Chapter XXXVIII Home Furnishing Exhibition 2
Isn't this just talking, Manager Hu has gotten rid of the reporters who keep asking questions, and came to Shi Lei with a smile on his face, Shi Lei introduced both parties, and conveyed the thoughts of his companions.
"No problem, you are all friends of the stone, and you are also science and technology experts. You can come and hold the air box and stereo before you go, I just hope you can tell us about the feelings and suggestions of the experience, and you are welcome to give more valuable comments. Manager Hu said happily.
"What about curved TVs? I can buy it for a high price, as long as I have it as much as I can. Alexander said impatiently.
"Curved TVs haven't been put into mass production yet,We only brought two this time,One is used as a backup machineγ Manager Hu said with some hesitation, but after getting Shi Lei's signal, he said:
"But when the show is over, I can give you a spare machine."
"That's great, but I'll pay for it, how about the price of Samsung's model?" Alexander said cheerfully.
Manager Hu thought about it and didn't refuse, and agreed to it.
"Miss Lulu, what about the smart community?" Manager Hu looked at Lulu expectantly.
"Well, I think it's a good idea, but I guess you might as well get in touch with my dad and I'll talk to him." At this time, Lulu showed her bearing as the first heir to the real estate tycoon, and she was not a little girl who would only be surprised.
Then Manager Hu talked a few words and then quit first under the pretext that there were a lot of things, of course he was really busy.
"So, can we each find something that interests us? I feel that there are so many beautiful women here that I shouldn't waste my time on boring things. Playboy Robinson said with some arrogance.
"Alright, let's go find something fun." Shi Lei said.
As soon as Shi Lei finished speaking, Robinson ran to another booth and talked to a blonde and breasted beauty, and after a while, there was talk and laughter, alas, this is also people's ability, and he must be asked to teach Shi Chuan both hands when he goes back.
Alexander went to explore all kinds of technological mysteries, Lincoln looked like an investigation, Curry and Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to have found a common topic, and Lulu had been following Eric, and it seemed that she wanted to pinch Eric's cute face. Shi Lei had no choice but to go shopping by himself.
Obviously, Shi Lei is not a technical nerd, he is usually a lazy person, he doesn't have the spirit of research, and the computers and mobile phones he uses have always been enough, so what he holds in his hand is even a motorcycle's three-proof machine, but for Shi Lei, he can use it, he can listen to music, read novels, and occasionally play games. Unlike many guys, the guys in their hands have to be tossed to the strongest, in a word, it's not necessary.
So it stands to reason that he just has the attitude of looking at the latest things on display, and he will only take a look at the fun ones, such as the air box, which are just right for the function.
No, as he walked around, he saw something more interesting. This is a smart device like a dressing mirror, listen to the introduction, this mirror can automatically show the effect of wearing clothes, so that you don't have to try them on one by one.
You can also recommend suitable clothes to the owner according to the owner's dressing habits and style, and score the matching effect, and you can also adjust the owner's wardrobe according to the owner's schedule, of course, there are also functions such as online recommendation and ordering clothes, in short, this is equivalent to an all-round image designer and clothing housekeeper.
Shi Lei thinks this thing is very practical, whether it is for women who are unsure of what to wear or always feel that they are missing a piece of clothing in their wardrobe, or for men who don't know how to dress themselves.
Shi Lei chatted with the two men who seemed to be a little leisurely at the booth. Both of them came to UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles, one of the top schools) to study, and after graduation, they started their own smart home company, this smart dressing mirror is their only product at present, and there are many other ideas that have not yet been realized.
But their startup is having a hard time, and no one is willing to invest in them yet. This Shi Lei understands why. There is a gap between the criteria for judging startups in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley. The Los Angeles area is more interested in the immediate benefits, which means that the company must be profitable before they invest.
As long as there is potential, Silicon Valley can invest, and it takes more of a wide net, but as long as one of them taps the potential, they can make a lot of money.
For example, Google and Facebook, two Internet companies back then, were in a large proportion of debt when they ushered in investment, and they have been throwing money at the same time, and there is no profit point.
But Shi Lei is not very clear about whether this project has prospects, after all, he is not a professional investor, and the previous investments were only made when they were determined to be profitable.
So Shi Lei found Shi Chuan first. Shi Chuan is responsible for the technical maintenance of the equipment, as long as the equipment can be displayed normally, it will be fine, so Shi Lei called Shi Chuan to see how this product is.
