Chapter 655: Wang Dao
At noon, Huanggang port.
The exchanges between the two places are becoming increasingly close, and the flow of people at the entrance and exit ports is dense every day.
Lu Xiao stood at the exit, holding a big sign in his hand, with three eye-catching characters written on it - "Wang Taotao".
His own boss was unreliable, so he told him what the name of Xiao Wang was, and he didn't even have a big name. It wasn't until he found the Dajiang Innovation Company that he knew that Xiao Wang's name sounded quite cute.
Lu Xiao was waiting, but she was still thinking in her heart, I heard that this Wang Taotao is also a post-80s generation, and he should be about the same age as himself. Thinking about the fact that people are actually studying drones and taking the high-tech route, Xiao Luzi, who was born in a Kochi family, inexplicably sighed with emotion, and regretted that he was not serious about his studies at the beginning, and only mixed up with a college diploma.
But after thinking about it, I have come all the way, from group performance to on-site worker, and then became the assistant of the new brother, and now with the title of the production manager of Xinhao Media, it can be regarded as the number one when he goes out.
Each has its own fate, maybe this is fate!
Just when he was thinking divergently, he saw a thin man who looked to be in his early thirties, with a worrying hairline, and a few strands of oily hair stubbornly hanging down on his head, walked over, looked at the sign he was holding in his hand, and asked, "May I ask if you are Manager Lu from the capital?"
"Oh, I am, are you Mr. Wang?"
Lu Xiao hurriedly responded, but looked at the obviously old-fashioned man in front of him with some suspicion.
"Yes, I'm Wang Taotao. The thin man smiled a little shy and nodded in response.
"Hello, hello, I am Lu Xiao, the manager of the production department of Beijing Xinhao Media. Lu Xiao shook hands with the other party, and at the same time took out his business card and reintroduced himself.
"Sorry, I don't have a business card. ”
Wang Taotao looked at the business card, apologized and said at the same time: "I heard that you want to buy our helicopter." ”
"Helicopters? Oh no, we need drones, remote-controlled...... Uh, it's about the same as a model airplane, the kind that can be equipped with a camera on it, and then you can take aerial photos......"
Lu Xiao gestured a little inexplicably, and this person was not a place to talk, so he looked left and right, and pointed to a tea restaurant not far away and said, "In this way, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”
"Uh, okay. ”
......
"That's what happened, and we needed this kind of drone that could carry a camera and then send back images in real time. ”
In the tea restaurant, Lu Xiao introduced Wang Taotao in great detail, and even drew a simple schematic diagram of the scene to be photographed by the air.
Wang Tao blinked his small eyes behind the lenses, and said after a while: "Manager Lu, I think you may have misunderstood, we are doing flight control development, not specific products." ”
"What do you mean by flight control development?" Lu Xiao said stunned.
"Well, the flight control is the use of radio remote control equipment and its own program to control an unmanned helicopter, which is the drone you just mentioned. To put it simply, the helicopter flies in the sky, and through the flight control system, people command below. Wang Taotao explained.
"Isn't this similar to the model airplane I played with when I was a child?" Lu Xiao muttered.
"There is still a difference, in layman's terms, the flight control system we designed is the brain of the unmanned helicopter, and the model aircraft is without a brain; ”
When Lu Xiao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Hey, you said that your flight control system can carry out a lot of practical work, then you can tell me, is it possible to use your flight control system to use these aircraft control lenses I just mentioned?"
He made so much effort to find this Xiao Wang, and he didn't want to go back because of the other party's simple sentence "You may have misunderstood". Besides, this matter is related to millions of investments, and he has to find a way to figure out the meridian.
"This is certainly theoretically feasible......"
Wang Taotao is very confident in his flight control system, which has been designed for several years and is still improving. To be exact, aerial photography like this should be the most basic function.
"What about actually?" Lu Xiao hurriedly asked.
"It's possible in theory, and it's certainly possible in practice. ”
"That's not it, you just do what I just said and help us make one. Lu Xiao slapped the table and said in surprise.
"No, we don't have this product at the moment, we mainly sell flight control systems. Wang Taotao pushed his glasses, looking embarrassed.
"Then where can I do it?" Lu Xiao hurriedly asked.
"Well, there may not be one in China at the moment, but there may be one in Germany, the United States and Australia, but as far as I know, most of them are products that are used in laboratories for testing, and they may not be available on the market. ”
“......”
These little Lu Zi were completely out of line, scratching their ears and cheeks for a long time, but they still didn't give up and said: "Can't you find someone to do this?
"Sold to laboratories, there are also enthusiasts who like this unmanned helicopter. ”
"Then there must be a plane, right?"
