When he came out of the house, Wu Pan was wearing a contrasting sportswear printed with letters, and wireless headphones were hanging around his neck, looking like he was keeping up with fashion trends. But it was all ruined by the large luggage that rattled behind him.

Although the suitcase with a beautiful sticker is a famous literary item, it is the patent of small boxes, and large boxes are still silently thick.

Although in his opinion, the Spring Girl had returned to Ludao to drive away the cold, and the temperature had been warm and comfortable enough in the past few days, but when he went out, his mother still gave him a health education of "spring cover and autumn freezing", and then stuffed him with a bunch of heavy winter clothes. Coupled with a few other things, the original beautiful hard-shell box couldn't be stuffed, and I ended up dragging a big, old-fashioned suitcase out of the house.

The only thing that made him feel relieved was that Shen Mo's guy was also stuffed with a bunch of thick clothes when he came out of the house, and when he returned to school, he pulled two boxes on the train.

Of course, it is not easy to have such troubles in the future, because they are not planning to go to graduate school, and their college career is only the last semester now, and there is still a little feeling of nostalgia when you think about it!

The Didi driver is obviously an old driver, but after a short time of carrying the suitcase and stuffing it into the trunk of the car, he has already guessed what is inside, and said to Wu Pan with a smile: "Mom forced you a lot of winter clothes?"

Wu Pan didn't feel surprised, the destination of his order was the new campus of Lu University, and it was easy for people to guess the identity of his returning student, so he just nodded lightly and started playing the game by himself.

This is not interested in chatting, and the driver's uncle is not talking much at the moment and concentrates on driving.

In fact, clothes and other things don't have much impact on Wu Pan's mood, the reason why he is a little low pressure and reluctant to talk to people is because his man's menstrual period is coming, ah no, he is thinking about a major problem in life and career. As soon as I have time, I can't help but think about it, and it feels like outsiders are naturally cold and unwilling to communicate.

As for the one who seized a lot of Wu Pan's thinking resources, it was the hair-combing robot "Erya" that he and Shen Mo co-created.

After several months of R&D and commissioning, Erya has completed all the design work, successfully entered the payback period as planned, and is about to start delivering products to crowdfunding investors.

This was supposed to be a good thing, but the two of them were not happy, and their hearts were full of apprehension.

The reason is naturally that they are not satisfied with their products and have no confidence.

Erya's original design has a lot of assumptions and ideals, and they have a huge pressure to reduce the manufacturing cost to less than 1,500 yuan, so they can only compromise on the use of lower-cost plastic and rubber materials, and the sensors and motors are also simplified to a certain extent.

Of course, these changes will affect the performance of the final product, plastic brings heat dissipation problems, reduces sensors and motors affect the accuracy of action, and the final result is naturally that Erya's "hair braiding technology" has made slow progress, and only a few simple hairstyles have been learned in a few months, and the hairstyles made are also loose and loose, basically without much practical value.

This result made the two young people very anxious, and they felt very sorry for the high expectations of 5,000 investors, especially 600 users who supported them in full. To this end, they also wrote more than 600 handwritten letters of apology, which they planned to put in the packaging of the first batch of products to express their apologies.

In the showroom of the ACPC Ludao Intelligent Manufacturing Center, Zhou Wei, the person in charge of the center, told Ma Atletico about this incident as an anecdote, "Now some students are still too naïve and whimsical, and the products they make are too unreliable." ”

As a semi-official organization, ACPC has a series of preferential policies to support entrepreneurs, and it is also a participant in the "Entrepreneurship Alliance Program" of Bee Crowdfunding, so Wu Pan and they handed over 700 production orders for Erya robots here. The paragraph of the handwritten apology letter reached Director Zhou's ears because of this.

It's just that the young civil servant gentleman didn't know the relationship between the two founders of Atletico Madrid and Mopan Technology, so he told it with a joke and contempt.

As for whether there is any further insinuation of bee crowdfunding because of this "failed project", it is tacitly discerned.

