Of course, Ju Chen's electric car modification with two old drivers is useless, but an old driver has taken a fancy to the collar of the cat sadist, thinking that there must be business opportunities, since Professor Juchen is already promoting his programming crowdsourcing company, why not develop this collar himself?

Make the electronic fence collar a little more delicate and humane, maybe it can be sold at a good price.

Another veteran driver was worried: "Will the passive protection organization oppose it?" After all, electric shocks are very extreme, will they hurt the kittens?"

Juchen: "Uh...... It makes sense, who knows the frequency range of sound waves that cats' ears can hear? Is there any ultrasound that doesn't coincide with people? I think you can use noise instead of electric shocks, cat ears are so sensitive, I guess noise can also make them crazy. ”

The two old drivers agreed, and A said: "Yes, yes, yes, even if it is not different from humans, ultrasound can also be directed and does not affect humans...... Compare power consumption. ”

The direct use of Dajiang's electronic fence is definitely infringing, they must develop it themselves, and when it comes to development, the PCC platform has something to do.

In order to develop this electronic fence, PCC also used the laboratory for the first time, rented office space, and the engineers who grabbed the order could go to the laboratory to do experiments, turning purely remote work into a real gathering in the physical space, allowing PCC to have more imagination space, and also write this into Juchen's TED Talk.

Although the new content was rough, the effect was good at the time, and in a very nervous mood, Juchen finally completed a passable speech, focusing not on his acting skills, but on the content, which made him feel that he could move from his status as an undergraduate associate professor at Columbia University to a new identity - a work platform full of future imagination.

Within a day of the TED Talk, he received emails from more than a dozen venture capital firms, including industry leaders. Of course, he is very busy, and he has no time to contact investors for the time being, but to recruit a chief operating officer for PCC, because this platform first needs to become a software outsourcing company, he has no experience in this area, and he is not interested in investing too much, and recruiting a COO is a must.

Of course, the COO is not easy to find, he can only choose a temporary operation director among the existing members to be responsible for preparing the outsourcing business, although this guy is very amateurish, but he can't withstand the power of TED Talks, but he has pulled some business, so that PCC can really run.

Juchen breathed a sigh of relief and began to contact the first investor, starting with a relatively unknown small institution, Juchen also appreciated them more, after all, they could occupy a dominant position, if they cooperated with the big guys, maybe they would be anti-customer-oriented.

Ju Chen's style is to meet an investor a day, talk for a few hours, and break up in a hurry if he can't talk, and he continues to be busy in the company's laboratory, that is, the office.

Sometimes investors will be called directly to the company by him to negotiate, this day came a venture capital boss, has come to the company and is interested in their company's signboard, this sign is very simple, that is, it says PCC, and then in small print says Programming Crowd-sourcing Co.

But this big guy specifically asked: "Who designed your LOGO? ”

Ju Chen: "I write it myself, I am a calligraphy lover, and I am interested in both Chinese characters and English calligraphy. ”

The big guy was shocked: "You are still a designer?"

Juchen shrugged: "When I was young, I wanted to try everything, of course, calligraphy was not good at that time, and I suddenly opened up recently." He couldn't help but think that he could rely on calligraphy to trick a virgin sister into taking him home to eat and live, and it felt amazing to think about it.

The big guy carefully looked at every detail of the font, because he was also a designer, and the posture of each letter is different, but it is particularly suitable for their current position, which is really amazing. The big guy couldn't help but admire: "If you don't become a founder, you can still find a job as a designer, and my company will definitely hire you." ”

Juchen laughed: "The designer is very hard, don't hurt me." ”

Big Guy: "It's no wonder you started a crowdsourcing company, and if this project is successful, it will be a subversion of the human working condition." ”

The requirements of the big guy are very demanding, although it is very talkative, but the business is not negotiated, and then the magic thing happens, and then the investors are basically amazed by the LOGO he designed, as if he was enchanted by the big guy, does this big guy have a circle of friends? And he shared his views on the PCC signboard in the circle of friends?

Actually, no, it is true that this time Juchen's almost handwritten design played a chemical role.

The highest level of design is to do whatever you want, so what makes Juchen happy these days is not how much the valuation of investors is, but that he is praised for the beautiful LOGO.

In fact, tobacco companies also want to diversify their business, BAT has a related venture capital company, and learned from various sources that PCC's valuation has exceeded 100 million US dollars, and it is very shocking that the opponent they have to face is no longer an ordinary person, but a star entrepreneur. You know, a $1 billion valuation is a unicorn company, and PCC is only now conducting Series A financing, and the valuation is likely to continue to rise after that.

How much did Juchen claim against BAT last time? It seems to be ten times that of 10 million, just 100 million US dollars, this amount, I don't even have to think about it, but now, people have really earned 100 million US dollars, which makes the relevant personnel of BAT psychologically change, as if it is not impossible to give 100 million US dollars in compensation.

So far, it's unlikely, but ...... The specialized lawyer hired by Juchen is very powerful, and has mastered some evidence through various channels, although it is insufficient, but it has already posed a certain threat to BAT.

This so-called specialized lawyer is a double agent, on the one hand, he works for Juchen, and on the other hand, he reveals some of the evidence in his possession to the BAT, which means very simply, give me money, and I will help you settle it.

This double-faced lawyer "only" $5 million, however, BAT's mentality immediately changed, because the $5 million is not once and for all, since this lawyer can master the evidence, other lawyers can too, Juchen saw that the lawyer was not strong, in case of changing one, the 5 million that BAT used to bribe the lawyer would be wasted.

How many 5 million will they spend!

It just so happened that at this time, Juchen cared about the case and asked the lawyer about the progress, and the lawyer was afraid that Juchen would dismiss him from this stall, so he revealed a loss, and Juchen said casually: "Okay, you can sue, don't waste too much time on this." ”

Lawyer: "It will take more time to be more sure." ”

Ju Chen: "It's okay, I'll sue now, I don't want to wait, you know I have more important things to do, and I don't want to keep thinking about this in my heart." ”

The double-faced lawyer was still verbose, Juchen ignored him, called another particularly active lawyer over, and asked him to take over the work of the double-faced, which startled the double-faced lawyer, and quickly revealed some evidence, saying that he would obey the command and immediately prosecute.

So, the public relations department on the BAT side was still in session, and the legal department notified them that they had received a court summons.

Vanessa still wanted to continue to talk to Juchen, but Juchen was really busy during this time, and he couldn't spare time, and he didn't seem to have much to say, so Vanessa regarded him as refusing to talk about peace.

This lawsuit made BAT very entangled, the other party did not have a lot of evidence, but the reputation of the tobacco company is always bad, in case the scientist Internet celebrity sue is really successful, not only will you have to lose money, but also bear the worse loss of brand reputation, so there are already voices within the company that are inclined to settle with 100 million US dollars.

$100 million is really a lot, but in the process of contact, Juchen proposed that he would use bitcoin to receive the goods, let them go to the offshore center to buy $100 million worth of bitcoin, and then transfer part by part to the designated account, which can save a lot of taxes and fees.

BAT has never operated this thing, and I can't help but scratch my head, big companies are always unable to adapt to this new world, especially companies that started with tobacco and didn't pursue it.

In order to evade U.S. law, BAT must operate through an offshore financial center, which is a multinational corporation anyway, and there are many such branches.

100 million US dollars in bitcoin? Thinking about it, Juchen didn't even pay much attention to the PCC during this time, and concentrated on studying the possibility of this compensation.
