986 R&D base
Dr. Ton, Zhou Yuan.
"Chou Dong, director of Ackerson Company, Cary Brody wants to treat you to dinner. Fang Wenxiu said.
Cary Brody is the former Chairman of the Board of Directors and a current Director of AXEN.
"This little old man, what's the matter with me?" Zhou Qiang asked.
"It's said that I'm going to talk to you about Smell Digital. Fang Wenxiu said.
After Cary Brody stepped down to make way for Xian, he focused on running Scent Digital.
Zhou Qiang also took a stake in Digital Scent, which is the company's second largest shareholder.
"Where is he?" Zhou Qiang said.
"Cow about. Fang Wenxiu said.
"That's right, let's go to Niuyu, just in time to meet Chu Hanqiao, and see how far the matter of shorting Qisen Company has been. Zhou Qiang said.
“OK。 ”
……
Following.
Zhou Qiang took a private jet and rushed to Niu Yue.
Kari invited him to his home.
The Kari family is located in a luxury villa in Niuyo.
The yard is very large, and there is a swimming pool, which is definitely worth a lot of money in this cattle contract.
"Hi Zhou, you're welcome. Kari stood in the doorway and said enthusiastically.
"It's my pleasure. Zhou Qiang said.
"I'll show you around. Kari said.
"Good. Zhou Qiang nodded.
The people of the United States have a strong sense of territory, and after Zhou Qiang came to the United States, he has not seen many local luxury villas, so he just happened to see it.
"This swimming pool, which cost me a lot of money, has spa, heating, and massage functions, and it is very comfortable to lie in the pool, which can relieve the fatigue of the body. Kari said.
"Can it be used in winter?"
"Of course, winter is like a hot spring, no matter how cold it is outside, the water is warm inside, and a glass of red wine is simply so refreshing. Kari said.
"Yes, when I get back, I'll get one too. Zhou Qiang said.
"Zhou, this villa is all bulletproof glass, the latest anti-theft system, as long as someone leaves, they will call the police directly, and after five minutes, there will definitely be a police officer. Kari said.
"It's safe. ”
"Charlie, open the door. Kari said.
"Yes, master. The door opened.
After Kari took Zhou Qiang into the villa, he said, "Charlie, put on music." ”
"Yes, master. ”
Then, music sounded in the room, it was a symphony, but unfortunately Zhou Qiang hadn't heard it and wasn't very interested.
For him, rock 'n' roll is better.
"Intelligent voice-activated system. Zhou Qiang said.
"Yes. Kari smiled: "Charlie is my smart butler and can help me do a lot of things." ”
"Charlie, call the kitchen and ask them to cook. ”
"Yes, master. ”
"He can still give orders. Zhou Qiang said.
"Something simple, set up in advance. Kari said.
"You are so interested in artificial intelligence, you came to me today, you don't want to invite me to invest together. Zhou Qiang said with a smile.
"No, this is too expensive, we have too little money to play. Kari said.
The leaders of artificial intelligence are Guge, Yaniuxun, Xiaosoft, Xiaoface, etc., these companies are more bullish than a cow, and Zhou Qiang is nothing compared to their assets.
"Then you're looking for me today?"
"Of course, for the sake of Digital Scent, you're the second largest shareholder of this company, and you can't always be the boss. Kari shrugged his shoulders.
"What is the new progress in the company's research and development?" Zhou Qiang said.
"yes, there are some new developments, and because of this, different smells require different materials, and this R&D project is really costly. Kari sighed.
"The company is short of money?" Zhou Qiang said.
"No, there is no shortage for the time being, but if it continues, it is only a matter of time before it continues, after all, the company's technology is not very mature, and it cannot be listed on a large scale for the time being. Kari said.
"And why did you come to me today?"
"I would like to accept your proposal to transfer part of the R&D base to China I. Kari said.
"Why did you suddenly figure it out?" Zhou Qiang asked.
Kari shrugged his shoulders: "It's not sudden, I've thought about it for a long time, the material cost and labor in China I are cheaper, and the industrial chain is more perfect, and in general, the R&D expenditure is far lower than that of the United States." ”
"I agree. Zhou Qiang said.
When the R&D base arrives in China, Zhou Qiang's influence on the digital scent company will increase, which is good for him.
"However, I have one condition. Kari said.
"What conditions. ”
"I hope that when the technology matures, it can be used in the AXEN Cinema Line Company as soon as possible. Kari said.
"Under the same conditions, if the shareholders of the company do not object, they can take the lead in the trial of Axson, and if the shareholders of the company object, or if this trial will bring certain risks to Axson, I will not agree to such a request. Zhou Qiang said.
Axon Company is a listed company, and although Zhou Qiang is the largest shareholder and chairman of the company, he cannot hold a controlling stake.
"I can understand that. Kari nodded.
"Carry, I still suggest that you take the lead in trying it out in Guangning Cinema Company, I am the controlling shareholder of this company, no matter whether the digital scent technology succeeds or fails, even if there will be a lot of losses, there will be no problems. Zhou Qiang said.
"I just hope that as the initiator of this film technology change, even if there will be a temporary loss, it will be beneficial to the future development. Kari sighed.
"I know that you have a deep affection for the company, but there are some shareholders who only care about the immediate interests, and they will not appreciate it. Zhou Qiang said.
"OK, I respect your opinion on this matter, and if the shareholders of the Axon Company object, I can give up my insistence. Kari said.
Zhou Qiang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Carry, thank you for your understanding." ”
Kari smiled, "Don't forget, I've been doing this position longer than you." ”
"As a senior, if there is something in the company in the future, I will ask you for advice, but you are not allowed to resign. Zhou Qiang said.
"Of course. Kari shrugged his shoulders and said, "Zhou, have you paid attention to Sanyo Real Estate during this time?"
Zhou Qiang shook his head: "This time is relatively busy, and I have invested in several projects, but I really didn't care about it." ”
"I heard the news that Li Guoxiong, vice president of Sanyo Company, seems to have made a move recently. Kari said.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know exactly what to do, but he seems to be colluding with shareholders. Kari said.
Zhou Qiang sneered: "It seems that Sanyo Real Estate still refuses to give up. ”
"Sanyo Land is the second largest shareholder of AXEN, so you'd better pay more attention. Kari said.
"I understand, I'll have someone look into it. Zhou Qiang nodded.
Sanyo Real Estate is an old rival and is very good at using means, and Zhou Qiang is a little more vigilant to prevent the other party from competing for control of Axon Company.