However, he chose the wrong target, putting aside the personal friendship between Atletico Madrid and Shen Mo and Wu Pan, just because they were entrepreneurial pioneers that the bees deliberately supported, they were not allowed to fail at all.

What's more, Atletico itself doesn't think there is anything wrong with this project, so Commissioner Ma said very calmly: "I don't see it that way." ”

"Director Zhou," Atletico looked at each other, "the city, the school, and our bees have cooperated to establish this intelligent manufacturing center, the purpose of which is to respond to the national slogan of 'mass entrepreneurship, innovation', and help young entrepreneurs complete the leap from 0 to 1 on the road to entrepreneurship." So in terms of attitude, we must remember the duty of the service and do our best to help them make good products, don't you say?"

Zhou Wei was choked by Atletico Madrid's official tone at that time, but he could only nod his head again and again, after all, the official clichés are always correct words.

"And," Atletico said, fingering the exhibits on the shelves, "R&D is a risky thing, and we've made so many failed products. ”

Most of these products come from bees, which are failed projects that have not been officially launched due to cost and market expectations after the completion of research and development, and have been temporarily filled by ACPC, which has just been established, in the showroom. Although they failed, as engineering samples, they still have a strong sense of rugged mechanical beauty and unclear sense of science and technology, and they are especially suitable for bluffing people like the light strip in the engine room and the exercise rocket.

Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Atletico Madrid began to accept it when it was good, and said in a changed tone: "Crowdfunding is an investment activity with great uncertainty, and both investors, sponsors, and the platform itself must be psychologically prepared for project failure or failure to meet expectations." ”

"Even the KS platform, the originator of crowdfunding, has been operating hard in Europe and the United States with better conditions for 6 years, and has engaged in a total of more than 200,000 crowdfunding projects, and in the end, only more than 8,000 have finally incubated new companies with stable operations. Crowdfunding stars like the OCUL Day FT virtual reality headset and Pebble smart bracelet, as well as the Star Citizen game, are completely unavoidable and unlikely events. ”

"It is those projects that have successfully raised funds and successfully completed the return of the product are the root of the crowdfunding platform, such as the so-called crowdfunding on the e-commerce platform of Goudong Crowdfunding and Taobao Crowdfunding, and the high success rate is actually exchanged for a high completion threshold. ”

"As for those '1 yuan crowdfunding 6s', they are even more evil in the evil way. ”

"Yes, yes, we will definitely do a good job of docking with Bee Crowdfunding in the future, and strive to help more creative ideas become reality. ”

The goal has been achieved, Atletico Madrid will not say anything more, and honestly follow the visit and research path arranged by the center to inspect a circle, and record some political achievements.

Atletico Madrid did not come as one of the ACPC investors and the controller of the technology provider, but came to investigate as the tail circle of the National Securities Association, so there is a scene where the director of the front center accompanies the whole process.

He will be in Beijing for a meeting next month, so naturally he needs to prepare some necessary desk work. If you just hand in an issue and talk about it, you will be impatiently put on the Internet by comrades reporters with magnifying glasses, and then they will be provoked and whipped by netizens across the country. And what's worse is that these contents will become a menstrual topic in the future, and will be reviewed every March, along with strange remarks such as "please send a thousand yuan bills" and "you need to make a report for approval on the Internet".

Although he is an Internet celebrity with a very entertaining spirit and self-blackening habits, such a result is naturally not what Atletico Madrid is willing to achieve, so after he returned to Ludao after the Spring Festival vacation, he began to do research on the topic of "entrepreneurial support". is not only to show achievements, but also to seek development, decent, should not be photographed very badly.

Speaking of Atletico and Bees, the accumulation in the field of entrepreneurship is still very deep, from the earliest sunrise plan, entrepreneurship fund, flower hunting plan and other financial support projects, and then to the later CTA, crowdfunding platform, slowly accumulated a relatively complete upstream industrial chain. When the Luda Innovation Center and the Ludao Intelligent Manufacturing Center outside start operating, his entrepreneurial ecosystem is finally complete, and the next step is to make stars.

