Chapter 60: First Meeting (Asking for Recommendations)
The next day.
In the seaside town agreed by Chen Shen, today is as calm as ever, the milk tea shop is crowded, and the boss bows his head and plays with his mobile phone.
Ma Zhen came in the car early.
"There aren't many people in this town, let alone you, an outsider."
The words of the taxi driver who pulled him still echoed in his ears.
Ma Zhen walked through the streets of the town and didn't feel anything special.
On both sides of the street, there are either vegetable stalls or small shops that are closely related to daily life.
I don't see anything special at all.
"Why did you make an appointment to meet at this place?" Ma Zhen was confused.
He is the founder and leader of the prosthetic research team contacted by Chen's father, who just graduated this year, and gathered a group of classmates to study myoelectric prosthetics together when he was in school, planning to start a business after graduation with an investment.
However, the reality is cruel, and no one is optimistic about the myoelectric prosthetics they are studying.
Some of the investors they met admired their confidence and vitality, but they didn't think that their team could make any breakthrough results, and they were not willing to invest in their grass team.
Because the technology used in the field of myoelectric prosthetics is quite mature, and the degree of marketization is also quite high.
In this case, no one thinks that they can make anything as a team, and they really haven't made any big breakthroughs now.
The only thing I can tell investors about is the pure heart of my own team.
It's just that investors don't like to hear about this the most.
From graduation to now, the time is about to run to November, half a year is almost over, I haven't seen a penny, but the money on my body is constantly sticking out, and I can't see the future.
Everyone is about to give up hope, and they are going to disband the team and go to find jobs.
Who knew that I suddenly received a phone call, saying that it was introduced by a previous investor, interested in their project, and hoped to meet and discuss in detail.
This is like a life-saving straw that ignites hope in everyone's hearts.
So, the boss of the team, Ma Zhen, carried everyone's hopes, got on the train alone, and finally came to this town after a few more car turns.
As for why he was the only one, it was because the tickets were so expensive that they couldn't afford a second ticket anymore.
However, looking at the town in front of him, Ma Zhen felt more and more hopeless.
This doesn't look like a place where local tyrants live.
In the whole town, there is not even a house that looks luxurious.
The phone vibrated suddenly.
Ma Zhen took it out and took a look: "Old Ma, how is it, have you met?" ”
It was a partner in the WeChat group who asked him about the meeting.
As soon as "hanging ......" typed a word, Ma Zhen deleted it.
Everyone has great hopes for this meeting, and it can be said that this is the last life of their team, if they can't make it......
The rest of the team would pool money to buy him a ticket to the return trip, and then everyone would ask for money from their families and go out to find a job.
I haven't seen anyone yet, and I can't let my emotions affect everyone.
Ma Zhen reorganized the language: "I just arrived at the agreed place, I haven't met yet, don't worry, everyone, the results will definitely be announced in the group as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, old horse, you have to come on."
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Looking at everyone's cheering expressions, Ma Zhen took a deep breath and felt more and more that he had a great responsibility.
Walking into this bubble tea shop, Ma Zhen was immediately watched by the boss.
As if sitting down in his position, the boss immediately came over.
"What do you need?"
Ma Zhen tried his best to hide the embarrassment in his heart, and subconsciously pressed his pocket: "Wait a minute, I'll wait for someone." ”
"Okay." The boss was stunned for a moment, then nodded and left.
Ma Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
After drinking this cup of milk tea, he doesn't have to eat at night.
He sat in his seat, feeling uneasy, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.
Finally, the phone rang, and he quickly connected.
"Hello, is this Mr. Ma Zhenma?"
"Yes, yes." Ma Zhen replied.
"Have you arrived at the agreed place?"
"I've arrived."
Ma Zhen only realized at this time that the voice on the other side seemed to be a little different......
It's not like an adult, it's more of a young man's shallot.
"I'll be there in five minutes, and we'll see you then."
"Okay."
After Ma Zhen finished speaking, the other side hung up the phone, and then he glanced at the boss at the counter and smiled at him.
You see, I'm really waiting for someone.
The boss didn't know why, but he smiled at him.
Ma Zhen chatted with the people in the group, and five minutes passed unconsciously.
Chen Shen walked in from the outside and saw the only customer in the store at a glance - Ma Zhen.
"Hello, my name is Chen Shen." Chen Shen walked up to Ma Zhen and stretched out his hand to greet him.
Ma Zhen, who was still chatting, stood up from the chair like an electric shock, put down his mobile phone, and held Chen Shen's hand with both hands: "Hello, I'm Ma Zhen, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
The two sat on the chairs, Chen Shen glanced at Ma Zhen, and quickly grasped his current situation.
The new graduate is nervous in his every move, obviously lacking self-confidence, which is usually no money or no money, or no money.
Apparently he has been ravaged by society many times.
Ma Zhen was also secretly looking at Chen Shen at this time.
This person's face seems to be too immature, at the same level as a certain young man's group, just looking at his eyes, you can feel that this person must be an extremely confident person, and he is also a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere?
Chen Shen went straight to the point: "Your team is working on myoelectric prosthetics now, right?" ”
Ma Zhen came to his senses and straightened his waist: "That's right, we are currently working on a three-degree-of-freedom myography upper limb. ”
He was afraid that Chen Shen would not understand, and specially explained: "The so-called three degrees of freedom means that the fingers of this prosthetic limb can be opened and closed, the wrist can be rotated 360 degrees inside and outside or flexed, and the elbow can also be flexed and extended." ”
As he spoke, he was also doing a live demonstration with his own hands.
Chen Shen nodded in understanding, he had done his homework before coming over with these basic knowledge.
"The myogenic upper limb we are studying now is not inferior in performance compared with the prosthetics produced by the top prosthetic companies in China." Ma Zhen sells hard.
"If the performance is great, why haven't you been invested?" Chen Shen asked.
Ma Zhen was a little embarrassed: "Compared with the top international prosthetics, there is still some gap, but this gap is not big, as long as we can get investment, we can continue to research, and we can catch up soon." ”
In fact, there is another reason he didn't say, that is, although their prosthetics are not bad, they are products in the laboratory, and they don't know what will happen after mass production and assembly.
And since the performance of the prosthetic limb is about the same as the top level in China, why do patients choose a fledgling brand instead of using a prosthetic limb from a big domestic brand or a big foreign brand?
Seeing that Ma Zhen was about to start telling the story, Chen Shen hurriedly interrupted him: "I don't care very much about the gap you said, the reason why I have investment intentions in you is because of another thing." ”
This time Ma was really confused.
Because of another thing?
Are you a relative of someone on our team?
Chen Shen didn't know that Ma Zhen was already thinking crookedly, so he continued: "I want to ask, are you interested in changing the direction of research?" ”
