Just like this, Lu Zhou decisively stood Shi Fei up.
At around four or five o 'clock in the afternoon, Lu Zhou got into Professor Lee's car at the school gate. After twenty minutes of driving, they soon arrived at their destination.
This Purple Mountain Hotel was located next to Purple Mountain. It looked really grand. Whether it was the size or the surrounding environment, it was impeccable. Standing in the parking lot and looking west, one could faintly see the mountain surrounded by the sunset and the Chinese parasol trees.
Lu Zhou didn't know how many stars this hotel was, but just looking at the decor alone, it was worth at least a few hundred million yuan.
After Lu Zhou got out of Professor Lee Yong-eun's car, he didn't want to join in the fun. So, he stood next to the parking lot with his two students, waiting for the right time to enter.
Lu Zhou looked at the group of big shots in suits at the entrance. This was his first time visiting such a luxurious hotel, so he asked, "Do we really not need to change clothes?"
Liu Bo smiled and said, "There's no need, we researchers can be casual. As long as you don't wear slippers, no one will say anything … Well, actually, it doesn't matter if you wear slippers. At most, Old Li will say a few words to you."
Lu Zhou looked at the entrance and asked, "Are those people from the project team?"
Qian Zhongming adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Those who wear casual clothes are, but those who wear suits and bow ties aren't. In fact, it's very easy to distinguish."
Lu Zhou: "Then who are those people in suits?"
Liu Bo smiled and said, "There are all kinds of people. For example, the one on the left of Professor Lee is the chairman of Zhongshan New Materials, Liu Wanshan. The one next to him is the general manager of Jinling Construction Material, I don't remember his name. In short, one is a listed company, and the other is a semi-state-owned enterprise. Both of them are powerful. "
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Lee's clothes. He wasn't wearing casual clothes or a suit. Instead, he was wearing a Chinese tunic suit.
Emm …
Somewhere in between?
Lu Zhou could not help but ask, "Why would a big shot of this level come to this place?"
Liu Bo smiled and said, "Our research project is funded by Zhongshan New Materials, and Zhongshan New Materials and Jinling are partners. Have you heard of the Silk Road Strategy?"
Lu Zhou nodded.
He still watched the news.
"In terms of infrastructure projects in Pakistan, the two companies are the material suppliers, and they have large projects with a total value of more than two billion. The carbon nanotube modified cement-based composite material we are researching has performed quite well in corrosion resistance and various mechanical properties tests. It is perfect for repairing piers and docks. It can be considered as contributing to hundreds of millions of orders. "Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu said with a calm face.
More than two billion!
Lu Zhou was shocked.
He didn't expect the scientific research project he was involved in to have such a powerful capital background.
Although it was only a small contribution to the overall investment project, it was still a contribution!
In addition to being shocked, Lu Zhou could not help but sigh in his heart.
This two billion …
If only I could have some of it.
Even 0.25% would be enough for me to complete the system mission.
Liu Bo patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. We researchers don't have to worry about so much. There are people in charge of attracting investments and running projects. Have you guys thought about where to go?"
Qian Zhongming thought for a bit and said, "I plan on going to Chang 'an to see the Terracotta Army and visit my old classmate."
Liu Bo: "F * ck, what's so good about the Terracotta Army? I haven't had enough playing with sand in the laboratory. Do you want to go to Southeast Asia with me? Old Li told us not to save money for him. There's so much research funding left, we can't let him down! What about Lu Zhou? Where are you going? "
Lu Zhou said, "I have exams, I can't leave."
"I almost forgot, you're still studying for your undergrad. Exams are coming up, right? You're quite busy. " Liu Bo smiled and said, "Why don't you just graduate early? What else can undergrad teach you? Next time you want to apply for materials physics, come to our laboratory. Let me tell you, Professor Lee is very generous to his people. "
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "I'll think about it."
Soon after, the group of people at the entrance began to enter.
Liu Bo patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder and the group of people followed him to the entrance.
Inside the hotel's second-floor hall, there was a red carpet from the elevator to the main entrance. There were a dozen or so round tables placed inside. It was like a company annual meeting. It was not as simple as what Professor Lee said.
