"Really?" The few of them were in disbelief. How could there be such a good thing?
"Really! Let's make this clear first. If you guys succeed, don't forget my contribution, "Xu Xiuying said.
"If such a thing really happens, it won't be a problem to worship you like a Bodhisattva," Ji Fan said. He did not believe it at all.
…
Lu Zixin and Zhu Liangyan returned to the company first to ask about his opinion on the autonomous vehicle project.
"General Lu, I think the autonomous vehicle project is completely feasible." Zhu Liangyan analyzed for him. "Previously, our autonomous vehicle project only reached the first stage of the driving assistance system. It's not as fast as the Pioneer Startup.
"The main reason why the project was axed was 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 we want to advance from a high degree of automation to a fully autonomous vehicle, we have to rely on smart technology! We couldn't overcome this problem in the past, but now that we have the quantum brain, this most difficult problem can be solved.
"It's undoubtedly the most suitable time to start this project. Even if you didn't look for me, I would have submitted an application to you. "
As the person in charge of the autonomous vehicle project, Zhu Liangyan naturally hoped that the project could be restarted. This way, he could show his talents.
"Yes." Lu Zixin nodded and asked again, "Then, do you think it's better for our company to restart the project ourselves or invest in a startup company?"
Zhu Liangyan already understood what Lu Zixin meant. He said, "I've thought about this problem. I think it's better to invest in a startup company."
"Tell me what you think."
Zhu Liangyan continued, "Hongxin Group is very big now, but it's also very bloated! For example, the previous autonomous vehicle project was under Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd. "
"However, Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd. has many more important projects to do. The resources invested in the autonomous vehicle project are relatively small, which seriously affects the progress. It's convenient to manage but also inconvenient."
"If we restart now, we'll face the same problem. This time, should we put it under Hongxin Smart Technology Development Co., Ltd. or Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd?"
"On the contrary, if we invest in the Pioneer Startup, for example. We can completely develop and operate it independently and progress directly to the third stage. We can launch it before other companies officially develop the autonomous vehicle system and seize the market opportunity! "
…
On the third day, the small team was having a meeting in the Pioneer Startup.
"The person in charge of North Pole Capital has already informed me that they don't plan to invest," Ji Fan announced in disappointment.
When the news was announced, everyone in the small team had a disappointed expression on their faces. The company's liquid funds could only last for two more months, but they still couldn't get any investment.
If this continued, they could only sell their shares at a low price. That would be a waste of their efforts.
"If it wasn't for that damn dog running around, we would have gotten the investment already!" Zhang Wei said in a low voice. He was full of resentment for the dog that had hit their driverless car.
The owner of the dog did not manage his dog well, which led to such a bad chain reaction.
"Didn't two people come to our company the day before yesterday? Did they respond? "one of the co-founders asked.
"Don't count on it." Kong Guanyu said, "They are interested in our project, but I don't think they can come up with any investment."
"We can only rely on ourselves." Ji Fan sighed in his heart. Last night, he had received a resignation letter from another employee.
That employee was a talent that they had painstakingly poached. Now that he felt that the company's future was limited, he was ready to jump ship. If this continued, the Pioneer Startup would definitely end up selling the project and the company to some big company at a low price.
"Buzz …" His phone was in his pocket. Ji Fan lowered his head and saw that it was a call from Xu Xiuying.
As he was in a meeting, he did not pick it up temporarily. After the small team finished a depressing meeting, he called back.
"I'm sorry, I was in a meeting just now. Why are you looking for me?" Ji Fan asked.
"Great news!" Xu Xiuying said excitedly. "You've hit the jackpot!"
"What other good news could I have?" Ji Fan's tone was calm. His heart was heavy and he could not feel happy at all.
"It's the friend that I introduced to you before. He's interested in your company and is going to invest in you!" Xu Xiuying continued.
"What? Your friend is going to invest in me? "Ji Fan was surprised.
"How much?"
"How would I know, but it won't be little," Xu Xiuying said.
"You have to make it clear, right? It's fine if it's only a few hundred thousand, "Ji Fan said.
"A few hundred thousand? You're underestimating him! He's Hongxin Group's … "Xu Xiuying suddenly stopped.
"What's Hongxin Group's?" Ji Fan asked.
"You'll be scared to death if I tell you. He's the CEO of Hongxin Group!" Xu Xiuying said.
"Tsk, I'm the successor of Tencent Group's CEO!" Ji Fan did not believe her. Why would such a big shot come to his company personally? It would be difficult to even meet him!
"Let me tell you, the CEO of Hongxin Group is my idol. Don't joke about him!" Ji Fan reminded her.
He was not the only founder of Hongxin Group. He was the idol of entrepreneurs all over the world. He started from scratch and relied on the continuous introduction of new technology products to create a powerful business group in just a few years!
Some people speculated that if the founder of Hongxin Group was willing to list his company, he would be the richest man in China, or even the world.
"It's true. You don't believe me, but I'm not lying. That person is my big boss. Just don't talk nonsense," Xu Xiuying said. "I have something to do. I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Fan was confused. He and Xu Xiuying were only business friends. Logically, Xu Xiuying did not have to call him to joke about him. But what Xu Xiuying said was too unbelievable.
The CEO of Hongxin Group came to his company and decided to invest in him? He did not even dare to dream about it.
"CEO Ji, there's a call for you!" At this time, an employee shouted. It was the company's business phone.
"Coming." Ji Fan picked up the phone, and a voice came from the other side. "Hello, I'm the business manager of Hongxin Capital. Are you Mr. Ji Fan from Pioneer Startup Company?"
Hongxin Capital? Ji Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was Hongxin Group's financial institution!
"Yes, I am. May I ask why you're looking for me?" Ji Fan quickly replied.
"It's like this, Mr. Ji. After our investigation, your Pioneer Startup Company has great prospects. Do you have any plans to accept investment?"
"What? Investment?!" Ji Fan's eyes widened, and he almost dropped the phone.
