It was twice as long as before, the sun had just set from the sky, and the two sat in the hotel private room. This time, there was no outsider to accompany him, but the atmosphere was more harmonious than any time before. After ordering the meal, Xiao Junyi leaned back on the chair and looked at the young man in front of him with great interest.
"Why are you suddenly interested in this?"
At this time, Chen Yuanming's excitement had dissipated, and he returned to his former calmness. Hearing this question, he smiled slightly, yes, if PHS is a flash of inspiration from the military factory, then vd is really too advanced. If I remember correctly, the current vd can't even have a prototype, it can't be said to be popular or popular, and the sales of similar video recorders and lasers in China are just so-so, even if you have forward-looking thinking, it is impossible to look forward to this point. How to make future partners trust you is the key to the problem.
Stopping and rubbing his teacup fingers lightly, Chen Yuanming restrained his smile and replied earnestly, word by word, "Because you said, change."
The two words are simple, yet meaningful. Xiao Junyi was slightly startled, just rely on this
Seeing Xiao Junyi's slightly puzzled expression, Chen Yuanming no longer sells off, "Don't underestimate the word replacement. Back then, when tape recorders replaced radios, how many manufacturers rose up directly. How many profit margins have been created after the replacement of tape recorders to D machines?"
As if integrating his own thoughts, Chen Yuanming's speech speed is not considered, but the coherence is very clear.
"In modern society, knowledge has grown explosively. It took only a hundred years for the telephone and television to become mature. Vinyl records, cassette tapes, and d-discs... In the past five years, the audio reading and writing mode has undergone several changes. Each time Changing generations means an unprecedented opportunity. If you don't seize this, you will be eliminated immediately. This is no longer the closed-door mode of the past thousand years. Imitation is no longer effective. Creation is everything. If there is something to replace the current cumbersome , high video tapes, laser discs, I am willing to enter the first sequence and become the crab eater."
Listening carefully and pondering the meaning of these words, Xiao Junyi did not reply immediately. Without him, some things, even if Chen Yuanming has ideas and will, cannot be realized according to his expectations. The question now is not whether this cake is delicious, but whether the person who owns the cake is willing to give up his part to others.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head, "The idea is really good, but as far as I know, the person who has invested a lot of money in the development of vd, even if you are rich, people may not accept you. Doing business is not like speculating in stocks. It’s not just that money and vision can make things happen, but also complex things, such as connections, technology, and management capabilities.”
And these, I'm afraid you don't even have one.
The words didn't come out, but Chen Yuanming knew it well, shook his head slightly, he said calmly, "If I am not a controlling shareholder, not a decision-making power, not an actual control power over a company, but an investment point, one that lets me hold this position in my hands. A huge amount of wealth can double the growth opportunity. And it is not because I am optimistic about this project, so I will definitely inject capital into them. I must see the project leaders in person, talk to them in person, and meet my expectations before I can plan the next step. Simply put, it’s a venture capital investment.”
He was born in the business school of Renmin University of China, how could he not understand what "risk investment" means. Looking at the young man in front of him with some surprise, Xiao Junyi only felt that the feeling in his chest was indescribable. In fact, the boy in front of him has not yet fully grown, and both his body and appearance are full of youthful looks. At first glance, he looks like a teenager. However, his demeanor is completely different. The flickering in his eyes is not mature and firm with his age. It seems that in his eyes, the world is not what ordinary people see, but it is straightforward and clear, and can be grasped with one hand.
Want to help him? This question only flashed for a moment, and Xiao Junyi laughed. What can I actually help you with? It's just a matchmaking bridge, nothing else, just because of his curiosity about him, he has to help with this "little favor", why doesn't he want to see, what step can this weird boy do
Seeing the smile on Xiao Junyi's lips, Chen Yuanming fell to the ground with a heart suspended. In fact, he is not as confident as he appears to be. In the next ten years, China's vd manufacturing industry will face numerous difficulties and obstacles, and everything will be rooted in the hidden dangers buried when the first vd is launched. Now he has the opportunity to trace the origin, which is not only an opportunity, but also a challenge. Now he is facing the first hurdle. Whether he can reshape the vd empire and whether he can take this as an opportunity to open the prelude to the electronic age is still to be done step by step. Take it easy.
If it is successful, this is not a great cause that benefits the country and the people...

That night, Xiao Junyi contacted his uncle. After reporting the incident, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a long time, Xiao Yun's voice came from the receiver.
"Just the word 'replacing' can think so far. What else can I say... Okay, let's help him. Although the cooperation with Yuanming is not the Xiao family, it is always a bit disappointing."
The long-distance call signal was not good, making the voice a little fuzzy, but the regret was unmistakable.
Xiao Junyi didn't miss the point in his uncle's words, not "you", but "we". This matter changed from his personal kinship to the Xiao family's repayment to Chen Yuanming. Even in the near future, for the vd industry that has not yet been born, it will also escort it. Whether Chen Yuanming wanted to or not, he had successfully boarded the big boat of the Xiao family, but this unexpected first step was astounding.