After entering the venue, Professor Lee Yong-eun waved at Lu Zhou and signaled him to come over. He then looked at the big name next to Lu Zhou and smiled.
"This is the guy I told you about, the guy who solved a world-class mathematics problem at Jin Ling University, Lu Zhou. Our project was able to go so smoothly because of his help … Come here, Lu Zhou, let me introduce you. This is the chairman of Zhongshan New Materials, Mr. Liu Wanshan. "
"Hello, Mr. Liu," said Lu Zhou as he shook hands with him cautiously.
"Hello, you're Lu Zhou. I've seen your news article, even Everyone Daily praised your results. You really are a talent," said Liu Wanshan as he looked at Lu Zhou and nodded. He then smiled and said, "Don't be so formal, we're alumni."
Lu Zhou was slightly surprised, "Mr. Liu also graduated from Jin Ling University?"
"1994 Jin Ling University business school," said Liu Wanshan as he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I also took advanced mathematics classes from Old Tang. It's still fresh in my memory."
1994 Jin Ling University!
Lu Zhou did a quick calculation and realized that Liu Wanshan was at least 20 years older than him. After all, in the 80s and 90s, the school age was not as accurate as it was now.
I can't believe that Old Tang has been teaching mathematics for more than 20 years!
Since they were alumni, there were naturally many topics to talk about. Liu Wanshan was also an interesting person.
Even though he had a beer belly and a gold watch on his hand, Lu Zhou realized that even though Liu Wanshan looked like a nouveau riche, he was still a cultured nouveau riche. Most people couldn't compare to him.
At least, his respectful attitude towards knowledge made it easy for cultured people to have a good impression of him. Also, Liu Wanshan did not have the arrogance of a billionaire or chairman of a listed company. Lu Zhou was surprised to be able to chat with this person.
However, this good impression did not last long.
As they chatted, the topic was brought to the place that Lu Zhou did not want to talk about.
Liu Wanshan smiled and said, "Oh yeah, I heard from Professor Lee that you seem to be doing some university entrepreneurship project? I think it's called Campus Train? "
Accurately speaking, it had been changed to Campus Assistant. However, the name of the app had not been changed. It was just waiting for the next version update.
Lu Zhou's expression was a bit strange as he smiled and said, "Yes."
Liu Wanshan smiled and said, "How was it? Did you guys make any progress? "
Lu Zhou: "…"
Can we not talk about this?
The twelve monks became seven Calabash Brothers, the remaining programmer was still coding like crazy, and the new version was still far away …
Even though Lu Zhou wanted to curse in his heart, he still maintained a smile on his face and said, "It's okay, the number of users has grown to one million. According to user feedback, our ticketing system is still very popular."
As for the three-digit DAU and shrinking startup loan …
What is that?
I don't know.
"There are one million registered users? Not bad, "Liu Wanshan looked at Lu Zhou in surprise and continued to ask," Has the Angel Wheel been activated? "
"Not yet, but we've been contacting the relevant angel investors and funds recently. It should be soon," said Lu Zhou perfunctorily.
Fat Wu and Yuan Liwei had been running around with BP and PowerPoint for almost half a month, but there were still no results.
Honestly speaking, Lu Zhou was about to give up.
He made the app purely for practice, he did not expect it to be so troublesome.
Liu Wanshan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much do you plan on getting?"
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "About two million."
Liu Wanshan nodded and asked thoughtfully, "Isn't two million a bit too little? I know a few friends in the venture capital circle. They don't even look at a BP of one or two million. They won't even look at it without five or six million. "
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "Two million for the Angel Wheel is enough. The monthly marketing expenses are only two to three hundred thousand. We have already reduced the other operating costs to the minimum. We expect to reach two million users in the second half of the year, then start the Series A. It won't be too late to set our expectations a little higher. "
"Not bad, not bad. It seems like you all know how to spend the money we've raised." Liu Wanshan smiled and nodded. He thought for a while and said, "Okay then, I'll invest five million first."
"…"
Lu Zhou:???
