for me. I'll reserve some shares in the reward pool, and I'll distribute them over the next few years if you perform well."

If you don't agree today, I'll first go to those friends who invested in you before. I'll buy it directly from them and see if a few thousand RMB can ruin your previous relationship.

After ruining your relationship and getting some small shares, I will harass you relentlessly in company administration, all to ruin the company.

Then I'll start my own business. You saw the looks in your employees' eyes when you came in, didn't you? If we can't reach an agreement today, I'll start poaching people as soon as I leave your office. Ten times the salary should be enough to empty your company. Then I'll invest another 3 million US dollars to rebuild my team in China.

"Come on, I'm short on time. It's the end of the year, and I've calculated that my various companies' profits total over a billion US dollars, plus a considerable amount made from stocks. All of this money needs to be spent. I also have several companies to acquire. I'll give you five minutes to state your decision."

Wang Tao is actually a very arrogant person. He always believed that there was no one in the world worthy of his true admiration, but Chen Yiran sitting in front of him still put a lot of pressure on him.

He would only feel regret towards those employees, after all, he was the core of DJI's technology. Given more time, he could still rebuild the team.

He doesn't care much about American companies; he doesn't believe that American companies can compete with Chinese companies in terms of cost.

But what if he combines the two? Will he be able to break through Chen Yiran's blockade?

He started sweating, and a demon was shouting in his left ear: "One hundred million US dollars, one hundred million US dollars! One hundred million US dollars! Hurry up and give in, it's not shameful to acknowledge Chen Yiran as your boss!"

But in my right ear, a childish voice is shouting: My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! Don't underestimate a young man's potential! Who rules this vast land? It's us, us, us!

After hesitating for a while, Wang Tao tried asking, "One hundred million US dollars, I'll sell the company to you directly, and I can retire right away, okay?"

Chen Yiran's face darkened: "Are you trying to fool me because I'm young? You want to take my money and start another company to continue developing drones, right?"

These words gave Wang Tao a jolt. Yes, the saying "Don't underestimate a young man's potential" doesn't work. Chen Yiran is even younger than him, and he can't outlast him.

After a moment of silence, he tried asking, "Do I need to sign any kind of agreement with the company? How many years do I have to work for the company? I can't work for someone else my whole life, can I?"

Chen Yiran nodded: "I just want you to work for me for the rest of your life. I've already given you 100 million US dollars, which is enough for you to live on. I won't pay you a salary anymore, but I will give you some shares every year according to the company's development."

Wang Tao thought for a moment, then lowered his head, looking slightly ashamed, and asked, "Is that 100 million after tax?"

Chen Yiran nodded: "That's fine."

"Hello, boss!"

"Alright, my lawyer is already out there. Let's sign the contract today. You'll have to come with me on a business trip in a couple of days. I'll introduce you to two people, and then you'll need to work on the collaboration."