And Wu Pan's grinding disc technology is the first batch of entrepreneurial star reserves selected by Atletico Madrid.

Although they are a little older and can't rub off with the popular topic of "post-95 entrepreneurship", after all, they are Ma Dong's acquaintances, and the project seems to be more reliable, so they still chose their project without hesitation. Otherwise, with their weak propaganda ability, the second robot should still be just a PPT presentation file now.

Although Wu Pan feels that he has messed up, in Atletico Madrid's view, Erya's current situation is just right, and there is a lot of hope that he can succeed.

As he left, he strongly suggested that the center raise the priority of the project and strive to complete all manufacturing orders by March. However, before that, they still need to wait for the final confirmation of the grinding disc technology, and the other party may have to modify the appearance of the product.

Zhou Wei naturally agreed, ACPC is not a big factory, and it is natural that it cannot be done with a daily output of thousands of units, but it is still very easy to produce hundreds of small robots in a week, and it can be easily completed without even working overtime.

Naturally, Atletico noticed the terrible features of the stereotyped combing robot, but what he valued more was its unique and cute new appearance. Before, it was completely sick to use the metal shell indiscriminately, but now this cute plastic shape is the STLE that female users are likely to accept.

The final version of the exterior design is very different from the beginning, after the two girls Sun Xiang and Qi Linlin joined, the male appearance that originally looked like a mechanical octopus was abandoned and replaced with a cute shape that is more popular with girls. The six robots are made of a special blue soft rubber material that allows them to move freely from an early stage, and the ends can be used to hold the hair and weave the hair. The shell of the main part is made to resemble a smiley face, and with a simple LED light cluster, it can bring a simple analog expression.

Then, these designs reminded Atletico of the popular anime character Squid Niang, and an idea popped into his mind.

Inspired by the spirit of everything that can be cute, Masahiro Abe, a cartoonist with a big brain in the island country, turned the marine mollusk squid into a natural girl with blue tentacle-like hair and a white hat (in fact, it is the main body), and really captured the love of a group of otaku otaku. After the animation of "Invasion! Squid Girl" has increased in popularity, and its influence has further spread to the majority of passers-by, and Squid Niang has also become a popular character in the cospla blue hair group.

He didn't know if Erya's drastic appearance was affected by this anime character, but the instinct of a businessman made him feel that there was business to be done here. In particular, the original comic is finally coming to an end after the serialization enters its 9th year, and it is just the rhythm of taking the opportunity to sell a wave of peripherals, so he plans to contact Wu Pan and them, suggesting that he improve the appearance of Erya and try to get closer to the squid girl.

The official version of 1799 yuan may be too expensive in China, but on the contrary, those otaku fans are just one or two genuine figures or the price of several ten-even cards, and the market potential is huge.

If you can reach a cooperation with "Zhou", it is good to introduce the official image to join the official peripheral luxury lunch, even if the cooperation fails, it can also be simplified to make special cos props for tentacle characters such as squid girls, I believe that there will definitely be local tyrants to pay.

If you really can't do it, you can also find a senior painter to help you make a cute original shape for Erya, which is also a good way. Anyway, in this era where cuteness is justice and appearance is also productivity, a cute and pleasing enough appearance is likely to be more attractive than the inner function, and it is completely worth the investment.

Thinking of this, Atletico Madrid immediately took out his mobile phone, entered all these thoughts, and added words that bees could give some support, and then sent them to Wu Pan and Shen Mo.

Wu Pan, who had just arrived at the school, was naturally ecstatic and full of fighting spirit after receiving the email from Atletico Madrid, and he didn't care about sending his luggage to the dormitory, so he sat on the side of the road and chatted with Shen Mo and discussed the next plan of action. They directly skipped the first two suggestions put forward by Atletico and chose the third, intending to find artists and 3D designers to help design the new look, of course, borrowing some elements of the squid girl.

The two of them were full of energy, but they didn't realize that they were actually chess pieces in someone's hand, and they were just a group of chess pieces.

But even if you understand it, it's stupid not to accept this kind of mutually beneficial thing, right?
