"Really?" Several people didn't believe it. How could such a good thing happen
"Really! Let's make a deal first. If you become rich, don't forget my contribution." Xu Xiuying said.
"If such a thing really happened, I would have no problem offering you as a Bodhisattva." Ji Fan said, but he didn't believe it at all.
…
Lu Zixin and Zhu Liangyan returned to the company first and asked him what he thought about the autonomous driving project.
"Mr. Lu, I think the autonomous driving project is completely feasible." Zhu Liangyan analyzed for him, "Our previous autonomous driving project only achieved the first stage of driving assistance systems, which was not as good as the pioneer startups. progress."
"The main reasons why the project was canceled were similar to theirs. The positioning system was not accurate enough, the sensor system was not developed enough, and most importantly, the smart technology was not mature enough!"
"If you want to progress from high automation to fully autonomous driving, you rely on intelligent technology! We couldn't overcome this difficulty before, but now with quantum brain, this most difficult problem can also be solved."
"It is undoubtedly the most appropriate time to start this project. Even if you don't come to me, I will still submit an application to you."
As the person in charge of the autonomous driving project, Zhu Liangyan naturally hopes that the project will be restarted so that he can showcase his talents.
"Yes." Lu Zixin nodded and asked: "Then do you think it is better for our company to restart the project ourselves, or to invest in start-up companies?"
Zhu Liangyan already understood what Lu Zixin meant, and he said: "I have thought about this issue and I think it is better to invest in startup companies."
"Tell me what you think."
Zhu Liangyan continued: "Hongxin Group is now very large, but it is also very bloated! For example, the previous driverless project was under the umbrella of Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd."
"However, Hongxin Software Development Company has many more important projects to do, so it has relatively few resources invested in autonomous driving projects, which seriously affects the progress and makes management inconvenient."
"Now if we restart, we will face the same problem again, and this time will it be linked to Hongxin Intelligent Technology Development Co., Ltd. or Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd.?"
“On the contrary, if we invest in, for example, the pioneer startup company, we can develop and operate it completely independently, and the progress will directly reach the third stage. We can launch the unmanned driving system before other companies officially develop it and seize the market opportunity! "
…
On the third day, in the Forerunner startup company, the small team was having a meeting.
"The person in charge of Arctic Capital has informed me that they do not plan to invest." Ji Fan announced the news in disappointment.
When the news was announced, everyone in the small team had a look of disappointment on their faces. The company's liquidity can no longer last two months, but it still cannot get investment.
If this continues, they will have no choice but to transfer their shares at a low price, which is simply a waste of their efforts.
"If it hadn't been for that damn dog running around, we would have gotten the investment a long time ago!" Zhang Wei whispered, full of resentment towards the dog that hit their driverless car.
Dog owners failed to take good care of their dogs, which resulted in such a bad chain reaction.
"Didn't two people come to our company to see it the day before yesterday? Did they respond?" asked a co-founder.
"Don't count on it," Kong Guanyu said, "They are interested in our project, but they probably won't be able to invest much."
"I still have to rely on myself." Ji Fan sighed inwardly. Last night he received another resignation letter from an employee.
That employee was a talent they had managed to recruit, but now they feel that their company's future is limited and are ready to change jobs. If this continues, the final outcome of the Forerunner startup company will definitely be to package the project and the company together at a low price and sell it to a large company.
"Buzz buzz..." His cell phone was in his pocket. Ji Fan looked down and saw that it was Xu Xiuying's call.
Because he was in a meeting, he didn't answer for the time being. He waited until the small team finished a frustrating meeting before he called back.
"Sorry, we were in a meeting just now. Do you have anything to do with me?" Ji Fan asked.
"What great news!" Xu Xiuying said excitedly, "You are in luck!"
"What other good news can I have?" Ji Fan's tone was calm. He was feeling heavy now and couldn't be happy at all.
"It's the friend I introduced to you before. He is interested in your company and is ready to invest in you!" Xu Xiuying continued.
"What? That friend of yours invested in me?" Ji Fan was a little surprised.
"How much to invest?"
"How do I know, but it will definitely be no less." Xu Xiuying said.
"You have to make it clear, right? It's okay if you invest hundreds of thousands." Ji Fan said.
"Hundreds of thousands, you underestimate him too much! He is from the Hongxin Group..." Xu Xiuying suddenly stopped when she said this.
"What about the Hongxin Group?" Ji Fan asked.
"I'll scare you to death if I say it, boss of Hongxin Group!" Xu Xiuying said.
"Tch, I'm still the heir to the CEO of Penguin Group!" Ji Fan didn't believe it at all. How could such a big shot come to his company to check in person? It’s probably hard to even meet him!
"Let me tell you, the boss of Hongxin Group is my entrepreneurial idol, don't make fun of him!" Ji Fan warned.
He is not only the founder of Hongxin Group, but also the idol of entrepreneurs all over the world. He started from scratch and built a powerful business group in just a few years by relying on the continuous introduction of new technological products!
Some people speculate that if the founder of Hongxin Group is willing to list the company, he will definitely be the richest man in China, or even the world.
"It's true. If you don't believe it when I tell you, I didn't lie to you. The one before was my big boss. Just stop talking nonsense." Xu Xiuying said, "I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Fan was filled with doubts. He and Xu Xiuying were only business friends. Logically speaking, there was no need for Xu Xiuying to call him and joke with him, but what Xu Xiuying said was incredible, right
The boss of Hongxin Group came to his company and decided to invest in him? He never dared to think so.
"Mr. Ji, the phone number is for you!" At this time, an employee shouted, that was the company's business phone number.
"Here we are." Ji Fan answered the phone and a voice came from the other side: "Hello, I am the business manager of Hongxin Capital. Are you Mr. Ji Fan from Forward Venture Company?"
Red Letter Capital? As soon as he heard this word, Ji Fan's eyes lit up. This is the financial institution of Hongxin Group!
"Yes, I am. Do you have anything to do with me?" Ji Fan responded quickly.
"That's right, Mr. Ji, after our inspection, your pioneer startup company is very promising. I wonder if you have any plans to accept investment?"
"What, investment!" Ji Fan's eyes widened and he almost dropped the phone!
