26. Market Downturn

Zhao Yimo searched the two mobile phone numbers that harassed Xia Liangyue in his mobile phone and found that one of the numbers was his college classmate.

He concisely explained the process of the matter in words, and took screenshots of the harassing text messages and sent them to the legal department.

After dealing with these, Zhao Yimo restarted the car and drove to the location of the technology fox with the steering wheel.

Arriving at their destination, the two entered the conference room accompanied by their secretaries.

Zhang Pei, the CEO of Technology Fox, is particularly wealthy, with shrewd eyebrows and eyes. After he saw Xia Liangyue, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "It can be regarded as waiting for Mr. Xia." ”

Xia Liangyue shook it back politely, smiled and nodded. Then sat down and flipped through the documents handed over by Zhang Pei.

Zhao Yimo looked at the careless Xia Liangyue, and after a simple greeting with Zhang Pei, he began to negotiate.

He explained very bluntly that although the products of Technology Fox have a complete and detailed set of business and profit models, and have been tried for a period of time, they are still in the preliminary stage. It is currently between angel investment and Series A financing.

However, Zhao Yi's words are all about positioning Technology Fox in angel investment.

There is a big difference in the amount of investment between the two. Angel investment ranges from 100 to 10 million, and Series A financing ranges from 10 million to 100 million.

Xia Liangyue sat calmly at the conference table, quietly listening to the negotiation between Zhao Yimo and Zhang Pei. The jargon was like a chemical formula, and it made her head spin.

Her front foot still felt like a chemical formula, and Zhang Pei began to talk about chemistry on her back foot.

Under Zhao Yimo's strong questioning, layers of thin sweat broke out on his forehead: "We have always been at the forefront in the fields of batteries, nanotechnology, and AI technology. Especially in the field of batteries, new perovskite solar batteries have been abandoned by us.

At present, the main focus is on lead-free perovskite solar cells and tandem solar cells.

In addition, in the application of nanotechnology, we will continue to go green......"

Zhao Yimo waited until Zhang Pei finished speaking, and euphemistically explained that the science and technology fox is not worth investing so much money, not to mention that it is not the science and technology fox that makes robots. Their products are neither top in the industry, nor too competitive.

To put it mildly, Zhang Pei's technique is not as good as a single hair of Wending.

After a round of negotiations between the two parties, Zhang Pei became more and more uncertain, and he didn't know whether Shimmer Investment would agree to financing. Zhao Yimo's constant pressure, Xia Liangyue's silence, made him like an ant on a hot pot.

Zhang Pei saw that Zhao Yimo was chatting with others, and shifted his attention to Xia Liangyue. The look was like a tiger seeing a lonely white rabbit, with a "kind" tone, pressing step by step: "What does Mr. Xia think?" ”

Xia Liangyue saw Zhao Yimo looking at him with an unkind face, and said: "I think what Mr. Zhao said is very reasonable, but it is not that there is no room for reversal. Why don't you take us to your R&D department to see what the product is? ”

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Zhang Pei immediately got up and led Xia Liangyue to the R&D department, followed by Zhao Yimo and the rest of the directors.

When I went downstairs, I found that the company was very quiet. Inexplicably, Xia Liangyue has the illusion that all employees are robots.

After coming to the R&D department, Zhang Pei kicked the employee who played the game. He smiled at Xia Liangyue, pointed to the position inside, and said, "This is our head of R&D, Guo An." Inside the counter is our latest research robot, you can also take a look. ”

"You're welcome." Xia Liangyue stood in front of the glass counter and looked at the robots of different sizes inside. When the glass mask was put away, Guo An turned on the three robot switches, and the robot's eyes opened in unison, almost startling Xia Liangyue.

Guo An introduced Xia Liangyue: "Once the robot recognizes the master, it will only obey the master's orders. The three types of robots in front of you are babysitter robots, parenting robots, and boyfriend robots. ”

The babysitter robot is only one meter tall and has a cartoon fox design on its head. The big watery eyes blink and blink, and they are really cute.

The parenting robot is a mini type, about ten centimeters, especially like Thumbelina version 2.0. The second male protagonist who looks like a gentle character in the anime, wears black-framed glasses. This appearance made Xia Liangyue think of Shen Xubai.

The boyfriend robot is the tallest, and the appearance is more delicate and beautiful.

They don't know when they were turned on by Guo An. The three robots looked at Xia Liangyue in unison, and affectionately shouted to Xia Liangyue's master.

Guo An smiled at Zhang Pei's suggestion: "You can set the eye color, and even personality and preferences of their pupils, and different personalities trigger different functions and experiences." All three can be given to you if you like it. ”

Xia Liangyue looked down at the three robots, her eyes glowing, and she seemed to like their design. Thinking of the foreign debt on his shoulders, reason quickly returned. She straightened up and watched the functions and features of each of the three robots.

Shimmer invested in Technology Fox because after the completion of the rental areas in various provinces, it wanted robots to serve as administrators, cleaners, security guards and other jobs in the community. And these three in front of you can only be achieved by nanny robots.

For this reason, Xia Liangyue couldn't help but wonder: "I can see the strength of your company, but what I would like to see is a robot that wears many hats, almost completely replacing manpower." For example, community security, cleaning, caretaker ......"

After Guo An understood Xia Liangyue's needs, he said: "We are further researching these chips to develop more efficient chips. ”

Zhang Pei pushed Guo An away and vouched: "As long as Mr. Xia can participate in the investment, we will definitely research the AI chip you need within half a year, and bring you rich returns in the near future." ”

"Yes, but 80 million is too much. If the budget is reduced, I may consider it. Xia Liangyue was about to agree, but when she saw Zhao Yimo's cold eyes, she hurriedly excused herself.

Zhao Yimo was about to speak, but Zhang Pei hurriedly blocked in front of Zhao Yimo. He thought that when Xia Liangyue saw the income of Q1, he would naturally increase his investment, and immediately climbed up the pole: "This...... Yes, too. I don't know, how much are you going to scale? ”

The various communities under Shimmer will also have to be completed as soon as next summer, and if she invests in Technology Fox, she will give Technology Fox a year at most. Let them develop and expand on existing features.

Zhao Yimo was worried on the side, for fear that Xia Liangyue would be fooled by Zhang Pei. Although Tech Fox can create a cake in the future, no one knows how big this cake will be. I don't know if this cake can be eaten.

Xia Liangyue was invited into the conference room by Zhang Pei and sat at the table. She peeked at Zhao Yimo, and said with a smile: "You also know that the market has been sluggish recently. ”

Guo An, who followed closely, was immediately dissatisfied when he heard the remarks that he wanted to eat white food: "Beggars have three melons and two dates these days, let alone a boss like you." ”

Zhang Pei glanced at Guo An coldly, how could he talk to the gold master's father like this! In case Xia Liangyue runs away, they will become angel investors, and there will be no money for operation, research and publicity. He smiled flatteringly and said, "How many dates does Mr. Xia plan to let us eat?" ”

Guo An: ...... Boss, you're off.