"yes, it's usually assembled by yourself. ”
"Huh?"
Xiao Lu Zi suddenly jumped up as if he was in a desperate situation, and asked with a look of anticipation, "So you can also assemble it?"
"Of course you can, but we assembled it to test the flight control system, and we didn't sell it. Wang Tao said very sincerely.
“......”
Xiao Luzi suddenly found that it was really difficult to talk to this kind of nerd, and he had already told him that he wanted to buy one, but he just grabbed what flight control system to put on, why didn't he know how to work around?
"Then you can sell one to us!"
"But we're only testing it, you're going to make a movie, the features are different, and I don't know what your specific requirements are?"
"Uh......"
This little Lu Zi really couldn't say it for a while, he thought for a while and said, "In this way, I'll ask first." ”
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called He Xin: "Brother, I found Xiao Wang, the situation is like this......"
He said it all over again.
After listening to He Xin, who was answering the phone while stir-frying in the kitchen, he muttered: "In this way, you bring him to the capital, and when the time comes, sit down with Director Xu Ke and them to talk about this matter to see if there is such a possibility." ”
"Got it, brother!"
After putting down the phone, Lu Xiao said directly to Wang Tao: "Mr. Wang, see if it is convenient in the past two days, our boss wants to invite you to go to the capital, and then discuss with the director about this drone." ”
Xiao Luzi was also worried that this nerd would not agree, so he specially added: "In terms of price, you can rest assured, our boss has always been very generous." ”
Invite a Hollywood professional team to come and shoot it, it costs millions, if it is feasible here, let alone hundreds of thousands, even millions are cost-effective. And as the manager of the production department of Xinhao Media, Xiao Luzi also kept an eye on it, and when the time came, he would also form a team, and the professional team in Hollywood would charge thousands of dollars per hour, and he would charge thousands of yuan, and the business would definitely not be less at that time.
Wang Taotao, who was originally a tendon, was immediately moved when he heard that the price was negotiable. During this time, he was worried about money.
Thinking about it, he was a high school student from Hangzhou with mediocre academic performance, and he was able to come to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to study, which is naturally not from an ordinary family. For his own hobbies, he and his friends raised 2 million Hong Kong dollars two years ago to set up the current company of Dajiang Innovation.
In the past two years, only the input and output have been extremely limited. Moreover, drone technology is now a cutting-edge technology, and small companies located in Lotus Village, Shenzhen, cannot recruit excellent talents at all. And the talents who relied on his own painstaking training, some turned around and took refuge in the partners they had negotiated. There are also people who secretly put the company's finances up for sale online because the company can't pay wages temporarily. What's even more excessive is that some of the resignations actually colluded with the company's internal employees to sell pirated flight controllers.
After more than two years of hard work and millions of investments, the company has not even had time to launch the first generation of products, but now due to financial reasons, the company is about to fall apart.
At the same time, because Lu Xiao mentioned before, his boss sent him to Shenzhen to find him because he knew about it.
Wang Tao glanced at Lu Xiao's business card, he was really unfamiliar with the company Xinhao Media printed on it, and he studied the flight control system of unmanned aerial vehicles, and he had never had any intersection with the film company.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What movies did you Xinhao Media make before, and how did your boss know about me?"
"I really don't know how our boss knows about you. But haven't you even heard of our Xinhao Media?" Xiao Luzi inevitably said with some surprise.
Although the company is not big in the industry, Xinhao Media is still very well-known.
"Well, this is the first time I've heard of it. Wang Tao said embarrassedly.
"Did you know that 'A Tale of Two Donkeys', which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival last year?"
"I don't know. ”
"Tsk, you should have watched "Crazy Stone" and last year's popular "Latent", right?"
"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it. ”
"These are all made by our company! And this time our company is preparing a blockbuster, do you know who the director is?"
"Who?"
"Xu Ke!"
"Ah, it's Director Xu Ke!"
Even if Wang Taotao doesn't watch movies again, it's impossible not to know who Xu Ke is!
He immediately hurriedly said: "Is it a martial arts movie?"
"Well, this one is kept secret for now. But you went to the capital with me to find out. ”
"Okay, I'll go to the capital with you. ”
Xu Ke's name still made Wang Taotao decide to trust the manager Lu in front of him and the Xinhao Media he had heard of for the first time, anyway, he just went to the capital for a trip, in case the business was done, he could make a little money, and it would be good to temporarily relieve the current economic pressure.
Lu Xiao was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "That's without further ado, we'd better set off early, when can you leave?"
Wang Tao muttered: "I have to bring our test helicopter, tomorrow." ”
"Okay!"