After thinking about it, Xiao Junyi turned to another question, "Today, I heard Yuanming talk about the issue of replacement, and I suddenly thought that when the next generation of products is made, will the bp machine be eliminated directly?"
The bp machine, that is, the pager, is the standard configuration of fashionable people in this era. It can connect to the paging station by telephone, and then send information to the connected person. If it is strictly defined, it can also be considered to achieve the goal of "semi-mobile".
The phone on the other side was silent for a few seconds, then laughed out loud, "You found it too? I discussed this issue with your dad recently, and we are not alone in manufacturing pager production lines, but in the long run, as soon as mobile phones appear, they will be Elimination can be said to be inevitable. But fortunately, we have not laid a long line on it. Before and after the product appears, it can be closed and transferred. Now this thing is on fire, so I don’t have to worry about selling it.”
Hearing his uncle's explanation, Xiao Junyi also breathed a sigh of relief. This is the advantage of a family business. If a person can't think of something, there will always be someone who will fill in the gap. He is still too young and has to learn. Is it just that young child, does he also have negligence and omissions? After hanging up the phone, Xiao Junyi was just stunned for a while, then changed hands and made another call. It doesn't matter, this time he must be with Chen Yuanming. If the other party can't think of it, he can help himself, right
Three days later, after contacting the relevant matters, Xiao Junyi and Chen Yuanming boarded the plane together and embarked on the journey.

Sitting at home, Meng Lisheng looked anxiously at the quartz clock hanging on the wall. Since he received that call two days ago, he has fallen into this inexplicable irritability. It is not a secret among relatives and friends that he is developing a vd, but it took a whole year, and the results are at your fingertips. Suddenly, a stranger who is willing to invest in it suddenly appeared, which really shocked him and a little distressed.
In any era, scientific research is a very expensive business. To turn an invention into an actual product requires not only technology and talents, but also sufficient financial resources. After so many years from the scientific research institute to the sea, he can be considered a small savings, but he burned nearly 50,000 US dollars in the development of vd in one year. This is only the initial cost. In the future, he will establish a company, start a business, establish a production line, hire employees, and even promote it. , which do not need money to support? At present, the actual partners of this project are only himself and Professor Yan, the founder of peg format. The total assets of the two people are only 10,000 to 20 million. The financial constraints mean that they need bank loans and they need to keep running for money.
But even so, they have no plans to find investors. Banks can pay with interest, but partners cannot. Capital injection means thinning management rights, which means that huge profits are swallowed and exploited. If the partners are not reliable, they will face incalculable losses. They didn't intend to take this risk.
However, this time, the investors are beyond their imagination. On the one hand, kinship brings affection, and on the other hand, it is the temptation of "risk investment". Today, in Europe and the United States, venture capital is also a very avant-garde industry. There is no interest, no mortgage, and no repayment. Just put money into the industry that you are optimistic about, and exchange high risk for high returns. For entrepreneurs, this model is of course the best, but for investors, it is indeed a gamble.
It's just whether this investor can make such a big decision, and what kind of compensation he needs to make for so-called "risk investment". On the phone, he also heard the Xiao family say that this time the investors are very young, and the money basically comes from the previous stock market profits. Can such a candidate really be trusted
There are thousands of thoughts in my mind, and I can't decide for a while. Meng Lisheng got up and poured himself another cup of strong tea, and continued to stare at the quartz clock in a daze.
After getting off the plane, Chen Yuanming chose a bus as usual, and set off for this time. Xiao Junyi shrugged and followed helplessly.
Along the way, the two chatted for a long time. There should be everything in the world. He finally regained a little control over the topic, but chatting couldn't stop his strong curiosity. Standing behind Chen Yuanming, he was very curious and looked at the other party's hand. Two big boxes. It's right that the Lantern Festival has just passed, but this time I'm not here to talk about business, why are you still bringing this kind of gift box? What the hell is this kid thinking...
However, when he asked Chen Yuanming what was in the box, the young man just smiled slyly, "This is a clever trick."
Rolling his eyes to the sky, Xiao Junyi pouted and didn't ask any more questions. After spending nearly an hour reversing and walking, the two finally arrived at this destination. Meng Lisheng, the developer of vd, is Xiao Junyi's uncle's cousin, and the relationship is a bit complicated, but he can get on with him anyway. The doorbell rang outside the station, and after a while, there were hurried footsteps in the room, the door was opened, and a figure appeared in front of the two of them.
"Uncle Meng, happy new year." Xiao Junyi put on a suitable smile. But the other party's eyes didn't stop on him at all, instead he stared at him with rounded eyes.
Chen Yuanming also smiled and extended his right hand friendly, "Hello Mr. Meng, I am Xiao Junyi's friend, my name is Chen Yuanming."
Xiao Xiao's friend, Chen Yuanming... Meng Lisheng didn't react for a long time, until he was pushed by his wife behind him, and then he shuddered suddenly. This is the investor who was mentioned on the phone, but... Can this be described as "young"? This is clearly a child!
What went wrong? Stretching out his hand in a daze, Meng Lisheng clenched the warm palm tightly, and his heart was full of confusion.