Shi Chuan tried to tell Shi Lei that the technical level of the product is quite high, from the perspective of operation experience and details, the technical level is in place, Shi Lei needs to consider whether there is a market for the creativity and function of this product, and he can't provide any advice in this regard.
Shi Lei, who had no choice but to wait until Robinson and the other young people were almost shopping, gathered them together again, and said his opinion of this company. Several people were very interested and followed Shi Lei to the booth. After seeing the real thing, several people expressed their opinions.
"I think it's cool, it's good, but if you don't go out, won't you need it?" As an American tech nerd, or a rich dead house in the family, his level should be worth affirming, but the last sentence still exposes the essence of his dead house.
"I also think it's worth the investment, and you think about a beautiful woman standing naked in front of the mirror, constantly trying on virtual clothes, what a beautiful scenery it is."
Should Robinson's words be believed, after all, Lao Tzu is an investment for a living, he should have some vision, but the latter words make people confused, what kind of investment is he aiming for?
Several other men also said that if they decided to invest, everyone should come up with some pocket money to make it up.
Then everyone looks at the only lady here, Miss Lulu, and it seems that this thing is more suitable for women.
"I think it's very easy to use, it's very convenient to try on clothes and buy clothes, and it's equivalent to having an extra dressing assistant, if the price is not very expensive, I will definitely buy it." Lulu affirmed.
"Well, since the ladies think it's good, then I think it should be worth investing, so which of you is going to invest? How much can I contribute? How many shares do you intend to own? Shi Lei asked a few companions.
Then everyone began to calculate how much pocket money they still had, everyone could come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and finally simply unified, each person contributed 500,000 US dollars, so that the total investment was 4 million US dollars, but Shi Lei thought that since he initiated it, he should invest more money and take greater risks, so he added another 1 million US dollars,
Others also expressed their understanding that the rules of the game are like this, Shi Lei found the project so he took greater risks, and if he succeeded, he shared a bigger cake, so that the total investment became 500 million US dollars, which should be enough for the company for a long time.
As for the negotiation and the negotiation of details, of course, Robinson, who claims to be the most professional investor, carried out the implementation. Of course, everyone will call their own lawyer to sign a contract.
By the way, Lincoln, who is a state legislator, also invested, although his salary is pitiful, only 600 US dollars, which is not as good as the average cowboy on the ranch, but his father is the CEO of a large arms company.
When George W. Bush took office, he waged so many wars, and behind them was the instigation of this group of people, who were also staunch supporters of the Republican Party. As a result, both Ms. Santa Barbara and Lincoln have relatively important positions in the party. Lincoln had such a father, and of course there was no shortage of money.
Shi Lei's money will be transferred through another offshore investment company, and in order to facilitate management, several people's money may also be put into an investment company.
After this is done, everyone who has turned around should do what to do, of course, before leaving, they did not forget to go to Manager Hu to take away the new product as an evaluation expert, which is an important basis for them to go back to show off. After all, are they all young people, who doesn't want to have more face.
Bidding farewell to these people, Shi Lei felt that there was nothing he was interested in at the exhibition, and the rest were all kinds of TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc., all of which were similar things, and Shi Lei didn't plan to change them to new ones, so he stopped watching them.
Shi Lei told Manager Hu that they would hold a party at the ranch in the evening, so that they would come back to participate in it at that time.
Well, I have to quietly tell Shi Chuan when I turn around, I have to seize the opportunity to take down Yang Yun this time, if I can use this opportunity to cook raw rice for him, his girlfriend will not run away.
After saying that, Shi Lei also drove back to Santa Barbara in a raptor pickup, and purchased a lot of things along the way, adding a lot of Chinese spices in the Chinese supermarket in Los Angeles, such as bean paste, sesame sauce and balsamic vinegar, and of course, buying a few more bottles of Lao Gan Ma. I bought some fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat.
The last time they came to the party, they killed an entire bottle of old godmother. At first, I thought it was delicious and delicious, and then I started to use it to eat with wine, and finally even the little content and chili oil that was left was poured down by a few crazy guys who bet on it, and my face became very wonderful at that time. Since they are in need, of course Shi Lei has to prepare a little more, and it is also excellent to talk about what he eats in the steamed buns.
When I passed by the farmer's market, I bought some fresh vegetables and fruits, and went back to ask Garcia to help kill a sheep, the sheep on the ranch were very popular with cowboys and neighbors, and these guys who came to play planned to buy some back, but Shi Lei did not agree.
